On an April 2024 episode of The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett, Gary discussed a host of interesting biohacking and healthspan ideas, including his daily routine.
The carnivore diet focuses on consuming primarily animal products, emphasising the high intake of wild game or pasture-raised meats while largely excluding plant-based foods. This diet has garnered attention for its potential health benefits, such as improved well-being and satisfaction, but also raises concerns about nutrient deficiencies in areas typically covered by plant foods, like vitamin C and magnesium. To counter these deficiencies, adherents often supplement with vitamins B12, D, and omega-3 fatty acids. While the diet may positively impact metabolic health and diabetes management, it also carries risks related to increased consumption of red meat and its potential effects on cardiovascular health.
It takes 10-15 years or prediabetes before clinical Type 2 diabetes is typically diagnosed. That is to say, it takes years of overconsumption of simple carbs, processed foods combined with a high stress (sympathetic-dominant) lifestyle. It's a long process with plenty of time to intervene using something as simple as 410mg of magnesium a day, before the body (and mind) break down irreversibly.
Adequate magnesium intake is essential for maintaining healthy vitamin D levels, supporting over 300 enzymatic reactions, and preventing a range of health issues, yet nearly half of the population does not meet the recommended daily allowance and many are in need of replenishment therapy.
Cordycepin is a bioactive compound found in Cordyceps, one of the most well know medicinal mushrooms today. It has been studied extensively for its immunomodulatory effects. Here are some significant findings from recent research.
Certain foods and supplements can aid in quickly lowering blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity, delaying carbohydrate absorption, or directly impacting glycaemic control.
Layer Origin PureHMO® Prebiotic Powder and SuperHMO® 5-Strain Prebiotic Powder are the two absolute powerhouses! Both powders are easy to incorporate into your daily routine, and the benefits are unparalleled.
Let's take a look distinguishes the SuperHMO® from the original PureHMO®.
The gut microbiome impacts our physical and mental health. Layer Origin Gut Reset Protocol is designed to not only alleviate gut issues but to also heal the gut over time, reducing inflammation throughout the body. Leveraging the synergistic effects of three specific ingredients Human Milk Olligosaccharides (HMOs), Red Polyphenols and Apple Peel powder, Gut Reset Protocol can benefit almost anyone regardless of their current gut health status.
Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) are a class of prebiotics that feed and boost beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Akkermansia. Recently HMOs have been studied for their potential benefits to adult health, including their impact on gut health, immune function, cognitive functions, protection against pathogens, metabolic health, and anti-inflammatory effects.
