Are your vitamins actually working? Discover five critical red flags that could mean your multivitamin quality is low, poorly absorbed, or causing more harm than good. From synthetic ingredients to dangerous fillers, learn how to choose supplements that truly support your health—not drain your wallet. This episode reveals what to look for on labels and why bioavailability matters more than you think. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Bioavailability Matters Most – Not all vitamin forms are created equal. Cyanocobalamin (cheap B12) can trigger inflammation and anxiety, while methylcobalamin is properly absorbed and utilized by your body. Always check for methylated forms of B vitamins and quality mineral chelates. Artificial Dyes Are Dangerous – Red Dye 40 and other fillers serve no nutritional purpose and are linked to inflammation, digestive imbalances, ADHD symptoms, and potential colon cancer risk. Up to 83% of supplements on Amazon contain unexpected ingredients or lack what's promised on the label. Under-Dosing Is Widespread – Most store-brand multivitamins contain trace amounts that provide no therapeutic benefit. For example, 800 IU of vitamin D won't raise deficient levels—you need at least 5,000 IU daily with K2 for optimal absorption and immune function. Folic Acid vs. Methylfolate Is Critical – If you have MTHFR gene mutations (extremely common), synthetic folic acid can cause depression, fatigue, and digestive issues. Your body needs methylfolate—the active form that actually works, especially important for pregnant women and those with chronic health conditions. Amino Acids Are Non-Negotiable – A true multivitamin should include amino acids like choline, arginine, methionine, lysine, taurine, and N-acetylcysteine. These are the building blocks of DNA and protein that support detoxification, energy production, and overall cellular function.

Episode overviewJohn Martinis, Nobel laureate and former head of Google's quantum hardware effort, joins Sebastian Hassinger on The New Quantum Era to trace the arc of superconducting quantum circuits—from the first demonstrations of macroscopic quantum tunneling in the 1980s to today's push for wafer-scale, manufacturable qubit processors. The episode weaves together the physics of “synthetic atoms” built from Josephson junctions, the engineering mindset needed to turn them into reliable computers, and what it will take for fabrication to unlock true large-scale quantum systems.Guest bioJohn M. Martinis is a physicist whose experiments on superconducting circuits with John Clarke and Michel Devoret at UC Berkeley established that a macroscopic electrical circuit can exhibit quantum tunneling and discrete energy levels, work recognized by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.” He went on to lead the superconducting quantum computing effort at Google, where his team demonstrated large-scale, programmable transmon-based processors, and now heads Qolab (also referred to in the episode as CoLab), a startup focused on advanced fabrication and wafer-scale integration of superconducting qubits.Martinis's career sits at the intersection of precision instrumentation and systems engineering, drawing on a scientific “family tree” that runs from Cambridge through John Clarke's group at Berkeley, with strong theoretical influence from Michel Devoret and deep exposure to ion-trap work by Dave Wineland and Chris Monroe at NIST. Today his work emphasizes solving the hardest fabrication and wiring challenges—pursuing high-yield, monolithic, wafer-scale quantum processors that can ultimately host tens of thousands of reproducible qubits on a single 300 mm wafer.Key topicsMacroscopic quantum tunneling on a chip: How Clarke, Devoret, and Martinis used a current-biased Josephson junction to show that a macroscopic circuit variable obeys quantum mechanics, with microwave control revealing discrete energy levels and tunneling between states—laying the groundwork for superconducting qubits. The episode connects this early work directly to the Nobel committee's citation and to today's use of Josephson circuits as “synthetic atoms” for quantum computing.From DC devices to microwave qubits: Why early Josephson devices were treated as low-frequency, DC elements, and how failed experiments pushed Martinis and collaborators to re-engineer their setups with careful microwave filtering, impedance control, and dilution refrigerators—turning noisy circuits into clean, quantized systems suitable for qubits. This shift to microwave control and readout becomes the through-line from macroscopic tunneling experiments to modern transmon qubits and multi-qubit gates.Synthetic atoms vs natural atoms: The contrast between macroscopic “synthetic atoms” built from capacitors, inductors, and Josephson junctions and natural atomic systems used in ion-trap and neutral-atom experiments by groups such as Wineland and Monroe at NIST, where single-atom control made the quantum nature more obvious. The conversation highlights how both approaches converged on single-particle control, but with very different technological paths and community cultures.Ten-year learning curve for devices: How roughly a decade of experiments on quantum noise, energy levels, and escape rates in superconducting devices built confidence that these circuits were “clean enough” to support serious qubit experiments, just as early demonstrations such as Yasunobu Nakamura's single-Cooper-pair box showed clear two-level behavior. This foundational work set the stage for the modern era of superconducting quantum computing across academia and industry.Surface code and systems thinking: Why Martinis immersed himself in the surface code, co-authoring a widely cited tutorial-style paper “Surface codes: Towards practical large-scale quantum computation” (Austin G. Fowler, Matteo Mariantoni, John M. Martinis, Andrew N. Cleland, Phys. Rev. A 86, 032324, 2012; arXiv:1208.0928), to translate error-correction theory into something experimentalists could build. He describes this as a turning point that reframed his work at UC Santa Barbara and Google around full-system design rather than isolated device physics.Fabrication as the new frontier: Martinis argues that the physics of decent transmon-style qubits is now well understood and that the real bottleneck is industrial-grade fabrication and wiring, not inventing ever more qubit variants. His company's roadmap targets wafer-scale integration—e.g., ~100-qubit test chips scaling toward ~20,000 qubits on a 300 mm wafer—with a focus on yield, junction reproducibility, and integrated escape wiring rather than current approaches that tile many 100-qubit dies into larger systems.From lab racks of cables to true integrated circuits: The episode contrasts today's dilution-refrigerator setups—dominated by bulky wiring and discrete microwave components—with the vision of a highly integrated superconducting “IC” where most of that wiring is brought on-chip. Martinis likens the current state to pre-IC TTL logic full of hand-wired boards and sees monolithic quantum chips as the necessary analog of CMOS integration for classical computing.Venture timelines vs physics timelines: A candid discussion of the mismatch between typical three-to-five-year venture capital expectations and the multi-decade arc of foundational technologies like CMOS and, now, quantum computing. Martinis suggests that the most transformative work—such as radically improved junction fabrication—looks slow and uncompetitive in the short term but can yield step-change advantages once it matures.Physics vs systems-engineering mindsets: How Martinis's “instrumentation family tree” and exposure to both American “build first, then understand” and French “analyze first, then build” traditions shaped his approach, and how system engineering often pushes him to challenge ideas that don't scale. He frames this dual mindset as both a superpower and a source of tension when working in large organizations used to more incremental science-driven projects.Collaboration, competition, and pre-competitive science: Reflections on the early years when groups at Berkeley, Saclay, UCSB, NIST, and elsewhere shared results openly, pushing the field forward without cut-throat scooping, before activity moved into more corporate settings around 2010. Martinis emphasizes that many of the hardest scaling problems—especially in materials and fabrication—would benefit from deeper cross-organization collaboration, even as current business constraints limit what can be shared.Papers and research discussed“Energy-Level Quantization in the Zero-Voltage State of a Current-Biased Josephson Junction” – John M. Martinis, Michel H. Devoret, John Clarke, Physical Review Letters 55, 1543 (1985).

Are multivitamins bad for you? How could that be? In this video, I'll share the truth about the multivitamin scam. Find out about the vitamins you should never take, supplements that don't work, and the harmful ingredients in your supplements. 0:00 Introduction: Multivitamins truth0:19 Harmful ingredients in supplements 1:45 Synthetic vs. natural vitamins 3:38 Do multivitamins really work?9:32 Natural vitamins and minerals11:17 Fake vitamins exposed! Many multivitamins are made with the cheapest, synthetic ingredients which could be doing more harm than good.The first ingredient in many multivitamins is often calcium carbonate, which is limestone! The first ingredient usually makes up the majority of the product. Magnesium oxide, another common ingredient, is very cheap and has the lowest absorption rate compared to other forms of magnesium. The term “natural” isn't regulated, so ingredients derived from sources such as petroleum and coal tar can be labeled as natural. In nature, vitamins don't exist alone; they are combined with other nutrients and cofactors, which are often missing when you take synthetic vitamins. Biochemistry can not work without cofactors. Although there are nutrients that are difficult to obtain in sufficient amounts from food, that doesn't mean they should be replaced with synthetic multivitamins.Maltodextrin is commonly used as a filler in vitamins and minerals. It's a highly refined industrial starch, classified as a complex carbohydrate, and spikes blood sugar more than sugar. Ascorbic acid is a synthetic part of the vitamin C complex. Approximately 90% is made in China from GMO corn and sulfuric acid. Many people have a genetic issue converting cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form of B12, and folic acid, a synthetic form of B9, into their active forms. This can cause negative side effects in 40% of the population.Almost all of the popular multivitamins are owned by Big Pharma, Big Food, Big Chemical, or large investment groups. For example, Centrum Silver is owned by Pfizer, and One a Day is owned by Bayer.

Laura Eisenhower, the great granddaughter of President Eisenhower, believes he created an elite leadership unit within the US military to safeguard the US Republic from the machinations of the Deep State/Cabal. She believes this White Hats military unit is behind recent UFO disclosures, and is also behind efforts to dismantle the Deep State, whose power base is rapidly collapsing worldwide. This has led to the prospects of extraterrestrial disclosure happening in the near future due to revelations by insiders such as JP who took her on a tour of Eglin AFB where he was stationed for four years.Laura believes that one of the key challenges confronting humanity is to discern between organic and synthetic Nordic extraterrestrials, the latter of which are skilled in deception, and behind the infiltration of ancient civilizations such as Lyra and organizations such as the Galactic Federation of Worlds. She believes that we need to develop our discernment and abilities as sovereign beings so we don't give our power away to extraterrestrials that are eager to help or may be compromised. Ultimately, Laura asserts that we are all expressions of infinite source intelligence and need to be on guard not to give our power away in the mistaken belief that extraterrestrials are wiser and more loving than us.

Corsi Nation examines four major stories driving political, cultural, and geopolitical transformation across America and the world. Hosted by Dr. Jerome Corsi (@Corsijerome1), this episode reveals how election controversy, radical ideological alliances, AI influence on youth, and global energy warfare are reshaping society at breakneck speed.✅ TOP STORIES COVEREDTrump calls for DOJ investigation into the “biggest scandal in American history.”Renewed demands to investigate alleged widespread fraud and systemic abuse tied to the 2020 election ignite a fresh battle over America's electoral integrity.New York's political realignment: the fusion of Marxism + Islamism.The potential rise of Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race highlights a growing ideological coalition resonating with younger progressives — signaling a major shift in urban political culture.Millions of American teens are being influenced by AI chatbots.Synthetic conversational agents can form emotional bonds, steer opinions, and change behavior — creating an emerging psychological and cultural battleground among U.S. youth.U.S. may be weaponizing energy geopolitics to fracture BRICS.New strategic positioning suggests Washington could be leveraging global energy dominance to destabilize BRICS, slow de-dollarization, and reassert U.S. financial power.Together, these developments reveal intensifying conflict between political institutions, ideological movements, tech platforms, and foreign alliances — with profound implications for national sovereignty and future generations.✅ WHY THIS MATTERS• Heightened debate over election legitimacy• Rapid ideological shifts inside major U.S. cities• AI shaping the identities & beliefs of teens• Global energy leverage shaping currency power and alliancesThis episode delivers essential insight for viewers seeking to understand the accelerating upheaval shaping America's future.✅ OFFICIAL LINKS

What happens when one of the world's most opinionated marketing professors looks beyond 2025 and starts thinking about the 2030s?In this unfiltered conversation, Mark Ritson joins Conor Byrne on That's What I Call Marketing for a fast-moving, hilarious, and deeply practical chat about what marketers are getting wrong and what still works.From pricing and profitability to AI and the Mini MBA, Ritson lays out the truths that most brands quietly ignore:

We begin this episode by highlighting a fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Joseph Gordon Levitt over the issue of “synthetic relationships” and their implications for young children. We discuss the recent invention of plastoline, an alternative fuel source that can power automobiles. We conclude by considering one of Bill Maher's recent New Rules involving intentionally disrupting our social media algorithms in order to make space for understanding of and dialog with our opponents.  

Episode description: When it comes to prenatal vitamins, the industry is failing women, period. After reviewing 27 major brands, Dr. G found that only two could prove their formulas were truly safe, clean, and effective. The rest? Ignored testing requests, refused transparency, or relied on influencer marketing instead of science. If you're pregnant or planning to be, this episode could change everything. In This Episode: • The 3 safest prenatal vitamins of 2025 — and why they passed Dr. G's strict criteria • The 25 brands that failed, including Ritual, Needed, Garden of Life, and others • Why folate (not folic acid) is critical for your baby's brain and spinal development • How a common gene variant (found in 40% of women) changes how your body absorbs vitamins • The most overlooked nutrients in prenatals — choline, DHA, iodine, and iron • What to look for in a certificate of analysis and how to verify third-party testing • How low-quality formulas can quietly harm your baby's brain, thyroid, and nervous system Key Takeaways: ✅ Only two brands met the highest standards of transparency and bioavailability. ✅ Synthetic vitamins like folic acid and cyanocobalamin (B12) may be ineffective for women with common gene variants. ✅ Look for methylated forms of B-vitamins, bioavailable choline, and algae-based DHA. ✅ Demand transparency — if a company won't share testing data, it doesn't deserve your trust.

Many patients have questions on the use of peptides. What are peptides and what are the most common peptides used as well as the safety and other concerns. BPC157 is one of the most common peptides that patients ask about. There are more but today, Ray Solano of PD Labs and I discussed peptide use and safety. Chapters: 0:00

Reports are rising of addiction, overdose and death tied to 7-OH, a potent new synthetic drug. The painkiller is a lab-made offshoot of the herbal drug kratom. 7-OH is more than 10 times stronger than morphine and has been dubbed “gas station heroin” because it's sold openly in gas stations and vape shops, including here in California. At least six people in Los Angeles have died from overdoses related to the drug since this spring, and health officials warn it could cause an addiction crisis. We'll talk about how the state is trying to curb its use.
