Great Health Awakening: Millions Sick, One Simple Solution with Dr. Jack Wolfson
If you want good moods, you need your health and energy working at optimal levels. But millions of people in our world today are sick, and modern medical advice is not always the best answer. We have “sick” care which perpetuates the problem by adding pills and prescriptions to mask the underlying causes of illness.
Cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson joins The Good Mood Show this week to share natural strategies aligned with how our ancestors thrived - without pharmaceuticals. Dr. Jack shares insights from his book "The Paleo Cardiologist" on how to achieve optimal health by eating well, living well and thinking well. Listen in to learn natural strategies for feeling your best!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
Eat Well - specifically wild seafood for omega-3s
Live Well - Get quality sleep, sunshine & physical activity
Think Well - Practice self-love and self-acceptance
[02:30] Eat Well
Our ancient ancestors regularly consumed omega-3 rich seafood as part of their diets, and modern diets often lack these essential fatty acids. While omega-3 supplements can provide benefits, Dr. Jack's preference is to obtain omega-3s through whole food sources like seafood whenever possible. Wild seafood like salmon, sardines and shellfish, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids, are shown to reduce risk of mental health issues, heart disease and more.
[11:37] Live Well
Quality sleep and exposure to natural sunlight, which aids in vitamin D production, are essential to our health as per Dr. Jack Wolfson, who emphasizes the importance of our bodies' natural circadian rhythms. He encourages outdoor physical activities like walking, hiking, biking, and water sports, reminiscent of our ancestors' high-intensity interval type activity. However, Dr. Jack also warns of indoor toxins such as mold mycotoxins from water damage, which can harm brain and body functions. He underscores the significance of holistic dentistry to avoid toxic materials like mercury fillings, and chiropractic care for overall wellness.
[24:01] Think Well
Developing self-acceptance, gratitude, spirituality and strong relationships are keys to thinking well. Dr. Jack advises limiting technology and getting outside when feeling down as they naturally improve moods and cognitive function.
Notable quotes:
[09:50] When we suffer from a heart attack, how do we prevent another one? Well, the answer to prevention is not pharmaceuticals. The answer to prevention is through that lens of eat well, live well, and think well. [10:02]
[25:15] When people have spirituality, they tend to be happier people. [25:18]
[27:48] Turn off the fear channel. Understand that when you're watching mainstream media, they are there to keep you glued. They're there to keep you fearful. [27:57]
