New music for the show, by LIOR.

We have a new tune for our show to welcome the new year! An old friend of mine from uni happens to be one of Australia’s finest artists, Lior, and as I love supporting local artists and it’s been brilliant having Melanie Horsnell’s music on the show the past couple of years, for 2023/24 it will be Lior. You will hear excerpts from his track “Caught Up” – go check it out on iTunes or Spotify if you want to hear the whole song or album, Scattered Reflections. Co-written with Cameron Deyell, it’s a great song and I love the reflective energy of it – perfect for the show, right? Enjoy. Lior is always touring, so do check out his website. It is wonderful to hear him sing live, trust me.

And on this week’s show!

Perhaps the best doctors to usher us into the new integrative era of medicine and root cause approaches, are the conventional doctors for whom a health crisis occured and they realised the tools they had been given we’re enough. This is a pattern I’ve noticed in interviewing now hundreds of doctors over the years and Akil is one such person. In today’s show we discuss why the integrative approach is far superior to conventional when it comes to the chronic disease epidemics we’re seeing all ovewr the world and how the protocol he has researched and developed over the years in his practice combines the best of multiple disciplines to support people in losing weight, gaming energy and reversing disease. Dr. Akil Palanisamy is a Harvard-trained physician, integrative medicine expert and author of The T.I.G.E.R. Protocol. Akil practices integrative medicine, blending his conventional medical expertise with holistic approaches including functional medicine and Ayurveda.

Questions I asked Dr Akil

In studying medicine both conventionally and functionally/holistically, where did your interests take you in terms of what you really wanted to understand, treat and teach as a doctor?
What got you interested specifically in the rise in autoimmune conditions in practice?
How have autoimmune diseases become a silent epidemic?
Why does conventional medicine alone fail to treat those affected?
How do toxins in the home affect our immunity?
How can we avoid toxins in our food?
Infections – often when you do a timeline of when a person’s health sptarted to decline, an infection, a ‘bad viral infection that knocked me out for a week’ is discovered? How can we better fully heal from infections to lesson or eliminate them having an ongoing impact on us?
How can we identify/ best test for hidden infections that might be playing a role in body burden?
Can you talk to us about ANA/ENA blood tests and when we should start testing for those markers and what we should initially do with positive results?
Talk to me about your arrival at a “Paleovedic” union for people’s health?
Now let’s talk about the TIGER protocol you take people through in your book – how did it get its name?
Can you tell us about your two-phase elimination and reintroduction diet that addresses toxins, heals infections, improves gut health, and more?
What are your recommended superfoods and supplementation for daily detoxification and overall health?
