Episode Summary:

This FDA cleared medical treatment called Cold Laser Therapy has been a proven non-invasive, natural alternative for pain relief. It is a tool many practitioners use to target healing by directing a low-level light to a particular area of the body that was hurt or is hurting.  When photons enter the tissue and interact with cytochrome C complex within the mitochondria it can create a combination of good organic events to influence the synthesis of new molecules and the breakdown and removal of others.  This process supports an increase of cellular metabolism, a decrease in pain and inflammation, the reduction of muscle spasms, and accelerated healing to the injured area. 

Title: What is Cold Laser Therapy?

Key Takeaways:

• Learn if Cold Laser Therapy can help you. 
• Recognize it is a FDA cleared non-invasive, natural therapy. 
• Find out why it is painless. 
• Listen to learn why Cold Laser Therapy might be a great solution for you. 
• Understand why doctors are comfortable using it for a variety of serious chronic and acute conditions.

Quotes:

“There are so many adverse side effects to opiates that have created an addicted society.  It is sad to be living in a world where painkillers, band-aids, are given to patients who have real pain.

“ . . . this one of the reasons I really love, love to use Cold Laser Therapy, it gets people off medications and diminishes their pain.”

“Fortunately, we have a lot of amazing supplements that can be used it in conjunction with Cold Laser Therapy. My goal is to help each patient find pain relief that works for them and with their body naturally.”

Kenneth Swartz

Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist,” is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Purple Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available.

Ken earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University. He spent the early part of his career as a secondary school teacher, and he continues to be passionate about helping and educating people.

Ken has run several research science laboratories over the course of his career and discovered C60 while developing the MOXY fusion reactor. During his research, he became aware of the powerful free radical neutralizing properties of C60.

He first began using C60 as a radiation protectant while leading a fusion research project. About 8 months after Ken started taking C60, he had a positive experience occur with his health.* But due to FDA regulations, we aren’t able to share that information on this site. However, Ken’s personal experience with C60 was so profound that he decided to dedicate himself to the research, study, and manufacturing of C60 Buckminsterfullerene products.

In 2016, Ken founded C60 Purple Power which offers 99.99% pure sublimated Carbon 60, (never exposed to solvents), delivered in 100% certified organic oils, made in the USA. Ken believes that “your health is your responsibility” and he is on a mission to help people feel empowered to take control of their health.

After taking C60 for about 12 months, she noticed her body’s response to seasonal allergies were less noticeable, as well as her very painful PMS symptoms. She also noticed a dramatic increase in hair and nail growth, and that her mental clarity and focus were substantially sharper.

Inspired by her own health journey with C60, she joined Ken in early 2019 to help accelerate his mission to bring C60 to the world.

Like Ken, she is passionate about helping people and their pets, achieve optimal health, at every age.

Episode Summary:

In this episode you will learn more about C60 and why it is becoming one of the most powerful antioxidants available on the market today!  C60 is an antioxidant that is proving to offer an efficacy that is several hundred times over conventional antioxidants.  Research is revealing it can help maximize the positive desired results for cells in the production of energy, but it may also provide cellular protection against many toxic environmental factors we are exposed to everyday.

Imagine releasing a free radical scavenger into your body that is a natural occurring molecule comprised of 60 carbon atoms that forms something like a hollow soccer ball.  C60 is one of the only molecules known today that has been defined as a single element and can form a spherical cage.  Think of this unique structure like a “free radical sponge” with the ability to neutralize free radicals and reset itself again and again.

Title: What is C60 and why should you take it?

Key Takeaways:

• Find out what a natural free radical scavenger can do for you.
• Learn why C60 is one of the most powerful antioxidants available on the market today!
• Understand the healthy power of neutralizing oxidative radicals.
• Learn why some say C60 more powerful than vitamin C, but should not replace it.

Quotes:

Jessica: What C60 truly is, is it’s a molecule of carbon with 60 tiny atoms in it. What we are finding is it works at the cellular level to lift the oxidative burden in people that are dealing with inflammation.

Kenneth: That’s why C60 is characterized as several 100 times more powerful than conventional antioxidants. Because it has the capacity to reset itself. It doesn’t need any other chemistry to do that because it can do it by itself.

Jessica: I heard a statistic the other day that stated most men before leaving their house are exposed to 300 chemicals a day, and most women are exposed to 500 chemicals today.

Kenneth: We’ve had people that have taken C60 for a long time, and their average telomere length seems to increase. C60 is not making the telomeres inside the cells longer, but rather wipes out the cellular senescence with very short telomeres.

Quotes:

“We have to be great before we can be great in our relationships.”

“Our egos can screw up some of our most beautiful relationships just by those old patterns from way back when. And our need to be right, the need to be seen, and the need to be heard, can have us revert back to infantile ways.”

“Fights are meant to move us forward. Just like exercising muscles, you’ve got to have a breakdown if you’re going to break through.”

Guest Bio: 

With a successful career in the medical field, from the outside, Dr. Kyrin Dunston looked like she had it all. But on the inside, she was dying. Any spare hour she had was spent sleeping. She was tired, overweight, and her hair was falling out. She was depressed, anxious, and lacked self-confidence. She had stomach issues and low libido, and no matter what she did, all her tests came back “normal.” What was going on? Through functional medicine, Dr. Kyrin was able to regain her life back, bit by bit, and now applies the same principles to help her mid-life clients.

Episode Summary:

Dr. Kyrin Dunston couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. She thought feeling this way was “normal.” Even her doctors thought she was just making excuses for being overweight. Turns out, no, she was just doing the wrong tests. If you’re a woman in her late 40s, this episode is for you! You need to go beyond the regular tests to really discover what’s going on underneath the hood. You might find that your hormones are sending a completely wrong message to your body!

• All of Dr. Kyrin’s tests were coming back normal. This didn’t make any sense!
• Kyrin was counting her calories, she was doing everything she was supposed to! Her doctor had enough with her excuses.
• A patient of hers, another woman experiencing the midlife blues, came back a year later a completely different woman. Through her, Dr. Kyrin found out she got her hormones tested.
• Kyrin read the book her patient was reading. At first, she was skeptical and didn’t even want to read it, but when she learned about functional medicine, she had a big aha moment.

Quotes:

“I said I’m not reading this book! I’m a board-certified OB-GYN, what is this author going to teach me? I had this arrogance, what I call contempt, prior to investigation.”

“We all have this ‘truth leader.’ I read this book about functional medicine and I knew it was the truth. How am I an OB-GYN and never even heard about this?”

“Truth is, most doctors in America do the wrong tests and they read them for what’s ‘normal’ which is different from what’s ‘optimal.’”
