Discussing the powerful properties of Sulforaphane

In this episode of the OneMedicine Podcast, featuring Matt Lim, BAppSc, BHSc, we dive into using nutrigenomics to improve health outcomes with a focus on addressing oxidative stress.. We review nutrigenomics at a high level and discussed activating the NRF2 pathway using compounds like sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts. We discussed how practitioners can apply these nutrigenomic principles in their practice.

Speaker Bio:

Matt Lim is an Integrative Dietitian who has always been fascinated by the power of food to promote health, nourish the body and tantalize the taste buds. When studying Biochemistry, Matt became enamored with the potential of phytochemicals to improve health and wellness and remains especially fascinated by the medicinal properties of various culinary herbs and spices.

It is this enquiring mindset that led Matt to join Cell-Logic to further his understanding and help educate and empower clinicians to benefit from a wholefood and lifestyle-based, treatment paradigm.

Growing up in a culturally diverse family, Matt learned to love all types of food and its preparation; he still cooks with passion to this day. A lifelong proponent of whole food and culinary nutrition has given Matt many insights into the practical side of healthy living, which he has successfully used in over 20 years of private practice nutrition.

With degrees in Biochemistry, Nutrition and Dietetics, Matt’s broad educational background and clinical experience in sports nutrition, weight loss and diabetes, enables him to translate complex science into clinical solutions.

We are in the midst of a psychedelic revolution with virtually every major academic medical institution in the US operating a psychedelic research lab. Psilocybin is one of the best studied of these substances, acting through a variety of mechanisms including BDNF generated neuroplasticity, anti-inflammatory immune modulation, neurotransmitter activation (serotonin HT2A/B, dopamine, glutamine), gut-brain axis support, and more, the active ingredient in "magic mushrooms" supports a high state of neural entropy which is believed to be a primary mechanism in the ability to rewire the brain and address old burdens with a new perspective.

With an impeccable safety profile and very compelling outcomes with a variety of mental health and neurological conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction, trauma, and dementia, psilocybin remains a Schedule 1 drug and illegal in most states and municipalities. There are, however, a few exceptions.

Based on the 2018/19 FDA designation as a Breakthrough Therapy, the doors to research are open wider than ever. And under the protection of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993-federal legislation passed to offer protected use of entheogenic plants within the context of sincere spiritual practice. There is a pathway to access beyond the limited geographic decriminalization offered in Oregon and Colorado. Listen in as I chat with the founders of one such non-profit church, rooted in Naturopathic Medicine principles, as they safely and responsibly bring the healing power of psilocybin to those who can benefit.

Today we’re talking with Dr. Lexi Loch about Inflammation. Inflammation can be life-saving and also life-threatening. The acute inflammatory response helps the body heal, defend, and repair. However, when inflammation persists without resolution, chronic inflammation ensues. Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest contributors to chronic health conditions. Prioritizing lifestyle and nutrition changes can make a huge impact, along with targeted supplementation. Curcumin with turmeric essential oil has been shown to modulate almost every inflammatory pathway in the body, while also promoting resolution of inflammation. Boswellia excels at modulating inflammation from the 5-LOX pathway, which can translate to reductions in lung, gastrointestinal, and joint inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids are precursors to compounds called specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), like resolvins and protectins, that help resolve inflammation.

Dr. Lexi Loch, ND received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine, where she graduated with highest honors. In addition to her practice, she is a medical writer and editor, researcher, educator, and patient advocate. Her articles have been published in various natural health periodicals and reference books. Prior to her education as a physician, Dr. Loch worked in veterinary medicine as a certified veterinary technician. She is also an accomplished athlete, playing collegiate volleyball and participating in overseas tournaments, an avid snowboarder, and has been world-ranked in downhill longboarding.
