Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner of Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: All about Eggs & Pasture Raised Chickens with Kristy, Deprescribing & “De-Supplementing” with Dr. Curt Dearing [0:00:00] Intro, Nutrition World Updates, and Ed's Bodybuilding Prep Ed announces a new partnership with Azure: Bringing ~100 new holistic food items into Nutrition World. Examples: maple syrup, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, organic chicken breast, cheeses, farm butters. Ed shares he's preparing for the Chattanooga Fitness Bodybuilding Contest (his 4th year): Being coached by Matt Davis (Train Station gym). Current approach: high protein, ~40% fewer calories, focused fat loss. Matt had him do a high-carb refeed day (~300g carbs vs his usual 50g) which dramatically improved his energy and look. [0:9:11] Protein, Longevity, and Why Ed Focuses on Eggs Ed emphasizes a higher-protein diet, especially for aging, muscle maintenance, and longevity. Core diet elements he advocates: Higher protein Healthy fats Colorful vegetables (in smaller but consistent amounts) Notes many women under-consume protein, which accelerates muscle loss and impacts longevity. Introduces guest Kristy, a long-time friend and staff member who homesteads and raises eggs that Ed eats 12–18 per week. [0:11:04] Homesteading with Kristy: How She Raises Chickens and Protects the Flock Kristy's setup: Around 100 chickens, plus goats, dogs, cats, and a donkey (Bradford). Lives “on the prairie” (rural, wooded property). Uses no chemicals on the property (no weed killers, pest sprays, etc.). She wants chickens to “do chicken things”—roam, peck, eat bugs, move soil—rather than be treated like pets or indoor animals. Predator control: No perimeter fence; previously lost some chickens to a fox attack. Now uses Bradford the donkey and a Great Pyrenees dog for protection: Donkey alerts and deters daytime predators like hawks and owls (stomping and loud calls). Pyrenees patrols at night, primarily deterring coyotes. Roosters herd hens into cover when threats appear. Motivator: Kristy's passion for knowing where her food comes from, and controlling at least part of her family's food system. [0:15:09] Structured Water, and Animal Hydration Kristy filters all animal water with a high-grade system (not just a basic fridge filter): Removes contaminants without completely stripping all minerals (not full RO). Then she “restructures” the water with a swirling device (structure unit): Mimics water flowing over rocks in nature, believed to add “life” and energy back to the water. She and Ed both report feeling better hydration from structured water (less persistent thirst). All of her animals receive this filtered/structured water. [0:17:26] Egg Production, Breeds, and Why Yolk Color Matters Kristy keeps multiple chicken breeds: Shell color = breed, not nutrition (white, brown, cream, etc., are just different breeds). Example: White Leghorn → white eggs, Rhode Island Red → darker brown eggs. Key nutritional indicator: yolk color She aims for deep orange yolks. Pale yellow yolks signal lower nutrient density, especially protein and nutrient intake from the chickens' diet. Production basics: Most hens lay about 5–6 eggs per week, especially in their first 3 years. Ed and Clint estimate she's getting hundreds of eggs per week in total. Kristy's flock policy: She has a “no-kill” policy for older hens, keeping them for tick and bug control and the social flock structure. Acknowledges some people cull flocks after 2–3 years, but she tends to keep productive, healthy hens past 4 years. [0:19:37] Industrial Eggs vs. Pasture-Raised: Animal Welfare and Nutrition Ed contrasts Kristy's setup with CAFO operations (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations): Chickens crowded in small cages, poor conditions, bad feed. Notes such operations often use antibiotics—partly for disease, but also because they fatten animals. Kristy's holistic management: No antibiotics; uses natural anti-parasite and immune support: Pumpkin seeds for worms Homegrown herbs like oregano and rosemary She builds a strong “terrain” (internal environment) in the animals so they resist disease better. Discussion that what chickens eat (seed oils, moldy grains, etc. in industrial systems) ultimately affects the nutritional quality of the eggs humans eat. Nutritional highlights of eggs: Choline in yolks (brain and cognitive health). A “perfect protein” with high biological value and broad micronutrients. Eggs historically rank at the top for turning dietary protein into muscle due to a complete amino acid profile. Cholesterol discussion: Ed challenges the blanket fear of cholesterol: Cholesterol supports hormone production and brain function. Notes that the real risk markers are advanced lipoproteins like ApoB and Lp(a), not total cholesterol alone. Personal example: Ed eats 12–18 eggs per week. & his cholesterol is extremely low by clinical standards. Conclusion: Quality eggs are encouraged, especially from pasture-based systems like Kristy's, or higher-quality options in stores. [0:23:15] “Organic” vs. “Pasture-Raised” and Misleading Egg Labels “Organic eggs”: fed organic feed but may still be confined indoors with no outdoor access. “Pasture-raised”: hens are outdoors on pasture, doing natural chicken behaviors; often superior in welfare and nutrition. Both agree: If forced to choose, pasture-raised is preferable to organic-only. They call out labels bragging about “vegetarian-fed” hens as misleading: Chickens are not natural vegetarians; they're omnivores that eat bugs. Forcing a vegetarian diet moves them away from their natural food and may reduce egg quality. Kristy shares a quirky but natural behavior: Chickens love scrambled eggs as a treat. She feeds them scrambled eggs and crushed shells. Rationale: Eggshells are rich in calcium, which hens need to build strong new shells. She simply cracks and throws shells; no elaborate processing.. [0:27:25] Refrigeration vs. Room-Temperature Egg Storage Kristy's explanation: Freshly laid eggs have a “bloom” or natural protective coating that makes them shelf-stable if not washed. Unwashed farm eggs can sit at room temperature for ~6 weeks or more. Store-bought eggs are washed and must be refrigerated, because washing removes that protective coating. You cannot safely leave standard grocery-store eggs on the counter. Ed highlights this as another example of nature's built-in protective design. [0:32:28] Deprescribing and “De-Supplementing” with Dr. Curt Dearing Ed reintroduces Dr. Curt Dearing to expand on a prior show about deprescribing (reducing excessive medications). Common scenario Curt sees: People on many prescription meds plus a large number of supplements, overwhelmed and confused. They want to simplify, optimize, and know what really matters. Curt's consult approach: Review all meds and all supplements, then: Remove what isn't necessary. Emphasize foundational lifestyle and core supplements. They warn about a false sense of security: Some people think “I'm taking a pill, so I don't have to change my habits.” This applies to both pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. [0:36:00] The Core Four, Lifestyle First, and Limits of Medication-Only Approaches Ed references his “Core Four” foundational supplements (detailed in a free ebook on The Holistic Navigator): Designed as tier 1 essentials vs. lower-tier “nice-to-have” supplements. Curt's stance: Diet and exercise are the primary pillars. Supplements should support, not replace, healthy habits. Example: People on metformin or berberine may keep eating poorly yet feel “covered” because their blood sugar numbers look better. This is managing symptoms, not addressing root causes. [37:15] “Beyond Cholesterol” and Advanced Heart Risk Testing Curt mentions his upcoming ebook “Beyond Cholesterol” (targeting Amazon release): Argues standard lipid panels (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL) are not enough. Advocates for advanced tests like ApoB, Lp(a), and coronary calcium scores. Example case: A patient with LDL of 212 on atorvastatin. Curt notes that LDL alone can be “dangerous or harmless” depending on the underlying particle types and inflammation. Coronary Calcium Score: Patient's score is 0, which is reassuring but not a free pass. Calcium score detects calcified plaque, not soft plaque, and doesn't capture inflammation. Curt emphasizes HS-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) as a marker of systemic inflammation, which drives soft plaque formation. [0:40:22] Medications in the Case Study: Statin, Nexium, Amlodipine, Zoloft Curt walks through a specific patient on multiple meds: Atorvastatin (statin) Curt questions its necessity given: Calcium score of 0 Lipid values that don't look catastrophic Recommends advanced lipid testing and provides patients with evidence-based reasons to discuss with their provider if they want to stop. Nexium (PPI) Discusses risks of long-term proton pump inhibitor use: Impaired absorption of magnesium, calcium, micronutrients Possible cognitive, kidney, and bone issues. Insists on a taper, not cold turkey, due to rebound reflux. Amlodipine (blood pressure med) Often can be tapered fairly quickly, especially when: Lifestyle changes are implemented (diet, exercise). Magnesium intake is optimized (many people take too little magnesium). Curt's view: conventional medicine often drives blood pressure too low in older adults; some elevation is physiologically adaptive. Zoloft (SSRI) Must be tapered, like most psychiatric meds, to avoid withdrawal and symptom flare. [0:46:10] Magnesium, Omega-3s, and Simplifying the Supplement Stack Curt reviews the patient's supplement list and simplifies: Multivitamin: Advocates a high-quality multi (not basic synthetics like Centrum). Prefers one that already includes CoQ10 (e.g., 100 mg), so separate CoQ10 can be discontinued. Vitamin D: Should be taken with vitamin K to direct calcium into bone and away from arteries and organs. Omega-3s: Many people take half the necessary dose. Recommends triglyceride-form omega-3s like DHA Extra (~960 mg DHA) for inflammation and blood pressure. Magnesium: Suggests glycinate or taurate forms for better absorption and blood pressure benefits. Probiotics: Curt suggests taking breaks (e.g., a month off) and rotating brands/strains, including spore-based types. Seasonal products: The patient takes quercetin + stinging nettle for allergies. Curt recommends seasonal use only for seasonal allergies, saving money and reducing pill fatigue. For lipids and blood sugar, Curt favors BerberCol (berberine + bergamot) to: Improve numbers (to satisfy doctors). More meaningfully affect ApoB and related risk markers. Weight & energy: Patient had been using weight-loss products. Curt shifts focus to fixing sleep and overall lifestyle rather than stacking more “fat burners.” Saffron: He distinguishes between saffron extracts for mood vs. saffron for weight management—formulation details matter. [0:54:57] Closing: Funding for Alternative Health and Supplement Tax Benefits Ed shares policy/legislative updates: Alternative health funding preserved in the federal budget. Initial fear that support would be cut; instead, it was kept in the proposed budget. The Dietary Supplement Access Act proposal: Would classify dietary supplements as a qualified medical expense in the IRS code. Allow individuals to claim up to $500/year (and $250 for married filing separately) for supplements. Could apply to common products like multivitamins, vitamin D, etc. if/when finalized.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – June 14, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics for living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Digestive Enzymes, Gut Health, and Omega-3's with Guest Brenda Watson [0:00:00] Show Intro,  National Club Foot Day & Prior Episode Reference Ed mentions National Club Foot Day (previous Wednesday). References a prior Vital Health Radio episode where he strongly criticized a local Chattanooga physician for poor club foot care that nearly harmed his grandson. Ed urges: Anyone with a child/grandchild with club foot seeing providers in Chattanooga  listen to our Feb 15th (2026) episode Contact: NutritionWorld@comcast.net to get details of that show and the physician referenced. Emphasis on truth, empowerment, and avoiding harm from medical “inefficiency and ignorance.” [0:03:58] Delta-8 Gummies, Anxiety/Sleep & Lifespan Extension Concepts Recap of a recent show with Hemp House. Ed explains: Only about three weeks left to legally purchase Delta-8 gummies at Hemp House or Nutrition World. Why someone might use Delta-8: Anxiety Trouble sleeping Need to stay functional but calmer Must find the right dose individually (no standard dosing). Safer than many anti-anxiety drugs when used properly. He is saving several containers in his freezer for future “bumps in the road” (periods of poor sleep or high stress). Notes dogs may benefit for anxiety, thunder phobia, pain, etc., when used correctly and from a trusted company. Ed recommends Dr. David Sinclair's “Lifespan” podcast: Focus on practical drugs, supplements, and lifestyle strategies to extend lifespan. Central concept: cellular repair – if we repaired cells at 50 as well as at 20, lifespan could drastically increase. Key tools Dr. Sinclair highlights (as relayed by Ed): Rapamycin – Ed takes this drug himself; impacts mTOR; can extend lifespan even when started later in life. AMPK activators – sold at Nutrition World; support clearing out old/dysfunctional cells. Resveratrol – mimics some effects of fasting. Hyperbaric oxygen – discussed as a potential lifespan extender. Ed shares Sinclair's animal-longevity illustrations: A mole rat living ~20x longer than regular rats → proves there are mechanisms of extended lifespan. A long-lived whale (Clint jokes and riffs on the name) said to reach ~200 years, suggesting humans might mimic similar mechanisms. [0:08:46] Call for Listener Stories & Introduction of Guest Brenda Watson Ed invites listeners to share personal health recovery stories, especially involving “the Green Pharmacy” (natural, nutritional, and lifestyle approaches, including Nutrition World support). Announced collaboration with Clint Powell on a new podcast: Short, credible motivational/educational stories (5–20 minutes). Focus: “I was in bad shape, now I'm much better” recovery narratives. Participants receive a $50 Nutrition World gift card. Recordings at a studio ~5 minutes from Nutrition World. Introduction of guest Brenda Watson, founder of Vital Planet. Described as a guru of gut health and the microbiome: Leaky gut, SIBO, broad digestive health expertise. Ed recalls her long-running NPR fund-raiser specials on gut health that reached tens of thousands. [0:13:25] Digestive Enzymes, Gut Health & Problems with Acid Blockers Topic: What is an enzyme? Why does it matter? Brenda's explanation: Enzymes “break things apart”: Protease → breaks proteins into amino acids. Amylase → breaks starches into glucose. Lipase → breaks fats into fatty acids. Ideally, stomach, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder work together to digest food into absorbable units. Early digestive symptoms: Heartburn, gas, bloating, etc. Many people self-treat with OTC antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and this often worsens underlying issues. Her main point: For early digestive symptoms, start with a full-spectrum digestive enzyme (protease, amylase, lipase) with meals, not acid-blocking drugs. As we age, natural digestion weakens, compounded by poor food quality. If food is not properly digested: It rots in the gut → gas, overgrowth of “bad bugs”. Contributes to SIBO, leaky gut, and broader dysbiosis. Leads to poor absorption of nutrients and worsening health. Enzymes as Step One: Should be a first-line intervention alongside or even before probiotics. Emphasizes that digestive enzymes for digestion must be taken with meals. Brenda notes she ran a stool test program with 12 people; often saw imbalanced gut bacteria driven by undigested food. Modern enzyme formulations can be more targeted: Gluten-support enzymes. General high-potency formulas. Formulas for dairy and fat, especially for people on keto who need extra fat-digesting support. She reiterates: Poor digestion = bad bacteria, leaky gut, SIBO, multiple gut issues. Digestive enzymes are a “no-brainer” first step when digestive symptoms appear. [0:23:47] Enzymes as a Foundational Strategy & Aging, Pancreas/Bile Physiology Emphasizes: Rotting food analogy: leftover food in a trash can on a 97°F day = what undigested food can be like inside the gut. Even without symptoms, after age ~40–45, enzymes may be wise especially for people who: Overeat Eat a lot of dairy or gluten Notes loose stools and general poor health can be caused by lack of pancreatic enzymes. Shares a case where a client's stool test showed zero pancreatic enzyme production, correlating with constant sickness. You can “get away with” some other health issues, but you cannot have a dysfunctional digestive tract and still expect even average health. Brenda further explains physiology and pH: Stomach should be very acidic (pH ~2) during digestion. When partly digested food moves into the small intestine: Bicarbonate is released to neutralize acid. Pancreas releases enzymes (protease, amylase, lipase). Liver/gallbladder release bile for fat digestion near the same region. If stomach acid is suppressed, the chain reaction is disrupted: Poor enzyme activation. Poor bile function. pH shifts can foster candida and other imbalances (e.g., colon getting too alkaline). She underscores: From mouth to colon, each region needs appropriate pH. Chronic use of acid blockers has long-term downstream consequences. Ed mentions a simple at-home baking soda test to roughly gauge stomach acid (baking soda in water between meals, watching for burping). Important caution: If you're on acid-blocking medications, you must wean off slowly; do not stop abruptly. Nutrition World's pharmacist, Dr. Curt Dearing, helps people step down from PPIs and H2 blockers safely (in partnership with their physicians). [0:30:58] Omega-3s , Purity, and Heart/Brain Health Ed highlights Vital Omega (Vital Planet): #1 selling product at Nutrition World. Exceptional purity and transparency (heavy emphasis on contaminant-free sourcing). Very high potency (2350 mg of EPA/DHA per serving). No “fish burp” complaints and virtually no returns. Contains lipase enzyme to support fat digestion and further reduce digestive discomfort. Omega blood tests on customers show high omega-3 levels when using this brand. Brenda agrees: Omega-3s are critical at any age, especially in today's toxic environment. You might skip a multivitamin, but you should not skip omega-3s. Ed's additional points: Olive oil and flax oil are not the same as concentrated EPA/DHA. EPA/DHA are essential for cell membranes, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. Warns of contaminated fish oil from polluted waters (mercury, heavy metals, etc.). Website plug for Vital Planet: VitalPlanet.com for education, and product details. Ed reiterates his respect for Brenda's decades of ethical, passionate work and says they'll have her back on again.   [0:38:54] Lifestyle, Local Food, Pillows, and Environmental Toxins Ed and Clint return; Ed summarizes the show's philosophy: Better aging is about strength, clarity, mobility, energy, not just added years. Introduces term “peak span”, maximizing the years we're at peak function, not just lifespan. Critiques normalization of poor health (hunched posture, chronic pain, poor sleep, anxiety) as “just getting old.” Local food talk: Discussion of Tallow House in Cleveland (burger restaurant, cousin of Tony from Portofino). Two-hour waits, excellent reviews, smash burgers, buns from Neidlovs bakery. Dust mites and pillows: Ed cites data that about 1/3 of a pillow can be dead skin + dust mites over time. Many pillows also contain fire retardant chemicals leading to chronic exposure while sleeping. Ed searched for non-toxic pillows via Mamavation: A site that tests products for chemical residues and rates them. His previous pillow (from Avocado) came out top-rated, so he bought a new Avocado pillow. Recommends buying via Mammovation's affiliate link for a small discount. [0:44:00] Essential Oils, Green Pharmacy & Polypharmacy Ed on essential oils quality: A test of 20 lavender oils from Amazon found: Only 3 were pure. 17 were diluted/contaminated with other oils. Smell alone isn't a reliable indicator of quality. Nutrition World only carries brands with Certificates of Analysis; dropped an entire line a few years back over quality concerns. Ed shares a Taiwanese blood pressure study: 58 adults with high blood pressure, many on meds. wore a face mask with a cotton pad containing small amounts of real lavender oil for 15 minutes/day over 7 days. Result: systolic blood pressure reduced by ~10 points. A placebo (fake) oil did not reduce blood pressure. One-day use showed no benefit – consistent use was required. He frames this as an example of the “Green Pharmacy”: Mentions Dr. Curt Dearing (pharmacist at Nutrition World): Helps people review and rationalize medication lists, with the goal of reducing polypharmacy in collaboration with prescribing doctors. References a recent Vital Health Radio episode on polypharmacy (average American takes ~17 prescriptions per year). [0:56:48] Meditation, Mindset, Ancient Wisdom & Fulfillment Story from the Daily Stoic: Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller at a billionaire's party: Vonnegut points out the host made more money yesterday than Heller's Catch-22 ever did. Heller replies he has something the billionaire never will: “the knowledge that I've got enough.” Ed uses this to emphasize: The power of knowing you have enough. Shifting from chasing money to working for fulfillment once basics are covered. Clint adds: You must learn to be content with what you have while still pursuing goals. More stuff doesn't automatically create a content person. Ed reads a longer reflection on “ancient wisdom” vs. modern medicine: Fundamental philosophy: alignment with nature. Humans thrived for millennia without pharmaceuticals (acknowledges infectious disease issues before hygiene and antibiotics). Nearly every drug has unintended consequences and rarely treats root causes. Cites estimate: medical errors as the 3rd leading cause of death in the US (~250,000 deaths/year). Notes ~90% of American calories now come from processed foods and seed oils Argues seed oils are among the most destructive components of the modern diet. Many cardiologists still recommend them as heart-healthy, highlighting the conflict between mainstream and holistic views. Plug for Ed's book: “Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired” available at TheHolisticNavigator.com, built around ancient wisdom.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – June 7, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Dr. Curt Deering will discuss polypharmacy and deprescribing. Ed's recent appearances on multiple TV outlets (Fox Phoenix & LA, Be Well NY, CBS Detroit). Discussion of testing the AquaTru water filtration system at home as a potential recommendation (microplastics, partial fluoride removal). Mention that peptides are a growing topic; reference to Noel Lawson as go‑to for prescribed peptides [0:10:42]  Tennessee Hemp Bill & Hemp Industry Impact Introduces guest: Dwayne Madden, owner of Hemp House, as a respected local expert. As of July 1 in Tennessee: All Delta‑8 products will no longer be available for in‑state sale. Many THCA products and all vape products will be gone from shops. CBD and Delta‑9 edibles will have caps: Max 15 mg per serving. Max 300 mg per package. Dwayne notes: Heavy users (e.g., serious pain/conditions) will need to consume many servings to reach effective doses. Law doesn't limit how many packages a person can buy, so total milligrams aren't truly stopped—just made inconvenient. Dwayne explains regulatory control moved: From Tennessee Department of Agriculture (2017–2023) To the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Commission) Board. Key impacts: All products must now go through distributors, similar to alcohol. Distributors collect taxes and sit between producers and retailers. Small operators like Dwayne cannot qualify for distributor licenses , so he must pay a distributor to move product from his own lab to his own stores. Ed frames this as “follow the money trail” and a way to crush competition. In Tennessee after July 1: No in‑state online hemp sales. Banned products (Delta‑8, etc.) not criminalized for possession or use, only for sale. Potential Workaround: Consumers can order from out‑of‑state websites (e.g., North Carolina), receive products in Tennessee Money leaves the local economy, hurting Tennessee businesses. Ed and Dwayne suggest alcohol industry is likely threatened because many people are reducing alcohol use by using hemp products instead  Dwayne notes: Alcohol sales have declined while hemp sales rose. Regulators appear to be protecting alcohol interests via hemp restrictions. [0:17:41] Federal Regulations & State Opt‑Outs Upcoming federal regulations in November: Expected to be similarly “ugly and nasty” for hemp nationwide. States will have an option to opt out of these federal hemp rules. Tennessee's stance: Governor has stated Tennessee will NOT opt out, so federal restrictions will apply here. Other states (e.g., North Carolina) might opt out, keeping their markets more open. Industry response: Advocacy groups Tennessee Growers Coalition and Hemp Law Group monitor legislation and organize pushback. Some supportive legislators exist, but political drive to reverse current law is limited. Dwayne and Ed distinguish: Reasonable regulation (ID checks, lab tests, dosage clarity, education) vs. A “wipeout/control/takeover” by shifting to ABC and forcing distributor reliance. Dwayne: Says credible local shops (Hemp House, Chattanooga peers like BeeGrity, Snapdragon, etc.) already follow high standards. States this law is not about safety but about control and revenue capture, and will hurt small farmers and businesses. [0:25:55] What Consumers Should Do Before Deadline Practical advice: Stock up now on products that will disappear: Delta‑8 gummies (popular for sleep, anxiety, pain). Other higher‑milligram THC/CBD edibles. Flower and vapes. Hemp House is running clearance sales to move remaining inventory. Dosing notes: Many people do well with ½ Delta‑8 gummy for sleep/anxiety/pain. Some need more or less; staff helps tailor doses for goals. Hemp House will close its North Shore/Tremont Street flagship store by July 1 due to expected sales hit. Remaining Hemp House locations: Ringgold Road (East Ridge) near Spring Creek. Ooltewah by Food City on Lee Highway. Hixson Pike near Workout Anytime and Publix. Broader impact: Other Chattanooga hemp businesses have large staffs (some near 100 employees) and will be heavily affected. The industry is described as grassroots, farmer‑driven, and passionately quality‑focused. [0:33:20] Polypharmacy & Deprescribing with Dr. Curt Dearing Ed introduces Dr. Curt Dearing, clinical pharmacist at Nutrition World (30+ years experience). Curt's background: Formerly fully conventional pharmacist; later “veil lifted” as he discovered green pharmacy (nutritional & botanical alternatives). Current mission: Community outreach to medical schools and residency programs Teach about nutritional and natural alternatives not covered in standard curriculums. Traditional training provides almost zero meaningful nutrition or green pharmacy education. Polypharmacy: use of 5 or more prescription medications. Curt notes: Majority of Americans 65+ meet this definition. Average American receives ~17 prescriptions per year (not all concurrent). Consequences: Increased ER visits due to drug side effects. Estimated ~250,000 deaths/year from drug‑induced causes. Curt's role: Specializes in deprescribing: safely reducing or eliminating unnecessary pharmaceuticals and replacing them with effective natural options when possible.  How Curt Works with Patients & Their Doctors Curt provides coaching, not independent prescribing. Creates detailed packets (10–18+ pages) explaining: Why certain drugs may no longer be needed. Evidence for natural alternatives (e.g., supplements, lifestyle changes). Encourages clients to take the packet to their doctor and have an informed discussion. Patients often fear how their doctors will react to attempts to deprescribe. Green Pharmacy Approach (as described by Dr. Curt Dearing) Using nutritional, botanical, and lifestyle-based therapies either instead of or alongside pharmaceuticals. Focusing on root causes and supporting the body's own healing mechanisms, not just pushing lab numbers in a certain direction. Why polypharmacy is a problem: Increases side effects, drug–drug interactions, and emergency room visits. Contributes to cognitive decline, gut problems, and overall worse health. Often leads to the “prescribing cascade”: Drug A causes side effects → a new drug is added for those side effects → more side effects → more drugs, and so on. How Dr. Curt Dearing uses green pharmacy to reduce polypharmacy: Curt creates a comprehensive list of all medications and supplements. Asks: “Why was this started?” and “Is it still needed?” Looks for: Drugs with no clear current indication. Drugs where a natural option can give similar or better benefit with fewer risks. Drugs that can be safely tapered or sometimes stopped outright (always in coordination with the prescriber). Identifies which meds are likely causing the most harm or least benefit. Some drugs require slow, structured tapering (e.g., sleep meds, acid blockers). Others may be candidates for direct discontinuation after medical agreement. Replacing or supporting with natural alternatives ( please note this is not medical advice, this is a discussion of personal examples in collaboration with medical oversight) Cholesterol: Instead of (or in place of some) statin use, Curt uses berberine and bergamot (Berbercol). In Ed's brother's case, his cholesterol numbers improved on green-pharmacy options, matching or exceeding statin outcomes without the same side‑effect burden. Pain & inflammation: Uses curcumin (for most people), and Boswellia when curcumin isn't enough. Gut/acid issues: Long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole) is flagged as harmful to gut microbiome and nutrient absorption. Curt builds step-down plans (tapering PPIs) while supporting the gut with natural measures instead of leaving people on a PPI for 30 years. Focus on side benefits, not side effects. Green pharmacy interventions are chosen because they: Address root causes (e.g., metabolic health, inflammation, gut integrity). Often have multiple positive effects (e.g., berberine helping blood sugar and lipids; curcumin helping joints and systemic inflammation). The aim is fewer total drugs, fewer side effects, better overall function. Clients are encouraged to work with their doctor, so deprescribing is: Planned, Monitored, and Integrated with their existing care. Curt and Ed both acknowledge there are situations where “rescue medicine” is necessary: Severe pain where an opioid is appropriate. Acute crises where drugs are needed as a bandage. The green pharmacy view: Use those drugs as short‑term tools, Then remove or reduce them once the immediate crisis passes, While implementing natural strategies to decrease the need for long‑term prescriptions. [0:56:26] Final Segment  At‑home HPV testing for cervical cancer Ed explains HPV is a major driver of cervical cancer Historically, women had to schedule an in‑office visit for cervical screening, which creates barriers (cost, fear, time, discomfort, lack of insurance). He notes there is now an option for at‑home HPV testing for cervical screening. Intended to increase access for women who aren't getting regular screening. Ed strongly approves of this as a valuable preventive tool and encourages women who haven't been tested to consider it. Ed cites new data showing: Microplastics are found in 100% of human stool samples tested in one study. Higher levels of microplastics are now being linked to gallstones. Broader concerns: Everyday plastic exposure (especially with food and drink) means these particles can: Interact with cells, Drive inflammation, Contribute to premature cellular aging and reduced energy. Practical countermeasures he recommends: Avoid heating food in plastic or placing hot food into plastic containers/wrap (e.g., Saran wrap, plastic take‑out containers). Filter drinking water to remove microplastics (he's trialing the AquaTru system at home, which he says removes 100% of microplastics and much of the fluoride). Improve indoor air quality to reduce airborne microplastic exposure. Ed highlights a serious, long‑term job opening at Nutrition World: Not a summer or short‑term job. Best for someone philosophically aligned with healthy eating and the “green pharmacy” approach. Interested candidates should: Go into the store and speak with Scott, Elisha, or Matt and complete an application.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – May 31, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to healthy living Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Peptides, LifeWave Patches, Spore Based Probiotics, and the Microbiome  [00:00:00] Intro & Health News Ed notes Target will remove artificial colors from all cereals within two months. Promotion of Chattanooga Fitness / Bodybuilding event on July 11 featuring bodybuilding legend Lee Haney; Ed training for his 4th year of competition at nearly age 69. Ed introduces a new olive oil at Nutrition World: Firma Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Tanzania). Comparison with Life Extension olive oil: Tested very high in anti-inflammatory polyphenols. New Tanzanian oil is about $10 cheaper while comparable in health benefits. Reminder of chronic inflammation as a root of many diseases. [00:04:00] Peptides, Educational Resources & Holistic Navigator Mention of peptide expert Noel Lawson, recently on the show. Brief explanation: peptides as specific amino acid chains that can influence healing, sexual function, fat loss, sleep, etc. Ed promotes his ebooks at TheHolisticNavigator.com, including: Immune system (prevention + “what to do when you feel sick now”). Oxalates and joint/muscle pain & stiffness. Sleep, oral hygiene, and how to use AI for health/fitness and weight loss. Clint mentions a large back catalog of podcasts on topics like leaky gut, bone health, pet health, brain fog, etc. [00:06:13] Segment Transition to LifeWave Patches Ed previews two guests for the day: Myra from LifeWave patches. Mary from Just Thrive (spore-based probiotics). [00:13:10] LifeWave Light-Activated Patches – Concept & Mechanism (Myra) Ed introduces Myra from LifeWave Key concepts explained: Patches are non-transdermal (no drugs/nutrients enter the body). They reflect the body's own low-level infrared light back into the body. Inside the patch is a proprietary lattice of amino acids, salts, sugars, and water. This reflected light is tuned (patented wavelengths) to elevate certain peptides or affect specific systems. Elevates GHK-Cu (copper peptide), which is associated with “master cells” (stem-cell–like function) that can contribute to repair of various tissues. LifeWave has about 10 different patches, including: X39: flagship patch for overall regeneration, wound healing, energy, mental clarity, sleep. X49: supports performance, recovery, and bone density Placement & wear-time: Common points: back of neck at C7 or below the navel, often aligned with acupuncture points used in studies. For pain, you can place patches directly around the painful area (e.g., Myra using several patches around a sore knee). Typical protocol: 12 hours on, 12 hours off to avoid attenuation (body getting “used to” constant stimulation). Hydration and electrolytes (e.g., Celtic sea salt) recommended to support electrical signaling. Duration to notice effects: Most people notice differences within 30–90 days. General rule of thumb: 1 month of consistent use for every decade of age (e.g., ~5–6 months at age 50–60). [00:29:37] LifeWave Events, Website & Research Myra: LifeWave patches are intended to help bring the body back toward homeostasis, with the body doing the actual work. Ed notes there is published research on the patches (not just anecdote). Upcoming in-person event: LifeWave info session at Nutrition World Wellness Corner, June 27th , 10:00 am Resources: Website: WhyTheLight.com Myra's contact: 423-362-7227 for questions. [00:34:37] Just Thrive Probiotics (Mary) Introduces Mary from Just Thrive, a highly vetted brand at Nutrition World. Introduces key concept: spore-based probiotics, which behave differently than standard probiotics. Spore-based probiotics: bacteria with a natural protective shell (spore coat). This shell allows them to survive stomach acid and pH changes through the GI tract. Most conventional probiotics are fragile and often do not survive to the intestines, even with enteric coatings. Just Thrive's spore-based strains show 100% survivability to the intestines in clinical testing—everything on the label reaches the gut. High-level explanation of how Just Thrive works: If harmful or overgrown species are present, spores “sit next to” them and produce compounds to push them down. If beneficial species are low, spores produce “superfood-like” compounds to feed and boost them. Balancer of the microbiome, rather than just adding random strains. Leaky gut linkage: An imbalanced microbiome is a key root cause of leaky gut. Glyphosate (Roundup) acts like an antibiotic in the microbiome, driving dysbiosis and leaky gut. Antibiotics & repopulation: One antibiotic round can wipe out ~90% of gut bacteria. Without support, it can take 1 month to 2 years to rebuild from the remaining 10%. A clinical study: 1 capsule/day of Just Thrive led to a 10–100x increase in beneficial bacteria in 28 days, dramatically speeding recovery. Use with colonoscopy preps: Ed suggests starting spores before and continuing after aggressive gut-cleansing procedures to re-establish balance. Sensitivity / die-off: Some users may experience transient discomfort (gas, bloating, die-off). Strategy: start with ¼ to ½ capsule, even every other day, and titrate up to a full capsule as tolerated.   [00:48:12] Immune System, IBS, and “Gut as Central Axis” 70–90% of the immune system is in or around the gut; thus: A balanced microbiome is a foundation for immune health. Just Thrive data suggest benefits for IBS-like symptoms and immune dysfunction Mary uses an analogy: The digestive tract runs down the middle of the body and influences everything—so microbiome balance is a core foundation for overall health. Ed reinforces that you cannot be healthy with chronic leaky gut, and spores occupy a unique role that other probiotic forms cannot fill. Website: JustThriveHealth.com for more information.   [00:55:59] Iron, Coffee/Tea, and Gout Ed shares research summarized by Dr. Michael Greger (NutritionFacts.org) on iron absorption and coffee/tea: A cup of coffee with a hamburger reduced iron absorption by ~39%. Tea reduced iron absorption by ~64%. Taking vitamin C with the meal can counteract the inhibitory effect on iron absorption. Potential therapeutic angle for gout: Some data suggest lowering iron via coffee consumption reduced gout attacks. In one report, gout attacks markedly diminished in every participant, from complete remission to major reduction, with no widespread anemia. Ed recommends: Testing iron and ferritin (e.g., via Be Well Labs / BeginWithLabs.com). Considering strategic use of coffee/tea and vitamin C depending on whether someone's iron is too high or too low.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – May 24, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: All About Peptides, & The Good, Bad & Ugly of GLP-1's [0:00:00]  Ed's Restaurant Story & Healthy Eating Choices Ed's recurring bit: “Where did Ed eat this week?” Long‑time favorite restaurant Epicurean. Discussion of consistent healthy ordering and making good choices at long‑standing, family‑owned restaurants. [0:03:13]  Building a Health “Team” & Ed's Top Learning Resources Tease of today's main topic: peptides with local expert Noel Lawson, NP. Ed stresses “team approach” to aging—no single practitioner has all the answers. Learners vs. non‑learners: why ongoing self‑education is critical for health. Ed's 4 favorite online resources: Mercola.com – more cutting‑edge, sometimes controversial content. DrJockers.com – accessible, visual education on ailments and nutrients. GreenMedInfo.com – indexed medical literature backing natural claims. Nutrition World Instagram – short, practical health “snippets”. Story: Nutrition World wins a surprise $10,000 award from Ancient Nutrition for #1 sales growth in the U.S., tied to belief in product quality. [0:10:38] Introducing Noel Lawson & “What Are Peptides?” Introduction of Noel Lawson, NP (Double Bridges Health & Wellness), now practicing on the Nutrition World campus. Noel's background: Transition from traditional medicine to functional medicine due to patient frustration, worsening chronic illness, and provider burnout. Goal: more prevention and root‑cause care. Orthopedic background led her to peptides. What is a peptide? Peptides are like the body's Morse code—specific chains of amino acids acting as signals. Under ~40 amino acids = peptide; longer chains = protein. Body breaks down dietary protein into amino acids and re‑assembles them into peptides as needed (e.g., for repair). As we age, the body produces fewer peptides, which is why we heal slower and are more prone to injury and inflammation. [0:19:26] Functional Medicine + Peptides: Approach, Expectations & Use Noel's approach: Combines functional medicine with peptides. Peptides only work well if the materials (sleep, nutrients, stress management, movement) are in place. Uses comprehensive labs to optimize baseline health first. Delivery & protocols: ~90% of peptides are injectable (tiny insulin‑type needle, usually daily). Some oral options exist Local injections near the injury area Expectations & timelines First 2–3 weeks: less inflammation, modest improvement in pain, sleep, and energy. 6–8 weeks: improved range of motion and strength. After 3 months: realistic minimum for true tissue change; peptides can't shortcut normal cell‑turnover timelines. [0:21:41] Specific Peptides & Treatment Logistics High‑demand musculoskeletal peptides: BPC‑157 and TB‑500: commonly used for tendons, ligaments, muscle and injury recovery. Growth hormone related peptides: Examples: samorelin, CJC, ipamorelin, tesamorelin. Stimulate the pituitary to release natural human growth hormone (HGH) rather than supplying exogenous HGH. Potential benefits: lean muscle mass, better body composition, cardiometabolic support. Monitored via IGF‑1 levels to avoid excess. PT‑141 for sexual health: Crosses the blood–brain barrier and activates pleasure/desire centers. Can cause nausea in some people; alternative forms (nasal spray, sublingual troche) may reduce side effects. How Noel works with patients: Website: doublebridgeswellness.com Contact form → email → optional free 20‑minute expectations call to see if there's a good fit. 1‑hour new patient visits, not rushed; she practices on the Nutrition World campus. [0:35:01] GLP‑1 Drugs (Ozempic, Trulicity, Mounjaro): Good, Bad & Ugly Case study: 65‑year‑old woman with pre‑existing gastroparesis put on Trulicity. Developed severe vomiting, dehydration, abdominal pain; was initially reassured to “get used to it.” Second dose led to life‑threatening pancreatitis, requiring hospitalization. Later prescribed Mounjaro by same clinic despite this history. The “Good” of GLP‑1s: In Curt's clinic, used selectively for: Poorly controlled diabetes (A1c > 10, average sugars in the 300s). Significant obesity. Can lower blood sugar and drive weight loss, by suppressing appetite The “Bad”: Common GI side effects (up to ~50% of users): Nausea, vomiting, constipation. Worsening gastroparesis (slow gut motility). Rapid weight loss often includes loss of muscle and bone, not just fat—hurts longevity and functional strength. Ozempic face: gaunt facial appearance from aggressive fat/muscle loss. Risk of hypoglycemia Visual issues, including increased macular degeneration risk. Psychiatric concerns: Emerging data on increased suicidal ideation, especially notable because trials excluded psychiatric patients. The “Ugly”: Pancreatitis, gallbladder problems. Thyroid tumors in some models. Possible cardiac atrophy. Massive growth in use: tens of millions prescribed, with many discontinuing within a year due to side effects or cost. Risk that people treat GLP‑1s as a “magic bullet” without nutrition or lifestyle change—and regain ~85% of lost weight after stopping. Curt's conclusion: GLP‑1s should be reserved for specific, high‑risk cases and paired with close coaching. For most people, there are safer, natural options. [0:50:12] “Nature's Ozempic,” Gut Health & Upcoming Events Ed and Curt on supporting GLP‑1 pathways naturally: Berberine – “nature's Ozempic” for blood sugar and metabolic support. Akkermansia (probiotic strain) – gut health, metabolic benefits, GLP‑1 stimulation. Butyrate – short‑chain fatty acid that: Supports gut lining / leaky gut repair. Improves colon health and may help increase GLP‑1. Ed reports best bowel function of his life using 2 caps/day. People who start GLP‑1s often increase supplement use, but tend to stop supplements when the drug stops. Coaching is needed so they maintain nutrition and supplementation after GLP‑1 discontinuation. Practical tips & announcements: Colonoscopies: clear protein drinks are now typically allowed on prep day—can help preserve muscle and stabilize blood sugar. Upcoming Lunch & Learn (online): Topic: “The Microbiome's Impact on Longevity”. Format: Instagram Live (@NutritionWorld), Tuesday, May 5 at 12:15 PM. Upcoming in‑person lecture at Nutrition World campus: Topic: “Taming the Yeast: Candida‑Reducing Strategies”. Thursday, May 21 at 5:30 PM. Registration via nutritionw.com → Events. Closing: Ed and Clint wrap up, reiterating their mission of clear, actionable health guidance and noting the show will be out on major podcast platforms.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy lifestyle Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Show Summary & Time Stamps: Title: Peak Span Living: A2 Milk, Oxalates, and AI-Optimized Health [0:00:00] Intro, and Today's Agenda Ed previews today's focus: A1 vs. A2 milk Ed's “Where did Ed eat this week in Chattanooga?” food rundown. [0:02:43] “Where Did Ed Eat?” – Restaurant Choices & Macro Strategy Ed's restaurant decision “trifecta”: Macros & food quality (close to the earth, protein and fats quality). Type of fat (prefers healthy fats; brings his own olive oil). Carbs ≤ 60 grams per meal when possible. Stops & comments: Maple Street Biscuit Company – Impressed overall; chooses a bowl (eggs, bacon, avocado, tomato, feta) instead of biscuits to keep carbs lower. Doc Holiday (Hixson) – Tallow-cooked foods, excellent broccoli, “biker bar” vibe but friendly. Miller's Ale House – Fresh salad with olive oil only; hamburger steak (no gravy) with mushrooms/onions; occasional baked potato post–workout for carbs. Acropolis – Long-time favorite; good quality foods. Only criticism: no real butter for steak (avoids margarine). Portofino – Typically orders shish kebabs (high protein, low carb), with broccoli and salad; brings own olive oil.  Harry's at Hamilton Place – Custom “Lexatonian” salad, light dressing, double ground beef = high protein, moderate carbs, low fat (adds olive oil). Transition: Ed mentions hiring PR expert Amy Summers (NYC) to push Nutrition World and The Holistic Navigator onto national TV. [0:08:36] New Ebooks & Key Health Themes Ed outlines his growing ebook library (free at theholisticnavigator.com/resources): Sleep: Strategies for improving restorative sleep. “Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?”  Food choices Nutrients Ed's personal ~68 pills/day longevity stack (not a recommendation, but max-longevity model). Immune System: Maintenance + what to do “when under the weather.” Oxalates:How certain “healthy” foods (oxalates) can destroy joints and drive pain. Core Four: If you only take four supplements, which foundational ones matter most from Ed's 47 years of observation. (Coming) Using AI to massively optimize health & fitness – Ed uses AI multiple times a day to optimize training, eating, supplements, and protein for his upcoming Chattanooga Fitness bodybuilding contest (11 weeks out). Quick side notes: Iodine nasal spray – New formulation he and Clint like: less burn, better value, used 2–3x/day. Reminder about Best of the Best local voting, including Nutrition World and podcast nominations. [0:15:38] Fruits/Veg & Lung Cancer Article, Glyphosate, and “Health Halo” Effect Topic: Article headline – more fruits and vegetables linked to higher lung cancer risk (under age 50). Ed's three-part interpretation: Glyphosate (Roundup) exposure: More produce = more glyphosate, unless it's clean. References Dr. Zach Bush's work on glyphosate and chronic disease. Suggests Fire Hawk herbicide (sold at Nutrition World) as a glyphosate-free yard option (dehydrates plants rather than poisoning). Fear as a toxin – Long-term fear can crush health, even when intentions are to “eat healthy.” Health halo compensation effect: Study reviewed by Dr. Greger (nutritionfacts.org): Adding healthy foods to fast-food menus led people to eat more unhealthy items: “If I eat the salad/broccoli, I can have double fries + dessert.” Psychological “armor” effect from one healthy choice leading to more indulgence. [0:19:38] Supplements, Safety Fears, Herbs & Tryptophan Case Discussion of fear-driven headlines around herbs and liver toxicity: Example: a Chinese herb flagged for liver issues; deeper read shows cases involved people also on multiple drugs. Comfrey is the one herb Ed agrees shouldn't have been sold widely due to genuine liver toxicity (Nutrition World doesn't sell it). Tryptophan contamination incident (25–30 years ago): One bad overseas batch contaminated in production (likely bacterial issue). Resulted in deaths, but: Problem was manufacturing contamination, not tryptophan itself. Takeaway: Quality and clean manufacturing are crucial. Long-standing, widely used herbs/supplements would have more robust safety signals by now if they were truly dangerous. [0:21:41] Toilet Paper Chemicals & “Real” Brand Recommendation Ed cites testing from Mamavation on toxic chemicals in toilet paper: Concern: endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that can be absorbed through sensitive, moist tissue. Ed's preferred brand at Nutrition World: Reel: 3-ply, No inks, dyes, BPA and made from bamboo. “Lower-chemical” grocery-store options from the Mamavation testing: Angel Soft 230+ Cottonelle Mega Ultra Kirkland Bath Tissue (Costco) Trader Joe's toilet paper Quilted Northern Ultra Plush Clint's push: Rather than memorize brands and chemistry, just shop where you trust the vetting (e.g., Nutrition World). [0:25:03] A1 vs. A2 Milk, Lactose Intolerance & Ancient Nutrition A2 Study discussed (Chinese adults, n=600): Compared: Conventional milk (contains A1 beta-casein) vs A2-only milk (contains A2 beta-casein). Key findings: Reduced GI symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, etc.) with A2 milk. Benefits observed across different age groups, both lactose absorbers and malabsorbers. Implications: Many who believe they're lactose intolerant may actually be reacting to A1 casein, not lactose. A2 milk/protein could allow some to tolerate dairy better. Practical angle: Ed personally drinks Ancient Nutrition A2 protein and tolerates it very well. Clint notes some standard protein drinks upset his digestion. [0:27:11] Autism, EMFs, and Mitigation Tools Framing: Autism as a systems issue, not a single-disease point. Cites Dr. Martha Herbert's perspective: Autism may develop from environmental irritants that excite the brain: Toxins (e.g., mercury, glyphosate) Allergens EMFs (electromagnetic fields) Vaccine adjuvants/excipients, etc. EMFs & mitigation: Ed acknowledges we can't avoid EMFs (phones, Wi-Fi, 5G), but we can reduce exposure. Tools Ed uses: SafeSleeve phone case: Claims ~90% EMF reduction; Ed's own measurements suggest ~60%. Effective when phone is close to the body. Blue Shield EMF devices: Plugs in, emits “healthy EMF” fields that may reduce impact of other EMFs. Ed uses a ~$500 model in his bedroom. Mentions BlueShield.com, discount code “nutworld”. [0:30:40] Paternal Exercise & Offspring Fitness (MicroRNA Study) Citing work discussed by Peter Attia: Paternal exercise before conception can improve offspring endurance capacity. Mechanism: changes in sperm microRNA profiles. Mouse model: Transferring RNA from fit to unfit mice improved fitness traits in offspring. Ed's takeaway: Yet another compelling reason for men to exercise before having children. Wonders if his own daughter benefited from his lifelong fitness. [0:35:37] Peak Span, Aging, Sleep, Mouth Tape & Oxalate Pain Ed defines “Peak Span” as: The period of life where we maintain near-optimal health, vitality, and energy (like our 20s). Notes U.S. spends $5.1 trillion on healthcare (18% of GDP) yet ranks 35/36 among high-income countries in outcomes. Mistakes shortening peak span: Poor diet (inflammatory foods, bad fats, high carbs). Confusion around what “healthy eating” means. Underestimating small daily habits. Sleep: 25% of Americans have diagnosable insomnia, ~50% have occasional insomnia 1st big issue: loss of sleep rhythm: Irregular bedtimes fragment circadian patterns. Recommends going to bed within 1 hour of the same time most nights. Single high-impact change: stop mouth breathing at night. Ed has used mouth tape for ~25 years. Benefits: less anxiety, better restorative sleep (cites James Nestor's “Breath”). Uses an Oura Ring and sees notable improvements with mouth taping. Pain & Oxalates: Ed's history: 25 years of rotating pains; then severe hip pain leading to bilateral hip replacement. Suspects long-term high oxalate diet as a major contributor. High-oxalate foods he over-consumed: Spinach Beets Almonds & almond butter Raspberries and other known high-oxalate foods. Source: Sally Norton's “Toxic Superfoods”. Elimination approach: No perfect test; best method is removing high-oxalate foods and observing. Often, pain temporarily worsens in 2–4 weeks as oxalates mobilize, then improves. Result: Now, near age 69, Ed reports zero pain after hip replacements + oxalate restriction. [0:44:14] Using AI as a Health & Fitness Coach Ed uses AI (specifically ChatGPT) as a: Training coach for his bodybuilding prep (11 weeks out). Nutrition advisor and accountability partner. Inputs: Goals and timeline. Age, weight, health status. Photos of himself. Photos of every meal (taken at a 45° angle). AI provides: Calorie and macro estimates (calories often “spot on”). Advice: “Too much / too little,” adjust protein/fat/carbs. Day-to-day training and nutrition refinements. Role vs. human coaching: Doesn't replace human experts; can complement them. Ed still believes in a “team” approach (quality practitioners + AI). [0:46:00] Where to Find Ed's Content & Resources Ed's main platforms: TikTok: “Nutrition World Tennessee” – many short-form health and performance clips (especially athletics). Website: nutritionw.com – hub for: Store Articles, videos, education. The Holistic Navigator (theholisticnavigator.com): Home for his ebooks (sleep, immune, oxalates, core four, AI & health, etc.). Long-form educational content. Podcasts / Radio: Vital Health Radio – full archive at vitalhealthradio.com and all major podcast apps. Other shows hosted or shared via noogapodcasts.com (Clint's platform). [0:52:21] Melatonin, Sleep, Cold Therapy, and Upcoming Peptide Episode Melatonin: Notes that ~99% of melatonin on the market is synthetic. Issues some people experience with synthetic forms: Vivid dreams & Inconsistent sleep quality. Recommends Symphony brand: Plant-derived melatonin, not synthesized. Immune aspects: Mentions integrative cancer doctors using high-dose melatonin in protocols. References Dr. Michael Smith discussing high-dose melatonin in COVID on The Holistic Navigator. Cold therapy & gout: Dr. Greger review: cold-water immersion for gout: 20 minutes/day in cold water for a few weeks: ↓ pain, stress, anxiety, depression. ↑ joint mobility, activity, quality of life. For general muscle pain, cold immersion: Only helps during immersion; no lasting benefit. Heat is more beneficial for ongoing muscle pain after the acute phase. Exception: first ~24 hours post-injury when cold can curb acute inflammation (classic RICE). Peptides & future content: Mentions RFK Jr. and the possibility of peptide injections reaching shelves with regulatory shifts.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Show Summary & Time Stamps: Title: Saffron as “Nature's SSRI”, GLP-1 Side Effect Mitigation, Holistic Oral Health, & More [0:00:00] – Show Intro [0:01:44] – Ed's Fitness Goal & Using AI Ed's 4:00 a.m. gym routine and training structure. Goal: 14 weeks out from Chattanooga fitness/bodybuilding contest (men's classic over 50/55). Uses AI as a “thinking partner”: Uploads body and meal photos daily. Gets macro/meal feedback and accountability in ~7–8 minutes/day. Reports better progress in 3 weeks with AI than all of last year's prep. [0:05:08] – GLP‑1 / Weight‑Loss Drugs & Protein Strategy Conversation with Be Well Labs about GLP‑1/ozempic‑type drugs: ~1 in 8 people currently on weight‑loss meds; pill form may push toward 1 in 2. Concerns: long‑term side effects, muscle loss, “hijacking” normal physiology. Ed's mitigation tips for those on GLP‑1s: Aim for ~1 g protein per pound of body weight. Most will need two protein shakes/day plus weight training. [0:06:47] – Butyric Acid, Hydrogen Water & Sleep Gains Ed's last 3 weeks: More energy, best sleep/Oura Ring scores he's ever had (scores from ~71 → ~82). Two main changes: Butyric acid (from butter/fiber fermentation): 2 capsules in the morning. Supports gut lining, may have GLP‑1‑like effects. Hydrogen water: Uses a hydrogen bottle and tablets; must drink quickly after dissolving. Hypothesis: combination is improving gut health, inflammation, and overall well‑being. [0:10:18] – Dollar General “Stranded” Series New mini‑series concept: “What would Ed Jones do if stranded in a rural town and only had Dollar General for meals?” Finds ~12 foods (out of ~2000) he'd eat regularly. Message: even in limited environments (Dollar General, fast food), you can still find better choices. Content to appear on Instagram, Facebook, (possibly YouTube). [0:15:58] – Tallow, French Fries & Processed Carbs Rib & Loin (local BBQ restaurant) reportedly using beef tallow. Ed on fats: Prefers tallow (stable saturated fat) over seed/vegetable oils. Critiques decades of low‑fat dogma and resulting high‑carb intake and heart disease. Notes potato farmers discarding crops: Impact of GLP‑1 drugs on restaurant demand. Growing awareness of harm from processed carbs. Hydrogen‑rich “healing” waters story (German mine, Mexico, Japan) → dissolved molecular hydrogen theme. [0:22:17] – Oral Health, Tooth Powder & Mouth Microbiome Ed's dental routine: cleanings every 3 months. References his oral health e‑book (searchable via NutritionW.com). Product mention: Echo Dent Daily Care Tooth Powder: Chosen because it does not annihilate mouth bacteria. Key idea: chronic use of strong mouthwashes (even “natural” ones) may: Damage oral microbiome. Be linked to higher Alzheimer's risk via “bad” oral bacteria. Occasional disinfecting is fine (e.g., sore throat), but avoid twice‑daily “scorched earth” approach. [0:26:33] – Niacinamide, Glioblastoma & High Iron Study highlight: High‑dose niacin/niacinamide (B3) may support immune activity and short‑term outcomes in glioblastoma. Niacinamide boosts NAD (cellular energy/anti‑aging cofactor). Already used by dermatologists to help lower skin‑cancer risk. High iron / ferritin: Ferritin >100: likely inflammation or iron overload. Ferritin >200: pathological; associated with shorter lifespan. Action step: Test iron/ferritin (e.g., at Be Well Labs / beginwithlabs.com). If high, consider regular blood donation to lower iron. [0:34:42] – SSRIs & Antidepressants with Dr. Kurt Deering Guest: Dr. Curt Dearing, clinical pharmacist (30+ years). SSRIs discussed: Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, Zoloft. Effectiveness vs placebo: Placebo response in depression is high (~40%+). SSRIs only modestly better than placebo in many trials. Typical course: Weeks 1–2: patients often feel worse. Weeks 3–4: back to baseline. Weeks 4–6: if helpful, benefits show here. [0:40:44] – SSRI Side Effects, Withdrawal & Risks Common side effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, headaches. Sleep disturbance (insomnia or excessive sleepiness). Anxiety, jitteriness, tremors, dry mouth. Long‑term issues: Sexual dysfunction (very common). Weight changes (often weight gain). Withdrawal (if stopped abruptly): Anxiety, dizziness, flu‑like symptoms, insomnia. “Brain zaps” – electric‑shock sensations that strongly discourage abrupt stopping. Boxed warning: Increased suicidal thoughts/behaviors, especially 18–24‑year‑olds. [0:48:03] – Natural & Lifestyle Alternatives (Green Pharmacy) Strong caveat: never stop/taper SSRIs without coordinating with the prescribing clinician. Nutrient foundations: Vitamin D adequacy for mood and depression. Low‑dose lithium (as a micronutrient, e.g., lithium orotate): Supports brain health, reduces inflammation, may aid depression/anxiety/cognitive health. Omega‑3s, especially EPA, for mood support. Herbs & natural options: St. John's Wort, ashwagandha, saffron. Lifestyle interventions: Exercise (research shows it can match or beat standard depression care). Sunlight, sleep quality, mindfulness/prayer, overall holistic changes. Team approach: Add trainers, nutritionists, holistic practitioners alongside psychiatrists/MDs. [0:50:52] – Saffron as “Nature's SSRI” Clinical evidence: Meta‑analyses: saffron ≈ SSRIs in effect for mild–moderate depression. Faster onset (often 1–2 weeks). Side‑benefits: Heart health, anti‑inflammatory, lipid‑lowering. Cognitive support (including in Alzheimer's studies). PMS symptom relief. Eye health (age‑related macular degeneration support, intraocular pressure). Better sleep (duration and quality). Weight management (reduced appetite, body weight, waist circumference). Improved libido and sexual satisfaction (opposite of many SSRIs). [0:56:44] – Offers, Products & Closing WishGarden immune products: Immune boost for pregnancy. Kids' immune support formula (often mixed with honey for taste). Free bottle for the first 10 in‑store visitors mentioning the show (time‑limited). NoogaPodcasts.com: Clint promotes his local podcast network (crime, politics, adventure, health, faith, veterans, etc.). Fireside Herbicide: Plant‑desiccating herbicide that dehydrates weeds instead of poisoning soil. Less harmful to earthworms and soil life vs glyphosate products. Sign‑off: Radio airing on Sundays, podcast version (“Vital Health Radio”) drops Tuesdays. Thanks to listeners and mention of Nutrition World as primary sponsor.
