Are your mitochondria functioning at full capacity?
Remember high school biology? You may recall that every cell in your body has an engine called the mitochondria.
Like the car’s engine, your mitochondria can lose power and performance through neglect and environmental factors. Our guest in this episode, Dr. Tim Jackson, is sort of like a “mechanic” who “works” on a patient’s mitochondria to help clean their cell engines, “oil them up” and restore their vitality through meticulous testing and tune ups. Dr. Tim is a functional doctor and uses a wide variety of tests to determine what is specifically causing a person’s mitochondria to “break down” (underperform.)
Like a car, environmental factors can take a toll on the wear and tear of your cell's engines. One significant factor that negatively impacts your mitochondria is mold. Dr. Tim shares his expertise on mold in this episode. However, Dr. Tim gives his patients many tests because he knows that if a patient does have an issue with mold - that does not mean mold is her only health challenge. Dr. Tim understands how the environment holds many different toxins. The various environmental toxins we all contend with cause mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic polymorphisms, poor diets, pharmacological side effects, and psychological stressors.
As you can see, Dr. Tim has one of the most comprehensive medical training to ever appear on the show - which enables him to spot any issues that are missed by the big pharma-trained, overly specialized medical doctors out there.
Take a look at Dr. Tim’s impressive background: His undergraduate degree is in Health Science and Chemistry (Wake Forest ‘03). Dr. Tim completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from the Medical University of South Carolina in ‘09.
Dr. Tim was not satisfied with only offering manual therapy and orthopedic care to patients. Sometimes a patient needs some other form of treatment, so he proceeded to study functional medicine and environmental medicine, along with digestive health, functional endocrinology, epigenetics, Lyme disease, and auto-immune/neuro-immune disorders to bring a more holistic approach to his patients.
There is lots of science on this episode, so put in your earbuds and geek out!
In this podcast, we cover:
What epigenetic polymorphisms are and how they affect your health What methylation is and its role in genetics and epigenetics The benefits of functional medicine over allopathic medicine Stealth pathogens and some common ones Dr. Tim is seeing today Dr. Tim’s thoughts on the mRNA “vaccine” How Dr. Tim uses multiple tests to figure out what is wrong with a patient The role mitochondria play in feeling good and things that impair their function Some of the tools Dr. Tim uses for his health maintenance, like his favorite air filter brand, etc. Some tips on bolstering your immune system
Tony Robbins Health Scare
Uber famous self-help guru Tony Robbins is a real-world example of how toxins in the environment can affect you despite your self-discipline and knowledge to live your life healthily.
Robbins has always been self-disciplined in diet and exercise. He also uses detoxification technologies and practices unconventional wellness hacks like cold immersion.
Not long ago, Tony discovered he had extremely high levels of mercury in his body through his diet. His mercury readings were the highest ever recorded in one person, according to Tony. Before his speaking events, Tony was taking blood transfusions. He didn’t know that mercury was building up to dangerous levels in his body.
Tony’s story is a wake-up call for us all. If someone like Tony Robbins, who never drank alcohol and lives an extremely healthy lifestyle, didn’t know he had mercury poisoning, how confident are you in your body’s health? Even if you’re doing all the right things health-wise, Dr. Tim says you need to get tested regularly in
