Revisit this gem from 2024 to start out the new year with us! In this episode, Dr. Gladden spoke with Jeff Lioon. Jeff was born into the health industry with family ties to Douglas Laboratories, and initially pursued a corporate career. After finding himself unfulfilled, he embarked on a transformative journey, including working with Ayahuasca in the Amazon. Dissatisfied with the corporate world's impact on his well-being, he left his job, explored carnivore diets, and mastered animal processing in Hawaii. Realizing his true calling in health, he returned to Austin to join his father in promoting Oligoscan technology for understanding mineral deficiency root causes. Jeff's journey reflects a shift from corporate life to holistic health pursuit. In this episode, Jeff and Dr. Gladden promote sweating for detox, avoiding processed foods, and recognizing the spiritual dimension in overall health. Tune in as they expand on detoxification pathways, the benefits of sauna usage, the importance of a nutrient-rich diet, and so much more.  Get ready for all new episodes starting next week! -- FOR THE AUDIENCE: ・Get 10% OFF your Zeolite (detox magnet) support with the code ‘OLIGOSCAN10’ at https://www.zeolitelabs.com/?ref=oligoscan  ・Use the code 'Podcast10' to get 10% OFF your order at our supplement store → https://gladdenlongevityshop.com/   -- Takeaways Everything boils down to relationships. Quantum thinking allows for multiple solutions. Detoxing the body can lead to clarity. Urban environments can be toxic to health. Courage is essential for living your best life. Bio magnetism can promote healing. The carnivore diet can improve mental clarity. Oligo scan measures intracellular health. Mercury from amalgam fillings is a significant health risk. Detoxification must be approached carefully. Sauna is crucial for detoxification, especially for aluminum. Aluminum exposure is linked to dementia and other health issues. Antimony from plastics can disrupt hormones and weight loss. Reducing plastic use is essential for lowering antimony levels. Sweating is a key method for excreting toxins from the body. Innovative health tests provide instant feedback on mineral and metal levels. Animal-based nutrition, particularly organ meats, is nutrient-dense. Magnesium deficiency is common due to modern lifestyle factors. Balance in diet is crucial; avoid excessive intake of any one nutrient. Listening to your body is essential for health and wellness.   Dr. Gladden says the conversation with Jeff was a fascinating one.  (00:55) In quantum thinking, all things are possible.
