By popular request after years of interviewing several different women and getting their perspectives on how to create healthy babies, I decided to create a solo show dedicated to the topic. While I don't talk about iron at all in this show, and several other nutrients and supplements that can support a healthy pregnancy, I highlight vitamin K2 and melatonin. I also talk about vitamin E and why fears about pregnant women supplementing it are unfounded, how I view the four fat soluble vitamins, the benefits of zinc for fetal development, and briefly touch on magnesium and shilajit. If you want to learn the science of why iron deficiency (low serum ferritin) can permanently cause brain damage to your child (I believe i'm in this category), check out episode number 337. I've helped two families here in northern Idaho create several healthy babies by supplementing all of the Mitolife products. The conventional health system combined with influencers with various agendas (usually the whole food supplement types) have really mudied the waters and confused a lot of mothers. In this show I aim to break the spell that many are under regarding fear around various supplements, specifically exogenous supplemental melatonin while a woman is pregnant and the tremendous benefits that it provides.

Strap in your seatbelt and buckle up because this is nearly three hour show is an interview that I did with Vanessa Lopez over on her podcast Intentionally Well. She asked many excellent questions and had me break down the nuts and bolts of my CLF Protocol, which stands for calcification, lipofuscin and fibrosis. I talk about how every DM I get on social media about a rare health condition i've never heard of relates back to one of those three accumulations in the body. I also talked about burnout recovery, my thoughts on peptides, and shared a lot of information that I've never shared before either on interviews or on my solo podcasts.
