Inflammation, Heart Disease, and the Environment: A Deep Dive with Douglas Mulhall

Inflammation, Heart Disease, and the Environment: A Deep Dive with Douglas Mulhall
In this episode of the "No Sitting on the Sideline Dad" podcast, we welcome Douglas Mulhall, a seasoned expert in the field of Environmental Health. With over 30 years of experience, Mulhall shares his unique insights into how our environment impacts our health and how our health, in turn, impacts the environment. One of the key topics we delve into is the issue of antimicrobial resistance, a significant environmental health concern. Mulhall explains how the overuse of drugs in humans and animals has led to microbes and viruses becoming resistant to therapies, posing a serious threat to global health. Inspired by his father's death from heart disease, Mulhall has developed a keen interest in the role of inflammation in heart disease. He sheds light on the function of elastin, a crucial protein in the human body that degrades over time and is not replaced, leading to an inflammatory response in the body. We also discuss the potential of new therapies to repair elastin, which could potentially reverse heart disease. While these therapies are still in the experimental stage, they hold promise for the future of heart disease treatment. Mulhall recommends a couple of tests that can be done to detect early signs of heart disease: the Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Test (CIMT) and the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score. He also mentions a nutraceutical product called Nano BacTX, which has been on the market for 20 years and has been endorsed by several high-level cardiologists. Finally, we explore the benefits of a plant-based diet as a way to reduce inflammation in the body and potentially reverse heart disease. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in health and wellness.   DOUGLAS MULHALL BOOKS BOOKS   Website : www.natureoflongevity.com

Jody Wellman, a positive psychology practitioner, embarks on a mission to prevent the pangs of regret by encouraging people to live a life worth living, causing them to confront the absurdity of life's finite nature and reverse engineer a life of delight. "Let's go all the way to the end and then say, hey, how do I want to be remembered? What's my legacy? Or how, again, would I feel proud that I lived a life that makes me feel like I was alive, that I showed up as a good parent if that's applicable? And so then that does allow us to work backward and then kind of reverse engineer a life that makes us feel delighted."
