In todays episode I speak with Dr.Tommy Wood, an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington. We focus in one one of the research papers he co-authored entitled "Reframing Nutritional Microbiota Studies To Reflect an Inherent Metabolic Flexibility of the Human Gut: a Narrative Review Focusing on High-Fat Diets". We discuss:
- The limitations in animal research when it comes to researching how nutrition influences the microbiome, especially when exploring how a high fat diet may influence the microbiome.
- The limitations in the human studies we currently have (spoiler alert - their short duration).
I find this conversation very reassuring that we perhaps do not have to worry as much as may be led to believe and that a local in-season diet may well be best for us, and the planet.

Alex speaks with Garyth Moxey from Inner Reals Center, based in Vancouver B.C. They discuss:
- Garyth's upbringing in south-west England close to the Stonehenge Free Festival.
- What Ibogaine is.
- How it is used traditionally and as a form of treatment.
- Ibogaine as a successful treatment for addiction.
- 5-MEO DMT
Garyth Moxey is a Canadian born entheogen provider and harm reduction activist based in Vancouver B.C. He is a Synthesis Institute trained psychedelic therapist. His journey with psychedelics started in the early 80’s in the U.K. with Stonehenge Free Festival and the traveler community. After years spent traveling and living in South East Asia he found himself struggling with alcohol and a poly-drug addiction. Many failed rehab attempts and traditional recovery methods later, he took LSD therapeutically in Marin County in 2000 and ended his relationship with alcohol. After a brief opioid relapse in 2011 he took Iboga which made an incredible difference and set him on the path to his life’s work. He co-formed Liberty Root after the Vancouver Ibogaine conference in 2012 and then went on to form Inner Realms Center in 2016.
As of Jan 2022, Garyth has facilitated 375 Ibogaine treatments. He has also completed psychedelic psychotherapy fundamentals at the Orenda Institute, Cortez Island B.C. in the fall of 2016 and as of April 2022, completed a Psychedelic Therapist certificate program from Synthesis Institute. Garyth was also part of the award winning independent documentary, Dosed made to raise awareness about the healing powers of psychedelic medicine, and now Dosed II. He is also a medical cannabis activist and custom produces high-grade cannabis oil for clients dealing with a wide range of medical conditions. He now works tirelessly with his partner Blair and a variety of therapists to bring about positive lasting change in the people who have chosen to be his clientele.

I speak with IFMCP Pete Williams about oral health, and the oral microbiome, and the role it plays in systemic health. Research is clearly showing us that our oral health influences brain health, contributes to autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and impacts our gut health, potentially contributing to conditions such as SIBO. Pete has recently launched DNA Smile: https://www.dnalife.healthcare/dna-sm...
Evidence shows that certain gene variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. DNA Smile analyses 22 'SNPs' in 16 genes involved in 5 key biological processes associated with oral health outcomes. These variants have been linked to an altered immune and inflammatory response to pathogenic bacteria in the mouth, leading to increased risk for periodontitis. Insight into these areas assists with the targeted management of oral health and decreasing the risk for related chronic disease.
In this episode I speak with Keith Littlewood about thyroid health.
We discuss: ways to evaluate thyroid function, the role food and certain nutrients play in supporting, or disrupting, thyroid function, the role environmental toxins play in thyroid health, the relationship between the thyroid and gut health including digestive enzyme production, and the importance of a holistic, systems biology approach

I speak with Lara Adler, aka the environment toxins nerd, on the role these toxins play in disease. Lara educates us on what they are, where they can be found, how we can easily reduce our exposure to them, and how we can support the detoxification of them. This is a super important, but also practical conversation, where you'll be left feeling empowered, knowing what you can do within this area of your health.
