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.

Paraxanthine: Caffeine has been Upgraded with Shawn Wells
You may have heard that you are a "slow" or "fast" oxidizer of caffeine which determines how you respond to coffee and caffeine. Until now I never understood what it is we're after when we consume caffeine: is it energy or is it paraxanthine? Shawn Wells, author of the Energy Formula and cofounder of Enfinity, breaks down the metabolite that is behind all of the health benefits of caffeine. Paraxanthine is still a stimulant but its effects are smoother than caffeine, especially for us slow metabolizers, which according to one study is nearly 60% of us. He shares the current research on this fascinating alkaloid up to this point and I share my experience drinking the Update energy drink as a coffee replacement.

The Dark Side of Antibiotics with Kiley Woodland
Fluoroquinolones such as Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox are antibiotics commonly used to treat or prevent serious bacterial infections such as sinusitis, bronchitis and urinary tract infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control statistics, American doctors wrote nearly 30 million fluoroquinolone antibiotic prescriptions in 2016. A 2016 FDA safety review stated that fluoroquinolones are associated with disabling and potentially permanent serious side effects that can occur together. These side effects can involve the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and central nervous system. Fluoroquinolone toxicity can cause severe mitochondrial damage in the body. This condition is commonly misdiagnosed as lymes, MS, arthritis, fibromyalgia among others. Kiley Woodland is a singer songwriter and recording artist and was opening for KISS with her band shortly before she was given cipro, one of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics, which ended up causing such severe debilitating side effects it put her in a wheelchair. Kiley has since started sharing her journey to educate others on the dark side of fluoroquinolone antibiotics that often no one is told about. In this episode she talks about how fluoroquinolones harm the cells, the "fluoroquinolone bomb going off", where genetics and nutrient deficiencies play in to a recovery plan, and the two most important minerals that are chelated out with fluoroquinolone toxicity.
