Join us in an enlightening episode where host John Rush takes you on a journey through the nuances of modern medical care. Understanding your health is more than just routine check-ups; it’s about acknowledging the signals your body sends. Dr. Scott Faulkner and his team engage with listeners, offering insights on managing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and exploring alternatives to traditional medical treatments.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 04 :
You are gonna 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. With your host, John Rush. My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 02 :
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 10 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 10 :
Welcome back, listeners, to Hour 2, Health and Wellness Wednesday, with your host, Dr. Scott Faulkner, with Jeremy Sova to my right, with Regina Nate Britt, and Nathan Lehman to my left, for those of you who want a visual. You’re listening, driving home. We appreciate you being here. Before we took the break, James from Denver, you had a question. I don’t know if it was for myself or for Nathan or the whole panel. So what is your question, James?
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, and so first and foremost, I wanted to start with a question for Regina Nabrit. Okay. I just love some of the commentary that she had concerning the medical and then came to find out that she is a therapist. And my wife and I are wondering if she does marriage counseling or is it just an individual counseling or?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes, I do marriage counseling. Okay. And thank you for listening.
SPEAKER 06 :
Thank you for listening. Yeah, absolutely. Is it Christian-based or based on the Bible?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, I tailor my therapy based on what people feel is comfortable. But I’m a spiritual person, raised Catholic. I believe in God. But to me, as far as Christian-based, I would definitely help you along the lines if that’s what your faith is, and I would tailor therapy towards that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, and I’ve got my wife sitting right next to me, but the last question I have for you, Regina, is contact information. So how can we get in contact with you to see if we would be a good match for you?
SPEAKER 08 :
You have a pen and paper?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes, I do.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, the number is 305-431-4242.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, thank you very much. And then the other thing I wanted to share or ask just briefly, I am in the web of trying to find a good primary care doctor, and I have recently come to the place battling type 2 diabetes since 2014, where I totally understand that there is no such thing as a good primary care doctor. I’ve got more to that, but I just wanted to know as far as I know what the marker test is. It’s $710. Yes, sir. Is there any other way that my wife and I could start before we were able to save enough money to get those markers done?
SPEAKER 10 :
Wow, that’s a good question. Because there’s so much, like you heard me talk about that 17-year-old, how oftentimes with those biomarkers we uncover so many other things. If you just want to sit down for the free consult, Nathan or myself can help steer you. Maybe you’re on the wrong medication. Maybe you’re doing something wrong. that’s not good for you that may be sabotaging your, your health journey. We can get you onto the path, but really you need that biomarkers.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, yeah, I mean, it sounds like you’ve got metabolic dysfunction if you’re definitely into type 2 already. You need to unpack exactly why, how you got there, how bad is it, and then how do we fix it. But without the biomarkers, it’s like flying a plane with a blindfold on.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right. Because let’s face it, this is what got you into this mess in the first place, is you go to the doctor, the insurance will pay for a CBC, a CMP, maybe your A1C. I don’t know what your A1C is, that three-month blood sugar average. And then they’ll throw like a metformin at you and say, okay, well, we’ll see you in six months. And you’re like, all right, well, my sugars are running 120, 130, something like that. Oh, in six months.
SPEAKER 06 :
Mine is 382 the last time, and my A1C is 13.8. Okay, you’re a ticking time bomb.
SPEAKER 10 :
You are so out of control, you need serious help. Yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
And then the other thing is my wife has been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, and she’d probably be able to tell you guys more about that. Thank you for taking my call. And I do have your office contact information. I just want to confirm before I get off of here because there are more people that need help than just me. But I got 303-663-6990. Is that correct? That’s it, James. Exactly.
SPEAKER 11 :
James, I would encourage you, you know, if you’re not ready to put the money into the Ultra Panel, just come in for a free consult. Bring any lab work that you have. We’ll go through it. I’ll talk about your symptoms. Anything that we have to work with, we can at least get started. But I can essentially guarantee you it will lead to a discussion about how important the Ultra Panel is.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, yeah, my wife told me to break myself, so it looks like I’m getting clearance to have that 710 so that I can get mine done, and she’s willing to wait. So thank you guys so much for what you do, and it’s like almost an emotional experience that I’m getting right now. I kind of feel like I don’t even know you guys, but I feel like I’m going to get some help.
SPEAKER 11 :
Come in, James. I want to meet you.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. God bless you, brother. God bless you, James. Absolutely. Thank you for the call. We look forward to seeing you in the clinic.
SPEAKER 08 :
Thank you, James.
SPEAKER 10 :
So along that line, first off, let me back up. You wanted to talk about first what is PRP because we kind of glossed over that. So I’m going to give you the opportunity, Nathan, to go back and tell people what is PRP.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, so just some real basics. I recognize when we’re throwing around abbreviations like PRP, not all people may know what that is.
SPEAKER 10 :
And leukocyte-rich and leukocyte-poor.
SPEAKER 11 :
So PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It’s the platelet-rich portion of the plasma portion of your blood. So it’s rich in cytokines, growth factors. It helps with collagen production, diabetes. Anti-inflammatory tissue regeneration. It’s one of those we can sort of biohack your body by taking your body’s own blood and getting the important part to put back into like a joint or a tendon. And in a way, it’s sort of like mimicking an injury and telling the body, hey, target this area. So it turns on these cellular pathways to start attacking that area in a good way, decreasing inflammation, promoting tissue healing. And so that’s what platelet-rich plasma is. And then there’s leukocyte-rich and leukocyte-poor. Leukocyte-rich, generally better for tendon repair. Leukocyte-poor, typically better for inside the joint. But that does vary a little bit based on what I see on your MRI.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, so what’s a leukocyte?
SPEAKER 11 :
Leukocyte is a white blood cell, and so it helps trigger that cytokine pathway depending on how you’re trying to use it. So I would just say if we keep it simple and talk about leukocyte-rich and leukocyte-poor, they have certain indications depending on what type of tissue you’re trying to repair.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yep. Well done. So back to our examples. I didn’t get the chance before we hit the top of the hour break, but we had a 46-year-old lady who came to us a couple of days ago that caught off a zero, and she did her biomarkers, all 110, and her biggest complaint was fatigue. Okay, well, how many people that come to us with fatigue? How many of you out there in radio land driving now complain of fatigue, right? It could be a B12 issue. It could be an anemia issue. It could be an autoimmune disorder. It could be your thyroid. Everything in medicine, when you look up fatigue, everything’s on the list. And so that’s where having that 110 biomarkers helped us as we started going through it. And she stopped us probably five minutes into the session, and she’s like, I thought you guys were just going to prescribe Zoloft and SSRI for me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, my gosh.
SPEAKER 10 :
And we looked at her and we’re like, no, no, seriously, that came out of her mouth. I thought you were just going to give me Zoloft.
SPEAKER 08 :
This is traditional medicine.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, it’s like the 17-year-old, right? Anybody else would have said you’re depressed.
SPEAKER 08 :
Here’s a pill. I’ve had several of those with TBIs getting on Zoloft. Right.
SPEAKER 10 :
So in this lady’s case, we said, well, no, that’s not how we practice. We actually dig down to find the root cause. So let us continue as we’re going through. So lo and behold, the first thing that we saw in her hormone panel was incomplete. So a lot of doctors don’t know what they’re doing when they’re ordering it. So they gave us her estrogen. She had her FSH, which is follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, to make sure she wasn’t perimenopausal or postmenopausal, and she was not. Her estrogen level was decent. It depends on where in the cycle you’re at. But she is making estrogen or estradiol. But there was no progesterone. And I’m like, I don’t know if you’re in an estrogen-dominant position, right? Because if you have no progesterone but we give you estrogen or you have it intrinsically, then you’re in big trouble. Increased breast cancer, heart attacks, and strokes. So I said, you’ve got to go and get your progesterone checked so that way we can complete that piece of the puzzle. But look over here. Your C-reactive protein, that’s that marker of inflammation, was 3.9. And what do we say to start the show? We want less than one. So already I know her body’s inflamed. Yeah, she’s got inflammation. Now you’ve got to dig down and find it. Correct. So we start digging further. Iron panel was okay. There was no heavy metals. Her insulin was okay. Her cortisol was fine. Her methylmalonic acid was okay. Her homocysteine was okay. But her rheumatoid factor was 60%. And Jeremy, I know this hits home for you.
SPEAKER 13 :
It sure does because mine, in my family, it goes down three generations of rheumatoid arthritis. I was told, you know, by age 40 that I would have the symptoms of it. And my rheumatoid factor when I had symptoms was, I think, 44, 45. So this is 20 points higher than that. So boom, you found basically the early signs of autoimmune disease and rheumatoid arthritis probably before she had massive symptoms because she wasn’t coming in saying, hey, doc, my wrists and all my joints hurt. But there’s where the inflammation most likely lies.
SPEAKER 10 :
And I said, look it up. The first symptom that you get with most of these autoimmune disorders, especially rheumatoid, is fatigue. Exactly. Exactly. And so she’s like, I had no idea. My wrist, my knuckles don’t hurt. My fingers aren’t getting fat. I don’t have ulnar deviation and all that stuff.
SPEAKER 08 :
See, if she would have went to a normal doctor, they would have asked her all those things and never run an ANA or a rheumatoid. Correct. Like they would have never run it. Correct. Because they’re going by symptomology. And like, oh, well, you’re feeling fine. We’ll just rule that out.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right, and they would have thrown an SSRI at her, and when it didn’t work, they would have just started shopping around, and she would have carried that diagnosis of you’re just depressed. Okay, congratulations, and here’s more pills for you.
SPEAKER 13 :
I mean, since you rolled out the ultra panel, think about all the different situations of autoimmune dysfunction that you’ve picked up. And we talk about the immune system as the most important thing in the body to stave off all the rest of the diseases, and it’s the easiest one to compromise and the biggest one everyone’s missing.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s exactly right. So I wanted to give you guys that example of how you have to stop, listen to your patient, and we need this information. So James, I know to some folks it’s a lot of money, but you really need to do that. And that A1C of yours is so out of control. The doctor who’s controlling you right now, you should run away from that person. Because if they’re happy letting you run around with an A1C of 13… Folks, for those of you who don’t know what an A1C is, hemoglobin A1C is a three-month blood sugar average. And I’m going to explain that. We’re going to take a break. When we come back, I’m going to explain that a little bit more, and then we’re going to move on, start talking about Clotho and other things. So you’re listening to Dr. Scott Faulkner. We’ll be right back after this quick break.
SPEAKER 15 :
TJ again here with Al Smith at KLZ Radio. Al, how are you, sir? I’m great. How are you, TJ? I’m doing good. I have another question for you. Well, sure. I’m in my early 50s, and should I just max out my 401k? Is that a good plan?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, I would say it’s a good plan, but whether that is going to be adequate for you in retirement or not depends on a lot of other factors, like when do you plan to retire by maxing your 401k? What does that look like in terms of dollar amounts? What kinds of allocations are you selecting? So there’s a lot of other variables there. But if you don’t believe you’ve saved enough up until now and you’re 50, I would say it’s a good start.
SPEAKER 15 :
I thought it was going to be more simple than that.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, if it were extremely simple, people wouldn’t need the assistance of a financial advisor, just like a lot of people go to a tax preparer, although some would say our income tax rules for folks are simple. But if that were the case, people wouldn’t be going to tax preparers and CPAs and things of that nature.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s true. So how would folks get started with you if they want to get that wise advice?
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, you can reach me at 303-744-1128. If you’re driving, you can reach me by reaching out to KLZ, going into their website or calling KLZ. Once you’re no longer driving, they’ll put you in touch with me. And periodically, I have meetings sometimes in educational institutions, sometimes at libraries. where we talk about taxation and retirement and some other things that I believe you’ll find important.
SPEAKER 15 :
Excellent. We always have those posted when he does those on klzradio.com slash money. Al, thanks again.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, you’re welcome. Thank you, TJ.
SPEAKER 10 :
Putting reason into your afternoon drive, this is John Rush. Welcome back, listeners. It’s Dr. Scott Faulkner and friends here at Health and Wellness Wednesday. We’re just having a great time moving along. The clock is just burning. Same as it ever was. Yes, sir. But back to James, and I wanted for the listeners to explain what is the hemoglobin A1C because we want to educate you guys. We try to talk as much as we can in layman’s terms so that you can grasp this because this is so important. This is your life. Right. You can have money, but if you don’t have health, you’re in big trouble. Health’s always number one. That’s exactly right. So the hemoglobin A1C, the best analogy I’ve come up with, and Nathan, you’ve heard me tell patients this, is imagine your car in this time of year. How many bugs are on the front? a few right okay let’s fast forward to june you’re driving around how many bugs stick to the front of your car quite a few a lot more now what about august it’s just disgusting right okay so your red blood cells are just like your car running around in the circulatory system in your body you’re they’re driving around and the bugs are the glucose or your sugar So the average lifespan of a red blood cell is three months. So as that little red blood cell is cruising around your body, if your sugar is under control, so really the ideal A1C, James, is an A1C of about 5.0 or less.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, under 5 is the goal in preventative degenerative medicine.
SPEAKER 10 :
Correct. So your little red blood cells are your car cruising around, and if you’re like Jeremy or myself, hardly any bugs or glucose sticks to the red blood cells.
SPEAKER 13 :
Because we go through the Moto Spa car wash every day with the right modalities.
SPEAKER 10 :
Thank you for that analogy. I like that analogy. So if you’re sort of under control, but your sugar is a little high, then more glucose will stick to the red blood cells. So that’s like your car in June. And we can measure that. My friend, you’re a car in August driving from here to Kansas.
SPEAKER 13 :
Like biblical locust forest.
SPEAKER 10 :
Exactly. With the moth. There was a few years ago when we had that moth infestation. And those Miller moths, it’s disgusting. And your car is just… coated you can’t turn on your windshield wipers because it smears everywhere that’s your body so that glucose is doing damage as it coats not just your red blood cells but everything else your neurons your kidneys your heart your vessels so that’s why it’s so important james for us to really reach out and help you out the best that we can and anybody else who’s listening if you’re like oh i’m just like him You need somebody who’s going to take the time to help you, and that’s the why.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I mean, I’m the biohacker in the room. I’m not a doctor, but I’ve done enough of this for myself and for others and under your guidance, Dr. Faulkner, that even without seeing or meeting James, I would say that his primary care physician is crazy if he does not have him on a GLP-1. and a fairly high dose of it because that’s the first thing that I would throw at myself if my A1C was that high. Then you start to talk about getting a CGM monitor on, monitoring the blood sugar spikes.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, time out. What’s a CGM?
SPEAKER 13 :
A continuous glucose monitor. So you see those people in the gym with that thing on the back of their arm. You assume they’re a diabetic. Nowadays, biohackers are wearing them to track diabetes. their A1C, which was just described, I would definitely figure out exactly where are the spikes, why are they hitting, when are they hitting, how high are they hitting, how long are they lasting. And it’s fairly, I would say you could probably get that covered by insurance. It gets you like a freestyle Libre and figure out exactly what’s going on there while throwing a GLP-1 at a minimum and then really deep dive, deep pop the hood, find out why the metabolic dysfunction is there and how it crosses over into some other issues. but to me, I would take that swing blindly with a number like that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, and you’re not a doctor. I’m not a doctor. And you could help get James better than where he’s at.
SPEAKER 13 :
And I’ve taken my A1C down from 6.1 to 5.2 in the last couple of years, so I was pre-diabetic and then hung out right at that 5.6, 5.7 line, and then with your help, Dr. Faulkner, I’ve been able to get it down to 5.2, and my goal is 4.9.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. And James, the reason why this is so important is the data is absolutely crystal clear. We’re calling Alzheimer’s type 3 diabetes now because it has everything to do with your sugars that are out of control. And by the way, just you having diabetes, your risk of a heart attack is equal to somebody who’s already had one. So that’s why it’s so important. That’s why we harp on this stuff. Nathan, myself, practitioners, it’s like you need to put in the work. Right. And I feel badly because it sounds like you’ve been trying to find somebody who will help you along this journey. You’re not a doctor, but you’re. grasping like everybody else out here. It’s appalling to me how my colleagues will treat patients. It’s like, I understand the pressure you’re under to see somebody in five minutes. You can’t do them justice. But do like I did. Quit. Just stop. And do something different.
SPEAKER 13 :
And to get to Regina’s point earlier, congratulations on calling in today because that was moving off of zero. That phone call and taking the number and coming in to have a free consult with Nathan is the first step to you changing your life. So congratulations on taking that first step.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, and then you’re going to call Regina, and I don’t know what’s going on in your marriage. I have no idea, but clearly there’s something going on. And Regina is going to give you insight of maybe some of the things that you’re doing or maybe your wife is doing together to build that relationship back together. And I’m happy to hear your wife saying, we’ll find the money to get you healthy.
SPEAKER 08 :
So that was a good sign. Sounds like they have a great team.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Because guys, you know, when you put on that ring, it’s till death do us part.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes. Teamwork.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. So you’ve got to stick it out. Tough times for richer and poorer, sickness and health. I keep telling Judy that. You promised, right? You made an oath to God. You see that? That’s exactly right. You don’t want to disappoint God, do you?
SPEAKER 08 :
She’s like, oh, you got me on that one. Oh, that’s a guilt trip.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s okay. I’m good with it. Oh, that’s funny. So moving on, I want to talk about the packages that we’re going to be rolling out in the summertime. So Jeremy, this is a lot of your brainchild, the things that you’ve been asking us to do in the clinic. And we’ve listened to you as one of our customers, patients, friends. So what were the things that you wanted to see?
SPEAKER 13 :
Sure. So what stood out to me is, I mean, you’re still on the very forefront of this exciting regenerative medicine space. And you built, you know, a great clinic for people to come in. But it’s kind of a la carte where people will come in and maybe they will lose some weight, make it on GLP or whatever. Maybe they want to get their blood work done and see what’s going on. Or maybe, you know, they want to hop in a red light bed because they have some inflammation. And I was seeing people kind of picking and choosing, you know, different things without kind of understanding the full picture that we talk about here. And so I got to thinking we should really simplify this for the patient population. And put together memberships that have different levels of different needs for different, you know, types of situations and ailments under the concierge umbrella with you. And, you know, give them a list of things that we know that they need based on what we found out in their biomarkers. But bundle it together because like we always say, like there’s no magic bullet here. There’s no panacea. It’s a combination of different things across all the different categories that we talk about and come to that complete solution and give them the opportunity to pay a monthly fee or an annual fee with a discount and really let go of the reins and let that concierge relationship through all the different modalities and meds and life interventions and everything that needs to be done to bring them to optimal or all the way up to superhuman at the top tier. And it just, it clicked that this is really, you know, it’s a system. It’s an anti-aging or what I call intelligent aging, you know, longevity, functional medicine, regenerative health system, you know, because you can fix somebody’s A1C and you plug that hole, but some other ones might be leaking someplace else. So it’s got to be a comprehensive top to bottom inside and out relationship that And the only way to simplify that for the patient is to give them all the stuff that they need for a price instead of having to come back and piecemeal all of it. So I’m excited to hear that you’ve decided, you know, to take that advice. And I think probably looks like maybe June, July-ish, we can roll these out and really take a select group of people. Again, you can’t take everybody, right? You know, there’s millions of people that need help, but we know between the
SPEAKER 10 :
And most don’t live in Castle Rock. Right.
SPEAKER 13 :
And you’ve got a second location opening in May, so there’s increased bandwidth there. But for those that have been following my story, I highly encourage you to get on the list because the last thing that Dr. Faulkner wants to see and that I want to see is when it’s full and we’ve got to get to a point where we can increase capacity elsewhere. because all of the different things in the matrix that it needs to be done is going to be limited. I think it’s probably 100 to 120 membership patients. Now, it’s not to say the a la carte folks still can do that, but if you really want this intelligent aging system where you’re really going to reverse your age, do all the testing, the imaging, the cancer screening, all the different protocols to take your biological age back, I think 10 to 15 years based on my research, if you do all the things that are available at the clinic, um so i want to just throw out that those are coming and i would definitely be interested in getting on the waiting list because i already know several people personally that i’ve put slots aside for and we’re starting to see it snowball to where oh my my wife wants to do it too do you take couples my husband wants to do it too or you know if i do this you know can i get all of the things and We run it through the algorithm, and the machines only have so many hours a day. There’s only so many days of the week. So I highly encourage people, if you’re interested in a monthly package, and they’ll be kind of the low tier, go from unhealthy to healthy, mid-tier from healthy to optimal. And then the top tier, which I’ve been on for the last couple of years, Operation Superhuman. I could talk for days about everything that I’ve been able to accomplish and how I feel, and I got all the results. We’re going to publish those end of May, early June. So you can finally kind of see my story on paper and all the ugly pictures, God forbid. And in the data and the charts and all of it. So I’m walking the walk, and there’s only so many people that we can help. But I encourage you to get in line if you’ve got the means.
SPEAKER 10 :
Absolutely. Well said. Thank you. So we need to take another break. When we come back, we’re going to start to talk about Clotho. What is Clotho? What does it do? Why is it so important? Why is Dr. Faulkner talking about this with Jeremy and Nathan and Regina? So we’ll hit that topic when we come back.
SPEAKER 13 :
Exciting stuff.
SPEAKER 10 :
Love it. 560 KLC.

SPEAKER 10 :
Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. Yes, you’re listening to Dr. Scott, 560 KLZ Health and Wellness Wednesday. So before we went to the break, Nathan, you were excited about the memberships as well.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, so the memberships that Jeremy was just expanding on. What I love about this is if, for instance, you know, I see things through a lens of orthopedic provider right now. And so treating joint disease, for instance, if you come in and get a stem cell or platelet-rich plasma injection or we set up a plan, if you had that membership, we could get you in a regimen of hyperbaric chamber and red light therapy and potentially some other things to really maximize the effect of the stem cells and platelet-rich plasma that we’re putting in you. I don’t know any other clinic that would offer you something like that. This is a really, I mean the best way to optimize regenerative medicine for joint healing.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, definitely. And kind of on my previous discussion about those membership packages, I asked myself if I was a listener, I’d be like, well, what is in the membership? What are the packages? What do they consist of? So we’re talking about individual biomarkers, imaging, cancer screening, biological age testing, custom prescription medications, vitamins, minerals, supplements to improve and lengthen your health span, hormone testing, all the meds, GLP-1s, comprehensive peptide therapy, ozone sauna, cryotherapy, red light therapy, custom IV hydration bags, guided breath work via shift wave for stress relief therapy, stem wave pain reduction therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, umbilical cord stem cells. And then what I’m most excited about personally, and I cannot wait, I think it’s going to be two weeks before I get to do this myself, is the Therapeutic Plasma Exchange. They call it TPE or plasmapheresis. And that’s going to be launching. Your nurses are getting trained up, I think, next week is when it starts.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s correct.
SPEAKER 13 :
So call it full-blown, ready-to-go, trained up in the month of May for all those that are currently on the waiting list and want to join. There is that first 20 get a discounted price before it goes up. So if you’re interested, give the clinic a call. But when I was just on vacation recently… I decided, I know why it’s good, right? You get rid of all the inflammatory cytokines and the microplastics and the forever chemicals, and you knock out the autoimmune disease and reverses your age just by having it done and that study that was done. But I wanted to dive a little bit deeper because I have a history of ApoE4 alleles in my family. Luckily, only one, not two. Okay, what is the ApoE4? So ApoE4 is apolipoprotein E as in Edward. And that is the allele that leads you to a greater risk of brain disease or early onset dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. And when I found out I had one copy, I know where I got it from, et cetera, et cetera, I decided to focus on A lot on the hyperbaric oxygen, you know, for preventative reasons. But when I was on vacation, I read about and looked up the 2020 AMBAR Phase 3 clinical trial for therapeutic plasma exchange in regards to monitoring brain disease and helping with early onset Alzheimer’s. And 347 enrolled patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s showed a 52% less decline in daily functioning, 66% less cognitive decline, and the strongest effects were in the moderate cases, which means if you get ahead of it, the earlier the better. And these findings obviously show that TPE influences disease progression by altering blood-brain dynamics related to the amyloid plaques and inflammation. So that was one thing. In addition to all the other reasons I wanted therapeutic plasma exchange, on top of the other things that I mentioned. So I cannot wait until we roll this out because this is absolutely game changing. There is no pill that you can take to reverse Alzheimer’s disease like that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Not Aricept, not Namenda. None of that stuff does this.
SPEAKER 11 :
And this is built into the membership package.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah. So it depends on which membership package you get, you know, because if you’re in real bad shape, you should have a minimum of six TPE treatments on an annual basis. And someone like me, I need like one every four months or I need three. But if you’re a real bad case, you’ve got to talk about regimens where, you know, maybe you need 10 or 15 or 20 regimens. depending on how bad it is. So again, back to the patient, very patient-specific in what’s necessary there. But it’s so exciting. And I want to tell another quick story because I met a couple on vacation where the father’s daughter is about to get married next year. And they had overheard that I was a biohacker and they were interested and we kind of got into a casual conversation. And I basically, you know, I said, look, I’m going to tell it to you straight. Like, I’m like, you know, dad, I’m sure you’re paying for a daughter’s wedding. And he’s like, oh yeah, you know, of course, traditional style. I’m like, that’s great. i’m like so you can google all this you can ai it whatever you need like don’t take my word for it look it up for yourself but men you know boys of childbearing age have so many microplastics in their semen and their testicles from all the poison that we’ve been getting you know throughout living in this country and the women have so many forever chemicals that are built up in their blood plasma as well and And it’s proven and there’s a study that shows that if the men get the therapeutic plasma exchange and get the microplastics out and the woman get all the forever chemicals out. One or both, both is obviously ideal, one or the other. In both cases, those things cause metabolic dysfunction and disease in their newborn child. So what I told that soon-to-be grandfather, after obviously they get married and they’re going to have kids, I said, instead of dropping $50,000 on the wedding, have a really small ceremony and spend the $50,000 on making sure your grandchildren don’t get metabolic disease. Have your daughter and her soon-to-be husband go and get therapeutic plasma exchange between six and 12 months before conception, not before birth. This has to be done before you actually fertilize the egg and go into the pregnancy. And I hope people hear that loud and clear. You grandparents out there that maybe you have the means and your kids don’t, they’re going to have children. Think about how to adjust your financial situation to avoid the big blowout wedding where everybody gets drunk and eats all your food and brings you some presents. Like think about and look this up. These studies are real. This absolutely happens and works and you can prevent metabolic disease in your grandchild.
SPEAKER 10 :
So it’s not just preventing metabolic disease, and that’s huge. I mean, think about it. You’re changing your family’s trajectory.
SPEAKER 13 :
Absolutely. It’s like epigenetic hacking at a high level.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right, but that’s one modality. So now what if we stack a methylene blue? What if we stack hyperbaric? All these other modalities that we have, a GLP-1, right? What did I tell James? We know for a fact that Alzheimer’s is called type 3 diabetes. So all these things that are bombarding your brain if we start to stack these things, we can prevent all these horrible diseases.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yep. And that’s the beauty of the membership model is it is that holistic where you’re getting all of those things. It’s not just one or the other, but there will be specific cases. I think particularly on both the stem cells and the therapeutic plasma exchange, where a la carte is always going to be an open option there because it’s such a high impact tool. you know thing that they may not want a full-blown membership because someone like me maybe they’re extremely healthy they’ve been biohacking for years yeah and they just want six tpe treatments you know a stem cell cocktail so don’t think that any of that a la carte stuff is disappearing it’s not we’re just going to bundle it and make it easier for the patients that want all the different things that you just described yeah and that patient you just described that a la carte um nathan and i had a young lady yesterday
SPEAKER 10 :
Beautiful young lady. And I say that because sometimes you look at somebody and you can’t tell what’s going on inside. And I saw her a month ago. And she came to me, wanted to lose about eight pounds. But her biggest complaint was fatigue. And so I fixed her mitochondria. and put her on a little GLP. She lost the eight pounds, and yesterday she looked at me and said, I feel amazing just by fixing my mitochondria. So this is that person that looked great on the outside, was kind of starting to fall apart, but just by doing something as simple as fixing her mitochondria and getting her to lose eight pounds was a game changer.
SPEAKER 13 :
Power the mitochondria, eliminate the inflammation. That sounds easy. There’s a lot of ways to get there. But that’s the holy grail of this entire thing. Power the mitochondria, eliminate the inflammation.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, and I know we sound like broken records, and we’re beating them. On purpose.
SPEAKER 08 :
Dr. Parker, can you talk about mitochondria? That’s what that is.
SPEAKER 10 :
Absolutely. Can we go to a break? Because it’s going to be a little bit.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think that’s important.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. So let’s take that break now. So that’ll give me ample time to talk about mitochondria. What is it? How do we repair it? So we’re going to take a break right now. Dr. Scott Faulkner, 560 KLZ. We’ll be right back.

SPEAKER 10 :
Welcome back. Listeners, Dr. Scott Faulkner about to talk to you about mitochondria. Regina, you asked the questions like, okay, we need to explain this to folks. Charlie, I like the music. Sticks takes me back to my high school days.
SPEAKER 13 :
Mother Jacket and Firebird kind of stuff.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I was a motorcycle guy. Nice. I didn’t have enough money for a car, so I rode a motorcycle. Even in the wintertime, but that’s another story. Mitochondria, it is so important. So we’re going to go on a magic journey back to high school biology. So we all remember sitting in class and the teacher drew a big, huge circle on the board and said, that’s a cell. And then over here drew a you know, good size circle inside of that and said, that’s the nucleus of the cell. Came over here to the right, drew an oval with some squigglies and said, that’s the mitochondria. That’s the powerhouse of the cell. We all remember that. So that is correct. That’s where ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is produced. Think of it as the octane in your tank for your car. Your energy. Your energy. But octane didn’t become octane. It first was crude oil coming out of the ground. Had to be refined. And had to be refined. So at the refinery, there are several steps along the way to get that crude oil into octane that you put in your tank that powers your vehicle. Okay. So mitochondria is the same thing. Now, a lot of you, unless you went to medical school or you’re a biochemistry major, don’t know of the Krebs cycle. So the Krebs cycle is where we take a DP, D as in dog, adenosine diphosphate, and turn it into a TP, adenosine triphosphate. And there are certain steps that are absolutely critical that you must have or do, your body has to do this, to make the ATP. So that’s why when somebody comes to me, and I know everybody’s mitochondria is dysfunctional. As we get older, mitochondria come offline. And one of the first things I tell people is, yes, your instructor was correct. That is a mitochondria. However, what they did not tell you is in a basic cell, there’s 1,100 mitochondria in one cell. There’s 2,500 in one neuron. Brain cell. Brain cell. Multiply that by 85 billion. So if your mitochondria are starting to become dysfunctional, you get things like brain fog. You start to get fatigued. You start to get tired. Things don’t work as well. You think you’re just getting older and that’s how it’s supposed to be.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s like walking around with a dim light.
SPEAKER 13 :
Another cup of coffee will help me maybe. They don’t realize how good they can feel if they power the mitochondria up to like a nuclear power plant.
SPEAKER 10 :
And my last example, this young lady who looked great on the outside, but she was already showing signs of mitochondrial dysfunction. And so I explained the Krebs cycle, ADP to ATP, and I told her, why is it so important to have CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, resveratrol, L-carnitine? Now, try having this conversation with your regular doctor, and they’re like, what? I remember Krebs cycle from medical school, but I didn’t. I passed a test and forgot about it. Right.
SPEAKER 13 :
What?
SPEAKER 10 :
What? And then the last cherry on the top is something called NAD with a plus sign. So NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Most people can’t say that, so we just say NAD+. NAD+. And the beautiful thing is a lot of people have heard about NAD Plus and are like, oh, well, isn’t that the stuff that gives you that strange feeling or gives you a flush feeling? It’s like, yes, if you do the IV or we start doing injectables because who wants to sit there for two hours getting an IV? And as you said before, Jeremy, it’s very short-lived.
SPEAKER 13 :
That’s right. You can’t go in an IV clinic every day, even the shots, but I’ll take it a step further. They don’t get in to the red blood cells and power the mitochondria unless you take it correctly. And the best way by far is the oral strips that go up into the venous plexus of the mouth and go right into the blood brain barrier to the To the blood and bypass the blood-brain barrier. And as we know, the NAD levels fall off precipitously in your mid-40s and then even further in your mid-60s. But I was blown away to see that it could help my kid at 15 with more ATP, more energy, more bursts of speed, more clarity in hockey. So it’s very important to take this stuff. And I take 200 milligrams every day now is what I’m up to. Oh, two strips? I take two strips, one in the morning, one in the evening. And I found with me as I continue to take this biohacker journey further and further, I do build tolerances to certain things and do need higher doses of certain things where a basic starter wouldn’t need to. But it’s such a difference maker that I went off of it for a couple of days in vacation just because I ran out because I budgeted for 100 milligrams a day and ended up ramping it up to two. And the few days that I didn’t have it, it was a noticeable difference. Oh, yeah. I couldn’t wait to get home, open it up and start again. So those levels do fall off and you need to maintain them, especially if you’re older in age.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. And even this young girl or your son at 15. So we know that every 20 years we age, we lose 50 percent of the NAD plus in our bodies. That’s right. So this girl yesterday at the front counter, she looked at me and said, I’m feeling amazing. How long do I need to do this for? I said, how long do you want to feel well? And she’s like, well, forever. I’m like, well, there’s your answer.
SPEAKER 13 :
That’s like bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. It’s a life decision. And once you make it, you never want to feel bad again.
SPEAKER 10 :
Correct.
SPEAKER 13 :
So budget it in your mind and your schedule and whether you’re using different ways to get it into your body and, of course, financially. But you’re not going to want to feel like crap again. So just budget for feeling amazing and knowing what it takes.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, that’s what it boils down to is – We’re keeping you young and healthy. So, yes, you’re aging. We’re pushing you past the 90 mark or the 100-year mark. But you’re doing it healthy with a healthy brain and a healthy body. Remember, the plan is for you to get run over by a bus when you’re 112.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s that quality of life, and they call it health span. It’s so important because people can spend 30 years getting worse and worse and worse, whether it’s brain disease or cancer, or they have to be in a home, or they’re using a wheelchair, and there’s no muscle, there’s atrophy. There’s so many different ways to skin this cat, but it’s so important to do the easy stuff. The daily NAD+, that’s a no-brainer.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes. And this is where it starts, the building blocks, right? So that’s why Nathan and I harp on mitochondria, mitochondria, mitochondria. Because if you miss this, you’re missing feeling 90% better. So that’s how come I can make people feel so good and they come back, you know, in a month and they’re like, oh my gosh, I didn’t realize I could feel this good. It’s like, I know why.
SPEAKER 13 :
I’ve seen healthy athletes that are tip top on their game and in their shape and they add this and they’re like, whoa, another level on the video game. They’re like, oh, we hope the anti-doping agency doesn’t get involved. We’re like, well, no, it’s naturally occurring in your body. You’re just basically waking it up and it’s making a big difference even in the healthy people. So there’s… To me, this stuff is for everybody.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. And Nathan, you wanted to chime in on NAD?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, so the NAD+. So earlier, Jeremy was talking about the benefits of therapeutic plasma exchange for a parent to get all the toxins out in order to have a very healthy baby. uh as dr faulkner said you lose 50 of your nad plus every 20 years naturally and when you’re an older parent looking to conceive if you supplement with nad plus prior to conception you increase your chances of a healthy baby you you minimize complications theoretically you can look this up the benefits of nad plus and how as you lose nad plus as you age you become less fertile both man and woman And so if you’re, you know, 40, 45, which when you talk about the generations coming up right now, everybody’s having babies later than they used to. NAD+, when you’re working in this wellness space, could be a supplement that you give patients prior to conceiving to give them a healthier pregnancy and a healthier baby.
SPEAKER 13 :
It makes perfect sense. If the powerhouse, the cell is the mitochondria and that’s dysfunctional, of course that’s going to carry over, you know, so power it up. I love it. And add plus and TPE for all you soon to be parents out there. Like, um, and I would say grandparents too, cause you know, some of the younger really can’t necessarily afford it, but you know, instead of putting away, you know, money for whatever in the future, you know, get healthy grandchildren and children.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, and teach your kids and grandkids good habits, right? This is your health. It’s worth the investment as opposed to DoorDash. I see people spending money on DoorDash all the time and these frivolous things. It’s like put that money to good use so that you – are well.
SPEAKER 13 :
We should almost do an hour on budgeting in the future. Dave Ramsey. I’m actually serious because personal finance is something that most people don’t fully grasp as much as they should. And if you can figure out budgeting for your health, I think that’s a huge step from where you’re at now. Just willy nilly, you know, living paycheck to paycheck and spending on whatever, like budgeting for your health, man. It’s $710 that after your rent, your mortgage, your food, your cell phone, and your laptop, those biomarkers should be next on your list for everybody as a basic need because you don’t measure it. You can’t manage it.
SPEAKER 10 :
You sure as hell can’t optimize it. Regina, you got 30 seconds. Give us words of wisdom. Help people move off of zero.
SPEAKER 08 :
So I think that it’s really important that people realize health is so important. It’s important for mental health. It’s important for your relationship. If you don’t have your health, you’re not going to show up as a husband or wife. If you don’t have your health, you’re not going to show up as a father or a mother the way you can. Your children won’t show up the way they can optimally be. And that’s what it’s about. It’s giving the best that we have our life. Give it all.
SPEAKER 10 :
Perfect.
