Journey to Health: Aleph Drasmin
My guest on this episode of Journey to Health is Aleph Drasmin. She is the founder of Drasmin DreamWorks, an education collective devoted to bridging science and spirit. She and I have kept in touch since we became friends several years ago. I thought inviting Aleph would add a unique and insightful perspective to the Journey to Health series. She didn't let me down.
In the interview, we touch upon some very profound concepts of neuroscience and trauma. Aleph draws upon intuition and her ongoing study in neuroscience to understand how someone may heal.
We had a discussion of themes that do not always reach the traditional medical practice. The listener may wonder whether some of the topics brought up here were speculative or pseudoscience? Aleph made some very important comments to address these themes, including her mentioning the limitations and ongoing evolution of science.
With invitation and curiosity, we explored the concepts of how the brain adapts to trauma and how sometimes these adaptations can contribute to behaviors that fuel disease. Aleph provides some very interesting comments on the brain's interpretation of words and how we can reprogram the words to begin to reframe their significance.
It was truly a pleasure to interview Aleph. I hope the audience enjoys the exchange.

Audio File: How the Environment is Critical to Your Health
The environment encases us like a glove to a hand. We are directly affected by our environment, and we can ensure our environment stays healthy. One example of the startling effects of the environment is life expectancy: a developed country like Japan has a life expectancy of 85 years, while a country like Chad has a life expectancy of 55. This article features information regarding the influence of the environment on our health. The hopes are that we can begin to improve the environment that directly surrounds us and that governments and large organizations can be stewards of the environment.

You are what you eat: triglycerides, sugar, and inflammation
Let food be thy Medicine and Medicine be thy food.
Food is the fuel for our cellular functions. We extract the substances from the food that we eat. Included in this are potential sources of toxicity, including a high simply sugar and ultra-processed foods. When a patient with diabetes presents to an infectious diseases physician with fever, fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea and very severe pain in his back, important findings in his history and bloodwork uncover a cause: very severe hypertriglyceridemia (very high triglycerides).
Dr. Cirino will explain the metabolism of sugar and formation of triglycerides. There are several ways to treat this condition, the cornerstone of which is a plant-based diet.
Finally, Dr. Cirino explain how the environment affects our growth and functioning and the 4 I's: Ingestion (food, liquid, substances, microbes, poisons), Inspiration (clear air, pollution, allergens, microbes), Injury (physical trauma, injection drug use, burns), and Impression (interpretation, instinctual response (cognitive distortion/bias), stress reaction).
Erratum: fish oils are high in omega-3 fatty acids; omega-6 fatty acids are less desirable types of fatty acids. Refer to the article for further details.
