A Lack Of This Is Linked To Cancer? 😱

July 28, 2025 / 01:31

This episode covers vitamin D deficiency, omega-3 index, heart aging reversal, exercise benefits, cognitive function, creatine, magnesium, and various health protocols.

The guest discusses the link between vitamin D deficiency and an 80% increase in dementia risk, emphasizing the lack of awareness about this issue. They also highlight how a low omega-3 index can be as detrimental to health as smoking.

They explain that a two-year training protocol can reverse heart aging by 20 years, and that lifestyle choices account for 70% of aging. The conversation includes the impact of exercise on the hippocampus, which can actually grow with physical activity.

Additionally, the episode covers the effects of creatine on cognitive function during sleep deprivation, and the importance of magnesium for overall health, noting that 50% of Americans are deficient.

Other topics include the benefits of saunas, red light therapy, ketogenic diets, and the health advantages of blueberries and electrolytes.

TLDR

This episode discusses lifestyle changes to combat aging and improve health, including vitamin D, omega-3s, exercise, and supplements.

Why do people not know that vitamin D deficiency can increase dementia risk by 80%. Why do people not know that having
00:00:06
a low omega-3 index is as bad for you in terms of mortality as smoking? Why do people not know that you can take
00:00:12
someone midlife, put them on this 2-year training protocol, and reverse the aging
00:00:16
of their heart by 20 years? And as a scientist, I've seen firsthand that 70% of the way you're aging is actually due
00:00:22
to your lifestyle. And all these things are so easy to do. So for example, as we
00:00:26
age, certain areas of the brain which is involved in learning and memory starts to shrink by about 1 to 2% per year. The
00:00:33
good news is studies show that people being part of an exercise protocol, not only did they not have their hippocampus
00:00:39
shrink, it actually grew by 1 to 2%. And there's more. There are other things that don't even require as much effort
00:00:45
as exercise, like supplements. And it's been shown study after study that if you
00:00:49
take someone and you sleep deprive them for 21 hours and give them 25 to 30 grams of creatine, not only does it
00:00:55
negate the cognitive deficits of sleep deprivation, it makes people function better than if they were well rested.
00:01:02
And then there's magnesium. There have been studies showing that people with the highest magnesium levels have a 40%
00:01:07
lower all-c cause mortality. And over 300 different enzymes in your body need it to help with short-term survival. And
00:01:13
yet 50% of the population in the United States does not have adequate levels of magnesium. And there's still more.
00:01:19
There's saunas, red light therapy, ketogenic diets, blueberries, electrolytes. We can talk about all of
00:01:25
them, please. Okay. So, when you go into this sauna, something happens that's incredible. So,
