In this episode, I sit down with a man who was instrumental in my own healing journey: the "medical shaman" himself, Dr. Ivan Rusilko. We’re diving deep into the hot topic taking over the US right now—peptides. But we aren't just talking about the surface-level trends; we're breaking down the critical difference between medical-grade and "research" peptides, and why where you source your "key" to cellular health matters more than you think.

I share the vulnerable story of my own nervous system breakdown and why I chose to ignore the recommendation for SSRIs, opting instead for a four-week protocol with Ivan that didn't just bring me back to life—it made me feel better than my original self. We also discuss his incredible work reversing "incurable" conditions, including a 96% drop in cancer markers for a Stage 4 patient and restoring the quality of life for an 85-year-old battling Parkinson’s.

From the neuroplasticity of ketamine and the "miracle grow" properties of Cerebrolysin to the spiritual "Law of Amplification," this episode is an masterclass in living an extravagant, healthy, and high-frequency life.
