Dr. Tommy Wood And Sensible Healthy Living Suggestions

It’s time for a rebroadcast of Dr. Tommy Wood content! I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Tommy—he gives so much sensible, easy to understand health information, is an accomplished physician, researcher, and former head of the Ancestral Physicians Society—and in this episode, you will hear sensible and practical health tips from Dr. Tommy (as well as some of the science behind them) to help you optimize your sleep, stress management, diet, and exercise habits.  Enjoy the show!   TIMESTAMPS: This rebroadcast is with Dr. Tommy Wood who is an expert in Ancestral health. [00:46] Dr. Tommy’s current job is in research neonatal brain injury as well as studying the fact that 80 to 90 percent of Western population has the beginnings of metabolic disease. [05:35] The majority of people are aware of the information that is out there for better health practices, but just don’t do anything about it. [07:05] It is very difficult for people to make a change even when they know the facts. How can we initiate change toward a healthier population? [10:04] What have we learned from the extreme edge of the pursuit of optimal health? [14:06] When Brad was doing keto, he was fasting and realized he still wasn’t as fit as he wanted to be.  Tommy’s advise was to eat more food. [17:59] Caloric restriction does work in terms of longevity and across multiple species, but it is not universal. [24:23] If you are struggling to reduce excess body fat, advice is to get metabolically healthy first before restricting carbohydrates. [29:55] Do EMFs have a biological effect on our mitochondria? [32:20] Cell phone in your pocket lowers sperm count. [35:30] How does a person get motivated? [37:52] After a serious bite injury from a venomous snake, Tommy’s recovery took a long time. Months passed before he could get back to his fitness regimen. [39:34] When people take supplements in hopes of enhancing longevity, how do they know if it is making a difference? What do the blood tests really say? [46:09] About 80 percent of people in the US have at least one of the markers of metabolic syndrome. Testosterone levels vary with age and health issues. [52:32] The Carnivore premise makes a lot of sense but there are some questions that arise. [59:20] We have built an environment that completely removes our ability to adapt. [01:04:08] If you have no autoimmune or inflammatory conditions and want to optimize longevity, what kind of foods should you be looking for? [01:10:04] There is no right answer as to the diet. Everyone is different and basically the scientists cannot tell you. Just get off the junk food.  [01:16:30] Eat food that looks like food.
