You've been lied to about UTIs.

Your doctor might’ve blamed hygiene.

But new research just exposed the real culprit…

Your meat.

A groundbreaking four-year study found that nearly 1 in 5 urinary tract infections…

Come from contaminated chicken, turkey, pork, and beef …

Carrying dangerous E. coli bacteria.

Think about that for a second.

You're eating dinner… and days later, you're dealing with a painful infection.

Not because you did anything wrong.

But because the meat industry sold you contaminated food.

And here's the part that really gets me…

This has been going on for years.

Scientists have known about foodborne UTIs for two decades, but nobody talks about it.

Why? Because it's not convenient.

It doesn't fit the narrative.

But the truth is undeniable now.

With 6 to 8 million UTI cases every year in the U.S., and 80% caused by E. coli…

​

We're looking at potentially over a million infections linked directly to what people are eating.

This is exactly why I always encourage people to move towards a plant-based diet.

When you eliminate contaminated animal products from your plate…

You eliminate this HIDDEN source of infection.

And when you detox correctly…

You help your body clear out the accumulated toxins and bacteria that have been building up from years of exposure.

Because here's what MOST people don't realize…

It's not just about treating the infection after it happens.

It's about preventing it by changing what goes into your body in the first place.

Your body deserves better than contaminated meat.

NEW STUDY

Even Tiny Doses of Glyphosate Can Cause Health Problems Across Generations​

Pamela Ferdinand, U.S. Right To Know:
“Even extremely small amounts of the herbicide glyphosate can harm gut health, disrupt metabolism, and change behavior in mice, scientists say. The effects aren’t limited to the exposed animals—they pass on to their children and grandchildren.
The new research, to be published Nov. 1 in Science of the Total Environment, suggests that prenatal exposure to glyphosate disrupts gut bacteria, hormones, and brain signaling in mice. Even at doses far below current safety guidelines, the herbicide is linked to inflammation, metabolic problems involving appetite and blood sugar, and signs of neurological risk.
‘Our findings demonstrate that prenatal glyphosate exposure, at doses consistent with real-world dietary intake, can disrupt multiple physiological systems across generations,’ the researchers say.”
Glyphosate, best known as the active ingredient in Roundup, is the most widely used herbicide in the world

SAVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Plan to Gut the “Toxic Substances Control Act” Puts Public Health at Risk​

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is the only thing standing between us and harmful chemicals found in everyday items like cleaning products, electronics, furniture, construction materials, and plastic products–and the factories where these toxic substances are made.

It’s the Environmental Protection Agency’s job to enforce TSCA, but with the government shutdown, the EPA is at 11 percent capacity, with only 1,734 employees deemed “essential” to protect life, property, or national security at work. If Trump has his way, the 89 percent of EPA employees currently out of work won’t have much reason to come back.

Trump’s EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is gutting the Toxic Substances Control Act, rolling back TSCA’s risk evaluation process for existing chemicals, ignoring the real-life ways people are exposed, and weakening protections that prevent exposure.

Under his proposed rule, the EPA would require far less data from companies about chemicals under review, increasing the chances of chemicals being declared “safe” with inadequate information.

TAKE ACTION BY NOVEMBER 7: Save the Toxic Substances Control

What if a leading Alzheimer's researcher, an MD who spent decades developing drugs, discovered that lifestyle medicine works infinitely better than pharmaceuticals?
That's exactly what happened to Dr. Dale Bredesen.
After training at MIT, Caltech, UC San Francisco, and Duke, Dr. Bredesen spent years searching for the "one drug" that would cure Alzheimer's. Then the science led him to a shocking realization—his integrative physician wife had been right all along.
In this episode, he reveals why the entire medical approach to Alzheimer's is backward, how his patients are achieving sustained cognitive improvements for over a decade, and why he now declares that "Alzheimer's is optional."
This episode was initially released in Sept 2023
In this podcast, Dr. Bredesen and I discuss:

• Why Dr. Bredesen abandoned his quest for Alzheimer's drugs after discovering they make patients worse than no treatment at all
• The scandals behind Alzheimer’s research, backed by billions of dollars in profit (and why justice still hasn't been served)
• How his first patient from 2012 is still cognitively improved after 11+ years—something no drug has ever achieved
• Why amyloid plaques aren't the villain but actually your brain's protective response to infections and toxins
• The "network insufficiency" model that explains why Alzheimer's is really an energy crisis in your brain
• How patients went from cognitive function scores of 0 (end-stage dementia) to 9, and some from 18 to perfect 30s!
• The four stages of cognitive decline and why 100% of people in stage 2 get better with Dr. Bredesen’s protocol
• Why exercise provides the same level of protection as one copy of the APOE4 gene determines risk
• The critical blood tests that reveal Alzheimer's activity decades before symptoms
• How sleep apnea can contribute to Alzheimer’s and the story of how one patient's improvement stalled until this was address.

Women's Heart Risk Is Increasing

By Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roizen, MDs

Actress Elizabeth Banks (who plays Effie Trinket in “The Hunger Games” movies) once appeared in a public service announcement called “A Little Heart Attack,” which was about a working mother of two who is unaware she's experiencing a cardiac event.

Banks' character is so absorbed in multitasking — doing the laundry, taking a work phone call, making lunch for her kids — that she never asks herself what's causing her excessive sweating, nausea, jaw tightening, and breathlessness.

Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This

Her son Googles “women's heart attack symptoms” and eventually she calls 911, saying she's sorry to be a bother, but she thinks she's had “a little heart attack.”

That “forging ahead” approach to heart health isn't uncommon for women. One study found that women wait 37 minutes longer than men to seek treatment for a heart attack.

That's not smart, especially because middle-age women are increasingly hard-hit by heart disease.

According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017 the death rates from heart disease in women ages 45 to 64 increased by 7%, compared with 3% for men.

If you’re not up to speed on women's heart attack symptoms (only about 56% of women know heart disease is their No. 1 killer), they include the traditional ones like chest pressure and chest pain, as well as sore left arm, nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, sweatiness, discomfort in the jaw, neck, and/or shoulders, severe fatigue, bad indigestion, and even a sense of impending doom.

If you think you're having a heart attack, call 911. Don't tough it out. Better safe than sorry.

EATING WITH CONSCIENCE

Make Sure Your Strawberries Are Organic​

It’s the time of year many of us are buying berries, so it’s worth knowing what can come with non-organic strawberries. They consistently top the dirty dozen list for good reason. Of the 72 pesticides with established tolerances for the crop, 65 are linked to chronic health problems including cancer, 29 are acutely toxic to farmworkers, and 28 are toxic to bees, which strawberries depend on for pollination.

Between 1992 and 2010, California alone recorded 237 farmworker poisoning incidents tied to strawberry production, and pesticide illness is widely underreported, so that number is almost certainly low.

There’s no way to know which of those 72 pesticides were used to grow any given container of berries unless you know your farmer personally. Your local farmers market is a good place to start, though it’s worth asking them directly. The USDA organic label isn’t perfect, but you can at least know those 72 pesticides aren’t part of the picture.

Beyond Pesticides has a full breakdown of what’s actually on your strawberries at Eating with Conscience.

SOIL FERTILITY

Healthy Soil, Healthy Brain: What a New Global Study Found​

by Eric W. Dolan, PsyPost – Psychology News:

“A recent study published in Scientific Reports suggests a notable geographical link between global soil fertility and the average intelligence quotient of nations. The findings provide evidence that the nutritional quality of local soils might play an indirect role in shaping human cognitive development on a worldwide scale.

Human brain development relies heavily on adequate nutrition, particularly the intake of essential minerals and vitamins. Plants and animals absorb these nutrients from the earth, meaning human diets are deeply connected to the health of the ground beneath their feet. When soil lacks vital elements like iron, zinc, or iodine, the food grown in it tends to be nutritionally deficient. Deficiencies in these specific nutrients are known to negatively affect cognitive growth, especially in young children.

Zinc and iron are necessary for the central nervous system to build physical structures and produce the chemicals that allow brain cells to communicate. Severe or long-lasting dietary shortages can lead to persistent cognitive impairments and learning difficulties.”

The results should be interpreted as evidence that soil fertility is one potentially important environmental correlate of human intelligence rather than a dominant or exclusive determinant. Read more about this fascinating study.

Antibiotic Recovery: The Case for Eating Real Fermented Foods Rather Than Reaching for a Supplement Has Never Been Stronger​

The advice has been the same for years. Finish your antibiotics, take a probiotic, move on. Doctors say it, pharmacists say it, and it’s practically printed on the packaging. But a closer look at what actually happens inside the gut tells a different story.

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute found that commercially available multi-strain probiotic supplements didn’t help the gut recover after antibiotics so much as get in the way, with probiotic strains taking up space in the disrupted gut lining and crowding out the native bacteria trying to come back.

Fermented foods like kefir, kimchi, and live-culture yogurt work differently, delivering more diverse strains at lower concentrations that are easier for the gut’s own recovery process to work alongside.

The piece from Pinch of Health breaks down which antibiotics cause the most lasting damage, how long real recovery actually takes, and why dietary fiber matters more than most people realize.

Breaking News} When your kidneys don't function well, most primary care physicians fail to understand why "standard" lab testing is a big mistake.

A diagnosis feels like a starting point.
But for most chronic conditions, it is not.
By the time a name gets attached to what is happening, the process behind it has usually been underway for years. The body has been compensating. Adapting. Finding workarounds. Until it can no longer do so quietly.
What we call disease is often the end of a long accumulation, not the beginning of one.
Understanding what accumulated, and how to begin clearing it, is what the Whole Body Detox Summit is built around.​
