      • 125: C60 Purple Power with Ken Swartz

        Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist," joins me today to talk about oxidative stress, mitochondrial efficiency, and Carbon 60, also known as C60.

        Ways in which oxidative stress can damage the body:

        • Rips holes in cell membranes
        • Prevents proteins from folding properly
        • Damages cellular blueprints (DNA and RNA)

        • Ken Swartz Bio:

          Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist,” is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Purple Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available.

          Ken earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University. He spent the early part of his career as a secondary school teacher, and he continues to be passionate about helping and educating people. Ken has run several research science laboratories over the course of his career and discovered C60 while developing the MOXY fusion reactor. 

          During his research, he became aware of the powerful free radical neutralizing properties of C60. He first began using C60 as a radiation protectant while leading a fusion research project. He noticed, after taking C60 for a couple of months, that not only was it protecting him from radiation, but he discovered that his health was also improving. So, he continued taking it. 

          About eight months after Ken started taking C60, he was at a routine visit with his optometrist and discovered that his *dry Macular Degeneration was gone. His doctor was dumbfounded and told him that in all his years, he had never seen such an improvement. 

          Due to this healing experience, Ken decided to dedicate himself to the research, study, and production of C60 Buckminster Fullerenes.

          In 2016, Ken founded C60 Purple Power which offers 99.99% pure sublimated Carbon 60, (never exposed to solvents), delivered in 100% certified organic oils, made in the USA. 

          Ken believes that “your health is your responsibility” and he is on a mission to help people feel empowered to take control of their health.

                          • 120: Longevity Tips for Animals Part II, with Dr. Ruth Roberts

                            Many people are becoming selective about what gets injected into their bodies, but don’t think twice about having their animals vaccinated. Dr. Ruth Roberts joins me again today to talk about which vaccinations and flea, tick, and heartworm medications are necessary and which are not. She also explains how to incorporate mindfulness into our pet’s daily routine.

                            Options for environmental control against ticks and fleas:

                            • Nematodes that eat the eggs and larvae
                            • Borax or diatomaceous earth 
                            • Growth regulators that prevent fleas from forming a protective layer
                            • Capstar tablets
                            • Insect growth regulators to be given orally (Lufenuron) 
                            • Amber collars
                            • 0BugZone electromagnetic collars 

                            • About Dr. Roberts:

                              Dr. Ruth Roberts has supported thousands of dogs and cats to overcome health hurdles like kidney disease, GI Illness, allergies, and cancer. Her natural approach to healing creates a gentle yet effective path for your pet to take on their journey to well-being. 

                              Dr. Ruth created The Original CrockPet Diet, a balanced home-cooked diet for pets, as the foundation of health. Dr. Ruth will help you to develop a health plan for your pet via e-learning, videos on a range of health topics, and One on One coaching.

                                Dr. Ruth Roberts joins me today for the first part of a two-part series on longevity in pets. In this episode, she talks about how our pet’s longevity can increase if we have them spayed or neutered later- or not at all. She also gets into the benefits of feeding pets a whole food diet high in vegetables and fiber and how to make that in a crockpot.

                                A balanced ratio of macronutrients for healthy pets:

                                • 1/3 protein
                                • 1/3 healthy fats
                                • 1/3 carbohydrates (both vegetables and other simple carbohydrates)

                                      • 117: How to Not get Sick!

                                        This episode is devoted to immune health. I have brought Thomas Pennel back again today to talk about immune health and advise us on which supplements to take to boost our immunity or for acute support when we get sick.

                                        Three things that maximize immune function:

                                        • Building a good gut barrier
                                        • Building up metabolic reserves
                                        • Removing things that overstimulate the immune system
                                        • Guest Bio:

                                          Thomas Pennel is an Account Executive who has worked in the supplement and nutrition space for a company called Ortho Molecular Products. After receiving a degree in Integrative Biology from the University of Illinois, a little health scare with his now fiancé gave him his first interaction with functional medicine. 

                                          After seeing first-hand how functional medicine impacted her life, this drove him to seek out professional nutrition companies for the opportunity to work with providers and help shape patient care. 

                                          He has worked with over 1000 clinics across the Midwest which has included a wide array of practitioners, clinics, and pharmacies. 

                                          He has previously worked with practices across Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania and now resides in Iowa where he currently works with over 400 active practices. He uses this experience to help providers consult and bring functional medicine to their patients with a strong focus on improving clinical outcomes. 

                                          In this episode:
