I see a lot of health educators throw their weight around saying that they have more then a few decades of experience working one on one with clients, and then selling you the idea that acting based on your symptoms is just mimicking the allopathic pharma way of thinking. But what if we acknowledged our symptoms and used them as guiding lights instead of lab tests? Or you could do both. Natasha Snoeijer focuses on thyroid, hormone and metabolic optimization. She joins me to bring that "what about both?" energy to the health discussion. What if high...

In this solo show I break down what Alzheimer's disease is, why so many studies show that tobacco smokers have higher risk for Alzheimer's, how the vitamin K shot given to infants differs from vitamin K supplements, and the specific and multiple mechanisms of how vitamin K2 works to prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease. I talk about the relationship between cadmium, lead, and Alzheimer's disease. I spend quite a bit of time talking about the difference between nicotine supplements and smoking tobacco, and why smoking may not be as bad as everyone says if other things...

Known in the states as Kanna, the indigenous San and Khoi tribes in South Africa call it Sceletium.

Do you live in an older home or love purchasing cookware from thrift stores? You could be exposed to the heavy metal lead which can increase ADHD and lower IQ. It can also elevate blood pressure and even lead to more serious effects like heart attacks. Eric Ritter created an affordable at-home test called Fluoro-Spec that allows you to become a lead detective and nail down the source in your home.  In this interview he shares the history of lead, how social media influencers can easily sensationalize the numbers, how to view parts per billion amounts of l...

In this episode I answer questions that listeners sent in. They include: How did I become so successful? I talk about my journey with building my own business and how I started in my parents garage. Eventually I'll record an entire show telling the whole story in depth but I give the short version in this one. How to restore dental health in a breastfeeding mom? What is my blood clot protocol? What is a portable air filter that I like? What is a Mitolife supplement combo equivalent to a prenatal vitamin? What supplements do you take for ADD...

Recently there has been a plethora of articles painting the popular supplement methylene blue in a bad light. Some of the claims include: its synthetic so that makes it unsafe, it will stain your brain permanently blue, it will cause excessive serotonin in the brain, and that it could decrease mitochondrial function in people with healthy mitochondria, or that it can inhibit nitric oxide.  Dr Scott Sherr, COO of Troscriptions, returns to the show to debunk these arguments using sound science and reason. I have been ingesting methylene blue for five years now with some breaks and I...

A cancer diagnosis is a scary thing. It often comes out of nowhere and happens with people that are either living a healthier lifestyle or are close to others that do. Obviously the natural health community is missing pieces of the puzzle. This episode is an addendum to one I recorded four years ago about cancer solutions. I have changed my mind on a lot but also realized that I never explicitly defined what cancer is or where it's located in the previous show. I define what cancer is, exactly which part of the cell its found...

When we plug a new electronic device into our home we might think about how many watts it consumes but we never think about whether it could be a source of dirty electricity (DE). DE is created when a device switches power supplies and changes from DC to AC or vice versa with an inverter. It is a high frequency voltage transient that rides along the electrical wiring in your walls and radiates out into the center of the room. BD Erickson of Satic Shield joins us to talk about his research of nearly 20 years...

If you follow me on social media you may have seen me sporting a double barrel shotgun and opening up some quantum scalar devices to see whats inside of them. You would think that companies would be transparent and show the inner components on their website but they do not. There is a lot of proprietary language and that you just have to believe them that decades of research led to the product being groundbreaking and legitimate. The fact is that all of these scalar emitting and quantum devices are BS and a waste of money. I...

You are only as healthy as the environment you live in. From mold exposure to volatile organic compounds to electromagnetic radiation, the list of exposures that our body has to process is extensive. Holding a triple certification from the Building Biology Institute, Brian Johnson is cahgnign the way that we think about home construction. He educates builders and renovators about how to built a home free of harmful chemicals down to using recycled wood blocks instead of polystyrene foam blocks and wool insulation instead of fiberglass and formaldehyde insulation. In this episode he talks about his mold...

Candida overgrowth, chronic fatigue, anxiety, multiple chemical sensitivity and electrosensitivity were a few of Elizabeth Wells symptoms that led her to the liver flushing protocol. She realized that the gut cannot heal without the liver involved so she began the practice of liver flushing which involves removing a few things from the diet, taking a stone softener, fasting for half of the day and then drinking epsom salt, olive oil and grapefruit and lemon juice. In this episode she breaks down the details of timing and what to look out for. The reason why you...

Have you ever wondered how to properly detoxify your body?

In this episode we talk about how he uses hair tissue mineral analysis testing to assess someone's physical and psychological state, how to go about parasite cleansing, why glyphosate is an issue and what to do about it, why he thinks bile function is underrated, the d...

Dr Katie Woodley, integrative holistic veterinarian, joins us to talk about optimal cat health.

After a long break and many people inquiring about the shows return I feel grounded enough to restart and share my unique perspectives on human health and solutions to modern problems. Unlike other health educators that get stuck in one paradigm of thinking, I have made it part of my ethos to go against the grain. Rogue State of Mind is the new name for my podcast, formally Mitolife Radio, because I have gone rogue and I encourage you to do the same. My NEW overhauled website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife p...

Most people take the light in their life for granted. People wear dark glasses to block light during the daytime and nothing on their eyes at night. This gives the retina in the eye the signal that night time when its really daytime and that its daytime when its really night time. This small example illustrates how disconnected humans have become with their environment and this circadian mismatch coincides with the rise in neolithic diseases. Dr Alexander Wunsch has been studying the science of photobiology for decades and joins us to share his thoughts on how we...

What happens to our health if the body thinks that its daytime when its nighttime and nighttime when its daytime? Sarah Kleiner shares her experience healing herself of Hashimotos, IBS, skin issues, and birth complications. She talks about out how to optimize leptin and how the benefits of sunlight exposure are more about melatonin and less about vitamin D. She also talks about sunscreen, how long to expose our eyes to the sun in the morning, when the best time of year to use sauna therapy and drink deuterium depleted water, the deliterious effects of sunglasses, which...

Matt Maruca, founder of Ra Optics and the Light Diet joins me to talk about the healing power of sunlight and the dangers of artificial light.  He shares practical tips that one can integrate when traveling across time zones. He talks about why he likes to eat his biggest meal in the middle of the day, the specific problem with LED lighting, why the smart phone slow motion feature is not accurate to prove flicker rate of healthy bulbs, what the color rendering index means, why we want our indoor lighting to be at eye level or l...

When we think of artificial ultraviolet light we often think of tanning beds. Most are unaware that tanning beds only contain one part of the ultraviolet spectrum, causing cellular harm. The best way to dose ultraviolet light from artificial sources is to mix in some visible red and near infrared light; that is how the sun does it. Kris Sweeting, creator of EMR Tek, was raised with tanning beds in his bedroom since he was five years old. Diagnosed with vitiligo at 3, he committed his teenage years to solving that issue and succeeded using light therapy. <...
