Mineral Balancing and Heavy Metal Detox: Oligo Scan Insights with Jeff LioonThis episode discusses how minerals are the building blocks for producing vitamins, antioxidants, proteins, hormones, and enzymes, while heavy metals are generally unnecessary and can block mineral absorption through “ionic mimicry.”Jeff Lioon, creative director for Oligo Scan and co-founder of Ionome Labs, shares his background in holistic health, personal improvement through diet and lifestyle changes, and experience performing thousands of scans. The conversation explains mineral–metal antagonist/synergist relationships (e.g., aluminum with silica/boron/magnesium/lithium; mercury with selenium/iodine/zinc), and outlines three detox principles: reduce heavy-metal exposure, provide needed minerals, and maximize excretion.We cover common trends seen in clients (low zinc, copper, iodine, boron, magnesium; high aluminum, fluoride, mercury), issues with depleted soils and non-regenerative farming, and practical tools like Chronometer, plus nutrient-dense foods (liver, oysters) and sourcing considerations.Connect with Jeff LioonInstagram: @jefflioonWebsite: https://ionomelabs.com/Oligo Scan: https://www.theoligoscan.com/Episode Chapters01:20 Podcast Intro and Guest02:32 Jeff’s Origin Story06:23 What Minerals Actually Do08:42 Hormones Downstream10:43 Minerals and Metals14:19 Ionic Mimicry Explained16:54 Mercury Fillings and Storage18:30 Cadmium vs Zinc Example21:34 Three Detox Principles25:10 Soil Depletion Problem27:55 Tracking Intake and Safeguards29:26 Carnivore and Scan Results30:35 Organ Meats and Metals31:12 Carnivore to Fruit Timing32:41 Women Carbs and Cycles33:49 Common Mineral Deficiencies35:44 Halogens Mercury Aluminum38:51 Detox Minerals Silica Boron42:43 Magnesium and Cadmium44:15 Oligo Scan Testing Explained46:27 Tracking Diet and Liver48:43 Supplements Oysters vs Liver52:28 Open Mind Health Trends55:12 Root Cause Wrap Up
Recorded in Dr. Eric Dorninger’s Colorado studio, the episode focuses on chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), aiming to educate listeners on what it is and how to identify and treat it.Dorninger explains his background in naturopathic medicine and the “therapeutic order,” emphasizing validated diagnostics over symptom-chasing and criticizing urinary mycotoxin testing as a non-diagnostic exposure marker. He describes CIRS as a multi-symptom, multi-system illness driven by biotoxin exposures (including water-damaged buildings/mold, actinobacteria, endotoxin, algae blooms, tick co-infections, and recluse spider venom) interacting with immune-response genetics (HLA, present in most CIRS cases). He outlines screening via symptom clusters and the visual contrast sensitivity test, confirmatory labs, and treatment with the Shoemaker/CIRS Protocol—prioritizing removal from exposure, prescription binders, and, when indicated, VIP to address brain effects—while discussing remediation standards, CIRSx, and the role of trauma/loneliness without reducing CIRS to “nervous system” issues alone.
Becca shares all the things that have helped her manage her lipedema!In this episode, she walks through her lived experience with lipedema—an understudied, progressive condition often affecting women—and explains common symptoms (symmetrical “tree trunk” legs, reduced ankle/knee definition, easy bruising, pain/tenderness, swelling, nodules, and resistance to calorie restriction/excess cardio), plus overlaps with vascular issues, hypermobility/EDS, and histamine-type symptoms.She shares all the conservative treatments that have made a difference in her lipedema.

Becca Golden interviews Ryan Encinas about nutrition, free radicals, oxidative stress, antioxidants, inflammation, and a new device called PRYSM. Ryan shares his background in cancer research and surgery at MD Anderson and his later training in nutrition, biochem, and genetics, arguing Western medicine excels in emergencies but often misses root causes tied to chronic nutrient deficiencies and toxin overload. He defines “diet” as a way of life and outlines six foundational needs: minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, protein, fiber, and fat. This episode defines oxidative stress/inflammation, and how it damages cell membrane permeability. The episode includes a live demo of PRYSM testing Becca's cellular health!

How EMFs Disrupt Sleep and Health: Dr. Ritter on Dirty Electricity, Testing Protocols, and Creating a Bedroom SanctuaryDr. Ritter, a medical doctor and pediatric neurologist, explains that humans are electrical beings and can absorb invisible electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from manmade sources like wiring, power lines, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and key fobs.He describes how he noticed external electrical activity affecting EEGs in pediatric patients and later studied sleep medicine and physics to understand EMF exposure, measurement challenges, and “dirty electricity” from household and neighborhood electrical loads.Ritter says EMFs can disrupt sleep stages and the body’s nightly repair processes, contributing to symptoms such as feeling unwell, headaches, nausea, and issues related to nervous-system signaling that may affect blood vessel regulation. He emphasizes focusing mitigation on sleeping areas by professionally assessing exposure with multiple meters and equations, then “capturing” EMFs with conductive coatings connected to a medical-grade grounding system rather than standard outlet grounding.00:00 Brains Run on Electricity01:01 Meet Dr Ritter01:58 From Neurology to EMF Work06:12 What EMFs Are09:45 Can You Feel EMFs10:32 Manmade EMF Density13:55 Exposure and Dosage22:11 Types of EMFs Explained23:54 Dirty Electricity Basics32:03 Sleep Sanctuary Strategy34:44 How Sleep Restores Cells40:12 EMFs Disrupt Sleep43:04 Chronic Illness and Stressors44:39 Heavy Metals at Home45:49 Water Quality and ORP46:57 Free Radicals Explained52:11 EMF Symptoms and POTS52:54 Low Frequency Cell Disruption01:03:11 Measuring EMFs Correctly01:05:03 Why Cheap Meters Mislead01:07:20 Pro Assessment Protocol01:15:05 EMF Patterns and Ricochet01:17:10 Bedroom EMF Sanctuary Setup01:18:31 Medical Grade Grounding01:25:45 DNA Damage and Wrap Up
From COVID Nurse to Plant Medicine Facilitator: Isa Allen on Healing, Sisterhood, and Finding Your PathIsa shares her background as a registered nurse who worked as a COVID nurse in New York, then left the medical industry after the pandemic for a deep spiritual healing journey that led to coaching, women’s work, and five years as a psychedelic facilitator, including time living in South America and later in Austin.Isa recounts a teen mental health crisis, hospitalization, rebellion, and finding meaning through spirituality and astrology, then describes nursing school, frontline COVID experiences, and burnout before a pivotal move to Mexico, sweat lodge ceremonies, and eventually ayahuasca training in Peru, culminating in a documentary and a transition toward creating integrative work focused on optimizing human systems.Get In Touch with Isa:Instagram: Isa_modernmedicine00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:18 Isa’s Background03:02 Soup Circle Sisterhood06:29 Early Sensitivity and Childhood07:55 Teen Depression and Hospitalization11:43 Spirituality as Lifeline17:25 New York Artist Years21:08 Choosing Nursing Path24:59 COVID Frontlines Reality29:56 Mythology and Mexico Leap32:50 One Way Ticket to Oaxaca35:06 Restless in Mexico36:33 Temazcal Sweat Lodge40:09 Apprenticeship in Folk Medicine42:56 Peyote and Finding Voice48:36 Ayahuasca Call to Peru52:12 Jungle Training and Plant Dietas55:10 Dark Lessons and Leaving57:31 Austin Return and Integration01:02:54 New Mission and Closing
In today's episode, I’m sharing a recording from OVER A YEAR AGO (Jan 2025!), which I recorded when I was living in toxic mold. I walk you through the various practices that I was incorporating into my weekly and daily routines to support my health and healing journey. From optimizing sleep and detoxing my environment to managing my circadian health and supporting my nervous system, I cover it all. Learn about my diet, exercise routines, and the steps I was taking to minimize exposure to toxins. I also share my personal struggles and victories, including managing lipedema and pre-diabetes. I’m happy to report that many of these habits have now just become part of my natural routine without even trying! And some of these habits I don’t have to focus on so much anymore. A lot can change in a year :) Plus now that I’m not living in mold anymore, my body is much more receptive to these practices. 00:00 Introduction to My Health Journey03:11 The Importance of Sleep and Circadian Health09:06 Detoxing Your Environment15:55 Supporting Your Body's Detox Processes20:47 Managing Blood Sugar and Nutrition29:02 Struggles with Healthy Choices30:32 Impact of Food and Drink on Health31:03 Understanding and Caring for the Nervous System39:23 The Role of Trauma Therapy45:56 Managing Lipedema52:15 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
