It starts as something small—a little bloat, stiffness in the joints, maybe some brain fog. But for millions of people, it escalates into chronic pain, autoimmune disease, digestive issues, or even cancer.

And we’ve all been taught to chase symptoms with supplements, pills, and protocols… but what if the real fix was one foundational tool the body actually wants?

Dr. Milton Bastidas says the answer is enzymes.

In this episode, Dr. Bastidas—Director of Research & Development at Transformation Enzymes and a certified functional medicine expert—unpacks the truth about proteolytic enzymes and how they quietly regulate everything from immune overdrive and digestion to systemic inflammation and tissue repair.

We dig into the data behind enzymes and prostate cancer reversal, how chronic stress depletes your gut’s natural defenses, and why most people are walking around enzyme-deficient without even knowing it.

This one is dense in the best way—real protocols, real mechanisms, real hope for healing.

"No matter if we're speaking about metabolic syndrome, hypertension, autoimmune conditions, or cancer—they all have one common denominator, and that's inflammation." — Dr. Bastidas
