With pain, it's a lack of I mean with any disease really, it's a lack of electrons and the goal is to stop the loss of electrons and put the electrons back in. So electrons come with a negative charge, protons come with a positive charge and remember I talked about we want to have a net negative charge.
Speaker 2:Welcome to the Radical Health Rebel podcast. I'm your host, lee Brandom. This work started for me several decades ago when I started to see the impact I could make on people, helping them to identify the root cause of their health problems that no doctor could figure out, including serious back, knee, shoulder and neck injuries, acne and eczema issues, severe gut health problems, even helping couples get pregnant after several IVF treatments had failed, and it really moves me to be able to help people in this way, and that is why I do what I do and why we have this show. In this episode, I'm joined by Jason Yeun and we dive deep into the root causes and solutions for chronic pain.
Speaker 2:Chronic pain is more than just a physical condition. It's a signal that something deeper is at play within the body. Together, jason and I explore heteroplasmy, its causes and mechanisms, as well as the impacts of non-native EMFs on the body. As well as the impacts of non-native EMFs on the body, we also discuss the critical role of circadian nutrition, why a DHEA is an essential nutrient and how pain is fundamentally connected to a loss of electrons in the body. This is a powerful conversation filled with insights to help you better understand the complexities of chronic pain and take steps towards lasting solutions. Jason Yan welcome to the Radical Health Rebel podcast that's coming on the show.
Speaker 1:Thank you very much for having me, Lee. I appreciate being here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's great to have you on. So, jason, to kick things off, could you share a little bit about your own background, including your professional background, and also, in particularly, your own health story as well?
Speaker 1:Sure, so I started off, basically working out became my passion. Sylvester Stallone was the inspiration for me starting to work out. Rocky IV is still my favorite movie of all time, um, so it's still the greatest montage of all time, uh, even 41 years later. Um, but I went into, uh, college, basically not knowing what I wanted to do. Um, but fitness was basically the only thing that really interests me. So I decided to go into exercise science as a major, and, but I actually couldn't get that major because the math and chemistry requirements were too great for me. So I had to drop down to sports and major studies with an emphasis in fitness coaching and recreation, and that, eventually, was what I graduated with. It did take me seven years because I still had to have math and chemistry requirements, which I don't understand because we don't really wanting to own a gym and being a personal trainer, you don't really do anything with chemistry or geometry or whatever. So, but, um, when I got out, I um, well, when I got out, that was when I actually got my first sickness, um, because I got out and I needed to find a job to pay the bills. So I basically got into a collections job, um, and it's basically calling people for further debts, which is very depressing in itself. So I got depression, high anxiety and actually had thoughts of suicide almost weekly. So I went through that.
Speaker 1:Probably three or four years I was going through that and then 2007 is when I decided to open up my own business. I knew I needed to reverse that, so I went through all kinds of different things. I found Lucinda Bassett's Attacking Depression and Anxiety it was actually on tape cassette, that's how old it was, but that helped me get through it and then also reading a bunch of books and basically getting my mindset fixed. So that was the the key. So that's one of the things I talk about all the time is mindset matters. Um, you want to be become the mind tamer of your personal life, and that's basically what I what I did. So I wanted to. So once I fixed my mindset, I basically got over the depression. Then I decided I wanted to open my business. So 2007 is when I opened it. It started off as just basically a fitness boot camp. It was outdoors, so I did that for about three or four months, but in Ohio, where I live in the US, it gets cold here, so I needed to find a new place so we can go in. So eventually I rented out a martial arts studio and then things just started blossoming from there. Things started growing, um, eventually I opened up. I opened up the boot camp to three locations and got an actual permanent location with my first location. Things were going good. I opened up a youth strength and conditioning facility as well.
Speaker 1:Then I started adding on nutrition, teaching people about nutrition and whatnot not, and, um, yeah, because when I first started my business, I didn't talk at all about nutrition because I was still I was still a little on the pudgy side. So back when I was in my depression years and whatnot, I basically followed like the standard american diet, but like bodybuilding standardized. So it's very, very high protein, very, very low fat, um, obviously, um, high carbohydrates as well. Um, but I was a. I was a big boy, I was up to like 222 pounds, but my body fat probably was like 25 25. But if you would ask me back then I probably would have told you I looked like arnold back in his bodybuilding years. Um, just delusional, um, but yeah, so just big, huge ego, um, so I didn't start talking about nutrition in my business and probably until about 2010 I think that's when I read rob wolf's uh, the paleo Solution, or whatever it's called Going on the Paleo Diet. That's when I felt the absolute best I ever felt, but I just continued on the nutrition path.
Speaker 1:Eventually, I found nutritional cleansing and then I added the keto diet in 2014. And then I started teaching people about that, but I continued on that lifestyle. Basically, I was having to wake up at 4.30 Monday, wednesday, friday, occasionally, every single day, going to the gym, doing all that stuff, not getting home until 8 or 9 pm and then having my last meal when I got home. And following that lifestyle obviously is when I got sick for the second time. So it was probably around 2017 2018 I really started feeling it. But it was basically hormone issues that I started having.
Speaker 1:And in your late 30s as a male and somebody who's in the supposed to be in the health and wellness industry, helping people get healthy, that was just completely unacceptable to me. So I knew I needed to start finding different ways or searching different paths, because what I was doing wasn't working. I was hardcore on the workouts, five or six times a week. My nutrition, I thought at the time, was spot on. That was when Dr Jack Cruz was introduced to me for a second time. The first time he was introduced to me was 2013. I read his book, thei paleo solution, but I I followed his stuff for about probably two weeks.
Speaker 1:I wasn't. I wasn't ready for his message back then because I had I had fitness programs to sell you, I had nutrition programs to sell you, I had supplements to sell you um, so I just wasn't, wasn't. So there's that acronym or the, the proper like when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, but in my case, it was reappear. So he reappeared in in 2018 and I was fully ready for his.
Speaker 1:His message of circadian biology, mitochondria, lights, more importantly, food and exercise and whatnot, and basically I followed it and at the beginning I started off doing it wrong, but I felt so much better than I normally did, but eventually I turned around, keyed everything in and then things started turning around and then it was like that became my true purpose in life is teaching people about that, because I've always wanted to help people get healthy uh, ever since I had my depression and getting them out of that but I didn't really know the, the true path. Fitness and nutrition plays part, but it's not as big a part as most people say it is. So um from there, I closed the gym down in 2020. I still train clients out of my home here, but my main passion is basically coaching people in circadian biology and mitochondrial health and hormones and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:Cool. So can you explain what heteroplasmy is and and how that might be related in some way to someone with chronic pain?
Speaker 1:uh, yes, so, uh, heteroplasmy, well, it, probably we should introduce, um, the mitochondria first. Um, yeah, so the mitochondria first. So the mitochondria, basically everybody, everybody. I don't know how it is over there, but everybody here in the States we learn about mitochondria being like the powerhouse of the cell, learn that in like elementary or middle school biology, but that's as far as they really go in teaching you about it. So, but, um, what a lot of people. So most people know that they're.
Speaker 1:We have our nuclear genome, which is our dna, and but a lot of people do not know that we have a second genome and that is our mitochondrial genome. So the nuclear DNA basically has thousands and thousands. I've read numbers anywhere between 19,000 to 25,000 genes in the nuclear DNA, but the mitochondrial DNA only has 37. Only has 37, and 13 of those genes are directly towards making the nucleic acids for the respiratory proteins. So the respiratory proteins sit in the mitochondria and basically what heteroplasmy is? Basically, if those respiratory proteins get stretched out too much, then you are starting to develop symptoms of a disease and eventually, if you let it keep going, you'll get the full-blown disease. And then, if you let it keep going, the disease will get worse and worse and worse and then eventually you'll die worse and then eventually you'll you'll die, um, and depending on what it is, in what area of the body uh that is it will, it will determine how fast you die. So, obviously, if it's your heart or your lungs or your brain or something that's very, very vital, when the heteroplasmic and the respiratory proteins get stretched out and basically you're aging prematurely. So the good thing about it is we can actually stop the progression of the stretching and in some cases we can shrink the progression. So it's said that anywhere between so it's said pretty much every decade, if you're not doing anything particular, um, not living particularly bad or particularly good, it's going to increase about 10 percent every year, every decade, um, but the thing is in today's world, so like when you and I were born, we most kids were born like zero percent heteroplasmy, but today we've got kids being born 10, 20, 30 percent heteroplasmy. So, um, I know there's been studies showing like 54 percent of kids in america have some kind of chronic disease and so, yeah, and then genetic diseases are getting worse and worse and it's because of, I mean everything that's basically going on, but basically the heteroplasmia just keeps rising in parents and those parents have kids that are not so healthy. Yeah, so it's basically you've got. So if you ever have, like, a fruit bowl and you have one bad fruit next to all the good fruits, so that bad fruit is going to push over to the next good fruit, try and turn that bad and then that fruit is going to go on and on. It lets you remove those bad fruits. So it's basically bad mitochondria that's causing the heteroplasmic rate to rise, so to speak. So what we want to do is stop the rise, take out the bad mitochondria. So we do that through.
Speaker 1:Um. There's many processes, so sleep is. Sleep is the most important for it. Um, sleep is everybody. I always say everybody's day starts at midnight and we should be asleep for it. Sleep is everybody's. I always say everybody's day starts at midnight and we should be asleep for it in order to get into the most restful sleep, which is the stage three and stage four. So the deep sleep and the REM sleep. So that's the sleep that kind of recovers us. It causes autophagy in the body, which is basically cellular recycling, and also apoptosis, which is basically taking out the really bad cells. So it's basically taking out the trash. But inside of autophagy and autophagy and apoptosis you also have mitophag, which is mitochondrial recycling and mitochondrial trash taking out. So getting good sleep is vital for that. Fasting is also something that will take out the trash and recycle the trash. Exercise, when done right, will also do that as well.
Speaker 2:But yeah, that's an introductory lesson on heteroplasmy yeah, if I can just paraphrase what you've said, just so that I've understood it correctly. So heteroplasmy is when the respiratory protons in the mitochondria widen Is that the word you use Respiratory proteins when they stretch out? Yes, Stretch, yeah, and that increases the rate of illness.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, it starts to cause bad mitochondria which if you don't fix then that will start the process of disease formation.
Speaker 2:Yes, Okay, gotcha. So do you know what causes the hair trochanter? If you've been struggling with unexplained symptoms or ongoing health issues, you're not alone. Take Trail's story as an example. After 18 months of seeing numerous doctors and specialists, trail was told there was nothing physically wrong with him. His pain was dismissed and he was even told it might be all in his head. But despite all the tests, his health continued to deteriorate and he wasn't getting any answers.
Speaker 2:In desperation, trail found me through the Czech Institute and though he didn't expect much, he decided to give it a try. When we first met, he was seriously unwell, having lost 17 kilos and feeling like a shell of his former self. After running diagnostic tests and addressing food sensitivities, I guided him through changes to his diet and recommended a few necessary supplements. Within just one week, trial started to feel better. As the weeks went on, his health continued to improve and by the second month he knew he was on the road to recovery. Today, trial is back to 100% healthy and free from pain, and he understands how his body needs to function to stay that way. He's learned how modern living can slowly unbalance your health without you even noticing, and he knows how to correct it If you're frustrated with not getting answers from doctors and feel like you're running out of options, I can help. Let's uncover the root causes of your health issues and get you back on track.
Speaker 1:Reach out today at wwwbodycheckcouk and let's start your healing journey together. Yeah, I mean, it's a number of factors. Probably the number one and number two factors for all disease is going to be your artificial light and your artificial frequencies. So we can start anywhere. We can just start with light. So artificial blue light.
Speaker 1:So if you're watching the podcast, you can see that I have blue blockers on. It's probably overkill, because I also have a program on my computer called Iris which basically takes all the blue light on the screen, but the ones I have on are yellow. So there's different types of blue blockers. So there's typically three or there's four types of blue blockers. So there's typically three or there's four types of blue blockers.
Speaker 1:But the the blue blocker you want to stay away from is, I think it's just like snake oil salesman trying to make money. It's just clear blue blockers, um, they're just so there's no tent or anything, so they don't really do anything. It's if they're working. It's if they're working. It's basically a placebo effect. It's not really blocking any, uh, blue light, but, um, so the day blockers, what I have on now. They're either a yellow or a gray shade. Um, they typically um, well, first, first blue light anywhere from 400 to about 485 is going to be your blue spectrum. So the day blockers. They're going to block up to 450 nanometers of blue light. So that is blocking the most dangerous blue light. So typically the most dangerous blue light is anywhere between 420 and 455. Light is anywhere between 420 and 455 um. And then you have the orange blue blockers which will block up to 500 nanometers. So that'll block all the all the blue and some of the green. So some green light will be detrimental to you. Um, and then there's also the red here. So this is typically what I wear at night. So the red will block up to 550 nanometers which will block all the bad blue and green frequencies. So when you the main issue with blue light is we're adapted to blue light, is we're adapted to blue light, but we're adapted to it from the sun, in the sun, blue light when the sun is up, even if it's cloudy or rainy or snowy or foggy, if the sun is up, then blue light is being emitted. From the sun up, then blue light is being emitted from the sun. You're also having red light as well, and then occasionally you'll have the uv, the purple lights, uva, uvb, but that's the kind of blue light that we're adapted to, um, the fake blue light which was um.
Speaker 1:Thomas edison created the light bulb in 1879, but he didn't have a way to get it to everybody, so we had to wait till, uh, I think it was 1895 at the Chicago's World Fair, where, uh, tesla and Westinghouse basically created their power grid and they lit up the Chicago World Fair and from there all the rich people said I want that, I want that. But it wasn't until 1924 that the first city, which was Paris, they lit up their streets with streetlights and the blue light. So it's basically been 100 years and, yeah, we can see the disease epidemic and progression that we've had since then. I think 1900, I think the diagnosis of cancer was like one in 8,000. And today, for men it's one in two, women it's one in three.
Speaker 1:So other things coming into play, but this is the light and artificial stuff. Artificial frequencies is the big things. So when we do get that artificial blue light on, the eye is where it's the most damaging, but it also hurts the skin as well. So there's a thing that we have in our eyes, in our skin, in our bones, in our arterioles. It's called melanopsin, and melanopsin is basically our blue light antenna. So it's a protein that senses blue light. Again, it's supposed to sense from the sun and in the sun it's basically changing every billionth. The frequency is changing every billionth of a second, but when you're under lights that have they have the same color temperature, they don't change at all. Um, so the typical lighting is anywhere between 5500 to 6500 kelvin, which is going to give you like a midday um, like a solar noon type of frequency.
Speaker 1:So when your brain gets hit with that signal every time it's basically telling the brand hey, it's, it's 12 o'clock, it's 1 1, 1 pm and it hit with that at um, at like 8 pm, 9 pm, 10 pm or before the sun rises. It's basically sending the wrong message to your brain and when that happens then things start going haywire. You start getting cortisol issues. Melatonin is one of the big things that gets destroyed with artificial light and melatonin is actually the controller of our mitochondrial genome. So it's very, very, very important. But melanopsin will basically sense that. That's why I always say take sunbreaks throughout the day so your eyes and your skin can basically reset your circadian rhythm every time you go outside. But if you're always under blue light. You're not blocking it. It's basically giving the wrong signal throughout the day, and that's why people need to revert to coffee and pastries and things they shouldn't be eating.
Speaker 2:So yeah, yeah, I guess the other thing there is as well is that when we have long days in terms of our ancestry, if you like, you know before artificial light, if it was a long day, our body would be thinking well, it's summertime, I need to eat fruit to get fat to survive the winter. So if you're creating an artificially long day with artificial lights, your hormonal system, your nervous system, is still thinking well, it's the middle of summer, I need to eat carbohydrates to get fat it does.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, so most people here I mean there as well northern latitude. Right now we're in winter and a lot of people they'll just be indoors all day long and they're under their thermostat whatever they said 60, 68, 72, 75 um. So your mitochondria is basically a, an environmental sensor. It feels that um, but it so it basically thinks that it's in a perpetual spring year round. And then most people don't really.
Speaker 1:I always say you're supposed to eat seasonally, based on what the temperature is and what your local environment is going to provide to you. But a lot of people will skip that. So they'll be inside seeing the snow come down, eating pineapple and blueberries and not realizing that that's not good for you. That's basically loading the body up with deuterium and making them fatter. So one example I always give is like the bear. So the bear typically late fall or early fall, late fall. They're trying to eat as much as they can because the power of the sun is going down, the UV power is going down, but carbohydrates are still available. So that bear is getting fatter and fatter, ready to lie down for the winter, to hibernate, and then so they make themselves like pre-diabetic or almost diabetic and then they lie down to hibernate. They come out in the spring. They're perfectly healthy and they're ready to go for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1:But humans, they tend to just stay indoors. I mean, on my walk this morning I saw one of the neighbors um, instead of taking her mail to the mailbox, she drove her car down to the mailbox, put it in there and then it continued on. It's like that 15 seconds you could have walked out. That would have been beneficial to you, but she's always doing things like that. So yeah, I see it all the time. In the winter I tend to do at least two walks where I'm walking around shirtless and short shorts, just wearing a hat, needle ups and shoes, and I'll see people. Just, somebody took a picture of me the other day.
Speaker 1:So it's, it's crazy, it's a mindset. Cold is um. To some people it can be a four letter letter word, but it's. It's one of the mitochondria's, basically zeitgeibers. So it's an environmental sensor, just like light um. So it wants to feel the temperature, it wants to feel the magnetic field of earth. So the three-legged stool is basically light water magnetism. So if one of the stools falls out, the whole stool falls down and usually the person does as well. Um, but in today's world we can. We can do a lot of bad things and we can stay alive for a long time. But does that really? We're actually living?
Speaker 2:yeah so. So one of the things that causes the heteroplasmy is is the blue light and other potentially damaging lights. Do you know what the mechanism is that causes the damage?
Speaker 1:but it's so. So the color temperature of the typical lights is again, it doesn't change at all. So melanopsin is picking up on that signal and it relays the. So our master circadian clock is called our suprachasmatic nucleus, which sits right behind the retina, is called our supracasmatic nucleus, which sits right behind the retina. So that picks up the light that it's sensing, sends it to the brain and then the brain sends it all over the body. So our circadian rhythm is basically clocks. We're run by clocks, and so the master clock needs to talk to all the other clocks. So it's kind of like the GPS satellite in the sky. It needs to run a little bit faster than your phone, otherwise your phone, when you use directions, it will send you five miles off or 10 miles off in the wrong direction. So instead we have a peripheral circadian clock in front of every gene and some of them say every cell, which we have trillions and trillions of them. So if we're getting the wrong signal, it's sending that to the wrong, to all the rest of the body. Then things are going to start to be off, going to start to be off.
Speaker 1:Um, and one thing we do need to have in abundance and one thing that artificial light absolutely destroys. Besides, melatonin is daj, so the omega-3 fatty acid we have the most daj on a per unit basis in our retina. And that's basically for the, because what dha but does is when the light comes in. Dha takes that light, turns it into a dc electric current. Um, so robert robecker, I think in the 1960, he found that every living thing has a DC electric current during the day. So that's basically like our it's supposed to be our healing power during the day. At night it goes away because we're regenerating it and we've got other programs apoptosis and autophagy to fix the body when we sleep. But yeah, that DC current is huge. So he wrote a great book called the Electric Body. That I think, suggests one of the most important books, I think, of our time.
Speaker 2:It's the body electric, isn't it?
Speaker 1:yeah, body electric, um yeah, so the dha takes that light, turns it into a dc current and then, uh, it basically goes all over the body because we're electromagnetic beings and if that electric current, um, and anytime there's an electric current 90 degrees degrees to it, there's a magnetic current, so the currents go down, then basically our battery is going down.
Speaker 1:So that's basically our, our redox potential of the cell. So we're supposed to have a net negative charge in our cell. But as we get more inflamed, as we, as inflammation grows and as disease progression gets worse and worse, then our negative electric charge basically becomes more towards zero. And then eventually it gets positive, which is not bad, which is bad and then our ability to regenerate, our ability to heal, our ability to make energy just simply vanishes. So everything is kind of like a domino effect. So blue light starts knocking other dominoes down. Artificial frequencies, non-native EMF starts knocking other frequencies down, bad food starts knocking other things down. So it just keeps going and then the pain keeps getting work, unless we actually do something about it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So again, from from what you just said, I'm kind of guessing that the more heteroplasmy you have, the more more likely again, correct me if I'm wrong you're more likely to have less regeneration of tissues. That would be one thing, but you're also more likely to have inflammation in the body and obviously both of those things could potentially be related to pain, particularly chronic pain. Yeah, exactly, gotcha, gotcha be related to pain, particularly chronic pain? Yeah, exactly, gotcha, gotcha. So, in terms of the cause of heteroplasmy, you've mentioned the light. Uh, I think you you were going to mention another thing, am?
Speaker 2:I right, yes, the uh did you know that 92 of people fail to follow through on their new year's resolutions? That's right. Year after year, most of us start strong and then lose momentum by February sound familiar, but what if this year could be different? What if you finally had the tools to make your goals stick? Introducing stickability, a effective and affordable program designed to help you overcome the cycle of failed resolutions.

It's affordable, easy to follow and packed with tools to make 2025 the year that you have the ability, basically non-native emf or electro pollution.
Speaker 1:So basically, think of, well, I mean just electricity, the power grid was basically the first one that we were used to. Yeah, um, and you got your cell phone, you've got the cell towers. You've got the cell towers, you've got wifi. Um, you've got all these smart appliances, smart technology, but it's really, it's really dumb for, for biology, um, cause it saves, saves energy on these on your bill, but in your body, where it matters, it costs you a lot more. So, um, I I have a podcast as well and I have a new series that I started called unknown death causers.
Speaker 1:I've done, I think, five episodes so far. I've done sunglasses, sunscreen, um, phones, wi-fi. I've done two on sunglasses, um, but the my phone episode is the the longest I've I did is it was it's phones and wireless tech. So, like airpods, all that stuff, but basically, yeah, like the worst thing you can do with non-native BMF is put anything on your head. So they say, since the year 2000, when cell phones were introduced, the four top cancers that have been skyrocketing are brain, thyroid, stomach and colorectal, and what those four have in common is basically stupid places people put their phones. I think it was in 1900, colorectal colon cancer was the 37th leading cause of death via cancer and today it's number two and it's expected to go to number one by 2030. It's basically if you put your phone in your pocket down there, it's going to cause issues. I mean, you also have all the other stuff.
Speaker 1:You've got testicular cancer, prostate, uh, uterus and all, yes, breast, yeah.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I mean yeah, putting in, putting it right there on your heart, your chest, not yeah, I see, I see I see women at the gym and they've got them in their bra tops.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know it it's, it's a hard.
Speaker 2:I mean, I love going to the gym and I've got I've got a really great gym near me that I go to, literally just a five minute walk, and I walk in and 80, 90 percent of them are wearing bluetooth headphones and they've got their phone strapped to their body so it's obviously switched on, not in airplane mode, and it just breaks my heart, you know, because I know if I go and say something to them, they're not going to hear what I'm saying anyway. There's no point. And then, you know, like I said, you know you see women putting them in their inside their, them inside their bra or in their back pocket, and it's just so hard to watch. You know, I almost want to get some kind of T-shirt I can wear when I go to the gym to try and warn people. And you know, just seeing people that I don't know they're walking along the street and they're talking on their phone and they've got it next to their head, right next to their ear. You just think just putting it on speakerphone is going to make a difference.
Speaker 1:I always say the phone is the biggest detriment to your health, to your health. So my phone over here I use a. It's an EMF case and on my phone my screen is always red, so take the blue light out. So I've got this case and then I take it and I put it in this Faraday pouch, and then I basically take this Faraday pouch and how I walk around with it is an EMS gang bag.
Speaker 1:So I'm hardcore in regards to blocking that frequency because if it's in my pocket I put it in my front pocket, so it's right next to my bowls all the time. So I want as much protection as possible. Because they say, like they said like a 20 year old today has the same testosterone level that in the 1950s a 70 year old had. So these frequencies, combined with the light, combined with the bad food, combined with what they're spraying in the air and what they want us to inject into our body, I mean it's all playing a part, but we just have to be. We can just do the best that we can. But you need the knowledge to know what they're trying to kill you with so you can fight back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some, some of the situations that almost fill me with dread is, you know, getting into a car full of my family members because they don't understand that. You know, when you're inside a tin box, you know what what that does. When you've all got a mobile phone, like if I'm in my car, my mobile phone's switched off. It's not even switched on. And if I asked one of them, do you mind switching your phone off in the car, they would just think I'm mad.
Speaker 2:But then that's one thing, but then you think, getting on a train or an airplane.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like cigarettes, so I mean, they used to have cigarettes smoking on planes, taxis, all that stuff, trains, trains, yeah. So eventually I think cell phones, well I don't know. It's kind of like they make all the money, so they basically tell industry and tell companies what to do. So, yeah, that's, one of the big problems is that the FCC here I don't know what it is over there, but basically they're saying, like the radiation is from the thermal effects, so they're only thermal effects, but there's the non-thermal effects that are the damaging things that happen to us.
Speaker 1:I mean, you would get I don't know how it is over there, but kids here they're allowed to wear AirPods in class in school. Yeah, wow, yeah, it's a big issue.
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, yeah, I mean wow, yeah, yeah. I mean most, most people don't realize that the safety testing that was done for mobile phones, I believe was done in the 1980s, with the up with the old technology against a six foot two mile mannequin right and you think, well, how is that relevant to today's technology and to a real human being? You know so. So, yes, that's pretty scary.
Speaker 1:The EMF is more damaging to a child because their brain doesn't fully develop until they're fully developed, fully myelinate, until around 25, 28 years old, and a lot of organs are fully developing in their 20s as well, fully developing in their in their 20s as well, um, so that's probably the group that's suffering the most, because here in america, I mean, the average kid gets a cell phone like six or seven years old, um, and so it's like, yeah, it's like late 20s is, um, like mid-20s to late-20s is when people really started to see brain cancers start to grow on those individuals.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, I think it's Australia that are about to ban I can't remember if it's social media or mobile phones for under-16s, and you kind of think, well, that sounds like a good idea, and it does sound like a good idea. But the problem is, what they're saying is they need a digital ID to be able to use. Yeah, right. So then once they roll in a digital ID for teenagers, they're going to say everyone needs a digital id, right? So whilst on the surface it seems like they're doing it for the good of the people, that there's always the ulterior motive and that's a whole.
Speaker 2:That's a whole another podcast episode so you, you mentioned, you mentioned this briefly, but maybe, maybe, you want to go into more detail in terms of why it's so important that we eat seasonally.
Speaker 1:Yes, so seasonal eating. I call it circadian nutrition. You want to eat as seasonally as possible and as local as possible. As seasonally as possible and as local as possible. Um, so here in ohio, basically nothing grows from october to april. So, like, the first thing that grows here in april is asparagus. Um, so when you do, all food that's not not grown in a lab, uh, which you shouldn't be eating Um, all food is grown via photosynthesis, and photosynthesis they I think it was recently discovered like 2012 or something that they've heard there's 37 steps to it, and all of those steps are quantized or driven by light.
Speaker 1:So, basically, when you are eating, you are eating that light. Um, so I haven't talked about electrons or protons yet, but basically, if you think of yourself, if you think of the uh, your health as a pyramid, and at the base level of the pyramid is electrons, protons and photons. So, um, if the base level of your house or the base level of the pyramid collapses, everything falls down. So the the only thing all electrons basically across the universe are the same. The only difference is the light that fills them, so they have a very specific electromagnetic footprint. So, if you get a fruit from Florida or Chile or Argentina, it's going to have a very different footprint than, say, a tomato grown in Ohio or Michigan. So you are eating that light and when you eat that light, that light the light is. Basically it's how we communicate. So we're always. Our body wants to harness UV and IR, infrared light, and it also wants to release that light when it's needed. So basically, our water networks is like the better, the best storage unit for water, because you can get stored and for super long, and then it can be distributed wherever it needs to go on the body.
Speaker 1:But when you eat the food, you're eating that light. So if you're eating, um, say, a banana right now in London or Ohio, it's basically very, very low UV, but the banana came from Argentina, which has like a 10 or 11 UV. That's basically going to release that light and it's basically going to tell your mitochondria hey, this is a summertime fruit, why am I getting this? And it doesn't understand. And so it starts to do things. It creates cell chaos, the communication of the cells starts to break down, it leads to inflammation, which leads to basically everything, all the disease, whatnot. It increases the heteroplasmy, um. So that's one thing that a lot of people will think is insane. Like you tell people a banana isn't healthy, right now, I don't think that's insane, but they, they're. They're so programmed and they the, the corporations have done such a good job marketing and brainwashing us around certain topics that we don't really think about it.
Speaker 1:So right now, um, in the northern latitude, the best diet you can be on is like a keto diet or low carb, high fat, basically because nothing, nothing grows. So, um, yeah, like, the only fruits or the only vegetables that I eat are, um, from now until uh, april will be onions, um mushrooms, which isn't really a vegetable, it's a fungus. And I'll have occasional seaweed and occasional avocado, maybe like one or two avocados a week. Avocados are a little different because there's fat. It's more fat than a banana, which is pure carbohydrates.
Speaker 1:But each person has to take their own context into play. So if you've got certain issues, you've got to follow the rules a little bit more until you're able to fix the problem and then you can go back to the way things were. Or sometimes people have pushed their limits so far that they've reached the point of no return that they can't do that anymore, so to speak. But, yeah, yeah, so, eating as as local as possible. So farmers markets, when they're, when they're're open, um, yeah, uh, growing your own food, it's, it's, it's huge, um, cause most grocery stores they're, they're pretty much shipping everything in, at least fruits and vegetables, at least here, um, but but I'm lucky where I am, because usually there's when it's warmer there's a couple farmers markets that are like open every every day or five a week.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, yeah, it's really interesting what you just said there, because I I get my groceries delivered today every so we're recording this on a Friday, so I get my groceries delivered on a Friday and, apart from meat, the only other thing I had delivered butter, had some liver, some onions and some mushrooms. Yeah, that's a good thing, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, I did actually have some sauerkraut as well. Sauerkraut, okay, as well. Um, so I'm almost there.
Speaker 1:I'm almost there, yeah yeah, the reason I eat onions is um sulfur. It's one of the highest sulfur uh containing. So the sun uh creates the makes sulfate in the body and then that sulfate goes on to make sulfated cholesterol and then from sulfated cholesterol you can make sulfated vitamin D when it is available and out. So that's one of the problems with taking supplemental vitamin D it's not sulfated. It's basically you're getting the chemical signal of vitamin D but you're not getting the frequency that creates it.
Speaker 2:That's another thing that creates cell chaos in the body and creates your heteroplasmy yeah, one thing you mentioned earlier, uh, was dha, that's that's in omega-3 fatty acids. I don't know if you completely kind of covered this, but I know you believe it's the most important nutrient. But why? Why do you suggest that? Um, hey, rebels, did you know I now produce an exclusive no Punches Pulled episode every month.

Speaker 1:Well, like I said, it takes sunlight, turns it into the DC electric current and then, once that current's dying, it can go back to light. But also DHA will. It's an electron catcher, so you need DHA to catch the electrons that come in. So basically, because of its special pi electron cloud. Basically, think of like I don't know if you had them, but we, when I was a kid, there was like in the malls there was like a giant tube and then there was like a little uh hole in the middle and you would put a penny and the penny would just roll around all the way around like 50, 100 times until the penny went down into the tube. So that's how I kind of think of like dha. So dha is this giant sink. Electrons are falling onto this giant vat and they're circling, circling, circlingling until they finally go down into that little hole. And basically what we want the electrons to do is move through the cytochromes in the mitochondria, so there's five of them. They move through those and, depending on the food you eat or where you get the electrons, it will enter the cytochromes into the places. But eventually it wants to reduce down to oxygen and then, once it reduces to oxygen, it creates more electrons and then the process basically just keeps recycling and keeps recycling. But if electron flow stops in you, then you're dead and if it starts slowing down significantly, that's when you're going to start noticing the issues with energy, the issues with sleep, the symptoms of disease, your hydroplasmia is going to rise and all that stuff. And yeah, and that's with DHA.
Speaker 1:Seafood is obviously the best place to get it. With DHA, seafood is obviously the best place to get it. The best. The best food is oyster and then after that it's shellfish. But with fish you want to do like the smaller fish. So there's an acronym called smash, so it's salmon, mackerel, anchoviesies, sardines and herring. So those are the smaller fish, so they don't have as much mercury. So you don't want to eat swordfish or shark or whale or something like that every day.
Speaker 1:But when people do talk about mercury poisoning and whatnot, remember the seafood has the antidote for mercury. So it's got all the uh, the nutrients, in it. So selenium is one of the big uh chelators of mercury. Um, and you've got copper, you've got iodine, which is probably the most important micro nutrient that we need, um the b vitamins, all that stuff. So everybody talks about how grass-fed. Grass-fed meat is so great, but it's it's a dha that we want. So dr cruz always says that, um, bad seafoods, like farm-raised seafood, is actually better than grass-fed meat because of the DHA. But I mean, if you can get the wild-caught DHA or the shellfish, go with that.
Speaker 1:And I know a lot of people have issues with eating sardines or seafood in general because they just don't like the texture. One thing I recommend is a smoothie. So I do a sardines or seafood in general because they just don't like the texture. Um, one thing I recommend is like a smoothie. So I do a sardine smoothie.
Speaker 1:Um, it's not as it's not as gross as most people think it is. So, um, I mean, you don't even, I don't even taste it anymore and you won't taste it if you follow the recipe. So I'm like on my youtube channel I've got like many recipes with the sardine recipe, but you just start with like one sliver or one half of like the sardine. Um, I'm up to like two, two cans of sardines, don't even taste it. So, but yeah, it's. It's vital to the health, vital to catching electrons, vital to turning that light into, um, the dc current. So basically it electrifies our body. So our number one protein in our body is collagen and if that's not electrified it turns into basically gelatin. So that's when you can tear an acl or fall down you, you break a hip and, yeah, you're done so what else is in the smoothie?
Speaker 2:um?
Speaker 1:so I start with, uh, usually two to three ounces of coconut milk. Um, then I'll do, probably, uh, four or five ounces of ice cubes and four or five ounces of water. Then I'll usually do two raw eggs, I'll usually do like a half an ounce of liver, I'll do cocoa powder, I'll do a teaspoon of black seed oil, one scoop of protein powder, chocolate protein powder, two cans of sardines, peanut butter, and then now I do a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a couple drops of stevia, but in in the warmer months I'll do. I just do honey instead of that. And, yeah, just blend that up. It's delicious interesting um.
Speaker 2:So we've gone through quite a bit today. Is there anything else you want to add? Anything else? Maybe specific to someone if they're listening and they're in chronic pain, or maybe even just a summary, you know, if you've got anything to else to add um with with pain?
Speaker 1:um, it's, it's a lack of well, I mean with any, any disease, really it's a lack of, I mean with any disease. Really it's a lack of electrons and the goal is to stop the loss of electrons and put the electrons back in. So electrons come with a negative charge, protons come with a positive charge, and remember I talked about we want to have a net negative charge, and remember I talked about we want to have a net negative charge. So if you start moving more towards the zero charge or a positive charge, you basically have your ratio of protons to electrons is off. So, in order to get that back, keto diet is one of the best things. So seafood has the most electrons and it helps you catch the electrons, and also fat has a lot more electrons than carbohydrates. Carbohydrates can come with more protons than electrons. So that's another reason why seasonal eating should, but also so we're designed to get 60% of our electrons from nature and only 40% from food.
Speaker 1:So one of the best things you can do is grounding or earthing, so basically barefoot. Um, uh, I know if there's still on the ground where in my front yard. I don't know if it's snowing over there, but basically when it does snow. What I do is I take a show, snuggle, I shovel my grass and then I go out. I usually have two socks on. I'll undo my sock, just put it over my toe, because the grounding port that has the most sensors is our heel of our foot. So you want to get the heel of the foot down into the grass, into concrete. The best place to ground would be the beach, where the water is just coming up on the sand.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what do you think of grounding shoes?
Speaker 1:grounding shoes um, I just ordered my first pair. I have not got them yet, um, because I usually I try to sprint, uh, once a week and I usually sprint, sprint barefoot, so, um, and there's also a grounding sock that I asked for christmas, so hopefully I'll get that. So, but because I could feel, I could feel the difference when I'm running in shoes. I can feel with my speed and my gait and it just doesn't feel right. I feel more in my low back, which I know I should not. So that's why I wanted to get these, these things.
Speaker 1:So, but, yeah, there's, just do your research on the grounding shoes and the grounding socks, make sure that you've got reviews and whatnot and they actually work. But, yeah, they, they, they shouldn't be a problem the place, they shouldn't be a problem a bit, the place, they should be a problem. You don't want to be grounding in, like um big city downtown areas, because usually the, the power lines are underneath the city, so they're underneath you and if you're grounding, if you have grounding shoes on it or you're going barefoot, um, you can jump conduct and you can become the, basically the outlet. So, which, which you don't want. Um, yeah, but otherwise grounding is one of the, I think, the top five things that people should be doing, especially if they're in chronic pain.
Speaker 1:Yeah, especially when it's cold. That's another thing we want to. You want to feel the cold, mitochondria wants to feel it, yeah yeah, and things like uh, earthing mats, earthing sheets, things like that with that?
Speaker 1:um, yeah, because I'm grounded here, I'm plugged in here. You just want to make sure with your grounding thing, you want to do it with a rod and a cord. You don't want something that's going to plug into a, to an outlet, um, because you'll have dirty electricity and whatnot. You don't want that. It's non-native EMF, electro pollution. You don't want that in there. But yeah, I've, I sleep with a grounding pillowcase, um, that's connected to a grounding rod. I just put the wire through the window, connect it to the grounding rod and then you're good to go for sleep.
Speaker 2:And if you live on the top floor, like I do.
Speaker 1:If you're on the top floor, you're going to need a big grounding cord.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they make them, yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure my neighbors would be too happy, but um, so I guess, in summary, so we're talking, you know, getting the right kind of light into the body, minimizing the wrong kind of light and the blue lights, etc. Eating seasonally, getting good levels of dha and other fats.
Speaker 1:Anything else I've missed, um just the, the grounding um grounding up yeah, and just mitigation of blue light, mitigation of artificial uh non-needed emf um yeah yeah, but you hit the highlights yeah, cool, awesome.
Speaker 2:So, jason, what's what's next? For what have you got in the pipeline?
Speaker 1:Um, well, I've currently got a pilot group going through my new um program. It's called the circadian badass program, um, so it's basically a 14 day introductory program. So I'm hoping to have that um completed and out for January the new year rush. But that's one thing with the new year rush don't focus on weight, focus on your health. Once you focus on your health, then weight, everything should fall into place.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely, and where can people find you online?
Speaker 1:Best places to follow or find me would just be social media. So, uh, Instagram, Facebook I am sonyunnjason, and then Twitter, YouTube, I am at yunn training and I also have a uh 17 guide, 17 step guidebook, called my mitochondriac guide. So that's improvementwarriorfitnesscom slash mitochondriac, so it's just a mitochondria with a C at the end Gotcha.
Speaker 2:Excellent, jason, thank you so much for your time. It's been definitely a really interesting conversation and it's good to know that I'm I'm doing doing a lot of the right things. I mean, I don't I don't have my blue blockers on right now, which I probably should do, but uh, but other than that, I think you'd uh probably give me I don't know at least a nine, absolutely. I think it's based on what we've discussed today. So, yeah, thanks very much for for sharing your wisdom today.
Speaker 1:I appreciate it.
Speaker 2:Pleasure. So that's all from Jason and me for this week, but don't forget to join me same time, same place next week on the Radical Health Rebel podcast. Thanks for tuning in, Remember to give the show a rating and a review and I'll see you next time.
