“And that was her pretty much her diet was salmon and vegetables. Really? Yeah. We did a little bit of pomegranate, a little bit of blueberry. And what kind of vegetables? Sauteed vegetables, steamed vegetables? We almost did primarily steamed, raw, and juiced. It was a combination of all three. And with that, we also started doing a lot of herbs.”
“injections, and then really following more of what we'd call, it's not quite ketogenic, but basically the diet I have him doing is like cabbage, bok choy, salmon, apples, blueberry. It's a very, very simple diet, but that's the sort of- And that's what he sticks to.”
“really increase nitric oxide, really reduce oxidative stress as much as possible. I think that's key. So the diet should look like lots of wild caught salmon and fish, lots of blueberries, lots of pomegranate apples, which are actually pretty beneficial here. I would do garlic.”
“And I have him do one piece of fruit a day. And it's typically just, it's an apple or blueberries. And that's primarily it. But for most people, generally, I think, if you want to know what to do, meat, vegetables, low glycemic fruit.”
“It's iron, B12, and sodium. I mean, that's maybe what they're getting tested. Yeah. Yeah. What about magnesium? Right. What about zinc? Yeah, to your point. Silica. Folate You know, so these nutrients are so important. So that's the other thing I always run”
“but even more, and again, some people check for that, but if your zinc or magnesium is in the tank or folate, your body has a very hard time healing. I'll share with you, this story is an example for this. So when I had my spinal infection and didn't walk for a full year and I was so sick, for the next two years after I was rehabbing, doing everything I could, but I battled low energy.”
“Okay. So the markers that I really like for a lot of the nutrients, they're called RBC. So it's red blood cell, like RBC magnesium, RBC selenium. So it's actually testing, and this is so important, it's testing what's in your cell, not what's in your blood.”
“Like I would much rather have somebody have fewer markers and test red blood cell, like looking at cellular magnesium and cellular zinc and MMA, which is the cellular B12. Knowing those markers versus the standard, I don't know, LDL cholesterol, that's so outdated when ApoB and LPA are so much more important.”
“And so I put together a protocol for her of radically changing her diet. We did a lot of vegetables and vegetable juices, wild caught salmon. And that was her pretty much her diet was salmon and vegetables. Really? Yeah. We did a little bit of pomegranate, a little bit of blueberry. And what kind of vegetables?”
“injections, and then really following more of what we'd call, it's not quite ketogenic, but basically the diet I have him doing is like cabbage, bok choy, salmon, apples, blueberry. It's a very, very simple diet, but that's the sort of- And that's what he sticks to.”
“Meat, vegetables, low-glycemic fruit. I mean, if you're wondering what to do, you know, the person I'm counseling right now, and we're going through his natural cancer protocol, it's I'm having him eat salmon predominantly. And, you know, and other people would have them do chicken and fish and eggs, you know, so get a lot of protein.”
“That's in the evening. Yeah. And I have him do bok choy. I mean, he does other things. But just- Generally, his diet is pretty much salmon and steamed vegetables. And I have him do one piece of fruit a day. And it's typically just, it's an apple or blueberries.”
“If somebody goes and gets a blood panel, most often they get zero nutrients checked. Oh, yeah, yeah. And if they do, B12, sodium,. It's iron, B12, and sodium. I mean, that's maybe what they're getting tested. Yeah. Yeah. What about magnesium? Right. What about zinc?”
“I talk about this all the time, I mean, so much. So much B12 deficiency shows high B12 in the blood. Yes. And it's a really hard concept to wrap your arms around, but we're pulling, you know, nutrient concentrations from the serum of the blood, not from inside the cell.”
“And when the cell is not metabolizing it, using that fuel, it builds up in the blood, and we go, oh gosh, I better cut my B12. You know, no, you need to just change the form- of B12 that you're using. I have put patients on, no, I don't have patients, I have clients, on B12 supplementation and their B12 has gone down because they start to metabolize.”
“and test red blood cell, like looking at cellular magnesium and cellular zinc and MMA, which is the cellular B12. Knowing those markers versus the standard, I don't know, LDL cholesterol, that's so outdated when ApoB and LPA are so much more important.”
“and then other types of blood work, what if somebody is massively deficient in zinc, or vitamin D, or even iron, I mean, or omega-3s. And so being able to get the right testing done, I think to know, hey, what are the tools that are going to make the biggest difference? For instance,”
“I mean, that's maybe what they're getting tested. Yeah. Yeah. What about magnesium? Right. What about zinc? Yeah, to your point. Silica. Folate You know, so these nutrients are so important. So that's the other thing I always run is we run a really, I like to run a really expansive micronutrient panel”
“but even more, and again, some people check for that, but if your zinc or magnesium is in the tank or folate, your body has a very hard time healing. I'll share with you, this story is an example for this. So when I had my spinal infection and didn't walk for a full year and I was so sick, for the next two years after I was rehabbing, doing everything I could, but I battled low energy.”
“and test red blood cell, like looking at cellular magnesium and cellular zinc and MMA, which is the cellular B12. Knowing those markers versus the standard, I don't know, LDL cholesterol, that's so outdated when ApoB and LPA are so much more important.”
“So, with those people, it's ashwagandha in the morning, maybe reishi or holy basil in the afternoon. So, calming in the morning, even ashwagandha. The thing about ashwagandha, this is interesting. So, this is where Chinese medicine's really interesting, is that they have...”
“and affected the body the same way. Ashwagandha is known as a qi yang booster. That means it's both anabolic and it's boosting of qi. And qi could also be cellular energy, ATP, and also supporting cortisol.”
“So when you're, if you're trying to increase your sleep long-term and improve it, ashwagandha and reishi mushroom are probably the two best for that long-term balance. To your point, if you take valerian root, you're gonna wake up in the morning groggy. Right. And nobody likes that.”
“and then other types of blood work, what if somebody is massively deficient in zinc, or vitamin D, or even iron, I mean, or omega-3s. And so being able to get the right testing done, I think to know, hey, what are the tools that are going to make the biggest difference? For instance, this person we just did this blood work on, we found that the number one therapy for them, that's”
“like I found out that I don't convert vitamin D well. So, and I don't convert omega-3s well. Yeah. And so, like, it very much- Yeah. Changed the way I supplemented. And when I was able to get the blood work genetically in an advanced panel, I'm telling you, again, and it's like, Gary, I already know what to do, generally speaking.”
“And, you know, your cells essentially are almost like little bodies. They have organs. We call them organelles. And I started doing research on how to heal the cell membrane, which, of course, fatty acids like omega-3s and phospholipids, and preventing oxidative stress, high-dose glutathione. I mean, these things are amazing for the cell membrane.”
“and then other types of blood work, what if somebody is massively deficient in zinc, or vitamin D, or even iron, I mean, or omega-3s. And so being able to get the right testing done, I think to know, hey, what are the tools that are going to make the biggest difference? For instance,”
“is we run a really, I like to run a really expansive micronutrient panel because you know this, if somebody's vitamin D is in the tank, but even more, and again, some people check for that, but if your zinc or magnesium is in the tank or folate, your body has a very hard time healing.”
“not only looking at MTHFR- Oh, yeah. But COMT and AMO and VDL, like I found out that I don't convert vitamin D well. So, and I don't convert omega-3s well. Yeah. And so, like, it very much- Yeah. Changed the way I supplemented. And when I was able to get the blood work genetically in an advanced panel, I'm telling you, again, and it's like, Gary, I already know what to do, generally speaking.”
“really increase nitric oxide, really reduce oxidative stress as much as possible. I think that's key. So the diet should look like lots of wild caught salmon and fish, lots of blueberries, lots of pomegranate apples, which are actually pretty beneficial here. I would do garlic.”
“and we're going through his natural cancer protocol, it's I'm having him eat salmon predominantly. And, you know, and other people would have them do chicken and fish and eggs, you know, so get a lot of protein. And then it's pomegranate. It's berries. It's apples. It's kiwi. You know, it's these- So he is getting some sugars.”
“So, with those people, it's ashwagandha in the morning, maybe reishi or holy basil in the afternoon. So, calming in the morning, even ashwagandha. The thing about ashwagandha, this is interesting. So, this is where Chinese medicine's really interesting, is that they have...”
“So it's addressing both of those issues simultaneously. Wow. Versus holy basil is a little bit more calming. And so taking it more in the evening is also gonna typically be a little bit better for maybe where that cortisol cycle is.”
“and then other types of blood work, what if somebody is massively deficient in zinc, or vitamin D, or even iron, I mean, or omega-3s. And so being able to get the right testing done, I think to know, hey, what are the tools that are going to make the biggest difference? For instance,”
“If somebody goes and gets a blood panel, most often they get zero nutrients checked. Oh, yeah, yeah. And if they do, B12, sodium,. It's iron, B12, and sodium. I mean, that's maybe what they're getting tested. Yeah. Yeah. What about magnesium? Right. What about zinc? Yeah, to your point. Silica. Folate”
“is also gonna typically be a little bit better for maybe where that cortisol cycle is. I mean, I take a sleep formula with, ashwagandha, L-theanine, tryptophan. And other than if I have to urinate at night, I do not wake up.”
“you're gonna wake up in the morning groggy. Right. And nobody likes that. So I agree. I think apigenin, which is found in chamomile tea, magnolia bark, to your point, tryptophan, theanine, these are really amazing. These are great herbs or herbal compounds that calm the body, but also they're not gonna give you that drowsy feeling the next day.”
“is also gonna typically be a little bit better for maybe where that cortisol cycle is. I mean, I take a sleep formula with, ashwagandha, L-theanine, tryptophan. And other than if I have to urinate at night, I do not wake up.”

“And that's worked very well for me. I don't do well with melatonin. In fact, most of my clients don't do well with melatonin. And- And I find that it either creates like really vivid dreams, like very, very vivid, intense dreams.”
“It even can create a dependency. They have trouble sleeping when they're not on it. So I haven't become a big fan of melatonin, but ashwagandha, tryptophan, L-theanine, I've seen miracles with that on a regular basis. Cause it seems like it's non-tranquilitic.”
“And that was her pretty much her diet was salmon and vegetables. Really? Yeah. We did a little bit of pomegranate, a little bit of blueberry. And what kind of vegetables? Sauteed vegetables, steamed vegetables? We almost did primarily steamed, raw, and juiced. It was a combination of all three. And with that, we also started doing a lot of herbs.”
“I think that's key. So the diet should look like lots of wild caught salmon and fish, lots of blueberries, lots of pomegranate apples, which are actually pretty beneficial here. I would do garlic. I would do lots of steamed vegetables.”
“And I did. And I did. And only two things showed up. Riboflavin, vitamin B2 was almost zero. I mean, it was like non-existent. And then my mitochondria health, it said was just absolutely depleted. Part of that might've been, I had to get on an IV antibiotic when I had my infection.”
“It's not as hard on your gut, but it's harder on your mitochondria. Yeah. And so then I just, I started supplementing with high dose vitamin B2 and taking more mitochondria support, like CoQ10, PQQ, NAD+. And my energy, Gary went from a six out of 10 to a 10 out of 10.”
“Okay. I was so impressed with her slalom skiing back and forth. And so she is doing incredibly well. But I think a big part of her healing was doing the higher doses of this herbal medicine, especially turmeric and turkey tail mushroom. A number of other things she did. And it's 20 years later now.”
“are going to benefit from. Again, turmeric is going to be incredibly high on that list. Ginger is going to be high on that list. Yeah, there's ashwagandha is probably going to be very high on that list.”
“To your point, if you take valerian root, you're gonna wake up in the morning groggy. Right. And nobody likes that. So I agree. I think apigenin, which is found in chamomile tea, magnolia bark, to your point, tryptophan, theanine, these are really amazing.

“I think that's key. So the diet should look like lots of wild caught salmon and fish, lots of blueberries, lots of pomegranate apples, which are actually pretty beneficial here. I would do garlic. I would do lots of steamed vegetables.”
“of the conventional medicine where they're saying, don't eat seed oils, but eat all the butter and tallow you want, okay? And then there's another group here saying, well, butter, butter and tallow will kill you. And then, but seed oils actually aren't that bad. In fact, they're better than that. I don't, actually, I think sometimes they can both be right”
“You know, for instance, as an example. Wow. Like if somebody's tongue is really pale and it's like a pale pink rather than a bright, vibrant pink, no raw vegetables, lots of red meat, do beets. I mean, I can tell from somebody's tongue, it's just incredibly, incredibly accurate.”
“you're gonna wake up in the morning groggy. Right. And nobody likes that. So I agree. I think apigenin, which is found in chamomile tea, magnolia bark, to your point, tryptophan, theanine, these are really amazing. These are great herbs or herbal compounds that calm the body, but also they're not gonna give you that drowsy feeling the next day.”
“cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Love it. That's the first thing I do in the morning before coffee, before water, before, even before I do my morning stack. And then about 25, 30 minutes later, I start coffee in my morning stack.”
“So the fastest way to build mitochondria is boosting your muscle mass. Yeah. So weight training. So, you know,. Get some bands at home or some dumbbells. Do that sort of thing. And from a dietary standpoint, meat and vegetables and low-glycemic fruit.”
“and maybe there's an herb like skullcap or something like that. So, that's it. And then, the other one is blood work. If I have somebody come in, and their Dutch test, their cortisol is just completely backwards, maybe I'll have them do ush. I see that a lot, actually, that inversion of cortisol. Happened to my wife in menopause.”
“and we're going through his natural cancer protocol, it's I'm having him eat salmon predominantly. And, you know, and other people would have them do chicken and fish and eggs, you know, so get a lot of protein. And then it's pomegranate. It's berries. It's apples. It's kiwi. You know, it's these- So he is getting some sugars.”
“You wanna do low moderate fat, but just do the right fats. And it's extroverted. Extra virgin olive oil really should be almost the only oil you're doing. I do so much extra virgin olive oil. And I start every morning with a shot of really good expeller pressed, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.”
“I do think it depends upon the person, but I think that blood panel, number one, and then number two, hey, what are your symptoms? For a lot of people, a GI map is incredibly beneficial. I think for some people, I mean, I love a genetics variant test, not only looking at MTHFR- Oh, yeah. But COMT and AMO and VDL, like I found out that I don't convert vitamin D well.”
“are going to benefit from. Again, turmeric is going to be incredibly high on that list. Ginger is going to be high on that list. Yeah, there's ashwagandha is probably going to be very high on that list. So, those are some herbs, generally, almost everyone can benefit from. But I am very protocol-focused on, hey, let's put together the exact game plan that's going to be the best for you to heal.”
“and preventing oxidative stress, high-dose glutathione. I mean, these things are amazing for the cell membrane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen people go through these PK protocols and have life-changing progress. I mean, and to your point, hydrogen. Yeah. I mean, that's also incredibly protective against oxidative stress.”
“How do I heal those cells that are damaged? And so I went down the rabbit hole reading every study possible. Then I came across a study for one on hyperbaric chambers on how one of the best things you could ever do with that type of infection is do, get in a hyperbaric chamber. So I got in a hyperbaric chamber almost every day for 90 days.”
“you're gonna wake up in the morning groggy. Right. And nobody likes that. So I agree. I think apigenin, which is found in chamomile tea, magnolia bark, to your point, tryptophan, theanine, these are really amazing. These are great herbs or herbal compounds that calm the body, but also they're not gonna give you that drowsy feeling the next day.”
“I mean, and to your point, hydrogen. Yeah. I mean, that's also incredibly protective against oxidative stress. And then doing things for the mitochondria. So, I just broke down and looked at the cell and said, okay, you know what? Hypothyroidism, that's primarily a mitochondrial issue.”
“It's not as hard on your gut, but it's harder on your mitochondria. Yeah. And so then I just, I started supplementing with high dose vitamin B2 and taking more mitochondria support, like CoQ10, PQQ, NAD+. And my energy, Gary went from a six out of 10 to a 10 out of 10.”
“But when you're taking... And the other thing that was pretty amazing, when you look at the clinical literature, when you have turmeric, turmeric going head-to-head with an NSAID, in the short term, an NSAID might create a little bit more pain relief. But turmeric is still 80%. I mean, it's very close to the long-term pain relief.”
“and that's about it. Phosphatidylcholine or phospholipids? Phospholipids, but phosphatidylcholine will be part of the phospholipids for sure, absolutely. So I do think that the omegas that I think, and then I think doing some of the herbals that are gonna reduce oxidative stress, you know, keeping cortisol low, that's probably the other really big thing, I think, that's gonna help LPA.”
“And, you know, your cells essentially are almost like little bodies. They have organs. We call them organelles. And I started doing research on how to heal the cell membrane, which, of course, fatty acids like omega-3s and phospholipids, and preventing oxidative stress, high-dose glutathione.

“and maybe there's an herb like skullcap or something like that. So, that's it. And then, the other one is blood work. If I have somebody come in, and their Dutch test, their cortisol is just completely backwards, maybe I'll have them do ush.”
“Because I've done the CNA, the cellular micronutrient assay. There's one by- SpectraCell. SpectraCell is a good one. And then Vibrant has one. Vibrant. We run, in my clinic, we run it through Quest. And it's one that I've just put together based on the markers I like most.”
“down this rabbit hole on this, on this podcast. I know that you believe that too. And I, I read And I read your book about the biblical diet and I think it's absolutely spot on.”
“Okay. I was so impressed with her slalom skiing back and forth. And so she is doing incredibly well. But I think a big part of her healing was doing the higher doses of this herbal medicine, especially turmeric and turkey tail mushroom. A number of other things she did. And it's 20 years later now.”
“really try and increase omega-3 intake, really increase nitric oxide, really reduce oxidative stress as much as possible. I think that's key. So the diet should look like lots of wild caught salmon and fish, lots of blueberries, lots of pomegranate apples, which are actually pretty beneficial here. I would do garlic.”

“most of the studies show the single most beneficial, and this is kind of crazy, the single most beneficial thing for overcoming childhood trauma is a person just writing about it...
