Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Michelle Jorgensen. She is an author, speaker, teacher, and holistic dentist. She is a Functional Integrative Dentist (DDS) and a Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath (BCTN). She also has certifications like Therapeutic Nutritional Counselor (TNC) and Certified Nutritional Autoimmune Specialist (CNAS). Dr. Michelle grew up in a family surrounding dentistry as his father is a dentist. She also chose the same path and about 10 years later, she felt very sick. She tried to figure out what was happening, and she discovered that she developed mercury poisoning caused by mercury fillings she drilled out from her patients. As Dr. Michelle was in the process of trying to figure out what to do, the doctor mentioned that it is something that will be hard to get out of if she will continue to inhale it from her patients. She had to do some research in order to know a way to prevent it from being inhaled. She discovered an organization that has a protocol for it and started doing it herself. In this episode, Dr. Michelle discusses about the presence of mercury in the dental industry and its harmful effects on people. She talks about her personal experiences and what she had to go through when she got mercury poisoning. Aside from that, she will also be discussing topics like sleeping problems and their correlation with oxygen or airways.

It wouldn’t show up easily on a hair analysis test. A provocation test can be done to detect mercury in the body as it takes something from the tissue for testing.  The best way to find the kind of Mercury you are dealing with is through a urine test It took a while before Dr. Michelle’s health improved due to Mercury exposure. It’s a slow process of recovery. [11:38] Mercury Poisoning and Its Harmful Effects on the Body Zinc helps in creating stomach acid.  The presence of mercury in the body prevents the creation of stomach acid, hence it’ll be hard to digest food and absorb the nutrients. No matter what you do, if your stomach can’t create acid, it’ll be hard to break down food. You’ll end up getting malnourished and a lot of problems may arise. Mercury doesn’t affect thyroid function as much as Fluoride.  Fluoride, Iodine, Bromine, and Chloride may have an effect and interfere with thyroid hormone activation. Mercury is like a bully that has an effect against everything. A baby can inherit the Mercury that exists in their mom’s body or tissues. It detoxes into the baby.  One’s body works differently than the others. Some are experiencing Methylation issues or Methylation variations that enable the body to determine whether to keep or throw something. [18:41] What to Do When You Have Issues with your Dental Fillings? If you’re having a Mercury issue with your fillings, you have to get it removed safely. You shouldn’t just remove them unsafely from a regular dentist.  It’s better to let it be than have it removed unsafely. Removing it unsafely is giving a risk of much bigger mercury exposure than leaving them be. [25:40] How Do Oxygenation and Airway Issues Affect a Person's Sleep? At least 75% of people have airway obstruction, however, it isn’t entirely sleep apnea. Oxygen is needed in the blood as the blood takes it to every single cell in the body. If you’re not getting enough oxygen, your blood won’t have much oxygen. If you have high blood pressure that you can’t figure out what the cause is, it might be due to low oxygenation and airway issues when you’re sleeping.  Oura ring can help become an indicator of your oxygen saturation. When a person wakes up because they need to go to the bathroom, they are already awake at the time. The body has a hormone that prevents oneself from the need to go to the bathroom, so if you have this urge, then you’re already awake the moment you felt it. A cone beam CT scan is one of the things that can help you in checking your airway. It will help determine what’s causing the lack of sleep in a person. It needs to be a Cone Beam CT scan full volume or a larger volume for this. Gum recession, worn-out front teeth, bumps of bone under the tongue from squeezing and clenching to flatten the tongue and open up the airway, etc. are signs that you need to pay attention to. [40:25] Possible Solutions and the Things that Dr. Michelle Recommends One of the solutions you could do is to get a sleep study, check what’s currently happening, etc. The tongue position could be one of your issues. You may have a tongue tie that can be solved by Myofunctional Exercises and tongue tie release. Dr. Michelle Jorgensen also recommends going with a myofunctional therapist.  AND MUCH MORE!

Improve Your Environment to Get Rid of Sleep Interrupters  -       To have a good sleep, you need to eliminate or manage the amount of light in your room.  -       Your circadian clock will be disrupted if you're not managing light properly. Start dimming the lights in your house or create some ambient lighting so you can see where you're going. -       You can use red light bulbs that help as well. Some people will put on some blue light bulbs and turn those on. -        Use blue light-blocking glasses. Pick one of these and try to manage darkness again about 90 minutes before your target bedtime. -       You need to check the temperature. It is advisable to sleep in a chilly place to have a good sleep. -       Boost your serotonin and get better sleep. Anything you can do to increase your serotonin will improve your sleep.  [21:58] Lack of Sleep? You Should Enhance Your Sleeping Schedule!  -       To optimize your sleeping schedule, you need to wire genetically to wake up with light.  -       Light is better than just being jarred awake with some form of alarm in raising the temperature. -       You can use melatonin which is good for falling asleep. It's good for triggering the hormonal cascade we want for deep sleep. -       You can power through that target bedtime, get that cortisol response, and your sleep is compromised. That's a good time to use melatonin to help shut your brain down and calm yourself out. -       Dream optimizer is awesome for people that wake up in the middle of the night and want to go back to bed. A couple of sprays will get you another round of sleep.  [31:30] Does Melatonin Really Help You Sleep? Let’s See!  -   Melatonin also helps regulate your body temperature, blood pressure, blood glucose, body weight, and levels of some hormones. -   Your melatonin levels start to rise when it’s dark outside, signaling your body that it’s time to sleep. They then decrease in the morning to promote wakefulness when it’s light outside. -   Melatonin also binds to receptors in your body to help you relax. Melatonin’s exact mechanisms are unclear. Research suggests that these processes may help you fall asleep. -   Melatonin is an effective supplement that may help you fall asleep, especially if you have insomnia or jet lag. It may offer other health benefits as well. [39:45] GABA: A Molecule of Chills and A Really Powerful Neurotransmitter -   Insomniacs are about 30% deficient in GABA and there's a genetic component to insomnia.  -       Supplementing with GABA can be powerful. Every form of GABA on the market is tested, and probiotics will produce neurotransmitters. -       When you take GABA, it signals through your gut to your brain that it's there, it's present, because it will not cross the blood-brain barrier. [46:58] Want to Try an Effortless Way to Track Your Sleep? Try Sleep Sensing! -       There is a pattern where your body will try to emphasize deep sleep or REM sleep; now both are happening all the time. - Only when a brain electrode is worn can you obtain reliable sleep tracking data. Pushing your brain that hard allows it to recover faster. The breakthrough Matt uses practically every night is consistently effective, and he has no problems. -       The other cool thing about the breakthrough is that you can play around with the dose. Some people get better results with one scoop, about four grams, and the full dose is two scoops.  AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me, the co-founder of TRU KAVA, a company that is striving to set the industry standard for quality, safety, and education around kava within the mass market, Cameron George. Cameron has spent many years investigating every aspect of kava. He has collaborated with many of the most prominent experts in the world within the fields of kava research and historical kava use. The goal of this project is to provide the safest and most effective kava products on the market, as well as educate the public on the complex story surrounding kava, explain some of the myths, the massive variation of quality on the market, and the many amazing benefits that kava can offer to the modern world when it’s used correctly in its traditional form. He strives to advocate for the use of only lab tested, safe kava varieties. The initiative is to clearly educate on the differences between safe and questionable kava products demonstrated in the scientific literature and historical accounts.   This episode originally aired in August 2020. In this episode, Cameron dives into the story of his autoimmune/nervous system condition that led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of KAVA. Cameron touches on how KAVA can positively affect those suffering from an autoimmune disease and he explains the benefits KAVA can have on everyone. KAVA is excellent for reducing cortisol, appetite, glucose, and inflammation. Stay tuned as Cameron speaks about maximizing the benefits of KAVA and what makes TRU KAVA unique.

Cameron also suffered from chronic fatigue, severe cognitive deficits, constant anxiety, insomnia, and convulsions that inhibited his ability to recover at any degree. After seeing countless doctors, he started researching medicinal herbs with anti-anxiety/anticonvulsant properties to reduce his anxiety and convulsions. This eventually led him to discover the excellent medicinal benefits of "true" KAVA, a potent plant-based anxiety-reducing nootropic drink from islands in the south pacific. [28:00] How KAVA Can Benefit People With Autoimmune Diseases To understand KAVA, it’s best to look at it from a philosophical perspective first. KAVA plays a protective role in ecology. It creates a lot of chemical compounds to protect itself and the other organisms around it. KAVA has anti-inflammatory action and anticonvulsant action. Autoimmunity is trauma from the gut and psyche. Because of KAVA’s anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant actions, it is helpful for people with autoimmune issues. KAVA will calm the nervous system and the immune system. It’s a broad spectrum natural protective substance that protects us from inflammation. [32:50] Using KAVA To Handle Stress All disease comes from stress. Whether it be physical, chemical, or emotional – you need to be exposed to only adaptable stress. We need tools and strategies that can increase our resilience to all forms of stress. KAVA is not the only tool. However, it’s a critical intervention tool that calms down the storm inside our body during trauma. Instead of turning to alcohol, KAVA can help give us an acute therapeutic crutch. Stress will put us in a state of fear and distort reality - KAVA will help alleviate the stress. [36:00] How KAVA Can Affect Cortisol KAVA can help metabolic flexibility – it will reduce cortisol and reactivity in the body. People who combine coffee and KAVA found that their blood glucose levels go down significantly. On average KAVA will drop glucose below the baseline. Outside of cortisol reduction, KAVA is a full-spectrum adaptative substance. It will put the body in a hyper fasted state. [43:10] Maximizing The Effects of KAVA    You can maximize the effects of KAVA by drinking it with coffee. Have some of the coffee then put KAVA under your tongue as well. The KAVA shots are stronger - they will enhance creativity. There’s a spectrum of strength depending on which product you are looking at. [44:20] How TRU KAVA is Unique The main differentiating factor is that TRU KAVA only uses 100% root material. Many products have the leaves and stems in them. They can actually be quite toxic to humans and cause a lot of problems. TRU KAVA never uses solids to extract anything. The reason people use this is that they get high yields. Some KAVA strains are for daily use, whereas others are not considered for everyday use. TRU KAVA will confirm that the strains are for daily use.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Josephine Barbarino. She is the founder and CEO of the Keto Live Project, a project with a mission to spread legitimate information and data about Ketogenic Metabolic Therapies as a powerful medical tool for the prevention and treatment of different diseases.  Josephine is a successful architect, traveling around building various infrastructures. But suddenly, her world turned upside down as she noticed the numerous medication she took. This is the start where Josephine fears death, so she reaches out to google to find answers. Luckily, she found her answer from a famous diet doctor, and the solution she found was a ketogenic diet.  Since then, Josephine was able to put her type two diabetes into remission within three months. Within half a year, all her numerous medications were gone. With her dream to open a teaching center for medical professionals, she started the European Keto Live Center to help medical professionals and patients know this healing method.  In this episode, Josephine Barbarino speaks about her story of how the ketogenic diet saves her life from different diseases that she has. She also discusses what you should choose: intermittent fasting or Keto diet. Josephine Barbarino reminds people that guidance from professionals is needed while on medication. Josephine Barbarino tells the history of the European Keto Live Center.  Tune in as we chat about the Intermittent Fasting and Keto Diet, the need for better and long-term studies, and the invitation to the upcoming medical conference.

You can take it slowly. -       Our body is a wonderful factory because it always tries to back up your mistakes. -       Seeing our body's fantastic mechanism will make you humble and start thinking about what you eat. -       We are designed to heal, and it's just a matter of identifying the interference and removing it one by one. [22:32] Are you on Medication? Do Not Do It Alone. It is Dangerous!  -       If people are on medication, they shouldn't try it alone. They should convince their doctor that they want to do it. -       If your doctor refuses, find another one that could help you. -       If you are not sick yet, start keto immediately to prevent going on medication. [31:26] It's for Everybody! Join Us and Learn from This Medical Conference  -       Everybody interested is welcome to join this event. -       It is created for medical professionals, but the lectures of the scientist here are not complicated to understand. -        The first half day on Monday will start with neurological or psychiatric diseases. -       The second day is about insulin and cardiovascular heart disease. -       The third day is always about cancer. -       Next are diabetes, type one, and two and related diseases like kidney disease and liver disease. -       The last half day is on neurological diseases, the more advanced like stroke or neurodegenerative like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. [37:46] The Birth of Josephine Barbarino’s Legacy on Realizing Her Dream  -       In 2021, they started a new project called the metabolic health pilot connecting the sciences. -       Josephine’s dream was to open a teaching center for medical professionals, and she was supported by the best scientist and practicing physicians in the world. -       The organization is called European Keto Life Center, but it is now an International Association for ketogenic metabolic therapies, reaching places like Africa, Mexico, and Australia. [44:26] We Don’t Need More Studies. We Need Better and Long-Term Studies  -       More studies are not needed, but better and long-term studies are required. Thus, the idea to build a center not only for education but also for inpatients was born. -       This is a center where medical students, postgraduate students, dieticians or nurses can come. But at the same time, patients are educated. -       This is where we can get a lot of physicians on board. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Russell Kennedy here with me. He is a medical practitioner who also holds a degree in neuroscience and is dedicated to assisting those with mental illness. In addition, he is the author of the book Anxiety Rx, a certified yoga instructor, a speaker with the National Speakers Bureau. For many years, he worked as a doctor during the day and a stand-up comedian at night, appearing in comedy clubs all over the country. His expertise is anxiety because he too suffered from it for a long time and wants to prevent others from going through what he did. He is well-known as The Anxiety MD.  Dr. Kennedy grew up with a father who had a lot of challenges and essentially faced many challenges himself. His father had schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and had a lot of trauma in his environment growing up. One of the reasons Dr. Kennedy became a physician was his feeling of impotence watching his dad decline over and over and he wanted to have power over illness somewhat. In this episode, Dr. Kennedy speaks about his experiences with mental illnesses. He also talks about his challenges growing up with a mentally challenged father and how he was able to transform into the man of medicine he is today.

One of his teachers eventually became his patient and they had a laugh about the past. His seventh-grade bully also came to him as a patient. Meeting him was one of his biggest lessons he learned while practicing medicine. He realized that the bully was traumatized from childhood and took it out in the only place that he could. You cannot compare traumas. [13:00] The Biggest Enemy in Healing Anxiety You cannot expect a book to heal your anxiety. It only provides you with the framework, the work is yours to do. The biggest enemy in healing anxiety is an overprotective ego. An overprotective ego doesn't let you go back and experience the same pain that you were used to. Unless you can go back and feel it, you can't bring it to the surface, a place where you can start changing. You cannot change them unless you use feeling to change them. [29:13] Changing Your Physiology in Combination with Mindset The biggest thing in changing one's physiology is breathing. As soon as you focus on your breath, it naturally slows down. The mind usually runs too quickly that the body has no choice but to breathe quickly, shrinking down your chest. When your chest shrinks, it sends a message to the brainstem that you are in trouble. Your breathing becomes very shallow. [39:05] Understanding the Root of Anxiety, "Body Alarms", and Healing A lot of people don't even think to look at their body because their mind is usually moving too fast to process anything. When you are anxious or alarmed, you must investigate your body and find the cause. A lot of people who are of senior age haven't even thought of looking at the anxiety in their bodies. The mind reflects how the body feels. If you have an alarm in your system that's been there due to past trauma, your mind is going to react to it repeatedly until it becomes its go-to. [1:02:39] Unconsciously Reliving Trauma through Mind Regression If you have chronic stress like a lot of people, especially those who had a traumatic or abusive past, your mind gets pushed back into the time when you experienced such things. There is a theory that states that if you experienced a significant trauma as a child, part of you stays locked at that certain age until it gets brought back up. Mirror work deals with this by reminding yourself that you are living in the present. AND MUCH MORE!

For more than two decades, his research has exposed how biotech companies mislead policy makers and the public and put the health of society and the environment at risk. This episode originally aired in October 2021. In this episode, Jeffrey Smith opens the show by speaking about his studies of chemicals and glyphosate. After attending a genetic engineer whistleblower lecture, Jeffrey did his own research, wrote books, and even directed movies. Jeffrey explains why GMOs are not the way to solve a world hunger crisis. Tune in as we dive deep into what glyphosate and GMOs are doing to animals, humans, and the general environment.

Monsanto was about to genetically engineer the food supply of soy and corn grown in Iowa. However, hardly anyone knew about it. The scientist knew that the technology was dangerous and could have a dramatic effect on human health. Jeffrey realized the fraud that allowed it to be approved by the corrupt regulatory agencies captured based on the mythological lies by the biotech industry claiming safety. So, Jeffrey started writing books and making movies about the controversy. Based on the evidence he collected, Jeffrey was convinced that eating these foods was causing tremendous harm to the US population and around the world. Get Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FP6MNMM/benazadi-20 Read Seeds of Deception: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BDLAU8/benazadi-20  [10:00] Can We Solve A World Hunger Crisis By Developing GMOs? Did you know that GMOs have nothing to offer when it comes to feeding the hungry world? GMOs do not increase average yields, and increasing yields is not necessarily the way to handle hunger. Currently, there's more food per person than at any time in human history. GMOs work against developing countries, destroys biodiversity and concentrates the power into the hands of corporations. Sadly, GMOs can devastate both the health of humans and animals. [19:50] What Is Happening To Humans When Pesticides Are Going Into Our Water Supply? One of the highest levels of Roundup is in the animal feeds. In addition to being patented as an herbicide, glyphosate was patented as an antibiotic. Glyphosate is a special type of antibiotic because it kills the beneficial bacteria in our gut, not the pathogens. So, it creates dangerous changes in our bodies. Roundup can be a cause of leaky gut, and all diseases come from a leaky gut. Glyphosate damages the sequence of the DNA and creates oxidative stress, linking it to cancer. There are also birth defects associated with it and changes in epigenetics. [37:55] How Do You Go About Finding Wine That Is Not Contaminated? Finding a wine that is not contaminated will be a heavy burden. Someone did a study on organic wines in California. All except one had traces of glyphosate. Why are there traces of glyphosate in most wines? Well, it’s because the water supply is contaminated and because the air is contaminated. Most of the time, ‘organic’ isn’t good enough. Instead, you need to know that it is non-GMO verified. [43:00] The Terms We Want To Look For When We're Shopping For Products Even if the beef says ‘grass-fed,’ it could be grain-finished. If they grain finish, it is probably corn, and that would contain GMOs. You want 100% grass-fed beef. Ideally, you want to call them and ask if the pastures contain any genetically engineered alfalfa. Remember, consumer demand drives the companies. We really want the 100% grass-fed people to say no genetically engineered alfalfa. [46:50] Jeffrey Gives His Thoughts On The Dirty Dozen and The Clean Fifteen For a long time, the clean fifteen included papaya and corn. However, those are two of the most genetically engineered crops. There was something they weren’t telling people. Glyphosate is not tested as a residue by the US government. The US government doesn't test for glyphosate because they have been bought off. The government believed that glyphosate was so safe, it didn't need to be tested. They haven't been able to change their minds because of the corporate capture.

Jeffrey is exposing the shocking and potentially world-altering effects of genetic engineering microbes. A graduate student wanted to research a genetically engineered organism to get his Ph.D. So, he got permission to test this GMO microbe. He went into the lab one Saturday morning and was shocked to find that all of the wheat plants on his experimental batch had turned to slime. The sludge contained still active bacteria. The student discovered this two weeks before the people with the bacteria would release it outdoors to see how far it could spread. The microbiome, however, is far more complicated and essential than anyone ever thought. We didn't need a pandemic to know that they could travel around the world and mutate.

She realized she had been struggling with health issues as she went through college and continued to experience more. Eventually, she was also diagnosed with skin cancer.     Through her recovery journey, she found her passion for being a personal trainer.     The sun is not the cause of skin cancer. Instead, it is what is happening underneath the skin. [04:50] When Nothing Seems to Work, Think Mold!     Jenn discussed how her family was residing around the Northern California farm fields where substantial power lines and other aspects that possibly have radiation affected her health.     After about two years of being healthy and feeling great, Jenn's health started deteriorating again due to her mold exposure.     If pets have similar symptoms of mold exposure, such as weight loss, it signifies unhealthy environmental changes.      Mold exposure causes estrogen elevations, resulting in weight gain, breast tenderness, and acne.     Exercise alone will not get you well in this day and age. [26:26] The Body’s Reaction to Stress     When your body is experiencing a load of stress, you have to redefine what stress is.     Hormesis is staying in this hormetic feeling, and a slight stress you adapt to is excellent. But the body will not adjust to a strenuous workout if your stress bucket is filled with different kinds of stress.     Devices such as oura rings are great tools for creating consciousness and awareness of what is happening to our bodies.  [37:25] The Root Cause of Acid Reflux & How to Get Rid of It!     The most common correlation with acid reflux is an H. pylori bacteria overgrowth.     Another common correlation with acid reflux is eating inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy or grains.     People with a stressful lifestyle tend to have H. pylori bacteria.     Keratin's purpose is to capture this oxygen free radical and protect against oxidative damage so the leaf is not destroyed. [43:51] What is the Most Accurate Test for H. pylori?     As there are different lifestyles, there are also corresponding tests for testing H. pylori, such as stool samples and GI map tests.     Most Vitamin Es are 95% Tocopherol, and 5% will be Tocotrienols. [47:12] The Best Tips For Supporting Liver Health     The liver helps to filter things out from getting into the gut, such as toxins and other stuff.     Since World War II, over 150,000 toxins have been introduced into our environment. Research shows us that our body encounters two pounds of toxins daily.     Because humans live longer lifespans than animals and organisms, the evolution of changes in the body takes longer.     Eat organic, minimize toxic exposure from food, manage skincare products, and keep environmental surroundings clean.
