Episode Details

Looking for some scientifically supported ways you can boost your immune system and metabolic health? Are you fed up with sensationalized science and illogical public policy? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki interview Mike Mutzel, clinical nutritionist and biohacker with a talent for disseminating medical journals into digestible messages and lifestyle recommendations. Mike speaks on navigating research studies and how to live while practicing wellness in a fear mongered world and he unpacks new literature on cellular aging and oxidative stress. 

This episode will challenge you to take your metabolic health to the next level and may plant some seeds of how to discuss the pandemic at the dinner table with loved ones this holiday season. In his recommendations for mitigating inflammation and enhancing a robust immune response, he covers intermittent fasting, keto, cold plunges, and the importance of determining your epigenetic age! To round things out we cover food and nutrition in your own backyard and discuss Mike’s homestead and experience of raising pigs, chickens, turkeys, and growing food.
