In this episode of "Talking Shop with Shop Owner," Doug Kaufman interviews Jason Rainey, VP of NAPA AutoCare and NAPA Autotech, about the NAPA Team Tool Rebate program.Rainey explains that the program is designed to help shop owners attract and retain technicians by providing them with the tools they need to do their jobs. The program works by allowing shop owners to earn rebates on their NAPA parts purchases, which they can then use to purchase tools for their technicians. Shop owners simply buy NAPA parts and NAPA handles the rebate process in the backside, distributing funds that shops can reallocate to their team members.This program isn't just about providing tools, Rainey says, but is also about building a strong culture within the shop. "By giving technicians the tools they need, shop owners can show them that they are valued and appreciated. This can lead to increased job satisfaction and reduced turnover. When you're attracting talent, you're saying, 'because we're partners with NAPA, we're able to do this. And so it really is a rising tide raises all ships kind of thing."Rainey also discusses the NAPA Auto Care Apprentice program, which is designed to help young people enter the automotive repair industry. The program provides apprentices with the training and mentorship they need to succeed. He notes that the program has been very successful, with over 2,000 apprentices currently working in NAPA Auto Care member shops. Rainey highlights the program's competency-based approach, stating, "if they haven't mastered a skillset, they can stay there. There's not the end of the marking period. They can stay there until they're able to master that skill."Rainey explains that NAPA is committed to helping shop owners succeed, offering a variety of programs and services designed to help shop owners attract and retain technicians, improve their operations, and grow their businesses.For more information visit NAPAOnline.com.

He was featured in “The Truth about Cancer” and has been on radio shows and podcasts worldwide. Paul works diligently to educate individuals on how to prevent disease and no longer suffer. Paul's greatest joys come from serving others. He is passionate about the prevention of pathologies. He founded Synergy Science, Inc. in 2011 and developed a full line of products focused on detoxification, immune boost, and gut recovery. In this episode, Paul Barattiero reveals the pain to purpose story that led him to discover hydrogen water in the first place. Then, Paul dives deep into hydrogen and how hydrogen water can help us optimize our glucose levels. Hydrogen is a powerful selective antioxidant that neutralizes cytotoxic free radicals, helping eliminate oxidative stress and inflammation. Later, Paul answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners, including how hydrogen water can benefit people with autism, whether or not it's beneficial for our pets, and much more!

His wife had gynecological issues, her menstrual cycle was horrible, and she was highly anemic. A friend told Paul about this water system that could potentially help people. After Paul's wife tried the water, it changed her whole life. Within a few months, her menstrual cycle changed, and she was no longer anemic. [10:55] Things You Need To Know About Hydrogen Hydrogen is number one on the periodic table. It's a gas that should be produced in your gut. Your body is designed to produce hydrogen gas in your gut when you ferment or digest food. Hydrogen will reduce oxidation. Plus, it gives direction to over 200 biomolecules that have been identified in the body. Every system in the human body is regulated by hydrogen [20:55] How Hydrogen Can Play A Role In Helping Us Optimize Our Glucose Levels Giving hydrogen water to individuals with diabetes will get their blood glucose levels back to normal. Your body puts cholesterol in your veins. When we have too much oxidative stress in our body, our veins will become less elastic. Your body will put cholesterol into the veins where the walls are weak. Hydrogen is able to change oxidative stress and inflammation. Check out Hydrogen Studies: https://www.hydrogenstudies.com/ [28:55] Hydrogen And The Human Body: Why It Matters You are supposed to have hydrogen in the human body to begin with. We should be creating 10 to 12 liters of hydrogen gas per day. You were designed to have a hydrogen generator in your gut. When you take in pesticides, then you're combating your gut function. So, you need the water to be with you daily. Chemicals get into our system; they destroy us as human beings. It all starts with our gut. [33:20] Hydrogen: An Option In Human Disease Treatment Oxidative stress and inflammation is the leading cause of disease. As we convert oxygen into fuel, we create oxygen radicals. Well, our antioxidant system is designed to combat that and keep oxidation in a normal range. When your oxidation is rising, you will have what we call oxidation stress. Oxidation is natural, whereas oxidative stress is unnatural. If you want to live a long time, you have to have a healthy gut. [42:55] How Hydrogen Water Can Support People With Autism Because of gut issues, people with autism are not producing ghrelin secretions. Ghrelin secretions happen either in the stomach or the gastrointestinal tract. When the gut is damaged or not functioning, you don't produce ghrelin. The lack of ghrelin will cause sleep issues and brain issues. Hydrogen water can balance the brain within minutes. When hydrogen water hits the stomach, it will signal ghrelin to go to the brain. [52:45] Should You Give Hydrogen Water To Cats and Dogs?  Yes, give your pets hydrogen water. After drinking hydrogen water, animals no longer have kidney and liver issues. Dogs with heart murmurs will live many years longer than expected. Plus, give your dog's meat, not potato chips! Dogs do not eat kibble in the wild. Well, 50% of kibble is sugar and carbs. Pets get cancer simply because of the food that they are eating. [68:30] When Should Hydrogen Water Be Consumed?   Drink the hydrogen water within two to five hours. However, if you fill it in a bottle, you'll have two weeks to drink it. Hydrogen water is better when it's chilled. You will fall in love with water all over again. AND MUCH MORE!

This week on Integrative Cancer Solutions with Dr. Karlfeldt, we're discussing the link between cancer and fungi. Dr. Doug Kaufmann discusses his book, "The Germ That Causes Cancer", which discusses the topic in more detail. He talks about how common fungal infections are, and how they can often be mistaken for other illnesses. He also describes a study in which autopsies were conducted on cancer patients and it was found that many of them had a fungal problem.- Doug Kaufman's journey in helping people understand that there are many facets to cancer, not just one- How the Doug became interested in mycology- How Doug believes that fungus is a root cause of cancer- The importance of antifungal medications and diets in treating patients with various symptoms- How cancer is caused by fungi and how it can be treated with diet and supplements KEY POINTS Approximately mentioned @ 00:01:22Doug Kaufman has been engaged in many public ways to raise awareness about cancer, such as writing books and hosting a TV show. Approximately mentioned @ 00:06:24Kaufmann describes how he discovered the link between fungus and various medical conditions. He also talks about how antifungal medications and diet can help treat these conditions. Approximately mentioned @ 00:11:50The mold penicillium produces the mycotoxin penicillin, which is a known carcinogen. Antibiotics are mycotoxins and can cause cancer. Mycotoxins are prevalent in people who eat fast foods and cereals, don't get very good nutrition, who live in a moldy home and inhale mold all the time, who drink alcohol. Approximately mentioned @ 00:21:57Kaufmann's diet advises against consuming carbohydrates, as they provide nourishment for fungi. However, he has recently changed his stance on this after learning that some mushrooms can actually help heal people with fungal infections. Approximately mentioned @ 00:33:12In essence, cancer is a hybrid of human and fungal cells, created through a process of genetic fusion. This makes it difficult to distinguish between cancer and fungus using traditional methods, but there are some key differences. For example, cancer cells thrive in anoxic environments, while fungi cannot. Additionally, antifungals can be used to annihilate tumor growth. Approximately mentioned @ 00:41:36The Germ That Causes Cancer is a book that discusses the fusion between fungi and human DNA, and how this can alter genetic expression to cause cancer. Follow Doug Kaufmann by hitting a link below:https://knowthecause.com/https://www.facebook.com/doug.kaufmann  Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.
