November 21, 2023Acid – Alkaline Balance For Optimum Health with Dr. Susan Brown
Donna is joined by Dr. Susan Brown who, in a highly informative previous episode, shared her specialist knowledge of preventing and treating osteoporosis. This time, they discuss a topic that not a lot of people know about – maintaining the right acid-alkaline in your body.
They discuss why this is so important and how to measure your PH. Dr. Brown and Donna explain how to use the foods you eat to help yourself to maintain the right balance, in particular, the importance of magnesium and potassium. As well as covering the role stress plays in producing too much acid.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Maintaining the correct balance between acid and alkaline (PH) in our bodies is important for health.
Some areas of the body are meant to be more acidic than others e.g. the stomach is very acidic. But to be able to maintain the right balance in the right areas your body needs the right food, rest and lifestyle.
The first urine of the morning is a very good indicator of overall PH balance.
Try to stay very mineral rich during the day. You can do this using food.
Because of the hormones that are released when we are stressed we can easily become too acidic, which is why managing stress well is important.
Honey is a very powerful healing medicine.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I got interested in people who knew about how to regain that natural human potential for health. ´
‘Different compartments of the body have a different PH. ´
‘The best way to handle stress is to be absolutely grateful for everything. ´

November 07, 2023A Journey Off The Spectrum with Holly Larsen
For this episode, Donna is joined by Holly Larsen a proud mom who along with her husband used food, including coconut kefir, to help their daughter Tula to recover from autism. This is an amazing episode that contains important information that everyone can benefit from learning.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
An unhealthy gut cannot extract enough nutrients from food. Without access to these nutrients, the body, including the brain, malfunctions.
The earlier you start rebuilding the gut biome the better. After age 6 it becomes harder to recover.
You need to crowd out the bad bacteria. Kefir, in particular coconut kefir, is incredibly good at doing this.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Supplements are not the answer. ´
‘I feel like the story has a divine arrangement. ´
‘The whole family can drink it (kefir coconut). ´

October 23, 2023Improving Brain Harmony with Carol Garner-Houston
Donna is joined by Carol Garner-Houston, founder of Brain Harmony, an award-winning, drug-free, therapist-supported at-home program that improves cognition, nervous system function, brain health, and healing. They discuss strengthening your brain to better handle stress and regulating the Vagus nerve, which improves organ function, rest, and digestion. All of which contribute to healing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Stress is everywhere, we can´t control it, but we can build neurological resilience to cope with it better.
In many cases it is possible to reset a dysfunctional nervous system and improve brain function.
The Vagus nerve connects our important organs – when it functions well our overall health improves.
The right music, sound waves and stimulus can rebalance the Vagus nerve and damp down our stress response.
Give the brain the right inputs.
Brain Harmony can be used by all family members. Some nervous pets respond positively.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We can strengthen the brain and the nervous system. ´
‘We are seeing the value of regulating the brain and nervous system in the healing of GI issues. ´
‘Generalized inflammation, we’re able to decrease that by tapping into the Vagus nerve. ´

October 10, 2023The Connection Between Health and Protein Folding with Rowena Gates
Donna is joined by Rowena Gates, the co-founder of Eng3. Its Nano-Vi devices are designed to address the problem of oxidative stress and cell damage, which accelerate ageing and disease development.
To work proteins must fold properly. The oxidants we are exposed to stop that from happening. Rowena explains how the Nano-Vi device can aid protein folding.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
To work properly proteins, need to fold into 3D shapes. As we age, they do this less.
Protein misfolding is believed to be one of the causes of several serious diseases including Alzheimer’s and plays a role in the aging process.
Proteins are immersed in water. The Nano-Vi changes the energy state of that water, providing the environment protein needs to work properly.
No device is going to solve the issues caused by a poor diet.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s going to support the immune system. ´
‘It´s actually working on all of the proteins in the cell.’
‘It’s an upfront investment, but over time, it becomes very inexpensive to use.’

September 25, 2023Healing After Co-Vid with Leo Galland
In this episode, Donna is joined by Leo Galland, MD, a board-certified internist, and creator of the Coronavirus Guidebook. He explains the long-term impact CO-VID has on the body, in particular, the negative impact it has on ACE2 which plays a vital role in healing, and protecting the body and blood vessel health.
Leo explains how the circulatory system is impacted negatively, which in turn puts incredible stress on the brain, nerves, and other systems. He also shares the step-by-step approach he is using to enable people to fully recover from COVID.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Long-term inflammation after COVID is common. Some end up with long CoVid, while others have enough energy left to get through day-to-day life despite still being quite sick.
Both long COVID and post-infection inflammation are treatable.
The virus damages ACE2.
ACE2 helps maintain blood vessels, so circulation can be inhibited, leading to brain fog, shortness of breath etc.
The body takes in oxygen but cannot deliver it well via damaged blood vessels.
Healing the gut microbiome helps enormously, it enables the huge number of ACE2 receptors that live there to reactivate.
Which treatments work depends on the disease path.
The virus and fragments hang out mainly in the GI tract, causing inflammation and preventing absorption of amino acids, which impacts the brain, the nervous system and other body systems.
Fermented food strengthens T effector lymphocytes.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It actually takes several months for basically healthy young people to recover from all of the physiologic abnormalities created by this virus (CoVid).’
‘The gut has a major influence on long COVID.’
‘The full impact of COVID on our species – I think it’s going to be a long time before we know what that is.’

They discuss many subjects, including whether autoimmune issues are just the body going crazy or whether something else is going on. As well as talking about the prevalence of the spike protein, blood clots, fatigue, long Co-Vid, methylene blue, and ozone.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Most people who have autoimmune issues have a leaky gut.
Years later, some people´s bodies are still getting an immune upregulation response to having had CoVid/the vaccine.
The body does not waste resources. It is having an autoimmune response for a reason.
Almost everyone can recover.
A tailored approach is essential.
Getting the blood flowing is vital.
How healthy mitochondria is can be measured.
Optimizing your health habits is the best way to protect yourself.
BEST MOMENTS

August 21, 2023Everyone Has Reflux; Overview of Digestion and the Causes of Reflux with Dr Steven Sandberg Lewis
This is an episode that contains many things that will both shock you and compel you to share with others! Donna is joined by Dr Steven Sandberg Lewis, a naturopathic physician and author. Steven talks about the different organs of the digestive system and the mouth and their purpose, explaining why they sometimes don’t work well for us and a true understanding of how our digestion is supposed to function. Steven also focuses on his expert topic, reflux; what it is and its varying causes. He also gives tips on how to prevent reflux including something as simple as drinking more water! Donna and Steven also talk about the role of constipation in many digestive issues including reflux and also why many children and babies suffer from reflux problems.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The oesophagus has two sphincters, one at the top and one at the bottom. The bottom sphincter stops stomach contents from refluxing into the oesophagus.
You swallow less salvia and make less salvia when you sleep which is why often reflux symptoms can be worse at night.
If you don’t produce enough stomach acid it means you can’t kill the bacteria often found in your mouth which can be a major contributor to reflux.
Heartburn can be caused by reflux but this isn’t always the case, it can be caused by other things.
Stress can impact digestion, as your brain focuses on survival tactics, not things like correct digestion.
LPR is a type of reflux that only affects the voice, breathing and the lower head so has different symptoms to what many people associate with reflux.
Finding a personalised diet that works for you, that doesn’t give you an overproduction of gas, can be an effective way to tackle reflux.
Don’t underestimate the impact of chewing on your digestion including reflux, particularly for children.
Fasting and letting the stomach be empty, is important for good digestive function.
BEST MOMENTS
“Everybody has got some kind of reflux”
“The stomach is always acidic, what happens is when you eat food it buffers the acid”
“You don’t have to have reflux to have heartburn”
“Burping can be caused by eating fast, swallowing a lot of air but also digestion”
“If you can burp that’s great because if you couldn’t you’d be in so much pain”

July 24, 2023The Unique Benefits of Smoothies & Making Data Informed Decisions About Your Health with Tess Masters
Tess is a recipe developer and smoothie expert. She joins Donna in this episode to talk all about the many benefits of smoothies, tips to improve your recipes as well as the common mistakes people make when adding smoothies to improve their health. Donna and Tess also talk about the importance of looking for credible sources of information and taking a personal approach to everything you do regarding health and diet.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Most fruits are cooling which makes them hydrating but you can be mindful about adding things to your smoothies to warm the body, such as ginger and cinnamon.
You can make great savoury smoothies which are essentially cold soups.
Smoothies can be a great solution for those who have allergies and sensitivities because you choose every element that you add into it and can tailor it to your specific needs.
Adding lemon or lime juice to your smoothies, helps to elevate and lift their flavours, especially in ones which are savoury based.
Think about the flavour profiles in your favourite foods and translate this into your smoothie making.
It’s important to test if you are sensitive to oxalates, you can do this by having a food high in them and watch for your responses.
We all need good education around smoothies, to ensure we are choosing the rigth elements and ingredients for us. For example, many people would react to chia seeds unknowingly, flax seeds are a great alternative.
There is a lot of misinformation out there that promises quick wins and solutions but the articles actually have no real content or credible information.
BEST MOMENTS
“It’s a way to get a lot of nutrients in one drink”
“One of the biggest mistakes people make is they put too much fruit in the smoothie”
“It’s just liquefied food”
“It’s really important to know what’s appropriate for you and making data driven decisions about health”
“Really think about where the information is coming from and ensure you’re getting science based credible information”

July 10, 2023Why We All Need to Supplement Copper and Silver with Expert Robert Scott Bell
Donna is joined by copper and silver expert Robert Scott Bell in this episode to help clarify and demystify the confusing rhetoric around supplementing with both copper and silver. Robert not only talks about the many benefits of these metals for our immune systems and gut but also gives tips on how to safely take them and the right way to introduce them into your daily routine in a way and from a source that suits you.
Donna and Robert also talk about the microbiome and also discuss more important minerals including silica, that frequently get dismissed or undersold and the ways we can utilise their unique benefits too.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Silver can be a great accelerator in improving your gut health especially when taken in the right way and dosage alongside something like aloe.
Taking aloe alongside silver can help it more effective, by keeping the silver bioactive and bypassing the stomach and ensuring it gets into the gut
Robert has seen gut recovery from people taking silver and it almost always happens within 6 weeks!
We are beginning to see the impact of long covid on long-term health but there is some research that has seen the healing benefits of taking silver and copper.
When encountering a virus in the body, natural silver prevents it from replicating.
Those with autism often test highly for copper but it’s important to understand the data and science behind this, usually they test highly because of the inflammation they are experiencing.
Copper has a big role to play when it comes to systemic inflammation reduction without damaging other parts of the body such as the immune system.
Copper with magnesium helps our cells regenerate, magnesium alone isn’t enough to have the desired effect, you need both to work together.
People are frequently misdiagnosed with iron deficiency when it’s actually copper that they need.
Having good copper stores allows you to be in the sun for longer, allowing you to take in more vitamin D.
Having strong connective tissues is protective if you become diagnosed with cancer, silica aids in building strong tissue.
When beginning to use homoeopathy, start with lower doses but with a higher frequency, this is where Robert has seen the best results.
Homoeopathy comes from the West, yet we are still very cautious and dismissive of it/
Silver and copper both have antimicrobial properties which means they can help with things like fungal infections and ear infections.
BEST MOMENTS
“I’ve not had to go beyond 6 to 8 weeks to see recovery”
“We don’t need to wait for a big pharma drug, we already have the tools rights now”
“The key to viral issues is viral replication, we stop that with silver”
“Zinc needs copper in order to do its job or regeneration, they’re both critical”
“Having adequate copper stores allows you to be in the sun for longer without getting burnt”
“Copper is one of the most anti-parasitic substance in creation”
