The O'Leary Review Podcast Guest: Barbara Williams December 22, 2022   BrianDOLeary.com (for all my links) BrianDOLeary.substack.com (best place for the show notes for each episode)   Barbara Williams is an anarchist (the capitalist loving kind), a 2-year carnivore, and grew up in California. She recently escaped the Golden State and currently resides in Las Vegas. She is a coach—specifically for entrepreneurs and especially those looking to make an impact by helping others. Barbara guides her clients from articulating their dreams to making plans with actionable steps. In addition to running business- and fitness-themed group calls for TomSchoolofLife.com, Barbara also co-founded TheCIRSGroup.com for people struggling with mold illness where she works with clients one-on-one.     Tom Woods 100 One of the goals of this program is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on the podcast. “Tom's orbit” is loosely defined, but we have less than 90 to go now! WhoIsInTheTomWoodsWorld.com — A page with all the #TomWoods100 conversations. #TomWoods100   Barbara was a guest on The Tom Woods Show, Episode 2230 https://youtu.be/3pfSZVOMIE4   Tom Woods School of Life   Podcasts mentioned: The O'Leary Review Ep 2 – Jeremy Evans Ep 13 – James Newcomb Ep 14 – Adam Haman     Financial Coaching Barbara is a certified financial coach through Ramsey Solutions. Go to ActLikeBarbara.com for more information.     Carnivore diet We spoke about Barbara's journey with the carnivore diet, and I brought up some of the foods that bother me—some spicy things, for instance. Yet, I really like spicy food—more of the Mexican and Middle Eastern spices rather than southeast Asian or “American Toughguy” (see: Buffalo Wings). Some of the Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese stuff immediately registers as fire without any of the taste. No can-do. Buffalo wings—at least the sauce—are an absolute non-starter for me. Pure pain, no enjoyment. Ironic, then, after I get off the call with Barbara and I fancy a Lebanese-style meal. I bought some kebabs the other day at Costco where all I have to do is reheat them. We have some hummus in the fridge and some sliced pepperoncini for a little garnish, bite, texture, or what have you. I ate 3 kebabs, a small helping of hummus, and a few of the sliced pepperoncini. As the night progressed, my stomach started talking back to me, but I paid it little mind and eventually retired for the night. Come about 1:30 in the morning, not only my tummy, but my throat started screaming at me and I had to get up to get an antacid tablet. Spent a few hours milling around, reading, etc. before I could get back to sleep. Felt back to normal the next morning. Point is: know your limits. I know most of my limits, yet oftentimes don't respect them. I need to eliminate things—many spicy things, in particular—from my life because of severe reactions that make me miserable for much too long. Try something new if you're getting zero traction. Carnivore, like Barbara mentioned, is not for everyone. However, a steak burrito at the restaurant Chipotle can be a cure for your vegan- or vegetarianism. No guarantees on that either.   Similar diet mentioned: The Lion Diet This will lead you to more information about Jordan Peterson and his daughter Mikhaila.   For Dr. Peterson, Mikhaila and his followers, Barbara recommends you listen to this episode, which is Episode 15 of The O'Leary Review Podcast. I am including a standing invitation to come on and talk about the Lion Diet in a future episode. Let's do this!   Book and doctor mentioned: Judy Cho, The Carnivore Cure   The CIRS Group Barbara is a co-founder of The CIRS Group What is CIRS? CIRS, or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, is often the cause of many so-called “uncurable” illnesses Chronic Fatigue Fibromyalgia POTS Pandas SIBO Several other autoimmune conditions. Approximately 25% of the population is genetically predisposed to CIRS because of the inability to clear biotoxins from one's own body. The term “biotoxins” is broad, but more often than not, the biotoxins we're talking about come from exposure to mold due to water-damaged buildings. The immune system response never “hands off” to the adaptive immune system. What this means is that one's body damages itself with inflammation rather than attacking the toxins causing the problem in the first place. Symptoms range from muscle cramps, frequent urination, joint pain and brain fog, to vertigo, blurry vision, histamine reactions, GI issues and night sweats.     Other CIRS resources mentioned: Surviving Mold w/ Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker     Breaking News mentioned (burying the lede, of course): Barbara will be starting a podcast with the CIRS Group starting in the New Year. The Tom Woods School of Life has an official podcast in the making. Stay tuned for more news…     Barbara's Links ActLikeBarbara.com The CIRS Group ACTLIKEBARBARA (LinkTree) Instagram Twitter     O'Leary Beef Southside Market & Barbecue from O'Leary Beef   Authentic TEXAS BBQ, FRESH from the PIT to your DOOR   Our favorite pit-smoked meats from Texas get shipped right to your door. We've done entire holiday meals with the meats sourced from Southside. I highly recommend this move, especially with Christmas upcoming. Although not strictly “carnivore,” our favorite snack is the Sausage Slammers. A slammer is a de-seeded (i.e. way less-spicy) jalapeño, stuffed with high-melt cheddar, covered with an oblong ball of Southside's ground pork sausage, which is, in-turn, covered with strips of bacon, then smoked until edible, packaged and sent on its merry way to ravenous customers across the nation. The jalapeño is somewhat of spicy on my scale, but I am a notable lightweight when it comes to discerning how spicy something is. To me, the pepper in the slammer is way more mild than the pepperoncini I had the other night…take that for what it is worth. As far as the Scoville scale goes, the stuffed pepper is much milder than a typical jalapeño—certainly a raw one—but still imparts that nice flavor. I love the Slammers so much that I made some videos for the world to see: The Opening The Cooking…and Eating The Short   What else? The Whole Smoked Brisket is phenomenal … and carnivore. The best beef sausage I've ever had is the Southside Market Original Beef Sausage. More or less carnivore…let's not nitpick unless we have to!   And if you're still in the market for (late, late—maybe the traditional 12 days of Christmas—late) Christmas gifts, take a look at Southside Market Gift Sets. You won't get the standard sausage stick-plus-cheddar stick (or wheel). You will get any number of delicious combos.   Do not forget your delightful barbecue sauce! In our family, BBQ sauce is not only cherished, but it is critiqued. Consider the Southside Market Sauces.   Might as well go ahead and use code TXBBQ15 for 15% off your order sitewide.

I had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker and we talked about Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. Dr. Shoemaker has devoted his career to unveiling the complexities of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome—caused by exposure to damp buildings, cyanobacterial blooms, dinoflagellates, spirochetes, apicomplexans, and recluse spiders: among others.Dr. Shoemaker began the first biotoxin illness practice in the US in 2002 and has treated over 10,000 patients with CIRS illnesses. His non-profit research group, the Center for Research on Biotoxin Associated Illnesses, has raised over $2,000,000 for private funding of academic research. As a medical expert, Dr. Shoemaker has testified in over 200 cases.If you haven't already done so,  we recommend you listen to the introduction to CIRS episode first.Not Getting Better with Diet?

In this episode you will learn: • What antibiotic use does to your mitochondria • The role statins play in epigenetics • How antibiotics may be doing you more harm than good Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker has been the leader in the field of research into the effects of toxic mold on the human body, and has collaborated on both national and international research on this topic. Dr. Shoemaker graduated from Duke University, and before he retired he practiced medicine in Pokomoke MD. Dr. Shoemaker has published eight books, the newest is Surviving Mold. He also has numerous publications in scientific research journals.

In this first episode of Surviving Mold we meet Gabe, the son of Kathy Adzich. Gabe was a normal college athlete, hoping to excel in the college basketball lifestyle. Driven, passionate, and motivated, Gabe quickly rose through the ranks of his college basketball program. He obtained a Division 1 basketball scholarship as an incoming freshman. Things were looking up for Gabe until one day he simply collapsed on the basketball court. He attempted to go back to practice just to hold his spot on the team that he had worked so hard for. He went back to practice, still very ill after seeing multiple doctors with no answers and no relief. In this episode, we'll learn exactly how Gabe overcame mold-related illness.

Dr Farshid Rahbar, holistic and integrative gastroenterologist in Los Angeles, joins Dr Nirala Jacobi today to speak about Lyme disease and Tick Borne Disease (TBD) in relation to SIBO and other digestive disorders. Dr Rahbar is the medical director at the LA Integrative Gastroenterology. In 2007, he completed the integrated medicine training, achieving ABIHM status.  Dr Rahbar also undertook training in anti-aging, functional, and regenerative medicine, achieving board certification through A4M.  He then completed further training through IFM - The Institute for Functional Medicine, and ILADs training. In 2013 he delved into the relationship between tick borne Lyme disease with a special interest in gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations.  Since this time he has witnessed clinical patterns involving the role of infections, acute and chronic, in causing ongoing GI related conditions and symptoms. Dr Rahbar's special interest areas include dysbiosis, SIBO, leaky gut, and measures that help these conditions. Like many other experts, he believes that GI integrity is crucial to the treatment of Lyme.  Further, both Dr Rahbar and Dr Jacobi recently presented at the 2017 Integrative SIBO Conference held in Lombard, Illinois.   In this episode How Dr Rahbar got into the field of integrative gastroenterology with a specialty in Lyme. An overview of what Lyme disease is. Tick Borne Disease (TBD) and how borreliosis is one amongst many possible infections. Testing for Lyme and TBD and the political discord surrounding this. Unexplainable chronic inflammatory conditions and how they may require testing for TBD. What are the core clinical presentations of Lyme and co-infections that Dr Rahbar sees in his practice? Key presenting components that may indicate TBD - such as fatigue, and neurological dysfunction. Anxiety, medical marijuana use, and body aches in young people, and how these may indicate chronic inflammation and warrant TBD investigation. Autoimmunity and how Bartonella infection can be implicated. What is the connection between Lyme and SIBO? SIBO as a phenotypic presentation of underlying TBD infection. Testing options for Lyme and coinfections and how accurate these are, and options for referral to experts. Mould, mycotoxicity, and chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) and how presentations for this can be similar to TBD infections, and chronic immune compromisation. How lifestyle factors and certain genetic profiles can increase risk factors and susceptibility to TBD, CIRS, and immune conditions. Speculation on nose cultures indicating the possibility of post nasal drip at night, with concomitant hypochlorhydria and/or immune dysregulation, being a risk factor for dysbiosis and SIBO. Lyme, mycotoxicity, stealth infections, and the theory that the chronic immune issues and how the microbiome decimation of the last 50 years can be impacting the ability to regain health. High methane levels in Lyme patients and how this can be related to immune suppression. Dysautonomia and small fibre neuropathy in the stomach itself, and the relationship to Lyme. GERD as a risk factor for SIBO. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and why dysfunction may occur when the autonomic nervous system is affected. The constellation of autonomic neuropathy, dysbiosis, pyloric valve insufficiency, and bile reflux and how any and all of these may lead to GERD. How is dysautonomia diagnosed, and is it only related to Lyme, TBD, and coinfections? Gastroparesis and how it may be related to dysautonomia, Lyme, and other TBD. Inflammatory cytokine release and how this cascade may relax the LES and contribute to SIBO. The tightness of the fundus and how it could contribute to reflux oesophagitis. Methane dominant SIBO and retrograde motility leading to symptoms such as burping, and nausea. Dr Rahbar's clinical pearls for SIBO patients. Dr Rahbar's phases for SIBO treatment: Preparatory phase Attack phase The place of nystatin in lower bowel dysbiosis and fungal overgrowth. Biofilm disruptors for TBDs.     Resources Dr Farshid Rahbar LA Integrative Gastroenterology & Nutrition Dr Shoemaker Mould literacy website for patients and physicians - Surviving Mold.

I'm happy to be interviewing Dr. Shoemaker with guest host Dana Howell. Dana's introduced me to a lot of the CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) and mold research. I was really impressed with her story; now she has greatly healed herself from CIRS and helps others to recover. Dr. Shoemaker is a pioneer in CIRS research, has written several books, and has successfully treated thousands of mold patients. Dana: Thrilled to be bringing two people together that have been so instrumental in my healing of CIRS. After being exposed to a moldy building in Vietnam I experienced some really chronic and excruciating symptoms that truly baffled doctors and really caused me to dig into the depths of my heart and soul to overcome. It was Dr. Shoemaker’s knowledge of biotoxin pathways that really played a huge part in my recovery. He’s really changed my life. He’s written several books, including "Mold Warriors," and also "Surviving Mold," (Joe calls that one my bible). Joe Cohen was a wonderful addition to Dr. Shoemaker’s work, and he’s integrated some other processes into the mix that have helped me to really get that much better. In the interview we cover: -Dr. Shoemaker's discovery of biotoxins (and where they come from: the biggest culprits being from mold and lyme disease) -Diagnosing CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) -Genetics -When CIRS is an underlying cause to other health issues -The relationship between CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and CIRS -Possible predisposing factors to CIRS, including lack of sunlight, priming infections and toxins, diet/lectin consumption, genetics, stress (sometimes), circadian rhythm disruption -The roles of MSH and VIP in CIRS -Brain changes measured by NeuroQuant in CIRS patients -Recent MARCoNS research

Richie Shoemaker, M. D.,is a recognized leader in patient care, research and is an education pioneer in the field of biotoxin related illness acquired following exposer to Microbes, especially molds and bacteria, growing in water-damaged buildings thus making people sick. Powerfully written, Surviving Mold follows Mold Warriors (published in 2005) as the definitive source of information on "mold" illness, its basis in inflammation, its physiology and its links to politics, lawsuits and science. Written by America's most widely published mold-treating physician, Surviving Mold has true stories, cutting edge science and a wide open expose of the shenanigans in medicine, governmental agencies and courtrooms regarding this increasingly common problem in the US and around the world. If you have an ill-defined chronic illness, or know someone who does, your first step to return to health might be to ask if there is the possibility of exposure to musty basements, wet bathrooms, leaking roofs, flat-roofed schools, office buildings with recirculated air or buildings with construction defects. If you already know that you could be sickened by water-damaged buildings, Surviving Mold will guide you through diagnosis and treatment, through remediation and return to health. Complete with multiple chapters written by guest authors, Surviving Mold is based on Dr. Shoemaker's experience with over 6000 patients he has treated from all 50 states and 30 foreign countries. The science in Surviving Mold is all peer-reviewed and published.

On this episode of Bulletproof Radio, Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, a practicing physician recovered from his own mold-related illness, talks the science behind the silent epidemic of mold. You will hear how genomics and testing is opening the door to understanding mold illness, and why microbes growing in water-damaged buildings make people sick. Have you ever wondered why some people can’t walk into a moldy building and others don’t seem to notice? Dr. Shoemaker has the answers and gives you the facts. Intimidated by the topic? Look for the Quick Reference Guide to this podcast on the Bulletproof Executive blog for terms and definitions, so you can easily be an expert too.     Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker is a practicing physician in Maryland and the author of eight books and multiple published academic papers. His latest book Surviving Mold: Life in the Era of Dangerous Buildings is a guide through diagnosis and treatment, remediation and a return to health. He is an expert on mold, having “looked death in the face” from his own mold-related illness. He lectures throughout the US on chronic inflammatory illnesses that are caused by exposure to moldy buildings and mycotoxins.
