Summary

How Poor Metabolic Health Allows Covid-19 to Hijack Our System | This episode is brought to you by HigherDOSE and BiOptimzers. When we think about Covid-19 and our health and well-being, there are many factors to consider. It’s not just about the general idea of immunity; we need to understand that multiple processes within the body can either make us more resilient against or more susceptible to this specific virus. Metabolic health is a big part of this. When we look at who is most vulnerable to Covid-19, we see that among the immuno-compromised and elderly there is also a population with major metabolic risk factors. That means insulin resistance, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, obesity, hypertension, and more. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Ronesh Sinha about the key areas we can focus on to optimize our metabolic health and how they specifically relate to decreasing our risk of severe outcomes from Covid-19. Dr. Sinha, author of The South Asian Health Solution, is an internal medicine physician who runs a lifestyle clinic in Silicon Valley focused on reversing insulin resistance in ethnically diverse patients. He is also an expert in corporate wellness and serves as the Chief Medical Officer for Silicon Valley Employer Forum where he serves as a global adviser to shape health benefits for over 55 major Silicon Valley companies. His groundbreaking work in corporate wellness and raising awareness about insulin resistance in the Asian population has received global attention with front cover stories in Fortune Magazine and the LA Times. Dr. Sinha blogs actively on health at culturalhealthsolutions.com and recently launched the Meta Health podcast where he uses creative storytelling to teach listeners about health and metabolism. In this episode, we dive into: -How metabolic health relates to Covid-19 (9:21) -What is metabolic health (13:24) -How Covid-19 can hijack metabolic health (15:41) -How poor metabolic health and insulin resistance can make someone more likely to get Covid-19 (19:57) -Vaccination and severe Covid-19 risk (22:21) -Children, metabolic health, and Covid-19 (31:12) -The ABCDS to better metabolic health (42:28) -Lab tests for metabolic health (1:02:05) Also mentioned in this episode: -Free Covid-19 Survival Guide - https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/covid-19-resources/ -A Grim Warning from Israel: Vaccination Blunts, but Does Not Defeat Delta https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-vaccination-blunts-does-not-defeat-delta -Underlying Medical Conditions and Severe Illness Among Adults Hospitalized with Covid Study - https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/21_0123.htm -Deaths in Children and Adolescents Associated With Covid-19 and MIS-C in the United States - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34385349/ -NPR article about citizen scientist - https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/08/06/1025553638/how-a-gay-community-helped-the-cdc-spot-a-covid-outbreak-and-learn-more-about-de For more on Dr. Ronesh you can follow him on Instagram @roneshsinhamd, on Facebook @southasiansolution, on Twitter @roneshsinha, on YouTube @roneshsinha, and through his website https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/.

0:00.0	I no longer think of COVID-19 as a trans-imissible infection.
0:03.9	I think of it as being a trans-imissible metabolic disorder because of the impact it has on our
0:08.3	metabolism, which unfortunately can be lasting even after the infection's cleared.
0:12.8	Hi everyone, Drew Prod here on today's podcast. We're talking about metabolic health, 88% of Americans
0:19.9	are metabolically unhealthy. That means only 12% are actually healthy. And I believe, and our
0:28.0	guest believes today that that is one of the biggest missing links when it comes to getting to
0:34.1	the root of the pandemic. Listen, whether you're vaccinated or not, this conversation is for you.
0:40.8	Sauna's are expensive, but they can be a game changer. In fact,
0:44.2	sauna use can reduce inflammation, stress, and improve detoxification and energy production
0:50.8	down to the cellular level. But we don't want to break the bank to take advantage of their
0:56.5	game changing ability to improve our health. So when I was introduced to the portable higher dose
1:02.1	infrared sauna blanket and infrared PEMF mat, I got super excited because it's actually in a
1:09.6	affordable way to get all the benefits of sauna use, including increased blood flow, better sleep,
1:16.4	a common nervous system, and much more. The higher dose sauna blanket has an amethyst layer to deepen
1:22.7	the infrared benefits, a tumourine layer that generates negative ions that increase oxygen
1:28.1	flow to the brain, a charcoal layer to bind to pollutants, and a clay layer which is balancing
1:34.5	for the heat. I love how easy the sauna blanket makes it to sweat and relax at home whenever I
1:40.3	have a chance. If you want the same benefits without the sweat, the higher dose PEMF mat, which
1:47.2	stands for POST electromagnetic field, works by sending electromagnetic waves through your body
1:54.0	at different frequencies to help you promote your body's own recovery process. The smaller mat
1:59.4	fits comfortably in an office chair so that you can recharge while working, while the regular
2:04.3	size mat is great for stretching, doing yoga, meditating, or just chilling, and watching TV.
