For the past three years I have embarked on a pursuit of nutritional balance with regards to macronutrients and eating frequency. While it made sense in theory it did not translate to sustainable benefit for my health longterm. It was pretty much in line with the FDA's nutritional recommendations with slightly more protein intake.

After experiencing memory loss and some other symptoms I decided to invest in a continous blood glucose monitor. I was shocked by what it showed me. I was essentially prediabetic. My current theory is that I was eating way too many carbohydrates, even though I was matching it with protein. I also gained a substantial amount of body fat, even though I was moving more.

In this episode I share my thoughts on two myths about the ketogenic diet: Does it harm our thyroid gland? Does it increase cortisol? I also outline the shocking diet that pro metabolic powerhouse Dr Broda Barnes recommended. I share three tips that have helped me to transition my mitochondria to burn fat instead of sugar.

There have been a lot of fear articles the past few years about olive oil on grocery store shelves being cut with canola and other vegetable oils. Is that true? What test can you do to tell if your grocery store olive oil is adulterated? What about the smoke point of olive oil? Is extra virgin olive oil safe to cook with? Is flavored olive oil pure? How long does olive oil retain its polyphenols and antioxidants after its harvested and extracted?

Tony Kasandrinos breaks down everything you need to know about olive oil and what inspired him to start selling his own from Greece. He breaks down the entire process from olive tree to bottle, what the different grades mean, what the ideal acidity level is, how olive oil degrades over time, why organic and cold pressed is necessary, and more.

I can't think of a better way to kick off the new year than with a show with my long time friend Jonathan Pantalis. This show is jam packed with a ton of useful information to help you optimize your health. He talks about his vegan days and what he thinks he did wrong and right.

We talk about conventional toilet paper and scent diffusers, candida overgrowth, turpentine, sugar, keto, intermittent fasting, deuterium, artifical intelligence, lock box for your smart phone, whats in his four shakes a day, how many grams of protein he hits by breakfast and before dinner, master amino pattern tablets, whey protein, why he likes pea protein, and adaptogenic herbs.

Prior to 2022, I was convinced that certain supplements were toxic. The arguments against essential elements like zinc, ascorbic acid, and iron can be so intricate and convincing that it leads us off the path of a grounded approach to human health.  In this final episode of the year I give a recap of the things that I changed my mind about and why. My breakthrough in understanding was also a breakthrough in fear. The word "toxic" has been trending for awhile and it is usually attached to supplements for a myriad of reasons. Now I feel at peace that I can walk into the supplement section at a health food store and see all of them as tools that can be used in different scenarios for different people. I also talk about cancel culture and an exercise that people can do to be less emotionally reactive and harder to manipulate. 

I look forward to changing my mind on many things once again in 2023 and I hope that you'll join me for the ride.

Tim Gray received the double whammy hit of several mercury amalgam fittings and heavy sushi consumption. The end result was severe mercury toxicity. He used several therapies to bring himself back to life including hyperbaric oxygen and chelation therapy. This was the birth of the United Kingdom's top biohacker.

In this interview he talks about what symptoms point to mercury toxicity, hair tissue mineral analysis, Dr Andrew Cutler, the lithium connection, his favorite intravenous treatments, why bitters are helpful for the gallbladder, EMFs, the best place to sit on an airplane, intermittent fasting, how to increase stomach acid, how to deactivate the sp!ke pr0te1n, and his favorite health gadget used at home.

Do you believe in copper toxicity? Do you think that hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is a legitimate science? Can you use HTMA to diagnose hormonal imbalances? Clark Englebert of Nutritional Analytics shares his philosophy on "nutritional balancing" and the shifts in HTMA results that he's seen working with clients in as little as three months.

The question that I would like answered is: Is my high copper in my test caused by high dosing copper supplements for two months or is it caused by me being vegan and vegetarian for two thirds of my life? The answer might be revealed in my next HTMA test in three months.

Inbetween a million things breaking at my off grid homestead I had a few minutes to answer questions that listeners sent in. I talk about iodine supplementation, what makes my vitamin C different, how much cod liver oil to take, how to fix male hair loss, heart palpitations, taking breaks from supplements, how ascorbic acid affects our gut microbiome, thoughts on BPC-157, sodium ascorbate vs ascorbic acid, good starting dose for ascorbic acid, and more.
