Summary

I am honored to connect with Dr. Barrie Tan today! Dr. Tan has a PH.D. in biochemistry. He is a vitamin E expert focusing on lipid-soluble nutrients that impact chronic disease. Dr. Tan was trained as a chemist and a biochemist. His interest in keeping fat stable led to his discovery of annatto, which led to him becoming an expert in vitamin E. In this episode, we dive into vitamin E and its role in the antioxidant protection of lipids and fats. We talk about Dr. Barrie’s discovery of annatto, discuss tocotrienols, and get into their impact on cholesterol, metabolic and bone health, and cancer. We also briefly discuss GG (geranylgeraniol). My discussion with Dr. Tan has changed my entire perspective on the metabolic and bone health needs relevant to this specific variant of vitamin E! I hope that you will love it as much as I did! Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Why does Dr. Tan care most about the antioxidant that protects the lipids and fat? Dr. Tan discusses how different types of vitamin E differ from tocotrienols. Dr. Tan talks about his discovery of tocotrienols in the Annatto plant in South America. Why can’t we get sufficient tocotrienols from our food? The benefits of tocotrienols. Tocotrienols worked consistently in clinical studies done on chronic conditions like metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and osteopenia. Dr. Tan discusses his research on tocotrienols. How do tocotrienols impact weight loss and fatty liver? The impact of tocotrienols on bone health. What is GG, and why is it important for bone health?
