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.
