00:00:55.540If we're staring at screens, you could use them.
00:00:57.380they are shielding blue light that affects our vision and blue light is so bad because it's a
00:01:04.600it's basically an oxidant it damages our eyes and so here we are so conscientious about taking
00:01:11.940antioxidants and vitamin c and vitamin e and glutathione and all these other things but
00:01:15.700our eyes are really really susceptible to this type of damage so you know we wear sunglasses
00:01:21.320is outside so why don't we wear blue blockers when we're inside on screens is is blue light
00:01:27.540from screens i'm i told you i'm not very knowledgeable in this area but is it not
00:01:32.160similar somewhat similar to the sunlight you're getting anyway during the day isn't it okay during
00:01:36.820the day that's a good question um i'm not an expert on blue light either um i would say that
00:01:45.360the if there is blue light coming from the sun which there might be um i would say that the
00:01:53.120this light coming off the screen would be highly more concentrated in it so and a funny story about
00:02:00.140these glasses is i was i walked into my son's room in the evening because i put these on in
00:02:04.240the evenings i have redder ones in my bedroom for actually in the bathroom when i get ready for bed
00:02:08.220i put the red ones on because it filters more blue light and if you put them on during the day right
00:02:13.000no, it'll make you too sleepy. So I walk into my son's room in the evening and he's getting ready
00:02:18.440for bed. And he's like, dad, what do you think of my new starry night sky? It's like, what are you
00:02:22.820talking about? And he goes, I just plugged in the starry night sky. Don't be stupid, dad. Just
00:02:27.700what do you think? Is that cool galaxy? And I was like, dude, I don't see it. I was like, oh, wait
00:02:31.840a minute. I go like this. I was like, oh yeah, that is cool. I put my blue blocks go. And he's
00:02:36.300like, whoa, let me see. So then I take my blue blocks off and he couldn't look through it. He's
00:02:40.620like oh my god so those starry night constellations in our kids rooms no good for for uh blue light
00:02:47.360but they're pretty cool looking and he was pretty impressed that i couldn't see a thing
00:02:51.820with from the blue light blockers scarlet wanted to get one of those starry night things and i said
00:02:56.620no it's like you can have something red if you want that kind of shows up in your room but
00:03:01.380you can't have any of the blue stuff yeah yeah so before we get started can you give a brief
00:03:07.260background about who you are and what it is you do yeah so um i have a guy that lives in seattle
00:03:16.660married to a lovely woman for 23 plus years three boys i own a company called seeking health and
00:03:24.200seeking health is a supplement company that we're transitioning to a health company where we are
00:03:29.460trying to be more providing more tools more educational uh information about how you can
00:03:37.600support your own health um that's been going on since about 2011 i got my bachelor of science
00:03:44.360from university of washington and some molecular biology and then i was pre-med and i was when i
00:03:50.900was pre-med i was like well i don't really like any of the type of doctor i don't want to be a
00:03:54.880surgeon i don't be a neurologist i don't want to be a dermatologist i don't i don't want to be a
00:03:58.440family doctor. Nothing interested me. And so it was actually kind of frustrating. So I pulled
00:04:06.300myself out of school, end of my junior year, traveled South Pacific and Southeast Asia. And
00:04:10.960while on that trip, I got really ill in India, shocker. And while I was really ill in India,
00:04:17.940a local said, well, let me, let me just take you to our local doctor. And I'm like, oh God,
00:04:22.320here we go um so i was introduced to ayurvedic medicine and ayurvedic medicine is an ancient
00:04:28.520east indian style of medicine and uh i got significantly better with about 80 better in
00:04:34.520about an hour or less and medicine that actually used is still the remnants right there on my shelf
00:04:40.700as a memento um and then it led me to studying naturopathic medicine which i fell in love with
00:04:47.400Because naturopathic medicine utilizes the ability for nature and the environment, mindset, lifestyle, food, nutrition to support our overall health.
00:05:01.040and we can utilize minor surgery and pharmacology when we need to but our primary driver is you know
00:05:09.500the environment the basics that our ancestors would have used with uh targeted nutritional
00:05:15.100support which has been my uh forte i fell in love with biochemistry in junior year of high school
00:05:21.900and it just you know when you find one of those things you absolutely love it just kind of falls
00:05:26.160in your lap and you just want to keep it there your whole life and biochemistry for me was that
00:05:31.460i loved how it connected science and biology with our immediate lives and how our body functions
00:05:41.440utilizing these nutrients that we either consume or don't consume and the chemicals which we all
00:05:48.420consume and we don't want to and how that interferes with our biochemistry so when you
00:05:52.600When you go down that route, amazing things happen.
00:05:56.220And, you know, my goal is to help educate the masses about their own biochemistry in a way that is practical and actionable and provides tremendous success.
00:06:11.440And it's been helping a lot of people so far.
00:06:13.620hey everyone speaking of detoxing in this episode i've been saunaing pretty consistently to help
00:06:20.740detoxify since i became ill again from mold while living in florida seriously that stuff is
00:06:26.740everywhere and it's something to look into if you have weird symptoms like insomnia and food
00:06:31.160sensitivities low blood pressure heart palpitations it can cause so many things and it's so hard to
00:06:37.300avoid it's very frustrating and it really does impact you mold anyway back to the sauna the
00:06:43.420benefits to my energy and mood have been super beneficial and I've been using saunas for years
00:06:47.980because of it when I'm traveling I use bond charges infrared sauna blanket I also use it at
00:06:53.840home which works just like a normal sauna by helping you sweat as well as burn calories
00:06:59.240helps reduce inflammation stabilize your mood and deal with other symptoms like brain fog and
00:07:04.520anxiety by helping your body detox so anyone who's interested in detoxing or this very health
00:07:11.420focused podcast episode needs to try saunaing along with other ways of detoxing but a sauna is

00:07:40.800I think my audience is familiar with this, but so I was like, I've been chronically ill just
00:07:45.740forever and I've got things under control right now, but like they're barely under control all
00:07:50.340the time. So I'm doing well, but if anything sets it off, it's just a cascade of hell.
00:07:55.300And I always disregarded naturopaths, I think, because my mom was very, was a very hippie person
00:08:51.800And my assumption going into the diet was I'd go into the diet for a period of time,
00:08:56.400maybe six months calm everything down heal a bit and start reintroducing things
00:09:01.860and that that would go well and that hasn't happened to me so I've been on this diet and
00:09:07.080I've been managing it and I'm very grateful for the diet because I was very ill before it
00:09:11.520but I haven't been able to reduce the inflammatory responses and in the last couple years I've found
00:09:17.300out the hard way that my environment was playing a much larger role in my health than I had
00:09:22.680originally thought. So I always had air purifiers. I was using non-toxic products. I was really
00:09:28.380careful with what I was putting on my body and what I was around, but there were some. So mold
00:09:34.480is what got me in the last couple of years that I couldn't see. It was in drywall and I got sicker
00:09:39.960and sicker and sicker. And so recently I've been doing more research into like how to detox these
00:09:44.920issues and stop the histamine intolerance and various inflammatory responses that my body seems
00:09:51.800inclined to do so i wanted to start this podcast off with i know you basically specialize in in
00:09:58.180what histamine intolerance is and what to do about it so that we could start there and then just
00:10:02.620work our way up from there yeah definitely um and before we do that you know when you said that
00:10:13.760you were in a family surrounded with logic and and utilizing logical uh methods and approaches
00:10:20.940towards obtaining health totally understandable i mean that's what i want to do as well which is
00:10:27.160why i love biochemistry biochemistry is extremely logical and granted biochemistry is a human term
00:10:36.820that we made up um it could have been called squiggles you know for that matter but it's
00:10:42.260it's uh so we utilize this aspect of science to direct our understanding of how the body
00:10:49.920functions becomes dysfunctional and how to restore the function okay so in a logical sequence of
00:10:58.160events and understanding how the body does that and it's called mechanisms of accident and then
00:11:03.820we have physiology and pathophysiology the the the methods in which pathology or disease
00:11:09.760becomes into our systems so basically medical school is the first two years is learning how
00:11:17.120the body works the next two years is how does it get broken and then the rest of your life as a
00:11:22.140health professional it's how do you fix it which is why they call it a medical practice because
00:11:27.460it's extremely complicated and so when i was working with patients um i i noticed that doctors
00:11:36.420they would see a individual come in and that individual is labeled with something like say
00:11:42.220histamine intolerance or mold exposure and they would treat them the same instead of treating the
00:11:49.420patient they would treat the problem and that is a huge problem and i i quickly learned that
00:11:57.720let's say a patient came in with um heavy metal toxicity and that was a huge one that i worked on
00:12:03.820because i i worked heavily on environmental medicine shift so my specialty in naturopathic
00:12:08.960medicine is actually environmental medicine cool um and i actually got to work with some of the top
00:12:14.940doctors in the world uh on with environmental medicine and and uh that individual uh uh wrote
00:12:23.120the sequence of books uh chemical sensitivity behind me uh that's cool god his his name is
00:12:32.580escaping me um my gosh i gotta find his name let's say ray that's it dr bill ray i don't know
00:12:44.200if you've studied his work or not but no william ray is phenomenal um he's since uh passed um but
00:12:52.140so let's say a patient came in with heavy mental toxicity we would treat them the same and they
00:12:58.660some would do really really well some would have no benefit and some would get worse
00:13:02.560and i was like well there must be genetics involved here this was early early 2000s
00:13:08.040so you know 20 some years ago when genetics wasn't really utilized in medicine and so then i started
00:13:14.800looking at why these patients got worse and we would give them a lot of sulfur compounds for
00:13:21.220moving mercury out of their body okay and if you give it a lot of mercury compounds that can turn
00:13:27.220into sulfites and if you eat a lot of meat that can also that's a lot it can be a lot of sulfur
00:13:31.860as well cruciferous vegetables can really flare people um and so anyway i i suggested why don't
00:13:38.260we use a mineral molybdenum so hard to say um but molybdenum is a is a mineral that's naturally
00:13:44.640found on our planet in foods that processes sulfites so if you have sulfite intolerance
00:13:50.380You get headaches, irritability, red rashes, hot and headaches, asthma, difficulty breathing.
00:13:57.740And so these individuals who we were giving these massive amounts of sulfur compounds, supplements, like glutathione, acetylcysteine, glycine, what have you, DMSA, they would get these rashes.
00:14:12.220And I say, well, let's give them Linanum.
00:14:13.320and i don't know the percentage of improvement but a significant amount of patients who we
00:14:20.000started giving malignant to didn't have the reactions anymore they stopped and um so and
00:14:26.840my supervising doctor said oh yeah they just get red rashes and flush and they get headaches
00:14:31.360that's just a detox yeah so i you know it's in and i also want to say before we head into the
00:14:38.400histamine intolerance thing genetics is a huge aspect of what i do because i really like focusing
00:14:44.680on the individual not the label so the label of histamine intolerance or mast cell activation
00:14:49.920disorder that's a thing you are michaela okay so we need to focus on michaela not histamine
00:14:56.180intolerance and conventional medicine and conventional doctors and even naturopathic
00:15:01.860doctors and integrative doctors and functional medicine doctors they are they they get set in
00:15:07.200this realm of logic of icd-10 codes the patient walks in with the thing and they treat that thing
00:15:15.020instead of the patient and then stuff just goes it just you just don't improve and i had patient
00:15:21.280after patient that i worked on and um their charts would be you know a few inches thick can be chart
00:15:27.620number four and i i looked at their the summary and they're struggling with fibromyalgia their
00:15:33.260whole for the whole 10 years and so when they came in to see me i just pushed their charts away i
00:15:39.040said let's start over let's start over and um i i shit you not in in in one visit i identified the
00:15:50.260potential problem and um they did a lot of cleanup but granted they set the stage for me it's like
00:15:56.500someone who's you know unscrewing the cap on the bottle they loosened it right and then i got the
00:16:00.160cap off um but in in one visit i identified a huge problem my my treatment was stop all your
00:16:08.020supplementation jump in a sauna come back and see me and she could not get up her first time i saw
00:16:18.240her i went into the in the lobby to go get her she goes excuse me it's gonna take me about 101.00
00:16:22.160minutes to get up from a seated position she was that sore she had to move her arm slowly0.99
00:16:28.040and then she used that other arm to pick up her other arm and then you just get up i mean she was0.99
00:16:34.060so sore she could barely move um and uh and then the next time i saw her in the lobby
00:16:41.520it was like a month later and i was all excited and and my supervising doctor says yeah because
00:16:47.220i i don't know why i let you stop all those cleansing supplements and fasting supplements
00:16:51.300and detox supplements and parasite killing supplements but you know we'll just see what0.99
00:16:56.220happens and and because i was really pushing for it i walked out in the lobby she jumped up
00:17:01.320literally ran to me and gave me a huge hug oh yeah so that that was really cool um so utilize
00:17:10.120supplements wisely um yeah and and treat the individual not the the thing so you're you wanted
00:17:20.320me to discuss histamine intolerance i i do focus on histamine a lot um but histamine is a histamine
00:17:28.380is associated with essentially everything and i i don't want to give histamine a bad name histamine
00:17:33.380is extremely important to our to our physiology histamine supports our ability to think and focus
00:17:39.720right now our histamine levels are ideally at a certain amount that allows us to listen to this
00:17:45.020conversation and learn and stay awake if you ever picked up an antihistamine on the back of an
00:17:52.420antihistamine said this this drug may cause drowsiness so low histamine causes drowsiness
00:17:57.520the inability to learn pay attention stay awake etc um and histamine in the right amounts also
00:18:04.900supports our immune system's response to a trigger either it's mold or um you know bacterial or viral
00:18:11.840infection and so that histamine that comes from that response amplifies our immune system to go
00:18:18.180deal with the the problem the issue is some individuals if if i say fire in in my body
00:18:28.540uh the response is oh okay there's a fire let's go put it out and some people they're like you
00:18:35.860know basically infection happens like for my wife for example and it's not fire it's fire oh my god
00:18:43.300fire and her body just over amplifies and it just stays nuts and keeps screaming keeps yelling
00:18:48.900attacks everything her joints her brain her soft tissues um and it just keeps doing it and the fire
00:18:56.880is gone i mean you you wipe those those bacterial and viral infections out you know you've been sick
00:19:03.000for months now but uh you know you've been you've been fighting yourself um so you know i was looking
00:19:10.380at your genetics and um you i just emailed you your histamine report that we're working on right
00:19:17.980it's still in testing and what's interesting in your histamine report is you don't have that many
00:19:27.420susceptibilities genetically yeah to reacting to anything histamine specifically related yeah so
00:19:35.760then you get that report back and you're like damn i swore there was something genetically
00:19:40.520triggering my responses to things and there are i mean there's there's some things in here
00:19:46.020um that i'm looking at now that uh genetic variations that are are increasing your
00:19:51.260susceptibility to have higher levels of histamine but then you have other things that
00:19:54.800reduce your susceptibility so how do you interpret that right it becomes difficult so then that's
00:20:01.400where you go into your lifestyle and your diet and all that and I want to say too from a logical
00:20:06.880perspective what is a gene you know we hear the term gene or genetics and we think all those are
00:20:14.340difficult I'm going to freeze I'm not going to pay attention to this interview because I don't
00:20:17.780know anything about genetics well genetics is pretty simple genetics is a study of of how genes
00:20:24.160function in our body and what do they do so a gene has a specific job to do and sometimes they
00:20:30.700do multiple jobs so one today prepared us for this interview right he set up the the infrastructure
00:20:40.060the podcast me setting up this other app for for the interview prior to getting on now we've got
00:20:45.360you know other programs running in the background so you can say you know one was a gene to get this
00:20:51.520podcast going now we have another gene that's recording it there's another gene you know the
00:20:56.040microphone so they all have these functions and so i could have uh i could place this cap
00:21:02.720on my podcast mic or cover with my hand and even though the podcast microphone is plugged in with
00:21:09.200all these wires it's connected to all the systems i could block it with my hand let's say an
00:21:13.960environmental chemical or let's call it mold and you're not going to hear me anymore right or it's
00:21:19.200very muscled it doesn't sound good so you have to remove these obstacles so the genes can function
00:21:24.700and perform their jobs so and if you have a genetic variation you can you can you inherit
00:21:32.900these things that alter how your genes perform and they're not necessarily bad because natural
00:21:39.180selection relies on genetic variation and and allows us to adapt in our environments the problem
00:21:46.100is our environment changes so quickly um because of our you know race of technology that our
00:21:54.020genetic um genetics aren't aren't made up for i mean where are you originally from your ancestors
00:21:59.420you know uh yeah like almost like 95 northern europe like irish uk a little bit of scandinavian
00:22:08.680germany germany yeah so let's let's think about that in terms of weather conditions
00:22:15.820light conditions sun conditions foods that are eaten in those areas clothing um you know let's
00:22:22.900go back 200 years right let's think about 200 years ago what happened in scandinavia in germany
00:22:28.580those those times and you're probably you know hunter gatherers pillaging fishing um you know
00:22:35.740in the in the winter it gets pretty damn dark and cold and where you live in now scottsdale
00:22:41.020I just moved though right from I was in Miami and that's where I got ridiculously sick from mold
00:22:49.360and I was like I'm going to the desert that's it yeah I'm really happy that that you moved
00:22:54.360when you said Scottsdale I was actually relieved so good for you very smart okay that's that's
00:22:59.580fine very smart um but you know think about your you you moved your ancestral genes to Miami
00:23:07.820right where uh they're like where the hell are we right now and then you you move now to Scottsdale
00:23:17.580you know and I'm not saying we need to all go back to where our ancestral genes came from we
00:23:22.060don't need to race back to Germany or Scandinavia um but it's it's always interesting to think about
00:23:29.700that because that's where your genes are designed to survive and thrive because your ancestors
00:23:34.720survived and thrived there. And 200 years is far enough to go back. You don't have to go back to
00:23:41.500like caveman times. You're like, maybe I should live in a cave, but a non-moldy cave. Yeah. I'm
00:23:48.020not sure. That's a very good question. I don't know. But, you know, if we just think about 200
00:23:53.700years ago, you know, technology, the advancement of technology in 200 years has been pretty
00:23:58.780ridiculous yes um so you know we didn't have any of this and we were still eating food that was
00:24:05.660food it wasn't packaged by three major mega corporations that were controlling everything
00:24:10.040and you know 95 of the grocery store you shouldn't even touch um you know i love paul
00:24:15.740saudino's uh videos where he just walks around and bashes a lot of stuff um so including vegetables
00:24:22.380which is interesting and uh i use paul's work all the time when my wife says you need to have
00:24:26.640a salad. I'm like, no, I never really want a salad. So I love my meat. So anyway, get me back
00:24:35.520on track here. Yeah. Okay. So, so genes. So I did when I was first, when I first, it, when I,
00:24:43.100it finally occurred to me that I wasn't getting better in the medical system. I kind of went in
00:24:47.540a bunch of different directions. I did 23andMe. I tried to plug the raw data into third party
00:24:52.640services to see if there was anything weird about it i did my grandparents i did my parents on both
00:24:58.060sides i was like maybe there's some weird pattern somewhere that i can find that's contributing to
00:25:03.220these inflammatory responses i didn't really find anything there was no you're unable to detoxify
00:25:09.180this or you have problems with this like there wasn't any huge red flags that i was kind of
00:25:15.960expecting um is it possible that you can be put into an environment and you can turn on genes
00:25:21.140oh 100 i mean just think about it this way um in my book dirty genes i i talk about this okay
00:25:28.780when you lay down in a dark room your your genes are your melatonin genes are turning on
00:25:37.960in darkness and they're turning on in order to start releasing melatonin that's why these are
00:25:44.300so that's why blue blockers are so effective in the evening because blue light inhibits the release
00:25:49.180of melatonin or it does something along the the melatonin um things i forget exactly what the
00:25:56.340mechanism is but anyway it disrupts your melatonin and um so light turns on genes that support
00:26:04.680some things and light also turns off other genes okay so food will do the same thing certain foods
00:26:14.360will turn on some genes and some foods will turn off others and when i say turn off turn off is a
00:26:20.960harsh statement it might slow it down so there might turn off some genes or it might just really
00:26:27.860really slow them down significantly or it might slow them down in their ability to perform just
00:26:34.700a little bit okay it depends so grapefruit when you eat or drink grapefruit like grapefruit juice
00:26:42.160you are slowing down a very very important detoxification gene called cytochrome p450
00:26:47.200there's multiple cytochrome p450s there's many many many genetic variations that occur with these
00:26:53.780they're really important for processing medications environmental chemicals and then it processes
00:26:59.400these compounds and actually usually more reactive compounds that you know you need
00:27:03.360phase two detoxification to come through like glutathione to help get them out of your your
00:27:07.920system. So it can be beneficial to have a slower cytochrome B450, but grapefruit will slow that
00:27:15.560down. Remember that lady who could barely get up when I told her to jump in a hot sauna? Well,0.99
00:27:22.080I didn't know her genetics at the time, but when I looked at the supplements that she was given,
00:27:28.260they were pushing the phase one detoxification really, really hard. And folks, this is extremely
00:27:33.420important. Okay. So if, if, if you are detoxing, you know, once a year or twice a year, and you
00:27:39.240always have these detox reactions, you should only feel better when you detox. You should not feel
00:27:43.280worse. If you feel worse, it's a red flag. And, and don't, don't just settle for, oh, it's just
00:27:51.080a die-off reaction or I'm detoxing. No, no, no, no. You should only feel better. So when you walk
00:27:57.620into your house, you start cleaning your house or taking a shower, you start washing the mud off
00:28:03.220your knees if you're in the yard you should only get cleaner shouldn't get dirtier right so um it's
00:28:11.360the same thing so uh i heard you resonate with that so if if you are supplementing with phase
00:28:16.660one types of nutrients and some are phase one and two so when i say that phase one means it
00:28:22.660transforms a compound like mercury um or uh Tylenol is another big one um it'll transform
00:28:32.160these Tylenol or mercury into a more reactive compound. Less so. I don't think Tylenol is
00:28:38.860reactive, and I could be wrong here, but I don't think Tylenol is that bad until it hits your
00:28:43.860Cytocorn P450 genes or enzymes, process into a more reactive compound, and then that's where it
00:28:50.400can wreak havoc. So, and now you need the phase two to help clean up that mess, and then phase two
00:28:56.220leads to phase three where you pee it out or poop it out or sweat it out. So I looked at her
00:29:01.020supplements they were mostly phase one hardly any phase two i don't recall if she was constipated
00:29:05.880or not probably because taking so many supplements she was taking so many so if you're constipated
00:29:10.620you're just reabsorbing all these compounds yeah um and not getting them out so i said okay let's
00:29:16.440stop all this phase one pushing which were her supplements and this was my argument to the doctor
00:29:20.520let's get you in phase three support where you know i want to recommend colonic and enemas and
00:29:26.800all that but i i actually don't remember um where she was with that so we just threw her in a sauna
00:29:31.320and uh yeah thankfully it worked so when you started detoxing with health professionals or
00:29:40.000yourself did you notice that you got incrementally better for a while then got worse or
00:29:45.360walk walk us through that yeah so it was mostly back in 2016 2017 when i was i thought i had some
00:29:52.440sort of bacterial infection or viral infection that was just keeping my immune system in an
00:29:59.240inflammatory state. I hadn't considered mold at that point. And I tried a bunch of things. I
00:30:04.580sprouted a sodium metabisulfite allergy, like true allergy. So did my dad, which we'd never
00:30:11.900noticed before. Very severe. So like anaphylactic reaction to sodium metabisulfite. Did some
00:30:18.060research found molybdenum, the reactions were so severe that I didn't even feel any different with
00:30:23.200molybdenum. So that, that was kind of a neutral thing, but I tried a bunch of kind of detox
00:30:29.160protocols. It wasn't through a health professional. It was just trying certain supplements and I felt
00:30:36.260worse on everything I tried. I tried a bunch of different probiotics. I tried the low histamine
00:30:40.740probiotics. Um, I think my gut was too damaged to tolerate probiotics. Maybe, um, activated charcoal
00:30:48.680was either neutral or maybe slightly positive. Um, recently from the mold exposure, I've been
00:30:55.380taking cholestyramine, which I don't know if that's how you pronounce it. I've been calling
00:30:58.920it CSM. That's, so that's been the only thing I think I've ever taken that helped and it helped
00:31:07.300dramatically it was crazy actually I had so just so so people know it's a binder it's not
00:31:14.880systemically absorbed and it binds bile and then when you poop it out I apparently it just takes
00:31:22.300whatever is in your bile and releases it I don't know if they actually have evidence of what comes
00:31:27.580out but it just made me feel better but while like I was having while it was traveling through
00:31:34.620my digestion i could feel it and i'd get symptoms so i'd like sweat and things um and feel worse
00:31:40.340but it was interesting because i knew that was right before i was basically going to have a
00:31:43.560bowel movement and that lasted for about a month um and i got like some pain say that say that bit
00:31:50.240again about bowel movement so right before i was going to have a bowel movement my symptoms would
00:31:54.880flare a little bit so i'd get nerves some nerve pain and sweating um almost like a re-exposure
00:32:01.320that's what it felt like uh and then i'd have a bowel movement and it would be gone but every
00:32:05.760time i took the csm this was while you're taking the colicidamine or before while so this was after
00:32:11.440i started that lasted for about a month and then since then everything's been good but that's been
00:32:15.920the only detox like helper thing i've tried that hasn't gone terribly wrong like usually i i just
00:32:22.140feel i feel so much worse and i trying to reintroduce probiotics i had some medical help
00:32:27.180there. And the entire time it was like, oh, you're just getting through a die off period. You're
00:32:32.420just, it's just a bit of a Herx reaction type of thing. And it was so bad that I was like, there's,
00:32:37.600I don't know, this doesn't feel like it's an improvement. This feels like I'm reacting to it
00:32:42.820and it didn't go away. So that's why I, you know, gravitated towards the diet. Cause I just cut out
00:32:47.220everything. Wasn't taking any supplements. I was like, just like trying to survive. Um, and that
00:32:52.160lowered a lot of my symptoms. So it was just, when you said, you know, if you're taking supplements
00:32:56.740and you're experiencing all these bad reactions,
00:32:58.620but it's like die off and you're detoxing.
00:33:00.660I didn't feel like that was right either.
00:46:48.540And so, you know, your liver gets just loaded with phosphatidylcholine.
00:46:53.140And that just helps the cholesterol slip right out.
00:46:57.420So then you don't get cholesterol-based gallstones anymore.
00:47:00.000So if you've had your gallstone removed, the problem of the gallstone has been removed.
00:47:06.720but the horrible thick bile has not been resolved and you're still struggling with that so your
00:47:13.460symptoms are still there they're just different than your immediate pain in your gallbladder
00:47:19.060because that's been now removed but now you still have fatty liver you still have uh reduced bile
00:47:25.060acid synthesis and bile acid flow and um you know right shoulder tightness and itchiness and what
00:47:30.720have you and here's an interesting study that they did on mice is they they they took mice
00:47:36.180poor mice and they uh they tied a suture in the bile duct of the mouse so the bile couldn't get
00:47:45.700out and these these mice had no digestive issues so you said you had SIBO at some point well I had
00:47:52.940a c difficile infection so and it was in my small intestine so yeah yes okay I guess okay yeah yeah
00:48:00.460that that's definitely an infection yeah um so they they tied the bile duct of these mice
00:48:07.280so the bile couldn't get through into the small intestine they got SIBO they had bacterial
00:48:14.820overgrowth in their small intestine and and the and the researcher's like oh that's really
00:48:19.860interesting so they didn't treat the mice with antibiotics they removed the the suture of the
00:48:29.920bile duct which allowed the bile to flow back into the small intestine what do you think happened
00:48:34.460and got rid of the SIBO exactly SIBO went away oh cool I mean that makes sense that's interesting
00:48:41.440yeah so you know everybody has been taking rifaximin or all you know uh you know
00:48:48.600prescribed antibiotic after prescribed antibiotic they might get some relief for a week or two um
00:48:54.780or not um or in some people may have been lucky and they've they've gotten completely relief
00:48:59.720um but if you just if the doctor's saying oh you just need to keep cycle refaximin maybe you're on
00:49:05.740it all the time or low dose you just stay on it um nobody's talking about the gallbladder issues
00:49:11.200even the leading experts of SIBO are not talking about the gallbladder and the bile production and
00:49:15.940the bile flow dropping into the small intestine because bile is a natural antimicrobial
00:49:20.520so it supports insulin secretion and diabetes it supports your hormones your thyroid your bone
00:49:26.280health it's it's so so incredible supports your healthy flora and your gallbladder and your
00:49:30.980small intestine um so supporting gallbladder health is incredibly important and some things
00:49:37.020that you can do with that is i wanted to ask you about so you're you're eating meat now right
00:49:43.100yep for the last five and a half years okay um how fatty is this meat and if as you notice think
00:49:51.620back so if you've had a very fatty cut of meat compared to a more lean type of meat like bison
00:49:59.580or buffalo or venison um or elk um how do you tend to feel um after so when i first started the diet
00:50:11.700i was kind of averse to fat and then about eight months in i craved it for about two years like
00:50:18.720lots of it I was I was eating a crazy amount of fat and about two and a half and my digestion
00:50:24.720wasn't good but I felt like it was making me feel better cognitively and then about two and a half
00:50:31.480years in I think around that I switched over to lamb that helped my digestion a lot so I think
00:50:37.160it was histamine intolerance from the aged steak I was eating and then about three years in I
00:50:41.940switched over to leaner cuts because for whatever reason just how I felt the fat wasn't doing it for
00:50:48.100me anymore in the leaner. So I eat, I eat mostly New York's now. I can eat beef again. So the
00:50:54.400histamine intolerance seems to be, I don't know, somewhat dampened to when I was living in the
00:50:59.800moldy house. It was really bad then. So I would say I'm not super, super high fat, but New York's
00:51:06.320are pretty fatty. Okay. And how well do you chew your food? Probably not well. I kind of inhale it
00:51:13.780and then continue working okay and do you work while you're eating um not for dinner but generally
00:51:22.940yeah okay don't look at me like that no no no I do it too um so I wrote the book dirty jeans
00:51:33.460not perfect jeans right so uh and it's the the cool thing is when we have uh when we dirty our
00:51:41.020own genes for the lifestyle that we do at times. The key is to knowing how to clean it up. So you
00:51:47.960can take digestive enzymes or something to help support your digestion. So you ever heard of the
00:51:54.640cephalic phase of digestion? Yes, but I don't know what it is. Yeah. Cephalic phase of digestion is
00:52:01.040the initial phase of digestion. It's when you're in the kitchen cooking. It's when you're preparing
00:52:06.760your food it's the anticipation of food it's smelling touching preparing visually seeing it
00:52:12.560that's all the cephalic phase that is preparing your body to get the digestive systems going
00:52:19.140because it sees the anticipation of food if you have a dog or a cat i've had a dog yeah i can't
00:52:25.940can't tolerate anything now but i used to have one yeah so what would happen when you walk towards
00:52:33.080the pantry would happen and you picked up that bag of food or you know that you prepared something
00:52:37.980that you got their bowl what do they do start drooling basically exactly right so cephalic
00:52:44.020phase in an animal pretty instant in us as well so i'm going to say the word lemon sour
00:52:50.940extremely sour and lemon what's happening in your mouth right now anything yeah probably
00:52:56.500salvation yeah yeah right that that crazy just by saying the word lemon your anticipation of
00:53:04.620having a lemon come to your mouth has already made you increase salvation right so 40 of your
00:53:11.000digestion for zero 40 of your digestion is this anticipation of eating food so it's extremely
00:53:19.640important that we, we, I don't want to say respect, but we utilize the cephalic phase
00:53:27.500of our digestion more often than not. And there's times where we can't and, um, you know, or just
00:53:36.140don't want to, um, but notice that, okay, how's my digestion after? And if you're inhaling the food,
00:53:44.600you're just going to feel heavier you're not going to feel lighter um so i think it was a japanese who
00:53:50.920said uh chew your water drink your food something along like that meaning chew the hell out of your
00:53:58.300food and uh are if if if you think about your stomach your stomach is just a bag full of acid
00:54:06.940and it should have acid but the acid isn't there until the cephalic phase tells it to produce more
00:54:13.980acid i mean it's there but it's in lower amounts the ph will actually drop with the cephalic phase
00:54:18.460um otherwise we probably burn our tissues more um so but the the acid if you think about it if
00:54:26.860if you swallow a piece this big you're only getting the acid around the outside of that
00:54:33.400chunk of meat right so you're only digesting the perimeter of that meat not the interior
00:54:38.480so that comes through and that little piece this piece might you know fall down to maybe
00:54:45.000half of the size so half of this bite of food is now just being pooped out because you didn't
00:54:53.860properly chew it so if you chew this piece you know this little bit you know in a lot smaller
00:55:01.040pieces now that acid can get around every little kind of bit of your meat and the food that you
00:55:07.540eat and so can the protein-based enzymes and the carbohydrate-based enzymes. They can just go
00:55:12.160around all around the little pieces of food and process it, break it down so you can absorb it
00:55:18.060and get the nutrients that you really, really need. So I would love to see you honor the cephalic
00:55:24.940phase and honor yourself in dedicating time to your eating and to yourself and also chewing the
00:55:33.460hell out of your food and cutting it into smaller pieces and literally putting your fork and knives
00:55:38.200down on the table and leaning back and and eat something pretty um you know the stair uh scotts
00:55:46.360dale is beautiful there's lots of stuff to look at or engage in conversation a good conversation
00:55:51.840with your husband not not uh no arguing that that'll shut it right down um but these are again
00:55:59.040you know here i am focusing on genetics and looking for genetic variations but at the same
00:56:03.480time i will flip right back up to the very very basic fundamentals right so we've we've talked
00:56:10.260about how you have a genetic variation that reduces your ability to synthesize fossil choline
00:56:14.380um you know significantly but we've also gone right to the fundamentals if you're coaching
00:56:20.740a basketball team or a soccer team and you don't coach the fundamentals of of passing the ball
00:56:26.180but you focus so heavily on you know some type of trick you know you're gonna lose the game
00:56:32.500so um you gotta practice the fundamentals and implement yeah um it does okay two questions
00:56:42.320one does throwing a steak in an air fryer and flipping it count as preparation that's the first
00:56:48.200question i suppose absolutely yeah because you've gone to the fridge right yeah you you remove the
00:56:55.000steak you're preparing the steak you season the steak or maybe you haven't seasoned the steak
00:56:59.120um and um you know no that is that is all preparation for sure um there's um have you
00:57:07.640looked at the auto grill auto wild grill yeah yeah i just swank same kind of thing though
00:57:14.080okay the the i don't like using gas um as propane powered i but you know i
00:57:22.480i have not noticed any issues from that um it's very clean burning um you know i i remember
00:57:32.900growing up with my with my dad when he would get the charcoal briquettes and spray the lighter
00:57:38.760fluid all over it and light it and that's you know that's pretty bad um but no i i would say
00:57:46.060that that is definitely um it goes phallic phase so you're you're doing that now we just need to
00:57:51.220reduce your workload while you're eating and um you know just try you know one meal
00:57:57.020and maybe work a different meal um but give it a shot it's it's really really important
00:58:02.640okay i'm convinced i do eat in really small bites so at least that helps that's that's great that's
00:58:09.960kind of an automatic thing so my mouth isn't open when i'm eating yeah okay well now chew it
00:58:17.060yeah got it and chew it really well um and you will also notice that when you chew your foods
00:58:25.040really really well uh you eat less because you become fuller faster because uh you're absorbing
00:58:31.360the nutrients faster and your body has these amazing senses of feedback mechanisms what have
00:58:37.120you and it's like oh the satiety signals will will fire so if some people are listening right now and
00:58:42.900and they're they're always hungry and uh there's a kid at our house uh that he's a he's a teenager
00:58:49.960and he just inhales his food the kid's always hungry he's just eating all the time i was like
00:58:54.380we gotta chew your food man and um he's just a skinny rail um because i don't get it i was like
00:59:01.400well chew your food chew your food chew your food and and it's funny my youngest theo you'll look at0.51
00:59:06.180me sometimes and we have a rule of no phones at the table and and um there was one time where i
00:59:11.500i came to the table either with my phone or was a book or something and and he's sitting there with
00:59:17.220me and he's like dad i'm like thank you yeah so you created a monster yeah no he he i'll say theo
00:59:28.300back to him sometimes too so we all we all fall backwards speaking of supplements you may or may
00:59:35.000not know that i have launched a hangover supplement called after party right here which
00:59:41.400you can get at fullerhealth.com linked below in the comments no drinking isn't non-toxic or healthy
00:59:48.020however it can be fun especially if you don't abuse it ruin your life with it after party works

01:00:21.360I've got a lot of people interested now that I've been talking about mold because like it made me
01:00:26.020so sick, interested in like what I'm doing to detox and how that's going and everything.
01:00:31.740What's your opinion? So I've been working with a practitioner who's diagnosed me with SIRS,
01:00:37.640which is this chronic inflammatory response syndrome. And I was like, well, I definitely
01:00:41.440have some sort of chronic inflammatory response syndrome. So that's fair. I don't know how it's
01:00:49.500going to go because I haven't tried it and I'm pretty skeptical of everything. All I know is
01:00:53.040the cholestyramine has helped and removing myself from that environment has obviously helped um how
01:00:58.060do you feel about some practitioners focus on mold as an issue for inflammatory diseases
01:01:03.840do you think there's merit behind that for sure yeah i do um the problem is when you go to a
01:01:12.180specialist in a particular thing they're going to focus on that specialty they're going to ignore
01:01:16.280some of the things like yeah chewing your food um so so just be mindful that you're seeing a
01:01:23.920specialist and what their specialty is go there for that but don't forget about everything else
01:01:31.020that's going around right so i'm looking at your your genetic results here on your histamine pathway
01:01:36.740And you do have increased susceptibilities for inflammatory responses.
01:01:44.140So the question is, you know, to what degree, to what extent are these genes contributing to that?
01:01:54.240And to what extent is the mold and potentially the secondary bile acids that are happening?
01:02:00.600And I suspect there's still something going on in your small intestine, large intestine.
01:02:05.980stomach me too yeah but like I mean I assume so but I don't know what to do about it I don't know
01:02:14.180how to find out what the problem is yeah and um there's there's a a very good friend of mine and
01:02:21.120colleague uh she's an Australian naturopath uh Elizabeth Lambert um I'll put you in touch with
01:02:26.460her and um she's been doing quite a bit of research on polyphenols and the guts and bile acids and
01:02:32.300have you ever tried berberine yeah i tried berberine but this was when i i mean i was so
01:02:38.220sick i tried i tried berberine it didn't make me feel good but i also felt quite bad but i mean
01:02:44.100yeah like i told you i've been loath to introduce supplements because even introducing certain
01:02:50.960vitamins if it's not injected right they you know i get insomnia and feel awful they're pretty
01:02:58.020severe reaction so it's like ah forget it maybe supplements aren't for me right so you're you're
01:03:03.720when you take a supplement you know these bacteria or yeast or parasites or whatever is in there
01:03:09.460um are are feeding off of those nutrients and then they're producing more compounds
01:03:16.040and more secondary biolasses and you feel worse which is why you can't supplement
01:03:19.720yeah so yeah you're you're feeding the monster literally um and you do have uh and and so
01:03:27.720i will preface that yes we ran your histamine report we looked at it um i don't see anything
01:03:35.120um just jumping out at me like there's no genetic variation that says oh my god this is this is the
01:03:41.480one right that's usually it's usually not the case but i will i will also say that when we look at
01:03:48.140genetic results or when we look at people's genetics we don't look for high risk um and
01:03:56.280and very rare genetic variations we look for common genetic variations that affect individuals
01:04:02.020um mildly moderately or significantly but we don't look at the really rare severe ones
01:04:07.660um because frankly they're really rare and if they're that severe you're going to notice it
01:04:14.720pretty quickly at birth but you do have an HLA-DQB1 gene which is a significant find
01:04:23.680then you have some inflammatory cytokines which are also more sensitive so when your body yells
01:04:30.180fire they jump and they they're screaming and yelling at each other to you know over prepare
01:04:36.000but interestingly this this actually may be a a more significant thing is is um
01:04:44.400infection fighting so there is there's a gene called myeloperoxidase which actually makes
01:04:52.900a compound that is found is the main ingredient of bleach so your body actually makes its own bleach
01:04:58.980and you have a um uh reduced ability to produce your own bleach yeah and it says um you might
01:05:13.720have react you might have lower i'm reading now you have lower incidence of many diseases
01:05:19.220triggered by reactive oxygen species inflammation but you're more susceptible to diseases triggered
01:05:24.700by things like h pylori helicobacter pylori lives in your stomach so if if you think about it if you
01:05:32.500have a genes job again think about it as a logical way the gene myeloproxidase mouthful is to produce
01:05:41.440bleach and you have a reduced ability to make bleach then the h pylori is going to be like
01:05:46.820sweet i'm gonna reside down here and if your cephalic phase of digestion isn't very strong
01:05:55.120your ability your ability to synthesize uh more stomach acid is also reduced and i was talking to
01:06:03.140an expert in h pylori and he says for every decade in life that we are is basically the
01:06:10.040percent likelihood that you have h pylori so your dad's risk for h pylori is significantly higher
01:06:15.820than yours right now is that common just due to his age yeah it's extremely common yeah okay
01:06:23.380um another one um is nox um nox is a is a gene is also um uh it's nadph oxidase its job is to
01:06:36.660produce pro-oxidants oxidative stress to fight infections and you have a homozygous variant
01:06:42.840which is reducing your ability 30 percent according to research papers so you have a 30
01:06:48.260percent reduced ability to produce reactive oxygen species needed needed to fight infection
01:06:53.520from pathogenic bacteria or fungi the variance lower expression can be productive for cardiovascular
01:07:00.720and other inflammatory diseases yet exhibits reduced effectiveness against fighting pathogens
01:07:06.060which might be one of the reasons why you have to be on this cholestyramine so persistently
01:07:12.060which explains why you can't take supplements which explains why you know you you have to take
01:07:18.000ivs for nutrients not yeah swallowing them right so i again you and i this first time we've we've
01:07:28.960talked we've chatted on via dms for years um and uh but this is the first time we've actually had
01:07:35.880this conversation in detail so i don't i i'm just throwing out suggestions right i'm not i'm not
01:07:43.760saying this is the thing but looking at your genetics and talking about some of the lifestyle
01:07:48.700things that we found out like you know the cephalic phase of digestion and so on and now
01:07:53.420these genetic variations um you know it's it's pretty pretty useful stuff to to know your your
01:08:00.740genes where these susceptibilities are and it's also interesting that you do well with eating
01:08:06.720meat because when you eat meat you have reduced need for some of these enzymes that are really
01:08:13.600slow like you have a 70 slower gene it's mthfd1 in your folate pathway that's really low but if
01:08:21.780you're eating meat it's not really as significant anymore interesting yeah so um and mcgfr is
01:08:32.620similar you can you could you know uh liver if do you eat liver or organ meats not really i tried
01:08:40.980to incorporate liver in and it honestly didn't make me feel very good which i didn't know why
01:08:45.880it was like digestive partially and then so like maybe once a year because i'll get a craving
01:08:53.340sometimes but like no not really i'm really just eating red meat okay um uh have you had paul
01:09:01.980saldino on your your podcast yet like years ago we're gonna have another podcast though soon
01:09:07.480okay yeah i think you should because he's come a long way um in his understanding and i i would
01:09:13.860have Paul on and I would chat about these things. Um, cause I don't know what organ meats are more
01:09:19.840tolerated by our digestion, which ones are easier to digest than others. Um, you know, hearts is a
01:09:26.140pretty easy. You would say, you'd think that, yeah, I don't know what's wrong with my body.
01:09:31.500You'd think it'd be easy. Yeah. But I, um, I was having dinner with him once with him, Mike Mutzel
01:09:39.780and and uh they gave me this uh quarter inch by or like half inch by half inch cube of frozen
01:09:48.760liver it wasn't cooked it was just frozen and they they cut it and sliced it and they
01:09:54.840froze it in like this little silicone freezer tray that you use for you know food prep um
01:10:01.360i was like oh god all right when in rome here we go and uh i ate it and it it actually the cold
01:10:10.280was refreshing um i can't stand liver by the way yeah i can't stand liver um it's it's tough
01:10:17.880it's gross it's just this weird texture um and uh but that frozen morsel that i got
01:10:26.000um was pretty impressive um it tasted just fine it was refreshing and i got an immediate
01:10:34.560buzz from it and a good buzz not like a red bull buzz um but i don't think i can tell you what a
01:10:41.600red bull buzz feels like because i don't think i've ever had it um it's not great but uh yeah
01:10:46.700i'm hesitating a little bit to recommend raw organs and meat to you given that there's i think
01:10:54.720something in your digestive system that shouldn't be there this has been my assumption for a very
01:11:00.700long time was there's something there but i don't know how to figure it out i don't know what it is
01:11:05.000fecal matter transplants haven't mattered i can't take probiotics so i can't fight them that way
01:11:09.780and i can't eat foods that potentially fight them because the response is just like cripples me um
01:11:18.920right so i've just been like maybe it'll go away and then i lived in a moldy house and everything
01:11:22.980got worse so then i was like maybe i have immune dysfunction from years of mold because there's
01:11:28.700black mold in my house as a kid too uh which is when i got quite sick so yeah that's where i'm at
01:11:36.740okay i i uh i'm gonna go in in doctor mode a few questions here um when did you last feel good
01:11:46.400i mean like really good i i felt so i feel pretty good right now but i would like when i feel really
01:11:55.860good i'm like high as a kite feeling good and so i probably feel like i'm at 70 right now
01:12:01.440but 50 is so awful that 70 feels very good i felt really good in 2018 when it was about six
01:12:09.720months into the diet i moved into a new apartment no no let's let's go let's go earlier than that
01:12:15.700oh my gosh I I haven't felt good ever before 2018 like I don't remember okay so as a young girl
01:12:24.180no I was so sick I had I had arthritis almost all over my body I was chronically fatigued I
01:12:30.680was anxious I was itchy all the time I couldn't breathe through my nose like I didn't breathe0.64
01:12:34.360through my nose till I was like 23 when I changed my diet so it's just forever yeah were you breast
01:12:40.920breastfed c-section no breastfed yes okay c-section breastfed was it a complicated pregnancy
01:12:47.660um apparently i was in fetal distress when my mom was giving birth which is why they did a c-section
01:12:56.140i don't know if that was true or not but not that complicated the pregnancy wasn't complicated
01:13:01.780okay um have you ever done genetic testing looking for a gene called uh fut2 no
01:13:11.880okay i would go through your reports the problem with genetic reports is
01:13:18.100that you have humans preparing these genetic reports and some of these organizations that
01:13:26.240are preparing genetic reports don't know what the hell they're doing they're just copying other
01:13:30.400genetic reports trying to make a buck yep and and they they're giving you information that is
01:13:35.560actually leading you down the wrong route so i say that uh because there's there's a lot of reports
01:13:45.620out there um so be careful there's some reports i i think that are are quite good um but fut2 is
01:13:54.400a genetic variation that's that um is really important for mucosal protection against
01:14:03.340bacterial infections and also healing and and um i'm gonna butcher it so i'm gonna type it in real
01:14:11.500quick here um my original like hypothesis was so when i was about six months old i got really sick
01:14:21.920with strep and, um, I was put on antibiotics and I ended up with a very severe yeast infection
01:14:28.560after the antibiotics. And then after that, like at, by the age of two, I had arthritis everywhere.
01:14:35.920So I was like, maybe there's some sort of strep, but that'd be, oh, so I don't know,
01:14:41.140hopefully it's not viral, but if it's bacterial, I was thinking strep seems to be
01:14:44.720what started all this mess. Unless there was something that made me predisposed to the
01:14:50.440infection in the first place. Okay. Have you been treated for yeast systemically,
01:14:55.500like taking Nystatin or anything? No, I had, um, I had Candida overgrowth tested by stool tests,
01:15:02.940but when I went on the meat diet, those tested negative after about six months.
01:15:06.980So I never took anything for it. Okay. Okay. Um, so yeah, Nystatin is a, is a quite safe,
01:15:18.120uh, medication that is very targeted for yeast, which is, as you said, you're possibly it's,
01:15:29.040it's gone. Um, testing though is also inherently problematic. You would think that getting a lab
01:15:36.280test, uh, would be bulletproof in terms of evidence and accuracy. The problem is it's,
01:15:44.180it's riddled with issues um so that's why i like what i call empirical uh testing where
01:15:52.340you do some action and you you await the result and you you identify what that result is is that
01:15:59.980result nothing okay is a result something or it was a positive or negative and how much
01:16:05.220um and and that also trigger other things that are bad or other things that were good
01:16:12.140It's, it's pretty much that simple. So if I take a glutathione lozenge, then I feel clarity in my head starting within about five seconds. Then after about a minute, um, my vision is, is, is brighter and my head becomes even clearer.
01:16:33.900and then about five to ten minutes later I have an increase in uh happy mood and more energy I
01:16:44.960feel lighter like overall so you say it's just like these incremental improvements and that's
01:16:50.100what I want you doing when you're changing and applying different things you know when you're
01:16:54.840eating say if you eat rabbit how do you feel if you eat bison how do you feel if you eat fish
01:17:02.420how do you feel um fish i probably wouldn't recommend um i tried because of histamine
01:17:08.500yeah oh histamine yeah that's how i like how i got to the meat diet was taking extensive notes
01:17:15.140about what happens when i do x it was awful because usually when i did x which was reintroducing a
01:17:20.980food it'd take three weeks to recover it was like very slow process until i was just like okay
01:17:26.640everything's out let's just start again at zero but then i haven't been able to get past zero
01:17:31.880so i'm okay like i'm okay now the mold really did me in
01:17:35.740yeah mold is mold is terrible terrible and let's hit that for a second but i i really want you to
01:17:42.560um research the fut2 gene it's a secretor or non-secreter if you are genetically a non-secreter
01:17:51.180then your ability to fight infections in your nose and your mouth um digestive system
01:17:58.100is is reduced significantly so now you're more prone to infections and then there's a compound
01:18:06.260out there a supplement which i tested for a long time not very well but it's because i also didn't
01:18:14.140look for people but i also read the research no that's not right i i read facebook groups
01:18:21.680and the fut um boards on facebook talking about this supplement called 2fl it's two apostrophe
01:18:31.780capital f capital l it's like some crazy weird word of course um so there's 2fl and then there's a
01:18:41.080l n m t or something like this it's a it's another um oligosaccharide that is commonly
01:18:50.000found in breast milk so you naturally get 2fl high levels in breast milk if your mother is a
01:18:57.080secretor oh your mom has to have the fut2 gene be as a secretor if she's a non-secreter you're also
01:19:06.120not getting it cool okay so this is a really important gene to know about so one question
01:19:13.140i had written down actually so say people are trying to they've got damaged guts or something's
01:19:17.640going on how effective is either breast milk or raw milk in maybe overcoming pathogens in the gut
01:19:26.960like can you just start again kind of yeah yeah so um i've been working really hard trying to
01:19:36.460formulate a a gut supplement and it's very hard it's very difficult because everybody's different
01:19:43.060I can't just target celiac or Crohn's or ulcerative colitis or what have you, because everybody will react to different things based upon their microbiome and other things.
01:19:52.000I will say that I do know in the autism spectrum realm that a lot of parents find a lot of success from camel milk.
