Dr. Rhonda Patrick: The Diet Essentials Your Body Shouldn't Live Without (But Probably Is!)

Shane Parrish sits down with the renowned biochemist Dr. Rhonda Patrick to explore the intricate world of nutrition and health. Dr. Patrick provides a deep dive into the role micronutrients play in our daily health, detailing how deficiencies and insufficiencies in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids can lead to serious health issues over time. Shane and Dr. Patrick also discuss the science behind deliberate heat exposure. She outlines the optimal sauna conditions-temperature, duration, and frequency-necessary for these health benefits and explains how the physiological mechanisms work.
Rhonda Patrick has a Ph.D. in biomedical science and a Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry/chemistry from the University of California, San Diego. She has done extensive research on aging, cancer, and nutrition.

[@annedupin3540]

Rhonda, I have important information on your "do not mix blueberries with bananas" advice and your consecutive change of your smoothie recipe. The reason why you shouldn't mix berries with bananas is that fruit containing polyphenoloxidase (PPO) degrades the polyphenols in the berries. However, we don't just find high concentrations of PPO in bananas but also e. g. in chard which is featured prominently in your smoothie recipe, right along with blueberries. So if you want to avoid to have the blueberries' polyphenols degraded you better eat them without any of the other ingredients in your smoothie. You might want to rethink the recipe you give out to newsletter subscribers (I'm one of them, yayy 😊). Warmest wishes, Anne

[@Nikthehermit]

TLDR; don’t mix bananas with blueberries because they contain an enzyme that breaks down the enzyme. Are we even sure that’s bad? Is there a possibility it increases absorption?

It's all relative to the compound the mag is chelated to. Like she mentioned, the organic materials have better bioavailability and once the mag breaks off from its chelated substrate, now that molecule can go places and do work. Best bang for the buck: Mag glycinate.

[@michaelayalaathotmai]

[@jeffg4686]

regular usage of mushrooms (3x week) as food or supplement also heavily decreases chances of cancer. The thing with Magnesium is likely related to preventing calcium deposits. So, on that front, the other things would be Vitamin K2 on days when you go in the sun, especially, in normal doses - don't go overboard on this one. Chanca piedra

[@DutchmanAmsterdam]

Don't go overboard with K2 based on what study? I never heard about that and wonder if you are just making things up. Also when you go in the sun your skin creates the inactive D3 cholecalciferol, this gradualy gets metabolised into calcifediol in the liver over one up to four weeks. So the K2 you take that day makes little difference. Luckily K2 is already active and will stay in the blood and liver for a couple of weeks while the D3 metabolisation continues. The British NHS states that no upper limit for K2 is known and 1000mcg daily is completely safe. That makes sense since many Japanese ingest huge amounts from the natto they eat. Easily 1000 to 2000 mcg or even double that in one single breakfast portion. So What's your worry about K2 based on? Ideally one should take at least 400 mcg K2 mk7 daily, for proper calcium placement in the bones. Also Magnesium is needed for this. I would btw not depend on the sun for D3 rather take a supplement, 5000 IU or 10,000 daily depending on your 25(OH)D3 blood level. The same UV rays that form D3 also cause DNA damage leading to skin cancer, that is well known. D3 from supplements is 100% equal to the one you get from sunshine without the skin damage. A little bit of sunshine may be healthy but I would be careful not to overdo it. BTW D3 overdose is so rare that it really doesn't occur. Having a blood level of 100 ng/ml is probably ideal and is what dr Bozz advises, I strive for that myself. Have your blood checked for calcium and phosphor at the same time to have confirmed that there is no D3 toxicity (which would show as hyper calcemia/phosphoremia) Good luck. 👍

[@jeffg4686]

@@DutchmanAmsterdam - anything that promotes bone reformation (very useful when done in normal amounts) can have negative consequences especially if you have anything putting pressure on your body in an area. One example would be sunglasses that are pressed too tight against the area above the nose. It's just my $0.02. Good not to go overboard with any supplements, but the concern is bone reformation just based on puttin' 2 and 2 together. Besides, you don't need this one in the first place if you have good gut bacteria and eat right (have some greens)

And, I am so happy she explained the K1/K2 for Vit D3 to get calcium directed to the right places in our bodies. With all the K2 talk these days to shuttle calcium to the bones and not the wrong places in our bodies, I too, took K2 and within a few days I was getting small hemorrhages in one of my eyes, upon stopping the K2 they went away. A couple of weeks later, I restarted the K2 and had the same small bleds in my eye. I feel so better knowing I can get the same effects of K2 with getting enough K1. Thank you so much Dr. Patrick for all you do to empower us with knowledge. God bless you and your family.

It's not 1 to 1. Clearly supplements are more concentrated. You have to eat a lot of leafy green. You need to cook them to break up the cellulose and release minerals from the phytate. And then you need to make sure you don't end up with high levels of oxalate (can lead to kidney stones)

After watching nearly all of Philip Rafferty’s videos I knew I had to do his BNT course. Philip did a BNT balance and within five minutes my pain went from severe pain and exhaustion to no symptoms, with energy levels up to 8 out of 10. My brain fog is gone, which had caused enormous frustration. I will be forever grateful to Philip because now I can live my life pain free.

We need all amino acids, especially for me is L-lysine!

[@nikkishevillo8741]

So why not magnesium L-threonate? Thought good for brain health? 😊

[@csb1143]

I use glycinate, but give threonate to my kid who has mild anxiety. I think it kinda depends on your needs. That’s what I’ve been reading and listening to from other Drs.

[@djcreek]

It's a good form of mag but it tends to be 2-3x more expensive.

[@JCX-9]

Yes the L-threonate gets into your brain. I take it at night for better sleep. The Glycenate is good overall but there are others that are good. I mixed them up to get all the benefits. I also take lot of D3 and that requires Magnesium supplements.

[@JCX-9]

@@djcreekone place you shouldn’t be so concerned with cost is your health. We can save on other things that are none essentials but definitely your health is not where you want to cut corners.

7:25 - I started researching various aspects of nutrition and medicine back in 81 and found two great research papers on Selenium and lung cancer rates, on from China and one from the USA. The conclusion from the one in China stated that those with high Selenium from their food had the same lung cancer rates of non smoking Americans - And the one from the US had a 40% decrease in lung cancer rates. Some time later I correlated the two conclusions and they were so closely matched as to be identical conclusions. The OMEGA 3's mentioned could very well be from food as the likes of wild Salmon, Sardines and Kippers etc also have a good supply of Selenium. I believe I shall go back to high quality OMEGA supplements again as I simply do not get enough of them these days. Thanks for the heads up Dr. Patrick 👍 - 👍

[@JCX-9]

Take 2 Brazil nuts a day for Selenium. Too much Selenium is not good either and should not be taken in large quantities. It’s only in small amounts that makes it beneficial.

[@ethimself5064]

@@JCX-9 The safe upper limit is 400 mcg/day, which is conservative for good reason. as a Supplement of high quality. Nothing is good in too high of amounts - did you know that it only takes 1Tbs of too much water to drown?

Dark leafy greens, beans and legumes for magnesium.

[@ghostindamachine]

But which kind of Magnesium is beneficial then?

[@JCX-9]

Magnesium Glycenate, L-Threonate- (than one goes through the brain barrier so the only one that actually reaches the brain) Citrate, Taurate. Most of them are pretty good just avoid any supplements that say Magnesium Stearate!! that’s garbage they add to supplements to lubricate them.

[@janedoe8050]

Would love to hear about magnesium carbonate, this form of magnesium. I have great anacdotal evidence for this form, but I keep hearing bad things about carbonate forms of such things. Anyone that can help me here please do!

[@LONDONIA2072]

Very useful thanks - but please do research on farmed salmon. On the whole it seems to be appalling with overuse of antibiotics and insecticide; the fish are often mutilated from water fleas etc. Honestly, I wouldn’t touch any of it, canned sardines probably better…

[@ta8193]

Horrible! Interesting that the farmed is more expensive than wild. Sardines being small don't absorb heavy metals.

Are there PPOs in beetroot? Should they be avoided in smoothies like bananas?😱

[@ThongNguyen-fl9jp]

there are PPOs in beet greens and beets, but 2x less in beet greens and 30x less in beets than in bananas. Here's a video that at minute 13:20 shows a chart of foods that contain PPOs. But the whole video goes over the study probably mentioned by Dr. Rhonda here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjVhYuZmcqNY6csi=rq0jhyfDSm5qduOU&t=800

[@paulreesor8200]

Glyphosate is about the only chemical that most people have heard of but probably the least likely to be on your food with the exception of some grains and soyabeans. Don't eat those products regardless because soy fat is bad and carbs are the biggest cause of health issues regardless of how organic or whole grains they are. Glucose causes high insulin and high glucose eventually.

[@thewizardTim999]

I'm sorry to add more fear to the issue of glyphosate. You should know it is absorbed through roots and leaves into the physiology of the fruit. It doesn't matter how thick the skin is. The GMO plant does not destroy the glyphosate directly. So, it can NOT be washed away. The amount of this poison inside the fruit will depend on how physiologically stable the glyphosate is. It will be a matter of its 1/2 life since the most recent spray.

Very surprised that she uses Avocado in place of Bananas because of PPO. Avocados have PPO as well. All fruits that brown when exposed to air have PPO.

[@ThongNguyen-fl9jp]

Avocados do have PPO but 135 times less than bananas. I suppose the relatively low PPO count and the availability of omega 3s lead to a benefit outweighing the costs? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjVhYuZmcqNY6csi=rq0jhyfDSm5qduOU&t=800

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

It's not about what does and doesn't have PPOs. Bananas and Apples as well top the list in high PPO foods that avoiding improves absorption of other foods.
