Mindsip insights from this episode:
Advocate for hormone replacement therapy to enhance women's health
Hormone replacement therapy significantly improves women's health and longevity, but 80% of doctors don't prescribe it due to a single, flawed study that misrepresented its own data on cancer risk.
Test Lipoprotein A and ApoB for accurate heart disease risk assessment
For a true picture of heart disease risk, you should test your Lipoprotein A (Lp(a)) and ApoB levels, which are more powerful predictors than a standard cholesterol panel.
Delay cord clamping to enhance brain myelination
Delaying umbilical cord clamping for just one to two minutes allows for a transfer of blood, stem cells, and antibodies that improves brain myelination years later.
Challenge peanut allergy dogma to reduce risk
The American peanut allergy epidemic was ignited by incorrect medical advice to avoid peanuts in early life, a dogma that actually increases allergy risk eightfold.
Avoid early antibiotics to reduce chronic disease risk
A Mayo Clinic study found that children who received antibiotics in their first two years of life had significantly higher rates of obesity, asthma, and celiac disease.
Understand C-section impact on baby's microbiome
A baby born via C-section is extracted from a sterile field, and their microbiome is often seeded by bacteria living in the hospital rather than from the mother's birth canal.
Swab C-section babies with vaginal fluid to enhance microbiome health
To promote a healthy microbiome, Mount Sinai hospital has a protocol where they swab a mother's vaginal fluid onto the skin of her baby if born by C-section.
Uncover suppressed findings on low-fat diet and heart attack risk
The Minnesota Heart Study, which found that a low-fat diet led to more fatal heart attacks, went unpublished for 16 years because researchers were 'disappointed' with the results.
Implement skin-to-skin contact to stabilize newborn's blood sugar
Immediate skin-to-skin contact between a mother and her newborn helps normalize the baby's blood sugar by reducing the infant's stress hormone spikes.
