The Optimal Body

Let’s talk about optimizing nutrition to combat aging, disease, and weight management. Shawn starts the conversation by taking us through his path in deciding to leave the traditional medical and health care system, and use his expertise to provide guidance on truly experiencing longevity. Maybe, salt, fat, and cholesterol are not as bad as we think it is? Shawn unveils the truths behind the research that proposes negative correlations with salt, fat, and high cholesterol, in the context of hypertension, obesity, and heart disease respectively. While doing so, he hones in on the importance of natural, unprocessed, and whole foods. Moreover, Shawn addresses protein through concepts of muscle protein synthesis and insulin as a major contributor to protecting the body from sarcopenic obesity and age-related muscle loss. Particularly highlighting collagen and leucine, Shawn talks about different types, sources, and the importance of protein and collagen. Furthermore, Shawn addresses creatine and its anti-cancer, anti-aging, and performance-enhancing benefits. Finally, he mentions the association between blood sugar and diseases, and provides insight into his top 10 supplement list, emphasizing the significance of vitamin D3 and K2, magnesium, and polyphenols.
