Mindsip insights from this episode:
Address nutritional deficiencies even in fit individuals
Despite a healthy lifestyle, even someone as fit as Dwayne Johnson had common nutritional deficiencies like low vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium, and folate.
Access fast, affordable full-body MRIs for annual cancer screening
New technology allows for a full-body MRI cancer screening in just 22 minutes for around $499, making annual screening more accessible.
Utilize pTau217 blood test to assess Alzheimer's risk non-invasively
A blood test called pTau217 can detect proteins related to Alzheimer's disease, offering a non-invasive way to assess risk when combined with ApoE genetic testing.
Leverage ApoE2 gene for enhanced longevity
The ApoE2 gene variant is considered a 'jackpot gene' associated with a longer lifespan, offering some protection against age-related diseases.
Prioritize ApoB test for accurate heart disease risk assessment
The ApoB test is a better indicator of heart disease risk than a standard cholesterol panel because it measures all the dangerous cholesterol particles driven by sugar and starch.
Utilize advanced AI scans to avoid unnecessary medication
An advanced AI-powered heart scan revealed a suspected plaque buildup was just an anatomical variation, preventing the need for lifelong medication.
Rebuild gut health with Akkermansia and targeted probiotics
Gut issues can be resolved by rebuilding specific bacteria like Akkermansia, which protects the gut lining, using probiotics and plant chemicals from pomegranate, green tea, and cranberry.
Trust personal biometric data over health gurus
In a world full of health gurus and influencers, personal biometric data is the only factual, non-noise source to inform how you move forward with your health.
