When Samuel Shepherd was diagnosed with a rare terminal blood cancer, doctors told him there was no treatment, no cure, and possibly very little time left. For many people, that would have been the end of the story. For Samuel, it became the beginning of an obsession. A physicist, engineer and inventor with decades of experience across biochemistry, environmental science and high-level government projects, Samuel turned all of his knowledge towards one goal: staying alive. What followed was years of relentless research, experimentation and a refusal to accept inevitability. This conversation is different from most episodes of Mid-Life Men. It's part survival story, part deep dive into inflammation, disease and the science behind Samuel's discovery of a naturally occurring molecule called 'astaxanthin' – and why he believes it changed everything for him. But beneath the science is something more human: what happens psychologically when you're told your life may be ending how fear can completely change shape why purpose matters when everything familiar falls away and what relentless determination really looks like in practice Whether you agree with Samuel's conclusions or not, this is a fascinating conversation about resilience, mortality, curiosity and refusing to give up when the odds look impossible.If you want to find independent research on astaxanthin, go to the National Institute of Health website or the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Was, wenn einer der stärksten Schutzstoffe der Natur nicht aus dem Labor kommt, sondern aus einer winzigen Alge? In dieser Folge beleuchtet Cordelia Astaxanthin – den Farbstoff, der nicht nur zahlreiche Obst- und Gemüsesorten rosa färbt, sondern auch Lachse, Garnelen und Flamingos und in der Forschung als außergewöhnlich starkes Antioxidans gilt. Durch zahlreiche Studien ist gesichert: Astaxanthin ist in der Natur ein essenzieller Schutzfaktor gegen Umweltstress. Die Frage ist: Was kann der Stoff in deinem Körper?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Maria: Hello. I have terrible joint pain in my hands. Some days are worse than others. I am a 50 year old female and was wondering if you can suggest a supplement and maybe foods to stay away from.      Bea: Hi Doc, Thanks so much for everything that you do. I have been wondering about dosage on the back of supplement labels. I am a 5'3 115 pound woman. Do I take the recommended amount on the back or less? For example, I take proteolytic enzymes. Should I take 2 as instructed on the back or just 1? thank you!!      Skip: Hello Dr C, thanks for all you do! I keep hearing this tick season is going to be really bad. I know you generally say to strengthen the immune system with Lyme. I'm wondering what specifics you have for preventing/ repelling ticks (with humans and dogs) and for someone who has Lyme- how can they get to the root cause in addition to supporting the immune system?      Karla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to first thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and research with us. It has truly been invaluable to me and my family. I wanted to ask about a recent supplement I heard about on my local radio. It's called Astaxanthin. They claimed it would help with skin, vision, energy and many other things. I searched your previous podcasts and didn't see anything about it, so I was hoping you could comment on whether it's worth adding to my current supplement regimen. Thanks in advance!      Louise: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have been attempting to do the CBO Protocol for about 3 weeks now, but have had to pause multiple times because I experienced pretty intense die off symptoms. The most troubling one is restless leg syndrome. I believe it is related to the inflammation caused by the die off. It is so severe that I can only do half the dose a day, and I still get pretty bad RLS. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make it through the protocol with this problem? Would asking for temporary RLS medication be a bad idea? Is there anything natural I can take? I have tried megaigg2000 to bind the LPS, and now high dose curcumin to help the inflammation levels but I don't know what else I can do. Thank you for your time and input!    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3747 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Astaxanthin is showing up everywhere, from eye health supplements to skin and brain formulas, but most people still can't answer the basics: what is it, where does it come from, and what does the research actually suggest it can do. We walk through why seniors are at higher risk for macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and dry eye, then connect those real-world concerns to the bigger drivers behind aging and vision loss: oxidative stress and inflammation.We explain astaxanthin as a marine carotenoid made primarily by microalgae and found in seafood like salmon, trout, shrimp, lobster, and krill. Then we dig into why it stands out in the antioxidant conversation, including comparisons to familiar nutrients and how it supports the body's antioxidant defenses. We also talk about its photoprotective angle for UV-related oxidative damage and why that matters for skin health, including moisture and barrier support.For vision, we focus on practical use cases like computer eye strain and visual fatigue, plus the deeper eye disease topics that matter most with aging. We connect astaxanthin's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to macular degeneration, discuss abnormal blood vessel growth linked to wet macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, and cover the neuroprotection frame for glaucoma and optic nerve health. We also touch on brain health, including research on memory outcomes and typical supplement ranges mentioned in studies, and we wrap with food sources versus microalgae-based supplements.If you want clear, evidence-informed natural eye care guidance you can actually use, listen now, then subscribe, share this with someone who spends all day on screens, and leave us a review.For more information, visit naturaleyecare.com and doctorgrossman2020.comOur email address is info@naturaleyecare.comIf you have any questions, call us 845-475-4158

This week, we talked about Ron’s unfortunate situation with a bowel blockage, what causes it and how to manage it. When it’s very acute, it involves an overnight stay in the hospital. To prevent it, it involves some diet alteration. I also offered some turmeric, which is a great anti-inflammatory. We hope it doesn’t happen again! […]

​​Hallo und herzlich willkommen bei 50 über 50, dem Podcast für die zweite Lebenshälfte und gesundes Älterwerden. Es gibt diesen einen Satz, den viele von uns kennen: Du musst dich entscheiden. Für einen Weg. Für eine Richtung. Für eine Version von dir. Meine heutige Gästin stellt genau das infrage. Birgit Amelung ist Gründerin von Her Klub und Autorin des Buches „Der Multifokus-Effekt“. Darin beschreibt sie eine andere Art, auf unser Leben zu schauen – nicht als etwas, das wir klar fokussieren und reduzieren müssen, sondern als etwas, das gleichzeitig wachsen, sich verändern und auch widersprüchlich sein darf. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Fokus ursprünglich gar kein Leistungsbegriff war, weshalb so viele Menschen heute unter einem diffusen Dauerstress stehen – und was passiert, wenn wir aufhören, uns ständig entscheiden zu wollen. Es geht um Werte, um Lebensphasen, um Kreativität und um die Frage, wie wir in einer Welt voller Ablenkung überhaupt noch bei uns bleiben können. Und vielleicht auch darum, ob wir unser Leben nicht neu denken dürfen – weniger entweder-oder, mehr und. Ich freue mich sehr, dass sie heute hier ist: Birgit Amelung.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health, is described as the “godfather of functional medicine.” He details the origins of functional medicine as a systems-biology, root-cause approach emphasizing diet, lifestyle, and supplements alongside conventional allopathic care, especially for chronic disease. Bland contrasts medication “number needed to treat” examples (statins and TNF-alpha blockers) with personalized lifestyle interventions, noting adherence challenges. He discusses GLP-1 weight-loss drugs as a major pharmacologic advance but raises concerns about long-term effects, discontinuation rates, side effects, and inadequate nutrition if food intake drops. Bland describes research on bitter compounds and gut “taste” receptors influencing GLP-1 and related hormones, links to Blue Zone diets, and introduces Big Bold Health's Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and minimally processed, sustainably sourced fish oil products, the Omega-3 index, and targeted formulations with lutein/astaxanthin, plus ongoing clinical trials on immune aging and gene expression.

Did you know that the molecule behind the pink color of salmon and the red of flamingos is also one of the most potent antioxidants ever studied?  It has 4,000 peer reviewed papers behind it. Based on studies, it extended lifespan by 12% in the most rigorous government funded study ever conducted. But almost nobody has heard of it. Astaxanthin is not a trend or a buzzword but a potent natural antioxidant waiting to be discovered by many. It is a marine-derived substance that is thousands of times more potent than vitamin C, crosses the blood brain barrier, and does what no other antioxidant on the market can.  Dave Watumull has been working with astaxanthin since high school, watching microalgae turn bright red in the Hawaiian sun as a defense mechanism against UV light. He has spent 25 years figuring out how to bring it to the rest of us. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Dave breaks down why your supplement stack is missing the one foundational ingredient that makes everything else work better and why it stayed hidden for so long. The most powerful antioxidant in the world was never hidden. It just never had a celebrity behind it.  Let's dive in! What's Discussed: (1:43) The marine super nutrient most people have never heard of. (4:04) How microalgae in Hawaii sparked 25 years of research. (5:46) Why something this powerful stayed under the radar. (8:14) What makes it thousands of times stronger than vitamin C. (13:18) The supplement mistake most people are silently making. (20:54) The cheapest beauty hack nobody is talking about. (26:16) The Harvard study that proved no other antioxidant compares. (41:39) NR, resveratrol, green tea, omega-3s on extending lifespan.  (42:06) Why most longevity supplements are mostly nonsense. (46:35) Why AX3® absorbs three times more than leading competitors. (1:02:42) Dave's father late 70s case study, tennis in the Hawaiian sun, still going. (1:17:24) What astaxanthin cannot do and the boring truth about longevity. Thank you to our sponsors!

A compound discovered in algae might be one of the most overlooked tools for longevity.I've spent years trying to build resilience in a world where avoiding stressors isn't realistic. This conversation sharpened my thinking about astaxanthin's benefits and what's actually happening inside the body.Dave Watumull has spent nearly three decades studying this compound, from early work in Hawaii to leading AX3 Life. His focus has been on understanding how a molecule produced by microalgae under extreme UV stress translates into oxidative stress support for humans.We break down how this works at the cellular level, including how free radicals form and why they're unavoidable. The real shift is learning how to interrupt that damage before it spreads.This episode is for anyone interested in longevity, daily energy, and building resilience in a high-stress modern environment.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:19] The science behind astaxanthin as nature's internal sunscreen[13:10] Building internal resilience against EMF when physical shielding isn't enough[25:12] Why algae ponds were abandoned and how AX3 achieves 3x greater absorption[40:53] The NIH study that put astaxanthin in the same conversation as rapamycin for longevity[49:57] How astaxanthin anchors inside cell membranes to stop lipid oxidation before it spreads[01:01:45] The blessing and curse of a molecule that works on nearly every organ in the body[01:12:09] Finding your astaxanthin dose, from baseline to therapeutic[01:16:52] Astaxanthin for joints, dogs, and the real reason farmed salmon are pinkVisit ax3.life/luke and use code LUKE for 20% off your first orderRelated The Life Stylist Episodes:The Truth About Seed Oils, Cellular Detox & Mold Recovery | PodcastAwesome Algae!

​​Hallo und herzlich willkommen bei 50 über 50, dem Podcast für die zweite Lebenshälfte und gesundes Älterwerden. Es gibt Gespräche, die nachwirken. Die etwas in uns berühren, das wir vielleicht schon lange spüren – aber selten so klar hören. Heute ist so ein Gespräch. Ich spreche mit Sarah Desai – Coachin für persönliche und spirituelle Weiterentwicklung, Spiegel-Bestsellerautorin und Podcasterin. Und dieses Gespräch hat mich auf eine besondere Weise berührt. Weil es ehrlich ist. Weil es tief geht. Und weil es uns einlädt, uns selbst aufrichtig zu begegnen. Wir sprechen über innere Veränderungen. Über das, was sich zeigt, wenn wir nicht mehr ausweichen. Über Klarheit, über Loslassen – und über eine neue Form von Freiheit. Eine Freiheit, die nicht bedeutet, dass alles leichter wird – sondern echter. Vielleicht findest du dich in manchen Gedanken wieder. Vielleicht hörst du etwas, das dich innehalten lässt. Ich wünsche dir, dass dich dieses Gespräch genauso berührt wie mich. Schön, dass du da bist.

After years of traditional management with no real solution, he took matters into his own hands—leveraging his background in chemistry and access to advanced research tools to search for answers.His breakthrough came from a simple but powerful question: “What living things don't get cancer?”After researching species like salmon, flamingos, sharks, elephants, and naked mole rats, he identified a common compound among them—astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant derived from algae.He began experimenting on himself, initially consuming algae-derived astaxanthin in small doses. Over time, he observed measurable improvements in his condition—eventually eliminating the need for ongoing blood treatments.We break down the science in a way that makes sense for everyday listeners:Aging & disease are heavily linked to free radical damageThese free radicals contribute to inflammation, DNA damage, and chronic diseaseAs we age (around 40–50), our natural antioxidant production declinesSamuel explains that astaxanthin works differently than typical antioxidants:It targets multiple free radicals at onceIt operates at the mitochondrial level (your body's energy center)It may help reduce the root causes of inflammation rather than just symptomsHe also introduces his concept of attacking disease at the “trunk of the tree” (root cause), rather than treating individual symptoms at the “branches.”A key part of Samuel's work is improving how astaxanthin is absorbed:Standard supplements often isolate the compoundHe discovered that keeping it bound to a glucose molecule improves absorptionThis “Trojan horse” concept may help deliver it more effectively into cellsFrom my perspective as a coach for people over 40, we connect this to real-world application:This isn't a replacement for fundamentals like:NutritionStrength trainingSleepStress managementBut it may be a powerful addition to a longevity-focused supplement stackWe also compare it to other tools like:GlutathioneFastingAnti-inflammatory nutritionIf you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Welcome back to Embody Radio! Today's episode is one of those "nerdy girl deep dives" that I've been so excited to share with you. I sat down with David Watumull, a researcher and formulator who has spent over two decades in the astaxanthin space, starting all the way back in the algae ponds of Kona, Hawaii as a high schooler, and working his way through pharmaceutical-grade research and development.   If you've never heard of astaxanthin, or if you've heard of it but kind of wrote it off as "just another antioxidant," this episode is going to change that for you. We get into the weeds on what makes astaxanthin structurally different from other antioxidants (spoiler: it actually spans the entire cell membrane like a bridge, while things like vitamin C just sit on the outside), how it fights free radicals without becoming a pro-oxidant itself, and why it matters for literally everyone, not just people who are "old enough to worry about aging."   We cover a LOT of ground in this one: What oxidative stress actually is (explained like you're five) and why modern life accelerates it How astaxanthin works upstream of inflammation like a thermostat, not an on/off switch The connection between oxidative stress and brain fog, mood, sleep, joint pain, and skin health Why your 3pm energy crash might be a bigger red flag than you think How astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier and promotes neuroplasticity and BDNF production The NIH Interventions Testing Program results Astaxanthin's role as "internal sunscreen." What that means and what it doesn't Why it pairs so well with omega-3s, creatine, and other longevity supplements Dosing guidance David's personal story from the algae ponds to pharmaceutical research to launching AX3   I've been personally taking astaxanthin for about a month now, and I'm noticing calmer mental energy, better recovery from training, and significantly improved REM and deep sleep. This one is backed by over 4,000 peer-reviewed papers and 100+ human clinical trials, so we're not just vibing here, there's real science.   If you want to try AX3 for yourself, use code EMBODY at ax3.life for a 20% discount.

Antioxidants, hydration, and leafy greens play a powerful role in preventing cataracts, dry eye, and oxidative damage. #VisionNutrition #EyeSupplements #HydrationHealth #HealthTalks

In this episode of The Performance Medicine Show, Dr. Rogers answers YOUR health and wellness questions!

In today's episode, Aaron explores the intricacies of aging, stress, and longevity alongside special guest David Watumull, CEO of AX3 Life and dedicated expert in the world of nutrition and health science. Together, they break down how chronic stress, diet, exercise, and even our emotional state play a critical role in either accelerating or slowing the aging process. David shares fascinating insights about astaxanthin (a powerhouse antioxidant sourced from nature) and its remarkable potential to extend lifespan, improve overall health, and combat the effects of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. ========== OUR GUEST ========== Dave Watumull is on a mission to bring astaxanthin to the world. This marine super nutrient supports whole body health and longevity and has captured his imagination for more than 25 years of research, development, and commercialization. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of AX3 Life, a consumer health company dedicated to astaxanthin products, education, and community. He is also the COO of Cardax, a life sciences business focused on pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications of astaxanthin. ============== DAVID WATAMULL ==============

In this episode, David Watumull breaks down the science behind astaxanthin — a powerful carotenoid antioxidant backed by over 4,000 peer-reviewed papers and 100+ human clinical trials — and explains why it may be one of the most underappreciated longevity compounds available today. The conversation explores how astaxanthin anchors across cellular membranes to protect mitochondria from oxidative stress, reduce chronic inflammation ("inflammaging"), support cardiovascular health by lowering oxidized LDL and CRP, and cross the blood-brain barrier to enhance cognitive function and neuroprotection. They also discuss its role in energy production, endurance performance, healthy aging, and a landmark NIH lifespan study showing a 12% extension in mammals.

Heart disease develops quietly over years as blood vessels lose resilience under oxidative and inflammatory stress, long before symptoms appear Astaxanthin supports heart health by protecting cell membranes and blood vessels from damage at the cellular level, rather than targeting surface-level markers alone Research shows astaxanthin helps maintain flexible blood vessels, steady blood flow, and healthier heart tissue during periods of high stress or reduced oxygen The benefits of astaxanthin depend on using natural sources and having it present before and during cardiovascular strain, not after damage has already occurred Reducing oxidative stress through diet, improving sleep timing, and supporting natural vitamin D production all reinforce the same vascular repair pathways astaxanthin supports

Today, I have the honor of connecting with Dave Watumull, the Co-founder and CEO of AX3 Life, a consumer health company dedicated to astraxanthin products, education, and community. Dave is on a mission to introduce the world to astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is a marine-derived super-nutrient that supports whole-body health and longevity, a pursuit that has inspired Dave for over 25 years of research, development, and commercialization. In our discussion, Dave explains what astraxanthin is, its functions, and its key properties. We explore specific studies where astraxanthin has been particularly beneficial for lipids, particularly oxidized LDL. We discuss the impact of nutrition and examine the results of astraxanthin research on sarcopenia, cognition, and joints, liver, skin, and eye health. We also cover the dose-dependent effects of astraxanthin, and Dave answers a series of rapid-fire questions. Astaxanthin is truly a supplement worth considering. I'll be taking it to see if it helps reduce my Lp(a). My husband and one of my children also have high Lp(a), so we will all try it as a family experiment, and I will share the results. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Astaxanthin's origins and mechanisms The ideal dosing range for starting astaxanthin, and how the benefits appear even at lower doses What a dose-dependent effect actually means The importance of fundamentals like consistent sleep, a balanced, nutrient-dense diet, and daily physical activity How astaxanthin forms a protective antioxidant network The value of astaxanthin for supporting brain and ocular health How astaxanthin reduces inflammation without suppressing immunity The importance of taking astaxanthin with a meal to maximize absorption Why AX3 Astaxanthin surpasses other astaxanthin supplements Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

What if inflammation—not genetics, not aging, not bad luck—was the common thread behind most chronic disease?In this expansive and thought-provoking conversation, physicist, inventor, and engineer Samuel Shepherd shares his extraordinary personal journey after being diagnosed with a rare, terminal bone marrow cancer in 2003. Given no viable medical options, Sam turned to decades of scientific expertise to investigate inflammation, free radicals, and cellular breakdown—ultimately leading him to study astaxanthin, one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature.We explore the science of oxidative stress, PD-L1 immune signaling, cellular transport, and why conventional antioxidant delivery often fails. Sam explains how he developed a patented glycosidic form of astaxanthin designed to improve absorption and target inflammation more effectively—and how this work reshaped not only his health, but his entire understanding of disease, aging, and resilience.This episode also dives into:Why inflammation may be the root driver of many chronic and neurodegenerative conditionsThe role of free radicals in cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and metabolic diseaseHow modern diets—especially fructose exposure—impact inflammation over timeWhat HS-CRP can reveal about long-term health riskWhy curiosity, self-trust, and asking better questions matter more than blind complianceThis is not medical advice. It is an invitation into inquiry, responsibility, and deeper self-education—especially for those who sense that healing requires more than symptom management.If you're someone who values science, autonomy, and understanding your body rather than outsourcing it, this conversation will expand how you think about health, inflammation, and what's truly possible.Connect with Samuel: Website: https://valasta.net/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ValAsta Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ValastaHome Connect with Kelly:⁠⁠⁠drkellykessler.com⁠⁠⁠Free Guide: Sacred Boundaries: ⁠⁠⁠http://drkellykessler.com/sacredboundaries⁠⁠Self-Respect Reset is a guided, body-based experience for women who struggle to set boundaries—not because they don't know what they need, but because it hasn't felt safe to honor it.Inside, you'll learn how to rebuild inner safety, strengthen self-trust, and create boundaries that actually protect your peace—without guilt, over-explaining, or self-abandonment.

Send us a textDr. Brandon Crawford is joined by Samuel Shepherd, a former Department of Defense biochemical engineer who used his expertise in weapons development to reverse-engineer a cure for his own "incurable" bone cancer. They deep-dive into the science of oxidative stress, the hierarchy of antioxidants, and the specific molecule that allows animals like naked mole rats and sharks to resist cancer and aging.Samuel recounts his 2003 diagnosis of polycythemia vera, where his blood pressure reached levels that "pegged" medical monitors at 300 mmHg. After years of grueling phlebotomies, Sam used a screening algorithm to find a commonality among cancer-resistant species. That common thread was Astaxanthin. However, he didn't just find a supplement; he discovered a way to modify the molecule into a glucosidic form that bypasses the body's digestive barriers to target disease at the atomic level.Key TakeawaysThe Root of All Evil: 92% of inflammatory disease deaths are driven by the hydroxyl free radical. By neutralizing this specific ROS, you address the cause of disease (the trunk) rather than just the symptoms.Molecular Saponification: By using a glucosidic "Trojan Horse" delivery, astaxanthin enters cancer cells and converts acidic free radicals into alkaline ions, dissolving the cancer cell membrane in seconds.The Antioxidant Cliff: Natural cellular protection (Glutathione, SOD) fails significantly after age 42 W or 50 M, making external supplementation essential for longevity.Beyond Brain Barriers: Unlike many antioxidants, this specialized form of astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier, allowing it to neutralize neurotoxins linked to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.ResourcesUse code CRAWFORD at checkout on Valasta.net for a discount on your order.Valasta.net (testimonials, NIH research papers, dosing information)NIH Research Database (search: "NIH + astaxanthin + [disease]")ProQuest Government Research DatabaseLife Extension (publishes astaxanthin research papers)Dr. Fred Bisci (mentioned as colleague)HSCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) testing for inflammation markersHematococcus Pluvialis (algae source of astaxanthin)Products 528 Innovations Lasers NeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Stimpod STEMREGEN® Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Astaxanthin (Asta-zan-than) is a powerful compound found on a humble algae that has been scientifically proven to treat cancer, reverse Parkinson's symptoms (and stop its progression), and reverse all chronic inflammatory diseases. Samuel Shepherd, a biochemical engineer who was faced with the diagnosis of an untreatable cancer, decided death was not going to take him just yet and used every tool at his disposal to become cancer-free. Now his research can help you with your chronic illness, whether it's autoimmune, mold, histamine, leaky gut, heavy metal toxicity, heart disease, dementia, or cancer.  He shares with us in a truly easy to understand form the biochemical reason we develop disease and how astaxanthin treats the root cause.

Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsWe follow Sam Shepard's journey from a terminal bone marrow cancer diagnosis to the creation of a life saving formulation born from observing animals that rarely develop cancer. The conversation blends hard biochemistry, personal resolve, and a call to rethink inflammation as the common link behind many chronic diseases.Sam reflects back on the dark moment where he relinquished control to a higher power, and instantly received a message that would ultimately direct him toward a healing solution. Using his varied educational background, including a Master's degree in both biochemical and environmental engineering, Sam was able to determine the process by which certain species are able to evade cancer. He then created his own "backyard lab" and formulated a treatment that is now called "Valasta" (a potent form of Astaxanthin found in algae). We dive into a variety of inflammatory diseases that can be addressed with Valasta, and the testing that can be done to monitor your progress. If this information has been helpful to you or you think it would benefit someone you know, please like and share.You can find Samuel Shepherd at:Website - https://valasta.net/  Please Follow and Review this podcast if you would like to support the growth of this show.

Sam Shepard, a physicist and prolific inventor, joins the show to share his extraordinary personal journey of facing a rare and aggressive bone blood cancer diagnosis. Motivated by a desire to find answers where conventional medicine offered little hope, Sam recounts how his scientific curiosity and research skills led him to explore natural solutions, ultimately resulting in unexpected remission and inspiring him to advocate for integrative approaches to cancer treatmentSam Shepard recounts his career in physics and innovative projects—such as developing energy solutions for NASA's lunar missions and advancing battery technology for drones—showcasing his engineering mindset and passion for solving complex problems. He discusses the formidable challenges of interplanetary radiation exposure and how his curiosity led to broader research on disease and technology, ultimately interweaving his professional and personal lives as these pursuits became deeply relevant to his health.A sudden diagnosis of polycythemia vera—a rare and terminal bone blood cancer—changes Sam's life trajectory. With no established protocols, a grim prognosis, and exhausting cycles of medical intervention, Sam turns to research, considering whether there might be something in nature that resists cancer. His investigation, powered by access to large scientific databases, lands on five animals rarely afflicted by cancer, with a commonality: a molecule called astaxanthin, sourced from a unique algae species.Sam methodically cultivates the algae, consumes astaxanthin, and documents improvements in his health and bloodwork. Testing higher doses, he observes greater normalization and ultimately achieves what his doctors call a “miraculous remission.” Sharing his discovery, Sam supports family and friends with dire cancer diagnoses using this natural compound—later patented as velasta—and witnesses further dramatic recoveries, including a woman's complete remission from metastatic cancer documented against her medical prognosis.The conversation culminates in broader lessons, as Sam describes national presentations of his findings and ensuing legal battles, signaling the skepticism and systemic resistance faced by natural medicine advocates. Importantly, the episode details the powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of astaxanthin/velasta, how it helps protect cells and the immune system, and why making such knowledge public is sometimes vital for innovators. Dr. Karl concludes by thanking Sam, reinforcing the show's mission of education and hope for those battling cancer—and reminding listeners that integrative science can transform even the bleakest diagnoses.Sam Shepard, a physicist and inventor, shares his journey of overcoming a terminal bone blood cancer using astaxanthin, a natural compound sourced from algae.Inspired by animals rarely affected by cancer, Sam investigates and cultivates astaxanthin, documenting significant improvements and ultimately experiencing remission after increasing his intake.Sam supports other late-stage cancer patients with his discovery, witnessing remarkable recoveries, which leads to a patented supplement called velasta.The episode delves into the molecular science behind astaxanthin's powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in disrupting cancer growth and supporting cellular health.Dr. Karlfeldt and Sam discuss systemic resistance to natural medical approaches, emphasizing hope, education, and integrative science for patients seeking alternatives beyond conventional treatments_____________________Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.
