I have been hearing about iron overload since 2012 from various natural health educators. In 2019 the seeds that were sprouted in my mind fully developed as I completely embraced the idea that everybody has iron overload and nobody is iron deficient. I went full steam ahead with that idea for the next several years, making it a core part of my health message. I practiced what I preached and donated blood twice. The first time I felt superhuman - very mentally clear and energetic. The second time I donated blood it gave me extreme fatigue, brain fog, and muscular weakness that took me a long time to recover from. This show is not meant to disparage or restart a fight, but to make it crystal clear to those that don't follow me on social media my stance on iron. Many women and even some men (former vegans/vegetarians) are suffering from the symptoms of iron deficiency such as hair loss and fatigue. Most people are unaware that ascorbic acid suppresses hepcidin at 1000mg dose which increases non-heme iron absorption. That is important to know if you are trying to build your savings account (serum ferritin) with supplementing iron bisglycinate. I also talk about how L-lysine amino acid is underrated for restoring your iron status, the role of vitamin E, and how the widespread heavy metal toxicity makes iron deficiency worse. I talk about why serum ferritin is in fact an accurate representation of tissue iron stores according to top iron researchers, why zinc is crucial for proper iron metabolism, how you can tell if you are deficient in iron without any bloodwork, the best iron supplements i've found, the permanent brain damage to the baby that occurs if a pregnant women is iron deficient, and I ask why the Root Cause Protocol people never talk about iron deficiency without anemia and the three different stages.

In this months Q&A episode I answer listener questions including: What are my thoughts on B vitamins? Should we supplement them or get them from food? What is one thing the anti PUFA crowd gets wrong? What are my thoughts on testing omega 3:6 ratio from a dried blood spot sample? What do I think about Dr Matthew Walker on Diary of a CEO Podcast saying "don't supplement large doses of melatonin"? What is a good dose of melatonin for kids? Have I ever taken melatonin to lower anxiety? What do I think about red light and PEMF mats? What is my parasite strategy? What belief or mindset shift created the biggest change in my health? I share why I think vitamin B3 as niacinamide/nicotinamide is one of the most important ones to take, how B3 protects against several different types of cancers, why cigars don't protect from pathogens in oysters, the immense stress lowering effect I felt when I stopped demonizing ascorbic acid, zinc, iron, and vitamin D supplements, and why I think the should observe the diets of deer and elk with the PUFA conversation instead of getting lost in analyzing endless research studies.

Finally, an elegant water filter that actually filters out all contaminants and structures the water at the same time. The Mitolife EZ Flow structured water filter cleans the water in the first four stages, using a combination of a 5 micron sediment filter, KDF55, reverse osmosis, cation resin, and catalytic carbon. Inbetween those effective filtration processes the water is flowing through stages that make the water "ordered" or "coherant". This includes powerful neodynium magnets and 850 nanometer light on a hydrophilic surface, replicating the research of Dr Gerald Pollack and others on forming structured water in the laboratory. Of all the wavelengths of light, infrared light forms it the best. It also goes through elite type 1 unpolished shungite from Russia. This has never been done before in any water filter in the world. Containing 95% + carbon, it is a source of "buckminsterfullerine", or C60, an expensive supplement that people take for anti-aging and detoxification purposes. The remaining content of shungite is similar to shilajit with regards to its mineral content, so it is a natural remineralizer, even if just very small trace amounts. People in Russia have been using shungite to purify collected water in the wild since at least the 1700s, but likely much longer. There are also published studies on shungite's EMF protective effects, and we know that man-made EMFs have the ability to make water less coherant. This is my favorite part about this water filter. Wait, there's more. Then it goes through 100 to 200 vortexes right before it travels up to your spigot. Inbetween draws from the storage tank there is a large build-up of exclusion zone (EZ) water in the infrared light chamber. This is the most exciting product that I've ever released and I am excited for you to experience this water that has a gel-like thicker consistency.

I have noticed the hatred towards electric vehicles growing the past five years in the natural health world. The topic has become political and there is a clinging to tradition, similar to people that didn't want to abandon the horse and buggy for the automobile, but that will pass with time. I have been saying for years: Why not see the utility and different use cases in both electric cars and gas and diesel cars? In this long time coming episode I talk about why I love owning electric vehicles being 100% off grid, the expensive lessons i've learned over the years to do it easily, how electric cars can provide ultimate freedom with solar panels, the only two car brands I found that work easily off grid, the details of my off grid setup, and I share one source of information that breaks apart every common myth you've ever heard about EVs. The biggest focus of the show is on the electromagnetic field exposure that you get riding in them. I talk about radiofrequency (RF), magnetic, and electric fields and specific supplements that fully protect your cells and mitochondria from harmful effects, namely lipid peroxidation. Human health is about adaptation, not putting yourself in a bubble. We can enjoy modern technological advancements without sacrificing our health or sovereignty.

In this episode Dr Stephanie Seneff PhD explains how autism, Parkinson's, ADHD, brain fog, anxiety, depression, and hormone disruption are related to the pesticide glyphosate. She talks about the mechanisms of how it affects bacteria and disrupts our ecosystem. I ask her if donating blood lowers glyphosate, potential supplements that can help remove it, and her thoughts on alcohol, cannabis and tobacco as they relate to glyphosate. She talks about why she loves sulfur rich foods, why she isn't a fan of Ozempic and statin drugs, how manganese gets targeted by glyphosate, her thoughts on gluten intolerance, and more.

In the past few weeks there has been another round of a "bug" going around here in Idaho. I started to feel symptoms but hit it hard and knocked out whatever I caught within one day. In this short episode I give a crash course on what I believe to be the most important supplements to take when you feel like you are dealing with a viral infection. I prioritize vitamin, mineral, and enzyme supplements before going to herbs, methylene blue, or antiparasitics. Vitamins and minerals are foundational and deficiencies are common. During an acute or long-term infection your burn rate of nutrients will be a lot higher so you must supplement accordingly. I talk about the importance of taking copper if you're taking zinc, the exact biochemical mechanisms how ascorbic acid works to balance the system, the lipid peroxidation and viral connection, why vitamin E is an underrated supplement, why superoxide dismutase (SOD) is so important to support during long covid, how lithium has been a known anti viral since 1980, and why melatonin should be a crucial part of your antiviral medicine cabinet.

Are you overwhelmed with all of the different views about nutrition on the internet? Are you scared of consuming sugar because of all of the propaganda? Are you short on cash and can't spend money on lots of functional medicine tests? If you answered yes to any of those then this is a great episode for you. Jayton Miller shares the basics of how to create a healthy metabolism and how to assess the state of your metabolism using your body temperature and pulse readings. We talk about the importance of vitamin A and why its not a toxin, he shares why we should lower our polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake, why eating throughout the day is important, how to stop waking up in the middle of the night, the dangers of excessive estrogen, and much more.

With how unnaturally fast paced life is, social media notifications, neverending emails, letters in the mail to respond to, staying aware of all of the various toxins we're exposed to, dodging grifters online that just want to take your money and sell you their program, it is very easy to be chronically stressed. Practices such as turning off your notifications, putting your phone in airplane mode when you are walking in the forest, keeping do not disturb on all the time, carving time out of your day to not stare at screens, are some common strategies to reduce stress. In this episode Dr Scott Sherr returns to the show to talk about: why its not just about healing your trauma, the mitochondrial harm that occurs with chronic stress, the role of GABA, how methylene blue supplementation can help, his thoughts on alcohol and cannabis, carbon dioxide therapy, and more.
