Overview
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Minkoff, founder of LifeWorks Wellness Center, one of the largest alternative medical clinics in the United States, and the nutrition company Body Health. Dr. Minkoff’s journey into functional medicine started when his wife became severely ill after improper mercury filling removal, and what he learned trying to help her eventually grew into a practice that now helps hundreds of complex chronic illness patients every year. This conversation is going to open your eyes to just how toxic our modern environment has become, and what you can actually do about it.
You’ll Learn:
- How mercury from dental fillings off-gasses into your body every single time you drink a hot beverage or chew, and where it ends up in your organs
- Why virtually everyone on the planet now has lead, arsenic, cadmium, glyphosate, and Plastics in their body, regardless of how clean they try to eat
- The simple daily habits Dr. Minkoff uses as a foundation for every patient before any supplements or advanced protocols are even considered
- Why protein malnutrition is epidemic even among people who think they are eating enough, and what the real numbers look like for daily intake
- The truth about protein utilization that most dietitians get completely wrong, including why whey protein is only 16% utilized and collagen cannot actually build protein in your body
- How whole eggs, animal proteins, and a specific amino acid formula compare to plant proteins when it comes to what your body can actually use
- Why amino acids are the foundation of every neurotransmitter, detox enzyme, and repair process in your body, and how replenishing them helped one patient get off Adderall and gabapentin in seven weeks
- Why the people around you are just as important to your health as the food you eat, and how to start identifying who in your life may be quietly making you sicker
Clean food, clean water, clean relationships. The basics are not boring. They are the whole thing.
