What is homeopathy and where did it start? What is "like cures like", minimum dose and the laws of cure? How do you choose the right potency of a homeopathic remedy? Where should someone begin when working with the twelve tissue salts? Which homeopathic remedies should someone keep in their first aid kit? What is the astrology and homeopathy connection and how do you find which tissue salt is associated with your sun sign?
Dr Robert Selig runs a natural health practice out of Chicago and returns to the show to explain the synergy between hair tissue mineral analysis testing, mineral balancing, and using homeopathy which is energy medicine.

In this episode I explain not only why I'm moving again but why I've been moving frequently for the past few years. I talk about the 100 acres that I'm moving to soon and what I'm doing to restore an abandoned large underground bunker with a built-in pyramid. I break down my plans for how the tall capstone will be built, talk about pyramid energy and my experience with it, how I'm going to manage the lighting situation, my thoughts on sleeping underground, and the advantage of having geothermal cooling in the summer.
I've watched a lot of YouTube videos over the years of people building various sizes of bunkers underground, from large cylinders with flooring installed to multi-million dollar luxury ones. I talk about why I think those are overkill and what threats you're reastically mitigating by having a bunker. The TLDR is that I'm seeking a healthy blend between aesthetics, functionality and safety. If I decide to host health retreats again this will be the most interesting venue in the world.

I often see health educators talk down on the need for supplements, going as far as to say they are a waste of money or toxic. While these can be true for lower quality brands that put profit above quality, it is not always true. Nutritional supplements save lives and they're necessary in today's world.
In this solo show I break down exactly why supplements are required. People will often defend supplements by only going as far as saying the soils are depleted, but will not go into details, especially about salt based NPK fertilizer and the catastrophic effects of acid rain on the soil. Iyr produce is not what it used to be, even if its certified organic or purchased from your local farmers market.
Enjoy this deep dive where I talk about biosolids and how "forever chemicals" have gotten into our produce and meat, the devastating effects of acid rain on fungal mycorrhizae in soil, how metals compete for beneficial minerals, and the supplements that I recommend to stay in balance.Geoff Lawton on salt based NPK fertilizer:

It seems that every month on social media there is a new boogeyman in the health world, whether its a vitamin, mineral, or a safe substance like zeolite. The caveat to it being safe is found in this podcast with Jeff Hoyt, owner of Zeolite Labs.
This is a "Best Of" show repost from earlier this year because I think its really important that this information gets out. I've never heard anyone else explain zeolite like he does, and go beyond theories with actual concrete proof of people detoxifying lead, mercury, and even aluminum, even though zeolite itself is made of aluminum.
He breaks down what makes powdered zeolite different from liquid and nano products, why clean zeolite powder is not a stressful detox for the body, how it swaps beneficial minerals inside of its cage for metals, why more is better, why he prefers "catch and release" to "push and catch" protocols, the other toxins that zeolite binds to besides heavy metals, how zeolite can help your allergies, how the original use case for zeolite was for hangovers, and more.

Rick Malter is a PhD and a veteran in the space of hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) testing. He was around when it was just getting started and in the early 2000s he decided to retire from his psychology practice and devote all of his time to refining the art and science of HTMA to improve human health.
In this episode he talks about Dr Paul Eck and Dr David Watts and their knowledge of Hans Selye's work on stress. He expands on how widespread magnesium deficiency is and how excess copper wreaks havoc on the mineral system. I ask him his thoughts on ascorbic acid and ceruloplasmin, where the excess copper is coming from, his thoughts on vitamin A "toxicity", vitamin D testing, zinc and copper ratio, coffee enemas, saunas, binders, Abram Hoffer and niacin, homeopathy, and more.
I have interviewed several HTMA practitioners at this point and I continued to be fascinated with how they each approach it in a slightly different way. Rick does not think that coffee enemas are necessary to detoxify metals and he really focuses in on magnesium deficiency but also one's ability to retain it in the cell which requires vitamin A and potassium.

When you get deep enough into the natural health world, you learn about heavy hydrogen or deuterium. It is a natural contaminant that builds up in our body over time and stalls the nano motor in our mitochondria called the ATPase.
Victor Sagalovsky of Litewater joins us once again to talk about the health benefits of depleting deuterium in the body, not only for disease prevention but also to radically extend human lifespan. He talks about the cancer connection with deuterium, how the Russians discovered it, how your body will intelligently shuttle deuterium to less important tissues, on average how many molecules of HDO are in a glass of water, and how deuterium affects our reflex time.
He also talks about human photosynthesis and why he loves melanin, we get into a friendly debate about whole food vs isolated supplements, he shares his theory on what the Ark of the Convenant was, and I ask listener questions including his thoughts on hydrogen infused water, sunlight to deplete deuterium, and the ideal PPM of deuterium in our drinking water.

The environment that we live in has a huge impact on our health, both from a materials standpoint of what the home is made out of and even the shape of the structure itself. When I began studying nutrition over a decade ago I meditated quite a bit on the thought that we are always inside of boxes and maybe thats what keeps our ability to think critically constrained inside a metaphorical box.
I slept and meditated underneath pyramids for several years and more recently began growing plants and spending time inside a geodesic growing dome. I've noticed that plants grow effortlessly in there, abundant and massive, and my mind always feels more still when I'm gardening inside it.
A few years ago I came across Geoship, a startup company that uses a material that took 12 years to develop, a ceramic composite. There is no metal to corrode and no wood to rot or get eaten by bugs, so it is a structure that will last for hundreds of years. Having lived in cabins for the past 5 years, I can say that those structures are inferior and will eventually become obsolete.
Geoship domes are mold resistant, energy efficient (70% reduction in heating and cooling costs), have grounded floors, the walls release far infrared light, they can be built in a few weeks interior included, and best of all, they are affordable. Earlier this year I invested in this company to secure the first Geoship in Idaho that will go on top of my subterranean bunker. I am confident that this company will explode in popularity over the next few years.

Cordycepin is the main compound in the parasitic fungus cordyceps that exerts numerous effects on immune health, respiratory health, energy, stamina, libido, and more. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and recently we've discovered the exact mechanisms of how it exerts its beneficial effects.
Dr Scott Sherr, COO of Troscriptions, returns to the show to talk about the various applications of supplementing cordycepin. He talks about how its an adenosine analog, high dosing it, its effects on improving sleep, its effect on decreasing inflammation, how it could help with infection, its effect on mTOR, how it can help counter negative effects from caffeine, and at the end I ask him some questions about methylene blue.

Carbon dioxide, CO2, is often referred to as a waste product of cellular metabolism, as well as an environmental problem as it relates to shifting the temperature of the earth with a greenhouse effect.
Oxygen therapy is, by far, the most promoted health therapy out there that utilizes gasses. Second place would go to ozone gas, and third would go to energized noble gasses like in the Paul Harris TheraPhi device.
CO2 therapy for human health is way down the list and you would be hard pressed to find it at any health spa. This is very unfortunate because in my eyes it is near the very top of health therapies, largely for its affordability, to create the biggest shift. This is largely because of carbon dioxide's organizing effect on the water and proteins inside our cells.
In this episode Steve Scott, founder of Carbogenetics, talks about the many health benefits of this gas including its effects on exercise performance, wound healing, cancer prevention, energy production, protection from lipid peroxidation, bone health, the longevity connection, nutritional synergists, mood improvement, and more. He talks about his breathing apparatus and the body suit which is essentially a CO2 air bath.

Glutathione is one of the major endogenous antioxidants that is made in nearly every cell in our body. Oxidative stress occurs when the body is exposed to toxins whether its air pollution from cars, excessive heavy metals, mold, or disruptive types of EMF.
Dr Nayan Patel, inventor of a transdermal glutathione called Glutaryl, explains how it quenches free radicals and how people have used it to recover faster from injury, strength training, and infections. Most glutathione products are either encapsulated, liposomal, suppository or intravenous forms. I was really impressed with how much I felt the beneficial effects of Glutaryl when I applied it twice a day for a few months so I was inspired to have the founder on the show.

We often hear about detoxifying our body and if we do hear about detoxifying our home it is only laser focused on mold or electromagnetic fields. We need hyper specialization to get to the root of problems but we also need big picture perspectives. In this episode Josh Kaye, author of "Toxic: A Comprehensive Guide to a Healthier Home", joins us to provide that zoomed-out view of all of the pitfalls in modern living and choices we can make to upgrade different areas.
We talk about water filtration for drinking and bathing, mold prevention, his favorite laundry detergent, polyester clothing and alternatives, why he like stainless steel cookware, how to test the health of your light bulbs using your iPhone, EMFs, electric cars, bedding, and more.

Israel "Raven" Ruiz was introduced to the ancient art of alchemy in Taos, New Mexico. In this episode he shares stories of animals showing up in front of him dying as if they were asking to be transmuted into spagyrics. He talks about how we can learn powerful life lessons from taking them in, how this differs from homeopathy, the difference between plant, mineral, and animal spagyrics, the lessons that we can learn from the red fox, the cicada, and the tarantula. This is a very esoteric show so if you enjoy that sort of thing you will love this conversation!

In 2019 I designed a health protocol that was based on my previous 10 years of research and experience with nutrition, supplements and health technology. I recorded one show summarizing my CLF Protocol several years ago but I figured it is time to do a deep dive into each of its three parts, starting with lipofuscin.
In this solo show I share information that i've never talked about nor seen anyone else talk about regarding lipofuscin and specifically its relationship to polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake and vitamin E. I talk about what lipofuscin is, who I learned about it from, what light it emits when it gets hit with ultraviolet light, why its harmful to our health, and the solutions i've found to slow its accumulation and even stimulate its removal.

John the Savage returns to the show for a coffee chat. We cover a range of topics including how homesteading has been romantasized on social media, why I don't think being completely off the grid is ideal, our trials and tribulations with gardening, John's current favorite supplements, what two things helped him get out of a funk, why he adds gelatin to his apple juice, why liposomal and rectal delivery supplements are overkill, why we both love to supplement antioxidants, and John's favorite underground Russian nootropics.

What role does genetics and the health of the parents play in a child's risk of developing a skin condition like eczema? Why is it a myth that only the mother's health matters and not the fathers in healthy child development? What causes "leaky skin"? Which foods should be limited initially when healing from eczema? Why can sunlight exposure exacerbate eczema?
Abbie Bradford answers all of these questions and much more in this chat all about the skin condition called eczema specifically as it relates to children. I grew up with itching the inside of my arms until they bled and when my eczema went away acne cropped up... so I am passionate about this topic and providing resources for parents to avoid a childhood of tarnished self esteem which really affects relationship and career development. Eczema and skin conditions in general are a big deal that can really impair one's ability to live a full life.

Jon Gamble has been studying the root cause of chronic disease for over 30 years. In this interview I cover three major areas with him: Toxicity, deficiency and infection which is the subtitle of his book Mastering Chronic Disease. He uses the oligoscan along with the GI stool map and other tests to help guide people back to vibrant health.
He talks about why he doesn't ever recommend copper supplementation, why zinc deficiency is such a big deal, the difference between oligoscan and other tests, what the zinc blockade entails, why magnesium is more important to supplement than calcium, which nutrient type O blood types tend to be deficient in, which mineral alcoholics are usually low in, the negative health effects of too much copper in males and females, his thoughts on mercury detox, how he uses homeopathy, and more.

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.

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.
