“I use the analogy of school. It's like you have the failing student judging the grade A student. And I feel like in many ways that's sort of the poo-pooing of functional medicine from conventional world. It's like, well, how dare you? But yet look at the statistics. You have the worst healthcare system in the industrialized nation, but yet you're criticizing people that are trying to do something different to see something different”

“So, I think you're on the wrong side of history if you still think functional medicine is controversial. It's not. We're getting people healthy. Healthy shouldn't be controversial. And I think it says more about the system that's calling us controversial than it does about us getting people healthy. So that's the first thing that comes to mind is that still we have this sort of archaic dinosaurs critiquing people that are giving people healthy, but it's almost like the analogy that I use in the book. It's like the”

“Woo, woo, but look, I bring it back to this point. It's ultimately the United States spends more on health care than the next ten top spending countries combined, yet we have the worst, we have the most disease, and the shortest lifespan of all industrialized nations. So I think that when you look at those statistics, we have to realize we have to do something different to see something different. And when you look at the statistics, what we do in functional medicine, it speaks for itself. We're getting people healthy. We're able to reduce and eliminate their need for medications when it's possible. And we're improving the quality of life. And I think it speaks loudly when you talk about mainstream institutions like the Cleveland Clinic opening up functional medicine centers. They're not opening it up millions of dollars of putting it into these clinics off of quackery and woo-woo. They're doing it because the statistics and the data speak for itself.”

“Conventional medicine against functional medicine. And the idea that food is influential to somebody's health, I don't think that's controversial, but I still hear it from time to time, not super common these days. And it's increasing, it's over the past 13 years, it's happening less and less, is that 13 years ago it was so radical I would get phone calls at the clinic saying, how dare you say that you could reverse type 2 diabetes with food? How dare you say that food plays a role in many people's autoimmune conditions? Now, I don't get those phone calls anymore, and we have a bigger platform than ever. So I have a feeling that it's just more normalized now, but it's still, I think, it's interesting to me the pushback that some of us get within functional medicine with conventional medicine. It's that they will say we're quacks or”

“Talk about is still controversial in some pockets of medicine. So we can put that aside. I think most people within health and wellness would agree with most of the things I say I'm not super dogmatic one way or the other. My job is to find out what your body loves and what your body hates and I don't really have a horse in the race when it comes to specific ideologies. But I do feel like functional medicine gets a lot of Back from conventional medicine. I talk about it in gut feelings actually, this sort of God complex that I think sometimes happens with”

“Who are we talking about and how are they doing it? So I could think of just about anything in wellness where it doesn't work for one person, but it does work for another person. So I'm not a hardliner, I guess is what you would say. I really seen, and that's really because all I do is talk to people about their health ten hours a day and just seeing a lot of variables out there. And it's really hard to be super dogmatic when you see a lot of nuance, a lot of variables, a lot of gray areas when it comes to somebody's health. So I don't know what I would say that's so controversial. I think that what we in functional medicine.”

“So for me, it's I'm a work in progress trying to figure it out. I'll tell you one thing that I'm getting better at. It's saying no to things. Because my mind earlier in my career I would say yes to everything. I'd think, oh, like it's an opportunity, right? Or I'm so blessed to be asked why would I say no to that? And if I say no, they won't ask me again, right? All the things. And it's like, no, at certain point, there's only so many hours in the day. And my team is checking me on that too. Like, you need to quit saying yes, do everything. So for me, I think letting no it's not personal. It's just no for me right now. That goes a long way to like decreasing my stress levels. So I'm just getting started on this path of no. So I'll let you know how it goes.”

“Not the norm when it comes to people that are professional and doing all the things because I didn't really think that much about it other than just being of service to the person in front of me or just, I mean, when I'm in a consult, that's all that's there. It's the consult that's there and I'm focused on it. So again, it's heavy to hold, but that's basically that I'm doing. So I don't know. I mean, I had kids pretty young and they're getting of age now, teenagers now. So I'm thinking of like being able to spend. These years of my wife in like newly weds, you know, so on a personal level, I'm kind of excited for that. I'm excited to like.

“Yeah, I don't know. I think it's just like in many ways it's like a TBD sort of thing. I've spent my career thus far. Really my nose to the ground, doing what I love. Staying in my lane, if that makes sense, or just relentlessly pursuing a passion that I've had that's really just been an outpouring. So I think of all the things that I'm doing now, talking with you right now, or writing a book or having a podcast or all this stuff is really just ripple effects of that main focus of justice. Figuring out complex problems to people's health issues. So I don't know where that would take me, but I haven't really, and I probably.”

“Yeah, it is. I think the first thing that comes to mind is a great support system, right? I think we all need that no matter what line of work that we're in or no matter who you are. So for me professionally, it's my team. So I can really almost metabolize that heaviness with my team. I can go and talk with them about what happened. We can rift ideas. We can kind of get it out week by somatically talking about it and the sort of mutual experience. I think that we both we all have on the patient team specifically. So that's it. And then these practices, the practices that I talk about and gut feelings of just grounding practices, meditation, breath work, getting out in nature, these things are non-negotiables for me because of, again, I talk about my lack of presence sometimes. Am I focused on all the stuff instead of being?”

“It's normal for me to do that because you're holding space for people that are going through heavy things and you're talking to them for hours, hour and a half at a time. Yeah, if you aren't, you're pretty apathetic, I think, to this line of work that I do.”

“On a regular basis, actually When you look at things that people go through, it makes you appreciative of life so much. When you see people that are doing all the things that are really trying with all their heart to be healthy and to get out of a dark place in their health? Lose it all And having trouble to find their way out of it, it is just a sacred responsibility for me to be there for them, but it's also hugely humbling, I think, of just the brevity of life, the fragility, the between the line between health and health problems. It is not lost on me at all. So I tear up pretty consistently in a consult.”

“Oh, man, I am so imperfect. So I'm prone to anxiety. I'm prone to thinking sort of frenetically of just like all the things I have to do and not spending enough. Really not that much time at all, focusing in the present moment back to why I suck at meditation. And that's okay. I'm okay with that because that's why I need to do it and why I need to do it even more than the average person probably. So that's what I struggle with. It's really being grounded in the present moment my mind is thinking about all the things I had to do. My team, my patience, my whatever. The next thing I have to do for the book or the podcast.

And that's we all should be doing that. It's completely free, it's accessible. None of us are good at it. That's why it's called a practice. And the people that say that meditation isn't for them, they're probably the ones that should be doing it the most.

“In mid-afternoon, those are two ways that you can do it. Be sensible about it, be moderate about it. If you have, you know, an eating disorder, I wouldn't recommend it. But for the average person that's looking to optimize their health, most of us are in the West stuck in the sugar-burning, metabolically inflexible state where we're on this blood sugar roller coaster. We have these insatiable cravings, even if it's for the healthier sugars. And intermittent fasting is a way to sort of train your metabolism to be more resilient, to be more flexible. So then break the fast around lunchtime is how we typically would do it. But we have lots of vegetables and clean protein and healthy fats like avocados and extra virgin olive oil. And you can have that whole food smoothie with fruits and greens and some sort of protein powder if you wanted to do that. And similar for dinner.”

And then at some point, the goal is for them to own it for themselves. So in the morning I mean, he typically does some intermittent fasting in the morning, which isn't for everybody, but sixteen years old. He's working out, he's eating clean. He does some time compressed feeding in the morning. So that's something that's not for everybody, but it works for him and I, we both do it.”

“The things you quote unquote can't have, but really focus back to all the things you get to have and avoiding things that don't love you back isn't restrictive. It's self-respect for your body and really that's something that I've tried to do with my son and his sister is really focusing on foods that love and back. So if you want a day in the life of what it would look like, it's funny to see at 16 years old he starts to own it for himself. It's not this thing that I'm just talking about or a thing that dad does. Now I see him. He actually said to me this the other day. He said that like he said that very thing.

“Than the standard American diet may be, but not necessarily optimal, and my point would be in thinking about this is the lack of fiber. I think if somebody wants to eat whole foods and maybe get smoothies because the fibers then blend it up in sort of this fruit-based vegetable based smoothie, I think that has its place because the fiber will buffer all the fructose that's in there, the fruit sugars. If somebody's having copious amounts of fructose for seven days with no fiber, I don't feel like that's setting them up for success. Where do you go from there? I think after the seven days would be my mind. And if they have a game plan long term, because look, a lot of people have unhealthy guts. We know that. Sometimes giving your gut a break from all the junk in any form can be good. So it's not necessarily the juice that's the most healthy thing in the world. It's that you're not feeding it junk for seven days.”

“Yeah, so I get why people want to do it because we live in quite a toxic world and eat a lot of foods that don't love us back. So people are looking for some reprieve. But I find in many ways it's sort of like diet culture has knock its way into wellness in that way where it's like it's this yo-yo dieting of the 90s is now in the form of like juicy toxes where you sort of drink and eat like crap and you go and do a juicy talks. To me it's not what wellness is really about. I want people to have tools whenever they do fall off the wagon so to speak. I don't even like that term. But you know what I mean? When they're up against maybe a stressful time in their life or kind of have the busy and haven't been eating the best and they want to kind of find their center again. I think that's great. I think the juice cleanses juice detoxes probably aren't the way to go, I would say.”

“And higher homocysteine levels, even slightly elevated, is linked in the research to increasing the blood-brain barrier permeability, basically contributing to impart neuroinflammation. So people that are going through things like brain fog or different inflammatory problems or fatigue, oftentimes homocysteine is implicated in that. So for me, to get those levels optimal, bringing in things like wild caught fish and grass fed beef, and more soups and stews with like bone broth based soups and stews like collagen based things love my body back tremendously.”

I have a, not to get super sciencey on you, but I have a double MTHFR gene variant, which just, we all have different gene variants, right? But this is one of those gene SNPs or single nucleotide polymorphisms that we can measure, we quantify on labs. We get raw gene data from something like the different genetic tests that people get like ancestry or 23 and me. We can look at their own genetic bioindividuality. My body is not as good in that way at methylating, meaning that specific MTHFR gene has a lot of science behind it, basically I'm not as good at converting folic acid into folate. I'm not that good at bringing this inflammatory protein down called homocysteine. Many people have this.”

I could have supplemented with B12, which I was, and I could have supplemented with vitamin A, which I was, but there's synthetic mainly the retinol that you're getting from supplement form is synthetic. It's not in its whole food form. So the question that I pose to myself was, If I have to supplement, is it really the most ideal diet for me? So I have many patients that are vegan for various reasons, like religious and ethical reasons, and we want to make them the best vegan or vegetarian if they're vegetarian. protocol for them.

Exploration of being the Health Nerd and trying something new and feeling great and doing it in a whole food based way, and then evolving from it and realizing it didn't love me back, and just because something's better meaning just because something's better than the standard Western diet, which it certainly was, doesn't necessarily mean it's optimal. And it's okay to pivot, it's okay to evolve. So for me, I talk about it in keto-terian, but I wasn't getting the complete protein that I needed. And a lot of the proteins that I was getting really wasn't working for me on a digestive standpoint. It just was like a lot to digest. It was kind of irritating my system. And there were some nutrient deficiencies from a bioavailable iron standpoint, bioavailable B vitamins like folate and B12 standpoint, and true vitamin A, retinol, which you can.”

“Well, I would start with fiber rich vegetables because you're going to be cooking those in the soups. So he really could pick any of your favorite vegetables that you would want to be having, and then your favorite protein that you'd be having. You could do chicken, grass-fed beef, you could do fish, really, or a plant-based protein. And you could do what stock you want to be having. You could do the bone broth. You could do a plant-based broth, like a glangle or ginger broth or a seaweed broth. And just of your choice, really curating these soups and stews. And think of it again as sort of this nourishing, grounding, healing time for you in your gut. That's what I would do. So wherever that's at in the supermarket, go find those things. And then I would say fermented foods can be something that people could consider. Starting off low and slow because they are kind of potent things, but things like sauerkraut and kimche and kafirs, those can be good too for many people.”

“You're supporting your gut brain access, the connection between the two, which is innervating the gut. There's something called the migrating motor complex or the MMC, which is your gut kind of keeping the bacteria the large intestine and the colon, but your brain has to be the one that's regulating this bi-directional relationship between your gut and the brain and the brain and the gut. So breathwork and meditation. I mentioned the forest bathing huga like acts of stillness is what I call it in the book. Pick which one you want, but stay consistent with it. Because these supporters of the parasympathetic, these acts of stillness are hugely restorative to your vagus nerve and in turn your microbiome.”

So somebody that's going through a digestive problem, gut health problem, or has inflammation levels and suspects has gut-centric components to that inflammation, or they're going through things like anxiety and depression or fatigue. I really would implement, I mean, put a lot of recipes in the book so people can really learn how to cook this way that's really quite easy and it's an affordable way to do it. And you can batch cook it and really have it throughout the week as well. So that's one thing. And then these feeling action items of breathwork is huge for Vagal Tony, huge for microbiome health, is simple meditation, simple breath work, all the way to the holotropic and more of the advanced tools that I talk about as a really way to support Vagal tone.

“So it starts with the foods you eat. So, I would say that inflammatory four plus one decreasing those, and then focusing on foods that love us back. One of the action items that I talk about in the book is those soups and stews that I mentioned. It comes from what's called a gaps protocol. It's an acronym. It stands for gut and psychology syndrome or gut and physiology syndrome. So it's a food tool that we use with infunctional medicine, or at least I do, that's really helpful for calming a lot of gut-centric inflammation. And it's sort of a proverbial siesta for your gut because it's almost pre-digesting the foods when you're cooking things. Again, our ancestors would have known all of this because they would have, if you talk about just ancestrally soups and stews were a thing that people did, especially when you're going through a health problem. When you think of chicken soup and someone's sick, it wasn't the noodles.”

“Kind of made us, it kind of, we would not be here without the microbiome. If the microbiome all of a sudden left, we would not be able to produce neurotransmitters, we would not be able to have an immune system, we would not be able to digest food, we would not be able to convert hormones 20% of the thyroid hormone is converted in the presence of healthy bacteria. So the point is it is regulating these bacteria which are not us is regulating how we think, how we feel, how we operate, what we crave. I mentioned a study in the book where there's bacterial imbalances and many people's guts actually causing them to crave certain foods because it wants to eat what we eat. So again, this message of really, I think, grace in many ways where it's not your lack of willpower, sometimes it's just these got bacteria that need to be tended to improved so we can actually have proper”

“Most of its originating in the gut. So there's a lot of gut-centric components, both from a gastrointestinal system and nervous system standpoint, but part of that crosstalk between the gut and the brain and the nervous system and the immune system has to do with the microbiome, which is the collective term for all the bacteria and yeast and parasites living in the human gut, which we co evolved with.

“It's vastly important, and as I mentioned earlier, gut and brain are formed from the same fetal tissue, right? That's our gastrointestinal system. Within it, we have upwards, depending on the study that you look at, upwards of a hundred trillion bacteria in our gut. And it's sort of this gut garden that influences a lot of things in our body. As I mentioned, about 95% of serotonin is made in the gut, 50% of dopamine. So our happy pleasure, joyous chemicals, neurotransmitters are made in the gut, stored in the gut almost exclusively when you're talking about serotonin and dopamine. And these bacteria also regulate the immune system. So talking about the way that two-thirds of the immune system is living in the gut or an image.”

And then the plus one would be alcohol, which is really a saboteur to our gut feeling connection. It will impact our gut microbiome. It's been shown to increase leaky gut syndrome, really raise systemic inflammation, and it's a neurotoxin. Researchers have shown that even drinking small amount a few times a week is associated with lower brain volume, lower hippocampus size, which we need for focus and energy and having optimal cognition.”

“Would have been consumed by humans for thousands of years now because of the crossbreeding of cows, most casein is beta A one casein, which has been shown to be more inflammatory because of Gen of this evolutionary mismatch our ancestors wouldn't have consumed all of this. The fermentation of dairy can make it more digestible because it is breaking down the casein, the dairy protein in those dairy sugars. So things like kaffirs or cheeses and yogurts can be more digestible. And the fourth would be sugar and the overconsumption of that, but most people know that. But I would be more mindful of even the nice sounding euphemisms for sugar, you know, where it's like, oh, it sounds like agave nectar, I think of that, right? Agave just sounds so natural like they're squeezing the agave in the cup and just consuming it. It's mostly marketing because it's still sugar and it's still high in fructose.”

“That are not, this is kind of controversial for me to say in the health space, I don't think that they are inherently bad. I think they are just overconsumed because we need healthy ratios of omegas three, six, and nine. When you think of omegas 3s, it's like the healthy fish, right? People are like the healthy long chain omega fats you get predominantly from fish. People are not having enough of those in healthy omega-3s. They're having a lot of these seed oils that are in a lot of packaged foods. So I think it's just the overconsumption of one and not eating enough of the other. The third would be conventional dairy. By conventional I mean the average dairy that you're getting, the milk that you're getting at the grocery store. There are better versions of it when you're looking at grass fed organic A2 milk you'll see popping up because beta A2 casein is the subtype of casein that”

“I'm going to lose some friends right now on this podcast. But what I would call the inflammatory core for. Plus one, if I can, but would be gluten-containing grains would be on the list. That's things like wheat and rye and barley and spelt and sort of nuanced conversation about this. Is it really the grain or is it what we've done to the grain? I think it's more of what we've done to it. We're not properly preparing it plus we're hybridizing it. We're spraying it with tons of stuff. And then we're overconsuming it, right? We're overconsuming a famine food. We're feasting on a famine food that historically was stored well. And now we're always consuming it, let alone what we've done to the crop and the soil in which it's grown. But for the sake of simplicity, I think the average sort of wheat that people are consuming is triggering a lot of inflammation levels definitely doesn't love the human species back very much. Number two would be industrial seed oils, things like canola oil, vegetable oil, soybean oil.”

“Yeah, I think in most of the cases it's cumulative like that. It takes time. I mentioned that general statistic of most people that have metabolic issues, most people that have an autoimmune issue, these sort of end, like more diagnosable things, right? It's about four to ten years prior that things were brewing. So, yes, I think for most people, it's like that. But then you have the outlier that I think that goes to just such intense trauma and such intense trauma. Lost in their life that things could happen speed up, if you will, speed up that degradation of how the nervous system and immune system is regulating itself.”

“Between stage two and three, between the sympathetic that system hypervigilance. The vast majority of the human race right now.”

“Yeah, I mean, I would assume when you look at the statistics of chronic disease and the fact that you're talking, depending on the study that you look at, 60 to 80% of the West, US, UK, all Western countries are somewhere are dealing with some massive metabolic issues, which is very much stress related. Food plays a part of it because unhealthy foods that don't love us back is also stressful, but also the mental emotional spiritual stress of it. When you look at the phenomenon of insulin resistance, of which is the leading cause of heart disease in the world and doubles the risk of many cancers as well, that phenomenon of metabolic issues and hyper insulinemia or excess insulin and glucose issues. That's the vast majority of people. So the vast, you really can't have a regulated nervous system when you're looking at that. So I would venture to say that the”

“Trauma, shame our bodies are like cellular libraries where we're storing all of these things and the thoughts we speak we're thinking, the words we speak are literally stored in ourselves. And we have trillions of cells that are listening intently to how we speak and how we live our life. So that's what Polygel theory is talking about.”

“Polyvagal theory is a way to understand how trauma can be stored in our body. So there's three main in this sort of study of the human nervous system. There's the dorsal, vagal, sympathetic, the ventral vagal. It's understanding how upon this continuum can the human nervous system reside. So can we be in this sort of I'm in a state of calm and protected and am grounded and I'm in balance all the way to sympathetic fight or flight all the way to I am under threat, I am shutting down, I'm in hypervigilance. And the end stage of that is something called disautonomia or disaudonomia. It is when the nervous system is perpetually stuck in that fight or flight state, which is a diagnosable disorder. But again, polyvagal attempts to describe how these things exist on a spectrum to understand how things like thoughts in a moment.”

“Yes, exactly. And both are important Both are important. It's about, but many of us have a dysregulated nervous system response because of this sort of imbalance within the autonomic nervous system. And then the enteric nervous system is sort of the third aspect of autonomic nervous system.”

“After dark episode. Polybagel theory is, well, it gets its name in part because of the vagus nerve. It's the largest cranial nerve in the body, right? And it translates from the word wandering or wanderer and it sort of wanders from the brain down into the gut. And it's the main nerve that's responsible for our parasympathetic, our resting, digesting, our zend out, hormone balanced state, of which that aspect of our autonomic nervous system is weakened, or what researchers call a many of us have a poor vagal tone. Our vagus nerve is weak, our parasympathetic is weak, because our sympathetic, that fight or flight stress, super productive, always on the go type A is really strong. It's really overactive.”

“But I think so for the average person, you don't necessarily even have to think about it because it's just where you're at today. But I would say this. If you shift your perspective and almost give yourself a little bit more grace. Little bit more forgiveness and compassion to say, well, there are some big things at play here. And I see people up against seemingly insurmountable things that have gone through a lot of personal trauma as well as ancestral trauma break the chains of dysfunction, break the chains of disease and disorder in their life and heal not only themselves, but heal their families, heal their children's children, heal generations they'll never get to see. So I think it's how you look at it. Yes, it's heavy, but as trauma can be inherited, so can healing.”
