04:32 BLOOD PANELS - Don’t be someone who chases “numbers” while ignoring symptoms!

Advice for what to look for in CLINICAL EXPERIENCE and EVIDENCE-BASED STUDIES.

06:11 URIC ACID LEVELS - What is optimal, and is this necessary to keep an eye on this?

08:18:20 HEMOGLOBIN and its role in transporting IRON - Hemoglobin is a type of protein in your red blood cells that distributes the oxygen you breathe to muscles and tissues throughout your body. Without oxygen, your muscles would not have the energy they need to function normally.Hemoglobin also picks up carbon dioxide and returns it to your lungs for you to exhale. This essential process helps prevent toxic levels of carbon dioxide.

09:31 HEME IRON & PLANT-BASED IRON - how sourcing & BIOAVAILABILITY affects your body’s iron levels and associated symptoms of deficiency.

11:07 Why VEGANS require more Vitamin C than carnivores!

16:39 FERRITIN is a BLOOD PROTEIN that stores iron. You usually get a ferritin blood test because your doctor suspects you have too little or too much iron in your body. Ferritin is everywhere - even in your bones! MUCOSAL FERRITIN exists within your SMALL INTESTINE which is stripped away regularly, especially by a plant based diet especially if it’s high in fiber.

18:50 DO YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS of IRON DEFICIENCY or IRON OVERLOAD? You could be experiencing WEAK, TIRED, LOW SEX DRIVE, LACK OF INTEREST IN SEX, or TROUBLE WITH ERECTIONS? Foggy memory? Heart palpitations? HAIR LOSS?

47:59 QUESTION #1 - Donald, from London, UK. Questions around simple carbohydrates vs. artificially sweetened pre workout supplements concerning performance and fat adaptation.

53:55 Artificially-sweetened feeds and beverage that trigger a CEPHALIC RESPONSE - Tasting sweet food elicits insulin release prior to increasing plasma glucose levels, known as cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR). The characteristic of CPIR is that plasma insulin secretion occurs before the rise of the plasma glucose level.
