Welcome back to another episode of Reversing Chronic Gut Conditions. I’m your host in Sinclair Kennally, and today I am joined by the phenomenal author, Dr. Jack Wolfson. Not only is he a board certified cardiologist who uses nutrition, lifestyle and supplements to prevent and treat heart disease. He’s actually something of a phenomenon. If you’re not familiar with his name. He’s quite the luminary in the spirit of spearheading the charge on really looking at the current issues today. What has actually gone wrong with our hearts and what is going on with heart issues that may be different today than it was even a few years ago. Really excited to have him on. I really wanted to give him a chance to talk to you about the heart gut connection today and unpack some of these hidden factors together. Welcome, Jack.
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Sinclair. It’s an absolute pleasure to be on. Thank you so much for having me on the summit. I guess I got to tell you something, and I don’t mean to be childish about this and certainly not sexist about this, but I am definitely partial to redheads. My mom is a redhead. My father apparently was very attracted a redhead. Bruce Springsteen actually has a wonderful song about it’s called Redheaded Women. It’s hilarious. Certainly on a more serious note, it’s a pleasure to be on cardiovascular disease, number one killer worldwide. We got to get the truth out there, because clearly mainstream medicine doesn’t have the answers. But the good news is, I think practitioners like you and I do. I’m happy to share.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Awesome. Let’s unpack some of the biggest factors then and the connection between gut health and the impact it has on the cardiovascular system. What are those?
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
I’m sorry you broke up there for a second.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Oh, I was saying the connection between gut health and the impact it has on the cardiovascular system. Talk us through that. Let’s unpack it.
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Yes. When I first became a holistic practitioner, it was told to me by the woman who converted me into a holistic practitioner. That’s my wife. She’s a D.C. doctor of chiropractic or DC doctor, of course. She told me early on, it’s about the gut. It’s about the gut, it’s about the gut. I was like, “That’s crazy,” because as a cardiologist, we’re just trained in that silo of of cardiovascular disease, Somebody has got hypertension, someone’s got abnormal cholesterol, someone’s got coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, whatever these medical labels are. Then once you start to dove into it, you see how the gut from the mouth to the rear is. That portal into the body. When you interfere or disrupt that portal, now things happen to the rest of the body from that area. It truly does start in that gut area. The whole concept of leaky gut was new to me at that time, and she mentioned leaky gut and I said, What did you come up with that bogus natural diagnosis? She said go read about it, smart guy. She’s like, you went through ten years of training.
You never heard about leaky gut. I said, no. I went to go look in the medical literature, and there wasn’t a lot in the medical literature, but the concept made sense. But over the last 10 to 15 years, intestinal hyperpermeability or leaky gut has exploded on the medical literature. The ability to test for it is there and therefore test people in the beginning. Test people as you move along and as that gut starts to heal, you find that cardiovascular issues start to get better. Ultimately, I will take credit for a term that or a phrase that, yeah. I think is catchy. Other people may not be think so. But again, leaky gut leads to leaky hearts. When your heart leaks, that’s how you develop atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, palpitations, people get strokes and heart attacks because that same lining of the guts that leaks, which is called the epithelial barrier, is on the inside of blood vessels and the heart itself, and it’s called the endothelial barrier. The correlation between dysfunction of guts and dysfunction of heart is very clear.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah, I totally agree. Let’s unpack that a little further. How specifically does Leaky Gut actually lead to Leaky Heart? Getting that bombardment of glyphosate every day, even there in organic foods maybe at lower levels, certainly in our air and water, they’re like, what, 75% of our air samples in the United States are contaminated with glyphosate. That’s insane. Clearly, like we’re getting exposed. We understand how leaky gut is happening, but how does that actually translate to leaky heart?
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Yeah. As the intestines are being bombarded in so many different levels, it’s destroying the gut microbiome. You destroy the gut microbiome now you interfere with the epithelial permeability and how things get into the body that don’t belong. Well, now they’re in the bloodstream and the immune system is activated and said, what is this poison? It looks at everything as the foreign invader that it is. Now you start producing immune system activation and you’ve got immunoglobulins that are being produced, you’ve got excess of monocytes, eosinophilia. You get all these what really should have been infection fighting cells, they’re now activated from just the toxins getting into the body. Once all that starts to circulate around this immune system activation, you get inflammation, oxidative stress. Those are happening with all the particles and that all leads to a dysfunctional arterial lining. There’s what’s called the endothelium, and that is a one self-check barrier that lines every single blood vessel and the heart muscle itself. Now when you have dysfunction of that lining and things get into the inside of the blood vessel that don’t belong, that’s where you start to have things that develop, such as coronary artery disease.
That process, what happens is that this inflammation inside of the blood vessels drives more recruitment of these immune cells. The immune cells that are there, they recruit more immune cells and they start to engulf different particles that are for example, oxidized LDL. You have oxidized LDL cells. Those LDL particles are damaged and LDL are good and are beneficial. They all have a purpose. But now the LDL is are getting inside of these infection fighting cells and eventually those start those becoming necrotic, apoptotic, they die. Calcium is left in it’s way. You’ve got calcified coronary artery disease. Then when the endothelium is dysfunctional, you’re not making nitric oxide. Therefore, the blood vessels don’t dilate and therefore they’re more prone to disease. You get a lot of what’s called hyper coagulate ability, and therefore that damages the endothelium. It’s really just this whole kind of toxic soup that happens on the inside of a blood vessel, but it’s really starting from the inside of the food tube is where that is really all stemming from you’re not going to have disease on the inside of a blood vessel unless you have dysfunction and disease in the intestines.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. Wow. That’s really helpful to hear. When we look at gut health and fighting inflammation and you brought up cholesterol, you brought up LDL and other lipid markers, what else too does the audience need to know and understand about their cholesterol issues and what their conventional doctor is pushing them to do about that?
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Well, when it comes to cholesterol gets totally vilified and that’s all pharmaceutical companies speak. When someone says your cholesterol is high and now we need to make it low, that’s just the way the medical doctors are trained, the way I was trained, the way all the other cardiologist are trained, whenever we speak to the audience. We’re like, oh if I say the word cholesterol, what do you think? They’re all like, oh, I think about cheesy substance. I thinking about fads. I think about too much butter, too many burgers. I think about these things that are clogging up my arteries, and cholesterol is a life giving molecule. All mammals, in fact, all animals have cholesterol. Eggs have cholesterol, because that’s how a baby chicken comes to life. You can’t raise a baby chicken on an oatmeal. You have to actually do so on the egg yolk, where all the nutrition is at all milk that contains cholesterol, because that’s where the babies get the milk from that nutrient, from the cholesterol, from that actually does to make things cholesterol makes up all of our hormones. Cholesterol makes up our cell membranes. Cholesterol makes up your brain. It makes up our digestion. Cholesterol coursing through the skin and the sun hits it and turns it into vitamin D, which obviously most people know that Vitamin D is incredibly important. What happens is that cholesterol levels go down, vitamin D levels go up. So I think a lot of people who would say is they’ve got abnormal cholesterol levels that they actually have a sunshine deficiency syndrome where or again, they are deficient in sunshine. When you get sunshine now, you start to make that conversion. There with cholesterol.
Cholesterol is this life giving molecule. The pharmaceutical companies, again, they control all medical education. They’ll say cholesterol is bad. The only way to deal with it is with a statin drug, which is a horrific policy. It’s literally led to millions of people dying because they take statin drugs. They think they’re safe. Statin drugs according to the compromised literature. The science we laugh about the term science these days. What really is the science that term is totally compromised. Well, the science and statin drugs shows that it lowers numbers down, but it has very little benefit as far as outcomes. If you say, well, statin drugs reduce the risk of someone in certain categories having a heart attack from 5% to 4%, we’ve failed the 4%, we failed the 4%. That means statin drugs, as far as I’m concerned, have been directly responsible for millions of people dying because those 4% of people still die and we failed them. We know what mainstream does and it’s not good enough. We can do so much better in the common sense space. I mean, this is the side of common sense. It’s not we’re not alternative, we’re not natural, we’re not holistic. It’s just a common sense arena. That’s what works.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yes, common sense arena doesn’t have to or can’t answer to big pharma boards. Yeah. I really appreciate you highlighting that piece and I just want to give you a chance to discuss any further LDL, HDL, how what is the relationship here between gut health? How should people be thinking about these if they’re not if they shouldn’t actually be afraid of cholesterol, high cholesterol is a healthy, normal part of life functioning. Where should the ranges be? Is there a range we should be looking at? How can we be thinking about this?
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Yeah, those are all great questions as it relates to LDL. LDL is a purpose. The pharmaceutical companies, again, to bash them, they label that the bad cholesterol, the HDL is the good cholesterol. Nothing could be further from the truth. LDL has a purpose. HDL has a purpose. We need to embrace that purpose. If we would say that your lipids are often the best test for that is the she’s been able to APR a ratio be able a ratio is the one we should be looking at total cholesterol is worth less LDL is HDL is have a little bit of value based on their ratio. But the most important thing are lipoprotein things are the stitching on the baseball, if you will, so we can measure the amounts of that stitching in the able be a way that’s the ratio we’re looking at. But if that ratio is abnormal, say it’s greater than 0.6. We need to figure out why. Why does someone have abnormal lipids? Because the LDL is are there to do a job. The LDL is a transport vehicle that transports cholesterol, triglycerides, fat soluble vitamins such as ADEK, CoQ10. It transports it around the body and those LDL can become oxidized, which means they’re part of the antioxidant system. They’re serving a purpose in that arena. LDL is and feels are part of the immune system. If your levels are abnormal, you again, you need to dive into the why and that’s we’re really going after the healthy gut assessment is going to be incredibly impactful to try and figure out your why people are not deficient in statin drugs.
They have leaky gut, they have gastrointestinal disorders, they’ve got toxins in their lives, whether they’re food related, environmental related, stress and emotional related, toxicity that leads to that gut hyperpermeability that leads ultimately to disease. Just to wrap that up, again, I’m anti statin drug. I have not written a prescription for a statin drug in a very long time there. I mean, again, it’s just not helping the situation and ultimately, we want to give the body what it needs, take away what it doesn’t in the body that is not, again, deficient in statin drugs not deficient. Aspirin is not deficient in blood pressure drugs. There’s a reason why millions of millions of people are suffering. I mean, there’s millions I mean, tens of millions of people who take statin drugs and their people are dropping like flies on a daily basis. It’s a problem.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. The statistic that got my attention is that there’s no actual reduction in cardiac events when you go on a statin. Like, oh, okay, that’s a good confirmation. That’s super helpful.
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
But what happens is that you just don’t hear this from your traditional medical doctor. It’s like they don’t even discuss all this stuff. It’s all just about lowering the numbers down. We could say what, Sinclair, I’ve got a perfect way to lower your cholesterol levels down lower. I’m down so low, you’ll never have a heart attack. We’re going to remove your liver. We’re going to remove your liver. Just it’s gone from some excellent problem solved. It’s like we’ve got a surefire way to prevent heart attacks and make sure nobody will ever go into atrial fibrillation. We’re going to actually remove your heart and give you an artificial heart. That’s the mindset of these people. That’s really the mindset. That’s what they’re trying to do with their pharmaceuticals with their ablations, with all the ablations for atrial fibrillation, people wind up with pacemakers all the time. I’ve got so many case stories of people, again, just with just damage charts from the medical system. I lived it again. I worked in the hospitals as a hospital based cardiologist and the biggest group in the state of Arizona for 16 years. I saw it all. I saw them on aspect, the financial aspect. They saw what we did and it was just wrong. I think in a lot of ways I’m that ultimate cardiology whistleblower from what I saw. But I appreciate, again, everything you guys are doing here in your summit to be able to get the truth out to people. It’s whatever you’re sicknesses, whatever your ailment is, if you do those strategies to improve gastrointestinal function and diminish that intestinal hyperpermeability, that’s the strategy. This is something we were never, ever, ever taught in our medical training.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yes. Thank you for laying it out so clearly because it’s a really big deal for people when they get the so much pressure from their cardiologist and they have like white coat syndrome. They’re looking at this person’s like, Oh, you must know more than me about my own body. I don’t want to go on. If they have a strong, intuitive feeling that they don’t want to they’re looking for alternatives and they’re still getting that pressure and they’re being told you’re doing it wrong if you don’t give in. Very interesting. You mentioned. Oh, go ahead. You want to add to that?
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Well it’s just I mean, the medical doctors are bullies. Listen, don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and a place for emergency medicine and trauma centers. God bless the men and women who work in emergency rooms and trauma centers when it comes to real prevention. They’ve got the medical system has nothing. They’ve got nothing for before trauma after trauma recovery from trauma. Before heart attacks, after heart attacks, they really got nothing. They’re great in emergencies and really horrific everywhere else. The medical doctors are really just that they’re just bullies. They just they learn one way. If you try and challenge them on that methodology, they’re just not trained to have the debate. I think now more than ever, really, in a 21st century world, we need the freedom of discussion of these things. We need the freedom to talk about our health and freedom to talk about everything. But certainly, as it relates to health, we need to have these discussions happening openly, freely, whether it’s at dinner with family and friends or it’s on social media or on news media. I think that questioning the mainstream narrative has become more important than ever.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
I agree, especially with what’s happening in Canada right now. It’s really appalling how health practitioners are being held and censored in a way that makes it so that you can’t actually discuss what you need to in terms of alternatives and options with your patients. Sending a prayer for them up there, because this is a really big deal and it’s happening right now.
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Yeah, it’s I mean, it’s certainly we kind of bash what happens in the United States. But it’s probably one of the better countries certainly in the developed world, where where freedom at least rings somewhat. But I think enough people are waking up to to what has happened over the last few years. There’s a lot of people who are very, very angry. They trusted and they got burned. They got burned. There are well known actors and actresses and people who are starting to speak out. I think that the more people share their stories, the more people tell their truth. I think it’s certainly going to continue to win the day.
But the pharmaceutical industry is a multi trillion dollar industry between big pharma and big military and big oil and big banking. They’re not going to grow a big tax. They’re not going to go quietly into the night. We’ll just have to continue to be prepared. But chance favors the prepared, a healthy enough person. I think it’s really that much more important just to get as healthy as possible, because when you are unhealthy, when you’re judgment is clouded because of health problems and of course pharmaceuticals, you just don’t think clearly you’re not in a in a coherent state to be able to fathom all the things that are happening around us, which is of course, that’s exactly what they want. They want what? Why didn’t they close the liquor stores and stuff like that? They just wanted us dumbed down, as they legalize all the pharmaceuticals and I’m sorry, all the all the drugs and stuff like that. Frankly, I’m a freedom guy. It’s like, okay, I guess if you’re an adult, do you want to smoke yourself to death? I mean, that’s up to you. It’s not really my thing or what I recommend. I don’t think it’s healthy for your heart. Medical marijuana or other is. But it’s just a way to. Yes, I mean, just control the situation and we need to be vigilant to stay awake.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. To your point about that, I think all the time when I was going through my own chronic illness issues, the last thing I was able to do was stand up for myself and actually direct the course of my life and ask the bigger questions. I certainly couldn’t contribute because I had such an energy deficit. Of course that translated into brain fog and it’s just trying to survive the day. I love that we have people coming to this event right now listening to this conversation and really asking, what is the next great step for me? Because the more we take our health into our own hands, that’s when we get our culture back. That’s when all our free will gets to be exercised. That’s when you get to actually be the contributing citizen, the loving, generous, creative person that you really are underneath all the symptoms and bullshit.
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Yeah. I think once again, the just go for a second opinion. If you’re with a conventional medical doctor who is just pushing more pills and procedures and you’re not getting better. My father told me this when I was starting my medical training. Like, the best thing anybody could ever do is to go get a second opinion. You may disagree with that and go back to the first person and that’s up to you. But just to kind of hear a different approach, a different side, and I think that’s what most people are interested in. There’s this kind of younger generation. I believe they saw the sickness in their parents. They don’t want to live like that. They’re going to they’re going to be just like that. Worse because of all the toxicity on planet Earth going on right now on on so many different levels. Food, environmental, spiritually, the whole thing. But they’re going to want something different when they get sick and they’re going to say, well, I know that my father was on these pharmaceuticals and he died young. I know that my mom had stents or I know that so-and-so suffered from heart failure. It was on all these different pharmaceuticals. They’re not going to want that for themselves. Whoever’s listening, certainly go seek out a second opinion. I think that’ll be pretty important for you.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yes. Well, let’s talk a couple other things that I’m sure you get asked about all the time. I want to hear your thoughts on them. You mentioned blood pressure, and I’d love for you to share your thoughts on how gut health actually impacts blood pressure.
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Yes. I mean when someone’s blood pressure is high, there’s a reason for it. There’s many different reasons for it. It’s really it comes a lot back to the gut health. When the gut is dysfunctional and now you have the dysfunction of the gut that leads to dysfunction in the blood vessels, you don’t make things like night like nitric oxide, which is the body’s main diesel dilator. You start to damage the lining of the blood vessels, which is the endothelium, but it’s also called the glycocalyx, which is inside of that and the glycocalyx’s like these finger like projections or I like to say seaweed that’s kind of like floating around the inside of the blood vessels. As that all gets damaged from a whole variety of mechanisms, then the person develops high blood pressure. I think a lot of what drives the high blood pressure is that the body senses that there is under perfusion in certain areas. The body is sensing that there is, again, this under perfusion and there is a deficit of getting the nutrients to the tissues that need it. So what happens when you have a kink in your garden hose? The pressure builds up behind that or if you may be inclined to turn the power up more and the water flow even more. That’s what happens in these blood vessels. They kind of clamp down, trying to increase pressure. But it’s all this dysfunctional reaction of what’s happening in the body to increase perfusion. A lot of that, again, starts from the gut which ultimately is a problem, whether it’s one thing I love to talk about to Sinclair is I love to talk about the gut analysis that show is an anti-actin antibodies. When your immune system makes anti-actin antibodies, it’s a sign where your immune system is attacking that particular protein called actin. Actin is in all cells that divide and it’s an all muscle cells. We’re talking about the muscles of the biceps and triceps and quads and glutes. We’re talking about the muscles that propel food from your mouth to your rear. We’re talking about the heart muscle and the smooth muscles in the arteries. If your immune system is attacking the actin protein in your heart muscle, you’re going to develop heart rhythm problems such as atrial fibrillation. You’re going to develop congestive heart failure cardiomyopathy. If your immune system is attacking the smooth muscle of the inside of your blood vessels, you’re going to develop coronary artery disease. We can test for that and we can fix that.
A lot of times, yes, it’s clearing out gluten and on other unnecessary food particles. You mentioned glyphosate early on. All of the obviously all the pesticides that kill the microbiome of the intestines, you eat foods that we should not be eating, such as gluten. then you don’t eat other foods. We should be getting plenty of like seafood and free range grass fed, nose to tail animal products and again keeping everything organically. But as you consume things that have the pesticides and the plastics and the phthalates and the parabens and of those and those are just the P words. Then you get all the viruses coming in there, and then you get a major, major, major offender, which is one of my favorite topics, which is on mold. You and I were both at an event recently where we spoke and my topic was 45 minutes on mold micotoxins from water damaged buildings. Yes, from food to components, moldy foods, but all but the mold mycotoxins from water damaged buildings. How it leads to destruction of the gut microbiome, intestinal, hyper permeability, inflammation, oxidative stress, immune system activation, and then tying it into hyper coagulate ability, blood clots, etc., tying it into autonomic dysfunction and people with parts postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, people with common fainting, people with just the really any cardiac condition coming from this these mold, microtoxins. It’s all in the literature for the people who said, oh, my presentation at that professional event, all those all the slides are there, all the references are there. Why aren’t the mainstream cardiologists?
Again, it’s just not something that they’re interested in. They’re just not, it’s just not in their area of expertize. It doesn’t fit their model. It doesn’t fit their reimbursement. I mean, the whole thing. But there are, there are many other integrative cardiologists such as myself. I think there’s more and more people that are waking up to the reality of what it know truly means to be healthy and well. When you went into medicine because you want to help people and then you find out you’re not. At the end of the day, you’re like, I’m just sitting in a room and pushing people to the highest dose of statins or some other brand new pharmaceutical PCSK9 inhibitors. I’m it’s just for me, it was such an epiphany moment. It was such a moment to kind of pull me out of the matrix. It was really exciting. But nonetheless, I think, ultimately our philosophy of natural heart, doctor, you will live well think well test. Don’t gas evidence based supplements the biohacking strategies but there’s a time and a place for certain pharmaceuticals but procedures but it should be at the end of the program let’s try and meet people in the beginning.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah, I think that’s beautifully said. I really appreciate you unpacking that piece for us. I want to talk to you about some of the elephants in the room heart attack and stroke risk and what we can do from a gut health perspective. I also don’t think in this day and age that we could talk about the gut health impact on heart attacks, the stroke risks, without talking about other recent factors involved. Can we unpack those two together? Let’s start with gut health, heart attack and stroke risk together. Then what else might be driving those numbers up?
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Yeah, well, I think that certainly I love to start with eating the right foods and avoiding the wrong foods. No matter what diet you follow, everybody agree to make it organic. Like whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, paleo, keto, carnivore. Just make it super clean if you drink coffee, which I love. Drink organic coffee. If you want to eat wheat bread, just make it organic. If you want to have ice cream, it just make it organic. I’m not pushing ice cream and wheat bread, obviously, but people do it just you can a life has to be celebrated and everybody’s got their vices and just do it without the chemicals, without the artificial sweeteners flavors. Personally, for a sweetener, my favorite thing, of course, is raw honey. We do eat a lot of seafood. We went I went fishing with my boys yesterday and we caught just just because it was probably about a four pound tuna, a two pound mackerel. We just brought it home and we put it on the grill. After we coated it in some beef tallow, put on some sea salt, and that’s what we did. Great strategies there. Also big fan of intermittent fasting and extended duration fasting. I do believe that 72 hour fasting helps to heal a lot of things, including coronary artery disease and plaque reversal. I think that’s exciting, but we always get caught up in the food story. What about the the live well part of the story, getting the appropriate sunshine, getting to sleep, going to sleep with the sun down, awaking before the sunrise, watching the sunrise, watching the sunset, understanding that our skin is a solar panel. The more our solar panel is in the sun, the longer we’re going to live. When you listen to people who tell you to avoid the sun, they are idiots. They are ignorant. They don’t understand common sense.
They don’t understand that all animals and all plants live outdoors in the sun. Why do the humans have to stay inside? It’s like they want us to be sick. They want us to be sick and miserable. Then over the last three years where they told everybody to stay inside and stay safe. Wait a second. Vitamin D, low levels of vitamin D was one of the biggest risk factors for said COVID. How can you get vitamin D when you’re sitting inside all day long? You can’t. You’re going to die. People with the highest levels of vitamin D have the lowest risk of everything. You get vitamin D from two places, from natural sunlight and from animal products. If you don’t get sunlight and you don’t eat animal products and seafood products, you’re going to die. You’re going to die. Ultimately, again, that part of the live well sunshine, good quality sleep being physical activity, physical activity movement and avoiding those environmental toxins. At the end of that I’ll throw and everybody has to be on a chiropractic care. Everybody should see a holistic dentist and that’s that. But I don’t want to lose sight real quick as I’m on this role here. As far as thinking well, thinking well is just as important as the eat well, live well as people over the last few years have lived in fear and anxiety and social isolation. Literature is very clear on this. It’s a death sentence. People who identify themselves as socially isolated before 2020 had four times the risk of cardiovascular events in a certain time frame. You don’t want to be alone. You don’t want to be alone. You don’t want to be afraid. You don’t want to be isolated. Bad, bad thing.
We need our community. We need our tribe. We need our spirituality. We need our self-acceptance, our gratitude, our gratitude. Easy to get caught up in. I don’t have this or I don’t have that or even like my health is bad. Woe is me. Well, I think in some ways we can be grateful for the health that we do have. If we do have high blood pressure, well, then we can be thankful for the fact that we’ve not had a heart attack or have not had a stroke. We could be grateful for natural treatment solutions. I think that’s absolutely critical spirituality, I think is very important. I think it helps kind of helps us navigate in a crazy world when there is a sense of something greater out there and that greater entity has a plan for us. That and that outcome will be good for the people who follow the good and follow the light. I guess to make close that up with also again with like that tests don’t guess, practitioners in holistic practitioners offer some of the most advanced testing in the world so get tested garden the 1970s tests from standard medical doctors that’s not going to get you anywhere that’s just going to get you in pharmaceuticals.
We got to get a lot more detailed, a lot more granular. What are your metal levels, your toxic metals, if you will? What are your good metals? Magnesium for example, manganese and molybdenum and copper and iron. Like, what are your levels of selenium? What are your levels of those that are so critically important? What are your levels of intracellular glutathione? There was an article that came out in 2020. I love this article. It said Endogenous glutathione iron deficiency as the number one risk factor for COVID Endogenous Glutathione Deficiency. Listen, people, we could talk about glutathione all day long and how important it is and where does that what he just said. What’s glutathione? Test it, read about it, learn about it and find out natural strategies to boost it. That’s the salvation strategy. But when someone writes an article that’s in the medical literature, that’s the number one risk factor. So now you start looking at vitamin D, you start looking at glutathione on people with the highest levels of omega three from eating seafood, had the lowest risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID.

All right, Jack, you’re not allowed to talk about those things on some of the biggest platforms in the world. You’re not allowed to mention some of these natural factors because there can only be a pharmaceutical.
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
It’s there, but even it’s like when they talk to Fouchier about it. Fouchier would say, it turns out that Vitamin D was I mean, he would pay some brief lip service.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
He got kicked off of YouTube for saying that, for saying work on your vitamin D and vitamin C levels during COVID that mean the center. And it is real.

How people don’t see through that but it’s just like and what are we doing Sinclair. We’re quoting what’s in the medical literature. I like to say this. When people come out to visit me as patients in Arizona, I’m like, I’m not telling you to chew on the bark of a saguaro cactus. It may be beneficial, but I’m not aware of it in the medical literature. People would say, Oh, that’s just a bunch of snake oil. There’s actually some literature that says that snake oil, it’s in the medical literature, that it does have some benefit for a variety of conditions. But I think, you know what? We operate really is that so much of this stuff is commonsensical things. We’re like, what does someone so tell me to avoid the sun? You’re like, What happens to a plant when you take it out of the sun? It dies why do people the further you live from the equator, the more likely you are to be dead. It’s just so obvious. Sunshine makes nitric oxide of sunshine into your eyeballs. Why? Artificial technology is bad certainly at night. Certainly.
I’m having this conversation right now. I’m outside. You can hear birds and insects that are in the background here when we are in the natural light that primes our body, that gets into the eye, goes back into the what’s called the super charismatic nucleus in the center of the brain, because the pair of ventricular nucleus up and down the cervical spine and the cervical chain ganglia back to the pineal gland where we make melatonin and where we release melatonin from. The melatonin is the hormone that melatonin is the master hormone that controls all the other hormones thyroid, estrogen and progesterone, testosterone, you name it. Melatonin controls at all. It’s a central clock in the brain. You get that from the sun, and people aren’t deficient in melatonin supplements. They’re deficient in sunshine and they’re toxic in artificial light. It’s just so what happens? People stay up all night, they’re eating a tub ice cream. They’re watching their favorite news channel. They’re getting sold their latest fear story. What’s going on, Sinclair? Let me tell you another story. There is a patient I saw some time ago because the story will give the date to this for people who kind of remember it. But there’s so much trauma and tragedy in the world, people may not remember. But a few years ago, I saw a guy I’m like, How are you doing today is a guy. My blood pressure’s high this morning. I’m like, Why? What’s up? He’s like, Oh, I didn’t sleep at all last night. I’m like, Why didn’t you sleep at all last night?
He said, What you didn’t hear? You didn’t hear about all the church bombings in Sri Lanka? I said, no, I didn’t hear about the church bombings in Sri Lanka. It’s just, again, I don’t watch the news and I missed that. But, while we’re talking, let me get on to Google and I’ll pull up the news. Oh, my God, this is horrible. These arguing religious factions and they bombed these churches in Sri Lanka and hundreds of people died. I was up watching the news all night. I’m like, that’s horrific. What happened was absolutely horrific. That useless, needless loss of human life. The tragedy is beyond belief. But what are you going to do about it? You’re a 70 year old guy living in Scottsdale, Arizona. What are you going to do about this tragedy? Are you going to go there? You’re going to go and volunteer. If you do listen, man, I’ll give you some money. I’ll give you support. Whatever you need to take over there are you going to donate money to the cause? If you do, great good for you. But this whole tragic episode and the fear and the anxiety, the only thing it did is keep you up all night. Now your blood pressure’s high. Now your higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke. The purpose of the news media is to do just that. It’s to keep you in a fear state, to keep you watching the channel. When you’re awake at 2:00 in the morning watching the news channel and no one’s having a broccoli salad at 2:00 in the morning when you’re up having ice cream or cereal at 2:00 in the morning, watching what’s going on and the tragedies now they’re ready to sell you something to deal with your fear, with your anxiety or your sleep disorder.
We live in a world that is totally dedicated to sabotaging our health. I so appreciate being on with you and being part of this summit to be able to really wake up people’s eyes. Obviously, most people are going to be listening to this. But, they know a lot of these things already. But this is an opportunity really to tell people now is the time that we need to shout this information from the rooftops in this. Now is the time when you watch this summit and you tell ten friends or 20 friends your entire friend list and you’re going to upset people, “Oh, my God, my doctor said I need a proton pump inhibitor forever or I’ve got Barrett’s esophagitis or I’ve got this, I’ve got celiac and I’ve got, Crohn’s ulcerative colitis or a million different labels of which US medical doctors are really good at passing on people.” But now is the time really to share the information, because the only way we’re going to save this planet is by freedom of speech, talking out loud, having the conversations. You’re going to lose friends, you’re going to make new friends. Sinclair I’ve lost a lot of friends. I’ve lost a lot of my m.d. buddies over the years. Many people who I’ve lost. I left the biggest group in the state of Arizona with 40 other cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons who didn’t believe what I did. But I knew when my wife would tell me this all along, you’re going to meet so many new friends. You’re going to have a whole lifetime of new friends. You and I are refreshingly connected and you and I are friends, and I’m happy for that. I’m very grateful for that.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Me too. I totally agree. There’s something about having to show up for yourself and your own health and the health of your family that gets your priorities really clear. If it means that you have to graduate from the paradigm you’re in right now and you got to grow up a little bit and you got to see through some of the structures. They keep fat cats fat and keep sick people sicker, then so be it. There’s a little bit of a shift that happens. But on the other side, there’s some really deep friendships where people have made real decisions for themselves around this as well. It’s deeply rewarding. Like you guys are doing me just fine. If you listening to us this far, I know that you resonate with what we’re talking about and we’re cheering you on. We believe in you. We absolutely know that it’s possible for you to heal. We expected of you to show up and do the work, and we are here to cheer you on.
Thank you so much, Jack, for joining me and for bringing the fire, as you always do. You’re such an inspiring presence, and I love that you’re not only capable of, but you’re courageous enough to speak the truth about some of the factors that are happening right now. I just want to make sure people know where to find you.
Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC
Welcome in so many people. I mean, obviously, I mean, like I mean, the people need us. It’s like the children need us. The adults need us, the people who are just being absolutely abused by the medical system and and they don’t know it. We talked about the statin drugs before Lipitor is the number one selling of all time. Number one selling. The drug has very little, if any, reported benefit. I’ve seen a lot of toxicity. I think it’s one of the things that killed my father at an early age of 63. The ability to get this information out there, my website is Natural Heart Doctor. I’ve got myself and I’ve got other doctors who work with me. I’ve got a wonderful team of health coaches and yeah, cardiovascular disease is our jam. Anybody who needs my help, certainly I’m available. I understand there’s not a lot of people who do what I do, but I’m in more and more people join in the movement sharing the truth. Many people, again, you’ve got family members who are on and are suffering from these drugs and they’re dying quickly or they’re dying slowly, but they’re dying. Now we can give them any advice to allow them to live. There’s information is the gift of life and longevity with clarity and vitality. Again, Sinclair, I truly appreciate you having me on. Thanks, Jack.
