IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn how you can make smarter food choices to support your metabolic energy and upgrade your brain. You’ll also find out some new things about body fat. For example, did you know that it’s a complex organ that communicates throughout your entire body system? You’ll get tips on fat loss essentials and how to use them to your advantage. 

Today’s guest, Shawn Stevenson, hosts a popular podcast called The Model Health Show. He’s a nutritionist, researcher and bestselling author with education and experience in business, biology, and nutritional science.

Shawn’s been in the health and wellness space and doing clinical work as a nutritionist for nearly two decades. He’s known for his ability to keep learning and evolving his approach with deep research into the science of human health.

He’s all about improving human performance and energy with science-backed basics like food in his “Eat Smarter” book and sleep in his “Sleep Smarter“ book. 

This episode gets right into food choices you can make—and why they work—to stoke your metabolic energy. Topics like:

• How people can better understand the process of fat loss.
• How the misconstrued science of calories contributes to how much people struggle with their diets.
• What metabolic switches are, what do they do, and why it’s important for you to know how to turn them on and off.

 IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn how butyrate and phospholipids keep your gut, cells and brain performing at their best. You’ll find out how your mucosal barrier defends against pathogens in your gut microbiome. You’ll also learn about discoveries in the field of cell membrane medicine. This focus determines how your body functions now and also how you age.

Jessica Kane Berman joins the show to share new information and interesting science about cellular health from the perspective of BodyBio, the company founded by her grandfather, Ed Kane, an inventor, health explorer and early biohacker. He went looking for answers to his own health issues in the 1980s and got deep into the science of fatty acid research and cell membrane medicine through blood testing.

BodyBio sticks to a very specific group of products, most notably butyrate and a phospholipid complex of phosphatidylcholine. Jess explains how true liposomal phosphatidylcholine and phospholipids get through to the cells to help rebuild that membrane. 

Here’s a few good things butyrate does in your gut:

• Helps maintain the thickness of the mucosal barrier—keeps the good in and the bad out
• Helps the expression of tight junctions and strengthens the gut wall
• Expresses MUC2: this produces mucus, which thickens your mucous lining
• Regulates T-Cells and helps lower cytokine release
• Increases microbiome diversity
• Anti-inflammatory properties help improve intestinal barrier function and mucosal immunity

Butyrate goes way beyond the gut to influence bone mass and density, asthma and allergies, histamine intolerance, body detoxification, inflammatory brain pathways, and mitochondrial function. Butyrate also can alter gene expression, protect against cancer, and regulate the body’s immune system.
