Manage episode 420603722 series 3557253
Franco Cavaleri, B.Sc., Ph.D.c is a Biomedical Research Scientist/ Author / Inventor/ IFBB Bodybduilding Champion focused on the pharmacology and therapeutic potential of natural medicines.
Franco achieved a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition from the University of British Columbia while climbing the ladder to international bodybuilding success. He subsequently attended the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Medicine to doctoral (Ph.D.) candidate status; and performed over the four years with high academic grade point standing completing and passing in high standing as well, the comprehensive exam level.
Franco's research is focused on nutritional biochemistry and nutraceutical pharmacology in the context of the pathology of inflammation and inflammatory disease. His academic performance and discoveries opened the door to an extension of his thesis work from UBC's Faculty of Medicine combined with that in process at his Biologic Pharmamedical Research laboratory to engage in an overseas University program designed to investigate treatment options for a mysterious rise in cancer.
In this episode he discusses his battle with severe ulcerative colitis and how curcumin helped him recover. This experience led him to delve into natural medicine and develop a research philosophy that combines pharmaceutical principles with holistic approaches.
Franco emphasizes the importance of understanding the genomic and proteomic activity of natural compounds and re-engineering them for target specificity. He also highlights the need for standardization and validation of natural medicines. In this conversation, there is a discussion of the importance of understanding the different aspects of curcumin and how they contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties.
He explains how his research team separates and studies each curcuminoid individually to determine their specific activities and effects on inflammation. Franco also talks about the need for medical practitioners to be educated in nutraceuticals and the potential benefits of natural compounds in promoting healing and restoring the body.
He shares anecdotes of using nutraceuticals to treat brain injuries and improve cognitive function.Franco emphasizes the importance of finding passion and following gut intuition in pursuing goals.
