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

More on “eat the rainbow” . . . or notMedical breakthroughs that we don't really needCan you discuss the order of eating macronutrients and its impact on blood glucose?What about the impact of apple cider vinegar on blood sugar?

Cancer is typically framed as uncontrolled growth: cells breaking the rules and turning against the body. In this episode, Patrick Coles presents a different theory, one grounded in biophysics and terrain-based thinking, that reframes tumors as part of a larger adaptive process tied to toxic load and metabolic stress.Coles, trained as a physicist, approaches cancer through the lens of systems, thresholds, and testable predictions. His Toxin Sequestration Theory centers on the idea that chronic exposure to environmental and metabolic stressors – heavy metals, industrial chemicals, microplastics, and dietary inputs – drives the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). When that burden exceeds the body's capacity to neutralize it, he proposes that tumor formation may serve as a localized containment strategy.Throughout the conversation, we examine the mechanisms behind this theory, including why certain toxins are consistently found in tumor tissue, how cancer cells appear to upregulate transporters to pull in specific compounds, and what role oxidative stress plays across chronic disease. We also explore how this model interprets familiar concepts like metastasis, staging, and organ-specific cancers, and how it aligns with a broader terrain framework focused on adaptation, compensation, and internal balance.The discussion doesn't shy away from difficult questions. If tumors are involved in sequestration, how should we think about interventions that shrink or destroy them? What happens to the stored burden when those cells are disrupted? And how should outcomes be measured – tumor size, or long-term resilience and lifespan?Coles is developing this theory in real time, drawing both interest and criticism. This episode captures that process – laying out the core ideas, testing their coherence, and examining where they hold and where they need further work.Learn more about Patrick Coles by following his Substack at https://substack.com/@nutritionalphysicist and his YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@OxalateWarrior.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

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

Most women are suffering for years from anxiety, gut problems, low libido, and brain fog because no one is treating the real cause: their hormones. This episode is a masterclass in women's hormone optimization, covering everything from vaginal delivery of bioidentical hormones to why low estrogen destroys your gut, your sex drive, your mitochondria, and your marriage. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Sarah Daccarett, MD, a physician, longevity expert, and the founder and CEO of Inner Balance, a modern women's health company redefining hormone therapy, sexual wellness, and aging. She has treated tens of thousands of women across all 50 states and is known for challenging outdated medical models and building science-driven solutions that reflect female biology rather than borrowing protocols designed for men. She created Oestra, a revolutionary hormone therapy delivery system, along with Libida, an on-demand libido solution that targets desire at the brain level, making her one of the most credible and innovative voices in functional medicine and women's longevity today. Together, they expose why conventional medicine has failed women for decades, why patches and pills are nearly useless, and what actually works for anti-aging, metabolism, longevity, and human performance. Dr. Sarah makes the case that hormone replacement therapy is not a last resort for menopausal women. It is a foundational longevity strategy that every woman should consider starting in her 20s. You'll Learn: Why vaginal hormone delivery outperforms every other delivery method for women How low estrogen destroys your gut lining, gallbladder, and immune system long before menopause symptoms appear Why a carnivore or animal-based diet raises estrogen and why fiber lowers it How progesterone converts to testosterone in women, and why you may not need a testosterone prescription The real reason SSRIs get prescribed when hormone replacement therapy should come first Why iodine is essential for breast health, estrogen metabolism, and thyroid function How oxalates from "superfoods" like matcha, spinach, and almonds accumulate in your ovaries, uterus, and kidneys Why both partners need hormone replacement therapy for a relationship to thrive How hormones control mitochondria, dopamine, norepinephrine, and every system in your body Thank you to our sponsors! - Qualia | If you want to take the guesswork out of maintaining high NAD+ levels as you age, go to www.qualialife.com/daveNAD to get clinically proven Qualia NAD+ backed by a 100 day money back guarantee and code DAVENAD at checkout gets you an extra 15% off. - Igniton | Try risk free at Igniton.com and use code DAVE at checkout for 15% off.

Sally K. Norton, a Cornell-trained nutritionist with a master's in public health, spent decades sick while eating all the "right" foods before connecting her arthritis, chronic fatigue, sleep dysfunction, and other symptoms to oxalate accumulation. Her research — drawing on tens of thousands of peer-reviewed articles — reveals that medical and nutritional institutions have long known oxalates cause problems, but the information never connected across disciplines, was never prioritized, and got buried under decades of commercial food messaging and dietary dogma. Critically, simply eliminating high-oxalate foods overnight can trigger a difficult detox response as stored crystals release from tissues, so gradual dietary change is recommended. Her book, Toxic Superfoods, and her website sallyknorton.com offer practical guidance for anyone ready to investigate further.Sally K.

In this conversation, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the implications of consuming almonds, particularly in relation to kidney stones. They explore the role of oxalates in kidney stone formation, the importance of dietary adjustments, and the need for proper guidance in managing kidney health. The discussion emphasizes the balance between healthy eating and the potential risks associated with overconsumption of certain foods, particularly almonds and spinach.TakeawaysAlmonds are often considered healthy but can contribute to kidney stones.Oxalates found in almonds can lead to high levels in urine, increasing stone risk.Dieticians may not always provide specific advice on oxalate levels.Many people overconsume healthy foods, thinking more is better.It's essential to monitor oxalate levels in urine to prevent kidney stones.Reference ranges for oxalate levels in urine may be misleading.Dietary changes can significantly lower oxalate levels and prevent stones.Almonds and spinach are commonly removed from kidney stone diets.Other nuts can be consumed in moderation as alternatives to almonds.Education on kidney health and diet is crucial for prevention.00:00 Understanding Almonds and Kidney Stones06:25 Dietary Recommendations for Kidney Stone Prevention——When you're ready, here's how I can helpSince 1998, I've helped thousands of patients prevent kidney stones.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most absurd trends in modern nutrition: the idea that vegetables are toxic. From oxalates to lectins to nightshades, influencers have turned normal, nutrient-dense foods into villains...but the science tells a very different story. We break down what large-scale human data actually say about vegetables, disease risk, and longevity, and dig into where the fear-based narratives about spinach, beans, and tomatoes come from. You'll learn the real context behind oxalates and kidney stones, the truth about lectins and gut health, and why personalization beats fear every single time. The bottom line? The problem isn't broccoli, it's bad science communication. If you care about evidence-based nutrition, this episode will remind you why simplicity still wins and why “boring” habits like eating your vegetables remain some of the highest-ROI moves for your long-term health.

This solo masterclass on oxalates explains why many people who eat clean still struggle with joint pain, kidney stones, fatigue, brain fog, and chronic inflammation. You'll learn how oxalates behave very differently from other plant compounds like lectins, phytates, and salicylates. Unlike those compounds, oxalates physically bind minerals and form microscopic crystals that can lodge in tissues, damage mitochondria, and accumulate over time. This episode will change how you think about superfoods, clean eating, and long term human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey walks you through the real science of oxalates using decades of self experimentation, functional medicine research, and hands on biohacking. As the founder of the biohacking movement, Dave has tested fasting, ketosis, carnivore strategies, supplements, nootropics, sleep optimization protocols, and metabolic interventions to uncover what actually improves resilience, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial function without unnecessary damage. In this masterclass, you'll learn why oxalates cause problems even when digestion seems fine, why symptoms can show up in joints, kidneys, nerves, skin, and old injuries, and why reducing oxalates too fast can make you feel worse before you feel better. Dave explains oxalate dumping, candida driven oxalate overload, microbiome interactions, and why foods like spinach, almonds, cacao, and green smoothies often backfire over time. He also shares practical ways to lower your oxalate load safely, support mineral balance, and protect your metabolism and brain using a Smarter Not Harder approach. This episode is for you if you eat “healthy” but still feel off, deal with unexplained pain or inflammation, or want to improve longevity, brain optimization, sleep, and human performance without extreme restriction. You'll Learn: • Why oxalates are different from lectins, phytates, and other plant toxins • How oxalates drain minerals and damage mitochondria • What oxalate dumping feels like and how to avoid it • Which superfoods cause the biggest problems and what to replace them with • How hydration, minerals, and supplements affect oxalate clearance • Why oxalates accelerate aging and tissue stiffness over time • Practical biohacking strategies to protect longevity and human performance Thank you to our sponsors! -ECHO Water | Go to http://echowater.com/dave and use code DAVE10 for 10% off your ECHO Flask. -Branch Basics | Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code DAVE15 at https://branchbasics.com/DAVE15. -BodyHealth | Go to https://bodyhealth.com/ and use code DAVE20 to save 20% off your first order of PerfectAmino. -Zbiotics | Go to https://zbiotics.com/DAVE for 15% off your first order.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about chronic kidney disease and how to address the Kidneydemic with Renology. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Robin Rose.  Robin Rose, MD began a journey into holistic healing in her teens in the mid-sixties beginning with nutrition and botanical medicine and yoga and meditation.  Over the years her journey included time living in India and working with both village doctors and healers.  She became a health food chef and inspired many to change their habits.  Before long she was enrolled in an RN program and then a family nurse practitioner program.  Aware that the education wasn't complete, she attended University of Arizona College of Medicine; while also serving as a medical student board member for the American Holistic Medical Association.  During residency, she continued learning Chinese medicine, acupuncture, osteopathy, energy medicine, and herbal medicine.  Her main practice was in Ashland, Oregon where she served a community eager to integrate many healing modalities into the conventional setting, including innovative care in the hospital.  In the past decade after her own alarming health challenges with kidney cancer and advanced kidney disease, she became agile in regenerative medical approaches to kidney care.  She created a new specialty called Renology; a new concept of "Kidney Success" not Kidney Failure.  When she discovered peptides and especially bioregulator peptides, she led the brigade to new heights of seeing success in a field that had not embraced this kind of care.  Her recent book "Renology Peptides" is a nearly 800 page text on how to achieve this renewal of health.  Her current intention is to raise awareness of the role of kidney in wellbeing and how we can all celebrate this success.  Key Takeaways: What is the purpose of the kidneys? What symptoms are observed in chronic kidney disease? Is kidney disease a catabolic process? Is kidney disease genetic or epigenetic? What are the stages of kidney disease? What are the best tests and lab markers? What might elevations or phosphorous or potassium suggest? What is the kidney-gut axis? What is the role of endothelial health in kidney disease? What role do the mitochondria play?  How do infections and environmental toxicants contribute to kidney disease? What is the role of oxalates in kidney health? How might carbon dioxide guide treatment? Does cellular senescence play a role? What is the connection between the kidneys and the teeth? How do the limbic system and mental/emotional health impact the kidneys? What treatment intervention warrant exploration? Where do dialysis and transplantation come into the discussion? What role might peptides and peptide bioregulators play?

If you've been loading up on almonds, spinach, or sweet potatoes thinking they're superfoods, Dr. Jockers is here to challenge that idea.

Dr. Jockers also dives into practical ways to support oxalate metabolism through foods, supplements, and lifestyle tweaks.   Plus, learn how gut health, mineral balance, and a few overlooked supplements like B6 and magnesium citrate play a critical role in oxalate detox.

Happy May! As we step into the months of April and May, I (Allison) am finishing up my maternity leave. To give me a break from podcasting, we're pulling content from our group coaching calls inside our private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic is from my client Krista. She asked: "What are the possible causes of oxalates being that high? I had no candida or mold on my OAT and I don't feel like I overeat oxalates... To be truthful, my true vices in everything that I have given up have oxalates - coffee, dark chocolate and a good glass of red wine. I am giving up wine this month while doing these protocols (as well as all alcohol) - which I only had 2 glasses a week. I am weaning off coffee (only had two literal sips today of half calf because I LOVE the taste) and I am really hoping I don't have to completely give up chocolate - but what do you think?" Krista's question comes from the fact that she got testing inside our program that showed that she has elevated levels of oxalates in her body that was part of the root causes driving her symptoms. Oxalates come from a variety of places, but one place you can control them the most is in your diet. What she REALLY wanted to know is - what foods does she actually have to give up? Is it all foods with oxalates? Is her oxalate problem really about food - or is it possibly something else? This is a GREAT question and one that opened us up to talking about the DEEPER root causes of oxalates other than food (because oxalate sensitivity is NEVER just about food!). If you've ever looked into a low oxalate diet, or if you're stuck on a low oxalate diet and want to know if you can EVER come off - then THIS episode is for you! Additionally - I have a WHOLE podcast episode on oxalates you can check out - 148// The Oxalate Episode. If you're new to oxalates or want to do an even deeper dive into them, then I highly recommend checking this episode out next!

Think all vegetables are healthy? Think again. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals five "superfood" vegetables that could be sabotaging your weight loss, spiking inflammation, disrupting your hormones, and blocking fat burning. Backed by science and expert interviews, you'll learn exactly which vegetables to avoid, why they're harmful, and what to eat instead for maximum fat loss and metabolic health.

If your brain feels foggy, your mood swings like a pendulum, or your cravings seem to control you—this episode will flip what you think you know about your body and your mind. Because what if your thoughts… aren't really yours? In this mind-altering episode of The Human Upgrade, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals a startling new theory: your gut microbiome might be controlling your thoughts. From addiction and depression to obesity and inflammation, the microbes living in your gut—bacteria, fungi, viruses, even parasites—may be pulling the strings on your brain chemistry, mood, and behavior. Dave Asprey and Dr. Gundry dive deep into The Gut-Brain Paradox, exposing how the gut-brain axis operates more like a microbial command center than a digestive system. You'll learn why probiotic pills rarely work, how the wrong microbes can drive compulsive behavior, and how toxic foods, glyphosate, and antibiotics have turned our guts into neurological war zones. Most shocking of all? Microbes may not just influence addiction—they may cause it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How your gut microbiome can hijack your brain and influence your thoughts and behavior • Why certain microbes may actually cause addiction, obesity, and depression • How antibiotics, glyphosate, and processed foods are turning your gut into a desert • How to rebuild your gut ecosystem using postbiotics, fermented foods, and precision inputs • Why food cravings might be microbial mind control—and what to do about it • What the latest science reveals about the gut-brain axis, neurotransmitters, and neuroinflammation Sponsors: -Sunlighten | Go to https://www.sunlighten.com/dave/ and enter code DAVE at checkout to save up to $1,400. -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

Are oxalates actually harming your health, or is this another nutrition myth? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien breaks down the real science behind oxalates, their connection to kidney stones, mineral absorption, and gut health, and whether you really need to avoid high-oxalate foods. There's a lot of fear-mongering around oxalates, but what does the latest research say? Should you stop eating spinach, beets, or almonds? What about meat's impact on kidney function? Darin pulls from peer-reviewed studies to cut through the noise and give you the facts so you can make the best choices for your health. If you've ever wondered whether oxalates are a real concern or just clickbait, this episode is a must-listen.     Segment 1: What Are Oxalates? Friend or Foe? Oxalates, or oxalic acid, are naturally occurring compounds found in many plant-based foods. They serve as a defense mechanism for plants but can sometimes bind with minerals like calcium and iron in the body, potentially forming kidney stones or reducing nutrient absorption.  Here's the key question: Are oxalates dangerous, or is this another health myth blown out of proportion?   Here's what the research says:  For most people, oxalates are NOT a problem. Your body naturally processes and eliminates excess oxalates through urine.  For those prone to kidney stones, particularly calcium oxalate stones (which make up about 80% of all kidney stones), consuming too many high-oxalate foods can increase the risk.  Oxalates can interfere with calcium and iron absorption, but this is only a concern for people with nutrient deficiencies.   Key takeaway: If your kidneys are healthy, your body handles oxalates just fine. But if you've had kidney stones before, you might want to pay closer attention to your oxalate intake.      Segment 2: What Does the Science Say About Oxalates?  To cut through the noise, I pulled up the latest research from 2024 and 2025. Here's what's new:    1. Gut Microbiota Can Help Protect Against Oxalates  A  2025 study in Frontiers in Nutrition found that certain gut bacteria (like Oxalobacter formigenes) actually digest oxalates, helping prevent kidney stones.  Takeaway: If you're worried about oxalates, supporting your gut microbiome with probiotics might be a natural way to reduce their impact.  Link: Read Study Here   "The presence of oxalate-degrading bacteria in the gut can significantly lower oxalate absorption and reduce kidney stone risk." – Dr. L. Wang, NHANES Study    2. Vitamin C Supplements & Oxalate Formation  Some people worry that high-dose vitamin C supplements convert into oxalates, increasing kidney stone risk.  A 2025 study in Nutrients found no significant increase in urinary oxalates from vitamin C intake.  Takeaway: If you take vitamin C in moderation, you don't have to worry about it increasing oxalates.  Link: Read Study Here "Contrary to popular belief, moderate vitamin C supplementation does not significantly raise oxalate levels in urine." – Dr. P.C. Calder, Nutrients Journal    3. Cooking & Fermentation Can Reduce Oxalates  A 2024 study on fermentation & nutrient bioavailability found that cooking reduces oxalate levels by up to 60%.  Best methods? Boiling, steaming, and fermentation lower oxalates significantly.  Takeaway: If you love spinach but worry about oxalates, just boil it first!  Link: Read Study Here      Segment 3: What About Meat? Does It Increase Kidney Stone Risk? Now, here's something you might not expect. We talk a lot about oxalates and plant-based foods, but what about meat? Could eating too much meat actually contribute to kidney stones? The research says YES—but not because of oxalates. Instead, the mechanism is uric acid and metabolic acidity. Let's break it down.   1. Red Meat & Uric Acid Stones  A 2024 study in Nature Reviews Urology found that high animal protein intake increases uric acid, which contributes to kidney stones.  Excess meat consumption makes urine more acidic, making it easier for stones to form.  Link: Read Study Here "High animal protein intake, while providing essential amino acids, also contributes to increased acid load and uric acid production, both of which are risk factors for kidney stone development." – Dr. S. Loeb, Nature Reviews Urology     2. Meat Increases Metabolic Acidity  A 2025 study from Frontiers in Endocrinology found that excessive meat consumption leads to increased acid load, calcium loss, and kidney dysfunction.  This makes it harder for the kidneys to filter out waste properly.  Link: Read Study Here "While meat consumption is essential for many, excessive intake can disrupt mineral ion homeostasis, increasing the risk of kidney stone disease." – Dr. R. Ahmad, Frontiers in Endocrinology     Segment 4: Foods High & Low in Oxalates Knowing which foods to eat or limit is key.   High-Oxalate Foods (If You're at Risk)  Spinach, Swiss chard, beet greens  Beets, rhubarb, sweet potatoes  Almonds, peanuts, cashews  Blackberries, kiwi, figs  Black tea, cocoa, coffee    Low-Oxalate Foods (Safer Choices)  Kale, mustard greens, cabbage  Cauliflower, cucumbers, zucchini  Apples, bananas, melons, grapes  Milk, yogurt (binds with oxalates)  Eggs, fish, chicken, beef (in moderation)     Segment 5: Actionable Steps to Manage Oxalate & Meat Intake If you're concerned about oxalates or meat-related kidney stones, here's what to do:   Balance Oxalates with Calcium  Eat calcium-rich foods with oxalates to prevent them from forming stones. Cook Your Vegetables  Boiling, steaming, and fermenting reduce oxalates by up to 60%!  Drink Plenty of Water  Staying hydrated flushes out excess oxalates & uric acid.  Don't Overdo Meat Consumption  Limit red meat intake and balance with alkaline foods like vegetables & fruit.  Probiotics for Gut Health  Consider probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kimchi to help break down oxalates.     Final Thoughts So, should you avoid oxalates? Should you stop eating meat? Not necessarily. The real key is BALANCE. Most people don't need to avoid oxalates entirely, and meat is fine in moderation—as long as you balance it with hydration, alkaline foods, and a gut-friendly diet.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: (00:00:00) Introduction – What are oxalates, and why is everyone talking about them?
