Health and wellness are vast arenas, but a few figures cut through the noise with their pioneering insights and transformative impacts.
Dr. Joseph Mercola is undeniably one of them.
Hailing from Chicago, Dr. Mercola's multifaceted journey encompasses marathon feats and leadership roles at prestigious institutions like St. Alexius Medical Center. Dr. Mercola is the author of 15 books, with his most recent book, “The Truth About COVID-19”, being a national bestseller on Amazon, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. Three of his books have also been included in The New York Times Best Sellers list, namely Effortless Healing, The No-Grain Diet, and The Great Bird Flu Hoax.
In the 1990s, Dr. Mercola recognized the monumental potential of holistic, preventative health measures. This revelation gave birth to Mercola.com in 1997, a sanctuary for those drawn to a natural approach to wellness. Beyond being a top-ranking health website, it stands as a bastion against misinformation, challenging narratives propagated by corporate and governmental behemoths.
In today's conversation, Dr. Mercola and I get into the nexus between vitamin D and COVID-19, uncover the links between the modern American diet and mitochondrial damage, and traverse the intriguing landscape of Intermittent Hypoxia Training (IHT). As we delve into the historical trajectory of obesity and diabetes and explore the mechanisms of methylene blue and ozone, prepare for another discussion that is always fascinating and enlightening.

0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield, and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast. |
0:04.3 | What we believe the mechanism for damage from EMFs is because it catalyzes the release of calcium inside the cell. |
0:14.7 | Because the levels of calcium outside the cell are 50,000 times higher, 50,000 times higher. |
0:19.8 | So when it goes into the cell it's a powerful signaling molecule, what's the signal cell do? |
0:23.7 | It tells cells, once some of the things are it increases the release of superoxide and also nitric oxide. |
0:33.7 | And those are two molecules that they can get even close to each other. |
0:38.7 | They instantaneously form this reactive nitrogen species called pair-oxid nitrite. |
0:46.7 | And that is really, really damaging. |
0:49.7 | Probably collectively more farmer-damaging than hydroxyl for radical. |
0:53.7 | Hydroxyl, radical only lasts about a billion to a second. |
0:57.7 | This pair-oxid nitrite lasts a thousand times longer, so long that it can actually migrate outside of the mitochondria. |
1:03.7 | Outside of that cell and going to another cell run by a hundred, running around that law. |
1:12.7 | Faith, family, fitness, health, performance, nutrition, longevity, |
1:18.7 | ancestral living, biohacking, and a whole lot more. |
1:23.7 | Welcome to the show. |
1:32.7 | All right, so one of the biggest issues when you age, and you age poorly, is senescent cell accumulation. |
1:37.7 | They call them zombie cells sometimes. |
1:39.7 | They stay in your body long after their functional life, wasting your energy and resources and limping and screaming around your system like a zombie. |
1:46.7 | So this senescent cell accumulation can contribute to things like slower workout recoveries, joint stiffness and discomfort, |
1:52.7 | sluggish mental and physical energy associated with middle age. |
1:55.7 | And the thing is there are what are called senaledic ingredients, evidence-backed ingredients that can help your body naturally eliminate senescent cells. |
2:03.7 | So there's stuff called senaledic by qualia, company qualia. |
