Dr. Robert Selig is a functional medicine practitioner, hair tissue mineral analysis expert, and owner of Back To Natural Health in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. He offers personalized natural healthcare packages for both local and remote patients to address and help prevent the chronic illnesses plaguing our society like adrenal exhaustion and copper toxicity—widely unknown epidemics affecting over 80% of our population. After 30+ years of experience and research in the natural health field and learning how to cure his own adrenal exhaustion and copper toxicity, he offers adult and child patients individualized care plans tailored around their biochemistry using revolutionary new tests like HTMA rather than typical blood tests which don’t provide the important cellular information needed to get healthy. He offers one-on-one guidance to address the root cause of a patient’s health condition using mineral balancing, nutritional strategies, detoxification protocols, homeopathy, energy healing, and functional medicine. His goal is to help you approach life without pharmaceutical drugs that cause mineral imbalance, to avoid future invasive surgeries, and to reverse engineer the aging process. Dr. Selig teaches patients both the art and science of natural healing to restore energy, strength, and vitality and make living an exciting new journey rather than debilitating and insufferable. Patients can expect increased energy and hormone levels, less brain fog and chronic infections, natural weight management, and full body healing using the most efficient, time-tested, and effective therapies and methods.

Calcium is crucial for muscle contraction, nerve firing, and overall metabolic function. Vitamin D plays a significant role in calcium absorption and metabolism. The sodium-potassium ratio is essential for maintaining mineral balance in the body. Copper dysregulation can lead to various health issues, including cancer and neurological diseases. Calcium can buffer the effects of excess copper in the body. Mineral balancing requires a holistic approach, considering all minerals and their interactions. Microdosing minerals can help sensitive individuals adjust without adverse effects. Calcium supplementation should be approached with an understanding of the entire mineral system. Heavy metals can disrupt the balance and transport of essential minerals. Most farm animals are not drinking clean water. Antibiotics are prevalent in farm animals, affecting their health. Liver from hunted animals is preferred for consumption. Calcium supplementation is often necessary for health. Digestion plays a crucial role in mineral absorption. Emotional health can be impacted by mineral imbalances. Heavy metals like lead and cadmium can displace calcium. Copper toxicity can lead to anxiety and panic attacks. Health is the greatest wealth, impacting longevity. Aging gracefully requires proactive health measures.

After facing 7 years of struggle with chronic fatigue syndrome & lyme disease resulting in panic attacks, derealization, debilitating brain fog, and many other mysterious symptoms, Kyle became obsessed with getting well. Despite being in his early 20s, he was forced down a winding road through countless healing systems, supplements, and diets, with no lasting solutions. When he discovered mineral-balancing, he found it was the missing piece to his health puzzle, going on to fully recover and find the best health of his life.

Smoking paradoxically showed better COVID outcomes in some studies. Blood sugar regulation issues have increased post-COVID. Dr. Klinghardt's protocols are effective for Lyme disease treatment. Hyaluronic acid can help in treating Lyme by targeting spirochetes. High dose B1 therapy can repair mitochondrial dysfunction. Selenium supports glutathione production and detoxification. Iodine can be beneficial but is not tolerated by everyone. Mineral balancing provides a stable foundation for health. Coaching is essential for effective Lyme disease treatment.

Understanding food labels is crucial to avoid greenwashing and misleading claims in the food industry. The challenges of sourcing quality chicken and the importance of pasture-raised and air-chilled options are discussed. Aleks plans to create his own farm to ensure quality sourcing for his products. The conversation touches on the nutritional benefits of red meat compared to chicken. The importance of supporting local farmers and regenerative practices is emphasized. The discussion concludes with thoughts on the future of regenerative farming and its necessity for sustainability. Regenerative meat offers a taste that is unmatched by conventional meat. Organ meats are nutrient-dense and essential for health. The body can absorb nutrients from organs more effectively than from muscle meat. Farmers play a crucial role in the food system and should be valued accordingly. Eating clean can reduce the need for many health and beauty products. Cholesterol is vital for hormone production and overall health. Many people are unaware of the importance of hydration in digestion. The perception of food quality is often skewed by marketing and misinformation. Eating a variety of cuts from a whole animal can improve nutrient intake. Community support and education are key to improving dietary habits.   

Charles Mayfield is an entrepreneur, regenerative farmer, and bestselling author known for his work at the intersection of sustainable agriculture and natural skincare. As the founder and CEO of Farrow Skincare, a Tennessee-based company launched in 2022, he pioneered the use of "SmartLard"—a chemical-free, waterless balm derived from pasture-raised animal fats—to create toxin-free products that nourish the skin microbiome. Drawing from his background in regenerative farming through Mayfield Pastures, where he raised high-quality, pasture-based meats, Mayfield's venture was sparked by a personal battle with severe sunburn and a passion for real, unprocessed ingredients. A co-author of the Paleo Comfort Foods cookbook series, he balances his role as a father with advocacy for land stewardship, ethical animal husbandry, and consumer transparency in the beauty industry. Under his leadership, Farrow has gained traction through podcast appearances and organic growth, aiming for scalable, eco-conscious expansion while supporting artisanal farms committed to soil health and community nutrition.

There is no evidence that HIV causes AIDS. Most vaccines are to protect against viral diseases. There is no study that proves the existence of a virus. Autoimmunity is a term used for chronic illness. The body is designed to heal itself if we don't interfere. Viruses and bacteria have never been shown to be the causative agents of disease.
