Hi Jimi!

How are you enjoying this winter?

It's freezing cold here in this ski town--but I'm still feeding the birds outside my window.

What do you do to help those who live out in the cold?

Of course, with the cold weather, you can hear the sniffles and sneezes everywhere.

It starts out with just a little tickle in your throat, a slight achiness, or a small sniffle – but before you know it, you’ve got a full blown cold.

The video below is for my Immune Fuel Hot LemonAid...I have 5 pints sitting in my freezer right now. That way, when symptoms hit me, I don’t need to expend any effort. I just put a frozen pint in a bowl of hot water, and I’ve got enough thawed to start using, 20 minutes later.

It really works, to knock down any viral or bacterial infection, especially if you get on it within a few hours of your first symptoms!

There’s a secret almost every clinician I know shares…

It shouldn’t be but it is… especially because most women are so in-tune with their bodies.

Spoiler alert, it’s all about your ovaries.

More specifically it’s about how your female hormones change your digestive system.

As you probably know, no matter what you do, your hormones are going to change once you enter your 40’s.

Let me repeat that -- No matter what you, take do or eat -- your ovaries are beginning to shut down in your 40’s. Medicine calls this perimenopause, a time in which your hormones are sputtering to a stop. The process can start up to 10 years before actual menopause.

Some days your ovaries will pump out normal amounts of estrogen and progesterone… and other days they quit altogether. Only to return again 2 days later.

And then one day… they just shut down… no more cycles.

I Heard it All the Time…
  • “Gut wise things started to go downhill when I turned 46.”
  • “I never had a problem until I turned 48”
  • “Things have been a struggle since 52”
Each woman is different but I’ve heard it all. You can insert any number between 40 and 55 and it’s happened.

You were going through life and then suddenly in this time range things like:

  • Heaviness after eating
  • Bloating and gas
  • Burping
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • IBS and IBD
All manner of GI issues startup.

I call this “Menopause Stomach”
Why?

It is all about the gut-hormone connection. See estrogen and progesterone play important roles in digestion and especially in the stomach.

There are studies that show that during pregnancy almost zero stomach ulcers happen and many clinical reports of magical gut relief.

(In pregnancy, women’s hormones surge to higher levels, or back to baseline if they’ve suffered PCOS, Endometriosis, Fibroids during their early years).

Also, there are studies showing estrogen is protective against ulcers and cancers.

And then this UK study showing menopausal replacement hormones protect against GI cancer.

Even more interesting is that “HRT after menopause was shown to be protective of disease activity in women with IBD, making them less likely to experience a flare of their disease.”

Also, HRT after menopause in a Sweden study showed decreased risk of esophageal, gastric, and esophageal squamous cell cancers.

(Note: if you google this you’ll see one study linking higher GERD with hormone replacement -- however, the UK study above is better designed and shows no difference in GERD rates)

In other words, as you age into perimenopause, when your hormones become erratic and risks of all types of gut issues go up.

These Estrogen Studies Mimic Stomach Acid Studies
If we look at the other way, stomach acid studies show the older we get the less we make.

Remember the landmark Mayo Clinic study looked at 3,746 people who had their stomachs pumped and analyzed. It found that 58.8% of women and 50.1% of men over 60 had low stomach acid.

Why are more women affected than men at 50?

My theory is that it’s your lowered estrogen and progesterone.

Quick TL/DR Menopause Stomach Recap
  1. The Secret: Most clinicians know many women will begin complaining of gut issues in between 45-55 (perimenopause time)
  2. Studies show Estrogen and Progesterone directly influence the GI system and are protective against gut issues
  3. After Menopause - when progesterone is gone and estrogen is at its lowest point - if we give replacement hormones there's a protection against GI cancers, IBD, Ulcers, and more.
  4. Stomach acid studies show acid levels decline as we age starting at 35 and by the time we get to 60 it’s 58.1% of women are deficient
Okay, so What to Do About It?
Well, one big step that may fix your stomach issues is to try cyclic bio-identical hormone replacement.

It’s outside of the scope of this message, but Wiley Protocol is one of he most common and longest practiced (20+ years). It makes the most sense biologically and physiologically speaking.

But, just starting the Wiley protocol doesn’t mean your stomach acid and GI tract will fix itself.

Digestive Theory of Aging
I believe Dr. Jonathan Wright coined the term “Digestive Theory of Aging”. But I really like it and it makes so much sense in the context of nature.

Our 20yr old bodies look and function way differently than at 30, 40 and then 50.

The same “Aging” is happening to your stomach.

After 20, 30 years of eating, digesting, pesticides, heavy metals, alcohol, and stress… It's just more sluggish -- less efficient.

And as the years go on of the stomach producing less acid that means, less amino acids, B12, minerals are being absorbed. Slowly your body is being starved of the critical nutrients needed to repair itself and look good.

Look, there’s lots of theories on aging.

But, here’s what I know… if I stop watering a tree. It will slowly dry up from the inside out… shrivel up… hang on as long as it can.

But without the nutrients it needs to live -- it dies -- from the inside out.

Same, is true for us. If we slowly starve ourselves of the essential nutrients needed to repair, fix DNA, build muscles, skin, and bones, feed mitochondria, our brains… they shrivel up and die.

Dear Jimi,

Big Wireless has literally bought the mainstream.

Telecoms have systematically captured government agencies, paid off elected reps, lied to committees, and comprised the integrity of network media through billions in ad revenue and now "joint ventures" with 5G.

Despite that, millions are realizing that 5G isn't going to make our lives better... but is actually a trojan horse which will exploit and harm humanity. The 5G-IoT-AI-Technocracy pathway does not lead to a good future for anyone.

Last week, Derrick Broze, a former candidate for Mayor of Houston and speaker in our Summit, released a new feature film which is bringing the 5G conversation to a new level, with his "5G Trojan Horse Documentary" on YouTube.

What Derrick uncovers is exactly what Big Telecom doesn't want people to see. I was deeply inspired by this documentary — the best single video to watch and share about 5G. Derrick includes solutions for everyone, including elected reps, and aligns with the meta-solution of both collaboration and accountability / liability:










Watch The 5G Trojan Horse Documentary on YouTube

In this documentary, Derrick Broze, an independent freelance investigative journalist exposes the truth behind the race to 5G, the concerns about health, privacy, and power, and the corruption between Big Wireless and government.

It has 4 main chapters to give us the full story the mainstream media is not releasing to the public.

  • Chapter 1 - The Electromagnetic Spectrum and 5G
  • Chapter 2 - The Concerns About EMF’s and 5G
  • Chapter 3 - The Big Wireless-5G Takeover
  • Chapter 4 - Solutions (starts at 1:30)

This film will help you deepen your understanding of the truth about 5G, the industry-government collusion, and pathways for solutions.

Watch the "The 5G Trojan Horse Documentary" now and share it with everyone you know, including your elected officials.

To your rights and health,

BPA Substitutes Are Not Safer

"The Substitute" is a 1996 movie thriller starring Tom Beringer as a substitute teacher who lays waste to a high school ******* ring, disproving students' long-held belief that a substitute is always a weaker version of a regular teacher.

The same can be said, unfortunately, of BPS, a common substitute for the known hormone disruptor BPA (bisphenol A) that's used to line food cans, make plastics, and print cash register receipts, among other uses.

Companies dumping BPA often turn to BPS and BPF. But now BPS has been found to hinder heart function in mice within minutes of exposure — especially in females.

If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity, that could increase your chance of a heart attack or make one more severe, according to researchers from Canada's University of Guelph.

So how can you dodge bisphenols?

• Avoid plastic items with the recycling numbers 3 and 7 or the letters "PC."

• Avoid packaged and canned foods. One study found that BPA levels in urine plummeted 66% in people who skipped all packaged foods for five days. Another found that folks who had one serving of canned soup daily for five days had BPA blood levels 1,221% higher than those who didn't eat canned soup.

• Avoid bisphenol in cosmetics and toiletries.

Jimi,

If you have school-aged children, you know all-too-well the fight to get them eating healthy all the time.

They eat all sorts of yummy but toxic snacks during the day when they’re away from us…

...so this one is for the parents who want to give their young or older children some tasty and delicious snack alternatives.

Let’s start off with the sweet stuff!

3-Ingredient Gummy Fruit Snacks
(makes ~30 pieces)

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup of fruit juice (all-natural, not-from concentrate is best)
  • 2 ½ tbsp gelatin powder
  • 2 tbsp honey, raw sugar, or equivalent sugar-free sweetener
TOOLS

  • Food dropper or glass pitcher
  • Cooking molds (for gummies)
  • Cookie sheet
INSTRUCTIONS

  • Combine juice, gelatin powder, and sweetener in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the powder is dissolved (about 1 min.)
  • Remove from heat and using a dropper or glass pouring pitcher, pour into mold(s). Place the mold on a cookie sheet or pan for easy transferring.
  • Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the gummies to set. Carefully remove them by running a knife along the edge or pressing them out by pushing on the bottom of the mold. If you want the gummies to remain hard, store in the refrigerator.
Pro tip: If you want to make them more healthy, put in a drop of trace minerals or vitamins. You’ll have to experiment with taste and not overdo it...

...but once you get it right, they’ll have a healthy snack they love that simultaneously gives you more peace of mind about their diet.

But what about energy? If you have active kids, the worst thing for them to do is start getting fast food snacks before starting their activity.

By the time the get to the end of the school day, they’re tired - and hungry.

Junk food is the easy solution.

But wouldn’t it be better if they could just reach into their bags and pull out an energy bar?

The recipe below is hearty enough to support them through sports and other activities that often come at the end of the school day.

Perfect Granola Bars
(Makes 3-4 day of snacks for 2)

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons (18g) ground flaxseed of your choice mixed with 6 tablespoons water.
  • 1/2 cup (68g) raw, unsalted sunflower seed kernels, ground (without the shells)
  • 1 cup (100g) QUICK/INSTANT cooking oats (NOT regular)
  • 1/2 cup (64g) superfine oat flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (120g) pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup (75g) dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
IMPORTANT:

  • Please don't substitute the quick oats with regular, it will NOT work. Quick oats are much smaller and bake up completely different. Using whole oats will make them fall apart. You can find quick oats anywhere.
  • The ginger in these do NOT make them spicy whatsoever. And the taste is barely there. If you want it milder in ginger flavor, just reduce to 1 teaspoon, but I wouldn't omit it completely. For more flavor, do 2.5 tbsp.
  • For greater accuracy, use a scale when baking. To ensure an accurate measurement, all you need is a scale and a large bowl. Also...make sure the scale is at zero before adding an ingredient.
TOOLS

  • Square baking dish (or as close to square and 8x8 as you can get!)
  • Food processor
  • Large, glass bowl
  • Whisk
  • Parchment paper
INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a square baking dish with parchment paper cut to fit and lay both directions.
  • In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed and 6 tablespoons of water. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Whisk well and set aside.
  • Add the sunflower kernels to a food processor, and process about 30-45 seconds. A fine flour will form. Be careful not to over process or it will start to turn into a paste.
  • Add all of the sunflower flour to a large bowl. Add the oats, oat flour, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Stir really well. Add the chocolate chips.
  • Get your set-aside bowl of flaxseed mixture. It should be thick and NOT WARM!
  • Whisk in the maple syrup well. Again, make sure the mixture is no longer warm before adding to the dry ingredients (so it doesn't melt the chocolate chips).
  • Stir everything together for a good minute or so until it all comes together in a moist, sticky batter. The more you stir, the stickier it will get. This is good, as that flaxseed helps to bind the bars.
  • To the lined baking dish, add the sticky batter and spread out evenly with the back of the spoon as best you can.
  • Now, take a square piece of parchment paper the size of the pan and place it on top. Press the mixture down flat and smooth out the top. Smooth your fingers along the edges and corners, making sure it's even. Really BE PATIENT with this step ensuring you are properly spreading it out to the corners and along the edges. Do not sloppily or quickly press it down or the bars will not form properly when baking.
  • Once it's smooth, flat and even, remove parchment paper and add extra chocolate chips if you want to.
  • Bake for 30-32 minutes until the edges are looking golden brown and the middle is firm to the touch.
  • Cool 1 hour. This is where they will firm up. Do NOT cut them before this unless you want crumbles! After an hour, lift them up with the parchment paper that’s still underneath and cut desired shapes with a really sharp knife slowly.
  • The crunchy edges may crack a bit but the bars should be firm and hold beautifully. They stay firm and moist for several days too.
  • Keep stored in a sealed container or ziplock bag.
The amazing thing is that these bars are sweet, moist, vegan, gluten-free, and even nut-free.

Literally ANYONE can eat them.

Pro Tip: If you want to increase protein and your children aren’t allergic to nut butters, add in a couple tablespoons of your favorite nut butter.
