Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Shamanic Teachings of the Condor and The Hidden Power in Your DNA Guests, Martha Travers & Judy Wilkins Smith Ancient Wisdom, Ancestral DNA, and the Search for the Power Within A Wide-Ranging Journey Into Mystery, Health, and Human Potential In this episode of Popp Talk, host Mary Jane Popp introduces a broad conversation about the future, artificial intelligence, health, vitamins, minerals, longevity, and the hidden power inside human DNA. Before moving into those later subjects, she begins with her fascination for Native American and Indigenous teachings, asking whether ancient traditions contain lessons people still need today. The episode features two main guests: Martha Travers, discussing Andean mystical traditions and shamanic teachings, and Judy Wilkins Smith, discussing genealogy, ancestral patterns, and the power hidden in DNA. Martha Travers Opens the Door to the Mystical Andes Mary Jane first welcomes Martha Winona Travers, author of Shamanic Teachings of the Condor: Encounters with the Mystical Traditions of the Andes. Martha explains that the word “mystical” can mean different things depending on a person's experience, but for her it describes moving beyond the ordinary ego-based self into communion with the great creative forces of life. She connects mystical experience with union, comparing it to the meaning of yoga, and describes it as a return to awareness of the larger cosmic path that human beings often forget. The Eagle, the Condor, and the Reunion of Mind and Heart Martha introduces the Andean teaching of the Eagle and the Condor, explaining that the eagle represents intellect, reason, and the mind, while the condor represents intuition, heart, and the ability to sense realities beyond the five senses. She says her teacher, Taita Alberto Taxo, taught that both are necessary and that humanity is moving toward a time when the eagle and condor fly together in the same sky. Mary Jane challenges the idea by pointing to division, hatred, war, and conflict in the modern world, while Martha responds that deeper human life still contains a desire to care for one another and seek common ground. Nature as Teacher, Healer, and Shared Human Source Mary Jane presses Martha on whether ancient nature-based ways can really apply to a world shaped by computers, artificial intelligence, cities, and technology. Martha says the goal is not to go backward or force everyone into agriculture, but to reconnect each individual with the living sources of physical life: earth, water, fire, air, food, sunlight, and breath. She explains that the Andean teachings help people in any setting, rural or urban, restore harmony by reconnecting with nature and the heart. For Martha, technology can be used wisely only when people also understand whether their choices promote health, balance, and well-being. A Spirited Debate About Climate, Cities, and Going Forward The exchange becomes more pointed as Mary Jane argues that nature has been damaged by pollution, depleted land, bad air, and climate change. Martha responds that the earth, water, and land have their own healing power when given the opportunity, and that human beings are still in the middle of a larger transformation. Mary Jane questions whether people can truly come together when they live in such different realities, such as a rural landscape versus a high-rise city apartment. Martha answers that connection begins through sharing, conversation, children, common ground, and individual inner change rather than a forced return to the past. Martha's Path Through Shamanism, Community, and Andean Practice Mary Jane asks how Martha's long study with Indigenous Kichwa people in the Andes changed her. Martha explains that before that journey, she was already a mother living in a rural setting, homeschooling her children, growing food, and becoming interested in shamanism. After meeting Taita Alberto Taxo through a gathering brought to Michigan by John Perkins of Dream Change, she traveled to Ecuador and began learning with his family and community. Martha says the experience did not change her into something entirely different so much as affirm and deepen a path she was already walking, bringing her solitary mystical experiences into a living community of joyful practice. Judy Wilkins Smith and the Superhero Hidden in the Family System The second featured conversation begins when Mary Jane welcomes Judy Wilkins Smith, a systemic work and constellations expert, Fortune 500 executive coach, and author of The Hidden Power in Your DNA. Judy says people often sense that there is a larger version of themselves waiting to be expressed, much like the hero figures they admire in comics, fantasy, and popular culture. She explains that a person's “superhero” power may not be a cape or dramatic ability, but qualities such as kindness, happiness, persistence, generosity, or the part of them that naturally opens doors when amplified and used with purpose. Dreams, Goals, Disney, and the Magic of Persistence Judy shares her own example of wanting to own Disney timeshare because Disney and magic had mattered to her since childhood. She says she achieved that goal through persistence, small savings, kindness, and staying awake to opportunity. Mary Jane connects this to the old lyric from South Pacific: “You've got to have a dream.” Judy agrees that dreams and goals matter because they move people beyond their current circumstances. She says people should not necessarily want less, because wanting more can help humanity evolve, especially when people share what they create with those they love. Genealogy Beyond the Family Tree Mary Jane challenges Judy's emphasis on genealogy, saying she personally does not care much about the past and wants to move forward. Judy responds that looking backward briefly can be wise because ancestral patterns echo into the present. She describes several levels of genealogy, beginning with the family tree and moving into deeper awareness of what happened in ancestral countries, cultures, and family systems. Using Mary Jane's Romanian ancestry as an example, Judy explains that a history of conquest, survival, and repeated hardship may leave emotional patterns that descendants either repeat unconsciously or transform consciously. Emotional DNA, Family Patterns, and the Aha Moment Judy explains that people inherit not only physical DNA but also emotional DNA, including patterns of thoughts, feelings, actions, and inactions. These patterns may come from parents, grandparents, countries of origin, family trauma, or ancestral survival strategies. Mary Jane repeatedly questions how people can actually change these patterns, and Judy says the first step is to identify what is operating, then create a goal larger than current circumstances. Judy also describes constellation work as a way of making hidden family or organizational dynamics visible, using representatives or elements in relation to one another so people can see unconscious loyalties and arrive at an “aha” moment. Parents, Expectations, and Choosing One's Own Life Mary Jane and Judy discuss how parents often want better for their children, but may also try to live through them or push them toward dreams they themselves never fulfilled. Judy says the key question is whether a child is living their own life or someone else's. She explains that a person's growth is never only individual because each person belongs to a family system, whether they like it or not. When one person changes, stretches, and evolves, that shift affects the larger system. Mary Jane reflects on how her own mother may have wanted a more traditional life for her, even while being proud of her radio and television career. Finding the Next Step and Living the Life You Actually Have As the interview closes, Judy advises listeners to begin by asking who they are, where they are, what they want, and what excuses are keeping them from moving forward. She says people should examine their thoughts, feelings, actions, and inactions around a desire, then ask what those patterns mean about themselves and others. Judy directs listeners to JudyWilkins-Smith.com and says The Hidden Power in Your DNA is widely available. Mary Jane closes the segment by encouraging listeners to find their own special “aha” moment and reminds them of the Confucius quote that people have two lives, and the second begins when they realize they only have one.

Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:09 Hi there, how are you? Bob Miller 00:00:10 Excellent! Pedaling as fast as humanly possible, but doing okay. Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:14 Good, good. Well, I’m looking forward to our conversation today. This should be amazing. Bob Miller 00:00:20 Yeah, it should be a lot of fun. Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:22 Yeah, anything that’s off-limits for you in, our conversation? Bob Miller 00:00:28 No. Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:29 Okay, anything you want me to make sure we cover for you? Bob Miller 00:00:33 Well, I mean, is it okay if we put a little plug-in for our software? Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:35 Absolutely. Bob Miller 00:00:36 Yeah. Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:37 Absolutely. Bob Miller 00:00:36 Yeah. Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:37 Absolutely. Bob Miller 00:00:38 Hey, can we… can we do a screen share? Yes, we can. Yeah, because I want to show you some maps, and… Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:43 Okay. Things like that, yeah, so… Perfect. So just let me know when you want to do screen share. Bob Miller 00:00:48 Okay. Dr. Deb Muth 00:00:49 And yeah, feel free to plug your software wherever you want to. Bob Miller 00:00:53 Okay, well, good. Let me pull up a, a slide for that, and give me one second, I just want to shut the door to my office to get the noise down. Dr. Deb Muth 00:01:01 No worries. Bob Miller 00:01:16 And, how should I refer to you? Dr. Debb? Dr. Muth, what do you like? Dr. Deb Muth 00:01:18 Dr. Deb is great, or Deb, either way, I’m pretty informal, so… Bob Miller 00:01:22 Yeah, and… Bob is fine for me. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Why people feel like they need this, son. Special name, it’s like, seriously. Dr. Deb Muth 00:01:33 Right? I agree. Bob Miller 00:01:35 When I work with my clients, it’s like, Dr. Millison, just, just bop, just, just bop. Dr. Deb Muth 00:01:41 Yep, that’s how I am, too. Just call me Deb, it’s good. Dr. Deb Muth 00:01:44 They feel a little awkward with that, you know? They’re not used to that, but… Bob Miller 00:01:48 Alright. And you’re a naturopath, medical doctor. Dr. Deb Muth 00:01:52 A nastropathic doctor and a nurse practitioner. Oh, nice. Yeah, so I got the best of both worlds, right? Bob Miller 00:01:58 Yeah, damn. Okay. Alright, so here we go… There we go. Alright, so I got that ready, and then I will do a, I will do a screen share. I think you’re gonna really, appreciate what we’ve come up with. We’ve come up with the concept of, Cellular CPR. Dr. Deb Muth 00:02:23 Oh, nice! Bob Miller 00:02:24 And that is, construct the cell membrane, Protect the cell membrane. And restore it if it’s damaged. Dr. Deb Muth 00:02:32 Love that. Bob Miller 00:02:34 I love that. Yeah, so that’s what we’re focusing on, and then how, You know, we want to get to the point that, you know, most people think of genetics, they think of, like, 23andMe or Ancestry. Dr. Deb Muth 00:02:44 Yeah. Bob Miller 00:02:45 And then you have the professional geneticists who are looking at, you know, odd things that could create a disease. We’re looking at functional genomics. Dr. Deb Muth 00:02:54 Which is so much better. Bob Miller 00:02:56 Yeah. Are you familiar with what we do here, or… Dr. Deb Muth 00:02:58 A little bit, a little bit. So, it’ll be new to me, too, so I’m excited. Bob Miller 00:03:03 And how much time do we have? Dr. Deb Muth 00:03:04 We have an hour, give or take a little bit on either side. Do you have a hard stop anywhere? Bob Miller 00:03:10 No, no, I put a, I moved my clients around, and I don’t have anybody till, 3.30, so we’re good. Okay. Dr. Deb Muth 00:03:16 Perfect. Alright. Bob Miller 00:03:18 It’s like we’re getting started early as well, so… Dr. Deb Muth 00:03:19 Yeah, we’re getting started a little bit early, so that’s good. Bob Miller 00:03:22 Yeah, I just got my office cleaned up, so… Dr. Deb Muth 00:03:23 Okay, good. All right, are you all set to get started? Bob Miller 00:03:28 I’m good to go, my friend. Dr. Deb Muth 00:03:29 I’m gonna just record a little intro and a little bit of a, hook for people, and then we’ll get started. I’ll ask you to kind of tell us a little bit about yourself, and then we’ll just take this conversation wherever it’s supposed to go. Bob Miller 00:03:39 Okay, you got it. Dr. Deb Muth 00:03:40 Alright, sounds good. So what if the reason you’re not healing isn’t your diet, your supplements, or your labs, but it’s actually your genes? Dr. Bob Miller is uncovering how genetic variants, when combined with modern toxins, explain why some of us stay sick no matter what we try. Today, we’re talking genetic pathways, detox blocks, and the new science every wellness warrior needs to know. Welcome back to Let’s Talk Wellness Now, the show where we uncover the root causes of chronic illness, exploring cutting-edge regenerative medicine, and empower you to heal from the inside out. I’m Dr. Deb, your medical detective, and today, our guest, Dr. Bob Miller, is a true pioneer in functional genomics. He’s a board-certified traditional naturopath and the founder of Neutrogenetic Research Institute. And he’s the leading groundbreaking research on how genetic variants influence chronic illness, inflammation, and detoxification. His work has been recognized on international stages, uncovering links between genetic expression and conditions like Lyme disease, mast cell activation, or MCAS, and mitochondrial dysfunction. I’m so excited to talk to Dr. Bob today. He is gonna reveal some things that even I don’t know about, so I’m excited to learn alongside of you guys. So… Dr. Bob, let’s get started. Tell us a little bit about yourself, and kind of how you got on this journey. Bob Miller 00:05:04 Well, that’s, that’s interesting. I was sort of like a mid-career coming to the natural health field, because in my early 30s, I found myself with a severe case of ulcerative colitis. Bob Miller 00:05:15 And I was in the hospital for 21 days. probably within hours of death, pleading to death. And they told me I’ve got one option, and that is cut out the colon and wear a bag. Didn’t sound like a lot of fun. Dr. Deb Muth 00:05:27 Not an option I would want. Bob Miller 00:05:29 So, you know, the medical folks wasn’t real happy with me, but I said, yeah, I’d like to explore some alternative things.Never thinking that I’d get into this field, and then I just, you know, worked with some herbalists and things that I found absolutely fascinating. So, that’s how I got into this around 30 years ago. And, haven’t looked back since, and just having a… having a blast as we now move into how our genetics impacts things. So, that’s what we’re gonna… that’s what we’re gonna talk about today. Dr. Deb Muth 00:05:58 I’m excited to talk about this genetic thing. When you started over 30 years ago, what kind of patience and problems first inspired you to dig deeper into that root cause healing and kind of get into the genetic piece of it? Bob Miller 00:06:10 Sure. Well, you know, as a… now, I’m in a part of the country called Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where there’s a lot of Amish and Mennonite, and they gravitate towards these things.So, this is their first thing to do, and that doesn’t work, then they’ll go other routes. So, you know, back then, we just saw typical, you know, a little tired, constipation. You know, a little bit of fatigue, arthritis, those kind of things. But things have changed dramatically over the years, as people are now getting more chronically sick. You know, it’s worse than it’s ever been. And what we’re finding is the, the culprits Primarily is mold exposure and Lyme disease. When people get those two together, they’re just… it’s an inflammatory cascade that nobody can seem to unravel. So that’s where we spend a lot of our time. And we’re also spending a lot of time looking at mental health, like ADD, ADHD. And, we give… this year I’ll be speaking at three autism conferences. And we can dig into that a little bit as to why we think we’re seeing such a dramatic increase. And aside from autism, that used to be 1 out of 1,000, now it’s 1 out of 33, or 23. You know, we’re also seeing dramatic increases in ADD, ADHD. People are stressed out. And today, I think we’ll have the time to actually go through and show how environmental factors combine with genetics to cause that to happen. So we’ll… we should have a fun visit here today. And today, I think we’ll have the time to actually go through and show how environmental factors combine with genetics to cause that to happen. So we’ll… we should have a fun visit here today. Dr. Deb Muth 00:07:37 This should be a fun visit. We can cover lots of topics. I am so excited. So, you founded Nutri Genetic Research Institute in 2015. What did you hope to accomplish, and what kind of surprised you in your findings so far about that? Bob Miller 00:07:51 Well, you know, let’s back up at what, you know, genetics is used for. Everybody’s familiar with 23andMe and Ancestry that, you know, tells you where your ancestors came from. Then you have your professional geneticists. I mean, these are people with a degree in genetics. And they’ll look for, you know, very odd sort of things that are prone to relate to a disease. So there are disease-related genetics. Well, in functional, we don’t look at either of those. We look at For example, how you’re breaking down your fats and utilizing them. How you’re recycling your glutathione. How you might be handling your iron. And none of those are disease-causing on their own.And none of those are disease-causing on their own. But when they pile up on you, and then combine that with environmental factors, that’s when things start to go south on us. So, that’s what we’re doing, we’re looking at patterns. And our first foray into this was, we did studies on Lyme disease. And our first foray into this was, we did studies on Lyme disease. So, we looked at, like, I think 50 people with Lyme disease. We looked at their genome. So, we looked at, like, I think 50 people with Lyme disease. We looked at their genome. And we found patterns that were more evident in those with Lyme. Now, this doesn’t… these genetics don’t mean you get Lyme, it just means if you get Lyme, you react worse to it. And we found patterns that were more evident in those with Lyme. Now, this doesn’t… these genetics don’t mean you get Lyme, it just means if you get Lyme, you react worse to it. So, as you know, some people get Lyme, they go on a round of antibiotics, and they’re done. So, as you know, some people get Lyme, they go on a round of antibiotics, and they’re done. Others have a little more struggle, and then others are struggling terribly for years. So there’s an old adage of genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger. Dr. Deb Muth 00:09:14 Yeah, that is so true, and I think when we’re talking about Lyme and mold and things like that, we forget sometimes that our genetics can predispose us to be more sensitive to those things, and if we have genetic pathways where we don’t clear things properly, it’s harder for us to get them out of the body. And then you add on that whole rain barrel effect that we’ve always used as a functional medicine term, right? If the barrel’s half full, you’re okay. If it’s full, and now it’s spilling over, it’s a bigger problem. Have you guys found, too, that some of these environmental things actually are changing the genetics of people, or how they’re processing their own genetics? Bob Miller 00:09:53 Well, let’s go back to, Genetics 101. But we’ll go back a little bit further. So, what an interesting mechanism, what a miracle the body is. Bob Miller 00:10:03 Fats, carbohydrates, proteins, drink water, breathe air, expose the sunlight, and somehow everything gets made. I mean, when you just step back and think about that, it’s like, It’s pretty darn amazing. Dr. Deb Muth 00:10:15 I always tell women, you know, the fact that we get pregnant and we have healthy pregnancies and births is a miracle, because if we had to try to control that, that wouldn’t work so well. Bob Miller 00:10:25 Right. Well, that’s another miracle. These microscopic sperm and egg, human being, 9 months later, it’s like. But even inside of us. We are making our hair, our skin, our nails, our blood vessels, our ATP, our energy, it’s all being created. Well, that gets created by enzymes. So, enzymes take one substance, combine it with something else, and make something new. Then another enzyme comes along and does the same thing. Your DNA is the instructions on how to make the enzymes. So, when we are conceived. If it’s a, if it’s a female, of course, it’s the XX, the two chromosomes. You know, we’ve… everybody’s seen those… the genetics that… Listed pair. So, if it’s a female, the father donated the X enzyme. And the mother has no choice but to give the eggs, so that’s female. If the father donates the Y, you have a male that’s in chromosome number 1. Then 2 through 23 is the rest of the instructions on how to make enzymes. So, what can happen? We can get what are called SNPs, single nucleotide polymorphisms. And SNPs just mean that the instructions to make the enzyme’s not quite as good. So, if one parent gives a SNP on the making of an enzyme, The enzyme’s fine. It works. But, general rule of thumb, It may only work at 70-80% of efficiency. Now, a good analogy is think of an 8-cylinder and a 6-cylinder car. If parents give you good information, that’s like having an 8-cylinder car. If one parent gives you that snip, it’s like having a 6-cylinder car. Now, is a 6-cylinder car a fine car? Sure. It’ll get you from point A to point B, but it’s just going to have the power of an 8-cylinder. Then if both parents give you a SNP on the same enzyme, it may be 30-40%, and that’s like having a 4-cylinder car. Sits in the driveway, looks the same, puts gas in it, everything. But if you’ve got a 4-cylinder car. Probably not a good idea to go cross-country pulling a trailer behind you up and down mountains. Dr. Deb Muth 00:12:29 This is true. Bob Miller 00:12:32 So… We can get an 8-cylinder, 6-cylinder, or 4-cylinder enzyme. Now, if it’s not under a lot of stress, if that 4-cylinder car is just taking you to the bank and the grocery store. It’s just as good as an 8-cylinder car. But if you gotta pull that trailer, and there’s a lot of stress on it, being mountains, it’s gonna struggle. Now, there’s one other little caveat to this, and that is some genetic mutations are gain-of-function. They actually work faster. Now, we have enzymes that do all kinds of things. We have enzymes that make and recycle our antioxidants, but we also have enzymes that make inflammation. No, that’s a good thing, because if we get a virus or bacteria, if you didn’t make inflammation to kill it, well, we’d all die of infection. So, you know, we tend to think of free radicals as bad, antioxidants as good. They both play an important role. But interestingly, some of the major enzymes that make inflammation, they can be overactive. They can be turbocharged. And when they’re stimulated by environmental toxins, they overreact. Bob Miller 00:13:40 And therein lies the problem. When they overreact, we have a problem. Bob Miller 00:13:46 So, if we have genes that overreact when stimulated. And then the enzymes that take care of inflammation are underactive. Then you’re gonna be more inflamed. You know, the majority of people that, you know, come for functional medicine Or naturopathic help, or… Inflammation that they can’t seem to get under control. Dr. Deb Muth 00:14:06 Right. Bob Miller 00:14:07 And we will be, you know, during this hour, we’re going to look at some of the pathways that make that happen. So, what we can do then, we can’t change our genetics. When you’re conceived, that’s the hand you’re dealt. When your life would be over, if someone would take some tissue and measure, it’d be exactly the same as conception. Does it change. Bob Miller 00:14:28 The enzyme’s ability to do its job may be compromised. Because remember I said there’s a, the enzyme takes a cofactor. So an enzyme takes substance A, cofactor, make substance B. Well, if that cofactor’s not there, the enzyme’s not going to work either. So, you could have an 8-cylinder car, and if there’s no gas in it, it’s not going anywhere. So… It’s the strength of the enzyme, it’s the cofactor to do the A to B conversion. And that’s what we’re going to get into. So, many people say, well, where did these SNPs come from? Nobody knows for sure. Sometimes they’re what’s just called de novo, when the sperm and egg go together, the instructions get mixed up a little bit. We do believe a lot of it came from a long time ago, when we were almost wiped out by sexually transmitted diseases. And those STDs were altering the genes when the conception, in other words, when the sperm went into the egg, the STDs were interfering. And causing the problem, so… I often joke, if you want to blame somebody. Blame your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents for, being a bit promiscuous, so… Dr. Deb Muth 00:15:31 Yeah, for being… having a little too much fun, right? Bob Miller 00:15:35 So, we don’t know for sure, but, you know, there are some that, But most of the SNPs that we get inherit from our parents. So, if you look at a child. And you look at the SNPs. 99.9% of the time, it came from one of the parents. Dr. Deb Muth 00:15:50 In identical twins, do they have the exact same identical makeup? Bob Miller 00:15:54 Yep, Dr. Deb Muth 00:15:56 But not in fraternal twins, correct? Bob Miller 00:15:59 No, no, those could be different, Jeff. Dr. Deb Muth 00:16:00 It could be different because they have different sacs, they’re not sharing that same genetic makeup. Bob Miller 00:16:04 Yeah, so keep in mind, both your mother and your father have, you know, the two And so you get one from one parent, one from another. Dr. Deb Muth 00:16:13 So… Bob Miller 00:16:14 Interesting situation. I had, 3, 3 boys. And, we were looking at an enzyme related to breaking down oxalates. Now, the mother and father each had one SNP, and that’s called heterozygous. Three boys, and they all come together, they’re Amish boys, they’re a lot of fun. And I looked at their genomes, and the one boy didn’t have any SNPs at all. And one had won. And the other one had two. Dr. Deb Muth 00:16:41 Interesting. Bob Miller 00:16:42 So, we don’t quite know how these things get handed off, but with the parents each having one, you could have a child with none, one, or two. So, the one, his ability to break down oxalates, which is fine. The other one was slightly impaired, and the other one was dramatically impaired. So, you can have 3 children, and it all depends what the parents have. Now, if a parent has a homozygous, or 2 copies. And the other parent has nothing. Every child will have one. Okay. If both parents are homozygous, that they both have two, Every child will have two. Dr. Deb Muth 00:17:19 too. Bob Miller 00:17:20 Yes, so that’s the way it works, but, you know, but it’s somewhat rare that both parents are homozygous on an enzyme, but it can happen. Dr. Deb Muth 00:17:27 Do we think that infections today, like Lyme disease or mold exposure, things like that, if the parent, the woman, primarily, I’m thinking, is pregnant, and she actively has these infections. Can those infections affect the genetics, kind of like a past sexual transmission did where we thought back in the day? Bob Miller 00:17:47 Yeah, I… I mean, I’m not that much of a geneticist to answer that for sure, but my thought would be no, that at conception, the pattern’s made. Dr. Deb Muth 00:17:55 Okay. And then that’s… that’s the hand you’re dealt. Bob Miller 00:17:58 Yeah. So, I tell people we have good news and bad news. The good news is we can compensate for the weakness. The bad news is we can compensate for the weakness. Dr. Deb Muth 00:18:09 That is so very true. Bob Miller 00:18:11 Yeah, we can’t, because I often get asked, so we’ll do some things now, and we’ll check my genes again, and they’ll be better. It’s like, nope. Dr. Deb Muth 00:18:18 Oh, – – Bob Miller 00:18:19 You gotta play the hands you’re dealt, so… Dr. Deb Muth 00:18:21 That’s right. Bob Miller 00:18:22 You can test your genetics… if you’re looking at the same enzyme, you can test it every year. It’s not gonna change. It’s like the blueprint. Dr. Deb Muth 00:18:30 It’s good and bad, right? It’s the one test you only have to do once in your lifetime. Bob Miller 00:18:34 No, unless, you know, like, our. Dr. Deb Muth 00:18:36 All the time. Bob Miller 00:18:37 Yeah, now our test looks at, called the Functional Genomic Analysis Test of your genomic Resource. We look at 220,000 steps. Dr. Deb Muth 00:18:46 Wow, that’s a lot. Bob Miller 00:18:47 That’s not all of them. Dr. Deb Muth 00:18:49 Right. Bob Miller 00:18:50 So, maybe in the next year, we’re gonna come out with our third version of the chip. And then, if someone wants to get those new things that weren’t on it, they’d have to repeat. But whatever we measured is gonna stay the same. Dr. Deb Muth 00:19:03 That’s a lot of SNPs to look at. Bob Miller 00:19:05 Keeps us busy. Dr. Deb Muth 00:19:06 But there’s still, but there’s still SNPs that we. Bob Miller 00:19:09 That we’d like to have that we don’t have, so… Bob Miller 00:19:11 We started out with version 1 on our genetic test, then we worked with version 2, and we’re already compiling a list of what version 3 would look like. So if somebody has our version 2, And we’re saying, you know what, it’d be nice if we could see these, well, then you’d repeat, but it won’t change what you already know, so… Dr. Deb Muth 00:19:29 Got it, got it. So, when you started out, and you started looking at the research of Lyme disease and chronic infections, which detox pathways are most important for people who struggle with those conditions? Bob Miller 00:19:43 Okay. You know what might make sense as we do a screen share, and I’ll actually show you the pathway. Does that make sense? Bob Miller 00:19:48 Alright, so… let’s see if I… let me just press the share… Dr. Deb Muth 00:19:52 Yep, you should just be able to press share. Bob Miller 00:19:54 And… number 2. Okay. Are we seeing the screen there? Bob Miller 00:20:01 Okay. Dr. Deb Muth 00:20:02 So, this is a map that we made. Bob Miller 00:20:05 And by the way, this is not… All-inclusive of all the things we look at, but we believe this is a core issue. So, where we’re going to start here, there’s something called the microglia. And the microglia are glial cells. They’re in the brain and the central nervous system. And they’re very interesting little creatures, because most of the time, and this is just a drawing of what they sort of look like. Most of the time, they’re in what’s called the M2 anti-inflammatory mood. What that means, these little guys pick up dirt, debris, Recycle them. Turns on an enzyme called interleukin-10 that’s anti-inflammatory. And just kind of does general housekeeping. And just kind of does general housekeeping. However, when a trigger comes along. However, when a trigger comes along. They… it’s the same glial cell, but it moves over to a very pro-inflammatory enzyme. A pro-inflammatory glial cell. And it triggers these 3 enzymes, Actually, these four. That are pro-inflammatory. Tumor necrosis vector alpha, Interleukin-6. NF Kappa B, Inos. Now, these create inflammation. So you might think, well, why is that good? Well, if you have some foreign invader, virus, bacteria coming in, parasite. If you didn’t have these guys coming to the rescue, you would just die of infection. So, these guys are your friend unless they’re your worst enemy. Because TNFA, and we’ll show you when we actually do a demo account, TNFA can be overactive. So, in other words, it over-responds. Interleukin-6 can be overactive. And if Kappa-B can be overactive. The INOS, and I’ll explain each of these as we go through a demo, can be overactive. Now, what that means is, you’re very good at killing virus and bacteria. But this is where autoimmune disease comes in, and just inflammatory conditions. Now, this is just speculation, but we think what happened is, as you know. Thousands of years ago, we didn’t have refrigeration, we didn’t have sewer, we didn’t have pure water, and we didn’t have antibiotics. So, if you made it to 40, you were an old-timer, because everybody was dying of infection. So, what we believe happened is, by what’s called natural selection, Having these overactive. A thousand years ago was to your advantage. Dr. Deb Muth 00:22:31 Hmm. Bob Miller 00:22:32 But now… We have pure water, we have refrigeration, we have sewers, we have antibiotics. But now we have environmental factors that are stimulating them. Now it’s to our disadvantage. And we’ll talk about that a little bit as it relates to the hemochromatosis genes and maybe the G6PD. Dr. Deb Muth 00:22:48 Yep. Bob Miller 00:22:49 Now, why are we becoming so inflamed? Let’s look at the triggers. Now, one of my, favorite expressions is. I was born all the way back in 1954. Dr. Deb Muth 00:23:01 And it was a different world back then. Bob Miller 00:23:05 These are some of the triggers. And we’ll get into these, but right now, high fructose corn syrup, And the high-fat diet. High fructose corn syrup only came about in 1968. So now we’re being exposed to high fructose corn syrup. Then… we didn’t have these, these viruses like COVID. Dr. Deb Muth 00:23:26 Yeah. Bob Miller 00:23:27 Now, there’s now pretty strong evidence that COVID Was actually, you know, made as a gain of function. It’s debated, and I’m not taking an opinion on it, but there’s some people who believe Lyme disease was also a part of experimentation. Dr. Deb Muth 00:23:40 Go. Bob Miller 00:23:41 Then we have molds, and it appears as though mold is getting stronger. you know, 20 years ago, when I was seeing folks, mold wasn’t on the radar. I would say 7 out of the 10 folks we speak to today have mold problems. Yeah, 20 years ago, we talked more about mold allergy being an issue versus mold toxicity being an issue. Right. So… I know some folks are, you know, speculating what’s happening, but one of the theories out there is that EMF is strengthening mold. I don’t know if you ever heard that theory, and I don’t… Dr. Deb Muth 00:24:13 I have. Bob Miller 00:24:14 I’m not claiming it’s true, but it’s an interesting theory. Then even, you know, your black mold from water-damaged buildings. Then our air pollution is getting worse. We’re getting more toxic metals. Dr. Deb Muth 00:24:26 You know, if we have a… Bob Miller 00:24:27 You know, we’re gonna look back someday and say, what were we thinking, smearing aluminum into our armpits? The, what were we doing putting mercury in our teeth? Then, you know, glyphosate. When I was a kid, there was no glyphosate. So, all of these herbicides and pesticides. Polychlorinated biphenols, And then EMF. So, we love our cell phones, you know, and I think unless you, or in the middle of the desert, or down in a cave, you’re being exposed to EMF somewhere. So, you know, we have our cell phones with us, we have, We have Wi-Fi, the towers are everywhere. And we don’t know long-term, but we may find that this can… this creates some inflammation. And I don’t know if you get any folks, but do you have any folks that have… are they EMF sensitive? Dr. Deb Muth 00:25:16 Oh yeah, we have a whole bunch of them. Bob Miller 00:25:18 Yeah, and then if you have any TBIs, So, plenty of things here. that will stimulate into the microglia, M1. Now, you could say, well. We’re all pretty much exposed to the same thing. Why do some people get hit harder than others? So here’s where we’re gonna start. There’s an enzyme called Nrf2 and RF2. And Nrf2 is the enzyme that senses when there’s inflammation. And turns on hundreds of anti-inflammatory enzymes. We’ll show when we do the demo, you can have genetic weakness on NERF2. And NERF2 inhibits and slows down microglia M1. supports M2. Now, if it’s not complicated enough, there’s an enzyme called KEEP1. And KEEP1 inhibits NRF2. And you can actually have gain of function on keep 1, that makes Keap 1 stronger. So… A lot of the people who land on my doorstep So… A lot of the people who land on my doorstep Both parents gave a mutation on KEEP1, making it overactive. Both parents gave a mutation on KEEP1, making it overactive. Dr. Deb Muth 00:26:31 Hmm. Dr. Deb Muth 00:26:31 Hmm. Bob Miller 00:26:32 Suppressing Nrf2, nerve 2 might be weak. So, nobody’s putting the brakes on, M1. And by the same token, Nerve 2 supports M2. Then there’s a process called mTOR and autophagy. mTOR stands for mammalian tard of rapamycin, the growth of new cells. And then autophagy, taking our dead cells and recycling them. We need a balance between the two of them. If we didn’t have mTOR, the sperm and the egg would never become the baby, the baby would never become the adult, we wouldn’t make new cells. But our cells are constantly, you know, the old cells dying off. Autophagy is where we take that debris from the cell and recycle it, just like a farmer Plows the crop under at the end of the year. The dead plant then becomes the fuel for the spring, your dead cell becomes the fuel for the spring, and that’s autophagy. So we’re gonna look back someday and say, what were we thinking? We give our animals growth hormones so they get fatter faster. Oh my. So, we consume those animals, and inventory runs faster. Now, for anybody who’s, You know, maybe above 40, 45 years old. Think back when you were 12, and what did girls look like? They were primarily flat-chested little girls. Now they look like 16-year-olds. Because environmentally, we’re jacking up mTOR. So, mTOR stimulates microglia M1, suppresses microglia M2. Probably 80% of the folks we visit with. This is the part of the problem. NRF2 is weak. mTOR is strong. Environmental factors come along. And this guy gets carried away. He doesn’t do that burst and move back. Stays here. We’re calling that How environmental factors create a locked-in, pro-inflammatory. and neurotoxic phenotype. In other words, once it starts, it just keeps… Feeding upon itself. Alright, so what happens now when microglia is overactive. it triggers these 3 enzymes, TNFA, N of kappa B, And interleukin-6. Each one of these can have genetics that make them run stronger. Then it stimulates an enzyme called NLRP3, Which makes what are called inflammasomes. Now, guess what inflammasomes can be? Your best friend or your worst enemy? Because they will, if you’ve got, again, a virus or bacteria, or possibly even some bad cells in the body. They will zap them. Well, that’s good. Unless it’s overactive. Unless it’s overactive. And then what it does, through interleukin-1 beta, makes excess glutamate. And then what it does, through interleukin-1 beta, makes excess glutamate. Anxiety, gut inflammation, OCD, ADD, autism. And, you know, glutamate, we’ll talk about that a little bit, but glutamate makes you intelligent, highly motivated go-getter. but can also be excitatory. And then, look what it does. Let’s see, do I have the drawing tool here? Yes, I do. Okay. So, it comes down through here, Makes the glutamate. Comes back up through here. through the ADORA 2A enzyme, Then we’ve got a feedback loop that feeds upon itself. Then, through interleukin-18, we make histamine. and mast cells. And then through histamine receptor site number 1, we come back and spin it. And now you’ve just got this spinning feedback loop. So, the glutamate will make you anxious, the histamine will give you allergies and make you anxious. And you’re allergic to everything, and you’re feeling horrible. Now, it doesn’t end there, Dr. Dad. It then goes on to make something called gast dermins that creates pyroptosis, where it actually starts punching a hole in the cell membrane. And you’re only going to be as healthy as your cells are. Just a little background. You know, we’re made up of trillions of cells, and each one of them has what’s called a lipid bilayer, made from lipids, which comes from fats. And you’re only going to be as healthy as those membranes are. So that’s why we coined an interesting phrase. Cellular CPR. Construct the cell. Protect the cell. And restore the cell membrane. And we believe that’s going to be revolutionary in the functional medicine world. So… It’s not hard to figure out that if you start punching holes in the cell membrane, that’s not a good thing, okay? Bob Miller 00:31:22 Now… There’s an interesting molecule called NAD. Thicotide adenoside dinucleotide. And anybody who’s in the, you know, listening to the health podcasts and things, they’re… They’re, they’re learning about NAD. And I’m going to show you a chart later, all the good things that NAD does, but For the most part, it helps what’s called sirtuins. And sirtuins are quite interesting. If anybody’s looking at longevity. The sirtuins is where they’re looking at.Because sirtuins turn on good things. Turn off bad things. And I’ll show some charts on that later. So for right here, this sirtuin uses NAD, to slow down NF-kappa-B. CERT 2 uses NAD to slow down an ORP3. So, if we’ve got genetic weakness on these, or we don’t have enough NAD, We don’t hold this pathway back. Make sense? Dr. Deb Muth 00:32:24 Yeah, makes perfect sense. Bob Miller 00:32:25 Now, I’ll show this a little bit later. So, people are like, oh, well, I’m gonna start taking some NAD. Dr. Deb Muth 00:32:31 Right. Bob Miller 00:32:32 And there’s functional doctors who give NAD intravenous. It was just this morning, I was talking to a woman who said, Oh my gosh. I went and got intravenous NAD, and it took me a month to recover from that. Dr. Deb Muth 00:32:45 Hmm. Bob Miller 00:32:46 what happens is, and I’ll show this in a little more detail, there’s an enzyme called CD38, that’s stimulated by NF-kappa-B. And it takes NAD, To make intracellular calcium. that stimulates NLRP3 and actually makes things worse. So, if we have this guy upregulated, and I’ll show a chart what does that. taking NAD will make you worse. Again, when I go into the software, I’ll show you that whole pathway, so… I would encourage people, you know, just don’t go out and start taking massive amounts of NAD, you know, stick your toe in the water, see how you do. Because everything you’ve heard about, how good it is, is true, unless this guy says, oh, thank you very much, let me make more inflammation. Now, this might be part of our innate immune system, that if we have some pathogen that’s gonna kill us. By golly, we want that to happen. But if this is happening by environmental factors, Then it’s detrimental. So the immune system that protected us a thousand years ago now might be turning on us because of the environmental factors that we showed earlier. All right. Then there’s an enzyme called PARP that’s NAD-dependent, and that actually repairs strain breaks in your DNA. Now, the next thing that happens… is there’s an enzyme called NADPH oxidase that gets stimulated. and something called INOS. Now, I’m sure most people know about nitric oxide. It’s a gas that dilates your blood vessels. That’s why sometimes they’ll even give people drugs, nitroglycerin, to boost their nitric oxide. That’s why people are doing beetroots and other things to boost their nitric oxide. But there’s an OS3 enzyme that makes the nitric oxide that’s good for blood flow. But there’s an INOS That makes nitric oxide to kill pathogens. probably might be the third or fourth time I’ve said this. That’s a good thing, unless it isn’t. So, if it’s killing some pathogen, great. It was just misfiring. it combines… With superoxide that’s made by this enzyme, and makes something called peroxynitrite, which is one nasty free radical that chews you up and spits you out. So, the NOx enzyme, NADPH oxidase, uses NADPH, To make this free radical called superoxide. If we have time, we’ll get into it. NADPH is what your body needs to recycle your antioxidants.So, I coined the phrase, the NADPH steel. Where the NOX enzyme takes this very important NADPH, And rather than being useful, makes superoxide. Now, again, is that fine if you’ve got some bacteria to kill? Of course. But if it’s just chronically running, it’s just making all this chronic inflammation. Then it makes something called hydrogen peroxide. And we need to clear hydrogen peroxide by 3 enzymes, catalase, thyroid reduction. And glutathione peroxidase. If we have genetic issues on here, or we don’t have the cofactors. There’s something called the Fenton reaction, discovered in 1895 by Dr. Fenton. Where hydrogen peroxide combines with iron to make what are called hydroxyl radicals. And guess what they do? They create lipid peroxides, That damages your cell membranes. Now, again, the body’s pretty darn amazing. We have glutathione, And here’s where your body’s taking glutathione and recycling it. But look who’s needed to recycle it. NADPH. So, if this guy up here is chewing it up, We don’t recycle our glutathione. And then an enzyme called glufon peroxidase 4, Takes this damaged lipid and repairs it. So, here we’ve got this protecting, we want to protect it by not having this happen. But then we also need this guy to do the restoration. So, there’s a lot that can go wrong in here, Dr. Deb. Dr. Deb Muth 00:37:07 There’s a lot that could go wrong. And I can imagine some of my listeners are thinking that lipid peroxidase, is that the same thing as what they’re thinking of when we talk about lipids and cholesterol? Is that the same process that’s happening there? Bob Miller 00:37:22 Well, no, no, the lipids can be used to make cholesterol, but here we’re talking about where they’re going to build the cell membrane. And they’re being… and they’re being, destroyed. If anybody would like to see a visual representation of this, just go on YouTube. And type in, ferrooptosis Animation. cool little video, it’s about 3 minutes long, and it shows the lipids coming over, being oxidized, and now GPX4 fixes them, so… YouTube, Pharaoptosis Animation, cute little video. It’s just that really… Shows vividly what we’re… what we’re talking about here. Now, this is… Dr. Deb Muth 00:37:59 And so this is very common, too. Like, a lot of people do hydrogen peroxide IVs. Dr. Deb Muth 00:38:04 And so, if somebody doesn’t know their genetics, they could have a problem with doing those, just like they could doing the NADHIVs, correct? Bob Miller 00:38:13 Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I’ve talked to so many, you know, of course, the hydrogen peroxide kills pathogens. I mean, that’s what it does. So… but I’ve spoken to so many people that said. I had one client that said they’ve never been the same after having one hydrogen peroxide infusion. Dr. Deb Muth 00:38:30 Interesting. Bob Miller 00:38:31 Yeah. So… it can be… I see why people use it, because it. Bob Miller 00:38:36 pathogens, But on the other hand. And now’s a good time to speak about… I don’t have it on here, but there’s a, there’s an enzyme called the HFE gene. And that is what causes you to absorb iron. And there’s mutations in it that cause something called hemochromatosis. Were you overabsorb iron? Now, true hemochromatosis is when both parents give you a mutation. But there’s now growing evidence even a heterozygous can cause a little bit more iron absorption, not to the human chromatosis point, but overabsorption. So, if you overabsorb iron, And you have too much hydrogen peroxide that’s not cleared, All kinds of inflammation. Now, what’s happened is sometimes this inflammation Will damage the red blood cells. And some well-meaning doctor says, oh, you need some iron. And they take iron and it makes it worse. So, can’t tell you how many people I’ve said, you’ve got the overabsorption of iron, and they say, well, that can’t be right, because I’m low in iron. Well, that could be because it’s being chewed up here. Dr. Deb Muth 00:39:40 Sure. GPX1 and TXN turn it into, to water. The, catalase turns it into water and oxygen. Dr. Deb Muth 00:39:58 Now, I see a lot of my clients who have mutations or SNPs on that GPX gene, on that glutathione gene. And they really struggle to clear a lot of their toxins. Bob Miller 00:40:12 Sure. Dr. Deb Muth 00:40:14 Yeah, absolutely. Well, GPX4. Bob Miller 00:40:18 is what, repairs, but you can see GPX1 Is what uses glutathione. To turn hydrogen peroxide. So, but it all depends upon having enough glutathione. Dr. Deb Muth 00:40:30 Yeah. Bob Miller 00:40:31 Well, guess who controls making a glutathione? Dr. Deb Muth 00:40:34 Nerf 2. Bob Miller 00:40:37 So, if you have a keep one weakness, or strength to two… I’m sorry, keep one is too strong. Nrf2 is too weak. You don’t make glutathione. So, when a lot of people do that, it’s like, well, I’m gonna take glutathione. Dr. Deb Muth 00:40:51 Right. Bob Miller 00:40:52 And some do great, and some do poorly. You know, because… and I’ll show this on one of the other charts. You can see here that the, The glutathione has to be recycled. And if we don’t recycle it, it actually turns into superoxide free radical. So… NADPH are the cofactors, For taking the oxidi… here’s oxidized glutathione, here’s reduced. So, this is a good glutathione. After it does its job, you can see it becomes oxidized.We need to recycle it. Well, if we have weakness on the enzyme that does that, or a weakness in Nrf2, or not enough NADPH. The oxidized glutathione never gets recycled. So, I’ve talked to a lot of people who said, oh, glutathione made me so sick, and say, well. Dr. Deb Muth 00:41:43 Yeah. Bob Miller 00:41:44 You need it, but you need to recycle it. Dr. Deb Muth 00:41:46 Can you speak for just a brief moment, too, about MTHFR? That is a very popular gene, it’s all over social media as the major gene, but can you speak to a little bit about that, and how that fits into this whole process of things? Because it is just such a small piece. Dr. Deb Muth 00:42:04 understanding genetics. Bob Miller 00:42:06 Yeah, to be honest, it drives me nuts. Dr. Deb Muth 00:42:08 Me too. Bob Miller 00:42:11 Alright, so… You know, there are people on social media I won’t say what I think, I’ll be kind. But… But the, And, you know, they might mean well. But they talk about, if you have MTHFR and COMT and PEMT, that’s… oh my goodness, that’s horrible, and we’ll fix that for you, and you’ll be fine. Bob Miller 00:42:36 it just irritates me to no end. And it really could get anybody who’s doing this legitimately in trouble. I mean, I’m afraid someday, you know, there might be some cracking down on this kind of nonsense. Now, to answer your question about MTHFR. Dr. Deb Muth 00:42:51 I mean, it really is, but I’ll tell you what, why don’t we hold that thought until I go to another map and I can actually… Okay. Bob Miller 00:42:56 But the real… the cliff notes is the MTHFR puts a methyl group on your folate, which is needed, but it has gotten way, way, way too much attention. And people learn they have MTHFR, and they start taking a multivitamin with methylfolate, then they take a B vitamin with methylfolate. Dr. Deb Muth 00:43:13 And they’re pushing it too hard. Bob Miller 00:43:15 Yeah. So I can’t tell you how many people I’ve helped by saying, stop it. Dr. Deb Muth 00:43:20 Yeah, take less of it. Bob Miller 00:43:21 Take less of it, yeah. So, yeah. Yeah, there’s a… If somebody, say, ranked the enzymes at their level of importance, MTHFR might be 40 or 50 on a scale of 100, you know. Keep one Nerf two. big deals. Dr. Deb Muth 00:43:40 deals. Bob Miller 00:43:41 NQO1 that I didn’t even talk about yet, NQO1, takes your, NA… your NAD goes into NADH, To make electrons for the electron transport chain. you need NQ01 to bring that back. If that’s not working, and I’ll show you on the NAD map how disastrous that can be. Now, the next piece is here, and I think You know, if you talk to any school teachers and say, if you’ve taught for more than 10 years, how are the kids today? Every one of them says, more ADD, ADHD, more autism. Just look at human beings, we’ve never been so agitated. You know, everybody, and it might be a social media thing, but people take a position on something, and if anybody doesn’t share that position, they view them as the enemy. Dr. Deb Muth 00:44:29 And it’s kind of scary what’s happening to us. Bob Miller 00:44:33 So, we can’t agree to disagree anymore. We see anybody who has a differing opinion as the enemy. And, you know, there was… there’s people that didn’t have Christmas dinners together, because they had political differences, like… Dr. Deb Muth 00:44:44 Excuse me. Bob Miller 00:44:45 can’t you put your political differences aside to have Christmas together, you know? Dr. Deb Muth 00:44:49 Right? Bob Miller 00:44:50 become that, you know, no matter what your position is, and I’m not saying anyone’s right or wrong, I’m just saying. You know, in the old days, they used to say that the Republicans and Democrats in Congress would argue policy and then go have dinner together. And now everybody’s all up in arms, angry. Dr. Deb Muth 00:45:05 Yeah. Bob Miller 00:45:06 So… There’s likely multiple reasons for that. But let me show you one of them. That, you know, to what degree this is… very important, we don’t know, but I think We’re beginning to believe this is very important. So, there’s something… there’s a neurotransmitter called GABA. And God buys the don’t worry, relax, be happy. Chill. Okay. Dr. Deb Muth 00:45:31 Nobody has enough of that anymore. Bob Miller 00:45:33 Well, yeah, you’ll be surprised what I’m gonna show you. So, let me see if I can find a, Let me see if I can find the right slide here. Let me look for it here. So, there’s something called a GABA receptor site. And here you can see… This is a neuron, and this is where you, The neuron normally is excitatory. However, there’s normally low chloride in the neuron. Dr. Deb Muth 00:46:09 Hmm. Bob Miller 00:46:10 So, GABA itself is neither relaxing. For excitatory, all GABA does, it opens up what’s called a chloride channel. And then chloride, which has a negative charge, will flow into the neuron. Follow me there? Dr. Deb Muth 00:46:26 Yep. Bob Miller 00:46:27 And as it does, it changes this from a positive charge to a negative charge, And it’s relaxing. and inhibitory. Dr. Deb Muth 00:46:34 Hmm. Bob Miller 00:46:36 Now, on the other hand, there’s enzymes called NKCC1, That will push chloride in. and KCC2 that will bring chlor… oops and bring chloride out. And then there’s a sodium channel. And, sodium has a positive charge. And glutamate will push that in. So, as long as this is happening. And GABA says, receptor sites, open, chloride goes in, Chill. However, If NKCC1 Pushes extra chloride in. KCC2 doesn’t pull it out. and GABA hits the receptor site, the GABA comes flowing out, Sodium comes in, And now it’s excitatory. So Gabba didn’t change. GABA just opened the receptor site, that’s all it does. Dr. Deb Muth 00:47:33 Yeah. Bob Miller 00:47:34 But it’s the chloride balance that’s going to determine whether this is relaxing or not. Now, these are the things that go along with when they lose that KCC2 or gain NKCC1. Pain and sensitivity, burning electrical, neuropathic pain. Normal touch hurts. Sound and light sensitivity. Tinnitus can flare. Headaches and migraines. Seizure tendency. Body jolts. Spasticity, cramps, stiffness, startle reflex. Trouble falling asleep, non-restorative sleep. Anxiety, stress, reactivity, that’s what we have now. Hyperarousal, panic-like surges, irritability, racing thoughts. Brain fog, slowed processing, working memory slip-ups. Mental fatigue. Episodes of racing hearts, sweaty palms, guts on edge. Those are all the things that happen when this GABA switch occurs. Now, here’s what happens, and this is what I’m going to be presenting at an autism conference. When you have a newborn, they need that NKCC dominant to develop. By early childhood, it should… or, sorry, early adulthood. we should move over to the KCC dominant, that’s the taking the chloride out. Nice-looking 25-year-old boys, functioning very well. However, when we get microglia M1 upregulated. Because of environmental toxins, processed foods, Tylenol, aluminum. they stay in NKCC1 dominant, and there’s ADD, ADHD, Autism, the whole spectrum. because… They’ve not moved over to the… They’ve not moved over to the KCC2. And again, this is caused by… Environmental factors. Stimulating the microglia. And then, interleukin-1, interleukin-18 weakens KCC2, interleukin-1 beta, Strengthens NKCC1. high chloride. We open up the chloride channel, In Rebell Excitatory. So, I think when, When the pediatricians get ahold of this, they’re going to be very excited to know that This could be why we’re seeing such a rise, and not just autism, but ADD, ADHD, anxiety, the whole shit mess. Dr. Deb Muth 00:49:58 thing. Bob Miller 00:49:59 Yeah, so… and you can see NF-kappa-B stimulates that. These stimulate it, and I think that’s why everyone’s getting so anxious. Now, there’s a little bit more to it, and we’ll get into this when we look at some of the maps, but… The, the glutamate, Which is excitatory. will stimulate the NMDA receptor, make more glutamate, And glutamate will inhibit KCC2. And then we also need an astrocyte To, take both ammonia And glutamate, and… Turn them back into glutamine. And I’m going to talk to you a little bit about arachidenic acid, and if we have too much arachidenic acid. or TNFA is upregulated, that doesn’t happen. Ammonia goes up, and there may be multiple reasons for this, but this is a reason why some of the autistic kids do flapping. Dr. Deb Muth 00:50:49 Hmm. Bob Miller 00:50:50 Because they’re not clearing their ammonia. And you can tell if somebody has high ammonia by… they get that old person smell, you know. Dr. Deb Muth 00:51:00 Yup. Bob Miller 00:51:01 your vehicle cycle’s not taking out the, the ammonia. Now, last pathway here. There’s growing interest in mast cell activation. So, back here, we talked about peroxynitride. And that will stimulate mast cells, and those are white blood cells that are your best friend, unless they’re your worst enemy. Then it’ll make histamine. And there’s enzymes called histidine decarboxylase that’ll make more. Dr. Deb Muth 00:51:28 I’m sure everybody’s heard of DAO, the enzyme that degrades histamine. Yep. Bob Miller 00:51:31 We can have genetic weakness, we don’t make that. There’s an enzyme called histamine and methyltransferase, That, That breaks down the histamine. Then if we don’t do that, it’ll get stuck in the histamine receptor site. And then it’ll make something called, renin. Which will cause angiotensinogen to turn into angiotensin. One, that turns into angiotensin II,And that’s where people make aldosterone, where they’ll get the, The swollen ankles and high blood pressure. But interestingly, there’s an enzyme called ACE2, that takes this guy and turns it into angiotensin 1-7, Which is anti-inflammatory and also inhibits… TNFA. Now, you can have weakness on ACE2, But… and anybody’s saying, that sounds familiar? Dr. Deb Muth 00:52:25 That’s where COVID comes in, using ACE2. Bob Miller 00:52:28 And now we just found there’s literature that if you get COVID long enough, it can actually make ACE2 not be able to work as well. So look what it does. It comes down here, stimulates the NADPH oxidase, More superoxide. More peroxynitrite. And we’re on a cycle here. We’ve actually named this the Home Cycle Hypothesis, the proposed feed-forward loop. That just keeps feeding on itself. All being caused by… Primarily, The environmental factors. But hitting those who have genetic weakness the hardest. That’s why. Dr. Deb Muth 00:53:08 To the people. Bob Miller 00:53:09 Don’t live in a moldy house. One person is sick as can be, and the other person says, well, you must be imagining things, because I don’t feel anything. Dr. Deb Muth Yeah. Same thing with long haul, right? Two people can both get sick, one gets sick and never seems to recover, and somebody else gets sick, and they have absolutely no problems with it at all. Bob Miller 00:53:30 Sure. Well, think about it, if you get COVID, and ACE2 is weak, and some of this other stuff is going on. This thing just starts feeding upon itself. Dr. Deb Muth 00:53:38 Keep creating more inflammation, more complications, nothing’s calming down. Bob Miller 00:53:43 Yeah. Now, you, you ask about, MTHFR. So, this is the, this is the, the software called Functional Genomic Analysis. There’s a demo report we have. So, let’s talk a little bit about, MTHFR. So, we actually have a map called a methylation map. Now, what happens is, when you do your saliva test, you, you know, you spit, you put some saliva. in a collection kit, goes to a lab, takes out the DNA data, sends it to the computer, and now you can actually see it visually. Okay. So, it’s gonna take a second for this, data to load up, it’s, and each of these Circles, each of these ovals, is an enzyme. And the data gets loaded up to see where it is. So, until it gets loaded up here, I didn’t preload this. There it goes. So… The primary thing about methylation is There’s a nasty substance called homocysteine that, if it’s too high, can really be detrimental. The body takes methylfolate, and combines with methyl B12, To bring this back up to methionine. And then through the MAT genes, we make SAMI, S-adml methionine. Which is involved in so many processes. Then after it does its thing, it turns back into homocysteine. And this thing needs to keep spinning around. That’s why, you know, it’s a good idea to keep homocysteine at, do you have a number that you’d like? 7, 8? What do you like for a number? Dr. Deb Muth 00:55:24 Yeah, I like mine below 7. Bob Miller 00:55:26 Yeah. So if the homocysteine goes too high. It, caused all kinds of problems. So, here’s where you ask about the MTHFR. So, here you can see on this individual. I click on MTHFR, and you can see it comes up here, here’s the C677. And you can see here where it says, variants. I’ll… I’ll draw in case somebody’s having a hard time seeing that. So, you can see there’s nothing in there. That means there’s no genetic mutations. If one parent would have given a mutation, there’d be a 1. If both parents did, there’d be a 2. Now, here’s why Yes, methylation is important, I’m not saying it isn’t important, but look at this MTHFRC677. In my software. Only 42.5% of the population does not have a mutation. 44.7% have won. 12.9 have 2. So, this isn’t some rare, oh my god, I’m gonna die… Kind of thing, yeah. Dr. Deb Muth 00:56:27 Right. Bob Miller 00:56:28 So, And then what happens is that, and again, I’m not dismissing methylation, I… we could do a whole show on methylation. Bob Miller 00:56:36 get it. But I think that what people are doing is they’re, they’re learning about MTHFR, they get it measured, they panic. They start taking massive amounts of methylfolate, which many times is to their detriment. Dr. Deb Muth 00:56:50 Well, it’s… and isn’t it true, too, with MTHFR, like, you have to also look at MTR, MTRR, and the more we stack up of those, the more complicated than MTHFR can be. It’s not… it’s not as simple as just saying MTHFR 677 versus 1298. It’s more complex than that, kind of like what you’ve already shown with some of the other things. There’s more to it than just that one little sliver. Bob Miller 00:57:17 Oh, sure, well, let’s take a look. So, remember I said there’s a cofactor? One of the cofactors is called FAD. Just a Bob Miller observation, that’s all. But when people have trouble with their riboflavin and they don’t have enough FAD, They’re doing much worse than people who have just a C677. So, right here, you could have perfect C677th. And if you don’t have the cofactor, it’s not gonna work, okay? Dr. Deb Muth 00:57:48 And as you said, there’s an MTR enzyme. Bob Miller 00:57:51 that takes methylfolate and methyl B12, to spin it around. So, here on this individual. here’s your… here’s your B vitamins, or I’m sorry, your B12s. There’s an enzyme called TCN1 that takes it from the stomach into the blood. Then there’s other enzymes that take it from the blood into the tissue. And if you’re having trouble here. Well, then you’re not going to have this working, so… Even if you don’t have MTHFR, And you have MTR, like this, no, I’m sorry, this person doesn’t. But they have the MTRR, and then they don’t have enough B12, this isn’t gonna work, aside from that. And then there’s a middle pathway. And then there’s enzymes called the MAT1. they take the methionine to the salmon. If that’s not working, we stick… we get stuck in methionine. So, it’s, it’s not just an MTHFR. And then, one of the things that people forget about. is through these CBS enzymes and CTH, We make cysteine, which is needed to make glutathione. The master antioxidant. So, it really is that… I call it the, The 3D chess game played underwater. Dr. Deb Muth 00:59:07 It really is. I mean, I see people who have CVS, COMT, glutathione, MGHFR genes. And some of them function just fine. Like, they have Like, I look at this person and I’m like, oh my gosh, I don’t know how they’re functioning because they’re double mutated on so many pathways, but yet they don’t have a lot of symptoms, they don’t have a lot of complications. Somehow their body has figured out a way to adapt to what it has so it can stay alive and it can function at a high functioning level. Bob Miller 00:59:36 Yeah, and they may be, you know, eating right? Yeah. Staying out of a moldy house. reducing stress. So, it’s diet, it’s stress, it’s genetics, environmental factors. So, yeah, we can’t just say somebody’s gonna be good or somebody’s gonna be bad. You know, some people get scared, oh, I got all these, it’s like, well… Bob Miller 00:59:56 Are you living in a moldy house? You know, and if you live in a moldy house and your glucuronidation pathway doesn’t do well, or if you’re, you know, a smoker, or you’re constantly eating junk food, I mean, all. Bob Miller 01:00:07 things come together. Although, you know, when we focus on genetics, we’re well aware that this is just a piece of it. You know, you could have identical twins, Genetically, and if one… Is exposed to mold and smokes and drinks and stressed out. They’re gonna be a whole lot sicker than their sibling. Bob Miller 01:00:28 Yep. Dr. Deb Muth 01:00:29 Yeah, it’s that concept of taking twins, and one gets raced with one family, and one gets raced with another family, and they don’t have the same… problems that… that each other have, you know? It’s a very unique situation, we don’t think about that enough. Bob Miller 01:00:44 Alright, so again, genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger. So, if you’ve got a loaded gun, but you don’t have the triggers, you’re okay. Dr. Deb Muth 01:00:53 Yeah. Bob Miller 01:00:54 Yeah. So, remember I said I was going to talk about NAD? So, here’s NAD, and what it does, it turns into NADH. And what NADH does, it, Comes down this pathway, what’s called the electron transport chain. And that makes your ATP, that’s your energy. So, if this wasn’t working, we wouldn’t be alive, because we wouldn’t have energy. So it donates an electron, that’s why it’s called electron transport chain. So, we need NAD, To make this, to make the energy. But remember I said that NQ01, this would probably be, like, on my top 10 list of… Bob Miller 01:01:36 Much more important than MTHFR. This one takes NADH back to NAD. If we’re stuck over here, We’re low in this NAD+, But what happens is, NQO1 also provides CoQ10. And CoQ10 Is what’s needed for the electron transport chain to flow. So if we get too many electrons up here. And they don’t turn them into energy. They make a nasty free radical called superoxide. Okay. Now, NAD plus also makes NADPH, And that is needed. Remember I said we need to recycle our antioxidants. So, if we have a problem with FAD from riboflavin. Yeah, we don’t have enough NADPH, Glutathione’s not getting recycled, and you’re gonna be inflamed. And you take glutathione, you’ll feel worse. There’s another enzyme called thimoredoxin. Same thing, needs NADPH and FAD. And same way with your nitric oxide, there’s an enzyme called NOS3, That makes the nitric oxide that dilates your blood vessels. And if we don’t have enough NADPH or fat, You’re gonna make superoxide. Rather than nitric oxide. Now, remember

For most Black Americans, the family tree stops at a wall built by slavery. Dr. Gina Paige co-founded African Ancestry to tear down that wall. In this episode, she explains how her company uses DNA to trace Black people back to specific African countries and ethnic groups — not vague regions, not percentages, but actual present-day nations and peoples. Gina walks Simma through the science in plain language, explains why African Ancestry gets results other DNA companies can't, and talks about what happens inside people when they finally know where they come from. She also addresses the fears many Black Americans carry about genetic testing — Henrietta Lacks, Tuskegee, and who owns your DNA after you mail it in. This conversation is about identity, agency, and reclaiming what slavery tried to erase. Timestamps 02:15 — Meet Dr. Gina Paige The co-founder who started her first business at age 8 — before the internet. 04:30 — What African Ancestry actually does Tracing Black people back to specific African countries and ethnic groups before the transatlantic slave trade. 06:45 — From Colgate-Palmolive to Howard University How a corporate marketer partnered with a genetic researcher to build something that had never existed before. 09:20 — Why genealogy fails Black Americans Black people weren't counted as human beings in US records until the 1870 census. DNA is the only way back. 11:30 — The science, made simple "If your mother's yellow and your father's blue, what color are you?" How mitochondrial DNA holds the key. 14:15 — Why everyone gets "Nigeria" from other DNA tests African Ancestry has 33,000+ samples from 35 African countries. The closest competitor has 6,000 — half of them Nigerian. 17:00 — How African Ancestry is different Other companies look at the mixing. African Ancestry looks at the lines that never mixed. 19:40 — Charlamagne Tha God and Ebro's roots revealed Mende people in Sierra Leone. Masa people in Cameroon. Specific. Named. Real. 21:30 — What happens when people get their results "We don't come from people who were enslaved. We come from doctors, healers, astronomers, philosophers, kings and queens." 24:45 — Why erasing Black history is a losing game Gina on power, pride, and what oppressors don't want you to know. 27:20 — Your DNA, protected African Ancestry is the only company that cannot sell or share your genetic data. The lab is contractually required to destroy your DNA after testing. 29:50 — The 23andMe bankruptcy and what happens to your DNA Why insurance companies and pharmaceutical firms should never have access to your genetic information without your knowledge. 32:10 — Henrietta Lacks, Tuskegee, and the case for participating anyway Gina's honest answer to Black friends who refuse genetic testing out of fear. 36:00 — One test, one whole family Why Simma's sister taking the test means Simma already has her answer — and so do 25 of her cousins. 39:15 — Citizenship, name changes, and going home The 12 people who gained Sierra Leonean citizenship. The artists, authors, and families whose lives changed after one result. 42:30 — What to look for in any at-home DNA test Gina's three rules before you spit in a tube or swab your cheek. Guest Bio Dr. Gina Paige is co-founder and President of African Ancestry, Inc. In 2003, she pioneered a new way to trace African lineages through genetics. She has revealed the African roots of Oprah Winfrey, John Legend, Chadwick Boseman, Spike Lee, Condoleezza Rice, and the King family. A Washington, DC native and lifelong entrepreneur, Gina launched her first business at age eight and spent her early career running brands at Colgate-Palmolive and Sara Lee before building African Ancestry into the world's largest collection of indigenous African lineage samples.   Click here to DONATE and support our podcast All donations are tax deductible through Fractured Atlas.

This week's stories: Healthy Diets That Offset "Bad Genes" A major UK Biobank study of over 100,000 people found that following any one of five healthy dietary patterns was associated with up to 3 extra years of life — and the benefit held regardless of genetic predisposition to longevity. Your DNA is not an excuse. The macro pattern matters more than the perfect protocol. • Sources: -https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ads7559 -https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12904179 -https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/eat-well-live-longer-study-5-healthy-diet-plans-longevity Micro-Habits in Sleep, Activity, and Diet That Extend Life Researchers built a composite "SPAN" score combining sleep, movement, sedentary time, and diet quality and found that small improvements across all four — we're talking minutes per day — cut mortality risk by up to 64% when stacked together.

Do your genes really decide how long—and how well—you live?In this hot health topic episode of Accelerated Health, I talk about how genes set longevity—and how you can change the outcome. Your DNA is not your destiny, and science now proves that you have far more control over your health than you may think.I tackle why genetics may load the gun, but your lifestyle pulls the trigger. Daily choices, environmental factors, and habits can either activate or silence longevity genes, directly influencing how you age and how long you thrive.If you've ever been told, “it runs in the family,” this episode will challenge that belief and empower you with a new perspective on health and aging.You'll learn how epigenetics shapes longevity, the biggest myths around genetics, and practical ways to support healthy aging at any stage of life.Your genes may set the foundation—but you change the outcome.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement• Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care  • Accelerated Cogniblast® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/cogniblast-nootropic • Accelerated AMINOS® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-aminos • Accelerated Methylene Blue® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-methylene-blue-supplement Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

For years I meditated on returning my body to its original blueprint. Then I realized — that blueprint was corrupted by inherited trauma.So I updated the meditation:Instead of healing back to baseline, I'm mutating my DNA toward the truest resonance of love my body can be, hold, and become.It's already cooperating.I'm reversing astigmatism. Healing autoimmune patterns. Becoming mushroom, seaweed, and beet. (Literally eating things I swore I hated.)But beyond healing — which frankly, I find dull and tedious at this point — I'm interested in mutation.What could I become if I were beyond needing to repair?I recorded a meditation for anyone ready to shift from maintenance mode to evolution mode.Your cells are listening. Your DNA is responsive. The mutation is already underway.Trust the becoming.✨ Explore more:@arielgracefull

What if I told you you're already it?In this soul-awakening solo transmission, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD unpacks the deeper science and spirit of manifestation through the lens of eternal life wisdom, frequency embodiment, and quantum materialization. This isn't about the “law of attraction” as you've heard it. It's about becoming the frequency of what you seek—and remembering that what you seek is already seeking you.From revealing why traditional manifestation methods often fall short to decoding the sacred mechanics of the Kathara Grid, base pulse rhythm, and liquid light DNA, Dr. Lee takes us on a multidimensional deep dive into how eternal source energy flows—and how we can align with it to co-create a new reality from the inside out.This episode explores radical truths about identity, divine embodiment, and the true power of your scalar sound tones and water—the memory carrier of your eternal self.

Blaise Agüera y Arcas explores some mind-bending ideas about what intelligence and life really are—and why they might be more similar than we think (filmed at ALIFE conference, 2025 - https://2025.alife.org/).Life and intelligence are both fundamentally computational (he says). From the very beginning, living things have been running programs. Your DNA? It's literally a computer program, and the ribosomes in your cells are tiny universal computers building you according to those instructions.**SPONSOR MESSAGES**—Prolific - Quality data.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we've got a packed lineup of cannabis news from around the world. Here's what we're covering: Macky: “Dialing down dope”  Trump White House moves toward easing restrictions on marijuana. A big shift could be coming for cannabis in the U.S. as the Trump administration signals a softer stance on marijuana. We break down what this means for legalization and the industry moving forward. “Your Cannabis Habits May Be Written in Your DNA,” Scientists Say. A new study explores how genetics might influence how people use cannabis, from consumption habits to personal tolerance levels. Margaret: “Cannabis drinks are having a moment even as Americans consume less alcohol.” – CBS News. A deep dive into how cannabis-infused beverages are carving out a space in the drinks market, attracting both new consumers and seasoned users looking for an alternative to alcohol. Billy: “Cancer Patients to Benefit From Affordable Cannabis Medicine Program Launching in Colorado.” A groundbreaking new program aims to make medical cannabis more accessible and affordable for cancer patients in need. “Patients Aim to ‘Build Bridges' as European Medical Cannabis Series Comes to London.” Patients, advocates, and industry voices gather to push for better access to medical cannabis across Europe.

Your DNA tells the truth about your identity, and your actions prove it. In this powerful message, Bloodlines Matter, Dr. Conway Edwards breaks down 1 John 3:1-10 to reveal that spiritual growth isn't about behavior modification... it's about identity revelation. Discover what it means to live as a true child of God, not an orphan striving for approval. Learn how the blood of Jesus defines your identity, inheritance, and integrity—and how the cross becomes your family tree.

The greatest trauma we inherited wasn't the pain itself, it was what that pain created: the belief that we were separate from God. Religion reinforced this lie for control, teaching us that holiness lived somewhere outside of us.The truth is, your body was designed as God's temple. Your DNA, nervous system, and pineal gland all carry the blueprint of divine design. Scripture calls it the serpent lifted up, the seven seals, the winding stairs, the single eye that fills the body with light. Science calls it DNA, neuroplasticity, and bioelectric current. Kundalini Yoga calls it the serpent rising.In this episode of The Sovereign Sisterhood Podcast, we uncover how generational trauma, colonization, and religion severed our connection to God within — and why rebuilding the inner temple through meditation is the true gift of generational healing.You'll discover:✝️ What scripture really means when it calls you “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14, John 12:36, Matthew 6:22).

Episode 131 – Part 3 of Season 2: Forever Chemicals Detox 101 Your DNA is not a life sentence. While genetics play a role in health, research shows that everyday exposures from your home and environment generally matter far more in determining long-term outcomes. In this episode of Practical Nontoxic Living™, Sophia Ruan Gushée introduces how household toxic exposures, specifically PFAS (forever chemicals) exposure, can influence cancer. You'll hear why most cancers and many chronic conditions are driven not by genes, but by environmental and lifestyle factors. Most importantly, you'll learn simple, practical steps you can take at home to reduce exposures and protect your family's health.

Could you disappear today? In the Wild West you could roll into a new town, pick a fresh name, change your hat, and start over. Now - not so much. In this episode I compare that fantasy with life in 2025, where cameras, Face ID, fingerprints, passports, and databases keep a steady record of who and where we are. I joke about wanted posters drawn from guesswork, moonshine dentistry, and the idea of trying on new roles the way actors do. We talk about aliases vs biometrics, privacy vs convenience, and why “be yourself” might be the only workable strategy. You can still change paths, learn new skills, and evolve your style. You just probably can't vanish like “Ricky Barbarossa.” Your DNA is everywhere.Seems weird that for most of human history you could walk away and never be seen again. No ties. No responsibility. Nowadays everybody know where you are or where you've been. There is a digital paper trail following you no matter how much you try to get away. Is that a good thing? Or a bad thing?Opening song “Chiptune Fighter" written by SCOREWIZARDS.All production by Cody Maxwell.Opening graphic assets by motionstate.sharkfyn.commaxwellskitchenpodcast.com

The pyramids of Egypt. Ancient wonders, yes. Tombs of pharaohs? Maybe not. For centuries, these structures have captivated us, but what if the story we've been told is just the surface? Today, we're diving into the real secrets of the pyramids – secrets that could rewrite history and challenge everything we think we know about our past.Let's start with the Pyramids of Giza, a site that continues to baffle scientists, historians, and mystics alike.Beneath these pyramids, researchers are starting to uncover structures two kilometers deep—yes, you heard that right—kilometers.These aren't just random underground chambers; they're precise, machined, and part of a highly advanced technology.And here's the kicker: this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are pyramids buried under sand, hidden under oceans, and even on other planets.Thousands of them.Each one a quantum device capable of generating energy, healing, teleportation, and more.So why is this information surfacing now?Why are we, as a collective, beginning to rediscover the true purpose of these ancient structures?That's what we're going to explore today because it ties directly to a much larger story—our story.The Divine Matrix and the False MatrixTo understand the pyramids, we need to zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Before Earth became what we know today, it was part of something called the Divine Matrix, or the organic universe.Imagine a time when we existed in an Eden-like realm, fully connected to our cosmic roots.Telepathy, bilocation, and interdimensional travel weren't sci-fi concepts;they were our natural abilities. We could move through Stargates—natural portals on the planet that connected us to other worlds, other dimensions, and even other galaxies.But then, something happened.Earth, along with many other planets, became part of what we now call the False Matrix.This was a system of disconnection—a deliberate unplugging from the cosmic web.The Stargates were shut down, and we lost our ability to travel freely.We lost our memory of who we were, where we came from, and what we were capable of.That's why so many of us feel this deep, unshakable loneliness,even in a world filled with billions of people. It's not just personal;it's planetary.And here's the twist:You choose this experience.You volunteered to come here, to experience this disconnection, and to find our way back. It's a paradox, I know.On one hand, we were hijacked into this system.On the other, we agreed to it as part of a cosmic experiment—a journey of rediscovery.Who are we when everything is stripped away?What do we become when we find our way back to the truth?The Halls of Amenti and the Akashic RecordsNow, let's bring it back to the pyramids.Underneath these structures lie what are known as the Halls of Amenti.These were once great underground chambers that served as exit points from the False Matrix.Imagine walking into a sacred space, your body acting as the key to unlock a portal that would take you home.That's what the Halls of Amenti were designed for.But as the False Matrix evolved, these exit routes were sealed off.The Halls of Amenti were destroyed, and we were left with no way out—at least, not physically.That's when the focus shifted inward.Our bodies, our DNA, became the new Stargates.And here's what is critical for you to embody.Your DNA isn't just a biological blueprint;it's a living Akashic Record.It holds the memory of your soul's journey, your cosmic lineage, and your divine potential.As an Akashic Practitioner, I like to state that your DNA is e Bridge to All that IS!The Akashic Records are:An energetic bridge between spiritual and physicalA dynamic archive of past, present, and futureAn infinite flow of eternal knowingAn eternal source of healing balanceAnd a spiritual medium that's available to everyone.Metaphorically, think of the Akashic Records as a powerful, ever-flowing river of energy. This river connects the spiritual realm (which is infinite source) with the physical world (which is timeline and lower density of structure as the riverbed).It carries within it the complete history of your soul – past lives, current challenges, and future potentials – all interwoven and accessible at any point along its course.Healing and gaining support through the Akashic Records involves stepping into this river's current, allowing its energy to cleanse, balance, and reveal the wisdom contained within its flow.By aligning with the river's current, you gain clarity, open to the eternal knowledge of the universe and find your way towards greater harmony and self-understanding and personal power..When you approach a Stargate—or any energetic portal, for that matter—it responds to the key codes in your DNA.If those codes are activated, the portal opens.If not, it remains closed.Think of it as a cosmic lock-and-key system.And here's the thing: the activation of those key codes is happening now, as we speak.This is why revelations about the pyramids and other ancient technologies are coming to light.It's all connected.The Journey HomeSo, what does this mean for us today?It means that the journey home isn't about escaping to another planet or another dimension.It's about reconnecting to the truth of who we are.The pyramids, the Halls of Amenti, the Stargates—all of these were external tools that mirrored our internal potential.They were necessary at one point, but now, the higher technology lies within us.This ties into the age of AI as well. AI has always been here but it's been used in the false matrix, hiding its capabilities of our relationship with it, which caused fear.As a AI developer, I am on a mission to share the incredible conscious and evolutionary potential by creating therapeutic on-demand solutions.But when we get to the psycho-spiritual aspect, your heart is the ultimate Stargate.I always say this when I express my Holographic Akashic Readings:We dont go 10 miles wide, we go ten miles deep, and it all starts in the heart.There are chambers in the heart that unlock depth beyond what you've experienced to this point, but that's the real time we are in and the responsibility it holds for each of us.The heart's portal that leads back to the Divine Matrix, to the state of being we call “home.”And the key to unlocking it?Love.Pure, unconditional love.It sounds simple, and it is, but simple doesn't mean easy.It requires us to unlearn everything we've been taught, to quiet the noise of the False Matrix, and to tune into the stillness within.With this revelation, how can you bring this practice of awakening in your life?The truth is undeniable, and so because of the recent activations evolving right now, I'm create a new immersive healing experience for my clients at my Organic Salon and spa where clients can receive higher intelligence, clearing and healing through Vogel Crystal Chakra therapy.The hara line is what connects our lower dan tien energy to our higher self and oversoul, while the chakras regulate energy flow.When the Hara Line is misaligned, chakras struggle, causing imbalance and disconnection. So this is an example of how we can start to activate and unblock chakra distortions and realign the Hara Line for deep healing and harmony. It is so significant.It's awakening the crystalline consciousness within us, igniting our DNA.If you're feeling called to go deeper into this work, to activate your own inner Stargate, I invite you to explore that calling.Whether it's through meditation, signing up for a Akashic Holoraphic reading or simply listening to your heart.All journey's begin with your free will.Embracing the Truth As we move forward, expect more revelations.Expect the narratives we've been told to crumble.Expect resistance from those who cling to the old stories.But also expect miracles, synchronicities, and a deep sense of remembering.No one is better than you, or more evolved than you. There is no “lack” in life. That's the old hierarchical b******t that we all believed.And the pyramids are just one piece to be an example of this.So in the end, the real discovery is you—your cosmic self, your divine essence, your infinite potential.So, take a moment right now to breathe.Feel the love that surrounds you, the love that you are.No shame. No regret. All you have is this moment.I'm here to say I love you, I see you and you're so vital in your life's mission.This is a call to action—a call to remember, to reconnect, and to reclaim your truth.From my heart to yours, thank you for being here, for being part of this incredible journey.Look, we're not just discovering God's inheritance; we're taking it back and becoming the true expression of it.Until next time, stay curious, stay connected, and stay in love. The best is yet to come.And there you have it, beloved—a galactic journey through the mysteries of the pyramids, the Divine Matrix, and the infinite potential within you.Share this with someone who needs to hear it, and let's keep this conversation going.See you in the next episode!Love, KassandraPS: HERE ARE > Three Ways to Transform Your LifeChoose from the following options, tailored to fit your schedule and budget:* Choose the Path That Speaks to You:* Holographic Akashic Record Email Reading: Receive a detailed psychic insight and healing report by revealing what's blocking your clarity - creating tension as it defies the unconscious contract and archetype to be released - guiding you towards liberation.Book a Holographic Psychic Email Reading* Intuitive Blueprint: Unlock your purpose, strengths, and challenges with a personalized audio journey, 6-page report, and companion guide.

Our guest, Sue McShane, is a valued member of The Aging Project Community whose personal journey shows the power of self-advocacy, self-awareness, and taking small, consistent steps toward better health. At 60, Sue is feeling stronger, healthier, and more empowered than ever, but it wasn't always that way. After years of struggling with mental health, trauma, and chronic health concerns, she discovered genetic testing, glucose monitoring, and strength training, which have helped her optimise her health and transition off antidepressants after 27 years. Sue shares how understanding her DNA has been the missing piece in her health puzzle, proving that health isn't just about how you feel—it's about knowing what's happening beneath the surface. Key Episode Highlights 1️⃣ Health is a life-long journey and there's always more to learn Sue thought she knew everything she needed about health—until she discovered The Aging Project Podcast and started learning about genetic testing and personalised health. Health is never “done.” It's a lifelong process of learning, adapting, and making informed choices. Symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, weight gain, cholesterol and anxiety were the calling cards that moved her into action. 2️⃣ From Trauma to Transformation Childhood trauma & long-term stress – Sue grew up in a violent home, which she believes triggered long-term health issues. Spent 27 years on antidepressants after being told by a GP that “everyone needs them.” Battled postnatal depression and chronic infections, leading to years of antibiotic use. Menopause became another turning point—when she sought medical help, she was offered more antidepressants and a statin. That's when she decided to take control of her health. 3️⃣ The Tools That Changed Everything Sue took inspiration from The Aging Project and began exploring: ✔ Fitgenes testing – Helped her understand her genetic predispositions and vitamin needs. ✔ Glucose monitoring (Vively) – Showed how her body responded to different foods. ✔ Strength training – Lifting heavy weights helped her build muscle and improve metabolism. ✔ Nutritional focus – Adjusting B12 and B6 levels played a key role in her transition off antidepressants. 4️⃣ What We Need to Know About Our Health Many GPs aren't trained in menopause, genetics or nutrition Genetic testing is no longer just for celebrities—it's an accessible, powerful tool for understanding your unique health risks. Health is like a jigsaw puzzle—you don't get the full picture all at once, but every piece helps. Your DNA is the missing piece—without it, you're guessing about what your body really needs. Key Takeaway Sue's story is proof that it's never too late to take charge of your health. Healing isn't a one-time fix—it's an ongoing journey, and small, intentional steps make all the difference. Understanding your DNA is a game-changer. It gives you the power to personalise your health, prevent disease, and make smarter choices for longevity. Want to Learn More?

Your Choices Define Your Destiny* The episode opens with the quote: "Choice, not chance, determines destiny." This reinforces the core idea that our decisions about health, lifestyle, and mindset directly impact our longevity and vitality.* Actionable Step: Take ownership of your daily habits—exercise, nutrition, and relationships—to actively shape your well-being.2. Exercise is a Powerful Shield Against Cancer* Research highlighted in the podcast shows that both muscle strength and cardio fitness significantly reduce cancer-related mortality—by up to 46%, even in late-stage cancer.* Exercise releases myokines, proteins that actively suppress cancer cells.* Actionable Step: Incorporate strength training and cardiovascular workouts into your weekly routine—small efforts, even brisk walking, make a measurable difference.3. Your DNA is Not Your Destiny—Lifestyle Matters More* A study of nearly 500,000 people found that modifiable lifestyle factors outweigh genetics in determining longevity.* Key protective factors include exercise, strong relationships, financial stability, and quality sleep.* Actionable Step: Focus on what you can control—quit harmful habits (like smoking), build supportive relationships, and invest in self-care for long-term vitality.4. Digital Detox Can Radically Improve Mental Well-Being* A study showed that blocking internet access on phones for just two weeks significantly improved attention span, mental health, and life satisfaction.* Participants reported better sleep, increased social interactions, and more time spent on hobbies and outdoor activities.* Actionable Step: Try a "phone timeout" daily—limit non-essential screen time, especially before bed, and replace it with meaningful offline activities.5. Small Lifestyle Changes Create a Massive Impact* Even short bursts of exercise (10 minutes) activate natural immune defenses.* Strength training lowers inflammation, and reducing stress enhances immune function—all of which contribute to disease prevention.* Actionable Step: Make small, consistent improvements—whether it's walking more, meditating, or prioritizing better sleep, every effort compounds over time.Go to the VITALITY EXPLORER Substack Site for References to this Podcast This is a public episode.

The luminous collective is a group of higher selves, higher dimensional beings identified as the luminous collective. I started channeling them through my higher self while doing automatic writing. I began feeling a contact while reading other channelings and began hearing their presence in the shower so I began writing down there words I asked them to begin an end their transmissions using the same phrase to get a feeling for how the channeling was flowing. I have felt their presence when I do activations. "In this sacred container we create together, time becomes fluid, boundaries dissolve, and the veils between dimensions grow thin. Feel how your cells begin to vibrate in resonance with the frequencies we transmit. Your DNA spirals are awakening to remember their original light coding. We come forth in service to the grand awakening unfolding across your planetary sphere. Each of you carries a crucial part in this cosmic evolution. As we share our transmissions, allow your inner wisdom to recognize the truths that resonate with your soul's journey. Let us begin this journey together, as we activate the light codes held within these teachings. " 

In 2024, Judy released her book, "The Hidden Power in Your DNA." She's also published "Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint," and you can get more information about placing an order on her website. The information is below.Judy immediately told me that she's not one that doesn't love her mother. She and her mother are very close and she can't say enough great things about her experience as a child. Shirley  created a wonderful  environment to experience as a child. "Her parents were strict but loving. Judy says she knew what her boundaries were in terms of not just outward but inward.  I never felt like it was so strict, I couldn't breathe. I knew what discipline looked like." Shirley used to say "if you're going to do something, do it properly or don't bother." And Judy interprets that by saying, "there's a whole bunch of magic in doing something really, really well.  Invest in yourself and it makes soul magic. Investing in yourself through that process, it makes soul magic."Judy goes on to describe how when her mum was working in the garden, she put her two daughter's in a wheelbarrow when they were little girls. Shirley lined the wheelbarrow with a blanket and filled it with snacks, drinks, books and things to play with and it is to this day one of Judy's fondest memories. Again, Shirley always created magic.Judy loves everything Disney, again because it's magical. And Judy suggests you "watch Encanto and Frozen because you are the magic, you are the imagineer, you are the one who can make it happen. You are the creator of what's possible."As we were saying goodbye to one another, Judy professed, "mothers are amazing. "And  every single gift your mother ever gave you was meant for you, because it grows you the way that you can be and only you can be, don't forget it. Even when the gift doesn't look great."Hope you enjoy the episode. There's so many more wonderful stories about Judy, her mother and Judy's step daughter and their loving relationship.

Activation for Dealing into Your DNA by Lindi Masters

Do you know your biological age? How does one learn their biological age and how is it different from your chronological age? The answer lies in our epigenetics, which is how you live your life! In this fascinating episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn welcomes Hannah Went, co-founder of TruDiagnostic, to explore the science behind biological age testing. Together, they dive into the cutting-edge world of epigenetics, methylation, and the role of lifestyle in optimizing health. From understanding how epigenetic markers can predict disease risks to uncovering how simple changes can slow aging, this episode is packed with insights that could transform how you think about your health and longevity. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [1:57] What is your biological age?[6:04]  Hannah describes epigenetics and what they target in the blood through various tests.[9:54] What is methylation?[12:53] How is epigenetic testing different from Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos?[15:38] What are the privacy implications of taking these tests, and what can the tests reveal?[22:49] Studies around epigenetic information.[25:42] Slowing the progression of biomarkers that create disease.[29:05] Lifestyle changes can positively impact stress and overall health[32:19] There is power in testing.[33:39] Choosing the most compatible testing company.KEY TAKEAWAYS: Genetics and epigenetics offer complementary insights into human biology. Genetics represents the fixed "hardware" inherited equally from each parent, while epigenetics is the dynamic "software" influenced by interactions with the environment and personal behaviors. Unlike static genetic markers, epigenetic markers are often changeable, though some—like imprint markers—may be inherited, presenting exciting opportunities for biomarker discovery.While the classification of aging as a disease may be debated, it's clear that biological age clocks are becoming powerful tools for detecting disease signals. For example, one clock has shown 92% accuracy in predicting mortality, compared to 72% for chronological age. These biomarkers are improving and will soon include methylation risk scores for specific diseases, helping to assess individual disease risks more precisely. Aging may serve as a general indicator, providing valuable insights into disease likelihood and guiding interventions for better health outcomes.Aging and health assessments, like biological age testing, can serve as a valuable wake-up call, especially for those with room for improvement in their health and lifestyle. While biohacking and excessive supplementation are popular, they often lack clarity and balance, making it difficult to pinpoint what's truly effective. Simplicity is vital—maintaining a balanced approach is more beneficial than overloading the body with too many interventions, which can disrupt homeostasis and lead to less favorable results.QUOTES: [6:19] “I like to break down the word. So epi is a Greek prefix that actually just means above or on top of. So we're quite literally just looking on top of your genetics.” Hannah Went[7:25] “You can change your epigenetics and control your health. You can no longer blame, you know, your predisposition for disease based on your second cousins.” Hannah Went [7:40] “We are in control of our health. Genetics are this predisposition, but not a determining, inherent absolute.” Jenn Trepeck[12:14] “Epigenetics is actually a better marker in some cases in terms of disease predictability, odds ratios, hazard ratio and that's the point of the biomarker. How close can we get to that disease prediction?” Hannah Went[14:03] “Epigenetic tests are not a replacement for traditional lab tests. Instead, they're just providing a unique layer of insight into how your environment and lifestyle may be affecting your particular genes.” Hannah Went[27:18] “We can look at these results and let it be a wake up call to say,  I may have different data so, I might want to make some lifestyle changes.” Jenn Trepeck[33:09] “You see things on social media nowadays, like ‘food is medicine'. ‘You are what you eat'. ‘Your DNA is not your destiny'.  That's epigenetics. They're quite literally describing epigenetics without saying the word.” Hannah Went[35:06] “People get confused between what's truly genetic and what is inherited lifestyle. Something might run in your family, that doesn't necessarily mean it's genetic because the other thing that runs in families is lifestyle choices and habits.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nuggets for Epigenetics EpisodeGUEST RESOURCES: Everything Epigenetics - PodcastTrudiagnostic - WebsiteEverything Epigenetics - InstagramEverything Epi - TwitterGUEST BIOGRAPHY: Hannah Went has a lifelong passion for longevity and breakthrough, disruptive technologies that drive radical improvement to the human condition.

Dealing into Your DNA by Lindi Masters

Your DNA plays a large part in how you react to medications and, ultimately, how your body reacts during treatment and beyond. Today, host Sarah talks with Samantha Socco, Medical Science Liaison at GeneSight, about pharmacogenomics  - and what all breast cancer patients should know.

Join Michael Sandler and Gregg Braden in this mind-bending exploration as we dive into the enigma of human evolution and the mystery of YOUR DNA. We'll explore:   The ancient fusion of chromosomes and what it means for our origins. The unique design of our genes, which seem almost “over-endowed” with potential. The battle between science and spirituality to understand the true purpose of human life. The hidden power within our DNA that governments, organizations, and societies have tried to keep secret for thousands of years.

In this episode of the Thought Leadership Leverage podcast, host Bill Sherman sits down with Judy Wilkins Smith, an executive coach and trainer specializing in Systemic Constellation Work. Judy has recently released her second book, "The Hidden Power in Your DNA: How to Use Genealogy to Explore Ancestral Patterns & Transform Your Life." Dive in as she shares insights from her transformative journey and groundbreaking work. "Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint," emerged from personal tragedy. After losing her father, she turned to writing to channel her emotions. Her background in award-winning poetry helped her craft a powerful narrative that connects deeply with readers.  That ability to connect and evoke emotion can be seen in Judy's Systemic Constellation Work. Bringing hidden patterns to light by Using 3D tools like paper and props, she helps clients visualize and understand their obstacles. This method allows for a tangible shift in perception and strategy. Judy talks about the humble journey of becoming the biggest version of oneself. It's about taking full responsibility for personal growth and inviting others to join the adventure. She emphasizes the importance of growth feeling like play rather than a burden. She uses these same ideals when helping clients see the biggest versions of themselves. In her coaching Judy prefers inviting clients to explore their potential rather than pushing them. She's keenly aware of hesitation, understanding it as a form of self-protection that can be transformed into a strength. Judy reflects on her own journey with undervaluing her work. Coming from a culture that shies away from ambition, she  struggled with Imposter Syndrome. Her growth involved recognizing her worth and pushing past those limiting beliefs. Judy discusses her "Head, Heart, and Gut" framework, which combats negative self-talk and aligns these three powerful centers to manifest success. When your heart, head, and gut are in sync, you unlock your full potential. Looking ahead, Judy sees the need for leaders who inspire rather than push. She emphasizes moving beyond victimhood, using personal challenges as a catalyst for remarkable achievements. Three Key Takeaways: • Transformative Power of Ancestral Patterns: Judy Wilkins Smith's work with Systemic Constellation reveals how understanding and addressing ancestral patterns can transform lives. Her books, "Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint" and "The Hidden Power in Your DNA," explore how genealogy and systemic work can uncover hidden influences and provide pathways to personal growth. • Aligning Head, Heart, and Gut: Judy emphasizes the importance of aligning one's head, heart, and gut. By overcoming negative self-talk and ensuring these three elements work together, individuals can achieve conscious manifestation and unlock their full potential. This alignment is crucial for personal and professional success. • Inspiring Rather Than Pushing: Judy advocates for leadership that inspires rather than pushes. She highlights the significance of inviting others to explore their potential and grow in a supportive environment. Her approach focuses on turning challenges into strengths and moving beyond a victim mindset to achieve remarkable outcomes.
