Why shorter fasts often stop working once insulin resistance is established — and what therapeutic fasting is actually designed to do. Episode #245
Tune in for our conversation with Dr. Stephen Cabral where he breaks down why even health-conscious biohackers can struggle with chronic symptoms, pointing to hidden imbalances that standard approaches often miss. He emphasizes starting with gut and immune health and explains why comprehensive lab testing, especially Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), offers insights that blood work alone can't capture. The conversation explores how stress, electrolyte imbalances, and heavy metal exposure quietly drain resilience, making proper detoxification and mineral balance essential. Dr. Cabral also shares practical guidance on magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and adrenal support, tailoring advice for high performers under constant pressure. We also dive into our personal HTMA results so you can get a front row seat on what a typical HTMA consultation looks like. Throughout the episode, he underscores that optimal health isn't just about supplements and protocols, but also mindset—building “stress calluses” and taking a truly holistic, systems-based approach.Dr. Stephen Cabral is a Board-Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of EquiLife, the global integrative health organization providing at-home lab testing, personalized wellness protocols, and concierge health coaching to over 300,000 clients over the past 25 years.He also founded the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute (IHPI), which has certified over 5,000 practitioners globally, and hosts The Cabral Concept podcast with 3,500+ episodes and 100 million+ downloads.After overcoming a life-threatening illness at 17, Dr. Cabral went on to get his doctoral degree and completed over 2,200 internship hours all over the world including India, Sri Lanka, China, Europe, and the U.S.SHOW NOTES:0:42 Welcome to the podcast!3:13 About Dr. Stephen Cabral4:12 Welcome him to the show!4:48 Why do healthy people get sick?7:48 Addressing gut & immune system first10:36 Starting with HTMA Testing12:21 Electrolytes in hair vs blood work15:12 Validity of HTMA16:05 Overview of our results interpretation18:09 Lauren's HTMA results22:38 Supporting the HPA axis with electrolytes24:33 Magnesium recommendations25:29 Iron, Copper & Zinc31:51 Advice for high performers & high achievers33:44 *CALOCURB*34:56 Lauren's heavy metals41:17 Renee's HTMA results44:32 Creating stress “calluses”50:21 Renee's heavy metals52:50 Finding a Biological Dentist54:47 Where else metals are stored56:42 Adrenal support ingredients57:25 Zinc & Copper balancing1:03:45 Minerals & Metals Test1:05:32 His final piece of advice1:06:50 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Calocurb - discount code: RENEE10Website: www.drstephencabral.comIG: @stephencabralYouTube50% off the Minerals & Metals TestBook: PersonomicsCoaching: sign up for the Personomics waitlist at:Personomics.ioThe Julian Center for Comprehensive DentistryTo find a Biological Dentist: iaomt.orgSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

health check Taking Care of Your Health Before It Forces You To | Episode 585 Good morning. It's 35 degrees, it's cold, and today we're talking about something that doesn't trend on YouTube and doesn't get clicks like “grid down tomorrow” — your health. There's a reason I'm covering this now. A guy I've known since I was about 11 passed away recently. Football teammate. Same schools. Long history. Early word is it may have been a cardiac event. And before we go any further — I am not saying any advice in this episode would have saved him. Sometimes things just happen. But if you're neglecting your health? This is your wake-up call. You're Not “Just Getting Old” I'm 44. And for a while I told myself the fatigue was normal. Weird sleep schedule. Overtime. Overnight shifts. Aches and pains. That's just aging, right? That mindset is a trap. Yes, you shouldn't run to the doctor for every sniffle. I didn't. But you also shouldn't just accept feeling like garbage as your new baseline. If you wake up tired every day. If your joints hurt constantly. If your energy is gone. That's data. Don't ignore it. Trying to Fix It Yourself (And When That Stops Working) If you've listened for a while, you know I've been troubleshooting my own health. Testosterone. Supplements. Methylated vitamins. Higher-dose vitamin D. Peptides. Cutting things out. Adding things in. Tracking symptoms with ChatGPT. Logging fatigue, flare-ups, lab numbers, theories. Some things helped briefly. Some did nothing. Some made things worse. At some point, you have to admit: you're guessing. I finally used telehealth through my terrible insurance and got bloodwork done. Electrolytes, kidney function, autoimmune markers. Most came back fine. Except two didn't. ANA positive.Anti–double stranded DNA positive (low positive). Those markers can point toward autoimmune issues. Possibly lupus. I'm not self-diagnosing. I'm seeing a rheumatologist. But I finally have data instead of guesses. That matters. Don't Wait Until It's Out of Control Here's the prepper lesson. We stock food before we're starving.We store water before we're thirsty.We build first aid kits before we're bleeding. But most people ignore their blood pressure, ignore chronic fatigue, ignore pain, ignore lab work — until it explodes. At minimum: Get bloodwork once a year. Know your baseline numbers. Track changes over time. If something's off, address it early. You don't even have to rely entirely on a doctor to initiate it. There are affordable lab services where you can order panels yourself and see the numbers. That yearly snapshot alone is powerful. Preparedness includes your body. Stop White-Knuckling It For months, the only thing helping me push through fatigue was kratom. Say what you want — it helped me function. But that's a band-aid. It's not a diagnosis. White-knuckling your way through work, overtime, parenting, life — that's not strength. That's deferred maintenance. If you wouldn't run your truck with the oil light on for six months, don't do it to your body. You are the most important piece of gear you own. Final Thoughts I don't know yet what's going on with me. Maybe it's autoimmune. Maybe it's iron depletion. Maybe it's something else entirely. What I do know is this: ignoring it wasn't working. Take care of your health before it forces you to.Get the data. Make informed decisions.And stop pretending feeling terrible is just part of getting older.

Many serious medical illnesses are associated with some degree of serum electrolyte abnormality, renal impairment, or both. The neurologist must determine if the patient's neurologic symptoms are related to the renal and electrolyte disturbances or whether a concurrent primary neurologic process is at play. In this episode, Casey Albin, MD, speaks with Eelco F. M. Wijdicks, MD, PhD, FAAN, FACP, FNCS, author of the article "Neurologic Manifestations of Renal and Electrolyte Disorders" in the Continuum® February 2026 Neurology of Systemic Disease issue. Dr. Albin is a Continuum® Audio interviewer, associate editor of media engagement, and an assistant professor of neurology and neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dollar tree Dollar Tree Survival: What's Worth Buying (And What's Trash) | Episode 582 Every prepper loves to argue gear. Expensive gear. Fancy gear. Tactical gear.But when weather hits and shelves start thinning out, a lot of the most useful stuff people grab doesn't come from boutique survival stores — it comes from places like Dollar Tree. This episode is a straight, no-nonsense breakdown of what's actually worth buying there, what works in real life, and what you should absolutely never waste your money on. Electrolytes, Drink Mixes, and Cheap Hydration Wins Let's start with one of the best buys: drink mixes and electrolytes. I make my own electrolytes — quarter teaspoon of table salt, quarter teaspoon of light salt for potassium — but straight salty water kind of sucks. Flavor helps, and Dollar Tree has cheap packets that do the job. Store brand electrolyte packets are usually around five bucks elsewhere. Dollar Tree? About a buck and a quarter. Good flavors, no nonsense. They don't need to be fancy. They just need to get fluids into you. I've been drinking more water and electrolytes at work lately instead of Coke, partly because I'm taking iron pills and caffeine messes with absorption. It saves money, cuts caffeine, and keeps hydration solid. That alone makes these packets worth stocking. Allergy Meds, Band-Aids, and Medical Basics Dollar Tree allergy pills actually work. We've used them. If an allergy pill doesn't work, you know immediately — and these did. That's not something I'd say for every supplement in the world, but for allergy meds? Totally acceptable. That said, if you can plan ahead, Amazon year-supply bottles are still the better deal. Band-Aids are another situational win. You don't always need premium adhesion. Sometimes you just need to cover a small cut so it's not open to bacteria. Especially with kids, cheap band-aids are fine for minor stuff. They also carry: Isopropyl alcohol Hydrogen peroxide Cotton balls Vaseline (small tubs, but useful) All of that belongs in a first aid kit or backup stash. Feminine Products and Personal Care Emergency feminine products from Dollar Tree work. They're not luxury, but they do the job — and in preparedness, function beats comfort. Toothbrushes are fine as backups. Toothpaste is okay if you need it right now, but the unit price usually isn't great. Bulk buying elsewhere still wins. Still, if you're already there and you're low? Grab it. Batteries: Garbage, But Sometimes Useful Garbage Dollar Tree batteries are bad. No debate. They're trash in high-drain devices. But here's the thing: not everything is high drain. TV remotes? They work fine. You'll get months out of them. And because they're so cheap, you can slowly build a backup stash just by grabbing a pack here and there. We even use them as emergency backups in our propane on-demand water heater. It takes four AA batteries. No batteries means no hot water. Rechargeables are the primary solution — but if something goes sideways, Dollar Tree batteries will still get us through showers and dishes for a while. In an emergency, “good enough” is still good enough. Food, Snacks, and Bug-Out Bag Items Dollar Tree snacks are solid: Granola bars Protein bars Instant coffee Coffee packets Drink mixes They also carry instant espresso powder sometimes — and if you see it, grab it. That stuff is legit and fantastic for preps. Small jars of instant coffee are great for pantries. Packets are better for bug-out bags. Cheap energy drinks and drink mixes are easy morale wins. Tools, Electronics, and Stuff You Should Never Buy This is where people screw up. Do not buy: Tools Knives Electronics Headphones Power strips Surge protectors It's all junk. Unsafe junk in some cases. Trash bags, on the other hand, are useful. Survival trash bags can collect water, act as ground sheets, improvised ponchos, condensation traps — tons of uses. Duct tape and electrical tape are fine.Notebooks, pens, pencils? Totally fine.School supplies and basic learning materials? Acceptable. But tools and electronics? Hard pass. And for the love of God, don't buy the Dollar Tree steak. The Real Takeaway Dollar Tree isn't a survival store — but it is a supply store if you know what you're doing. Use it for: Hydration support Medical basics Cheap backups Snacks and morale Avoid it for: Tools Electronics Anything you'd trust your safety to Preparedness isn't about buying expensive gear. It's about knowing what works, what doesn't, and building layers that make sense. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

We cornered the market on mozzarella sticks before this awesome episode! The main topic involved our recommendations for electrolyte use in races and hard training. Sweat replacement is one of the strangest, least understood parts of athletic physiology. We give our guidelines from lots of real-world experimentation. And this one was full of incredible topics! Other topics: the happiest place on Earth, Megan's first video filming and the year of vulnerability, David's return to run, a new probiotic study showing the weird connection between the gut and brain, Kristian Blummenfelt measuring with the highest VO2 max ever (or did he?), Airpod 3 heart rate, gambling in running, Truett Hanes' OTQ chase, our updated thoughts on applying AI in training, a Nomio follow-up, the perils of setting Z2 in the wrong place, changing directions on the track, elliptical v. bike training, bike cadence, a deep question on parenting, and lots more!Whenever you're in doubt about our place in the Universe, look up at the night sky, take a deep breath, and give the universal signal: SUCK IT. That will make a bit more sense soon (maybe). We love you all!

Cold plunges. Saunas. Vibration plates. Electrolytes. Mobility routines. Everyone has an opinion—but what actually moves the needle? In this episode of The Fitness League, Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle play a round of Smash or Pass with some of the most talked-about health and fitness trends right now. We break down what's worth your time, what's overhyped, and what depends entirely on you. Along the way, we cover the fundamentals that never go out of style—why protein matters for recovery and strength, why fiber is still wildly under-consumed, and when electrolytes actually make sense. We also talk through cold exposure, sauna use, Zone 2 cardio, mobility work, and macro tracking, with real-world context instead of blanket advice. This episode is about cutting through the noise, understanding your individual needs, and building a health approach that's effective, sustainable, and actually enjoyable. If you've ever wondered whether the latest trend is a game-changer or just good marketing—this one's for you.

Chronic stress and burnout are often worn as a badge of honor, yet they can be powerful accelerators of biological aging. In this conversation, wellness entrepreneur and educator Erica Jones explains how persistent stress can disrupt sleep, increase inflammation, and influence mitochondrial function, hormones, and even gene expression through epigenetic pathways. Together, with the host, Dr. Gillian Lockitch, we focus on sustainable strategies that busy, high-capacity people can actually maintain - starting with the "unsexy basics" of hydration and sleep, plus boundaries that protect your nervous system. You'll also leave with one simple "try this today" reset to restore perspective when you feel overwhelmed. Erica Jones is a wellness entrepreneur and educator and the co-founder of Elevays, where she helps high performers build sustainable routines that support energy, focus, and longevity without burnout. With a background in biology and an early career in pharmaceutical sales, Erica transitioned into a root-cause approach to health through functional and holistic wellness. She has guided thousands of entrepreneurs, CEOs, and coaches toward greater clarity, balance, and resilience through practical, real-life strategies. Episode Timeline 00:00 – Opening teaser: stress and biological aging. Why burnout and chronic stress can quietly accelerate aging, and why small daily shifts can help reverse the trajectory. 00:30 – Dr. Gillian Lockitch introduces the episode focus: stress, mitochondria, telomeres, hormones, inflammation, sleep, and longevity. 03:48 – Meet Erica Jones. Erica shares her work helping high performers build sustainable routines that support energy, focus, and longevity. 04:11 – From pharma to holistic wellness. Erica describes her biology background, early pharmaceutical sales career, and the pivot into holistic, root-cause health. 08:39 – The problem with "overwhelming wellness routines" Why drastic overhauls and intense routines backfire for busy people, and how to simplify to what's doable. 09:55 – Non-negotiables: hydration and sleep. The "unsexy basics" that protect the cell: consistent hydration (often with electrolytes) and prioritizing sleep. 11:35 – Electrolytes: a practical tool. Erica recommends an electrolyte option (LMNT) and explains how it can support consistent hydration. 13:48 – Real-life challenges and cravings. Dr. Lockitch shares how health events and medication shifts can change appetite, cravings, and weight management. 16:10 – How stress ages us at the cellular level. Epigenetic alteration, chronic inflammation, and lifestyle patterns that can turn on disease expression over time. 25:05 – What to stop doing now. Protect sleep, reduce late-night screens and blue light, and create boundaries with devices and always-on digital life. 29:28 – A common myth: waiting for the perfect time. Why "I'll get healthy after this busy season" keeps people stuck, and how constraints and commitment create change. 31:16 – Balancing work, family, and self-care.

What if your "healthy" water intake is still quietly hurting your performance? In this solo episode, Dr. Mike breaks down hydration from a performance-first perspective — how dehydration affects cognition and physical output, why "8 glasses a day" is an oversimplified myth, and how to personalize your intake based on body size, activity level, diet, environment, and medications. He walks through practical guidelines (including 30–35 ml/kg/day), how to use urine + thirst cues without overcomplicating it, and why timing matters (especially around workouts, sauna use, and sleep). A major focus of this episode is electrolytes — what they do, how sweat changes your needs, and why sodium is often the key limiter for athletes, sauna users, and people eating low-carb/keto. Dr. Mike also covers potassium and magnesium, caffeine and hydration, the risks of overhydration, and the classic warning signs of hyponatremia. This is a comprehensive, no-BS guide to staying hydrated, replenishing electrolytes correctly, and improving energy, performance, and sleep.

You're about to learn how government approved food policies, regulatory loopholes, and corporate lobbying have quietly reshaped what's allowed in the food supply and why these decisions are driving chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and neurological breakdown at scale. This episode exposes how biotoxins, ultra processed ingredients, and systemic regulatory failures contribute to long COVID, POTS, mold illness, chronic fatigue, and dysautonomia and why so many people feel sick despite following official health guidance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Will Cole, a functional medicine expert who works extensively with autoimmune disease, mold illness, hormonal dysfunction, digestive disorders, and complex brain related symptoms. Dr. Cole brings years of clinical experience analyzing lab data and treating patients with biotoxin exposure, neuro immune dysregulation, and chronic fatigue patterns. Together, they connect the dots between mold exposure, post viral illness, mast cell activation, low blood pressure, and why many people with long COVID or POTS feel dizzy, inflamed, and cognitively impaired. They explain how histamine overload, electrolyte depletion, cortisol imbalance, and genetics combine to disrupt blood flow to the brain and shut down human performance. The conversation focuses on practical functional medicine and biohacking tools that help rebuild resilience at the mitochondrial and nervous system level. You'll Learn: • Why long COVID, mold illness, POTS, and chronic fatigue often share the same biological drivers • How biotoxins like mold and viral exposure dysregulate the neuro immune endocrine axis • Why low blood pressure reduces blood flow to the brain and causes brain fog and fatigue • What mast cell activation syndrome is and how histamine overload affects the body and brain • Why electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are foundational for recovery • How creatine supports brain energy, hydration, and mitochondrial function • The role of cortisol in inflammation, stress tolerance, and nervous system stability • When antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers can improve quality of life • How nicotine acts as a low dose neuroprotective compound when used carefully • The benefits and risks of methylene blue for mitochondrial and cognitive support • Why removing the trigger matters more than chasing symptoms • How a functional medicine approach rebuilds resilience instead of masking dysfunction • Why creatine absorption improves when added to hot coffee • How Danger Coffee fits into performance, hydration, and brain energy Thank you to our sponsors! - IGNITON | Go to http://igniton.com/ and use code DAVE for 15% off your first order. -TRU KAVA | Go to https://trukava.com/ and use code DAVE10 for 10% off. -Caldera + Lab | Go to https://calderalab.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout for 20% off your first order. -LYMA | Go to https://lyma.sjv.io/gOQ545 and use code DAVE10 for 10% off the LYMA Laser.

Discover the seven critical alcohol effects on body systems, from blood sugar disruption and gut inflammation to hormone imbalances and liver stress. Whether you're an occasional drinker or weekend regular, understanding how alcohol impacts your health—from brain function to cancer risk—helps you make informed choices and recover smarter. FEATURED PRODUCT NAC+ – featuring N-Acetyl Cysteine and selenium, is specifically designed to support your liver's ability to produce powerful antioxidants that combat oxidative stress from alcohol consumption. As discussed in this episode, alcohol depletes critical nutrients like selenium while generating excessive cellular damage. NAC+ helps your liver reduce oxidative stress, supports detoxification pathways, and replenishes the exact minerals that alcohol depletes—making it essential for anyone who drinks, whether occasionally or regularly. get it here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/nac 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Blood Sugar Disruption – Alcohol converts directly into blood sugar and is stored as fat in the liver, contributing to pre-diabetes and fatty liver disease that affects one in four people worldwide. Gut & Liver Inflammation – Alcohol acts as a toxin that damages gut lining, disrupts the microbiome, causes leaky gut, and generates oxidative stress that your liver must work overtime to neutralize. Neurotransmitter Imbalance – While alcohol temporarily boosts serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, it severely disrupts sleep quality, increases anxiety and depression risk, and prevents proper brain detoxification during rest. Mineral Depletion – Alcohol's diuretic effect causes critical loss of selenium, zinc, magnesium, and potassium—minerals essential for liver function, antioxidant production, and cellular protection. Hormone & Cancer Risk – Long-term alcohol consumption suppresses testosterone, increases estrogen through aromatization, and is classified as a carcinogen linked to multiple cancer types including liver, breast, and colorectal cancers.

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down the 10 critical carnivore mistakes that keep people inflamed, tired, constipated, and stuck. After coaching more than 10,000 people through carnivore resets, Ben reveals why carnivore works beautifully for 30 to 90 days — but backfires when done incorrectly. You'll learn: • Why long-term carnivore can lower thyroid function, reduce microbial diversity, raise stress hormones, and stall progress.• The proper metabolic preparation before starting carnivore (low carb → keto → carnivore).• The hidden inflammation caused by pasteurized dairy — and why goat, sheep, and raw A2 dairy are superior.• Exactly how to break carnivore without wrecking your gut, including the 72-hour reintroduction rule.• The difference between clean animal fats and inflammatory PUFA-heavy meats.• How to hit the right protein target to avoid muscle loss and metabolic slowdown.• The importance of nose-to-tail nutrition and where to source clean meats.• Why electrolytes are non-negotiable and the signs you're depleted.• How stress, sleep, and cortisol determine whether carnivore works at all.• The reminder that carnivore is a tool — not the whole toolbox. Ben also answers listener questions about constipation, duration of carnivore, and why a minority of people truly thrive long-term.
Get real, true hydration with Redmond Re-lyte! Try it for 15% off, here.What if the real problem isn't salt itself but the way we've stripped it, feared it, and deadened the water we drink it with?We're sitting down with Darryl Bosshardt, a salt expert from Redmond, Utah, who grew up inside his family's mineral business. We had a lot of fun recording this episode because he's as intensely nerdy about salt as we are about birth and motherhood.We question how salt ended up cast as the villain and what that fear has quietly done inside us, especially when studies and headlines ignored context like water and overall diet. We open up the tension between the mineral-rich salt and spring water humans adapted to and the stripped, “dead” versions most people are leaning on today. Instead of handing you another protocol, we stay focused on how it actually feels when you give your body enough of what it runs on and stop fighting its design.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:06:09] How ancient civilizations survived and thrived around salt deposits[00:11:52] The clever way our ancestors found salt and water[00:17:17] The fascinating science of salt crystal size and why it changes how salty food tastes on your tongue[00:20:30] The biblical origins of "kosher salt" and why it's called that (it has nothing to do with being blessed)[00:26:31] The 1954 mouse study that demonized salt[00:32:17] The shocking truth: consuming less than 2,300mg of sodium resulted in a 430% increase in heart attacks[00:34:19] The Brewer's Diet approach to preventing preeclampsia with unrestricted salt, protein, and water[00:40:16] What "dead water" is and why spring water contains the full electrolyte profile our bodies expect[00:47:32] The bottle experiment that proves RO water is aggressively trying to dissolve everything it touches[00:52:30] Drinking demineralized water makes your body pull minerals from your jawbone and teeth[01:03:05] The heavy metals question: understanding parts per billion versus actual micrograms consumed[01:13:04] How to evaluate ANY product with three simple questions about producer, source, and processingResources Mentioned:Find A Spring | WebsiteWater & Salt, the Essence of Life by Barbara Hendel and Peter Ferreira | BookFDA Total Diet Study | ArticleFind more from Darryl Bosshardt by following him on LinkedIn.Find more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER

Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Episode Description You trust the electrolyte label that says "clean hydration" and "pure minerals." But a shocking new investigation reveals most brands can't prove it. Dr. Christian Gonzalez reached out to 33 of the biggest electrolyte companies—including Liquid I.V., LMNT, Ultima, Nuun, and Trace Minerals—with one simple request: show proof your minerals are tested for heavy metals, PFAS, mold, and contaminants through Certificates of Analysis (COAs). The results? Twenty-five brands disappeared, dodged questions, or flat-out refused to respond. Only EIGHT companies could stand behind their claims with real data. This isn't about being picky—it's about protecting your cellular function, nervous system, and hormonal balance from daily toxic exposure. When you consume contaminated electrolytes multiple times a day, you're compounding exposure to chemicals that disrupt every electrical signal in your body, from mood regulation to heartbeat. The hidden contaminants lurking in popular electrolyte powders: • PFAS (Forever Chemicals) linked to hormonal imbalance, thyroid disruption, and immune dysfunction • Heavy metals including arsenic, lead, and cadmium that accumulate in tissues and impair detoxification • Mold and bacterial contamination from compromised mineral sourcing and manufacturing • Synthetic fillers like artificial sweeteners, colors, and flow agents that burden your liver • Toxic packaging that makes the container itself part of the contamination problem In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez exposes the 2025 Electrolyte Purity Audit and reveals: • The full list of 33 brands tested—and which ones refused to respond or failed safety standards • The ONLY 8 electrolyte brands that passed with transparency, clean COAs, and verified testing • Why major names like Liquid I.V., Ultima, Nuun, Dr. Berg, and Thorne couldn't (or wouldn't) provide proof • The marketing manipulation behind "clean hydration" and "pure mineral" claims • How to identify truly clean electrolytes and protect yourself from daily mineral contamination • The cellular damage, hormonal disruption, and nervous system dysfunction caused by chronic electrolyte toxin exposure This episode goes beyond hydration—it's about understanding that electrolytes control your body's cellular electricity. It's about taking back control of what you put in your body every single day, and demanding transparency from an industry built on marketing hype, not real science.

Nuzzi. Lizza. Maga. Disney. Chemtrails. Folks, the world is getting weirder and weirder as human brains begin to wilt and grow mold. Perhaps we didn't water them enough. Perhaps some of us watered with Diet Coke, Monster Energy, and Electrolytes instead of classic H20, which would explain why some of us are so much more powerful than others. For this week's episode, Travis, Jake, and Liv form a meeting of the minds. We talk about some of the latest and ongoing news stories from pilled America that each host has been drawn to like a hummingbird to that sweet sweet sugar water. It's a grab bag, so reach in and pull out your favorite host, pull the cord on their back, and retreat in horror (or hopefully laugh) as they spit out their latest rabbit hole.
