Products they talk about
CBD oil (cannabidiol)👍 Recommends
…discussing CBD as non-psychoactive cannabis product for medical use
“CBD. CBD oil. CBD oil... CBD oil, which is part of the plant as well. This is fine. It's not psychoactive. And it's been shown to help patients with epilepsy.”
on The Shawn Ryan Show
Creatine Monohydrate Supplement👍 Recommends
…discussing creatine supplementation for brain health and neurodegenerative disease
“Well, over the last, what, 50 years from the Arnold Schwarzenegger days, people have been taking 5 grams of creatine a day... So we now have studies to show that taking 10 grams to 12 grams a day can effectively raise your brain creatine levels... And it's been said that in diseases like neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's disease, we have an energy crisis... If we can give it more energy, then it has more energy to fight, right?”
on The Shawn Ryan Show
Garmin watch👍 Recommends
…discussing wearable devices for fitness tracking during training
“When I'm training, I wear a Garmin watch and I wear a heart rate monitor just because it's so natural to me so I can check what my heart rate is.”
on The Shawn Ryan Show
Listerine mouthwash👎 Not a fan
…warning against mouthwash due to blood pressure and cardiovascular concerns
“Have you heard that Listerine, you know, the one that you drink is causing the same thing? It's actually increasing blood pressure... And actually, I would caution people against taking Listerine. That, I do believe... mouthwash, especially. Don't take that.”
on The Shawn Ryan Show
Omega-3 fish oil supplement (EPA and DHA)👍 Recommends
…recommending omega-3 supplementation for brain health and Alzheimer's prevention
“When it comes to nutrition, one thing that a lot of people can be doing is they can be taking omega-3 fatty acids. I think it's up there as well. If you get it from a reputable brand, a lot of the omega-3 fatty acids on the market are highly rancid and they exceed the normal oxidation level... 70% of your brain is made of fat. Right? It's fat and water. And most of the fat that it's made from is DHA... There is a transporter on the outside of your brain, MFS2DA transporter. That actually helps shuttle in DHA into the brain. That becomes dysfunctional in Alzheimer's disease patients... two grams of DHA and two grams of EPA per day. It's also been shown to eliminate and clear out some of those plaques.”
on The Shawn Ryan Show
Still Alice (film)👍 Recommends
…recommending film about early onset Alzheimer's for understanding disease progression
“There's a movie that was made and it was so beautiful. I forget the actress's name, but it's called Still Alice. And basically it chronicles the woman who gets diagnosed with dementia in her 40s... So if you see her in this movie, you can see the fast deterioration of who she is to death, really. And you should watch it because she starts to lose everything.”
on The Shawn Ryan Show
Whoop Band👍 Recommends
…considering wearable for detecting heart health conditions
“I don't wear the whoop band. I mean, I think I might go, I might go and do that actually... they've got this new thing on there, which shows if you have atrial fibrillation and it can detect whether you have a fib and a fib is one of the biggest risk factors for a heart related event or a stroke. So I think that's pretty cool.”
