The mitochondria are not just the powerhouse of the cell; they are the engines that run our entire body. If we can remove the obstructions to energy production (calcification, lipofuscin and fibrosis) everything works better, we experience mental clarity and emotional resilience.

Structured Water and Filtration, Finally Combined
Finally, an elegant water filter that actually filters out all contaminants and structures the water at the same time. The Mitolife EZ Flow structured water filter cleans the water in the first four stages, using a combination of a 5 micron sediment filter, KDF55, reverse osmosis, cation resin, and catalytic carbon. Inbetween those effective filtration processes the water is flowing through stages that make the water "ordered" or "coherant". This includes powerful neodynium magnets and 850 nanometer light on a hydrophilic surface, replicating the research of Dr Gerald Pollack and others on forming structured water in the laboratory. Of all the wavelengths of light, infrared light forms it the best. It also goes through elite type 1 unpolished shungite from Russia. This has never been done before in any water filter in the world. Containing 95% + carbon, it is a source of "buckminsterfullerine", or C60, an expensive supplement that people take for anti-aging and detoxification purposes. The remaining content of shungite is similar to shilajit with regards to its mineral content, so it is a natural remineralizer, even if just very small trace amounts. People in Russia have been using shungite to purify collected water in the wild since at least the 1700s, but likely much longer. There are also published studies on shungite's EMF protective effects, and we know that man-made EMFs have the ability to make water less coherant. This is my favorite part about this water filter. Wait, there's more. Then it goes through 100 to 200 vortexes right before it travels up to your spigot. Inbetween draws from the storage tank there is a large build-up of exclusion zone (EZ) water in the infrared light chamber. This is the most exciting product that I've ever released and I am excited for you to experience this water that has a gel-like thicker consistency.

Why I Megadose Melatonin Every Night
Dubbed a sleep hormone, melatonin has been branded as a bandaid and short term fix to help you fall asleep. The health influencers told you that its dangerous because it will decrease your body's production if you supplement it. A popular quantum health neurosurgeon once made the ridiculous claim that it changes the shape of your eyeball if you take a melatonin pill, with zero clinical study to back up his claim. It turns out that melatonin is anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and protects your mitochondria from a myraid of assaults, one of which being electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. In this episode I address the main three myths that are spread about melatonin and explain why they are wrong. I talk about how most of your melatonin is not made in your pineal gland, how simple melatonin powder is the way to go over rectal or other delivery methods, and I reference a few dozen fascinating studies that talk about the various benefits of supplementing melatonin.

Why I Love My Electric Vehicles Off Grid and Mitigating The EMF
I have noticed the hatred towards electric vehicles growing the past five years in the natural health world. The topic has become political and there is a clinging to tradition, similar to people that didn't want to abandon the horse and buggy for the automobile, but that will pass with time. I have been saying for years: Why not see the utility and different use cases in both electric cars and gas and diesel cars? In this long time coming episode I talk about why I love owning electric vehicles being 100% off grid, the expensive lessons i've learned over the years to do it easily, how electric cars can provide ultimate freedom with solar panels, the only two car brands I found that work easily off grid, the details of my off grid setup, and I share one source of information that breaks apart every common myth you've ever heard about EVs. The biggest focus of the show is on the electromagnetic field exposure that you get riding in them. I talk about radiofrequency (RF), magnetic, and electric fields and specific supplements that fully protect your cells and mitochondria from harmful effects, namely lipid peroxidation. Human health is about adaptation, not putting yourself in a bubble. We can enjoy modern technological advancements without sacrificing our health or sovereignty.

Lipofuscin: Cellular Kryptonite That Nobody Talks About
The discussion dives into the hidden threat of lipofuscin, an elusive cellular waste that disrupts autophagy and mitochondrial function. It not only clogs lysosomes but also generates harmful free radicals, raising inflammation levels. Vitamin E emerges as a powerful protector against lipofuscin's damaging effects, shielding crucial retinal cells from impairment. The link between modern lifestyle stressors, oxidative damage, and the vital balance of vitamins A and E takes center stage, while red light therapy offers hope for cellular health.

Fix Long Covid with These Supplements
In the past few weeks there has been another round of a "bug" going around here in Idaho. I started to feel symptoms but hit it hard and knocked out whatever I caught within one day. In this short episode I give a crash course on what I believe to be the most important supplements to take when you feel like you are dealing with a viral infection. I prioritize vitamin, mineral, and enzyme supplements before going to herbs, methylene blue, or antiparasitics. Vitamins and minerals are foundational and deficiencies are common. During an acute or long-term infection your burn rate of nutrients will be a lot higher so you must supplement accordingly. I talk about the importance of taking copper if you're taking zinc, the exact biochemical mechanisms how ascorbic acid works to balance the system, the lipid peroxidation and viral connection, why vitamin E is an underrated supplement, why superoxide dismutase (SOD) is so important to support during long covid, how lithium has been a known anti viral since 1980, and why melatonin should be a crucial part of your antiviral medicine cabinet.

The Link Between Alpha Gal Syndrome and Glyphosate
You have heard of Lyme disease but have you heard of Alpha Gal Syndrome? It is another condition caused by a tick bite but the symptoms are arguably much worse - becoming allergic to red meat! Affecting over 450,000 Americans, not being able to eat red meat can cause a cascade of downstream effects due to nutrient deficiency. In this episode ANP Dette Avalon, author of The Ultimate Guide to Alpha Gal Syndrome, explains what it is and the devastation it causes. While there is no one magic bullet for it that we know of yet, Dr Stephanie Seneff PhD joins us to make the link between Alpha Gal and glyphosate toxicity. We talk about mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and its connection to alpha gal and glyphosate, the importance of a healthy microbiome, the impact of "cross reactive proteins", the benefits of sauerkraut, the mitochondria and deuterium link, the importance of vitamin D and cholesterol, and other solutions that they've found.
