Greg shares his powerful personal story of battling life-threatening health challenges, the prayer that led him to discover hydrogen, and why he believes it became the turning point in his recovery.

    Toxic Truths: Mold, Toxins & How to Protect Your Health

    In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Joe Nussma, a toxicologist with nearly four decades of experience studying how chemicals, mold, and pharmaceuticals affect the human body. We unpack how chronic exposure to toxins can silently undermine your health, why mold exposure is often missed as the root cause of fatigue and inflammation, and what you can actually do to defend your body. Dr. Joe shares his insights on detoxification, water and air quality, and how powerful antioxidants like Carbon 60 may help the body recover from long-term exposure. This conversation will give you a framework for protecting yourself from everyday toxins and making smarter choices for lasting health. Key Takeaways -- Chronic low-level toxin exposure can overwhelm your body’s defenses and drive long-term disease. -- Mold exposure often leads to fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory issues that go undiagnosed. -- Clean water and air are some of the simplest, most overlooked ways to reduce toxin load. -- Pharmaceuticals carry risks — multiple prescriptions (polypharmacy) can interact in harmful ways. -- Detoxification through nutrition, lifestyle, and antioxidants helps clear built-up toxins. -- Carbon 60 shows promise as a powerful antioxidant against oxidative stress. -- Stress itself acts like a toxin and can shorten lifespan if not managed. -- Small lifestyle improvements — in food, environment, and daily habits — compound into major health gains.

    Gut Health and Performance: How Your Microbiome Shapes Energy, Motivation, and Healing

    In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, I sit down with Anu to explore how gut health impacts everything from energy and motivation to inflammation, mental health, and recovery. We dive into how your microbiome diversity shapes performance, why intentional eating matters more than most people realize, and how stress, exercise, sleep, and even mindset play key roles in gut health. Anu also shares her MBHR framework: Microbiome, Brain, Hormones, and Reframing mindset, and real patient stories that highlight how small, consistent changes can transform health. If you’ve ever struggled with fatigue, brain fog, cravings, or stubborn inflammation, this conversation will help you understand why your gut may be the missing link, and what you can do to fix it. Key Takeaways -- Gut diversity fuels motivation, dopamine, and higher performance. -- Intentional eating is one of the fastest ways to change gut health. -- Stress disrupts digestion, raises cortisol, and drives belly fat. -- Exercise reduces inflammation, boosts digestion, and supports microbial diversity. -- Gut imbalances influence cravings, brain fog, and mood. -- Targeted probiotics and prebiotics work — but not all strains help. -- Sleep and gut health are directly connected to cravings and insulin resistance. -- Food is either poison or medicine — cut triggers like sugar, gluten, and processed oils. -- The gut is the lead domino: fix it and you improve inflammation, weight, pain, and clarity. Gut health isn’t just about digestion; it’s about energy, clarity, recovery, and long-term vitality. Fix your gut, and you set the foundation for everything else.
