- Understand how metabolic factors may influence mental health, as Stephanie connects mitochondrial function, blood sugar regulation, nutrient status, toxins, and nervous system communication with changes in mood and brain function.
- Discover how peptides and bioregulators are used as signaling tools, including why Stephanie distinguishes them from conventional symptom-focused approaches and stresses that different compounds, delivery methods, doses, and patient needs matter.
- Recognize why peptides are not a substitute for foundational health, as the conversation emphasizes nutrition, minerals, fatty acids, gut health, nervous system function, and other underlying factors that may affect how the brain and body respond.

All mental health disorder is a metabolic disorder that starts in the function and structure of the brain. Your kid is banging their head against a wall, smearing their feces on themselves and the family, biting grandma.
And it is causing divorce and bankruptcy and turmoil and chaos. So this is psychiatry solution. You just tranquilize them and lock them up in this prison.
We're thinking as victims, you're being programmed into you have a disease, a disorder. Don't be on this medicine forever, and I'm going to write you scripts.
Right. Thank you for my Mercedes. That doesn't have to be your life sentence. You can cure this. Stop saying you can't. It's a metabolic disorder. And you could actually reverse many things that we're told in conventional medicine are irreversible and permanent in your live.
Well, you have the break outside of the dogma. We have got to get this out as fast as we can. The most successful therapy in all of American psychiatry.
Do you know what it is? I have no idea. Hi, I'm Dr. Jess Petros, and on my podcast, Dr Jess Unfiltered, we uncover the real root cause of most misunderstood symptoms with help from top experts and real patients who healed themselves.
Welcome to the Dr Just Unfildered podcast. And I am sure many of you guys out there have wondered, what is this whole peptide hype? Is this legit? Or what do I have to look out for?
Because there are these pitfalls out You know, all the FDA is censoring things now, so I just thought, you know I'm going to have an expert come on here and school me too.
So I got the most expert person I could think of for peptides. Not only is she an expertise in peptide, she's a doctor of chiropractic medicine who's an experts in detoxification and root cause medicine.
She also is the author of the book Receive about feminine power and her specialty lies in mental health. So figuring out how to get patients off of medicine rather than put them on, which is what the conventional model does.
Dr. Stephanie Remka, thank you so much for being here. I was so excited to be here, you made me sound fantastic. Carl, love me. It is actually very worth it for you and well-deserving for.
So I've been kind of in awe about how you practice and what I have seen online. This is the first time we've met in real life in the wild. And when I thought of all the hype around peptides, all of the hyped around psychiatry and mental health, I love the way you have this no-nonsense approach with people and your audience in general.
Like, if it's a lie, you're going to go straight for the neck. Yes. So, tell me a little bit about your story, how you got into medicine, peptides, all the juicy stuff.
Well, I thought there was a debate in college between my advisors. biology major, Spanish major pre-med concentration, so I went to a small liberal arts school in Michigan.
So through that whole thing of trying to figure out what I was going to do in medical school, orthopedic surgery was high on the list because I as a college athlete and I liked biomedical engineering, and that was big.
And they're like, well, you're so tall and strong. They go, You could be an orthopaedic surgeon and very few women can. It'll make so much money." And I'm like, mm, that sounds great.
And then the psych professors were like you should go into child psychiatry. Oof, you know, and here's why. Based on what I was always writing papers about what was interested in.
So I very interested both those things and I ended up getting, I broke my back in college. I actually broke back my in high school. That's interesting.
Yeah, so I broke L5 and it herniated, ruptured the discs. So I was paralyzed. My right leg went numb and I wasn't in traction three times. I hospitalized a couple of times and wondering, you know, the surgeons were like, yeah, You're never playing again.
You are never running again and if we don't get this under control, your not walking again Oh my gosh. Yes, it was a lot of that. It was very scary time and watching kind of what happened to my physical body after that, thyroid shut down, I gain weight, and I'm fatigued.
I started walking again. And I used my mind a lot. A lot of visualization. Had been taught to visualize and meditate in sixth grade in school. So I just intuitively knew to start doing that.
Right? So as they're saying this, let's just swear and get it over with right now, had a lotta fuck you in me as a child. might still today. I've been a lot of meditation.
And I worked on that. So I pretty much, when he looked at me and said that, I was like, what? I didn't swear at that as a teenager, but inside of me, it was, like fuck you.
Who do you think you're talking to? Yeah. Yeah I am running again, playing again. Finally, get me out of here. This is not working for me. It was the third time.
So, I said, take me to the chiropractor. So I take him to Keith, and I've been getting adjusted since I was 16. And he brought me back to life, that and the power of my mind.
I did a lot of visualizations, but he does it, you have to be still, so lying flat in traction and lying on my mom's couch left me a lotta time to kind of, had an existential crisis at 20 years old.
And I saw the way the whole system was working and I wasn't happy with it. I ended up being hypothyroid and they didn't catch it, it took like a year of testing.
And like, I feel like I have mono, kind of classical fibromyalgia-esque, you know, trauma and what happens to the body sometimes at a whole breakdown.
So I was very discouraged. Like, these people are idiots. You know? And, like do I want to be a part of the idiot crew? I mean, that's how I felt. Do I want to only do this because of my ego?
I was very poor. My father was in prison my whole life. We were on welfare and food stamps. I as a scholarship, full ride kid everywhere, went to school.
And I'm like, I might only want be a doctor because I think that's the only way out of the ghetto. This is the way I am going to bring respect to the family and all this kind of stuff, right?
Take away the shame of everything my dad did. And so I sat with that for like a year. I went to the dean. And I said, I think I need to drop out of school.
He was like, no, it's like I don't know if I'm crying. Like I want to do this for the right reasons. It was all like just didn't want make money. So, I took a year off after I graduated.
I said, just graduate. A lot of my friends' dads were surgeons. So they took me into things, to see things and let me do things they probably never should have.
It was fantastic. You know, touching hearts, assisting in surgeries. Got to what it was like. And then I got a job working as a caseworker in a mental hospital in Michigan.
So that was my job. And my was to get the schizophrenics to see which ones were eligible to go into group homes, out into the community. Only women, right?
Because they were older, 50, 60, 70-year-old women. So in those two experiences, being able to read and see, in this mental hospital, and the heebie-jeebies, have you been in psych hospital?
Like an estate run, like what kind of, what goes through the body, walking through hallways? It's horrifying. It is, it's like a house of horrors. If you have any intuitive empathic sensitivities in your system, I mean, there were certain halls I'd look.
I'm like, I don't know. It's just like creepy. Like there's something not human almost. Yes. Whatever that, what's down there? What has happened down that hall is what you know?
Then you would just read. Oh, so she was raped six times in this place because they just drug them up. And then you have the lowest of the low that are orderlies and nurses.
The amount of abuse I saw, And I just kept saying, this can't be what we're doing. I go, so this is psychiatry solution? You just tranquilize them and lock them up in this prison?
Yeah. And so there was a lot of, fuck that. This can be. So I came across Abram Hoffer. Have you heard of him? No. Abrham Hoffar, MD, is a psychiatrist out of Canada.
and I always love to say his name because nobody knows who he is. Everyone's talking about Chris Palmer and everything. They all got this from Abram Hoffer.
He's a psychiatrist with balls of steel, who at like 70 something said to the Canadian Psychiatry Association, fuck you, here's my license, I don't want to be associated with any of you anymore because you're idiots.
I've cured 10,000 schizophrenics, cured 10000 bipolar. Here's all the cases and the data's in the labs. You can cure this. Stop saying you can't. It's metabolic disorder.
And he curated with Carl Pfeiffer, PhD Nobel Prize winner, Orthomolecular Psychiatry. We're now calling it Metabolic Psychiatric. Great. I'm glad somebody's picked up the baton, but it wasn't started by these new guys in the administration.
It's not new. it's been around a long time, But they've been killing it. Good luck finding Hoffer on YouTube anymore. So I have everything he's ever written, devoured everything, he ever said.
He's incredible, but he and Pfeiffer are no longer here. So they focused a lot on schizophrenia, bipolar, other mood disorders. Autism really wasn't a thing.
So William Walsh in the Welsch Institute, he's a PhD, He picked up the baton from Hoffer and he focused on a lot on autism. He still has data on schizophrenia.
So I was trained also at the walsch institute as well. They will never certify me. If they flat out told me they go because we're trying to legitimize this with psychiatrists.
Physicians because we want psychiatrists to accept it. So these trying to change medicine So now you have Palmer and RFK jr. Whether any of that's real I don't really know but supposedly the same things going on interesting so so but it all came from Hoffer and Pfeiffer and Orthomolecular psychiatry that was the term they came up with so it's being called metabolic which is obviously a more patient-friendly term now, but its the idea of All mental health is a brain disorder.
It is metabolic disorder that starts in the function and structure of the brain. And if you just correct it, all, you know, as goes the pain, and as go behavior.
This isn't, You can't talk somebody out of most of these things. and it's very hard, to talk to a patient if they're psychotic, or if there, And that can happen just from blood sugar swings.
We all know this, from thyroid storms, right? That has nothing to do with what your mommy and daddy did to you at three years old. Or your genes. I thought this was genetic, schizophrenia or autism.
Right. So autism led, so I went to chiropractic school. I was in this moment with my chiropractor working in his place and telling him about what's going on and my frustration.
And then he explained ultimately the nervous system in a way I didn't understand. and innate intelligence and divine intelligence, and, you know, really, my brain exploded, although I'd been seeing him for years.
I was one of those, went in when I had a problem, he fixed it, I left, came back, wasn't very compliant. But I just went, wait, so what you're saying is the schizophrenics need to be adjusted.
He goes, yes. That's what I'm doing." And he goes, where do I go? He goes Atlanta. Okay, and he stopped, he go Stephanie, listen, I've known you your whole life.
He's known me since I was five years old. And it goes I need you to understand if you make this decision, you will not be considered a real doctor. They will, you are a quack, because I'm a proud quak.
You will be a salmon going against the stream in the narrative. And you have to be okay with it because if you want to a surgeon, I want you to the best damn surgeon you'll ever be.
and you're going to know what chiropractic is and we need those kind of type of surgeons in there as well who understand innate intelligence and divine intelligence in order.
you know, a vitalist, not a mechanist. But if you're gonna do this, you gonna be up against it, and you gotta be okay with that. And I was like, that's a good point.
He was, like you not gonna get respect. That's important. So I had to, I'm like your right. I said, but it's not worth it. It's not worth it. So where do I go?
So six months later I moved to Atlanta and got my doctorate there. And so I went for schizophrenics, drug addicts, alcoholics. This is what I was focused on.
Nothing to do with this. I just wasn't even interested in sports anymore and biomechanics and like, I don't want to work with athletes. My father was in prison at the time.
My brother had been in and out, became a crack addict, another one an alcoholic. They'd been, in-and-out of my brother. I think he did a 15-year stint for crack, right?
It was huge in my family. And I was like, at that time I naive and I thought I could rescue them. Yeah. And while I was in school, my sister, despite me, I've been very proudly anti-vax.
And even though I begged my sisters, you know, there's a husband involved. Even though they delayed some of the vaccines, and my nephew is autistic. Oh, no.
So that phone call of I need your help switched my gears in schools, but I'm surrounded by people who understand autism and the pathways. Back in the day, it was the Defeat Autism Now, the Dan doctors, right?
Yeah, that was a big movement. So you had this beautiful cooperation and partnership of a variety of physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, occupational therapists, didn't matter, who were studying and going to these conferences trying to defeat autism now.
And we're not caught up in I don't know, I guess it's somewhat controversial what I might say, but anybody following for the terms neurodivergent is all bullshit.
It's a gaslighting term to try and make to normalize the damage of the vaccine schedule and what they've done to children. Autism is not a special distinction we should all be aspiring to for our children, if you've never been around a family that is dealing with classical severe autism, and this whole con of trying to, oh, Mozart was autistic, Oh, Elon's autistic.
No, Elan is a fucking robot. So, real autism when your kid is banging their head against a wall, smearing their feces on themselves and the family, biting grandma, attacking teachers.
This is what most families are really going through, causing divorce and bankruptcy and turmoil and chaos for, you know, can you imagine your child never looking at you in the eye, never letting you touch them, ever getting a hug or a kiss and having to take everything out of the bedroom, only a mattress on the floor, padded walls.
These are my patients. I started diving into that and saw it 30 years ago. There's not a whole lot of difference between autism, schizophrenia, bipolar.
It's a lot the same. Interesting. Yeah. And now I just saw Perlmutter the other day said it like, oh, we're finding out. We knew this 30 Why are we acting like we just found this out?
What would you say the root cause of all those that ties all of those in? I know the behaviors are similar. Brain damage. It's absolutely brain damage and it all does come down to the mitochondria and its inability to, it's this weird dynamic in the Everybody wants to talk about it's like a lack of energy problem.
It's a lock of control. Its a control energy problems. Sometimes there's excessive energy and it leaking inappropriately, you know, and its discharging wrong.
I don't think it is necessarily a luck of ATP is what people want to talked about. The lack coordination and cooperation. Lack of community. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. It's also, you know, when you think about how heavy metals work, they sometimes cause a traffic jam in something like making ATP in the mitochondria.
So it's almost like certain parts of the electron transport chain are working, like you said, and other parts have traffic jams. Yeah, I could see that when you said it, for sure.
And I want to go back to something else you've said earlier, because I don't know if all our listeners connected that. You said, when I heard the nervous system, it blew my mind.
It was a different view on the Nervous System than what I'd heard before. Then I thought I wanna go and adjust these patients who need it. I think everyone out there listening understands that adjusting equals nervous-system regulation.
All right, yeah. There's a great term that's going on around in the marketing of chiropractic right now, and it's like nervous system-based or brain- based chirapractors.
And we're all like, that that is what it is. So the only reason we touch your head or your spine is because it houses the central nervous So, unfortunately, I think chiropractors did it to themselves for marketing reasons and to make money, you know, like we're back doctors or bone doctors, or muscle doctors.
Nope. The only reason I care is because it's attached to the thing that's protecting the nervous system. And why do we have the skull and these bones?
because of the brain and the spinal cord. And the spina cord, to me, is just an extension of brain, right? So we have these nerves everywhere. So, we see that as this master communication system.
The textbooks teach that. This is this Master Communication System. Well, that may or may not be true. I see it as the ultimate antenna, you know, and it's what's picking up.
You know mitochondria are, in studies even show this, even the whole system, were anticipatory. We predict the future. we know what is coming, So they are this light, sound, magnetic sensing system, and that's everything.
So your mitochondria are picking up moments before everything is happening right now. And they know, okay, it's safe for this to respond. But if somebody were to come in this door, they're going to actually have a response because they are going know that.
And you might feel something and how attuned you are to picking up the signals will determine how you respond. But they aren't anticipatory in terms of everything.
So right before you eat, They even know the bugs in the gut, which I consider like twins I don't call them cousins I used to say the bacteria were cousins of mitochondria I think they're twins separated at first because they talk to each other so much they talked right through electricity they taught magnetic pulsing as well the chemicals are the last thing that's the way the body communicates right in physicians medicine is so trained in chemistry that is the slowest signal that like I don't know, AOL dial-up service versus the electrical.
It's electricity and light and sound transmission that's actually happening all the time. Very, very, fast. So anyway, through all that kind of communication is what's really going on.
And that is where everything gets really disrupted. That's where all of the chaos is happening. Yeah, and it's interesting. I never heard anyone make that connection between like Alzheimer's, bipolar, schizophrenic, autism.
It's brain damage. Yeah. And it said mitochondria and then how that looks, whether it is the micro to the macro, right? So whether you're looking at the the pathways, the ventricle channels, like the fluid doesn't flow, whether you want to say the networks are not working.
So I'm board certified in neurofeedback as well. I do a lot of QEEG assessments, right? So you look at all the brain waves and you can see the coherence.
You can tell from the back to the front, how are we functioning? What is each lobe doing? Coherence is a term we use for like, are there traffic jams or not?
Like, one, do we have highways, and is there a traffic jam or no? And that is, that's another, you know, functional way that we, but it's larger than what's happening right inside the mitochondria.
But it is all the same. What's happening small is happening large, and it can just be a little bit different pathophysiology of what you see at the top, but it's all the same down here.
And you always have metabolic dysregulation, blood sugar, insulin. You always some type of toxin. Is it a heavy metal? Is a parasite? There's always something.
aggravating, could be seven things, but there's always something. You're always then going to have some toxicity, some problem, and then nutrient deficiencies.
It's it's just a matter, is it zinc and B12 in this patient and do they need ten times the amount of, you know, schizophrenics need sometimes like an obscene amount, ten to a thousand times more B3 and zinc than other people.
Yeah, it's very interesting. B6 is a big one as well, but they seem to respond very well to niacin. Interesting. Yeah. So I have patients sometimes on these megadoses.
You work out what their chemistry is, and they will just need this cocktail at times. I will use, that's what orthomolecular psychiatry is looking at, like the nutrients have a medicinal property and those people need them though.
We take that away, I can stop the hallucinations or we take away and they will eventually come back because the chemistry has a different churn to it.
Interesting. Now that I haven't found anybody to know how to fix that But I don't think it's a big deal if you need an acetal B6 zinc and some niacin a few times a day and you're living an incredible life and You no longer have that diagnosis and I've done that Dozens and dozens of times with patients who are called schizophrenic and they are not today and there are high-performing functioning individuals That's amazing.
I'm just a dumbass chiropractor Well, so please tell me why the American Psychiatry Association can't figure this shit out and why they think ADHD is a cocaine or meth deficiency.
I still can figure it out. Why are you not testing all these kids for zinc? I mean, 96% of ADHD is a zinc deficiency, you morons. This is not rocket science.
Do they not know how dopamine is made? You know, it's like what I'm hearing you say as an underlying factor for a lot of these mental illnesses are nutrient deficiencies.
What the heck? And the brain only needs a few things. See, this is what people don't understand. We have a blood-brain barrier. You manage like 13 things in the You're good to go.
But if you don't have zinc and copper and DHA, and you have all the minerals that are required for the mitochondria to work, you're going to be SOL. It's not going go well for you.
Very, very, quickly. Do you think these people that are predisposed, yes, they have genetic predesposition that maybe turned on or off, do you they think they a greater need for some of these micronutrients than the general population possibly?
Yes, absolutely. Yeah, you can see it. So that's what's great though, I feel like you know your whole family kind of is this way, we can quickly start to change that and then we have epigenetic impact and a few generations down, your family won't be like that anymore.
Right? But we're not thinking that way. We're thinking as victims. You're being programmed into you have a disease, a disorder. So I will tell you, I won't say the name.
I was at Christmas. And so there's obviously a lot of family when you go home for Christmas, so a family member, young, said something, oh, the doctor said, it turns out the Y can't lose all this weight and probably has 100, 150 pounds of excess weight.
It's because I have PCOS and it's genetic. Yikes. Exactly. And me trying to not come unglued over on the couch doing like, what? Because again, you're falling for I'm a powerless victim and C, I don't have to, have no responsibility in the matter.
So therefore this is what it is. My mom has it. I got it from her and see, this why we're all 150 pounds overweight. As a medical doctor, I look at people right in the eyes and tell them that those labels are an ICD-10 or 11 code to bill a certain diagnosis for a business, so then you can be given a drug the rest of your life.
So that's really what PCOS, when I hear that label, is that it's a a code name to a bill of certain insurance. Yeah. And it also has usually concomitant anxiety, depression, and if we swing around too much, now suddenly we're bipolar.
That's so true. You know, right? Very, very common because there's lots of mood dysregulation that happens when you have completely chaotic blood sugar and no insulin sensitivity in control.
True. Because you're eating pop tarts for breakfast and red wine for dinner. Oh. Let's tell the truth. Yeah. You did it to yourself most of the time, and this is not what people want to hear.
I also want them to understand that when your blood sugar is dysregulated, how does that do the hormones? Oh, it's pure chaos. And let's go back to what actually converts and makes every hormone your mitochondria, right?
So, mitochondrion is, you know, primer. It's this incredible community. You know you got to think of them as this collective organism. They're bacteria.
they are not human. A lot of people don't understand that. We have a whole other set of DNA. So it was this wonderful cooperation moment that we said to each other.
Like, hey, they're like, life out here is hard. It's real harsh. But if we come inside of you and we get a whole bunch of work for you, can you keep us safe?
We're, like yeah, bro, that sounds fantastic. We can be lazy and you're going to make all our energy. You're gonna make our fluid for us. If you are going make us hydrated and it will borrow your genetics all the time.
Because we have the dumbest amount of DNA. animal, what we are, like the whole human genome project to find out how simple we're, we have less chromosomes than a fruit fly.
It doesn't make sense how complicated we, right? And so the fact that people are still trying to assign a human DNA as to a disease is so ridiculous. But again, they did it.
Braca, cut off your breasts. I mean, how many people fell for that scam or are still falling for the scam? Like, this is a real thing. I'm getting a little exhausted of the APOE4 conversation at this point.
That doesn't mean you're going to get Alzheimer's. Can everybody stop this? They're literally telling people that if you have, what, like all four alleles or whatever, that you like a 60, 70% chance of getting this.
Is this what you are hearing? Yes. Okay. So people say, well, maybe we have three and maybe four. And it means this, and it's like, I'm watching people just turn into The amount of stress they're putting themselves under while they are sipping their Starbucks and having their cookie.
I'm like, did they not explain this to you? No, they didn't. That's the problem. So they just, again, wanting to assign it's a thing over here and nothing to do with here.
It is everything in here in lifestyle choices, but these are the same people with their genius that will plug you into chemo, I think the most toxic thing, short of botulism.
Botox is the more toxic poison on earth, might be the second most, it's real bad, while they give you candy and donuts at the checkout when you leave, the thing that's fueling the cancer.
So sugar, in and of itself, glucose, we need a little bit. People don't understand. It's a teaspoon. Is it a tea spoon or a table spoon that is in the bloodstream?
I think it is only a teaspoon. I still forget this because it sounds ridiculous, that my whole body, my amount of glucose is a And you know, how many teaspoons were in somebody's morning coffee?
How many teaspoon were their breakfast? how much teaspoons in their beer? Right? And so we don't realize, like, that's all the glucose we have circulating.
It's not a lot. The body does an incredible job of regulating that. So what we do is poison it when we eat things that are like outrageous amounts that aren't found in nature.
It's an outrageous amount that doesn't exist anywhere in a natural state, makes blood sugar go super high. That is a crisis to the body. It is poison state.
We have got to get this out of here as fast as we can because if you can't regulate that, it can kill you. You know what I mean? You don't want a blood sugar 500, right?
So the body has to do all this excessive stuff to shuttle it somewhere to get it inside. Well, if it's poisoning the blood, you don' think it poisons the cell, it poison the mitochondria.
Mitochondria have to move glucose or fatty acids and ketones through it, and you start shoving too much fuel into a system that's… It's like putting gas in a car.
And there comes a point you're supposed to stop holding the handle and it is flooding over. That's what people are doing. gasoline's just, and so, you know, if you light a fire at a gas station, it would kill everybody.
That's what's kind of happening inside the cells. There's too much gas, smoke is burning, we've got soot everywhere, there's to much, what do you call it, reactive oxygen species.
It's smoke, garbage, crap. You didn't flush the toilet for a month. Isn't that gross? That what you're doing with your Krispy Kremes. So that's what's happening with the mitochondria.
That's, what breaking everything. It's sludge and poison and sewage that backing up and nothing's working right. And then people are doing this fasting and not eating all day.
And when they eat, they're eating things like that, I feel like, to break their fast, possibly. I don't know if everyone knows that things don' have to taste sugary for them to turn to sugar in the body.
Yes, there is that. Trying to explain to people that rice and bread and pasta, you know, – I was a vegetarian for a very long time. –I was, too. For three and a half years.
You probably beat me. 12. Twelve vegan. What? Yeah, 14 vegetarians are two just regular and 12 vegan, right? So it's just you're a carbitarian, basically, I was fat, had PCOS.
I cannot imagine. It was, it was I didn't, thought that feeling was normal. So I would never say I wasn't depressed until I started eating meat. Three days after it, was like, you know, the Wizard of Oz, how it is black and white, then he goes second color.
It was probably how people feel on acid or mushrooms. I don't like that stuff. But you know, it was like, what is happening? I had one bite of a grasswood burger and I dreamed about it for like two weeks.
And I dreamt about burgers and it's like I think maybe I need some zinc and vitamin D. Yeah. Like, I dunno. So yeah, It's the same experience like Pleasantville.
It is unbelievable. Yes. Haven't looked back. That was 20 years. total hormonal shutdown. It was in menopause at like 30 something. They go, this is where you're at and we need to replace everything.
Six months and you are infertile. My sister offered to have, I was married and she offered have babies for me. She's like, listen, if you want to, you got to do it real quick because I'm getting older.
I was like, oh my God, you're the best. And then six months later I got, I, was eating meat and I get pregnant. So it was one of those, my husband was, like I thought she couldn't get pregnancy.
I felt so too. Surprise. Yeah. Like, so it's a very rough pregnancy because I. Was so depleted. It was six. Months only of eating me after 14 years of vegetarian.
And they're like, well, if anything's going to reset you here, I mean, basically from no hormones to you got to make a lot. And boy, my ovaries kicked in and did some magic and my son is 20 years old.
Oh my gosh. I think I've seen pictures. Very cute kid. Yeah. So how, what percentage of mental health patients are vegan and vegetarian? Do you think it's causing a problem?
It's, okay, so this is a great point. I will never, I said probably started about eight years ago, seven, eight, years, ago I had to make this office policy.
We will not work with vegetarians and vegans anymore. If you are not willing to change your diet, because what I started seeing after about a couple years of working with them, again, in the office doing neurofeedback, their brains cannot hold the charge.
No matter what we're end up doing, it doesn't last. So no feedback is permanent. Yeah. And I would see, I could stop the seizures. I can stop insomnia.
You know, stop depression, the suicidal ideation. We can get the stable. But if we stop coming in twice a week, and we start, It all comes back really fast.
No other patient population was that happening. This is permenant. Restabilize you. Everything's… Peace out. Call me if you, you know, see I don't, I'm not trying to see you forever.
Peace out. Have a great life. Send me a card, You know. These, I could never, and I finally started feeling guilty, plus then they're on like an obscene amount of supplements.
I mean, the amount I have to sell you every month, nobody should have spend this much money. You cannot escape supplementation because you do not get it from the diet, right?
That in and of itself should tell you. Flo, do you know the number one, most successful therapy in all of American psychiatry? Do you what it is? I've no idea.
Electric shock, ECT. I would not have guessed that. It is the most statistically successful therapy out of anything they've done. And I'm actually a fan of it.
You are. I am. Because when it's done right, it is right because you are electrical. So why wouldn't you? And they are low voltage and putting in electricity into the system in the right way actually increases charge.
It's a microcurrent. Right. I do transcranial direct stim. You cannot hold voltage in a charge if we don't have the structure and the renewal process and redox systems working.
Vegan brains have no structure whatsoever. Jello mush whatever right and you're seeing an objective things like this. Oh, yeah, you can see the brain maps everything It's a mess so and they have they can't then create the voltage that's required because how can you you know flow electrons through the system or flow information that waves from front to back it's all sorts of knocks but to the to The frontal lobe, you know, You can do that when the ventricles are damaged and think it this is the problem So yeah, I will not work with them.
They have to convert. We are extremely animal-based. I have never seen somebody like, let's say, even with a cholesterol, every person with 135 cholesterol severe depression.
And I've never see a depressed patient that doesn't have a chelesterol under 150, unless they were on a drug making them have depression, right? They all have low cholesterol.
So I like cholesterol over 220. Me too. Does growth hormone really collapse at 30? Is it supposed to? There's premature ovarian failure, too. Right, which that's the new term for the menopause thing, right?
Yes. That's great. Yes, so I don't even buy that. I'm 53, I have a cycle every month. Stop. But again, I do peptides in bioregulators. Are you spearing people out in the wild?
Was that what's happening? My people did. I'm from India and Africa, so I don't know. Maybe the tribal is there. You said something here, peptide. And I think that's what everyone who knows Dr.
Stephanie Roebke, that how I got to know you is through the peptidine revolution. So wild. I couldn't tell you anything about peptides when that industry hit.
I was like, what is this peptide? Magical tomfoolery. So I have become interested in it because a lot of my patients are coming out with this thing called microdosing.
You have to know what they are now because that's the reality. Patients are come in and they're getting educated. It's really fascinating that, so I learned from physicians.
though, right? So I started training about 14 years ago in peptides, I would say. I studied for a while. It was very hesitant. Took me about three years to get comfortable, three, four years, to bring them to my patients because it wasn't as well-known.
But these were… I trusted these physicians. I was being trained by a lot of them, Dan Stickler, Jim LaValle. He's a PhD pharmacologist. for kind of like the first whatever, right?
So I was using all of Kent Holthorst's stuff for the several years in practice. I used just integrative peptides. So, I've been using peptide with patients for a little over 10 years.
But these physicians, they didn't know about them before. Again, in the world of Western medicine with physicians things move like molasses. Oh, it's you guys are really slow at doctors.
Like, like, I mean, getting that cult to change its course, chiropractors are a little faster. And I had six brick and mortars and I'm still here doing it 30 years later.
So I might know how to fix the problem. Right. What I've learned is my job is to teach other people, though, to make sure you don't need me again. If you know, how do this?
I should kind of I would love to become obsolete. It'd be so fantastic if none of you need us. Wouldn't you like the whole Chinese system where they just pay us?
We're on constant retainer to keep everybody healthy. I was already thinking that before you said it. Oh, we should be compensated for fixing people. Right, for just maintaining.
Come to my tribe. Nobody's sick. Thanks for the extra million. Yeah. Not, I poisoned them to death, so now I get a million dollar bonus for vaccines. You're going to be on this medicine forever, and I'm going write you scripts.
Thank you for my Mercedes. Like, this is what they do. We're gonna pay you for writing scripts. Like I don't get paid to do that. I get payed only when the problem is solved and they send their family to come in.
So peptides, so I started using them when I'm one of the few-ish, I guess, because my population is a lot of kids. And so, are peptide safe? What are peptides?
They're little Lego pieces, amino acids, they're baby proteins, it's all they are. The best peptid factory in the world, you know where it is? It's in between your ears.
Yes. It is the greatest peptide factory that we all are walking around with one, right? We all have this, the brain. Greatest peptides factory for you ever.
But like I just said, how many brains are functioning really well? How many have toxins? how Many have nutrient deficiencies? So if I break half the machinery in the factory, I don't bring a janitor in there and I turn off your lights.
How Many peptids are we going to make in it in their right amounts of proportion at the right time? Probably not, right? So I think where we're at in people, you know, there is some peptide deficiency problems, and so what we are trying to do is give them back to the system.
It's like if somebody hasn't been sleeping, they've been stressed out, eating a crappy diet, They're not making, in their stomach, body protection compound the same way anymore.
They are not MAKING VIP. You know, their immune system is under attack, they are NOT MAKEING the thymus hormones. Peptides anymore, and some of them are hormones, so we replace them.
I can give you thimus and alpha 1, I CAN GIVE you Thymogen, i can GIve this to you. And it starts, it's the signal your body is making. by itself, we're replacing to help you.
That's why we use them to come and jumpstart the system for a short period of time. They work, they have nothing to do with symptom suppression. There are nothing like a medicine, there are not like drug, that is not what they do.
And they're extremely pleiotropic, meaning they multiple things at once, because again, it's about a signal. It's like I'm suddenly giving the body and the mitochondria back, all the cell phones, opening the highways.
Like, oh, you can see the road now. Yeah, now can you hear me? Now we can figure out what to do. So that's why you can use them extremely short-term. The system resolves and fixes itself and starts performing again.
I already know the answer, but for the people out there listening, these little tiny proteins, I like that you called them. Yeah, they're baby proteins.
Those are baby protein. That's cute. It's exactly what they are. Do they talk to the body and code for anything in the bodies? Can they change our genes?
Yes. So they all do it, anything you do. So us right now, we are changing our genetic code right know. It's epigenetics. Every thought I have is changing how my code works, how I read my DNA.
If I flood myself with thoughts about, I'm fat, miserable, going to get cancer, oh my God, Alzheimer's runs on my family, if that's what I sit around and say, I turn on the genes that do it.
This is a proven fact. That's not woo-woo. There's actually people who care about studies. We have published it, okay. So that's a real thing. You took a B vitamin this morning.
changes you kind of forever. We don't really know what it's doing to the genes. Now, breaking it down, you have peptides, which are these little baby proteins, and you another group called bioregulator peptide.
They're like super baby, tiny babies. So they're, like, three little amino acids. And they come from organ systems and the whole Russian literature. By the way, the bio-peptide literature is almost 70 years old.
On humans, we have, for people who want to sit here and say there's no research, no studies, they care about that. I guess you don't know about Russia because they've been ahead of the game on this for a very long time.
Most of us have learned most of our stuff from the Russians, okay? So they were, you know, We had an iron curtain or whatever for along time and there was no sharing of information.
You know scientists don' share. Countries don't share. It's like they're, again, all fighting. Imagine if we behave more like mitochondria and there's cooperation, community, and actual communication, then we would have so many more problems solved.
But that's not how it is. We're going to take you down, we're the best, blah, so the research came from the Russian government going their scientists, no pharma involved, saying, Our soldiers are getting damaged from the nuclear reactors, our pilots are damage from radiation, or astronauts, haha, fake, whatever that is, are damaged by radiation from that sub-flight space that they're doing.
So, fix it. Because we're at war and we want to kill the Americans and whoever else we wanna do, so you make our people not get sick, and if you can turn them into super soldiers, even better.
So that's where the peptide research came from. So they use the long jet, the geriatric group. They're like, well, if we can fix the 80-year-old, then, you know, so that what they started studying, all the bioregulators.
so they're so tiny that they slip through the gut. You can use them as capsules. you don't have to inject. they go right to the bloodstream. The go through this cell membrane.
Peptides sit on the membrane, Bioregulators go inside and they go to the DNA. They go the nuclear membrane and go right there. That's why they're tissue specific.
So if you've had heart damage or a pancreas damage, or kidney damage you take a kidney bioreglator and it goes to that kidney and tells that DNA, I need you to unlock and remake this tissue.
So I take ovary bioregulators, thyroid biiregulator, uh-huh. It's clearly working. All of them, it's just anything you want, thymus, you know, name it.
And you're taking capsules? Yep. Wow. Yep, for the first five or six years in my practice, with all my patients, I only use capsuls and sprays, not a single injection.
Because I have a lot of kids, autism and most people, just hard to deal with. You'll hear a lots of practitioners say, hmm, You can't take peptides orally.
because they get broken down by the stomach acid, and they're too big to absorb. Have you heard people say that? Yes, they are right about many of them.
So we don't have oral delivery systems on everything, but like BPC, for instance, your stomach makes it. We've had that orally available for a very long time.
And again, everything in the peptide space is about the delivery system. Now we have Oral somaglutide, oral terzapatide. I mean, they know there's oral HGH on cursors.
Everything's going to be about how can we make it oral, spray, nasal. So many of them work that way. And especially the ones for the brain health, the gut in the bring that I've used, totally nasal and oral work very, very effectively.
It's a small group. You work with about 10 peptides that are really foundational. When we train clinicians at Peptide University, we want them to start with five.
Stop trying to learn everything. It's too much. Let's look at what your practice is doing. then these are the five, these is the foundation. Get used to this.
Work with patients with that before you start bringing in more advanced molecules. People want to jump to these, oh, what about LO37, FOXO4? I'm like, those are not baby molecules, do not start there.
And if you can't handle these beginner ones and knowing what to do with your patient population and seeing how to dose properly and getting coaching and mentored on this, You have no right to jump to some of the more advanced.
It's like any practice, you don't just give a scalpel to somebody the first year they're in a surgical residency, they have to earn it. Peptides are no different.
They are potent, powerful, even though they are endogenous. I mean, if you want to go on a killing rampage, go get a bunch of insulin, start full injecting.
You could kill somebody with insulin which is a peptide. They are potent, they are safe, but anything in the wrong time, in their wrong dose is dangerous.
It's communication to the body, right? So that's really interesting. I know a lot of people also want to know your favorites out there. Yeah. Well, so the gut is a big problem with people, Right?
I like the regeneration ones. They're systemic, But I always have to deal with a gut issue. So if you have a leaky gut, a damaged and flamed gut you will eventually have leak damage brain.
Okay, so you cannot fix, they have to handle both. So even if the brain injury was from a vaccine or a concussion, a trauma, it doesn't matter, you're gonna end up then with some gut problems.
It happens both ways. Yes. BBC 157, KPV is one of my, this is probably the one you are gonna love in your practice if you've been bringing it in because that's mass cell stability and histamine modulation.
So KPV is a small three-amino fragment of everything in the MSH pathway. So I love all the M. S. H. pathways. The monocytes stimulating hormones. Melanotin-1, melanotan-2, KP-V, PT-141.
These are an incredible group that sunlight, you know, sunlight makes you sexy and horny for a reason. Okay, so I like a lot of skin. Don't be afraid of the sun.
Don't be afraid of the sun or sex. Orgasms in the Sun, it makes everything better. It makes you live longer, makes your prettier, and makes it DNA. So I like those.
Out of those, KPV is the most universal, most profound one. KPB, I think, is highly underrated. I almost think that should become the new gateway over BPC-157.
But BBC does so much for the system. Its such a powerful compound that the stomach makes. When the scientists looked at it, this thing we make in our stomach and go, Damn, it does so much.
This is the brilliant name they came up with, body protection compound. Who doesn't want more of that? And I had my son on it all through high school.
I have all the team, they play sports because it protects you. You actually have less injuries when you're supplementing BPC 157. Yeah. And you don't have as many accidents, you'll fall.
But then if you do, your recovery, won't get a concussion, You recover faster. So he's playing sports and he is driving a car. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, BPC 157, it was on Bpc, GHK, KPV, and lorazotide every day.
That's what i had my son on, right? So, lorozotides, not a peptide, small molecule, better than Bbc for leaky gut. Wow. Lorazetide was being studied for celiac disease and it didn't pass those trials.
I'm not sure why. I guess probably because it really can't stop celiac per se, but it does more like, so like if I am going to travel to Europe and I might accidentally eat some gluten, I haven't eaten gluten in 20 some years.
But you know, whatever, things happen. If I have lorazetide, you're good to go. So I do, that's a very important way of practice because autistic patients, schizophrenics, they can tolerate gluten.
We have a lot of celia and Crohn's and all sort of colitis. People have no idea how big deal it is. Yeah, it's a huge deal. And outside of the glyphosate, like I'm not one of those people that thinks it only glyphasate and it not the gluten and gliadin.
It is that too. We've hybridized the wheat. None of it as what it used to be. So lorazetide is really powerful for that. So BBC KPV though, I think this new mast cell instability, and know that's like your shtick and I need to learn more about it because I've never seen this level of insanity.
I was dealing with high histamine because of undermethylation, right? It has an inverse relationship lab-wise, so it's a marker I've tracked forever, whole blood histamines, along with homocysteine and some other things.
Look at the SAM-SAL ratio, I'm looking at that for undermethylation and what it does for mental health. You have to balance methylation for a mental disorders.
But now this mass cell instability is off the charts, what's going on. So KPV helps a lot with that. Then I love, Urolithin A is not a peptide, but it's a molecule that does a really gentle cleanup.
So we have to do cleanup and get the broken damaged cells and mitochondria cleaned up. Then MOTC in a really low dose, like 250 to 350 micrograms, which is not how people use it or teach it, that's used just to communicate.
The mitochondria make this, and it's to communication. It leaves the cell, it goes in the blood. Everybody likes to use the higher dose that the five milligrams for fat loss, right?
And it's an exercise mimetic. So if you stress the mitochondria out, they make a lot of MOTC. Well, you can fake it by just injecting it, and I can pretend I worked out.
And you actually get a lotta benefits from it. You can lose aotta weight. The studies will have it like 5 to 10 milligrams three times a week. It gets expensive, but people are missing the beauty of MOTC.
It's a communication signal. So when you do low dose, it's bringing communication back. I like to bring a little urolithin A, a lot MotC to get things working.
My favorite compound right now is SS31. Oh, I don't know this one. Tell me. SS31 does something nobody, nothing else does. And I have seen mind-blowing things with patients in it.
It's only been around a few years. Um, it is the only one we have that goes inside the mitochondria to fix the inner mitochondrial membrane, and the intermembrane is where all the power is.
When that structure gets messed up, we've got a problem. So it binds the cardiolipin, which is that lipid that's a part of it, So I flood the system with phosphatidylcholine, DHA, and minerals, like a kenton, a beam, or something like that, not just sodium.
People think minerals and they think sodium, but no, we need all, 80 of them. SS31, anyway, comes in there and fixes the structure. It's the most important thing we do.
And you do it in short rounds, 30 to 60 day cycles. I even do it only 10-day cycles with people, and I'll do half a milligram to one or two milligrams.
And the response in children and autism, I've had taste and smell come back in these posts. I was not doing it for that. One shot in 20 minutes, people are like, I can smell, I could smell.
One milligram. Because it goes in and does something, it fixes the structure. And the seed oils and the microplastics are destroying our structure and lack of DHA in the diet.
I don't really have as much DHE. Anyway, so those are big ones. Oh, okay, brain. C-Link, C Max, because you can use nasal sprays. What I don't like that everybody's, so C Link is your anti-anxiety.
C max is you're calm, c max as your energy. I'm sorry. So C, So c Max is going to be energize you basically it's depression. Oh, okay. Yeah. And C link is gonna be calm you down.
But I use C-Link a lot with ADHD. First, C Link is milder than, and I don't, you know, but typically we probably are going to convert that person to C Max or even Atamax, And Atmax is 10 times as strong as C max.
So if I'm titrating somebody off Adderall or Ritalin, we are eventually going use Atimax because that's how I can do the transition of the dosing. They still are used to that hit.
And so these are great nasal sprays going to the capillaries up there. It's the most vascular areas right there, right? So it goes right into the bloodstream and gets to bring really, really fast.
But what I hate what people do with those is they substitute it and ignore the nutrient problem. I'm like, this is a temporary thing that I am helping change your neurotransmitters, increase BDNF.
We are increasing BdNf with all these. we will create neuroplastic changes. But your brain can only do so much if it doesn't have the structure, if doesn' have DHA, doesn have lipids, it does have minerals, the zinc and the B vitamins.
These things she's talking about are intermediary steps in a cascade to make certain things. So if you don't these cofactors and enzymes, you have a traffic jam.
You can fix things with these peptides, but if don' t have these steps. I don't think peptides should be being used as symptom management, but they can be.
I use C-Link, Cmax as a symptom-management to help people calm them down. Um, I love oxytocin. How do you feel? I'm using a ton of oxy-tocine. Really?
Well, because you have a few populations that are historically proven have considerably lower oxymocytosis than normal. Autism? Schizophrenia. Wow. Adopted children and their families.
So I always bring them in. Autism and schizophrenia, I have them on oxytocin and I had the mother on it as well, because I need to bring bonding back into the picture, right?
And so, and usually she's not had any, if her child doesn't kiss her and touch her, you know what I mean? So she is missing that and the mothers are often isolated islands and husbands aren't touching as much or they've left.
So, they're untouched, unloved, sad, feel guilty. So oxytocin calms the system down, relieves pain, helps with sleep, but also brings that eye contact back and increases empathy.
If I can start getting eye-contact, it just feeds into itself and it increases oxytoxin. It's one of the most important I do for the kind of patients I see.
And it does help us sleep a little bit, it's mild. I like GECIP a lot, Delta Sleep Inducing Cup Tide, very brain anti-inflammatory. It only works on 50% of the people though, unfortunately.
But when it works, It works really, really well. There's a bunch more I could probably, but those are probably the big ones. And the bioregulators are a little different.
Let's talk if you guys are experimenting. I have a bi oregulator course and I give people free cheat sheets on this. Okay. They only need like 10, they're better impulses to do like ten days a month for several months because they are slow moving.
Because again, there on the DNA to change the structure. And they take an organ specific thing, right? They are going to change the telomeres, they are gonna change that the epigenetic methylation, we've tested that.
But that takes like one year for telomerase and two years for the Epigenetics to show up, but it does happen. That makes sense. Um, But if you're doing one like for, um, the thyroid, if they're using anything with the hormones, get your hormones checked.
You know, you need that monitored, no different if, so if your hypothyroid and you are on especially replacement, you might come off of these things. Many people come of and you can't just stay on the same dosing because that can cause a problem.
So you need your labs checked for your physician, usually every three months or something like that. But we've had many people, come-off thyroid meds for the thyroid.
And the eyes, the retina one, that I've been mind blown. People in one cycle can say, I don't need my readers. Okay, wait, because I hate that. I can't see anymore, I'm close, and I am blind.
And I need to go back and watch all this and educate myself. So I think I'll buy your course, actually, so I know what to do for myself, because it's very, very intriguing and sort of a newbie that's scratching the surface.
But I have seen in my practice the patients that come to me on a GLP, just that it is a microdose or anything. It's extraordinary. I can't believe it.
All gut disorders are better, all brain disorders were better. For addictions, it knocks it off the park. for people. So it's like amazing. I am so for the microdosing, I see the problems with the whopping doses that they get up to people, so yeah.
Where can people if they want to get more of your education, like me, i'm totally taking your course at this point, really am. And I've had like about a hundred physicians take my course and And it's not like a CE, people are like, no, there's no CEUs, pumpkin.
I just, I make my courses for the average person. But I have so many PhDs and MDs, you know, chiropractors take all my course. So I, but a 75 year old lady, grandma, they have a lot of those.
They understand too, so I do it in such a way like here's all your science and let me get down here for you. This is all you got to do. Like, I'm really into stop overthinking.
Here's enough information. I want you to make a… Because a confused mind can do nothing. Right. And want to have enough to feel safe and confident in these decisions.
Why I've done so many courses is because people will go, like, you're a really good doctor. Okay. So I think we're going to send it to Jessica, Pete Ross, somebody.
Like, I know you know what you're doing. I've seen you speak on stage. She's not a dumb one. You're not lazy. Don't you think a lot of physicians are just lazy?
Yeah, they do the CEUs just to get a check on the board and get their license cleared. that they're not really learning things. And that the EU is paid for by a pharma company.
You gotta go to different ones that teach different things, right? And so whenever anybody's doing anything in the functional space, I have to explain this to patients, like, it's money, that's hard for them to do.
That's HARD for you to to. you have break outside of the dogma of The Cult. Go to the different places, pay different money. Spend time at night on the weekends to learn how to it, because you didn't learn any of that shit in medical school.
None of it. I didn't learn some of in school. And I still do nights and weekends, still, at 50 years old. We're still on the, I'm at another conference in Vegas.
Vegas, but I gotta go. Because that's where the stuff is. That's what you can learn from other docs. Well, what's working over there? Well that better than this.
What about this? What that? And then you go down and you got to their practices and do the things. You get it done on yourself. Cause we've been to the same place.
Anyway, it's a hard thing to get there and a lot of people don't do that, right? So they're coming to all these doctors asking them what to do and they don t know what Oh, no, you're not doing enough.
Do more, Matzi. And then they're having massive histamine responses. They're swelling up, and they are not sleeping, And they think, oh, it's just herx.
You're just detoxing. Uh, no, that's not how this works. It's because, you know, they stack them on 15 things in week one because of whatever. So anyway, I make my courses like that so grandma can understand it and you can.
And then you. Am I just experimenting on myself or do I take a further course with, a certification place? You know what I mean? But a lot of people, lot physicians, if they went to like PEP university where we teach and certify, They're overwhelmed.
They go, I didn't know what they were talking about. I'm like, my course kind of will help you like break it down because you had no idea what any of this was.
And we just started talking it. Yeah. It's a different language. it is a difference language, it'd be no different than if I went into like a surgical rotation.
Or I wouldn't what you're talking because I don't do heart transplants. So it's language that makes no sense to me and that's stupid. Just don' know you talking.
Right. You got to learn a little bit first. Absolutely. Where is the course? DrRumka.com. Very easy. I'm the only one in the entire world. Yeah, it's amazing, actually.
What I love most about the way I can tell you practice is that you go after a root cause approach from a multidisciplinary perspective. So you're treating the emotional, the spiritual, and the physical, which I think is quickest way to heal someone or to help the body heal So I love that you're doing that.
I could hear it from the peptide side, from trauma bonding side of things, and from nervous system regulation, also from a nutrient depletion standpoint.
And I know you also treat mold and parasites and lime and all the things that I get into. You have to. It's where it's coming from. you know, the suicidal ideation, they think the line I say the most at the right time that hits the best, and it has to, you have to wait for it, is you're not crazy.
You know? And that is the moment at times it just unlocks everything in that person and there's a flood of emotions and they understand. I'm not giving you a script.
You're not fucking broken and you're fucking crazy. We're a little out of balance. Whether it's mold or lime, parasite, something's a little off. And we're just going to help power the system to get this shit gone so you can go back to being your incredible, vibrant, happy self and live an amazing life.
Because what bothers me in this situation is you are not out there giving, you have some genius that the world needs. I need you to go fucking do it, right?
Because I needed as many good people doing as good things as possible. And because I got enough bad out there, I can't fix that. So what about, let's get you back.
That could be as simple as you're just, you know, an incredible homemaker, three kids, and you are on the beach reading a book because a happy, grounded, peaceful person does a whole lot more for the universe than a miserable, hateful person who is out grinding away.
you know, thinking that's important to make money or whatever. So I just want people to be their best selves and open the genius that they have. You can't do that riddled with mold or lime or deficient in hormones or heavy metal toxicity.
That's all I'm trying to do. What you do with that after that, now… Go be your greatest self. That's right. Amen to that. I love that so much. So if you guys are out there and you have you or your loved one is suffering from mental health condition, and Dr.
Rimke here is here to tell you that that doesn't have to be a life sentence. You could actually reverse many things that we're told in conventional medicine are irreversible and permanent in your life, which is a beautiful thing.
It should empower you, not scare you. If people want more of you They want, you know, your social media. They're like, this girl is fire. That's what I'm making.
This girl's fire… Not anymore. I am really banned on social medias. It's rough. Wait, what are you banned for? Oh, peptides. See, I have five flags in the last month.
On a 361 day Instagram live ban, a six month Facebook ban and a year long meta ads ban. For peptide? They are very clear. Eli Lilly themselves came and reported me and shut me down.
So if I talk, if say trisapatite, semaglutide, I can't say the words because then they say I'm selling drugs without, you know, a drug dealer. I just gave clofo.
Let's talk about what clopho is. Do you, know I like to just say here's what your body does. You know your kidneys make this hormone called clopho, do you what it is?
No, they don't. three Clotho posts in one week shut us down. So my whole team had to go and shut things down, they banned me on an archived post, the last strike was stuff that was hidden, and it was about Clofo.
We made a decision, I can't talk peptides on social media anymore really. So we have to use kind of code to get you to my course or get to a do a private monthly membership now.
So that's where I really, unfortunately people, why do we monetize so much? Well, one, I have a mortgage too. Okay. I deserve to eat steak and pay my bills.
Yeah. But the membership, now is a, we create a paywall to make it a little people who really should be there. And I can say anything I want. That's right.
You know, I own my website and I owned my platform best I can. And you know what I mean? This is where we're in the world we are in. But then I could say what i want.
I tell you unhinged the answer that you are looking for. What do I think about blah blah. Well, I can't say that over here, but I will tell you over there.
So that's my membership. I have a monthly membership as well, because it's a little bit harder to get into me. We are not currently taking patients. Who knows by the time when this airs where we're at, I've been doing this almost 30 years, and I don't find as much joy in the one-on-one.
I would rather do the group model, I'm really trying hard, been working for about six months, trying to figure out the right group process format for parents with children with ADHD, anxiety and autism.
To show them the lab testing, to show the protocols of my protocols, my labs, exactly what I have done. And we're working on it. We're getting close to take you through the therapies.
I use sound therapy, light therapy. Neurofeedback, we can do this all remotely. So how can I help you to make it really affordable? Because I am so sick of the solution.
No child needs Adderall, no child need Ritalin. And I'm here to protect the ones that can't talk and protect themselves. Didn't I tell you guys fire? Fire, fire, fire.
So Dr. Rempka, thank you so much for being here. You are just a breath of fresh air. I think people are going to be like mind blown from this episode. I was a couple of times and I'm interviewing, so that's going be amazing.
What would you like to leave the audience with before we go? And I do want to also say check out her book Received Too, which is a completely different topic than we talked about today.
But I love that book and I'm very proud of it. So it's, you get to see every age of me. You get see Stephanie, and you see Steph. Not really Dr. Rimka, but my friends were like, You gotta put the doctor on.
I didn't initially. If you've been an overworked, over-hustling woman and have really struggled to let someone hold you and struggle to receive and kind of forgot that you are the goddess and the actual gift, then you aren't supposed to be doing as much as you think you then this is the book you should read.
I think overall I just wouldn't want to leave people with, but I always want leave them with and that's love. You know, that I love you and I want you to love yourself and you are divine being created in perfection.
There's nothing fucking wrong with you. Go have more fun. Thank you so much. If this episode spoke to you, subscribe and share it with someone who can't find answers to what ails them.
