The Energy Blueprint Podcast

The Top Supplements for Brain Health, Brain Foods, and The 3 Keys to Alzheimer's Prevention and Optimal Brain Health with Julia Lundstrom

This weeks guest, Scott Sherr MD, a hyperbaric optimization therapy and health optimization medicine (HOMe) doctor. He has devoted his work to help people optimize their health through the use of HBOT. Today, he will share some of the amazing benefits of using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to optimize your health and overcome fatigue.

If you want to be fit, live longer, and have more energy, you need to make sure that you move your body. Movement throughout the day has a tremendously beneficial impact on your life. Unfortunately, many of us are not moving our bodies in accordance with the way we were designed and that is a contributing factor to pain, poor posture and performance, and fatigue. So, how can change the way we move? One way is to start doing some simple movement training to teach your body to move the way it was intended.

This week, I talk with Alex Viada. Alex is probably one of the fittest people in the world. He has designed a hybrid training method that trains your body for health, strength, and longevity. The amazing thing about this particular method is that it can be applied to ANYONE REGARDLESS of their individual fitness level. In this episode, we will discuss exercise, why most people are exercising in ways that aren’t optimal for health, (and overcome exercise intolerance.)

Does any of this seem familiar to you? You come home from a busy day at the office and you have that buzz of people constantly talking still going on in your head. You live next to a busy street and the constant traffic noise is disturbing you. Maybe you are just feeling stressed and have poor sleep so you feel tired all the time. Then, have you ever felt down or tired, only to put on your favorite song and started feeling happier or more energetic?

This week, I am talking to Maryam Henein, who has been dubbed the Erin Brockovich of the bee world. She is an investigative journalist, activist, functional medicine coach, filmmaker (she directed the documentary ”Vanishing of the Bees”), and entrepreneur. She will share her incredible health story and how she has managed to heal herself from multiple autoimmune diseases and a traumatic accident, why she has become so incredibly passionate about bees, and why CBD oil changed her life.

Genes are an essential part of who we are as individuals. They control everything, from how we look to how susceptible we are to certain health issues. In recent years, scientists have found that certain gene mutations (like the MTHFR) or gene variations (such as the RCCX) affect how likely we are to develop health issues. Studies are now emerging that shows how the RCCX genes are linked to many complex illnesses such as CFS, Fibromyalgia, EDS, POTS, and various autoimmune diseases.

Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe), on the other hand, detects and corrects imbalances applying the cutting-edge sciences of Clinical Metabolomics, Epigenetics, Gut Microbiome Health, Exposomics, Chronobiology, and Evolutionary Medicine – subjects that are not currently taught in medical schools.

The extracellular matrix – it could lead one to think of Neo in the popular trilogy The Matrix - however, it is actually a real and important system in your body. The Extracellular matrix is a network of connective tissue, collagen fibers, the lymphatic vessels, and all of the tributaries in the lymphatic system.

We have all, at some point in our lives, experienced a viral infection (such as the flu or common cold) which left us bedridden for a few days. The body gives us fever and fatigue in order to ensure that it has the best circumstances to heal. However, sometimes the virus is a bit more aggressive (Lyme or Epstein-Barr) and harder to get rid of. In recent years, it has become apparent that these common viruses can trigger chronic fatigue (also known as CFS or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) if left untreated.

In recent years, multiple studies have emerged unveiling the immense role mitochondria play in everything from stress resilience, to health to energy levels. It turns out that mitochondria basically function as small batteries and detect threats (toxins, stress, and poor lifestyle choices) at a cellular level. So, how do mitochondria work? Is there a direct connection between the health of your mitochondria and fatigue? And what can you do to optimize your mitochondria and live to 100?

Food allergies and intolerances have become a worldwide epidemic. It is highly likely that you know someone who is suffering from food intolerance. When talking to most health professionals about your reaction to foods, they will likely tell you that you need to get some sort of food sensitivity testing done. These are not only very expensive, they are also highly inaccurate (you are basically throwing money out your window).

Being a mom is a huge privilege. You are raising this small wonder who, one day, will grow up and contribute to the world. But, being a parent has a lot of challenges that contribute to many mothers feeling stressed out and overwhelmed. I was personally surprised when I found out how much demand there is on a parent. How do those mothers who seem to have everything under control manage to do it all?

It can be very frustrating when you are having low energy. Especially when you think back on what exercises you were able to do before the fatigue set in. It makes you sit and wonder whether you will be able to get enough energy to do those things you enjoyed, This week, I am talking to Heather and Damian Dubé. Heather will share her story about how she learned that she had Chronic Fatigue and Hashimoto’s, and how this led her and Damian on a path to help people get der life and health back.

Many of us today, are walking around with one or more of the most common eye problems. When we go see a doctor, we are either told that we have to get a surgery or use prescription drugs or glasses for the rest of our lives and that our eyesight cannot be reversed. One of the main reasons why people end up taking these types of treatment is that most are unaware of some of the main causes of poor eye health and that it, in fact, can be reversed.
