Sinopse

In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" I interview one of the world's leading phytochemical and nutrigenomics researchers who specializes in sulforaphane.  Todays episode is all about improving cellular health, the core of health, and how activating the Nrf2 pathway through such phytonutrients like Sulforaphane (the precursors of which Glucoraphanin and Myrosinase) are found in Broccoli sprouts and other cruciferous veggies.  You will learn: How sulforaphane upregulates the Nrf2 pathway  How the Nrf2 pathway acts as a master switch, turning on over 250 genes and impacting thousands of enzymes in their function.  How the Nrf2 pathway upregulates the cells own intelligent endogenous antioxidant systems  Why just throwing a bunch of antioxidants into the body doesn't work in quenching oxidative stress The impact of upregulating Nrf2 in relation to the gut  How it has system wide implications  Why probiotics don't colonize the gut like you think they do How probiotics (or certain strains) c
