0:00.0	For a woman's vaginal flora, that should also be acidic. And if it's not, you're going to see more urinary tract infections. You're going to see more bacterial vaginosis. You can see more yeast infections as well. So we will use bork acid suppositories. Or we will use a clove of garlic, unpeeled, depending on woman chooses to do. And we only need to do that for a day or two.
0:21.6	Like that's very, very potent and that's going to kill a lot of bacteria there.
0:26.2	You're listening to The Digest This Podcast, and I'm your host, Bethany Cameron.
0:32.3	Hey guys, welcome back to The Digest This podcast. I'm your host, Bethany Cameron.
0:39.1	And today I have Dr. Stephen Cabral on the show. He is a naturopath, Irovedic, and functional medicine practitioner.
0:46.7	And after going through severe health complications at the age of 17 and on antibiotics for
0:53.3	three years straight, he saw 50 different doctors,
0:57.0	tried over 100 different treatment protocols, and finally found freedom and healing

1:29.4	health is about size, but the real goal is strength. Those things rest on a deeper biological
1:36.0	foundation, your cellular energy system. At the center are mitochondria, the tiny energy factories
1:42.9	inside your cells. Every muscle contraction depends on mitochondria, the tiny energy factories inside your cells. Every muscle contraction depends
1:46.6	on mitochondria energy. Muscle cells are energy demanding and contain thousands of mitochondria.
1:53.5	Without energy, muscle cannot perform. Timeline developed mitopure, a supplement containing uralithin
2:00.1	A, and supports a cellular process called
2:03.2	mitophagy. Mitophagy helps the body remove damage mitochondria, recycle cellular components, and so
2:10.6	much more. Timeline has spent more than 15 years researching mitochondria health, invested in over $50 million in research and conducted multiple
2:22.3	human clinical trials to prove its effectiveness. I highly suggest mitopure by timeline. This helps
