Interview Dr Jack Kruse. Please!!!!!
This chick is fine.
Thank you for having me Danny! I loved being on your show and hope that your audience resonates with the tools and strategies I discuss
Excited to hear this interview!
This is good stuff. As a lung cancer survivor with autoimmune disease, I'm constantly managing my health via biohacking strategies. Going to change up my cold plunging approach immediately.
I’m so glad you speak to preventative medicine in such a proactive way
good stuff
I always welcome new additions to my lexicon
It was a super Talk, thank you very much. DeinStamm
It's fascinating to see how lifestyle and daily routines can overshadow genetic predispositions. Australia may be the best country in the world, but it's all about how we take care of ourselves!
That was always the answer.
People in first world countries (cities) forgot what it is to be human.
sure, its also one of the best places to increase the risk of dangerous animal or insect "attacks" or similar ;) i personally dont believe any place is the best, cause everyone has different reasonings on why a country or anything is "best"
@guillermoguevara6375 We've stopped living our own lives and instead get much amounts of "fulfillment" vicariously through other people's lives and... ick.. "content" 🤢
@@ReptilezDznAs someone who all over the world you are wrong.
America is a good place if you wanna make money but lacks family structure they are not a family unit.
First world countries you are individuals and humans are not suppose to be independent but interdependent for all of human history and now that’s what we are.
First world countries are destroying what makes a society run correctly which is family’s.
Not money.
This also makes perfect sense to me as a retail worker. We have tons and tons of over weight docile people in their 50s and 60s who legitimately act like zombies at the register. It's likely because they're not getting enough oxygen to the brain and are increasing the degradation of their brains.
It was always a mystery to me and for the longest time I just thought it was me being pissy about annoying old customers...but I think it has to do with what she's saying because it's almost always with out of shape people.
My boy Danny at 1:21 was about to spit game and rethought the whole thing 😂😂
This girl is probably the only REAL scientists, where everything she says is valid/test/and papered ! Congrats for getting real scientists
She did a great job of describing the topic here. It’s incredibly hard to grasp when experts catch their flow but her pace and verbiage are on point
The Beyoncé drink is actually called the Master Cleanse or lemonade diet. It’s been around forever as a body reset for those interested.
What's in it?
Yeah-i first heard of that drink years ago.. people I knew used to use it to get ready for the beach 😂
Thought I'd heard of it my mother in the 90s on every diet known to man. Atkinson one minute something else the next. My mum is actually in a position she can't exercise one of the genuine people who can't do much. Breaks my heart each me my dad brother and sister would take her problems in a heartbeat.
Everyone generally says the same my mum is special mine really is, probably why I'm so sensitive. I tried for so long to hide that side of me with drugs. Yeah I ran towards it after 20 years addiction. It's just better being who I really am.
Yeah Ive done this 3 or so times over the years. First time I think was 8 days and surprisingly I felt pretty incredible during that period. The first few days were pretty tough. My last time was 2q but i wouldn't recommend that. Can't imagine my body was happy with me. That being said I still felt great the whole time. I think I was trying to go so long as a point to myself that I can do more than I was giving myself credit for. Kind of a determination test type deal. Do your research and be safe😊
Pretty hilarious to hear her say Australia is the best and then go straight into a story about how she was deprived of her most basic human rights and locked away like an animal for no reason
Not to mention that she doesn’t live in her so called greatest country
@@scholarwarriorhealerA lot of "great" places are wonderful from a far.
There's many many great things about Australia. Our government isn't one of them.
For someone discussing neuropsychology the cognitive dissonance is astoundingly ironic.
@@MostlyCensored Yeah, exactly. Who would have thunk?
In hindsight the whole COVID lockdown thing is crazy. To think that multiple countries made an OVERNIGHT decision to deprive their citizens of their civil rights over health concerns is nuts.
100 years of medical history showcasing why it is bad to take a rushed, undertested medical treatment. But it was okay during Covid because Gates, Fauci and friends wanted to buy some new yachts using tax money by way of their patents on the new treatments.
I don’t think hindsight is necessary for this realisation.
@kaiworleyphotography I agree depending on the country. Eg: china welding people int heir house is insane, but meager compared to well known atrocities they commit against their own citizens(eg: death vans, etc.)
The US was insanely wrong for forcing businesses to close but I try to look back through the lense of what we knew / didn't know. Covid was projected to be far more deadly than it turned out. Whether or not the government and WHO knee better is up for debate, but as a citizen I'll admit I was terrified. I personally was anticipating it could escalate to where society would collapse, as melodramatic as it sounds now. If you're facing some crazy percentage of the population straight up dying or having permanent health repercussions, staying inside "for a few weeks" didn't seem rash at all to me perosnally
Hindsight??
Cry me a river.
Ok, I’m totally in love… with the idea of strengthening my prefrontal cortex.
Best country in the world. 1 minute later talks about being locked up for no reason.
It's not like it doesn't happen here in the FREE country of the USA. While most Americans think this is a free country. I saw a video on UA-cam (with a little work you can find this list) a few weeks ago that listed the Freest countries in the world. Strangely the US came in 34th with Norway/Sweden being the No 1 free country in the world. Like George Carlin says, we only think we're free.
Wow she explained complicated concepts easy to understand.
The Doctor is so smart ,educated,well spoken ,beautiful, femenine and that accent ❤❤!
No make up ,no fake eyelashes .
Brain health is just as important as body health.
Much more important i get your point though.
I'm 61, in the past two to three years I've noticed a marked decrease in my reaction time. If I drop something small or like hear something rolling off the table, my hand instantly shoots out to intercept the object. I don't try to catch it, my hand goes to where the object will be, not where it is at that moment. It's weird because I'm not thinking about it at all, and it's scary fast at times. This seems very counterintuitive, considering that I am getting older, and I haven't modified my diet or exercising activity. The one thing that I can identify as different in my life, would be my cognitive and emotional well-being are much more primary in all of my daily activities. This comes as a result of having experienced the trauma of malignant narcissistic abuse and my subsequent battle for emotional clarity and a full and honest understanding of my personality type as it effects my state of mind and personal interactions.
After saying all of that, I suppose the brain trauma and healing process of the relationship with my narcissistic friend, could have modified my brain/blood chemistry. And the shortened reaction time is a noticeable effect of my changed physiology. Humm, does that sound right to any of you out there? Please let me know what you think.
Be kind and do good work.
🙃🦂😇🐯🦄💜
Lionsmane shroom search it upp
I think you're right on! I guess the good news is you have reaction times almost on part with a superhero.
I too often joke that my only talent is catching something that I accidentally knock off a table or bench and catching it before it hits the floor just like you, and why couldn't I have a talent that is useful that I can make a living from😀😁
It's more likely, since you claim nothings changed in your daily routine, that your lengthy experience (61yo) has supplemented your instinct to predict where falling/rolling objects will be at an intersection where your normal speed reaction will place your hand.
Basically, you're more aware of the world of physics and your habits are strengthened by predetermined knowledge of how fast objects move in space.
I'm 51. I have the exact same experience. But I did notice that practice makes perfect. 🙏
The first part reminded me of banging a strimmer aka weed whacker to get more line out while twisting to get through a gate and it went straight into my eye somehow my eyelid shut. Truly amazing our bodies. Couldn't see properly for a while no harm done longevity wise.
While everyone panic during the lockdowns we were completely free without any enforced restrictions in San Diego California. Kudos to the PD here for refusing to violate our rights. We do have have one of the finest city’s in the world.
Same with Huntington Beach
Ego inflation. Adrenaline junkies. People are addicted to the stress. Neurotic. And we are living in a stress induced fight or flight. Survival mode. And we have to suppress emotions and fawn all day. And we are supposed to have a good attitude when we are in bad moods.
Unfortunately that's me I love adrenaline absolutely love it. The ego part not so much I'm much more understated than anything.
@stephenlamley541
We all ego's and we all have a wild side. We have a persona or personality as well. It's just patterns just like the ego. Hobbies and habits.
Danny, thank you for bringing on guests like this! Concise and informative, following her everywhere 🧠 ✨
Louisa is awesome.
Amazing podcast! We need more content like this
Another amazing pod Danny you’ve been getting so much smarter it’s absolutely amazing how you find these people and able to flow with them it’s impressive ❤😊
Outstanding. I recently moved into bands/straps wheelchair / chair based training due to a medical complication from injuries in war some years ago
The medical complication was a partial below knee amputation which was further complicated as I had a Grade 4 Anaphylaxis event.
They call me lucky. Or Fo. Half a foot.
Anyway, things happened during that event. No white lights and enticing tunnels but something better. Terrifyingly beautiful.
I’m working to introduce band training into all those health areas that don’t get a fair go - aged care facilities; pensioners; long term care patients et al
I’m finding the ability to go from 100 grams resistance through 100 kg simply by moving the chair is really well received. The folks participating love it and I’m looking to transition into some outdoor activities for them based on ability such as bushwalking in 50 metre increments and bouldering, abseiling etc.
This podcast has really been of tremendous help to me - it’s like the gates have opened and confirmed what I’m doing is right.
Thank you
My family from Cyprus as well but came to US and returned as soon as Cyprus gained independence from Britain. Nice to meet you
This was SOOO good!!!! I still have an hour left and still listening but super informative and fascinating she’s AWESOME!!
❤
Louisa may have just saved my life. This info is too important.
amazing one ! thx for sharing all those great actionable tips
Thanks so much, I loved this show.
It's so important to listen to actual medically trained health experts these days, with so many influencers pushing dubious claims and extreme practices. Fantastic guest. Cut through all the bullshit. A ringing endorsement of the fundamentals of health--exercise, nutrition, sleep, balance and moderation.
The accent, the brains, the dedication to her craft. God broke the mold with her.
There are no "gods." They are all manmade fairy tales. Every single one of them. Put the book of indoctrinated nonsense away, grow up, join reality, and use some critical thinking for a change.
Simp.
She's cool but I don't think we need to involve God just because a woman became educated in a niche STEM field.
Great podcast! This lady is beautiful and I love women that don’t cake on the makeup. Also helps to listen when it’s easy on the eyes.
This woman is incredible! i loved this episode.
Big D Danny showing some impressive interviewing skills
Man I love this podcast, always some of the most interesting guests and topics IMO. Danny cracks me tf up sometimes to idk why 🤣
Danny, being a 37 year resident of Orlando, I wish I had met you , but nowadays I live in Albuquerque NM, I love the scope and depth of your work, ❤
Great episode!
Thanks for a great interview. I just bought a few products she recommended. She encouraged me to keep up with my exercise routines. I wish she'd talk about yoga. I do enjoy including it in my life. Please get her back.
Found your channel a few months ago, Love the content!
I wish Danny would be more critical of her statements. Like when she is skeptical of vitamin d supplements yet she doesn't actually know what are they effects of taking too much. K2 is not Just for abortion it prevents calcium from going to your arteries. She is skeptical about nicotine yet doesn't know any empirical data on it. She says there's no point in taking any vitamin supplement or nootropic if you're not perfectly healthy. Is everyone else actually impressed by this lecture?
She also can't make a salient point about Gary brecker and why he's so terrible. I understand that he's not doing anything groundbreaking so why all the animosity? Because he's making easy money?
" If you have that much money to spend, anyone can move the needle for you in terms of health"... What does that even mean?
" People in Africa don't have red light beds therefore no one needs them" this is girl brain rationale. I'm still waiting for the part of the video where i learn something valuable.
Never been impressed by one of his interviews. He's trying to get in her pants rather than do a real interview
Really enjoyed this! Florida 🙌🙌
Im taking notes!
Very interesting stuff , Thanks Guys xxx
This is a fabulous podcast Danny, Your casual conversation was so easy to take in all the information. Great guest Louise really knows her stuff. Aussie aussie aussie😃
The brain tutorial was very helpful, thank you Louise.
Thanks very much for a fascinating show
Alzheimers and dementia are partially due to the shear amount of people taking statin cholesterol meds. They are toxic and cause a ton of neuro issues. If you aren't looking at statins you are not doing it right. Also, low fat diets are terrible for you. Uncontrolled blood sugar with insulin sensitivity is also a huge issue causing neurological issues. Genes also do matter and def play a role.
I love this interview but I have to highlight the blatant contradiction, in focusing on genes vs epigenetics.... If the Africans mentioned, have two genes that destine them for Alzheimer's, "yet they never get it." Possibly we should understand that lifestyle, outlook, and daily routines overshadow the outdated perspective on genes and heredity.
I feel you big time
Definitely. Genes may dictate possible outcomes but for all practical purposes possibikities for health and optimal gene expression are endless! The populace at large generally taps into so little of our potential. Incredibly motivating and positive if you ask me.
@@austinhill2468 I didn't say it wasn't positive... I've read a book by Bruce Lipton, 'Biology of Belief.' It simplifies the understanding of 'Epigenetics.' While elaborating on how much control we have of our physical health based on our outlook, habits, lifestyle, etc ... I e. Put the same genes in different environments, they all express differently.... Hence, customs, religious beliefs, ways of dealing with emotions and anxieties, stressors, all shape genetic expression.
I think tht was her point.. to a point! They should by all means be having this but they don't, so by saying tht it means there's something else at play.
@@CharlesRoby9211min 34sec mark
46:40 "and why would it do that?" is such an important question, i don't think "it's just what it does" is sufficient here, dig into that.
Amazing episode
this was good info!!
This was a really good interview. I always have a hard time following all the terms and medical information but ultimately boils down to daily exercise and a balanced diet. One thing that seems to never get brought up by doctors that I’m increasingly beginning to believe is linked, is how much your mental state also affects your body physically. With our trauma being stored in the body, it’s no wonder people manifest things like dementia. This is where mushrooms/psychedelics, meditation, yoga and many other tools can be utilized in order to release that trauma. At the very least it never hurts to have a positive outlook on yourself and your life, just food for thought. Anyways, great conversation and will do my best to apply what I’ve learned here to my daily life. 😊
In 40 years, I never heard of methylation in B vitamins, nor a methylation test from any practitioner. Thank you Dr. Nicola for making bodies and brains work right. She is honest about what she does not know.
Verrrrry impressive guest
I agree with her....Australia is great....Although , it was 1980 when I was there!
LOVE @LouisaNicola what a superb communicator & so good at debunking all the BS.
I think it was in the Netflix documentary "Fastball" where they actually say MLB hitters vision is crazy good and that is the main reason why they can hit a MLB fastball. But, they also said that science has determined a fastball going 100mph visually disappears halfway to the plate, so the hitter has to guess where it will end up and swing where they think it will be. So, the next time you see a MLB game, keep in mind almost every hitter you will see has super vision.
You should get Peter Attia on the pod for a deeper dive on cholesterol, V02 max etc
I mean.. every video here is very very interesting, but this one.. I LOVE IT.
Thanks!
Louisa is Brilliant
She makes me wanna share my deepest secrets. ❤
This is a great podcast.
That's not the Beyonce drink! Hippies have been rockin that since the 70s! 😂😂
You are phenomenal
I like this 🤝🏼
The brain knows whenever any part gets damaged and uses different connections to get things done!!.. I read one book by the age of 27 !! I'm 38 I have read over 2 thousand books !!.it took a while for me to grow up !( all I see is I'm becoming smarter ,faster ,my brain works better than ever!!.and I don't believe anything is impossible!( anything is possible) remember ,we are only energy in different frequencies!when we learned to use that ,we will be able to do anything!!
That's like a book a day for 6 years 🤣🤣🤣. Stop the 🧢.
You can tell she knows her craft
Ok mason
From Australia. 👌🏾
what a great role model ❤
Come To Vegas, we will sponsor the video with Weed Smoothies & Lemonade
Yum
Where are you located? I am on South Rainbow blvd
She is brilliant.
And beautiful 😍
Beauty with Brains. A rare sight these days.
This was good.
oh dang...my heart.
I changed nothing during covid, at the store every other day, eating drive thru. I just didn't go to work and got paid for 2 months. Was amazing. Didn't get covid
I paid attention to Australia during Covid. Definitely not the “best country in the world”
Shout out to Aussie Rambo.
Def your best looking guest Danny
Hey thanks
Having coffee and watching

We also ski...
I would like to do one of these brain scans. I'm AuAdhd. My brain is hyper sensitive. I'd be interested to know exactly what parts are effected. My assumption Is there will be an over compaction of neurons around the central processing portion responsible for pattern recognition. This is also the same portion of the brain controlling hormone patterns for day and night expanding the lake of dopamine, problem with Seasonal depression, and problem with sleep. It take us longer to Process information encoded infection but be do it much deeper. We also process visual information much faster. This is why we become easily overstimulated.
She is awesome
Ah Aussie checking in
💪
winter olympics a couple years back used the redlight bed for recovery after workouts, almost instant recuperation, won record number of events. Tony Robbins has 2 red light beds.
yes over priced, but legitimaste midochondrial stimulation.

That is opposite of the truth😂😂
It’s expensive to eat and live healthy
Running and Brain: the Brain is the biggest consumer in our body. If you go for a run, identify Birds , Plants, Tracks or stuff you could use for Bushcraft/Fishing/Hunting. If you do that you will become a very fit Einstein. 100% think about how much that would change your running routine and you awareness towards nature. DeinStamm
I am not a runner at all and it takes everything I have to run 9 to 12 miles a week in 3 mile sets, but I think of my best ideas, solve most all my problems and generally feel more cognitive during and after a run.
@@hubriswonk If I dont feel well , I do way shorter runns. I run in Bare foot shoes or sandales so also short runs work on me a lot. But, aktively using my Brain during running and scanning with my eyes really makes a difference. Tunnel vision is not a good idea in sport, or better you get a lot out of it if you do not sink in tunnel vision. It will not make your running better, but it will be a harder training for your system.
"Way back in 2016" she's so young!
shout out australia
16:30 and cricket! same thing kinda
FYI Danny: Melbourne has the biggest population of Greeks outside of Athens💪
Should do a study on mma fighters, before and after a fight.
I love these podcast especially the FBI CIA UFO stuff. That being said at 450lbs this isn't the podcast I wanted to watch but the one I NEEDED to watch. Great info
UFO podcasts and long walking trails are a great combo!
Nicotine pouches definitely helps with focus, it is why I use them. There is neuroscience to back this up. And compared to tobacco products and vaping, it is not likely to cause cancer, where as chew, cigs, vapes have well known carcinogens, and lots of them. It is however a reward pathway modulator, and thus is addictive. Quitting would be a challenge for me. If you don't want a dependency, don't take it.
The neuroscience, some studies, suggest nicotine is neuroprotective in certain conditions. And as far as the neurophysiology goes, nicotine is kind of like the opposite of a benedryl(anticholinergic). The way benedryl effects acetylcholine makes it hard to move the body, nicotine makes it a little easier to move, because it has an opposite effect on acetylcholine(agonist/excitatory). This of course is compounded due to the release of dopamine.
Nicotine is vasoconstrictive but this effect usually goes away within approximately 12-24 hours after last use.
Anyways, I love neurophysiology, please bring back more interviewees like her. You both are awesome and I for one appreciate these types of discussions!
Chronic use will rot your gums and give you cancer of the soft tissues, its seen it snuff and chewing tobacco users.
🔥😢 I’m confused about creatine . Every single doctor in my country advises against creatine ….
I'm skinny and my glucose levels don't spike after a bowl of ice cream. I've never been able to put on weight, don't do lots of exercise, eat loads of meat and carbs. Had tests for diabetes, thyroid etc. anything my doctor could think of that would be responsible for me not putting on weight. My glucose level with a blood test was around 4, and barely went above 4.5 after eating a kilogram of ice cream. When I was 20, doc said I'd start filling out when I was 30, when 30 he said I'd fill out at 40, at 40 said I'd start filling out at 50. Now 50's and still the same weight I was when I was 18. Never sick though, and never taken any medication or tablets ever in my life, other than the odd paracetamol once in a blue moon.
Wow! Ideal would to lift weights/go to the gym four times per week. And about the same amount of aerobic exercise? Some researches talk for hiit sprints (David Sinclair). Perhaps I try to go to gym four times, do twice some kind of sprints, walk other days, and have one day for relativ rest. I am 60 years old woman with no joint problems. My vo2max is 35-38.
I'm behind @louisanicola 100% on concussive sports, especially for children. This society can be barbaric at times. Too often.
No one should hate you or hate to hear that you love your country.
I have a torn retna in one eye. Its right in the middle where its hard to see. I wonder if the goggles she was talking about would help me train that eye and maybe see better.
42:35 sounded like someone ripped ass in the background 😂😂😂😂
She is absolutely stunning. And easy to listen to.
Who made that sick intro animation?
All about the calcium channels baby
Challenge series, ice bath quiz
I don’t agree with “ too late” for some. Some can either reverse or largely improve their condition. Diet is largely involved
