Health Optimisation Podcast

⚡️Revealing the truth about the covid-19 vaccine, statins and prescription drugs💬 “The estimated third most common cause of death globally after heart disease and cancer is prescribed medications. What your doctor prescribes for you.” ~Dr Aseem Malhotra➡︎ By 2030, 23.6 million people will die EVERY YEAR from heart disease. The food we’re eating is making us sick and the “cure” big pharma is selling is making us sicker. And worst of all - your doctors aren’t even trained to know what’s best for you.➡︎ Dr Aseem Malhotra is one of the UK’s leading heart doctors and has made it his mission to reveal the dark secrets of nutrition policy, exercise and the healthcare system. He’s the author of three books including ‘A Statin-Free Life’, and is the man behind the campaign that saw Jamie Oliver and football icon Steven Gerrard fight to have better school meals offered across the UK.➡︎ In his new documentary “First Do No Pharm”, Dr Malhotra exposes the biggest cover ups in modern medicine and says big pharma has “abandoned its moral compass in pursuit of profit”. He argues we live in a world of “too much medicine” and says drugs like statins are doing nothing to help curb rising rates of heart disease - and may be causing more harm than good.➡︎ In this episode, Tim and Aseem reveal the damaging consequences of big pharma’s influence on healthcare, and how it funds 50% of medical education in the US. They get into the lasting impact of the covid-19 vaccine and how we were lied to about its benefits. They explain just how damaging statins, and prescription drugs in general, really are. And they explore why so many people are dying from heart disease and how you can avoid becoming another statistic.💡 Highlights(1:28) Why he changed his mind on the covid vaccine(7:47) Long term impact of covid vaccine(10:00) Prescription meds third biggest killer(17:13) Heart health and the covid vaccine(19:58) Deep corruption in healthcare(26:25) How doctors are failing us(33:15) Better relationships are key to health(39:09) Why is heart disease killing so many people?(46:51) Why statins don’t work(50:06) Building a heart-healthy lifestyle(52:14) How Dr Aseem deals with stress(53:19) First Do No Pharm documentary(53:36) Who can we trust?🔎 Visit: https://draseemmalhotra.co.uk/https://nopharmfilm.com/A huge shoutout to LVLUP Health for sponsoring this episode!Your gut health is the key to brain health, and LVLUP is leading the way with peptides that regenerate brain tissue and repair your gut.

⚡️Functional medicine will transform your health - how to change your gene expression & protect your immune system!💬 “Our immune system is unbelievably intelligent and it has a mastery that we still are only starting to fully understand” ~Dr Jeffrey Bland➡︎ Functional medicine started in the 1990s thanks to the incredible Dr Jeffrey Bland. Where modern medicine diagnoses problems and treats disease, functional medicine takes a proactive approach, focusing on the uniqueness of each individual to create tailor-made solutions for lasting health.➡︎ Dr Jeffrey Bland is known as the “Father of Functional Medicine” and founded The Institute for Functional Medicine with his wife in 1991. His work is championed by the likes of Mark Hyman, Terry Wahls, Kara Fitzgerald and David Perlmutter.➡︎ Much of his work focuses on the immune system, which he believes is hugely misunderstood and plays a much bigger role in our overall health than we realise. And he says it doesn’t have to get worse as we age!➡︎ In this episode, Tim and Jeff explain how our whole body is connected and why modern medicine’s focus on individual symptoms is failing our health. How we CAN control our health despite our genes, by changing the way they express themselves. Why immune “boosting” doesn’t work and why we should be looking instead at “immuno-rejuvination”. And why we need to think more positively about our health if we’re going to fix it.💡 Highlights(1:58) How functional medicine began(7:56) What is functional medicine?(11:36) How modern medicine is failing you(15:05) Power of the immune system(24:47) Dr Bland’s most profound discovery(29:45) Shocking truth of chronic illness(33:10) How to get functional medicine mainstream(35:27) Why immune “boosting” is a scam(43:52) Future of functional medicine(45:30) Dr Bland’s legacy(47:55) Dr Bland’s heroes⚡️Inspired by today’s episode?

Grounding, also known as earthing, is Tim’s favourite biohack because it’s so powerful - yet most people aren’t doing it.➡︎ Over 20 peer-reviewed research studies have shown the positive effects of grounding, and yet people often say “it’s not scientific” and “it doesn’t do anything”. ➡︎ That’s why Tim’s introducing you to the man who first introduced grounding to the world Clint Ober.

Breast implant illness is a real and potentially debilitating health issue - so what’s going on?➡︎ As one of the most common cosmetic surgeries in the US, it’s important for women (and the men who love them) to know the facts about breast implants - and to understand how to recover and detoxify.➡︎ Luckily, Dr Rob Whitfield is a world-renowned plastic surgeon who’s removed more than 3000 breast implants, helping his patients to come back from breast implant illness.➡︎ In this episode, Tim and Rob discuss the link between implants and inflammation, and why they can lead to such a cascade of negative health impacts.

It tells you what you're doing right and where you can improve.” ~Dr Stephanie Estima➡︎ Women can’t just workout the same as men, yet they’re often given watered-down fitness and diet advice meant for guys, making weight loss impossible and throwing their hormones out of whack. ➡︎ But women are not just “little men with these pesky hormones”!

“Brain tumours and how it impacts children, and then fertility. We have a crisis worldwide in the Western nations. Quite simply, it’s draining our batteries.” –Nick PineaultWe’ve been led to believe that non-ionising EMF radiation from your mobile phone, Wi-Fi router, and Bluetooth headphones is safe – and if you disagree, you’re a conspiracy theorist.

“Freud was wrong. Penis envy is not the cause of anybody’s problem. It’s the brain. The thing you really want bigger, better, healthier, is your brain.” -Dr. Daniel AmenFast food, caffeine, alcohol, the news–these modern health disasters leave a physical imprint on our brains, that you can actually SEE on a brain scan. Today’s guest, Dr. Daniel Amen, says mental health conditions like anxiety, depression and ADD are actually brain health issues, and knowing this makes them easier to treat, especially in our kids. For example, he gives these startling statistics:54% of teenage girls report being persistently sad. 34% have thought of suicide. 24% have planned to kill themselves and 13% have tried. “This is unlike anything we have experienced in my lifetime, maybe ever,” he says. “It’s a shit show. And nobody’s talking about the actual physical health of their brain.”Dr. Amen is a physician, and adult and child psychiatrist. He’s a 12-time New York Times bestselling author of numerous books, including Change Your Brain, Change Your Life; The End of Mental Illness; and Healing ADD.He co-authored his newest title, Raising Mentally Strong Kids, with renowned child psychologist Charles Fay, Ph.D., president of the Love and Logic Institute, Inc.Dr. Amen turned to psychiatry for help after his wife tried ending her life. He fell in love with the profession. But he realised it was the only medical speciality that doesn’t treat the organ itself. He set out on a mission to change that. Since founding Amen Clinics, he’s scanned over 250,000 brains and created the world’s largest database of brain scans for psychiatry. In this episode, Dr. Amen explains how the modern world is damaging the very structure of our brains, and reveals how we can start properly caring for this hidden organ. He explores the cognitive decline caused by fast food, alcohol, coffee, and obesity. And he shares the shocking truth of child mental illness, while teaching us all how to raise and parent mentally resilient kids.Highlights(3:23) What brought Dr Amen to the field(6:58) Lessons from 250,000 brain scans(11:51) Understanding the organ itself(15:26) How alcohol impacts the brain(19:21) Top things harming our brains(22:39) New study on ultra-processed food(26:41) Tips on being mentally strong(33:04) Raising Mentally Strong Kids(39:18) Truth about kids’ mental health(42:22) Secret to successful parenting(44:00) The penguin story(51:55) Is your parenting style breeding strength or weakness?(59:03) #1 thing for brain healthVisit: https://www.amenclinics.com/https://danielamenmd.com/Sponsor: Shout out to our episode sponsor BodyBio.

Break anxiety, phobias, addictions and gain control over anything in your life with cognitive hypnotherapy.“Potentially anything that the mind creates, cognitive hypnotherapy can help with” –Trevor SilvesterCan’t stop biting your nails? Constantly feeling down or anxious? Struggling to lose weight? Can’t kick that addiction? Try cognitive hypnotherapy!When Trevor Silvester founded the Quest Institute, he introduced the idea of combining hypnosis with cognitive behavioural therapy, and the results have been extraordinary. This breakthrough method of therapy doesn’t just treat symptoms with a one–size–fits–all approach, it gets to the root cause of a person’s issues–and gives them the tools to gain control over anything in their life.Trevor’s innovative therapy approach turned Tim’s life around, helping him sell a company, get into biohacking, and better understand those around him. That success compelled Tim to join Quest as a practitioner, and Trevor became his mentor for more than five years.In this episode, Trevor explains the hypnotic language of wordweaving, a tool that gave Tim the life-changing line, “follow the fun.” The conversation explores the different trance states we all live in, and how cognitive hypnotherapy isn’t about hypnotising you to get better, but de-hypnotising you from what you thought was wrong.And, as Trevor explains, we each have the answer to solve our own problems locked within us.Highlights(2:39) What you can achieve by knowing cognitive hypnotherapy(7:38) What IS cognitive hypnotherapy?(14:01) Everyday trance states(19:24) Yes, you CAN be hypnotised(25:52) What issues can cog hyp treat?(32:54) The story of Mrs Toothbrush(39:14) The hypnotic language of wordweaving(44:21) Tim’s major breakthrough; “follow the fun”(48:08) An actionable take-home messageVisit: https://www.questinstitute.co.uk/ Sponsor: Shout out to our episode sponsor CAROL Bike!
