In this solo show I answer listener questions including: What are supplements for irritable bowel disease? What are natural solutions for preventing pre-eclampsia? Recommendations for a high quality bed and mattress? What are my thoughts on enemas? What is the diet of my two cats? How long do I plan on taking zeolite? What are my thoughts on diatomaceous earth for parasite detox? I share my philosophy on human health and why I think the CLF Protocol is a great place to start with improving your health.

Bacillus subtilis is a common bacteria that is found in the upper layers of soil, dairy products, and fermented foods. Zack Abbott, co-founder of ZBiotics, genetically modified that strain of bacteria to give it the unique function of converting a form of sugar called sucrose into a unique type of fiber called levan. In this episode he shares his thoughts on why the naturalist approach is not always best for human health, why fiber intake is crucial for optimal health, why he consumes 50-60 grams of fiber everyday, the anti stress effects of fiber, the health benefits of short chain fatty acids, his thoughts on the validity of stool tests, and more.

There is a lot of noise on social media about the harms or usefulness of various supplements. Zeolite is one that is constantly under attack with information that always lacks nuance and specificity about the dosage and form of zeolite, whether its powdered, liquid or nano. While a lot of the misinformation was deconstructed in the first show with Jeff Hoyt, owner of Zeolite Labs, in this show the actual proof is provided that the right dosage and the right form of zeolite supplementation can actually lower heavy metal content in the tissues and increase vitamin and mineral status. This is contrary to what you hear about zeolite aggressively stripping your body of nutrients and leaving you worse off than when you started. My performance this year in spite of various challenges also disproves the myth that all you have to do is follow the bioenergetic approach to achieve peak health and no supplements are required. Since taking sufficient amounts of zeolite powder I have become more grounded, more mentally sound and less emotionally reactive. About halfway through this episode we go through the past five months of my oligoscan results using spectrophotometry to measure the heavy metals present in the tissue of my hand. My aluminum has only steadily decreased since supplementing zeolite, which is made of aluminum silicate, and all other heavy metals are steadily dropping as well.

Did you know that the creator of Kelloggs corn flakes had a brother that became obsessed with light therapy? Brian Richards, founder of Sauna Space, joins us to talk about the history of light therapy and how it helped improve his past struggles with insomnia, brain fog and fatigue. We talk about the difference between sunlight and artificial light therapy, the potential dangers of sunlight, the importance of near infrared light, what comes out of your body when you sweat in a sauna, his personal sauna routine, what makes his Firelight bulbs different from chicken coop heat lamps, why he added EMF shielding to his product, how he shielded the cables for his product, and why he added a metal cage around the bulbs. I also ask him about flicker, how to use his lights to improve the health of the home environment, how long it takes to complete a full sauna session in his tent, his thoughts on red LED devices, his mineral supplement routine, thoughts on binders, and more.

What is homeopathy and where did it start? What is "like cures like", minimum dose and the laws of cure? How do you choose the right potency of a homeopathic remedy? Where should someone begin when working with the twelve tissue salts? Which homeopathic remedies should someone keep in their first aid kit? What is the astrology and homeopathy connection and how do you find which tissue salt is associated with your sun sign? Dr Robert Selig runs a natural health practice out of Chicago and returns to the show to explain the synergy between hair tissue mineral analysis testing, mineral balancing, and using homeopathy which is energy medicine.

In this episode I explain not only why I'm moving again but why I've been moving frequently for the past few years. I talk about the 100 acres that I'm moving to soon and what I'm doing to restore an abandoned large underground bunker with a built-in pyramid. I break down my plans for how the tall capstone will be built, talk about pyramid energy and my experience with it, how I'm going to manage the lighting situation, my thoughts on sleeping underground, and the advantage of having geothermal cooling in the summer. I've watched a lot of YouTube videos over the years of people building various sizes of bunkers underground, from large cylinders with flooring installed to multi-million dollar luxury ones. I talk about why I think those are overkill and what threats you're reastically mitigating by having a bunker. The TLDR is that I'm seeking a healthy blend between aesthetics, functionality and safety. If I decide to host health retreats again this will be the most interesting venue in the world.

I often see health educators talk down on the need for supplements, going as far as to say they are a waste of money or toxic. While these can be true for lower quality brands that put profit above quality, it is not always true. Nutritional supplements save lives and they're necessary in today's world. In this solo show I break down exactly why supplements are required. People will often defend supplements by only going as far as saying the soils are depleted, but will not go into details, especially about salt based NPK fertilizer and the catastrophic effects of acid rain on the soil. Iyr produce is not what it used to be, even if its certified organic or purchased from your local farmers market. Enjoy this deep dive where I talk about biosolids and how "forever chemicals" have gotten into our produce and meat, the devastating effects of acid rain on fungal mycorrhizae in soil, how metals compete for beneficial minerals, and the supplements that I recommend to stay in balance.

It seems that every month on social media there is a new boogeyman in the health world, whether its a vitamin, mineral, or a safe substance like zeolite. The caveat to it being safe is found in this podcast with Jeff Hoyt, owner of Zeolite Labs. This is a "Best Of" show repost from earlier this year because I think its really important that this information gets out. I've never heard anyone else explain zeolite like he does, and go beyond theories with actual concrete proof of people detoxifying lead, mercury, and even aluminum, even though zeolite itself is made of aluminum. He breaks down what makes powdered zeolite different from liquid and nano products, why clean zeolite powder is not a stressful detox for the body, how it swaps beneficial minerals inside of its cage for metals, why more is better, why he prefers "catch and release" to "push and catch" protocols, the other toxins that zeolite binds to besides heavy metals, how zeolite can help your allergies, how the original use case for zeolite was for hangovers, and more.

Rick Malter is a PhD and a veteran in the space of hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) testing. He was around when it was just getting started and in the early 2000s he decided to retire from his psychology practice and devote all of his time to refining the art and science of HTMA to improve human health. In this episode he talks about Dr Paul Eck and Dr David Watts and their knowledge of Hans Selye's work on stress. He expands on how widespread magnesium deficiency is and how excess copper wreaks havoc on the mineral system. I ask him his thoughts on ascorbic acid and ceruloplasmin, where the excess copper is coming from, his thoughts on vitamin A "toxicity", vitamin D testing, zinc and copper ratio, coffee enemas, saunas, binders, Abram Hoffer and niacin, homeopathy, and more. I have interviewed several HTMA practitioners at this point and I continued to be fascinated with how they each approach it in a slightly different way. Rick does not think that coffee enemas are necessary to detoxify metals and he really focuses in on magnesium deficiency but also one's ability to retain it in the cell which requires vitamin A and potassium.

When you get deep enough into the natural health world, you learn about heavy hydrogen or deuterium. It is a natural contaminant that builds up in our body over time and stalls the nano motor in our mitochondria called the ATPase. Victor Sagalovsky of Litewater joins us once again to talk about the health benefits of depleting deuterium in the body, not only for disease prevention but also to radically extend human lifespan. He talks about the cancer connection with deuterium, how the Russians discovered it, how your body will intelligently shuttle deuterium to less important tissues, on average how many molecules of HDO are in a glass of water, and how deuterium affects our reflex time. He also talks about human photosynthesis and why he loves melanin, we get into a friendly debate about whole food vs isolated supplements, he shares his theory on what the Ark of the Convenant was, and I ask listener questions including his thoughts on hydrogen infused water, sunlight to deplete deuterium, and the ideal PPM of deuterium in our drinking water. www.drinklitewater.com www.beevitamin.com www.protiumgenerator.com My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by George Henner: https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com

The environment that we live in has a huge impact on our health, both from a materials standpoint of what the home is made out of and even the shape of the structure itself. When I began studying nutrition over a decade ago I meditated quite a bit on the thought that we are always inside of boxes and maybe thats what keeps our ability to think critically constrained inside a metaphorical box. I slept and meditated underneath pyramids for several years and more recently began growing plants and spending time inside a geodesic growing dome. I've noticed that plants grow effortlessly in there, abundant and massive, and my mind always feels more still when I'm gardening inside it. A few years ago I came across Geoship, a startup company that uses a material that took 12 years to develop, a ceramic composite. There is no metal to corrode and no wood to rot or get eaten by bugs, so it is a structure that will last for hundreds of years. Having lived in cabins for the past 5 years, I can say that those structures are inferior and will eventually become obsolete. Geoship domes are mold resistant, energy efficient (70% reduction in heating and cooling costs), have grounded floors, the walls release far infrared light, they can be built in a few weeks interior included, and best of all, they are affordable. Earlier this year I invested in this company to secure the first Geoship in Idaho that will go on top of my subterranean bunker. I am confident that this company will explode in popularity over the next few years.

Cordycepin is the main compound in the parasitic fungus cordyceps that exerts numerous effects on immune health, respiratory health, energy, stamina, libido, and more. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and recently we've discovered the exact mechanisms of how it exerts its beneficial effects. Dr Scott Sherr, COO of Troscriptions, returns to the show to talk about the various applications of supplementing cordycepin. He talks about how its an adenosine analog, high dosing it, its effects on improving sleep, its effect on decreasing inflammation, how it could help with infection, its effect on mTOR, how it can help counter negative effects from caffeine, and at the end I ask him some questions about methylene blue.

Carbon dioxide, CO2, is often referred to as a waste product of cellular metabolism, as well as an environmental problem as it relates to shifting the temperature of the earth with a greenhouse effect. Oxygen therapy is, by far, the most promoted health therapy out there that utilizes gasses. Second place would go to ozone gas, and third would go to energized noble gasses like in the Paul Harris TheraPhi device. CO2 therapy for human health is way down the list and you would be hard pressed to find it at any health spa. This is very unfortunate because in my eyes it is near the very top of health therapies, largely for its affordability, to create the biggest shift. This is largely because of carbon dioxide's organizing effect on the water and proteins inside our cells. In this episode Steve Scott, founder of Carbogenetics, talks about the many health benefits of this gas including its effects on exercise performance, wound healing, cancer prevention, energy production, protection from lipid peroxidation, bone health, the longevity connection, nutritional synergists, mood improvement, and more. He talks about his breathing apparatus and the body suit which is essentially a CO2 air bath.

Glutathione is one of the major endogenous antioxidants that is made in nearly every cell in our body. Oxidative stress occurs when the body is exposed to toxins whether its air pollution from cars, excessive heavy metals, mold, or disruptive types of EMF. Dr Nayan Patel, inventor of a transdermal glutathione called Glutaryl, explains how it quenches free radicals and how people have used it to recover faster from injury, strength training, and infections. Most glutathione products are either encapsulated, liposomal, suppository or intravenous forms. I was really impressed with how much I felt the beneficial effects of Glutaryl when I applied it twice a day for a few months so I was inspired to have the founder on the show.

We often hear about detoxifying our body and if we do hear about detoxifying our home it is only laser focused on mold or electromagnetic fields. We need hyper specialization to get to the root of problems but we also need big picture perspectives. In this episode Josh Kaye, author of "Toxic: A Comprehensive Guide to a Healthier Home", joins us to provide that zoomed-out view of all of the pitfalls in modern living and choices we can make to upgrade different areas. We talk about water filtration for drinking and bathing, mold prevention, his favorite laundry detergent, polyester clothing and alternatives, why he like stainless steel cookware, how to test the health of your light bulbs using your iPhone, EMFs, electric cars, bedding, and more.

Israel "Raven" Ruiz was introduced to the ancient art of alchemy in Taos, New Mexico. In this episode he shares stories of animals showing up in front of him dying as if they were asking to be transmuted into spagyrics. He talks about how we can learn powerful life lessons from taking them in, how this differs from homeopathy, the difference between plant, mineral, and animal spagyrics, the lessons that we can learn from the red fox, the cicada, and the tarantula. This is a very esoteric show so if you enjoy that sort of thing you will love this conversation!

In 2019 I designed a health protocol that was based on my previous 10 years of research and experience with nutrition, supplements and health technology. I recorded one show summarizing my CLF Protocol several years ago but I figured it is time to do a deep dive into each of its three parts, starting with lipofuscin. In this solo show I share information that i've never talked about nor seen anyone else talk about regarding lipofuscin and specifically its relationship to polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake and vitamin E. I talk about what lipofuscin is, who I learned about it from, what light it emits when it gets hit with ultraviolet light, why its harmful to our health, and the solutions i've found to slow its accumulation and even stimulate its removal.

John the Savage returns to the show for a coffee chat. We cover a range of topics including how homesteading has been romantasized on social media, why I don't think being completely off the grid is ideal, our trials and tribulations with gardening, John's current favorite supplements, what two things helped him get out of a funk, why he adds gelatin to his apple juice, why liposomal and rectal delivery supplements are overkill, why we both love to supplement antioxidants, and John's favorite underground Russian nootropics.

What role does genetics and the health of the parents play in a child's risk of developing a skin condition like eczema? Why is it a myth that only the mother's health matters and not the fathers in healthy child development? What causes "leaky skin"? Which foods should be limited initially when healing from eczema? Why can sunlight exposure exacerbate eczema? Abbie Bradford answers all of these questions and much more in this chat all about the skin condition called eczema specifically as it relates to children. I grew up with itching the inside of my arms until they bled and when my eczema went away acne cropped up... so I am passionate about this topic and providing resources for parents to avoid a childhood of tarnished self esteem which really affects relationship and career development. Eczema and skin conditions in general are a big deal that can really impair one's ability to live a full life.

Jon Gamble has been studying the root cause of chronic disease for over 30 years. In this interview I cover three major areas with him: Toxicity, deficiency and infection which is the subtitle of his book Mastering Chronic Disease. He uses the oligoscan along with the GI stool map and other tests to help guide people back to vibrant health. He talks about why he doesn't ever recommend copper supplementation, why zinc deficiency is such a big deal, the difference between oligoscan and other tests, what the zinc blockade entails, why magnesium is more important to supplement than calcium, which nutrient type O blood types tend to be deficient in, which mineral alcoholics are usually low in, the negative health effects of too much copper in males and females, his thoughts on mercury detox, how he uses homeopathy, and more.

Why is a woman's cycle important? Integrative Nutrition Coach and HTMA practitioner Barbara Madimenos was faced with that question when she was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 25. She talks about how she healed herself, how she hasn't met one woman that hasn't had an irregular cycle, and the importance of balancing your minerals to regulate your hormones. We talk about zinc and copper balance, estrogen excess and low progesterone, endometriosis, the power of coffee enemas, why she likes astrology, the best way to heal after taking birth control, coffee consumption tips, hair shedding mitigation, high prolactin solutions, how to recover from IUD use and more.

Enjoy this throwback show from a few years ago with Caitlyn Hartigan, creator of the Iron Protocol. In this jam packed three hour extravaganza she tears apart the argument that everyone has iron dysregulation and that nobody is iron deficient. She explains how you can be iron deficient without being anemic, why supplementing iron is not only safe but essential for many people, how iron is important for immune function, how your iron recycling system doesn't work if there is no iron to recycle, the different stages of iron deficiency, her thoughts on iron infusions, why serum ferritin is an accurate marker of iron deficiency, why she likes supplementing vitamin D, why iron overload and hemochromatosis are synonymous, and more.

The Oligoscan test uses the science of spectrophotometry to see the absorption and reflection of light from vitamins, minerals and heavy metals stored in the tissue of the palm of your hand. If it sounds too good to be true, you'll be surprised to hear the legitimate science behind it from the son of one of the original global distributors of Oligoscan, Jeff Lioon. He breaks down how the technology works in this show but the majority of it is focused on deciphering the test itself and describing all of the complex interactions between our environmental toxins, diet, lifestyle habits, and how those affect our vitamin and mineral balance. We talk about the relationship between iodine and fluoride, why kryptopyrroluria is a big deal, how we get copper toxic, the difference between oligoscan and other tests, what low vitamin B9 means, the silica and aluminum connection, what high antimony means, what high gadolinium usually means, where antimony is coming from in our environment, the excretor theory, and trends that hes seen in the over 1500 scans he's done on clients.

When people in the natural health community hear the term "Transhumanism" there is a knee-jerk emotional reaction, and some of that feeling is justified. Many of the big tech giants that have been censoring alternative perspectives are also heavily involved in the development of artificial intelligence, augmented reality and virtual reality systems. Zoltan Istvan ran for president under the Transhumanist Party and drove the "Immortality Bus" all around the United States with the goal of spreading awareness of the importance of shifting our focus away from fighting wars to using science and technology to prevent and reverse disease and even solve aging. In this episode he talks about: what the transhumanist wager is, his thoughts on ChatGPT, the replacement of jobs and potentially human relationships by humanoid robot artificial intelligence, the dishwashing robot that just came out, dystopian AI movies, solar cars, overpopulation, Neuralink, his recommendations for being healthy, thoughts on alcohol, and more.

What are the things to look for when shopping for an air filtration unit? Does the company use flashy words like "ultra" in front of their filtration media to make it sound better than it is? Do you know what the four grades of filtery efficiency is? Are higher grades always better or can they be worse for your situation? Are stand alone air filtration units even the highest choice for your situation? Did you know that your HVAC system moves 30 to 40 times more air than your $1000 HEPA filtration unit? David Milburn of HypoAllergenic Air joins me for the first time since 2019 (my first podcast episode) to talk about all of the dirty secrets in the air filtration industry. I am passionate about this topic because I see many parallels between the air filter and water filter marketing tactics. There are lots of razzle and dazzle claims without much substance behind them.

If you've been in the natural health world for awhile there is a good chance that you've heard about alkaline water ionizers, overpriced multi-level marketing machines that produce water rich in molecular hydrogen. The questions to ask are: Do those machines produce hydrogen efficiently? Does drinking alkaline water alter our blood at all? Mateo Johnson was certified by the Molecular Hydrogen Institute and founded the company Axiom H2, selling high quality hydrogen generating machines and also tablets that you don't have to dissolve in water. He explains what hydrogen is, his thoughts on browns gas, the difference between infusing hydrogen into water and the tablet products, the dirty secret about alkaline water ionizers, how long hydrogen lasts in a bottle, hydrogen for dentistry, how to use hydrogen gas for eye and ear health, the benefits of inhaling hydrogen gas, his thoughts on ozone and CO2 therapy, and why it isn't effective to sip on hydrogen water all day long.

There is a lot of confusion in the natural heatlh world when it comes to oral health care. Should we brush our teeth? Are plastic bristles the devil? Is flossing necessary? Do waterpik devices replace flossing? Do we even need to go to the dentist if we're on top of our oral game? Dr Leedia Riman is an integrative dentist that joins us to discuss all of this and more. She talks about how she discovered Weston Price and the power of nutrition for gum and teeth health. We talk about vitamin D supplementation, whats really happening when a cavity forms, the effects of smoking and acidic beverages on our teeth, her thoughts on xylitol, nitric oxide, mouth breathing, humidifiers in the bedroom, whether regular dental checkups are necessary, the reasons why you might experience pain when you go in for cleanings, why she loves ozone, fluoride versus hydroxyapatite, electric toothbrushes, tips for receeding gums, her thoughts on root canals and a ton more!

Theraphi combines several electrotherapy modalities into one, using a 500,000 volt Tesla coil, a proprietary blend of noble gases in handmade plasma tubes, and an amplifier that modulates the cold plasma field. To put it simply... it is a human charging station. Paul Harris, the inventor of the Theraphi, joins us to talk about the history of electromagnetic devices, the history of plasma energy, how our body can benefit from plasma, time reversal waves, and why he believes the Theraphi is an electro adaptogen. In the second half he also talks about regenerative agriculture, how he's going medicinal mushrooms, electroculture, and magnetoculture.

Detoxifying the body using clinoptilolite, AKA zeolite, has been a trendy topic for several years, with the nano zeolite products being the most popular. My perspective is that liposomal supplements are a complete scam, so I was thrilled to interview someone with a similar mindset when it comes to zeolite: smaller is not always better. Jeff Hoyt of Zeolite Labs breaks down a ton of myths around zeolite products, including: Do we get aluminum toxic from taking zeolite because it is made of aluminum? How is it able to act as a selective or smart binder? Is synthetic zeolite as good as natural zeolite? What is the difference between powder, liquid and nano zeolite products?

Hair tissue mineral analsyis or HTMA testing is done when you send in your hair to a laboratory and then they essentially burn it using ion mass spectrometry to create a readout on the mineral ratios present in it. This is a reflection of the mineral ratios systemically throughout the body. Matt Coffman is an HTMA practitioner that has done a lot of the same experiments that I've done as far as high dose copper supplementation and iron dumping protocols. He healed himself using HTMA principles of testing and retesting while taking strategic supplements to balance his ratios. In this interview he breaks down several of the big ratios and how they connect to hormones and other aspects of human physiology, why he thinks retinyl palmitate gets bad press, how heavy metals affect the adrenals, why he doesn't recommend taking zinc without copper, what ratio connects to your carb tolerance, which ratio connects to your thyroid gland, why supplementing calcium won't necessarily cause calcification, and more.

There was a ton of gadgets that you can use to influence your drinking water, ideally after its gone through a proper filtration system. Infopathy is in its own category. It uses "digitized substances" that are uploaded into a database which can then be imprinted into water by forming coherent domains. In English this means that you can basically take any supplement you want by just drinking a glass of water throughout the day. My mother raised me with homeopathic medicine and I view Infopathy as a kind of homeopathic alien technology. If you ever experience what its like to drink imprinted water you'll feel like you're living Star Trek land. It looks and sounds like magic but it is based on solid science going back to Italian researchers Emilio Del Giudice and Giuliano Preparatta that pioneered quantum electrodynamic theory. Whenever I hear the word "quantum" I usually roll my eyes and walk the other way but this is something that you can tangibly experience with a blind taste test using shot glasses. In this episode Anton Fedorenko talks about how it works scientifically, where it parallels with homeopathy, his thoughts on non native electromagnetic fields, Royal Rife, tips on using the Infopathy IC pad, and the upgrades that their version 3 pad received.

If you're into natural health there is a good chance that you've done an epsom salt bath, more technically known as a magnesium sulfate bath. If you're really into natural health then you have probably experience sensory deprivation floatation therapy, where you float in 1200 pounds of magnesium sulfate. Some float spa companies are touting magnesium chloride as being far superior to magnesium sulfate, and Bob Dapper of Royal Spa is here to challenge that idea. He talks about the numerous health benefits of sulfur to human biology, touching on how it improves high cholesterol, works on the lymphatic system, and increases brain function. I share my experience getting ripped off by a floatation company and why I recommend purchasing from Royal Spa if you need a new hot tub, float pod, float pool, or cold plunge.

According to Benny Wills, one of the most dangerous traps to fall into is to always expect the worst. People that become obsessed with researching everything that is wrong with the world often end up angry, bitter, and unfulfilled in life. I know and Benny knows because we've both been there. Enjoy this philosophical dive into the dangers of expecting the world to end anyday now. We also talk about how the path to being right includes being wrong, why Benny thinks the awake crowd is just as insufferable as the woke crowd, how to communicate with others that we disagree with, entrepreneurial tips, and more.

Does wearing silver embedded EMF blocking clothing harm your health? Is grounding your sheet to the wall outlet sometimes better than grounding rod to earth? What is the main benefit of grounding yourself? How do you properly use EMF blocking paint on the walls? What are beneficial things you can implement for your health when building a new home? Do EMF blocking tents and canopies work? Are electric vehicles more harmful to our health than internal combustion engine vehicles? We delve into all of this and more with Brian Hoyer of Shielded Healing. He trained at the Klinghardt Academt and is a certified Geobiologist. Brian and his team travel the country upgrading home environments to be more conducive to health.

I was thrilled to interview the youngest podcast guest i've ever had on the show. Calvin Scheller is currently 18 years old and has been studying human physiology and nutrition since the age of 13. He is self taught but he is also enrolled in college and pursuing a degree in biology with a specialization in bioprocess technology. In this episode he breaks down the subject he knows best, insulin resistance. He tears apart the conventional dogmas pushed by the ketogenic and carnivore community. He explains the biochemistry of why carbohydrate consumption is not the problem, although minimizing them for a time could be beneficial for some people, not everyone. This is a very technical episode where Calvin rapid fire explains the biochemistry of glucose and insulin and why the focus should not be on macronutrients but more on maintaining a healthy body weight and exercising regularly. I ask him several listener questions that were sent in near the end.

Austin Sneller began his journey with water by opening up coffee machines and seeing all of the nasty gunk that built up over time. He has been studying the water filtration industry for a decade and brings his expertise to Mitolife with the co-creation of the 7 Stage Water Solution, setting a new standard for quality and effectiveness. In this show we talk about what reverse osmosis means, cheaper water filters (Costco), the cost of water filters in general, what makes the Mitolife water filter so different from all the rest, and compare the Mitolife filter to popular brands such as Ophora, AquaTru and Kangen. I ask Austin listener questions including: Does he like the EWG tap water database? How important is filtering your shower water? What's the best home filtration unit? What water does he drink at an airport? Thoughts on hydrogen water? and more...

If you've been interested in natural healing for several years you've probably done a parasite cleanse. Holistic healthcare practitioner Angela Stinson has done it all from the pharmaceutical anti-parasitics to turpentine and everything inbetween. She shares her journey of being overweight, being on over 30 medications and losing her hair from cleansing too aggressively. Now she educates her clients to go slow and steady and to always ask the question before starting a parasite cleanse: Is my nervous system ready for it? In this episode she shares her thoughts on why we need parasites in our body, how anti-parasitic herbs affect our gut microbiome long term, if we have to travel internationally to get parasites, and whether she sees more iron overload or iron deficiency with her clients. She talks about why she likes bio-energetic testing, homeopathy, castor oil packs, and binders. I ask her numerous listener questions including: Does cleansing during the full moon actually do anything? Are we doomed to have parasites if we eat sushi frequently? Garlic enemas and other intense recipes, thoughts on Hulda Clark and the "Zapper", liver flukes, which foods kill parasites, is it safe to cleanse while breastfeeding or pregnant, thoughts on diatomaceous earth and psylliium husk, and a lot more.

Ideas that I was just getting into at the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020 have now reached mainstream alternative health channels. I see it as my duty as a health researcher and educator to always be transparent when new information comes to light that flips what I thought I knew on its head. Whenever I offer valid counter arguments to popular beliefs it always causes a lot of social turbulence. Most of the topics that I cover in this show are still alive and kicking. I talk about iron overload, whole food vitamin C, pro copper and anti zinc argument, why I don't block EMFs anymore, and why I'm not worried aobut cod liver oil giving me lipofuscin. I support the points I make with several scientific studies. At the end of the show I share a quote by the Joker from the movie The Dark Knight: "It's not about the money. It's about sending a message." That encompasses my work perfectly. My message is that we should always rock the boat, stir the pot, and challenge popular beliefs even if it offends people. Usually it offends the people the most that have built a reputation and following upon false beliefs. This is a nearly two hour show packed with information that you will not get from any other podcast. As I've said before... search "vitamin C" and you'll see a plethora of shows praising the safety of "whole food" vitamin C which is Mickey Mouse terminology. I was one of MANY people promoting these ideas and for the past year I have been doing everything possible in my power to tear these ideas apart.

When the homesteading gets heavy I defer Friday's show to a "Best Of" episode. This was one of my favorite conversations that i've had about water with Anton Fedorenko of Infopathy. There are so many different water structuring devices on the market but this one is in a league of its own. What I love about it is we are actually radiating the water with "non native" EMFs but actually improving its health qualities. This is why I don't like to look at anything in health in black and white anymore, ie iron bad, vitamin b6 bad, vitamin D3 bad... This is how it works: Every substance has specific electromagnetic emission that can be recorded and played back into water. This is called "imprinting" infoceuticals and is the basis for the Infopathy technology. Of course, the foundation should be clean drinking water free of all contaminants, acids and properly mineralized. After that, there is a lot you can do to water, one of the coolest things being Infopathy's glowing IC pad device. In this interview Anton Fedorenko shares the deep science behind it and gives practical advice to those that buy bottled water at the store to make it healthier.

What is yeast overgrowth and how does sugar contribute to it? What are common symptoms that you can see when you look at someone? What does drinking soda do to our blood sugar? How does saccharomyces boulardii help? Can someone eat fermented foods while they're healing from yeast overgrowth? How does magnesium help? Dr Carolyn Dean was interviewed in the early 80s with the man that wrote the Yeast Connection book. She said over 80,000 people called in to the show for help, showing how common this problem is. She talks about the harmful effect of yeast overgrowth on our mucous membranes, fluoroquinolones, tinnitus, dehydration, picometer size magnesium, why she prefers silver to oregano, her top tips for liver detox, her thoughts on coffee enemas, which neurotransmitter people with fibromyalgia are low in, the relationship between EMF sensitivity and magnesium deficiency, where she gets her calcium, vitamin C, and more.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid, also known as GABA, is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system. According to Dr Scott Sherr, dopamine and norepinephrine get too much credit when the real stars of the show that make up 80% of our brain's neurotransmission are GABA and glutamate. COO of @Troscriptions Dr Scott talks about the ingredients found in TroCalm and their new sleep formula TroZZZ and how they both support GABA production. He says why regular GABA supplements don't work, common symptoms of GABA deficiency, the effect of alcohol and benzos on GABA, why they added an extract from the Amanita Muscaria mushroom into their sleep formula, why he believes gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is wrongly demonized, potential causes for restless leg syndrome, and the health benefits of supplementing honokiol, cordycepin and adenosine.

Dr Robert Selig is a functional medicine practitioner, hair tissue mineral analysis expert, and savant in the field of personalized natural healthcare. In this interview he talks about how heavy metals affect zinc status, how it regulates pH, what percent of proteins in the human body are dependent upon zinc, which two minerals regulate the DNA auditing system, why a blood test isn't accurate for accessing zinc status, the ideal zinc to copper ratio, what happens when you supplement copper with estrogen dominance, the role of coffee enemas and sauna therapy, why he likes the niacin flush, the role of molybdenum, and a whole lot more.

There is a lot of information floating around on the internet about water filtration. Some say that distillation is the holy grail, for some its "raw" spring water, and others say it is "alkalized" electron rich water. What we want is acid free, contaminant free, and properly mineralized water. Everything else (rose quartz infused, vortexed, energetic retrainment) ALWAYS comes secondary to that. Distilled water does not remove all impurities and leaves the volatile acids in your product water. The $3,000 alkalized multi level marketing water is not even a water filter. You can spend $60 on a bottle of hydrogen tablets and achieve the same thing for 50 times less cost. Unfiltered spring water usually contains corrosive acids that can completely eliminate fish populations from a body of water but they're supposedly safe for humans to consume. In this episode I talk about the most important things to look for when purchasing a water filter and some encouragement for those that say they can't afford one. I answer listener questions including: thoughts on sole water, thoughts on kangen water, vortexing versus analemma, how to keep "the good stuff" in spring water, mountain valley water, main analytes to request in a water test, and more.
