Balancing Minerals and Detoxing Heavy Metals with Jeff Lioon

Mineral Balancing and Heavy Metal Detox: Oligo Scan Insights with Jeff Lioon This episode discusses how minerals are the building blocks for producing vitamins, antioxidants, proteins, hormones, and enzymes, while heavy metals are generally unnecessary and can block mineral absorption through “ionic mimicry.” Jeff Lioon, creative director for Oligo Scan and co-founder of Ionome Labs, shares his background in holistic health, personal improvement through diet and lifestyle changes, and experience performing thousands of scans. The conversation explains mineral–metal antagonist/synergist relationships (e.g., aluminum with silica/boron/magnesium/lithium; mercury with selenium/iodine/zinc), and outlines three detox principles: reduce heavy-metal exposure, provide needed minerals, and maximize excretion. We cover common trends seen in clients (low zinc, copper, iodine, boron, magnesium; high aluminum, fluoride, mercury), issues with depleted soils and non-regenerative farming, and practical tools like Chronometer, plus nutrient-dense foods (liver, oysters) and sourcing considerations.

Understanding CIRS: Genetics, Biotoxin Exposure, Evidence-Based Testing, and the Shoemaker Protocol, with Dr. Eric Dorninger

Recorded in Dr. Eric Dorninger’s Colorado studio, the episode focuses on chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), aiming to educate listeners on what it is and how to identify and treat it. Dorninger explains his background in naturopathic medicine and the “therapeutic order,” emphasizing validated diagnostics over symptom-chasing and criticizing urinary mycotoxin testing as a non-diagnostic exposure marker. He describes CIRS as a multi-symptom, multi-system illness driven by biotoxin exposures (including water-damaged buildings/mold, actinobacteria, endotoxin, algae blooms, tick co-infections, and recluse spider venom) interacting with immune-response genetics (HLA, present in most CIRS cases). He outlines screening via symptom clusters and the visual contrast sensitivity test, confirmatory labs, and treatment with the Shoemaker/CIRS Protocol—prioritizing removal from exposure, prescription binders, and, when indicated, VIP to address brain effects—while discussing remediation standards, CIRSx, and the role of trauma/loneliness without reducing CIRS to “nervous system” issues alone.

Measuring Cellular Health with Ryan Encinas: Inside PRYSM, the Cellular Nutrition Device

Becca Golden interviews Ryan Encinas about nutrition, free radicals, oxidative stress, antioxidants, inflammation, and a new device called PRYSM. Ryan shares his background in cancer research and surgery at MD Anderson and his later training in nutrition, biochem, and genetics, arguing Western medicine excels in emergencies but often misses root causes tied to chronic nutrient deficiencies and toxin overload. He defines “diet” as a way of life and outlines six foundational needs: minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, protein, fiber, and fat. This episode defines oxidative stress/inflammation, and how it damages cell membrane permeability. The episode includes a live demo of PRYSM testing Becca's cellular health!

Understanding EMF: Dr. Ritter's Journey from Pediatric Neurology to Electromagnetic Field Protection

How EMFs Disrupt Sleep and Health: Dr. Ritter on Dirty Electricity, Testing Protocols, and Creating a Bedroom SanctuaryDr. Ritter, a medical doctor and pediatric neurologist, explains that humans are electrical beings and can absorb invisible electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from manmade sources like wiring, power lines, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and key fobs. He describes how he noticed external electrical activity affecting EEGs in pediatric patients and later studied sleep medicine and physics to understand EMF exposure, measurement challenges, and “dirty electricity” from household and neighborhood electrical loads. Ritter says EMFs can disrupt sleep stages and the body’s nightly repair processes, contributing to symptoms such as feeling unwell, headaches, nausea, and issues related to nervous-system signaling that may affect blood vessel regulation. He emphasizes focusing mitigation on sleeping areas by professionally assessing exposure with multiple meters and equations, then “capturing” EMFs with conductive coatings connected to a medical-grade grounding system rather than standard outlet grounding. 00:00 Brains Run on Electricity 01:01 Meet Dr Ritter 01:58 From Neurology to EMF Work 06:12 What EMFs Are 09:45 Can You Feel EMFs 10:32 Manmade EMF Density 13:55 Exposure and Dosage 22:11 Types of EMFs Explained 23:54 Dirty Electricity Basics 32:03 Sleep Sanctuary Strategy 34:44 How Sleep Restores Cells 40:12 EMFs Disrupt Sleep 43:04 Chronic Illness and Stressors 44:39 Heavy Metals at Home 45:49 Water Quality and ORP 46:57 Free Radicals Explained 52:11 EMF Symptoms and POTS 52:54 Low Frequency Cell Disruption 01:03:11 Measuring EMFs Correctly 01:05:03 Why Cheap Meters Mislead 01:07:20 Pro Assessment Protocol 01:15:05 EMF Patterns and Ricochet 01:17:10 Bedroom EMF Sanctuary Setup 01:18:31 Medical Grade Grounding 01:25:45 DNA Damage and Wrap Up
