There aren't many people in the health community that can make me laugh as hard as Leo Wik. He makes light of the biohacking, ketogenic, zero carb and fasting lifestyles that are prevalent in the natural health world. This is a coffee shop style chat where we free flow with the conversion. We talk about sauna therapy, the traditional way to do cold thermogenesis, Wim Hof, being a "fat burner", chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, and he shares some practical tips about how to release tension in your body.

Saunas, Overdoing Cold Therapy and Gluconeogenesis with Leo Wik

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.

Why is a woman's cycle important? Integrative Nutrition Coach and HTMA practitioner Barbara Madimenos was faced with that question when she was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 25. She talks about how she healed herself, how she hasn't met one woman that hasn't had an irregular cycle, and the importance of balancing your minerals to regulate your hormones. We talk about zinc and copper balance, estrogen excess and low progesterone, endometriosis, the power of coffee enemas, why she likes astrology, the best way to heal after taking birth control, coffee consumption tips, hair shedding mitigation, high prolactin solutions, how to recover from IUD use and more.  Barbara's website: https://barbaramadimenos.ca My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by George Henner: https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com  

Regulating Women’s Hormones Using Mineral Balancing with Barbara Madimenos

Enjoy this throwback show from a few years ago with Caitlyn Hartigan, creator of the Iron Protocol. In this jam packed three hour extravaganza she tears apart the argument that everyone has iron dysregulation and that nobody is iron deficient.  She explains how you can be iron deficient without being anemic, why supplementing iron is not only safe but essential for many people, how iron is important for immune function, how your iron recycling system doesn't work if there is no iron to recycle, the different stages of iron deficiency, her thoughts on iron infusions, why serum ferritin is an accurate marker of iron deficiency, why she likes supplementing vitamin D, why iron overload and hemochromatosis are synonymous, and more.

You Don't Need to Be Anemic to Be Iron Deficient with Caitlyn Hartigan

The Oligoscan test uses the science of spectrophotometry to see the absorption and reflection of light from vitamins, minerals and heavy metals stored in the tissue of the palm of your hand. If it sounds too good to be true, you'll be surprised to hear the legitimate science behind it from the son of one of the original global distributors of Oligoscan, Jeff Lioon. He breaks down how the technology works in this show but the majority of it is focused on deciphering the test itself and describing all of the complex interactions between our environmental toxins, diet, lifestyle habits, and how those affect our vitamin and mineral balance.  We talk about the relationship between iodine and fluoride, why kryptopyrroluria is a big deal, how we get copper toxic, the difference between oligoscan and other tests, what low vitamin B9 means, the silica and aluminum connection, what high antimony means, what high gadolinium usually means, where antimony is coming from in our environment, the excretor theory, and trends that hes seen in the over 1500 scans he's done on clients.

Shining Light into the Hand to Assess Vitamin and Mineral Levels with Jeff Lioon

Dr Russel Reiter has been involved in melatonin research since its inception. He has been supplementing it everyday for the past 29 years. In this interview he talks about how he became interested in melatonin, what happens to our melatonin production as we age, why humans not being seasonable breeders matters for fear surrounding hormonal dysregulation and melatonin supplements, the effects of light pollution on our physiology, how to use melatonin for jet lag, how melatonin can support menopause, why someone might feel groggy taking melatonin, how to find your optimal dose of melatonin, and more!  Russel Reiter's book: https://amzn.to/4a9NXHu My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Mitolife Academy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE0z4jSYJCV6XGts7di8Cuw/join Music by George Henner: https://georgehenner.bandcamp.com  

Melatonin the Masterful Molecule for Mitochondria with Dr Russel Reiter

When people in the natural health community hear the term "Transhumanism" there is a knee-jerk emotional reaction, and some of that feeling is justified. Many of the big tech giants that have been censoring alternative perspectives are also heavily involved in the development of artificial intelligence, augmented reality and virtual reality systems. Zoltan Istvan ran for president under the Transhumanist Party and drove the "Immortality Bus" all around the United States with the goal of spreading awareness of the importance of shifting our focus away from fighting wars to using science and technology to prevent and reverse disease and even solve aging. In this episode he talks about: what the transhumanist wager is, his thoughts on ChatGPT, the replacement of jobs and potentially human relationships by humanoid robot artificial intelligence, the dishwashing robot that just came out, dystopian AI movies, solar cars, overpopulation, Neuralink, his recommendations for being healthy, thoughts on alcohol, and more.
