Vaccines and glyphosate may contribute to our overall toxic load and lead to health problems down the line. This is especially troubling when you consider that children and babies do not have full immune systems working yet when they are given started on the childhood illness schedule.
There are significant problems with the underreporting of adverse events related to vaccines. And the delays in the onset of symptoms are making it difficult to tie the resulting health impacts back to the vaccines. Companies in the US are protected legally from the results.
But researchers are connecting the dots. Dr. Seneff shares her findings, the research, and the disturbing trends in health impacts.
But you can protect yourself and your family. Listen in to hear Dr. Seneff share specific steps you can take today to protect your health.
In this episode, we continue an enlightening conversation with Dr. Stephanie Seneff. She’s the author of Toxic Legacy.

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the popular herbicide Roundup that we use on our lawns and is also used extensively in commercial agriculture.
Here in the United States, Roundup has been marketed and used for several decades.
There has always been a debate on whether glyphosate causes cancer, autism, infertility, and many other major health issues we face.
Matters are not helped by the correlation between increased usage of this herbicide and increased incidences of certain health conditions that some researchers suspect to be caused by glyphosate.
In fact, there have been high-profile cases of people who went to court and convinced the juries that their cancer was caused by exposure to glyphosate.
In this episode, I am pleased to welcome Dr. Stephanie Seneff to discuss the role of glyphosate in our declining health reality.
Glyphosate poses a significant health risk that we all should be aware of. Dr. Seneff takes us through the mechanism through which it impacts our bodies.
We explore some natural ways we can support our bodies and protect ourselves after reducing our exposure to this toxic chemical.
Tune in to this eye-opening conversation to understand more about glyphosate toxicity and what we can do to protect our health.

Your skin is arguably the largest organ in the body and absorbs the things it comes into contact with. This is true for the skin care products we apply to our bodies daily.
Unfortunately, most skin care products on the market are harmful to our skin and overall health. They contain chemicals and heavy metals that enter our bloodstream and lead to a myriad of health problems.
Chronic exposure to these chemicals through regular application of these cosmetic products is causing cancer, chronic skin problems, reproductive issues, gut health problems, etc.
In this episode, I am joined by Alexis McClay, Co-Owner of KOA Life, to discuss the harmful effects of using the wrong skin care products and what we can do instead.
We explore a holistic skincare approach involving a healthy lifestyle, gut health, bio hacks, nutrition, proper rest, and natural skin care products.
One key takeaway from this episode is that If you are going to use a skincare product, make sure you understand the ingredients used. Avoid heavy metals such as mercury and carcinogens such as formaldehyde, common in many cosmetic products on the market.
Tune in to this discussion to learn more about taking good care of your skin and overall health through some practical and simple steps.

Stress is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world.
This is not my opinion but the consensus of a 2015 meta-analysis study published in the Frontiers of Immunology.
It concluded that stress-induced intestinal permeability and the leaking of endotoxins as a result of that, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, was the number one cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide.
Stress is the most toxic thing that happens to our system at the cellular level. It is a big driver of dysfunction by negatively impacting our microbiome, which we noted is closely connected to the immune system.
In addition to stress, overuse of antibiotics and pesticides are some of the other big things that harm our microbiome and, in extension, our immune system, making us vulnerable to chronic illnesses.
But as we always say in this podcast, there is HOPE.
There are some simple steps you can take to improve the diversity of your microbiome to protect yourself.
Kiran Krishnan articulately takes us through this process and advises on some things we can do. Tune in!
Key Takeaways
-
Stress-induced intestinal permeability (01:33)

It might come as a surprise to you to know that you are a walking, talking rainforest.
With the huge number of organisms coexisting in every inch of your body, you are as diverse as a rainforest. In fact, these organisms outnumber human cells.
These organisms together make up the microbiome, which controls so much of our health.
A vast majority of chronic illnesses can be traced back to dysfunction in our microbiome. This is because your microbiome and immune system are closely connected.
For the immune system to respond to a pathogen, it must get the signal from the microbiome. Kiran likens the microbiome to the neighborhood watch.
The epidemic of chronic illnesses and allergies has a likely connection with the deteriorating reality of our microbiome environment.
Tune in to Part 1 of this conversation to connect the dots on the microbiome, innate immunity, and the epidemic of chronic illnesses.

In this episode, I am joined by Michael Kummer, a former professional track athlete turned CrossFitter. Michael is a healthy living enthusiast who helps people improve their health and wellbeing through his widely-read blog and popular YouTube channel.
He shares his 5 core pillars for health which include:
-
Sleep
-
Nutrition
-
Exercise
-
Stress management
-
Limiting Environmental Toxins
These are all important to maintain good health, but one thing you’ll find interesting as he takes us through these pillars is his compelling argument that organ meats are one of the healthiest food sources humans can eat.
Organ meats are excellent sources of essential micronutrients in much greater quantities than any other food.
There is this belief that plants and fruits are healthy, but Michael dismisses that notion. The micronutrients in plants are not readily bioavailable as those in meats.
From an evolutionary perspective, man has evolved to eat plants as a last resort due to this fact. They are an inferior source of nutrients.
We also talk about the proper nutrition for kids and how to get them to eat healthy from a young age.
This is a fascinating conversation that you’ll love. Tune in.

Every week here at Ditch the Quick Fix podcast, we bring you experts who are doing great things to empower people on their health journeys.
Today, we have Tina Anderson, CEO of Just Thrive Probiotics. She has a fascinating story of how she got into the field of natural health. She began her career as a trial lawyer. She then went on to work as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company.
She got frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry and found her life's purpose in empowering people on disease prevention and good health. She discovered the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness.
The world we live in is so offensive to gut bacteria. We are facing assaults on a daily basis.
And since 80% of our immune system is housed in the gut, then it goes without saying that gut health is foundational.
It's where we should all start when it comes to preventing diseases or finding the root cause of the many chronic conditions we face.

Today, many patients are struggling with numerous conditions that the conventional medical establishment doesn’t have answers to. There is not much help coming their way from the conventional doctors who are limited in their options.
Clearly, the pharmaceutical paradigm is failing us big time.
Little wonder that doctors and patients alike are seeking answers in the integrative medicine world.
At the forefront of this revolution is Dr. William Lee Cowden.
He went to the University of Texas Medical School in 1978 and was board-certified as a cardiologist and internist.
Having had a taste of both worlds and seen what works and what doesn’t, he transitioned from allopathic to integrative medicine, where he feels his calling is.
He co-founded the Academy of Comprehensive Integrative Medicine, to teach healthcare practitioners what works in healing the human body.
He has pioneered successful treatments of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and many other illnesses.
Dr. Cowden has a deep understanding of how to approach healthcare from a truly comprehensive perspective, including detoxification, nutritional, emotional, and spiritual tools for healing.
In addition to teaching and mentoring doctors on integrative medicine, he has co-authored six books and contributed to numerous other publications.
Tune in to this episode and be encouraged on the many options we have to treat and prevent illnesses and the spiritual dimension of health.

Osteoporosis and osteopenia are common health problems affecting a considerable part of the population yet the pharmaceutical solutions to this problem are woefully inadequate.
In this episode, I am joined by Kevin Ellis, commonly known as the bone coach. After an osteoporosis diagnosis in his early 30s, he realized the information gaps for people looking for stronger bones. He became a bone health advocate and founded bonecoach.com.
But before we take a dive deep into what contributes to osteoporosis and how to comprehensively address bone loss naturally, let’s first look at some quick facts from the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
- Approximately 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, and another 44 million have low bone density. One in two women and up to one in four men will break a bone in their lifetime due to osteoporosis. For women, the incidence is greater than that of heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer combined.
- Six months after a hip fracture, only 15 percent of patients can walk across a room unaided.
- Every year, of nearly 300,000 hip fracture patients, one-quarter end up in nursing homes, and half never regain previous function.
From these alarming statistics, we can clearly see that osteoporosis and osteopenia are serious public health threats.
Yet many people don’t even know they have osteoporosis until they break a bone. It is often regarded as a silent disease because there are no symptoms.
Luckily, bone loss is manageable. We can build bone strength at any age, only that the older we get, the less efficient the process becomes. But at the bare minimum, we can prevent further loss.
The first step in a comprehensive natural care plan is a DEXA bone density test to determine the extent of bone loss and whether it has progressed to osteoporosis.
But that’s just the start. Listen in as Kevin takes us through everything about bone health. You’ll appreciate his vast knowledge of the subject.

My guest this week is Dr. Hyla Cass. She is a nationally recognized expert and educator in integrative medicine and psychiatry. She is board-certified in psychiatry and neurology (ABPN) as well as in integrative and holistic medicine (ABIHM).
But in this episode, we chat about another area of her expertise, the numerous health benefits of Hemp oil extract/ CBD.
We take a deep dive into how the endocannabinoid system (ECS) works to heal the body and how to stimulate it through the use of cannabinoids such as CBD.
The ECS system maintains homeostasis in your body by assessing all other systems and adjusting function accordingly to allow the body to heal as it was designed to do.
Even though the body can produce its own cannabinoids, we don’t have nearly enough to stimulate healing due to the lifestyle we lead and our deficient nutrition.
In this eye-opening episode, you’ll hear Dr. Cass take us through her approach to holistic healing and how hemp oil extract plays an important role in it.

Last week, Dr. Eric Goodman, creator of Foundation Training, explained how bodyweight exercises and postures a few minutes a day can help us recover from injury and chronic pain.
Today, we continue the conversation on chronic pain management by exploring the use of cannabis as a viable alternative to pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Goodman explains how cannabis stimulates the endogenous cannabinoid system in a healthy and natural way. This has the effect of lowering pain and improving the quality of life, especially for people suffering from chronic conditions such as Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, cancer, etc.
While cannabis use is now being widely legalized and its medicinal properties recognized, the stigma still exists. It's important to note that cannabis is not a cure for anything.
As you'll be hearing in this episode, compared to surgery and pharmaceuticals used for chronic pain management, cannabis is a much better alternative.
Along with sharing his own and his patients' stories of using cannabis to manage chronic pain, Dr. Goodman explains why he strongly advocates for its medical use in a safe way.
But cannabis is not for everyone.
Tune in to learn more about the endocannabinoid system, CBD use, smoking, edibles, and much more.

In Part one of this two-part series, Damon chats with Dr. Eric Goodman on pain management by utilizing Foundation Training Exercises. Foundation Training is a unique but simple approach to exercising and stabilizing the spine.
These exercises are suitable for injury prevention and recovery for elite athletes and ordinary people. It is also used by those seeking to avoid surgery or post-surgery recovery.
Foundation Training utilizes body-weight exercises to change how we move and correct imbalances caused by our modern lifestyle.
As Dr. Eric Goodman explains, Foundation Training activates the entire posterior muscle chain to balance our movement, anchors the hips, and decompresses the spine.
The effect of all this is to get the tension off your joints into your muscles which put you on the path to health.
Ever wondered how to manage pain and prevent injury through simple body exercises? Tune in and learn more from Dr. Eric Goodman.

After losing his mother, sister, and maternal grandmother to colon cancer, Al Sanchez committed his life to finding better options, access to information, and quality of life for those stricken with cancer and other degenerative diseases.
Being an automotive engineer, he had to go back to school to gain a better understanding of the human body.
One thing that became apparent to him was mitochondria's critical role in helping the body heal itself.
Whether cancer, chronic illness, or metabolic diseases, the upstream event that caused it was cellular fatigue. Without optimal energy production by our cells, we become vulnerable to illness.
Once you start repairing cellular metabolism by providing energy to the mitochondria, then the body can heal itself as it was designed to.
Join us in this conversation and learn more about the basic metabolism of the cell and how Poly MVA can help improve cellular energy to heal the body.

There is no doubt that the mouth is an integral part of the body. It then suffices to say that oral health is a big part of our overall health.
It is a known scientific fact that some oral health problems can cause cardiovascular disease and other chronic illnesses. The converse is true; some oral health issues signify that some health imbalances in the body need to be addressed.
This is what integrative biological approaches to oral health are all about. It is the whole health optimization of each patient by offering personalized dental care specific to that individual.
The traditional dentistry approach of treating teeth as separate from the rest of our bodies and our overall healthis woefully inadequate. It has led to worsening outcomes that compromise our health.

Last week, in part 1 of this conversation, we discussed integrative oncology therapies and the commonalities between cancer and chronic illness.
In today’s episode, we chat about some of the holistic therapies for Covid. Just like many other therapies, it’s not a one-size-fits-all; different people experience different outcomes.
Like cancer and chronic illness, Covid pushes weak spots in the body, leading to coinfections that weaken the immune system.
The best strategy we can use to get our health back and that of our patients is by being proactive and working on the eight areas we talked about in last week’s episode.
Tune in to part 2 of this conversation and learn more of the latest research and health strategies on cancer, chronic illness, and Covid.

On today's show, Damon interviews Dr. Paul Anderson on integrative oncology therapies and the commonalities between cancer and chronic illness.
Dr. Anderson is recognized as an educator and clinician and integrative and naturopathic medicine with a focus on complex infectious, chronic and oncological illnesses.
The tools and concepts of holistically healing a human aren't different in chronic and cancer cases. In the naturopathic approach, the goal is to get the body working to its full potential.
The chronically ill person has many of the same needs and focus areas as a cancer patient who maybe is going to recover and needs to get their body back to shape.
Additionally, integrative approaches play a big role in improving the quality of life, particularly for late-stage cancer patients.
Join us for a conversation about chronic illness and cancer and how naturopathic medicine helps in improving the quality of life.

Research has shown that regular cold exposure has numerous metabolic and psychological benefits.
In this episode, Damon interviews Morozko Forge CEO Thomas P Seager, Ph.D., on some of these benefits of cold therapy, and how to get started.
Many of the chronic diseases we are faced with today are caused by insulin resistance. Cold therapy is one of the fastest ways to clear glucose from our bloodstream and increase insulin sensitivity.
Cold therapy has many other metabolic benefits, such as increased testosterone levels in men, accelerated ketogenesis for cancer control, autoimmune regulation, relief from pain and inflammation, and hormonal rebalancing.
But even with all these metabolic benefits, Dr. Seagar reckons that the psychological benefits are just as important. Deliberate cold exposure increases our psychological resilience for stress management by getting us out of our comfort zone.

Dr. Max Gerson was once referred to as the most eminent genius in medical history by none other than the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
The reason for such high praise was because he developed Gerson Therapy, which has such a storied reputation. Gerson was reversing cancer and degenerative disease between 1910 in 1959 when he died.
That's not all; he was the most published doctor until the government and the American Medical Association brutally censored him.
But even though he's been dead for 60 years now, his therapy remains one of the most eminent therapies in reversing cancer and degenerative disease.
Our guest today, Dr. Patrick Vickers, is responsible for carrying on Dr. Gerson's legacy and therapy and even advancing it using newly available scientific literature.
Dr. Vickers was trained by Charlotte Gerson, daughter of Max Gerson, and given access to the original handwritten files to fully understand this therapy. He is the director and founder of the Advanced Gerson Therapy Clinic in Mexico.
Tune in to learn the details of Gerson Therapy and its reputation in reversing degenerative and chronic conditions, including terminal cancer.

Living in the modern world has created many opportunities and made our lives more convenient than in years gone by.
But what price do we pay for this?
Increased exposure to EMF emitted from all the devices we use is becoming a big health challenge.
We are surrounded by devices and radio frequencies everywhere. All our communication devices, work equipment, and even entertainment devices emit radiation that ultimately affects our health.
Granted that we cannot live without technology, we must have full knowledge of the health impact of EMF exposure and learn of ways to mitigate it.
To help us understand the extent and impact of EMF exposure at home, I am joined by Cathy Cooke.
She is an integrative health coach and a board-certified holistic nutritionist. Additionally, she has received training from the International Institute of Building Biology and Ecology, affording her the expertise to evaluate all areas in a person's life that may be contributing to illness.
In this episode, Cathy takes us through:
- The different types of manmade frequency exposures at home

Throughout history, every civilization had some type of heat therapy that involves raising the body’s temperature and passive sweating.
Science and research later shed more light on what our ancestors already knew. Passive sweating in a sauna has numerous health benefits.
From boosting the immune system to anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, detoxification, and skin rejuvenation benefits, heat treatment is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.
In this episode, I have on Brian Richards, founder of Sauna Space, to chat about Near Infrared (NIR) saunas, Red Light Therapy, and the significance of a zero EMF sauna.
Brian was inspired to design and build Near Infrared Saunas from his own medical struggles. He wanted a drug-free way to heal his acne, insomnia, and adrenal fatigue.
He rapidly transformed his health by using heat and light therapy, which led him on his journey to help other people.
The good thing about a sauna is that besides the many health benefits we derive, it is also highly pleasurable and leaves us feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Last week, in part 1 of this series, we looked at the role of spirituality in our overall health.
We established that spiritual health is just as important as physical health if we are to become truly healthy in a holistic way.
Pastor Jake Magee took us through the major areas of life we need to work on to achieve a good balance.

Have you included spiritual health as part of your own health journey?
Whether you are a person of faith or not, this is an important question to ask since being healthy is multifaceted.
In as much as we spend a lot of time on the physical facet of health, the spiritual facet is just as important.
We can even argue that spiritual health is the foundation of physical health.
But we tend to overemphasize the physical and understate the spiritual. Yet, the human soul is the most important component of our being.
This being the case, we have to develop a strategy for achieving optimum health in all major areas of life to create a good balance.
In this episode, I am joined by Pastor Jake Magee. He is the senior pastor at Shelton First Baptist Church in Washington State. Pastor Jake has been blessed with a great mind. He's a complex thinker and a great teacher.
Whether you've included spiritual health as part of your own personal health strategy or not, you'll find today's conversation to be of great value and very informative. Tune in!

Traditional medical approaches, both conventional and alternative, have taken the single-discipline approach to healthcare for a long time.
This approach has some serious flaws in that it doesn't put the patient's best interest at the core.
Dr. Clayton Hansen quickly realized that he couldn't provide the best care to his patients with such a paradigm.
Dr. Hansen's vision for health care includes alternative and integrative options at one location to have the best potential to provide excellent care for his patients.
This includes nutrition, physical therapy, ozone, IV therapy, hormone balancing, genetic testing, regenerative care, functional wellness, and health coaching, as well as chiropractic care.
He joins us today to talk about both the content and system of healthcare that provides people with the best opportunity to achieve good health.
His bottom gear health concept is such a powerful approach that you’ll love to hear him articulate.
But that's not that he does…
He is an ultra-marathon runner and even accompanied Team USA Olympic athletes to the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.
Tune in to hear of his refreshing vision for healthcare and how you can apply the bottom gear approach to your own life.

With all the technology surrounding us and devices in our homes, should we be worried about EMF exposure?
This is the discussion I had with my guest today, Dr. Stephanie McCarter, MD.
Dr. Stephanie McCarter MD is a board-certified internal medicine doctor. She currently practices Environmental Medicine at the Environmental Health Center of Dallas.
She has extensive experience with electromagnetic sensitivity and helps us understand the impact of EMF on our health.
A worrying percentage of the population is ignorant of the risks posed by the radiating devices surrounding us all the time.
We literally have waves of energy in our homes and offices, which ultimately seeps into our bodies.
Research has shown a correlation between an increase in oxidative stress and increased exposure to radio frequencies.
Oxidative stress is one of the biggest causes of the increased chronic and neurodegenerative conditions we are witnessing today. Of particular concern is the impact that EMF has on children born in an increasingly wireless world.
But it's not all doom and gloom….
Join us in Part 1 of this conversation with Dr. McCarter and learn of some practical steps you can take to lower your exposure to these radio frequencies on your wellness journey.

In 1992, the science Magazine named Nitric Oxide (NO) the molecule of the year. In 1998, a Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to three scientists responsible for discovering this molecule.
Nitric Oxide regulates oxygen and nutrients delivery to our cells. It is also a signaling molecule regulating cellular communication. Additionally, it plays a vital role in our immune system.
Loss of Nitric Oxide production in the body is one of the earliest events in the onset and progression of most chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease.
Naturally, our body should produce enough Nitric Oxide. But due to factors such as aging, oxidative stress, high sugar diet, lack of physical exercise, smoking, etc., our ability to produce enough is limited, which leads to chronic illness.
To understand more about this topic, I have the world's leading authority and expert in Nitric Oxide biochemistry, Dr. Nathan Bryan.
Dr. Bryan has made many seminal discoveries in the field of Nitric Oxide, which has resulted in multiple patents. The product technology resulting from his discoveries and inventions has vastly improved patient care worldwide.
Let's dive in and learn why we should be saying yes to N.O. to reach ultimate health!
Key Takeaways
-

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy is a noninvasive way of managing chronic pain arising from musculoskeletal disorders and other inflammatory conditions.
Increasing evidence from scientific studies has shown it to be a safe alternative to conventional invasive treatments for chronic pain.
Besides pain relief, PEMF therapy amplifies our natural energies, which has the effect of helping the body heal itself from numerous conditions, including those of the digestive system and those from aging.
This technology is so important that NASA equips its spacecraft with devices that produce these magnetic fields to maintain the health of its astronauts.
Our guest today has consulted with NASA and also developed tissue engineering technologies for the Department of Defense. In addition, he has used PEMF therapy to recover from a lower back injury he sustained as a volunteer firefighter in 2006.

In the previous episode of this two-part series, we discussed how supporting the immune system holistically can help fight virus-like illnesses and other health conditions.
However, we keep hearing reports of doctors and scientists getting censored when they dare present different options to people to make a choice.
There are no prizes for guessing why this happens…
But we are here to help you reach ultimate health by giving you information that allows you to make a choice on your health strategy.
As Dr. Brownstein recommends, there is space for conventional drug therapies, but always remember they come with a price. Medicines are toxic and even when handled correctly, can still have adverse reactions. They can be a part of the solution but rarely are they the exclusive solution.
