Mold Toxicity: The True History and Novel Solution with Seth Jones
Mitolife Radio
It has been really interesting to research mold and learn about the different approaches that people have to it. Seth Jones, founder of Superstratum Labs, joins me in this episode to talk about why throwing out all of your belongings that have been exposed to mold is a thing of the past. In the past fifteen years I've heard many stories about people moving out of their moldy homes and living in tents to restore their health. With a proper protocol, like what Seth designed, using hypochlorous acid, chlorine dioxide, and an innovative mold resistant coating that you can douse your bathroom in...

Living and Thriving in Black Mold for the Past Three Years
Mitolife Radio
The night before I was to fly out to visit my family for Christmas I witnessed my basement raining down tons of water underneath my bathtub post soak. It turns out that all three contractors that worked on that custom lodestone bathtub did not check that it was sealed underneath the rocks. I've had the tub for four years and ever since then it has been feeding mold underneath in the drywall and insulation. The surprising thing is even with the exposure for at least the past three years I have been building my business, switching to a solo podcast format which takes more brain power, juggling...

Why I Left the Root Cause Protocol and Thoughts on Iron Deficiency
Mitolife Radio
I have been hearing about iron overload since 2012 from various natural health educators. In 2019 the seeds that were sprouted in my mind fully developed as I completely embraced the idea that everybody has iron overload and nobody is iron deficient. I went full steam ahead with that idea for the next several years, making it a core part of my health message. I practiced what I preached and donated blood twice. The first time I felt superhuman - very mentally clear and energetic. The second time I donated blood it gave me extreme fatigue, brain fog, and muscular weakness that took me a long...

Kidney Failure: It is Damaged Mitochondria
Mitolife Radio
I receive a lot of health questions about how to remedy various debilitating conditions. One of the more concerning questions I receive frequently is regarding kidney failure. Why is there an epidemic of people with failing kidney function? It comes down to mitochondria dysfunction. Instead of focusing in one one study like most health educators do, my goal with these short shows is to paint broad strokes and cover the entire subject from a birds eye view all the way down to the mitochondrial level. Most importantly, as I cover various health conditions in future episodes, I will focus very...

My Heavy Metal Detox Strategy
Mitolife Radio
There are many different philosophies in the natural health world about where people should start with their health. Some focus on increasing carbs, some focus on increasing protein, some focus on both. I've heard people in the Ray Peat community say that heavy metal detox is a fad and its not important. For the first half of the show I break down why I think its a great place to start, the biochemistry of exactly how heavy metals harm our cells, how car exhaust contributes to their accumulation, and my thoughts on tracking using HTMA and the Oligoscan. In the second half I talk about...

Structured Water and Filtration, Finally Combined
Mitolife Radio
Finally, an elegant water filter that actually filters out all contaminants and structures the water at the same time. The Mitolife EZ Flow structured water filter cleans the water in the first four stages, using a combination of a 5 micron sediment filter, KDF55, reverse osmosis, cation resin, and catalytic carbon. Inbetween those effective filtration processes the water is flowing through stages that make the water "ordered" or "coherant". This includes powerful neodynium magnets and 850 nanometer light on a hydrophilic surface, replicating the research of Dr Gerald Pollack and others...

Why I Megadose Melatonin Every Night
Mitolife Radio
Dubbed a sleep hormone, melatonin has been branded as a bandaid and short term fix to help you fall asleep. The health influencers told you that its dangerous because it will decrease your body's production if you supplement it. A popular quantum health neurosurgeon once made the ridiculous claim that it changes the shape of your eyeball if you take a melatonin pill, with zero clinical study to back up his claim. It turns out that melatonin is anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and protects your mitochondria from a myraid of assaults, one of which being electromagnetic...

Why I Love My Electric Vehicles Off Grid and Mitigating The EMF
Mitolife Radio
I have noticed the hatred towards electric vehicles growing the past five years in the natural health world. The topic has become political and there is a clinging to tradition, similar to people that didn't want to abandon the horse and buggy for the automobile, but that will pass with time. I have been saying for years: Why not see the utility and different use cases in both electric cars and gas and diesel cars? In this long time coming episode I talk about why I love owning electric vehicles being 100% off grid, the expensive lessons i've learned over the years to do it easily, how...

Lipofuscin: Cellular Kryptonite That Nobody Talks About
Mitolife Radio
There is a lot of talk about autophagy, or cellular recycling, and apoptosis, programmed cell death, in relationship to circadian rhythm entrainment, ketogenic diets, and intermittent fasting. What I never hear is people talking about lipofuscin, the intracellular kryptonite and shuts down both of those processes by gumming up the lysosomes of our cells. When the garbage recycling center of our cells gets up to 75% full of this nearly non-degradable material, our mitochondria, cell, and tissue function fails. In this episode I focus on the exact biochemical mechanisms of how lipofuscin causes...
info_outlineDid you know that the creator of Kelloggs corn flakes had a brother that became obsessed with light therapy? Brian Richards, founder of Sauna Space, joins us to talk about the history of light therapy and how it helped improve his past struggles with insomnia, brain fog and fatigue.
We talk about the difference between sunlight and artificial light therapy, the potential dangers of sunlight, the importance of near infrared light, what comes out of your body when you sweat in a sauna, his personal sauna routine, what makes his Firelight bulbs different from chicken coop heat lamps, why he added EMF shielding to his product, how he shielded the cables for his product, and why he added a metal cage around the bulbs.
I also ask him about flicker, how to use his lights to improve the health of the home environment, how long it takes to complete a full sauna session in his tent, his thoughts on red LED devices, his mineral supplement routine, thoughts on binders, and more.
