ReversABLE

Josh sits down with Steven, founder of Masa Chips, to explore how products like cottonseed oil, Crisco, and modern vegetable oils entered the food supply, and why many processed foods bear little resemblance to the foods humans historically consumed. Together they examine how industrial agriculture, food processing, pesticides, and modern manufacturing practices may influence gut health, inflammation, and overall wellness from a root-cause perspective.

Steven also shares his personal journey through chronic digestive issues, immune challenges, and pancreatitis as a child—an experience that ultimately led him to study nutrition and build a company focused on producing snacks using traditional preparation methods rather than modern shortcuts.

The discussion explores topics including organic farming, regenerative agriculture, sourdough fermentation, nixtamalization, gluten, GMOs, glyphosate, beef tallow, ancestral diets, and why food quality often depends more on processing methods than individual ingredients alone. Rather than simply debating whether grains are "good" or "bad," the conversation focuses on how traditional cultures prepared foods to improve digestibility and nutrient availability.

• History And Origins Of Seed Oils
• Traditional Food Preparation (Nixtamalization & Sourdough)
• Modern Food Processing & Industrial Agriculture
• Organic Farming, Pesticides & GMOs
• Ancient Vs. Modern Diets

In this thought-provoking episode of ReversABLE, Josh Dech sits down with Dr. John Demartini to explore the connection between personal values, chronic stress, nervous system regulation, and long-term health. Drawing from more than five decades of teaching and research, Dr. Demartini explains why many people remain exhausted, overwhelmed, and chronically inflamed despite doing "all the right things" for their health.

The discussion explores his framework of the seven areas of life mastery, why living according to your highest values can dramatically change your physiology, and how prioritization may influence everything from energy levels to emotional resilience. The conversation also dives into neuroscience, the role of the prefrontal cortex, decision-making, delegation, and why constantly operating from obligation rather than inspiration may contribute to ongoing stress.

Josh brings the discussion back to the world of functional medicine and root-cause healing, connecting these concepts to the everyday struggles faced by people dealing with digestive disorders, autoimmune disease, fatigue, and persistent inflammation. Together they challenge conventional thinking around productivity, burnout, and success while offering practical strategies for building a life that supports both physical and emotional well-being.

Whether you're searching for answers to chronic gut issues, trying to reduce inflammation naturally, or simply looking for a more sustainable approach to health and performance, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how mindset, purpose, and daily priorities may influence the body's ability to heal.

• Living According to Your Highest Values & Priorities
• Delegation, Time Leverage & Productivity
• The Seven Areas of Life Mastery
• Authenticity vs. Living by Other People's Expectations
• Stress, Brain Function & Health (Mind-Body Connection)
• Financial Independence & Wealth Building
• Purpose, Motivation & Human Potential

There's a 200+ year old pattern that doctors have been stuck in and that same pattern is what keeps you stuck on medication. If you can break this pattern, you'll be able to find the root cause of your gut issues, reverse it and may even come off medication.

Without it, you'll be stuck in the cycle forever. One of my favourite things to do is use history to teach about your health. And in this episode, you're going to learn about the discovery of handwashing and germs, and how this story explains why you're still stuck on medication today.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• The 200+ year old pattern doctors still follow
• Why you're still stuck on medication
• How to get unstuck from the meds
• How to best find your root cause
• Unlocking the secrets to reversing your bowel disease

Josh and Dr. Jason Shumard unpack why many people continue to develop complications despite improving their diet, exercising regularly, and taking medications exactly as prescribed.

The conversation dives deep into the biology of insulin resistance, cellular dysfunction, chronic inflammation, toxic burden, and how environmental exposures such as mold, heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and processed foods may interfere with the body's natural ability to regulate blood sugar. Dr. Schumard explains why functional testing—including comprehensive blood analysis and toxin screening—can uncover hidden root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks.

Josh and Dr. Schumard also discuss the powerful connection between gut health, the microbiome, immune function, detoxification pathways, and chronic disease. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, they explain how supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms may help restore metabolic function and improve long-term health.

Throughout the episode, they challenge common assumptions about genetics, medications, and the standard approach to Type 2 diabetes while emphasizing that lifestyle remains essential—but often isn't the entire answer.

Whether you're living with diabetes, struggling with chronic inflammation, experiencing unexplained fatigue, or simply looking to better understand the root cause approach to healing, this conversation offers an insightful look at how functional medicine views the body's remarkable ability to repair itself when underlying obstacles are identified and addressed.

• Root Causes Of Type 2 Diabetes
• Insulin Resistance And Cellular Dysfunction
• Environmental Toxins, Heavy Metals & Mold
• Conventional Medicine vs Functional Medicine
• Detoxification Pathways And Cellular Healing
• Nutrition, Lifestyle & Blood Sugar Regulation
• Genetics vs Epigenetics In Chronic Disease

After her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Martha left her career in accounting and began investigating the root causes behind chronic illness. Her research eventually led her to the White House Microbiome Initiative, collaborations with leading microbiome scientists, and years of studying how modern environmental exposures may influence human health.

Together, Josh and Martha discuss how toxic burden develops over decades through food, water, household chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, and other environmental factors. They explore the growing evidence connecting glyphosate, paraquat, EMFs, and other modern exposures to disruptions in the gut microbiome, chronic inflammation, and immune system signaling.

Rather than focusing on symptom management, this episode emphasizes a root cause approach to healing—helping listeners understand how the microbiome, immune system, and environmental health interact to influence everything from digestive disorders to neurological disease.

If you're interested in gut health, microbiome science, inflammation, environmental medicine, and reversing chronic illness naturally, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

For decades, people diagnosed with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have been told the same three things: the disease is genetic, autoimmune, and ultimately idiopathic—meaning nobody truly knows what causes it. But does today's scientific literature actually support those conclusions?

Josh explains how the very terminology of those 3 words "genetic", "autoimmune", "random" is actually based on misinterpreted or ignored science, and that the narrative of it being impossible to fix, stops people from bothering to look. In this episode, he breaks down the history, the studies and the science to prove that bowel disease is not what they say it is.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• Challenging the genetic theory of IBD
• Questioning the autoimmune classification
• Environmental and lifestyle risk factors
• Historical evolution of IBD research
• Genetics vs. gene expression (environmental influence)
• Remission versus cure debate
