Listener Q&A:

The Problem With Sunscreen (& What To Do About It)...55:15

Alex asks: There are a lot of claims from the sunscreen industry about its ability to reduce or remove the risk of skin cancer. From what I've seen, the rates of skin cancer have increased, as has the use of sunscreen. What are your thoughts on that, and what are some of your strategies in regards to using sunscreen?

Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Benefits...1:10:56

Steve asks: I've used the food-grade hydrogen peroxide in the One Minute Miracle every day for several years. I didn't hear you mention it on your recent water podcast, so I want to get your take on it.

In my response, I recommend:

-35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide

Does Hydrogen Rich Water Feed SIBO Bacteria?...

Kathy asks: I've heard you talk a lot about hydrogen-rich water lately on the podcast. If someone has hydrogen-dominant SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), is hydrogen-rich water or the tablets going to be a good thing for them to ingest?
