10:26
How do they, how do they work?
10:29
Yeah.
10:29
Fasting.
10:31
It does.
10:31
It just goes right along with what I've taught for years for a reason, because certain things happen at the cellular level when you fast.
10:39
Fasting is interesting because from a biblical standpoint, every religion in the world disagrees just about on everything, even prayer.
10:48
They agree on one thing, fasting.

11 MINS LATER

21:31
You know, from that point, you know how the fasting healed a peptic ulcer patient scheduled for surgery.
59:57
So thanks for coming on, Daniel.
60:00
On that last topic, we didn't even mention the fact that a lot of these screenings, how damaging they are.
60:07
If we talk about mammograms, right? If we talk about how they damage the skin, all these testings.
60:13
I mean, we can look at colonoscopies.
60:16
There's risks.
60:17
Put in those risks.
60:19
Oh, my.

7 MINS LATER

67:32
And, you know, any any last words that you want to say about it?
17:19
Okay? But it's not really the problem.
17:22
The problem is, is when your cells lose the, or slow down, if it lo- lost the ability to get toxins out of the cell, you would die.
17:30
But it slows down because it gets overwhelmed.
17:33
It's like cellular poop-out, you know? It, meaning so many toxins build up in the cell, and there's reasons why, and the, the ability to get rid of them is getting less and less and less.
17:44
Now, when toxins build up in your cell, bad things happen.
17:48
Your cells become inflamed, and inflammation causes more toxins to build up in your cell.
24:25
Great to have you on again, Dr. Pompa.
24:28
Yeah, thank you.
24:29
Thank you for having me.
24:31
I don't know if any of you are paying attention, but the last few days there's been some social media bits from Bobby, our health secretary, about mold, mold illness, because it affected his family.
24:43
It affected his son.
24:44
And actually, I had the opportunity to even talk to his son.
24:47
And I'd be part of identifying what I thought was a perfect storm.

1 HR 4 MINS LATER

88:27
That at some point through, and note this word please, bureaucracy, the stripping away of anything other than the transactional aspect of our interpersonal relationship, the banality of evil, that you can banalize evil.
9:13
Great to have you back on with us.
9:16
I love being here, and I love this subject because...
9:21
When you know Bobby, which many of us do, you know his heart.
9:24
I want to start with a story.
9:26
I sat across from him at a dinner.
9:29
This was years ago.
9:31
And I was blessed to be really right across from him.
2:39
So how did it start? What was the initial offer or where were you driving people to? Was there a specific illness that you were focused on in the early stages? Yeah, look,
2:50
it's my story.
2:52
I had started with just general fatigue.
2:56
And then it went to just more bizarre things, right? I couldn't sleep.
3:01
All of a sudden couldn't get to sleep or I'd wake up in the middle.
3:03
I couldn't get back to sleep.
3:04
Then it went to weird anxiety, massive brain fog.

1 HR 5 MINS LATER

68:07
And she
11:20
But I know listeners are going to be like, "Wait, how'd he get it out of his brain?"
11:24
Yeah.
11:24
[laughs] Okay, so that's a protocol that I teach.
11:28
You know, and it, it's not one thing, right? So my protocol of upregulating cell function, remember I, I started there, that real detox is a cellular problem, whether it's a brain cell, liver cell, doesn't matter the cell.
11:41
You know, your cells have an ability to get rid of toxins.
11:45
Why? Because when it makes energy in the cell, you have to get rid of those toxins.
11:49
It's like burning wood in a fireplace.

17 MINS LATER

29:10
Because of toxic things in your life.
30:49
Thank you
30:50
always for having me.
30:52
I love this mission.
30:53
I tell you, I'm coming out of my skin.
30:55
First of all, congratulations, Tony, the team, Maha, Bobby, because that article was an absolute sign of victory because we are on the map.
31:06
We are making a difference.
31:07
Look at what's at stake.

6 MINS LATER

36:39
Really just love, love having you a part of this movement.
84:06
So thanks, Dr. Pompa, for coming on again.
84:09
Yeah, we're going to talk about a big one today.
84:11
So if you waited, oh man, it'll be worth it, I promise.
84:15
Tony, sorry I didn't make DC.
84:17
You can hear my throat's still a little scratchy.
84:19
I traveled so much, I put myself under the weather.
84:22
And guess where I'm at? I'm here in Austin, but I want to thank the Austin Regenerative Therapy Clinic here that's giving me some high dose vitamin C and Niagen and this.

8 MINS LATER

92:38
That's the deal.
72:07
So thanks so much for coming on yet again, Dr. Pompa.
72:09
Yeah.
72:10
[clears throat] I'm, uh, coming from you from France, all the way in Cannes, and it's, uh, [laughs] it's late here.
72:16
Thank you.
72:16
It's 11:15, but yeah, no, I, I really, I wanted to be here.
72:20
I-- what an honor it is to be here and just hearing the stories and, um, what a shame of the attack on Spellers, and it, it's just-- But it, it goes, you know, it doesn't surprise me because it's making a difference, and Tony, you've said that.
72:34
You know, what, what contribution could I have here? Uh, look, I was pulled into this two ways in my passion around this topic, and that's why I took the time out, um, to be here tonight or today for you all.
72:47
Uh, number one, I was, uh, neurotoxic myself, and that led to everything that I teach today.
35:51
What are we doing to detox? What is the best detox protocol to get a clean slate and start over on your health journey?
35:57
It's not what people think, right? Oftentimes, right? Because I think in our space, in the health space right now, detox is very, it's very in vogue.
36:06
They walk out with a box of a 10-day cleanse and they do the 10-day cleanse and they think that's going to be detox.
36:14
Look, think about this logically.
36:17
Where did this start? It started from the womb.
36:20
If you look, my issue was my accumulation of mercury, and I was also living in a low-grade moldy home.
36:25
So if I look at all of this, you know, where mine started, my mother had a mouthful of amalgams.
39:44
Do you have like a three, like a simple, like quick hit, like three steps, like to truly detox, you want to do this, this and this.
19:51
Wow.
19:52
But jet fuel has aluminum in it, and, uh, yeah, and it's i- you know, literally getting into our water supply, our food supply.
20:00
P- point is, is that we have a lot of exposures to many different types of toxins that accumulate in the brain.
20:07
Typically, when people don't feel well and can't figure it out, have hormone challenges and can't figure it out, and by the way, the control tower sits in there in the center of your brain.
20:16
It's the hypothalamus pituitary.
20:18
That's what runs your thyroid.
20:20
You know, the hypothalamus takes in all the information from all your hormonal needs and needs in the body, takes it in.

22 MINS LATER

42:35
I believe it.
53:20
And so what is your superhero origin story? Yeah,
53:23
I didn't choose it.
53:24
It chose me.
53:25
Yeah, pain to purpose.
53:27
1999, 2000, 2001, 2, 3, 4, I was very sick.
53:29
Like...
53:34
People looking for an answer, you know because of my degree I was able to read literature It's about all my degree got me as being able to read the scientific literature digging for answers and trying different things didn't work did work Everything I I've been teaching doctors now what I learned for the last 20-some years and that all came out of what I learned to get my own life back and I had major heavy metal issues, a lot of mercury in my brain that I accumulated through my life.

12 MINS LATER

65:47
Now, what about
3:54
Can you explain why that is, and what did we get wrong?
3:56
Yeah, I mean, one of the things people love to do is say, women should never fast, men should fast.
3:59
It's like they categorize.
4:00
No, that's not true.
4:02
Men and women are different, no doubt.
4:04
And when you look at ancestral tribes, women fasted, trust me.
4:08
But They definitely have to do it different than men, right? Their bodies at different times require oftentimes more calories, more protein.
8:28
And
speaker_13HOST
99:48
Very small percentage.
99:48
The rest are epigenetic, meaning you, that gene gets triggered, turned on.
99:53
So when toxins start building up in the cell, that gene gets triggered and turned on, and that's a problem.
99:59
When your methylation decreases because toxins are building up in the cell, that jo- it, its job is to protect that DNA.
100:07
Now it's unprotected.
100:08
You trigger a gene.
100:09
Turned on.

10 MINS LATER

speaker_14HOST
110:01
Yeah.
58:44
Right.
58:45
And okay, so test both levels before you do anything, before you have your coffee, before whatever you do, do it first.
58:52
Now, at 10 o'clock before you're ready to eat, test the levels again.
58:56
What you should see is, and you could do three to five days so you get a good average, you should see glucose trending down from your wake glucose and ketones trending up.
59:07
If you don't see that y- y- despite how you feel, you're not adapting to that level of stress.
59:13
So let's say your first meal is now till 2:00.
59:15
You would test in the morning, then before 2:00.
60:53
Probably why feast-famine works so well too.
