In this episode, Andy addresses issues plaguing healthcare and wellness. He exposes the profit-driven motives of pharmaceutical, insurance, and hospital industries, illustrating how they prioritize financial gain over public health. Andy debunks the misconception that healthy eating is inaccessible, showcasing how meal planning can yield nutritious options at low costs. We chat about the harsh reality of health insurance, revealing how deductibles and claim denials push families into financial turmoil.

[03:00] Healthcare: Profits Over Wellness
Andy highlights how the players within the healthcare system, including pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, and hospitals, have incentives that are not aligned to keep people healthy.  Instead, they benefit financially when people are sick or costs rise. Pharmaceutical companies profit from ongoing treatment rather than curing diseases, insurance companies may benefit from higher premiums, and hospitals earn revenue from higher service prices.  [09:00] Affordable Healthy Eating Beyond Fast Food
Andy challenges the narrative that unhealthy fast food options are the only accessible and affordable choices, particularly in food deserts.  Through an experiment, he demonstrates that creating a healthy meal for the same or even less cost than a typical fast food meal is possible. This highlights the importance of education in making healthier choices, even in areas labeled as food deserts. [15:50] The Paradox of Health Insurance
Andy highlights a concerning reality where even families with health insurance face the risk of financial distress due to medical events.  200,000 families go bankrupt every year despite having health insurance. This is attributed to high deductibles, where individuals must pay a significant amount out-of-pocket before insurance coverage kicks in.  A substantial portion of claims are denied, further exacerbating the financial burden on individuals and families. This situation underscores the inadequacy of current health insurance models and the need for reform. [37:20] Leveraging Collective Support for Medical Needs
CrowdHealth participants contribute monthly fees, which are used to support community members facing medical expenses or emergencies.  By leveraging the community's collective resources, individuals can receive assistance without relying on traditional insurance models or external funding sources.  This approach fosters a sense of solidarity and mutual aid among members, reinforcing the community's shared values and objectives. [50:45] Partnering for Health: The Role of Spousal Support and Simplified Meal Planning
Andy emphasizes the importance of getting your spouse on board with your health goals. When both partners are aligned in their approach to nutrition and wellness, it sets a solid fou

[08:45] Tap Water Contaminants in Skincare Products
Tap water, commonly used in skincare products, can contain various contaminants, including drug waste, such as antidepressants, heart medication, and birth control pills. These contaminants enter the water system and can end up in personal care products. Water-based products can lead to contaminants and other harmful substances absorption through the skin. This absorption can contribute to hormonal imbalances and infertility. [20:00] Oral Health & Industry Stagnation
Trina emphasizes the interconnectedness of oral health with overall well-being, highlighting how chronic low-grade inflammation in the mouth can have far-reaching effects on the body, leading to conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, and neurological issues. Trina criticizes the dental industry for its lack of evolution, noting that practices from decades ago, such as using mercury fillings and recommending fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash, are still prevalent despite evidence of their harmful effects. [26:10] Harmful Mouthwash Ingredients & Their Antibiotic-like Effects
Trina highlights harmful ingredients like alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and triclosan in mouthwashes, noting their detrimental effects on overall health. Trina compares alcohol, peroxide, or triclosan-based mouthwashes to taking antibiotics daily, emphasizing how these products can indiscriminately kill harmful and beneficial bacteria. [44:00] Detoxification and Symptom Management
Trina explains how toxins from various sources, including personal care products, accumulate in the body's fat tissues over time. We discuss the symptoms people may experience during detoxification, such as fatigue, brain fog, and malaise. She attributes these symptoms to the body's release of stored toxins from fat tissues. [50:20] Trina's Path to Natural Skincare Innovation
Trina shares how she discovered the harmful effects of skincare products after experiencing a miscarriage.  Trina's entrepreneurial journey was spurred by her husband's encouragement

Today, I am blessed to have Spencer Feldman with me for the third time. Spencer founded https://remedylink.com, which formulates and manufactures detoxification products for doctors and their patients. His company specializes in helping support your body’s natural responses to heavy metal toxins. 
We cover various aspects of gut health, microbiome rejuvenation, and the role of short-chain fatty acids in cancer development. Spencer emphasizes maintaining a healthy microbiome by opting for organic psyllium, reducing harmful bacteria, and balancing fermented foods. Additionally, we explore how dysbiosis in the gut microbiome can lead to the production of toxic substances. Tune in as we chat about what’s causing cancer and traditional cancer treatments.

[00:10] Opting for Organic Psyllium
Non-organic psyllium may contain high levels of pesticides due to a loophole in FDA regulations. 
Opting for organic psyllium is essential to avoid exposure to harmful chemicals. 
Alternatively, one can obtain fiber from natural sources like soaked adzuki beans, which help break down anti-nutrients.
[06:30] Microbiome Rejuvenation: Key Insights into Aging and Health
Transplanting the microbiome from a young animal to an old one can rejuvenate the older animal, suggesting that the microbiome's composition affects the aging process.
A toxic microbiome, characterized by inflammatory lipids, toxic amines, toxic short-chain fatty acids, and poisonous gases, can accelerate cellular senescence and contribute to aging. 
To age gracefully, it's crucial to prioritize maintaining a healthy microbiome.
[10:40] Optimizing Gut Health Beyond Probiotics and Prebiotics
Spencer outlines a hierarchy of strategies for improving gut health. Initially, the focus was on probiotics, but it was found that simply adding more bacteria wasn't always effective. Prebiotics, which feed existing good bacteria, were then explored. However, even with adequate prebiotic support, if there's no space for good bacteria to grow, the bad bacteria dominate.
Before introducing probiotics or prebiotics, reducing the population of harmful, gram-negative bacteria is crucial.
[20:45] Microbiome Dysregulation
Good short-chain fatty acids play a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions by fine-tuning cellular receptors. 
Conversely, toxic short-chain fatty acids produced by bad bacteria disrupt these receptors, leading to inflammation, imbalanced immune responses, and a range of health issues, including diabetes, brain fog, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Dysbiosis in the gut microbiome can lead to the production of toxic gases like methane, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia.
[30:40] Fermented Foods: Balancing Benefits and Risks for Gut Health
Some fermented foods may produce D-lactic acid, which can cause neurological symptoms, especially in individuals with preexisting gut issues. 
Additionally, certain bacteria used in fermentation can generate histamine, which may exacerbate problems for those with high amine loads in their gut.
[39:30] The Role of Short-Chain Fatty Acids in Cancer Development
80% of cancers are believed to be caused by environmental factors. 
Spencer proposes that a fundamental cause of cance
