Every day, we are exposed to elements that negatively impact our health. But how do we choose to react to these harmful sources? This question led us to the first ever adventure in the "Explore with Dr. Dan" series. Join us as Dr. Dan Gubler, THREE's Chief Scientific Officer, embarks on an exploration of the lush and mysterious Pacific Northwest. "I chose this location because the ecosystem here is so unique. From the moss to the ferns and the nearness to the salt water, the Pacific Northwest is just unlike most other areas," Dr. Dan explains. This journey reveals the incredible potential of plants and their phytonutrients in promoting health and wellness.
The Olympic Peninsula is one of the last places in the continental U.S. where plants have not been fully discovered and explored. With 600,000 species of plants on Earth, this area is a treasure trove for discovering new molecules that can support human health. Dr. Dan takes us through the dense, rain-soaked forests, revealing the secrets hidden within the flora.
Rain plays a crucial role in the rich biodiversity of the Olympic Peninsula. The plants here absorb volatile molecules from raindrops, creating a plethora of phytonutrients. "Look at what we have here," Dr. Dan exclaims as he examines a hair moss species. "When three things are together, you have beautiful phytonutrients that come together with all of these."
Dr. Dan carefully collects samples, ensuring they remain uncontaminated by using brown paper bags. These samples are taken back to the lab for analysis, with the potential to support bone, heart, joint, and gut health.
The majestic Douglas firs and other large trees are the powerhouses of the rainforest. Covered in mosses, lycans, and epiphytes, these trees are living ecosystems. Dr. Dan shares insights into traditional medicine uses, such as bark for lung health. "We're going to take this pitch back to the lab and see if it has molecules like phyto ceramides and other phytonutrients."
Mushrooms are among the most powerful organisms for holistic potential. "Look at this beautiful mushroom," Dr. Dan marvels. Full of polysaccharides and terpine saponins, mushrooms are beneficial for natural energy and immune health. The aroma of mushrooms also offers potentially therapeutic benefits.
Mosses, often overlooked, are rich sources of bioactive molecules. They help regulate the cell cycle, support healthy blood flow, and are packed with highly bioavailable vitamins and minerals. Dr. Dan collects samples of mosses growing on trees, ready to analyze their cellular absorption capabilities.
Dr. Dan emphasizes the necessity of exploring plants for medicinal molecules. "One in three Americans are metabolically unhealthy," he states. New strategies and molecules are essential to support healthy cholesterol levels, gut health, and overall human health.
One of the driving forces behind this exploration is conservation. By discovering and showcasing the healthy properties of plants, Dr. Dan hopes to protect these natural treasures for future generations.
As Dr. Dan's expedition in the Pacific Northwest comes to a close, he reflects on the untapped potential of plants and the importance of traditional medicine. This journey has reignited his passion for discovering healthy molecules and promoting proactive wellness. "No matter where we come from, who we are, what we look like, we are all human beings and we should treat each other with love and kindness and respect."
