But what if there was a way to lower levels of Galectin-3 with a natural compound? • Today we welcome clinician and researcher, Dr Isaac Eliaz who shares with us his research on modified citrus pectin (MCP) and how, through influencing Gal-3, it has the potential to be applied to a broad range of inflammatory diseases. Dr Eliaz also discusses his passion for the profound effects of mind-body medicine practices, including how meditation can influence Gal-3 and improve wellbeing. • Covered in this episode: • [00:52] Welcoming Dr Isaac Eliaz • [02:03] The origins of modified citrus pectin (MCP) • [06:54] Galectin-3 and its role in the body • [12:29] Treating Galectin-3 as a target for disease treatment • [13:33] Galectin-3 and acute kidney injury • [16:17] Galectin-3 and preventing fibrosis • [20:22] Potential effects of blocking Galectin-3 for the healthcare system • [23:21] Attributes of modified citrus pectin and how it affects the metabolic system • [27:07] The possibilities of MCP in autoimmune disease • [30:17] MCP, Galectin-3 and gut health • [33:45] MCP and liver diseases • [35:15] MCP and sepsis • [37:30] MCP and cancer therapies • [41:36] Galectin-3, MCP and inflammation driven disease • [45:49] Normal function of Galectin-3 • [50:24] Emotional stress and Galectin-3 • Find today's show notes and transcript here: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/podcast... • • ****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
