What a great conversation with Udo Erasmus on the myths behind the seed oil industry. Udo's story of how he came to use healthy oils for his on own restoration of health and why he took the next steps to help others worldwide. Udo Erasmus is a health food expert and author. 1980 marked a major turning point for Udo, when he was poisoned by pesticides. To heal himself, he turned his attention to the field of nutrition. Several years of research culminated in his first book, Fats and Oils, which established him as a sought-after expert on the subject. In 1983, he began to research technology for pressing and packaging edible, fresh oils. Udo published his best seller Fats That Heal Fats That Kill, which became recognized as the "bible on fats," and then authored a condensed version called Choosing the Right Fats. He coauthored Omega-3 Cuisine, which includes original recipes by celebrity chef Alan Roettinger. To set new standards for food oils and other health-supporting consumer products, Udo partnered with Flora Manufacturing and Distributing Ltd. in 1994 to create the Udo’s Choice® health product line, which includes EFA-rich oil blends, probiotic blends, digestive enzyme blends, a fiber (prebiotic) blend, a greens blend with fermented greens, and pet supplements. In 2005, Udo was inducted into the CHFA Hall of Fame for his tireless efforts educating the public about the difference between good oils and bad oils and for developing higher production standards of unrefined flax and other oils, methods which are still used today. Since 1986, Udo has completed more than 5,000 live presentations and 3,000 media interviews in over 30 countries, and has written hundreds of articles. Udo earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of British Columbia, followed by graduate studies in biochemistry and genetics. He is the father of three grown children, resides in Vancouver, B.C.

Case Study: Plasma Donations and Proteins What could go wrong with simply donating plasma for the purposes of money and a very good cause of helping those who have a need for plasma? There are counter risks to donating plasma at such a frequency that your body suffers with protein deficiency. This episode is about a real scenario that happened with one of my most least likely patient’s to have a protein problem, or even the type of injury sustained from a situation he would typically be able to perform with his eyes closed and one hand behind his back. The science and physiology behind the role protein plays in homeostasis is paramount, extremely overlooked in the fitness/health space and can manifest in many ways.

In this enlightening and mildly entertaining episode, Dr. Wade Anunson pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked areas in modern health care—the incomplete thyroid panel. If you’ve ever been told your thyroid is “normal” but still struggle with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, or hair loss, this episode is your aha moment. Most doctors check only TSH and T4, a narrow snapshot of a much more intricate hormonal orchestra. Dr. Wade explains why this limited view can miss the real upstream causes of thyroid dysfunction—like adrenal stress, nutrient deficiencies, poor liver conversion, and cellular resistance. He dives deep into the downstream effects of a sluggish thyroid on metabolism, mood, and mitochondrial health, painting a vivid picture of how interconnected your endocrine system truly is. You’ll learn what a comprehensive thyroid panel should include—free T3, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies (TPO & TgAb), and even the overlooked macronutrient foundations. With Dr. Wade’s signature clarity and humor, you’ll discover how to think functionally, test smarter, and finally connect the dots between your symptoms and the deeper imbalances driving them. Whether you’re a clinician seeking clarity or a listener on a mission to reclaim your energy, this episode redefines what it means to “check your thyroid.” It’s not just about numbers—it’s about restoring balance, vitality, and confidence in your body’s innate intelligence. Full Thyroid Panel: TSH, T3, T4, T3 Uptake, Free T3, Reverse T3, Free T4, FTI, Thyroglobulin Ab, Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) 🔗 Listen now on Life Force Radio — and learn why the right testing can change everything.

Dr. Wade discusses his experience with treating a colleague dealing with secondary symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AFib), emphasizing the importance of understanding the autonomic nervous system's role in cardiac function. He explains the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) systems, highlighting their balance and impact on the body. Dr. Wade also mentions the patient's upcoming cardioversion and the need for medical interventions as the primary care protocol to determine medically the cause and treatment options. The role of this request, to be fully transparent is that of a supportive nature at the patient's request. I do NOT treat AFib or other heart conditions. It's imperative to understand the stress response and its importance in evaluating the patient's autonomic nervous system to prevent abnormal signals causing conditions like AFib. Additionally, Dr. Wade discusses the significance of spinal alignment and neural tone in maintaining overall health and homeostasis, particularly in relation to the hypothalamus's role in maintaining pH, body temperature, blood volume and constituents within the blood. There is brief description of what Homeostasis is and its importance. The key with this brief episode is to gain perspective on the causes behind Atrial Fibrillation, not as an "All inclusive" meta-analysis or a specific treatment FOR AFib, but for insight in patient's holistic options that may get at the heart of the problem (pun intended), the autonomic nerve system, electrical circuitry of the heart, trace and alkaline minerals, fat and protein digestion and assimilation and the down stream effects of chronic stress and the depletion of foundational minerals affecting enzyme production and homeostasis. The connections between spinal health, stress and resetting the internal mechanisms within the body without invasive drugs or surgeries are specifically sought after in today's health care arena. It is to these patients I serve. Cheers, Dr. Wade www.drwadeanunson.com

Dr. Wade Anunson and Morley Robbins discuss the complexities of iron metabolism, emphasizing the role of stress and copper in regulating iron levels. Morley highlights the misconceptions around iron deficiency anemia, noting that low iron levels can be due to copper deficiency or stress-induced iron sequestration. He explains how stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline increase hepcidin production, leading to low ferritin levels. They also discuss the impact of glyphosate on mineral metabolism and the importance of a balanced diet rich in copper and retinol for optimal health. Morley promotes his Root Cause Protocol (RCP) for improving copper metabolism and energy production and touches on his upcoming release of the Second Edition of "CuRe Your Fatigue". www.RCP.123.org CuRe Your Fatigue (First Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1662910282/?bestFormat=true&k=cure%20your%20fatigue%20morley%20robbins&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_k0_1_32_de&crid=1J9AUQN6ZSVZ8&sprefix=cure%20your%20fatigue%20morley%20robbins www.Drwadeanunson.com

My guest today is Human Design expert, Diederik Rijkens, an Organizational Alignment and Transformation Consultant. He helps individuals, teams, and organizations align their strengths with their goals, so they can thrive authentically. I discovered Human Design about 11 years ago, and being fascinated with human behavior and my extensive history with DISC and to a lesser degree the Enneagram, it immediately peaked my interest. Whether you have some experience with it or not, this conversation will help to see the depth and yet not over power the newcomer.

This episode brings some history of a young military man forward to share his story after some 50 years ago. This will be an important stamp on some history that many aren't still around to share. I was fortunate enough to have my friend Earle share his experience while in the army. This episode was recorded in 2024 but held close with reticence for release. Earle is in his mid nineties and wanted most to have this story be told. Back in the day it was forbidden to share this with anyone and he followed that request "to a T", but it was eating at him to get it off his chest. Earle is a brilliant expression of Life Force for good. Cheers, Dr. Wade Drwadeanunson.com @wadeanunsondc The Feminine Carnivore Cookbook (drwadeanunson.com)
