Gadolinium is a toxic rare earth metal commonly used as a contrast agent in medical scans. Doctors love it because it makes bones and muscles glow in the dark. However, autopsy reports have proved that the body retains gadolinium for years!

Many patients experience severe symptoms after gadolinium injections without knowing the root cause. Unfortunately, no FDA-approved cure or antidote is currently available. Today’s guest is among the people living with the effects of gadolinium poisoning.

Debbie Heist Lambert, founder of Living with Gadolinium, has spent thousands of hours researching this condition that caused her near-death experience and dementia. She shares valuable insights on the symptoms of gadolinium retention, such as brain fog, neuropathy, bone pain, autoimmune diseases, and skin conditions.

Debbie advocates for patients to exercise their right to informed consent before a gadolinium injection. Affected patients need proper detoxification and chelation to relieve the symptoms, and they need community support.

Tune in to learn about the types of medical scans that use gadolinium and your options as a patient.

“If you've been injected with gadolinium, you're retaining some. Whether or not you have a lot of symptoms and a lot of problems, that's to be determined.” - Debbie Heist Lambert

The human body has over 3,000 peptides that support different biochemical processes. Scientists have also discovered over 6,000 peptides in plants that are fit for human use.

What are peptides and which ones are right for you?

Awais Spall, a functional medicine practitioner, joins the show today to discuss the top 10 peptides he uses in his practice and their health benefits. He also shares his experience of how peptides quickly recovered his shoulder injury after everything else failed.

That experience led Awais to explore peptides, adding to his expertise in microbiome medicine and Ayurvedic interventions. Today, he shares the best ways to use peptides to regulate the immune system and improve the gut. He also recommends specific peptides for bodybuilding, skin health, a speedy recovery after surgery or infection, ADHD, and brain functions.

Where should you start with peptides? Tune in to find out.

Nutritionists recommend organic foods for their high mineral and phytochemical content. However, we do not pay as much attention to our daily diet as to limit it to organic foods. We need supplements to correct nutrient deficiencies.

But despite their nutritional value, supplements have potential adverse health effects. My guest, Mary Esther Gilbert, has studied supplements for over 40 years and found that very few on the market are made from organically grown whole foods.

Synthetic supplements lose the enzyme factor and other nutrients in the production process. Conventional supplements also lack the cofactors that the body requires to absorb plant-based nutrients. Mary also points out that some supplements have additional ingredients with potential allergenic or health-damaging effects.

We need organic and whole food supplements. Mary offers the alternative of DNA drops, which are superior to nutritional supplements and contain whole food components with active enzymes to ease absorption and digestion.

Tune in to learn how you can use DNA drops to detox, repair the gut, and relieve inflammation and pain.

- How phytochemicals in plants help with elimination and detox of toxins in the body

- The problems with the carnivore and low carb diets

- The issues with conventional supplements - synthetic, don’t absorb, don’t have the bioenergetics of plant based nutrients

- DNA Drops and how are they superior to other nutritional supplements - extraction method to retain viable healing nanoparticles from the plant cells, negative ions and submucosal delivery

- HPR DNA drops for the liver detox and support - how each botanical in HPR supports the liver

- How the MLS DNA drop is specifically designed to aid with gut health, which is key to successful detoxification.

- My favorite DNA drop SLD to reduce inflammation and pain
