I'm Jason Gandzjuk, and just like many of you reading this, I ended up with chronic health challenges. These challenges are what activated me on this path to help those like me who need to be able to function correctly, not just physically but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. After properly testing, identifying, and treating my many root causes and not treating the symptoms, I am vibrant and getting healthier each day. I healed my gut and brain by clearing several parasite infections, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), Mold toxicity, Toxoplasmosis, Lyme Disease, C-Diff, Yeast in my brain, and Candida albicans. I restored my Sleep/Wake Cycle and Gut-Brain Connection, healing my adrenals, thyroid, and stress response. I fixed the methylation, histamine, and liver detoxification issues that were causing an excess buildup of toxins and chemicals. I implemented mineral balancing to balance my neurotransmitters and stabilize my moods, as I had suicidal thoughts as a result of mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and parasite infections. I had 16 concussions, and I broke more bones than I could remember from racing professional motocross, which was causing massive inflammation. I had to learn specific techniques through soul guidance to heal those injuries as they were causing neurological and structural imbalances.  I found out that I had major mold colonization and a mycotoxin load and have been on a long-term detoxification and mineral balancing protocol to resolve the chronic fatigue, memory issues, and other mysterious symptoms I dealt with. Now, I help people around the globe do the same. I look forward to helping you become happier and healthier than you've ever been.   Work With Me: Mineral Balancing HTMA Consultation: https://www.integrativethoughts.com/category/all-products  My Instagram: @integrativematt My Website: Integrativethoughts.com   Advertisements:   Valence Nutraceuticals: Use code ITP20 for 20% off https://valencenutraceuticals.myshopify.com/   Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP Magnesium Breakthrough: Use Code integrativethoughts10 for 10% OFF https://bioptimizers.com/shop/products/magnesium-breakthrough Just Thrive: Use Code ITP15 for 15% off https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/ITP15 Therasage: Use Code Coffman10 for 10% off https://www.therasage.com/discount/COFFMAN10?rfsn=6763480.4aed7f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6763480.4aed7f

Trauma plays a significant role in overall health and should not be overlooked in the healing process. Childhood trauma and parental relationships can have long-lasting effects on emotional well-being. Individuals have different levels of tolerance for toxins, which can impact their overall health. The pulling down exercise is a powerful technique for trauma release and can help individuals observe and process their emotions. Pulling down energy is a powerful concept that can help in healing and is often easier for people to grasp than pushing energy. Chiropractic work can play a significant role in healing by realigning the structure and improving posture. Trauma can have a lasting impact on posture and structure, and addressing these misalignments can be an important part of the healing process. Dreams can provide insights into unresolved traumas and emotions that need to be processed and healed. Choosing life experiences and going through trauma can be part of a spiritual growth journey. Ego death and trauma release are challenging but essential aspects of the healing process. Mineral balancing can offer a systematic and safer approach to healing compared to psychedelics. Faith and religion can provide support and guidance in the healing process, but it is important to focus on the program and the body's needs. When experiencing emotional releases, it is best to give oneself time and space to process the emotions and avoid making hasty decisions. Practicing self-love, self-forgiveness, and the pulling down exercise can be helpful in navigating trauma and emotional releases. Emotional releases are usually intense but relatively short-lived compared to physical detox reactions. The healing process can be unpredictable and may manifest in unexpected ways. Healing involves releasing old physical and emotional traumas. Humans have the ability to endure a significant amount of trauma, but modern society's nervous systems are diminishing. There is a revolution happening, and it is important to opt out of society and build a parallel society. There is a growing interest in localized living, local food, and 3D printing.   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Background 03:13 The Importance of Mineral Balancing 06:34 The Role of Trauma in Healing 11:03 The Impact of Childhood Trauma 15:38 The Influence of Parental Relationships 19:36 The Effects of Trauma on Energy Levels 23:19 Individual Differences in Toxin Tolerance 25:45 Generational Impact of Toxins 31:45 Trauma Release and the Pulling Down Exercise 37:01 How to Practice the Pulling Down Exercise 38:47 The Power of Pulling Down Energy 41:00 The Importance of Structure and Chiropractic Work 43:17 The Impact of Trauma on Posture and Structure 46:22 The Role of Chiropractic Care in Healing 49:24 Dreams and Trauma Release 52:32 Choosing Life Experiences and Spiritual Growth 56:22 The Hardest Part of the Program: Ego Death and Trauma Release 59:18 Mineral Balancing vs. Psychedelics 01:01:11 The Role of Faith and Religion in Healing 01:09:25 Navigating Trauma and Emotional Breakthroughs 01:14:00 Practices for Healing Trauma 01:16:18 Duration of Emotional Releases 01:17:02 The Unpredictability of Healing 01:18:19 The Deeper Healing Process 01:19:01 Processing Trauma on a Physical Level 01:20:00 Humans' Ability to Endure Trauma 01:20:46 The Diminishing Nervous System 01:22:06 The Revolution and Darker Days Ahead 01:23:21 The Silent Revolution and Opting Out of Society 01:24:04 The Uncertainty of the Next Year 01:25:30 Building a Parallel Society 01:26:20 The Rise of Localized Living 01:27:59 The Quiet Revolution and Sustainable Change 01:29:09 The Growing Interest in Local Food and 3D Printing 01:30:50 The Shift to Local Manufacturing 01:31:40 Closing Remarks and Where to Find Luke Pryor   Summary: In this conversation, Luke and Matthew discuss the importance of mineral balancing and the role of trauma in healing.

After college, Dr. Wolfe went back to school for his PhD which led to a career in clinical research. The focus of Dr. Wolfe’s research is on the regulation of muscle metabolism, particularly as affected by aging and stressors such as injury, sepsis and cancer. His research has been performed largely in human patients and normal volunteers. Dr. Wolfe has developed models using stable isotopes to quantify a variety of metabolic processes in human subjects including the oxidation and production of fatty acids, various aspects of carbohydrate metabolism, and the rates of muscle protein synthesis, breakdown, and the transport of amino acids between blood and muscle tissue. Dr. Wolfe served as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School for nine years, and is currently the Director of the Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the Reynolds Institute on Aging in Little Rock, Arkansas. He has published over 500 peer-reviewed research articles, three books, and holds many active patents. Dr. Wolfe is a co-founder of The Amino Company, which was formed to bring his patented amino acid formulas, developed over 40 years of clinical research, to the public.   Summary Dr. Robert Wolf discusses the importance of protein and amino acids in the diet, the differences between animal and plant protein, and the recommended daily protein intake. He also explains the benefits of amino acid supplementation for specific conditions and the importance of balanced amino acid formulations. Dr. Wolf emphasizes the role of amino acids in liver health and detoxification, particularly the benefits of histidine. Overall, amino acids play a crucial role in maintaining optimal health and function. In this conversation, Bob Wolfe discusses the role of amino acids in liver health, specifically in the context of fatty liver disease. He explains that fatty liver disease is not solely caused by alcoholism, but is also common in individuals with obesity. Wolfe's research has shown that reducing methionine and increasing other amino acids can effectively reduce liver fat. Additionally, he mentions the potential anti-inflammatory effects of amino acids and the importance of routine dosing and timing for optimal results.   Takeaways Protein is essential for optimal health and function, and amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Animal protein is generally more easily digested and absorbed than plant protein, but plant-based proteins can be combined to meet nutritional requirements. A high protein intake, above the recommended daily amount, can have numerous health benefits and is well within dietary guidelines. Amino acid supplementation can provide additional benefits beyond what can be achieved with dietary protein alone.

Guest: Catherine Arnston Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born. It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae. Your body and Mother Earth say thank you. And we do too.
