Welcome back to the conversation. Today, I have Dr. Todd Watts. Hi, so glad you’re here.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Thanks for having me on.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
You’re one of my most favorite people to talk to so thank you for doing this again with me. Once again we’re here. We’re going to talk about a different topic than we usually do. We’re going to talk about Lyme today, Lyme disease. Now, you’re known famously as the Parasite Guy but you also have extensive knowledge in functional and blood chemistry biochemistry. You have a passion for mitochondria energy production. You’re the cofounder of Cell Core Biosciences. You love to research and formulate products which have changed the world and you’re the first one to bring Mimosa Pudica seed to the general health market in the United States.
And you know from my heart you’re a mentor of mine and always have been somebody who I look to for answers in complex cases and really learning how to support people in this health journey. The topic you know of this summit is Silent Killers because there are so many toxins and infections underlying chronic diseases that I think are missed in many functional medicine practices. Also definitely missed in Western medicine. And you’re one of the people that helped me understand this. So thank you for doing this talk today about Lyme. I really appreciate you and your contribution to functional medicine.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Thank you. I really appreciate you having me on. I love this topic. it’s kind of my own personal journey.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. So let’s, maybe we start with some myth-busting and kind of help people understand about Lyme. So I’ll start with some pretty basic questions like how do we get exposed to it beyond the common tick bite because I think everybody thinks, I didn’t get bitten by a tick there’s no possible way I could have Lyme. So maybe you could start there with maybe some myth-busting for us and then we can get deeper into this.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Yeah. Sure. You can get bitten by a tick and get Lyme as well as parasites in that same tick but you can also get it from a mosquito. Mosquitoes, they’re not biased to what they hold and within themselves, not just viruses that they can pass on but also flea bites and spider bites. One of my mentors in Lyme disease Dr. Alan Leslie is over in Wisconsin there’s tons of this stuff out there in ticks, deer meat, and cow’s milk.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Wait. Eating deer meat? Eating deer meat
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Eating deer meat. So he’ll help these guys, these hunters come in and like claimed it’s not from Lyme and come back and, I have it check but boy sure got all the signs of Lyme again. It’s like you’ve been making that, you know, jerky again. Not cooking well enough or you know it can be right those things can be within some of the things you eat so that was interesting. For me, I don’t have that out here in Idaho so much like he saw over there in Wisconsin and Minnesota area but yeah. I mean, and you hear people, you know, transmission from person to person, a mother to baby kind of thing as well.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. And I’ve even heard, you know, I would say smart people debate that anybody who says that you can get Lyme beyond a tick bite is wrong and it’s not wrong.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Now, they’re even saying, I’ve heard rumors that like up to 85% of people have Lyme. It is just it’s not in active form and it’s just part of what we’ve all been exposed to it’s like herpes viruses. But 95 to 100% of people have herpes virus in the world so it’s the same sort of thought mentality. Is that it could be there just it’s kept at bay and doesn’t bother you.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. I mean, I’ve muscle tested positive for Lyme and I grew up in the woods, I climbed trees and played in the tall grass. I had a pet deer as a kid believe it or not. Yes, that’s a whole other story. Mosquitoes love me, they bite me everywhere I go. So pretty sure I’ve gotten a few diseases from all of my busy life but for some reason, I’m okay. Like my immune system is doing great, I’m here and I’m functioning. So what are some other myths about Lyme? And maybe you can touch on that not everybody has a devastating health crisis from Lyme.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Yeah, they don’t. It’s interesting because as I’ve gone through my own journey looking at it. Sure, I was muscle-tested. At a conference, I was listening to this guy talk about it. I had all the signs and symptoms of Lyme and Babesia and he said, you got it. So then I did random blood tests and I tested for Chronic Lyme and I had that for symptoms for a long time. I had no idea what it was. Why did I have all these arthritic symptoms at the age of 40? Why did I have headaches? Why did I have pain, chronic pain? Can’t get rid of mental brain fog and a bunch of the word recall issues and a variety of the symptoms that you typically see with Lyme. And it’s just like the answer from Western medicine was I just was getting older. That’s just normal for somebody who’s 40 and in their early forties. Well, you know, listening to this guy that Dr. Leslie that’s what he specializes in. I saw her in Minnesota and Wisconsin. And it just opened my mind up to all this stuff back in 2010.
And so then my world got opened up to where what else is going on? So one of the things I’ve seen with Chronic Lyme people, especially people that it doesn’t really exist. Chronic Lyme doesn’t exist according to Western medicine, but lots of people feel it and lots of people say, hey, they’ve done all these treatments. They’ve seen 50 doctors or 20 doctors and then IVs and all these herbs and everything for Lyme. Why does Lyme persist in the long term? You know, maybe it’s the fact that their immune system is suppressed. Maybe it’s the fact that their immune systems are imbalanced and we can go do a deeper dive on that. But that’s where we have to be aware because I result in lots of cases without ever having to treat Lyme by dealing with the other things.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
So what I’m hearing is our immune system can handle Lyme, but when it gets distracted with other infections, other toxins, and other things going on the Lyme can kind of rear up and cause a problem. Is that what I’m interpreting here?
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Exactly. It could be a car accident, it could be a divorce, and it could be some stressful event. Also, there’s a shift in the immune system and then also it’s opportunistic. It takes hold or maybe there’s a toxin you get exposed to in a pleomorphism into more of a pathogenic form and then it just goes crazy.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Okay. Well, I’d like to just stay right here where we’re at right now and unpack this a little bit more. I mean, I have a whole bunch of questions about Lyme but this is really relevant. So, for people who all of a sudden show up with Lyme disease and they didn’t have any, you know, they weren’t in the Midwest somewhere walking through fields and the woods and getting bit by ticks. Tell me what you’re seeing in your practice as some of the most common infections, diseases, and toxins that are a precursor to a Lyme flare that all of a sudden they’ve got this and they didn’t have it before.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Yeah. So I don’t ever remember being bitten by a tick ever in my life but you know somehow I had these issues. So what I have seen is that there is, it could be a fact that there are radioactive elements that could be in the water. In Wisconsin and the Midwest, in a lot of places that you hear about the radium belt. Illinois, Minnesota, and Texas have 80% of the water, and municipality water has higher than the allowable amount of radium in their water. So 177 million people are exposed to radioactive materials. I’m sure Dr. Jane will go into that stuff. The other thing is that there’s glyphosate. So there’s the increase of glyphosate. Chemicals can inhibit so many enzymatic reactions. The research shows 291 enzymatic reactions that then are inhibited in the body so then we can’t detox and can’t make hormones repair. It’s hard to make energy when we start getting mitochondria destruction from stuff like atrazine, colitis, and other environmental and industrial chemicals.
Then what will occur will then be a downregulation of mitochondrial function which is what modulates our immune system because the ATP molecule made in the mitochondria will go outside of the bottom out of the cell, and then become an immune signaler. So then we get tired, we get fatigued, and we’re not using that to do all these other things that we need to do so that’s where I see that. And then the other component to it, that imbalances the immune system is parasites. I talked about before cestodes tapeworms, nematodes, and trematodes. They can also upregulate T helper 2 cells (TH2) which then suppress one in that imbalance. And then now you’re exposed. But you’re exposed to stuff like bacteria, protozoans which are Lyme co-infection viruses, and all these things that will test really high in your bloodstream which your body just can’t handle it. And so my approach has been to downregulate the parasitic infections, balance the immune system out, and then the body can take care of it, and resolve itself.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
So instead of going on, you know, a super deep Lyme protocol. You’re actually solving underlying problems and root causes that allowed the immune system to be distracted and not be able to handle the Lyme in the first place. And then once those other issues are handled now your immune system can solve Lyme.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Exactly. And you have to go back to some basic theories in science. One is the germ theory, which is what modern medicine is all about. We kill that virus, we kill the bacteria or the terrain theory, which means that the bugs are there to help process the toxins and help us clear out whatever we need. We have candida, we have fungus because there’s a toxin or radioactive elements, and we have bacteria as it’s breaking down chemicals and toxins. And so they change and kill and morph into different forms to do different jobs within the body or tissues or an environment. And if we take it from that standpoint, I think we understand that we need to clean the environment up to then help get in control the things.
Now we can use some herbs to help clear that stuff and knock it down, but it’s just going to come right back, which is what happened in my case. I just kept cycling and knocking it down with stuff in like it could be a problem that crashed. Knock it down then crash. And you know what I learned is you got to bring mitochondria energy and immune function up, bounce that immune system up to keep them at bay to where you don’t keep cycling. Once I cleared parasites, I stopped cycling with all my symptoms Babesia and Lyme.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
So this is something that we teach. Of course, you’re one of my mentors. I’ve learned many of these concepts from you and Jay and other, you know, other doctors in the bio-regulatory medicine space, people who study train theory. And so we teach this all the time in our programs that, hey, if you’ve got Candida, if you’ve got H. Pylori if you’ve got certain levels of bacteria, we really need to go searching for toxins. We’re going to do some gut work and get you feeling better. But your ultimate goal is to do the toxin evaluation and toxin work because that’s what’s underneath this. That’s what’s allowing an environment for these things to thrive in you because your immune system is actually saying, Hey, you irritating H. Pylori, or fungus, come over here and solve this toxin problem because that’s a bigger problem for my brain, and my heart and my organs that you are. I think that’s a really big concept for people to understand because, you know, functional medicine here in the United States is kind of in its infancy compared to functional medicine in other parts of the world. And we put people on these, you know, Candida killing protocols to, you know, go on a low sugar diet, take some herbs and we’ll get rid of the Candida. But nobody’s addressing the radioactive elements that it’s feeding on that’s underneath it working.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
The other protein function medicine is here’s more vitamins, here’s more vitamin D is B vitamins. Here’s off low bulk acid, here’s all these cofactors. And you’re not clearing out. You’re not taking care of the foundation, what we call foundational medicine. And so for, you know, Dr. Jane and I talk about this, you’ve got to clean it, clean up. So if you’re going to bring house, you don’t want to bring more two-by-fours in and just start to build back in and remodel stuff. You’ve got to put the fire out. So let’s get the fire out before you start adding more two-by-fours in that house and it’s the same thing within our body. So it’s not the lack of nutrition toxicity that angle we look at. Toxicities, create deficiencies and we come from that standpoint, you don’t need to be on 20 different vitamins or you need to look at is the foundational issues, which is cleaning out these root causes.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Absolutely. And, you know, we won’t even run organic acids on people until they’ve gone through months of gut work and toxin detox work. And then we’ll run organic assets to see there’re some nutrients that, you know, is going to that we need to replace here that your body is having a higher need for. But it’s going to change so rapidly as you start detoxing your need for nutrients. So in the beginning of my practice, I used to run organic acids on everyone and then I learned with a stop, that it’s kind of pointless to do this right in the beginning. There’s more work to be done. Yeah. So you mentioned earlier about Bartonella Babesia being co-infections that go hand-in-hand with Lyme. Can you talk more about that and explain why you see these co-infections what’s happening there and why they occur together in the body?
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
That’s interesting. There are several more. I mean, you got mycoplasma in the early years but most commonly I see the Babesia and Bartonella. But this is a protozoan similar to malaria. So red blood cell parasite and then Bartonella is a bacteria and what am I focused on like, okay, hey, what are they doing? And you know, when I had the Babesia, I had a lot of sort of occipital tightness, like string tightness and hyper tenacity throughout my upper neck. So the exhibit area, a lot of sacral pain, heavy legs, my legs fatigued really quick. And then the Bartonella created a lot of it like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and knee pain. I used to have burning feet. I mean, my feet would just burn off, but shoes on and stuff and that was more of an easier symptom. So it’s all the byproduct they put out, all the ammonia they put out, same with Lyme. That causes a lot of the symptomatology. And as you bind that ammonia up and you clean everything up and you clean the environment up, you get rid of that stuff, it makes a huge difference on stuff. So when I’m looking at the stuff below the knees, especially in chronic issues, you have to consider that Bartonella could be a pain or Babesia could create some problems there too.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
So you have to go after bacteria and parasites and use binders, is what I’m hearing you say, to clear out the ammonia.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Exactly. And when you do that, also, you’re going to help, you know, just clear out the causative factors of why they’re there maybe in the first place or if there are opportunistic infections, you want to say, hey, why isn’t immune system resolving this? You can get some really good herbs for those. And then you can also help upregulate the immune function and mitochondrial function.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Okay. So, you know, we have a couple of minutes here in the first part of our interview and so I’d like for you in this first part to give people a message of hope. I mean, we’ve talked about, you know, a lot like people may be overwhelmed, like, oh, my gosh, it’s not just my Lyme. I’ve got to solve toxins. I’ve got to go after parasites. I’ve got to look for these other bacteria. And then there’s viruses and I got to get my immune system back on board. So a quick message of hope before we transition into the next part of our interview.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Yes. So I’m 55 and I have more energy and feel amazing compared to what I have had the last 20 years. So I went through my forties, which is severe fatigue and a lot of different health issues. And going through it and figuring myself out as well as my patients out allowed me to then create the products I made today. And so the hope is that you can get to why you’re dealing with these problems is foundational root cause issues that you need to clear out. And now I’m living my best life. You see me how much energy I have and I’m going all weekend and stuff. So it really is. There’s a lot of hope. I don’t feel like I have any issues with them now and it’s great. I mean, I’m living my best life now, and you can, too.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah, I know. And it’s incredible how back then when you were going through it and it was probably horrible that you didn’t see the beautiful thing that was going to come out of it, which was now, you know, how to solve it. And then you created a whole entire company that sells, you know, products that help solve this for people. So it’s beautiful. You had to go through it to get where you are today to be that huge contribution to the world. So thank you so much for being here. To our audience, I hope you found our conversation with Dr. Watts insightful and helpful. If you’re a summit purchaser, stay right here, because I’m going to dive even deeper into this discussion with Dr. Watts. I want to unpack, you know, an order of operations for getting better, some strategies for healing. If you’re not a summit purchaser, click on the button on this page to get access to a continuation of this conversation and many others, and get the tools you need to reclaim your health.
If you’re watching this continuation of my talk with Dr. Watts, I want to thank you for being a valuable member of our community, and we’re going to dive right back in. So I would like to know, you know, we talked about where we get Lyme disease and you’ve mentioned many of the symptoms that occur when you have this. We’ve talked about how just going after Lyme disease in itself is not the answer. There’s more we need to do. We talked about the fact that you created a whole company in a line of supplements. We’re talking about cell core here. This is a company that’s changed my family’s life, my life, my business, my clients, everything because it works so well. So I’d like to unpack some of the order of operations for healing, and I’d really like this to be helpful to people who are looking for practitioners to work with them. What are the things that they need to be asking their practitioners? What do they need to be looking for and what are red flags where you are kind of run away and say, oh, this person isn’t going to solve my problems? So let’s talk about the order of operations. How do we solve this?
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
When it goes back to and they just want to give you a bunch of vitamins and a ton of ideas. It’s not going to solve your problem. You got to get to the root cause. The other thing is that they just want to treat you for Lyme disease. It’s never that simple. It’s not just Lyme. So to be able to overcome Lyme disease, you have to consider all these other factors that may be a problematic issue, which is where we put together the protocols, the comprehensive protocol, and the foundational protocol to dress the body in the right way. If there’s mold, mold suppresses mitochondrial function in immune function, we’re to be sure that we’re clearing or we get your environment clean and you’re not getting exposed to it. And then we’re also cleaning out all those toxins out of the body. If there are parasitic infections, we’re going to have to address that to balance the immune system, which is super important to clear line a long-term maintenance cycle through all this stuff and get rid of the rest of your symptoms.
And then there’s also all those environmental chemicals and toxins which spur a lot of these problems within the body. Why it’s so important to not only address infections but the chemicals to go along with it. Otherwise, the mitochondria will be disrupted and the infections will just continue to persist. So like you ask, what’s the order? So the order that we start with through working with thousands of people, Dr. J and I, including myself personally and his wife, who almost died twice from Lyme disease is the first phase we go into is supporting mitochondrial function, energy production, and which would also affect the immune system. The other part is as we open up the drainage. So if you start to detox and deal and kill stuff off, people tend to have a lot of hurt. Some are reactions. They don’t feel like they get headaches, they get rashes, they get more pain, they get bloating. The goal is to minimize that, to allow the body to do its natural detoxification processes, meaning supporting that, making sure they’re going to the bathroom, making sure about power flows, moving through, make sure you get lymphatic movement because the organs and tissues in the cells only can drain as well as your body can clear stuff out. So the process in phase one is to get that really going and support that. Phase two is where we go into the gut support. Lots of happens in the gut and so we want to work for cleaning up the digestive system and that’s where a lot of parasitic infections can be. And a big impact to the whole process is going to be cleaning that up.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Real quick question for you going to the third phase, I want a clarification because I get this question a lot. So people have heard you shouldn’t kill parasites until you get rid of toxins because they’re feeding on toxins. And actually, you got to do some parasite killing first and then get into toxins. So can you explain that? Because I think, you know, a lot of people are trying to DIY their health and Google like how do I do this? And you do actually need to do some parasite-killing first. So, tell us about that.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
The great thing that phase one is you’re taking a biotoxin binder so you’re already binding toxins. You’re supporting drainage and detoxification from the first way. So you’re already going through that process when you’re going to parasitic infections. But the thing with parasites is that if you clear the parasites out, you’re going to be opening up a lot of pathways to continue moving through the toxicity. So sometimes they’re blocking their ability to detoxify because they’re in those pathways, whether it’s in bile ducts, whether it’s in the digestive system, small intestine, large intestine, whether they’re in our lymphatic system, it can be in multiple organs. So, with that process, you have to address it early because it creates an imbalance in the immune system.
And then you have blinders through the whole process of clearing parasites. So the whole process that we set up, the protocols are to support these toxins and clear them out. They do feed on them. They do hold a lot more toxins for body weight than we do. And that’s great. That’s why it’s so important when you are clearing parasites that you are detoxifying at the same time and not just detoxing or just clearing parasites there. There could be some issues there which they were buffering some of the chemicals. We’re already taking all that into consideration in the protocol and you’re already moving through the protocol detoxifying then clearing parasites and then going deeper in phase three.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Okay, great. So just to recap where we’ve been so, so far, we’ve talked about phase one, mitochondria, energy support, opening the drainage pathways phase to start working on the gut and clears some stuff out of the gut, start moving parasites. Okay, you were about to say phase three when I interrupted you.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Yes. And then we’re also supporting more bile flow, bile production in that. And then phase three, we’re going deeper with some of the formulas to go, whether the pair of three, for example, will help in absorption and deficiencies as tincture that can be more systemic versus more digestive system. And then phase four, we go deeper into detoxification, and phase five is where we really hit into the products that will deal with, you know, the Borrelia, the Bartonella, Babesia, those sort of deeper infections. So if people have them in my clinic, if they have like massive symptoms of some of those Lyme, babesia, bartonella stuff, then I’ll slow dose that at the beginning. So I’ll take some of the phase five products at lower doses. I don’t high doses because then they’re going to react and it is going to be complicated. But I’ll put that into low dosing and help through that process if I need to.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Okay. So very fascinating that the last step in the process is Lyme co-infection for most people where many people think that they need to go straight after that. So I think people’s minds are being blown if they’re watching this right now.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
When the good thing about the parasite products is comparés, they’re also supportive of dealing with those infections, too, right? Maybe not as strong or as potent, but they’re great introduction and they have antimicrobial effects. So just it’s an easier way, an easier process to experience that. Whereas sometimes if you go hardcore at the beginning then people have massive headaches, massive responses to things, herbs that are geared towards line and stuff. So there’s a process that we’ve found. We’ve had a really good aggressive results with by doing it in this process. Now, as a doctor and a clinician, we always invite you to understand your patient, understand your client, and help them through that process. If you see that they need to adjust something and you’re going to do it, you’ve got that clinical experience to help them. We give the baseline for them from Cell Core.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
So like I’ve said, we’ve brought Cell Core into my virtual clinic, my family and myself, and everyone around me. And we’ve seen people have breakthroughs where they’ve never been able to break through before. And then we can go into lots of stories about that. But I know I want to unpack a little bit more about some other aspects that our viewers may have heard are important to address. Can you talk about biofilms and exactly what this is and how we address it and why it’s important and why it’s important to Lyme’s perspective as well?
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Yeah. So biofilms, what I’ve seen the biggest chunk of biofilms can be in the system. Right, that would make sense. So that’s where Para 1+ helps to break that up and clear it out. We also have CT-Zyme, which is a great systemic formulation there that has proteases and also a variety of other types of enzymes that help break and clean that biofilm up. It’s produced by the bacteria to build a protection area around it. So that your immune system can get to it, that’s the whole key. And if we can break that barrier down and clean, just clean the environment up, then it’s a lot easier for me to come in and resolve it. You know, our protocol is we haven’t had the issues of overcoming that problem. So, you know, it seems to really resolve on its own. Yeah. That with the products that we had.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah, it does. Now we’ve talked a lot about the kind of order of operations and some of the things that we use to support removing parasites and bacteria. And can you talk to us about lifestyle things? And, you know, we don’t want to leave that out of this conversation of how to resolve chronic Lyme. And I mean, if all you do is take a bunch of supplements without changing some things about how you’re living, then you’re probably not going to get great results either.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
Now you got you got to change your lifestyle. I mean, ultimately, I would hope that people are already I mean, by the time they get to my clinic. They’ve already had perfect diets. They’ve changed. They’ve done all kinds of different diets, their non-toxic environments and they’ve done a lot of things to help them through that process. Right. So I don’t I just take them through four different changes in them, how they can change their diet or I’ll take them through different ways. We can help move the system along within the body to spur hormones and spur immune function for energy. But if you’re new to this, then it’s one of those things where you’re going to want to be sure that you’re big. You know, you’re getting cleaned, nutritious environment happening.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Now and then, stress reduction and getting your sleep and all the things like we can’t say that enough. I know I’ve spent a lot of time talking to Dr. Watts about, you know, some of these methods of solving this that have to do with, you know, some pretty heavy supplement regimens to move toxins out of the body, to move parasites out of the body. Your immune system needs assistance with that. And, you know, I always say that you can’t eat your way out of this, meaning food is medicine. But when you have this level of toxins and infections, you’re going to need more than, you know, eating a whole bunch of cilantro, detoxifying foods, and liver-supporting food. You need a little help.
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
You do need a little help. I mean, those things can be beneficial, but it’s not going to get to the level that you need. It was at that point. It’s you’re beyond food as your medicine. Yes, the only thing herbs and Achillea millefolium mix are going to take it to a much deeper level and more effective for what people need.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Well, I still have a few minutes of your time, and I really want to open the floor to know what you know. We’re going to bring Jay in here, your partner and co-founder of Cell Core. He’s going to talk about radioactivity. I know that that’s a huge passion for him. So if Dr. Todd Watts could have the floor and talk about a passion right now or past, is something that you want our audience to hear and know about. And I know you have several passions. What would you fill this, you know, last 10 minutes or so of space with? What do you want our audience to hear?
Todd Watts, DC, PSCD
But I think it goes back to when it comes down to somebody’s health, you’re not one problem. It’s just not somebody wants to put you in the mold box in multiple of your problems. Somebody wants to put you in a line box or somebody says that everything’s heavy metals. You’re wrong, they’re wrong on that. It’s going to be the fact that it could be all of the above. You have to have an open-minded practitioner or be open-minded yourself to understand that it’s a multitude of things. It wasn’t one straw that broke the camel’s back. It was multiple straws, right? That you know, that they did that. So you have to also look at your emotional and energetic health, because that’s a big component to people getting better, meaning how well do they process things?
Do they have negative emotions or are they in a negative environment that creates emotions that are harmful to the body? Emotions can be catabolic breaking down the body or they can be anabolic or build them. You are moving you forward the energy around you. So what’s your environment like? I’ve had people have worked with in the McMahon for six months and nothing’s changed run their labs labs look so much better the you know so many so many shifts like antibodies are all gone for thyroid stuff. But yeah, they said nothing’s changed. I’m like, okay, what’s going on? It’s just stress in your life. What’s that stress? And we talk about it. Oh, it’s work. I, you know, it does work and blah, blah, blah and work. Work. And the people I work with are horrible and like, okay or I mean, are super toxic relationships. And it’s like, you’re not going to get better if you’re in a super toxic relationship, whether it’s in, you know, the significant other, whether is work or environment, whatever environment, whether it’s a friend, whatever it is, you have to have healthy relationships and you can’t have that energetic parasite sucking the life out of you. So I guess if there’s one thing that you have to really look at is your emotional and mental health and spiritual health. Where are you on that ladder of mental, emotional, and spiritual health? And how can you improve that? And having phenomenal vibrations up-regulating the way you think, the way you act, and what you do can make all the change be the change that you want to be, that you want to be the change that you want. So that’s what I live my life is to try and be that change, bring products to the market that actually work. I want to help people overcome what I struggle with as well for a ten-year period of time. And, you know, it’s one of those things that we’re here to thrive, not to survive. I was surviving for a long time, and that’s not what life’s about. Life’s about thriving and making a difference in this world and being an impact on what you’re doing. And that’s what you know, Jane, I have a big belief in that. Our goal is to make that big impact and be more changes. And that’s what we’re doing through self-care.

I know how much you love people. You’re literally the heart of the cell core. You’re like the big, gentle genius teddy bear, like, loving interruption for people. I’ve experienced it myself, and I’m so glad that you went there when I asked that question because you do care so deeply about humanity and people. And I’ve seen you do it in a room full of hundreds and hundreds of people. I’ve seen you shine that love on people and help them. And, you know, we’ve all had people in our practices who did all the things we told them to do, but for some reason, they didn’t get that result that they were looking for. And you’re scratching your head because, you know, you’ve tested them. You’ve muscle tested them, you’ve done lab tests on them. They say they’re taking the protocols. You see, they are because the measurable markers are getting better. But there’s still stuck. And those are the people I remember in my practice the most. They were the ones who wouldn’t do the emotional, spiritual work. They didn’t want to do that piece for whatever reason. It’s hard, it’s uncomfortable. I don’t know how to do it. And I think a huge mixed message here, probably one of the most important messages of everything we’ve said today is your body is not separate from that piece. You’re healing is not separate from that piece. You must solve the emotional, stressful, and traumatic piece.

You must know. So there are two words I would throw out there is, to love and forgiveness, forgiving others, and forgiving yourself. You’ve got to let go of the past and move forward in the future, depending on where you’re at with the higher power. If you believe you’re Christian, you believe in God. The Savior has grace and love. He wants you to move forward in His love, not wallow in misery, and be part of that is letting go of the past and letting you know, forgiving yourself, forgiving others, and just having love and that love and light fill your heart and feel who you are and your being not. So healing within itself.

This belief that right there that is a perfect ending to this. Thank you. Thank you so much, Dr. Watts, for sharing your wisdom with our audience, for the work that you’ve done in the world, and for your creation of so many products that have helped so many people. If our audience wants to get hold of you, I don’t know that you see many patients anymore. You’re semi-retired? Are you still seeing people in practice? Where can we be like?

Well, I’m in the clinic for at least a month, but I have to if I’m not available. But there are other doctors. Dr. Randy is the biggest heart doctor. Dr. Nick and Carol. We have a great staff and they do such a great job in helping people through this full process and working through all these things we talked about today, whether it’s from the emotional standpoint, a spiritual standpoint, or whether it’s from, you know, whatever the root cause is, they’re just amazing people.

I’m there usually once a month, but I go and see them more often than that. And then I do have some cases where I’ll, you know, pop in there and see these people. But I do a lot of work for Cell Core right now. I’ve been traveling like seven out of the last eight weeks, lecturing and teaching doctors, and being there. So there are times that I’m pretty busy with that. And then it’s formulating and working on a lot of new products. They’re going to be amazing coming out.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
I cannot wait. I’m on pins and needles waiting to hear. Well, thank you so much. Thank you for being a part of this. Until next time, everyone. Take good care. Bye, now.
