why are somethings that have been known and practised for generations suddenly become a new breakthrough?
Many questions came in and I therefore decided to compile a bunch of resources to give you more information about a few key things:
Digestion and hormones - The health of your digestion is CRITICAL for overall health as well as your hormone balance. I've personally never met a person struggling with digestive issues (such as bloating, constipation, IBS, loose stools, gas, and acid reflux) and enjoying excellent overall health and balanced hormones.
Stomach acid - There’s a difference between enzymes and stomach acid. Please watch my interview with Steve (replay below) to learn more and I also show you how to test for stomach acid at home.
Digestive Enzymes - These can turn your digestive health around substantially (more on that below, plus the very information-rich and inspiring interview with Steve Wright). This is especially relevant if you suffer from many food sensitivities and chronic bloating.
What you will learn:
- How low stomach acid and low enzymes impact your hormones?
- How to do a simple stomach acid test at home?
- Eating more protein in peri/menopause? But how to absorb it properly?
- How to deal with acid reflux, constipation, bloating, and food intolerances?
- How to lower inflammation by upping your enzyme and stomach acid.
Because the old and proven have been forgotten and the new Big Pharma drugs that they push seem so much easier to most, sad that people have gotten so lazy that they choose convenience over natural

Breathwork Exercise of the Week: 3 Rounds of Wim Hof Style Breathing
This week’s exercise is a powerful technique inspired by Wim Hof, involving three rounds of guided breathing with breath holds. This exercise has garnered millions of views and is one of my favorite versions to alleviate migraines or blow off stress. Enjoy this practice here.
Podcast or Interview of the Week: Dr. Rhonda Patrick on the Science Behind the Wim Hof Method
This week, I’m excited to share a fascinating podcast from Dr. Rhonda Patrick, where she interviews Dr. Pierre Capel who provides an in-depth explanation of the science behind the Wim Hof Method. This episode significantly deepened my understanding of the method and its scientific foundations. It’s probably one of the best podcast episodes on Wim Hof science that I’ve ever encountered. I think you’ll get a lot of value from it, click here.
Community Corner: Feeling Feelings using Conscious Connected Breathing
This week in our private breathwork community, we’ve been geeking out on all things conscious connected breathing. Super relevant for this edition, right? We’ve been diving into a breathing technique called Vivation. I’ve had a blast guiding everyone through the Vivation process, and let me tell you, the feedback has been fantastic. People are feeling so relaxed, so calm – it’s awesome.
You can join our private breathwork community risk-free with a seven-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked. Click here to find out more. We’d love to see you inside!
Study I've Been Reading This Week: Does the Wim Hof Method have a beneficial impact on physiological outcomes?
This week, I’ve been diving into a fascinating systematic review published in PLOS ONE.
The findings suggest that the WHM, which includes breathing exercises, cold exposure, and commitment, can significantly increase epinephrine levels (amount of adrenaline in the body) and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (lowering substances in the body that cause inflammation). These changes point to a beneficial anti-inflammatory response, which could be particularly useful for managing conditions involving chronic inflammation. Additionally, the WHM has shown potential benefits in enhancing immune response and improving mental health.
This systematic review underscores the need for further investigation, but it offers valuable insights into the potential health benefits of the Wim Hof Method. You can read the full study here.
Wild Card: Coherence Breathing
I appreciate that Wim Hof isn’t for everybody. Our bodies are unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. So, I thought I’d share one of my favorite relaxing breathing exercises: coherence breathing. This technique is fantastic for improving heart rate variability, as mentioned by Rick Rubin on Huberman's podcast. It can also lower blood pressure and help us get better sleep.
This is one of my favorite versions, so enjoy this practice right here.

Causes of Sudden Cardiac Death in Young People
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
Sudden cardiac death is rare in people younger than 35, but infrequently you may read about a young and apparently healthy person who suffers one, usually while engaged in a physical activity such as sports.
In fact, about 7,000 children die from sudden cardiac death annually, the American Heart Association says. These young people are usually boys, and the cause is most often an undiagnosed heart problem.
Special: More Than 50% of Older Americans Fail to Get Enough Magnesium
The causes for sudden cardiac death in young people are similar to those in adults, except these conditions are most often hereditary when they occur in young people, as opposed to those which can develop later in adults. Some specific causes of sudden cardiac death in young people include:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In this usually inherited condition, the walls of the heart muscle thicken. That thickened muscle can disrupt the heart's electrical system, leading to fast or irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), which can lead to sudden cardiac death. Although not usually fatal, HCM is the most common cause of heart-related sudden death in people under 30. It's the most common identifiable cause of sudden death in athletes. Unfortunately, HCM often goes undetected.
Coronary artery abnormalities. Sometimes people are born with coronary arteries that are connected abnormally. The arteries can become compressed during exercise and fail to provide proper blood flow to the heart.
Long QT syndrome. As with adults, this inherited heart rhythm disorder can cause fast, chaotic heartbeats, and often leads to fainting in young people.

Take Magnesium Along With Vitamin D
By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs
When Magneto — a Marvel Comics mutant who generates and controls magnetic fields — teamed up with the X-Men, it came as a surprise that the once-villainous character was now on the good guys' side.
But sometimes, the good guys need a hand to get their work done.
Special: The Magnesium Miracle…More HERE!
That turns out to be the case with the super-vitamin/hormone D. True, it defends your immune health and neuromuscular function; it also protects bone strength, modulates cell growth, and reduces inflammation.
But according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it can't do all that if it doesn't team up with magnesium. If your body doesn't have enough magnesium, synthesis of vitamin D gets shut down, and so does its metabolic pathway.
Many people take vitamin D supplements. According to the Cleveland Clinic, 35% of U.S. adults have a vitamin D deficiency.
But magnesium deficiency flies under the radar, even though around half of U.S. adults don't get enough to meet the daily recommended dietary allowance of 410-420 mg for women and 360-320 mg for men.
That makes a difference, and not only for powering up vitamin D. According to a study in BMC Medicine, an extra 100 mg of dietary magnesium daily could reduce your risk of stroke by 8% and Type 2 diabetes by 19%.
So, to maintain a healthy level of vitamin D, talk to your doctor about checking your magnesium level, too.
And increase your consumption of magnesium-rich green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts, and salmon.

| The Toxic Truth About Calcium with Sayer Ji and Ian Clark |
| Did you know that most calcium supplements on the market today are basically limestone? Yes, that's chalk. Conceal it within a capsule, a slickly glazed tablet, or in the form of a silky smooth liquid, and it is magically transformed into a "calcium supplement": easy to swallow, "good for the bones" and a very profitable commodity for both the dietary supplement and mining industries. After all, a sizable portion of the Earth's crust is composed of the stuff. Join Sayer Ji and Ian Clark for their discussion, TOMORROW, Tuesday, June 4 at 12pm EST. |

By now, we hope you have had the opportunity to check out our most recent webinar in which we examined important information about vitamin B12 and how it relates to so many aspects of health. Here's some additional information on vitamin B12 you may find to be of interest.
There are a few forms of vitamin B12 available in supplemental form, but the two forms we get the most questions about are methylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin.
There are other forms also, including the popular cyanocobalamin and lesser-known adenosylcobalamin. Chances are, you have seen at least one of these forms on your supplement label.
We cover all of these forms very thoroughly in our Mastering Raw Food Nutrition online course, but for starters here, we’ll take a look at methylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin.
Methylcobalamin is one of the human bioactive forms of B12 and is involved in a number of important reactions in our body, including the maturation of red blood cells and keeping our nervous system, brain, and blood vessels healthy. If one takes a methylcobalamin supplement, the body can use it essentially ‘as is’ for the activities in the body that require it.
Hydroxocobalamin is a naturally-occurring form of vitamin B12 that is made by certain bacteria, including some strains that live in soil. Not all types of bacteria make vitamin B12 and not all soil contains B12 producing bacteria. Yeast, mushrooms, and other types of fungus do not produce vitamin B12; neither do animals nor plants.
Like methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin is available as a supplement. Since hydroxocobalamin is not a human bioactive form, it needs to be converted in the human body to one of the bioactive forms. When someone takes a hydroxocobalamin supplement, their body needs to remove the hyroxo- portion of the molecule and replace it with, for example, a methyl group or adenosyl group and then use it from there.
We have also seen good results with other forms of B12 in the various delivery methods in our clinical practice, but some may work better than others depending on the individual situation. We are not attached to any particular form or delivery method, because as educators and clinicians, results are what is most important to us.
As with any other endeavor, when you are well-educated, you can much more easily see accurate information versus those trying to sell you ‘the latest and greatest’ supplements, and make better, well-informed decisions about your health that get you real results.
There’s a lot more to share about vitamin B12, since it’s such an important and fascinating nutrient. In our online class, Mastering Raw Food Nutrition, we have in-depth presentations on vitamin B12, so you can really know the ins and outs of vitamin B12, its supplemental forms, how the forms work together, and what the body does with them.
Beyond that you will learn which other nutrients work with vitamin B12 and what affect all of them working together have upon the various systems of the body, and how to structure the healthiest diet possible for nutrient synergy and overall well-being.
We cover this topic and so much more in our online Mastering Raw Food Nutrition Course beginning in late August, and can’t wait to share with our students how all of these topics fit together beautifully and synergistically!
If you are excited about spending a few (about 4) hours per week for one year, learning about raw food and whole food plant-based nutrition at an extremely thorough, comprehensive, and detailed level, you'll have the opportunity to be incredibly confident in your knowledge to be able to implement the maximum benefits of a plant-based diet for a lifetime of supercharged health.
If you are interested in learning more about the Mastering Raw Food Nutrition curriculum, we invite you to schedule a time to speak with us about the course to see if it is a good fit for you:
