A fascinating discussion with Dr Leland Stillman MD on using light and seasonality to optimise gut health and much more.   Transcript here   Bio:    I born in New York City and grew up in Richmond, Virginia. I became interested in medicine at an early age, thanks to childhood ear infections and allergies. This gave me an enduring interest in the immune system.   At fifteen, I decided that I would go to medical school. I studied biochemistry and environmental health in college, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. I went on to receive my medical doctorate from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. I then trained in Internal Medicine at Maine Medical Center. I practiced general medicine as a traveling doctor for three years after residency.   I now practice natural and functional medicine in Richmond, Virginia.   Topics discussed:   Leland Stillman Origin Story Health Maintenance Dr Jack Kruse https://podcast.nourishmeorganics.com.au/dr-jack-kruse-on-light-and-the-microbiome Live like a polar bear Omnivorous Mammals Quantum Biology Anthony Beck Meeting Dr Jack Kruse and The Modern Medicine Paradigm Henry David Thoreau  Social Media as a facilitator of health information Human beings a super organism Changing Algorithms Trying difference health paradigm and iterating Ice Bathing Inflammation E= MC2 Information transfer Social Immune System Hive Mind Mum's health journey Finding Fulfilment Local Connectivity Disconnecting from Nature Immune Sytem: Neurontransmitters and hormones Melatonin and Breastfeeding Microbiome and Mental Health Microbiome Testing https://www.allele.com.au/collections/frontpage/products/gut-microbiome-analysis What is the Microbiome?
