There is a lot of information floating around on the internet about water filtration. Some say that distillation is the holy grail, for some its "raw" spring water, and others say it is "alkalized" electron rich water. What we want is acid free, contaminant free, and properly mineralized water. Everything else (rose quartz infused, vortexed, energetic retrainment) ALWAYS comes secondary to that. Distilled water does not remove all impurities and leaves the volatile acids in your product...

One of the most demonized foods in the natural health world is legumes. We hear that the anti nutrients in them are going to prevent absorption of nutrients and they will cause gas and bloating so they are not worth eating. What isn't talked about is the benefits of soluble fiber as it relates to bile and hormone and toxin removal. Karen Hurd helped her daughter recover after she was incapacitated from organophosphates in an insecticide spray. She says that beans were the ticket to restoring...

Many practitioners tell people to never supplement vitamin D. This was my belief system for several years because on the surface it made sense. When I dug deeper I found that there is something called a "biphasic dose response curve". That is a fancy way of saying: Take too much or too little and either way will increase calcification of soft tissues (Drueke, et al 2012). Dr Tyler Panzner has a PhD in Mollecular and Cellular Pharmacology and looks at nutritional supplementation through a...

You may have heard that you are a "slow" or "fast" oxidizer of caffeine which determines how you respond to coffee and caffeine. Until now I never understood what it is we're after when we consume caffeine: is it energy or is it paraxanthine?  Shawn Wells, author of the Energy Formula and cofounder of Enfinity, breaks down the metabolite that is behind all of the health benefits of caffeine. Paraxanthine is still a stimulant  but its effects are smoother than caffeine, especially for us slow...

Over 500 years ago Paracelsus, a Swiss physician and alchemist, wondered if diseases could be alleviated using lodestones, natural earth magnets. In 1898 Nikola Tesla published a paper stating that one of the early observed and remarkable features of pulsed magnetism was its apparent harmlessness. Ten to one hundred thousand volts was passed through three feet wide coils to treat the body without contact. Since then, Georges Lakhovsky, Antoine Prioere, Robert Becker and Abraham Liboff built...

Gingko and PS have been proven in clinical studies to potentiate each others...

The idea that nobody is iron deficient and everyone is iron dysregulated has gone mainstream the past couple of years. The theory is that even though your ferritin level is single digits you have plenty of iron, its just stored deep in your tissues where blood tests don't measure. What if there is another side to the story? Caitlyn Hartigan, founder of the Iron Protocol, joins us again to talk about iron deficiency and all of the myths surrounding it. She often says that iron overload...

The first podcast I ever recorded was with David Milburn of Hypoallergenic Air to talk about air quality. Because the show was posted several years ago, many people haven't heard it. They use nature inspired technologies to filter indoor air. According to the EPA, indoor air quality has 2 to 5 times the pollutants of outdoor air. I love that they provide whole home solutions such  as their Bipolar unit that works with a buildings HVAC system. Whether you want to invest in some units for your...
