Optimizing Health with Dr. John Lewis: The Power of Nutrition, Polysaccharides, and Exercise

In this episode of REJUVENAGING with Dr. Ron Kaiser, Dr. John Lewis joins Dr. Ron to delve into the integral role of nutrition, exercise, and dietary supplements in enhancing human health. With a rich background as an associate professor and a principal investigator of numerous studies at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Dr. Lewis shares his journey from academia to launching a science-based business focused on nutritional supplements. His work primarily explores the impact of polysaccharides—complex sugars derived from plants like aloe vera and rice bran—on cognitive functions and overall health.

Dr. Lewis explains his rigorous research, which led to significant findings in the improvement of cognitive functions in Alzheimer's patients through dietary supplementation, surpassing the outcomes from conventional medications. He passionately argues for the necessity of supplements in today’s diet, especially those that cannot be sufficiently obtained from food alone, such as certain polysaccharides. Additionally, Dr. Lewis emphasizes a whole food, plant-based diet and discusses the transformative power of strength training alongside cardiovascular exercises to maintain physical and cognitive health.

The conversation also covers the challenges of securing funding for research and the broader implications of his studies on Alzheimer's, highlighting the potential of polysaccharides in both preventing and addressing neurodegeneration. Dr. Lewis offers practical advice for incorporating effective nutritional strategies into daily life, advocating for a diet rich in diverse plant-based foods and critical supplements to optimize health at any age.
