EFR 796: Using Nitric Oxide to Reverse Diabetes, Save Newborns, Treat Viruses and Natural Ways to Boost Nitric Oxide Through Diet and Nasal Breathing with Dr. Louis Ignarro

1h 22m · Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning · 15 Apr 07:30

This episode is brought to you by Blokes, Joi and BIOptimizers.

Imagine the power of a simple molecule coursing through your veins, holding the key to longevity, peak performance, and a fortress-like defense against cardiovascular disease. Nobel Laureate Dr. Louis Ignarro returns to unveil the wonders of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule his research helped bring into the health spotlight. With insights into its impact on conditions from diabetes to erectile dysfunction, Dr. Ignarro discusses how NO isn't just a part of our biology—it's a vital protector of it.

This episode isn't just about groundbreaking science; it's a treasure trove of practical advice. We discover the astonishing connection between humming and NO levels and delve into how diet—from the antioxidant-rich Mediterranean diet to the scrutinized carnivore diet—plays a pivotal role in NO production. But it's not all about what you eat; we also cover the effects of nasal breathing techniques and why something as simple as mouth tape could revolutionize the way you sleep.

Lastly, we look to the horizon of medical innovation, where the potential for inhaled nitric oxide therapy shines bright—not just for newborns in distress but for severe COVID-19 cases and beyond. Dr. Ignarro's insights are a testament to the molecule's versatility, with possibilities extending into performance enhancement for athletes and the development of on-demand NO generation devices.

EFR 808: Why Saturated Fats Are Actually Good For You and the Discovery of C15 with Dr. Eric Venn-Watson

This episode is brought to you by Blokes and Joi, Fatty 15, and Paleovalley.

Join us as we explore the groundbreaking benefits of saturated fats, specifically focusing on odd-chain saturated fatty acids like C15. Our guest, military physician and co-founder of Seraphina Therapeutics, Eric Venn-Watson, sheds light on how C15 is essential for cellular health, longevity, and chronic disease prevention. Eric shares his expertise on why decades of avoiding saturated fats might have been misguided and how C15, the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years, can strengthen cell membranes and improve health metrics such as energy, mood, and even sex drive.

In this episode, you'll hear about the fascinating discovery that linked dolphin health studies to human metabolic diseases, revealing the crucial role of C15 in healthy aging. Eric explains how changes in agricultural practices and dietary preferences have led to widespread C15 deficiencies in human diets, potentially contributing to various health issues. We also explore the relationship between the endocannabinoid system and C15, highlighting its potential as a superior alternative to omega-3s in activating longevity pathways and promoting healthier aging.

EFR 804: What is the Purpose of Life? What Evolution and Human Nature Imply About the Meaning of Our Existence with Dr. Samuel Wilkinson

This episode is brought to you by Comrad Socks, Legacy, and LMNT.

What is the purpose of life? Does science have any claim to this question? For generations, many have concluded that evolution implies there is no overarching purpose to our existence. Life has no fundamental meaning. We are merely the accumulation of tens of thousands of intricate molecular accidents. Some scientists take this logic one step further: “The fact of evolution is … inherently atheistic… It goes against the notion that there is a God.”

But is this true?

By integrating emerging principles from a variety of scientific disciplines—ranging from evolutionary biology to psychology—Yale Professor Samuel Wilkinson provides a framework of evolution that implies not only that there is an overarching purpose to our existence, but what this purpose is.

Closely related topurposeismeaning. What is the meaning of life? Based on the scientific data, it would seem that one such meaning is to develop deep and abiding relationships. At least that’s what most people report are the most meaningful aspects of their lives. And our relationships that are most meaningful are those with our families, those with whom we share our genes. This is a function of our evolution. It is how we were created.
