Stephen Kavanagh is a marine biologist who has worked in every aspect of the oyster industry, from oyster nurseries through to farmers markets, and now the food supplement industry. He is as passionate about marine conservation as he is about the nutritional importance of oysters to human health. This makes for a fascinating conversation, ranging from woolly mammoths to antioxidants to oyster and kelp restoration projects.

Gilian Crowther is a Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath specialising in complex multisystem disorders, and today brings her expertise in working with Kryptopyrroluria (KPU).  Gilian explains what KPU is, and the various impacts it can have, especially within the mitochondria. We then look a little deeper at some of the nutrients potentially affected, such as zinc, manganese and B6, the various functions haem plays, and some new insights into copper. Gilian also shares some useful considerations around testing and putting protocols together.

Justine Stenger of BodyBio specialises in mitochondria medicine, phospholipids and fatty acids, and today's topic is Restoring Cellular Health with Phospholipid and Fatty Acid Therapy. Justine provides insights into mitochondrial function and health that bridge biochemistry and quantum physics, and then grounds that in practical ways to support the body's vitality and flow.   We discuss the different types of phospholipids and essential fatty acids and the various roles they play,  alongside the way we absorb and produce light, the electrical nature of the body, and the people who have inspired Justine's fascination with membranes.

Adriano dos Santos is a Functional Registered Nutritionist who focuses on nutritional therapy for patients with metabolic syndrome, particularly those suffering from digestive issues and sleep disturbances.  For Adriano, the fundamentals start with sleep, and he is on a quest to help people improve the quality of their night time rest. In doing so, he takes the gut-mind connection several steps further with his research on how light impacts the gut microbiota and, in turn, impacts sleep. Adriano shares with us some of the insights he’s learnt from his research, and how he’s translating that to help his clients in practice. This takes the conversation from chronotypes and peripheral clocks, to when to eat dinner, and how to support the gut microbiota. Both Adriano and his research are buzzing with possibility, and it’s exciting to see where his research will take us. Adriano joins us again at the virtual IHCAN Conference in June, with his talk ‘Darkness of Light Exposure: Light, Circadian Rhythms, and Microbiota for Chronic Disease Management’ - for more information, and to book your ticket, visit https://www.ihcanconferences.co.uk/june-2025/ [https://www.ihcanconferences.co.uk/june-2025/] This podcast is sponsored by Nutri Advanced.
