This means that individuals have a degree of control over their risk factors through lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. Elevated blood sugar levels associated with type 2 diabetes can lead to a range of severe health complications. These include nerve damage (neuropathy), kidney failure, damage to blood vessels, increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (including heart attacks and strokes), heightened susceptibility to infections, and delayed wound healing. Contrary to common assumptions, individuals with severe type 2 diabetes may experience muscle loss and weight loss due to their bodies' inability to utilize glucose for energy effectively. This is a result of insulin resistance, where cells become resistant to the effects of insulin and cannot absorb glucose properly. In cases of extremely high blood glucose levels, the body may enter a state of diabetic ketoacidosis, where it starts breaking down muscle and fat for energy, leading to the production of ketones. This can result in a life-threatening situation if not treated promptly. [11:50] The Interplay of Overconsumption, Insulin Resistance, and Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes often begins with overconsumption of food, which raises blood glucose levels. This triggers the body to release insulin to maintain balance, but repeated overconsumption causes continuous elevation of glucose and insulin levels. With persistently high glucose and insulin levels, muscle cells may resist insulin's signals to absorb glucose. This resistance leads to the closure of insulin receptors on muscle cells, preventing glucose uptake and contributing to elevated blood sugar levels. The body attempts to compensate for insulin resistance by increasing insulin production, creating a cycle of elevated insulin levels. However, this does not effectively lower blood glucose levels, leading to further insulin resistance and perpetuating the cycle. Many biological processes, including glucose uptake and insulin signaling, are concentration-dependent. Higher concentrations of glucose or insulin can lead to increased cellular responses. However, there is a delicate balance, and excessive concentrations can disrupt normal cellular function and lead to insulin resistance and other complications associated with type 2 diabetes. [15:30] The Significance of Blood Glucose and Insulin Monitoring Monitoring fasting blood glucose and insulin levels provides valuable insights into metabolic health. While normal blood glucose levels are essential, the amount of insulin required to return glucose to normal levels is also crucial.  Elevated fasting insulin levels may indicate hyperinsulinemia, which can be a precursor to prediabetes or diabetes. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): The OGTT is a diagnostic tool to assess how well the body processes glucose. By administering a glucose drink and measuring blood glucose and insulin levels at regular intervals, healthcare providers can evaluate an individual's tolerance to glucose and the corresponding insulin response. Abnormal results, such as prolonged high insulin levels, may indicate metabolic dysfunction. Understanding familial health history can inform personalized risk assessments for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. [22:20] Unraveling Metabolism: The Dynamic Balance of Building and Breaking Down Metabolism involves both anabolism (storage and building) and catabolism (breaking down and utilizing). It's a reversible process where the body constantly builds and breaks down molecules such as fatty acids and glucose for various purposes. Lifestyle choices play a significant role in determining the balance between anabolism and catabolism. For instance, resistance training shifts the body towards anabolism by promoting muscle repair and growth, while activities like sprinting prioritize rapid glucose breakdown for immediate energy needs. While metabolism is influenced by various factors, such as hormonal balance and food choices, caloric balance remains a fundamental principle. Consuming more calories than the body expends leads to weight gain, as excess calories are stored as glycogen or converted into fat. Weight management is not solely determined by calorie intake and expenditure but involves many factors, including hormonal regulation, food composition, and psychological factors. While calorie balance is crucial, other factors also play significant roles in determining body weight and composition. [37:50] Empowering Weight Management: Tracking Calories and Activity While focusing solely on calories can be seen as a distraction by some, tracking calorie intake can provide valuable insights into dietary habits and food choices. It allows individuals to understand the caloric content of different foods and how they contribute to overall energy balance. Approaching weight management as a personal experiment can be empowering and insightful. By closely tracking variables such as calorie intake and physical activity, individuals can directly observe how their choices impact their results, fostering a deeper understanding of their bodies and metabolic processes. Increasing overall activity levels throughout the day, beyond structured exercise sessions, can significantly impact weight management. Simple actions like taking short walks during breaks or incorporating more movement into daily routines can contribute to calorie expenditure and overall health. Striking a balance between effort and results is crucial for maintaining motivation and achieving long-term success in weight management. While increasing activity levels and tracking calories can be beneficial, avoiding frustration and disillusionment is essential to ensuring that efforts align with desired outcomes. [64:45] The Power of Ketones: Enhancing Heart Health Through Metabolic Intervention The human body's metabolic processes, including the heart's utilization of energy sources like ketones, are intricately designed. Ketones, particularly when supplemented exogenously, can protect heart cells due to their efficient energy utilization. Research demonstrates the potential benefits of exogenous ketones in preventing and recovering from heart failure.  These ketones upregulate enzymes related to ketone metabolism and provide an alternative fuel source that can mitigate cardiomyopathy following a heart attack. Also, studies have shown promising results in humans with cardiogenic shock, a condition where the heart fails to pump enough blood. Ketone supplementation, particularly with KetoneIQ, has demonstrated symptom improvements, leading to further research and clinical trials. AND MUCH MORE!

[10:49] Saying Yes to Healthier Options Will Help You Replace Unhealthy Habits ·    Habits and routines drive us, but if they're unhealthy, they don't serve us well in the long term. ·    Replacing unhealthy habits with healthy ones is key to success. ·    Learning to say yes to healthy alternatives is important, not just saying no to unhealthy ones. ·    Jumping over to a healthier lifestyle can lead to a future without regret. ·    Healthy alternatives like going to the gym, swimming, and sitting in an infrared sauna can make a big difference. ·    Loving healthy habits will serve better than junk food or half-hearted attempts at healthy living. [14:28] What are some of the things that contribute to weight loss? ·    If people struggle to lose weight despite having a good diet and exercise routine, the reason may be hormonal or genetics-related. ·    Ensuring that the thyroid is appropriately assessed and optimized is crucial. ·    Increasing thyroid function can naturally and safely lead to weight loss and improve low thyroid symptoms, such as depression, constipation, dry skin, and hair loss. ·    Many people's thyroid is not adequately managed because doctors only check for TSH levels, which can be in the "normal" range but not optimal for the individual. ·    Comparing thyroid levels to shoe sizes, finding the optimal level for each individual is important, rather than just accepting a "normal" range that may not work for everyone. [32:45] How do meal timing and exercise affect your weight loss? ·    The timing of when you consume calories affects hormonal effects and energy-burning modes. ·    Eating a calorie-dense meal late at night when your body is in hibernation mode can lead to more energy storage and difficulties losing weight. ·    Shifting the timing of meals and exercise can greatly impact weight loss, such as eating earlier in the day and taking a walk afterwards or doing cardio during daylight hours when the body is primed to burn energy. ·    When we wake up in the morning, our body is in fat-burning mode after digesting dinner from the night before. ·    Skipping breakfast and doing cardio in the morning before eating can enhance fat-burning mode and create a healthier intermittent fasting pattern. [37:21] Insulin Sensitivity and Its Role in Weight Loss ·    Insulin is a double-edged sword, helpful for clearing blood sugar out of circulation but harmful in excess, which is why maintaining insulin sensitivity is crucial. ·    Insulin moves blood sugar out of circulation and into cells but also signals to create fat. ·    High insulin levels lead to a constant signal to store fat, making weight loss impossible. ·    Boosting insulin sensitivity through methods like intermittent fasting can help lower insulin levels and make weight loss more possible.

His physician warned of potential herniated discs unless he strengthened his core. Introduced to EMS training, which stimulates muscle contractions through electrical impulses, Bjoern found it intriguing. Despite initial skepticism, he was impressed by its effectiveness during his first session. Bjoern experienced a significant improvement in his physical condition after just six weeks of once-weekly EMS training. Notably, he realized he hadn't taken painkillers in a week and no longer suffered from agonizing pain when getting out of bed. Beyond pain relief, Bjoern noticed changes in his posture and overall body awareness. He attributed these improvements to the activation of dormant muscle fibers and the subsequent muscle growth facilitated by EMS training. [07:20] Muscle Matters: Exercise, Aging, and the Fountain of Youth Bjoern highlights that exercise is crucial for combating the various signs of aging, including metabolism decline, bone health, immune function, and injury prevention. He notes six out of seven antidotes to aging listed by the Mayo Clinic are related to exercise. Physical strength affects multiple aspects of life, from basic survival skills like withstanding accidents to enjoying daily activities, playing with family, and maintaining independence. Bjoern emphasizes the importance of muscle mass and body composition in enhancing overall well-being. Bjoern suggests that maintaining and increasing muscle mass could be the closest thing to a universal fountain of youth. He explains how muscle mass boosts metabolic rate, improves insulin sensitivity, and positively impacts various health markers. Bjoern reflects on his journey of improving body composition and nutrition over the past decade. He acknowledges the misinformation he once believed and emphasizes the life-changing impact of exercise, echoing feedback from others who have experienced similar transformations. [16:20] Optimizing Performance: Bjoern's Vision for Proactive EMS Training EMS technology has been used in physiotherapy for decades to reactivate muscles after injuries. It involves applying electrical stimulation to muscles via sticky pads, allowing muscle training without loading the surrounding tissue. Bjoern questions why EMS is typically used reactively after injuries when it can be used preemptively for training. He advocates for using EMS with athletes to enhance performance rather than just as a substitute for certain types of training. Bjoern's approach involves full-body EMS training, targeting major muscle groups from knees to elbows. However, particular areas, like the calves, are excluded due to safety and effectiveness considerations. Bjoern's system allows for customizing muscle stimulation based on individual needs and preferences. Users can adjust the intensity and focus of stimulation to target specific muscle groups, accommodating various fitness goals and comfort levels. [32:40] A Vision for Effortless Achievements with Katalyst EMS Technology Bjoern challenges the notion that fitness must involve pain and struggle, highlighting the subconscious economic aspect of human behavior. He suggests that people are more likely to engage in activities where they perceive tangible outcomes for their investment of time and effort. Katalyst EMS technology enables users, even those without prior fitness experience, to achieve the outcomes of intense workouts more quickly. Bjoern emphasizes the product's ability to deliver results without the traditional barriers of pain and excessive effort. Bjoern critiques the current state of fitness technology, noting that it often focuses on monitoring or tracking rather than actively assisting in the workout process.  He highlights the need for technology to facilitate and enhance the workout experience, likening it to upgrading from horse carriages to modern vehicles. [41:05] Hygienic Ease: Bjoern's Washable EMS Technology Bjoern emphasizes the importance of creating a user-friendly product, including washable electronics. This feature enhances convenience and ensures that users can maintain hygiene without difficulty. The product includes a base layer set of undergarments for direct sweat absorption, which is washed after each use. The EMS suit is hang-dried and washed less frequently, enhancing longevity and ease of care. Bjoern recommends hang-drying the EMS suit instead of using a dryer to preserve its quality. This simple maintenance practice can extend the product's lifespan and optimize its performance. Extensive wash tests have been conducted to ensure the durability of the washable EMS technology. By guiding proper washing and care, Bjoern aims to reassure users about the product's longevity and reliability. [51:30] Gratitude for Love, Family, and Continual Appreciation Bjoern expresses deep gratitude for meeting his wife, a pivotal moment in his life that he cherishes above all else. He shares a touching connection with his grandmother, who passed away before he met his wife. Her wish for him to find the right partner came to fruition on her birthday, adding a special significance to their meeting. Despite the strength of their relationship, Bjoern acknowledges the importance of continual effort and appreciation in maintaining and cherishing their bond.

[05:33] The Amazing Health Benefits of Eating Organ Meat ·       Eating organ meats provides nutrient density, including vitamins and minerals essential for the body. ·       Organ meats contain blood, fat, and other elements that were brand new to our species and contributed to the increase in brain size and development of language. ·       Our species evolved when we started incorporating organ meats into our diet, and this cannot be denied. ·       Eating organ meats is important for overall health and well-being; without them, our bodies may not have developed to their current state.  [09:42] The Problem With Keto & Carnivore: Too Much Muscle Meat! During the war, there was a protein shortage, and the government invested in a campaign to promote alternative protein sources, including organ meats. To make organ meats more appealing, they were renamed "variety meats." When women entered the workforce, there was more household income, and people started to prefer more expensive cuts of meat, contributing to the decline in demand for organ meats. People prefer muscle meat over organ meat because of the loss of familiarity and taste. Thus, local markets no longer carry organ meat, making it harder to source. The most nutrient-dense parts of the animal, such as organ meats, are considered not for human consumption and are used in other industries, which leads to a need for supplements and other sources of nutrients. [22:16] Creative Ways to Use Eat Pluck to Enhance The Nutritional Profile of Your Food! The five organ meats (liver, heart, kidney, spleen, pancreas) are important because, in the past, when tribes slaughtered animals, they would only have limited amounts of these organs, which were often given to those who were pregnant, sick, or children. Eating nose to tail is important to get the full range of nutrients from the whole animal. Eating nutrition is better than swallowing because it bypasses the digestive process and immediately responds to the body's needs. The body immediately responds to the nutrient-dense properties of organ meats, much like the way it responds to salt. Kids enjoy eating organ meats and may crave them because their bodies recognize the nutrients they provide. [39:52] Can Organ Meat Put a Dent in Disease?  ·   Eating organ meats is an ancestral concept supporting different body parts. ·   Modern diseases like dementia, Alzheimer's, thyroid issues, and lung problems may be related to the lack of consumption of organ meats. ·   Eating organ meats may positively impact overall energy and nutrition. ·       Feeling better in your body may lead to treating others better and creating a better world.

Today, I am blessed to have Philipp Von Holtzendorff here with me. Philipp is the founder and CEO at Leela Quantum Tech, also identifying as a coach, conscious entrepreneur, and energy healer. Throughout his business career, he held executive roles in various prominent companies, including T-Mobile International and T-Mobile US, where he served as Vice President. During this period, Philipp diligently worked through obstacles hindering his authentic connection with his true self. This journey led him to perceive energy fields and develop his unique healing skills, undergoing extensive training in shamanic and other energy wellness practices over two decades.   In his quest for answers, Philipp encountered other energy products, many of which offered weak or no true quantum wellness. Among the few that claimed to work with quantum energy, some did so using electric or magnetic brute force, causing energetic distress to physiological organisms. Motivated by an inner calling, Philipp set out to create cutting-edge products aimed at improving overall health, wellness, and providing significant energetic support. Collaborating with a top-notch healer network, he embarked on the development of Leela Quantum Technology, a protocol designed to operate without brute force, relying solely on pure quantum energy. In this episode, Philipp shares insights into his holistic approach to optimizing energy and well-being. He begins by stressing the importance of understanding the various energy sources impacting our health, both external and internal. He identifies stressors such as poor nutrition, environmental pollutants, and emotional stress that disrupt cellular function and diminish energy levels. Plus, Philipp dives into exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF), particularly in gas versus electric cars. He discusses the detrimental effects of EMF exposure on health and shares that his technology can neutralize 100% of these effects, even during electric car battery charging. Tune in as we chat about the spectrum of energy sensitivity; Philipp discusses how individuals perceive and interact with energy differently. He addresses belief systems and subconscious blockages that may affect one's ability to acknowledge energy's reality.

This includes external energies around us and the internal energy production within our cells. He acknowledges that various stressors, including poor nutrition, environmental pollutants, and emotional stress, can disrupt cellular function, decreasing energy levels and overall health. Philipp suggests utilizing various tools to counteract the negative effects of stressors on cellular function. These tools can include supplementation, NAD shots, and quantum energy methods. While acknowledging the effectiveness of different approaches, Philipp prefers non-invasive methods to enhance ATP production and overall energy levels. [06:50] EMF Exposure in Cars: Gas vs. Electric and Solutions for Health Philipp highlights the differences between driving gas and electric cars in terms of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). He suggests that while both types of cars have electronic components, the levels of EMF are typically higher in electric cars due to the increased use of electronics. We discuss the negative effects of EMF exposure on health, including migraines and organ health. Philipp points out that using cell phones and other electronic devices in the car exacerbates EMF exposure and its negative health effects. Philipp shares that their technology was able to neutralize 100% of the negative effects of EMF exposure, even while charging the electric car battery. However, he advises extremely sensitive individuals to avoid being in the car during battery charging due to the presence of residual energy.  [10:05] Quantum Energy: Harnessing the Power Within for Optimal Well-Being Philipp explains that quantum energy is the energy behind matter in every cell and the space between particles.  He describes it as the most natural form of energy, often called source energy or the void, and compares it to zero-point energy. Philipp discusses the breakthrough in their ability to harness quantum energy in a concentrated form, allowing individuals to access and benefit from it.  He highlights the potential for tapping into this energy for positive results on the energy system and physical well-being. [21:00] Exploring the Spectrum of Energy Sensitivity: Belief, Perception, and Objective Reality Philipp discusses the spectrum of sensitivity to energy, from individuals who can see and perceive it clearly to those who may not be as connected with themselves or their surroundings.  He explains how sensitivity to energy can manifest in various ways, including feeling EMF and sensing energy intuitively. Philipp highlights how belief systems and subconscious blockages can affect one's ability to perceive energy.  He discusses societal conditioning that dismisses the existence of energy and explains how this can create barriers to acknowledging its reality. Philipp emphasizes that the effectiveness of their products is not dependent on belief. He mentions placebo-controlled studies and suggests that one does not need to believe in the products for them to work. Additionally, he notes that objective measures, such as blood tests, can demonstrate the products' effects, regardless of subjective perceptions. [31:50] Harnessing Healer Insight for Accelerated Product Development Philipp describes their collaboration with a network of gifted healers, likening them to an "X-Men team" with exceptional abilities to perceive and work with energy frequencies. This collaboration accelerates their product development process significantly. Working with the healer network, they develop and test frequencies for their products, refining them based on the healers' insights and feedback. This process helps them gain a comprehensive understanding of the products' effects before subjecting them to scientific testing. Philipp highlights the importance of scientific studies to validate their products' effects objectively. While they have insights into the products' abilities from their work with the healer network, scientific testing provides additional insights and confirms their efficacy. [52:20] Breakthroughs in Wound Healing, Parasite Reduction, and Autism Treatment Philipp highlights a remarkable 85 to 100 percent acceleration in wound healing due to their products, showcasing their effectiveness in promoting tissue regeneration and recovery. Their products demonstrate a unique ability to reduce parasitic load in individuals, indicating their potential to support overall health and immune function. Philipp discusses a clinical trial conducted with 42 autistic children in India, where their technology was incorporated into a holistic program focused on diet, nutrition, and parasite management.  The trial resulted in a significant reduction in the ATIC score, with some children even moving off the autism spectrum entirely.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Rachel Brown & Ally Houston. Rachel is a consultant psychiatrist and functional & metabolic practitioner, while Ally is a Metabolic mental health coach trained by PreKure and Dr Georgia Ede. Rachel and Ally both work as a coach in MetPsy, empowering people with mental illness to use proven diet and lifestyle techniques to heal themselves. They offer Coaching programs for your mental health, no matter where you are in the world.  Dr Rachel started her Atkins diet when a family friend introduced it. Over the year, Dr Rachel suffered from sugar addiction. This made her stray from a low-carb diet and instead go to more intuitive eating programs. Not just did it not help her with her addiction, but it left the worst experience for her to remember. Eventually, Dr Rachel managed to go back to a low-carb diet, keto, and more animal-based nutrition. Keto helps her restore her relationship with the foods.  Ally suffered from food addiction. Even though his mom cooks delicious and nutritious foods, he still eats cereals, causing the root of his food addiction. For some reason, his weight did not become a problem until he was in his late 20s when he realized his poor metabolic health. Because of his addiction, Ally had several autoimmune diseases. He goes through the conventional way of healing, which only worsens his disease. Ultimately, all of his autoimmune diseases were gone when he changed to a keto diet.  In this episode, Dr Rachel and Ally shared how mental health problems and gut microbiome are related. They also discuss the three primary reasons for you having a leaky gut. Furthermore, they discuss why you should not just believe in evidence-based medicine. And lastly, Ally and Dr Rachel discuss why it is best to do your research. Tune in as we chat about mental stress, gut microbiome health, evidence-based medicine, and research.

[18:49] How Are Mental Health Problems and the Gut Microbiome Connected? -       Gastrointestinal microorganisms are involved because they generate neurotransmitters and produce other metabolites that communicate, such as short-chain fatty acids. -       Interaction between a wheat, protein and Zonulin component opens up tight junctions, causing leaky gut in everyone, not just celiac disease patients. -       LPS can activate immunological resident immune cells in the brain known as microglia. And then, you start a self-perpetuating loop in which immune cells in the brain generate more inflammatory cytokines and free radicals, resulting in oxidative stress and inflammation. -       Whatever happens in the gut occurs in the brain and vice versa. [23:51] 3 Lifestyle Behaviors That Cause Leaky Gut! -       Diet is the top cause of a leaky gut. -       We must be cautious of what we put into our body since it will come into contact with our gut lining and have various effects. -       Stress is the second reason you have a leaky gut because it increases intestinal permeability. -       Alcohol is the third leading cause. [26:04] How Mental Stress Creates Havoc Inside Your Gut Microbiome -       There is brain-to-gut signaling when taking in different sensory perceptions, such as watching or listening to negative news from various sources all the time. -       It's possible that stress is triggering our leaky gut. It's also possible that when stressed, we're compelled to eat in ways that aren't good for our gut. -       The tight junction system is also found in breastfeeding women, which is why casein is potentially such a massive concern for persons with autoimmune, gut difficulties, or with mental health issues. -       Information about the microbiome is still lacking. -       Managing gluten, stress, and dairy can help you have a healthy microbiome. [37:11] Do You Only Believe in Evidence-Based Medicine? Here’s What You Need to Know  -       If we take the research literature as a whole, there's publication bias that comes with it. -       The vast majority of information on diet evidence is based on associational data that does not establish one thing or the other and is flawed due to confounding factors within the populations studied. -       Imagine discovering that the truth of a subject contradicts what your academic parent, someone you care about, disagrees with. This is the most serious conflict of interest in science. -       The notion that there is one science, one evidence-based medicine, is equally absurd because practically any subject can be found where someone from Oxford and someone from Harvard are opposed. [44:28] Research and Lab Work: How to Find an Approach That Works For You -       It is highly recommended to do your research, not just blindly believe anything somebody might be saying. -        Dr Rachel also does her research on triglyceride to HDL ratio. -       Ally does a Mcdonald’s experiment wherein he only eats a huge amount of food at Mcdonald's for a month.

Today, I am blessed to have Caroline Alan here with me again. Coming from a career in the corporate world, Caroline Alan found herself struggling physically, mentally, and energetically. As a woman juggling career, motherhood, and the multitude of expectations placed on a professional woman, she was repeatedly told that her issues were “just normal.” Thankfully, she refused to accept that answer. During her journey back to health, Caroline encountered plant-based minerals and their incredible ability to support a return to natural balance in the body. As a result, she has become devoted to educating people about the benefits of mineral replenishment and the specific efficacy of plant-based humic and fulvic substances. Caroline’s research into why minerals are important in human physiology and how they work in the body has taken her deep into microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, agricultural soil science and the study of plant decomposition. In the process, Caroline has found ways to help others understand the effects of mineral depletion and why plant-based humic and fulvic mineral supplementation support healing and optimal health. In this episode, we discuss the discourse surrounding mineral deficiency and its multifaceted impacts on human health, unveiling a complex interplay between environmental factors, agricultural practices, and dietary habits. We cover soil depletion, wherein the extraction of minerals by plants for growth and their incomplete return to the soil upon harvesting perpetuates a cycle of diminishing mineral content in our food supply.  Plus, Caroline chats about the ubiquitous presence of glyphosate, a pervasive herbicide in modern agriculture, which exacerbates this challenge by compromising mineral absorption in the body, particularly in conjunction with aluminum exposure. In response to these concerns, emerging solutions harness the power of plant-based minerals, specifically fulvic and humic substances, derived from the ancient decomposition of freshwater plants. Unlike conventional single-mineral supplements, which often disrupt the body's delicate balance, these holistic mineral solutions offer enhanced bioavailability and effectiveness. By elucidating the origins and properties of plant-based minerals, we gain insight into their unique capacity to address mineral deficiency and promote holistic approaches to health and wellness.

Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  [04:15] Unearthing the Roots of Mineral Deficiency The primary reason for mineral deficiency is the depletion of minerals in the soil where plants grow. This depletion occurs because plants extract minerals from the soil for their growth, but when these plants are harvested and not returned to the soil, they are not replenished. Over time, this leads to a decrease in the mineral content of our food. Many people rely on filtered or bottled water for drinking, which often lacks essential minerals. While some bottled waters may have minerals added back in, most filtered water removes minerals during the purification process, contributing to mineral deficiency in the diet. Glyphosate, a common herbicide used in agriculture, poses a significant challenge to mineral absorption in the body. It is sprayed on crops, particularly grains, and can leach into the food supply.  Despite awareness of mineral deficiency, many people lack knowledge about effective methods to replenish minerals in their bodies. The use of ineffective supplements further exacerbates this issue, as they fail to address the body's mineral needs adequately. [09:15] Glyphosate-Aluminum Nexus: Understanding the Interplay and Implications Aluminum is highly prevalent in the environment and virtually unavoidable daily. It exists everywhere; even basic activities like breathing expose individuals to aluminum. While aluminum is abundant, the concern lies in its bioavailability within the body. Glyphosate, a common herbicide, exacerbates this issue by binding with aluminum molecules, increasing their bioavailability. This can lead to aluminum accumulation in tissues, particularly in the pineal gland, and contribute to cognitive and nervous system issues. Glyphosate mimics the structure of the amino acid glycine, which allows it to be absorbed into tissues as if it were glycine. This mechanism further enhances the body's uptake of aluminum, exacerbating its harmful effects. Plant-based fulvic and humic substances offer a solution for remediating glyphosate exposure. These substances have the potential to counteract the effects of glyphosate and reduce the bioavailability of aluminum, thereby mitigating its adverse impacts on health. [12:50] Glyphosate's Persistence: Humic Molecules as a Natural Shield Against Environmental Contamination Despite regulatory measures such as bans, glyphosate remains pervasive in the environment. Studies have shown that a significant portion of the population, including 80% of individuals in France, have glyphosate in their urine, highlighting the extent of exposure. Glyphosate operates as a full systemic herbicide, meaning it permeates the entire plant and can subsequently enter the human body through consumption. Once consumed, glyphosate is excreted in urine, contaminating water sources through sewage. Plant-based minerals, specifically humic molecules, offer a promising solution for mitigating glyphosate's harmful effects. Humic molecules possess remarkable properties, such as binding with glyphosate molecules to form a biofilm. This biofilm facilitates the breakdown of glyphosate, rendering it less harmful and recognizable as a toxin by the body. With its ability to neutralize glyphosate and eliminate it from the body, the humic molecule serves as a natural remedy for combating glyphosate exposure. By leveraging the remedial properties of humic substances, individuals can reduce the adverse impacts of glyphosate on their health. [16:50] Reconsidering Single Mineral Supplements: Embracing Balance in the Body's Natural Ecosystem A wide array of single mineral supplements are available on the market, ranging from chromium to potassium to zinc and selenium. These supplements are often purchased without understanding their purpose or necessity. Minerals work synergistically in the body, often forming balanced pairs or groups of three. When single mineral supplements are consumed in isolation, they disrupt this delicate balance, potentially leading to imbalances within the body. The human body operates like a natural ecosystem, constantly striving to maintain balance and harmony. When exposed to excessive amounts of a particular mineral, the body reacts by attempting to restore equilibrium, much like a lush forest struggling to cope with an influx of excess nutrients. Instead of viewing the body as a machine that requires specific inputs to function optimally, it's more accurate to perceive it as a dynamic and intricate system that thrives on balance and moderation. This paradigm shift underscores the importance of holistic approaches to health and wellness. [31:00] Optimizing Mineral Absorption: The Synergy of Fulvic and Humic Products for Enhanced Bioavailability and Immediate Relief Combining fulvic and humic products creates a multi-mineral solution that enhances bioavailability and effectiveness. Fulvic plays a crucial role in keeping humic wholly suspended in the solution. By altering its polarity and maintaining a specific pH range, fulvic prevents the humic from settling at the bottom of the bottle, ensuring uniform distribution and ease of consumption. Unlike pills, powders, or flavored drinks that require digestion before absorption, mineral solutions like these are 100% bioavailable upon consumption. This means they can be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes of the mouth, esophagus, and throat, providing rapid access to the bloodstream and cellular assimilation. Athletes experiencing cramps or depletion during races can quickly benefit from mineral solutions. [48:00] Nutritional Balance and Plant-Based Minerals A balanced approach to nutrition, including sufficient amino acids, is crucial for overall health. Plant-based minerals, specifically fulvic and humic substances, are not derived directly from ground-up plants. Instead, they originate from the decomposition of ancient rainforests, particularly freshwater plants, millions of years ago. This natural process forms fulvic and humic substances with unique mineral delivery and detoxification capacities. Fulvic and humic substances offer a comprehensive mineral solution with unique cellular absorption and detoxification benefits.  Understanding the origins and properties of plant-based minerals helps clarify their distinct advantages compared to other mineral sources.

Today, I am blessed to have Josh Dech here with me. He has a deep understanding of the gut-brain connection. He is an ex-paramedic, and Holistic Nutritionist, specializing in gut health. It was the successes his clients have had with complex digestive diseases, previously thought to be impossible, that got him connected to some of the world’s most renowned doctors. Since then, he’s been recruited to the Priority Health Academy as a medical lecturer, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and complex digestive issues. Gut health is known to be connected to mental health, emotions, sleep, productivity, concentration, hormones, inflammation, sickness, detoxification, cravings, relationships and more. An unhealthy gut can severely impact our lives. In this episode, Josh dives into various aspects of gut health, emphasizing its ancestral connection and modern threats. He discusses how our gut microbiome, inherited from birth and influenced by environmental factors, faces challenges from the standard American diet and agricultural practices. Josh warns against the consequences of disrupting the microbiome, linking it to the rise of modern diseases.   Plus, we touch on plant-based medicine, and Josh advocates for its potential benefits over pharmaceuticals. He underscores the influence of financial interests on healthcare choices. Finally, Josh sheds light on the critical role of stomach acid in digestion and health, dispelling common misconceptions about acid reflux and advocating for a holistic approach to digestive issues. Throughout this episode, Josh emphasizes identifying and addressing root causes rather than treating symptoms.  🥑 Get your Keto Recipe of the Week here:  http://www.ketokamprecipes.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

This results in nutrient-depleted soil and artificial food consumption, contributing to the rise of modern diseases. -       Josh warns about the consequences of destroying our microbiomes through factors like stress, overuse of antibiotics, and poor dietary choices. This destruction leads to imbalances within the gut ecosystem, causing health issues and disease. [10:55] Reconsidering Cesarean Sections and Birth Interventions for Newborn Health -       Josh highlights the increasing prevalence of cesarean sections and the potential implications for the newborn's microbiome. -       He emphasizes the importance of natural birth processes and cautions against unnecessary interventions that disrupt this natural seeding of microbes. -       Beyond the gut microbiome, Josh emphasizes the significance of other microbiomes in the body, such as those in the oral cavity, rectum, vagina, skin, scalp, and sinuses. He likens these microbiomes to neighborhoods within a city, stressing their interconnectedness and communication with the immune system and gut. -       Josh discusses how medical interventions during birth, such as cesarean sections and sterile environments, can disrupt the natural microbial seeding process. Instead of acquiring beneficial microbes from the birth canal, newborns may be exposed to artificial environments, potentially affecting their long-term health. -       Drawing on historical practices, Josh contrasts modern medical interventions with ancient birthing methods, such as squatting positions favored by ancient Egyptians. He suggests that while medical advancements have improved outcomes in some areas, they may also have unintended consequences, such as alterations to the newborn microbiome. [28:35] Plant Power: Rethinking Medicine Beyond Pharmaceuticals -       Josh advocates for using plants as medicinal agents, highlighting their potential benefits compared to pharmaceuticals. -       He acknowledges that while pharmaceuticals have their place, they often come with side effects, whereas plants can offer therapeutic effects with fewer adverse reactions. -       Josh suggests that, aside from efficacy, factors such as financial interests may influence the preference for pharmaceuticals over plant-based treatments. -       He implies that economic motivations within the healthcare industry could hinder the widespread adoption of plant-based medicine. [37:50] Gut Integrity: Understanding Leaky Gut and Its Impact on Health -       Josh explains the concept of a leaky gut, where the cells lining the intestines become inflamed and develop gaps, allowing substances to leak out into the bloodstream. -       He describes a leaky gut as a defense mechanism initially aimed at flushing out harmful substances, but prolonged inflammation can lead to bi-directional leakage, allowing toxins and pathogens to enter the bloodstream. -       He emphasizes that inflammation, including leaky gut, is a natural response of the body to heal and protect itself. However, chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues, including gastrointestinal disorders like Crohn's disease, colitis, and severe IBS. -       Josh highlights the potential consequences of a leaky gut, such as the circulation of endotoxins or lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the bloodstream. These toxins can contribute to food sensitivities, immune dysregulation, and systemic inflammation, leading to various health issues. [40:25] Deciphering Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease -       Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): Josh highlights the prevalence of NAFLD, often attributed to factors like consumption of corn syrups and junk food, as well as inflammation. -       He explains how the liver's efforts to detoxify can be overwhelmed by these toxins, leading to fat accumulation in the liver and impaired function. -       Impaired liver function can result in difficulties digesting fats, leading to symptoms like oily stools and diarrhea due to inadequate breakdown and absorption. Malabsorption can further promote inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, creating a vicious cycle. -       Josh discusses how imbalances in enzymes like beta-glucuronidase can contribute to hormonal issues and gut problems. [44:50] The Truth About Stomach Acid: A Holistic Approach to Digestive Health -       Josh emphasizes the critical role of stomach acid in digestion and overall health. -       Contrary to common belief, he points out that he has never encountered a case of excess stomach acid in his extensive experience working with clients. -       He explains that acid reflux often occurs not due to excessive stomach acid but rather due to stress, eating too quickly, nutrient deficiencies, or improper digestion. -       Taking antacids to suppress acid reflux can exacerbate the problem by further reducing stomach acid production. -       Josh advocates for addressing the root cause of digestive issues rather than just treating symptoms. He emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing the underlying dysfunction, whether it's low stomach acid, acid reflux, fatty liver, or other conditions.

[10:05] Your Health is Your Wealth ·       Conventional medicine in America is often called "health care," but it's "sick care" because it only focuses on treating symptoms and doesn't teach people how to be healthy. ·       Wake Up and Aikido camp teaches people how to be healthy and is an example of health care. ·       Eating clean and caring for your body is important for optimal health and can lead to a smaller, less leaky gut with fewer toxins seeping through. ·       It's okay to occasionally eat less healthy foods if your gut is healthy and able to handle it. ·       The goal is progress, not perfection, and developing metabolic flexibility is important for long-term health. [17:15] What to Look For When Buying Red Meat  ·       Labels on meat products can be misleading and is often a selling tactic. ·       Consumers should be aware of the terms used, such as "natural," "no hormones," "no antibiotics," "grass-fed," "vegetarian fed," etc. ·       Most cows are fed inflammatory foods like grains, which can lead to health problems for the cows and the consumers who eat their meat. ·       Some cows are even fed candy bars to fatten them up for more profit. ·       High-quality meat is important for better nutrition and anti-inflammatory properties. ·       Grass-fed and finished is the best option, as it means the cow has eaten grass from start to finish of its life. [22:05] The Worst Artificial Sweeteners vs The Best Sugar Replacements Some inflammatory artificial sweeteners are sucralose and brown rice syrup. At the same time, some recommended sugar replacements are Coconut Sugar (less refined, lower glycemic index), Pure Maple Syrup, Non-GMO Monkfruit, Dates (and date syrup), and Raw Honey.  ·   Brown rice syrup may be perceived as healthy but is often found in products with other inflammatory ingredients. ·       The recommended sugar replacements are less refined and often have better nutritional value than artificial sweeteners. ·       Stevia is disliked due to the harsh chemicals used to extract it, which can cause gut disruption for some people. ·       Monk fruit is a better alternative, as it has a zero glycemic index and does not cause the same issues as stevia. ·   Many people have noticed positive digestion and overall health changes after eliminating stevia from their diets. [28:50] Is Oatmeal Actually Healthy For You? ·   Oats can be considered in the gray area of healthy foods due to their pros and cons. ·       Most oats are sprayed with glyphosate, a pesticide that promotes inflammation and can harm health. ·       Oats are high in phytic acid, an anti-nutrient that prevents the body from absorbing necessary nutrients. ·       Too much phytic acid can lead to gut issues, inflammation, arthritis, and brain fog. ·       Organic and sprouted oats are better options for consuming oats. [47:55] The Top 5 Most Commonly Asked Questions About Food Labels ·       Consume high-quality protein from grass-fed beef, mackerel, and fish instead of relying on protein bars. Read the labels on coffee creamers carefully and choose cleaner options like Three Trees almond milk, which contains only water and almonds, cashews, or walnuts. Eating real, whole foods to improve health and well-being. Notice how certain foods make you feel and adjust your diet accordingly. Liposomal vitamin C is better absorbed into the body and can be more effective than traditional vitamin C supplements. Many people avoid bread while dieting, but it's not necessary. However, keep in mind to avoid grains and pseudo-grains. AND MUCH MORE!
