Description

This podcast is about one of the most important biological pathways you could possibly take the time to learn about: the NRF2 pathway. The most potent naturally-occurring inducer of this pathway, a plant compound known as sulforaphane, may be one of the most potent health-enhancing compounds at our disposal and yet... no one is keeping it out of your hands! No $1,000 per pill markup is keeping it out of your hands -- it’s available to anyone willing to take the little bit of time it takes each week to produce broccoli sprouts. Here are a few of the more salient points surrounding sulforaphane that are discussed in this podcast... Profound changes in lipid biomarkers, reducing heart disease risk by as much as 50% in humans. Massive reductions in cancer risk in humans and also highly effective as a cancer intervention, particularly prostate and breast but also many others. Steep reductions in inflammation in humans. Shown in mice to be as effective as prozac as an anti-depressant. Steep behavioral changes in humans with respect to certain neurological disorders, such as autism. Causes dramatic boosts in the excretion of air pollutants (up to 60%) in humans.   If you’re interested in learning more, you can read the full show notes here: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/sulforaphane Join over 300,000 people and get the latest distilled information on X, Y, Z straight to your inbox weekly: https://www.found myfitness.com/newsletter Become a FoundMyFitness premium member to get access to exclusive episodes, emails, live Q+A’s with Rhonda and more: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/crowdsponsor
