Guest: Dr. Robert Wolfe
Dr. Wolfe’s went to college at UC Berkeley, where he was a 3-sport varsity athlete, playing basketball, track, and golf. After college, Dr. Wolfe went back to school for his PhD which led to a career in clinical research. The focus of Dr. Wolfe’s research is on the regulation of muscle metabolism, particularly as affected by aging and stressors such as injury, sepsis and cancer. His research has been performed largely in human patients and normal volunteers. Dr. Wolfe has developed models using stable isotopes to quantify a variety of metabolic processes in human subjects including the oxidation and production of fatty acids, various aspects of carbohydrate metabolism, and the rates of muscle protein synthesis, breakdown, and the transport of amino acids between blood and muscle tissue. Dr. Wolfe served as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School for nine years, and is currently the Director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the Reynolds Institute on Aging in Little Rock, Arkansas. He has published over 500 peer-reviewed research articles, three books, and holds many active patents. Dr. Wolfe is a co-founder of The Amino Company, which was formed to bring his patented amino acid formulas, developed over 40 years of clinical research, to the public.
Summary
Dr. Robert Wolf discusses the importance of protein and amino acids in the diet, the differences between animal and plant protein, and the recommended daily protein intake. He also explains the benefits of amino acid supplementation for specific conditions and the importance of balanced amino acid formulations. Dr. Wolf emphasizes the role of amino acids in liver health and detoxification, particularly the benefits of histidine. Overall, amino acids play a crucial role in maintaining optimal health and function. In this conversation, Bob Wolfe discusses the role of amino acids in liver health, specifically in the context of fatty liver disease. He explains that fatty liver disease is not solely caused by alcoholism, but is also common in individuals with obesity. Wolfe's research has shown that reducing methionine and increasing other amino acids can effectively reduce liver fat. Additionally, he mentions the potential anti-inflammatory effects of amino acids and the importance of routine dosing and timing for optimal results.
Takeaways
Protein is essential for optimal health and function, and amino acids are the building blocks of protein.
Animal protein is generally more easily digested and absorbed than plant protein, but plant-based proteins can be combined to meet nutritional requirements.
A high protein intake, above the recommended daily amount, can have numerous health benefits and is well within dietary guidelines.
Amino acid supplementation can provide additional benefits beyond what can be achieved with dietary protein alone.
Amino acids play a crucial role in liver health and detoxification, and histidine is particularly important in reducing liver fat and inflammation.

Guest: Catherine Arnston
Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking).
As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born.
It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae. Your body and Mother Earth say thank you. And we do too.

Summary
Catharine Arnston discusses the benefits of algae and its role in promoting health and well-being. She shares her personal journey of discovering algae and its impact on her sister's health. The conversation covers topics such as the importance of an alkaline diet, the history and evolution of algae, and the production process of high-quality algae. Arnston emphasizes the nutritional value of algae and its ability to support mitochondrial health. This conversation explores the benefits and properties of algae, specifically spirulina and chlorella. The chapters cover topics such as the growth of algae, the importance of drying algae at low temperatures, the role of superoxide dismutase in algae, the benefits of phycocyanin in spirulina, the process of cracking the chlorella cell wall, the concept of algae as nutritional and health insurance, the importance of cellular energy and mitochondria, the role of chlorophyll in algae, the detoxing effects of chlorella, and the differences between spirulina and chlorella. The conversation emphasizes the importance of algae in providing essential nutrients and supporting overall health and well-being. In this conversation, Catharine Arnston discusses the importance of protecting mitochondrial DNA and the role of algae in achieving this. She explains that mitochondria produce ATP and free radicals as byproducts, which can damage mitochondria DNA. The damage to mitochondria leads to reduced cellular energy and contributes to various chronic diseases. Arnston emphasizes the need to reduce free radicals and remove them from the body. She highlights the importance of superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant found in algae, in neutralizing free radicals and protecting mitochondria. Arnston shares her personal experience and recommends algae as a natural and effective way to protect mitochondrial health.

Guest: Lewis Moon
Lewis Moon is a Mineral Balancing Practitioner & Hair Mineral Analysis App Developer.
I have a diploma in Nutritional Balancing Science and a bachelor's degree with honors in Landscape Architecture.
In 2004 I started feeling detached from reality, with 24/7 brain fog, DP/DR, terrible social anxiety, racing mind, skin problems and over 30 other symptoms.
In 2011 I came across an article by Dr Lawrence Wilson on brain fog and this is where my Mineral Balancing journey started. Little did I realize how sick and burned out I was.
Through HTMA I discovered and healed extreme adrenal burnout, chronic fight or flight, severe copper toxicity, toxic metal issues, severe liver damage from accutane and many more debilitating problems.
In 2015 I became a practitioner under Dr L Wilson until 2020 where I realized the complexity of Mineral Balancing and HTMA and how building a piece of software to analyze the tests would be very helpful for practitioners and individuals in the space.
This is where Hair Analysis App - www.hairanalysis.report was born. Used by hundreds of practitioners the app is able to generate highly detailed HTMA reports, supplement regimes and healing reports in order to aid a practitioners analysis of clients.
I currently spend most of my days improving the software and I work with a small group of clients to improve their health through Hair Analysis and Mineral Balancing.
You can find me on YouTube under the channel Life Labs HTMA.

Guest: Andy Hnilo
THE JOURNEY
I woke up in a hospital bed on the night of March 20th, 2011. I had been struck by a series of large vehicles while crossing a busy street. I had a collapsed lung, seven broken ribs and a severe compound fracture of my jaw, which was broken in five places. Out of desperation to repair my own facial scarring, I began making my own natural skincare products at home.
I recognized that I had the power to choose how this would impact my future and accepted that I would have to pave my own path towards rebuilding both my body and my spirit. I was determined to recover and come back even stronger, attacking my injuries both from the inside and outside.
Our nutrition-first approach amplifies our natural ability to repair and restore. Through meticulous research, I carefully sourced active ingredients that would accelerate my skin's healing process, using myself as my biggest science experiment. I was back on a runway in 8 weeks.
Staying true to my own values, our customers can feel assured that Alitura is committed to using only the cleanest all-natural ingredients in our products. I am proud and excited to share our products with you.
