EPISODE 9

Brain on Fire: Achieving Optimal Functionality in a Toxic World

  • The brain is uniquely susceptible to stressors in the environment. Dr. Bob Naviaux, the scientist that coined the term “Cell Danger Response”, states that the brain cells are like immune cells when they are influenced by toxins, microbes, and other irritants. They turn on defensive mechanisms and turn off normal energy production and therefore function.
  • Being a fatty organ, the brain needs lots of lipids to function optimally. At the same time, it needs adequate fat soluble antioxidants to keep it stable. Michael Nelson discusses the optimal balance of both for peak brain function.
  • Because the olfactory network has no protective mechanism, chemicals that are “smelled” or taken in through olfactory nerves can cause direct damage to the brain cells.

The Microbiome

  • Your “gut” is your GATEWAY to health. Discover why today! Imagine your body as a tiny universe, teeming with life – not just human life, but trillions of microscopic neighbors known as the microbiome. These neighbors are mostly bacteria, but there are also fungi, viruses, and even some archaea (ancient microbes!). They form a vast and diverse community that plays a crucial role in your health. Your microbiome thrives on diversity, with different microbes performing different jobs. Some help digest food, others build your immune system, and some even produce vitamins and hormones. Join us to explore how a healthy microbiome supports digestion, immunity, brain function, and even your mood. Discover fermented foods, and prebiotics, you how to support the growth of beneficial microbes in your gut.

Her life dramatically changed when she was diagnosed with a string of autoimmune diseases in her 30s – lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis – and told that her RA and Hashimoto’s could only be managed with strong immunosuppressants, while her lupus had no treatment or cure. On a quest to heal herself, she trained at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in NYC and became a health coach, as well as helping scientists at top-tier European universities find funding for their ground-breaking discoveries. On this exciting career path a little-known age-defying molecule, spermidine, was brought to her attention by a University of Oxford scientist, and the rest is history. This led to her bringing spermidine to market in supplement form as Oxford Healthspan’s first product, and starting the non-profit, Oxford Longevity Project, to educate the public on the latest breakthroughs in longevity.

Dr. Olga Stevko

MD, Trauma Transformation Expert
Dr. Olga Stevko, MD (Russia) has created a unique and powerful methodology that allows her to identify and transform unconscious programs which are caused by stressful life events and trauma, including trauma passed down genetically as transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. These programs affect nervous system responses that impact both body and mind, and this phenomenon creates a wide variety of physiological, physical, mental, and emotional conditions—from insomnia and anxiety to health issues, premature aging and struggles with communication. Transforming unconscious programs will change how the nervous system reacts to everything that triggers flight, fight and freeze responses, and how people look, think, feel, react, and behave. This methodology is extraordinarily effective, and produces fast, permanent, and life-changing results.
