In this episode, we discuss how to assist your clients to restore their energy by balancing the thyroid function.  There are many people on thyroid hormones and for a lot of us, this is not the right approach.  The main function of thyroid is to control the metabolic rate of every cell. How do we, as practitioners, determine the best approach to optimizing the thyroid? Our guest today is Dr. Lisa Lewis, one of our nutritional endocrinology practitioners and naturopathy doctors, with over 20 years of experience. Dr Lisa Lewis is also a hormone health expert, a speaker and a transformational healer. Tune in to learn how to best support your clients in balancing their thyroid function.        IN THIS EPISODE:    [03:00] Dr. Lewis assists women who are suffering with complex and unresolved hormonal symptoms.  [10:00] Things that people have been exposed to all of their lives, having an impact on their thyroid and hormones.  [13:00] Slowing down when the pandemic hit had a positive effect on sleep and stress.  [16:00] Instead of focusing on one or two symptoms, have a holistic perspective and ask what conditions would show up with all of these symptoms.   [24:00] Getting people off the things they feel are supporting them, only because they've been doing all the protocols for years.  [30:00] For people who have been doing what an average thyroid patient would, including taking medication and watching their diet, and who haven't gotten any results, it makes sense to get into the mental, emotional and spiritual space.       KEY TAKEAWAYS:    There are a lot of people today with hormonal and thyroid imbalances.  Instead of diagnosing one or two symptoms, it's best to take a holistic approach and see the bigger picture of what type of condition a client could have.  It makes sense to clients to get into the mental, emotional and spiritual space if they haven't had results from past medications or diets.      Guest Bio:  Dr. Lewis is a transformational healer, leading licensed Naturopathic/Functional Medicine Doctor, Acupuncturist, Nutritional Endocrinologist, hormone health expert, speaker, and author of “Stop Stressing Me Out: 7 Solutions to Overcome Overwhelm and Conquer Disease Naturally.”  In addition to earning a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine (ND), Master of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine Certificate, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Dr. Lewis has over three decades of experience working in the scientific and pharmaceutical industries.  Using a combination of Natural Medicine, Chinese Medicine, and Western Medicine, Dr. Lewis is a trailblazer for the future of medicine.

In this episode I interview my good friend and colleague Dr. Kareem Kandil, MD, ND. As a researcher of medical cannabis and botanical medicine for the past decade, Dr. Kandil combines his educational background and passion for botanical medicine, focusing on industrial hemp-derived cannabinoids.Dr. Kandil began his journey into medicine as an emergency medical scribe in Houston, working alongside ER physicians during the peak of the H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic of 2009. During that time he first began his research into the safety and efficacy of medical cannabis as well as looking at vaccine injuries following the rushed Pandemrix vaccine. In 2011 he then went on to commence his medical studies at Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica, West Indies, known as the Nature Island for the Caribbean. In 2012 he did his first grand rounds presentation on “The Therapeutic Potential of Cannabinoids.” During his clinical rotations at various hospital sites across the US, he researched the history of medicine in the US as well as the benefits of food, vitamins, minerals and botanicals in healing. After graduating with his medical degree (MD) in 2105, he went on to work in telemedicine for the insurance industry while shadowing a holistic medical physician who focused on treating autoimmune chronic disease conditions with lifestyle interventions. He then enrolled in the naturopathic medicine program at National University of Health Sciences 2016, graduating as salutatorian in August of 2018 with his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND). While enrolled at NUHS, Dr. Kandil did several grand rounds presentations on the therapeutic uses of cannabinoids emphasizing hemp-derived CBD.After graduating, Dr. Kandil co-founded a line of CBD supplements under Better Living Botanicals. With his extensive background studying cannabis, Dr. Kandil has also grown premium high-CBD industrial hemp genetics with Wisconsin Amish farmers, authored a module for the NDNR Integrative Cannabis Course, and lectured at the Texas Hemp Convention. A link to a Google doc with an extensive list of resources on vaccines and COVID can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cEv_nD6xbbRb6TDj3HiQ4tfZBkOdWobLpzhKaClgtbE/edit?usp=sharing

Book: Dirty Genes http://amzn.to/2nHlhBf www.drbenlynch.com Dirty Genes  http://learntruehealth.com/dirty-genes/ Dirty genes is a significant factor why we do not reach an optimal level of health. Our body needs healthy genes to function properly. But unfortunately, many people are still unaware of this vital aspect of health.  That’s why we’re so lucky to have Dr. Ben Lynch here with us today to explain everything you need to know about dirty genes.  Childhood Interest   Dr. Ben Lynch was 16 years old when he was first introduced to biochemistry in high school. He thought it was the best class he ever had because it taught him about how the body works.    Because Dr. Ben Lynch became fascinated with how our body was wired, he went on to pursue a medical degree in college. But it was not long before he realized that standard medicine and the conventional route was not for him.   The turning point in his career path was when Dr. Ben Lynch got sick during a trip to India. Finding a cure for his illness, he was introduced to a peculiar form of medicine. Dr. Ben Lynch recalls that the one treating him checked his tongue, pulse, and gave a weird prescription. Surprisingly, he felt better after 40 minutes!    That experience eventually led Dr. Ben Lynch to pursue a career as a Naturopathic Doctor by getting his degree at Bastyr University. But Dr. Ben Lynch still felt it wasn’t enough until he developed an interest in Environmental Medicine. This led him to discover epigenetics.   Focus On Epigenetics   Dr. Ben Lynch was very much concerned about how a poor environment can make people very ill and develop dirty genes.  When he learned that genes were a significant factor in the entire process, he started to dive deeper into genetic research.   “Our genes require tools. Most of the tools come from the food that we eat. If we are providing our body with healthful, wholesome foods, our genes get the tools they can use to function. Such as protein, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, water, air, and sunlight,” said Dr. Ben Lynch.  He adds, “We give genes those tools through nutrition, breathing properly, hydration and avoid doing stuff that makes them do excessive work like chemicals in the environment, wi-fi signals, and polluted air.”   And that’s so true! I first heard about epigenetics from Dr. Joe Wallach. He wrote the book, Epigenetics: The Death of the Genetic Theory of Disease Transmission. The book explains how nutrition supports the genes to be healthy. It’s a very informative book, and I recommend all you listeners to include this in your reading list.     Air Purifiers   Pollutants in the environment are unavoidable. But because they cause dirty genes, Dr. Ben Lynch says one way to clear the air is using air purifiers. Air purifiers can clear the air of chemicals and elements like smoke, pollen, and dust.     Good brands of air purifiers include IQAir and Alen Air. But Dr. Ben Lynch puts in a word of caution if and when you decide to get one.   “Air purifiers have an engine.  I recommend plugging it in and turn on outside to let it off the gas,” advises Dr. Ben Lynch. “Because nowadays, everything is wrapped in plastic. When you turn it on, there are so many volatile organic compounds that are being emitted.”   Dr. Ben Lynch also advises avoiding having carpets if you want to avoid having dirty genes. Because apparently, carpets are sponges that hold dirt. There are also a lot of other odd compounds in carpets. It traps dust and humidity, attracts molds and dust mites.    Gas And Cooking   We also know that gas is a toxic substance.  That’s why Dr. Ben Lynch strictly advises that gas is something that needs to be outside. So, if you’re cooking, you need to be using your exhaust fan.    “Smoke from oils have formaldehyde, destroy genes and burdens the body. Then a lot of people are taking antacids, which are inhibiting their primary detoxification system,” said Dr. Ben Lynch. “People are also loading up with Tylenol. This depletes primary antioxidants. So be wary of what you buy over the counter.”   Dr. Ben Lynch says it is also bad to inhale smoke from cars. The carbon monoxide binds to the hemoglobin. And when carbon monoxide seeps into our tissues, it can eventually kill us.    “You increase cardiovascular disease risk from inhaling smoke. People who are exercising in more polluted areas are also increasing cardiovascular risk,” Dr. Ben Lynch said. “That has to do with a gene called NOS 3, which is an important gene to keep clean.”    Dirty Genes Course   To those who would like to know more about the causes of dirty genes, do sign up for Dr. Ben Lynch’s course. The course provides a lot of insights on how to optimize your eating habits, and to have a better experience without supplements.    “The course guides people through the fundamentals of life. It also educates people why we need folate to make our body function right,” said Dr. Ben Lynch.   According to Dr. Ben Lynch, folate is essential in things like:   regulating white blood cells  fighting infection  regulating red blood cells so we can breathe  regulate our platelets  nourish our neurotransmitters so we can think  helps repair DNA when chemicals invade into our system  essential in kids’ growth  makes skin healthy since our skin creates skin cells all the time   Importance Of Folic Acid   Folic acid is a form of folate and is one of the B vitamins that we need. The U.S. recommended daily allowance of folic acid is 400 micrograms. These may be gained through food or dietary supplements.   “Folic acid binds preferentially to the folate receptors and folate transporters in the body. It goes through the DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase) gene.  This gene can handle 200 micrograms of folic acid before it gets saturated,” said Dr. Ben Lynch.   But Dr. Ben Lynch says some people have a genetic problem with this particular gene. Apparently, the folic acid can’t get through the DHFR gene. It has to go somewhere, so it ends up staying in the blood. Researchers call it unmetabolized folic acid.   “What unmetabolized folic acid does, is that it will get to your folate transport protein. Folic acid blocks transportation of the folate and getting inside the cell,” explains Dr. Ben Lynch.    Dr. Ben Lynch also reveals that people can be functionally folate-deficient. This is because they are functionally depriving their cells of the number one type of folate in their body which is methylfolate. Common side effects include experiencing brain fog, moodiness, and an unexplainable toxic feeling.   StrateGene   Ready to dive deeper into how genes work? Dr. Ben Lynch developed a genetic report called StrateGene. It uses 23andMe instead of ancestry because according to Dr. Ben Lynch, ancestry mainly has ancestral DNA. In order words, he says you don’t have clinically relevant genes on www.ancestry.com to run through a genetic report.    StrateGene also provides you a map so you can see what dirties up the genes. It also provides a quick glance at how vitamins, minerals, medication, and chemicals interfere with certain things.   “If you see any condition run in your family, there is most likely a genetic component there. And if you lead a lifestyle that is healthy, the chances of you struggling with that condition is lower,” said Dr. Ben Lynch.   But Dr. Ben Lynch says the more important factor is finding out what genes you inherited that is probably causing your illness. Knowing which genes are born dirty can give you an insight on where you should be spending more time and caution. And the cool thing is that you can support yourself through very targeted actions that will help the weaker genes.    What are Dirty Genes?   Now many of you may be wondering what dirty genes are. Dr. Ben Lynch explains that dirty genes are genes that are not functioning at it’s best. One can inherit dirty genes from your parents. And it usually does not function as well as it should be in your particular environment.    “You can inherit it. Genes also get dirty by sitting in the garage after turning on your car or turning on your gas stove and not turning the hood on. Dirty genes are also from eating unhealthy or from chronic stress,” said Dr. Ben Lynch.  Juicing, Raw Foods And Cooking   Dr. Ben Lynch advises that if you cook your leafy green vegetables, steam them for a short period. That’s where you’ll get your folate. Apparently, the longer you cook, the more your folate will be destroyed.    “Leafy greens are great. But if you have a weak constitution and digestion, eating raw, cold vegetables can be hard on you. So you might want to steam them,” Dr. Ben Lynch advises. ” If you have a frail palate, steam veggies and have soup. Keep in mind your body temperature, the power of your digestion and how you feel after. Listen to your body.”   Dr. Ben Lynch claims to love juicing as well. He says he prefers using a Blendtec over Vitamix because it is not as noisy. I like Blendtec, too. But I have heard feedback from friends that it breaks down.    Incidentally, I had the Vitamix expert Lenny Gale on my show a couple of times.  His website Life is No Yoke is packed with info on the different Vitamix models as well as yummy recipes using Vitamix. So I invite everyone to check out his website.    Histamine Intolerance   Dr. Ben Lynch also recommends a good brand of probiotics to keep our microbiome healthy. Some health conditions like headaches, runny nose, asthma and leaky gut is a sign that one may have histamine intolerance.   Histamine in the stomach and small intestines is good because it stimulates the stomach acid, movement of stool and immune response. But it is not good to have too much histamine in our gut because it could lead to digestive issues like diarrhea, and acid reflux.   Link Between Vaccines And Genes   Dr. Ben Lynch shares that vaccines have a role in specific environments for certain people. But he believes vaccines are hurting our kids and pregnant women. The same goes for flu shots.    Ideally, Dr. Ben Lynch recommends that parents should wait until their child is at least 12 years old before getting them vaccinated instead of when they are newborns. This is because any heavy metal will interfere with a plethora of genes.    “You can take all the supplements you want, but if you have metals, genes won’t work well. Avoid metals like aluminum because they interfere with neurotransmitters in the brain,” said Dr. Ben Lynch.   He adds, “I am not pro-vaccine, but I don’t think they are all bad. I just think if we do use them, they should be used selectively.”   I recently had a great interview with Dr. Paul Thomas on vaccines, and the need to have a vaccine-friendly plan.

If you've ever tested your genes (or wanted to) and had a completely head-scratching experience when it comes to interpreting your results or translating your genetic testing results into actionable information, then today's podcast is right up your alley, as I interview Dr. Ben Lynch, one of the world's leading authorities in interpreting and "fixing" your genes. Dr. Lynch, ND received his Cell and Molecular Biology, BS from the University of Washington and his doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine (ND) from Bastyr University. His passion for identifying the cause of disease directed him towards nutrigenomics and methylation dysfunction. Currently, he researches, writes and presents worldwide on the topic of MTHFR, methylation defects and genetic control. Dr. Lynch is the President of , a supplement company oriented towards disease prevention and health promotion. He also founded and directs , an educational institute providing specialized training for both health professionals and consumers. He lives in Seattle, WA with his wife, Nadia, and three boys, Tasman, Mathew and Theodor. He first discovered the power of epigenetics in 2008. At the time, he was a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, graduate of Bastyr University, with a special interest in environmental medicine—helping people recover from the assaults of industrial chemicals, heavy metals, and other environmental toxins. When he discovered what a big role genes played in this whole process, he began eagerly reading every scientific paper he could get is hands on. Dr. Lynch quickly realized that there was a huge gap between what the geneticists published in their research papers and what the medical providers practiced in their offices. The scientists were ridiculously far ahead of doctors and nurses, who often had no idea how to help their patients respond to genetic abnormalities or even to follow the basics of good gene health. Nor did practitioners have any idea how to create a targeted program geared to specific genetic issues. So he made it his mission to bring that cutting-edge science right into the doctor’s office. He threw himself into genetic research, chasing down any article or paper that could shed any light on what we regular folks could do to improve health. He began working with individuals whose health-care providers just weren’t giving them the help they needed. And he started to give seminars, webinars, workshops, and talks so that practitioners could learn how to help their patients. In a remarkably short time, he had established himself as the go-to guy on treating genetic abnormalities through diet, supplements, and lifestyle. In 2011, he founded Seeking Health, a research-based company producing high-quality supplements targeted to particular health issues. In 2015, he was named Number 37 in Inc.’s list of 500 Entrepreneur Superstars from America’s fastest-growing private companies and Number 1 in Washington state. In 2016, he made the list again. He also established Seeking Health Educational Institute (SHEI), a website for both health professionals and lay people who want to learn more about nutrigenomics and methylation. SHEI quickly became one of the most trusted resources on genetics for health professionals and laypersons worldwide. In 2015, he developed , a unique approach to helping people develop natural strategies for overcoming genetic abnormalities. People who were getting their genetic challenges from websites like 23andMe or Genos Research were receiving massively confusing documents with wildly contradictory information. His system zeroes in on the genetic abnormalities that pose the greatest challenges in people’s health and then provides comprehensive plans for overcoming those challenges through diet, environment and lifestyle. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Dr. Lynch first become interested in genetic and genes, despite this being uncommon in naturopathic medicine...[8:30] -Why most genetic analysis programs give you a ton of clinically irrelevant info, when most of it is not what you actually need...[11:30 & 26:00] -How to upload your raw 23andme data into a website like Stratagene to get very relevant information about your genes...[29:30 & 31:20] -How the "warrior" vs. "worrier" gene works, and what you can do if you are a worrier...[34:50] -Examples of very common SNP "issues", and what the impact of those is, along with potential associated symptoms and conditions and what you can do about it...[44:15] -Why you should consume bifidobacter probiotics, SAM-e and molybdenum, when you drink wine or other alcohol...[60:55] -How to know what your own "dirty genes" are...[65:30] -And much more...

Dr. Iris Crawford of Naturkur Wellness speaks with Farrar about how to address weight gain with PCOS by focusing on hormonal balance and adrenal fatigue. About Our Guest: Dr. Iris Crawford received a Bachelor of Science in Natural Health Sciences from Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA majoring in holistic nutrition and is a proud alumna of the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, Oregon, where she received her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) degree. She is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and the Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians. ​After years of research and medical practice seeing hundreds of women successfully lose weight and get their energy back, she believes that high-achieving women aren't getting the help they need to stay healthy and happy.  She believes that weight loss is not just about calories in and calories out and treating adrenal burnout and repairing the metabolism is often the missing link to successful and sustained weight loss.
