    MARTIN: Hello, this is Martin Pytela for Life Enthusiast Podcast. And today with me, my favorite researcher into the “things health”, Spencer Feldman, the CEO of Remedy Link. Spencer Feldman, welcome to the show. 

    SPENCER: Nice to see you again, Martin. 

    MARTIN: Yeah, real pleasure actually. So in your relentless pursuit of making humanity healthy. You find yet another angle to pursue, right? 

    SPENCER: I keep trying to retire, Martin, and then I just keep going down rabbit holes and finding new things. So let me tell you what I found out this time. 

    MARTIN: Sure, do that. 

    SPENCER: So when scientists and doctors began to understand the importance of the microbiome to our health, which is the bacteria that’s living inside the gut that does so many things, and if you’re new to the microbiome, maybe, Martin, if you could put a link to our previous talks on the microbiome, that will explain to you why it’s so important. When we first all started looking at that microbiome, initially, the focus was on probiotic supplementation. I mean, people have been doing fermented foods like kimchi and yogurt for thousands of years. They’re helpful. And so that was the first thing that was made as a supplement in terms of microbiome. 

    MARTIN: Yeah.

    SPENCER: But then they started getting genetic testing advances and we were able to map out the bacteria in the microbiome. And what we found out was, even with a lot of antibiotics, it’s rare that a good bacteria was completely wiped out. Usually it was just knocked down and dormant, but it was still there. So yes, antibiotics and chlorinated water and pesticides like glyphosate really knock them down, but don’t knock them completely out. Even if you have 1% there, you can regrow it. 

    MARTIN: So as long you feed it, right? 

    SPENCER: As long as you feed it, right. They’re there in a dormant state usually. So that’s the next realization. Since the bacteria are there just in small numbers, let’s supply the prebiotics or oligosaccharides. That is their food source so they can increase in number. And prebiotics are really important to keep the remaining good bacteria alive. But what we found is that, and we make a product that you carry called Panaceum. And one of the interesting things about Panaceum...

    MARTIN: Hi everyone, this is Martin Pytela for Life Enthusiast Podcast. And with me today, Rehmannia Dean Thomas.



    REHMANNIA: Hi, hey Martin.

    MARTIN:  Hey, RDT Herbs. My favorite traditional Chinese tonic herbalist. That’s a whole lot of words, right?



    REHMANNIA: Yeah. It fits the purpose.

    MARTIN: I want to say, we don’t mention it enough. Like, those words that I just said actually pack a whole lot of impact that should be noted. One is herbs. Herbs are concentrators and they represent to us the terroir, the terrain they grow up in. So I would like you to speak on that for a bit. And then the second part is the tonic, which is which do you pick and how do you mix it, right?

    REHMANNIA:  Yeah.

    MARTIN: So let’s cover some of that so people get it in their heads as they’re listening to it, why this actually matters.



    REHMANNIA: Thanks, Martin. It’s a pretty loaded question though.

    MARTIN: Buddy, I know.



    REHMANNIA: Well, why do we call it an herb and why do we call food, food? Why do we classify them differently, right? Well, because food is very easily digested and assimilated in our digestive system. And what we’re looking for in food is your enzymes and various minerals and vitamins. A tomato grows over a couple of months. And in that time, it has gathered a certain amount of what we call chi out of the atmosphere and out of the sun. And it is a concentrated unit, a storage unit of sunlight of that chi. Then when we eat that, our digestive systems are designed. We have about a 24-hour turnaround before we excrete the food that we’ve eaten. So we have a short time span to get those nutrients out. And so the most efficient foods for us to eat are soft, succulent vegetables and fruits. And because those elements are broken down very easily with our digestive enzymes and the nutrients are drawn into the blood, usually in the splenic arteries, the nutrients are drawn into the blood and we call that hemoglobin. And then it’s burned is what we call ATP.

    Podcast 475: Healthy Gut

    On today’s episode, we’re delighted to welcome Steven Wright, who will be joining Martin Pytela to introduce our audience to an exciting new product line: Healthy Gut. Gut health plays a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, mental well-being, and overall systemic health. Dive into the world of HCL Guard+, Holozyme, and Tributyrin-X as we unveil their many benefits. Tune in and discover how these products can revolutionize your gut health journey.

    How to Do an HCL Challenge?

    Pioneered by Dr. Jonathan Wright and various Naturopathic Doctors the HCL challenge is simple and works like this:



    * You take one (1) capsule with your standard lunch or dinner

    * If you don’t notice anything, increase to two (2) capsules at your next major meal

    * If you still don’t notice anything, increase to three (3) capsules at your next major meal

    * If you don’t notice anything yet again, increase to four (4) capsules at your next major meal

    * You should keep adding one (1) capsule at each meal until you NOTICE something.



    NOTICE something means:

    Your digestive complaints normalize and you feel really good! If this is the case, stay at this number of pills per meal.

    MARTIN: Well, hello, this is Martin Pytela for Life Enthusiast Podcast, and with me today, Steven Wright, a man who calls himself Health Engineer. And he created a system and a company that I admire a lot. Because I’ve had the opportunity to try their products, and boy, do they ever make a difference. Hello, Steven. 

    STEVEN: Hey, Martin, thanks for having me on. 

    MARTIN: Yeah. Steven, I would really like to have our audience understand just how big a deal is what happens in their gut. 

    STEVEN: I mean, it’s the biggest deal, I think, but I’m biased. But I do think if you, however you want to slice and dice it or… I like to think of ideas in the world as like a diamond. On a diamond, there’s all these facets or sides and as you rotate it, you see different things, you can project the light in different ways. And so, a lot of the divisiveness in the world today, even in the natural health world, is really people looking at the same diamond from a different lens or a different angle. And so, I think no matter which way you kind of break the body down at the end of the day, all of our liquids and all of our food has to go through the gut. And also if you were building a character inside of a video game and you were giving a hundred immune cells to put anywhere on the body that you wanted, 70 to 80% of those immune cells, so the majority of all the immune cells are located in and around the intestines and the abdomen. And so there’s a lot going on inside the gut that is really, I think people are not aware of just how complex of an environment it is and how much it is doing for them on a regular basis and how much is connected to areas of their body that they don’t think are connected, like their eyes or their hair or their brain or their fingernails or a joint pain or something like that. And just how deeply connected and intertwined something that’s far away from the gut is actually related to what’s going on in the gut.

    MARTIN: Martin Pytela here,  Life Enthusiast, health coach. We should talk about chemical sensitivities or the environment. Last week we talked about nutritionals, specifically sweeteners. What is in your food? Well, the “what is in your food” continues with the chemicals. 

    Curious stuff has been going on since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, but especially kicking off after World War II. Lots and lots of chemicals have been added to the food that we eat. Some intentionally as additives and some unintentionally as contamination. The main issue here on my mind today is called environmental illness or chemical sensitivity. That happens to people, and more and more people are being affected by that. 

    Chemical intolerance caused by environmental exposure. Children are now becoming affected to the point where they are being registered in the national birth registry, caused by either solvents, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, things like formaldehyde, carbamate, nitric oxide, inflammation, superoxide. 

    The story goes like this: the food produced at industrial scale is being controlled or added to specific additives, with the intention of extending the shelf life. It’s an important thing, of course, right? Shelf life of food makes it less expensive. When your food is not spoiling on the shelf, you have less that you have to throw away. 

    I remember back when I was a kid, baking was fresh stuff, the white bread stuff. We used to have bread rolls and stuff like that. They were good only for one, maybe two days. After that they would be let go to dry and they were used in ground up baking as in breadcrumbs. Bread like sourdough style bread that would last maybe 4 or 5 days at most.

    But it was best fresh, right? We would buy as we wanted, what we wanted, as we needed, fresh. I remember milk lasted one day. Well, maybe not even a whole day. Even things like beer, when I was growing up, it was not pasteurized and it was only good for maybe 4 or 5 days on the shelf. It needed to rotate, it needed to be made fresh, and it didn’t have a long shelf life. 

    What had we started adding? Things are either preventing mold or things that are preventing visual spoilage, like brown spots, black spots, and so on. So some are antifungals, others are antioxidants. Let’s call it that. 

    The two most famous ones, BHA, BHT, they are added at a certain level. They have been established as .02 percent of the fat content of your food can be in BHA or BHT, which is “safe for you.” Well, it probably is. I don’t know,

    Podcast 473: Watch Your Water

    In this episode, Martin explores Dr. Ardis’s groundbreaking research on venom peptides discovered in the “safe and effective” experiment. Dr. Ardis’s findings reveal that these venom peptides are also being introduced into our water supply. These toxins impact the nicotine receptors in various organs such as the kidneys, bowels, brain, heart, ovaries, and testes. Discover the antidote and other effective strategies for counteracting these poisons by using purified, filtered, and structured water.

    MARTIN: Good morning. This is Martin Pytela, Health Coach at Life Enthusiast. Last week, I talked about the lectures by Dr. Brian Ardis. He originally released a documentary about “Watch The Water,” as in, he started discovering venoms. Venoms from poisonous creatures, snakes, and insects, and sea creatures like mollusks, specifically conotoxins from cone snails. Anyway, he started discovering them in water. And he realized that the military-funded research has made it into companies, one of them is famously named Gilead. Other companies are manufacturing these snake and other toxins in the form of peptides.

    And these peptides are able to be packaged into what’s known as plasmid. And this plasmid is a tiny packet of DNA that is surrounded by the mRNA delivery technology that’s essentially liposomal. A whole bunch of words about technical, how this is put together. But the bottom line of it is that it is made by bacteria that have been genetically modified or by molds or fungus that have been genetically modified or yeast. And these things, once they are delivered into the human body, are infinitely reproducible and reproducing. Unlike other things that we naturally encounter for which there is an on and off switch, as in a gene. Every gene that we have genetically in us has a signal that turns it on and signal that turns it off. 

    This new technology that has been developed in labs and released out into the wild doesn’t have an off switch. Once in, it just continues to work and continues to reproduce and continues to affect the physiology of the humans and probably other animals like dogs, cats, horses, goats, and everything else that it gets into. This is an experiment that may prove to be quite destructive to many things. Anyway, what Dr. Ardis explained is that these things can be aerosolized, and aerosol is something that is small enough that it will float in the air. 

    There are two competing theories of how illness happens. One of the theories is the seed theory or Germ theory. They declare that seed is always the dominant feature and by that they say is that the germ being the equivalent of the seed falls in wherever it may fall in and always will bloom into the plant that it was meant to becom...

    CHARLLES: Well, thank you for having me. It’s a true pleasure. I also enjoyed our previous conversation. 

    MARTIN: Hi, everyone. This is Martin Pytela, and with me today, Charlles Bohdy. And Charlles comes to me with a very, very interesting story. He and I talked, and we’re going to do a bit of a repeat of that because the world needs to know people like Charlles. Charlles Bohdy, welcome to Life Enthusiast podcast. 

    MARTIN: Great. Yeah, it takes one to know one, doesn’t it?

    CHARLLES: Yes, sir.

    MARTIN: We call it a meeting agenda, what we want to cover. Did you want to lead in?

    CHARLLES: Yeah.

    MARTIN: Why does the world need to know about what we have to offer? What is the matter with water that people don’t really understand?

    CHARLLES: Boy, I’ll tell you, that is a deep subject and a wet one, as my dad used to say growing up. And the real truth is that water is, it’s something that makes up 70% plus of our bodies. And it’s all around us. It’s required for health. You die without water much faster than you die without food. Air is the only thing that you need more of than water to stay alive. And in order for us to understand water, we really need to do a deep dive because we’ve been taught in school that it’s a simple chemical H2O, two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, and that’s it. It’s water. And we’ve got to drink it every day. And that’s about it.

    MARTIN: Water is so mysterious because if it weren’t liquid, you really chemically should think of it as a metal. 

    CHARLLES: And it’s anomalous. You know, water defies so many different things. There are so many anomalous features of water that it truly beggars belief. Its capacity to absorb heat is phenomenal.

    MARTIN: Yeah, the magical four degrees centigrade that allows the creatures that live in water to survive in water even when it’s frozen.

    CHARLLES: That’s right. That’s right. And we’re just taught to, we don’t even think about water. It’s around us. We have to drink it every day. That’s about it. Some of us that are water enthusiasts, we like to go to the beach or go to our backyard and enjoy our swimming pool. But it’s not something we give much contemplation to. Some people are paranoid about drinking tap water. So they buy bottled water from the store thinking that they’re doing themselves and their bodies a favor.
