With how unnaturally fast paced life is, social media notifications, neverending emails, letters in the mail to respond to, staying aware of all of the various toxins we're exposed to, dodging grifters online that just want to take your money and sell you their program, it is very easy to be chronically stressed. Practices such as turning off your notifications, putting your phone in airplane mode when you are walking in the forest, keeping do not disturb on all the time, carving time out of your day to not stare at screens, are some common strategies to reduce stress.  In this episode Dr Scott Sherr returns to the show to talk about: why its not just about healing your trauma, the mitochondrial harm that occurs with chronic stress, the role of GABA, how methylene blue supplementation can help, his thoughts on alcohol and cannabis, carbon dioxide therapy, and more.  Dr Scott Sherr's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/?hl=en Troscriptions products: https://www.troscriptions.com/?rfsn=3792577.b0695c My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by Nicholas Jimenez: https://spoti.fi/4cte2nD

For several years I was focusing heavily on the relationship between copper and iron while neglecting and even demonizing zinc. Given that our body stores a much higher concentration of zinc than copper, that was not a wise approach. Over the years I have learned that even in the case of a copper deficiency, one should still supplement zinc in addition to copper, and the clinical research clearly proves this. It is very easy to get caught in the anti-supplement fear campaigns that big influencers spread and I have since repented for my sins in this regard. In this episode I share my experience taking high dose zinc for the past few years and the copper deficiency symptoms I have noticed recently, specifically in relationship to ultraviolet light exposure from sunlight. On day one of supplementing copper again I noticed an increased resilience to sun exposure and less of a burning sensation being outside in the mid-day summer sun. I break down the science of different types of melanin, the exact biochemical processses involved in copper supporting melanin production, what melanin does after it absorbs UV light, what other nutrients we should be supplementing to protect ourselves from sunburn and skin photoaging, the complexity of the zinc/copper ratio and where I stand with it, how you can diagnose yourself for deficiencies using symptoms instead of blood tests, and more.

I see a lot of health educators throw their weight around saying that they have more then a few decades of experience working one on one with clients, and then selling you the idea that acting based on your symptoms is just mimicking the allopathic pharma way of thinking. But what if we acknowledged our symptoms and used them as guiding lights instead of lab tests? Or you could do both. Natasha Snoeijer focuses on thyroid, hormone and metabolic optimization. She joins me to bring that "what about both?" energy to the health discussion. What if high dose supplementation can create long term healing? One vitamin did that for her. She shares her thoughts on the sugar diet, how to use your bowel movements to assess your health status, how to supplement thyroid properly, why she isn't a fan of hair tissue mineral analysis tests and what she likes instead, why candida cleanses don't work, and lots more.

Do you live in an older home or love purchasing cookware from thrift stores? You could be exposed to the heavy metal lead which can increase ADHD and lower IQ. It can also elevate blood pressure and even lead to more serious effects like heart attacks.

Recently there has been a plethora of articles painting the popular supplement methylene blue in a bad light. Some of the claims include: its synthetic so that makes it unsafe, it will stain your brain permanently blue, it will cause excessive serotonin in the brain, and that it could decrease mitochondrial function in people with healthy mitochondria, or that it can inhibit nitric oxide.  Dr Scott Sherr, COO of Troscriptions, returns to the show to debunk these arguments using sound science and reason. I have been ingesting methylene blue for five years now with some breaks and I have experienced zero negative side effects, both short or long term. Fear and sensationalism gets engagement and it also provides an opportunity to deepen the conversation with more context which Scott does in this episode.

A cancer diagnosis is a scary thing. It often comes out of nowhere and happens with people that are either living a healthier lifestyle or are close to others that do. Obviously the natural health community is missing pieces of the puzzle. This episode is an addendum to one I recorded four years ago about cancer solutions. I have changed my mind on a lot but also realized that I never explicitly defined what cancer is or where it’s located in the previous show. I define what cancer is, exactly which part of the cell its found in, why we need healthy mitochondria, the interplay between ATP and the structured water in our cells, what supports the formation of structured water in our body, what blocks the formation of structured water, the power of carbon dioxide against tumors, and other solutions that I’ve found over the past 15 years.
