I've never heard a podcast on nicotine that I was impressed with because tobacco is usually bashed, or if the podcast is about tobacco it is all about energy and the teacher aspect of the plant. That was the primary inspiration to have this monologue on why I smoke a cigar almost everyday.

I talk about: the antivírál, anti fungal, and neuroprotective effects of cembranoid diterpenes in tobacco and how their mechanism of action differs from nicotine, how tobacco protects us from organophosphates, the controversial research on pregnancy and how smoking tobacco reduces complications, my four top supplements that every smoker should be taking everyday, the multiple ways that melatonin supplementation protects the lungs and vascular system, the cadmium and tobacco connection and which supplement remedies that problem, and much more.

Big tobacco did not sponsor this podcast and I have no affiliate link for cigars, although I share my favorite brands at the end. You are on your own on sourcing them.

The topic of fluoride is a big one so this is just an introductory show about why I personally use it and question the health educators that say nobody should use ever it. Rather than dive into studies in this show, I talk about the advantage of fluorapatite over hydroxyapatite and how utilizing sodium fluoride topically provides all day protection from acid attacks and demineralization of the enamel. I talk about the roles of magnesium and vitamin K2 in regulating oral health, why I chew xylitol gum, my thoughts on Dr Ellie's protocol, and which flosser and toothbrush I use.

In this month's Q&A show, I answer questions in a rapid fire fashion.

Listener questions include: How we keep our animals flea free? What do I recommend for postpartum hair loss? Any updates on my mold situation? Can you take Dissolve It All (Mitolife systemic enzymes) at the same time as other supplements? What are my favorite supplements and practices for liver health? What do I think about peptides? How do you correct a zinc and copper imbalance? What are my biggest regrets in my health journey? Why do I prefer niacinamide over TruNiagen (nicotinamide riboside/NR)? What are the best supplements for a pilot to take?
