Episode notes
Receipts Deliver High BPA Exposure
- Thermal receipt paper delivers more BPA exposure than plastic bottles because its coating rubs off readily.
- Cashiers get disproportionate exposure; wearing a glove or refusing receipts reduces dose significantly.
Customer Fixed Fatigue With Personalized Diet
- A Mitome customer worsened after regular methylene blue use and was later helped by a carnivore diet tailored to his mitochondrial amino-acid preferences.
- Individual mitochondrial testing revealed he thrived on meat-rich diets instead of drugs.
Use Calcium To Lower Lead Uptake
- Boost dietary calcium to reduce lead absorption and circulating lead.
- Aim for ~1000 mg/day via dairy, bones, or calcium-rich greens to sequester lead in bone and increase urinary excretion.
