Episode 136: Are Peptides Safe? The Science Behind the Hype, Risks & Natural Alternatives
Peptides are everywhere right now. From BPC-157 and TB-500 to CJC-1295, GHK-Cu and GLP-1 medications, everyone seems to be talking about peptide injections for weight loss, muscle growth, gut health, injury recovery, anti-aging and longevity.But what exactly are peptides, how do they work, and are they really as beneficial as the wellness industry claims?In this episode of Wholistic Living, we're breaking down the science behind peptides, how they interact with your hormones, immune system, metabolism and cellular signalling, and why synthetic peptide injections have become such a massive trend.We'll explore some of the most popular peptides, including BPC-157, TB-500, Ipamorelin, CJC-1295 and GHK-Cu, along with the growing popularity of GLP-1 medications. We'll also discuss potential side effects, immune reactions, unknown long-term risks, product purity, and the preservatives, stabilizers and other ingredients that may be included in injectable formulations.More importantly, we're looking beyond the hype. Can we support our body's natural peptide production and signalling through nutrition, gut health, microbiome diversity, sleep, exercise and metabolic health?Because there's a big difference between supporting your body's natural biological processes and introducing synthetic compounds to manipulate them.The goal isn't to fear peptides. It's to understand what we're putting into our bodies, separate science from marketing, and make informed decisions about our health.Save 25-40% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (10% off with this link): https://clearlyfiltered.com/WHOLISTICHOMEOPATHBeef organ sticks and beef tallow (code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contactINstagram: @wholistichomeopath

Episode 135: Melanoma Tumour Regression
Melanoma tumour regression is possible with immune modulation. I share this incredible story of a client who experienced tumour regression when we did immune modulation.here is the science:How Th1 Immunity Relates to Melanoma RegressionSpontaneous Regression: Up to half of primary cutaneous melanomas show some degree of histological regression, where the immune system attacks and destroys tumor cells, leaving behind scar tissue. Cellular Actors: Th1-skewed responses mobilize CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells to recognize tumor-associated antigens (such as MART-1) and destroy malignant melanocytes. Clinical Immunotherapy: Modern cancer treatments, like immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4) and TIL (tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte) therapy, work by artificially removing the "brakes" on the immune system, effectively reinvigorating a targeted Th1-type attack that can shrink or completely regress metastatic melanoma.A robust Th1 immune response is necessary for cancer regression to occur. You can support th1 immunity naturally and the sooner you do this, the better! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6133214/Save 25-40% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (10% off with this link): https://clearlyfiltered.com/WHOLISTICHOMEOPATHBeef organ sticks and beef tallow (code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contactINstagram: @wholistichomeopath

Episode 132: Antioxidants - The Science Behind Oxidative Stress & Cellular Health
What are antioxidants, and why are they so important for cellular health? In this deep dive, we explore oxidative stress, free radicals, reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial function, glutathione, SOD, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, Nrf2, methylation, COMT, SOD2 and the body's natural antioxidant defense systems. We also discuss how elevated blood sugar, insulin resistance, chronic stress, inflammation, poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, environmental stressors and mitochondrial dysfunction can increase oxidative stress and place greater demands on your antioxidant system. Learn how your body produces, uses and recycles antioxidants and why supporting the body's own antioxidant pathways goes far beyond simply eating antioxidant-rich foods or taking supplements.Save 15-30% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (10% off with this link): https://clearlyfiltered.com/WHOLISTICHOMEOPATHBeef organ sticks and beef tallow(code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contact

Episode 130: Why You Are Reacting to Everything Including The SUN - Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination
Have you reached the point where you feel like you're reacting to almost everything you eat, breathe or touch? In this episode, we’re talking about the connection between mold exposure, food sensitivities, extreme dietary restrictions, and Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE).I share examples from my practice of clients who have developed incredibly restrictive diets after dealing with severe mold exposure and environmental sensitivities, sometimes getting down to only a handful of foods they feel safe eating. While elimination diets can be helpful temporarily, avoiding large numbers of foods for years or even a lifetime is not necessarily the ideal goal.We’ll talk about why some people can become increasingly reactive, the importance of looking beyond simply eliminating another food, and the role that gut health, inflammation, the immune system, the nervous system and environmental factors can play in overall sensitivity.I also explain Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE), what it is, how a session works, why some people use it for food and environmental sensitivities, and where it may fit into a broader holistic approach.If you’re struggling with mold-related illness, food sensitivities, environmental allergies, digestive issues, or an increasingly restrictive diet, this episode will help you look at your symptoms from a different perspective and consider whether the goal should be lifelong avoidance or finding ways to support greater resilience and tolerance.Save 15-30% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 Beef organ sticks and beef tallow(code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contact

Episode 129: Glyphosate, Autoimmune & America’s Cancer Belt
Could one of the most widely used herbicides in America be connected to rising rates of cancer? In this episode, we explore the growing body of research surrounding glyphosate, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, and cancer rates across the United States.We take a closer look at Iowa and other agricultural states, where heavy glyphosate use overlaps with elevated rates of certain cancers, and discuss what researchers have found about glyphosate exposure and blood cancers. We also examine CDC biomonitoring data showing how widespread glyphosate exposure is among Americans, including children.You’ll learn about the potential mechanisms researchers are investigating, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and gut microbiome disruption, and why reducing unnecessary pesticide exposure may be an important part of a long-term approach to health.In this episode:Glyphosate use across the United StatesIowa, agricultural regions, and cancer ratesGlyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphomaThe research on glyphosate and leukemiaCDC findings on glyphosate exposure in adults and childrenHow glyphosate may contribute to oxidative stress and inflammationPotential effects on the gut microbiome and immune systemPractical ways to reduce everyday pesticide exposureIf you've ever wondered how environmental chemicals may influence cancer risk, immune health, and chronic disease, this episode is for you.Save 15-30% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 Beef organ sticks and beef tallow(code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contact
