In this episode of The Optimized Mind, Dr. Kate talks with entrepreneur and researcher Dr. John Lewis. The discussion focuses on Dr. Lewis’ recent research findings on the benefits of polysaccharides on health and well-being with emphasis on the benefits for those with neurodegenerative conditions. Central themes which emerge through the conversation focus on the ways in which rebalancing the immune system can boost cognitive function and the innate power of the human body to heal itself when given the proper fuel. John E. Lewis, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition and past full-time and current Voluntary Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is a Diplomate, Faculty Member, and Advisor of the Medical Wellness Association. He has been the principal investigator of over 30 different studies in his research career, focusing on evaluating the effects of nutrition, dietary supplementation, and exercise on various aspects of human health. Dr. Lewis has been an invited national and international lecturer at conferences and as a guest on television shows, where he discusses not only the findings of his research, but provides guidance and recommendations as a health expert. He has over 180 peer-reviewed publications in some of the world’s leading scientific journals.  A seminal publication from his Alzheimer’s study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, not only spurred him to leave academics and pursue a science-based business career, but also enabled him to be selected for a widely-acclaimed TEDxMiami talk about how dietary supplementation can improve brain health.  Dr. Lewis embodies the model of health by eating a whole-food, plant- based diet for over 26 years, taking certain key dietary supplements, and through a rigorous, daily exercise training program. John has a passion for educating others about the value of nutrition, exercise, and health, and he will continue to study the application of clinical nutrition for the benefit of mankind.To learn more about Dr. John, please visit:www.drjohnlewisnutrition.comTo Learn More, visit:www.katelundspeaks.comListen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/kate-lund
