Summary
In this episode I answer questions that listeners sent in. They include: How did I become so successful? I talk about my journey with building my own business and how I started in my parents garage. Eventually I'll record an entire show telling the whole story in depth but I give the short version in this one. How to restore dental health in a breastfeeding mom? What is my blood clot protocol? What is a portable air filter that I like? What is a Mitolife supplement combo equivalent to a prenatal vitamin? What supplements do you take for ADD/ADHD? Should we take glutathione daily? What are my thoughts on ivermectin and how people say it's contaminated? How would I deal with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)? Share more about grounding sheets and details about them, and more.
Key Points
- Nutritional approaches to ADHD and mast cell activation
- Glutathione's role as the body's master antioxidant
- Practical health optimization strategies discussed
- Evidence and experience-based supplement recommendations
- Holistic approach to understanding chronic health issues
Key Moments
Grounding thins the blood and improves nutrient transport
Matt Blackburn explains that being ungrounded and exposed to EMF causes blood to clump up like ketchup, and that grounding barefoot, with grounding shoes, or a grounding sheet helps thin the blood and improve nutrient uptake and detoxification.
"ungrounded. We're in a lot of EMF, which makes the blood clump up. And things like systemic enzymes, vitamin E, grounding, either for real barefoot on the earth or with grounding shoes or with the grounding sheet. These are all things that can help thin the blood and increase nutrient transport, nutrient uptake into the cell and also detoxification and waste getting out of the system."
15 years of sleeping grounded with a grounding sheet
Blackburn shares his personal experience sleeping grounded since 2010, describing how he had his dad install a grounding rod in the basement and run wire through the ground, and has slept grounded for most of the past 15 years.
"Someone asks about my grounding sheets. More info on them. They are amazing. So, I started grounding while I sleep back in 2010, shortly after I got into raw veganism. I had my dad crawl in the basement of my childhood home and put a grounding rod in the dirt and run the wire up through the ground."
Practical advice on grounding sheets vs overthinking EMF concerns
Blackburn recommends a practical approach to grounding, suggesting people simply try a grounding sheet with a grounding rod and see how they feel, rather than hiring building biologists or getting neurotic about voltage in bedroom wiring.
"is get a grounding sheet, get the grounding rod, try it, and just see how you feel with a sleep tracker or without a sleep tracker. If you don't sleep well, if you sleep worse, ditch the grounding sheet. It's really that simple."
Grounding is a natural blood thinner that prevents red blood cell clumping
Blackburn summarizes that grounding acts as a natural blood thinner by preventing clumping of red blood cells, which improves nutrient delivery and toxin removal throughout the body.
"grounding. It it's a natural blood thinner. It prevents rough or clumping of the red blood cells which can help everyone out because you get more nutrients into the cells and better toxin removal."
Grounding rod to earth vs third prong wall outlet debate
Blackburn addresses the controversy around grounding via the third prong wall outlet versus a dedicated grounding rod, acknowledging the higher risk of stray voltage with wall outlets but still recommending people experiment and see if it improves their sleep.
"Would you still recommend grounding to the third prong on the wall? And this is where it really triggers the hardcore biohackers because there is a higher chance of picking up stray voltage, especially if the house or the apartment or whatever is not wired properly than if you're grounding to the third prong in the wall outlet."
NAC precursor is not enough - take actual glutathione for chronic infections
Blackburn answers whether to take glutathione daily, recommending actual glutathione rather than just the NAC precursor for chronic infections. He suggests a transdermal glutathione product and notes that vitamin C, vitamin E, and sulfur-containing foods all support glutathione levels.
"glutathione daily? So the answer is it depends. If you are dealing with a chronic infection, I think it's a great idea. I don't think that taking an acetylcyine, the precursor is enough. I think taking the actual molecule"
