Mercola: Dr. Marcos De Andrade Interviews Dr. Mercola – The Best Strategies to Optimize Health and Strength
Mercola video: The video above features an interview I did with Dr. Marcos de Andrade, a research physician and CEO of BIOHAXS. We met at Dave Asprey’s Biohacking Conference in June 2023, where we ended up arm wrestling. KAATSU — generically known as blood flow restriction (BFR) training — radically improves muscle growth and strength, without risk of injury. This makes it ideal for the elderly. Strength training is necessary to prevent sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss, which leads to frailty and premature death. KAATSU tricks your body into thinking you’re lifting a much heavier weight, thereby providing faster results. KAATSU also inhibits myostatin, which is a muscle growth inhibitor. One of the reasons it’s so difficult to maintain muscle mass as you age is because your vascular supply decreases dramatically. When you’re doing KAATSU on a consistent basis you’re activating the Type 2 muscle fibers, which generates a wide variety of highly beneficial metabolic biproducts, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which acts like a “fertilizer” for capillaries and blood vessels. For optimal energy production and minimal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, you want to burn glucose in the mitochondria, and the only way to do that is by limiting your dietary fat content to 30% or less of your total calories.
