Please register your patients at - www.tremorstudy.com In this explosive episode of Pod of Inquiry, retired cardiologist and vitamin C expert Dr. Thomas Levy reveals groundbreaking research showing that over 95% of heart attacks may be directly caused by hidden oral infections — often from root canals and untreated dental decay. No pain. No symptoms. Just silent infections pumping deadly toxins into your bloodstream every time you chew. 🎙️ In This Episode, You’ll Discover: ✅ Why 100% of over 5,000 tested root canals were found toxic — more than botulism ✅ How these oral pathogens directly cause heart attacks, strokes, and chronic disease ✅ Why standard dental X-rays miss 75% of infections ✅ The one scan (3D Cone Beam CT) that could save your life ✅ Dr. Levy’s personal story of reversing chronic inflammation after decades of illness ✅ How oxidative stress links dental infections to nearly every modern disease ✅ The truth about iron, iodine, and the ADA’s biggest blind spot 💡 Key Takeaway: You can’t fix your health if your mouth is making you sick. If you have heart disease, autoimmune issues, or unexplained fatigue — your root canals might be the missing link. 📘 Based on Dr. Levy’s book “Hidden Epidemic”, this conversation could save your life — or someone you love.

Please register your patients at - www.tremorstudy.com Alex, a 15-year-old athlete lost nearly everything after developing Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) — until two surgeons discovered the truth hidden in plain sight. For two years, Alex lived with unbearable pain after a bike accident. His foot changed colors. He couldn’t walk. He lost hope. Over 20 doctors told him the same thing: “Learn to live with the pain.” Then everything changed. In this powerful episode, you’ll hear how Dr. Lee Dellon and Dr. Eric Williams uncovered multiple nerve compressions that were misdiagnosed as CRPS — and how their treatment gave Alex his life back. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 🔹 Why the “never operate on CRPS” rule doesn’t always apply 🔹 How multiple nerve entrapments can mimic systemic pain disorders 🔹 The critical role of diagnostic nerve blocks in uncovering the truth 🔹 When surgery can be a life-saving intervention for chronic pain 🔹 How family advocacy can change outcomes when medicine says “no” Why This Story Matters? : ✅For Patients: A reminder that sometimes chronic pain has a treatable cause. ✅For Families: Proof that persistence and advocacy can save lives. ✅For Professionals: A case that challenges long-held medical dogma. The Breakthrough Moment: Within 24 hours of surgery, Alex felt something he thought was impossible: freedom from pain. Today, 14 months later, he’s fencing competitively, heading to college, and living without the shadow of CRPS. This isn’t just a medical story — it’s a story of hope, resilience, and questioning the limits of conventional wisdom. 👉 If you or someone you know has been told to “live with chronic pain,” don’t miss this episode.

In this week’s Pod of Inquiry episode, I sit down with Dan Stachofsky—founder of Essential Energy Solutions—for the continuation of one of the most eye-opening conversations on EMFs and health I’ve had in over 5 years. Here’s What You'll Learn: 🔬 A Shocking Discovery Dan presents a graph of EMF frequency exposure over the last century—and when overlaid with chronic disease incidence in the U.S., the curves are nearly identical. This isn’t just correlation; it's causation with clear biological mechanisms. ⚡ Your Body Is an Electrical System 90% of light frequencies are processed through your eyes Blue light disrupts your hypothalamus, causing hormone chaos The result? Sleep disorders, digestive issues, and untraceable inflammation 🌅 Fix Your Sleep—Starting Tonight Want better sleep? Watch the sunrise. Dan explains how early morning light triggers melatonin production 16 hours later—plus 6 other zero-cost EMF hygiene strategies. 💡 Breakthrough Technology: Structured Light Plates Dan’s company developed harmonizing light plates that restructure the photons your body emits—restoring balance without blocking EMFs. Backed by Independent Research: ✅ 10-minute tests show EMF stress reduction, hormone regulation, and organ support ✅ Live blood analysis shows immediate cell improvement ✅ Agricultural studies show increased yields, fertility, and healthier bees Why This Episode Matters for Your Practice: If patients are plateauing despite perfect protocols, EMF stress could be the missing link. Dan breaks down: • How EMF amplifies other toxins • Tools to measure EMFs in your clinic • How to create an EMF-safe healing environment Whether you’re skeptical or already concerned about EMFs, this episode bridges the gap between fringe theory and hard science—and may radically change how you view healing environments.

In today's explosive new episode of Pod of Inquiry, I sit down with Dan Stachofsky - founder of Essential Energy Solutions - for what I'm calling the most important health conversation of 2025. Here's What Dan Reveals: ✅ Why your current EMF exposure is MILLION BILLION BILLION times higher than natural levels ✅ The shocking thermography images showing cell phone radiation penetrating 80% of a child's brain ✅ How 1700s doctors identified "neurasthenia" - the exact same condition we now call electromagnetic hypersensitivity ✅ The hidden connection between major technology rollouts and pandemic outbreaks ✅ Why 3-5% of Americans are severely EMF sensitive (and 30-40% are moderately affected) Dan's journey began with his premature daughter who suffered from primary immune deficiency. After seven years of constant infections and hospital visits, he discovered something that changed everything. The electromagnetic environment was preventing her immune system from functioning. What he found led to years of stability for his daughter - and breakthrough solutions that are helping thousands of families protect their cellular health. We're living through the largest human experiment in history. Over 1 million 5G towers have been deployed in just the last 5 years. 10,000+ new communication satellites are beaming radiation down 24/7. Dan explains the science behind WHY this is happening - and more importantly, what you can do about it.

In our latest episode, I sit down with Dr. John Cozzarelli, a brilliant podiatric surgeon who's spent years unraveling the shocking truth about hyperuricemia. His research will completely change how you think about this "waste product." 🔥 Here's What Will Blow Your Mind: ✓ 71 million Americans have dangerously high uric acid levels right now - and most don't know it ✓ For every 1-point increase in uric acid, your metabolic syndrome risk jumps 30% ✓ Uric acid levels of 9 or higher increase arterial sclerosis by 15% and literally cut a decade off your life ✓ That "harmless" can of Coke sends 90 of its 150 calories straight to your liver as uric acid ✓ Your hypertension medication might actually be making your uric acid worse (creating a vicious cycle) Dr. Cozzarelli breaks down the biochemical pathways in a way that's both fascinating and terrifying. Using a creative "Wizard of Oz" framework, he reveals how uric acid isn't just about gout - it's a systemic inflammatory cascade affecting virtually every organ in your body. You'll discover: ➡️Why uric acid has been found in prostates, corneas, and even heart blockages ➡️ The evolutionary reason humans lost the ability to process uric acid properly ➡️Simple dietary changes that can dramatically reduce your levels ➡️Why certain ethnicities need genetic testing before taking common gout medications ➡️How to interpret your uric acid test results (hint: "normal" ranges might be dangerously high) If your doctor isn't checking your uric acid levels annually, you need to ask why. As Dr. Cozzarelli puts it: "Is hyperuricemia really asymptomatic? You decide." This isn't just another health podcast - it's a wake-up call that could literally save your life - {------Sponsors------} StemRegen: http://www.stemregen.co/drstephen (Special Offer: Save 15% Using Code “SBPOD” At Checkout) Approved Medical Sollutions: https://approvedmedicalsolutions.com/ (Non-licensed patients can use code “sbarrett” for a 10% discount.)

What happens when a nationally-ranked triathlete becomes obsessed with human optimization and applies ancient winemaking techniques backed by modern science? You get one of the most fascinating conversations I’ve had in years. Meet Jim Pfeiffer — owner of Turtle Run Winery, former elite triathlete, and a health pioneer who was warning about seed oils and glyphosate long before it was popular. In this episode, Jim shares why he connected seed oils to the diabetes epidemic back in 2004, the shocking truth about heart disease before 1850, and how modern toxins like glyphosate sneak past your brain’s defenses. He also dives into how a devastating injury led to his triathlon career, the diet that fueled his performance, and how he still swims over 5,000 yards well into his 50s. You’ll also learn how your taste bud count can predict your wine preferences, how wine competitions are scientifically flawed, and why Jim’s wines don’t give you hangovers. His natural wines are made using traditional methods with zero artificial additives — and they ship to over 40 states. 🔥 Here's what Jim reveals in this episode: ➡️Why he connected seed oils to the diabetes epidemic in 2004 (when everyone thought he was "nuttier than a fruitcake") ➡️The shocking historical fact: heart disease was virtually non-existent before 1850 ➡️How glyphosate chelates aluminum and sneaks it past your blood-brain barrier ➡️Why sunscreen SPF went from 4-10 to 100+ (hint: the sun didn't change) ➡️How a career-ending injury led to national triathlon ranking ➡️The Zone Diet principles that fueled his athletic success ➡️Why he still swims 5,000 yards at age 50+ ➡️How taste bud count (500-12,000 range) determines your wine preferences AND career path ➡️Why wine competitions are scientifically flawed (he proved it with the same wine getting both gold and bronze) ➡️The "Ganzfeld Effect" that destroys your palate after 20 minutes ➡️How he makes sweet wines with arrested fermentation (no added sugar, no hangovers) Don't forget to use code POI20 for 20% off at turtlerunwinery.com - and remember, if you over-indulge, you won't wake up with a headache because these wines are made the way humans have been drinking wine for thousands of years. - {------Sponsors------} StemRegen: http://www.stemregen.co/drstephen (Special Offer: Save 15% Using Code “SBPOD” At Checkout) Approved Medical Sollutions: https://approvedmedicalsolutions.com/ (Non-licensed patients can use code “sbarrett” for a 10% discount.)

What if I told you that the chronic fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, and mysterious health issues plaguing millions of people all stem from the same overlooked cause? And what if there was a technology that could identify and address this root cause using nothing but frequencies? This week's Pod of Inquiry guest will blow your mind! Dr. Bernard Straile, a German-born chiropractor turned frequency medicine pioneer, has developed something that sounds like science fiction but is grounded in cutting-edge genetics research. Dr. Straile's "bio-scanning" technology can detect infections and imbalances energetically - before they show up on traditional lab tests. He's literally measuring the frequencies of pathogens like Lyme disease, distinguishing between acute and chronic forms, and targeting them with specific scalar waves that travel faster than light. 🔍 Discover In This Episode: ➡️Why 96% of people carry chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (and why doctors miss it) ➡️How scalar frequencies can "speak" to your genes ➡️The real cause behind Long COVID and unresolved infections ➡️What the "cellular internet" is — and how ancient medicine mapped it first ➡️How allergies, Lyme disease, and sugar metabolism are all connected ➡️The truth about bio-scanning tech that detects infections before lab tests Dr. Straile bridges cutting-edge genetics, ancient wisdom, and quantum biophysics — offering real solutions for those stuck in chronic illness. His IMAET System technology is available for both practitioners and self-help. If you're tired of managing symptoms instead of addressing root causes, this episode offers a completely new roadmap. - {------Sponsors------} StemRegen : http://www.stemregen.co/drstephen (Special Offer: Save 15% Using Code “SBPOD” At Checkout) Approved Medical Sollutions : https://approvedmedicalsolutions.com/ (Non-licensed patients can use code “sbarrett” for a 10% discount.)

Dr. Christopher Estes just dropped some serious knowledge bombs in our latest episode that will change how you think about testosterone – and it's not what you expect. This isn't your typical "just inject testosterone" conversation. Something alarming is happening to young men's health, and most doctors are completely missing it. Dr. Estes sees 30-something men walking into his clinic with testosterone levels of 100-150. That's not "low for their age" – that's catastrophically deficient for ANY age. In this episode, you'll discover: ✅ The "pyramid approach" to hormones that addresses root causes instead of just symptoms ✅ Why DHEA is the most overlooked hormone (and which test 90% of labs get wrong) ✅ The cortisol-testosterone connection that explains why stressed men can't build muscle ✅ Environmental toxins that are stealing testosterone from an entire generation ✅ The estrogen factor in men that nobody talks about (but could save your prostate) Dr. Estes is a board-certified OB-GYN, trained at the University of Miami, has a master's in epidemiology, and brings both academic rigor AND functional medicine wisdom to the table. He breaks down the science in a way that makes sense, debunks dangerous medical myths, and gives you actionable strategies you can implement immediately. {------Sponsors------} StemRegen: http://www.stemregen.co/drstephen (Special Offer: Save 15% Using Code “SBPOD” At Checkout) Approved Medical Sollutions: https://approvedmedicalsolutions.com/ (Non-licensed patients can use code “sbarrett” for a 10% discount.)
