Today, I\u2019m happy to welcome Dr. John Lieurance as my guest! Dr. Lieurance is a doctor of chiropractic and naturopathic medicine and the author of Melatonin: Miracle Molecule (Melatoninbook.com).\nMelatonin is a very misunderstood hormone that is astonishingly impactful. It has profound, significant, and far-reaching effects that go all the way to the cellular level. Most of us are shocked to hear the story of the connection between melatonin, inflammation, infections, and mitochondrial health and discover that much of what we do in our modern-day lives harms our melatonin production.\nIn this episode, Dr. Lieurance and I dive into the role of melatonin plays in stress protection, anti-aging, and brain function. We talk about hormesis, discuss what depletes melatonin, and explain why those who are sympathetic dominant in our modern-day lifestyles need to be highly attuned to this crucial hormone. We get into the role of sleep, the role of deep sleep in brain health, autophagy, and autoimmunity. We touch on the gut microbiome and explain why specific populations, including shift workers, should be concerned about supporting melatonin secretion. We also discuss the role of SandMan and other products Dr. Lieurance created, including Fast Track Fast, which contains Nad, Methylene Blue, and other senolytic products.\n\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\xa0\n\nDr. Lieurance explains the connection between the body\u2019s adaptation response to stressors and disease.\n\nWhat part does melatonin play in how the mitochondria in our cells respond to inflammation?\n\nRepleting lost reserves of melatonin can be helpful, provided you make some lifestyle changes.\xa0\n\nDr. Lieurance explains the difference between pineal melatonin and extra-pineal melatonin.\n\nKey things that cause disease in our modern civilization.\n\nDr. Lieurance explains why he refers to melatonin as \u201cthe ultimate resilience molecule\u201d and recommends supplementing it later in life.\n\nStudies have proven that melatonin supplementation is non-toxic.
