The Quantum Based Podcast - With Dr Sara Pugh podcast

January 27, 2026 #26 Deuterium, Methylation, Glyphosate & Bad Supplements with Dr. Stephanie Seneff

In this conversation, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, senior research scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and I discuss deuterium, methylation pathways, and the widespread impact of glyphosate on human health.

Dr. Seneff describes the disruptive effects of the pesticide glyphosate on hormones like cholesterol sulfate, testosterone, and DHEA, as well as its impact on tryptophan synthesis and mineral levels including zinc and iron. We explore how these disruptions affect energy levels, mental health, and autism. The conversation also covers mitochondrial dysfunction, the role of gut microbes, and the importance of obtaining nutrients like methionine, choline, and melatonin from natural sources rather than supplements or synthetic forms such as B vitamins.
