Save Your Brain with Omega-3

November 01, 2021 04:00 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MB

If you take a trip to the grocery store, you'll find that the most popular foods are the ones that come in a package (chips, cookies, cereals, etc.). With the wide use of industrially processed seed oils, these foods are very high in Omega-6s and essentially depleted of Omega-3s.  This shift from whole foods to processed foods has created a sharp increase in chronic illness over the years. In today's episode, we talk about how Omega-3s are crucial for: Cognitive functioning Mental health  ...

Take Your Workout to the Next Level with Beet Juice

October 25, 2021 04:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MB

Upon entering your local gym, you are likely welcomed by an overly-enthusiastic employee along with a fridge full of energy drinks, promising to take your workout to the next level. But one pre-workout drink that doesn't get enough attention is beet juice (a.k.a beetroot juice). Yep, the nectar from that root vegetable that no one really enjoys. Some people refer to it as "nature's Viagra" due to the way it increases blood flow. Whether you're looking to increase performance in the gym or ...

She has been interviewed as a mental health expert in Forbes, consulted for major companies like Orb Health, designed the integrativ...

The COVID Pill

October 11, 2021 04:00 - 41 minutes - 28.3 MB

In the race to end the pandemic, pharmaceutical companies have been working on therapeutics to reduce the risk of hospitalizations and death from COVID-19. One of those companies, Merck, just recently announced an oral antiviral drug that supposedly reduces the risk of hospitalization and death by approximately 50% compared to placebo patients. While Merk pursues Emergency Use Authorization for their drug, Molnupiravir, we provide a breakdown of the history of this drug, how it came to be, ...

How Food Impacts Your Mental Health

October 04, 2021 04:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MB

The topics of nutrition and mental health independently get a lot of attention, but rarely do we hear about how those two are linked. We don't often talk about the food we eat impacts our mental health, despite the strong connection between the two. In today's episode, we dive into the world of Nutritional Psychiatry by looking at how diet directly impacts the brain.  Subscribe to the Health Hackd Newsletter Rate the show on Apple Podcast Follow along on Instagram Try the cleanest, most e...

How Exercise Influences Your Ability to Burn Fat and Carbs (with Ryan Baxter)

September 27, 2021 04:00 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MB

When it comes to burning fat, most people depend primarily on a low-carb/ketogenic diet. And while diet certainly serves an important role in metabolic flexibility, one major factor in our ability to burn fat vs. carbs is exercise. Exercise plays a big part in how metabolically flexible we are. And although it may seem that the more we exercise, the more fat we'll burn, it's not that simple. In fact, exercise can also make us metabolically INflexible! In other words, too much exercise can ...

The Misconceptions of a Low-Carb Diet

September 20, 2021 04:00 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MB

With more than 2 in 3 adults being overweight in the U.S., people are always looking for a fast way to lose weight. In recent years, a low-carb diet (or a Keto diet) has been touted as the best way to healthily manage weight and improve metabolism. This is often referred to as the "Carbohydrate-Insulin Model" of weight loss. In this episode, we break down some of the issues (as well as the merits) of this philosophy on weight loss, and compare that to the more traditional "Calories-In, Calo...

Take a Break: A Case for More Rest

September 13, 2021 04:00 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MB

Contrary to what many Boomers believe, not all youngsters today are lazy. In fact, there are many people who struggle to relax at all because they feel that it is a waste of time. Whether this belief came from disappointed parents, or from binging too many Gary Vee videos on "hustling", that is still unclear.  But what has become more clear is the detriment this mindset may have on mental health.  Today, we talk about the importance of rest on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. If ...

COVID: Natural Immunity vs. Vaccine-Induced Immunity

September 06, 2021 04:00 - 39 minutes - 27.5 MB

There has been a lot of debate around the immunity induced from vaccination versus immunity induced from prior infection (i.e. "natural immunity"). With the recent Delta surge, there has been a lot of conversation around breakthrough cases and reinfections. Until now, we didn't have a lot of data on the effectiveness of natural immunity vs. vaccine-induced immunity. A recent study from Isreal (covering 26% of the population) compared the long-term protection conferred by previous infection ...

How to Maximize Muscle Gain

August 30, 2021 04:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MB

Fitness enthusiasts are always looking for ways to get stronger or look bigger (or maybe a little bit of both).  And with the number of strategies and snake oil supplements claiming to optimize muscle gains (i.e. hypertrophy), it can be quite difficult to figure out where to begin. A recent study published in the International Journal of Strength and Conditioning compiled guidelines for maximizing muscle hypertrophy in athletes based on the existing body of evidence in this field.  In this...

The Problem with Nutrition Research

August 19, 2021 10:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

If you've ever spent any time reading the headlines to health news, or listening to wellness podcasts, or reading books on nutrition, then you understand the amount of confusing and conflicting information around nutrition. Eggs are bad for you one week, then they're good for you the next week. Meat will give you heart disease today, then you should eat only meat tomorrow.  Fasting is good for you, then it's bad for you. It's very frustrating, especially for those trying to better themselv...

Microplastics in Food

August 16, 2021 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MB

There's been a lot of talk about the negative impact of plastic on our environment, with most of that discussion centering around ocean life.  But a lesser-known impact of plastic overuse is the daily human consumption of microplastics. With plastics being used in the majority of household items, especially when it comes to food storage, humans consume a decent amount of plastic every day. In this episode, we're going to dive into: The prevalence of plastics in our food and drinks How pla...

The Gut Microbiome Explained

August 09, 2021 04:00 - 40 minutes - 28.2 MB

Most people have a basic understanding of the systems in our body...the immune system, the nervous system, the reproductive system, the digestive system, etc.  But there is one, lesser-known part of our body that influences nearly every one of these systems. And that is the Gut Microbiome. The Gut Microbiome has been a buzzword lately, yet most of us don't really understand what that means. So today we're doing Gut Microbiome 101: What Is the Gut Microbiome? What and How Does it Influence...

What Is In Your Drinking Water?

August 02, 2021 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

Unless you're an alien, you probably drink water every day. When we're thirsty, most of us just fill up our cups at the nearest tap to rehydrate.

July 19, 2021 04:00 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MB

Supplements (and multi-vitamins in particular) are a very profitable industry.  And like food marketing, the marketing of supplements makes them very attractive.  Approximately 50% of people take some sort of multi-vitamin.  But is this cost actually worth it? Do they live up to the claims? Today we'll be diving into: When does it make sense to supplement? What vitamins and minerals should we be supplementing? What are the best sources of those vitamins and minerals? Do multi-vitamins ac...

We're back again with another controversial nutrition topic: GMO Foods. GMO stands for "Genetically Modified Organism" and much of our food today has been genetically modified (for many reasons).

Are GMO foods safe to consume? What about herbicides like glyphosate (i.e. Roundup)? Is organic food any better?...

Is Grass-Fed Beef Actually Better?

June 21, 2021 04:00 - 36 minutes - 25.3 MB

Grass-fed beef has generally been praised as being nutritionally superior to conventionally-raised, grain-fed beef.  Advocates of grass-fed beef claim that it has a better nutrient profile, particularly, a better fatty-acid profile (Omega-3 vs. Omega-6). In this episode, we dive into a recent study that examined the nutritional components of grass-fed beef to see if it actually lives up to the hype.  Subscribe to the HealthHackd Newsletter Rate the show on Apple Podcast Follow along on In...
