Highlights from today's episode include:
Dr. John Lewis
So, when you when you give the body these concentrated polysaccharides that are very, very uncommon, if not completely out of the modern diet. You're essentially giving the cells the things that they need to
Dr. John E. Lewis
So, it's kind of like if you have a car, I use this very poor analogy, because I can't think of a better one. But if your car has water in the gas tank, and it's kind of sputtering along, it still runs, but it's sputtering and doesn't really drive that well. You get that water cleared out, and then you give it high test 93 grade gasoline. And now boom, suddenly, your car is running like its brand new again. That's exactly what giving these polysaccharides does to ourselves.
Dr. John E. Lewis
as we know as immunology has progressed over the last several decades, we know that the immune system interacts with all of our other major organ systems to really kind of survey what's going on and modulate and regulate inflammation and all these cytokines and growth factors. And so, if our immune system is crapping out on us, then that just involves every other major organ system. And then what happens? Your overall health is compromised.

Much of his research has focused on evaluating the effects of nutrition, dietary supplementation, exercise, and medical devices on various aspects of human health and disease. He and his colleagues have been continually searching for ways to help people achieve and maintain health through natural treatments that align with our physiology.

He has also mentored many different students, from undergraduates to post-doctoral trainees, in how to conduct clinical research and to apply the principles of health promotion into daily practice. His seminal publication from the study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, not only spurred him to leave academics and pursue a science-based business career, but also enabled him to be selected for a widely-acclaimed TEDxMiami talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJr0sxmxGI) about how dietary supplementation can improve brain health.
Dr. Lewis also embodies the model of health and wellness by eating a whole-food, plant-based diet for over 25 years, taking certain key dietary supplements, and through a rigorous, daily exercise training program.
