Full Transcript Introduction to the podcast and Body Burden 0:00 If you have a condition, it can give you hope that, well, if I lower my body burden, the condition might get better or resolved itself. 0:08 All chronic conditions have one component of it that is causal through the environment. 0:13 That's not even the radical thing to say. 0:16 At least, you know, If You Have Lead Exposure, It Can Impact Your Pancreas. 0:20 It can impact blood sugar. 0:24 Welcome to the Deeper Healing Podcast. 0:27 I'm your host, Danielle Howley. 0:28 This is for everyone who's been dismissed, misdiagnosed or told to just live with it and refuse to accept that answer. 0:35 You're going to hear amazing patient recovery stories, raw and real in their own words. 0:41 People who found answers after everything had failed them. 0:44 you're gonna hear from medical experts we trust that are pioneering new approaches to healing the body because we deeply know we're designed to heal. 0:52 Let's dig in. 0:59 Welcome, everybody. 1:00 I am super excited to have Nick Penalt here today, coming in from Canada. 1:05 If you're not familiar with him, he is an amazing investigative journalist. 1:10 And before that, He was an EMF expert. 1:13 He has spent a long time in his career, really educating families about the effects of the EMS. 1:20 I'll let you speak to how you're broadening your scope, but he is the producer of the movie Body Burden, The Toxins We Carry. 1:29 I just want to say out loud, you are creating a mission, an actual mission for people to understand what the heck is going on in the world. 1:41 What I love about the movie so much is it takes a regular person, and when I say regular, I mean those people that are just spending good money on toxic 1:50 junk every day. 1:50 I see them every at the food store. 1:53 And you literally take them on a journey that lets them go, oh, wait a minute. 1:57 wait a minute, and it's an amazing awakening. 2:00 That is an, it is amazing. 2:01 Awaken. 2:02 Everybody should see this film. 2:04 And so it available. 2:05 It's available for free. 2:06 You can see it anytime you sign up, you get it. 2:09 you can stream it, You watch it it great. 2:11 Okay. 2:12 So that just kind of lays the land for anyone who doesn't know about it and we'll put all the links in the, in, the notes here. 2:18 so Nick, tell me, like, give me a little bit of how you got here, Well, you know, I started 16 years ago writing about health. 2:27 At the beginning, it was really just an interest because I wanted to do bodybuilding. 2:31 That's like my 2009 Nick that I was 120 pounds, very thin. 2:38 I'm like, okay, I want to put out muscle mass. 2:41 I started following people online about food, nutrition. 2:44 But very rapidly, through watching a couple of documentaries, one of them is Food Matters or Food Inc.
Nicku2019s path from nutrition to environmental toxins 2:50 They talked about, you know, pesticides and the contamination of our food supply. 2:55 And I was very alarmed, as someone with a background in communications. 2:59 So I kind of was on that path to journalism. 3:02 Although I never ended up going to a journalism school, copywriting professionally for TV. 3:09 But at the same time, I knew that, you know, writing for a TV, barely watched TV even at that time. 3:14 So I know it wasn't my calling. 3:16 On the side I was starting a blog and, uh, connecting with people online about nutrition, but really my interest was environmental toxins. 3:25 I felt like, okay, a lot of people talk about, carbohydrates and the importance of, reducing your calorie if you want to lose weight, 3:33 But I'm like wait a minute guys, there's a hormonal effect of certain substances that leach out of plastic containers called BPA, 3:43 and it's replaced with BPS that is something even more toxic. 3:47 You guys don't get it. 3:48 And I was in that conversation in like 2010. No one really understood it except a small, you know, a couple thousand people that were following my work 3:57 at the time. 3:58 It kind of led me into talking about nutrition and many other topics, but I the contamination in tap water, following, you know, 4:08 sometimes articles from the EWG, but sometimes following some of the health pioneers, Dr. 4:13 Joseph Mercola, for example, and then discovering Children's Health Defense very, very early in my career. 4:19 And then starting to read these other voices that we're talking about how things are completely messed up. 4:26 We are getting poisoned from, the tap, water to the air to, to plastics to our clothing, that's plastic. 4:33 And I was like, oh my God, this is very overwhelming. 4:36 And started talking about it to try to distill it down in a way that is digestible on my newsletter. 4:41 Eventually, it led me into EMFs, which is a whole other can of worms. 4:47 I started in 2016 looking into electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell phones and Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell towers. 4:57 It dug in that rabbit hole, the reading one book after a deed. 5:01 I did not know I would spend 10 years and counting on this almost exclusively. 5:07 And yet here I am, you know, 10 Years later, have been talking about EMS, having, on hundreds of interviews on stages, I was invited everywhere. 5:17 Part of me was, you know, for many years I felt like an imposter because I'm like, I was early 30s or even late 20s, no former experience in EMFs. 5:28 No former experienced in journalism. 5:30 You know some people call me a blogger and I am like... 5:33 What am I? 5:33 I don't know. 5:34 I just want to talk about EMFs. 5:36 Guys, this matters so much and I was screaming from the rooftops and then people started inviting me like, hey, what have you discovered? 5:43 And I'm like well, I've discovered that this is severely underfunded, that we should use precaution, You know, there is a synergy between EMFs and the 5:55 cell phones and Bluetooth in your home and all other environmental toxins. 6:01 And it kind of led me into 2023, I got in touch with Dr. 6:06 McCarter, who used to be at Deeper Healing, is now in Dallas, practicing in I am seeing a lot of these people that follow you are what we can say, 6:17 you know, suffering from the EMR syndrome used to be called electro hypersensitivity. 6:21 And these many people do not understand what it's like because they had minor symptoms related to EMS, but some people have symptoms so major they cannot 6:33 even live in a city. 6:33 I mean, some People can feel this sort of oppressive feeling or have weird heartbeats or start feeling this stress response even with just one single phone 6:44 in a room. 6:45 This is how bad it is for some of these people. 6:48 And some people wrote to me in the last 10 years and they said, Nick, I'm getting worse. 6:53 I don't know what to do. 6:54 Well, look, as a citizen journalist, i'm going to send you to doctors, but I know which one understand it. 7:00 Some people in functional medicine understood EMS a little bit. 7:04 But then I found that people like Dr. 7:06 Neil Nathan and, you know, Lynn Patrick talked about EMS and she was from environmental medicine. 7:12 And then Dr Stephanie McCarter also was also from Environmental Medicine. 7:16 I said, what is this Environmental medicine? 7:19 I didn't hear a lot about it and then Dr. 7:22 McCarter said, look, I am at the Deeper Healing Medical Center. 7:25 Come and see what we're doing. 7:27 It is different and we are seeing people with environmental poisoning. 7:31 We're getting them better, which is a rare thing to hear from. 7:35 my perspective of journalists, because most people have this narrative when they are environmentally injured, they're essentially doomed, 7:44 right? 7:44 The environment made me sick, like I had more toxicity and now my health will never recover. 7:50 And I discovered through, you know, the different stories I heard like that. 7:55 And then other stories who told me, no, I was able to recover and I used XYZ or this other thing, or I saw a thousand different doctors and kind of had 8:06 my own journey, but I wasn't able come back to a relatively good level of health. 8:10 So I said, okay, well, one thing is for sure. 8:14 If you are environmentally injured or you have any chronic issue, maybe you haven't found the path to recovery. 8:22 But so far, I don't believe in, okay, you're doomed to something. 8:32 I saw people with stage four cancer tell me, no, I was able to heal. 8:36 So I said, okay, well, at a minimum, we could say, maybe you don't have a lot of chance if you have stage 4 cancer, but there is one chance.
EMFs, environmental medicine, and patient recovery 8:44 And it's not guaranteed, it is not that, this magic pill will heal you, But we have to keep the hope. 8:51 I want to add to that. 8:55 And I'm seeing this a lot where people are coming in with their genetic testing. 9:00 I feel like it's the shiny object right now is like, I want to get my genetics tested. 9:04 So they're looking for like these snaps or these predispositions to disease and And literally they're like, oh my God, I'm going to get cancer. 9:15 Oh my god, i'm gonna get Alzheimer's. 9:17 I can't do talk, whatever the thing is. 9:19 You see people doing dramatic, proactive, preventative things on a genetic test. 9:27 And this is what they are saying is genetics is the gun but environment is pulling the trigger. 9:32 The good news is if it is environment, There's a ton that can be done. 9:38 You are not destined for any of these diseases. 9:42 That is the hopeful conversation. 9:48 It's like, what's your body burden? 9:50 I've seen a lot of this too. 9:54 My kid just got diagnosed with diabetes. 9:56 They're telling me it's genetic, but we don't have any diabetes on either side of our family. 10:01 How is it genetic? 10:02 I've heard that like literally a hundred times last year. 10:05 And then why are all these kids getting diabetes all of a sudden? 10:12 Are we genetically defective all of a sudden? 10:15 No, that's not it. 10:18 So there's a much bigger, bigger picture, a bigger onion to unpeel back. 10:23 And that what I love about people who are seeing this film is it takes you on a journey. 10:28 I feel like the EMF people are so far down the tunnel. 10:33 that I always say, if you're failing the electromagnetic stuff, because that's a much smaller percentage, or that are cognizant of it, 10:41 that they recognize that it's happening, I should say. 10:43 I think it is affecting everybody, but usually their bucket is really high, their body burden is very high. 10:49 They have a lot of other stuff going on and I really think that is what you really unveiled in this conversation and even your own self-discovery. 10:58 It was kind of, it was my hope to, you know, why I decided to go first? 11:04 It wasn't interesting preposition like, okay, let me go there. 11:08 And then we started thinking about a documentary. 11:11 I'm like. 11:12 Well, what if I discover like one of the places in the world where they can get people with electro hypersensitivity better. 11:19 Isn't that something like everyone keeps telling me on my newsletter that it's impossible. 11:24 At a minimum, it's not like they have found a magic bullet, but they haven't approach, right? 11:29 This approach of environmental medicine, I know that they're getting right because I knew Dr. 11:33 McCarter and then I met Dr B and clearly the physicians there, when I entered the place, these guys know everything is done the right way. 11:44 So at a minimal, It's a good example of how to get things right. 11:47 And I note that even among environmental medicines, there's always practitioners that try to push the envelope. 11:53 Some of them are, you know, I've been told Switzerland, Germany. 11:56 I know Deeper Healing is one of these places, too, because Dr. 11:59 McCarter and then Dr B told me, well, we have practitioners from functional medicine or from environmental medicine that go see what we do. 12:07 And that's the thing with environmental medicines. 12:09 It's like it's one these things when I started to look into it and look in to what Dr Ray did, what Doctor Crinian brought. 12:16 and it is something that has been developing, but not nearly enough because the environment You know, it is developing at a snail space, 12:24 but the environment is becoming poisonous and more poison at at rapid pace. 12:29 So it's something where a lot of it, is cutting edge, new modalities that they are trying and they see the clinical proof and the move forward. 12:39 It was super interesting for me to just look at, okay, what is kind of the cutting-edge of environmental medicine? 12:45 But you know this entire project was not supposed to be about anything about me, to to honest. 12:51 So what happened is, you know, in the documentary, we see my results like a year before, a, year after I film. 12:58 Wait, wait, before you go down there, because I want to make sure we cover this in this podcast. 13:04 This project wasn't even supposed to be a movie. 13:07 It was originally supposed to be a little reveal at an EMF summit. 13:12 It's supposed be short. 13:13 Hey, Nick comes in, you follow what he does. 13:17 He does a big reveal. 13:18 And then all of a sudden, it really was over the course of the year organically. 13:24 So you did that. 13:25 You came in and you had your testing and your detoxification. 13:30 because I almost forgot I had to think about it like oh yeah yeah this thing became so much bigger then when you were here you started talking to patients 13:38 and it's like, oh, yeah, I was in a wheelchair before yeah I would you know really really like the worst cases and then they're recovered and you're like 13:48 wait I want to interview them wait a minute I wanna know what happened that that story is really interesting to me So all of a sudden now it's your story, 13:56 but then it like that woman's story with her daughter and that person's, story and Mac guy's and everyone's stories, their diagnosis is there. 14:06 Everything was very, very different symptomatically and, and manifestation wise, all recovering. 14:13 So let's capture these stories and go, okay. 14:16 And, the other, like the link that, that finds them all together is they were all told nothing could be done. 14:21 Nothing can be. 14:23 and you're stuck with this and whatever things they were doing, and they're pretty much hopeless. 14:29 And here, now they are on the other side of it. 14:31 So you are like, no, I think this is maybe a short movie where I combine this together and then all of a sudden as one interview, 14:39 another interview. 14:41 All of a sudden, this turns into Bill Ray, Walter Crinion, environmental godfathers, legacy movie, taking the audience on a journey and then showing the 14:53 authentic proof that it's working. 14:55 Recovery is possible. 14:57 It's not. 14:59 A hundred percent. 15:00 And it's not even that. 15:02 I have to shout out, you know, Mike Schatz that with Horizon that did an incredible job. 15:07 Obviously it was the filmmaker behind this. 15:10 Still doing edits today. 15:12 We're still texting back and forth because still preparing the movie. 15:16 But I feel like not only it says. 15:19 Part of his vision when he saw the material and started working and then we, you know, all together it was kind of a collective project, 15:27 starting to intertwine the storyline where I go to the clinic, which is I think a cool thing to see, but there's not really the human aspect. 15:36 All of the sudden, when I saw interviews, many of them I cried listening to them and I'm like, I mean, for me, it's Brendan. 15:43 I think it is probably because I just see myself in like 10 years, you know, a little bit more gray. 15:50 The guy couldn't remember his friend's names. 15:55 And just that part, forgetting. 15:57 about things that are important to you. 15:59 It just gets to me. 16:00 I'm like, Oh my God, imagine if it happened that soon in like my late fees. 16:06 All of a sudden, I can't even remember my old buddies from primary school and that I see every year. 16:15 He was losing everything. 16:18 He touched me. 16:19 But what I wanted to say is that in the end, when I film the documentary and then did follow-up testing and got my testing results, 16:30 this is when i got the testing result. 16:32 probably a week or two after filming, I was back home in Montreal and I saw the PDFs and we had a call with Dr. 16:39 McCarter and i was like, wait a minute. 16:42 Are you telling me I have like these lead levels? 16:45 And I did have brain fog. 16:47 I didn't have acne that has now pretty much resolved at this point that can flare back sometimes. 16:53 But I had brainfog, you know, just very poor ability to concentrate at a computer. 16:58 And it was getting worse. 16:59 So in the end, you know, it was a little bit for me and I'm like, well, I don't have a condition. 17:04 I am not diagnosed with anything. 17:07 In fact, they did some testing, some basic testing. 17:10 And, my hair mineral analysis was very good. 17:14 So I had been eating mostly organic for what, 15 years? 17:20 I mean, that was really early to all these precautionary measures from environmental medicine, but even then I find the lead super elevated and the mercury 17:31 fairly elevated than mycotoxins. 17:33 And it made me realize, geez, it's going to turn into something else. 17:36 So in the end, because the editing process took a long time, I was able to film what is my, you know, my own conclusion a year after, 17:45 and I'm just in a much better place mentally. 17:49 Very powerful. 17:50 And that's the thing that powerful. 17:51 Look, if you have a condition, it can give you hope that, well, If I lower my body burden, the condition might get better or resolved itself. 18:00 All chronic conditions have one component of it that is causal through the environment. 18:06 That's not even the radical thing to say. 18:08 At least if have lead exposure, It can impact your pancreas, blood sugar, it can impact Alzheimer's. 18:16 Like we know all these things, but the science is severely lacking to make the link between all of these different environmental toxins, 18:25 how they play with each other, and then how that in turn will impact your risk of chronic disease. 18:31 But if we push the chronic diseases aside, How are you underperforming in your life? 18:37 I realized, oh my God, I was like, mildly excited about projects, going through the motions.
Nicku2019s own testing and body burden findings 18:48 I have to tell you, Danielle, it's almost funny because we talk almost every month, sometimes just to organize things and do business meetings, 18:58 but we haven't updated each other about me personally. 19:02 But at one point I had to rewatch the movie and I cried because I realized, where was I? 19:09 Where I was, yep. 19:11 That's, it's powerful. 19:12 It's only after the fact. 19:14 Once you, once your brain fog lifts, you have to deal with the facts that like, why was I behaving a certain way? 19:21 Like feeling depressed, not really, Not answering people for weeks because I felt overwhelmed and maybe not being as present with my wife as I wanted to 19:32 be and being, mildly happy at a maximum and mild, unhappy most of the time. 19:38 And I'm like what's wrong with me, right? 19:41 Like just because if your brain is not online, and me as an entrepreneur, I have to deal with my business growth with, my personal organizations. 19:51 Like no one looks after me. 19:53 No one pays me a salary. 19:55 So I had a stressful life and I'd have be on to be able to grow each aspect. 19:59 And I wasn't really doing a good job at it all. 20:03 I was feeling quite overwhelmed even through the video shoot and everything. 20:08 It's just I was dealing with so many things and in this sort of anxious energy. 20:13 And now I'm just in a much better place where to be fair, I am not necessarily calmer. 20:18 I feel like I m getting overexcited about, you know, research. 20:21 That's like the passion. 20:23 but I'm able to just show up more in every single aspect of my life. 20:28 And that is not, you know, curing a disease per se or anything like that, but it's precious. 20:33 It's something that I think everyone listening to this probably want for themselves. 20:37 Yes. 20:38 Do you how many guys, and in fact, I just did two, just dropped two podcasts that are, one guy's name is Stark and one guys name was Chip and they both 20:46 talk about this for men. 20:47 They're both like, I have a business, I'm a high performer, i have wife,i have kids,I have all this stuff and their pressure and they were like I didn't 20:55 realize how bad I was until i was better because you get there slowly, right? 21:01 The decline is almost imperceptible. 21:04 It's like a moodier, a little more tired and then you have people like oh you're getting older, oh, you are getting in your 30s,oh you getting your 40s 21:12 and all of a sudden you like this is me now. 21:14 You almost look back at an old picture and be like, oh yeah, it used to be so much more whatever, energetic. 21:19 But when you come out on the other side of it, you really feel it because you're doing it somewhat quickly where the decline is very long and floggy. 21:27 You know, and like both of the guys said this separately, they're like, I wish I didn't wait so long. 21:33 I wished I hadn't waited till I was broken. 21:35 Like that was the gift that you got. 21:37 You weren't, you were on a slow decline, but you weren' broken, You caught it and you're were like okay, yeah. 21:44 And now you are like whoa, whoa I don't even realize how bad I am. 21:47 This, when I talk to regular people, They're all sluggish. 21:52 Why is everyone, I say they're propping their eyes up with Adderall and coffee, like literally. 21:58 And you know, we're not meant to lose our, Like I've had people like, it's between the bun with cheese. 22:04 I'm like a hamburger. 22:05 They were like yeah, want a hamburgers. 22:07 We can't think of the word. 22:09 Like you said, you can think about your friends and you're like you, know your brain's not working, but you are like what's going on with me? 22:16 You know? 22:17 It's just not normal. 22:18 It is not. 22:19 And it can be very, very different. 22:22 And the movie's amazing at showing that. 22:25 Yeah. 22:26 What I realized is the more brain capacity you unlock, if you can remove some of this toxic sludge. 22:34 To be fair, my latest test, a year and a half later, when it comes to lead, it is primarily stored in bones. 22:42 Now I have more mental capacity to look at, wait a minute, I had this lead in my body, what could it impact? 22:48 blood sugar regulation, which is a problem for me. 22:51 I have, you know, pancreas, inflammatory markers are high and I was like, what is that? 22:57 And, part of it is mold also that can also have a link with the pancrea. 23:02 So anyway, I'm learning about what this burden is doing to my body, but I more mental capacity to think about how I used to, 23:10 think and to solve my problems. 23:13 And that's the kind of loop that I that I realized I was in is where your mental capacity declines and then your ability to get out of this rut declives 23:24 too at the same time. 23:25 So for some people it is spiraling down and down. 23:28 And eventually you're like, well, you know, anyway, health is kind of set in stone. 23:34 I'm getting older. 23:35 You don't have clarity about the fact that, wait a minute, something is wrong here and maybe I should seek help. 23:41 But then are you finding the right help, right? 23:43 Yeah, it's finding that right. 23:45 Oh, my God. 23:47 It's tough. 23:48 And this is why everyone's on there buying their supplements from the TikTok shop, because they're watching some reel in bed while they were kind of half 23:55 out of it. 23:55 You're like, oh, that girl said it was great. 23:58 I'm going to order it for 30 bucks. 23:59 This is where people are. 24:01 They're just desperate for like But just some guidance, you know, what do I do? 24:07 You know I feel Danielle like maybe if I could have redone the movie I would have done it a little bit differently. 24:13 Some people told me, oh I wish you threw out the documentary you would've learned more things and things like that. 24:19 Maybe but at the end, I wanted to leave people with practical steps because what has been the biggest impact for me the visit that Deeper Healing was like, 24:28 three, four days of treatment, that's not enough to lower a body burden. 24:32 It has to be the work afterwards. 24:33 So for me, for example, if I could tell a single thing that made the difference is a year and a half of three saunas per week. 24:40 45 minutes, I sweat, you know, my butt off and it's a non-negotiable. 24:48 And when I didn't start right away, again, even knowing the test results, it was tough to incorporate that and every morning I go and pick up and go drive 25:01 Elliot to school and right afterwards, I have a place where I do the sauna and I wipe myself off exactly the way I've learned from environmental medicine 25:11 physicians and have been doing it. 25:12 And I feel like it's probably one of the strongest modalities I use. 25:16 I used a lot of other things, but at least that is a constant of like, okay, now atleast I'm opening this excretion pathway that before I mean, 25:25 to be fair, I told it, you know, very honest in the documentary. 25:29 I think my sauna used before was something like six times per year, and it was just completely insufficient. 25:37 How can you move the needle if you just open your detox pathways that way, like, six time per years?
Detox, consistency, and practical steps 25:43 It doesn't work. 25:44 And then I started. 25:45 learning about the recommendations of environmental medicine physicians. 25:49 And I even, you know, looked at this study where Dr. 25:52 Walter Crinion would take certain patients that are so sick. 25:55 It would have them under physician supervision, to be fair, but twice per day was the sauna routine for some of these people short term. 26:05 So he had specific ways of saying, okay, these are people are. 26:08 so overwhelmed with toxins that we have to find other excretion pathways. 26:14 Consistency is really what I learned from this entire experience. 26:19 It's consistency in what you, you know, in, what your drink, your tap water, is it filtered? 26:24 Is it not? 26:25 It is consistency and what to breathe. 26:27 Is the air full of toxins or is that cleaner? 26:31 And it's a consistency, consistency. 26:33 And what do you do? 26:34 Do you move your body? 26:35 So I've been just steadily getting better and more disciplined on these things that I know will work. 26:42 I think the lifestyle stuff can't be minimized. 26:44 And one of the things, a deeper healing mission is to help heal the sick, but to prevent everyone else from becoming so. 26:51 Two of things that I want the listeners to hear is, because these are free and they're just things you can just incorporate. 26:59 We just created the body burden assessment, which is what are my body burdens? 27:04 It's going to ask you, it's a quiz, I feel like it is 38 questions and you get a report. 27:10 for free on like, what are your issues that are, that're, and it, but just two things. 27:16 One, it helps them become aware by the questions themselves. 27:19 Like, yeah, do I run the exhaust fan for 20 to 30 minutes to an hour after I shower? 27:23 Or do even have an exhaust fans? 27:25 You know, as just one example. 27:27 And then the, um, the other thing is. 27:31 Just what you said, clean air, water, food, you know, using your money to, like people say to me all the time, is my refrigerator filter any good? 27:40 It's really hard to find what is an actual good product. 27:44 So we have the guidebook for free that just has like, how do you figure out what's in your water? 27:50 All the links are live. 27:51 If you're on a well, your test it this way. 27:53 Your municipality, this is where you get your reports. 27:56 And just knowing what you're dealing with. 27:58 And then you are like, okay, my water's crap, which great is you can get a report from any municipality. 28:03 Then you know your water is crap. 28:05 Well, then how am I going to filter it? 28:07 Okay, well, here's the cheap way and here is a whole house filter. 28:10 So like these are things, and like you said, everyone starts off overwhelmed. 28:13 You just do one thing at a time. 28:15 I'm just going get my clean up. 28:19 you know, I'm gonna do better buying organic, whatever it is. 28:22 You know you just, you start and as you, because you were already down the road, so was I. 28:28 Then I found my lead. 28:29 I have a very similar story. 28:30 Now I've been chipping away at my led. 28:32 My brain functions better and I know like, yeah, on 50, but guess what? 28:37 I am not worried about aging because I look under the hood. 28:41 Everyone deserves that. 28:43 And I say it all the time. 28:45 I saw some TikTok guy like, everyone, if you haven't checked your medals yet, it's true. 28:50 He's right. 28:51 Everyone deserves that before they're, you know, in the memory care facility in their seventies. 28:56 They deserve to know like do I have an issue? 28:59 I believe this is, I think this movie is elevating and COVID is a big gift of that. 29:05 of really knowing that you're on your own and you gotta be vigilant about what you are doing. 29:13 No one's out there protecting you. 29:14 You gotta protect your family. 29:16 And how am I gonna do that? 29:20 Clean air, clean food, and clean water. 29:22 That's the easy start. 29:24 Yeah. 29:26 And, and those resources are out there. 29:28 When I always say like, people ask me a million times about this one and that one, just like the EMF stuff. 29:34 There's a lot of marketing, there's lot a chatter, a there a lots of noise, lot confusion. 29:39 So it's best to get your advice from people who have really gone down the rabbit hole. 29:46 like you have, and kind of know, like, okay, at least if I'm going to spend money on something, I know that it's going work. 29:52 And this is the world we're in. 29:55 What I think is funny is I still talk to people who are like are they really toxins? 29:59 I mean, really? 30:00 Like, oh dear mother of God. 30:04 That's true. 30:05 And you know, what I've been doing in the last, I must say, two months is organizing my research database. 30:13 A lot of it's using AI because I have too many documents. 30:17 The more I dig into what is accumulating in human body, the more alarmed I am. 30:23 because I didn't know. 30:24 I looked into PFAS with a half life of, what is it, nine years or five years, years in the body with excretion routes that are very difficult and it doesn't 30:35 go out in sweat that easily. 30:37 And then you look, okay, well, this is just one class of things. 30:40 What about lead stored in bones? 30:43 Okay, it's stored and bones. 30:45 Is it stable in bone? 30:46 No, there is a bone turnover that is natural. 30:49 There is this 20 something day cycle. 30:52 So that lead will leave your body, recirculate to wreak havoc and then restore in bones. 30:58 And I'm like, oh my God. 31:00 So you're not even protected. 31:01 It's not like your lead and bone is just hanging out there and you are like oh yes, it's stored at least. 31:08 But it is also wreaking havoc. 31:10 Then of course, It is not just stored in bone. 31:13 it could be in other tissues. 31:15 And it's something that is not even controversial to say that lead is extremely neurotoxic. 31:21 And I'm saying this now, and I like, uh-oh, I alarm myself at what I am saying, right? 31:26 So the reality is that it is it extremely uncontroversial to see that we each have a body burden. 31:34 We don't know to what extent. 31:36 No one has the probably the budget or the time to test for every single chemical that exists. 31:44 It's not even that useful, but we have to, I think, a framework where you say, okay, i surely have more toxins in my body than I should. 31:53 You know, the amount that should be there is near zero, right? 31:56 It should, back in ancestral times, it wouldn't be these modern exposures. 32:01 So all of them need to go to as close to zero as possible. 32:05 So everyone can therefore benefit from looking at strategies that are time tested. 32:10 Strategy of avoidance by filtering out your water. 32:14 Avoidance, the strategy of opening up detox pathways by moving your body or by sweating more. 32:22 Like these things are not controversial either. 32:25 What is controversial, I think, is just health authorities are still completely stuck in a paradigm that was never useful to start with, 32:35 but like studying one single toxin and the impact on one, single disease category, we are so far behind. 32:44 So the reality, yes, and it's a sad and dramatic reality is that it is up to us to take control of that and to be loud, because eventually, 32:56 I have great hope and I'm trying to connect with the right people that You know, environmental medicine needs to make it to public health in a big way 33:05 because the population is not getting better. 33:07 And while we have all these different tools, I hear about peptides and you know that. 33:14 Yeah, maybe some of them can help alleviate symptoms, but the fundamentals need to include environmental medicines. 33:20 This is what I'm convinced about and it needs to include EMFs. 33:24 And that's part of what excites me is, you know, the physicians know about toxic exposures and they know the importance of the environment and then the 33:33 important of removing the bad stuff from the body, bringing the good in. 33:37 I just feel like this is a paradigm that needs make it everywhere. 33:41 So that is my hope that the movie will contribute to that at least a little bit. 33:46 It's a mission and it's been interesting where the past two years, we've had a lot of physicians referring their patients to deeper healing. 33:53 They are recognizing, I don't know what to do with this patient who's super sick and I'm not trained in environment. 34:00 I know I am out of my depth, you know, with person and I'm like, okay, this is cool. 34:09 So they're really starting the, the educated physician, practitioner, naturopath, you know, nurse practitioner. 34:17 They're starting to recognize, Okay, This is a missing part of what I've learned. 34:23 And I really think that we're barreling towards. 34:28 Um, this becoming part of medical education, just becoming of naturopathic education that environmental medicine will actually be one of the categories 34:38 that you can specialize in and know deeply because as you said, we are, were an epidemic of people who were sick from environmental factors. 34:49 And then where'd he go? 34:49 What do you do? 34:50 You know? 34:51 I mean, we're talking to people all over the world and they're like, there's nowhere to go. 34:55 It's just, it's not, It is really, really not. 34:58 So I do think that has been the greatest gift of COVID. 35:02 I think it has a really big gift. 35:04 And I love the work that like Food Aid is doing. 35:07 Like the people who are really like taking something, like whether it is Roundup or they are taking on the EMFs. 35:15 Thank you for taking on the food or taking the guys or just one aspect of what's going on. 35:21 Because at the end of the day, no matter how much cleaning up we do, which you're doing and I'm doing personally, I am still living in the same world as 35:29 everyone else. 35:30 So this is why you need regular sauna. 35:35 You could sit here and do a bunch of rejuvenates and get your body, get you organs all cleaned out. 35:39 But guess what?
Hope, prevention, and closing resources 35:40 You're back out in the world again. 35:42 So we also have to fight the fight of we don't want this in our world. 35:46 We don' want PFAS in out world, you know? 35:48 Watching the movie, I'll never forget when I watched The Devil We Know, which was, it's a movie. 35:55 It's years old, but it was about the PFAs journey. 35:59 And you get to the end of the move and they're basically like, This can't be removed from the body. 36:04 It has a super long life in the world. 36:07 And they just changed the name and they're still doing it. 36:10 You're like, are you kidding me right now? 36:14 You think you're watching something that's going to have a nice bow at the end? 36:17 Like, oh, and it's all better now. 36:19 No, not. 36:20 So, you know, I think a lot of people who feel overwhelmed are kind of like I don't want to look at that. 36:28 I say to people all the time, like, hey, I get it. 36:31 Ignorance is bliss. 36:33 But it doesn't make it untrue if you ignore it, right? 36:37 It's still happening whether you ignored it or not. 36:41 So you can do something about it or not, and you will pay the price or no. 36:45 So I like to be an educated person. 36:48 I say I'd like choose my toxins. 36:50 But I don't want to choose a cleaner and a toothpaste. 36:52 You know, I want those things to not hurt me. 36:54 Do you have to eat perfectly clean all the time? 36:55 No, you could have joy. 37:10 It's not about not living, you know, it's about having a long life well lived. 37:16 And that's what I love about the movie. 37:18 Nikki did such a good job. 37:20 Michael did a such good a job, I'm very proud of the film and I really gonna shout it from the rooftops. 37:27 Everyone needs to see that movie, they need to understand for their benefit of their children, their families and their future. 37:35 and fight the fight every day. 37:37 Not just food, babe, and not just, there are these people who are really fighting hard, but we need to sign their petitions and get behind them as well. 37:45 Like, we don't want this. 37:48 We don' want it. 37:48 And we deserve better. 37:51 Exactly. 37:52 And I feel like the movie is filling kind of a gap in that entire conversation of we're getting poisoned. 37:59 Yes, we are. 38:00 We have to fight against the polluters, including, for me, it's the telecoms. 38:05 For Food Baby, It's like Monsanto and these pesticide corporations. 38:11 But what do we do? 38:13 in the meantime, to start undoing some of the damage that we have inside us. 38:18 And that's kind of, the accumulation of that body burden. 38:22 I feel like there's not a lot of people who talk about that framework that exists. 38:28 It's a seven-day green smoothie diet, it's just not that. 38:35 a certain framework and that framework is environmental medicine, I'm convinced of it. 38:40 I just hope that many people start looking into it and at a minimum start taking their personal intake of toxins more seriously and do what they can to 38:50 get them out. 38:51 And I know it is a daunting journey, but for a lot of people, they told me, Okay, well, at least now I know and I'm inspired to do more and see if I can 39:01 feel better. 39:02 Right. 39:02 Because in the end, I want to spin it as a positive here. 39:05 It's not just about, you know, removing these toxins and, blaming these polluters. 39:11 Can you feel now while you have a life to live? 39:14 Right? 39:15 You can. 39:15 You certainly I am the example. 39:18 And if you tell me that Maybe in two years, I'll feel even cleaner here, especially in my mind. 39:24 I love it. 39:25 It makes you able to cope with the fact that it is a messed up world. 39:40 The pollution is there and there's a lot of injustice. 39:44 You know, the huge march against Monsanto people versus poison. 39:47 Yesterday, I'm going to have to look at what happened. 39:50 I know so many thousands of people, you know are fighting against this nonsense. 39:56 But the thing is, if you clean yourself up and you become, have more mental capacity, then you can contribute even more. 40:04 So we have work on that individually to be able to contribute to this world. 40:08 At the end of the day, we vote with our dollars. 40:11 We vote our money. 40:12 Dr. 40:13 B says all the time, he's like, there's the mirror and the window. 40:17 And I love that. 40:18 He's, like you can't control what's going on outside the windows, but you control with going in front of a mirror. 40:23 So what do you do with that? 40:25 You control how you spend your money, you controlled what you bring into your environment, and you controls your daily decisions. 40:33 How am I going to live my life? 40:35 And your health is priceless. 40:37 Everyone agrees on that. 40:39 Everyone agreed on. 40:40 And the more that, um, the morning we just shed the overwhelm and just take it one step at a time, you know, I'm going to switch out this for that and 40:50 there's loads of help out there. 40:51 I would say the easiest quickest thing to do is take the toxin quiz. 40:56 See what your areas are. 40:58 Okay, it'll tell you for free. 41:00 What's your number one driver?
