Health & Wellness Wednesday Dr. Scott Faulkner, guest-hosting for John Rush with biohacker Jeremy Sova, leads Health & Wellness Wednesday into a deeper exploration: What happens when a traditionally trained physician and a former skeptic agree the “pill for every ill” model is broken? This hour explores nervous system health, longevity, and real-world alternatives for PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress. The conversation spotlights John Arlotti, who explored frequency-based solutions after a stroke and invented the Restore Patch (https://restorepatch.com/) to calm the nervous system without drugs. Psychologist Dr. Darby Godwin (850-291-5262) explains vagus-nerve regulation, parasympathetic balance, and neurological “pauses” as
SPEAKER 05 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 10 :
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 05 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 10 :
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 12 :
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 16 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush, presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 16 :
Welcome back, listeners, to Hour 3, 560 KLZ, Health and Wellness Wednesday. Your hosts, Dr. Scott Faulkner and Jeremy Sova, expert biohacker, friend, everything cool. Because you even drive a really cool BMW, by the way.
SPEAKER 09 :
Thank you. It’s great to be back. Happy New Year, everybody.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes. Happy New Year. So the song that you might be hearing in the background is Megan Wood’s The Truth. And in the last hour, we were talking with a guest, John, and I was explaining that the two songs that I listen to over and over again. Oh, sorry. Getting choked up. When I work out, the first one is by Francesca Battistelli. And it really touches your heart because it says that you don’t have to have your name in lights. He knows my name. And so this one is by Megan Wood. And it reminds you of who you are in Christ. It’s called The Truth. So Charlie was kind enough to tee up 45 seconds. And I want you to listen to the words right now if you can. Thank you.
SPEAKER 03 :
Heaven finds me in a still small voice and it sounds like grace instead I look in the mirror and I’m not so sure Lord I don’t want to listen to the lies anymore
SPEAKER 16 :
So I just wanted to give you a little taste of that, of reminding you who you are in Christ. And so that’s what helps me stay grounded, remind me who I am, that I don’t have to be a Dr. Oz on TV with my name in lights. I don’t have to be a Peter Attia in a famous podcast or anything like that. In my little corner of the world, I’m a dad. I’m a husband. physician to some people friend to others and so I just wanted to give you guys a little encouragement at this point in time because the world is moving fast we are definitely in the fourth turning and sometimes you can just get overwhelmed with everything coming at you and it takes little things like that just to stop and get grounded take a deep breath and go yes thank you Lord
SPEAKER 09 :
Give Christ the reins is what I like to do, too. If things get tough, just know that he’s got your back. He’s going to help guide you. And the new year, there’s a lot of new stuff going on, but it’s a really good time to reconvene, reconnect, and raise a glass to the architect. because he is everything, and we wouldn’t be able to do what we’re doing without that guidance. I wouldn’t be able to have become a biohacker if he didn’t lead me down that path accidentally. This was not in my plan whatsoever. I wanted to lose a little bit of weight, get a little bit healthier. But now to be able to help other people, and you do it for a living, so you’re used to this feeling. But for me, it’s indescribable. Just some of the stories that I’m getting back from friends and family and some of the changes that I’m seeing. I’m so grateful that you guys let me share my story here and be a little bit of a part of this thing. And I’m going to keep pushing because it’s worth it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, and those of you who are listening, if you’ve got a story too, just reach out to me. And if you want to be on the air and tell your story, that’s what it’s all about. We’re trying to help each other here. We’re not going to beat each other up because online you read all this stuff and you come out and say – You have an opinion. And first thing you know, you just get beat down by a lot of folks, the naysayers. And they just have evil in their hearts and they don’t have any joy. So if you have that story. Reach out to the office, 303-663-6990. Talk to me, and I’ll try and find a way if we can get you on the air or just tell me your story. I’d love to hear it.
SPEAKER 09 :
It seems more and more that people aren’t taking a position as much as they just want opposition. It’s like the fight is becoming something that is more important than the truth. And this audience, it doesn’t apply to, but in all of our everyday lives, it does friends, colleagues, and loved ones. So, you know, hopefully, um, you know, the truth will continue to prevail and with Christ’s help, you know, this, this thing will get on the right track for everybody. Yeah. Not just those that are on the right side of history at the moment.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. And for those of you who listen to Metallica when you’re not listening to John’s show, I encourage you, download, go to Spotify or Pandora or whatever. I don’t know if you can actually download a specific song on Pandora, but Spotify you can. Correct. And go to Christian Music, Francesca Battistelli. He knows my name. And we just heard Megan Wood, The Truth. And I think it’ll change your life. So along those veins, we’re talking about the horsemen, and we’re talking about the hidden fifth horseman, which is the immune system. And you see, we as Christians, we understand that we are fearfully, wonderfully made, that these bodies did not happen by accident. So when I was in junior high and taking biology— I knew deep in my heart, I looked at the cell and said, there’s no way in the world that this evolved. And of course, if you’re intellectually honest, you have to admit through the laws of irreducible complexity that there’s physically no way in the world that we evolved.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s funny you mention that, too, because both now the smartest AI computer that’s been created and Elon Musk both in the last two weeks agree that there is a divine creator. Now, they didn’t get religious on it, but the science shows that it didn’t evolve from nothingness, that it was a divine creator. And to hear that, I guess he’s one of the smartest people alive and the AI machine is probably even smarter than him, but they’re in lockstep. Yeah. So for anybody that’s still, you know, like my daughter’s boyfriend is an atheist, you’re too young to get it. But at some point you’re going to figure out that that the evolutionary theory is trash.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. And I’ve talked to many people. I remember I was covering a shift up in Aspen and I was talking to a gentleman. His wife was in the hospital sick. And he says, oh, I don’t believe in that creation because I believe in the science. I’m like, funny you should say that because I’m a Christian, I’m a doctor, and a scientist.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right, exactly.
SPEAKER 16 :
And if you follow the science, the second law of thermodynamics says that evolution is physically impossible. Yep. And now with the law of irreducible complexity, you take a cell down to its most basic components. The strip it down of everything. It would be like stripping down a car because John Rush is great at cars. Just to the chassis. Just to the chassis. But remember, you still need tires. You still need an engine or something for locomotion. You need a way to stop that thing because if you don’t, that car is going to crash or it’s not going to go at all. So it’s not actually a car. So if you get to the most basic components, there’s no way in the world that it could have evolved. The cell is the same way. You can’t have a cell without a nucleus. Well, you could have like a red blood cell, but the red blood cell, it carries oxygen. Okay, but it doesn’t replicate itself without a nucleus. You’re like, okay, well, how do we get a nucleus? Well, then we need chromosomes. We need DNA. And so you can play this game and go, you’re right. There’s no physical way that you could have gone from goo to the zoo physically. To you, it doesn’t make sense. Physically, it’s impossible, and it violates every law of science, physics, you name it.
SPEAKER 09 :
And we talked about the horsemen over the months, but for those that don’t know, it’s a play on the four horsemen of death. It’s cancer, brain disease, heart disease, and metabolic dysfunction. And all four of those things, in order with the heart being the worst or what’s killing the majority of people over the last several hundred years, And now we’re finding that we’re calling the fifth horseman, which is the immune system. And if you bolster the immune system and you make it as powerful as you possibly can, you’re going to prevent those other four horsemen from taking over and causing aging, dysfunction, disease, and eventually death. So it’s nice to be able to focus on something new that I didn’t know a whole lot about that we learned about in Vegas. And there’s certain ways that you can, and again, like we said, sleep, exercise, you know, the right nutritional plan and managing your stress markers also help bolster the immune system. But there’s new technology now that can take things to the next level, which is what I’m embarking on. And here we are now, I think this is month eight or nine, still haven’t been sick. And I’m watching, you know, this K flu subquant variant wipe out half a hockey team. And, you know, everyone’s falling over the place and getting COVID and You know, I’m focused on the immune system with specific interventions. And I have never gone this long in my life without being sick.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
Even when I was young, healthy, vibrant athlete, I would still go down with something. So there’s so many ways that our immune system is getting attacked environmentally, external, internal. And there’s like a matrix that I’m figuring out here. And you have the solution between your two clinics. And I’m not even sure you put all that together just yet that until you started to uncover all this autoimmune disease, because people are listening to us and getting their biomarkers done. Like, look, you got ANP antibodies and you have mixed connective tissue disease. And look, you have the markers of lupus and, you know, you have rheumatoid arthritis and your RA factors through the roof. People don’t feel this stuff in the early stages until extreme joint pain and maybe it’s too late. But you can get ahead of this. You get ahead of the immune system, all of a sudden other things are going to start to fall in line. So thank you for taking an hour on the immune system because it’s often overlooked, I think. I mean, yeah, you have the innate and the adaptive system. you know, that work together. But it sounds like most of what we’re doing to our bodies based on the opening rant with all the poisons is throwing that into chaos. So how do we clear up the chaos?
SPEAKER 16 :
So when we come back, let’s talk about how we, first off, how do we look for the chaos? How do we measure the chaos? And then what do we do about it?
SPEAKER 09 :
Love it.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right. So when we come back, we’ll be talking about that. You’re listening to Dr. Scott Falkner with Jeremy Sova, 560 KLZ. We’ll be right back.
SPEAKER 07 :
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. Call now for a free consultation. 303-806-8886
SPEAKER 02 :
What if you could get over 110 lab biomarkers tested just like Dr. Mark Hyman advertises, but for a fraction of the cost and with a doctor who actually explains the results? At Castle Rock Regenerative Health, Dr. Scott Faulkner has recreated this powerful biomarker test panel at a substantial savings. We have a special price for both men and women. Just $689. That’s a savings of over $2,500 over the standard price. And here’s the difference. With Hyman, you get numbers on a page. With Castle Rock Regenerative Health, you get Dr. Faulkner and his team walking you through every result, showing what’s off and creating a personalized plan to fix it. What’s even better, you don’t even have to be a concierge patient to get this pricing. This is open to everyone. Think about it. Most people’s deductible is higher than this special price. And your regular doctor, if he could get approved by your insurance, would never order this many tests, let alone know what to do with them. Call 303-663-6990 today or visit CastleRockRegenerativeHealth.com. That’s 303-669-6990. Take control of your health at Castle Rock Regenerative Health.
SPEAKER 16 :
This is Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. Welcome back, listeners. Dr. Scott Faulkner in Hour 3 of Health and Wellness Wednesday. Thank you for sticking with Jeremy and myself as we’re talking about the immune system, which is the fifth horseman of, well, this kind of play on the four horsemen of death.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right. So we call it the fifth horseman.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, so we were talking about the immune system, and so what is the immune system? So many of us remember this from high school and maybe college, that the immune system is what helps fight off infections or act as a barrier. So your skin is the biggest organ that we have to prevent diseases. But if you get a cut and you get a fester, you see, oh, I’m getting an infection.
SPEAKER 09 :
The white blood cells do their thing.
SPEAKER 16 :
Let the white blood cells, especially the neutrophils. But in the line of white blood cells, you have neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. And usually that whole system works hand in glove, and it’s very harmonic. But it can get cattywampus as well. And so if you have too many neutrophils, oh, by the way, you have leukemia. If you have too many lymphocytes, then you have the lymphoma. and other diseases like that. So we need that homeostasis or that immune system to be in balance. And to do that, we need to, one, make sure that we’re fueling the system well, right? Because if you’re putting bad gasoline in your car, your engine’s not going to work very well. Well, if we’re putting bad food into our system, it hurts our immune system. If we’re not sleeping well and we just spent an hour talking about how important sleep is, then your immune system is going to suffer. So that was me in November coming back from the Philippines when I was in that airplane for 14 hours. And oh yeah, by the way, I got the razor blade variant of COVID.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right. Compromise your sleep and you’re taking on, you know.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s right. I was jet lagged. My immune system was down. It was a quick turnaround. So I didn’t get a chance to acclimate to the time zone.
SPEAKER 09 :
Wasn’t on your Carol bike as you normally were, too.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s right. Eating different foods, staying in a different place. It was gray overcast because they had typhoons. So all this stuff mounted up and made me susceptible to a viral illness. And sure enough, I got it. And it wrecked me for a week and a half. Now, normally, I remember when I was a medical student, I was sick all the time because I was doing my third year in London, England. And I was not used to those bacteria and bugs and viruses. And so you were just hacking and wheezing the whole time. But then your immune system gets stronger. And then it was impervious. So I was like yourself. I would rarely get sick. And if I did, day and a half, I’d kick it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Come and go. Yep.
SPEAKER 16 :
But that stinking COVID variant, man, that just rocked my world. So I had to build myself back up, started eating well again, sleeping in my own bed, working specifically on my sleep quality with my aura ring. It’s like, dude, you’re way off base. So it helped me get back onto track. And suddenly I noticed my workouts were getting better because My weights went down. The time that I could spend on my Carol bike, it rocked my world. My records just went into the toilet. That’s awesome. And you can feel it. But slowly but surely, it started coming back up. And you and I were talking during the break how I just switched to the NAD Plus strips.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right, yep.
SPEAKER 16 :
So I wasn’t going to go down this rabbit hole, but I think this is a perfect time to do it. So because NAD is so critical to the human body. So what is NAD plus? And we’ve talked about this on other shows, but I know that there’s listeners who are new to this and like, oh, I heard something about this NAD. What is NAD? So NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It’s a distant cousin to niacin in the human body. But it’s a coenzyme to the Krebs cycle where your mitochondria is making ATP. That’s right. Adenosine triphosphate. So ATP is the fuel of the cell. It’s energy production. It’s energy. And your body cannot store ATP. So all day, every day, your body is creating ATP, even when you’re asleep. Well, as we get older, every 20 years we age, we lose 50% of the NAD in our body.
SPEAKER 09 :
It really goes over a cliff in your 40s, according to the charts I saw in Vegas.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s exactly right. So there for the longest time, people thought, oh, I could take an NAD supplement or an NMN, which is the precursor, and I’ll have tons of NAD.
SPEAKER 09 :
You’ve got NMN and NR are the two precursors.
SPEAKER 16 :
Thank you. Sorry. And so we found out from research that, oh, yeah, by the way, you’re wasting your time and money.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right. You’re going backwards a step when you can go to the right step with the right delivery mechanism. So they found out the right delivery mechanisms of the NAD Plus is where I know you’re going because I’m taking them every day now, and it’s incredible.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes. And so we started off with IV infusions because, well, that’s what the Broncos did. That’s how I found out about this because we’re down in Castle Rock, and we have a lot of the Broncos who live in and around my clinic there.
SPEAKER 09 :
And they work to a certain degree, but it’s just not convenient. You can’t get an IV infusion every day.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, and it’s two hours of sheer hell. Ask anybody who’s done an NAD infusion. They’re like, yeah, it’s not the most pleasant thing in the world. And you’re like, okay. And it’s short-lived. Very short-lived. And so then I did the research. I said, well, wait a second. You can do an IM injection or subcutaneous. Why in the world would I sit in a chair for two hours? So I started experimenting on myself. And the first time I got that shot, within about three minutes, I felt it across my chest. And I’m like, holy cow, what is this? Thank goodness. It was intense. I knew from doing stress tests in the hospital, it’s like, oh, this is like when I do a nuclear stress test on somebody. The adenosine gives you that increased blood flow across the coronaries. And you know when somebody’s feeling it because their eyes get big and they shut up. And I’m like, oh, that’s what this is. Okay, I’m not dying here, but this is really unpleasant, right?
SPEAKER 09 :
Same. I went to a car wash right afterwards. And people are like, are you okay? I’m like, I don’t know. I just took an NAD shot. They’re like, what’s that? I’m like, I don’t know. Leave me alone. And then it went away. But back then I wasn’t measuring anything, so I couldn’t tell you. But what we’ve learned now is in the lab, in the data, is that if you deliver the NAD, bypassing the liver and bypassing the first pass effect in the GI tract and go right under the tongue or in the roof of the mouth, that you’re actually getting the NAD plus into the red blood cells and not just into the surrounding blood plasma, which is the feeling you were describing. And then you really get the boost that we’re talking about here. Yes. And I know that we’ve got samples and you got some more coming down the pike. It’s still in manufacturing. So these will be available relatively soon. But I did take a couple of the samples and, And my son, he’s a 15-year-old hockey player, and the holidays, the video games, and the sleepovers, and the bad food. So he’d taken some time off the ice. And his first game back usually bounces back pretty quick because the rest is good. But he was just sluggish. He was a little tired. His knees and his legs had hurt after the game. I’m like, well, that’s normal, right? He took a break. Well, the next – and he missed the game-winning goal off the – they call it the mac and cheese, the little elbow at the top of the crossbar. So they ended up tying. So the next day, still feeling a little sluggish, went to the gym, did an upper body workout, left the legs alone. And before the game, he’s like, Dad, do you think that NAD Plus thing you take could help me? I’m like – well you got tons of nad plus at your age i saw the charts in vegas but what the hell why not you know so i gave it to him and it’s like it was strawberry flavored or citrus he put it in the roof of his mouth and it dissolved and i think about seven or eight minutes about an hour before game time and i was blown back i mean the kid was coming out of the neutral zone with fire that i haven’t seen he had five shots on goal he scored the game-winning goal with 58 seconds to go on the power play and He had extra pep in his step, in his stride. So again, and you know, to you, a doctor, a scientist, it’s an N of one, but I saw a huge difference from the previous day to him having a, uh, was a hundred milligram dose of NAD, even at his age. And the word that he used with me afterwards was data was so alert out there. So I was thinking more physical ATP energy production. But to him, it was kind of how he saw the ice and the plays developing and where the gaps were. It was very interesting. And I’ve taken it every day, and now I’m measuring it. And I have a before and after test that I’ll share with the group in months to come. It’ll be interesting to see what my levels are. what my baseline is and what they get to as we supplement daily. Cause I’m taking a hundred milligrams every day, seven days a week.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep. And I started that a couple of weeks ago because I just got to the point where I just couldn’t handle the shot. Guys are big sissies and babies. We act tough. Um, you know, the women, they have babies, they do all this stuff and they just shrug it off. Like, okay, just part of life. Um, we guys, we act tough, but I’ll tell you what, I got to the point where I’m like, I don’t want to that shot anymore.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. Especially the muscle, the subcutaneous stuff isn’t so bad, but when you get into the muscle and it flexes and it flexes and it spasms, it’s, it hurts.
SPEAKER 16 :
It does.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. I do it. And I’m glad I don’t have to do it as many times as before. And I’m still doing it with other things, but yeah, it hurts like hell.
SPEAKER 16 :
So the, the, A company that I get my peptides from created the NAD Plus in an oral strip. And so a box has 30 of them, so one a day. And so about two weeks ago, I started taking this NAD at the roof of my mouth. So you peel it open, like you said. You take this little Listerine-looking strip. You put it on your tongue, shove it to the roof of your mouth. The reason why that’s important is because there’s something called a venous plexus, a lot of veins and capillaries in the roof of your mouth and under your tongue. It’s the same principle why we use sublingual nitroglycerin for somebody who’s having a heart attack or angina. It gets right into the bloodstream that fast and bypasses the liver, doesn’t have to be absorbed the whole nine yards through the gut. And so I’m like, okay, well, I don’t feel any different because I’m used to that rush across my chest. And I didn’t get that. I’m like, well, okay. But then I look at my Carol bike and I’m like, oh, my gosh, I just crushed my record. And I had been stagnant except for when I got COVID and I had to build myself back up. But I got to the level where I would normally be. But I hadn’t made any gains in months. I’m like, well, I guess this is as good as it’s going to get. You thought it was a plateau. I thought it was a plateau. And then the same thing because then right after I do the cardiovascular, I do weight training. And I’m tacking 10 pound stacks now onto all my lifts. And I’m like, I’m 59 and a half years old and I have done nothing other than this strip of the roof of my mouth.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. I found that for me, I do zone two cardio pretty much every day or every other day in zone two is what they say is when you should have a little bit of trouble having a conversation. That’s, you know, the heart rates up one 25, one 35. And now I get into zone three cardio and I’m holding a conversation as if it was zone one on the NAD plus strips. And then I said last month, I smashed the The VO2 max, too, which I’m guessing that’s going to go up even more now that I’m using that plus daily. But that was the biggest impact to me was I saw in the stair climber that I wasn’t out of breath when the heart rate was approaching 140. So the stuff works.
SPEAKER 16 :
And this is why I love having you on because you’re a real person, right? Because I can sit here as a doctor and say, oh, well, you need to take this. A lot of doctors are egotistical and it’s like, well, I’m the doctor here. I do it because I said so. Well, oftentimes that’s not good enough. People want to hear from real people who’ve tried this stuff and are like, this is, I’m telling you, this is my experience. It may not work for you, but oh yeah, by the way, we know in longevity medicine or regenerative medicine that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It’s mitochondria, mitochondria, mitochondria. And we’re going to keep talking about mitochondria.
SPEAKER 09 :
How are the mitochondria eliminate the inflammation? If you focus on, and there’s a lot of ways to do it, but those two things alone will absolutely change your life and reverse your age.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s right. So I just wanted to throw that out there. I kind of got a little sidetracked, but hopefully you as a listening audience, you’re like, man, I need some of that energy because my wagon is dragging. So there’s that and a few other tips that we’re going to have. And so when we come back, we have a caller who wants to weigh in, but we’re going to take this break really fast and then we’ll talk to Norman. So you’re listening to Dr. Scott Faulkner with Jeremy Sova, 560 KLZ.

Jeremy and I were talking about the five horsemen or the fifth horseman of the apocalypse, the immune system, and how important that is. And then I started talking about bolstering my system with the NAD+. And Norman, who’s a regular listener to John’s program, wanted to weigh in. So Norman, welcome to Health and Wellness Wednesday. What’s your question?
SPEAKER 17 :
And I’ve seen you about my knees. Oh, yeah, okay. You’re that Norman. I am. So it’s RHO has been flooding the market with their liquid. Correct. And I’m just curious the difference between a strip and a spoonful.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, fantastic. So we were just talking about that, fortuitous, and Jeremy wants to weigh in.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I have experience. So Row Nutrition is a good company. They’re a good CEO, good backing. They were one of the first ones to package this stuff into what they call a liposomal delivery. So liposomes, it helps make its way through the GI tract better than if it’s not packaged in a liposome. So I’m not going to say anything bad about Row Nutrition. But if you stick to the literature and the lab stuff that I’ve been studying, and I can tell you personally, I used to use Ronutrition. I used to use their NAD+, their glutathione, their creatine, and their rosveritrol curcumin mix every morning until I found that there was newer technology. and it’s still getting eaten up by the GI tract, just not as much. So if you go in, like Doc said, the venous plexus and go in, they call it a buccal delivery through the mucosa, whether it’s the top of the mouth or the bottom, you’re bypassing that entirely. So I think pound for pound, dollar for dollar, because they’re very similar in price, that the liposomal technology, whether it’s Rho or any of its competitors, are behind what we’re talking about here.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, it’s old technology. So it was good in its time, but like most things, we have better now. And so if you heard the story of Jeremy talking about his son, the amazing thing about the venous plexus that’s at the roof of your mouth is it bypasses something called the blood brain barrier. And so I know why his son had better vision or more clarity. The alert was the word you used. The alertness is because it goes straight to the brain. And what cells have the most mitochondria and use the most energy? Brain cells. Neurons. Brain cells.
SPEAKER 09 :
By like trillions, right, over the stuff below the blood-brain barrier.
SPEAKER 16 :
Correct. And so by giving that delivery mechanism, you get that huge amount of NAD+, nicotinamide, adenine dinucleotide, straight to the brain. And then, yes, it goes through the rest of the system, but that’s why his son at 15 years of age was so alert and did so well. That’s why my workouts are so much better. That’s why you’re experiencing what you’re experiencing. So, Norman, hopefully this helps that, yeah, the row was good. I’m sorry, what? Is there a couple brand names? No. So we have ours. It’s the only company right now that is making it. So it comes from the company that makes peptides. I haven’t asked them if I can use their name. I will double check with them.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, call the office directly because we’ve got to be careful on air at this stage.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, but we definitely have them. And so it comes in a box of 30. So you just do one a day. Right to the roof of your mouth. It’s kind of fruity flavor. Takes anywhere from three to five minutes to absorb. You said seven minutes?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 16 :
Kind of citrusy. Yeah. And I’ll tell you what, it’s going to be a game changer because I’m going to tease this as well. Oh, yeah, by the way, the same company, they’re working on the dosing. I’ve already sampled the semaglutide and retatrutide. with these strips as well. We also have the BPC-157 in that strip. So we don’t have the Wolverine blend, whereas the BPC-157 with the TB-500, that combination is just pure BPC-157. And I’m going to push them for glutathione. Yeah, they’re already coming out with that as well.
SPEAKER 09 :
Excellent.
SPEAKER 16 :
So that’s the next one on the list. So there’s so many cool things, and if I don’t have to do a shot, Norman, I’m going to be the happiest man on the face of the planet. So hopefully that helps answer your question. Thank you, yes. You’re welcome. Thanks. All right, that was a great call. Thank you, Norman. So that happens every single time. There’s so many things that we wanted to get to, and the clock is just speeding away from us.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, so I’d just like to give my own story on the immune system and how I stumbled into what I think the answer is, or at least from a clinical modality perspective for a clinic like yours.
SPEAKER 04 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 09 :
So my mom’s severe case of rheumatoid arthritis, maybe five or so years ago, her doctor had said that I’m going to get it because for whatever reason, mom to son is a very popular jump for RA. And I started to get some wrist pain on the golf course, you know, a couple of years ago. And I’m like, well, here we go. So I went to a rheumatologist. They tested the RA factor and the C-reactive protein and the sed rate test and found the inflammation and had the early signs. I’d get in the cold water, my wrists would light up. And I’m like, well, is there anything I can do to slow this down or maybe eradicate it? I’m like, so what can I do for my immune system? And the first thing I jumped into, in addition to all the things that I’m doing, was your Hockett sauna, which is like an ozone producing sauna.
SPEAKER 16 :
So let me stop you there. Did the doctor say, Oh no, you need to take methotrexate.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. And then I wanted to jump to the Humira, but I couldn’t afford it. And my mom’s been sticking herself for two grand a month with that. And it helps, but it just, it’s a mask. Right. And then the joints get worse and worse and worse. So I’m like, I want to slow this down. Is it possible to slow it down? And did all the things, right? The GLP-1, the NAD+, the glutathione, all the supplements, the sleep, the exercise. I’m like, all right. Well, and then I tested my baseline, RA factor, RNP antibodies. And again, my personal pain symptoms and joint symptoms. SI joints in my back and my wrists were symmetrically the ones that really lit up the worst. So I started going in your ozone sauna about six or seven months ago and I got an immune response in a fever, like a fake fever to activate my immune defenses. And I’m like, all right, well, this is cool. I’m not getting sick anymore, but I don’t think this is necessarily going to reverse my rheumatoid arthritis. So what other toys, you know, do you have? And then I jumped in to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. I’m up to, I And then I’ve had the stem cells, and I’m looking forward to the therapeutic plasma exchange, which I think is the king of everything that we just mentioned in this realm. And six months later, my RE factor is down in the normal range. My RNP antibodies are down 200%. I have no wrist pain, and I have no SI joint pain in my back. So the Hockett, the HBOT, and the stem cells, which I’m going to call three of the four legs of the stool, have already got me out of full-blown rheumatoid arthritis and getting me to a point that I might reverse and eliminate this autoimmune disease altogether. And the biggest one I want to talk about is the therapeutic plasma exchange. You mentioned it briefly in the previous hour. But this is taking out the bad blood plasma. You take out the harmful cytokines and autoantibodies and immune complexes and restore that plasma environment with the albumin. And you strengthen both the innate and adaptive immune systems. And we see this study for aging. It takes the clock back three to six years if you do. you know, three treatments, six treatments is the sweet spot. But they’re really, what I learned in Vegas at a whole hour on TPE, that the primary thing that they’re seeing is the help to the immune system in helping eradicate immune dysfunction, immune disorders, and full-blown autoimmune disease. So this is one that I’m looking forward to layering on. And I’m going to place a bet here that I’m never going to get rheumatoid arthritis. And I was destined for it. And we haven’t done any epigenetic gene hacking or CRISPR treatments. This is just four modalities that are sitting in Casarock that are available for anybody that has immune dysfunction. And it sounds like it’s a much bigger number than anybody even realized because the immune system… is being compromised by environmental factors, lifestyle factors, all the nasty stuff we talked about earlier. And we don’t even know that our main defenses are like Venezuela, like completely open to attack.
SPEAKER 16 :
Good analogy. So it’s funny that you should say that because since I’ve implemented checking the 110 biomarkers, I am – finding so many people with autoimmune disorders that are just smoldering. And they say their symptoms are, oh, I just thought I was getting tired or I thought it was because I jacked up my wrist because I was playing hockey or I fell down the stairs or whatever. And it turns out, lo and behold, their autoimmune markers are elevated. And nobody would have ever thought to put two and two together unless you measure it. And so that’s why we always say we can’t manage it if we don’t measure it. So do that biomarker scan test. And then if we see a positive ANA, anti-nuclear antibody, which is the start, because then there’s other modalities or different diseases that can give you a positive ANA factor.
SPEAKER 09 :
To give you an analogy, someone’s pre-diabetic for a number of years, A1Cs, 5-7, 5-8, 6-1. And you can reverse it by doing the right things. But if you don’t, you go into full-blown type 2 diabetes. This is the same concept. You can smolder around this autoimmune dysfunction and have these titers and these ANAs that are off. But at some point, you’re going to go over that cliff and have full-blown autoimmune disease. There’s no cure for it. They’re just going to throw medicines like the Humeras and whatnot, but you’re going to get worse and worse in your fingers and your elbows and your joints. But you can get ahead of this now in your 40s and 50s and make sure that you bolster the immune system with what we’re talking about here to avoid that disease from taking foot and driving it backwards just like we’re using GLP-1s to drive prediabetes into a healthy A1C.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. And this text was sent to me earlier today by somebody who I did that biomarker panel on, the ultra panel, and she had a positive ANA. And I said, well, do you have symptoms of Sjogren’s syndrome? What is Sjogren’s? That’s an autoimmune disorder that attacks the salivary glands and your lacrimal ducts, right? So you get dry eyes and a dry mouth. And so people drink a lot of water thinking, oh, well, I’m thirsty. No, it’s a lack of saliva and lack of tear that your eyes are making. So that’s what’s feeling the feeling of dryness. That’s the first symptom because this person had a positive ANA. And I’m like, well, you don’t have symptoms of lupus. You don’t have a malar or butterfly rash. You don’t have other the stigmata. Kidneys were fine, liver was fine. In fact, the very first case of lupus I ever saw when I was a medical student was a lady at Camarillo, the state mental hospital in California, and it hit her brain. She was gonzo. First case of lupus I ever saw. I’m like, oh my gosh, this is some bad stuff. Anyway, this patient, she sent me this earlier today. It’s from Optometric Management. So usually the eye doctors are the ones who… They’re picking it up. They’re picking it up because of the dry eyes. And so this doctor says… They think it might be myasthenia gravis.
SPEAKER 09 :
They’re going down a whole bunch of wormholes. Then you find out it’s autoimmune.
SPEAKER 16 :
Or just regular dry eyes. Everybody has dry eyes. Here are some drops. Yeah, give them the retina drops. That’s right. And so this OD, Kelly Nichols, wrote, «As many as 4 million people in the United States are believed to be affected by Sjogren’s syndrome, a chronic systemic progressive autoimmune inflammatory disease.» It’s estimated that only 1 million people have been diagnosed. That means 75% of the people have not.
SPEAKER 09 :
Of nine of my, I’m not going to name names, but of nine of my family and friends that we’ve done the biomarkers and they’ve sent them to me for review, two of them have that Sjogren’s and eight of the nine have autoimmune dysfunction.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 09 :
None of them ever knew.
SPEAKER 16 :
They would have never known.
SPEAKER 09 :
Never would have picked it up. Now they’re like, what do I do about it? I’m like, well, that’s a whole other conversation. Get A, B, and C in line and then reach out.
SPEAKER 16 :
Right. But once we find it, now we can manage it. That’s exactly right. Right? So we went quite a bit long on this segment. So we’ll come back for the final segment before we’re out of here. And let’s hit some of these other modalities. Kind of what do they do? You mentioned like TP, the therapeutic plasma exchange, the HBOT, hyperbaric oxygen therapy. And we’ll finish on that note of what people can do for their immune system and then answer the question, is there such a thing as a beginner’s detox program in my clinic? So we’ll address that before we get out of here.
SPEAKER 09 :
Ironically, that’s a big topic next month.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes. So we’ll tease that. We’ll give you a short answer and then we’ll hit the long answer in February. So Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John Rush, 560 KLSB. We’ll be right back.

SPEAKER 16 :
Welcome back, listeners, to the final segment of Health and Wellness Wednesdays. We’re in the third hour. Jeremy Sova and I have been talking about the immune system for the last 45 minutes. And, Jeremy, you had touched on some of the things that help the immune system like TPE, therapeutic plasma exchange, stem cells, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which is that chamber. People think of it as scuba diver chamber if they get the bends. But there’s actually so many other things that it can do. And then the ozone sauna called the hocket. So start with the TPE, therapeutic plasma exchange. What is it? How does that work?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I looked into all four of them because before I was going to take the divalor to make sure that it was pound for pound, worth the money, getting what I’m going to get out of it. The three of the four have already done a great job, so I’m looking forward to adding the TPE. So basically what the therapeutic plasma exchange is going to do is remove that nasty stuff in your blood plasma, inflammatory cytokines, immune complexes, and strengthening that innate and adaptive immune system to all the age-related diseases that are going to come. So it’s very straightforward. I think you got several openings left at that once in a lifetime only price. So if people are interested in fixing the immune system, and we’re going to talk about couples in a minute, I highly recommend you take advantage of that before the pricing goes up. Stem cells, they give you a rich source of cells that generate new, young, healthy immune cells like your T cells and macrophages that rebuild your defenses. So there’s a leg of the stool with the stem cells. The hyperbaric chamber that I’m in, it adds oxygen to my tissues, enhances my white blood cell function, which is, again, the macrophages and the neutrophils you talked about. Takes out the inflammation and reduces cytokine storms in the body. So you hear a cytokine storm. That’s what was killing people during COVID. Correct. You know, so you can eliminate cytokine storm possibility through the hyperbaric oxygen. And then the Hockett sauna, which seems to be the least favorite because it’s a little bit torturous if you don’t like dry sauna. but on purpose because it gives you hyperthermia or that fake fever, activates your immune defense, puts it on high alert, and it’s a detox to a question that just came in from a caller. It removes toxins at the cellular level in your body, which gives your immune system the opportunity to breathe and focus on new threats. So we’ll talk detox across the entire body with the microbiome next month. But yes, for a quick detox, let’s say, you know, you go to a bachelor party in Vegas and you have too much fun. You get into this sauna, you can get rid of all of that stuff. And the ozone is going to get your white blood cell count up, stimulate your interferon and interleukin-2, which is a little geeky, but, you know, those things are good, I would assume, you know, asking the doc. So those things in combination is going to give you the best possible immune system environment to prevent the heart, the brain, the metabolic, and the cancer, and most importantly, the autoimmune disease that I’ve eradicated. But I do want to talk for a minute. We’ve got some studies from Emory University and from the University of California where TPE for men and women now, as a couple, before you conceive a child, is pretty important. For the woman, you’re removing what they call those PFAS, those forever chemicals that you accumulate throughout your life. And they’re finding these in the baby’s blood samples at birth. And they’re also finding that the mom is passing these dangerous forever chemicals to the infants during breastfeeding, which breastfeeding is extremely important to avoid allergies. And I was bottle fed and had all kinds of allergies. Well, that explains it. Yeah, right. And then micro the new one is microplastics in semen for men. It’s the article called father’s microplastics exposure ties their children’s to their children’s metabolic problems. Essentially, you know, the microplastics that we’ve accumulated mostly in this generation’s lifetime. is causing metabolic dysfunction in the kid. So the man needs to get that stuff out before impregnating the wife and the wife needs to get the stuff out before having the baby. So you got to come up with some kind of a couple’s thing or treatment that’s affordable because six to 12 months prior to conception, they go through three of these treatments, get all that nasty stuff out. Then they conceive and that child is going to have a much better chance of not having, you know, immune dysfunction or, you know, God forbid, autism like we talked about earlier. But we’re at the point now where it’s a little scary to think about, but we can make sure our kids don’t get a bad card dealt to them because we can be proactive on the front end. I mean, before even having sex, that’s crazy, but we’re seeing the data and the studies. So it’s exciting to see that these options are out there for couples that may be higher risk.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, and it’s coming down the pike. So thank goodness for RFK Jr. saying, no, we need to put the food pyramid on its head. You need to actually eat good, clean food. We kind of knew that, but really to put pressure on that food industry to stop giving us all this highly processed garbage. And so that’s one part of it. But we’ve said it before. We’re going to say it again. You’ve got to get your biomarkers checked. That’s right. That’s part of that detox because there’s other things that I’m finding on people. It’s opening my eyes that I never did before. And now it’s like, oh, well, by the way, your cortisol is too high. We talked about stress. Oh, you have an autoimmune disorder. Oh, by the way, you’re polycythemic because your guy at the Rocky Mountains Men’s Clinic is giving you injectable testosterone and you’re about to have a stroke.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 16 :
And you didn’t even know it. So we’ve got to get those biomarkers. Then we can talk about… The plan and part of that detox is stem cells, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the ozone sauna, and soon to come down the pike in our new place, we already have the machine, the TPE. You saw it in the crate. Yeah, I can’t wait to get the nurses trained. Yes, and we’ll be offering that as well as the spinal injection center for stem cells and many other really cool things.
SPEAKER 09 :
And real quick, my speed of aging is down to 0.8, which means I’m only aging 0.8 of a year every year. And my telomere length results are at 7.2. So now we have two baselines on how can I slow the speed of aging and lengthen my telomeres that are measurable with data. So stay tuned.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, remember the telomeres are on the end of the DNA. You need long telomeres.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s one of the hallmarks of aging that we’ll dive into next month.
SPEAKER 16 :
So thank you for listening. This has been a lot of fun. Dr. Scott Faulkner and Jeremy Sova signing off.
SPEAKER 09 :
Thanks, everybody.
