Why Cancer Cells Are Dehydrated and How Sunlight Hydrates Your Cells | Dr. Gerald Pollack

Most biology textbooks treat the water in our body as background, a solvent that DNA and proteins float around in. But what if a large portion of the energy in our body is actually coming from the water in our cells? And what if a disturbance to the structure of that water is a hallmark of cancer and other diseases?Dr. Gerald Pollack is a Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington and one of the few scientists studying what water is actually doing inside our cells. He says water is not the background, it is doing the work. It is a battery, and it is supplying us energy.Episode show notes + some bonus clips from this episode I only released for premium subscribers, find them: https://livelongerworld.com/p/gpollackHe explains:◼️ How 99% of the molecules in our body are water molecules, and how water is not just a background solvent◼️ How water is a battery and gives us energy◼️ Why every cancer cell is dehydrated with low electrical potential◼️ The role of infrared light and sunlight on water in our cells◼️ What builds EZ water: sun, sauna, red light, grounding, juicing, deuterium depleted water, turmeric, holy basil and ghee◼️ The effect of Hyperbaric oxygen, PEMF and magnets on EZ water◼️ The link between dementia and EZ waterTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Water in our cells is central to every disease00:38 Why almost nobody in biology studies water01:18 99% of your molecules are water.

Oxford physiologist Denis Noble reveals why your genes are not the blueprint for life, why evolution itself works nothing like the selfish gene made us believe, and why the failed promise to cure disease by reading our DNA points to a completely different understanding of health and aging!Denis Noble built the first working mathematical model of the heart in 1960 and is one of the founding figures of systems biology. He is a professor at Oxford with a career spent studying how living systems work, and he now argues that the genome is a database the living cell draws on, not the program running the show.He explains:◼️Why the Human Genome Project never delivered the cures we were promised◼️Why your DNA cannot actually predict most disease◼️The CD analogy: why studying genes tells you nothing about the music of life◼️His long-running clash with Richard Dawkins and the selfish gene◼️Why purpose and intelligence run all the way down, from your immune system to a predator hunting its preyEpisode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/denisnobleTIMESTAMPS:00:00 The Selfish Gene Is Just Not Correct00:21 What Are Functional Networks, Really?02:09 Genes Build the Muscles, But Don't Move Them09:42 Your Genes Are a CD, Not the CD Player12:11 Can Your DNA Predict Your Disease? 14:23 If Not Genes, How Do We Find Cures?18:18 Then Does Gene Therapy Even Work?21:32 Why Scientists Can't Let the Paradigm Go24:08 What Darwin and Lamarck Actually Said31:42 Do Animals Choose?

Circadian scientist Dr. Martin Moore-Ede reveals why the LED bulbs in nearly every home may be driving a rise in breast and prostate cancer, why he calls the light we now live under the tobacco of our time, and why the modern fear of the sun may be shortening our lives instead of protecting them!Dr. Moore-Ede discovered the master circadian clock in the human brain, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and ran a sleep and circadian research lab at Harvard Medical School for two decades. He has spent 50 years studying how light governs human health, and now argues that the shift to blue-rich LED lighting has created an environment our bodies were never built for.He explains:◼️ Why breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer track almost exactly with how much electric light a society uses◼️ Why melatonin is not the sleep hormone you think it is, and what it really does at 2am◼️ How LEDs strip out the red and infrared your mitochondria need for energy◼️ Why the sun exposure data flips skin cancer advice on its head◼️ Why your children are going short-sighted, and the wavelength that prevents it◼️ Why the $200 blue-light glasses most people buy block the wrong blueAASTHA, LIVE LONGER WORLD:Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/mmooreedeX: https://x.com/aasthajs Instagram: https://instagram.com/aasthajs My health stack: https://www.healthstacked.com/aasthajsTIMESTAMPS:00:00 LED Light Is the Tobacco of Our Time01:33 The Connection Between Cancer and LED Lighting04:05 Why Hormone-Driven Cancers Are Hit the Hardest07:49 Is There a Link to Glioblastoma?08:14 Why Melatonin Is Not the Sleep Hormone11:40 There Is No Blue Light in Nature After Sunset15:58 We Live in Junk Light, Just Like Junk Food17:21 What Wavelengths Are LEDs Actually Missing?20:44 The Infrared We Lost When We Banned Incandescents22:52 The Two Ways LEDs Are Harming You30:05 Health Stacked30:56 White vs Yellow Light: Why It's the Wrong Question33:59 Lux, Lumens, and a 100-Year-Old Mistake38:27 What LED Light Does to Your Heart and Immune System40:44 Why Regularity Matters as Much as the Light Itself43:07 The Camping Study That Reset Everyone's Body Clock49:56 Sunlight vs Skin Cancer: We Have It Backwards53:03 The 450 vs 480 Spike Almost No One Gets Right59:52 Why Life Evolved to Run on Blue Light01:03:13 Melanopsin: Your Body's Blue Detector01:08:28 Do Melatonin Supplements Actually Do Anything?01:12:19 Why the Wrong Side of a Time Zone Can Kill You01:15:37 Is There Something Special About Dawn?01:17:12 Light and the Early Onset of Puberty01:20:53 The Aggressive Kid Who Changed When the Lights Did01:21:51 Should You Replace Your Windows?01:24:00 Do not wear sunglasses in the morning!01:26:44 What About Daytime Lighting?01:27:41 Do Blue-Light-Blocking Glasses Work at Night?01:31:20 Take Your Lighting Into Your Own HandsPRODUCTS I USE FOR BETTER CIRCADIAN RHYTHM:◼️VivaRays 4 in 1 Blue Blockers: https://vivarays.com/livelongerworld or code LIVELONGERWORLD for 10% off◼️Healthy Home Shop Circadian Bulbs: https://thehealthyhome.shop/livelongerworld for 10% off◼️Daylight Computer No-blue screen: https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/livelongerworld for $25 off◼️Chroma Circadian-Aligned Desk Lamp: https://getchroma.co/photonsfromaastha and code LIVELONGERWORLD for 10% offFull list of health products I use: https://www.healthstacked.com/aasthajsDr. Martin Moore-Ede:Website: https://thelightdoctor.com/Book: THE LIGHT DOCTOR: Using Light to Boost Health, Improve Sleep, and Live Longer: https://amzn.to/4yrwWWuHEALTH STACKED, the trusted longevity marketplace: https://www.healthstacked.com/RELATED POSTS:Avoiding the sun kills more people than skin cancer: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/sunsmokingYour Lights are Wrecking your Sleep (Here’s What I Use): https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/redlightsYour Screens Are Keeping You Awake: 60 second fix: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/redphone

97-Year-Old Brain Scientist Professor Michael Crawford reveals why the human brain has been physically shrinking for thousands of years, why he believes it was DHA, an omega-3 fat from the sea, and not your genes, that built human intelligence, and why the official advice to limit fish in pregnancy may be harming an entire generation of babies!Professor Michael Crawford is Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition and a visiting professor at Imperial College London, with more than 300 published papers and the 1972 work that first linked DHA to the evolution of the human brain. At 97, he is still sharp, still publishing, and still arguing that modern nutrition has neglected the one organ that makes us human.He explains:◼️ Why the brain physically cannot work without DHA, full stop◼️ Why it was DHA, not DNA, that shaped the human brain◼️ Why he says the FDA is wrong about limiting fish in pregnancy◼️ How seed oils quietly crowd this fat out of your brain cells◼️ Whether dementia and Alzheimer's actually begin in the womb◼️ Why humans could only have evolved big brains beside the sea◼️ How chicken and eggs lost almost all of their brain fat◼️ Why he believes DHA works like a semiconductor in your neuronsEpisode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/mcrawfordFind me on X: https://x.com/aasthajs Instagram: https://instagram.com/aasthajs My health stack: https://www.healthstacked.com/aasthajsTIMESTAMPS:00:00 The Brain Food We Stopped Eating00:32 "Your Brain Won't Work Without DHA.

Is a hidden molecule in your food and water silently fueling cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's? Could the supplements you trust every day be making it worse?Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a senior research scientist at MIT (published in PNAS, Frontiers, FASEB) with a career studying nutrition, biology, and toxicology. In this conversation, she explains why deuterium — a heavier form of hydrogen — may be the most underrated driver of chronic disease, why cancer might be the body's repair response to deuterium-damaged mitochondria, and why most supplements may backfire.We discuss:◾ Why deuterium may be the most important molecule you've never heard of◾ How glyphosate stops your body from clearing deuterium◾ The two supplements you should stop taking immediately◾ Why she says: "I don't believe in supplements"◾ Why chemo may be working backwards on cancer◾ How to make your gut produce low-deuterium water◾ The folic-acid-in-pregnancy and autism connection◾ Why she drinks deuterium-depleted water every dayThis is Dr. Seneff's second appearance on Live Longer World.

The standard “wear and tear” story of aging may be incomplete. Dr. Peter Lidsky—a virologist and evolutionary biologist argues that aging is programmed. He says aging can be an adaptive strategy for controlling pathogens, a concept he calls the “pathogen control hypothesis.” In this episode, we dig into the evidence behind this idea, the immune system in aging, and what his theory means for longevity interventions.Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/plidskyFind me: https://x.com/aasthajs My longevity products: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/2024TIMESTAMPS:0:00 — Aging ≠ Wear-and-Tear3:44 — The Case for Programmed Aging8:48 — Why Program Aging at All?11:09 — The Pathogen-Control Hypothesis14:26 — Why We Get “Sick Time”24:37 — Rising Lifespans, Explained27:36 — Bowhead Whales’ Longevity Edge31:15 — Why Lone Animals Don’t Live Forever34:00 — Planaria: The “Immortal” Worm35:00 — Do Infections Speed Up Aging?36:46 — When Immunity Starts to Slide38:17 — Why Fertility Has a Deadline42:49 — Extending Life via the Immune System1:00:35 — How Honey Bees Rejuvenate1:10:50 — Can We Tackle Aging?

“We can use the rule of evolution to optimize cancer therapy. The standard practice is that any therapy is given at maximum tolerated dose continuously until progression. It's almost a mantra that they have. Evolutionarily, you could hardly do it worse.” The current treatments on cancer do not account for how evolution works. Dr. Robert Gatenby has been studying evolutionary and game theory dynamics in the progression of cancer. He established the first cancer biology and evolutionary program in the U.S. We can leverage this evolutionary information to provide more effective cancer treatment, which he discusses in this episode.

Mitochondria might be one of the most important organelles inside our cells. Best known as the cell’s powerhouse, they don’t just make energy; they regulate metabolism, control cell death, drive immune function, and may even be the reason multicellular life exists at all!It’s no surprise they’re implicated in nearly every major disease, from heart disease and cancer to neurodegeneration, especially as they decline with age. What if we could slow or even reverse that decline by giving cells fresh, healthy mitochondria? That’s the promise of mitochondrial transplantation—a groundbreaking approach Mitrix Bio is pioneering. In this episode, I talk with CEO Tom Benson about the science, the potential, and the early results from people already lining up for their trial.Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/tbensonFind me: https://x.com/aasthajs My longevity products: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/2024TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Injecting new mitochondria into your body01:39 - Mitochondria’s evolutionary role in aging04:35 - What happens to old mitochondria?06:18 - Why humans live longer than other animals11:30 Why cardiovascular disease is #1 killer12:30 - Why does the brain remain sharp with age?15:30 Why does energy decline after age 30?19:04 Why doesn’t the body correct mitochondrial mutations?22:42 Mitochondrial defects in children24:14 Diagnostics for mitochondrial health27:36 Mitochondrial DNA is eternal33:18 Where does mitochondria come from in mitochondrial transplantation?34:59 Growing mitochondria in a bioreactor39:07 How neurons grow their mitochondria40:52 Mitochondrial theory of cancer44:23 Mitochondria and psychobiology48:32 Chemotherapy and radiation damage mitochondria50:38 Evidence that mitochondrial transplantation works56:06 Caloric restriction, sauna, sunlight, and mitochondria1:00:01 Mitochondria and races1:02:57 Why stop at 130 years old?1:04:48 Why might this not work?1:10:03 Volunteers for Mitrix trialAASTHA, LIVE LONGER WORLD:X: https://x.com/aasthajs Newsletter: https://livelongerworld.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aasthajs/Mitrix Bio: https://mitrix.bio/Tom Benson: https://mitrix.bio/team/tom-benson/RELATED:New Spin to the Free Radical Theory of Aging: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/rosKeto & Metabolic Therapy for Cancer | Dr. Thomas Seyfried: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7tYdjcJ3G4tqbAx9Z6Bix2?si=biOOH1e5RpeZduLJv2fPHwBoost Mitochondria with Sunlight and Infrared light: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1jGfhzX1P245LU2kLwgHTq?si=yPOC3bViRnmOUeR-P0jeWA

Can we detect cancer so early such that we find the very first cell of cancer? Not just stage 1 cancer, but the first cell of cancer.In this episode, Dr. Michael Levin and I speak with Dr. Azra Raza. She is an oncologist pioneering early detection of cancer using electric signals. So far, our best solution to curing cancer has been to detect it early, and she wants to take this further, by nipping cancer at the very first cell.Her story with cancer is also deeply personal as she lost her husband to the disease. You can see in the episode how much she cares about solving cancer through early detection, and how aggrieved she is about the fact that not only have we made zero progress on cancer in the last 100 years, but doctors are also not focused on cancer prevention.Dr. Raza is also the author of the book The First Cell: And the Human Costs of Pursuing Cancer to the Last.Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/arazaFind me: https://x.com/aasthajs My longevity products: https://www.livelongerworld.com/p/2024TIMESTAMPS:0:00 New theory of cancer1:45 What causes cancer? 5:39 Hybrid cells in cancer 11:16 Why do cancer cells become immortal?14:14 Detecting the first cell of cancer17:09 Stress causes cancer cells to fuse21:40 Cancer drugs don’t work universally25:54 Personalization of early cancer detection29:29 Detect cancer early using electrics35:46 Anguish of cancer patients39:06 Cancer progress hasn’t moved in 100 years44:04 Doctors don’t think of cancer prevention46:54 First Cell Therapeutics - Azra’s company50:55 What is the first cell stage of cancer?54:55 Advice for cancer patientsAASTHA, LIVE LONGER WORLD:Twitter: https://x.com/aasthajs Newsletter: https://livelongerworld.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aasthajs/LINKS:Michael Levin: https://twitter.com/drmichaellevinAzra Raza: https://azraraza.com/Azra Raza book The First Cell: https://amzn.to/4jGJzoJEpisode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/arazaRELATED EPISODES:Keto & Metabolic Therapy for Cancer | Dr. Thomas Seyfried: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7tYdjcJ3G4tqbAx9Z6Bix2?si=gboyPAiLQrqg-y5YEKQiQQWhy Viruses Could Be the Cause of Chronic Disease | Dr. Paul Ewald: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2OdYInlzTy2zG3Mi6TgADY?si=Gnbg7efNSy21bS3q0c23jg

What if chronic diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s are caused by infections we’ve overlooked? We assume chronic disease is caused by genetics and / or lifestyle. However, evolutionary biologist Dr. Paul Ewald says latent viruses and pathogens play a critical hidden role in many diseases. For example, we already know that Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer.
