How does your mineral status show you what state of stress you're in? Can you over-supplement magnesium? What does low carb do to your potassium levels? What happens if you don't eat enough salt? What do prescription medications do to your minerals?

Loren de la Cruz of Innate Nutrition shares her knowledge and experience working with clients via hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) and the full monty iron panel. She answers an extensive Q&A that covers magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium.

In this solo episode I share my mistakes and what i've learned from them in two years of homesteading. My research over the past 15 years has lead me to the fact that our entire infrastructure is built on a house of cards that can topple over at any moment. We recently saw what happened in Texas and how the powers-that-shouldn't-be handled that situation.

Stocking plastic water bottles in the garage isn't enough for me. I prefer to have a five, ten and 20 year plan if supply chains were cut off. I'm focused in on abundant clean air, food, and water and having the ability to raise a strong family without much reliance on the system. Mariah and I jumped into homesteading with the mindset that we will learn through experience. Reading homesteading books can be useful but we learn the fastest through making mistakes. When it comes to animal husbandry, like human health, the details really matter. Having access to the right tools can make it a lot easier. In this episode I focus mostly on milking goats and chickens and what I wish someone would have told me when I got started.

What effects do sunglasses and contacts have on human health? What can you tell about the state of someones health when you look into their eyes? How are melanin and iron related? What are the causes of floaters, cataracts and dry eyes?

I explore all of these questions with Dr of Optometry Taylor DeGroot. She takes a holistic approach to eye health, taking into account the effects of excess polyunsaturated fatty acids, excess iron and excess indoor living.

When people think about vitamin D many things immediately come to mind: It's the immune molecule. Most people are low in it. Even if you're getting sunlight you're still low in it. You have to supplement it in the winter. Low D is why people get the flu... and so on. What if all of this is factually incorrect?

Jim Stephenson Jr is an expert researcher on Secosteroid Hormone D, commonly called Vitamin D. In this episode he breaks down many of the myths that people believe about it, why testing is inaccurate, how vitamin D OVERLOAD is linked to autoimmune disease, and what we should really be focusing on.  His Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/517807781731760 Chronic Illness Recovery: https://www.facebook.com/chronicillnessrecovery Trevor Marshall:

A ten year journey with lyme disease that left her unable to walk or finish a sentence led Maddy Rae Cooper to SOT: Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy. That was the silver bullet that knocked it out for her. She also healed from anti-depressant and birth control using nutrition and supplementation.

Maddy shares her thoughts on the Germ versus Terrain Theory in the context of Lyme disease and how spirochetes work like a virus. I ask her questions from listeners in the second half of the show that include:

-best precautions to take when hiking amongst ticks

- can I safely live with a copper IUD?

- is Lyme related to emotional trauma?

- if pathogens are helpful why can they cause severe/permanent damage to the host?

- is Lyme biological warfare?

- is copper toxicity a real thing or just a vitamin A deficiency?

- treatment options for coinfection of epstein bar virus?

Do you want a bicycle? How about a motorbike? An electric motorcycle? An off-road truck? How about a sports car? Morley Robbins used this analogy when talking about the many expressions of ceruloplasmin, active copper.

Getting to the root cause of our chronic health issues is found in mineral balancing. In this interview mineral expert Morley Robbins talks about retinol, hormone D (vitamin D), copper, mitochondria and why we need to replace copper everyday as it is used up. He makes the important distinction between "copper dependent" and "copper driven".

In 1954 John C. Lilly created the world’s first floatation tank, an enclosed salt bath for the purpose of studying human consciousness. The research was pretty wild and involved psychedelics and dolphins.

Since then float tank spas have sprouted up all around the world. “Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy”, or REST, has a multitude of benefits: decreased anxiety and depression, increased brain connectivity, increased mental clarity and memory, improved circulation, increased athletic performance, and even spontaneous emotional healing.

I’m really glad that I met Max Casa of Serenity Floats. He has studied the float tank scene for years and has designed effective float tanks for home use if one wishes to implement this powerful therapy into their daily routine. Use the discount code BLACKBURN to get $3K off of your tank price.

Every substance has specific electromagnetic emission that can be recorded and played back into water. This is called "imprinting" infoceuticals and is the basis for the Infopathy technology.  Of course, the foundation should be clean drinking water free of all contaminants, acids and properly mineralized. After that, there is a lot you can do to water, one of the coolest things being Anton's glowing IC pad device. In this interview Anton Fedorenko shares the deep science behind it and gives practical advice to those that buy bottled water at the store to make it healthier.

While it can be uncomfortable to talk about like many topics related to health, defecation is a part of life. Constipation, or the flip side, loose stools, has become the norm for many people. This has created a market for colon hydrotherapy and fiber supplements.

Atom Bergstrom has been writing “Turd Eye” newsletters breaking down intestinal health and what a proper bowel movement and frequency looks like. He talks about endotoxins, gallbladder health, iron overload, the effect of animal and plant foods on digestion, and even shares his tequila elixir that he makes every night.
