Brain-Body Breakthroughs – Cure Aging or Die Trying: An interview with Dr. William Andrews

How would you react if your dad told you during your teenage years to do something significant like find the cure for aging? Well, that is exactly what my guest today was told as a young boy. And he never forgot it!

Seem unlikely? You wont feel that way after you hear what he has to say. Dr. Andrews views aging just as any other disease. He tells you why he feels that way and has data to back him up. The Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 2009 was awarded for work done on telomere [http://www.sierrasci.com/telomere/index.html]biology. This is the same field we will be discussing today. You’ll soon see why it has the potential to turn back the hands of time as well as cure cancer and a host of other chronic diseases. You’ll even hear how the ability to lengthen telomeres might enable AIDs patients to live normal lives. Sound too good to be true? Only if you’ve never heard Bill Andrews [http://www.sierrasci.com/staff/bill.html]explain how close he is to solving these difficult problems.

We all know how much oil is consumed in the production and transportation of food to our table.

Brain-Body Breakthroughs – How to balance your Tai and Qi: An interview with Dr. Lorene Wu

I watched a recent video from the Onion News Network [http://www.theonion.com/video/social-security-reform-bill-encourages-americans-t,21006/]that promoted a tongue-in-cheek way to keep social security solvent. It outlined an approach that encouraged Americans to live faster and die younger. It cut taxes on cigarettes, outlawed helmets and encouraged sleep only “when dead.” In place of senior citizen’s checks, vouchers were handed out for grain alcohol and hang gliding. The goal was to cut health costs by shortening lifespan by 15-20 years.

She is an MD who is board-certified in Family Medicine and is also a Diplomate of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. She describes how you can lead a truly “balanced” life and benefit from the best of both medical worlds. You will be thoughtfully walked through the ins and outs of Eastern medical philosophies, learn how they complement our Western medical approach and how and when to choose one over the other in a manner that best suits your mind and body. She founded The Whole Life Center [http://www.thewholelifecenter.org/]in the Chicago area and will change how you think about medicine and life. Please join us!

Brain-Body Breakthroughs – Get smart with exercise! An interview with Dr. Arthur Kramer

If you want to lose weight, stay healthy and protect your heart, exercise is a dose of just what the doctor ordered. However, it may be one of the best things for your brain if you want to think more clearly, learn faster, prevent Alzheimer’s disease and age more gracefully. My guest, Arthur Kramer [http://www.beckman.illinois.edu/directory/a-kramer], Ph. D., Director of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology [http://www.beckman.illinois.edu/about/index.aspx] at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign tells how his interest in science and jock-like activities conspired to propel him into a career as a distinguished scientist who speinfocializes in cognition and brain plasticity. Subscribe with your favorite podcast player Android [https://subscribeonandroid.com/webtalkradio.net/internet-talk-radio/category/podcasts/Former Shows & Episodes/brain-body-breakthroughs/feed]RSS [https://webtalkradio.net/internet-talk-radio/category/podcasts-not-used/brain-body-breakthroughs/feed] Brain plasticity was recently popularized by Norman Doidge in his book The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science [http://www.amazon.com/Brain-That-Changes-Itself-Frontiers/dp/0143113100/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307663432&sr=1-3]. While much has been said of neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to re-wire itself on the fly) and its ability to help heal from stokes, head trauma and even Alzheimer’s disease, there have been painfully few therapeutic interventions designed to use it in a meaningful fashion. In this episode of Brain-Body Breakthroughs Dr. Kramer reveals how certain types of exercise can literally revitalize brain structure and function. He discusses startling new findings illustrating how exercise can turn back the clock on brain aging, especially involving the frontal lobes where executive functions such as working memory are located. He’ll tell us what to do if we want to make that memory center called the hippocampus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampus] bigger and better and how to learn faster at any age. And he’ll provide insight into tools that work effectively on refurbishing brain skills whether you’re 20 or 70. The post Brain-Body Breakthroughs – Get smart with exercise!

Brain-Body Breakthroughs – The Rogue Nutritionist: An Interview with Jonny Bowden, Ph. D.

It can be pretty easy to lose weight … the same 15 pounds, over and over again. Just like it’s easy to stop smoking. As Jonny’s dad said, “I’ve done it 20 times!” Subscribe with your favorite podcast player Android [https://subscribeonandroid.com/webtalkradio.net/internet-talk-radio/category/podcasts/Former Shows & Episodes/brain-body-breakthroughs/feed]RSS [https://webtalkradio.net/internet-talk-radio/category/podcasts-not-used/brain-body-breakthroughs/feed] Once you’ve lost the weight, the difficult part is keeping it off. Dr. Jonny Bowden [http://www.jonnybowden.com/]believes the secret to weight-loss success lies between your ears. We all know what is good food, how much to eat and what to avoid. The hard part is doing the right things consistently, day in and day out, especially when we are constantly being bombarded with eating triggers on TV, on line and in magazines and newspapers. The food manufacturers know what we crave and they package it appealingly and market it with billion dollar marketing budgets. So, what can we do to fight back? Jonny tells us in his new program Unleash Your Thin [http://naturalhealthsherpa.com/unleash/video/webinar-replay/5109]where he discusses how the messaging we are bombarded with literally rewires our brains and makes it almost impossible to resist. The secret is knowing how to bullet proof our minds and achieve the slim self we all desire. To hear about the 150 healthiest foods on earth and how to navigate our toxic food environment, please join me for a rollicking interview with Jonny Bowden.
