Summary

Dr. Alexis Cowan is a Princeton-trained PhD in molecular biology who operates at the interface of physiology, metabolism, and nutrition. Here, she specializes in the design and implementation of targeted dietary and lifestyle protocols in areas including gut health, fat loss, metabolic flexibility, and cognition. Dr. Cowan works with medical professionals and coaches looking to expand their repertoire of evidence-informed approaches, as well as high-performing individuals seeking to optimize their health and performance.

In this episode we discuss:

• The metabolic effects of different diets

• The scientific evidence around vegan & vegetarian diets

0:00.0	Welcome to the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent
0:08.5	conversations.
0:14.4	In today's episode, I have the privilege of interviewing Dr. Alexis Cowan.
0:20.6	And what's so amazing about her is not only is she
0:24.2	a Princeton trained PhD specializing in the metabolic physiology of nutritional science and
0:31.8	exercise interventions, she actually worked in Joshua Rabinowitz's lab. And for all the science nerds out there, Rabinowitz's lab.
0:38.3	And for all the science nerds out there, Rabinowitz's lab is one of the best labs in the country.
0:44.3	There's been some very incredible work done out of Joshua Rabinowitz's lab, and Alexis Cowen has been a key component in that process as she did her PhD in molecular biology.
0:58.1	In today's episode, we really examined some of the evidence between the vegan-style vegetarian diets,
1:06.2	what is important for gastrointestinal health, what does it mean, what are some of the
1:10.6	microbiome markers
1:13.3	and the microbiota that's really important for health? We just have a great conversation
1:17.8	looking at both sides of the story, whether you are keto, carnivore, vegetarian, vegan. We are
1:25.1	not here to discriminate. We are here just to discuss some of the science
1:29.1	and some of the ways in which the science is put out there. And you can now take this information
1:35.4	and implement it into your own life. I hope you enjoy this possible for you guys. And that is
1:43.1	first form. They have a great product
1:45.9	that really goes in line with the topic today about gut health, and that is Opti Greens 50.
1:54.6	This is a low temperature processed ingredients. So this is low temperature, meaning it preserves all its nutrients. A lot of the
2:05.7	phytonutrients in these greens actually function as prebiotics. It is a blend of eight
2:13.3	organic grasses and greens delivered in a two-ounce shot of juiced greens.
2:21.0	And they actually have travel packs, which are amazing.
