Full Transcript Root Cause Cardiology Explained 0:02 Cardiology for years has been really 0:02 Cardiology for years has been really successful in helping reduce heart 0:05 successful in helping reduce heart 0:05 successful in helping reduce heart attack risk, keeping people alive, but I 0:07 attack risk, keeping people alive, but I 0:07 attack risk, keeping people alive, but I think we've been right for a lot of the 0:09 think we've been right for a lot of the 0:09 think we've been right for a lot of the wrong reasons. And as you look at 0:11 wrong reasons. And as you look at 0:11 wrong reasons. And as you look at cardiovascular medicine, you know, we're 0:12 cardiovascular medicine, you know, we're 0:12 cardiovascular medicine, you know, we're bringing blood pressure down, we're 0:13 bringing blood pressure down, we're 0:13 bringing blood pressure down, we're bringing LDL cholesterol down, we're 0:16 bringing LDL cholesterol down, we're 0:16 bringing LDL cholesterol down, we're getting people on all these medications. 0:17 getting people on all these medications. 0:17 getting people on all these medications. We're treating the consequence of a root 0:20 We're treating the consequence of a root 0:20 We're treating the consequence of a root cause issue, but not the root cause 0:22 cause issue, but not the root cause 0:22 cause issue, but not the root cause itself. And as we think about root cause 0:24 itself. And as we think about root cause 0:24 itself. And as we think about root cause cardiology, it's a lot of the same 0:26 cardiology, it's a lot of the same 0:26 cardiology, it's a lot of the same things that we see in root cause 0:28 things that we see in root cause 0:28 things that we see in root cause disruption of almost any organ system. 0:30 disruption of almost any organ system. 0:30 disruption of almost any organ system. It's the toxicities and the exposures 0:32 It's the toxicities and the exposures 0:32 It's the toxicities and the exposures that we have. It's the stress, the lack 0:35 that we have. It's the stress, the lack 0:35 that we have. It's the stress, the lack of sleep, our diets leading to our body 0:38 of sleep, our diets leading to our body 0:38 of sleep, our diets leading to our body really getting out of balance, and our 0:41 really getting out of balance, and our 0:41 really getting out of balance, and our systems don't know what to do. Oxidative 0:43 systems don't know what to do. Oxidative 0:43 systems don't know what to do. Oxidative stress is a huge thing that I contend 0:45 stress is a huge thing that I contend 0:45 stress is a huge thing that I contend with in my functional cardiology 0:46 with in my functional cardiology 0:46 with in my functional cardiology practice.
Why Heart Disease Is Misunderstood 0:47 practice. 0:47 practice. >> Yeah, I'm thinking about my own heart 0:49 >> Yeah, I'm thinking about my own heart 0:49 >> Yeah, I'm thinking about my own heart issue story, and this is how I ended up 0:50 issue story, and this is how I ended up 0:50 issue story, and this is how I ended up in the hospital. I thought I was having 0:51 in the hospital. I thought I was having 0:51 in the hospital. I thought I was having a heart attack. 0:52 a heart attack. 0:52 a heart attack. >> Uh-oh. And I didn't have medical 0:53 >> Uh-oh. And I didn't have medical 0:53 >> Uh-oh. And I didn't have medical insurance, so I went to an urgent care, 0:55 insurance, so I went to an urgent care, 0:55 insurance, so I went to an urgent care, and they said, "Yeah, you got to go to 0:57 and they said, "Yeah, you got to go to 0:57 and they said, "Yeah, you got to go to the ER right now." Really scared me. And 0:59 the ER right now." Really scared me. And 0:59 the ER right now." Really scared me. And of course, come to find out the EKG was 1:02 of course, come to find out the EKG was 1:02 of course, come to find out the EKG was fine. They couldn't find anything wrong 1:03 fine. They couldn't find anything wrong 1:03 fine. They couldn't find anything wrong with me, even though I felt like I was 1:05 with me, even though I felt like I was 1:05 with me, even though I felt like I was dying, and it wouldn't stop. They put me 1:07 dying, and it wouldn't stop. They put me 1:07 dying, and it wouldn't stop. They put me through the MRIs, the CAT scans. There's 1:08 through the MRIs, the CAT scans. There's 1:09 through the MRIs, the CAT scans. There's nothing to cut out, you know, so they 1:10 nothing to cut out, you know, so they 1:10 nothing to cut out, you know, so they just when from being very interested in 1:12 just when from being very interested in 1:12 just when from being very interested in me, the hospitalists were like, "Oh, we 1:13 me, the hospitalists were like, "Oh, we 1:13 me, the hospitalists were like, "Oh, we got a live one. Let's figure this case 1:15 got a live one. Let's figure this case 1:15 got a live one. Let's figure this case out." To "Why are you still asking me 1:16 out." To "Why are you still asking me 1:16 out." To "Why are you still asking me questions? I don't want to stop by your 1:18 questions? I don't want to stop by your 1:18 questions? I don't want to stop by your room." And I actually walked out of that 1:19 room." And I actually walked out of that 1:19 room." And I actually walked out of that hospital without even checking myself 1:22 hospital without even checking myself 1:22 hospital without even checking myself out because I was so sure that I was 1:24 out because I was so sure that I was 1:24 out because I was so sure that I was going home to die. I didn't even fill 1:25 going home to die. I didn't even fill 1:25 going home to die. I didn't even fill out the paperwork cuz I knew one, 1:26 out the paperwork cuz I knew one, 1:26 out the paperwork cuz I knew one, there's no way to pay the bill, two, I 1:28 there's no way to pay the bill, two, I 1:28 there's no way to pay the bill, two, I was really sure I was going to be dead 1:29 was really sure I was going to be dead 1:29 was really sure I was going to be dead by then. And you know, come to find out 1:31 by then. And you know, come to find out 1:31 by then. And you know, come to find out years later in the process of trying to 1:33 years later in the process of trying to 1:33 years later in the process of trying to resolve my illness issues, "Oh, okay, 1:35 resolve my illness issues, "Oh, okay, 1:35 resolve my illness issues, "Oh, okay, mold can be a huge driver of 1:36 mold can be a huge driver of 1:36 mold can be a huge driver of cardiovascular stress." And that 1:38 cardiovascular stress." And that 1:38 cardiovascular stress." And that tachycardia and those signs and signals 1:40 tachycardia and those signs and signals 1:40 tachycardia and those signs and signals that my nervous system was completely 1:42 that my nervous system was completely 1:42 that my nervous system was completely shutting down could have actually driven 1:44 shutting down could have actually driven 1:44 shutting down could have actually driven solely by mold. Yeah, I mean, when we
Mold Exposure And Missed Diagnoses 1:46 solely by mold. Yeah, I mean, when we 1:46 solely by mold. Yeah, I mean, when we think about the traditional 1:47 think about the traditional 1:47 think about the traditional cardiovascular risk factors, things like 1:49 cardiovascular risk factors, things like 1:49 cardiovascular risk factors, things like age, family history, smoking, diet, in 1:52 age, family history, smoking, diet, in 1:52 age, family history, smoking, diet, in the conventional model of cardiology, we 1:54 the conventional model of cardiology, we 1:54 the conventional model of cardiology, we don't think outside of those five or six 1:56 don't think outside of those five or six 1:56 don't think outside of those five or six risk factors. I mean, I did, you know, 3 1:58 risk factors. I mean, I did, you know, 3 1:58 risk factors. I mean, I did, you know, 3 years of internal medicine training, 3 2:00 years of internal medicine training, 3 2:00 years of internal medicine training, 3 of cardiology, one of general 2:02 of cardiology, one of general 2:02 of cardiology, one of general cardiology, one of interventional 2:03 cardiology, one of interventional 2:03 cardiology, one of interventional cardiology. And in those 4 years of 2:05 cardiology. And in those 4 years of 2:05 cardiology. And in those 4 years of cardiology, how many times do you think 2:07 cardiology, how many times do you think 2:07 cardiology, how many times do you think I heard the word mold? Negative six 2:09 I heard the word mold? Negative six 2:09 I heard the word mold? Negative six would be an overestimate of how often I 2:11 would be an overestimate of how often I 2:11 would be an overestimate of how often I heard that. We really aren't trained to 2:14 heard that. We really aren't trained to 2:14 heard that. We really aren't trained to think of these, quote unquote, zebras, 2:16 think of these, quote unquote, zebras, 2:16 think of these, quote unquote, zebras, as we say in medicine, because the, by 2:19 as we say in medicine, because the, by 2:19 as we say in medicine, because the, by and large, things that we're dealing 2:20 and large, things that we're dealing 2:20 and large, things that we're dealing with are heart attack from diet, or what 2:23 with are heart attack from diet, or what 2:23 with are heart attack from diet, or what we call essential hypertension, which I 2:24 we call essential hypertension, which I 2:24 we call essential hypertension, which I don't think is really essential, but 2:26 don't think is really essential, but 2:26 don't think is really essential, but just the things that we have therapies 2:28 just the things that we have therapies 2:28 just the things that we have therapies for, right? It's like, don't ask a 2:29 for, right? It's like, don't ask a 2:29 for, right? It's like, don't ask a question you don't have an answer to. 2:31 question you don't have an answer to. 2:31 question you don't have an answer to. When someone does come in and doesn't 2:33 When someone does come in and doesn't 2:33 When someone does come in and doesn't fit that mold, so to speak, right? 2:35 fit that mold, so to speak, right? 2:35 fit that mold, so to speak, right? Doesn't fit the traditional framework, 2:36 Doesn't fit the traditional framework, 2:36 Doesn't fit the traditional framework, maybe it's a mold issue, or it's an 2:37 maybe it's a mold issue, or it's an 2:38 maybe it's a mold issue, or it's an environmental exposure issue. We don't 2:40 environmental exposure issue. We don't 2:40 environmental exposure issue. We don't know in our conventional training how to 2:42 know in our conventional training how to 2:42 know in our conventional training how to address that. So, these patients, these 2:44 address that. So, these patients, these 2:44 address that. So, these patients, these people become, I call them patient 2:46 people become, I call them patient 2:46 people become, I call them patient nomads, medical nomads. They go from 2:47 nomads, medical nomads. They go from 2:47 nomads, medical nomads. They go from here to there searching for answers, 2:49 here to there searching for answers, 2:49 here to there searching for answers, never finding any one person who can 2:52 never finding any one person who can 2:52 never finding any one person who can say, "Oh, yeah, tell me about where you 2:53 say, "Oh, yeah, tell me about where you 2:53 say, "Oh, yeah, tell me about where you grew up." You know, "Oh, you're from 2:54 grew up." You know, "Oh, you're from 2:54 grew up." You know, "Oh, you're from Florida." This happened to me the other 2:55 Florida." This happened to me the other 2:55 Florida." This happened to me the other day. I had a patient, she was saying, 2:57 day. I had a patient, she was saying, 2:57 day. I had a patient, she was saying, "Ever since I was 17, I've just felt 3:00 "Ever since I was 17, I've just felt 3:00 "Ever since I was 17, I've just felt off. My periods were abnormal, I get 3:02 off. My periods were abnormal, I get 3:02 off. My periods were abnormal, I get these weird headaches, I have these 3:03 these weird headaches, I have these 3:03 these weird headaches, I have these recurrent sinusitis episodes, this, 3:05 recurrent sinusitis episodes, this, 3:05 recurrent sinusitis episodes, this, that, and the other." And I was like, 3:06 that, and the other." And I was like, 3:06 that, and the other." And I was like, "17, huh? That's interesting. You know, 3:08 "17, huh? That's interesting. You know, 3:08 "17, huh? That's interesting. You know, that was your junior to senior year." 3:09 that was your junior to senior year." 3:09 that was your junior to senior year." And I have my kids are in that space 3:11 And I have my kids are in that space 3:11 And I have my kids are in that space right now, and I can't imagine them 3:12 right now, and I can't imagine them 3:12 right now, and I can't imagine them feeling so poor for so long. So, I said, 3:14 feeling so poor for so long. So, I said, 3:14 feeling so poor for so long. So, I said, "Tell me about the house you grew up 3:15 "Tell me about the house you grew up 3:15 "Tell me about the house you grew up in." "Oh, well, that was the year we 3:17 in." "Oh, well, that was the year we 3:17 in." "Oh, well, that was the year we moved from Texas to Florida." Oof. And 3:19 moved from Texas to Florida." Oof. And 3:19 moved from Texas to Florida." Oof. And was it humid in where you lived? "Oh, 3:21 was it humid in where you lived? "Oh, 3:21 was it humid in where you lived? "Oh, yeah, it was super super humid. You 3:23 yeah, it was super super humid. You 3:23 yeah, it was super super humid. You know, my hair would poof out, all these 3:24 know, my hair would poof out, all these 3:24 know, my hair would poof out, all these things." And I said, "You know what? 3:25 things." And I said, "You know what? 3:25 things." And I said, "You know what? You've probably been dealing with 3:26 You've probably been dealing with 3:26 You've probably been dealing with chronic mold for so long, or at least 3:28 chronic mold for so long, or at least 3:28 chronic mold for so long, or at least some exposure to mold nobody ever 3:30 some exposure to mold nobody ever 3:30 some exposure to mold nobody ever addressed." And I think of her, she's 3:32 addressed." And I think of her, she's 3:32 addressed." And I think of her, she's now in her early 50s, for 25 years. 3:35 now in her early 50s, for 25 years. 3:35 now in her early 50s, for 25 years. There, I mean, the the, quote unquote, 3:37 There, I mean, the the, quote unquote, 3:37 There, I mean, the the, quote unquote, best years of her life, she's been 3:38 best years of her life, she's been 3:38 best years of her life, she's been suffering with these issues that nobody 3:40 suffering with these issues that nobody 3:41 suffering with these issues that nobody thought to address because they never 3:42 thought to address because they never 3:42 thought to address because they never even knew how to ask the right question. 3:43 even knew how to ask the right question. 3:43 even knew how to ask the right question. And she happens to be a mom on one of my 3:45 And she happens to be a mom on one of my 3:45 And she happens to be a mom on one of my kids' sports teams, and she said, "Hey, 3:46 kids' sports teams, and she said, "Hey, 3:46 kids' sports teams, and she said, "Hey, you're a functional doctor now, right? 3:48 you're a functional doctor now, right? 3:48 you're a functional doctor now, right? Like, can can I just, you know, ask you 3:50 Like, can can I just, you know, ask you 3:50 Like, can can I just, you know, ask you about this?" And it's tragic to see how 3:52 about this?" And it's tragic to see how 3:52 about this?" And it's tragic to see how many people are unserved by our 3:55 many people are unserved by our 3:55 many people are unserved by our conventional system that are just forced 3:57 conventional system that are just forced 3:57 conventional system that are just forced to suffer because the conventional 3:59 to suffer because the conventional 3:59 to suffer because the conventional wisdom or the conventional teaching just 4:00 wisdom or the conventional teaching just 4:00 wisdom or the conventional teaching just doesn't teach you even the right 4:02 doesn't teach you even the right 4:02 doesn't teach you even the right questions to ask.
What Cardiology Still Gets Wrong 4:03 questions to ask. 4:03 questions to ask. >> So, I have to ask because of that, like, 4:04 >> So, I have to ask because of that, like, 4:04 >> So, I have to ask because of that, like, your your have a functional medicine 4:05 your your have a functional medicine 4:06 your your have a functional medicine approach, and you do much more in-depth 4:07 approach, and you do much more in-depth 4:07 approach, and you do much more in-depth testing than most cardiologists. What is 4:09 testing than most cardiologists. What is 4:09 testing than most cardiologists. What is still getting missed in the functional 4:11 still getting missed in the functional 4:11 still getting missed in the functional cardiology space that you wish more of 4:13 cardiology space that you wish more of 4:13 cardiology space that you wish more of your colleagues understood? 4:15 your colleagues understood? 4:15 your colleagues understood? >> Cholesterol is a part of the equation, 4:17 >> Cholesterol is a part of the equation, 4:17 >> Cholesterol is a part of the equation, but it's not the entire equation, right? 4:19 but it's not the entire equation, right? 4:19 but it's not the entire equation, right? It's just one term in the equation, so 4:20 It's just one term in the equation, so 4:20 It's just one term in the equation, so to speak. You have to look at people's 4:23 to speak. You have to look at people's 4:23 to speak. You have to look at people's lifestyle, their stress level, the sleep 4:25 lifestyle, their stress level, the sleep 4:25 lifestyle, their stress level, the sleep that they're getting. You absolutely 4:26 that they're getting. You absolutely 4:26 that they're getting. You absolutely have to look at their exposures. I mean, 4:28 have to look at their exposures. I mean, 4:28 have to look at their exposures. I mean, we have literature in the cardiology 4:30 we have literature in the cardiology 4:30 we have literature in the cardiology space that documents this. There's a 4:32 space that documents this. There's a 4:32 space that documents this. There's a landmark trial from, I think it was 4:34 landmark trial from, I think it was 4:34 landmark trial from, I think it was Circulation a few years ago, which is 4:36 Circulation a few years ago, which is 4:36 Circulation a few years ago, which is one of our big journals, that said, 4:37 one of our big journals, that said, 4:37 one of our big journals, that said, "People who live within 50 m of a 4:40 "People who live within 50 m of a 4:40 "People who live within 50 m of a highway, like a major interstate, are at 4:41 highway, like a major interstate, are at 4:41 highway, like a major interstate, are at a two- to threefold higher risk of 4:44 a two- to threefold higher risk of 4:44 a two- to threefold higher risk of cardiovascular events because of the 4:45 cardiovascular events because of the 4:45 cardiovascular events because of the particulates in the air." There is a 4:47 particulates in the air." There is a 4:47 particulates in the air." There is a little-known journal called the New 4:49 little-known journal called the New 4:49 little-known journal called the New England Journal of Medicine that ran a 4:51 England Journal of Medicine that ran a 4:51 England Journal of Medicine that ran a review article on environmental factors 4:53 review article on environmental factors 4:53 review article on environmental factors and heart disease. And it's a fantastic 4:56 and heart disease. And it's a fantastic 4:56 and heart disease. And it's a fantastic article, but as I go to cardiology 4:57 article, but as I go to cardiology 4:57 article, but as I go to cardiology conferences, nobody is ever talking 4:59 conferences, nobody is ever talking 4:59 conferences, nobody is ever talking about it. Why? Because I think there's 5:00 about it. Why? Because I think there's 5:00 about it. Why? Because I think there's just not an understanding of what do we 5:03 just not an understanding of what do we 5:03 just not an understanding of what do we do? What do we do with this? And that's 5:05 do? What do we do with this? And that's 5:05 do? What do we do with this? And that's where the functional model is so 5:06 where the functional model is so 5:06 where the functional model is so important, because we have that. We have 5:08 important, because we have that. We have 5:08 important, because we have that. We have the knowledge how to detoxify someone, 5:10 the knowledge how to detoxify someone, 5:10 the knowledge how to detoxify someone, lead, cadmium. We know how to get some 5:12 lead, cadmium. We know how to get some 5:12 lead, cadmium. We know how to get some of that stuff out. If there's mold 5:13 of that stuff out. If there's mold 5:13 of that stuff out. If there's mold exposure, we know, number one, how to 5:14 exposure, we know, number one, how to 5:14 exposure, we know, number one, how to test for it. And then, what can you do 5:15 test for it. And then, what can you do 5:15 test for it. And then, what can you do to support someone's own detox so their 5:17 to support someone's own detox so their 5:17 to support someone's own detox so their body can heal. It's difficult, right? 5:19 body can heal. It's difficult, right? 5:19 body can heal. It's difficult, right? It's not something that's easy. It's not 5:21 It's not something that's easy. It's not 5:21 It's not something that's easy. It's not like I can say, "Take 10 days of this 5:22 like I can say, "Take 10 days of this 5:22 like I can say, "Take 10 days of this and you'll feel better." I mean, these 5:24 and you'll feel better." I mean, these 5:24 and you'll feel better." I mean, these things take time, and I feel in the ADHD 5:27 things take time, and I feel in the ADHD 5:27 things take time, and I feel in the ADHD of conventional medicine, where you have 5:28 of conventional medicine, where you have 5:28 of conventional medicine, where you have a 7 and 1/2 minute visit with a doctor 5:30 a 7 and 1/2 minute visit with a doctor 5:30 a 7 and 1/2 minute visit with a doctor once every 6 months, and the patients, 5:32 once every 6 months, and the patients, 5:32 once every 6 months, and the patients, on average, are getting interrupted 7.2 5:34 on average, are getting interrupted 7.2 5:34 on average, are getting interrupted 7.2 seconds into their visit by the 5:36 seconds into their visit by the 5:36 seconds into their visit by the practitioner, we just don't have the the 5:38 practitioner, we just don't have the the 5:38 practitioner, we just don't have the the long-term approach and the long-term 5:40 long-term approach and the long-term 5:40 long-term approach and the long-term thought to what can I do to really not 5:43 thought to what can I do to really not 5:43 thought to what can I do to really not just treat this patient today, but heal 5:45 just treat this patient today, but heal 5:45 just treat this patient today, but heal this patient over a long term. And 5:46 this patient over a long term. And 5:46 this patient over a long term. And that's that mindset shift that we need 5:48 that's that mindset shift that we need 5:48 that's that mindset shift that we need to see not just in cardiology, 5:50 to see not just in cardiology, 5:50 to see not just in cardiology, certainly, but in all of medicine. When
Leaky Gut And Blood Vessel Damage 5:51 certainly, but in all of medicine. When 5:51 certainly, but in all of medicine. When I look at that and the exposures and how 5:53 I look at that and the exposures and how 5:53 I look at that and the exposures and how they have a increased over the last 5:55 they have a increased over the last 5:55 they have a increased over the last couple of decades, you know, when you 5:57 couple of decades, you know, when you 5:57 couple of decades, you know, when you add things in like glyphosate, you're 5:58 add things in like glyphosate, you're 5:58 add things in like glyphosate, you're really destroying the gut's ability to 6:00 really destroying the gut's ability to 6:00 really destroying the gut's ability to absorb its own nutrients, and you're 6:02 absorb its own nutrients, and you're 6:02 absorb its own nutrients, and you're creating leaky gut on contact with that 6:04 creating leaky gut on contact with that 6:04 creating leaky gut on contact with that glyphosate even in micro amounts. So 6:06 glyphosate even in micro amounts. So 6:06 glyphosate even in micro amounts. So then, you're almost requiring an immune 6:08 then, you're almost requiring an immune 6:08 then, you're almost requiring an immune response because things are getting out 6:10 response because things are getting out 6:10 response because things are getting out into the bloodstream that never should 6:11 into the bloodstream that never should 6:11 into the bloodstream that never should have been there. Leaky gut, you just 6:13 have been there. Leaky gut, you just 6:13 have been there. Leaky gut, you just said it, goes into the bloodstream and 6:14 said it, goes into the bloodstream and 6:14 said it, goes into the bloodstream and leads to leaky vessel. Mhm. Right? So, 6:16 leads to leaky vessel. Mhm. Right? So, 6:16 leads to leaky vessel. Mhm. Right? So, now we're starting to talk about 6:17 now we're starting to talk about 6:17 now we're starting to talk about damaging the inner lining of the blood 6:19 damaging the inner lining of the blood 6:19 damaging the inner lining of the blood vessels, the glycocalyx, the 6:21 vessels, the glycocalyx, the 6:21 vessels, the glycocalyx, the endothelium. And what happens when that 6:22 endothelium. And what happens when that 6:22 endothelium. And what happens when that gets disrupted? Well, your body says, 6:24 gets disrupted? Well, your body says, 6:24 gets disrupted? Well, your body says, "Something is happening that's not 6:26 "Something is happening that's not 6:26 "Something is happening that's not supposed to happen. I'm going to start 6:27 supposed to happen. I'm going to start 6:27 supposed to happen. I'm going to start attacking things like LDL, and I'm going 6:29 attacking things like LDL, and I'm going 6:29 attacking things like LDL, and I'm going to start doing things like bringing this 6:31 to start doing things like bringing this 6:31 to start doing things like bringing this in and creating plaques and putting 6:33 in and creating plaques and putting 6:33 in and creating plaques and putting calcium around them to to block them 6:35 calcium around them to to block them 6:35 calcium around them to to block them from going anywhere." And that's the 6:36 from going anywhere." And that's the 6:36 from going anywhere." And that's the intrinsic link in the knee bone to thigh 6:38 intrinsic link in the knee bone to thigh 6:38 intrinsic link in the knee bone to thigh bone to hip bone kind of connection that 6:40 bone to hip bone kind of connection that 6:40 bone to hip bone kind of connection that you see with what I see now in 6:41 you see with what I see now in 6:41 you see with what I see now in cardiology in in the functional spaces, 6:43 cardiology in in the functional spaces, 6:44 cardiology in in the functional spaces, you can't heal the vessels until you've 6:45 you can't heal the vessels until you've 6:45 you can't heal the vessels until you've healed the gut, right? And you have to 6:47 healed the gut, right? And you have to 6:47 healed the gut, right? And you have to look at diet. And even at that, you 6:48 look at diet. And even at that, you 6:48 look at diet. And even at that, you mentioned the foods that we're eating. 6:49 mentioned the foods that we're eating. 6:49 mentioned the foods that we're eating. The orange of today is so different than 6:51 The orange of today is so different than 6:51 The orange of today is so different than the orange that I grew up with, right? 6:53 the orange that I grew up with, right? 6:53 the orange that I grew up with, right? In terms of nutrient density, but also 6:55 In terms of nutrient density, but also 6:55 In terms of nutrient density, but also in terms of the pesticides and the 6:56 in terms of the pesticides and the 6:56 in terms of the pesticides and the chemicals that are used to grow our 6:58 chemicals that are used to grow our 6:58 chemicals that are used to grow our food, not only just leaching the micro 7:00 food, not only just leaching the micro 7:00 food, not only just leaching the micro biome of the soil, making it more 7:01 biome of the soil, making it more 7:01 biome of the soil, making it more difficult for vitamins to get fixed and 7:03 difficult for vitamins to get fixed and 7:03 difficult for vitamins to get fixed and heavy metals to become bioavailable, 7:04 heavy metals to become bioavailable, 7:04 heavy metals to become bioavailable, that also then comes into us and feeds 7:07 that also then comes into us and feeds 7:07 that also then comes into us and feeds or destroys our own microbiome. Really, 7:08 or destroys our own microbiome. Really, 7:08 or destroys our own microbiome. Really, you can get major dysbiosis, right? 7:11 you can get major dysbiosis, right? 7:11 you can get major dysbiosis, right? Major abnormalities of the microbiome 7:13 Major abnormalities of the microbiome 7:13 Major abnormalities of the microbiome that have health consequences. I mean, 7:14 that have health consequences. I mean, 7:14 that have health consequences. I mean, even these micro shifts in the 7:16 even these micro shifts in the 7:16 even these micro shifts in the microbiome, you know, losing one or two 7:19 microbiome, you know, losing one or two 7:19 microbiome, you know, losing one or two different species here and there has to 7:21 different species here and there has to 7:21 different species here and there has to have an effect. Nothing happens by 7:22 have an effect. Nothing happens by 7:22 have an effect. Nothing happens by accident in nature. And we have a robust 7:24 accident in nature. And we have a robust 7:24 accident in nature. And we have a robust microbiome for a reason. Why? Because we 7:26 microbiome for a reason. Why? Because we 7:26 microbiome for a reason. Why? Because we need all of it. And the thing that 7:27 need all of it. And the thing that 7:27 need all of it. And the thing that fascinates me is we're we're born from a 7:29 fascinates me is we're we're born from a 7:29 fascinates me is we're we're born from a sterile environment, right? Moms' wombs 7:31 sterile environment, right? Moms' wombs 7:31 sterile environment, right? Moms' wombs are sterile. Somehow, all these bacteria 7:33 are sterile. Somehow, all these bacteria 7:33 are sterile. Somehow, all these bacteria get into our system, right? They're 7:34 get into our system, right? They're 7:34 get into our system, right? They're supposed to be there, right? And all 7:36 supposed to be there, right? And all 7:36 supposed to be there, right? And all these things that we're doing in terms 7:37 these things that we're doing in terms 7:37 these things that we're doing in terms of our lifestyle, stress, sleep, you 7:39 of our lifestyle, stress, sleep, you 7:39 of our lifestyle, stress, sleep, you know, that is not just something as 7:40 know, that is not just something as 7:40 know, that is not just something as obvious as the the chemicals in our 7:43 obvious as the the chemicals in our 7:43 obvious as the the chemicals in our food, but stressing out, blue light 7:45 food, but stressing out, blue light 7:45 food, but stressing out, blue light devices. That stress affects the 7:47 devices. That stress affects the 7:47 devices. That stress affects the composition of our microbiome, and 7:49 composition of our microbiome, and 7:49 composition of our microbiome, and therefore, our cardiovascular health, 7:50 therefore, our cardiovascular health, 7:50 therefore, our cardiovascular health, our brain health.
Stress And Nervous System Impact 7:51 our brain health. 7:51 our brain health. >> Yeah, I think about how the nervous 7:52 >> Yeah, I think about how the nervous 7:52 >> Yeah, I think about how the nervous system is wanting to the world around us 7:54 system is wanting to the world around us 7:54 system is wanting to the world around us today. And as soon as you start to go 7:55 today. And as soon as you start to go 7:56 today. And as soon as you start to go into a stress response, of course, your 7:57 into a stress response, of course, your 7:57 into a stress response, of course, your body will, for the short term, down 7:59 body will, for the short term, down 7:59 body will, for the short term, down regulate digestion, drainage, detox, 8:01 regulate digestion, drainage, detox, 8:01 regulate digestion, drainage, detox, repair, and send all of your resources 8:03 repair, and send all of your resources 8:03 repair, and send all of your resources into meeting life's challenge in the 8:05 into meeting life's challenge in the 8:05 into meeting life's challenge in the moment right then. But if you're always 8:06 moment right then. But if you're always 8:06 moment right then. But if you're always stressed, either by the toxicants coming 8:08 stressed, either by the toxicants coming 8:08 stressed, either by the toxicants coming in from your environment through your 8:10 in from your environment through your 8:10 in from your environment through your food, air, and water, and your skin, or 8:11 food, air, and water, and your skin, or 8:11 food, air, and water, and your skin, or through the screen, and whatever the 8:13 through the screen, and whatever the 8:13 through the screen, and whatever the stressful news is that you're watching, 8:15 stressful news is that you're watching, 8:15 stressful news is that you're watching, you feel out of control, feel like your 8:16 you feel out of control, feel like your 8:16 you feel out of control, feel like your world around you is unsafe, of course, 8:18 world around you is unsafe, of course, 8:18 world around you is unsafe, of course, it's going to have a physiological 8:20 it's going to have a physiological 8:20 it's going to have a physiological response, right? And then, your body's 8:22 response, right? And then, your body's 8:22 response, right? And then, your body's not going to be in a position to keep up 8:23 not going to be in a position to keep up 8:23 not going to be in a position to keep up with just the daily wear and tear and 8:25 with just the daily wear and tear and 8:25 with just the daily wear and tear and the needs of your digestive tract, of 8:27 the needs of your digestive tract, of 8:27 the needs of your digestive tract, of course, [music] it's going to add up and 8:28 course, [music] it's going to add up and 8:28 course, [music] it's going to add up and all compound.
