Let's Get Into the Weeds
by Kim BoardHow and Why You May Want To Lower BPA Exposure
BPA is considered food-safe by US regulating authorities, because it is very quickly eliminated from our bodies. However, research is now beginning to uncover the damage it does on the way through. For this episode, I turned my AI research assistants' attention toward the toxicoepigenetics of BPA, and the hormone disruption it causes.Precision Nutrion for Alzheimer's Risk?
AI delves into research around the genetics and epigenetics of Alzheimer's risk factor gene APOE E4, and suggests some possible targeted nutritional supports that have returned positive results during trials. Might krill oil and curcumin protect against Alzheimer's?Targeted Nutrition for Menopause
Research is indicating that a Mediterranean-style diet may help ease menopause symptoms.Fixing the Male Biological Blueprint
I asked AI for peer reviewed articles around the genetics of SRY, declining testosterone levels, and possible nutritional assistance. Turns out, our western lifestyle may be more to blame. Nothing in this video should be construed as medical diagnosis, advice or prescription.How Gut Bacteria Recycle Your Estrogen
How a healthy gut microbiome may help protect women from some discomforts of menopause.Lactose Intolerance: Hacking the Gut Biome
Did you know lactose intolerance is actually the norm? What's going on with that, and how hacking your gut biome might be a good solution.Research is beginning to suggest that a gluten-free diet alone may not be the full answer to celiac disease. What celiac disease is, how it works, and why it's much more invasive than most folks ever imagined. Alcohol Rewrites Your Brain's DNA
I'm not trying to be for or against alcohol consumption. This drug is just super interesting. I've intentionally focused my AI inquiries around the metabolism and epigenetics of use. However, addiction is such a hot topic - it bleeds in a little bit, so far, regardless of how I edit the prompt! This is a thing with AI, right? It guesses what you mean by your prompt, then attempts a reasonable response. There is some really interesting stuff near the end about how social pressure causes people to ignore straight-up illness to still consume.How Sleep and Caffeine Hijack Your Brain
Are you a night owl living in an early bird world? Or perhaps a morning lark working 3rd? How your circadian rhythm works, how sleep, melatonin and caffeine hack that cycle. Includes a great rabbit trail about how sleep evolved, and why we need it.How Gut Bacteria Silence Your Fat Genes
In this one, my AI characters really dig into research, and use more scientific terms in their conversation. They've also given themselves jobs. I am a certified genomic nutritionist. My AI does not have clients, an office or research lab. No actual genetic counselors or research scientists were brought in during the recording of this podcast. However, I get much better answers to my queries when they "speak as" such people.
