Julian uses tools such as bloodwork and symptomology to assess the deeper issues clients may be dealing with, which include malnutrition, circadian disruption, chronic stress, and poor gut health. \nJulian’s passion for health coaching developed during his time at university, where he became aware of the half-truths and incorrect conclusions being taught in medicine, biochemistry, and nutrition courses. His background knowledge in biochemistry not only motivated him to uncover the nuances behind human physiology which weren’t being discussed, but also share his findings to help people heal.\nJulian’s approach contrasts with the conventional approach practised by medical doctors and students. Instead of suppressing symptoms through the use of pharmaceuticals, to which side effects are not always discussed with patients, Julian’s approach involves addressing the root cause or causes of a client’s health issues, and taking steps to prevent future health conditions from arising, and improving the overall state of health, vitality and energy of a client through lifestyle changes and nutritional interventions.\nTL;DR: In this episode, we discuss:\n- What a biochemistry degree teaches you, and what it leaves out when it comes to connecting metabolism, nutrition, light, and real-world human health.\n-Why health science is rarely black and white, and why Julian argues that context and individual physiology matter more than blanket claims like “carbs are bad” or “fat is bad.”   chris-julian-ryan\n- Why someone can be told their blood work is “normal” and still feel terrible, including discussion around nutrient status, gut health, stress, light exposure, caloric needs, and mitochondrial function. \n- Mitochondria beyond “the powerhouse of the cell:\" ATP production, the TCA cycle, electron transport chain, micronutrient cofactors, oxygen,...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/5MLoeqDRx6CSgNOYUUOiHEaEGZXGL9Q2q9jH5o1jVhE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jY2Uy/NTRmM2Q1OTJkZTM3/ZDNhMDE0NTEyNWU5/ZTYyMy53ZWJw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
