Episode 8: Move Naturally with Erwan Le Corre

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine" This is the podcast that explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness. Movement is one of the pillars of increasing one's healthspan, which ultimately will secure happiness and longevity in a lifespan. There are several ways to become healthier through movement, like going to the gym, lifting weights, playing a sport,  doing yoga, etc. Yet, not everybody knows the functionality exercise brings to our bodies; sure, we can lose weight and build muscle, but the real meaning of movement is to secure survival; after all, humans beings are animals, and through thousands of years of evolution our bodies have been equipped to respond to danger and adapt to nature. The body needs to move the way it is designed; otherwise, it breaks down. The loss of a healthy upright posture is the most visible effect of aging. Until you reconnect with your body’s natural movement abilities – everything from getting out of bed to moving furniture to play with your children feels different. You will be astonished at how your body responds to practicing its natural movements. But what is a "natural movement"? In today's show, my guest Erwan Le Corre explains how walking, running, balancing, crawling, jumping, climbing, and swimming are the most efficient ways the body can become fit again, more capable in the real world, and most importantly, become confident in your own body. Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat, a physical education system and lifestyle principles that explores the body’s full range of motion and agility. It is a complete and immersive experience with the natural world that allows gaining the skills, strength, and conditioning essential to adapt and perform in any environment. Erwan has more than 30 years of knowledge in disciplines such as karate, parkour-like training, barefoot running, sailing, Olympic weightlifting, rock climbing, long-distance triathlon, trail running, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Since 2004 he has been studying the benefits of all the natural movements humans are capable of, and in 2008  started teaching MovNat in the United States and now around the world. Join us to learn why "you don’t have to be fit to move, but you have to move to be fit."

Episode 7: Sustainable sleep with Christian Schmidt

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine" A good night's sleep is vital for every human being to survive. We all know that doctors recommend between 6-8 hours in a day; this means an average of 229,961 sleeping hours or one-third in a lifetime. Given this fact, a good mattress is essential to get the necessary rest our body needs. Getting a quality mattress can turn into a true quest; there are so many options in terms of materials, firmness, size, etc. The majority of conventional mattresses can be expensive and not last long.  A few years ago, I became aware of this and wanted to ensure my kids, and I could sleep on a safe, sustainable mattress that could last longer than the conventional ones. In this episode, I interview Christian Schmidt, an environmental consultant in Canada who founded the Black Sheep Mattress Company to make a difference in this field. He wanted to build mattresses with organic, renewable materials that are safe to use and environmentally friendly. Join us to learn how a mattress can significantly impact your sleep pattern and the environment.

Episode 6: The Science Of Aging with Dr. Morgan Levine

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine" This is the podcast that explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness. Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. These changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can modify how your body reads a DNA sequence. During development, the DNA that makes up our genes accumulates chemical marks that determine how much or little of the genes are expressed. Every environmental influence, such as children’s experiences,  affects the expression of genes. In today’s show, I interview Dr. Morgan Levine, a professor at Yale with a research background in epigenetics and aging. Together we explore DNA clocks, things that can predict our biological age, which is different from our chronological age, and diverse ways to reverse them. We also get into the future of anti-aging, which can be things like plasma transfusions, gene editing, and a whole of topics I had never heard of. Join us to learn how biotechnology is trying to add healthspan to our lifespan.

Episode 5: Lifestyle problems require lifestyle solutions with Dr. Sally Bell

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine" This is the podcast that explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness. What do you do when you are sick and don't know the cause of your illness? Well, like any regular person, you would go to your doctor's appointment, and in that 10-minute appointment, the doctor might come up with a diagnosis or send you for tests. This can be part of the process, but many people have to wait until they are really sick to fit into a diagnosis. Then they are given medicine to help the symptoms but not treat the cause. But what if you are given medication before you get a clear diagnosis? Can this help or hinder it? This was the case of Dr. Sally Bell; she is an NHS General Practitioner in the UK with expertise in lifestyle medicine. She has been working as a community doctor for more than 20 years in the UK and Africa and still, today, works part-time in NHS urgent care. When she suffered health issues, she trusted her doctors but didn't get the answers she wanted. The medical model that she was taught let her down. This made her look deeper into the root cause of her problems which she managed to heal with lifestyle changes. She is now convinced that there are better solutions to complex and chronic health problems than the conventional medical approach. This led her to undertake more training in Functional Medicine, which opened her eyes to the body's remarkable ability to heal itself. But, as she now knows, it can only do that if you learn how to create the right conditions. In today's episode, Dr. Sally Bell takes us through her journey to cure herself and how she developed the five foundations of well-being. She explains why nutrition, movement, sleep, rest, and connection are the pillars of a healthy life. Join us and learn why lifestyle problems require lifestyle solutions.
