(02:56) >> Our guest, Daniel Gonzalez, is a functional medicine expert and the lead clinical director at drdaniel.com. He works with thousands of people across North America to achieve health without a prescription. >> Dr. Dr. Daniel received his doctorate of chiropractic and has certifications in functional medicine, functional diagnostic nutrition, and so much more.
(03:19) With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Daniel has worked with the deathly ill, and utterly hopeless who were desperate for change. >> These were people looking for answers in a confused world. Eventually, his patients found that the power to overcome their health issues has been rooted within them the whole time.
(03:39) Welcome to the show, Dr. Daniel. Yay. >> All right. Thank you. Thank you for that. >> So glad to have you here. >> I love my >> I'm happy to be here. >> Welcome. We're so excited to have you. I met Dr. Daniel online and his information is amazing. And so we're just thrilled that we connected and we have him with us today.
(04:00) You guys are going to love this show. So Dr. Dr. Dana, I want to get right into something that I did see on one of your posts, which is the chemical diagnostic matrix. Can you explain what that is? >> Sure. There's I mean, there's so much to unpack with it. Not sure how far back we can go when we I like to talk a lot about baselines, first of all.
(04:19) And when I say baseline, it's it's really knowing where we're starting from. So if we're talking about diagnostics where somebody falls into the place of wanting to be assessed almost no one these these days nobody comes in a blank slate right everybody's just layered unfortunately >> no one comes in perfectly healthy >> parasite creep >> and when we talk about a diagnostic matrix literally where where do where where do you begin right well first we have to understand that the kind of stereotypical route is somebody goes to
(04:53) their doctor for their annual exam, they're going to get like a basic blood chemistry panel. Those results will come back for the most part clean unless they have disease and they're going to be told that, right? And we all hear it. You've heard it where it's like, "Hey, everything looks normal. You're good.
(05:08) " And they kind of send you on your way >> and you're like experiencing all these horrible symptoms and they're tell I mean that's >> Well, that's that's this the the crazy thing about it is that you the patient knows they're not well. the doctor if they we shouldn't judge anybody but you can just clearly see across from you that the person's not healthy but yet we just continue with this narrative that that things are fine.
(05:30) There's a lot of problems with the initial the diagnostic workup. We look at blood pressure as a single marker, right? One measurement. Go get your blood pressure checked. It should be looked at over time. We get our blood chemistry done again once a year. It should be looked at over time. The same >> over time.
(05:48) What do you like every few months or what's what's the protocol? >> Well, it depends on how deep you want to go. And for each of these, like I like looking at blood if I'm really trying to work on someone and helping them to optimize their health, I like to look at it every 6 to 8 weeks when I first start and then it starts to track out from there as we start to get things where they need to be.
(06:08) Think of I like to look at blood like the weather where if I gave you two or three days out of the year and asked you to tell me what the weather's going to be like next month, you're going to have a crappy forecast. >> That's a great analogy. >> Yeah. But if I gave you months or years of of data, you're going to have a better understanding of what's happening.
(06:27) And like blood pressure, I I'll ask patients to track their blood pressure two week for two weeks consistently, morning and afternoon, two weeks every few months just to check in and see where they are. that is a much better representation of your blood pressure on on that topic than the one time you go into the doctor and and and look at it.
(06:43) >> So you might be having a stressful day or just got out of traffic on the 405. We live in California, >> right? >> Anyone else here does that? Yeah. >> Will insurance cover more than one of those tests a year? What? >> Oh, they will. Okay. >> Dep It depends on It depends on your policy.
(07:02) So there's a lot to unpack with insurance, right? So it depends on your policy. uh depends on how it's coded. So the doctor knows how to code properly. Even if you don't have insurance though, and this is what a lot of people don't realize is paying out of pocket, paying privately for labs that you're tracking over time, the initial panel might be somewhere around $300, $400 out of pocket, which by the way, that could be a comprehensive panel.
(07:24) The follow-up panels, you're looking at anywhere between $80 to $120. So again, initially, okay, you you're you're getting into it and there's going to be a little bit of a higher cost, but as you start to accumulate that data, you can start to back off from what you're ultimately testing to get more specific on the things that you're really wanting to work on.
(07:43) And then of course long term, you're either going to pay to be well or pay to be sick, right? Or or or pay whenever you get sick. So that's how you have to look at it. >> Pay the farmer now or pay the doctor later. >> That's how it goes. Exactly. And with the di with with the matrix, we talk about a diagnostic matrix. I like to start there's four levels.
(08:01) I like to start level one is just self-help tracking. So again, when I speak about baseline, it's do you know yourself? Most people don't know themselves very well simply because they're not paying attention. And so self-alth tracking would be just like I described. You can go get a blood pressure monitor on your own.
(08:19) We live in a time where you can have easy access to CGMs, continuous glucose monitors, right? You can track your blood sugar. You can go get a glucose monitor at CVS. There's bowel movement patterns. There's sleep patterns. There's exercise patterns, your nutrition. There's a lot of these things that we can now track on our own, right? And just have a baseline and just try to map that with how we feel.
(08:41) So, I think that that's a very important starting point when we talk about diagnosis. I think somebody coming in equipped with that data is much more meaningful than obviously somebody that doesn't have that. Right? Right. So there there's a whole lot that I could do with that before we even start care. The next layer of a if we talk about a diagnostic matrix is is is going to be intake.
(09:03) And unfortunately a lot of times that that gets missed. A lot of doctors my mother told me this was two weeks ago. She said she went to her doctor. She filled all this information out met with the doctor. Doctor never even covered any of it. And a lot of the things that he asked her is what she already gave to him. It's like he didn't even review it.
(09:20) And the reality is there's so much data from that that you can extract that again helps you to understand where somebody is in terms of their health. >> Why isn't your mother going to you is my biggest she had and and she's great. She's amazing. She's super healthy, but she did and she she recovered from it, but she had breast cancer last year and so this was of course some follow-ups that she was doing, right? That she kind of got put into that. So yeah, that's why.
(09:44) But good call my grand bless her. She's in good hands with you. That's for sure. Yeah. Yes. No, she's she's amazing. She's healthy otherwise. >> It's interesting you say that because you're a functional doctor and it's like the western medical doctors who have to just take insurance only are so rushed, right? They don't get the time with the patients is what I've heard that it's it's they really don't have the manpower to do all that deep diving.
(10:08) And yeah, you're getting lowlevel care with these insurance companies that you're paying so much for. Whereas paying out of pocket, you know, you can actually go to the doctors like yourself that do take the time and and dig deep because it's it's a totally it's night and day the way they're they operate. >> It's a different setup for sure.
(10:28) I like to look at medicine. I mean, obviously they I have a lot of colleagues, a lot of friends, really good friends that are conventional doctors and they're amazing. They save lives, right? So, if you crack your head open, if you stroke out, have a heart attack, absolutely. We have the best doctors to be able to save your life.
(10:42) But unfortunately for everything else, I'm just going to say they suck. They're just not very good at building health. They're really good at saving your life and they're really good at the urgent care matters. And and that's where medicine, in my opinion, has its place is where if if you're that far gone, thank God we have access to all these amazing doctors that can hatch you up to to keep you going.
(11:04) after that the the rebuilding and the the building up of your health. That's where you have all the we have access to all these other forms of medicine that unfortunately a lot of people don't take advantage of, right? But but they're there and it's not just functional medicine. It's one of those, right? But there's a lot of different types of medicine that we have access to to work on building up health rather than again the acute care management of it.
(11:24) And we've interviewed quite a few doctors on the show and they've all pretty much told us they barely if even got one semester of nutrition in med school. So >> that's it's insane. >> Then you look at like Ron and I have been studying toxins, environmental toxins, household toxins for 20 years. That's not anything they ever cover in med school.
(11:45) So you're a lot of people, they've got that white lab coat. they're like a god and they know everything and don't really realize a lot of these people either weren't educated in med school on the things and or just stop their education, right? They're not continuing. So, they're kind of leveled off with what they learned that's really outdated because we have so many chemicals in the environment today and they're just they build daily.
(12:07) >> I mean, that's when I'm sure you all are familiar with environmental working group, right? They had a landmark study this the year that I graduated actually 2005. What is it? The 287 industrial chemicals and pollutants were detected in umbilical cord blood. >> The body burden study. Yes. >> And what's insane about that is that these were babies that before they took their first breath, before they ate their first meal, before they could touch their mother, made contact, they already had all these chemicals that
(12:33) were that were loaded. 180 some of them were known to cause cancer in humans. And half of them, I think over half of the chemicals studied were toxic to the brain and nervous system. There was follow-up studies though. So that was 2005 and then in 2009 I think it was there was a follow-up study. They found again it was like 230ome chemicals in the cord blood of of infants.
(12:59) They also detected BPA at that time. That was the first time. And then 2021 they detected microplastics in placenta of humans for the first time. And then that leads to today where we are in 2026. Now 20 years later 100% of us like it's in the US at least this is what we now know is that 100% of us have microplastics right whether it's our brain or our heart kidneys um >> yeah a teaspoon I think they said a teaspoon equivalent to a teaspoon full of microplastics in your brain the average person and the average person is ingesting 12 shopping plastic shopping
(13:32) bags worth of plastic a year or so to your point when a baby's coming in already polluted and then now lives in a more plastic world because we grew up there wasn't that much plastic. >> It was just Tupperware that was and now it's like everything is plastic, right? >> I mean, so all these chemicals, the the whether it's plastics, phalates, BPA, there's over 80,000 chemicals that are approved for use, commercial use in the US and only a handful, I think it's only a thousand that have been studied.
(14:03) >> Yeah, I think it's even less than that. Yeah. >> So, what we're talking about, these are the things that we know of, right? So, then that's I'm always talking about vulnerabilities. the blind spots. Somebody could come to me and they could be the picture of health just from looking at them.
(14:17) I look good and I feel good. What are you I always wonder what are your vulnerabilities and your blind spots. This happened with co right when you heard so many people that were just dropping and it's well and they would say well they were so healthy. I mean were they just point >> yeah this happened to me is not to digress.
(14:34) We're going to get into parasites listeners but I did an aggressive parasite cleanse. I started off and my motto was no worm left behind. Like I wasn't going to stop until >> I didn't see I was doing these fulvic acid foot soaks so I could see the parasites coming out of my feet in this well I could see them in the foot bath. Not coming out but in the foot bath and so that was like wo shocking, eyeopening, riveting, upsetting, emotional all of those things because I thought I was a perfect bill of health just like you said. My labs came back
(15:05) perfect, but I I was noticing a lot of fatigue and bloating and things that just weren't making sense. And so this parasite cleanse literally opened a can of worms to oh my god, I can get into it later, but it wre havoc on my system and I didn't know what was going on. It actually made things worse.
(15:25) And you went through a really good explanation in our in our consult, which I'm going to tell you guys about. Dr. Dr. Daniel offers a free consult that if you're struggling, you have to do this because he he is so intelligent with this stuff. You told me things that nobody's ever told me. I went to so many doctors trying to figure out what was causing this and they just look at you like I don't know.
(15:44) I guess stop parasite cleansing. But that that it was too late. I had already opened up all of these underlying things that you're talking about. So we can get we can go back to that later. >> We still finish on the chemical diagnostic matrix. I think I think we're the intake with your your mom, right? Intake was the step two then three.
(16:03) >> Yeah. So, we get to you you first have your kind of self-health tracking and then I would say there's a comprehensive intake that's important and I bring this up because right now we have the rise of direct to consumer labs which I think are great like function health superpower.
(16:17) There's a lot of kind of self tracking which I love open access to things but there's context that could also be missing there that the interpretation part of it and so through a proper intake really what happens I've got this functional assessment form that I'll have patients complete and these are just a bunch of different questions you know your body better than anybody you're best doctor you just may not think to say something to a doctor which is important because that can be mapped back to a system and so part of that intake extreme extremely important
(16:45) there's just a bunch of different questions that again it's like asking you about your body, right? Just different things, certain tastes, certain smells, what you notice in the bathroom, things like that that are all very very important because this all puts together the potential of what systems are are abnormal before again we even do any kind of testing.
(17:03) And so you you map all that together. That then leads to the first what I would call objective assessment which would be a functional blood chemistry panel that again most people have not had. Like everybody gets blood chemistry done and that's just looking at those markers as this is high or this is low and then again you're told normal.
(17:24) Uh functional blood chemistry analysis is where you're looking at patterns of how these things fit together. And this is where a lot of things can get missed. And it's very common for a patient to tell me, "Oh, I went to my doctor. They did all this testing. Yes, they said I was normal." And then when I study those labs, it's like right there.
(17:43) It's it's showing you that there's the problem that they've been experiencing just because it was missed because they were only looking at single values by themselves and not really paying attention to patterns of how our body all works together. So that's an important part of the the picture there. from your functional blood chemistry analysis combined with again how you map all the symptoms together and all that.
(18:03) Now you've got arrows pointing into a certain direction that tells you where your systems are dysfunctional and what needs to be worked on and that leads to intervention of whether that's diet or life lifestyle u supplements sometimes medication just depends on the person and that's kind of the the first steps for what you want to talk about or what I think you want to talk about with toxins or cosmetic toxins or environmental toxins parasites included I think a very important step before we do any kind of detoxification protocol whether we're talking about
(18:32) parasites or chemicals is determined not just whether you have it right everybody always wants to know do I have heavy metals do I have plastics or glyphosate in my body like that chances are you do what what matters is how is it affecting your body is your immune system reacting to it and I think that's that's a very important question that always gets missed or not even thought of like parasites for example and a lot of people don't realize this parasites are a problem they can cause issues but there's also plenty of research that has
(19:02) shown that parasites can exist within our body and it's not doing anything. It's not causing any kind of imu immune response. There's there's no activity. It's not disturbing your system. They're just there. They're dormant. And I'm guilty of this, by the way, years ago when I didn't know any better.
(19:18) You can try to treat that if you identify it and you can actually cause problems. And so, very important to kind of to again have a baseline of where this person is and what is really throwing their systems off. So immune reactivity and assessing whether or not the chemical toxin in question is causing a problem is very important.
(19:40) Again, not just seeing if it's there. >> But isn't it true though if there's parasites present even they're not causing an inflammation or some sort of response in the body that they might cause a problem later and you probably still should remove them. It >> it's it's possible, right? And here's where it's so complex. Yeah, that's that's so true.
(19:58) And you can't, we're all so different and we all come from different parts of the world, different walks of life. We have different physiologies, different layers of Are you familiar with the exposome? Is that a term you've ever exposed with X-Men? X-Men document. >> Yeah, >> I love it. Well, okay. Exposome is the totality environmental so external environment inputs what I choose to put into my body through food or supplements or medications whatever that is and then how all of that altogether is affecting my being. So that this is the way that
(20:36) scientists try to understand they call it the exposome the way that we try to understand inputs into a human and then the output the the whatever it can cause and what it turns out it's very complex right let's say something like genetics parasites some people naturally have an ability to detox just really well other people do not and I can't take two people you both have a certain parasite, the same parasite, and the treatment isn't necessarily going to be the same because they're coming, they have different systems of operation. And
(21:12) again, most doctors are not going to that depth, right? It's just, oh, you've got this. Okay, it's like antibiotics. Oh, you've got this bug. Here you go. Take this medicine. And that's just standard treatment. It doesn't necessarily apply to everybody, right? Everybody, it just depends on what's going on.
(21:29) And that's why you have to map the different systems of our body. What's your kidney doing? What's your blood sugar regulation look like? What does your inflammation status look like? Your immune markers. Understanding all that is what allows you to then effectively treat that individual in the best way. And that's all. >> And your blood tests, do you start with a typical what is it called? A CB CBC or whatever.
(21:49) Do you do that or is your blood test completely different? >> So I have a what I'll call a baseline panel which I can almost guarantee that everybody I'm going to run. Again, when I work with somebody, I do go through all the intake process, look at whatever data they have, and then that leads me to what tests I'm going to I'm going to put together.
(22:06) >> Okay. Based on See, that's in That's great because normally I think doctors do it the opposite, right? Like you said, >> I don't get it. Yeah. I mean, >> we're going to do the blood test first before we know anything about you. Yeah. >> It doesn't And even I don't want to every doctor can practice how they want, but there's even functional doctors where it's like they're going to order all these tests.
(22:25) It's like they're going to do microbiome study and heavy metal studies and I mean all kinds, right? You can end up with $8,000 worth of test. Like >> so expensive. >> Do you need all that? >> They act like it's no big deal. At least for me. I had to do some really expensive GI mapping tests, stool tests, which basically showed nothing anyway.
(22:42) They all came back normal. And yeah, these tests, I get the bill and I'm like, "Oh my god, this thing's almost $600." The doctor's prescribing like, "Oh yeah, no. Yeah, you want that. Boom. You want that?" after you've already spent thousands and thousands on whatever. So, always ask guys, ask your doctor how much this lab is when they're ordering you specialty labs because they don't tell you and you get the kit maybe at your home and you send it off and then you get this bill that you did not know was coming.
(23:08) >> It happens so much and we don't we actually our company again I can't speak for every practice out there but you will know exactly what the test is going to cost for all functional tests that are not covered by insurance. Sometimes insurance will cover things and if they don't I'm my company makes no money off testing.
(23:24) So literally whatever the lab charges us we just pass that on to our patient and right this is what we're testing why we're testing and then you you make the the call on whether you want to proceed. Um I like to talk about I always say blood guts and hormones meaning you start start with blood right that's a good that's your foundation and again I have a baseline panel CBC metabolic panel and some nutrient markers inflammation markers.
(23:48) So, it's more extensive than your typical handle that you get at a GP. But then there's additional markers that I'll order >> again through blood at a traditional lab, Quest, Lab Corp, all that depending on you, depending on what I've identified from what you've shared and and that just again that can be I mean there's so many different markers out there, so many different tests, but blood first.
(24:11) That data comes back, study it, see what's going on. Are there lowhanging fruits? Are there fundamental foundational things that we can work on improving? Again, detox. Before I put you on a detox, are you able to detox? Is do you have all the co-actors and the requirements needed? If I do have you detox, do you have everything you need? And and all that support and open Yeah, that's that's kind of what happened to me.
(24:36) I had to go backwards and start doing things in reverse. It was a nightmare. Honestly, what I went through was an absolute nightmare. I haven't really talked about it on the show yet, but it was over a year of pretty much being in chronic pain from parasite cleansing. And the parasite cleansing, it's very buttoned up on social media. Boop, take the cleanse and you'll be good and one and done.
(24:54) And it's it's what's the word? It's just not true. Like what you're talking about. There's so much more to it. There's so much more that needs to be discussed before you go embarking on a lot of these things. >> Did you do multiple rounds or was it a big long round of taking antiparasitics? I did multiple rounds.
(25:10) So, it was supposed to be 30 days. Then I went to then I was like, "Oh, I'm I'm seeing these parasites and my foot soaked. I'm going to continue." So, then I did then I did 60. Then I did 90. Then I did 120. And the problems really started rearing their ugly head around the 90 to 120 day mark.
(25:28) The I was fine the first few and then everything started going haywire. My body just went into complete overload. I would tremor at night. My whole body would be shaking >> cuz it was just obviously having such a hard time processing. And yeah, >> did you have any blood done in between? I'm just curious. >> Well, I had, ironically, I had three parasite tests and they all come back negative.
(25:46) Meanwhile, I can see physically see I have all the pictures and videos. I can see the parasites and they're like, "No, you have none." I did an organic acids test that came back negative. Everything was coming back like there's nothing wrong with you. So, I was in that cycle that you're talking about where I just felt so hopeless.
(25:59) Ron knows I'd be balling my eyes out. I don't know what to do. I've spent so much money and I'm not getting answers and I'm so I'm I'm around the corner a bit. But yeah, I would love to work with you because I I don't think I'm totally out of the woods yet. >> There's it's like you go to town getting rid of stuff, right? So you're putting the fire out, killing things off, and then you've got to rebuild your body, right? So it's kind of it's like working out.
(26:23) You go work out, you have a hard workout, and you're going to have to recover so that way you can then get back at it. And that's really the process there. And again, like I said, everybody's so different. You can you have different systems that need to be monitored in order to prevent that kind of die off Herxheimer type symptoms that people experience. It is good.
(26:40) I mean, if they're causing a burden, obviously on one side, it's good for you to to eliminate them. But it can be done to where you have a soft landing and you're not just like >> like Ron Ron, I mean, good example of everybody's different because Ron had nothing weird happen and he was taking the same doses as me.
(26:54) Absolutely no reactions like me. >> A little different. Well, I would feel fatigued or something every once in a while, but not like not like of course. Yes, I do feel blessed. However, I do feel like from that experience, I was better for it cuz Lisa's always been canary in the coal mine for us that way. >> Yeah, I'm the sensitive one.
(27:10) And I know you know this, Dr. Daniel, some patients that they're going to react to everything like right away, right? I mean, that's me. So, I'll I'll notice something's toxic before Ronda. >> I do start to think though, it's like when that happens, when I have somebody that is sensitive, again, you you have to think about why is this individual lost resilience or why why are they so vulnerable? Is there something that can be done to increase that resilience? Just like if you have no endurance, but you don't ever exercise it or practice
(27:38) that, well then that's why. So then we can work on it. But there's obviously some people that just do better naturally, have really good endurance without training. So that that's where we all have different buckets and but those are things that can be evaluated through. >> We're vegan.
(27:53) We're vegan. We eat only organic. We obviously live in a completely non-toxic environment including EMFs and all of that. You look at me who is struggling with that and then you can see a really toxic person who's eating fast food and not doing any of that and like you said has this like strong stamina and resilience. So it just goes to show our bodies are just so complex, right? >> We're all so different and and again maybe on the outside they look well but >> yeah I know that fast food's going to catch up with that.
(28:18) >> Yeah. Yeah. They're so so misleading. We if you ask anyone if you any of your participants or people you talk to like how do you how do you know whether you're healthy? What do you think the most common answer is going to be? Like if you you know what do you think? >> Energy.
(28:31) I would say energy if you have a lot of >> Okay, that's a good one. That's functional. Yeah. What do you think, Ron? What would you what what did you think right away? >> What I I guess they they look fine, right? >> They don't get a cold. Maybe they don't get cold. >> So the number one because again I do this everywhere. I do give a lot of public talks and things like but yes if you ask in in front most of the time it's say well do I look good? Do they look good? Do I feel good? So we largely base our health on how we look or feel, not how we're functioning. Energy I
(28:57) would consider to be part of functions. Okay, that's that's a little bit better. Yeah. Like how much can you take? How much can you It's like if if somebody and it's great obviously we should be practicing healthy lifestyle, eating organic food when you can, exercising as much as you can, shopping at all the right places, but if you go and you eat at I'm just going to say if you have to eat at a gas station and that throws you under for several days because you went a little bit off of your normal that's there's no resilience there.
(29:25) >> Does that make sense? >> Bounce back from that, right? >> And I would think that somebody that's doing all the right things, you should be so strong, right? you should be able to handle a whole lot >> to carry load. And and that's important. That's that's often missed when we're doing health assessments is you don't think about the what I call adaptive capacity.
(29:43) Your ability to adapt, the capacity to adapt in a situation. Can you be in the heat and still function? Can you be in the cold and still function? Can you go without food and still function? Can you eat gluten? >> Ron failed that test. >> I'm not I'm not as I'm not as resilient there. >> Ron's not resilient in that part. >> This is these are the things that I Yeah. that I like to bring up.
(30:01) It's because that's that's what it is. We're we how how are you going to survive? >> That's so important. I love that you said that because also people getting so used to feeling crappy. So when you ask someone how how do they feel and they'll tell you fine. They're including the headache, the bloating, the fatigue, insomnia because that's their normal and they don't even know what it's like to feel amazing. Right.
(30:23) >> That's so sad. Yeah. Sad. >> Sad. I think I think that's a lot of people. Would you agree? What percentage of people do you think are in that bubble? >> Gosh, every day I I see people in my office in in person three days a week and I work virtually with people all over the country. But I it's funny that you say because I mean it's it's a big number.
(30:44) I mean eight eight out of 10 conversations where and I'll I'll call people out. I go say, "Okay, how you doing?" Say, "I'm okay. I'm doing good." It's like, "No, you're not. That's don't don't tell me that. Be real with me." Right? Like I'm I'm here to help you and let's figure some stuff out. people get embarrassed about it or they just don't know or >> it's like we first of all in Ron it it it's not not the same thing to to you right but men it's like men have a big problem with admitting their their health issues they don't want to go to
(31:11) doctors they don't want to be proactive about fine I am fine okay >> but he can't not eat food >> so the number is higher I'm going to say in men that say I'm good when they're not when when they're lonely They're broken. They don't feel good. >> It's just Yeah, it it is very sad. >> Okay, men listening, you're having problems.
(31:34) >> Don't Don't do that. We We lo Well, we eventually lost my dad, which started from that very thing. He he refused to go to the doctor and thought he was fine. Thought he was fine. He's a tough guy. And it led to all these health that one decision led to so many health problems that ended up taking his life.
(31:49) Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. I I think this is a shout out to the men listening. Please, please, please take care of yourself. It's not selfish. It is not I mean you'll spend money on things that you love. You should love your body and your health should be your number one priority. So just shift that.
(32:05) >> So Dr. Daniel, I want to recognize how multiaceted how knowledgeable are about all sorts of topics and we're going to view we can go on in so many different directions, right? And but as we do that, >> I wanted to it's almost like speed dating, right? Want to give a little taste of all the different knowledge nuggets you have, right? So this and we're going to pivot just a little bit.
(32:23) We're going to go to What is the inter industrialization of beauty today? >> Gosh. H. Okay. Well, yeah, that this is a big one because everything we've talked about kind of leading up to this, the burden that we start off with before we're even born, the accumulation, right? It's like you've got it's all layered as you grow up.
(32:42) All the antibiotics you're given, the vaccinations, the medications, the food, the plastics, all this stuff is just kind of layered and caked on. But we're fine, right? and and and then >> you care about us, Dr. Daniel. The manufacturers care. >> So, my beef with and I've recently, and I think this is maybe how you found me, right? Because recently I started posting about implants of different types, breast implants mainly, a cosmetic burden, all the things that we can put on ourselves and that we're exposed to. And when we talk about I
(33:15) mean, if food is a big big problem, right? And that's a huge exposure of chemicals, just food by itself. But then and that's more regulated. Then you get into the cosmetic and beauty industry. It's it's like the wild west. And and the more that I've dug into this, it's like it's it's already scary with the things that we can be exposed to and and and everybody's okay with it, at least the the the companies that are distributing these things.
(33:41) And then you get into the the the beauty industry, it's just 10x with the uh the exposure to things that are just dangerous. The FDA does not pre-approve cosmetic ingredients. So, it's a free-for-all. >> Yeah. Manufacturers manufacturers are the ones responsible for the safety data. That's right. >> And a lot of times it ends up being it's like the actual consumers, that's the experiment, right? So it's not until you you see a signal where something is bad and that's assuming that enough people are going to say something about it and
(34:11) make the connection that it's that that it's that. So that's an issue. We know that a lot of like what the European Union's banned >> over a thousand cosmetic >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's a lot, right? So Okay. Thousands. But they've banned the US is what like 10 or 11. I know we make different or not we but some of these manufacturers will make healthy brands for the UK and European Union and then the toxic brand for the US and that happens with the food too like the ketchup's totally different and yeah >> it's it's shocking it's scary I mean the
(34:42) things that are allowed like I learned recently the word fragrance it's that can have up to 4,000 chemicals within just that one word right so you can look and it can maybe have five things on the label but fragrance is on there that's 4,000 up to 4,000 chemicals that that it could be loaded with the average woman, what 12 personal care products.
(35:02) What's even scarier and the reason why I started looking into this, I've got daughters and my youngest teenage girl, 17 on average. These are the products daily. >> Yes. >> And it's not linear, right? So, when you think of load, putting something in your body, 1 + 1 doesn't equal two. The way that it works in our body, it's multiplied.
(35:23) So, what I like to say, it's it's geometric. So it's 1 plus 1 could be 10 or 20 because of all the different proteins and factors that it's influencing our body and the combination of those things. So all those 17 products being placed on average on a on a teenage girl, what are the effects of that? >> Yeah.
(35:43) And that's the products having a couple hundred ingredients, right? So the products is just one, but then the ingredients is hundreds. Yeah. Yep. And even if some of those were studied in single fashion, even if they were studied, that's only looking at that dosage of that one, not the combinations. Like you almost never are going to have that where that's looked at. And yeah, it's a big problem.
(36:02) I mean, >> and the girls are going into puberty earlier. They're developing breasts earlier because of all these endocrine disrupting chemicals that you talked about, parabens, phalates, BPA, and nobody's there. They're legal. They're completely legal. So consumers, unless they're educated, they don't know.
(36:19) They go to Sephora and they think, "Oh, this is a pretty package and it looks like a nice color and I'll just put it on." And there's no mention of lead or heavy metals in the makeup or these some of these plastics or these preservatives. And so, >> yeah, it's getting worse. It's it's it's a big problem. Yeah. >> I think it's the is it makeup or I'm not makeup, lipstick.
(36:39) Like when you talk about heavy metals, that's that's like a that's a massive one. >> They found lead in a lot of lipsticks that they tested. Even though lead's supposed to, it's insane. Over the legal limit. Yeah. Way over the legal limit. Cuz like you said, it's the fox guard guarding the hen house.
(36:53) And things don't get removed, like you said, until there's enough cancer cases and enough people speaking up. And that gets into the breast implants that we're going to talk about because Aller, is it Allergan? Is that how you say the company? Allergan. They had that textured breast implant that was removed after so many women got cancer.
(37:09) >> After the women got cancer, they >> That's a great point. >> Yeah. Yeah, I was just I'm so surprised at the how irritated the doctors that obviously I mean it's there it's I I I don't have any kind of financial gain from speaking about these things but I was shocked at the number of buticians, salon owners, the messages that I was getting is the kind of almost like hate from yeah from sharing this stuff and then of course plastic surgeons, doctors. Wow.
(37:37) And I love having conversation. It's like look I'm not saying don't do this. I'm saying people need to be aware and talk about it and also like how can we do it better? I think you have to have these conversations so that way you can then get better, right? If if we're going to have these things, if we're going to have makeup or how do we do it better? And and that's what I'm always thinking about.
(37:55) And even if it's going to be I don't know how you do breast implants better, quite honestly, just putting anything in our body that doesn't belong there. But if it's possible, can can we at least have that conversation and be open to it? Are there any tips and warnings you can give to our women listeners about regarding breast implants? >> I think the most important because I'll hear this a lot is that dismantling the this idea that there's a difference between saline or silicone because a lot of women will say that, oh, I've got this or I've got that. No, gel bleed
(38:25) happens regardless of the the shell, right? So you have the shell of the implant and then what's inside of it is different things but the shell of it it it has silocane which is going to get released that's going to bleed no matter what. And 100% of implants there's a certain amount of gel bleed that's that's that's being leaked >> shell meaning the packet that housing you're saying.
(38:48) So the housing >> think of the layer the skin with the pocket. I always wondered what is is it plastic or is it >> it's it's a polyurethane soy that's what it's called metal medical grade silicone I think PDMS is the kind of abbreviation for it but it's the shell >> the shell >> it's the shell and then the and then the shell again can have that there's some that are it's filled with silicone gel some that is filled with saline there's the texture which I think that has ether there's silicone and then there's something called cohesive silicone
(39:21) there's these different products regardless they all have this bleed this gel bleed from from the shell and that that's coming out and and so again it's another thing is a lot of women will they'll say oh I get it monitored through u mamograms that's not a good way to do it there's very specific MRI exams that have to be done and usually what I would say is you go to a to a plastic surgeon who knows better on how to get it properly monitored that's another thing is that if you don't have them yet and you want to get them fine.
(39:51) I support you. I would want to know >> what your baseline is before going into it. So, at least you have a pre and post. >> Yeah. >> But after you get them, know that there's a cost associated. It's not just the cost of getting it, but the monitoring that's going to come along with it if you truly want to make sure that you're staying well.
(40:08) And that includes blood chemistry monitoring, monitoring for autoimmune markers and inflammation markers at certain periods. It includes your imaging monitoring. So, there's a cost there that a lot of times is not on the table. were not brought up, but you should be thinking about that if you want to do this >> and the cost of replacement because they have to be replaced every >> if it does cause issues, right? And a lot of the people that get replacements are the patients that are sick, unfortunately. It's like they when
(40:33) that's happening and that's that's a growing thing and forever women were gas lit. No, that's not it. That's not it. Now it's a it's an acknowledged recognized condition. >> Yeah. Breast implant for listeners. Breast implant illness >> is what it's called. It's Yeah. the medical industry finally acknowledges that, correct? They don't think that's like woo woo >> more.
(40:54) It's almost like leaky gut or gluten sensitivity. It's like there's there's still doctors to this day that are like, "Nope, doesn't exist." And it's okay. And and the same thing, but that's why I was shocked really with the doctors that that were challenging me and the information I was sharing about breast implants.
(41:09) And again, I was just providing research that's been published. There's nothing crazy that I'm saying. I'm not making things up. It's just what already exists. And for them to be challenging that it just seems >> you're challenging their bottom line, Dr. Daniel. >> Well, that Yeah. And it's I would The conversation is is that I would that I'm trying to have with them is also I'm not telling you not to do it.
(41:29) Still do it do it better. >> Yeah. Do it in do and set it up to where your going to see your patients and monitor them so you can make sure they're not developing >> before it gets bad. Yeah. Cuz there's anything maybe that generates more income for you. >> Right. That's right. Well, we did interview a doctor who is a plastic surgeon who is very outspoken about it and educates his patients.
(41:51) And I thought that was really great and rare, which is why we had him on because I was like, good, you can you can be a good plastic surgeon. You can tell patients, hey, this is a this is a risk. Are you still okay with it? Because we're really talking about informed consent at the root of everything.
(42:05) Which brings me into fillers because fillers are just exploding right now. Botox, filler, all all of these aesthetic injections and there's no informed consent. There is none. Used to get Botox. Listeners know that. I've talked openly about it and I have not in years and years now. And I talked to this one really well-known doctor.
(42:24) And she said, "Why aren't you doing Botox? You need it. They'll tell you you need it." And I said, "Oh, because I know that it can migrate and it's a it's a fear and I don't I didn't say fear. I just don't want it to migrate." And she goes, "No, it doesn't." And I'm like, there's a black box warning stating that it can migrate and you're looking me in the eye and gaslighting me and telling me that it doesn't.
(42:46) And so that's the kind of thing that women go through. >> There's there are MRI studies, threedimensional imaging studies that have been done that have shown migration of filler. Small amounts too, not not you know large amounts from the face. Yeah. They've shown that like in through the lymph nodes. So I know >> the filler.
(43:04) So just the filler the garlet >> there. So there's two studies I know that have done imaging studies looking at that looking at that migration pattern. There's there's a lot of basic science mechan this is the way research goes is that you have to first show that there's a signal right and and so basic science is meant to is there a signal is there potential for for harm and there are basic science studies that have shown that that filler moves around that filler causes an immune reaction like immune cells respond negatively and it
(43:35) could even increase the the the risk of developing autoimmunity hitting the lymphatics which that's a whole another whole risk category in itself on what that can do with like detoxification pathways and all that, but there's there's good studies that show the basic science part of it. What's fascinating to me about filler and and Botox, it's like the FDA approval was I think 120 days. Like really? Yeah.
(44:00) It was like there's because it kills me when they're like doctors will say millions of patients have gotten it. you've been doing it for x amount of years that then they say that's the long-term study. Yes and no. First there's again the FDA approval was just a few days again 120 some days I think that's what it was to get approval and then it's postmarket right so like after the fact it's just like you can start doing it and if there's a problem now there's clearly people that have been injured that have issues from single injection and then
(44:30) from repeated what I was shocked to find out is that there is there there is no long-term study that's been done on lowdosese cosmetic botox over time so 10 years 15 meaning nobody's tracking, nobody's looking to see what kind of effects it has, even though the basic science shows that there are problems that develop from it or or they can.
(44:50) >> And again, I'm not saying to women out there, don't get your Botox. Don't What I'm saying is that that we don't know. We don't have the data and you should be at least aware of some of the symptoms that can show up so that way you know whether you're part of that statistic or not, right? So, just becomeware.
(45:07) So because of the gaslighting, they can't really connect the dots because the symptoms can be diagnosed as something, oh, you just have an autoimmune disorder. We're not going to connect that to Botox or filler or whatever. Now, could you explain filler a bit more? Because what women are told is it's hyrolonic acid.
(45:24) It's just what your body makes. It's natural. So how could besides the migration, how can that cause harm? So there's anytime you put so an injectable like anytime you put something into your body foreign any foreign object and again filler even if it's just going to be there for a little bit right like something will dissolve there's an immune response and that that immune response basically it can start to create a pocket where it almost encapsulates it and that'll be a continuous form of it's like microinflammation right where it's just
(45:55) kind of continuously going. Now, there's some fillers that are permanent and then some that that will dissolve. Again, it doesn't matter either. Between both of those, you're still having this microinflammatory immune response. So, depending on the individual and their resilience and their current health care status, that's going to determine how how much of an impact that's going to have on their body.
(46:19) And I think that's where there's a huge gap in our understanding of of its ultimate impact. It's obviously there's people that can get filler globellar lines or their cheeks or whatever and they don't have any problem but there are people that get it and they have had issues and one time I don't know how many I'm sure you've heard stories but I when I since I've been posting I've heard a lot of stories of p patients just reaching out saying thank you nobody acknowledges this where I did it once and they have never been the same and that was like
(46:44) five years ago. >> Yeah, I've heard that a lot with Botox. There's a great group on Instagram. It's for injured people from Botox mainly. And you have every story of someone having done it 10 years with no problem and then the one time they have a crazy reaction or like you said the first time a lot of these women it was tiny amounts you think and board certified injectors.
(47:06) So it wasn't like oh we can blame it on the injector or we can blame it on the amount of times or them or the volume. It was all across the board with these people and they had really bad injuries cuz it affected the central nervous system in a lot of these people. Right. And so again with that it's like why and what is unique about that individual that unfortunately they had that bad reaction but that's how we get better.
(47:26) So that's all I'm saying is that we should I'm not telling you to not do it to not you not saying those doctors are bad that do it or the injectors are bad. We should be trying to figure out same thing with vaccinations right this is such a touchy subject. There's millions of people that get vaccines and they're fine and there's a lot of them that get injured.
(47:44) We should be studying those people that get injured and be asking why. What is it about them? So that way we can know ahead of time to to at least prevent it or or at least say, "Hey, you have this higher likelihood because you fit this pattern that we've we've we've determined." But to completely ignore it and be like, "Nope, that's that's not an issue, which is what they do with Botox and filler." Yeah.
(48:02) It's like not a big deal. >> That that's not good medicine. It's negligence. Yeah. And and like going back to that informed consent with the vaccines, I mean, no one's really told or shown, which I don't understand how that's legal. Here, we're going to give you this shot. Oh, could I see the list? No, you're not be shown any list of this could happen.
(48:20) These things could happen. I mean, geez, the def when you get a antibiotic, you look at the list online if you Google it yourself and you're like, "Oh my god, like the list of side effects is usually really crazy with any even like a drug that's been around forever." And so that's obviously why they're not showing you.
(48:36) They don't want you to know because >> but I don't know how it's legal for them not to. I mean, you sign a consent form. I guess in the consent that it covers them, but you never see a list of side effects. And of course, and I'm sure you've heard this, but people are it's like you don't you're not given the full data, right? You don't get the pamphlet or the sheet that shows you all the you don't get any of that.
(48:55) You're just like it's you might get a little bit of irritation, you might get some inflammation, and then you're going to go by your way. >> Go away. Yeah. >> The the the the mechanism here of what we call engulfment where again you inject a little bit of filler. >> Your body's going to flag that as well, that's not normal.
(49:10) It's going to start to send cells macroofagages to go to that area and it'll depends on the person but there's the potent again this is the basic science mechanism that has been identified is that some individuals it'll what's called fagosytosis kind of grabs hold of it to contain it because it doesn't like it and it may not get it's not going to get the it's trying to protect it.
(49:28) It's not going to get the whole area, but it'll get pieces of it and then that can move around, right? It's not like it just stays there. And so now you >> then you have lumpy face, then you have lumpy bumpy face >> the potential. And unfortunately, there are some people that have had some some problems with that.
(49:44) But you've got these almost like microplastics. You now have these cells, your body cells that engulf these fillers, these compounds, and they're circulating throughout your body. And what does that do? Nobody knows. But it's it's logically there's got to be Yeah. And the danger is if it gets into the lymph system.
(50:00) Is that what you were saying? So if that filler migrates, then what? Then you've got a whole host of problems. >> You've got this like sticky sludge that your body may not have a way of eliminating depending again on the individual's ability to detox and what's going on with them, how strong their immune system is.
(50:16) But again, these are all just questions, right? That that we know that there's the mechanism, the basic science understanding of it. And it's just a free-for-all, though. It's just it's okay. We're just going to allow it without any investigation. >> Yeah. No longer. >> I think that industry is just so filled with gaslighting.
(50:32) I mean, I was I was the patient. So, I can tell you it's like, "Okay, bye. Here you go. Bye." And if you if you call and say, "Hey, I'm having an issue." Oh, no. That's fine. No, that's normal. That'll go away. Yeah. It's very gas. It's a very gaslighting >> industry. girls. Women feel a lot of pressure to everyone else is doing it and everybody she looks so good and her skin's so smooth and even getting to the root root root of the real problem of why aren't we more confident? Why aren't we more loving of ourselves and of each
(50:59) other and not critiquing other women and now men are on the bandwagon. Men are doing all the fillers and Botox too. So it's like crazy which I don't like at all. It's a weird look when these men get overbotoxed and you know >> I mean to what you just said right that's it. >> Okay. Okay. We'll pivot from beauty now.
(51:16) We're going to go >> Were you going to say Dr. Gonzalez? >> Well, I was say to what you said though that the root of it is that exactly that. Why can't we be comfortable with with our own skin and how sick have we become as a population that that's the standard that we're willing to to accept? And it's almost like just continuously pushing yourselves that way, right? It's like using a filter or Yeah.
(51:38) It's just the whole cosmetic industry, the way that it's approached, it's this kind of >> like you're not Yeah. You're not good enough. You're not good enough. >> You're climbing from a ladder and it's burning from the bottom up. Like at some point it's going to catch you, right? There's only so much filler you can do, only so much Botox you can do.
(51:51) It starts to affect you and people do look I I think people look strange when it's been too much over time. There's a point where it's like, "Wow, beautiful like you're saying, but then it's like, whoa." And >> what happened? >> So, what are we doing? >> Yeah, that's right. So just and I know Ron has another question, but going back to the filler just my last question about it.
(52:13) So if it is hyrolonic acid, I guess it's a synthetic version. Is that why the body goes to attack it? Because why? Because they tell you, oh, your body produces it. So it you're you are led to think, oh my god, it's just like putting like vitamins. >> It's not the same as >> Yeah. It's it's not so hyaluronic. It's not the same as hyaluronic acid that's inside our body.
(52:33) >> Oh. So this would be like well maybe an example would be like you have different types of okay B vitamins or magnesium. We know there's different types. There's types that our body that are literally inside our body that our body uses and then there's types that are synthetic. So you know look similar but not quite the same.
(52:49) >> Oh the body's going to view it. It's not because it's not actually natural. It's a synthetic, right? It's a synthe right silicone that's cross- linked with HA hyaluronic acid is not the same as what our body has inside of it. That's a problem right there. And that's not acknowledged, right? You're not told that. You're told what you just said.
(53:09) So, no, it's what your body Look, I I'm I'm a fan. I'm not negative towards peptides. That's that's all the rage right now. You hear so many people talking about peptides. I'm not a big fan. I'm not opposed to it. Just it just depends, right? Again, context. It just depends on what we're doing. But there's a lot of people out there promoting, "Oh, no, your body produces them.
(53:27) " That's not true. >> They're synthetic, right? >> It's similar, but it's not the same thing. So, you cannot say that and that's very misleading. >> GL, are you against the GLP ones? >> Again, if I've got a a morbidly obese patient and they're struggling really hard, I think they're going to be great. It's good medicine to get them to where they need to be.
(53:48) Um, again, if I have a patient that if they're not doing the fundamentals, right, like they're on you can there's a better way to be healthy and you're not if you're not doing that, not again to say that they're not trying hard, they don't have the discipline, but really what's going on there. I would want to figure that out rather than just putting them on a GLP.
(54:04) The It's like you hear, I mean, it's true. The biggest thing with GLPs is that it changes your society. So, you're not eating as much. My concern is if you weren't eating well before, well, then now you're just going to be eating poor but less. >> Yeah. >> Yes. But it's just less. You're going to lose weight.
(54:19) And then if you don't if you're not mindful of maintaining muscle mass and building muscle, there is an issue with that. And so, that that's one of my my concerns there is that we're not really building on good solid foundations. But there's a time and a place for everything, right? I'm not going to say even medications. I'm not a fan of medication.
(54:33) Of course, my goal is to try to help people achieve health without a prescription, right? But there's a time and a place. It just depends on where you are as an individual. >> If someone's taking JLP, can they outwork out the negative results of the muscle mass by they could? Okay. So, as long as they're working out, they can Okay.
(54:48) >> Yeah. Process, right? I mean, you see a lot of celebrities now that look like they're about to collapse when they're walking. You can tell something's not right. I'm not going to name who they are, but I've seen several that are so rail thin. >> Scary. >> It's scary. They look like they're going to collapse cuz you can tell.
(55:03) >> I'm curious to see what it's going to be like 20 years from now because these haven't even hit the peak of where they're going to be. The market's just growing and growing and growing and the adoption is just high, right? Cuz it's it's easy, right? You just inject yourself and then >> everybody's losing a lot of weight.
(55:18) Yeah. >> But how it in it's almost like gastric bypass when that was happening. It's okay, that was easy. People get the surgery and then they lose all this weight and then oh wait there's cancer that develops from it. There's all sorts of backend issues. Yeah. Because you poor nutrition intake.
(55:34) You can't eat a whole lot. I work with a lot of gastric bypass patients where they had it years ago and of course they gained the weight back later because >> adapts. They were able to gain the weight. Yeah, that's interesting. >> But they're in a it's like they they dug themselves into a rut. And just again like going back to skin and taking care of ourselves and being okay getting to the root of it with diet and nutrition and how we're eating and personal fitness and all that.
(55:58) There's some some really deeply ingrained emotions and and groundwork that has to happen there. That's not and we're just let we're just putting over the stuff right on top of it. So I'll just inject myself with this or I'll just take this to shut my every Yeah. Do is there any filler that you would say this filler's the lesser of the evil? Because I I know there is with Botox there's healthier more natural versions of the botulism toxin a >> I mean noncrosslin HA temporary right the degradation windows days to weeks.
(56:32) >> Oh okay >> semi-permanent cross- linked uh a PLA I think is something is that that's what it's called. These are like months to years so they stay a little bit longer. Right. So if if there was like if I was going to say yeah I'd be okay with it. a noncross linked >> non-cross >> hyaluronic acid. Yeah. >> Yeah.
(56:52) And I'll say I did I don't do Botox, but for listeners, Daxifi is the only one that does not use the human blood albamin. And what's the other one that Gwennneth Paltro promoted? Zean, I think doesn't have it uses peptides. No, Daxi uses peptides. And they're both a little more on the natural side. I mean, Daxi is the only one I think that doesn't have the human blood albamin, which is amazing.
(57:14) >> I do want to be clear, right, that I'm not against fillers and even Botox. It's I'm I'm pro understanding where you are as as a person, like knowing your baseline, like knowing your health status and what can you take? >> Okay. What can your body handle? That's actually >> Yeah. And and if you you get an assessment and figure out you're you're in good health and no signs of autoimmunity, inflammation levels are low, immune system looks good, all right, you're >> gonna do okay on it. Cool. Okay.
(57:43) >> That that that seems more responsible to me than somebody that doesn't know. It's okay. That looks like a good idea. I don't like the way my face looks and go get this stuff done. And then >> they go into major overdrive. Yeah. >> That's all that's my message when I try to speak about this.
(57:57) I'm not ever saying like don't do this stuff. It's just there's ways to see where you are. >> For sure. That was very clear. Thanks for sharing that too, by the way. And speaking of sharing, can you share with our listeners what you call the five causes of illness? Five causes of illness. >> We're going to quiz you because we got this off your website.
(58:18) >> We can help. We can give hints. >> My my website's dated. I'm trying to think cuz that cuz it probably changes like what I would think now. >> The first the first one begins with a txins. >> Oh, okay. Okay. Well, okay. So, >> he's you've already pretty much mentioned all of these through this interview. >> I mean, what was it? Thoughts, traumas, toxins, >> toxins, allergens, and intolerances.
(58:41) And then three, microbes. Four, stress, >> forms. >> Five, poor diet. >> Stress. Yes. Stress was four. >> Look, I my of course this it's practice. It's called practice, right? Because you change the more that you learn and as you accumulate knowledge and experience and that's all very very important. Uh most of those Yes.
(58:59) But like I want to say now bacteria and organisms. There was definitely a time in my life where I was more I want to get rid of everything. >> Now that's where you >> I have learned and I have observed too that that's that's not true because again it just kind of depends. Not all bugs are bad. And I mean just think of this logically as animals like we've we've been on this planet for so long and we've adapted with these organisms.
(59:23) And in terrain theory, environment theory, I agree with more than, you know, the idea that bacteria are what cause disease. It's more like the environment that that that those bacteria are in can lead to disease. So that's where I'm at with that. Again, going back to resilience, like how strong is my body? If I get exposed, if both of you had an illness and you coughed on me, if if well, if I don't get sick, I mean, what does that say about me, right? And my resilience and my ability to I can get exposed to that
(59:52) bug. I mean, right now we all there's so many viruses and bacteria that are floating in the air that we're breathing and we're not sick, but opportunistic organisms like whenever the opportunity presents itself, that's whenever you you get sick. The perfect combination of stress and not eating well and not sleeping well and then boom, it gets you.
(1:00:10) So, just maintaining resilience and building your body up is is is where I'm and that applies to also toxins. Okay, you know, Botox doesn't hurt somebody, but depending on the environment that that Botox is in could cause a lot of problems, right? And those are the things I think we need to be thinking about >> when it comes to >> that's very Yeah, that's really important and very helpful information because you're not saying no to these things. You're just saying be educated.
(1:00:32) Are you a believer in PRP, micro needling, things that you can do to stimulate your own collagen versus just injecting? >> Yeah, absolutely. There's so many regenerative technologies that are available and on the horizon. I earlier I said exposome and I think you thought I said exoomes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.
(1:00:51) Exoomes are certainly that's that's that's that's part of that as far as injectables that that help to heal. I recommend PRP quite a bit. I think getting your blood context matters here. So So a 40year-old getting PRP compared to a 20-year-old completely different, right? Because that 20-year-old has more chances are they have more vital cells, stem cells. Stem cell therapy.
(1:01:14) Right now it's 5050. It's like some it's expensive and some people can get it and it's great. Some people get it and doesn't do anything. That's been my experience with with patients that I've referred out for it. Why? Well, I've I've certainly seen a pattern where the healthier the person is, >> all these things are going to work better. Yeah.
(1:01:29) >> Yeah. You hear about athletes, right? And they get stem cells and it's great. Oh, so and so got it and it's great, but my my grandmother's not going to benefit like that athlete because it's a completely different situation, right? Her stem cells, her body's ability to take those stem cells are very different.
(1:01:45) So, again, you got to you got to think about that before you get those procedures. I would definitely take some time to build your health up and to make your investment worthwhile. >> Such a good way to end the show. That's fantastic. And I I think that would go for if you're getting a surgery or anything that's going to put your body through stress.
