Episode #288: Connie Zack: Infrared Insights: From Heavy Metal Detox to Cardiovascular Health

My guest this week is Arthur Menard Founder of Lambs. In this episode, Arthur and I discuss the harmful effects of EMF radiation and the healthful effects of Lambs EMF-Proof Clothing. Most of us think about what we put in and on our body, but we don’t always think about the environmental threats to our health. We suffer a significant amount of cell damage from EMF radiation that comes from cell phones, laptops, cars, airpods, wireless anything, smart devices, computers, airplanes, microwaves and more! Learn more about LAMBS EMF protective clothing at https://bit.ly/LAMBSBSP and use discount code LONGEVITY for 15% off. Arthur defines EMF”s and explains how EMF radiation affects our cells specifically. Once you understand the mechanism, it makes a whole lot more sense why we should be concerned about it. EMF creates free radicals, free radicals put us at risk for oxidative stress. When our bodies are in a state of stress 24/7 they can’t thrive or help us fight off any other illnesses that threaten our immune system. Arthur also gives us some insight into EMF research. Research shows that EMF radiation affects people in different ways. About 4% of the population is extremely affected by EMF radiation where the rest of us can’t really feel or see the damage until it’s too late because it has a cumulative effect. Reports of infertility, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes have all been linked to this kind of radiation.  This is where LAMBS or EMF-Proof Clothing comes in. We often choose to ignore the evidence because there isn’t any easy solution and we REALLY like technology! Let’s face it, technology isn’t going anywhere. So the wonderful thing about this health-enhancing apparel is that in early research it has shown to improve HRV, sleep, and overall stress on our bodies. EMF clothing can’t turn your health around on its own, it’s important to eat healthy, find ways to lower stress, get a good amount of sleep and keep your body moving.

My guest this week is Adrienne Jezick, Co-Founder Morozko Forge, Master Deliberate Cold Exposure (DCE) Guide. In this episode, Adrienne shares an all-too-familiar story of a major battle with autoimmunity to the point where she thought she was dying. Low and behold, she tried one natural therapy for autoimmunity after another until she noticed that ice baths, or deliberate cold exposure therapy, made the biggest impact. While an anti-inflammatory diet was also helpful, ice bath’s opened her eyes to a totally new world of healing autoimmunity naturally. Ice baths have the power to heal chronic and acute conditions and can be a complementary therapy for many other diseases. We encourage you to comb through the clinical research out there.  Perhaps one of the biggest deterrents for deliberate cold exposure is the fear of discomfort. That’s normal. Adrienne speaks with us today with full confidence that we can, with the right guidance, be someone who tolerates and benefits from ice baths.  Today’s episode will help you understand how to prepare for deliberate cold exposure, how long to stay in an ice bath, who should NOT try ice baths, what kind of breathwork is helpful for ice baths, contrast therapy, and how often you should do ice baths. And of course, what to do if you don’t have access to a place that has ice baths. Learn more about deliberate cold exposure (DCE) at https://www.morozkoforge.com or if you would like to be put on the waiting list for new training in 2022 then shoot Adrienne an email at info@morozkoforge.com.

My guest this week is Suzanne F. Turner, MD of Vine Medical. In this episode, Dr. Turner and I discuss why the common treatments for depression are not always the needed treatments for depression. Depression can be rooted in SO many different health issues that are treatable which is why jumping straight to Prozac and other antidepressants is premature. We discuss treating depression with nutrition, hormone therapy, peptides, eliminating certain medications, addressing trauma, and so much more. This is not to say that antidepressants aren’t needed at all. They can be helpful for some people however it is more important to treat the potential root causes of depression first, if more support is needed, then antidepressants can be warranted.   Learn more about Dr. Turner at Vine Medical Associates here.
