    Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint PowellA variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Why Your Collagen and Probiotic Supplements May Be Falling Short [0:02:32] State of U.S. Health & Helpful Resources Ed discusses declining national health despite record healthcare spending.Emphasis on personal responsibility: lifestyle, nutrition, and smart supplementation.Recommends EWG.org and the EWG app to check toxicity and “forever chemicals” in consumer products, especially cosmetics and personal care.Curt shares he researches through Perplexity AI (more conventional) and Bright Answers (more alternative), then lands in the middle. [0:05:04] Toxins, Seed Oils & Distrust in Food Labeling Discussion of a UC study on avocado oil products showing many were adulterated with seed oils.Curt describes feeling “betrayed” by brands that market as healthy but hide poor ingredients.Ed notes avocado oil is highly prone to contamination; olive oil tends to be more reliable.Brief mention of tallow‑fried chips sold at Nutrition World—nutritionally superior but pricier. [0:06:11] Local Food Spots, Tallow Cooking & Health Fair Announcement Ed highlights Tallow House (Chattanooga/Cleveland area): simple menu, tallow‑fried foods, attention to high‑quality ingredients.Kurt praises a local Steak and Shake using 100% grass‑fed burgers and tallow‑fried fries/tots.Ed mentions Portofino as a regular spot (shish kebabs, salads, better‑quality olive oil, his drink “Edward’s Elixir”).Announcement: October 24 Health Fair—described as the largest health fair in the region. [0:08:10] Fertility Challenges & Free Lecture by Katie Poole, NP Promotion of a free fertility lecture by Katie Poole (nurse practitioner) on September 16 at 7 p.m.Details available under Events at nutritionw.com.Main contributors to fertility struggles: hormone imbalances, PCOS, chronic inflammation, nutrition, stress.Ed shares success stories of women who conceived within months after working with Katie on testing and protocol changes. [0:09:25] Pepcid, Reflux, Serotonin & Histamine Angle Ed asks about Pepcid (famotidine).Kurt: Pepcid is an H2 blocker used for reflux/heartburn; overall very safe for symptom control.Comparison to PPIs (e.g., Prilosec): PPIs take 6–8 hours to start working and are not good “take it when you’re hurting right now” drugs.Concerns about long‑term PPI use and overuse. Ed references Dr. Peter McCullough’s comments on serotonin syndrome and notes Pepcid has been discussed as part of managing issues tied to high serotonin/histamine (not medical advice, but shared as education). [0:11:30] Ed’s Bodybuilding Prep, Pain Flare, Oxalates & Pepcid Relief Ed details his Chattanooga Fitness Bodybuilding Contest prep (Jan 2–July 11): 6 days/week lifting + 1 day cardio, felt exceptional with no aches/pains despite age 69. Two weeks after relaxing his diet post‑contest, he developed significant morning and nighttime aches.Suspected contributors Increased oxalate intakeHistamine issues After starting Pepcid based on McCullough’s article, Ed reports near‑total relief of pain within one day, strengthening his belief in a histamine/serotonin component. [0:16:39] Collagen 101 Introduction of Reagan, Registered Dietitian and National Educator for Ancient Nutrition.Ed recounts his double hip replacement and heavy, “double‑dose” collagen regimen before/during/after surgery, crediting it with very rapid recovery (back to work ~day 7, gym ~day 9).Reagan defines collagen: A structural protein and most abundant protein in the body.Key for joints, skin, hair, nails, ligaments, tendons, bone matrix, and gut lining. [0:18:10] Modern Diet vs. Nose‑to‑Tail Eating & Collagen Decline with Age Past generations consumed collagen via nose‑to‑tail eating (skin, connective tissue, cartilage, broths).Modern diets focus on muscle meat, leading to low natural collagen intake.Reagan: collagen production drops starting around age 25, accelerating visible aging and tissue wear.Supplementation (or deliberate dietary choices) can help replenish and support these structures. [0:19:37] Forms, Dosing & Multi‑Type Collagen Ed prefers powders over capsules to reach meaningful doses.Reagan: unflavored hydrolyzed collagen Mixes easily into beverages and foods.Is heat‑stable, so cooking and baking with it is fine. Emphasis on multi‑collagen formulas (multiple types, e.g., I, II, III, etc.) because each type targets different tissues. Reagan explains hydrolysis: proteins are broken into smaller peptides/amino acids for easier absorption.Recommended to choose “hydrolyzed collagen peptides” for best utilization. [0:24:35] Collagen vs. Whey Protein & Visible Benefits Reagan confirms collagen cannot replace whey...

    Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint PowellA variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Post-COVID Gut Health and Rethinking Blood Pressure Targets [0:04:24] – Nutrition World Health Fair & Upcoming Lectures Ed announces Nutrition World’s Health Fair on October 24 (described as one of the biggest in the region).Emphasis on two “types of people”: learners vs. non‑learners; audience is framed as “learners.”Preview of free 30–40 minute lectures during the fair: Dave from Tonal Spine – energy systems and spinal health (non-traditional, beyond standard chiropractic).Laura Chastain – Optimize You – especially women’s hormones; described as very skilled and experienced.Dr. Shalay (Chicago) – integrative healthcare, helping the body heal itself vs. “band-aid” approaches.Charles – Scenic City Neurotherapy – IV ketamine for: Chronic anxiety and depressionPTSDSome applications in joint pain/arthritis (Ed notes his own experience for hip pain). Strong emphasis on root-cause medicine vs. symptom masking. [0:08:25] – Butter Wrappers & “Forever Chemicals” Ed raises a niche but practical topic: chemicals in butter wrappers.Refers to testing reported by Mammovation: Higher concern (more fluorine / “forever chemicals”): Kerrygold Pure Irish ButterLand O’ Lakes salted butter Better / lower concern options: Kirkland (Costco) – lower levelsBest butter wrappers listed: Whole Foods Market butterHorizonKate’s SaltedKirkland Organic Salted Butter Takeaway: Shop with knowledge; packaging/liners can be a hidden health variable. [0:12:50] – Nurse Practitioner Meredith Mason (Brio Functional Medicine) Introduction: Guest: Meredith Mason, NP, founder of Brio Functional Medicine (opened in 2018).Ed recalls having her on roughly seven years ago. COVID & long-COVID context: Meredith had two years of practice before COVID; she values that pre-COVID baseline.Notes a “triad” she sees repeatedly since COVID: Chronic fatigueMast cell / high-histamine symptomsDigestive complaints / gut issues Clinic intake includes a 20-page questionnaire; many patients answer “When did you last feel well?” with: “2019”“Before I had COVID”“Before COVID vaccination” Meredith’s personal health journey: At ~18–19, she had a mysterious illness with severe throat infection, ER visit, fatigue, and eventual chronic pain and fatigue.This pushed her toward integrative and root-cause medicine. COVID leading to apparent Epstein–Barr reactivation: After an infection in late 2021, she develops: Marked fatigueMast-cell-type histamine issuesDigestive symptoms Suspects Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, not just mitochondrial dysfunction.Meredith’s own approach: Used a Kasia Kines‑style nutritional protocol plus antivirals with a Florida physician.Her Early Antigen D normalized, with improved fatigue. EBV & herpesvirus family: Clarifies: Epstein–Barr is a herpesvirus, in the same family as: CMV (cytomegalovirus)HSV-1/HSV-2Varicella (chickenpox) High-dose lysine known to slow replication of herpes viruses. [0:23:14] – H. pylori, Histamine Intolerance & Post-COVID Gut Changes Meredith’s own mast-cell / histamine journey: Developed severe histamine symptoms post-COVID.Conventional H1 and H2 blockers (Claritin, Zyrtec, Pepcid/Famotidine) did not resolve issues.She also tried quercetin, luteolin, and evaluated genetics (DAO and HNMT) but didn’t find a complete explanation. Turning to the gut: Ordered a GI-MAP functional stool test and found: Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella pneumoniae – both high histamine‑producing bacteria. Hypothesis: COVID changes the gut microbiome (e.g., lowering beneficial Bifidobacteria), creating an environment for histamine­‑producing species to overgrow. Widespread H. pylori findings: In recent stool tests, >90% of her patients are now positive for H. pylori.H. pylori: Is a mast-cell activatorClassically associated with stomach ulcers, but also with pancreatic cancer Meredith notes a personal family loss to pancreatic cancer in someone with prior H. pylori. Testing approaches: Functional medicine: GI-MAP (DNA-based) often picks up H. pylori even when: Breath tests,Endoscopic biopsies, orTraditional antibody tests come back negative. Distinguishes: Blood antibodies – tell you if you’ve ever had H. pylori, not necessarily current infection.Stool antigen/DNA – better for current infection. When to treat: She monitors elastase-1 (pancreatic enzyme output) on stool testing: Low elastase suggests H. pylori may be impairing stomach acid and downstream digestion. Treatment approach: Main tool: Mastic gum (a Mediterranean shrub extract) twice daily.Sometimes bismuth/Pepto‑style support depending on symptoms.Ed notes he often ...

    Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint PowellA variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: The Importance of Bloodwork and Tips for Improving your Numbers [0:00:00] – Intro, Episode Preview & Themes Ed previews today’s topics: A recent podcast appearance with Clint featuring Rich Hernandez.Cutting boards and microplastics.A “great story” on psilocybin and Alzheimer’s.What happens to glyphosate in forest fires. Teaser for guest Marlene from Be Well Labs (second segment) to discuss advanced blood work. [0:02:31] – Rich Hernandez, Push-Up Challenges & Discipline vs. Motivation Story of Rich Hernandez (Do Hard Things 365): 13,000 push-ups from sunrise to sunset in one day (no knees).~373,000 push-ups in one year.Attempting push-up world records and touring gyms/CrossFit boxes. Discussion of discipline vs. motivation: Motivation “comes and goes like the weather”; discipline is what actually changes lives.Daily commitment to “do hard things,” inspired also by David Goggins mindset.Ed’s personal example: waking up ~2:30 a.m. and going to the gym even when feeling bad; he’s “wired” not to choose the easy path.Clint’s point: everyone has habits; disciplined people are just intentional about them. [0:06:23] – Health Fair & Safer Tanning (Chocolate Sun) Ed promotes the Nutrition World Health Fair on October 24: Many reps, free samples, and lectures; organized by Cady Personal story: spray tanning for a Chattanooga fitness competition: Conventional spray tans contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals and can darken freckles/sun damage. Introduction of Chocolate Sun: A natural sunless tanner sold at Nutrition World for ~6 years.Ingredients are extremely clean (“so pure you could eat the ingredients”).Gradual, natural-looking tan over ~5 days.Smells pleasant (e.g., Sweet Orange), unlike typical sunless tanners. [0:08:51] – Ed’s E‑Books & Using AI as a Health Coach Ed lists his 6 e‑books (free at theholisticnavigator.com): SleepOxalates“Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?”The Core Four (foundational supplements)Immune systemHow to Use AI for Health and Fitness (recently updated) Ed’s fitness transformation: Used AI as a primary coach plus a human coach.From 14% body fat to 8.3% from Jan 2 to July 11.AI provided accountability and constant feedback. [0:10:45] – Good Fats vs. Bad Fats Ed addresses a frequently asked question: “What’s a good fat and a bad fat?”Bad fats (especially seed oils): Canola, soybean, peanut, corn, safflower, grapeseed, cottonseed oilMargarine, hydrogenated oilsCommon in processed foods and especially salad dressings.Seed oils damage mitochondrial function and take ~4 years to clear. Good fats: Butter (preferably organic)Tallow (beef fat)Ghee (though Ed doesn’t love the taste)Coconut milk/oilAvocado oil (brand quality matters; oxidation issues)Olive oil (Ed especially trusts Life Extension brand)Fish oil (must be high quality)Eggs (Nutrition World sells high-quality eggs) Emphasis: mainstream cardiology may differ, but integrative/functional practitioners focus more on overall markers and inflammation than just cholesterol. [0:15:48] – Segment 2: Intro of Marlene & Framing Advanced Blood Work Ed’s analogy: Just as you routinely check your financial accounts to prepare for retirement, you must regularly check your “health account” via comprehensive blood work.Standard physical lab panels are limited for prevention & optimization. Be Well Labs: Convenient walk-in clinic on Lee Highway.Quick turnaround (2–3 days) for lab results.Options for consultations to interpret and build an optimization plan. [0:18:02] – “Body Blueprint” Panel: What It Is & Why It Matters Marlene’s story: recent walk-in cases where lab work revealed serious issues requiring immediate hospital evaluation.Introduction of the “Body Blueprint” package: Designed as a comprehensive wellness check: Blood testingLab analysisUrinalysisBody compositionVital signs Focus on optimization, not just diagnosing disease.Opportunity to review supplement regimens and lifestyle alignment with lab data. Pricing & value: Regularly $500, currently $275.Can be used like a yearly “wellness physical”.Clint notes it works well as a gift [0:20:25] – Cardiovascular Risk Markers & Limits of Standard Physicals Ed on cardiovascular disease: Major risk for most people is heart attack, stroke, and plaque.Traditional physicals usually check only a few markers. Key advanced markers he values: ApoBLp(a)FibrinogenHomocysteineAnd others (Ed notes ~12 reasons for plaque formation, while standard care typically checks ~3). Observations from those using Be Well’s big panel: ~70% of people have significant issues that need attention.Only ~30% look ...

Lung Coach event at Nutrition World – August 22 Mobile screening for early lung cancer detection.Emphasis that stage 1–2 lung cancer is often curable, stage 4 is not.Calcium score used to estimate plaque burden in arteries.Ed notes ~12 reasons for plaque formation, while most physicians focus on ~3.Mentions Dr. Kurt Dearing’s book “Beyond Cholesterol”, covering broader causes of plaque. Financial health talk – August 22 (~11 AM) Michael E, financial planner, giving a free lecture on financial stability.Ed’s point: two major life disruptors are declining health and declining finances, and they influence each other. Health Fair – October 24 Described as possibly the biggest health fair in the region.Features reps, free samples, circus‑like but “happy” atmosphere. [0:04:10] Restaurant Talk Light banter about Ed being a restaurant connoisseur and creature of habit.Restaurant recommendations via Ed’s employee Fallon: Second Amendment / Second American (downtown).Hello Monty (special but reasonably priced menu). Ed’s oxalate/joint pain story: Eating Purely Elizabeth cereal (high in oxalates: chia and other ingredients) triggered severe return of joint painDiscussion that some “healthy” foods can be nutritious but not healthy for everyone, especially for those sensitive to oxalates.Ed references his free oxalate ebook at theholisticnavigator.com and believes oxalates contributed to: His double hip replacement.Feeling old from age 50–65. Mentions OxyGuard supplement (recently restocked) and using 4 capsules/day to help clear excess oxalates (not as a license to keep eating high‑oxalate foods). Quick shout‑out to local farmers from Virginia End Farm selling at Nutrition World on Wednesdays (12–4), and that they’ve listened to every show. [0:8:55] Tease: Phase Angle & Seca Machine Ed previews Dr. Kurt Dearing’s later segment on phase angle: A single number reflecting resilience and proximity to optimal health.. Mention of Be Well Labs / BeginwithLabs.com – Body Blueprint: Advanced lab panel: 50+ predictive health indicators.Pitch: more than a standard physical, actionable results.Price example: $275 vs typical $500, highlighting savings. [0:13:35] Segment Intro: Peptides & Weight Loss Framing: Peptides as one of the hottest trends in 47 years of Ed’s experience.Shift from grey‑market injectables to safe, effective oral peptide powders.Ed has seen impressive feedback on an oral peptide powder for weight loss in early customers. [0:13:47] What Are Peptides? Protein basics: Proteins are long chains of amino acids essential for structure, function, and regulation. Peptide defined: A shorter chain of amino acids broken off from a larger protein. Lego analogy: Individual Legos = amino acids.Tall tower of Legos = full protein.Kid knocks tower over; a small intact stack (~8 Legos) that falls off = peptide. Each peptide has a “fingerprint” determined by: Length (how many amino acids/Legos).Sequence (order: e.g., red–red–blue–blue vs red–blue–red–blue).Processing (how it was broken off or created). Clarified: peptides are not primarily for fixing protein deficiency, but more for targeted signaling effects in the body. [0:20:52] Yeast‑Derived Oral Peptide for Metabolism & Drug Comparisons Endogenous peptides: made naturally inside the body.Exogenous peptides: introduced from outside (drug injections, supplements).Ozempic / GLP‑1 drugs: Yes, Ozempic is a peptide.These drugs are lab‑made peptides made to mimic natural body peptides. Peptides are not synthetic drugs in concept; they are peptide structures the body uses, though drugs are engineered. Focus on Ancient Nutrition “Active Peptide for Metabolism”: Contains a yeast peptide derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer’s yeast), broken from a larger yeast protein. Mechanism & effects: Influences hunger and satiety signaling: Increases leptin (satiety hormone).Decreases ghrelin (hunger hormone). Reported benefits: Reduced hunger and cravings (including boredom eating).Weight loss primarily from fat mass, not muscle mass. Comparison with GLP‑1 injections (semaglutide, etc.): Injections often cause muscle loss (e.g., “Ozempic face,” loss of facial muscle/fat).Yeast peptide research shows fat‑centric weight loss. Clinical results quoted: After 2 months, average daily caloric intake decreased by ~600 calories.Leads to meaningful weight loss, depending on ...

Ed talks about Brian Johnson (longevity guru who spends ~$2M/year trying to live to 120): Johnson recently announced an autoimmune condition where his stomach is “eating its own stomach.”Ed admires his data and “Blueprint” protocol but believes two key factors in Johnson’s regimen contributed to this issue.Ed teases that one factor is excess oxalate-rich foods; the other factor is left as a teaser for Ed’s social media video. Ed announces a weekly farmers market at Nutrition World: Every Wednesday, inside the store, morning to mid-afternoon.Run by a young family with clean farming practices and minimal chemicals.Nutrition World does not profit from it; framed as a service to the community and support for small farmers. [0:05:04] – Upcoming Guests, Ed’s E‑Books & Podcasts Ed previews two interviews for this episode: Dr. Glenn – testing and managing spike proteins.Dr. Curt Dearing – discussing his new book “Beyond Cholesterol” and non-traditional views on cardiovascular risk. Ed’s e‑books: Six e‑books available on theholisticnavigator.com, including: Quality sleepOxalates and pain“Are You Sick and Tired?” (diet & overall health)Oral healthImmune system“Core Four” foundational supplements Podcasts: Ed mentions his Holistic Navigator podcastClint promotes Nooga Podcasts (noogapodcasts.com) – a network of 20+ podcasts. [0:09:26] – Interview with Dr. Glenn: What Are Spike Proteins & Why They Matter Dr. Glenn defines spike proteins: Discovered in the 1960s, normally part of viruses from nature.Our immune system usually recognizes and dissolves natural spike proteins. For COVID-era, lab-made spike proteins: They are not recognized properly by the body.They can persist and are not efficiently eliminated. Mechanism (simplified): Spike proteins interact with ACE2 receptors (“locks” on the cell door).They unlock and open the cell doors, enter the cells, and damage/destroy cells from the inside. Clint notes he never heard the term “spike protein” before COVID; Dr. Glenn explains: Previously, they weren’t an issue because the body just handled them.This is the first time in history we’ve dealt with lab-made spike proteins at scale. Dr. Glenn stresses this is not simply vaccinated vs. unvaccinated: mRNA vaccines were designed to produce spike proteins.But unvaccinated people with bad cases of COVID can also carry very high spike levels. His personal story: Got severe COVID in Jan 2020, pre-official naming: 2 weeks very ill on couch/bed.3 months to feel “recovered,” but that was just the start of long-term issues. Over the next 3+ years, progressive cellular damage accumulated, leading to a broad set of symptoms. Dr. Glenn’s symptoms when spikes were very high: Whites of eyes turned gray, with burning eyes all day (constant eye drops).Tinnitus (ringing in ears).Cyclical rashes under armpits.Burning nerves in quads; needed leg massage devices nightly to sleep.Gout attacks (kidneys not handling uric acid well).Venous congestion in lower left leg.Severe fatigue, getting sick frequently despite doing everything “right.”Developed endocarditis (inflammation of heart and valves); resting heart rate jumped from 55–60 to 80–105.Subtle Bell’s palsy–type weakness on left side of face and brain symptoms. Laboratory findings: Test: SARS‑CoV‑2 spike protein antibody test (semi-quantitative).Thresholds: 1000: likely too high, potential cell damage.5000: “a whole other level of danger.” His highest result: 11,694 (measured around Oct 28, 2023). Progress over four tests: 11,694 → 11,087 → ~9,950 → 8,905 (as of June 30, current year).Many symptoms have significantly improved, though: Heart rate better but not back to baseline.Tinnitus persists.Spike level is still high, so work remains. Symptoms can vary dramatically from person to person: Because spikes can enter different “doors” (cells/tissues) in different bodies.One person’s profile may be mostly neurological; another’s cardiovascular, etc. Dr. Glenn’s clinic policy: He will not work with someone on issues like hormones, gut, or cognitive problems without a spike antibody test, because: Otherwise they may be “paddling upstream” against ongoing spike-related damage. ...
