A proper morning routine is the launchpad for a productive day, and I had the honor of joining Noah Syndergaard, pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, as he took me through his typical morning routine filled with cold plunges, saunas, and some very unique, keto-friendly foods!
“an entire generation of women was prescribed birth control from the age of 14 for acne and irregular periods and now that same generation is dealing with PCOS, hormonal imbalances, depression, and infertility”
This tweet went viral, and in this podcast episode, we’re going to discuss women’s personal stories with birth control, doctors’ responses to this tweet, as well as some hard facts about BC and the big farma industry.
Study concludes “Vitamin C supplementation effectively increased work motivation and attentional focus and contributed to better performance on cognitive tasks requiring sustained attention”
Key Points
The brain has the highest concentrations of vitamin C than any other tissue in the body, and vitamin C is involved in multiple critical brain functions
Supplementation with vitamin C resulted in significant improvements in attention, work absorption, and shorter reaction times when solving mathematical problems, as well as a distinct improvements in fatigue and work engagement
Supplemental vitamin C intake has also been shown to affect how a person’s vitamin D level responds to vitamin D supplementation, such that those taking 1000 mg/day of vitamin [C] or more had a higher vitamin D level for any given vitamin D intake amount than those taking less supplemental vitamin C
“Hypocrites said 3,000 years ago: ‘let thy food by they medicine, and let they medicine by they food.’ Every physicians’ job should be to put him or herself out of a job by creating wellness for their patient…. That should be the real goal of medicine as a physician. Put yourself out of a job because your patients are well.” – Dr. Ryan Cole, minute-5:55 here
Dr. Campbell: “Why is it [Vitamin D and Covid] not being taken on seriously? … You can understand the pharmaceutical companies not pushing it because vitamin D is dirt cheap, and they can’t make any profit from it. We don’t condone that, but really why governments aren’t taking it up and why international guidelines aren’t changing is really a mystery.”
“VitD deficiency was defined as serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D level < 12 ng/mL…. VitD deficiency was associated with higher risk of IMV/D and death (HR 6.12, 95% CI 2.79–13.42, p < 0.001 and HR 14.73….” (full study)
21:55 “People with the lower levels of vitamin D were 14.73 times more likely to die.”
“Run this kind of number here, 14.7 through the number of deaths in your country, and divide that by 14.73….”
“The low vitamin D levels were a more significant risk factor in this study than sex, age and comorbidity.”
Penny is a school teacher who was diagnosed with severe depression about 25 years ago. She’s been “hospitalized in a mental hospital.” She’s taken anti-depressants, some of which made her depression worse, and made her more suicidal, one of the side effects. So she decided to go the natural route.
She learned how to be functionally depressed, so she wouldn’t end up homeless. “So it was imperative that I got up and showed up every day; even though, it was the last thing I wanted to do. In public, I was functional; in private, I cried rivers of tears.”
She recently watched Dr. John Campbell’s December-2021 video, “Vitamin D in Israel,” after which she started taking 10,000 iu per day consistently.
“It was the only thing that I changed in my life at the height of a pandemic, at the height of me wanting to quit my job…. It was the only thing I changed that could have made that difference in my life. … It’s the vitamin D. I am fine, I am fine. I am not depressed anymore. I can say that. I’ll never stop taking vitamin D.” – Minute-8:20 in the video
2:00:55.8 Craig: I went and met my uncle for the first time. I’d not seen him since I was a young boy. And I said, “You’re married?” “I’ve got a wife, she’s downstairs.” I said, “Go and get her mate, I’d love to meet her.” And he said, “No, I’m sorry she’s got migraines, she gets really bad migraines. She just likes to stay in a dark room.” And I said, “Mate, just get her to take vitamin D.” And he gave me the look my doctor, everyone that I speak to about vitamin D, apart from yourself and a few select people, give me this look of, roll your eyes, you’re a snake oil salesman. But I sent the D3 to their house and a week or so later, I get a call from him and he’s saying, “Craig, what can we give you?” It makes me cry almost every time I tell the story, it’s like, Mate, I don’t want anything from you. It’s just good to know that she’s able to go outside and live a good life, amen to that, you know?
They’re talking about taking vitamin D to solve cluster headaches, but this is a sensible dosage that could be used for Covid, other ills, and best health in general in low sunshine months, or year-round if never getting enough sun. Then, after about 30 days get your levels checked. Optimum for most people is 80-100 ng/ml in the 25-hydroxy D blood test.
“…take a loading dose, a total loading dose of 600,000 IU of vitamin D3, spread over anywhere from five days to 12 days and then I’m gonna drop back to 10,000 IU a day as a maintenance dose.”
Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. It’s made out of water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the safest natural disinfectants around. Your body even makes hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide is very inexpensive. Just be sure to get the hydrogen peroxide that’s 3%.
Benefits of hydrogen peroxide:
1. It can help clean your ears
2. It can help kill nail fungus
3. It can help stop athlete’s foot
4. It can help with a sore throat
5. It can help stop acne
6. It can be used to clean mold and mildew
7. It helps remove stains
8. It helps kill plant fungus
9. It can be used to clean vegetables

When you rapidly heat milk, it denatures the proteins, flattening them so the enzymes can’t do what they’re supposed to do. In other words, it makes the milk protein significantly harder to digest! Look at what happens when milk is ultra-pasteurized at high temperatures versus when it is pasteurized at low temperatures:
I just found this gem from the Alaska Legislature 2015. Rep. Paul Seaton chairs a vitamin D discussion. Natives used to dry Salmon under the sun, greatly increasing vitamin D. Now their vitamin D levels are way down, since most eat a western diet in addition to no longer using this traditional drying technique.
The vitamin D discussion is on overcoming Rickets, which only requires 20 ng/ml blood levels, whereas immune health (as for Covid) requires 50 ng/ml.
56:15 Rep. Paul Seaton, Chair says they lowered the preterm delivery rate to 7% through a vitamin D program called “Protect Our Children Now.”

133:30 Alaska State Rep. Paul Seaton explains how Alaska Natives traditionally dried Salmon, marine and land animal meats in the sun, which greatly increased their vitamin D levels.
TORONTO, Ont (June 21, 2018) – A study of 5,038 women (age 55+) in a pooled cohort of two randomized controlled trials and a prospective cohort has found that women with vitamin D blood levels of ≥150 nmol/L [≥60 ng/ml – ed.], which is over three times the level recommended by Health Canada for bone health (50 nmol/L), have an 80% lower risk of breast cancer. The study was published June 15th in the peer reviewed open access scientific journal PLOS ONE from researchers at the University of California San Diego, Creighton University, Medical University of South Carolina and GrassrootsHealth a U.S based nonprofit. The study concluded “Higher 25(OH)D concentrations were associated with a dose-response decrease in breast cancer risk with concentrations ≥150 nmol/L [≥60 ng/ml – ed.] being most protective.”
