The guests introduce compelling narratives about the environmental and health impacts of plastic use, particularly microplastics that defiantly breach the blood-brain barrier, settling in delicate bodily systems like the brain and testicles. This intrusion manifests in subtle yet harmful ways and forms a crucial part of the ongoing dialogue about modern health hazards.
In an effort to offer practical solutions, the panel emphasizes simple lifestyle adjustments. Suggestions include opting for non-plastic storage solutions, being mindful of the production process of foods, and supporting the liver with balanced nutrition to enhance its detoxification role. Tam John’s practical advice integrates seamlessly with Dr. Faulkner’s expertise, fostering a holistic view of personal health management.
Moreover, the idea of creating self-sufficient communities resonates strongly, as the group discusses the potential of greenhouses and local farmer’s markets. These initiatives not only encourage healthier eating habits but also strengthen the community bonds, empowering people to take control over their nutrition in a cooperative manner.
By the episode’s conclusion, listeners are not just informed, but inspired to reflect and act on the discussions presented. With a blend of expert advice and practical solutions, Dr. Faulkner and his guests clear a path toward a healthier, more informed lifestyle, sparking a conversation that extends beyond the episode and into everyday decisions.
Join Dr. Scott Faulkner as he fills in for John Rush in an engaging hybrid episode that blends the boundaries between health advice and political commentary. Discover the truths behind ultra-processed foods, the hidden estrogens in plastics, and the alarming decline of testosterone levels in men. Featuring expert guests and insightful discussions, this episode explores solutions for a healthier lifestyle amid modern challenges. Whether you're a health enthusiast or a concerned citizen, there's something for everyone to learn.
SPEAKER 10 :
This is Rush to Reason. You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you're scared. And you're scared because if you try and fail, there's only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 08 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 10 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did! Get a job, Turk! You haven't made everybody equal. You've made them the same, and there's a big difference.
SPEAKER 15 :
Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 19 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind? It's Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush, presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 03 :
Welcome back, listeners. No, it's not John. It's Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John on this Hybrid Thursday. Why do I call it Hybrid Thursday? Because it's not Health and Wellness Wednesday where we talk medical things. But as a physician, I like talking about medical things, but I can also talk politics. So that's what we're going to do is a little bit of both. So for those of you who are just getting in your cars, heading for home, please be safe. I have three guests here in the studio. I have Jack. Jack is a 17-year-old high school student who is one of my employees who is a world-class power lifter who lost 50 pounds from the time he was 14 years old because he was eating junk food. And in the first and second hours, we talked about highly processed foods and how damaging it is. We have Tam John here who is a – what are you again?
SPEAKER 05 :
I am a functional nutritional therapy practitioner.
SPEAKER 03 :
I will never get that down. I'll just call you the nutritionist. So the reason why Tam is here is, one, this is up her alley. She's an expert in this. But two, you know, I have a lot of patients on semaglutide and terazeptide, and they're asking for nutritional advice. Yes, you're getting me to lose all this weight, but am I eating the right foods? How can I help myself? So Tam is that expert. We have brought her into the office on Wednesday afternoons. So if you want to talk to Tam, a consultation, you can call my office, the 303-663-6990. And the girls have slots available for Tam and she can do a much better job of talking about your nutritional needs than I can. And then we have our good friend Brian here who is an expert in everything stem cell. You've been in the space for over 25 years.
SPEAKER 07 :
Mm hmm.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep. Yeah. Yeah. So to top off this third hour and final hour, we were going to continue talking about medical things. But during the break, Tam and I went on this rant about President Trump and his nominees. And do we think so and so is going to get appointed? And we decided, you know what, he better just go full throated, shove it down their throats and say, you know what? This is my second term. You guys hamstring me during my first one. You said Obama appointed how many people on a recess appointment?
SPEAKER 05 :
132 is what I was told.
SPEAKER 1 :
132.
SPEAKER 03 :
So we have people who are highly qualified. It saddens me to see Charlie just told us during the break that Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from the nomination. And that just sickens me what the swamp is trying to do. Our representatives are undermining our duly elected president who had a mandate both in electoral college and the total vote. So I think it's time to take off the gloves and just lay waste to the whole system. So I hope he goes nuclear on them. That's my opinion. May not be John's or this Radio stations, but that's my opinion. And since John's not here, I've got the microphone. I'm going to say it. So there you go. All right, let's get back to some medical things. So for those who are just getting in your car, again, we were talking about ultra-processed foods, yellow dye number five, how that was a byproduct that John D. Rockefeller had when he was creating gasoline. It's a byproduct of Coke, right? The coal? That's where this garbage comes from. He was looking for a way to offload it and started putting it in food. And then we started giving it to our kids.
SPEAKER 05 :
Isn't that interesting? Don't the Rockefellers have a lot to do with the pharmaceutical industry now and how that's affiliated with medical school? Did I hear that? Imagine that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, there are no coincidences, right? We started talking about seed oils and how soy is used for biodiesel and other things.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I mean, seed oils are in itself endocrine disruptors. So they mess up your endocrine system a ton. And that is nothing to shy away from that endocrine system operates your entire body. And if you didn't have that endocrine system, your brain wouldn't work, your heart wouldn't work, all that sort of stuff. And so when we see seed oils and soy in our foods, it's just like, why, why are they there? They could, they could use olive oil, avocado oil. Um, you said walnut oil, I believe.
SPEAKER 05 :
Walnut oil good for cooking. Yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
And then, and then we also see like red 40 and that's causing, um, like a caller said his kid to have ADHD and ADD. Um, and all these color dyes are just like, they're just screwing up everybody. Because it's just byproducts of stuff that people don't want to use and they throw it in our foods because it's another way to cheapen costs of production.
SPEAKER 05 :
And sadly, a lot of those foods are labeled as healthy. So the consumer is left not knowing. They may have the best of intentions. They think they're making a great choice. But in reality, it's not. It's the corn, it's the wheat, the soy, and the canola that are the big commodity crops. So those, unless they are labeled USDA certified organic, are absolutely tainted. They're not good.
SPEAKER 03 :
So let's make a distinction because we've got a lot of farmers out here on the plains growing primarily corn, not so much soy, but we've got some soy farmers. So, Tam, are you telling me that the corn that my farmer friends are growing and the soy in and of itself is bad? Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Let me preface everything with saying I love farmers. I come from a farming family, a homesteading family. So farming is near and dear to my heart. And I just love having my hands in the dirt doing anything that is about growing food. So farmers have a really hard job. And I think each farming circumstance is different in terms of how they're doing things and how their soil has been treated and what their seeds are like. So I am not an expert in that area.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. So I want to make a distinction for our farmer friends that we're not castigating you guys. We love you. Thank you for feeding us. The bumper sticker says, if you ate today, thank a farmer. So thank you because I ate today. But. Big Ag is putting so much pressure on these guys that they're using chemicals to pre-treat the ground, to keep bugs from destroying their crops, Roundup Ready seeds, where Monsanto says, OK, you use this, you can spray Roundup, and then suddenly it's getting into our food supply, and we're eating this garbage and we're feeding it to our kids. You were telling me that Cheerios has Roundup in it.
SPEAKER 05 :
It does have Roundup right along with Quaker Oats products. Yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Quaker Oats is amazing.
SPEAKER 03 :
They taste so good. Yes. So let's continue talking about hidden estrogens, right? So Jack, you were touching on hidden estrogens and plastics. So expand on that.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, so a lot of cadavers are being studied now, and they're looking at their brain. And their brain has a thing called the blood-brain barrier, and microplastics seem to just be able to pass right through it. So when we eat our food and it gets into our bloodstream and all that nutrients and the macros, also the plastic comes along with it. And what they're finding in cadavers is that there is about a teaspoon worth of microplastic or plastic in itself in the brain. And that's pretty alarming. I mean, it's, it's disrupting a ton of people. Um, if you listen to Andrew Huberman, great, great guy, um, great podcaster. He, um, touches on this a lot and people don't realize that their endocrine system is getting so screwed up because of their food that they're, that they're eating and the things that they're cooking in, like the plastic meal prep containers, they contain a lot of plastic. Um, it's, it's something that we can't really avoid because everything we use such as coffee cup liners, um, mcdonald uh cups oh my iced tea cup the iced tea cup now you have microplastics you're sipping on microplastics so it's it's it's something that we can't avoid and we should be aware of it but it's not something that we should be completely worried about because if we worry about that every single minute of our waking life then we're not gonna be able to live our full life
SPEAKER 05 :
There are some things that we can do to minimize the exposure to plastics. So you can take the bread out of the plastic bag, and you can wrap it in parchment, and you can put it back in the plastic bag. You can make sure that your containers are either glass or they're BPA free. You can make sure that your plastic wrap is bpa free um you can even look if you're buying a can of beans or a can of soup and make sure that that liner is bpa free so these are the forever chemicals that like jack said end up in our brain and i just won't hold back i did a presentation on this topic a couple of weeks ago so some recent research was talking about plastics being in testicles. So it's being linked to some very serious health conditions like cancer and so on. So the more that we do to minimize our exposure and we can also keep our body running healthfully by really doing things to support our liver. So the liver's primary job is detoxification. So the more that we do to free up the burden on our liver, and we can do that through nutrition, making sure we're getting complex carbohydrates, supporting our blood sugar balance, so on and so forth, helps to free our liver up so it can do its primary job of natural detoxification. So that will help to... for those forever chemicals and those plastics to be excreted as well as excreting unnecessary hormones, extra hormones. I'm not saying it very well from a medical perspective, Dr. Faulkner, but it just helps to keep us on a better track and dealing with everything that we have in our environment. to cope with as well so yes don't stay up and stress about it but just do one little thing you know take that bread wrap it in the parchment put it in the plastic and that's your thing that you're you're doing now and then next week maybe add one more little thing to to minimize your exposure to plastics in your food
SPEAKER 03 :
Fantastic. So we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back after this, and we'll continue talking about low testosterone levels that is wreaking havoc across the United States. This is Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John Rush, 560 KLZ.
SPEAKER 02 :

Veteran Windows and Doors challenge you to ask every window and door salesperson about the ratings of their windows and doors. Owner Dave Bancroft knows other window and door companies are trained only to sell, not on whether their windows are even engineered for your home. Dave has an app where he can show you the exact door the other company showed you, but Dave will also include the correct efficiency ratings and codes necessary for your home. The other companies' doors often don't meet code, energy-efficient ratings, or give you crucial tax credits on your products. Also, Veterans installation methods are far stricter than other companies. They do more flashing, sealing, and installation than is required to ensure your windows and doors are going to work the way they're supposed to. And Veteran now offers financing. Get 40% off and free installation when working with Veteran windows and doors by going to klzradio.com.

SPEAKER 17 :
This is Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, you're listening to your host, Dr. Scott Faulkner, filling in for John Rush here on 560 KLZ. So before the break, we were talking about low testosterone levels just wreaking havoc across the United States. and hidden estrogens and plastics. So, Tam, is there a connection?
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, I think absolutely. It's all connected, right? And our body is always prioritizing for us. So it's always working toward homeostasis, creating that balance, and it has to prioritize certain things now to save our life today, and other things go undone. I like to promote the idea of making the 1% healthy change. So just like I was saying before the break, doing that one thing to minimize plastic exposure, taking your oatmeal out of the plastic bag and putting it in a nice glass container.
SPEAKER 03 :
But not your Quaker oats, right? Because now that's got Roundup in it.
SPEAKER 05 :
We need your glutified certain fruit.
SPEAKER 03 :
Sorry, Jack.
SPEAKER 05 :
You're certified gluten-free. That's what I'm trying to say. Oats, yeah. You can still have oats.
SPEAKER 11 :
Thank you. I need that for my protein oatmeal. But yeah, testosterone is declining in men greatly. I think it was in the 1950s, men's average testosterone was in the 2500s. And now we're seeing it range from 200 nanograms per deciliter to 700. And that is a major decrease. This is just because, like you said, there's microplastics in our brain and our testicles. probably in our ovaries or not mine.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you for clarifying that.
SPEAKER 11 :
Just make it a great doctor. Yep. Um, and we can see in everyday life, um, you can walk down the street and you're like, what happened to these young, courageous men that used to walk around every other day? And it's like, now it's just soy boys that are, that are crowding the streets. And it's, it's pretty sad. Um, But yeah, it's definitely a major issue that not a lot of people talk about and that they kind of like stray away from because when you talk about TRT or HRT, people- Define TRT and HRT for the listeners. TRT is testosterone replacement therapy. So- People that are hypogonadal, which means that their testicles do not produce testosterone, they are needing of TRT. And when people are prescribed TRT, they are given testosterone shots, testosterone creams, that sort of thing. But when people think of testosterone, a lot of people immediately go to steroids. And then they go down this path of oh, steroids are bad, so TRT is bad. But in all reality, our body needs to stay at 1200 nanograms per deciliter at this day and age. And if our body's not there, then we're not performing at our best. And It's really sad that we're hiding this from everybody.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, well said. So, Brian, you asked Tam during the break. You're like, well, I live in an HOA-controlled subdivision with the little Nazi people who tell us you can't plant a tree and leave my garage door open. Because the answer for a lot of folks is get a greenhouse and grow your own. So you asked, Tam, the question, what about me? I live in a Nazi-controlled HOA.
SPEAKER 13 :
Which will not allow a hoop house or a greenhouse.
SPEAKER 05 :
I say get a little pot and sprinkle some lettuce seeds on that. And you can put that even in your sunny window this time of year. And you'll get this beautiful lettuce that will start to grow. And it'll be the best dang lettuce that you've ever tasted. And maybe the most nutritious food that you're eating regularly. at all because it's talk about farm to table right window sill to table sure so we can do things like that we can also set up you can do a little setup of like some t5 lights on some just basic shelving that you get from walmart or the hardware store And you can put some seed trays in and you can grow microgreens that way. And within three to five days, you'll have this supply of microgreens again. Right. So nutritious.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. And that goes back to my question earlier about maybe growing your own or locally.
SPEAKER 03 :
Like a farmer's market?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, farmer's markets. There are people growing sprouts and lettuces and mushrooms. And it probably doesn't get any better than that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes, that's a great option.
SPEAKER 03 :
So I have to plead ignorance here because I live down in Larkspur. So I know in the summertime and I'm putting in a greenhouse. So one of John Rush's sponsors is the Colorado Greenhouses. And I decided for myself, my family, we're going to make the investment. We're going to put one in. And they're gorgeous greenhouses. But, and maybe the listeners, somebody can call in and help me in my brain, are there farmer's markets? Because there's one in Castle Rock during the summertime, but I don't remember seeing any farmer's markets during the wintertime, like now.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don't know that there are. I'm not aware of them either.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. So maybe – we got smart people in Colorado. Maybe we get together in different neighborhoods or areas and create our own co-op and somebody say, well, here, let's all come together and put in a greenhouse and we all put in time and we all share the – The bounty.
SPEAKER 07 :
There you go.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right? Win-win. Yeah, it's a win-win. So somebody smart, give us a call. Help us set this up. So we're going to actually take a break. We have Sonia on the line. I want to make sure we give her plenty of time. Sonia, we'll get to you as soon as we come back. You're listening to Dr. Scott Faulkner and Friends on this hybrid Thursday, Rush to Reason.

Now, back to Rush to Reason, presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 03 :
Welcome back, listeners. This is Dr. Scott filling in for John Rush. Right before we took the break, I was asking the question, geez, where do you get microgreens and things like that? Are there farmer markets in the winter here in Colorado? Brian, you have a friend who grows microgreens? Yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
Go ahead. It's available year-round. It's microgreens, and there's a lot of them, a lot of different choices, as well as some mushrooms, which are very tasty. But it's called Charity, excuse me, Clarity Farms. Their number is 720-273-8855, and they also have clarityfarms.com. But it's a year-round availability of locally grown microgreens, which are wonderful.
SPEAKER 03 :
Fantastic. And if you're driving home right now, don't try and write this number down. It'll be on the website, John Rush, Rush to Reason, later this evening. So you can go back and listen to the entire three hours because you love listening to me and my friends. So we're going to take Sonia. So you guys, you might remember that Sonia is one of my frequent guests here in studio. Sonia unfortunately suffered from fluoroquinolone toxicity. And so she tried everything under the sun, finally found me. And Sonia, what do you have to say today?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, hi. How's everybody doing?
SPEAKER 03 :
We're doing great.
SPEAKER 06 :
Good. Can you hear me okay?
SPEAKER 03 :
We can.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, wonderful. Yeah, I just wanted to call in and think that I'm still doing pretty good after the stem cell treatment in March that we did. And I'm getting it done again on my knees, my right knee. I've got some chondromalacia. But other than that, my life has been, you know, around.
SPEAKER 03 :
Sonia, now suddenly I think you're moving around. We're having a bad connection. It's really hard to hear you.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, hold on. Let's get to a good spot. Let me know when it's good. Can you hear me, Jack?
SPEAKER 03 :
We can hear you.
SPEAKER 06 :
I'm going to try in here.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Can you hear me?
SPEAKER 03 :
Still a little fuzzy, but yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, hold on. Let me see if I go upstairs now. And I'll try. So, yeah, so things are going pretty good. Can you hear me now?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, we can hear you.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, good. Okay, wonderful. I feel like a commercial. Can you hear me now?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, so I've been doing pretty good. My back has been a lot better, which was my major nemesis at first. So now I'm just kind of dealing with the knee. I kind of have what's called... roving tendinopathy. So if I overdo something, my tendons will, will get bothered now that I'm, I think I'm moving more because of the stem cell treatments. Um, I think my knees started acting up. So just trying to address it using some of your techniques. I'm excited about the red light therapy and your clinic. And, um, yeah, so, It's been a great fit for me after 14 years of dealing with this to find something that has been helpful. And I hope more people will give it a go and try it before. I think by now, if I would have gone the traditional route, I probably would have had one, two, three, four. I had one surgery. I probably would have had like about eight surgeries.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you found us, Sonia. I'm glad you're doing better. Thank you for checking in with us, and we look forward to an update next time John asks me to host. So continue to do well, and we'll see you in the office.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right. Well, thank you. You're welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of your podcast on microgreens. It's fascinating.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes. Fantastic. So, Sonia lobbed a softball. So, yes, we have some exciting information to give our listeners for this last 20 minutes or so. As she said, we're actually bringing in a 10-spectrum red light bed to help people with their mitochondria. because a lot of folks, their mitochondria is just so dysfunctional. So we're going to be bringing that in in about a week and a half to the office, again, to help folks without giving them pills and shoving it down their throats. We're bringing in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. So the beautiful thing about—yes, I'm going to have a two-person hyperbaric chamber in the office— People with depression, anxiety, dementia, vascular dementia. The paper, Joe Namath had concussions, traumatic brain injuries. And he gives his video testimonial of how he did a SPECT scan. That's spelled S-P-E-C-T. It's a certain kind of CT scan where the left half of his brain, the entire hemisphere, really didn't light up. And so watching one of his teammates just go downhill, one of the linemen, to the point where it killed him, he says, I need to get help. So he talked to the doctors there in Florida where he's living. They did the spec scans, showed that the left side didn't work. He then had 40 – we call them dives in the hyperbaric chamber – and his spec scan started to improve he did another 40 dives and it resolved entirely so a lot of these young kids who are getting head injuries from playing lacrosse playing football young girls playing soccer taking that ball off the top of their head like my daughter she fell off her horse twice because he spun around on her launched her she hit her head even though she had a helmet on had multiple concussions this is going to be a game changer for a lot of folks Now, sometimes people are like, well, I don't want to do a spec scan. My insurance won't pay for that. What they've learned that if you do one treatment and you see results, we know for a fact it's going to work for you. So that is coming in about 45 days. In fact, I just placed the order yesterday. People with refractory depression, anxiety, it's without pills, without throwing Prozac and Zoloft at folks. So these are the sorts of things that I like bringing in. Jack, do you know much about red light and mitochondria? Yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
I mean, I have sat in numerous red light saunas, and after I get out, I feel so rejuvenated. I'm not really sure on the specifics of it, but I know it's great for your cell health.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, that's exactly right. So it recharges. And for those who don't know what the mitochondria is, every cell has mitochondria. Mitochondria are your powerhouses, right? So they take ATP and burn it for energy. So if your mitochondria are dysfunctional, you're going to be listless. You're not going to have that power. So some of the things that we've done in the past is give somebody NAD, which is a coenzyme to make your mitochondria function better. We'll give you stem cells. And by the way, hyperbaric oxygen has been proven to increase your stem cells, something near and dear to my heart. But by giving somebody red light, we can revive your mitochondria as well. We also have pulsed electromagnetic fields, PEMF. So they've shown in research, if they use PEMF for spine surgery, your recovery is better. faster and you have a better outcome uh knee injuries shoulder injuries we can do a total body pmf we have two mats a bottom blanket and a top one and we can reset the voltage because with injuries a normal healthy cell has a voltage of 70 millivolts when tissue gets injured It's like a car battery in the winter that starts to drain and it becomes and won't start your car. So by doing PEMF, we actually put the charge back in. We hit you with red light, recharge your mitochondria. We make you a new person, all without pills. So it's really exciting stuff. And then one of the other things that we do, and Jack, you are my resident expert on peptides. So a lot of people hear this word peptides. What is this peptides that I hear Dr. Faulkner or other clinicians talking about? Explain to folks what are peptides?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, for sure. So peptides are a chain of short amino acids. And so they act as signaling molecules. So what that means is that you already have your baseline hormones and peptides. regulation, if that makes sense. And once you take these peptides, it upregulates it. So you have your baseline and then it's adding a, probably a 30% increase on top of that. So it's a noticeable difference. And a lot of people take these to stimulate tissue repair, um, hormone regulation, have it go into a homeostasis, um, metabolic functions also in, um, enhancing anti-aging because collagen production is increasing, weight loss, cognitive function, immune support, all that sort of stuff. Common peptides that are known and like what I would say are my top five are BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, and ipamirelin. So I'll go over BPC-157 and TB-500 first.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 11 :
They are known for their tendon and ligament healing. So in research, they did a study on rats where they severed their Achilles tendon, and they gave one set of rats, BPC and TB-500, and the other set, none. And they waited, I believe it was 12 weeks, and none. the tissue repair was significantly more and faster and more elasticity than the non-peptide using rats. And so when we see these... athletes use them. The athletes will go out with an Achilles injury. They'll go out with a torn pec. They'll go out with a hamstring injury. They'll come back within three to six weeks and they'll be just back to normal. There was a, um, recent Olympian that, uh, I believe he tore his ACL and within eight weeks he was back and he was competing and he won gold. Um, Then CJC and ipamorelin. CJC and ipamorelin boost growth hormone levels in your body. So this increases collagen production, overall recovery, IGF-1, which is very crucial for your muscle protein synthesis. And then another one that is very common within the fitness community is MK-677. So this is a growth hormone secretagogue. And how this works is your stomach has two types of receptors. It has the hunger hormone, which is ghrelin, which is what MK-677 secretes. And so when it secretes ghrelin, it makes you more hungry. Therefore, increasing your metabolic activity and increasing your caloric intake and also increasing all the growth hormone and IGF-1 like CJC and Ipamorelin. But people use this in the fitness industry to quote unquote bulk up and to put on more weight because relatively once you get to a certain point, it's kind of hard to eat past 5,000 calories worth of whole foods. So people take this to increase all that sort of stuff and to increase their appetite.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, we're not talking most of my listeners because they want to lose the weight. But this is for that athlete who's trying to bulk up. Would this be good for, say, a little old lady who's in the nursing home who doesn't have an appetite? or broke her hip and she's 90 pounds soaking wet.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, sir. So we have seen that osteoporosis is linked to growth hormone secretion. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts are what build and deconstruct bone. And so when growth hormone isn't present in the body, it it has more, uh, bone degeneration than regeneration. So when we give someone growth hormone that is not synthetic and is already produced in their body, but just an upregulation, we have seen that osteoporosis tends to go way more, uh, their appetite, appetite increases their muscle, uh, muscle maturity increases their muscle overall increases and it's just i mean women women can take this men can take this generally anybody can take this the only thing that i would recommend to look out for is your blood sugar levels because it does affect that yeah you're exactly right so osteoblast build the bone osteoclast tear down the bone and you have an imbalance of osteoclast versus the osteoblast so you're exactly right so this will help that elderly person who's
SPEAKER 03 :
in a nursing home or heading in that direction needs to bulk up because in our world, we call growth hormone the fountain of youth. Yes, sir. What it does for muscle mass, for your skin, for tendons, for just about everything. But if I write for growth hormone, I will have the FDA on my doorstep tomorrow. It is more regulated than testosterone or any of the schedule twos. So we found ways around this using these secretagogues to help our patients get their own natural growth hormone. It's like putting a turbocharger on your engine.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah. I mean, people also. Think of when they think of peptides, they think of injectables, sprays, creams, oral medication, that sort of stuff. And people relate it to steroids. But the thing with steroids is that it's like taking your gas pedal and stomping it on the ground and just letting your engine burn out completely. Instead of peptides, it's properly tuning your engine and allowing it to perform at a higher level with better gasoline. So steroids will burn out your body very quickly. It's a short fuse, but peptides will elongate your overall health. and betterment of just everyday health. You see more energy, you see higher muscle protein synthesis, you see better bone density, you see higher cognitive function, no brain fog. So peptides are relatively completely safe. I would say, talk to Dr. Faulkner and schedule a consultation with us, um, to go over the specifics. But I think that everybody and their mother should be taking this stuff. And if you're not, it's it you're lacking.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. And when you say stomp on the gas pedal with the testosterone, it's an excess, right? There's a normal value and then there's excess. You're talking excess.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, sir. So I'm talking about synthetic testosterone. That is not what your body needs at that moment. So a lot of people, when they think of steroids, they think of Mr. Olympia or these huge guys that are 400 plus pounds. Well, the reality is they're injecting grams of steroids into their body when you only really need probably 0.8 milligrams of testosterone to reach your body. desired effect in your regulation hormone balance.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. So if some guy's out there thinking, oh man, you just told me I need testosterone, but now I'm afraid of it. No, you're going to be fine. We do this safely. So we're going to take our last break before wrapping up. We'll get some last thoughts. You're listening to Dr. Scott Faulkner, 560 KLZ.
SPEAKER 14 :
Here's why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you've been hurt by someone else's negligence. The idea is that you're going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist's perspective is that you're going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we're talking about six people that you don't know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you're the one who's hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it's worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don't know and were witnesses to believe that's what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks.

It's time to leave your safe space. This is Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. Welcome back, listeners.
SPEAKER 03 :
You're listening to Dr. Scott filling in for John Rush on this hybrid Thursday, as I like to call it, because we're talking both politics and medicine. So we had some people saying, well, one, give me your phone number again. That's 303-663-6990. If you want any of these services, you want a consultation, contact Again, I don't charge for that. If you want to talk to Jack about peptides, you can talk to me. If you want to talk weight loss, semaglutide and terazeptide, is it right for you, then just give us a call, 303-663-6990, or our number is on Rush to Reason. You can find us there as well. So to recap, we are bringing in hyperbaric oxygen chamber into the office in about 45 days. We also have the PEMF. Because stem cells are near and dear to my heart. Everybody who listens to Rush to Reason knows that. So I'm offering a special come November 25th, 26th, and 27th. If you've ever thought about stem cells, is it right for me? It's the only thing that's going to truly regenerate the cartilage in your knees or your shoulder. We've got ski season coming up. If you're that guy who's like, man, I used to ski all the time or I used to mountain bike all the time, but now my knees hurt me. or my shoulder hurts, I can't throw the ball around in the yard with the kids, come and talk to me. And now's a perfect time because you can use your HSA and FSA cards towards the end of the year instead of buying Band-Aids and Neosporin like we used to do. You can actually apply that money towards the stem cells and there's nothing better. But those are the only days that I'm offering the 25% off. So November 25th, 26th, 27th, and December 13th and 14th. Otherwise, it's regular price. We're also bringing in the red light therapy. A lot of athletes, LeBron James, a lot of these guys are actually putting red light saunas in their basement. because it helps their recovery much faster. There's so much literature out there now that's peer-reviewed on the benefits of red light, and it's not going to hurt you. There's nothing bad about red light, and we are going to be the only ones in the Castle Rock area that have a full 10-spectrum red light, near-infrared. So we've got it all. Only the best will do for us. We are also now doing ozone therapy. You can do ozone for people who have chronic sinus conditions. Instead of throwing an antibiotic at somebody, we can do nasal insufflation. We can do the MAH, which is the major auto-hemotherapy, where we take blood out of you, we ozonate it, put it back in your body. By the time Katie is done doing that, you will be bouncing off the walls. So she's done it to me twice now. I talked to Judy. She was in Massachusetts and Katie had done it earlier in the day on me because I like to be the guinea pig. And Judy's like, dude, what have you done? You're bouncing off the walls. I'm like, Katie gave me ozone. She's like, well, that's some serious stuff. Well, about four days ago, Judy finally had hers. And before her treatment was done, she's like, oh my gosh, I'm bouncing off the walls. It's not caffeine. It's not a, uh, jittery thing. It's just you feel so good. It's incredible. So before we wrap up, Tam, I wanted to give you a minute to say any last thoughts.
SPEAKER 05 :
My last thought is have faith because the food system is broken. Your personal nutrition plan, you might just know that it's just a mess and not where it should be to get you where you want to be. But one little change in the right direction, well-practiced, and then keep adding on can make so much difference. And it's also a vote for what shows up on our shelves. So keep the faith and keep moving forward.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and if all this seems overwhelming, you're listening, you're driving, you're like, I can't keep all this stuff straight, these microplastics and estrogen and all this stuff, just call the office because Tam will now be able to do consultations in my office Wednesday afternoons. So give us a call, 303-663-6990, and Tam will sit there and hold your hand, and before long you'll be an expert in nutrition.
SPEAKER 13 :
Looking forward to it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you. Brian, any last words?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, we spoke a little bit about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier. We stand at a real crossroads here to change things for the positive, for the better. The future is very bright, and I think we're going to see some significant changes in the way things are done, some alternative treatments that will come to light that we've kind of hidden or hidden around the corner on will be available to everyone in the, particularly the stem cells, the umbilical cord stem cells and the promise that they bring.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I agree. And for everybody listening, we have two senators, right, Bennett and Hickenlooper, even though they're Democrats, light their phones up. Because if they stand against this man and what he wants to do, then they're part of the problem. So we'll have to make them pay at the ballot box. But light their phones up and say, no, you will confirm this man. Jack, any last thoughts?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I mean, just make sure that you are honing in your diet before anything and honing in your everyday walk of life. If you don't have a routine, then it can get pretty hectic. So I would definitely recommend you to get a diet in place and you can go to Tam for that and she will help you with that 100%. And then you can add on these things that will definitely help you like peptides, semaglutides, All these sort of things, all these therapies that we offer, and we can really help you change your life for the better. And we can make you feel like a million dollars.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and I love the fact that you're saying we. So if a parent out there has a teenager, high school, and they feel more comfortable talking to Jack, Jack, would you mind talking to somebody, one of your peers, a Gen Z-er?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I mean, if there is anybody or any parent or anybody listening right now or in the future that wants to hear what I have to say about it, just reach out and I'll be willing to talk.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. And you can reach Jack at our office. I'm not going to give out his personal cell here over the air, but call us at the office, 303-663-6990. And you can talk to me, you can talk to Tam, or you can talk to Jack, our new endocrinologist, soon. Yes. Someday. Soon. You got medical school and college and residency. That's right. But at 17-year-old, he's a smart young man. So we're proud to have him on board as part of our team. So Thank you for listening. It's been a great time. Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John Rush on this Hybrid Thursday.
