Kim Ressler searched for answers to her chronic issues for years. Finally, a friend turned her on to the world of nutrigenomics. What if there was a way to genetically determine what kind of supplements would address your methylation pathways, your mental health and your ability to focus? During this year’s Changing Life and Destiny conference in Dallas, Dr. Motley had a chance to sit down with Kim and learn how this works. Key Takeaways: Nutrigenomics bridges the gap between genetics and nutrition, allowing for personalized health strategies. Actionable genes can significantly influence our health and well-being, making genetic testing a vital tool. Customized supplements based on genetic insights can simplify health management and improve outcomes. Understanding our genetic makeup empowers us to make informed decisions about our health. There’s even genetic information to find out how well you deal with hangovers as you get older.  Want more of the Ancient Health Podcast?

If you moved into a house and you’re finding chronic symptoms surfacing - chronic coughing, phlegm and trouble breathing - you could be dealing with sneaky, hidden mold. This episode breaks down what you can do from a holistic health perspective. Doctor Motley’s Recommendations: ------ Testing for mold toxins: Mycotoxin testing, OATS (Organic Acid Test) - https://mosaicdx.com/ Immunolytics - https://immunolytics.com/ As you remove yourself from mold, you want to make sure you’re having proper bowel movements. If you’re struggling in this area, colonics or coffee enemas are good options to explore (if you have leaky-gut type symptoms, take some bone-broth, L-glutamine and butyric acid).  If you’re blocked up, try magnesium oxide, Dr. Scholze’s intestinal formula (https://www.herbdoc.com/intestinal-formula-1). Toxins like mold can weaken our immune systems, leaving us more susceptible to parasites. If this is you, give Kim Rogers’ Parafy kit a whirl.

In this episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Dr. Thomas Levy breaks down for us how oxidative stress—driven by toxins, infections, and nutrient deficiencies—is the real driver of aging and disease. Liposomal vitamin C and glutathione can provide rapid relief, support autoimmune conditions, and restore cellular function by replenishing electrons the body loses to toxins. Dr. Levy also highlights how dental infections, especially root canals, can trigger inflammation throughout the body, making oral health essential for anyone dealing with chronic illness. The conversation covers everything from the role of B vitamins and niacin in energy and mental health to methylene blue, nutrient loss from processed foods, and his “Super 8” supplement protocol designed to fight oxidative stress. Dr. Levy discusses how:  Toxins are the root of oxidation All disease patterns are caused by oxidation Root canals and disease are linked  Liposomal’s advantage over other nutrient delivery forms Dr. Levy’s super 8 supplements for fighting aging and disease:  Vitamin C — central antioxidant, reduces oxidative stress Magnesium — helps lower intracellular calcium (which otherwise increases oxidative stress) Vitamin D — part of his calcium-modulation groupVitamin K — works with D and magnesium to normalize calcium inside cellsNiacin / Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — fuels the electron transport chain by boosting NAD, supporting ATP productionRiboflavin (Vitamin B2) — supports the ETC (flavin coenzymes)Coenzyme Q10 — critical electron carrier in mitochondrial energy productionMethylene Blue — can bypass parts of the electron transport chain to generate ATP efficiently Get 10% off LivOn Labs entire store of liposomal supplements with code MOTLEY at https://www.livonlabs.com/ Want more of the Ancient Health Podcast?
