Toxic Superfoods and Chronic Health Issues with Sally K. Norton, MPH - S2E21

There are some health issues that come from where you least expect it!In this episode, Kashif is joined by Ivy-league Nutritionist Sally K. Norton, MPH. Sally holds a nutrition degree from Cornell University and a master’s degree in Public Health. Her path to becoming a leading expert on dietary oxalate includes a prior career working at major medical schools in medical education and public health research. Her personal healing experience inspired years of research that led to her book, Toxic Superfoods, which was released in January 2023 from Rodale Press and is available everywhere books are sold. The term superfoods is usually known to refer to food that keep us healthy but what if these superfoods actually do the exact opposite? That is where Sally and Kashif's discussion takes you  as they delve into what these superfoods contain. Oxalate is the specific chemical that may be found in food. It is rarely discussed but it greatly impacts our health as soon as it diffuses into our body's cells. Some of the aspects that oxalates may affect include membrane damage, oxidative strains on cells, inflammation, metabolism, and the lining of the gut. When these go unnoticed they may lead to fibrosis, cyst problems, and other autoimmune problems. With this in mind, Kashif and Sally touched on the following points to contribute to the knowledge of why it is important to be keen on what we consume:Toxic Superfoods such as almonds, chocolates, pseudo-grains, and some vegetables.How molds produce oxalateOxalate solubility and its relation to health and oxalate poisoningSally's pantry and food intake adviceWays to get around oxalated foodWhen symptoms show and the actions that must be takenHow to be mindful of mistakes and evaluating your overall consumption throughout your whole lifeYou may learn more from Sally from the following channels: Visit SallyKNorton.comSubscribe to Sally on YouTubeFollow Sally at @sknorton and @toxicsuperfoods_oxalate_book (on Instagram), @BeFreeToThrive  (on Facebook), and @BetterLowOx (on Twitter.) Sally K. Norton's book, “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick-and How to Get Better” was released January 2023 and it's available everywhere books are sold. ____________________________________________________________________Our friends at BiOptimizers have a really powerful enzyme supplement that helps you digest your food better so you can get more out of it.It’s called Masszymes.Improve your nutrient absorption and systemic enzymes today by going to bioptimizers.com!

The Truth About Grain Consumption and Other Factors that Affect Our Microbiomes with Dr. William Davis - S2E20

Have you ever tried out a diet just because it was trendy?In this episode, we take a deep dive into what these diets actually do to the microbiomes inside our body. Kashif is joined by Cardiologist and #1 New York Times Best-Seller, Dr. William Davis. Dr. William is known for his book series called Wheat Belly, and has authored books such as Undoctored, and most recently, Super Gut. There are truths about food that have been declared healthy for a period of time now yet are actually harmful. Take grain for example, a lot of people incorporate wheat and different types of grain which were actually modified so that there are increased yield yet were never questioned if they were still safe for human consumption as it produces toxins and binding materials that make you unable to absorb minerals that are needed by the body.Here are more points of discussion that were brought up in the episode:How certain truths about food are not common knowledgeThe different elements that we are exposed to that affect our healthThe effects of pest-resistant properties added into crops that we consumeThe state of modern soil and modern grain in relation to our healthThe gastrointestinal microbiomeSIBO - Small Intestinal Biome OvergrowthBacteriocins effective against fecal microbesHow to produce helpful microbes at homeHow lactobacillus reuteri affects social phenomenaOxytocin and physical healthSugar and other food's metabolic consequencesYou may learn more from William Davis through the following outlets:His website at drdavisinfinitehealth.comPurchasing his book, "Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight" on Amazon.____________________________________________________________________Our friends at BiOptimizers have a really powerful enzyme supplement that helps you digest your food better so you can get more out of it.It’s called Masszymes.Improve your nutrient absorption and systemic enzymes today by going to bioptimizers.com!

How You Can Alter Your Energetic And Informational Environment To Change Your Epigenetic Expression with Harry Massey - S2E19

Do you have an environment that energizes you?From a day-to-day basis, we often live off of energy drinks and other caffeinated products to make up for our low energy levels. We attribute it to the lack of sleep, fatigue, food, and other factors without delving deep into the root cause. In this episode, Kashif converses with Harry Massey who was bedridden for almost a decade due to a chronic fatigue syndrome before he could start rock-climbing again and doing all sorts of activities. This led him to the question, "How do you heal someone who is too sick to get out of bed?" which eventually led to his future of becoming a Bioenergetic Expert, CEO and Founder of NES Health, CEO of Energy4Life, and Chairman of XPO health. Harry shares his story of trying all sorts of diets and supplements as he studied energy to an extent that his team discovered a way to change genetic expression that enhances the body's capability to self-heal. Specifically, this is the study of Bioenergetics which pertains to energy in living systems. This involves being knowledgeable in the aspect of the following topics:Ensuring the diet we practice and the supplements we take are the most optimal for the genes present in our bodiesElectron TransferHow the body functions like a batteryThe Significance of Oxygen which serves as 90% of our energy flowUnderstanding sickness and its relation to our energy levelsThe different fields of energy and potential repair proteinsFuel-based control vs. Chemical-based control systemsProper breathworkProgressing beyond biochemical intervention, and finding solutions to energy blockagesExchanging energy with the environmentStem cellsEnergy plays a huge role in our lives on a daily basis and grasping the concept of it, as well as changing your environment can do wonders in preventing you from becoming gravely sick. Lifestyle changes based on your genetic expression can do wonders if done correctly and consistently.
