Are you familiar with the elimination diet trap?

You start by cutting out one food (usually gluten or dairy).

Some of your symptoms seem to reduce.

But then they come back as soon as you eat those foods again.

Down the line, you may notice symptoms flare from something else.

So you eliminate another food (maybe eggs). And another (soy). And another (nightshades).

Eventually, the list of SAFE foods feels like it could fit on a sticky note.

At some point, you begin living your life around the avoidance of food.

That’s when elimination turns into something else: a prison.

The thing is, long-term elimination diets can actually make food sensitivities worse.

When you restrict foods without addressing WHY your body is reactive in the first place, several things happen:

1) Your microbiome loses diversity.
The bacteria in your gut need variety to stay balanced. Restrict too many foods for too long, and beneficial strains die off while problematic ones take over.

2) Your immune system becomes more sensitive.
Without regular exposure to a variety of proteins, your regulatory T-cell function declines. Your body starts flagging more foods as threats. The reaction cycle deepens.

3) Chronic inflammation sets in.
Dysbiosis and loss of gut-immune integrity increases pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and IL-17 further reducing regulatory T-cell function.

4) Your nervous system learns that food is a threat.
Every meal becomes stressful. Food-driven stress keeps your body in fight-or-flight mode, which interferes with digestion, slows detoxification and increases food reactivity.

This is why people get stuck in a cycle: eliminate more foods, react to more foods, symptoms get worse, eliminate even more.

The list shrinks. The anxiety grows. Food becomes the enemy. Your life gets smaller.

But elimination was never meant to be the solution.

It's supposed to be a temporary tool while you fix what's actually broken.

If you’re ready to finally eat without fear, then make sure you:

Save your seat for the ALL-NEW Food Sensitivity Summit.

** And make sure you check out the video after you register, where you’ll find a little-known tip you can start using today to soothe your gut and start reducing food reactions.

At this FREE online event, you’ll discover:

* Why elimination alone doesn't work - The deeper dysfunctions that keep your body reactive even when you avoid triggers

* How to restore immune tolerance - So your body can safely process foods it currently rejects

* The right way to use elimination - As a short-term diagnostic tool, not a permanent lifestyle

* How to rebuild gut resilience - Repair the gut barrier, rebalance the microbiome, calm immune overactivation

* The step-by-step reintroduction process - How patients have successfully expanded their food options after years of restriction

Experts like Dr. Datis Kharrazian, Dr. Aristo Vojdani, and Dr. Keesha Ewers will show you the latest, scientifically-proven strategies that actually work.

Because the truth is, it takes about a decade for the health breakthroughs to make their way to your doctor's office.

But you don’t have to wait for that clarity.

This summit connects you directly with the clinicians and researchers who are applying these emerging approaches right now, so you can move forward with confidence instead of frustration.

The goal isn't to perfect your avoidance list. The goal is to expand what you can safely eat.

Sign up for the Food Sensitivity Summit and learn how to finally end the cycle of restriction.

Wishing you abundant health,

Jason Prall

Hi there Jimi,

COzone therapy has been used for over 100 years, but remains largely unknown in mainstream American medicine despite extensive published research.

In the latest episode of the Gordon Medical Forum podcast, Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Dr. Frank Shallenberger, who has practiced ozone therapy for 40 years and leads the American Academy of Ozone Therapy, to discuss how ozone works by donating electrons to cells, regenerating NAD from NADH, and stimulating mitochondrial function and endothelial healing.​
Dr. Shallenberger shares clinical observations of rapid improvement in acute viral infections with high-dose protocols, explains how lower doses support chronic conditions by improving circulation and reducing inflammation, and introduces ozonated glycerin as an emerging approach for treating tumors and joint pain with sustained therapeutic effects.​

Newsletter #933: States Fight Back as Neonicotinoid Seed Treatments Decimate Bees

GIVE BEES A CHANCE

Two States Said No to Bee-Killing Pesticides. Yours Can Too.​

In 2023, New York made history by passing the Birds and Bees Protection Act, banning neonicotinoid coatings on corn, soybean, and wheat seeds. Vermont followed in 2024 with a similar law. These two states proved that meaningful action against bee-killing pesticides is possible, even while the federal government looks the other way. Their victories are now a model for the rest of the country.
The need is urgent. A single neonic-coated seed carries enough toxin to kill 250,000 bees, yet these treated seeds are completely exempt from EPA regulation. Last season, beekeepers lost over 55% of their hives, the worst on record. Meanwhile, over 95% of pregnant women carry neonics in their bodies. The pesticide grows into the plant and can’t be washed off our food or filtered from our drinking water.
New York and Vermont showed us the path forward. Now it’s your state’s turn. Contact your state legislators today and tell them to follow New York and Vermont’s lead. If two states can stand up to Bayer and protect pollinators, children, and our food supply, so can yours.

INDIGENOUS FOODWAYS

Kickapoo Chef Crystal Wahpepah Presents the Powerful Healing Properties of Intertribal Cuisine​

by Kate Nelson, Civil Eats:
“Chef Crystal Wahpepah’s story is one of intertwining threads, as is her cuisine. The food she serves at her eponymous Oakland restaurant, Wahpepah’s Kitchen, reflects her mixed-raced Kickapoo, Sac and Fox, and African-American heritage. Dishes like wild rice fritters, three-bean bison chili, and blue corn mush take their influences from the two places she calls home: her San Francisco Bay Area hometown of Oakland and Shawnee, Oklahoma, where her Indigenous ancestors were relocated in the 1800s and where she spent childhood summers with extended family.
It’s fitting, then, that Wahpepah’s first cookbook, A Feather and a Fork, publishing on March 17, centers on intertribal foods. While the 125 recipes are largely informed by her Kickapoo heritage, there are also clear nods to other Indigenous communities, including the Ohlone people, who stewarded the place now known as Oakland for millennia before European arrival and are increasingly reclaiming their relationship to the land.”
Those recipes—titled in both English and Kickapoo—are accompanied by pointers on ingredient sourcing and rich storytelling about Wahpepah’s life, her tribe’s history

NEW ANALYSIS

Secret GRAS: How 100+ Food Chemicals Bypassed Government Safety Review​

Maricel Maffini, Ph.D. & Melanie Benesh, EWG:
“Thousands of everyday food products potentially could contain substances that carry unknown health risks, a new EWG analysis finds.
Although Congress intended for most food chemicals to be rigorously reviewed before being introduced into the market, the reality of food chemical review is far different. A flood of unregulated and potentially unsafe substances has been allowed in many products Americans eat.
Chemical and food manufacturers have rubber-stamped at least 111 food chemicals for use in numerous products, from cereal to snack bars, sports drinks, and more.
Presence on the list of 111 food chemicals EWG identified does not mean a substance is harmful. But food companies have made their own safety determinations about these chemicals, without notifying the Food and Drug Administration and often while keeping details about their safety a secret, according to the analysis.

Of the 111 substances identified in the report, 49 chemicals are listed as ingredients in thousands of food products in the Branded Foods Database.”


For consumers, this means a wide range of popular food and drink items may contain chemicals the government has never reviewed for safety

HEALTHY LIVING

Berries, Apples, and Citrus Linked to Greater Happiness and Optimism​

by Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D., News.Medical.net:

“Higher intake of flavonoid-rich foods was modestly associated with a greater likelihood of sustained happiness and optimism compared with the lowest intake group. This suggests that a flavonoid-rich diet may be linked to psychological well-being over time. Among individual foods, higher intake of strawberries, apples, oranges, and grapefruit was linked to a small increase in sustained happiness of around 3–8 %. For optimism, the effect was larger for strawberries, blueberries, apples, oranges, and grapefruit, with the likelihood of sustained optimism approximately 10–16 % higher, suggesting that certain fruits may be particularly beneficial.

Both total flavonoid intake and specific subclasses, including flavones, flavanones, anthocyanins, and flavonols, were associated with a higher likelihood of sustained happiness and optimism. The strongest effects were observed for optimism, with risk ratios indicating up to an 18 % higher likelihood, suggesting that certain flavonoid types may be particularly relevant to positive psychological well-being.”

Women with moderate or high levels of happiness or optimism were more likely to maintain higher flavonoid intake over time

NEW RESEARCH

Were You Born to Love Music?​

by Kristen French, Nautilus:

“Acclaimed Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov believed that aesthetic pleasure was a full-bodied experience. Nabokov, who was celebrated for his rich, evocative prose, got what he called a ‘telltale tingle’ when he encountered masterful works of literature or art. He claimed these shivers up the spine were a sign of artistic sensitivity, even genius. But whatever pleasure Nabokov took in literary elegance didn’t carry over to music. Even though his son, Dmitri, was an opera singer, the elder Nabokov described himself as having ‘no ear’ for music and reportedly found concerts boring and irritating.


Nabokov’s finicky tingle hints at a long-standing mystery: Why does a particular splash of paint on a canvas or musical phrase wreck one person while leaving another cold? Cognitive scientist Giacomo Bignardi has been working to untangle this scientific knot for years. Now new research from Bignardi and a team at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics suggests that at least part of the answer lies in our genetic inheritance.



Bignardi and his colleagues gathered data on more than 15,500 people in the Netherlands, including data on common genetic variants as well as their responses to questions about whether they tend to get chills in response to music, poetry, or art.”

The results suggest that what we may experience as personal, even ineffable responses to art could be partly passed down to us from prior generations like our eye color or temperament

CULTURAL HERITAGE

Italian Cooking Protected Under New Unesco Rules​

BBC Newsround:

“Italian cooking has been awarded a special cultural heritage status by the United Nations’ cultural agency Unesco.

This means that Italian cooking traditions and practices have been officially recognized and listed as an ‘intangible cultural heritage’.

Italy already has 21 other traditions on Unesco’s list, including Neapolitan pizza making and opera singing, but it is the first country to be recognized for its food rather than for a single tradition or recipe.

On the list, Italian cooking is described as a ‘means of connecting with family and the community, whether at home, in schools, or through festivals, ceremonies and social gatherings’.

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a statement: ‘We are the first in the world to receive this recognition, which honours who we are and our identity. For us Italians, cuisine is not just food, not just a collection of recipes. It is much more, it is culture, tradition, work, and wealth,’ she said.”

Intangible Cultural Heritage status is awarded when something is recognized as being an important part of a country’s culture

Hello Jimi
When people think about aging, they often focus on visible changes.
Wrinkles.
Lower energy.
Physical limitations.
But the most important changes often happen quietly beneath the surface.
Circulation patterns shift.
Inflammation increases.
Sleep quality changes.
Metabolism becomes less efficient.
And the brain — our most complex organ — begins to face increasing stress.
The good news is that many of these factors are modifiable.
Small changes in sleep, stress regulation, circulation, and metabolic health can dramatically influence long-term brain resilience.
Later this month I’ll be hosting a live webinar where we explore these ideas in depth.
More details soon.

🛌 Where You Spend 1/3 Of Your Life​

Most bedding is loaded with nasty stuff you honestly don’t want to be sleeping in.​
When it comes to finding materials that are a huge step up from the typical big-box options, Quince is one of the least expensive places to start. If you’re trying to make your home less “chemically,” BROWSE these textile options.
Not everything there is held to the highest organic standard, so use common sense and choose intentionally…but these kinds of fibers are night-and-day different from petroleum-based synthetics. Look around for the items that suit your goals, because the best picks come in noticeably lower than what you’ll find elsewhere for comparable quality.​
(And other than your underwear) If you only upgrade one category of fabric in your life, make it bedding. We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, pores open, ideally in recovery mode, not reabsorbing hidden residues from the very place we’re supposed to be restoring. Start by upgrading your sheets, pillowcases, and duvet basics – then expand from there.​
For the love of all that’s natural…please stop sleeping plastic (polyester).​

Hello ,

Leeks might just be one of spring's most underrated vegetables and they're so good for your hormones.

They're a sister vegetable to onions and garlic, but with a much more delicate flavor and they bring some wonderful benefits for hormone balance and overall health.

Though you can find them year-round, spring is when they're most abundant, making this the perfect time to start cooking with them.

Here's why your hormones love them:

🌿 Rich in folate — supports healthy detoxification pathways

🌿 Contain prebiotic fiber (inulin) — promotes healthy gut function and hormone balance

🌿 Packed with antioxidants — help relieve oxidative stress in the body

🌿 Phytonutrients and sulfides — help regulate cholesterol and fight inflammation

🌿 Support mood, cognitive function and memory retention

This week's recipe is one of my favorites, a simple, nourishing frittata that works beautifully for breakfast, lunch or dinner.



mail
Leek Frittata Serves 4

Ingredients:


  • 2 cups leeks, cleaned and chopped
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup packed spinach
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:


  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium oven-safe skillet, warm avocado oil over medium heat. Add leeks and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté for an additional 7–8 minutes. Add spinach and allow to wilt.
  2. While vegetables are sautéing, crack and whisk eggs together with sea salt. Pour whisked eggs into the skillet. Do not stir.
  3. Allow to cook on the stove top for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
I love to top mine with sliced avocado and salsa. You can also swap in other veggies, asparagus would be a wonderful addition!

Simple, satisfying and nourishing any time of day.

I hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you make it! 💛

Love,

Robin xo

How Do the Right Nutraceuticals Help Lower PSA?




Recently, numerous patients reported a reduction in their Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test after starting the prescribed lifestyle regimen. They wanted to know what precisely caused such a drop in PSA.



All were keen on ImmunoPCTN and GDtoxSel as the cause of such a reduction, leading to favorable results. Besides following the prescribed lifestyle protocol for prostate cancer, a few already ate clean and exercised; the only difference was consuming ImmunoPCTN and GDtoxSel.



Can Dietary Supplements lower PSA?



In my clinical experience, I've seen specific dietary supplements lower PSA, but, as always, dietary supplements alone are one part of comprehensive lifestyle practices to keeping men cancer-free and PSA stable.



Aside from the whole program being more important than some of its parts, some research supports my clinical experience regarding the effect of dietary supplements on stabilizing PSA.



For example:

  • A combination of pomegranate, broccoli, green tea, and turmeric, compared to placebo, helped lower PSA in men after PSA recurrence after prostate cancer treatment by 63% compared to placebo.

  • When patients with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN), a precursor to prostate cancer, were observed, daily green tea extract supplementation for a year decreased serum PSA concentrations compared with placebo in two trials.

  • In combined LUTS and BPH, supplementation with selenium and Milk thistle (silymarin) for six months produced a significant reduction in PSA in the intervention group.

  • Lastly, broccoli extract stabilized PSA (increased PSA doubling time by 86% - a good thing) in a group of men with prostate cancer recurrence.
As you know, ImmunoPCTN and GDtoxSel contain all the mentioned ingredients plus more that help keep you well.



The PSA reduction from nutraceuticals is not a false positive. In other words, the decline in serum PSA is likely due to some anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative reasons, not the progression of disease despite a decrease in PSA number.



Despite the importance of taking focused dietary supplements to slow down PSA progression and improve longevity, exercise, diet, and the XY Wellness program as a whole are foundational to accomplishing such excellent outcomes.



Keep at it.

Billy is a classic meat-and-potatoes guy. So naturally, I've made it my mission to sneak more variety into our meals.

And this week's recipe is my latest win.

This Mediterranean eggplant salad is so yummy and so flavorful…

Smoky grilled eggplant, juicy tomatoes, crisp peppers, crunchy walnuts, and fresh herbs. All working together beautifully.

And Billy loved it. Like, "finished his plate" loved it. That pretty much says it all.

So if you're looking for a delicious way to bring more variety to your table... even for the pickiest eaters in your house…​

Dear Jimi,

I hope you're enjoying feeling amazing today :).

Did you know your body has cells whose only job is to find and kill cancer?

NK cells. Macrophages. Dendritic cells.

And standard chemo wipes them out.

Then you wait two to three weeks to recover. During that gap, cancer adapts. Dormant cells wake up. Mutations build. And your immune system is too destroyed to do anything about it.

This is the gap most treatment plans ignore.

But this doctor doesn't ignore it. He keeps the immune system active throughout treatment. Lower chemo doses. More often. Combined with immune training research spanning 50+ years at universities around the world.

Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. EST. He explains the full approach. Live. Free.

Your immune system shouldn't be collateral damage.

Hi Jimi,

That’s where learning how to create a simple home apothecary practice comes in.

This weekend, herbalist Kami McBride is teaching a workshop that explores one of the easiest ways to begin working with herbs for wellness — herbal oils.

Weight Loss Forensics Podcast:
If you find yourself getting offended by what people say… and then spiraling into emotional or binge eating later, you might not realize what’s actually happening under the surface.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the one condition that has to exist for someone to be offended, what your insults about others secretly reveal about you, and how this pattern connects directly to emotional eating.

Hi Jimi,

Have you found yourself trying every supplement or natural protocol you could find, yet nothing seems to change?

I understand just how frustrating that can be, especially when you’re doing everything you can to heal.

But there’s an important piece of the healing process that most people never hear about.

My research shows that diet, supplements, and medications only account for about 20% of your body's actual recovery.

Whereas I believe the other 80% often comes from emotional regulation and healing the deeper wounds stored in your nervous system.

Simply put, most of your physical recovery depends on addressing the emotional and nervous system patterns that most healing protocols completely ignore.

Discover how to heal the emotional patterns blocking your physical recovery

I know this might sound surprising, especially if you've been told that healing is all about what you eat, what supplements you take, or what treatments you undergo.

But here's what the research on psychoneuroimmunology is showing us.

Your emotional state and your nervous system regulation directly influence your immune function, your inflammation levels, your hormone balance, and your body's ability to repair itself.

Which means that if you're eating perfectly, taking all the right supplements, and following your treatment plan.

But your nervous system is still stuck in survival mode from unresolved emotional wounds, your body simply cannot heal the way it's designed to.

This is why deep somatic work, which addresses the body's stored emotional patterns and regulates the nervous system, is the true foundation for wellness.

Not because the physical interventions don't matter.

But because without a regulated nervous system, those interventions can't work at their full capacity.

Unfortunately, this is something you rarely hear discussed in a typical doctor’s office.

That’s why next Monday, 16th of March at 4:30 PM Eastern, I’m hosting a complimentary live session called The Nervous System Reset Experience: A Guided Breath & Meditation Session.

I’ll guide you through how to identify and release unresolved emotional patterns so your body can finally feel safe enough to heal.

In this live session, you'll discover:

Why emotional regulation is the 80% factor that determines your body's ability to recover and heal

How a regulated nervous system unlocks lasting emotional freedom, joy, and the self-realization everyone seeks

How your breath is one of the gentle and powerful somatic techniques that can address core wounds stored in your body, not just your mind

Why treating symptoms without healing the nervous system keeps you stuck in a cycle of temporary improvement and recurring problems

The practical tools you can use immediately to begin regulating your nervous system and creating the internal foundation for true healing

There’s honestly no better time for you to add the missing foundation that makes all of them actually work.

That’s why I really encourage you to come if you desire the lasting healing and emotional freedom you've been searching for.

Register for the complimentary Nervous System Reset Experience here


Wishing you health and happiness,

The conclusion is here.
Part 2 of Jefferey Jaxen Investigates: The Great American Food Fight is now available on HighWire.Plus—and this final chapter pulls the curtain back on the systems, incentives, and chemical influences that have helped reshape the American food supply.
In this concluding investigation, Jefferey Jaxen follows the trail from glyphosate and pesticide exposure to ultra-processed foods, artificial additives, infant formula concerns, and the deeper institutional failures that helped normalize it all. This is more than just a look at what’s in our food. It’s a thorough examination of how convenience, corporate power, regulatory loopholes, and public trust collided to create the national health crisis we are facing today.
Part 2 explores:
  • the growing battle over glyphosate and chemical exposure in the food supply
  • how ultra-processed foods and flavor engineering may be driving addiction-like consumption
  • alarming concerns surrounding infant formula, added sugars, and heavy metals
  • the contrast between U.S. food standards and stricter rules abroad
  • how families, farmers, and everyday Americans can begin reclaiming health one meal at a time
This is the conclusion of a powerful investigative series, and one of the clearest looks yet at the forces shaping what ends up on our plates, in our homes, and in our children’s bodies.
Watch Part 2 now on HighWire.Plus.

The future of America’s health will not be decided by headlines alone. It will be shaped by what we are willing to question, confront, and change.​

The research connecting environmental toxins to cancer is extensive and growing.
Glyphosate. Heavy metals. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Chronic inflammatory load from modern food, water, and air. These aren't fringe concerns — they're documented contributors to the cellular dysfunction that allows cancer to develop.
And yet when treatment begins, almost none of that gets addressed. The tumor gets targeted. The environment that created it does not. Which is a significant part of why recurrence rates remain what they are.
Dr. Jonathan Stegall approaches cancer differently. Yale-trained integrative oncologist, member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, bestselling author of Cancer Secrets. He combines conventional treatment with natural therapies that support immune function, reduce toxic burden, and restore the internal environment that cancer exploits.
A 10-year study backs his lower-dose approach. His patients lived longer. Fewer side effects. And the immune system stayed in the fight throughout.
He's going live Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. EST. One hour. Free.

So thankful that you’re making an investment in your health, your life and yourself.​
