Algae for Energy, Recovery, and Great Skin with Catharine Arnston
Explore the incredible benefits of algae with Catharine Arnston. First, you need to know that it's not a supplement, but a true superfood. This episode focuses on two remarkable algae varieties: spirulina, a vibrant blue-green algae packed with collagen, B vitamins, and essential amino acids, and chlorella, another green gem with unique properties. Discover the differences between these algae powerhouses, when and how to incorporate them into your daily routine, and the science behind their health-boosting effects. Prepare to also dive into the intricate world of enzymes, including superoxide dismutase and ficocyanin, as we explore their role in reducing angiogenesis in cancer cells and enhancing immunity against viral infections, including a certain well-known virus we've all heard about in recent years. Our discussion doesn't stop there. Dr. Stephanie and Catharine explore the myriad applications of algae, from helping children with autism to supporting the demanding lifestyles of athletes and individuals like Dr. Stephanie, a 45-year-old woman dedicated to weight training and cardio. This episode offers a deep, scientifically rich conversation that promises to captivate your inner nerd. Bio: Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, and 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient-dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the world’s most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born.

Patients with skin issues may benefit from a functional medicine approach that considers the connection between gut health and skin issues, like hives, acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis. 00:11:45 - Celiac Genetics and Gluten-Free Diets, Celiac genetics are prevalent in people of Irish descent, and eliminating gluten from the diet can alleviate hives and other skin issues. A functional medicine approach can provide a solution for patients who have seen dermatologists without any results. 00:13:35 - Good and Bad Bacteria in the Gut, The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that includes a set of bad bacteria that serve a purpose and keep the system in balance.

His notable clients include Stone Cold Steve Austin, Derek Fisher, and Pete Sampras. "If there's enough total calories in the diet, enough total carbs in the diet, and of course enough protein in the diet, then the shifting around and the positioning of carbohydrate is best left to pretty much individual preference as far as positioning it for maximizing muscle hypertrophy." - Alan Aragon Links for this episode Nutritional Peak Week and Competition Day Strategies of Competitive Natural Bodybuilders Effect of protein/essential amino acids and resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy: A case for whey protein The Effects of Creatine Supplementation Combined with Resistance Training on Regional Measures of Muscle Hypertrophy: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis Artificial sweeteners induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiota High-dose saccharin supplementation does not induce gut microbiota changes or glucose intolerance in healthy humans and mice Episode Overview: 00:07:17 - Carb timing for muscle growth, Carb timing is less important than protein timing when it comes to muscle hypertrophy. 00:13:59 - Ketogenic diet for muscle growth, While Ketogenic dieting works for many, it's not the optimal tool for maximizing muscle mass and retention. According to elite-level natural bodybuilders, an average of 2 grams of carbohydrate per pound of body weight during prep can help maximize muscle retention while losing fat. 00:15:43 - Carb timing and lifting capacity, Carb timing has less importance than protein timing when it comes to muscle hypertrophy. However, some literature suggests that lifting capacity is compromised when carbohydrates are not consumed, regardless of timing. 00:16:21 - The Effects of Fasted Lifting on Performance, Lifting fasted can compromise performance, so it's recommended to have a mix

A Deep (Sleep) Dive for Perimenopause with Dr. Michael Breus
Our guest, Dr. Michael J. Breus, is a clinical psychologist with more than two decades of experience in the sleep field. As a sleep expert, Dr. Breus advises women going through perimenopause and menopause to establish a regular, consistent sleep schedule to manage the hormonal shifts associated with these transitions. He also recommends deep breathing, hydration, and getting sunlight. "While there is no guidebook for managing menopausal sleep issues, these strategies can help to mitigate some of the symptoms associated with this transition," he says. Dr. Breus stresses the importance of maintaining consistent sleep routines and creating a comfortable sleep environment. He also recommends moderate exercise, avoiding alcohol consumption, and using technology such as temperature-regulating pads. While discipline in sleep routine is crucial, he stresses the importance of acceptance and relaxation, rather than trying to think oneself to sleep or worrying about lack of sleep.

We’re back with Part 2 of the perimenopause series! If you missed Part 1 you can listen to it here before checking out today’s episode.

Female Muscle Building AMA with Dr. Stephanie Estima
This week on the Better show we bring back the AMA - Ask Me Anything with Dr. Stephanie Estima. We went to instagram and had a flood of questions, and the majority of them revolved around Female Muscle Building. We begin the episode by breaking the myth of Creatine especially for women’s use of it. We then discuss the best ways women can gain muscle, as we aren’t the same as our male counterparts. The age-old question that is asked of Dr. Steph, “Through training and nutrition, is there a way to gain muscle, but still limit fat gain?” Well listen in to hear the answer. Dr. Estima tells us how she feels about Amino Acids, and other ways to boost performance for training. We push into the next discussion around training Fasted, or training Fed, as some people may prefer fasted over fed workouts. We have a question about glucose levels rising during workouts and if it’s normal to see that, and finishing off the episode with Dr. Stephanie’s favourite protein powder. We are looking forward to our next AMA so be sure to follow Dr. Stephanie Estima on instagram to get the opportunity to contribute to the next one!

Fasting for Women with PCOS, Estrogen Dominance & Thyroid Symptoms with Dr. Stephanie Estima
This week on the Better Show we are pleased to present Dr. Stephanie Estima's second solo episode on Fasting for Women. Dr. Stephanie thought she would share part of her presentation that she showed at Oxford University, who are currently working in the Oxford Longevity Project. Today’s episode is a continuation from PT1 which covered some of the differentials we have to consider when fasting as a woman. We continue our discussion on fasting for women with PCOS, what the symptoms are and what tweaks we can make to better your well-being. If you are an Estrogen Dominant woman, be sure to listen to this as your typical fasting instructional might be leading you in the wrong direction and you should consider a caloric-fast…and no that is not an oxymoron. Next Dr. Stephanie Estima educates us about chronic inflammation and stress, and how the majority of all humans have these symptoms. We discuss how fasting can benefit and sometimes rectify these symptoms like weight loss resistance, lack of energy, insomnia and difficulties staying asleep. The next topic is Leptin, the good old hormone that signals to your brain that you are full and to stop eating. Fasting can be more difficult for women compared to men, as a baseline women have 3-4 times more leptin than their male counterparts. We round out this episode of the Better show by talking about the negative effects of fasting on the thyroid. This impacts women that have been fasting for a long time, so be sure to test and look out for your thyroid as you incorporate fasting into your lifestyle long term, We hope this episode helped shed some light on fasting as a woman, be sure to go back and check out our previous episode on the topic, and we hope to catch you next week for our AMA!

The Neuroscience of Winning with Dr.Stephanie Estima
This week on the Better Show we are pleased to present Dr. Stephanie Estima's speech at Changemaker 2022. Dr. Stephanie Estima has over 19 years in practice, she’s a best selling author, and ofcourse your host of the Better Show on this here channel. We begin by talking about the impact of dopamine and serotonin on our neurophysiology when we win. How and why it feels great to win, and how our brain remembers that joyous feeling, pushing us to win again. Dr. Stephanie explains the difference in longevity between winning and just missing out on winning by studies on Olympians, high level athletes, and on Nobel Peace Prize winners and runner ups life spans. We dive back into dopamine and how testosterone responds in accordance with its level. Winners and losers have different levels of testosterone, winning will set you up towards neurological momentum, and losing can send you into a neurological tail spin respectively. We continue with implementable strategies on how to increase your levels of dopamine, including chocolate, nicotine, the pursuit of sex, and exercise. Additionally when you think about something that is pleasurable to you, your brain will release dopamine as well as when you eventually engage in said activity. The dopamine and oxytocin increase we get when we are a part of a community is something we as a human species need and is great for your brain and longevity. Next we hear the pitfalls we can fall into by creating a reward system based around a future outcome, and how time seems to slow when we pursue that and will require a lot more dopamine to attain. We finish off this speech by discussing the mindset shift way from the outcome of winning and towards putting forth 100% effort. This change in approach can be drastically different and your brain will release dopamine during the process and not just at the end of the race. Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction 1:40 What it feels like to Win 5:00 Winning’s Impact on Longevity 6:30 Dopamine & Testosterone 10:00 Ways to Increase your Dopamine Levels 17:00 Dopamine’s Impact on Time 19:00 Effort Reinforcement 22:00 Conclusion Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more money Are you A Healthcare Practitioner?

The Genetics of Estrogen, Testosterone, Detoxification and Autism with Kashif Khan
This week we welcome Kashif Kahn to the Better Show to talk about Genetics. Kashif is the CEO of The DNA Company, and we were able to speak in depth with him about our pre-determinants that will impact many aspects of our lives. We began talking about DNA reports, why copy variants are super important in gene reporting. Clinicians listen up because we spoke about androgens and hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. We dove deep into Methylation, and more specifically the COMT gene and it’s role in methylation and how it impacts a person’s personality and their aversion to risk. We had a very nuanced discussion about Autism, and the ability to detoxify adjuvants in vaccines and the environment as a predisposition for someone being exposed to those toxicants. We rounded out the conversation talking about fat and carbohydrates and how much of a role our genetic makeup plays in how we process them.

Athletic Performance, Brain Health & Ketones - A Discussion with Michael Brandt
The Better show welcomes Michael Brandt to the show this week! Michael is the co-founder and CEO of HVMN, a triathlete and marathoner. A former Stanford grad in computer science and design he became a product manager at Google, then went onto being an Adjunct Professor at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Today we are talking all about Ketones. We explore the role of ketones and its effect on the brain as we age. We chat about the benefits of ketones as an appetite suppressor, how it can help recover post workout and the ketogenic diet. We talk about exogenous ketones being used without being on the ketogenic diet, and if it’s still effective. Michael explains the difference between salts and esters, and how HVMN has evolved to get even better at producing awesome products for those in the bio-hacking sphere.

How To Crack The Cancer Code, Beat Genetics, and Stop Cancer Before It Starts with Dr. Jason Fung
Today we speak to Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist and world-renowned expert on fasting. We discuss his book, The Cancer Code, a departure from traditional medical approaches which view cancer as a series of genetic mutations, or unregulated growth. We aim to answer the question What Exactly Is Cancer? Why does it occur in every cell of the body and how is it found in all mammals, and species other than our own? We explore the shortcomings of the somatic mutation theory and present a new evolutionary paradigm for cancer - that it is a return to an earlier form of cells. We explore the differences between multicellular organisms and unicellular organisms and the hallmarks that cancer shares with each. We discuss the Warburg effect and cancer’s seemingly bizarre preference for glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen. We also explore how lactic acid production may lend an evolutionary advantage to the progression of cancer. We overlay genetic mutations with environmental contributions- the seed (genetic) and the soil (environment) as an explanation for how cancer can grab hold and become metastatic. We finish talking about solutions we can all use through dietary modifications including fasting, improving glucose control, and insulin sensitivity.

I am beyond reason, don’t speak to me.” (17:53) (Dr. Mark) “I started standup a while ago but only got into it seriously a couple of year ago. And, I originally used it as a personal growth tool.” (20:05) (Mia) “You’re gonna have a hard time convincing me that people won’t like great food if it’s put in front of them.” (29:13) (Dr. Mark) “One of the things that really is big for people is the role of mental health and food. And, people don’t understand that their mood, their depression, their anxiety, all that can be related – even ADD – can be related to what they’re eating.” (34:44) (Dr. Mark) “When you create a regenerative farm, which is essentially integrating animals and plant species using animals in a way that actually regenerates through their poo and their pee and they’re running around and chewing on the grass, it actually builds soil. And also, it holds water and it requires less irrigation. So it’s a win-win-win and it produces better quality food.” (44:22) “So we had to figure out how to build a bridge between us so that he understands that if I need a moment to go and figure it out, it’s not because I’m running or withdrawing. It’s because I want to come back with a really open heart and a clean space so we can really deal and heal with whatever it is.” (56:02) LINKS MENTIONED <a href=

And maybe I’m not born here to be an investment banker. Maybe I’m here to follow a different kind of a path.” (09:14) “And, just to take a step back, it’s really healthcare where the goal is self-efficacy. And, what that means is the goal where people can take care of themselves and they don’t need a doctor and they don’t need medication.” (14:10) “There was one stat that I have in the book which is that if you’re subject to a targeted rejection – which is someone intending to break a social bond with you, like a divorce or you get fired from your job – your risk of depression goes up by twenty-two times.” (25:05) “The reason why I think it makes sense to reestablish those groups in healthcare is that, eventually, everyone comes across some sort of health issue. And that’s a moment where we can sort of bring them into a group if they need it.” (32:15) “And the Therapeutic Order comes from naturopathic medicine, and all it says is ‘we should start with the least costly, least invasive interventions first and then work our way up to drugs and surgery as a last resort.” (40:44) “So ultimately, my vision for transforming healthcare is really to create this bottom layer of empowerment groups that facilitate turning on the body’s healing mechanisms and dealing with weakened systems that have been weakened as a result of malnutrition and so forth.” (44:20) “Here’s the thing. If you teach someone to meditate and you do it ten percent wrong, what is the downside risk of that? It’s nothing. If you give people the wrong drug, the downside risk could be death.” (1:01:13) “I think that, for practitioners who are involved, I think you really have to realize that your expertise is not as valuable as your ability to help people help themselves.” (1:04:36) LINKS MENTIONED Better!

I’m like, ‘I promise, if you let me live today that I will figure out why I couldn’t do those things. I will fix my life and then I’ll spend the rest of my life teaching other people how to do it.’” (14:59) “The word belief carries a much different connotation two thousand years ago than it does if you read literature, say within the last hundred years. The way the word is even used is completely different.” (39:05) “I believe that everybody has a purpose, a specific purpose. We don’t have this unbelievable intellect for nothing.” (41:52) “Based on the Law of Polarity, there’s nothing that has just one side to it. Everything has two sides. And those things are connected; they’re not separate. So, we look at poverty and wealth as two separate things; they’re not. They’re one in the same thing either rightly or wrongly used.” (53:17) “The way that we get to know our true self is through expression. If we cannot express the way that we feel naturally, we never get in touch with that nor are we able to bring it into a healthy balance.” (59:01) “He said, ‘David, you’ll always get what you need when you need it. Not what you want, but what you need. So, if you’re willing to step into whatever that is, you’ll never be without.’” (1:11:23) “I think that, both genetically and spiritually, we’re born to be a success.

It is an instantaneous right of passage.” (06:39) “The moment we become comfortable is the moment that our progress stops.” (16:42) “There’s a lot of myth out there that individuals believe that the protein requirements are different for men versus women. And that’s actually not true. Protein requirements are based on blood volume and lean muscle mass.” (35:10) “It is probably the single worst piece of advice that anyone could be given is to, in mid-life, go vegan or vegetarian.” (37:45) “Really you should keep your protein consistent. So, whether it’s the first meal of the day, your first meal of the day, the first thing you’re eating doesn’t have to be breakfast, but it needs to be high-protein.” (48:23) “I think it [The Game Changers] does a good job to show diversity. But, the truth is it’s a fear-mongering, propaganda film that is dangerous for the public and dangerous for our aging population. There’s little to no science in that film.” (1:11:22) “That actually is one of their [Navy SEALs] superpowers is humor. It could literally be the worst situation ever and they’re making jokes about it. It is uncanny their capacity for optimism.” (1:19:57) “So, we all think practice makes perfect.

Throughout the menstrual cycle we have this ebb and flow of hormones that really gives us superpowers.” (16:42) “For me, and really I think for many women, we don’t need other people’s beliefs when we’re trying to make an informed decision. We need the facts and we need the information, and we can frame those within our belief system.” (23:12) “While hormonal birth control can rob you of your libido, when you come off of it, if you’ve selected your mate while you were on it and you come off of it, you may report more sexual dissatisfaction.” (32:47) “If women have ever used hormonal birth control for six months or more in their lifetime, they have over thirty percent risk of developing diabetes post-menopausal.” (44:04) “Women are dismissed and die at higher rates of heart attacks than men because we’re often told, ‘Oh you’re just stressed. You’re just anxious. It’s just in your head.’” (46:49) “Women are tricky. But ya know what isn’t tricky about women? How well they know their body.

And, there’s something else that’s in neurological diseases, it’s a very similar idea called brain energy gap.” (07:14) “It’s [Berberine] been shown in studies to be as effective, if not more effective, than Metformin, which is known as an incredible glucose disposal agent.” (14:47) “One of the ways that keto works is that you’re not creating as much oxidation and you are using an alternate fuel source – ketones – and you are insulin-resistant, and you are in this insufficient cellular energy state, and you don’t have enough glucose readily available for substrate. That’s why keto is a miracle.” (29:34) “It’s a beautiful thing in terms of evolution that we could be by the ocean, we could be in the trees, we could be in a barren winter wasteland, we could be in whatever climate all over the world and find a food source. That’s incredible.” (46:53) “When we’re in an optimized state, when our mitochondria are functioning optimally, we’re not only anti-aging, anti-disease, pro-energy, but we’re able to deal with stress better.” (1:01:08) “I think happiness is a choice.

Progesterone is a potent stimulator of your appetite. It slows down your bowels.

Sometimes, these are patients that they’re such great successes that you take a lot of pride in…but even more important are those patients that you failed.” (14:42) “That’s why the title of the book is Playing God , because so many doctors think they’re playing God. And, in the end, what I’ve come to realize is that it’s not that as a doctor you’re playing God, it’s that you need God to help you to help your patients.” (20:03) “One thing I think that I have learned over the last many years, as I’ve gotten to know doctors like yourself and a lot of our holistic health colleagues, I’ve learned how much I don’t know. And that’s a lot.” (22:10) “There are actually studies that show that if you combine Vitamin C and Vitamin E, their antioxidant power, basically, is synergistically increased. For some reason, you put them separately, they do what they do separately. You put them together, and it’s much better than them separate.” (33:00) “If you don’t care that you’re having a medical procedure done that’s unnecessary, well think about that maybe you may be screwing yourself in the future because if you do it too much when you’re young, it might not work when you’re older.” (41:26) “The important thing to take away from this is that there are no smooth surface implants that we know of that have been related to this ALCL on their own.” (49:07) “Literally five years ago if you were to ask the majority of plastic surgeons if breast implant illness is real or is it a psychiatric condition, probably ninety-eight percent of them or more would say it’s a psychiatric condition, it’s the women thinking this and they’re wrong.” (50:38) LINKS MENTI

But, I also wanted to start the conversation because I felt no one was really saying the kinds of things that I was saying.” (08:15) “I think that the major driver of aging, put simply, is a loss of information.” (10:19) “I think it’s worth clarifying that the sirtuins are protectors of our bodies, but they can also cause aging by being distracted too much.” (25:11) “It’s all about being uncomfortable. Our bodies would much rather sit in a chair and eat popcorn.

It’s about philosophy.” (11:44) “People who really pursue the process [of success], they are undefeatable.” (31:41) “The great thing about rage and anger is they are phenomenal focusers of energy.” (33:49) “What matters to me is movement. Movement matters because movement creates momentum. Momentum creates confidence. And confidence creates certainty.” (36:08) “The alter ego is simply a mental tool that we’ve got that allows us to disassociate ourselves from our own story and start to play through the idea of someone and something else that we admire.” (41:44) “What makes us unique – human beings – is our creative imagination, our ability to create new stories about what we’re capable of. We can shift and we can change in an instant.” (52:23) “I’ve had people who have picked an alter ego because it sounded like a nice idea, but they didn’t actually connect with that person. There wasn’t like an emotional tug and I need that emotional tug when I’m working with someone.” (1:02:21) LINKS MENTIONED Better!

They’re very open about their feelings. They’re not yet jaded and critical like we can be.” (11:03) “I think keep it to day-to-day expectations and the rest will kind of take care of itself. If they’re [your children] meant to be a scientist, they’re going to be a scientist. If they’re meant to be an artist, they’re going to be an artist. Don’t dictate their future.” (15:52) “Success has become the goal of childhood. Not play, not exploration, not nothingness, not boredom, not creativity, but success.” (19:58) “Our children are not here to live our lives. And they’re not here to fulfill our destinies.
