• A New Hidden Link Between Oral Health & Whole-Body Wellness w/ Caroline Candace

  Throughout the years, I've had some biological dentists as guests on the show along with other health and wellness gurus that have informed us of the many ways that the oral cavity impacts our systemic helath. Today's guest, Caroline Candace, has some remarkable insights and innovative strategies that we can all easily implement to improve our oral health and, thus, our overall health. She has a fascinating health journey that led her to deep into the world of biological dentistry for her own treatments. On the other side of this health journey came Molecular Provisions, which offers an array of products and services, from a GI-MAP to an Oral Microbiome test to Advanced Oral Probiotics (those are a must try!).In today's episode, Caroline and I discuss her health journey and her experiences with biological dentistry, the profound impact of H. pylori on our GI and oral cavity, why she founded Molecular Provisions, why the oral lozenges she formulated (i.e. Advanced Oral Probiotics) are unique and have massive potential for anyone and everyone's oral health, her personal health and wellness hack and much more!​​Caroline Candace is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP) and Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner (ROHP) known for her integrative approach to wellness. She is the founder of LOOK Organics, an organic, vegan, cruelty-free personal care brand, and Molecular Provisions, a company specializing in premium-grade supplements, functional lab testing, and personalized health consultations. Through her platforms, Caroline emphasizes the importance of holistic health, addressing toxic load and deficiencies to correct molecular imbalances. She is also active on social media, sharing insights on integrative wellness, nutrition, and sustainable living.

• Red Light Therapy for Healing Tendons & Applying The Mitochondrial Triad For Fertility

  Every so often people reach out to me and request that I cover a particular topic, relative to our favorite subjects on this podcast. So today we are going to take a deep dive into some of those topics that were requested by some of your fellow TRLR listeners. The first topic is red light therapy (RLT) for tendinopathy ​(i.e. pain from overuse in tendons), where I discuss the mechanisms of how RLT​ has the potential to help heal this type of an injury, review the most relevant research and then provide some practical application for what a real treatment would look like with a RLT devce.The second topic is how to apply The Mitochondrial Triad for fertility.​​ I first examine the role that mitochondrial dysfunction plays in facilitating low fertility rates and then scrutinize how/why RLT, methylene blue and C60 may have efficacious, profound potential for improving and optimizing fertility — both from the female and male perspective. I also offer some practical application for each aspect of The Mitochondrial for women and men.​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

• Clarifying Misconceptions Surrounding Methylene Blue; Research: Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in TBIs

  Methylene blue (MB) has gained some massive exposure the last couple of months and is seemingly one of the hottest topics; and not just in biohacking and longevity circles, but even amongst general health and wellness enthusiasts. This exponential rise in MB is largely due to a handful of viral social media posts the last couple of months, which then prompted many influencers and/or medical professionals to voice their opinions and/or concern surrounding MB. There is some great info being circulated, but, needless to say, there is also a lot of misinformation being propagated.I wanted to take to the mic and address some of this misinformation and concern head-on. One issue that I see arise is around the quality of MB and, more specifically, the fact that MB can be derived from petroleum substances. Notice how I said, "can be." Yes, different industrial use cases may obtain their MB from petroleum-based sources, but is not the same MB that would be considered safe for human consumption. Also, there is a notion going around that you can make "homemade" leucomethyene blue simply be adding vitamin C to MB. I explain why this is a half-truth and does not lead to the same quality, purity, stability, bioavailability or effectiveness in mitochondria.The study covered in today's episode demonstrates how the mitochondria are being recognized as an integral therapeutic target for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). That would mean  a.) mitochondrial dysfunction is a large part of the brain damage (and, thus, recovery) associated with TBIs and, presumably, other head trauma, such as concussions; and b.) anything that can improve mitochondrial function, particularly things that can positively affect the brain, has a large potential role to play in the recovery from TBIs and other head trauma. The Mitochondrial Triad ticks all of those boxes.

• Decentralized Wellness & Optimizing Mitochondrial Function via Quantum Lens Wellness w/ Oksana Hansen

  I thoroughly enjoy taking deep dives with experts in the realm of quantum and circadian biology. It's one of the few times I get to truly geek out on some of the nuances of mitochondria and how light, water and magnetism impacts our wellness and longevity. Today's guest, Oksana Hansen, ticks all of those boxes and then some, as she has quite the origin story and health journey that led her to becoming a quantum and circadian health expert and, ultimately, a quantum clinician. So not only can she speak from didactic knowledge, but she can also pull from her experience treating clients.Oksana’s personal health challenges, including a cancer diagnosis, led her to become an advocate for her own health. This experience propelled her into extensive research, focusing on understanding the root causes of health issues rather than merely addressing symptoms. Her exploration into quantum and circadian biology highlighted the significance of aligning with natural biological rhythms for overall well-being.In addition to her role at Quantum Lens Wellness, Oksana hosts the “Quantum Lens Podcast,” where she discusses topics related to quantum biology, circadian rhythms, and holistic health practices.Through her work, Oksana Hansen continues to inspire and guide individuals towards achieving optimal health by harmonizing with the natural elements of light, water, and magnetism. ​​​​​ If you found the information in today's episode with Oksana Hansen particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.
