    [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

    #781 Revealing the Gut-Cancer Connection + Using Fermented Foods to Heal and Balance the Gut with Spencer Feldman

    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

Dr. O'Mara emphasizes the importance of reducing alcohol intake and improving sleep quality for visceral fat reduction.

    [14:00] Processed Carbohydrates and Stress: Impact on Visceral Fat Accumulation
    Dr. O'Mara emphasizes the significant impact of consuming processed carbohydrates, especially ultra-processed ones, on the deposition of visceral fat. 
    He notes that even a short-term consumption of such foods, like a weekend indulgence in pizza, donuts, or ice cream, can lead to a noticeable accumulation of visceral fat.
    Dr. O'Mara underscores the role of stress, particularly chronic stress, in promoting visceral fat accumulation. Strategies for managing stress are crucial for effective visceral fat reduction.
    To combat the negative effects of stress on visceral fat accumulation, Dr. O'Mara recommends high-intensity physical exercise as an effective strategy. 
    [21:20] Harnessing Physiological Stressors for Health Optimization
    Dr. O'Mara discusses the concept of stress hormesis, emphasizing the importance of stressors for health optimization.
    He suggests engaging in high-intensity exercises like sprinting or weightlifting to trigger beneficial physiological responses.
    While physiological stressors can be beneficial, emotional or cognitive stressors, such as tense interpersonal encounters, may not produce the same positive effects.
    Dr. O'Mara highlights the need for primarily physiological stressors to reduce cortisol levels and promote visceral fat elimination. 
    [28:00] Alcohol, Sleep, and Visceral Fat Reduction
    Dr. O'Mara underscores the detrimental effects of alcohol consumption on visceral fat accumulation. 
    He emphasizes the importance of eliminating alcohol intake for visceral fat reduction, noting the significant improvements observed in himself and his clients upon cutting out alcohol.
    Dr. O'Mara draws attention to the gradual realization of the negative impacts of alcohol consumption through lifestyle changes.
    Dr. O'Mara highlights the importance of quality sleep in preventing visceral fat. Impaired sleep, often caused by conditions like obstructive sleep apnea or benign prostatic hypertrophy, can contribute to visceral fat deposition.
    [37:10] Unlocking Optimal Health: The Power of Health Stacking
    Rather than advocating for a single dietary or exercise approach, Dr. O'Mara emphasizes the effectiveness of multiple lifestyle strategies for optimal health.
    He encourages individuals to adopt a holistic approach by integrating various practices such as dietary modifications, stress man

Great podcast good descriptions just one “ correction”

Hi Ben love this. I just started keto and your pod is so encouraging. Just so you know ( recent episode 7 foods not to eat #770) it is canola oil that is called rapeseed oil in the uk / europe—- not corn oil. Still gross no matter what you call it. Your description of canola production is a game changer. From wikipedia Rapeseed (Brassica napus subsp. napus), also known as oilseed rape, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of erucic acid. The term "canola" denotes a group of rapeseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world.[2
