Dr. Seneff is a research scientist who has devoted many years of research to vaccines and the statistical rise of autism and other illnesses. In part 1, Dr. Seneff explained how glyphosate impacts humans, plants, and the environment. She joins us here in part 2 to discuss more about glyphosate in combination with vaccines. Dr. Seneff notes that a strong response to a vaccine is a sign of a compromised innate immune system. 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. Key TakeawaysWhat a good response to a vaccine really means (04:07)CDC can't produce safety studies (06:16)The childhood vaccination schedule  (06:45)The mRNA technology (9:00)If you are healthy you are much less likely to get injured by the virus (12:59)Original antigenic sin (15:20)Effects of glyphosate on fertility (17:18)Under-reporting of vaccine injury (24.00)How to protect yourself from toxicity and disease (24:42) Find Dr. Stephanie Seneff hereToxic Legacy book link

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. Key Takeaways- Dr. Stephanie Seneff's research journey (01:57)- The unusual mechanism of glyphosate toxicity (05:17)- What is glyphosate (11:43)- The court cases implicating glyphosate to cancer (14:32)- Major health impacts of glyphosate (20:25)- Prevalence of glyphosate in the environment (26:21)- Why glyphosate is more harmful at low levels than at high levels (29:18)- How glyphosate affects the brain (30:36)- How to detox glyphosate from our system (34:45)Additional ResourcesDr. Stephanie Seneff's Toxic Legacy book---- Do you want to improve your 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.Key Takeaways- Alexis McClay's background (02:01)- How toxic chemicals enter and impact the body (05:35)- Most common toxic chemicals in cosmetic products (07:12)- Dealing with the root causes of skin problems (12:05)- Natural skin care products (16:56)- The importance of gut health to good skin (19:23)- How poor-quality sleep impacts your skin (24:11)- Holistic approach to skincare (28:00)- Sunscreen – to use or not to use (32:12)Additional Resources- KOA Life On Amazon - KOA Life Website---- Do you want to improve your health?

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)- Why stress is the leading cause of mortality (03:00)- Gut-brain axis (06:23)- The role of the microbiome in controlling the stress response signaling (13:30)- Things you can do to improve your microbiome (19:13)- Spore based probiotics (25:24)Additional Resources: Connect with Kiran Krishnan:- Microbiome Labs- Instagram ---- Do you want to improve your physical health?

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.Key Takeaways- Why microbes rule the world (02:03)- Symbiosis and dysbiosis of the microbiome (08:18)- The largest organ in the body is not the skin but the mucosal lining (14:15)- How innate natural immunity works (15:31)- How your immune system responds to a novel virus (16:52)- The role of antibodies in your immune response (19:30)- Impact of leaky gut on immune response (22:52)Additional Resources: Connect with Kiran Krishnan- Microbiome Labs- Instagram ---ditchthequickfix.com/Do you want to improve your physical health?

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 ToxinsThese 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. Key Takeaways- Nature's ultimate multivitamin (02:29)- Meet Michael Kummer (03:32)- The 5 core pillars of health (09:41)- Health benefits of organ meats (15:21)- How to determine if a diet is right for you (21:55)- How to get kids to eat healthy (29:14)- The 80-10-10 diet rule (33:33)- Embrace discomfort to get healthy (39:26)- Fix your chronic stress (41:24)Additional Resources: Connect with Michael Kummer: - Use code "No shortcuts" to save 15% off nature's ultimate multivitamin- Blog - Instagram ------ditchthequickfix.com/Do you want to improve your physical health?

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's extensive episode on gut health answers all questions you've ever wanted to ask about the gut-health connection and how spore probiotics reach the small intestine to make a positive impact. Key Takeaways- From a trial attorney to a wellness advocate (01:44)- The gut-brain connection (08:12)- Just Thrive probiotics (10:45)- Survivability of different probiotics in the gut (13:45)- The health benefits of a healthy gut (20:23)- The immune system is housed in the gut (23:42)- Antibiotics vs. Probiotics (32:15)- Should children take probiotics (34:55)- How gluten affects the gut and what you can do (37:01)- Probiotics use for pets (41:27)- How leakiness of the gut causes brain inflammation (43:41)Additional ResourcesThe Just Thrive difference  (Use code ditch15  to get 15% off your order)------ditchthequickfix.com/Do you want to improve your physical health?

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. Key Takeaways- Meet Dr. William Cowden (00:25)- The transition from allopathic to integrative medicine (03:10)- How mold and fungi affect the respiratory system (07:26)- How to nebulize hydrogen peroxide (12:29)- Why the increased cases of autism?

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. Key Takeaways- Meet Kevin and hear his personal bone health story (02:10)- Relationship between gut and bone health (05:09)- Demographic prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis (07:52)- Why the pharmaceutical solution is woefully inadequate (11:44)- What contributes to bone loss (16:02)- Medications that accelerate the progression of bone loss (19:24)- The role of resistance training in bone-building (23:59)- Bone density vs. bone quality (29:10)- How to comprehensively address bone loss (36:16)- Best foods for bone health (39:59)Additional Resources

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.Listen in!Key Takeaways- Eat real food (04:19)- Getting off medications (06:30)- The gut-brain connection and where CBD comes in (09:55)- How the endocannabinoid system works (11:26)- How full-spectrum CBD is extracted and processed (21:11)- CBD Dosing: Start low and slow (22:09)- Differences between topical and oral usage (24:48)- People who shouldn't take CBD (28:53)- Health benefits of CBD (32:18)- CBD for pets (37:05)Additional ResourcesDrCass.com   Get 15% off your first order by using OZONE15------ditchthequickfix.com/Do you want to improve your physical health?

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. Key Takeaways- Cannabis use for health (03:01)- The 3 biggest things for pain management (05:18)- CBD oil for chronic illnesses (08:52)- CBD products for cancer (11:28)- Is smoking cannabis harmful to our health (13:10)- How cannabis works in our system (14:45)- Who should avoid cannabis (16:50)- Our body manifests emotional trauma physically (21:50)Additional ResourcesLearn More about Micro Pulse PEMF Technology----Get The Foundation Training App HereFoundations of Health Book-----UCLA Pot Smoking Study----ditchthequickfix.com/Do you want to improve your physical 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. Key Takeaways- A holistic care approach to Covid (01:26)- Addressing coinfections in Covid patients (05:47)- Importance of Vitamin D in affecting outcomes (08:00)- Relationship between Covid and cancer (10:15)- Detox approaches to post-injection symptoms (17:45)- Prevention is the best strategy (22:35)- A team-based approach to holistic healthcare (23:30)- Gut health is a huge part of our immune systems (25:30)Additional ResourcesDr. Paul Anderson's website ------ditchthequickfix.com/Do you want to improve your physical health?

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. Key Takeaways- Meet Dr. Paul Anderson (00:55)- Outside the box strategies for cancer (05:52)- Integrative approaches for a better quality of life (10:56)- Commonalities of chronic illness and cancer (12:23)- The Anderson Eight (14:04)- How toxins slow the immune system (18:02)- Your body's compensation for chronic illness (18:54)- Individualized integrative therapies (22:53)Additional ResourcesDr. Paul Anderson's website Dr. Anderson's Outside the Box Cancer Therapies Book ------ditchthequickfix.com/Do you want to improve your physical health?

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. Tune in to learn more about cold exposure and why you should take the plunge!Key Takeaways- Meet Dr. Thomas Seagar (00:14)- How contrast therapy works (07:25)- The psychological and metabolic benefits of cold therapy (12:40)- How cold exposure increases insulin sensitivity (15:25)- Brown fat vs. white fat (17:58)- How men can increase testosterone through cold exposure (20:13)- Cold plunge benefits for women (29:17)- Are ice baths safe?
