So this is a really power packed episode. You guys are in for a treat. We're going to talk about different theories of aging. We're going to talk about some of the main hierarchy of symptoms and how to really understand symptoms you might be experiencing and we're going to dive deep into sleep light and circadian rhythm and how critical that is. So I know you guys are going to get a lot out of this and be certain to check out Jason's website. You can go to beyondlongevitybook .com to check out his book Beyond Longevity and also his film where he traveled all around the world and studied some of the longest lived people, people who are aging really, really successfully, you can check that out at humanlongevityfilm .com.

When you do that, it helps us reach more people and impact more lives with this message. Thank you for doing that. Thank you for being a part of our community and let's go into the show. Well, Jason, always great to connect. And I know we've talked in the past and I had mentioned how much I really enjoyed your book. I mean, I talked about it in the intro, but I love this book, Beyond Longevity, phenomenal book and anybody that's interested in aging and longevity. This is the go to books, really the best book that I've read on that topic. And so just really appreciate your wealth of knowledge and really appreciate your overall perspective on this. And I'm excited to really, really dive into some of these topics that you discussed in the book and really starting with this idea of what is longevity, right? Because that's kind of something that most people think they know, right? But it's a little deeper than what most people really understand. Yeah, well, I appreciate that. The kind where it's really from all the work that you do, it means a lot. So thank you for that. And yeah, it's interesting. We're in such an interesting time when it comes to longevity because we have this new medicine that's coming online with stem cells and biologics, which is essentially dipping back into our own innate intelligence. So that's an interesting thing to explore. And then we have the other side of the coin, which is all this technology, which is interesting and also potentially dangerous and very kind of weird in another way. We can go down some really dark rabbit holes in that realm, and we kind of are in some ways. So we're at a very interesting nexus. I think how we think about aging and how we think about longevity is really, really important. There's historical context for aging and for longevity and for life itself as a cycle. So it's really important to, I think, really explore these things from a foundational principle. Because if we lose that, then we're going to start veering off into these random territories that are going to get us in trouble. And so for me, when I wrote the book, it's like longevity is an important thing. We want elders. We want really experienced people to guide our younger generations. There's a lot of benefits to increasing longevity on the planet. But then it's like, what is longevity? What is aging? How do we think about aging? It's a very deep topic. And I interviewed you for my film series, The Human Longevity Project. And I remember we interviewed 80, 90 health experts. You were one of them. And I asked this question to many of them, I said, what is aging? And not a single person gave me the same answer. And these are very, very intelligent people who do a lot of work in a lot of different realms in the health sciences. And so that's interesting. It's interesting the fact that we don't have a definition of biological aging. So I actually had to sit and think about that for what that is. And it's really a process. So a lot of the times when we're thinking about aging and anti -aging and longevity, what most people are actually talking about are the effects of, quote unquote, aging, the damage that accumulates over time as a result of aging. We still don't really know what aging is, what causes this process in an organism, be it salamander, a a whale, a tiger, or a human, right? But it's an innate process. So it's built into all these organisms, right? And so there's interesting things when it comes to aging itself. And so without going too deep into that rabbit hole, because we can get lost in that, it's important to recognize that damage is one thing, and aging is another thing. And I think we can slow the rate of aging. In fact, I'm quite confident we can do that. I'm not so confident that we can stop aging altogether. And I'm absolutely convinced that we can't anti -age, right? We can't go backwards. Now, look, we use these terms colloquially, right? You probably use it, I use it, right? And it's okay. But I think what I want to affect here is that the term anti -aging is really damage reversal, right? The ability to sort of turn back the clock from a damage perspective on a cellular level or an organ level. So in a sense, it's like anti -aging, but really, it's just cleaning up some damage. And we're utilizing the repair mechanisms that are built within us. But that's the important distinction is, yes, we can turn on repair. Yes, we can clean up damage. And no, we can't undo whatever aging is and whatever is actually guiding that process. Again, we don't know. Whatever is doing that, I'm confident that we sure as heck can't figure out how to undo that yet. Like that would be like Benjamin Button style, like going backwards and we start getting younger and, you know, in 10 years, I'm now 20 again. Like that is just not going to happen, right? So just want to like lay that framework down because I think it's really important as we have these discussions about longevity, what it is we're really talking about. And I think it is slowing the rate at which one ages and or cleaning up damage that has already accumulated. And we can do that to an extent because we have the mechanisms built within our biology. We have that magic within us. That's what's cool. Yeah, that's really good. I mean, we know that damage is going to happen. It happens to all of us. In fact, actually, it's to some degree, it's necessary. You know, it's a hormetic stressor that creates adaptation and creates a level of resilience with our body. So we know the damage is going to occur. We can't get around that. So then, you know, the other factor is how well we respond and recover. So I've heard the term, you know, healthy aging is really successful adaptations to the stressors that we're under and how successfully we're adapting. Absolutely. And it's a balance, right? Like if we lose this ability to destroy cells to, in other words, create death on a micro level, then we have cancer, right? So so we actually want cells to die. We need cells to die. We need mitochondrion to die, right? And that's a really critical aspect. In fact, there's a lot of longevity researchers that are in the mitochondrial sciences that are in the cancer sciences that are looking at these sort of rates of how much apoptosis do we want? How much autophagy do we want, right? If we have too much of something, it's bad. If we have too much of another thing, it's also bad. So there's a there's a dynamic balance that is always occurring inside the body. And this becomes the art form, if you will, of how do we do this throughout our lives, knowing that this is going to happen. We want it to happen. We want to actually encourage it to happen. And a lot of the things that we look at in the health world, right, when it comes to, again, exercise, sunlight, fasting, certain foods, these are all hormetic stressors, right? In other words, they are damage causing. They are they're innately creating a pressure on the system, right? Some sort of selective pressure, adaptive pressure that the that our organism has the amazing ability to both sense and then and then adapt and modify in order to meet that stressor, right? So that's what's really, really amazing about our human organism. And yet we push it too hard. Then it gets out of this hormetic zone and it gets into the straight damage, right? And yet again, just like if I were, well, actually, it was at the gym a few months ago and sliced my finger up and had to go get stitches and all that, right? And it was like, it looked like it went through a meat grinder. I mean, the nail was hanging off and I'm like, Oh my God. And yet the doc comes in there, throws in like four stitches through the nail bed and all this, but my finger miraculously heals, right? And right now there's a lot of scar tissue in there. So there's, there's some reorganization of the tissue itself, but over time, it's going to go back to a normal finger, like pretty much all the way, right? Like that's remarkable. So we have this intelligence within us. So no matter how much damage we cause, we can almost recover from anything. Like that's, what's really remarkable. And the younger that we are, because there's something important about youth itself, right? The amount of STEM cells we have, the, the, all the growth factors, all the magic that is within a young life form, there's vitality in there. Um, that does wane over time, right? That guy is part of the aging process, but when we sort of make mistakes early in life, we can still come back from them, right? So this is really remarkable. And that's, what's worth acknowledging here is that there's, it's really important to remember that there's an innate intelligence. There's a built in magic to us, right? And to honor that, to respect it and not sort of try to play God in every turn, because it gets us into trouble, right? To really trust the inbuilt humanity is really, really important in this process.

And I was just enthralled with these stories of these people that gave their life for the gospel. And it caused me to and this is what I write about in my books to put, you know, the five most persecuted, closed nations in the world. I was like, I want to go there. I don't want to preach the gospel. Well, today I've been to four out of the five, you know, and on that list, you know, is North Korea, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran.
Art Beauty
A highlight from Viktor Michael: Luxury Skincare Designed for Post-Injection Recovery
"This is the Art Beauty podcast where we are always reaching for truth in beauty. Remember, the brands on here are not paying to be here, so we get to ask the questions that you want answered because you deserve to be informed so you can make the best decisions for yourself. With that, I'm Amber. I will be your host today. And my fabulous co -hosts are Chase Sim and Nadia Kozlova. They are the founders of Victor Michael, a line that is created just for post -injection care. We're going to be talking all about that. But before we do, welcome to the show, ladies. Thanks for being here. Thank you, Amber, for having us. Where are you? Where are you guys located in the country? We're in Seattle, Washington. Okay, great. And now, you know, before we get into these products, because I do want to talk a little bit about post -injection care, why it matters, what's going to sort of set this apart. But you both have a very interesting and sort of long history in the beauty market. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Absolutely. I was wondering, I was looking at that, I was like, okay, usually that's cute. So Nadia and I have been in the medical spa industry for over 23 years. We opened up our own three clinics back in 2010. So we've had the pleasure of seeing the bad, the good, the ugly from all aspects of the med spa business. So we're just really lucky to have entered this industry and this space back when we did. And Nadia, where were you guys? Just the owners, like it's Cucumber, right? Was the name of your med spa? Cucumber and Lounge. Yes, Cucumber and Lounge. And were you both aesthetic? Like, were you nurses? Were you doing injections? Or were you sort of the brains behind the spas? Believe it or not, we just came up with this amazing brand. We've been in medical aesthetics for 23 years. A side note, a fun note is that we actually were one of the first people introducing Botox and injectables into the market back in the days when nobody knew what these injectables are all about. In the beginning, I didn't even know how to pronounce it the proper way. So it's been a long, long journey, but we're not injectors. We're not estheticians, although we probably were in the past life at some point. But we know how to do it. We just don't practice. Gotcha. And you've probably, Shay, seen thousands, if not tens of thousands of injections being done. Oh, absolutely. And having them done, yes. So let's talk a little bit about injections. When we get things like Botox, I've had Botox myself before. I know bruising is common. What are some of the other symptoms that you were really seeing people have in your med spas? I think, I mean, it can get as bad as it can potentially get. We are talking bruising, swelling, inflammation. And that's all without the potential of contraindication, right? Because that can happen too. But just the basics. If you get your lips done, it looks like a murder scene at some point the next day. And we have some photos to show that. You will swell up. We don't care how amazing your injector is. This is what we always say is that injector could be the most amazing person and having the most amazing technique. But that's just how the body is wired. This is just how we respond. So even in our clinics, we say, hey, we're awesome. You will swell up. You will bruise up. But now you got a tool to work with. You know, I've got to be honest. So I work with New Beauty magazine as well. And one of the doctors had pitched us and said, hey, Amber's never had lip injections. What if we did a first time lip injection video with her? And when I saw what the recovery is like for that, I said, no way. I'll just deal with my thin lips. Because really, no matter what, I haven't seen anybody who doesn't swell. And the swelling can be very vast. And that kind of lasts, what, three to five days, Shay, would you say? It could be three to five days up to two weeks. So like who doesn't want to go out? And it looks like you've got punched in the mouth or like you went to a really bad injector at first, correct? I mean, they swell. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It could be terrifying. It could be very minimal. And it could be pretty terrifying. You know, and Nadia, I know too, whenever I go get Botox, for me personally, I make sure I do not drink anything. I know they say for 24 hours before. But for me, I found that if I don't do it three to five days before, that's when the bruising really has a big difference for my personal skin. Have you found that kind of across the board? Oh, absolutely. Before coming up with Victor Michael, and that's kind of what led us to it, is that we know all the tips and tricks on how to make you go with less swelling, less bruising, so no drinking. And I understand what you're saying. Because I would have to literally do it for like a week prior to just to get my body prepared to it, right? And still, if they get a little blood vessel somewhere, I still bruise up right on the spot. So you kind of know walking out of there what's going to happen. Yeah. And you know what? The more I'm thinking about it, it is more like a week if you want no bruising. But for injectables like fillers, I'm sure that's a little bit different, correct? You probably have to have a little bit different. Shade, for people who are listening and who might be considering injections, without getting into specific products, do you have any tips for people at home for things that they can do to help minimize the swelling? Absolutely. So you want to definitely stop all supplements, just not knowing exactly what supplements can trigger the bruising and the swelling. So we always advise just stay off of everything for at least 24 hours, right? Next thing is don't be afraid to start taking some Arnica or Arnacare before. And of course, obviously, we can get into other products and everything. But prepping the body when you know that the needle is going to be hitting the skin. It's inserting the skin. And this is kind of what we go back to. It doesn't matter who your injector is. A needle is puncturing the skin. We are causing a wound. And anything to prevent that wound, such as taking an oral Arnacare, that's typically what we would have recommend or some bromelain. And then after, just don't touch. Don't touch the skin. And everybody wants to touch. Everybody wants to remold. And they're like, oh, I can help with swelling or something. It really comes down to just take the injector's direction and try to prevent by not taking anything as far as supplements. Maybe no alcohol prior. But that's all you can really do. And listen to your injector. Yes, absolutely. And of course, it goes without saying, no smoking. Don't go out in the sun. All these things that you should probably know better. But sometimes we need a gentle reminder, right? That's okay. So prior to having skincare or Victor Michael, which is a skincare line designed specifically to help minimize this sort of post -injection, bruising, swelling, what was our only options? Ice? That's pretty much it. So and that's why that was sort of a hard question to answer. Because your really only option was stop taking supplements. And here's your ice pack. And here's some Arnacare. Those were your options. So Shay, what was it that made you the sort of the lights which go off and say, well, we need something? And then how did you figure out what you needed to do? So being on the backside and the front side of medical spas and injections in general, right, we work with the patients first and foremost. And the number one deterrent when it comes to injections is the fear of downtime. And anybody will walk in, I want fillers, I want Botox. But the second question that always follows up is, what is my downtime? I have an event schedule. We have holidays coming up. My husband's going to be gone on a work trip. How do I schedule this in? I got three days to recover. So in our world, if you have post care for lasers, you have post care for peels, you don't have post care for injections. Why is that, right? After 23 years of Botox being introduced to the market, Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast being introduced back in 1999, 2000, why don't we have a pre and post injection care recovery system, right? So what we've done is we've taken what all of our amazing injectors have given our customers. That is the directions of go to Rite Aid, get your RNA care, go to the next Rite Aid or Target, go get your bromelain, go pick up whatever you can do to help prevent bruising, swelling, inflammation. So we took this recipe list that we were sending all of our customers to, and we said, let's put this in a bottle. Let's make this magic happen. Let's figure this out. What can we do? That's where the experiment started. And it worked. And we're like, holy cow, this is amazing. We need to now take it to the next level. So then that's how Victor Michael was created. Amazing. And Nadia, Shay mentioned some of the ingredients, but can you tell us a little bit more about what decided you to put into these formulas? So we've got two products here. What goes in them? What is sort of the magic, the secret, and the sauce? So the secret of the sauce is our patent pending injection care complex. We're obsessed with it. If I could, I want to bathe in it. It is a combination of Arnica, Dragon's Blood, Babassu oil, and bromelain. And in the serum, you have it at the highest levels where Arnica is at 15%. And this is probably the purest, the most amazing thing you could do for your skin. It's a phenomenal serum. I call it my little liquid gold, and I use it every single day, although you don't have to, but it's just the purest forms of all these amazing ingredients combined. Yeah, it's so good. It's beautiful. Yeah. What's funny is that it's now trending for a makeup primer. So who would have known that we're going to do that, right? Because it goes so well in your skin. We have formulated with everything with EWG in mind. So everything is great. It doesn't leave any of the residue on the skin. It goes on like it's a matted finish. So it's just really good for you. It's so funny that you said that because when I tried it the first time, first of all, I love the way it smells too. When I tried it the first time, to me, I really got this feeling. I was like, oh, this feels like a primer. It's hard to sort of tell here, but it almost has that smooth, sort of like a siliconey base, which I love that's perfect for makeup. Good to know. So is this something that people should be using only for injections or is it skincare that you can use all the time? Shae, do you want to add? Absolutely. What we consider, Victor Michael's sort of the beauty blender of the makeup industry. We blend in with every single skincare, first and foremost. So it doesn't matter what skin regimen that you're already using. We could just sneak that little serum right in there. Two is you absolutely can use this without injections. So when we're talking about the injection care complex and those main ingredients, not only are those main ingredients in the formula, but we've also added a ton of other resources in there as far as antioxidants go to help protect the skin, hydrators to keep that skin super moisturized. So what we're noticing is that your skin just feels amazing before and after, and people are continuing to use the product way after. Unfortunately, we have a lot of people sending us a lot of UGCs about, oh my God, we're using this for a sunburn. We're using this for some dry skin. And we're like, can we focus on injections? Right. Well, listen, it's good though, if people kind of understand and like they're falling in love with it for reasons beyond injections, because for most of us, injections are like every three to six months. So you want something that maybe people could use a little bit more. By the way, I love the packaging and I love the names of this. So taking this back, there's only two products in the line right now, right? The serum and the mask. So this is the Chow for Now mask. Tell us a little bit about what's in this. So the mask is a callan clay based mask. It has ginger root extract, apple fruit extract. It has some watermelon extract. It also has some red illness in there. This mask is a recovery mask. You can pre -treat with the mask too, but it soothes on contact. It cools and calms the skin. Oh my gosh. If you just put it on, you feel how it just chills and really just soothes. So imagine getting your fillers done and you are just, you're inflamed, you're sore, you're tender, and you put that mask on and it's like, oh, this feels so amazing. We have people who sleep in this mask and we're like, okay, yeah, I need my mask. It's okay. They sleep in it. I feel like it would get all over my pillowcases. It would be everywhere. I'm a tosser turner. Right? Is it even on when you wake up? I don't know. But we use it also called the Zoom Ready mask now. That's sort of what everyone's using because when you wake up and you're puffy, so regardless of injections, you fill that mask on and it just really helps soothe the skin. So it's pretty amazing. And Nadia, is there a right way to use this? So I was looking because it's not just, it is post -injection care, but you actually should start using this before the injections, correct? Can you tell us a little bit about the right way to use the system? Absolutely. You can. Well, if you're not me and using it every single day, then what you should really be doing is getting ready for your injections, right? So you can start it as soon as three times prior to the injections. And then you can technically pre -treat with both the mask and the serum. But we kept it super simple because we didn't want to have these crazy instructions for people to get confused with, right? So start with the serum three days prior to get your injections. And then a few hours later, start using your serum again and then add the mask as a booster. For comfort, you can actually stick the mask in the refrigerator, get it a little more cold so it's a little better for you, but it also has some built -in cooling in there. So it would go as well just as is for you. So just follow up with the serum and the mask and then use it as needed. Typically within three days, you're good to go. But if you needed to use it for a little longer, then just continue using as needed. And is the mask a daily use or is that kind of used like once after the post -injection and then maybe just keep it up with the serum? We would recommend using it morning and night. Yeah, for myself, when I get injected, I blow up, guys. I swell up, I blow up. We're chasing inflammation the second that needle gets into my skin. So I'm one of those really crazy patients with a lot of anxiety that goes into that chair. So I start using the mask maybe every two, three hours on the first day, yeah. And then afterwards, just maybe at night, morning and night, that's what the instructions say, but as needed, I would say. So definitely more than just twice a day. Amazing. And now, Shay, is there any thoughts? I imagine that you can probably use this around the lips. It might not be super comfortable to be putting serum and mask on the lips. We started talking about lips. Is there anything that you're thinking of specifically for lip care? Absolutely. So actually, our lip product will be out in the fall. And it's actually one of our very first SKUs we started working on. And it has probably been the most challenging because to try to get all of our amazing active ingredients in a beautiful lip product and not compromise the efficacy has been the biggest challenge. And we've nailed it. So we're finally in the stage to get this ready for launch. So we're really excited for lip. I have it on right now. I wear it every single day. It's a beautiful neutral color. And the lip name is called Nipple Nude. Oh, so it's actually going to be in a color as well. It's a very, very mauve -y, nipple nude tint. Nipple nude. I love that. So ladies, I have to ask, if people are interested in finding your products, where should they go? Well, there's a few places they can find us at right now. Obviously, our website, victormichael .com. Victor was a K. And then we're also launched with Moda Burandi. We're incredibly excited about it, as well as Shen Beauty out of New York. So you can find us on Moda Burandi on our website. And then we have a ton of retailers that we are aligning with as well for later launch. You know what? Before I let you go, I forgot the most important thing. What have been the results of this? What have people said after using this? Has it reduced the time? Do you have any sort of concrete facts on that or figures? We have actually done a perception study, blind study testing. And we had scored up in the 97, 100 % consumer test panel saying that has been the number one best pre and post injection care they've ever used. 97 % of the panelists said that by day two, their redness, swelling, inflammation has been reduced by over 50%. So yeah, our studies have been just absolutely mind blowing. But let me just share. Amber, the number one feedback that we get and that we are absolutely in love with is the testimonials that we received from the consumer panelists that we got after the study. And they said it was life changing. That having a product like this going on their injection journey for them to know that they have something, because sometimes it's just more than just the vanity, right? It's all about just how they feel. And for them to now get injections and to know that they have something to help comfort, to reduce the swelling, not because somebody is looking at them, but because the way it makes them feel, it has been life changing. So that has been the best feedback we've received. Well, I love to hear that. Always exciting to see new products coming into the market. And thank you for being sort of having the foresight to think, hey, this is a need that we need to fill, pun intended, and that we've done that.

Fresh update on "inflammation" discussed on The Eric Metaxas Show
"Yeah, he's not a universal energy force, principle, consciousness, something like that. I mean, he is a consciousness, he's a self-reflective being who acts in the world. And also, something I point out which is so significant, and this has to do with the philosophy of language, is that God is a God who speaks. He speaks truth into the world, and the great Carl Henry, with whom I'm sure you're familiar, had a lot in his six-volume God Revelation and Authority on the God who speaks, the God who speaks and shows. And compare that to Taoism, for example, in the Tao teaching, it says the Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao. Well, that should have been the end of the book right there, because the Tao cannot be spoken, the Tao cannot be written, the Tao cannot be cogitated, the Tao just is a big question mark. But that's not biblical religion. God is a God who thinks and acts and speaks, and he speaks in ways that are intelligible. And communication is vital to human flourishing. You know, if you can't communicate well with your spouse, with your child, even with your pet, you can't get the point across to people, or animals in some cases, then you're just in the dark. We're going to hit pause there. We'll be right back. I'm talking to Dr. Douglas Groth-Heiss. I will spell it when we come back. Tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated Relief Factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug-free ingredients, and each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. If you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three-week Quick Start discounted to only $19.95 to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more on one of them. Go to ReliefFactor.com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer.

We talk all about the best advanced nutrition strategies to reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. There's a lot of things you can do if you are looking to lose weight, if you're looking to improve your blood sugar sensitivity. We know insulin resistance is at the root of all chronic inflammatory conditions, but there's a lot we can do from a nutrition perspective. We go through that in this interview. I talk a lot about intermittent fasting and how that helps improve mitochondrial function, helps improve blood sugar stability and turn on fat burning. We talk about how to improve your stomach acid, bile flow, pancreatic enzymes, so you can reduce the amount of endotoxins that are released from your gut and into your bloodstream that drive up inflammatory activity in your body. So this is a really powerful presentation showing you exactly what you need to do to stabilize your blood sugar, to burn fat for fuel and reduce inflammation. If you know anybody that's dealing with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, perhaps they're overweight looking to lose weight or they're obese, please share this episode with them.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Reversing Type 2 Diabetes Summit. I'm your host, Dr. Beverly Yates, MD. It's my distinct privilege and honor to interview a wonderful colleague of mine, Dr. David Jockers. He's been a leader in many aspects of health and continues to help people have clarity about their health. One of the things that's so interesting as we do all the episodes here for the summit is I'm trying very consciously to give people different points of view and different aspects of what it takes for blood sugar success to be well. So with Dr. David Jockers, we're going to introduce him in just a moment here. He's a doctor of natural medicine and runs one of the most popular natural health websites online in drjockers .com and has gotten over a million views for monthly visitors and his work is really popular. It's been seen on shows like The Dr. Oz Show and Hallmark Home and Family. He's the author of the best -selling book, The Keto -Metabolic Breakthrough and also The Fasting Transformation. He's a world -renowned expert in the area of ketosis, fasting, brain health, inflammation and functional nutrition. He also hosts his popular Dr. Jockers Functional Nutrition podcast. Be sure to look up his work, check out what that he's offering. Dr. Jockers, welcome to our summit. Thanks so much, Dr. Beverly. Great to be on with you. Yeah. You know, I've really been excited for our talk because I think that there are so many ways in which people can eat and nourish themselves and some things are certainly more helpful or successful when it comes to blood sugar control and glycemic regulations than others. So with that in mind, let's dig in right away here. So please, if you would share with us your perspective here, what is inflammation and how does it develop? Yeah. Inflammation is just a natural process of healing. In fact, it's actually designed to help protect our body from some sort of chronic systemic infection and so, well, not chronic infection, but some sort of systemic acute infection from killing us quickly. And so I think we look at the history of mankind. More people have died from infections that got into our bloodstreams, bloodstreams spread throughout our body, went into major vital organs and killed us is what used to kill most of our ancestors. And so our body has created this inflammatory process to help protect against that. So the infection that gets in doesn't get into our lungs and cause pneumonia or our nervous system and cause meningitis. And so in order to do that, we created this inflammatory process to keep basically infection under control. And it's also part of the healing process. We break down damaged tissue and we try to remove that in order to build new healthy tissue. So for example, if we sprain our ankle, we're going to break down that tissue and try to rebuild new healthy tissue in that area. So inflammation itself is life saving. The issue is that it should be turned off when the appropriate area is healed. And so in our society, we have certain vectors that are turning up inflammation. For example, one is called leaky gut, right? So when somebody has leaky gut, there's damage, micro damage to the intestinal lining. And every time that person's eating food, particularly food that causes more gut irritation, they are further tearing that gut lining and they're not really allowing their body to heal properly. And therefore, they're spewing out bacteria and endotoxins into their bloodstream through that lining, through that hole. And that's driving up inflammation in the body because the body thinks that it's under attack from some sort of systemic infection or some sort of basically infectious process that could be life threatening. And so we've got to do what we can to get inflammation under control in our society. And so I think about it like a fire in a fireplace. You know, if the fire is on in the fireplace, it's great. It warms the house. You know, it creates a great environment, an ambiance. However, when we dump gasoline on the fire, right now it spreads on the walls and starts to burn our home. And obviously that's when it's a major issue. And so in our society, we have lifestyle habits that are dumping gasoline on the fire and causing us to burn up our home. And we just don't really understand it. We don't realize that's actually what we're doing to our body. And then we later, you know, after doing this for years and years and years, we get diagnosed with the chronic disease. But this is many years of chronic inflammation, damaging cells, tissues and organ systems of our body leading to, you know, that disease diagnosis. Absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you for laying that out so clearly. You know, it's so interesting in clinical work, sometimes it comes up. People are like, this just happened to me overnight, thinking that their body has attacked them or betrayed them and that their diagnosis has come on all of a sudden when in reality, nope, this was years in the making. So thank you so much for pointing that out for us. So anyone listening to this, if you have an inflammatory problem, please know. It took time for it to develop and it will take some time for it to heal. The good news is, if healing is possible, that it's likely to be a lot faster compared to the silent onset process. It's like too bad. It would be great if our body, as we get more and more inflamed, gave us a sound or a noise or maybe we turned polka dotted or something so we can know that something's going on here, you know? Yeah, for sure. And many times people do have chronic symptoms that are giving them a warning sign. And we just ignore it in our society, right? It's kind of like a check engine light goes on in our car. Typically we know, okay, I need to bring this in and get it looked at. But in our society, if we have headaches, chronic headaches, if we have chronic gut pain, if we have chronic joint pain, if we have skin rashes, acne, eczema, if we are gaining weight and we try some lifestyle strategies and we're just not losing weight, if we're gaining weight and we can go on and on, in our society, oftentimes the first thing we do is we go right to some sort of medication or we try to just ignore it. It's like we just let the check engine light stay on or we take some duct tape and just kind of stick it over it and pretend that everything's okay with the car. And that's really what we're doing. We're not actually getting to the root cause. Exactly. So that brings me to my very next question for you, which is this. What are some of the root causes of inflammation and how can this be measured quantitatively with lab testing? So when we look at root causes of chronic inflammation, one, and this is what you're really addressing in this summit, is a diet and lifestyle that is not right, right? So high blood sugar and insulin resistance, primarily driven by the food that we're consuming and lack of exercise, right? Lack of movement, food that we're consuming, obviously stress plays a role. So high stress, poor sleep hygiene and poor sleep quality. Sleep quality is super important. We've got to make sure we're sleeping really well when we are sleeping, but also proper hygiene when it comes to sleep. That plays a big role with our sleep quality. For example, shift workers, they might sleep eight or nine hours, but because they're sleeping at the wrong hours that are not right with, you know, humans, natural circadian rhythm or we're supposed to be sleeping at night, they tend to have higher levels of blood sugar and insulin resistance compared to people that are sleeping the same amount of hours and working kind of a normal shift and then sleeping overnight. So those are major factors. And then beyond that, we have things like chronic infections. So we know that when we have different infections, whether it's a candida overgrowth in our gut, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, H. pylori infections in our stomach, parasite infections, Lyme disease, things like that, that all drives up inflammatory processes in our body. Chronic overload of toxicity. All of us are exposed to chemicals in our air, water and food. So all of us have levels of toxicity coming into our system. But if our drainage and detoxification pathways are working properly, we should be eliminating a good amount of those and keeping our toxic bucket under control. And so we all have kind of like a toxic threshold. And so if we keep things under that threshold by keeping, you know, by limiting our exposure to toxins and then by allowing our body to detox and drain effectively, then, you know, that doesn't drive inflammation. However, if we're consuming lots of toxins from the food, we eat the air, we breathe the things we're putting on our skin, the water we're drinking, and then we're not doing things to help improve our lymphatic system, our liver, our gut, our kidneys. Right. We're not we're not peeing. You know, we should be urinating. Right. We should be peeing out toxins. We should be breathing them out. So respiration, perspiration, that's sweating, urination and defecation. Right. So we should be peeing, pooping, breathing. And sweating out these toxins. If we're not doing that, then our toxic load goes up, goes over that threshold, drives inflammation in the body. So toxicity is a big factor. You know, I mentioned stress. There can also be things like post -traumatic stress disorders. Right. So where somebody's had major trauma and their body never really recovered from that trauma and they're kind of reliving that trauma. Maybe somebody that was a war veteran or perhaps they were sexually abused or something along those lines. Right. They may relive those traumas on a regular basis, driving up inflammation in the body. So all of these things need to be addressed and and considered. Somebody might be living in a mold toxic house, right, breathing in mold and mycotoxins on a daily basis. They're trying to live a healthy lifestyle, but they're constantly overloading their their system with toxins. And so we've got to be able to look at all of those factors and make sure that we're addressing those to keep inflammation under control. Now, when we're measuring inflammation on labs, there's some easy labs that we can look at. You know, you can get done on blood work. For example, one of the most common is high sensitivity C reactive protein. CRP is a protein that our body, our immune system produces in response to inflammation. And, you know, so long as you don't get a false negative, like if you work out really intensely right before you get your blood test done, your CRP will be through the roof. That's actually a healthy level of inflammation, because after we exercise, we have inflammation to help our body heal and recover. So normally you want to not work out roughly 48 hours before getting the test done, ideally at least 24 hours. So you get the right measurement and your HSCRP should ideally be under one and really as close to zero as possible. And so typically it's not flag tie unless it's up over two or three, somewhere in that range. But anything over one is a sign that there's underlying inflammation there. And that's something that we definitely want to look at and address. So that's a big factor. You know, I know in this in this summit, I'm sure you've got people talking about things like hemoglobin A1C. We know hemoglobin A1C, that's a sign of the glycation process or basically when a sugar molecule binds to a major protein, like in this case, when it binds to hemoglobin, major protein that helps bring oxygen to the cells in the body and denatures the hemoglobin. And so it causes a sticky protein process. So we should have ideally like the optimal range really is is really under under 5 .2 on the hemoglobin, 5 .2 percent under. And so typically in our society, nothing is flagged until it's up over six, up over six percent. I like to keep mine under five, right? Between four point five and five. Some are in that range to make sure that my hemoglobin, my red blood cells have great capacity to bring oxygen to the cells so I can create the cellular energy I need to really thrive. So hemoglobin A1C is a really good marker. There's another one actually that you can test, too. It's it's it's called a novel marker for systemic inflammation. It's called GlycA, right? And so it's also a marker of glycosylation and again, a sugar molecule binding to proteins. In this case, GlycA looks at proteins particularly involved in the immune system. And so when that's elevated, I like to see it between one hundred and three hundred. Some are in that range, more closer to one hundred when it's up over three hundred. We know that's a sign of systemic inflammation. In fact, there are some individuals that will have normal HSCRP, but we'll see the GlycA elevated. And so that's a really good it's a novel marker. They've just been doing a number of studies on that, really starting just in the last five years. Very interesting marker. We know, for example, statin drugs will have a cholesterol lowering medications can have a mild anti -inflammatory effect that may bring CRP down, but they don't bring GlycA down. Whereas a lot of lifestyle strategies that you're talking about on the summit will help bring both of those markers down. And so that's a that's a really important thing to be looking at. Another key marker is LDH, lactate dehydrogenase, which is part of our natural energy, you know, our glycolysis and Krebs cycle. It's kind of a Krebs cycle glycolysis intermediary enzyme. And so when that's elevated, it's a sign that there's inflammation, particularly heart tissue related as well as liver. Right. Could be related to liver. And speaking of liver, liver enzymes are another really good marker. So when we're seeing liver enzymes like ALT, AST, GGT, when these when these are elevated up over roughly up over 25, that's a sign that there's inflammation affecting the liver cells. And then based on the ratios, for example, if ALT is real high, AST is kind of in the normal range, roughly 10 to 25 in that normal range. We know that inflammation is really affecting the liver when AST is high and ALT is more in the normal range or a lot lower than AST. We start thinking about that inflammation affecting muscle tissues or affecting the heart in particular. So that's a key marker for that. When GGT is real high up over 25 again and the AST and ALT are lower than the GGT, then we start thinking about biliary tree, gallbladder, bile ducts, that region. So it kind of helps us understand more of where that inflammation may be located. So these are just some of the markers. You know, if you get a good a good look, you know, you can also look at just a lipid panel, like where you're looking at your LDL, which is considered the bad cholesterol, your triglycerides, your HDL levels. We like to see the triglyceride to HDL ratio. If there was one thing I was going to look at on a lipid panel, I think all the markers can have some importance. We can get some good clinical data from all those markers. But if there was one marker I think is most important to look at, it would be the triglyceride to HDL ratio. So how many triglycerides, which are basically free fatty acids that our body can use as an energy source that are circulating in the bloodstream versus the high density lipoproteins, which are a carrier molecule that helps bring fats, lipids, all different types of molecules back to the liver from the cells. And so when we're looking at that ratio, we ideally should be under two. So under two parts triglyceride to HDL, roughly close to one. And that kind of close, as close to one as possible, one part triglyceride, one part HDL, like to see that triglyceride level certainly under a hundred. OK, and we look at that. That is a key marker for insulin resistance and inflammation. If your triglyceride to HDL ratio is up over two, if your HDL is under 50, you know, triglycerides are up over a hundred. You know, definitely a sign of insulin resistance and inflammation taking place in the body as long as the test is done fasting. Right. We always want to make sure with the lipid panel definitely can be affected if we eat a meal right before we we get that lab done. But that's a really key marker to look at and helps us understand how well our body's responding to getting nutrients into the cells. So when triglycerides are real high, we're not good at burning fat for fuel. We've got all these extra fats out in the cell or outside in the bloodstream. And those fats can become denatured and cause more reactive oxygen species and drive up oxidative stress and inflammation in the system. So all very important markers to be looking at. A lot of these tests are not expensive, but glyca is a little bit more pricey. But most of the other ones you can easily get from your physician. Just go in, ask for the high sensitivity, high sensitivity to your reactive protein, lipid panel, liver enzymes. Right. They'll run all of those. And then one other marker that we should look at as well as vitamin D levels are 25 hydroxy vitamin D. A lot of research out showing that levels on certainly under 30 nanograms per milliliter, where you're you're the lab will actually flag you as deficient, you know, linked with all cause mortality. So if you have levels under 30, you're all cause mortality, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative condition. We talk about any sort of chronic disease and then dying of anything goes up. Right. So it's really easy actually to bump that up. Ideally, we do it by getting in the sun. However, most of us just not getting enough sunshine. We may not be living in an area where the sun's going to impact us in a significant way to get the vitamin D if we're up. Let's say we live in Canada, we live in Maine, we live in these northern climates. It's going to be harder to get enough vitamin D from the sun. But if we are in a you know, even if we are in that location, like in the summer months, trying to get as much sun on as much of your body as possible. Obviously, you don't want to burn. But outside of that, trying to get the sunshine is key. Sun offers a lot more benefits than just a vitamin D supplement. However, taking a vitamin D supplement as well can be really helpful. I usually recommend about a thousand international units per twenty five pounds of body weight taken with meals you do at one or two doses, depending on how much of that you need. And that will definitely get your vitamin D levels up. You want to test every three to six months or so and kind of look at where you're at. Ideally, I like to see it up over 60 nanograms per milliliter, usually not concerned about overdosing. The research shows that as long as you keep it really under about 150 nanograms per milliliter, you won't deal with any sort of, you know, toxicity, vitamin D toxicity. It's really hard to get it up over 150, although it can be done if you're taking like 50 ,000 units every single day. So if you're taking roughly five, 10, 15 ,000 units every day, you're probably going to optimize your vitamin D and do really well. And so those would be some of the key labs I would definitely recommend. All right, great, thank you for that list of people listening, friends, you know, here in the audience, please do take out your notes, get your paper and pen ready, or if you're keeping a Google doc or however you're keeping track and look at this list because it'll be helpful to you to help guide your own health and be aware. And you may find you're already working with a doctor who's doing these kind of testing. It's not time to time to up level. Hey, I just wanted to interrupt this podcast to tell you about my cell liposomal glutathione. This is an amazing product because our modern world is toxic. No matter how health conscious you try to be. The truth is that every single day you and I are being bombarded by harmful toxins and stressors, things like EMF, 5G, heavy metals, chemicals, processed foods and the like. And when left to roam free, these toxins take on the form of something called free radicals. Free radicals promote an unhealthy inflammatory response and contribute to oxidative on damage the cellular level. This is kind of like the browning of an apple. This is happening inside of our bodies at all times, and it's potentially leading to premature aging, a lower quality of life and a range of health problems. But the good news is that we can fight back with antioxidants and they are crucial in combating free radicals and keeping you on track. And one of the most powerful antioxidants known to man is glutathione. You see, glutathione fights free radicals and molecules that cause cellular damage while repairing the DNA and flushing out toxins. The only thing about glutathione is that not all supplements are created equal. You want a kind of glutathione that has optimal absorption capacity. And that is why I love the Pureality Health My Cell Liposomal Technology, which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream. And it's proven to be 800 percent more efficient than other forms of glutathione. And even better, this is backed by a 180 day money back guarantee. And today we have a 30 percent off coupon for you.

There's no need to reinvent cyber from scratch for zero trust advises Andrew Harris the public sector chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. That's one of four tips that Harris shared with Federal News Network during its 2023 cyber leaders exchange presented by Karasoft. For instance Harris suggested think about integrating your endpoint software with an existing identity credential and access management system. We've seen some agencies and other businesses commercial entities that try just to start from scratch acting like they have no technology, no cyber capability. They're going to press the old F5 reset button and that's it. Again, they all eventually come to realize they need to extend where they are today. But one of the other big fallacies and missteps that we've seen agencies take is only applying the principles of zero trust to only part of their ecosystem. When you apply zero trust principles you really need to have a holistic approach. Want expert advice

My bowel movements are sporadic. There's no timing to it. Some days I go a lot and some days barely at all. If keto is natural, why would you need to do special things to help you have bowel movements? This is a really good question. And so whenever you start on any sort of diet change, there can be changes with your microbiome. Many of us have experienced this, whether it means more bowel frequency or less bowel frequency. So a diet change can certainly make a difference. Also, there's a lot of people that follow a keto diet, but they eat a lot of processed foods. There's a lot of things out there that are highly processed, but they are quote unquote keto. So that may be an issue here. I'm not sure, but that certainly could be an issue. Also a big thing with a keto diet is when you are going on a very low carb diet, your insulin levels drop. And that's important because we know insulin is a fat storage hormone. As long as insulin is elevated, we can't burn fat for fuel and we can't produce ketones. We also end up with blood sugar imbalances with more fat storage and more inflammation. So one of the benefits of a keto diet is it brings insulin down. Now when insulin goes down, insulin, not only does it do the things I just talked about, getting sugar into cells and storing fat, but it also causes us to retain sodium.

Is there a conservative, more conservative speaker out there that can cobble together two seventeen and face plant us and make us look stupid? Oh, this show, I have so much, I have so much, so much. Please don't go anywhere. I'll get into the emergency broadcast system stuff, too. A lot of panic about that stuff. There's so much going on today. Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. But, you know. Dr. Gawker here, and I want to talk to you for a minute about the 100 percent drug free relief factor. We all deal with aches and pains in our day to day lives. And I have had my fair share, including injuries like a detached quad muscle that I can tell you fell into the category of really bad pain. But I've been able to manage the pain by taking relief factor. It helps your body own to attack and fight off sources of inflammation, the source of most of our aches and pains. And I've loved it for years now. Almost 70 percent of the more than half a million people who have tried relief factor end up ordering more. That's because it works for them the way it worked for me. Isn't it time for you to get out of pain? Your first step to becoming pain free should be order to the three week quick starter pack for the discounted price of only $19 .95.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from FULL INTERVIEW - Dr. Ashley Lucas, Founder of PHD Weight Loss & Nutrition
"Have you noticed we started calling our call -in line, the PHD weight loss and nutrition line? That was from me because I'm so committed to telling everybody who hears my voice that you can say goodbye to the unwanted pounds that you've been carrying forever. I mean I've I've fought weight for my whole life. And then my friends Joey and Peg Hudson in South Carolina started raving about something called PHD weight loss and nutrition. And I want to take just a couple of moments to bring back to the show one of my favorite people in the world. Smartest, one of the smartest people I've ever met. And she has quite a life story. Former professional dancer. There's a lot of demands on professional ballet dancers and ballerinas and what their body has to look like. And Dr. Ashley Lucas put together years of education in nutrition and metabolism to come up with PHD weight loss and nutrition. And I gotta brag on it some more. Dr. Ashley, welcome back to the show. I see you're in the Dr. Ashley show studios. Your YouTube channel, the Dr. Ashley show is doing great I hear. It is. It's been so much fun. I've helped with the YouTube channel and now we are pulling that into a podcast template forum so that people can hear it while they're driving or wherever they might. You know, Dr. Ashley, when I talk about PHD weight losses taking the country by storm, it's true. We're going to Israel this fall and there's a bunch of people from the upstate of South Carolina who are going. I think there's 15 or 16 people just from the upstate who are going to go on the Prager Gallagher trip. Of that group, four of them just began PHD. It's so neat to hear people who are enthusiastic. I meet people everywhere I go. Last event I had in San Diego, a guy walks up to me and he says, Mike, thanks to you and PHD weight loss and nutrition. I lost 67 pounds and the guy looked great. He was about a 50 year old man. He looked absolutely fit. It's amazing. The beauty of PHD and that's why I can't brag on this program enough and I want to keep talking with you as much as you're willing to come on the show. First of all, you're not hungry so there's not a severe caloric restriction and you don't go through crazy exercise routines. I know people who literally wipe themselves out trying to exercise their way into significant weight loss and that doesn't really work, does it? No, it doesn't. We've talked about this a lot on this show, but the body is much more complicated than calories in and calories out and really what we want to do is target the belly fat. The belly fat, those fat cells that are in your belly secrete these hormones and there are these hormones that cause inflammation in the body, which results in joint pain and skin irritation and type two diabetes and cardiovascular disease. All of these negative health consequences and these fat cells also make you crave and make you hungry and weight gain really isn't your fault. It has nothing to do with you. It's all dependent upon this hormonal situation that's occurring in the belly fat and so when you think about dropping weight and exercise and calories really and what we want to do is we want to target a way to change the metabolism so that your body is fat. And so through that, when we look at the type of exercise that create impact, it's really not that chronic cardio, the type of exercise where you get on the elliptical machine and you just keep going and going and try to burn as many calories as possible. When you're looking at exercise, it's really about the functional way that the movement is working in the body and how it's tackling the fat cells specifically. So we want to focus on lifting something heavy resistance training, not enough to cause any type of injury, but enough where it really gets the body burning fat. So lifting something heavy, whatever that means to you and then some kind of intensity interval training and this doesn't have to be lengthy. It doesn't have to be anything too strenuous for sure. Dr. Ashley Lucas, the founder of PHD Weight Loss and Nutrition is joining us from the Dr. Ashley Studios. You're not going to want to miss her podcast, her YouTube channel. You can find everything by going to drashleyshow .com. Dr. Ashley show .com and I want to do something. I'm going to throw you a little bit of a curveball Dr. Ashley, but I know you can take it. I get questions all the time about my journey on PHD Weight Loss. I want to open up our phone lines to anybody who has a question for you or me about the program. So 800 -655 -MIKE because after all it is now the PHD Weight Loss and Nutrition phone line. Thank you very much. So we need to brand it properly and I want to roll out the official naming rights that you now have on our call -in line by inviting people to use the PHD Weight Loss and Nutrition line with any question you might have about the PHD program, what it means, what it takes.

That really means the world to us and it helps us reach more people and impact more lives. Thank you so much for doing that and thank you for being a part of our community. Let's go into the show. Well Dr. Naysha, always great to connect with you and I know you're one of the leading minds when it comes to natural oncology, natural cancer, holistic approach and just really understanding what cancer is and so I'd love to start there and really this idea of like with cancer. I love this topic. As I told you before you started recording, I think it's really important because often what happens is somebody gets the almighty C, gets met with that and somehow their belief systems because of how our culture perpetuates it, it goes immediately into terror and immediately into I'm going to die and it's just a matter of moments before that happens and so we make some assumptions that our longevity is somehow tied to this particular diagnosis and are really kind of fragile way and so I love that we get to start there with this and so first of all remember that the actual Webster's dictionary definition of longevity is a long duration of individual life, continuance, permanence and durability and when we hear that one thing that happens in my mind is there's that concept between quality and quantity of life as well and so there's that piece and then also the concept of longevity when you're given a really intense diagnosis such as cancer, what I think happens is folks actually forget, this is why I love that you're doing this summit, that over 93 % of us are walking around on this planet with dysfunction in our body that actually is contributing to poor longevity. That will surprise people. People will think that's cancer at the top of the list but it's metabolic fragility, metabolic inflexibility and so I think that this is really important to know. The other thing on longevity before we tie it into specifically to cancer is that in the United States for the last five or six years, I'm sure you have somebody who's spoken to this, longevity is faltering. We're the only developed westernized modern on nation the planet today where our longevity is not only not improving or staying the same, it's getting worse and we thought it was looking bad and we were commenting on this back in 2017, 18 and 19 when we started noticing this trend and you can imagine how much worse it's gotten since then and so this really opens up our conversation today which is what scientists are calling this longevity issue, this loss of longevity, the era of despair and I even say that and it just it weighs heavy on my heart because the very diagnosis of cancer can lead to despair but people often forget sort of the chicken or the egg scenario which came first and so I think that's where we'll spend some time today about how this concept of longevity and cancer, where the two shall meet, maybe what came before that diagnosis and what we can talk about to empower a different outcome.
Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Caregiver Support
A highlight from 289 - An Outside the box Alzheimer's Treatment? How Biovie is Modulating Inflammation
"The brain health of our younger generation. We have a mental health crisis. We've had an isolation crisis. We've had a health crisis. And a light was shone on the fact that, yes, grandmom and granddad are alone. Well, you know what? They might have even been alone before the pandemic, but people may not have been paying as much of attention. And all of a sudden, you know, there really was a bright light because you couldn't see them. I mean, it was it was a true crisis. And so I think out of every, you know, major problem, there does come an opportunity. And I think we see it. I think there is a world right now focused on on the on the problem we have in front of us and on solving it. So I, for one, am extremely hopeful. I'm extremely proud of all of the other groups within the industry who are working on things. And I'm I'm really, really thrilled to be part of BioV and part of a, you know, a small, innovative team that I hope has a very promising piece of the of the puzzle. Stay tuned. The Alzheimer's Association is saying that, quote, we're in an era of treatments now, which is excellent. But these treatments aren't right for everyone with Alzheimer's, and it doesn't affect other forms of dementia. That's why I'm excited that just this summer I have been approached by many startups that are looking at treatments from a different angle. We've got immune bio targeting immune cells. And today I'm speaking with Sarah Holt of BioV, a clinical stage company developing a novel approach to treating Alzheimer's disease. BioV believes targeting neuroinflammation could be the key to finding an effective Alzheimer's therapy.

The Podcast On Podcasting
A highlight from Ep368: Vegan Vs. Carnivore
"So, it's not really this or that that is going to give you the real result. The thing that's going to give you the actual result that you're looking for is cutting out the shit. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. Hey, Podcaster. It's your host, Adam A. Adams, and we are talking today. It's vegan versus carnivore, but really, we are going to relate this to podcasting because in anything and everything that you do, this lesson, this analogy is going to work for you. And I thought it was interesting. There are people that only, only, only eat meat. The only thing they have, let's just say that they have beef three times a day or they might have eggs and beef three times a day or simply only, only, only, only beef, or maybe they're mixing it where they can have all sorts of meats, turkeys or fish or turkeys, turkey, fish, chicken, beef, bison, elk, you name it, duck, duck. That's my favorite. So we're talking about vegan versus carnivore in a way, and we're talking about how do we get to a result. And these people that only, only, only eat meat, they say that their inflammation goes down. They say that their body burns a lot of fat, a lot better than it used to because of ketones or whatever. They say that they feel stronger and healthier than ever. They feel more limber. They feel faster. Their heads are sharp. Their brains are really, really working. And then just if you go to the complete opposite of somebody who's practicing veganism, that means, I'm sure most of you know, but practicing veganism means you never eat meat. You probably don't even have fish because that's pescatarian. So you don't have any types of meat. You don't have really hardly any omega -3s. You don't have very much protein. It's pretty hard to get a good amount of protein. But somebody who's practicing a vegan diet, they swear by it. They say, I feel healthier. They feel happier. They feel lighter. They feel faster. And they try to say that their cholesterol is better. Their blood markers are better. And that's proof that it's working. And in both cases, here's the problem. Listen carefully. Here's the point that we're making. A strict carnivore diet cuts out a bunch of shit. It cuts out boxed crackers. It cuts out things that are processed. It cuts out a bunch of that crap, the shit. And veganism cuts out a lot of the shit too. You can't be a raw vegan and eat potato chips or French fries. You can't be a raw vegan and eat almost anything from box. So the carnivore diet and the vegan diet are opposites. A carnivore, literally, if somebody says I'm 100 % carnivore, it means I never eat vegetables or fruit. And if somebody who eats only vegetables and fruit, obviously they never eat meat. But here's the thing that's interesting. Listen carefully. In both cases, they swear by their diet. In both cases, they get results. So what's the difference? I've mentioned it before. And it happened to be in the teaser today. First part that you heard. A vegan and a carnivore, neither of them are eating the crap. Neither of them are eating the stuff that's terrible for them, the stuff in a box. Now, in case you don't want only dieting tips today, I'm gonna give you one more analogy. Here's the thing. I have been really focusing on my fitness. And somebody at CrossFit, we'll talk about CrossFit being so good and so helpful. And CrossFitters, and I am one, I was one. I actually went today. I love CrossFit. CrossFitters might say that's the best way to exercise. They might say that because we do a little bit of strength training and we do different movements every time. We're always mixing up the movements and the muscles and we're always surprising the muscles. And that's really how you grow. And I know a lot of CrossFitters, if they've been doing it for more than a year, and certainly if they've been doing it for more than two years, they probably look fantastic. They are probably able to do things that most of us can't do. They're probably able to do just fun acrobatic things. Like today, we did something called a muscle up. Look it up. Look up a muscle up. Go find this on YouTube or something and see what it is. They are not easy. And that was part of the workout. And so I did some muscle ups today. And what I'm saying is CrossFit is going to get you healthy and fit. It's going to allow you to have a variation of different things. So you can do some cardio. You can definitely do some strength training. You can do some HIIT workouts. You can do some high intensity stuff like HIIT workouts. You can do a variation of things. You can lift this way. You can lift that way. You do some power lifting. You do some Olympic lifting. You do some gymnastics. You do some cardio like running and biking and rowing. You do all of those things. And you are an all around a very, very healthy person. And so a CrossFitter is going to say, this is the best way. And then you look at somebody who just does this type of workout or that type of workout. Or you even narrow it down to just CrossFit. And you find out that almost no two gyms are programming the same workouts each week. And so it's like, well, how could that one work? And how could that one work? How could the carnivore diet work? And how could the vegan diet work? How could the bodybuilding diet work? And when you go even deeper to bodybuilding, I put together an idea, a five day workout split. And I gave it to, I think, four people that I trust. And one of them said, that's perfect. They agreed with me. Another one said, that's never gonna work. You have to get the result that you're looking for. You have to do this and this and this. And another one basically said it was so far off that it's not gonna work. Here's the thing. If you are moving and exercising, you're going to get fitter than if you're staying stagnant. And it's interesting. You could follow all of the diet advice. You could follow all of the lifting advice. You could do this person's workout or that person's workout. They're probably going to work because you're cutting out the shit. You're cutting out the bad stuff. When you are focused and motivated on doing this, you're probably cutting out the other things. So it comes also to your podcast. And I want you to be careful and cautious and notice that everybody's gonna have a different opinion. Somebody is going to say that you should just start your podcast right now and go ahead and do it on your cell phone and have bad audio quality because the audio quality doesn't really matter because nobody's really listening, they say. And another person will say, just start. You can change it later. Another person will say, you have to use this Blue Yeti, which please don't use the Blue Yeti. If you're curious what that is, it is a microphone that is terrible for podcasting, but they're really good at marketing for podcasters. And so they get a whole bunch of people using the wrong type of mic in their office and then they have a worse quality than they could if they didn't use it. But anyway, the point is somebody's gonna say, oh, just use a $20 mic. Another person is gonna say, you gotta spend at least 200 bucks. Another person is gonna say, you could just start with this one thing and upgrade later. Another person is gonna say, this $500 mic is the best one, that's the right one to go. And the problem is your head starts freaking spinning. Vegan, carnivore, bodybuilding, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, cross training, cycling. What should I be doing? Should I start a podcast? Should I not start a podcast? Should I start a podcast with this mic or with that mic? Because it's differing opinions. And here's the point. One is, yes, some people will give you some shit. The vegan diet, it'll probably work. Carnivore, it'll probably work. It's basically because you're not eating the crackers. But there are people that are like, oh, you can eat processed food all you want and then it changes your hormones and then you're grumpy, you're fat, you're this and that. So the point is that there's all sorts of advice and the right advice gets rid of the shit. The correct advice, the better advice gets rid of the shit. On this podcast, I do my absolute best to get rid of the shit, to allow you to be able to narrow it down. But there is gonna be somebody that says something opposite from me, but it'll work too. The vegan diet works, the carnivore diet works. Keto might work for a temporary amount of time and CrossFit could work, bodybuilding could work, maybe even running could work. It gets you out, it gets you moving. There are pros and cons to everything. There are probably pros and cons to veganism. There are probably some pros and cons to carnivore, but they will both work if you stick strict to them. CrossFit will work if you stick strict to them and whatever the advice is that you get from people, if you feel like it's not shit advice, follow it. Do it to the best of your ability. Follow what you hear on this podcast and if you focus on it, it will work. I know that it works because it works for me and it works for 60 of my clients. So the stuff that I share on this, it does work, but somebody might have a different opinion. Somebody might have something else that also works.

A highlight from The Root Cause of Pain/Inflammation & Top 5 Anti-Inflammatory Supplements - Dr. Joshua Levitt
"All right, I'm here with Dr. Josh Levitt. He is a naturopathic physician. He's also the founder of Up Wellness and an expert in pain management. Dr. Josh, welcome to the show, brother. Hey, thank you for having me. This is going to be fun. Look forward to it. Yep, absolutely. I'm super excited to jam out with you. I only like to rock out with high vibe people. And from what I've gotten to see from you, that is what you do. You know, you're a naturopathic physician and I've had a couple of naturopaths on it, but I'm curious for you, you know, you kind of know my philosophy with the Western approach. And, you know, that was really actually how I, I'm not a naturopath. I'm a holistic health coach. And, but that is how I kind of went down my own path for a holistic health or medicine, whatever you want to call it, because I wasn't getting results from the Western, the Western side, more or less. And I wanted to start understanding more about root causes and like, how do we really get to it? I want to put a bandaid on things. So, but I'm just curious for you, like, how did, how did you get started on this? Was there a day you realize, like for same thing for you, was there a day you realize like, that's it, like, this is what I want to do with my life? Yeah, that's a great question. And we, we all have our personal stories, right? And there was a day, I can kind of pin it down. So let me give you a little background before we get to that particular day. So I grew up in Southern California, a surfer and a skater. And I was, I come from a family of doctors. I always wanted to be a doctor. I was like one of those kids who just always wanted to be a doctor. I went to UCLA on a pre -med track. I studied neurophysiology there. My dad at the time was training medical residents at, at UCLA. So I had kind of, I don't know, backstage access to doctors, you might call it. And, and then this is like in my early twenties, I'm in my late forties now. They were telling me that medicine was changing for the worse, right? These docs were all like, basically don't do it. You know, it was kind of what they were saying. And so it was like, well, what am I going to do? I kind of always wanted to be a doctor. Anyway, I had the good fortune to be able to take a year long trip. So I went and got a backpack, you know, some hiking boots and I went really on a walkabout around the world, all over the place, sleeping on beaches, hitchhiking, staying at youth hostels, all that sort of stuff. At one point I got a blister on the back of my foot from some sandals that I had bought and it turned into cellulitis and cellulitis is a bad thing, right? It was, it was creeping up my leg at this time when it was really advancing up my leg. I had a fever. It was really bad. And I was on route in an airplane, headed towards Zurich, Switzerland. So I landed in Switzerland and I had severe cellulitis with a fever. It was really bad. I called home. I got a prescription for antibiotics called into this pharmacy in Zurich where I went in and I was kind of tripped out because I was, you know, had a high fever and I was, my mind was playing tricks on me. And I picked up these antibiotics, which helped me. They cured my infection, saved my leg, maybe even saved my life. So that's part A, but part B, in contrast to anything I had ever known in Southern California, which is where my life was, I saw in this pharmacy, not only the antibiotics that I needed at the time, but also this whole world, right? Of like herbal stuff, homeopathic stuff, tea, and like natural things. And I was tripped out. Like I was like, wow. You know, I was probably also like a little febrile, you know, but like, this was amazing to me. There's medicine that's not just like medicine that like this antibiotic. And I was also in a journey of discovery at that time in my life anyway. And that just basically ignited a spark that became the passion that's basically led my entire career. And so I now still have that passion and enthusiasm for natural medicine. And I guess it's sort of, there's some irony there because like I'm the naturopathic doctor who got his start in naturopathic medicine on the day that I needed antibiotics, right? So it's like, and by the way, I'm no fan of antibiotics. Like, I think they're grossly overused. I think they're used for too long. I think they're used inappropriately all the time on humans and on livestock. So like, you know, but I think they're also great and necessary when they're necessary as they were in my case, in that particular case. But yeah, so that's my story, the origin story, if you will. And here I am now kind of like, you know, on what I see as a bridge that's still in construction between Western medicine, mainstream conventional medicine and alternative medicine. And when I got started and even before that, those worlds were just totally far apart from each other. Never the two shall meet. And I think as I've moved through my career, it's not just been me, but lots of people kind of trying to construct that bridge and bring the best of both worlds closer together. That's what I'm about.
How to Live A Fantastic Life
A highlight from 221: Live in Peace and Joy with Purpose
"Dr. Alan Laika here and I'd like to welcome you to how to live a fantastic life show where we will be discussing the important aspects of your life. We hope to inspire you to live the best life you can. Get out of your comfort zone and explore the awesome world around you, break through your barriers, take inspired action, use the difficulties in your life to achieve the best version of you. Ladies and gentlemen, our next guest is Brittany Hayden who is a nurse practitioner, owner and CEO of a functional medicine company located in Nebraska. She is also a virtual health coaching business. She also has a virtual health coaching business helping women improve their gut health and balance hormones by addressing the underlying imbalances within their life. Brittany developed a love for functional medicine after her own health issues. Once she began to look for the underlying source for her health problems, she realized how powerful a root cause approach could be. She now dedicates her life to helping others find healing they once thought impossible. Welcome Brittany. Hey, thank you for Sure. So in my 30s, I started to get sick. And it started off with just, I actually always been one that suffered from allergies, but the allergies turned into severe respiratory asthma symptoms, and it was uncontrollable. And when that happens, I obviously wondered what on earth was going on in my life that was causing this drastic shift. And so I started looking for the root cause of and I didn't even know what root cause was, but I started looking for the reason why my body was having respiratory these severe problems, because medication wasn't managing my symptoms. And I was able to figure out that had to do with air quality in my home, and I had to make some adjustments. And I got over that hurdle, but then something else happened to my to my body. I developed severe cardiac problems. And I had I'd gone to the cardiologist, I had had all of the the workups, the EKGs, the echoes, and was put on medication and the arrhythmias were so bad, they left me in bed a lot of the time just unable to function. And I was a busy mom, I was working full time as a director of nursing, and my health was just declining at a rapid pace. And I, I was speaking to my aunt who was in, she's a nurse practitioner as well. And we decided that I needed to go get a second opinion, we were thinking that I'd probably have to have ablation done. And as I was on my way to go see this other cardiologist, a friend recommended a parasite cleanse. And I did not even know what a parasite cleanse was. I mean, I'd been in healthcare for 20 years, but that concept was totally foreign to me, you know, that that was something that you just got when you went to another country. But I was so desperate, and my health was so bad. I knew that if I didn't start doing something, I probably wasn't going to be alive very much longer because I was so sick. And so I go and see this other cardiologist, and he doesn't know exactly what to do with me. And we come up with this game plan. And I don't tell him that I'm also going to order some sort of herbal parasitic cleanse that I knew he probably wouldn't be too favorable with me doing. But I went home, that's what I did. I went home and I did some research and I, I just ordered a random parasite cleanse, not from any place reputable. But within the first couple weeks of taking that, my arrhythmias began to slow down to the point of by the end of 30 days, I wasn't having hardly any arrhythmias whatsoever. And I called my friend and she she's like, you better do another 30 days of that parasite cleanse. So I did. And by the end of the 60 days, I never had a heart arrhythmia at all. And really that got my brain to thinking and, and I mean, I was overjoyed that I was actually functioning well, and my heart was beating like it was supposed to be beating. But that was not the end of my health journey, or my sick journey, I should say. Because I still was suffering with a lot of brain fog and chronic fatigue and just generalized symptoms that I, I'd kind of chalked up to being normal for, for myself being a busy mom working in my mid 30s. That was just kind of normal. But these generalized symptoms started to get worse. I started developing severe joint pain, I was forgetting how to take steps, I would be walking up the stairwell, and like, I would get halfway up the stairs, and I couldn't remember if I needed to take another step, or I'd get down on the ground, and I'd be in so much pain. I didn't know how I was going to get back up. And then I started rashes developing and hives. And the list just kept getting bigger. This was after your cleanse? Yes, this was after my cleanse. And it was actually quite some time afterwards, like, probably another year or so that it started to, all these symptoms just started to compound and get worse. Well, how did you pull it all together that something was happening? And how did you move forward? I, I happened to just be searching on Facebook, and not really searching, but just scrolling, and I happened to come across a another woman talking about breast implants and the problems that she was having. And as I started reading about her symptoms that she was having, it propelled me to investigate breast implant illness. So tell me, when did you have your breast implant? Well, I'd had them for 17 years. And what type of implants did you have? Saline. So supposedly, they were the safe. Those were supposed to be safer. Yes, they were supposed to be safe. And I started digging and I found a Facebook group with thousands and thousands of women that were having the same symptoms that I had. And I knew, you know, when I got implants, there was always this like 10 year life limit. Well, I was obviously beyond the 10 years. But I realized, looking back in the last 10 years, all of these things that were happening to me, and putting the pieces together and realizing that I think my implants are contributing to all of the problems that I've been having. So I made the decision to have them removed. And it was like a light switch. I mean, after I came out of surgery, my color started to get better. The clarity in my eyes, my thought process, everything started to shift and I started to be able to heal. So were your implants contaminated with yeast? You know, just looking at them, they didn't look too bad. But when I looked at the ports after they sent them home with me, the ports had mold in them. Not a lot. I know some people's look way worse than mine, but there was black mold in my ports. Yeah, I think this bears out to our listeners that, you know, yeast is all around. They love to take their inhabitants on bodies in the body that are just sitting there and breast implants are some of them. Yes. Yeah. It was just like the most remarkable, remarkable shift. You know, it's a scary thing to do. It's scary to change that much. I mean, you're changing your physical appearance. But when your life depends on it, I can't even put it into words. I mean, it was just the most incredible thing from being so sick, barely able to function one day. And to be able to think clearly and not be in pain. I mean, it was just remarkable. So how has this all affected your view on medicine now? How has this brought about your current view and perspective of what you believe? It totally shifted my perspective on medicine. I mean, obviously, I realized that there was so much power in looking not just at the symptoms that people were having, but digging and figuring out the root of the problem. Because obviously, in all of my health problems, that's really what came down to I had to figure out the root of the problem in order to begin to heal. And so with many of our generalized symptoms that we have, especially as women, there's a reason for it. So let's not just look at your blood work from a normal standpoint. Let's look at it through a healthy, functioning, optimal range and see where those imbalances are. Let's look at your surroundings. What toxins are you being exposed to every day? What are you putting in your body? It just opens up this whole new world when it comes to health and healing. That's important. So you now talk from the perspective of functional medicine. What is functional medicine and how does that apply to our listeners? So functional medicine is, in essence, looking for the root cause of symptoms and disease and addressing those problems from that standpoint in order to nurture and heal the cells and your organs and tissues so they can work optimally. And when it comes to how do you apply functional medicine, even in your own daily life, I mean, it's a matter of being aware of the things that, like I mentioned, that are around you every day. The food that you eat. And instead of going out and eating fast food, let's eat whole foods that actually are going to nurture your body and your cells and provide nutrients. It's opting for cleaner household products, cleaner skin care, because all of those things, when you breathe them in, when you put them on your skin, they affect your body and how it works. Whether you're able to detoxify, how you handle stress, whether you're going to have inflammation. I mean, all of these things that we're exposed to play a big role in disease processes. Yeah, that's important. So do you have a blog or a book? I know you're CEA on Renové Functional Medicine located in Nebraska. What do you do as CEO of that group and tell us how you're approaching this issue? So yeah, I have a functional medicine clinic in Nebraska, Renové Functional Medicine, as well as a virtual health coaching business so I can reach a broader, wider group of people. I actually live in a pretty rural part of the state. So I work a lot with women, not exclusively women, but I think women are more apt to seek help to begin with. But yeah, really looking at the cause of some of the problems that they're having. Gut health, I believe, is super duper important because so much of your immune system stems from your gut. And so a lot of my clients are suffering from gut problems. But even if they're not, because we live in such a toxic environment and we don't eat very clean, our gut health just is always a big foundation when I'm addressing any sort of underlying issue. Like I mentioned, hormones are also, they also come into play. But the health of your gut, your ability to digest and absorb nutrients, that's obviously going to affect your hormonal balance. And so just being able to look at the body as a whole and being able to just take all of these bits and pieces of the information that my clients are giving me and to figure out what direction do we go, how do we support them in the most optimal way in order to get their bodies back into a functioning healthy state. So what would your advice be to somebody who's not doing well? How would you ask them or advise them to proceed if their doctor isn't I say find a second opinion. But I think you really need to find someone that listens to you. Obviously there are getting to be more and more people that are aware of functional medicine and looking at the root cause. So being able to seek those out and I mean you can learn so much online, even doing your own research. But obviously like the foundation of any sort of health transition is really going to lie with things that you can do yourself. I mean you can, you choose the food you eat. So start looking at more whole food options versus fast food or processed foods. Being able to modify the things that you're using in your home and your makeup and your hair care, how you handle stress, all of these things are easily modifiable if you are motivated to take those steps to do so. That's huge. So Brittany, this show is called the How to Live a Fantastic Life Show. How do you currently live a fantastic life? I choose to live a fantastic life by living in peace and joy and living with a purpose. That's really important. Can you elaborate a bit more please? I think it's a choice actually. And each day we are given the choice of how we think and where we allow our thoughts to go and what fills us up inside. And having lived some of my life in a place of non -peace and non -joy, I choose to have a positive mindset. I choose to live with joy in my heart and to fill my bucket with good things and people around me that bring life and goodness to me. And being able to serve and give back what I have learned on my journey, that is my purpose. And that in of itself brings me joy. That's huge. What do you recommend for others to live a life like you do? Well, like I said, it is a choice. So obviously our daily thoughts are very important. But I also believe like making healthy choices, being able to provide our bodies with the things that they need to function is going to support and help your thoughts. It's going to help alleviate stress. So not only do you need to reframe your thought process and kind of fake it till you make it sometimes, you choose to see the good in front of you versus the negative, but also nurturing your body from within and really surrounding yourself with people that are going to be a positive. They're going to give you positive feedback. They're going to support the changes that you might choose to implement and just really be encouraging and loving. That's fine. Brittany, how can people find out more about you and what you have to offer? So I am on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok and you can find me at the number one, Brittany Heiden. That's my tag.

The Hair Radio Show with Kerry Hines
Hair Loss 101 With Dr. Linda Amerson and Darlene Alexander
"Carrie Hines and today's topic is on the subject of hair loss and we'd like to welcome to HairRadio. Dr. Linda Amerson, doctor welcome to Hair Radio. Thank you so much Mr. Hines for having me today. Well we're glad that you're here. Now along with myself you also we have a special treat Dr. Darlene Alexander who is the vice president of Heavenly Essence Inc. Now they're the creators of Purity hair care products is on the line as well and she'll be hosting with us so a special treat for us and the listeners of Hair Radio. Darlene welcome to Hair Radio. Oh thank you Carrie for having me here today. I really appreciate it. Well listen we want to jump on in to this very, very big subject and I guess the first thing that we probably want to do is to tell everyone hair loss is so vast and there's so many different parts to it but if we must break it down and start at the beginning and Darlene you can certainly jump on in but I'm thinking that Dr. Amerson maybe it would be a good idea for you to tell everyone about or what exactly is alopecia and the general topic of hair loss. Okay absolutely alopecia is the medical term for hair loss and it is a very broad umbrella for several different categories of alopecia and many consumers do not realize that and sometimes that is not always conveyed in a very layman's term to them that just because one person has one category the other person may have something totally different or a combination of different types of alopecia. So what I do in my practice I am a doctor of trichology which means I have furthered my education and my level is directly below dermatology and right above cosmetology and barber styling. So I actually get to the root of the problem by incorporating microscopes to give an accurate diagnosis. I look at internal factors as well as external factors which is very, very important to have a regrowth possible at all. Now would you tell us a little bit on what some of those internal factors might be? Some of the internal factors may include nutrition. Now nutrition is a very, very important factor. Other factors could be mechanical such as the type of heat appliances that a person uses, whether it's the flat iron or the curling iron or the waving iron, et cetera. These are also contributors to some of the scalp damage and hair damage that I see on a daily basis. Now how much of this, just to kind of go back a little bit Dr. Amerson, how much of this would you say is a real problem? Like say for the general public, do you have any idea how many people are actually suffering with hair loss just overall, just an idea? Yes, absolutely. The latest statistics is over 80 million Americans are affected with some form of alopecia. Wow. Yes. Wow. That is amazing. Now Dr. Amerson, when you said that you stated about the types of alopecia, now can a person also have two types of alopecia? Oh, absolutely. There can be multiple types of alopecia and scalp disorders that occurs simultaneously. Okay. For example, I've seen cases where they may have alopecia areata, they may have seborrhea dermatitis, they may have telogen effluvium, they may have inflammation of the scalp, erythema, paritis, as well as hair breakage.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Casey Diaz (Encore Continued)
"Folks, welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit LegacyPMInvestments .com. That's LegacyPMInvestments .com. Welcome to The Eric Metaxas Show. Did you ever see the movie The Blob starring Steve McQueen? The blood curdling threat of The Blob. Well, way back when, Eric had a small part in that film, but they had to cut his scene because The Blob was supposed to eat him. But he kept spitting him out. Oh, the whole thing was just a disaster. Anyway, here's the guy who's not always that easy to digest. Eric Metaxas! Staying in my conversation with Casey Diaz, he's the author of the shot caller gangbanger's a Latino miraculous escape from a life of violence to a new life in Christ. Casey, the story is crazy, beautiful, amazing, and it's true. So you're telling me now the guy comes in there to kill you and he can't do it? And you lead him to faith right there, the man with the shank in his hand. Now, I would think that in the prison world, they're going to put a hit out on his life and they're going to put somebody else to kill you. So, I mean, what happens that day, the next day? Well, for several years, two years, actually, there's these little notes that we used to write when we were put a hit or we needed something to be moved from one prison yard to another that were called kites. And so I started to use that system to witness to other gang leaders in there. And shortly after that, one of the founding members of MS -13 came to Christ through one of those kites. And then another gang leader from a gang in South Central Los Angeles came to Christ. So there was about four or five of us that started to really witness out there. And we were going through the wringer for two years. But after those two years, over 200 inmates at New Folsom State Prison came to Christ. And there was a big celebration that took place in that prison. This is just amazing. I'm amazed. I have not heard this story because this is like, to me, this is national news. If the news were not crazy and avoiding this kind of stuff. But let me ask you, you talked about hard candy, whatever. What was what happened? You said that there's a well, we would get jumped, you know, we'd be walking to whatever, an appointment or on the yard or to chow. And the next thing you know, there's 20, 40 inmates on top of you beating you. Or they'll walk into your cell and and do that. And when did this happen to you? Oh, countless amount of times throughout those two years. And do you feel the freedom to defend yourself? I kept I try to keep my promise of not doing anything. So and there's some details on that in the book that I go into. But for the most part, I just because you certainly could have killed a few more people. Yeah, absolutely. And the temptation came at one point. Well, because they're sort of trying to kill you. Yeah. And, you know, and it's it's overbearing. And you and you think and I remember having this conversation with God. And I said this to him, I said, you know, I gave everything up for you. I gave it all up for you. And this is what I what I get. And if you ever tell the Lord something like that, you're going to get a response. And here's the response to me was you didn't give anything for me. I give it all. I give it all up for you. He said that to you. And that was a calming moment for me that I came to to to understand that it was him that gave it all for me. I didn't know Jesus could be sassy. That's like a that's an amazing response. Yeah. Yeah, that's an amazing thing. But it was it was it was truth that, you know, that that that bear witness in my spirit that he's right. You know, he gave it all up for me wasn't the other way around. So you said this goes on for a couple of years and a lot of people come to faith in Jesus as a result of your standing on that table and being willing to risk your life. I mean, you risk your life. You basically at that point gave your life, except God gave it back to you. Yeah. And it's by God's grace that I ever made it out for parole. And made it out here. So what happened at this point? You said you go before a parole board. I mean, you're you're going through living hell for a few years there, even although you're so on fire in your faith that you are converting others in the midst of this situation. When how do you come up for parole at this point? Came up for parole on this particular morning. I didn't know that, you know, it was just to me, it was just another parole date. You know, you go every year, some of us go every three years, some of us every seven years. So to me, you know, I didn't I had no expectations of getting out any time soon. But at the moment that I got paroled, it was a surprise. In fact, one of the questions that one of the members said was, you know, why should we let you out? And my response was, you shouldn't. I deserve every minute that I have in here ordered by the court. In fact, I think that I should have been dealt stronger, and a bigger sentence should have been given to me. So I don't deserve freedom at all, and I'm okay with that. And that is the moment that I was granted parole. Did they know your story? I guess they have been watching what's happening. They had watched, they had seen, you know, prison guards had seen, there was riots that happened. I mean, there's so many stories that I share in there that, yeah, that God just, his supernatural hand upon my life was just one miracle after the other. Apart from your book, has anyone told these stories of this revival in this gang prison? No, I've been sharing it since the book release. I've been all over the country sharing it. Because this happened how many years ago? Over two decades. And we've never heard this story until now. I mean, it's, as I said, to me, this is national news. This is big stuff. And it's kind of amazing that nobody knows about this, all these guys. Now, so you get out and now what? You get out to what? What's your life? I get out to nothing because I have nothing on. So I moved out to a little town in California where I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me. I looked out for a church. I saw the church. I finally found one and got plugged in. Francis Proctor was still with me. See, that's amazing. This woman is the hero. Yes, she is. She's going to have a big mansion. Yes, she is. When we're in heaven, we won't have jealousy. So we're not going to be jealous. We'll be all right. I mean, can you imagine that this woman, it was her prayers. I mean, it's that simple. Like, that's the power of prayer. That's an encouragement to me. Wow. So you stayed in touch with her? Yeah. In fact, that whole prison ministry that would go there was at my wedding when I got married. They were all invited. They were all. Yeah, well, I would think they should be. Yeah, that's pretty amazing. So how long were you out? What did you do for a living once you get out? My uncle owned a hardwood floor company, so he hired me. I worked there for, you know, minimum wage. But I'll tell you this, my first paycheck, I had never made a dollar, honestly. So this was my first paycheck where I had worked a 40 hour week. And it was one of the best feelings that I ever had. And you, how old were you when you got out? I was, I think, 24 or 25, somewhere on there. Man, you lived like three lifetimes before that age. That's just unbelievable. So, and how long were you in that situation? Because now you're going to this church, you're in touch with this woman who had been coming into the prison. And how long, you got married, obviously. I got married, yeah. So I'm surprised too. You got married. And where were you at that point? How did you meet your wife? I met my wife at church. She's Lebanese. She comes from a Muslim background. She was the first one to convert to a Christian faith in her family. From the Muslim background. Yeah, from a Muslim background. And we met at church and we started to work together in the youth ministry. And after that, we ended up getting married and we've just finished celebrating our 20th year anniversary and three kids later. Three kids later. Yeah, I have two daughters and one son. One daughter that's at Azusa Pacific and the other one at Biola. We're going to do another segment, folks, so hang on. We'll be right back with Casey Diaz. The book is The Shot Caller. Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right. Designed to heal. And I agree with them. And the doctors who formulated Relief Factor for them selected the four best ingredients. Yes, 100 percent drug free ingredients. And each one of them helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point. So approaching from four different angles may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. If you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three week quick start discounted to only nineteen ninety five to see if it'll work for you. It has worked for about 70 percent of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more on one of them.

"When our bloodstream or when our body senses that we have higher amounts of microbes, whether it's live bacteria, live, fungus, live, parasites, or fragments of them. We call those endotoxins, or in a sense, poop from these microbes, which again, we label into this category of endotoxins. When that's elevated, when it goes beyond a certain threshold in our bloodstream, our body starts to panic. It says, oh my gosh, we could be at risk of dying from an acute infection dying quickly dying tonight from this infection, so we need to drive up defenses. We need to get our military ready. I know you were a marine, right? It's like, hey, now we're activating the National Guard here, right? We need all defenses on guard. And we drive up this inflammatory process. And the goal there is to get whatever the pathogen that we're facing under control so we can survive. The issue is, as long as we're eating and we've got this kind of tear in our gut, we call this leaky gut or intestinal permeability. We've got this damage in our gut. We're constantly pouring out more and more of these endotoxins, bacterial debris, undigested food particles into the bloodstream and we're constantly turning up inflammation. And then we get it into this state of chronic systemic inflammation. And over time, that wears down all the different tissues and organ systems in our body and creates major problems. And so leaky gut is a major factor. There are other components too, having too much fat tissue, for example, fat tissue itself, particularly a type of fat called visceral fat. Release, this is the type of fat that actually surrounds our organs, not the type of fat that kind of provides more cushioning and thermal support, right? So we have that that's kind of right under our skin. We call it subcutaneous fat. The visceral fats, what surrounds our organs. This is the really unhealthy fat. That actually releases inflammatory compounds. Cytokines. So we're actually pouring out more inflammatory producing molecules when we have this extra fat. Of course, trauma or any sort of injuries that we have, our body says, okay, if there's trauma more than likely, we may be at risk here for some sort of pathogen getting in, so we need to drive up this inflammatory process. In fact, there's basically there are compounds that are released whenever a tissue is damaged, that trigger an inflammatory inflammatory process. And again, that's the body saying, okay, we need to break down and repair this, but also we want to make sure that this region, which is now more susceptible to infection because it's damaged, we need to make sure that no infection gets in and further causes further damage to this particular region of our body. And how is somebody going to know that they're actually they actually have inflammation taking place in their body right now? What are the signs of symptoms and then are there blood tests or other types of tests that we can objectively look at and say, okay, inflammation is present, we need to address it. Yeah, absolutely. So whenever somebody is inflamed, okay, we typically think, and it can impact people in different ways, but the way that most people in a sense feel inflammation will be heat in certain areas, pain, so painful, joints, that could be an issue, or just areas that are not functioning properly, like in your skin, if you have skin inflammation, you may not feel pain, you may, but you may not feel pain, but you might have eczema. You might have, you know, dry, scaly skin. You might have acne.

"Livestock principles, nutrition, keeping our blood sugar stable. You mentioned exercise getting our heart rate up to a certain level on a semi consistent basis. And then also you mentioned sleep and monitoring our deep sleep and REM sleep. And I definitely want to come back to all of those. What are some other lab tests? You mentioned hemoglobin A1C fasting blood sugar. If somebody was to, let's say, go to their doctor and say, hey, I want to I really want to understand my level of inflammation in my body and my overall health. What are some good lab markers that they could request? Well, I will tell you that a good surrogate marker for inflammation is something that many of your listeners viewers may have already had. And that is the hemoglobin A1C. Hemoglobin A1C parallels levels of inflammation in the human body. It also parallels levels of oxidized LDL or damaged bad cholesterol. So whereas many people might be visiting a Doctor Who doesn't do that level of cardiac lipid monitoring and you might want to know your oxidized LDL because it's really very relevant as it relates to your heart. Again, this A1C is a surrogate marker for inflammation and for oxidized LDL. Blood sugar and insulin levels are also very valuable as they relate to themselves in terms of insulin resistance and blood sugar control. But again, they represent surrogate markers for inflammation. Now, there are some specific markers for inflammation, like fibrinogen, total white blood cell count, high sensitivity C reactive protein. And certainly some forward thinking clinicians will go even further and measure cytokines like interleukin one beta, tumor necrosis factor, alpha, interleukin 6. And others like interleukin ten that tends to dampen inflammation. So these are ways of getting at least an understanding as to how inflammation is being regulated in your body. You can also get a sense as to your risk for elevation by having your genome sequenced and having it interpreted by an algorithm that will tell you, are you at risk for higher levels of inflammation in general based upon your nuances of your genome. We call those SNPs or single nucleotide polymorphisms. But to have that debriefed with somebody whose knowledgeable about what your genes look like and what it means to you in terms of risk for many things, but inflammation certainly one of them. We can infer risk for elevation of inflammation based upon looking at the ratio between omega 6 and omega three fatty acids that are found in your bloodstream. Another type of test that can be looked at by integrative type doctors. And there is even the indication these days that we might be able to characterize your gut bacteria and give you some sense as to is it favorable in terms of inflammation or might it put you at risk for higher levels of inflammation. And even higher levels of blood sugar and even insulin resistance. Yeah, very interesting. So there's a lot of different measurements that people can be looking at.

"Completely. I've been doing that more and more with my clients of just more coaching up the body than just throwing antimicrobials and binders of all those things in it because that's effective, but it can take a lot longer and you're not necessarily coaching up the pieces of the body. I mean, I've had multiple clients clear parasites literally just focusing on mitochondria. Like let's just get the mitochondria better. And all of a sudden they're passing worms. And I'm like, this is so cool. That is awesome. It's so good. It's so good, because you're so much more effective and all those herbs and things. I mean, it can throw off the balance, especially if you're not doing a GI map and watching things really carefully and just far more effective. Now, you mentioned oxidation way, way long ago. What's the role in inflammation? I'd like to get a little bit more into inflammation with the little bit of time that we have left together to just drive that peace home and understanding how inflammation can affect this overall system. And some of the steps that we can do and things and maybe a lot of what you already touched on addresses inflammation also, but could we just kind of tie that in with the inflammation piece and oxidation overall? Yeah, for sure. Well, I think about oxidation, I think about rusting, right? Just like a piece of metal when it's left out in nature and the water gets on it, it will start to rust or an apple browns. That's really what oxidation is. So it's kind of this internal rusting or browning of the body. And then inflammation is actually an immune. So oxidation is a normal kind of natural part of life. However, an oxidation actually makes us stronger because it's a stressor on the system that our body, when it's under a good, when it's in a good environment, and it's got everything it needs, it adapts to it and it creates stronger stronger antioxidant defense systems, right? Better at producing glutathione, better at producing superoxide dismutase, things like that. So it's all very, very helpful. Inflammation is a reaction that our body has to help protect itself from pathogens. We know that pathogens have killed more people throughout the history of mankind than anything else. For example, when people, our ancestors, when they died, typically, even if they were in a war, they typically didn't die from being stabbed by a sword or a spear. Oftentimes it was the infection that got in from the flesh wound. So we used to have infections that would cause pneumonia and people would die from pneumonia like crazy or meningitis, things like that. Nowadays, that's not common for normal healthy people, elderly people, maybe, not normal, healthy people. Part of that is because our body has created this inflammation response. And inflammation is job is to create this massive immune response to protect against pathogens from getting into vital organs and killing us quickly.

"Now, these genes obviously we can have abnormalities in these genes, but also we turn on poor expression of them through stress and inflammation. How does that work? How do we turn those on? Oh, okay. Do you want me to give more of the label? Yeah, let's start with what they are. Because people have heard of like the bracket gene and a P 53 genes. What is that? I mean, I mentioned it was a cell guardian. What is its role? And then how does kind of being in this state of chronic inflammation? Sure. Perfect. Turn on a poor expression of those genes. That's perfect. So the beauty is a lot of people we think genes like braca or P 50. We think it's somehow in cement, non changeable, and we're just sort of a sitting duck, nothing we can do about it. But the cool thing about the vast majority of our genome is that we do have influences. And that we can change expression, turning things on and off at will, or even accidental your unbeknownst to us. Ultimately, things like the P 53 is a tumor re is a tissue repair gene repair system. Okay? P 53, about 50% of the population have a wounded P 53 on the planet right now. So it's like a flip of a coin. Some of us have when it works, some of us have one of them. So for those that have one that don't and you can't test for this, but they're extremely expensive and not very most of them are in research environments. But to assume it's best to assume that it's damaged, so you want to take care of it. You want to take care of that. And that is exactly by tending to those drops in the bucket we've talked about. But some of the most profound ways to make your P 53 behave the way it was designed to behave are things like sulforaphane, cruciferous vegetables, you know, whenever you wanted to throw your broccoli at your parents when they told you

"Again, if microblading is for you, I know people who have done it who love it who swear by it, but I just caution because I think that sometimes those trends that come along and everybody's doing it, they're so many things that could go wrong. In terms of like healing, right? So we're in the summer now. And I know with other types of lasers, you really need to avoid the sun afterwards. So is that similar with this type of a treatment? Absolutely. Yeah. So really, when we talk about avoidance of sun, the reason for it, you're creating an injury underneath the skin with any laser treatment. And some of those injuries are more pronounced than others. Well, if you have an area that's recently injured, part of the healing process is inflammation, inflammation is programmed by the body to come in and make sure that everything gets cleaned up and heals as it should. When you have inflammation and you go outside and you're exposed to ultraviolet radiation, then you're creating inflammation on top of inflammation and the body response to that often by creating something called hyperpigmentation or darkening of the natural background skin tone or skin color. So people who are Fitzpatrick one like, for instance, a Nicole Kidman, they're very, very, very low risk of having that post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. But as you get into Fitzpatrick, three, four, 5, 6, the higher you climb, the more easily somebody tans at baseline, the greater the likelihood that sun exposure after any laser session, or any inflammatory insult to the skin will cause that undesirable side effect. Got it. So is there a best time well, I guess so this is such a long process that it's not necessarily, you know, I tell people with IPL, right? Don't do IPL now, wait until the fall. Wait until you know that you're not going to be for a myriad of reasons, but. With this, I guess you really have to just, I mean, you're in it for the long haul it sounds like. Yeah, and you know, truthfully, so as I said, we do a lot of lasers. A lot of different kinds of lasers. When it comes to tattoo removal, so if we're talking laser tattoo removal, I would tell most clients that there's not a lot of reason for them as an individual to stop treatment in the summer months, like, for instance, an ipl. As long as they're comfortable with sun avoidance measures. Now that doesn't mean don't live your life, but it might mean if you have a tattoo and you had a treatment, cover it up, put sunscreen on it, where an arm band stands. These treatments are done year round globally. So for someone who lives on the equator and they're having a laser treatment, being told, avoid direct sun for two weeks, it's not a big deal because they see 342 days of sun per year. Right. When you live in Rochester, New York in summer is two weeks long. Right. You're like, I can't.

And let's go into the show. Hey saddam to talk about some different labs that you can get done that look at if you're dealing with chronic low level inflammation in your body. We know everybody's talking about a different respirable tori illnesses and this is something all of us obviously wanted to our best to avoid and certainly we want to avoid having a complication with respond tori onus when somebody has a really major complication and guys i'm saying respiratory illness. He has no what i'm talking about but really we can talk about a lot of things. Pneumonia the flu. Lots of different issues. When somebody's having a serious event with it it really has to do with an underlying hyper inflamed state. So the hyper inflammation was kind of like pouring gasoline on the stove and then the infection came in and that was just you know the flick of a switch right. it was just kind of lighting. The you know the stove. That was already loaded up with gas right so of course it creates an explosion. And that's really what's happening with people so to prevent against a serious adverse event or some sort of a major issue with respiratory infection. You can look at some different labs to see what your underlying level of inflammation is and so my top seven. Labs are these number one and this this one. If you just get a complete blood count you'll be able to look at this. It is your red blood cell with so the with of your red blood normally should be below thirteen percent. And so if it's if it's above that right it's If the red blood cell gets wider. Okay then what happens is that's actually a sign of inflammation factors research that links that with a condition called inflammation aging right where we were inflammation is actually accelerating the aging process in us. So you know if you're looking at it. Normally red blood cell with average individuals typically around twelve percent or so You know again puts up above thirteen. That is a sign of inflammation and other one is high sensitivity c reactive protein. This is an inflammatory protein. The body produces to help prevent against infections right so if we have inflammation high sincerity. Crp may be elevated. now it's not always elevated for every individual for some individuals. It could be really healthy range but they still have inflammation. And that's why i'm going to talk about other markers but you know it's probably the most well thought out well researched Lab for inflammation and so high sensitivity c reactive protein. She asking your doctor to get that done. And we want that to be under one so that should really be under one And if it's up above one you have. A level of chronic were could be acute level of inflammation. But you're in a hyper inflamed state. So we're looking at high sensitivity. C reactive protein. Another one is. Es are with recite sedimentation rate so the es are should normally be under ten with this really is is it's basically How fast red blood cells kinda drop a tube right and so it should be under ten millimeters per hour okay if it is twenty millimeters per hour or more. That's a sign of inflammation in the body. It's a sign that red blood cells clumping together. You can also look at platelets. Platelet good platelet levels. Should usually be between one seventy five to fifty some around there. If your platelets are really high or really low that can indicate inflammation and like a low platelet level could also indicate some level some issue with your immune system right. Immune suppressed issue so Definitely good things to be looking at those. You know yes. Our platelet levels are typically certainly platelets are typically checked on a lot of routine labs. So you can really be looking at that. You can ask for that. Ees our test Can a good one to look at. We also have to look at blood. Sugar hemoglobin anyone see for example that is a measurement of your blood sugar over the course of a three month period of time normally and and really it's looking at what's called gleich. Haitian or the damage to red blood cells from sugar so sugar molecules. When they're in your blood they will actually cause damage to the red blood cells nag. We call that location now. Normally shepherd very low percentage of our blood cells being like aided that should really be ideally under five percent. Not much more above five percent. So if you are you know five point five five point six right five point. Seven is kind of the off for prediabetes and then six point. Zero is diabetes right. we're actually Have diabetic state. so really i for ideal blood sugar stability. I i like to see that under five so five or less. You know four point five to five. Let's say somewhere in that range selling me. You're keeping your blood sugar very very stable over time and we know that so important because we know that it elevated blood sugar like a blood. Sugar of one hundred twenty actually reduces your immune system's ability to scavenge pathogens like viruses by seventy five percent. Can you believe that. Seventy five percent reduction when you have a blood sugar of one twenty so if you have a hemoglobin when sea level up around five point seven five point eight at the sign. You're in that condition you are having ledger. Won twenty or more allot right. You're in that place quite often and so you are significantly. Suppressing your immune function so clearly. It's going to be a big problem So we want to get that again under five. Four point five or five somewhere in that range from looking at and then fasting insulin. So you can ask your doctor. Hey can you test my fasting insulin level. This is super critical Test because you might have good blood sugar stability but she might have high insulin levels and so we want to keep the insulin levels down under control. So we're looking at. You really want to keep your insulin around two to five okay. When it's up above that insulin high insulin. Also triggers more inflammation activates. More inflammatory cytokine production. So you're gonna have more inflammation so if you're testing your fasting insulin. This means that you haven't eaten in twelve hours. fourteen hours. he had dinner. You didn't eat in the morning. Drank water and then he went into your blood test on and your insulin is up over five or six. it's let's say twelve thirteen. That's a sign you are inflamed. You have insulin resistance. Not a good at not a good thing. So i wanna get that insulin level down super important and i'll have other videos and you guys can check out my channel. Talk a lot about insulin resistance. Keep your blood sugar stable today. I'm really focused on the on the lab tests. These are the important ones that you want to be looking at so anyways. Insulin super important. Hey i just wanted to take a quick moment and tell you about my new book. The fasting transformation. I am so excited about this book. It is a functional guide to help you burn fat. Heal your body and transform your life with intermittent and extended fasting. Fasting is the most ancient form of natural medicine in this book. I take you on a journey to help you understand. How fasting improves your blood sugar and your insulin sensitivity how it shuts down inflammation in your body optimizes. Your hormones turns on fat burning and helps activate stem cells deep cellular healing guys. You're gonna learn so much from this book. You can check it out. The fasting transformation on amazon or on our web page dockers dot net forward slash fasting transformation. So check that out. Now you guys are gonna love the book if you have a chance. Leave a review on amazon. Thanks so much. Vitamin d. so critical fact. A big study just came out. It was a meta analysis which is kind of your highest rank of studies. Meta-analysis takes all the best studies rights. So all the randomized control studies observational data. Right takes everything gets rid of ones that don't fit a certain qualifying level and then just takes all this data puts it all together to kind of summarize. What is the overall data. Say in this case about vitamin d and a you know the c nineteen virus. Okay and so. What does it say about that. Well what they actually showed. This was was recently published here at the end of march and they showed that there was an eighty percent reduction and In in your ability basically your in getting hospitalized for for coded if you were vitamin d sufficient. So if you were vitamin d deficient right. You have a significantly higher risk of being hospitalized for cova and so You know that is in my opinion looking at all the data it's really the most compelling data That we have out there about anything when it has to do with this particular virus and so So what am i gonna do. You want to optimize vitamin d levels. So we should be looking at your twenty five hydroxy vitamin d three and you. Ideally want that now to be deficient official. You have to be under thirty nanograms familiar but really you want to be up above fifty nanograms per milliliter really a net fifty to one hundred. Maybe even up to one hundred and twenty range. I don't really consider it Like you're getting too much like you are toxic toxic levels until really you're up around two hundred but the ideal range is roughly fifty to a hundred range. If you wanna be at your optimal we're looking at some around. Seventy eighty nanograms per milliliters really good level Some doctors have experimented and seen really good results with levels up above hundred nanograms from the later. But we just don't have enough research to make recommendations for that so getting your vitamin d. That's your hydroxy or your Twenty-five oh vitamin d levels. Now another one that you wanted test with that is your one twenty five vitamin d. That's your calcio. trial castle. Trials actually the activated form of vitamin d and in some cases some individuals will have sufficient levels of hydroxy vitamin d three but insufficient levels of the castle trial. One twenty five hydroxy vitamin d. Three the conversion takes place there in the kitties. Hydroxy d three turns into one twenty five hydroxy d three goes to the cells and activates. Vr receptor now. There are a couple of things couple reasons for this why somebody may not have enough of the act of vitamin d. Three one is a vitamin aid. Efficiencies you can test this as well you really want your levels to be roughly between thirty five and sixty. If you're deficient in vitamin a vitamin a really helps with the activation of vitamin d when it gets into the cell right so that's important magnesium. This is critical. A lot of people are deficient in magnesium too huge deficiency and you need that for all the steps of the conversion of Vitamin d into the active form of the one. Twenty five Vitamin d cows. Trial so magnesium super critical. When you're looking at a blood test you up over two point oh right and really more like two point two or so When you're looking at a blood test and you can get that done on your comprehensive metabolic panel. Most doctors running that super cheap. So you can look at that for magnesium levels. It's not the best test for magnesium it really. Don't have a great test but it will at least give you an inside on on. What's happening there. If you're under two point oh you definitely need to support your magnesium levels. That could be an issue so those things are very important to be looking at when it comes to your overall inflammatory gallons one other thing that that would really help to look at would be your plasma zinc to serum copper level right so zinc and copper or two critical trace minerals. We absolutely need them for metabolic function for immune function and they compete with each other. So we take copper. For example that will actually increase our. Absorption or or utilization zinc. Zeke may go down a little bit if we take zinc alone. Copper may go down a little bit. Now everybody's saying you know take zinc take zinc take zinc and that is really important. It's also good to look at where you're copper levels are now. Most people absorb copper better than they absorb zinc right so you need a lot of stomach. Acid good stomach acid production in order to absorb zinc copper. Not as much. So when if i test somebody that's at a baseline that is not supplementing zinc typically. They have a lot more copper than sink. And we want our plasmas zinc to serum copper. That's what we're looking at the amount of zinc plasma the amount of copper in your serum your blood serum we want that to be roughly one one point two meaning equal parts zinc to copper. Okay and you know for example zinc should really be up above ninety like ninety. Two one thirty five is to go range. I'm looking at some in their age. And you want the ratio would be one one point two with copper. So that's basically what we're looking at you know so these are important. Labs that you can get done so you can ask your doctor. You can go to my website. We have a comprehensive blood analysis. That looks at all these and so much more so these are tests that you can get done to really look at what your underlying immune risk is. I could talk about other labs too. You know like white blood cells for example they should be between five and eight white blood cells or below five or above eight if they're above eight. You're probably dealing with some sort of underlying infection to begin with. If.

"One and five serum farrington. This is your on iron. Storage marker what happens is when we have inflammation we oftentimes will have elevations here and the reason for that is. It's what we call. An acute phase reacted where keeping iron and storage not putting it into utilized utilization. Excuse me because a lot of pathogens parasites and bacteria will use iron out. Help their body grow or help them grow and so and cancer cells will as well and so the bought one of the ways. The body deals with that is it keeps its iron in storage for him so fairton levels go up but oftentimes will start to see like serum iron and stuff like that. Go down now also if we do have too much iron k. Like a condition called hyper chroma. Toast this in that condition. We have too much iron. And so of course we'll see farrington high end too much iron crates. Oxidation creates more inflammation. So that can be an issue. Red blood cell with so the red blood cells should have a certain size when they grow larger than they should. That's a sign of inflammation homocysteine. Which is a breakdown product methionine metabolism and can turn into glutathione as a master antioxidant. But also at a. You know if we don't have the bright b. vitamins. For example b six b twelve b to and full eight or nine then we end up with elevated homocysteine which creates more oxidative stress. Increased risk of things like strokes heart heart disease alzheimer's disease so really damages the vascular tissue arith- recite sedimentation reiter. Es are along with platelets when these are elevated son of really sticky blood. So it's a sign of Inflammation in the system drives up. Yes aren platelets lactate dehydrogenation l. d. h. Which is a breakdown product Or an enzyme. I should say that helps with lack with with glucose metabolism so when we see this really high. It's a sign. We have poor metabolic flexibility. And it's also a sign that we our bodies are inflamed and so there More h. is coming out of the cells came. It's really low. it's also a sign of reactive hypoglycemia. Or you know. Basically a poor ability to burn glucose for fuel so that's also an issue so we ideals zone is some around like one forty to one eighty neutra neutrophils lymphocytes ratio. These are white blood cells and we should really have the optimal ratio of these. And i talk about that in the inflammatory lab markers You know Video but you know it's roughly Know just just under one point five so we don't want a lot more neutral fills to lymphocytes. And i see this often on people and so when we have chronic inflammation neutral fills go up. Lymphocytes are depressed and that is an issue to sign..

"We need glucose glucose we can produce energy with without the use of oxygen right so we have to run. If we're going into fighter flight. We got a run for our lives. We need glucose elevated in our bloodstream. So we're under stress the body related to know the difference between you being stressed in your car about traffic or you try to run for your life so it increases blood sugar and of course that ends up increasing insulin. And if we're consistently doing this. We also develop not only insulin resistance but also we developed cortisol resistance in cortisol is one of our major stress. Hormones elevates blood. Sugar cortisol is also an anti inflammatory hormone so if we have the proper concentrations of cortisol it helps keep inflammation under control. However if we don't if we're elevating cortisol too much we create cortisol resistance at the cells. And now we're not able to get the anti-inflammatory message and inflammation increases in our system. So we got to keep stressing our control. We gotta keep stealth. You know Major infections biotoxins mold yeast lyme disease viral. Bacterial endotoxins right. These types of things create rampant inflammation can certainly accelerate the aging process in our bodies. We gotta keep those under control. Micro-toxins are one that we're really a lot of good. Researchers coming out talking about their effects on inflammation and we find these in certain foods like nuts and grains and stuff like that can oftentimes have micro-toxins even coffee. It's why i recommend a mycotoxin free coffee. It's been tested also in your home. If you're being exposed to mould mould is producing micro-toxins. Mike toxins produced by mold are basically their natural pesticides writes a mold produces these compounds in order to protect them in order to kill off their competitors so they can survive in also they're predators so they can survive and they damage us. They create massive inflammation in our system now. Vitamin d is also keen. I'm going to go through solutions as we get going here are as we go later. But vitamin d is also key when it comes to aging successfully we know that vitamin d is really critical for keeping inflammation under control and here ten signs. You made anymore vitamin d. If you notice that you have greater pain sensitivity that is a classic sign of vitamin d deficiency. That small things caused pain. That wouldn't normally cause pain. Somebody else came mood issues. Oftentimes grouchiness You know bipolar You know different types of irritability. Depression anxiety oftentimes related a vitamin d deficiency. Caesar things you need to look at sleepiness if you just feel like you're really fatigued and Extra higher levels of daytime sleepiness could be related to vitamin d deficiency muscle weakness. So you know you just feel like you're weak and you're trying to train you trying to lift things but you just feel really really weak gin. Kind of related fatigue in the muscle and the greater paint sensitivity. That's vitamin d deficiency are oftentimes can be high blood pressure can also be a factor with vitamin deficiency. A lot of people were vitamin d deficient develop hypertension high blood pressure Again endurance related to muscle your overall ability to produce cellular energy goes down a lot with vitamin d deficiency so it can be a big factor.

"Age we really don't die from infections. That's very rare in in a first world country but the body is hardwired itself to protect itself against some sort of infectious bacteria from damaging major regions of the body. And so the way that it's it's hardwired. This adaptation is through inflammation inflammation is an immune response where the body starts up regulating all these different immune cells that damage things and they take they certainly will target damage bacteria and protect us from dying from the infection. The unfortunate thing is when they're up when when we have inflammation up for a period of time. It damages are vital organs as well. You know we've all experienced like a sprained ankle and we've had swelling and pain in that area that's part of the inflammation processes damaging tissue. It's actually breaking down tissue so that the to the tissue can be rebuilt. it's also protecting against the infection. The problem is when that inflammation never stops and when it's a low grade Kind of smoldering level of inflammation over time that damages different regions right in affects every system of the body. And of course today we're talking about joints and the main things that will experience when we have chronic joint inflammation is joint degeneration osteoarthritis. And of course we will have pain rights. We'll have pain in the joint. While limited range of motion and mobility in the joint and we will obviously experience painted discomfort and a loss of interest star ranger motion and our ability to really live the way that we wanna live. So here's an example of a normal joint here's an example of osteoarthritic joint right a inflamed damaged joint now typically takes a minimum of twenty to thirty years of chronic joint inflammation. It's not like this happens overnight. Usually a long process. Twenty thirty years of chronic inflammation in the joint to get to do to degenerate. Like this case. So it's not even like a year or two. Although you know in certain cases you can have like a car accident whiplash or you know major trauma possibly to your knee. This is a knee joint for example. That accelerates the inflammation of time however usually these are processes that take quite quite a few years decades to

This is life saving information. And if you haven't subscribe to our channel. Please do that now. You never miss one of these valuable. Podcasts and i would be so honored if you took a moment and left us a five star review on apple. I tunes just simply scroll down to the bottom of your apple. Itunes podcast player under my show in. You'll see where it says. You know lieber review go ahead and leave on there and how would be just really honored if you did that. Thanks so much for being a part of our community and let's go into the show. Well hello there. Everybody this is dr. Today i'm talking about the fasting transformation. And how you can use fasting to help reduce inflammation and auto immunity and so fasting. I consider the most ancient inexpensive and powerful healing strategy known to mankind. Because if it's incredible ability to down regulate inflammation in the body to turn on genetic switches for the body to heal and repair itself. You know the body doesn't need any help. Healing just needs no interference. The body knows how to heal. We just have to remove. The interference and fasting is really the way to do that. It's incredible what can happen. And there's so much research coming out on this topic. Some really excited about this presentation. So most of us have heard about inflammation and inflammation is an immune response in our body. See more people. Throughout the history of mankind have died from some sort of chronic systemic infection than anything else throughout the history of mankind so that means an infection that got into the bloodstream spread throughout the body and went into you major organ system like the heart or the lungs and gave them pneumonia or got into the nervous system and caused meningitis and they died quickly and so to prevent a bacterial infection from killing us quickly. Our bodies have adapted over the years and they've credit this process called inflammation. And so when you get a cut when you sprain your ankle you you know you're joint gets inflamed your body associates any sort of tissue injury like any sort of trauma tissue injury with Almost like an abrasion where the bloodstream is affected and now bacteria can pile into the bloodstream and so it creates a whole bunch of inflammation which is an immune response all these immune cells that aggregate to that region to help prevent against the bacteria from getting in and taking over our body and literally eating our body so inflammation per protects against. It's also part of the healing process helps break down damaged tissue so then our body. Can you know that's moved out of the way. So now the body can go in and rebuild new healthier tissue saw part of the process. The problem is in our society. Today we have chronic systemic infection. Or i'm sorry. Chronic systemic inflammation and. That's the issue. So now we're we what we've gotta do as dampen the inflammatory response and we know that inflammation is at the root of practically every chronic health condition in our society effects. All the major organ systems and depending on your genetics.

I've done that. I've taken carello salon tribe. Done this don ryan. It sounds so simple. The other big one is mold a lot of people do mold exposures it portions of their life presently in the past that lead to big big problems and it's it leaves people sick insensitive to neuro-toxins and they don't why it's often miss because you don't see mold in then also a hidden infections. I would say the third. That people miss what i mean by that. Is things like cabin. -tations root canals. A lot of these infections are in the jaw unknowingly in keep people very sick and very sensitive. So you know those three. I think people should in fact pay more attention to is. If you don't feel you feel like you've tried everything you feel like you've adjusted your diet. Your hormones store right you know. Look in under some of those. Yeah it's really good in.

"Great thing about fasting. As fasting stimulates autophagy genes were body recycles damage components. So fasting itself is is very anti inflammatory. Whenever we eat food we need food. We are bringing. In bacteria in different potential pathogens and so our body creates more inflammation so the act of eating is more of an inflammatory act whereas fasting by nature. Because we're not eating. we're not increasing insulin. And insulin will activate inflammation because of that. it's inherently very anti inflammatory. One of the best ways to reduce inflammation is to do a fast and fasting will stimulate self-healing through this process of autophagy where our body will break down tissue cells and organ cells within the tissue like meadow conju that have been damaged by oxidative stress. Miscavige great impact on pain levels as well as chronic disease and things like that and so on a regular basis really good idea. Do intermittent fasting and so there are many different ways of intermittent fasting. If you're in chronic pain. I would really recommend doing something like you know a sixteen to eighteen hour fast daily and then once or twice a week doing like a full one day fast or even like a thirty six or forty eight hour fast possibly once a week doing a little bit of a longer fast can really help down regulate pain and stimulate morale tafa g and help you get
