You may have heard that you are a "slow" or "fast" oxidizer of caffeine which determines how you respond to coffee and caffeine. Until now I never understood what it is we're after when we consume caffeine: is it energy or is it paraxanthine?  Shawn Wells, author of the Energy Formula and cofounder of Enfinity, breaks down the metabolite that is behind all of the health benefits of caffeine. Paraxanthine is still a stimulant  but its effects are smoother than caffeine, especially for us slow metabolizers, which according to one study is nearly 60% of us. He shares the current research on this fascinating alkaloid up to this point and I share my experience drinking the Update energy drink as a coffee replacement.

The mitochondria are not just the powerhouse of the cell; they are the engines that run our entire body. If we can remove the obstructions to energy production (calcification, lipofuscin and fibrosis) everything works better, we experience mental clarity and emotional resilience.

What are the things to look for when shopping for an air filtration unit? Does the company use flashy words like "ultra" in front of their filtration media to make it sound better than it is? Do you know what the four grades of filtery efficiency is? Are higher grades always better or can they be worse for your situation? Are stand alone air filtration units even the highest choice for your situation? Did you know that your HVAC system moves 30 to 40 times more air than your $1000 HEPA filtration unit?  David Milburn of HypoAllergenic Air joins me for the first time since 2019 (my first podcast episode) to talk about all of the dirty secrets in the air filtration industry. I am passionate about this topic because I see many parallels between the air filter and water filter marketing tactics. There are lots of razzle and dazzle claims without much substance behind them.

Identifying Deceptive Marketing in the Air Filtration Industry with David Milburn

If you've been in the natural health world for awhile there is a good chance that you've heard about alkaline water ionizers, overpriced multi-level marketing machines that produce water rich in molecular hydrogen. The questions to ask are: Do those machines produce hydrogen efficiently? Does drinking alkaline water alter our blood at all?  Mateo Johnson was certified by the Molecular Hydrogen Institute and founded the company Axiom H2, selling high quality hydrogen generating machines and also tablets that you don't have to dissolve in water. He explains what hydrogen is, his thoughts on browns gas, the difference between infusing hydrogen into water and the tablet products, the dirty secret about alkaline water ionizers, how long hydrogen lasts in a bottle, hydrogen for dentistry, how to use hydrogen gas for eye and ear health, the benefits of inhaling hydrogen gas, his thoughts on ozone and CO2 therapy, and why it isn't effective to sip on hydrogen water all day long.  Order Mateo's products: https://www.axiomh2.com Use the discount code BLACKBURN to save 10% My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Order Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by George Henner: https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com  

Demystifying Molecular Hydrogen Therapy with Mateo Johnson

Have you ever heard of Mr Eats It All that consumed shopping carts, TV sets, razor blades, a coffin, and a 200 foot chain? Did Saint Francis communicate telepathically with animals? Who was the Mighty Atom and how did he survive a gunshot point black to the middle of his forehead? How did a man inflate and deflate himself on stage changing his body weight by 20 pounds several times in one night?  What are humans capable of physically, mentally, and psychically? Atom Bergstrom joins us  to talk about all of the seemingly impossible feats that people have achieved and make us question what we think we know.

Pushing the Limits of Human Potential with Atom Bergstrom

There is a lot of confusion in the natural heatlh world when it comes to oral health care. Should we brush our teeth? Are plastic bristles the devil? Is flossing necessary? Do waterpik devices replace flossing? Do we even need to go to the dentist if we're on top of our oral game? Dr Leedia Riman is an integrative dentist that joins us to discuss all of this and more. She talks about how she discovered Weston Price and the power of nutrition for gum and teeth health. We talk about vitamin D supplementation, whats really happening when a cavity forms, the effects of smoking and acidic beverages on our teeth, her thoughts on xylitol, nitric oxide, mouth breathing, humidifiers in the bedroom, whether regular dental checkups are necessary, the reasons why you might experience pain when you go in for cleanings, why she loves ozone, fluoride versus hydroxyapatite, electric toothbrushes, tips for receeding gums, her thoughts on root canals and a ton more!

Theraphi combines several electrotherapy modalities into one, using a 500,000 volt Tesla coil, a proprietary blend of noble gases in handmade plasma tubes, and an amplifier that modulates the cold plasma field. To put it simply... it is a human charging station. Paul Harris, the inventor of the Theraphi, joins us to talk about the history of electromagnetic devices, the history of plasma energy, how our body can benefit from plasma, time reversal waves, and why he believes the Theraphi is an electro adaptogen. In the second half he also talks about regenerative agriculture, how he's going medicinal mushrooms, electroculture, and magnetoculture.  Order a Theraphi: www.theraphiusa.com My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by George Henner: https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com
