Hello, Jimi!
In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Sam Berne, a holistic optometrist who naturally overcame his own struggles with eye pathology and learning disabilities (yes, the two can be connected!), thanks to the techniques discussed in this podcast.
Even if you’re not interested in eye health, I really want to encourage you to watch or listen to this episode—it’s must-know material to keep your eyes and brain healthy for life.
This episode was initially released in April 2018
In this podcast, Dr. Berne and I discuss:
  • The little-known fact that your eye tissue is actually BRAIN tissue that formed when you were in utero

  • The #1 question: Can eyesight or common eye problems like cataracts, macular degeneration, myopia, or glaucoma be reversed naturally?

  • The incredible role of the mitochondria in eye disease and how the eyes can become starved without proper stimulation

  • How Dr. Berne builds health back into his patients’ eyes, including his favorite techniques you can do at home!

  • The underlying factor that leads to glaucoma and the top 3 ways to address this diagnosis

  • A thorough list of potent eye and brain-supporting foods to add to your diet instead of relying on questionable antioxidant supplements

  • What is neurogenesis? And how this evidence-based concept relates to your eye health

  • 2 simple, actionable steps you can take to avoid damage from screens and blue light

  • The interesting connection between light and eye health—how much UV exposure is too much or not enough?

  • A huge reveal about the problems associated with cataract/intraocular lenses and why Dr. Berne believes they’re connected to macular degeneration

  • A hidden issue with electronic screens that you’ve never heard before that’s totally separate from overexposure to blue light!

  • The 20/20/20 rule that will save your eyes from screen time

  • The 4 main steps you must take to keep your eyes healthy and sharp for years to come!

Are you aware that there’s groundbreaking research that’s turning the tide on hormone replacement therapy myths?

This study reveals that Bioidentical transdermal hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) offers incredible health benefits, especially for women over 65.

Yes, you heard that right! This study shows how BHRT can significantly protect against cancer and improve overall health.

You may have been led to believe that women over 60 should not use hormones, or that somehow estrogen is bad for you, but this research sets the record straight once and for all.

Major Revelations from the Study:
This massive research involved 10 million Medicare women, analyzed from 2007 to 2020.

The study assessed the effects of different hormone therapies—types of estrogen/progesterone combinations, administration methods, and dosage strengths—on overall mortality, various cancers, heart diseases, and dementia.

Here are the jaw-dropping findings:

Estrogen-Only Therapy:
✅19% reduction in all-cause mortality
✅16% lower risk of breast cancer
✅13% lower risk of lung cancer
✅12% lower risk of colorectal cancer
✅5% lower incidence of congestive heart failure
✅3% lower risk of venous thromboembolism
✅4% reduction in atrial fibrillation
✅11% decrease in acute myocardial infarction
✅2% decrease in dementia risk

Estrogen and Synthetic Progestogen Combo Therapy:
❌Increased breast cancer risks (10%-19%) with synthetic progestins
❌Reduced risk with low-dose transdermal/vaginal estrogen plus progestin
❌45% lower risk of endometrial cancer
❌21% lower risk of ovarian cancer
❌Significant reductions in heart conditions

Implications for Bioidentical Transdermal Therapy

The study strongly indicates that lower doses and non-oral routes of administration, particularly bioidentical transdermal applications, are not only safer but also more effective.

The bioidentical formulation, especially estradiol (E2) rather than conjugated estrogens, was notably favorable in terms of safety and efficacy outcomes.

Why Choose Bioidentical Transdermal Therapy?

  • Steady Hormone Levels: Transdermal delivery minimizes fluctuations, mimicking the body’s natural rhythms.
  • Fewer Complications: This method reduces the risk of complications associated with oral hormone therapies, like thrombosis and liver issues.
  • Better Tolerance: Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those the body produces, leading to fewer side effects.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, like my colleague Dr. Michelle Sands, provides in their Healthy Hormone club, not only improves the quality of life, mood, body composition and overall health, but is also proven to prevent disease, especially cancer.

Exclusive Access: Dr. Michelle Sands', ND Insights on BHRT

I know that this goes against everything you may have been told by the media, your doctors, and your friends, but the science cannot be denied.

Dr. Michelle Sands, a licensed Naturopathic Physician with a special focus on perimenopause and menopause, is hosting an exclusive event to shed more light on hormone replacement therapy and provide actionable steps for better health outcomes.

Dear Jimi,

I hope you're happy to welcome this beautiful new day :).

Did you know that cancer will soon overtake heart disease as the #1 cause of death?

In fact, experts estimate that by 2030 nearly EVERY PERSON ON EARTH will be diagnosed with at least one form of cancer at some point in their life!

"Not on my watch!" says Jonathan Landsman, host of the Stop Cancer Docu-Class and natural health industry expert for over 35 years.

Jonathan recently assembled a group of the world's leading cancer experts to reveal all the 100% natural, effective ways you can avoid (and even overcome) a cancer diagnosis.

>>> Click Here to Watch This Lifesaving Event - At No Cost to You <<<​
​
The world-class speakers at this event include...

- Antonio Jimenez, MD, ND who runs 2 holistic cancer clinics - they've helped 1,000s of people bypass toxic chemotherapy and radiation treatments. (He reveals his 7-step treatment protocol.)

- Véronique Desaulniers, DC who successfully treated her own cancer diagnosis … not just once, but twice. (She's talking about how to kill cancer stem cells with plant medicine.)

- Edward F. Group, DC, NP ran a successful cancer clinic and had it shut down by the FDA for being outside conventional care. Dr. Group continues to devote his life to helping others heal through natural medicine. (He reveals a "secret" cancer treatment that has helped over 5,000 people get healthy!)

- Ronald Hunninghake, MD reveals the truth about IV vitamin C therapy … and why most clinics are NOT doing it effectively.

Amazing, right?

But that's actually a very small sample of the cancer experts (and solutions) to be presented at the WORLD PREMIERE of the Stop Cancer Docu-Class - starting Tuesday, August 13th.

>> See the entire schedule here and get complimentary access today!

Over-the-Counter Painkillers Can Kill

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Many people take pain relievers to manage arthritis, but they make the mistake of thinking that a pill is safe just because it’s sold over the counter.

The danger of overdosing on common medicines is all too real, especially when it comes to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

Special: More Than 50% of Older Americans Fail to Get Enough Magnesium

A large international study found that NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac raised cardiovascular risk as much as the drug Vioxx, the painkiller that was pulled from the market a decade ago by its manufacturer because of safety concerns over heart attack and stroke.

These drugs, and others such as naproxen, are not only hard on the heart, but can cause death and serious gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers if not taken as directed. And always talk to your doctor and do your research before taking more than one medication.

Free eBook: 12 Overlooked Causes of Cancer (learn how to use food to protect yourself and your family from cancer!)

From the Blog:

Victories in the Journey

And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

~ Romans 5:2-5

When we go through struggles, we find ourselves in a unique position to share our testimony. The interesting thing about this is that you aren't always having to wait until everything is "100%".

There's so much power is sharing our victories along the way. We've learned victory is not in the results, victory is in the journey. Learning how to thrive, not just survive during challenges is a victory in itself altogether.

You see, the key is to share the empowering part of the story, which is in the “little” victories along the way. We could certainly use the encouragement right now, are we right?

Share with us something that you've tackled recently and are finding success in. Just tap 'Reply' and let us know... we love hearing from you. :)

Want to take the guesswork out of food choices and meal planning?



Over the years, a number of students and potential students have shared with us that they’ve found lots of good meal planning resources in books, eBooks, on social media, and through their own experimentation.



But despite all of this, they still have underlying concerns such as:



  • Where are my nutrients coming from?
  • Am I getting what I need?
  • How do I know which nutrients are important and what about ones that I may not even be aware of?
  • Which foods are best eaten raw?
  • What if I want to cook something for myself or a family member - how are these nutrients affected by cooking?
  • Are all cooking methods created equal? What about cooked food toxins?
  • And the list goes on…


Have you found yourself in a similar situation or thought pattern?



If you have, you are not alone!



And your questions and concerns are likely more common than you may think…



Every summer for the past nine years, we have spoken on the phone or Zoom with people interested in determining if our Mastering Raw Food Nutrition 12-month online and interactive program is a good fit for them.



There are a number of reasons why people want to take our class and one of the biggest is that they want to take the guesswork out of food choices and meal planning.



They want to have answers to their questions so they can make confident choices for themselves and their families.



It can make all the difference in one’s success in achieving one's health goals in the short-term and for a lifetime!



  • Would you like to know where to get important nutrients and understand meal planning from a nutrient-perspective, while fitting all the other dietary pieces of health into the equation synergistically as well?
  • Would you like to feel confident about your dietary choices and eliminate second-guessing?
  • Would you like to get your questions answered about raw food and plant-based nutrition?
  • Would you like to learn what potentially game-changing information might be missing from your raw food or plant-based knowledge-base?
  • Would you like to learn how to structure a fruit and vegetable-centered diet for long-term sustainability and success in the real world?


If you’ve answered yes, to any of these questions, we encourage you to schedule a time to speak with us about what Mastering Raw Food Nutrition can do for you:



https://masteringrawfoodnutrition.as.me/schedule.php



Mastering Raw Food Nutrition is our continually-updated 12-month comprehensive raw food and plant-based nutrition online and interactive program that we have been teaching online and in-person for over 18 years.



Our next class starts on August 28, 2024.



If you are excited to spend about 4 hours per week for one year, learning about plant-based and raw food nutrition at an extremely thorough, comprehensive, and detailed level, you'll have the opportunity to be confident in your knowledge to be able to implement the maximum benefits of a raw and plant-based diet for a lifetime of supercharged health.



We invite you to schedule a time to speak with us about Mastering Raw Food Nutrition to see if it is a good fit for you:



https://masteringrawfoodnutrition.as.me/schedule.php



We look forward to speaking with you soon!



Healthfully yours,

Hey Jimi,
These are exciting times that we’re living in because in as much as there are SO many dangers around us that are targeting our health…
REAL compassionate health experts are also finding solutions to help people like YOU.

I recently spoke to Dr. Eric Zielinski who is doing AMAZING work in the cancer space and you won’t believe what he shared with me!​
​
“Yeah, there is so much to be said about what plant medicine can do for an individual, and maybe the context of this discussion is to even understand what an essential oil is. An essential oil is the volatile, organic compound in the plant, that once you extract from a considerable amount of plant matter, you get little drops. So this is a concentrated plant manner. This is the closest thing we have to medicine because of the concentration.”
It turns out that…as simple as these essential oils may seem to be…they have amazing power to help those with CANCER. Dr. Z said…
“Essential oils are the basis for every medicine that we take today there's nothing that I know that could help with symptoms related to cancer and cancer treatments like essential oils. In addition, essential oils are extremely cytotoxic to cancer, viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. And so research, preliminary research has shown that they literally kill cancer cells. And there's also a different mechanism that essential oils can help with.”

This is honestly so GROUNDBREAKING….and this is why I had to share it with you.
There are SO many hidden solutions out there that can give so much hope to those in dire health situations…
But they are not spoken about enough.
That’s why I introduce to you my latest docuseries, Healing Genesis…

>>> Watch the Healing Genesis trailer HERE
This docuseries is a warm embrace for those who've felt alone on their health journey…
A guiding light in the darkness of misinformation...
And a warning about the price we pay when we blindly accept the status quo.
It's time to take charge of your health, unlock the power of your body, and embark on a transformative journey towards wellness.
You can expect to:
  • Discover how your body has the incredible potential to heal itself when given the right support.
  • Gain insights into the nature of chronic diseases and why so many struggle to find effective solutions.
  • Find encouragement and guidance on how to navigate the fear of societal judgment when choosing alternative health paths.
  • Dive deep into the world of regenerative medicine and learn about holistic approaches to wellness.
  • And SO much more!
​
You’ll hear from over 40+ of the world’s top medical doctors and natural health experts who share the uncensored truth about highly effective ways to reverse disease with natural medicine protocols…
Healing Genesis relaunch begins August 5th, and it will feature breakthrough after breakthrough…

But our world-class holistic experts hold nothing back.
Don't miss Healing Genesis, where healing begins…hope is rekindled…and the truth about your health takes center stage.
Join us on this life-changing healing journey because you deserve to live your best, healthiest life.

Chronic inflammation might be silently wreaking havoc on your body, but there's good news—you can fight back with some simple yet powerful lifestyle adjustments.



Proven Strategies to Reduce Chronic Inflammation​

  • Eat Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Imagine filling your plate with vibrant fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fatty fish. By limiting or eliminating foods that promote inflammation, you can significantly improve your overall health.
  • Get Moving with Regular Exercise: Picture yourself engaging in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise each week. Add muscle-strengthening activities, and you'll see a reduction in inflammation levels and an increase in energy and vitality.
  • Prioritize Adequate Sleep: Think about getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Good sleep is a cornerstone of health, playing a crucial role in managing inflammation and helping your body recover and thrive.
  • Manage Stress Effectively: Visualize practicing meditation, yoga, or mindfulness. These stress-reducing techniques can combat chronic stress, which is a known contributor to inflammation, leaving you feeling calmer and more centered.
  • Maintain a Healthy Weight: Consider the benefits of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and exercise. It's not just about looking good—it's about controlling inflammation and promoting long-term health.
These tips are great, but the most important step you can take is to educate yourself.

Did you know there are tons of different intermittent fasting methods?
Not just your typical 16:8 or the ever-popular breakfast skip (which, by the way, I do NOT recommend).
I'll admit, some of these "methods" can actually backfire.
And let's face it:
Most of them may not even be the right fit for you.
But today, I'm here to help you cut through all the noise.
We now know there is a specific eating window that, when practiced consistently, can offer the most benefits to women in midlife, like.
  • Increased fat loss
  • Reduced cravings
  • Improved energy and metabolic health
  • Better blood sugar balance
  • Enhanced brainpower
  • ...and more!
Plus, it's easy to follow, requires no crazy restrictions, and just about every woman can do it.
All it takes is a little extra preparation.
Curious to know how it works?
If you've been feeling stuck, this method be exactly what you need to break through and start getting results.
I can't wait to hear where you're at 30 days from now.

Did you know that as a highly sensitive person (HSP), you regularly experience small doses of trauma, known as micro-traumas?

It’s because you’re constantly processing a massive influx of information from your surroundings, says Dr. Natasha Fallahi, mind-body health expert and functional medicine practitioner.

When this trauma keeps you from returning to your homeostatic baseline, the place where you feel like your true self, then your mind, body, and spirit remain stuck in a liminal state of overwhelm.

Thankfully, there’s hope.
​


Discover an evidence-based, mind-body approach to nourishing and healing yourself as a sensitive person… AND experience it firsthand with a relaxing somatic meditation to release limiting beliefs held in your body.

​
​
Join Dr. Natasha on Saturday, August 10, for a special Shift Network event as she shares the tools she uses to help her patients recover from trauma — including nervous system regulation techniques, nutrition for stress reduction, somatic movement practices, bodywork, mind-body connection, energy healing, and more.

I am a soup guy. I love soup year-round. And since I moved from the Seattle area to Arizona in 2008, I have become an even bigger fan of gazpacho.

Gazpacho is a cold soup that originated in Spain. Most often it is composed of raw tomatoes and a mixture of uncooked summer vegetables or fruit along with olive oil, vinegar, and garlic and/or onions.

It is not only delicious and refreshing, having gazpacho as part of your meal is also a super fast and easy way to boost your health with a blender or VitaMix. Here is one of my favorite quick and easy gazpacho recipes.

Dr. Murray’s Fresh Watermelon-Tomato Gazpacho.

Ingredients per 4 servings
1 or 2 large tomatoes
1 green bell pepper (or serrano pepper)
2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed or balls
¼ cup organic extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons minced white onion
½ medium cucumber, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil (or dill)
½ teaspoon Dr. Murray’s Ideal Salt™
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions: To prepare the gazpacho, start with placing the tomatoes, red bell pepper, and one cup of the watermelon into the blender to puree. Then add the apple cider vinegar and olive oil and hit the pulse button for a second or two. Add the onion, cucumber, basil, and my Ideal Salt then puree until smooth and pour the mixture into bowls. To finish, parcel out the remaining watermelon and the feta into the bowls. Season with fresh ground pepper as desired.

For Women, Sleep Disturbances May Increase Depression Risk
Eight hours of shuteye every night sounds nice, but keeping a consistent sleep schedule can be easier said than done. A recent study found that significant changes in sleep schedules for women in midlife can increase the risk of depression and is most likely to occur in the years leading up to menopause as sleep disturbances increase.
What the researchers noted is that during the menopausal transition, ovarian hormones fluctuate, causing the circadian rhythm to lose stability. Drawing data from a long-term study that initially began in 1996 and included 1,579 premenopausal women, the researchers monitored the women’s sleep habits about once a year to monitor the transition through menopause.
From the participants' self-reported sleep habits, researchers found that 81.6% of the participants experienced mild changes in their sleep midpoint – which is measured as the halfway point between bedtime and wake time – and 12.1% experienced severe changes. Plus, 496 of the women developed symptoms of depression. The study concluded that women who experienced significant changes in sleep midpoint had a 57% higher chance of developing depressive symptoms compared to those with mild changes.
Heavy Resistance Training Can Improve Strength + Prevent Falls
The benefits of exercise are no secret, but heavy resistance training has especially important benefits for older adults. With age comes a decline in muscle function, increasing the risk of falls. A new study has found that resistance training, which involves weighted exercises, can help with muscle strength and lead to long-term benefits.
The trial followed 451 older adults: one group completed a year of heavy resistance training, another group completed moderate-intensity training, and a third control group did not undergo training. For the heavy resistance training group, participants used machines for weighted exercises, such as chest presses and leg curls. The moderate-intensity training group did bodyweight exercises, such as squats and pushups, as well as some activity with elastic resistance bands.
When the researchers collected data three years after the training program concluded, they found that the leg strength in the heavy resistance group remained consistent from its baseline performance while the other groups saw a decline in leg strength. It was found that heavy resistance training preserves muscle function, which can have long-lasting benefits for older adults.​

Late Onset Anxiety May Raise Parkinson’s Risk
It’s estimated that 10% to 20% of older adults have an anxiety disorder. Now a recent study suggests an onset of an anxiety disorder after age 50 may raise the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, which is a nervous system disorder known to impair movement and speech and worsen over time. This insight may help doctors to diagnose and treat Parkinson’s in its earlier stages. (More)
Heart Issues Can Boost Dementia Risk, Significantly
Dementia affects millions of older adults and has been studied for decades, yet experts are finding that the risk factors are changing. Researchers collected data from 27 papers written over 70 years to assess risks, including hypertension, obesity, diabetes, smoking habits, and education level. What they found is smoking and education have become less commonly associated with dementia, while cardiovascular health is a stronger predictor. (More)
5 Must-Know Facts About Chlorine & Swimming
While there’s nothing more refreshing than a dip in the pool on a hot summer day, if the chlorine levels are too high, it can impact your health.

Compelling Health Fact
Did you know your liver is one of the few organs in your body that can regenerate itself? Even if part of it is damaged or surgically removed, it can grow back to its full size and functionality. The liver detoxifies the blood by filtering out harmful substances, helping to cleanse and purify the body.​

Could Bathing in Ice Cold Water Boost Your Immune System?
Not long ago, we came across one of the most life-changing discoveries ever!

Some call it a “healing tub,” others say it’s “ice dipping”...

Be that as it may, we’ve come to witness that cold plunging can have an undeniable impact on your health!

No wonder it’s gained SO much popularity among health enthusiasts all over the media.

But this amazing therapy isn’t just a social media sensation; it's backed by scientific research…

And centuries of traditional use in various cultures around the world.

Today, cold plunging is known to be effective for:
​
  • Reducing some of the biomarkers associated with autoimmune diseases
  • Slowing down tumor growth
  • Clearing glucose from the bloodstream and improving insulin sensitivity
  • Slowing down Chronic Kidney Disease progression by reducing inflammation
  • Reducing the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage
  • Improving gut microbiome balance
  • And so much more!

This cold water therapy has AMAZING benefits for the entire detoxification of your body.

One study said...

“Cold water plunges also cause your lymphatic system to contract, which promotes the flow of fluid through lymph nodes. This helps your body detox, lowers inflammation, and strengthens your immune system overall.”

Now, if you’re wondering exactly how to start using this at home…

Then you can’t miss out on the Cold Plunge Webinar hosted by our good friend, investigative journalist, humanitarian, and filmmaker, Jonathan Otto on Wednesday, August 14th, at 4pm US Eastern (New York time).

Learn more about the amazing benefits of cold plunging for chronic diseases and overall wellness...​

I just learned that the National Cancer Institute's 2024 budget is over $7 billion.
Yet, despite this massive investment, mainstream medicine seems no closer to finding "the cure."
And a startling truth remains hidden from the public eye:
There is a long list of holistic cancer therapies—many of which I have known about for years—that have been available since at least 1896.
Unfortunately, most of these potentially-lifesaving protocols have been systematically censored.
Which is why I’m so grateful for my friend Jonathan Landsman, who has been a natural health expert for nearly 40 years—and is doing the work to get this critical information to you.
Just this week, he released his top 10 censored cancer therapies as an eBook called Censored Therapies: Stop Cancer Holistically.
The information is so vital that he’s giving it away at no cost.
Every woman deserves to have this in their possession!

Hi Jimi,

The great Daniel Vitalis (bearded wild food expert in our Remedy docuseries) once shared a profound bit of wisdom about gut health:

"The understanding of the gut microbiome is going to overturn everything that we think we know about health, that we know about nutrition, that we know about medicine."

Scientists have actually nicknamed the gut microbiome your "second brain" because it has the power to change your mood and is the core of your immune system.

My good friend Dr. Tom O'Bryan has gone as far as to say that "ALL autoimmune diseases begin with a leaky gut."

If this is in fact true, then we have been shown the clear healing path when it comes to many chronic illnesses like type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, and scleroderma…

Heal your gut and the rest of your body will realign itself.

How best to do it? This is where Sarah Otto and Matt Potts come in. They have been helping thousands of people heal their gut naturally over the last decade and they just came out with a FREE eBook called The Top 18 Gut-Healing Remedies for Autoimmunity.

I highly recommend checking it out!

Click here to get your FREE copy

In this eBook, you’ll discover:

  • The ancient Egyptian "plant of immortality" that can soothe and heal your digestive tract
  • The favorite herb of Queen Elizabeth I that protects your stomach lining and quells inflammation
  • The amino acid that can repair leaky gut and curb cravings for sugar and alcohol
  • The apple-and-onion molecule, known as "Nature's Benadryl," that can mend intestinal permeability and alleviate allergies
  • And 14 more research-backed remedies to reset your gut microbiome and reclaim your health…
https://thesacredscience.com/18-gut-healing-remedies

Sarah and Matt are giving away this informative eBook as part of a free masterclass they are hosting called The Gut-Autoimmune Solution. This 10-part series will show you how to protect yourself against inflammation-related illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and cognitive decline. Very powerful stuff!

Don't miss this opportunity to heal your gut, reset your physical health and brain function, and transform your life!

CDC’s days of illegally blocking users on X (Twitter) are numbered. ICAN is proud to announce that it is supporting a lawsuit that was filed yesterday against HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and CDC Director Mandy Cohen for unconstitutionally blocking Americans on CDC’s official X account.
ICAN’s attorneys filed the lawsuit on behalf of @TexasLindsay_ who is often critical of CDC policies on X. In retaliation, CDC’s official X account blocked her account, preventing her from viewing or commenting on any further updates posted by CDC.
Blocking citizens from an official government social media account in order to exclude or suppress their ability to express their viewpoint is a blatant violation of the First Amendment.
The complaint asks the court to order CDC to unblock and declare that CDC violated the First Amendment. This litigation is aimed to protect all Americans who have been illegally blocked by CDC. We will keep you posted as this important lawsuit progresses.​
