“Self Hacking to Wellness” - a presentation by Joe Cohen on August 18, 2016.
Each person is different with biological differences. It is important to find the root cause for ailments that an individual might have. Mr. Cohen refers to many mechanisms leading to poor health. These include an imbalanced microbiome, poor mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, inflammation, impaired methylation disorders, poor blood flow, and malfunctioning biological pathways. These are all interconnected with one leading to the other. Underlying all of these are oxidative stress and inflammation.
Risk factors increasing inflammation and oxidative stress include:
• Psychological stress,
• Marathons/Excess exercise,
• A vegan/vegetarian diet - which is lower in Vitamin A and other nutrition and higher in
lectins. Retinol is critical for immune tolerance and a high lectin load for a sustained
period will create chaos.
• Less sun exposure (UV and infrared are the best ways to shut the immune system down.
UVB also helps create vitamin D3, which is necessary for immune tolerance),
• Less consumption of DHA, which is critical for immune balance,
• Chronic circadian disruptions, which imbalances the gut immune system,
• Infections/Biotoxin exposure,
• Sleep deprivation, which will disturb your immune system.
• Antibiotics, which will disturb the gut flora...
• EMF exposure -
