Have you ever heard of Mr Eats It All that consumed shopping carts, TV sets, razor blades, a coffin, and a 200 foot chain? Did Saint Francis communicate telepathically with animals? Who was the Mighty Atom and how did he survive a gunshot point black to the middle of his forehead? How did a man inflate and deflate himself on stage changing his body weight by 20 pounds several times in one night? What are humans capable of physically, mentally, and psychically? Atom Bergstrom joins us to talk about all of the seemingly impossible feats that people have achieved and make us question what we think we know.

Austin Sneller began his journey with water by opening up coffee machines and seeing all of the nasty gunk that built up over time. He has been studying the water filtration industry for a decade and brings his expertise to Mitolife with the co-creation of the 7 Stage Water Solution, setting a new standard for quality and effectiveness. In this show we talk about what reverse osmosis means, cheaper water filters (Costco), the cost of water filters in general, what makes the Mitolife water filter so different from all the rest, and compare the Mitolife filter to popular brands such as Ophora, AquaTru and Kangen. I ask Austin listener questions including: Does he like the EWG tap water database? How important is filtering your shower water? What's the best home filtration unit? What water does he drink at an airport? Thoughts on hydrogen water? and more...

In this episode Dr Stephanie Seneff PhD explains how autism, Parkinson's, ADHD, brain fog, anxiety, depression, and hormone disruption are related to the pesticide glyphosate. She talks about the mechanisms of how it affects bacteria and disrupts our ecosystem. I ask her if donating blood lowers glyphosate, potential supplements that can help remove it, and her thoughts on alcohol, cannabis and tobacco as they relate to glyphosate. She talks about why she loves sulfur rich foods, why she isn't a fan of Ozempic and statin drugs, how manganese gets targeted by glyphosate, her thoughts on gluten intolerance, and more.

There is always a new diet circulating and they always get a lot of engagement. What makes the sugar diet unique is that it challenges the mainstream idea that sugar consumption causes weight gain. What the mainstream doesn't tell you is that fatty acids and glucose compete for absorption, so consuming lower fats while consuming a lot of carbohydrates with adequate protein will actually increase the metabolic rate and turn you into a "fat burner" like the keto people talk about. Gwenyth Burmingham joins us to talk about how she is using this as a short-term tool to support her weight loss goals. She talks about the importance of collagen and gelatin, why she thinks high protein consumption is overhyped, what she consumes everyday on the sugar diet, why she believes everyone has some estrogen dominance, why she likes topical progesterone, and more.

In the past few weeks there has been another round of a "bug" going around here in Idaho. I started to feel symptoms but hit it hard and knocked out whatever I caught within one day. In this short episode I give a crash course on what I believe to be the most important supplements to take when you feel like you are dealing with a viral infection. I prioritize vitamin, mineral, and enzyme supplements before going to herbs, methylene blue, or antiparasitics. Vitamins and minerals are foundational and deficiencies are common. During an acute or long-term infection your burn rate of nutrients will be a lot higher so you must supplement accordingly. I talk about the importance of taking copper if you're taking zinc, the exact biochemical mechanisms how ascorbic acid works to balance the system, the lipid peroxidation and viral connection, why vitamin E is an underrated supplement, why superoxide dismutase (SOD) is so important to support during long covid, how lithium has been a known anti viral since 1980, and why melatonin should be a crucial part of your antiviral medicine cabinet.

You have heard of Lyme disease but have you heard of Alpha Gal Syndrome? It is another condition caused by a tick bite but the symptoms are arguably much worse - becoming allergic to red meat! Affecting over 450,000 Americans, not being able to eat red meat can cause a cascade of downstream effects due to nutrient deficiency. In this episode ANP Dette Avalon, author of The Ultimate Guide to Alpha Gal Syndrome, explains what it is and the devastation it causes. While there is no one magic bullet for it that we know of yet, Dr Stephanie Seneff PhD joins us to make the link between Alpha Gal and glyphosate toxicity. We talk about mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and its connection to alpha gal and glyphosate, the importance of a healthy microbiome, the impact of "cross reactive proteins", the benefits of sauerkraut, the mitochondria and deuterium link, the importance of vitamin D and cholesterol, and other solutions that they've found.

Are you overwhelmed with all of the different views about nutrition on the internet? Are you scared of consuming sugar because of all of the propaganda? Are you short on cash and can't spend money on lots of functional medicine tests? If you answered yes to any of those then this is a great episode for you. Jayton Miller shares the basics of how to create a healthy metabolism and how to assess the state of your metabolism using your body temperature and pulse readings. We talk about the importance of vitamin A and why its not a toxin, he shares why we should lower our polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake, why eating throughout the day is important, how to stop waking up in the middle of the night, the dangers of excessive estrogen, and much more.

I created the CLF Protocol in 2019 based on nearly a decade of research about human health. Since then I have been refining it as I learn new information. The first letter stands for "calcification" and is the focus of this short lecture in a series that I will record breaking down every aspect of my protocol in detail. In this episode I define normal and abnormal calcification, which vitamins and minerals affect it, the various hormones involved in calcium regulation, why calcium in the diet from dairy is so important, the nuanced relationship with vitamin D, describe different disease states that are a result of calcification, the major roles of magnesium and vitamin K2 (especially MK-7 form), and I answer a few questions including: Why does calcificaiton occur in response to tissue injury? Does fluoride toothpaste calcify our pineal gland? Enjoy this deep dive into all things calcification and how to prevent and reverse it.

With how unnaturally fast paced life is, social media notifications, neverending emails, letters in the mail to respond to, staying aware of all of the various toxins we're exposed to, dodging grifters online that just want to take your money and sell you their program, it is very easy to be chronically stressed. Practices such as turning off your notifications, putting your phone in airplane mode when you are walking in the forest, keeping do not disturb on all the time, carving time out of your day to not stare at screens, are some common strategies to reduce stress. In this episode Dr Scott Sherr returns to the show to talk about: why its not just about healing your trauma, the mitochondrial harm that occurs with chronic stress, the role of GABA, how methylene blue supplementation can help, his thoughts on alcohol and cannabis, carbon dioxide therapy, and more.

For several years I was focusing heavily on the relationship between copper and iron while neglecting and even demonizing zinc. Given that our body stores a much higher concentration of zinc than copper, that was not a wise approach. Over the years I have learned that even in the case of a copper deficiency, one should still supplement zinc in addition to copper, and the clinical research clearly proves this. It is very easy to get caught in the anti-supplement fear campaigns that big influencers spread and I have since repented for my sins in this regard. In this episode I share my experience taking high dose zinc for the past few years and the copper deficiency symptoms I have noticed recently, specifically in relationship to ultraviolet light exposure from sunlight. On day one of supplementing copper again I noticed an increased resilience to sun exposure and less of a burning sensation being outside in the mid-day summer sun. I break down the science of different types of melanin, the exact biochemical processses involved in copper supporting melanin production, what melanin does after it absorbs UV light, what other nutrients we should be supplementing to protect ourselves from sunburn and skin photoaging, the complexity of the zinc/copper ratio and where I stand with it, how you can diagnose yourself for deficiencies using symptoms instead of blood tests, and more.

I see a lot of health educators throw their weight around saying that they have more then a few decades of experience working one on one with clients, and then selling you the idea that acting based on your symptoms is just mimicking the allopathic pharma way of thinking. But what if we acknowledged our symptoms and used them as guiding lights instead of lab tests? Or you could do both. Natasha Snoeijer focuses on thyroid, hormone and metabolic optimization. She joins me to bring that "what about both?" energy to the health discussion. What if high dose supplementation can create long term healing? One vitamin did that for her. She shares her thoughts on the sugar diet, how to use your bowel movements to assess your health status, how to supplement thyroid properly, why she isn't a fan of hair tissue mineral analysis tests and what she likes instead, why candida cleanses don't work, and lots more.

In this solo show I break down what Alzheimer's disease is, why so many studies show that tobacco smokers have higher risk for Alzheimer's, how the vitamin K shot given to infants differs from vitamin K supplements, and the specific and multiple mechanisms of how vitamin K2 works to prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease. I talk about the relationship between cadmium, lead, and Alzheimer's disease. I spend quite a bit of time talking about the difference between nicotine supplements and smoking tobacco, and why smoking may not be as bad as everyone says if other things are done to mitigate the harmful products of combustion. I name a unique terpene found in high amounts in tobacco that acts as a precursor to Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin K2 and it also has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-tumor and antimicrobial properties.

Recently there has been a plethora of articles painting the popular supplement methylene blue in a bad light. Some of the claims include: its synthetic so that makes it unsafe, it will stain your brain permanently blue, it will cause excessive serotonin in the brain, and that it could decrease mitochondrial function in people with healthy mitochondria, or that it can inhibit nitric oxide. Dr Scott Sherr, COO of Troscriptions, returns to the show to debunk these arguments using sound science and reason. I have been ingesting methylene blue for five years now with some breaks and I have experienced zero negative side effects, both short or long term. Fear and sensationalism gets engagement and it also provides an opportunity to deepen the conversation with more context which Scott does in this episode.

A cancer diagnosis is a scary thing. It often comes out of nowhere and happens with people that are either living a healthier lifestyle or are close to others that do. Obviously the natural health community is missing pieces of the puzzle. This episode is an addendum to one I recorded four years ago about cancer solutions. I have changed my mind on a lot but also realized that I never explicitly defined what cancer is or where it’s located in the previous show. I define what cancer is, exactly which part of the cell its found in, why we need healthy mitochondria, the interplay between ATP and the structured water in our cells, what supports the formation of structured water in our body, what blocks the formation of structured water, the power of carbon dioxide against tumors, and other solutions that I’ve found over the past 15 years.

Why is fruit safe or immune to NPK fertilizer and veggies aren't? that was implied a couple times. Learned so much from this episode - to think I almost skipped this one. Glad I didn't!
