SPEAKER 05 :
This is Rush to Reason. You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes. With your host, John Rush. My advice to you is to do what your parents did!
SPEAKER 02 :
Get a job, Turk! You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference!
SPEAKER 10 :
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 04 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush, presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 04 :
Welcome back, listeners. Dr. Scott, last and final hour, Health and Wellness Wednesday on Tuesday, right before Fourth of July. I have my friend, patient, guru, what?
SPEAKER 08 :
Anti-aging biohacker.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right. Intelligent aging biohacker. Jeremy Sova here in the studio with me. James Flatting had to go to his son’s football game. If you want to ask Jeremy a question or even myself, 303-477-5600. I know I didn’t give it out earlier because we’ve got so much information to try and get through. And it’s going to take this full three hours to really… hone in on giving you that roadmap to better health, better longevity. But if you have a specific question, we’ll gladly take it. Jeremy loves questions. But we’re going to continue. So those who are driving, if you’ve just come in, we’re giving you that plan. When you get home after this is posted tonight on Rush to Reason, go back, start from the beginning, take a piece of paper and a pen and start to write down these things Because there’s a lot of information that we can’t go back and cover again. We’re going to just keep blazing forward because we’ve only got one more hour. And you gave me basically war and peace here of information to go through. cherry picking the things that you as a person need to know, things that you can do. And at the very end, we’re going to tell you based on your budget, kind of what should come first, second, third, in that kind of an order. So let’s not waste any more time. Let’s jump into exercise now, Jeremy.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep. So sleep, exercise, nutritional biochemistry, and stress management are how you attack all four of those horsemen. So now we’re on to exercise. Building muscle throughout your life and VO2 max. If there’s only two things you should focus on to improve your health span and longevity, it’s those two things. Start by choosing the five most important activities you want to do until you die. Um, minor golf, skiing, sex, driving, and my workouts call that my centenarian decathlon. I’m a hundred years old. I want to be able to do all five of those things. How do I do that? It’s important to start with the basics, right? Stability and grip strength are foundational. Babies can squat perfectly. And then they grow up, put on shoes, lose core stability and balance, you know, same thing. Like get yourself a trainer, even if it’s a short period of time to learn this stuff. Start with your core stability, basically movements without weights, right? Body weight stuff. Do a squat correctly. Do lunges correctly. Grip strength training. Being able to squeeze something with a lot of power is a telltale sign of how long you’re going to live. Even Dana White was just given a grip strength monitor as he was walking by the crowd the other night. He squeezed it. It was like 77 pounds. He was like, I can do better. you know, so these are important things. Um, so basically find a trainer to work with a couple of days a week, someone that’s going to hold you accountable. They’re going to teach you the right movements and then they’re going to make you do them. And then all of a sudden you’re going to get addicted to feeling better. You’re going to start to build some muscle. Maybe you offset, you know, some of the muscle loss that you get from these GLP ones that were, that we’re taking to help lose weight and improve our metabolic and brain health. You know, avoid the sarcopenia, which is when your muscles are degrading over time. Add supplements to help with your muscles like creatine and HMB. You know, do something that’s, you know, basically, you know, easy to do. This Oura ring that I have, I can walk six minutes at full speed in a straight line and it’ll tell me my VO2 max. And I can do it every month and track it. It’s not exactly like putting the machinery on and doing it in a lab, but it’s close enough. I’ve done both. It’s definitely close enough. So VO2 max is basically pushing yourself as hard as you possibly can for a short period of time. Some people call it high intensity interval training. where you go really hard for a few minutes and then you slow down for a minute. But VO2 Max is pushing yourself the absolute most that you can go. And you get that number. Look online against all the other people in your age group and see how healthy you are. And you can push that number up over time. And there’s people 90, 100 years old that have a better VO2 Max than you and I do because they work on it. So I do want to give a plug to my trainer and his wife, Jason and Abby at New Fit and Fuel. Website is coachingwithabby, A-B-B-Y, coachingwithabby.com. And they can kind of do all things nutrition, foundational workouts, strength training. They work with athletes, kind of a full gamut. They’re in Parker, done a great job for me personally. So I wanted to basically give them a shout out. Sure. Um, but exercise, everyone’s like, Oh yeah, exercise, exercise, do things that are smart. Don’t hurt yourself. Don’t go lift a bunch of heavy weights and not know what you’re doing. Like get someone that can help you and eventually you can take it on yourself. But, um, best thing I own is a gym membership at a fitness center that I’m in five days a week. It’s really changed my life without exercise and this other stuff would work.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. Yeah. And proper mechanics is so important because I work out down in my basement. I have both free weights and a universal machine. And I just got my Carol bike for my birthday. Nice. So I’m stoked. I just put it together. So I can’t wait to get my VO2 Max even better than it is now. But I bench pressed it. And it’s kind of that guy ego thing. I pushed it a little harder than I should have. Sure. And I felt my left shoulder just a little tweak. I’m like, well, that’s nothing. And I did probably another four reps in that set. And that set that shoulder back three months.
SPEAKER 08 :
There you go. Yep. Probably a small labrum tear or something.
SPEAKER 04 :
Because I did not listen to my body. I knew better. And I was actually using the machine because I didn’t have anybody to spot me. Right. But even with the machine being a dummy, not listening to my body, I set myself back. So it is so important, mechanics, mechanics, and listen to your body. If something’s off… don’t do it or back off.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. I mean, I would say go full three months with just body weight.
SPEAKER 04 :
Correct.
SPEAKER 08 :
Don’t even use weights. Get all the movements down perfectly with your own body weight.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
And then once you got the movement down, there’s some muscle memory there. You can start to layer on the weights and if you want to bulk up, that’s fine. But there’s so many setbacks from people that hit things too hard in the gym.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. And you don’t have to go fast. And I don’t spend two hours down in my basement anymore like I used to. When I was younger, I’m in there for 10, 15 minutes. I’m doing the big muscles, bench press, military press for the tris and the pecs and everything. This morning, I did the rows for the lats, reverse curls for the biceps, brachioradialis, and then the shoulder shrugs. But I’m not spending two hours, folks, and I’m feeling pretty good. Okay, looking great. Yeah, thank you.
SPEAKER 08 :
I would say 45 minutes tops.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
You know, because you’re going to have a lot more time that you need to spend on kind of that cardio VO2 max health as well.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 08 :
You know, but resistance training, you can knock out a really good workout in 45 minutes.
SPEAKER 04 :
Right. And for those of you who are either with me in my clinic on the GLPs, right, the semaglutide, the turzotide, the retitutides, you know, So there’s a possibility of losing some muscle mass. So yes, you have to get the proper protein amount and you have to do some resistance training. You can’t let the drug do all the work because you’re going to lose some muscle.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep, tear the muscle and feed it with protein.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s it. Okay. So this is a great time to take a break. We’re at about 5.14, 5.15. We’ll take a break, and then we’ll come back and we’ll continue this. Great. So you’re listening to Dr. Scott Filena for John Rush on this Health and Wellness Wednesday on Tuesday.
SPEAKER 01 :
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.

SPEAKER 13 :
Michael Bailey, the mobile estate planner, has the key to wisely protecting your college-aged kids. Think about it. If your kiddo goes off to college and gets hurt, the hospital won’t let you make decisions for them because at age 18 and above, they are technically an adult. What if they’re unconscious? Will a doctor let you make healthcare decisions for an adult and stay informed about their medical condition? No. Before they’re 18, it’s a given. You can make those decisions. But after 18, there is typically no spouse or someone already approved to legally make those crucial decisions. Michael Bailey can help make short work of a general medical or financial power of attorney for your college goer in one easy appointment. He’s got the experience and knowledge to ensure that whatever happens, you can still be a dedicated parent to your kids. Find him on the klzradio.com advertisers page. and protect your kids by getting your Power of Attorney appointment set up today. Putting reason into your afternoon drive. This is John Rush.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right. Welcome back, listeners. Dr. Scott and Jeremy filling in for John on this Tuesday. We got a lot of more information to get through. I want to give you as much as possible to chew on to help yourselves get healthy as possible. So we’re going to just keep moving forward. Let’s talk about nutritional biochemistry.
SPEAKER 08 :
Nice. So nutrition is the easy way to say it, but nutritional biochemistry also counts. The supplements and any medications you’re taking is pretty much anything that you put between your lips is going to fall into this bucket with food being the most, most fun. Um, so the first thing I’m going to say is a lot of people in this space are trying to get away from pharmaceutical drugs entirely, which I think is a little naive. Like, uh, for instance, the GLP ones are a perfect example of that. Like if, if you’re trying to do everything naturally without assistance from a doc, it’s you’re not going to get the same results. So a lot of folks are like, oh, I’m not going to take any drugs. So there’s some good ones. There’s some bad ones. There’s some that depends, right, on your own body. So we’ve got to figure those out with the stuff that we talked earlier and getting your biomarkers. But they can add decades to your health span and longevity.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, we talked about Zeti at the very beginning when we first started out, right? Right, exactly. That’s a cholesterol-lowering medicine, but it doesn’t inhibit the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals. So that’s a good thing.
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely. So if you can’t lower your lipid profile naturally, then you may need some pharmaceuticals to do it. But it’s better to get it done, even if you’ve got to take a couple of drugs once in a while. Yeah. When it comes to diet and nutrition, I’m going to try to make this pretty easy. 80-20 rule, right? 80% of the time, try to be perfect. And 20% of the time, live your life, right? And what does perfect mean? Well, the data shows that it’s what they’re calling the Mediterranean diet.
SPEAKER 04 :
Mm-hmm. Though we’ve known that for 25 years.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. Yeah. Yeah. So we heard all the different fads over the period of time. But that’s the Mediterranean diet’s the way to go. Eat extra virgin olive oil every day. I take a four-tablespoon shot every morning with my vitamins to start the day. Fat-soluble, good, healthy, good, clean fat. Find a combination that you like. Google Mediterranean diet and just go through and pick out the fishes that you like and the vegetables that you like and the fruits that you like. and try to stick to that 80% of the time. Um, and other 20%, like I said, eat the steak, eat the pizza, eat the pasta, have the ice cream, you know, have your glucose monitor on. So you know when to do it. For instance, I’ve learned that for me to eat these foods, it’s better to do it right before I exercise. And then the exercise actually keeps me from spiking the glucose. Um, But if I eat after I exercise and say go watch a movie or something, I see the glucose spiking. So when I eat the bad foods, I do it before I work out. So that’s kind of the cheat code there. Eliminate alcohol from your life if you can. It’s very hard, everybody. There’s a lot of things that we’ve learned to adapt to over the course of our lives, and alcohol plays a big part of it, particularly socially. try to keep it to the vacations right try to keep it to the four-day weekends or to the to the vacations but don’t drink alcohol daily it’s doing so much harm for your body and we’re learning how much more harm and luckily the kids now the gen z-ers are spending a third of the amount of money on alcohol than three previous generations so i don’t know if that’s happening organically but it’s a good trend and i hope it continues because alcohol is very very bad for the body
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and a lot of these microbreweries now, especially if you’re a beer drinker, like I will get, especially in the summertime, I just have a craving for a beer. Hot day, cold beer. I’ll buy like a six-pack, and at the end of the summer, I’m throwing three of them away because they got skunky on me.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right.
SPEAKER 04 :
But every once in a while on a hot day, it’s like, man, that would taste good. Well, I found some of these microbreweries are making great non-alcoholic beers. That’s right. They taste the same. That’s exactly right. It’s not like decaf coffee where you know you get decaf and I love coffee. And by the way, there’s never been a study that shows caffeine is bad for you or even coffee. It’s actually good for you. It’s good for you. Decreases colon cancer and things like that. So keep drinking your coffee, folks. Not that gross stuff from Starbucks with all the sugar and whatnot. That’s not real coffee. But these non-alcoholic beers are really good. Or you can make like a fake margarita.
SPEAKER 08 :
They call them mocktails.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, mocktails.
SPEAKER 08 :
And a lot of restaurants have them on the menu now, and they’re very tasty. So you can actually order one.
SPEAKER 04 :
and be social and not feel the stigma that you’re not joining in on the group yeah there’s no alcohol in there yeah and so what we’ll do is we’ll take uh you know some oranges and limes and make it a citrus one or sometimes we’ll take watermelon and grind it up blend it up and make that a margarita and so you don’t have to have alcohol because you’re right it will wreck your body
SPEAKER 08 :
If you must indulge, keep it to two or three drinks max and end it there. Don’t go on those binges because if you start tracking like I’m doing, you’ll see how bad it can really be.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay, and then you want to talk about protein because we’re talking nutritional biochemistry.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep. So protein, try to get one gram of protein for every pound of your body weight. I weigh 172 pounds. I try to take in 172 grams of protein every day. It includes breakfast, lunch, a shake and dinner to get to those numbers. And I also put a total body amino acid mix, vanilla flavored into my black coffee in the morning, which gives me about 30 grams of protein, but it’s the building block, the amino acid building blocks that, that help my muscles optimize the protein. And then I take creatine afterwards. So protein is very important, especially if you’re on a GLP-1. I know we’ve covered this before, but you’re going to lose muscle. You’ll lose much less muscle if you’re resistance training and you’re getting your protein and get it from all different sources. Get it from cottage cheese, the casein protein. Get it from polyphenol plant-based proteins. Maybe some weight, maybe some animal protein, but mix it up and just make sure you’re getting that much because science shows that’s how you’re going to optimize things. And then creatine after the workout is two and a half times more effective than before.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, and as the doctor in the room, make sure your kidney function is okay before you start taking creatine because if your kidneys are not healthy and you add creatine and you’re dehydrated, you’re putting gasoline on a wildfire. So when you’re getting those biomarkers, right, you’re starting this journey, you’ll want to get those. And if your kidney function is healthy and you’re staying hydrated, go for it.
SPEAKER 08 :
And it looks like 5 grams is the right amount because there’s no science that shows over 5 grams has any more benefit. Some people, like Rory McIlroy says he takes 10. The science is showing me that 5 is kind of the safe zone after the workout, whether you get it for a liposomal or a powder form. But, yeah, kidney function is – we would know that because we went back and we checked our biomarkers before we decided to take the creatine.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right. Good for you. And then what about supplements, vitamins, minerals –
SPEAKER 08 :
First, no sugary drinks whatsoever. Cut them out of your life entirely. Refined sugars and drinks is the number one easy way to basically take this metabolic syndrome issue to the next level. Cut the sugary drinks out. And try to fast for a minimum of 12 hours. I do 16. But let the body digest, recoup, do all the things to help you sleep. So fasting 12 to 16 hours a day I think is…
SPEAKER 04 :
pretty helpful based on everything that i’ve learned so far yeah and it sounds tough but you think about it if you stop eating around 7 30 then you eat at 7 30 in the morning that’s it right that’s a 12 hour fast right there like oh so and we call that an intermittent fast or maybe you start at 9 a.m right so now you’ve tacked a couple hours on it but your body will thank you for that
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, so I’ll put the amino protein mix in the black coffee, and it doesn’t break my fast. So I get 26 grams of protein while I’m still fasting, which means I don’t actually have to have breakfast until 10, 30, or 11.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and where do you get that blend? I don’t know where you get it from.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think it’s Total Body is the name of the company. Yeah. Gary Brekka is I think their head spokesperson right now. So if you Google Gary Brekka total protein, you will get to the company and they’re like big blue tubs that have different flavors and it’s a powder. You put one scoop, mix it in the black coffee, mix it with 15 milligrams of methylene blue drops too, which we can talk about in a few.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. So we’ll be talking about methylene blue and rapamycin before we close out. Extra virgin olive oil. Are you a fan of single source or the stuff you can buy at Costco and Sam’s that has like five different countries that they threw their olive oil in?
SPEAKER 08 :
So now I’ll give blueprint plug, Brian Johnson. I use his, it’s called snake oil because he’s got the best extra virgin olive oil based on the numbers that we’ve looked at of anyone on the market. And it’s part of his sales pitch. Um, but that’s the stuff I use now. I used to get the expensive stuff just from the grocery store. Um, but since I’ve been biohacking, I learned if I’m going to drink extra virgin olive oil every day, let’s get the best stuff possible.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
So it’s called snake oil by blueprint is what I use.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. I love extra virgin olive oil.
SPEAKER 08 :
In the beginning, I didn’t like it, but now I crave it. It’s amazing how your body adapts to things like that.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and if you’re cooking, use things that are high heat tolerant, right? The avocado oils, the walnut oils, things like that. Ghee, ghee butter. Exactly. So little subtle changes in your cooking habits will pay big dividends.
SPEAKER 08 :
Take the vegetable oil in your house and go throw it away right now.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, if it says canola, sunflower, anything like that, just pitch it. Don’t even give it to – goodwill or whatever.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, just throw it away.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 08 :
And don’t ever buy it again.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right. Let’s talk, we’ve got about four minutes before our next break, inflammation and mitochondria health. I know we talked about it briefly, but people are writing this stuff down. So what about inflammation and mitochondria health?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, so try to eliminate inflammation from your life and your body and focus on powering the mitochondria in your body. And it’s going to take some blood work to figure out where the inflammation is. And we’ll talk a little bit about some cool toys that you have, Doc, that I’ve used to basically eliminate inflammation from my body below all detectable marks or detectable levels. So Google it. Look how to reduce inflammation. There’s a lot of ways to do it. Exercise, food, sleep. Some of the cool toys we’re going to talk about. They call it inflammation because inflammation is really the root of all diseases is what we’re finding. So you got to get rid of that inflammation and then drive that mitochondria machine, that ATP machine that you talked about and use AI. It will help you achieve this within your budget and what fits your particular lifestyle. But that’s what started my journey was really high inflammation.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
And now I have barely any.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay. So let’s do this. Let’s take a break now. It’s a little bit early, but that’s going to give us enough time to talk about all the cool toys and whatnot, and then we’ll make sure that people who are on a budget, we’ll give them a blueprint of what can they do to start this journey to close everything out. Perfect. So you’re listening to Dr. Scott Faulkner, filling in for John Rush, 560-KLZ, and we’ll be right back.

SPEAKER 04 :
All right, welcome back listeners. Dr. Scott filling in for John Rush, my guest Jeremy Sova. We’re talking about kind of his journey over the last five years of biohacking, how he was in horrible shape and now he looks incredible. He feels incredible and we actually have biomarkers and labs that we can prove that he’s actually reversed his biological age versus his chronological age. So we’re giving you the blueprint. At the very end, the last few minutes, we promise you we will give you basically a blueprint of what you can do based on your budget. That’s right. But right now we’re doing deeper dives on all the specific things. So I want to talk about some of the cool things, right, the HBOTs of the world, the stem cells of the world, things that I’m doing in my clinic. So things that you’re doing right now.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, so let’s start with this Bethylene Blue everyone’s talking about. Okay. You can talk more about it, but it sounds to me like it powers the mitochondria. It’s very good for cognitive function. It’s helping me with my energy. I put it in my coffee every morning. It’s 15 milligrams. It makes your pee green.
SPEAKER 04 :
Blue and yellow make green.
SPEAKER 08 :
So I think that’s an important what we can call in the drug or supplement category that everybody should be doing. And then rapamycin, which is we talked a little bit about it last time. Right. And it’s basically a drug that was used for organs to be able to take an organ transplant. And they’re finding out now that it has profound effects on longevity and it helps you anti-age. And I’ve been on it for about a year and a half now. I’m at the maintenance dose. I started at one milligram, two, three, four. It took months to get here. Now I’m at 6.6 milligrams. I take it for a month, and then I take a month off, and it works. You have to slowly titrate up to make sure you don’t attack what they call mTOR C2, which is a mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR. Um, so you don’t want to go up and take a bunch of this stuff. You know, you want to start at one milligram, take it once a week, four weeks, take a break, increase it to two once a week, four weeks, take a break until you get to 6.6 and then you’re on the maintenance dose. And I’ve been so impressed with it that I’ve now got my veterinarian giving it to my dog. So my dog is on three milligrams, one milligram every other day, Monday through Friday weekends off. Um, And I’ve already seen her start to turn around in a couple of weeks. So rapamycin, you have to get it from your doctor. It’s a prescription. I know you got a really good source of it, as do I. So that’s something that everyone, I think, should really explore. But just be careful. Follow your doctor’s protocol. And the compound pharmacy that you get it from will also give you the protocol. But don’t think more is better. Correct. Follow the protocol.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes. And we’re actually going to start carrying it where we can actually fill it for folks. Excellent. So that they’re doing it right because there are some places out there. I’ve seen some sketchy things.
SPEAKER 08 :
Anytime there’s something that works, there’s a bunch of bad actors that come in behind.
SPEAKER 04 :
Exactly. So I should be carrying that very soon, and you know that the quality is going to be top notch. I didn’t used to carry a lot of the supplements and things like that because I didn’t want to be looked at as somebody who was – pushing stuff on my patients but now i’ve seen enough of the bad actors out there that i think it’s worth it for me to do that research to find the top-notch stuff and so just like the glp ones right i never cut corners on the semaglutide the terzeptide the retitutide right um all the you call them the toys in my office right the hbot i got the top of the line the red light bit i got the top of the line the spectra 10 It’s a $75,000 bed. It’s not the little panel that they have at Planet Fitness. And you say, ooh, I’m doing red light. No, you’re not.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right, exactly.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
So you mentioned HBOT there. I’ve started it with myself and my son.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, we have to define what HBOT is because a lot of people don’t know what HBOT is.
SPEAKER 08 :
HBOT is hypobaric oxygen therapy. And it’s an oxygen chamber. that basically you’re breathing in pure oxygen for 30, 60, 90 minutes at a time. And they’d been using it for years for burn patients and maybe some brain injury. But now we’re finding, from a biohacker’s perspective, that it has incredible benefits for anti-aging. And we talked about Brian Johnson from Blueprint, the don’t-die guy on Netflix, I call him. He just completed his dive, or series of dives, pun intended, into the h-bot world right and these are called dives because it came out of the scuba diving world right so you’re going and they call them atas atmosphere absolute absolutely so i go the equivalent of down 33 feet underwater in your h-bot for 90 minutes pressure is 2.0 20 minutes of oxygen five minute break and i repeat it And you do 60 sessions over 90 days is kind of the start to clean your body out before you get to maintenance. And the results are phenomenal. We found that it’s wiping out all systemic inflammation of the body below detectable levels. It’s wild. 300% increase in the formation of new blood vessels. Tell me that’s not good for someone that lives at 7,000 feet. Telomeres, we talk about the shoelaces on the end of your DNA chromosomes. It extends those and gives you the telomerase activity of like a 12-year-old if you associate it with biological age. 290% increase in short-chain fatty acids and N-butyrate. which is an important microbiome biomarker in your gut. 29% reduction in dementia markers. Complete elimination of metabolic imbalance in the gut. It adds muscle oxygenation. You know, the muscles we’re talking about, they need oxygen. Dramatic improvements to whole body skin health. Again, the largest organ in the body is your skin. I just thought I was going to help my kid with a couple of hockey concussions and come to find out that… You know, it’s not cheap, but it’s probably the most profound modality that you can go use at your clinic for all the things that we’re talking about here.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. And why wait till you get dementia? Because remember, I started in the first hour, I talked about my sister-in-law. who came out from Massachusetts who had dementia. We put her on the HBOT machine for three weeks. She did two dives a day because you have to have about a four-hour break if you’re going to stack them. You have to have about that four-hour break between dives. And it changed her life, turned her around. But why wait until you have dementia? Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. It’s preventative. Correct. That’s what I’m using it for. I consider myself right now to be pretty healthy. But I’m excited about going through this probably for the rest of my life.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. And you, rightly so, as a parent, you saw your son had some TBIs, right? That stands for traumatic brain injury. He’s a kid. Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep. Playing hockey.
SPEAKER 04 :
Full contact hockey. Lights out two times. So these kids that are playing soccer, these girls, you don’t think, oh, girls, they’re not hitting hard or whatever. That’s soccer ball off their skull, right? Because they’re all heading it, and they want to be the next, I don’t know, what’s a famous female soccer star? Because I don’t watch soccer. It’s boring to me, but…
SPEAKER 08 :
Megan Rapinoe, I think, even though I don’t like her politics.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. Yeah, that one. So, I mean, maybe that’s what her problem is. Maybe she’s had too many TVIs from the soccer ball. We throw her into a hyperbaric chamber and she becomes a conservative.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I think it’s TDS, not TBI.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, that’s right. So that’s just one of the modalities we have in our clinic that most places don’t. I can promise you if you go to your regular doctor and you talk to them about hyperbaric, they’re going to say, hyper what? And say, oh, no, that’s in the scuba diving world or that’s for carbon monoxide poisoning or wounds that don’t heal. But it goes back to exactly what you said, that increase in blood vessels Right? That’s right. With VGAF, if you have new blood vessels, capillaries, more red blood cells, more oxygen, tissues heal. That’s right. So that’s the whole principle behind it and why 20 minutes on with oxygen and five minutes off. There’s something called the hyperoxia-hypoxia paradox. We’re tricking your brain is what we’re doing. Same sort of thing with cryotherapy. In that, we’re tricking your brain and thinking you’re going into hypothermia, and that’s when you get the endorphin dump. The Japanese figured this out in the 1970s. With hyperbaric, they figured out this hyperoxia because you’re breathing 95% to 100% oxygen. Then when you take the mask off in the chamber, you’re still at 21 percent atmospheric air. We’re all breathing 21 percent right now.
SPEAKER 01 :
Right.
SPEAKER 04 :
But your brain is tricked into thinking, oh, my gosh, I’m starving for oxygen here. And then you get this massive healing power from your brain. And that’s how it works.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ve been in it six times, and my resting heart rate is down 12 beats per minute.
SPEAKER 04 :
Isn’t that amazing?
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s mind-blowing.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, the way God made us, it’s absolutely fascinating. So that’s one modality. Let’s also talk about the HOCAT.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. So it’s hyperthermic ozone carbonic acid transdermal therapy, SANA. So I get into this sauna goes up to my neck and it’s similar to a dry sauna as far as like extreme heat, but it infuses, um, carbonic acid and ozone and even some carbon dioxide and different, um, frequency mod, uh, specific frequencies to help with different ailments. Mine’s low back pain and the benefits that I get once a week in this thing that really helped bolster my immune system and detoxify the body. And I’ve also found out that it gives me oxygen while working out because it drives my heart rate up to zone 5, which is about 170 beats per minute. And it gets pretty intense in there, I’m not going to lie. It takes some getting used to. I would definitely work your way up. But it’s like a full-blown VO2 max workout while I’m on oxygen. while detoxifying the body and bolstering my immune system and here we are five weeks later i still haven’t been sick yeah it’s um so i do it once a week and i pair it with ozone water that i drink right afterwards then i get into the cryo chamber to cool my body down and then once i’m cool then i go into the red light bed which helps reduce the inflammation and power the mitochondria yeah and the red light bed is what repairs mitochondria it does a lot of other things
SPEAKER 04 :
So in our office, we have something called the Spectra 10. And why 10? Because it has 10 different wavelengths. So red light, it comes in red and near infrared. A lot of the panels that you see, all of them come out of China, except for The Spectra 10 is made in the United States. Most of those have a quarter watt of bulb, and you’re lucky if you get two or three wavelengths. Ours has 10 wavelengths. I love turning it on for folks who’ve said they’ve done red light before because once they see mine, they’re like, oh, that’s a real red light bed.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. And you got to be careful because you look on the wall and you see all the different wavelengths and you’re like, well, why would I choose, you know, ones that don’t have all the other wavelengths like the wellness one does. And then you dig deeper and you find out that it’s about the power of each of those wavelengths that it gives you. Like for instance, I had some back acne from the testosterone treatments. So I decided to go a week with your blue light acne setting, cleared it right up. So then I went back to the performance and the pain and the wellness. So it’s an amazing tool.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, I’m addicted to the red light bed. It takes 15 minutes, and you’re in and you’re out, but it’s amazing how well you feel, how you recover, your performance is better. I’ll even say this.
SPEAKER 08 :
There was one in the spa in Vegas that was half the price of yours and only had a couple of wavelengths, and I wanted to try it as an add-on to the couple’s massage that the wife and I had, and it cured my hangover from the day before. I didn’t know that red light could do that. I thought it was the IV and the hocket. But just 20 minutes in a bad red light bed changed my day for the better.
SPEAKER 04 :
So if you can only go to Planet Fitness and do their little cheesy one on the wall, then that’s better than nothing. Or I know a lot of people are buying the ones for their face. It’s like a helmet. Again, that’s better than nothing. But if you’re going to spend the money, you might as well get the best of the best. And so that’s part of that HSA program or even your FSA if that’s what you’ve got. And maximizing your dollars to get the best bang for your buck so that’s the best way i could say it um we’re going to talk about peptides so before we go to break let’s hit peptides okay and then we’ll bring it home with what can people do at their price point to maximize their health
SPEAKER 08 :
Definitely. So peptides, it’s really a new way to kind of maximize all these things and add like rocket fuel. Just like the GLP-1, it’s a glucagon-like peptide. There’s a lot of peptides do a lot of things. You can look at your website and see the whole host of them. The ones I use, I use, it’s called BPC-157, which they call the Wolverine peptide. And it actually helps me repair tears, tissues issues, ligaments, tendons. It fixed the torn labrum in my shoulder. And I pair it with TB 500, which enhances the BPC 157. And these are some long technical names. I’m giving you the easy ones to look up. So BPC Billy Paul Charlie 157. And TB, Tom Brady, 500. Those together do amazing things for injury. And then I use PT-141, which is an injection or a nasal spray that I use for sexual health. And I couple it with Tadatafil, which is like a Cialis, and an apomorphine, which talks to the brain with dopamine. And I’m just going to say this, that the results you see with the skinny shot with people that are losing weight is what this pep cat can do for your sex life. You only do it three days a week is what the bottle says. So, you know, use it with moderation. Yeah. but mind-blowing. And then right now I’m on a two-a-year, it’s called epithelon, so 20 days at a time, twice a year, to lengthen the telomeres on these DNA chromosomes, like we talked about that the HBOT also does. So between the hyperbaric oxygen and the epithelon, now I’m going to avoid damage of these chromosomes that can lead to diseases.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 08 :
So those are the peptides that I’m on, in addition to the GLP-1, which I consider also to be a peptide.
SPEAKER 04 :
It is.
SPEAKER 08 :
a little bit different. But there’s a whole lot of other ones that, oh, I’m on a copper one too to help bolster the copper that showed in my biomarkers is a little low. But there’s probably, I probably listed half the ones that you sell. Oh, yeah. Depending on what it is that you’re looking to optimize.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. The latest one is the C-Link. One of our employees, she has bad anxiety and she was on multiple drugs, right? And feeling like a zombie like they all do if you’re on Zoloft or Prozac or Paxil or I don’t know. We have an epidemic of anxiety and depression, but these drugs don’t work well. And so she came to work for us, saw that we had this peptide, came off of those meds, went on the C-link and her anxiety is gone.
SPEAKER 08 :
So that’s amazing.
SPEAKER 04 :
She’s bouncing off the wall. She’s like, oh my gosh, I have my life back. I have my moods back. I feel so great. All these other episodes that are places where she would go that would trigger the anxiety. She’s like, I handle it like a duck going across the water now. So these peptides are absolutely phenomenal. It’s hard for me as a doctor to keep up with them because there’s so many coming out. And so I like to try them on myself so that I can talk intelligently. Now it’s impossible for me to try them all, but just know that ours are the best quality, high standards peptides.
SPEAKER 08 :
There was a third party tested. Great.
SPEAKER 04 :
Correct. That’s exactly right. Because there was probably the top peptide seller in the nation. I won’t name the name of the company. Somebody took and sent it to a third party tester. And it’s only about half of what they claim it is. Of course. So buyer beware. Make sure you know where you’re getting stuff from.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, you can throw peptides online. You have 10 options to buy. Pick none of them. Go to a good source like yours.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s exactly right. So we’re going to take our last break before we bring it home, and we’ll talk to people about their pocketbook and what are the things that they can do to afford it wherever they’re at. So Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John Rush with guest Jeremy Sova. We’ll be right back.

My name is David Gonzales and here at Mile High Coin, we can simplify things and help you better understand what you have. Coin collections can be quite complicated. The coins first have to be identified before they can be valued, and Google only complicates things. Coins have value based on two things. Number one, rarity. A coin is rare based on the combination of date, the mint where the coin was made, and the overall condition of the coin. Coins with lower mintage numbers have higher value. Number two, composition. people often come in with collections that aren’t rare but the collections can still have significant value based on whether or not the coin is made of gold silver or platinum we are a unique coin company we are not a pawn coin shop type we work out of an office and work by appointment call us today to schedule a time to take a look at your valuables we have extensive knowledge in both u.s and foreign coins we can also advise you on your jewelry and watch collections You can reach us at 720-370-3400 or visit our website, milehighcoin.com.

Time to leave your safe space.
SPEAKER 04 :
This is Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. Welcome back, listeners. Final segment of the three hours, Health and Wellness Wednesday on Tuesday before Fourth of July. Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John Rush. And so we promised you that we would give you a breakdown list of the things that you can do Some people cannot afford stem cells. We were talking about that. That is the ultimate. Everybody knows I am the stem cell guy. I love stem cells, especially umbilical cord. You were talking about Joe Rogan and his experience recently.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, he just talked the other day about he went down to, I think, Panama and got stem cells and completely repaired a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder. that multiple doctors told him he needed surgery, there was no other option. And he just, after everything he’s learned, he refused to believe it, so he gave it a shot, thing healed completely in 60 days.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, that’s the power of the stem cell. And for those of you who might have a budget, I’m going to give you a little tip. And I’ve given this in the past, and somebody actually took me up on this, and they are so thankful because… um, the lady, she was going to have, uh, give birth in like four days. She and her husband came to me, his knees are shot and I was able to get them a kit from court for life. They banked their babies and now he’ll have five treatments of five vials, right? Or basically five CCs a piece. When I sell it, you’re getting one vial of one CC and you can do three, you can five, seven, whatever. But, um, If you have somebody who’s about to have a baby, have them call Accord for Life, get a kit, and it costs about $3,000 to bank this thing. Yep. But you’re getting five vials of five cc’s apiece.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m going to take it up a notch. You can take that to American Cell Technology and turn it into 250 million cells, and they take umbilical cord cells too. I have 250 million being grown and banked right now of my own. But volume is the issue, right? You need more of those stem cells. They can take those from that cord and grow them into culture and bank them so you can use them for the rest of your life.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
And so I only use Court for Life. I don’t know about your company. I know Court for Life will. So some people have banked their stem cells from their baby at other places. It’s a racket. They will not release those cells. I have tried and tried and tried pretty much every company out there. So what I have the patients do is transfer. ownership or holding from whatever company to cord for life then core for life will cut off one of the chambers send it to me and then i can give it to you so it’s a workaround and we’ll save you thousands upon thousands of dollars so stem cells are the ultimate you guys know that but what if you don’t have that availability so jeremy in the last oh five minutes that we have Give us, starting from people who are on a limited budget, what can they afford, where should they start, versus somebody like yourself who’s doing fairly well and you can afford pretty much everything that we offer.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, so you’re going to spend more up front. And then once you learn everything, then you can start to whittle things down. But the math that I’ve come up with, basically for $30,000 a year, that’s a lot of money. But for $30,000 a year, it’s kind of what I call the Lamborghini package. You can do all the things that I’m doing. So you get the biomarkers. You get the cancer screening. You get the imaging. You get a gym membership. You get the drugs that you need that insurance isn’t going to cover. You get the supplements that you need. You get the peptides that you need. You get the red light therapy. You get the Hockett therapy. You get the IV hydration. And then you supplement for your own deficiencies. And that’s about $30,000. But if you don’t have the option of doing all of those things, it looks like you can really do the basics for about $7,500 a year, which is about $625 a month. That’s a car payment. It’s the most important car you’re ever going to own.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 08 :
You know, so it starts with your biomarkers, finding out what you’re deficient in, working with somebody like you and saying, Hey, I’m on a budget. My FSA allows me to spend this each year. My HSA allows me to spend this much. I can spend this much out of pocket and come up with a plan. I got a good buddy that I’m doing it for right now. He’s at about 10,000 a year. I think we got it pretty much to that budget and he’s agreed to help me have me help him get there. And he’s kind of my good friend. I’ve already got him from basically his deathbed to now healthy. Now it’s time to get him from healthy to optimized. And he spent $16,000 a year to get healthy. So about $7,500 is the minimum. But the amount of money that you’re throwing into your health care right now that you’re not using and the deductibles and all the general practitioner stuff, uh, care and what, you know, they’re, you’re not getting coverage. So Walgreens is charging 300 bucks for your medications, like half of which you probably don’t even need, but we won’t know until we look at the blood work. Um, so 7,500 to 30 grand, I think anybody can do. Now, Brian Johnson spent in 2 million. He’s the poster child. He’s now he’s my age. He’s 47. His biological age is now 18 and his son is 19. He’s now younger than his son. So that’s what $2 million a year can buy you. I don’t think any of us want to live to $200. But he’s showing us things that we can put into our own lives that is much, much more cost efficient. So set a budget and deploy the right stuff based on what your biomarkers and a doctor like you says makes the most sense for your body and your life.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and that’s the key is to find a doctor who will listen to you and meet you where you’re at because some people don’t even have that much. It’s like, all right, well, what can we start with? Do we need to start with a methylene blue? Do we need to start with a Zeti? Do we need to start with a rapamycin? do, is there something that’s just falling apart? Are you 60 pounds overweight or a hundred pounds overweight? Okay. Let’s get you on a GLP one and drop that weight. So you don’t need all the other things at this point in time.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 04 :
So, um, find a doc who’s willing to work with you, whether it’s a functional medicine or regenerative medicine, an integrative doctor. If you don’t like who you’re with switch, don’t take no for an answer. Um,
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. For instance, I got a buddy that he’s got the biomarkers, but the doc says, well, I’m not going to take those. I got to do my own labs. All right, fine. Let’s do the labs. What’s going to be in the labs. Half the stuff is worthless. Right. So now he’s between a rock and a hard place. And he’s like, can you help me? And I’m like, I think so, but you’re going to have to budget outside of your health insurance to get someone that can write you some scripts, somebody like you. So maybe he only needs, you know, to knock the APOB down or, you know, whatever the need is. But you can have the data, but you need a doctor to write the prescription. If the insurance company’s blocking and tackling, you’ve got to find somebody else to help you.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and whatever you do, don’t go to Mexico. That stuff is not real. I know my sister would love to go there, and she’s like, look at all the penicillin I got and whatever, and says it’s not real stuff. It’s a fake, right? So whatever you do, please don’t do that. And again, the natural killer cells, I have that study going on for people with cancer, solid tumors. If you want more information, reach out to us, 303-663-6990, and I’ll tell you more about it. And I wish you well. Have a happy Fourth of July. Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John Rush.
