Rank #1: Dr. Jay Davidson on Lyme, Essential Oils for Biofilms & Heavy Metal Toxicity.
My friend Dr. Jay Davidson is hosting the Parasite Summit in a few weeks, and I'm a Featured Speaker on the Summit.Register for FREE now at the following link:http://healthaffiliate.center/20052-16-5-34.htmlHowever, something I don't email you about often is my podcast, which I've been hosting and uploading episodes every week for the last 5 years.I just had to share this episode, because it ties into the upcoming summit.Dr. Jay and I discuss how parasites can act as a reservoir for heavy metals, candida, and other infections.THIS is why I have such a high success rate in my clinic!It all makes sense now, even though I didn't fully understand the mechanism before, because I place SO much emphasis on investigating and healing the microbiome of my clients, by removing parasites, we are removing the storage facility for yeast and all of these other coinfections!Several years ago, I lost 25 pounds without trying and had irritable bowel, depression and adrenal fatigue, and one of the biggest things I did to heal myself was to remove the 2 parasitic infections I had in my gut.Running a set of comprehensive stool tests (not all tests are created equal) is always standard protocol for new clients of mine, because as you'll hear in this interview, Jay found the same thing...80% of the battle against lyme disease and other chronic health issues can be remedied just by clearing out the parasite infections as well as heavy metals.

Click the link below to listen to the podcast.   Intro What on earth is Candida? Candida is a fungus, which is a form of yeast, a very small amount of which lives in your mouth and intestines. Its job is to aid with digestion and nutrient absorption, but when it is overproduced it breaks down the wall of the intestine and penetrates the bloodstream, releasing toxic byproducts into your body and causing leaky gut. This can lead to many different health problems ranging from digestive issues to depression. Symptoms What are some of the most common symptoms? How can there be so many symptoms for candida?   Food and candida Do certain foods cause candida to bloom? Why? What is the relationship between carbohydrates and candida? Testing What are the tests for candida? How quickly can candida come back? Is it necessary to retest often? Treating candida Dr. Myers’ three means to deal with candida: Diet, herbal remedies, and medication. Supplements What are useful supplements to treat candida? click here for the answer.

The Functional Medicine Radio Show With Dr. Carri

Naturopath - Chiropractor - Author - Speaker

Rank #1: The Magnesium Miracle with Dr. Carolyn Dean.
In this episode of The Functional Medicine Radio Show, Dr. Carri’s special guest Dr. Carolyn Dean explains the many benefits of magnesium. Dr. Carolyn Dean has been in the forefront of health issues for over 30 years and is the leading expert on magnesium. She is a medical doctor, a naturopath, herbalist, acupuncturist, nutritionist, and inventor who has authored and co-authored over 35 books including The Magnesium Miracle. She is passionate about helping people of all ages achieve optimal health by taking a holistic approach to wellness. Main Questions Asked about the Magnesium Miracle: How do people become magnesium deficient, and why isn’t it more well-known? Should calcium be balanced with magnesium? What tests do you recommend for accurately measuring magnesium? What are the different forms of magnesium? Could you start taking magnesium and vitamin C to help detox instead of gross powders? How does magnesium deficiency relate to anxiety and depression? Key Points made by Dr. Carolyn Dean about the Magnesium Miracle: Magnesium is a cofactor for about 700 to 800 different enzymatic processes in the body. Genetic mutations can be driven epigenetically by too much or too little of a nutrient. Soil has become depleted due to industrial farming. A hundred years ago, we would get 500 milligrams of magnesium in our daily diet – now we barely get 200 milligrams. A deficiency could result in heart palpitations, leg cramps, migraine headaches, and stomach spasms that feel like heartburn. 65 conditions due to magnesium deficiency could be misdiagnosed as serious diseases for which doctors prescribe strong drugs. Proper testing for magnesium is not done in modern medicine. Only 1% of total body levels is found in veins, which is there to protect the heart. Measuring serum magnesium is not a good test because it gives a false normal. 6 of the 8 steps of the cycle that makes energy require magnesium. Many medications deplete this important mineral and make the condition worse. Many drugs have fluoride to make them more powerful, like the statins, Cipro and Prozac that can cause tendon rupture. Athletes get depleted of minerals and try to replace with Gatorade which is just sugar and salt. Mineral depletion in athletes weakens them, resulting in infections for which they get antibiotics, which can cause tendon rupture due to deposition of fluoride from drugs. Fluoride in drugs binds to magnesium to form an insoluble, brittle compound, magnesium fluoride which gets deposited in tendons and bones. If you must take Cipro, you need to take a lot of magnesium to replace the loss. People with stress end up with elevated blood pressure and then prescribed diuretics which further deplete them of potassium. Magnesium is a calcium channel blocker but instead doctors put high blood pressure patients on calcium channel blocking meds, diuretics and ACE inhibitors. Deficiency also leads to elevated blood sugar and cholesterol, so high blood pressure patients often end up with these conditions as well. Low magnesium is a risk marker for diabetes. High blood pressure patients on statins may end up with heart failure due to extreme depletion as a side effect of all the meds they are on. We should be taking an equal ratio of calcium to magnesium to prevent heart and kidney diseases that result from an imbalance of calcium to magnesium. It is the safest mineral – too much can just give you a laxative effect. Tested with magnesium RBC test or better still the ionized magnesium test. You levels need to be above 6. It’s best to start supplementing slowly and see how you do. Magnesium chloride is a good form as it is highly absorbable and avoids the laxative effect. Magnesium also helps with detox because it helps the liver enzymes, specifically the CYP450 detox enzymes. Any type of anxiety should first be treated with magnesium, not strong drugs. It is the best sleep “medication”. Magnesium gives you energy in the day and calms you down to sleep at night. It relieves anxiety and depression. It balances serotonin and works on many levels in the body. An Epsom salt bath (or footbath) is another great way to get more magnesium.

Rank #2: How to Restore the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself with Dr. Alejandro Junger.
In this episode of The Functional Medicine Radio Show, Dr. Carri’s special guest Dr. Alejandro Junger explains how you can restore your body’s natural ability to heal itself. Dr. Junger was born in Uruguay. He graduated from medical school there in 1990 and moved to New York City for his postgraduate training. He completed three years of training in Internal Medicine at NYU Downtown Hospital and three more years of fellowship in Cardiovascular Diseases at Lenox Hill Hospital. The drastic change in lifestyle and diet resulting from his move to New York City soon showed up as irritable bowel syndrome and depression. Becoming a patient of the system he was practicing was such a shock that it started his journey in search of an alternative solution to his health problems. His findings are the subject of his first book “Clean: The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself”, where Dr. Junger describes how he became aware of the toxicity of our planet. He also explains how detoxification and cleansing have been around for thousands of years, but the knowledge has been lost, and right now it’s more important than ever to reclaim this information. Most importantly, “Clean” is a manual for readers to learn how to turn on and work with their own detoxification systems to restore and maintain optimal health. Main Questions Asked: Can you share your personal health journey? What is the ‘gut’? In your book ‘Clean Gut’ you talk about the root cause of disease. Can you tell us more about this? What are some of the most common toxins were exposed to from our food? Can you describe your Clean Gut Program? What are some success stories from the Clean Gut Program? Who should do a cleanse? Who should NOT do a cleanse? How often should we do a cleanse? Key Points made by Dr. Junger: After moving to New York and working crazy hours during his medical training and eating ‘fast foods’ he slowly started to lose his health. He gained weight, started having allergies, and was diagnosed with depression and irritable bowel syndrome. It was through cleansing and detoxification that he was able to restore his health – and more! The gut includes: the intestinal tube; the intestinal wall; the nervous system within the intestines; the immune system within and around the intestines; and the intestinal bacteria. It’s very similar to the roots of a plant. Health and disease originate in the intestines. We’re putting a lot of things in our intestines – what we eat and drink – that nature never designed to be in the intestines. This is why humans have diseases that are not seen in any other animals on the planet. Leaky gut upsets the immune system and the nervous system and triggers the downfall towards chronic disease. If you take a bird’s eye view of a supermarket you’ll see that 90% of what is sold comes in a box or bag or wrapper. These things have chemicals/preservatives in them that keeps those ‘foods’ from rotting. These are similar to antibiotics because they kill the good bacteria in your gut. The Clean Gut Program is based on the 5 R’s. Remove = remove the things that shouldn’t be in your diet: toxins, chemicals, gluten, dairy, sugar, alcohol, coffee, grains and sugary fruit. Restore = restore the good nutrients we need. Reinoculate = reinoculating your gut with good bacteria. Repair = repair the wall of the intestines, or the leaky gut; L-glutamine can help this. Relaxation = relaxation is usually forgotten about and stress can destroy the functions of your body. Many problems have greatly improved or and completely resolved after cleaning up the gut, including autoimmune diseases. Detoxification programs and gut repair programs are contraindicated for patients on specific medications that need to be tightly controlled (such as the blood thinner Coumadin, antiepileptics, antisezure medications, insulin dependent diabetics), advanced cancer patients, and women that are pregnant or breastfeeding. Everybody else can benefit from a detoxification or gut repair program. For the general public it’s best to do a 21 day detox program once a year.

Rank #2: Why We Get Fat and What You Should Really Do About It.
My guests this week are two of the brightest minds in the health and fitness industry. The first is my own Chief Medical Officer, Tommy Wood, MD PhD. Tommy is currently working as a visiting scientist researching neonatal brain injury at the University of Washington. He received his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, before studying medicine at the University of Oxford. My second guest is Chris Masterjohn, PhD. Chris earned his PhD in Nutritional Science from the University of Connecticut at Storrs, where he studied the role of glutathione and dietary antioxidants in regulating the accumulation of methylglyoxal. He has authored or co-authored ten peer-reviewed publications. His writes a blog, The Daily Lipid, and produces a podcast by the same name. You can also follow his professional work on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat (whatever that is!). Tommy’s premise for this interview was as follows: If you fix lifestyle and environment, can you be a lot less "strict" with your diet? For instance, are low carbers needing to be so low carb because everything else is broken? I took that idea and invited Chris Masterjohn on to the show for a roundtable discussion that starts with a general debate on the causes of obesity and then moves on to what we can all to improve or maintain our body composition. You should listen to this interview because unlike many others I’ve heard; it includes a broad discussion of the range of issues that we see in our practice that hold people back from their body composition goals. The first time you meet someone who plateaued in their weight loss while eating a low-carb diet you realise that it’s a bit more complicated than that. Here’s the outline of this interview with Tommy Wood and Chris Masterjohn: [00:03:15] "The built environment," one that facilitates eating more and moving less. [00:07:48] You, the listeners, are already winning! [00:08:38] The composition of our food. [00:09:32] Upsetting set points--poor sleep. [00:09:57] Circadian rhythm. [00:10:07] Stress and gut health.

Rank #1: #223: Jason Fung, MD: Intermittent Fasting to Balance Leptin and Insulin Resistance.
Jason Fung, MD came back on the show to discuss more details about balancing insulin and leptin resistance (Our first episode published ~ 18 months ago has been watched some 1.65 million times, so I thought you might like this version 2.0.) Watch that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Aw0P7GjHE ➢ Health IQ, an insurance company that helps health conscious people like weightlifters, cyclist, keto dieters and vegetarians get lower rates on their life insurance. ➢ Get a Free Quote: http://healthiq.com/HIH More about this show..... As a society, our frequent snacks and multiple daily meals have jacked up our insulin levels way higher than our feast/famine-based metabolic framework is programed for. As a result, diabetes and obesity are skyrocketing across the globe-even in children, says Dr. Fung. The solution is not always a low-carb, high-fat diet, he says. Compressing the "feeding window" and going for longer periods of time between meals is. In brief, even a higher-carb diet-if eaten in a compressed feeding window-can drop baseline levels of insulin such that fat is being burned, not stored-as is the case when one snacks and eats frequently.

Rank #2: #216: Ted Naiman, MD: Burn Fat Not Sugar.
Dr. Ted Naiman is a low-carb enthusiast, athlete and physician in the Seattle area. He discusses how and why we get fat, and how to become better fat burners. Hope you enjoy the convo.

They overfill when you eat carbohydrates and fat together, displacing fat oxidation. 08:11 How can you burn more fat and store less fat? You can oxidize more fat by restricting exogenous glucose. 09:12 The bigger you get, the faster you are going to die. 10:56 Metabolically obese normal weight individuals are an exception to the waist/height ratio. 13:53 Your personal fat threshold is genetically built in. 15:34 Becoming fat can be protective. 17:12 Everyone has fatty liver now. 17:49 If you have an abundance of free fatty acids in your blood and it is being rejected by your cells and tissues, your body goes to war with itself. 19:26 You can reverse insulin resistance by eating either an extremely low fat diet or an extremely low carb diet. Studie 22:06 If you are fat to begin with, you should do the low carb/high fat approach. 22:46 If you already have very low body fat, if you eat a high carb/low fat diet, you will remain thin. 23:27 For someone who is very overweight and very insulin resistant, a protein heavy/low carb diet is Dr. Naimans recommendation. 25:03 You will lose just as much lean/muscle mass as fat mass with fasting or undereating calories. 26:53 If you dont hit your protein target, you will overeat energy as carbs or fats to get enough protein. 32:19 What about vegetarians and vegans with protein? 36:13 You should get to ketosis with carb restriction. 39:20 Muscle is the organ of longevity. 39:26 Keep your insulin pulsatile. 42:21 Ambient temperature is a huge factor in diabetes. 47:56 Always start with diet. Take one meal at a time and replace your carbs with protein and fat. 50:20 Dr. Naiman has no morning routine, though he does drink cold brewed coffee. He fasts in the morning, not eating until about 1 p.m. 51:37 Dr. Naimans singular favorite exercise is the muscle up. It is the best upper body exercise. 54:29 Dr. Naiman takes no supplements and rarely recommends them. 56:35 Dr. Naimans elevator pitch is to put protein first. Ruminant agriculture on natural grasslands would turn around obesity and diabetes, and it helps the environment. Show notes and video: https://highintensityhealth.com/2016
