QUANTUM HEALTH with Andy Robbins

Lactoferrin: an amazing older nutrient with new research

Lactoferrin is a substance found in human breast milk and bovine milk that has some pretty amazing healing qualities.  Most famous for its antibacterial and antiviral activity, newer research has shown benefit in a number of other conditions, including covid.  This 20-minute research review provides a deeper dive into gut health, immunity, and how lactoferrin is a much-overlooked potential hero in those applications.  

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) with Dr. Dan Stock, MD

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a condition with a multiplicity of symptoms that can leave some people almost non-functioning and struggling for answers. Most doctors have never even heard of this syndrome yet, let alone possess the knowledge to address it.  Dr. Dan Stock is one of the most knowledgeable physician in Indiana on CIRS, and in this interview he provides an overview of the causes, symptoms, and ways to manage it.  

Interview with Dr.Daniel Stock, MD, about Covid and Immunity

This detailed discussion with Dr. Daniel Stock, MD, is not the usual commentary on covid and immunity.  Dr. Stock shares his insights on covid, and why the popularly-promoted response has been less than effective and not terribly scientific.  He also shares his vast knowledge with insights about the intricate workings of the immune system and how we can boost our immunity against covid, and any virus for that matter, with simple but high impact bio-therapeutic agents that have been shown to significantly power up the immune system.  A MUST hear!  

The Unique Impact on Immunity of Enhanced Bioavailable Vitamin C

The various soldiers that make up the immune system are critically dependent upon vitamin C.  Humans do not make vitamin C endogenously as most animals do.  Thus, we must ingest it daily in order for our immune systems to function optimally.  While standard ascorbic acid in supplement form certainly has benefits along these lines, an enhanced vitamin C  complex featuring various metabolites, precursors, and ascorbates offers superior immune enhancement compared to standard ascorbic acid.  This has been demonstrated in the research since the 1990s by some of the world's foremost immunologists.  This 15-minute overview of the research provides the high points that demonstrate why this unique combination of vitamin C metabolites and precursors is arguably the best form of vitamin C in the world, providing super-charged power to the immune system.  

WAR ON BUGS: Nature's Antimicrobials and Antivirals

We are living in unprecedented times when the interest for natural immune boosting agents has never been higher.  This episode provides some options to be thinking about for overall immune support plus natural antimicrobial agents.  A brief review of the science and action of each compound is discussed. 

Six Habits that Damage Immunity

In 2019 WebMD published an article entitled, Immune System Boosters and Busters, that I review here.  This session covers lifestyle tips that can keep the immune system strong and help you avoid any bad bugs floating around.  

Mastering Telemedicine

"TeleMedicine" has taken on new interest lately, and for good reason.  This 13-minute episode provides some important considerations for providing excellent patient care remotely and maintaining your supplement sales at the same time.  

Interview with Dr. Scott Bergman, DC, ND

Dr. Scott Bergman discusses unique insights from his seminar, When Inflammation Becomes Chronic: Treating the Underlying Cause.  Especially interesting are Dr. Bergman's discussion points on the messaging process from doctor to patient and maximizing compliance and follow through.  Other great pearls are shared regarding inflammation's role in disrupting the endocrine system, organic acid testing in identifying contributing factors to digestive disturbances, insights on traumatic brain injury, and sports nutrition and injury recovery.  All of these are small tidbits he shared at his 2019 seminars throughout the country.

Magnesium L-Threonate for Memory and Cognitive Support

Magnesium L-Threonate is so good for cognitive support that Dr. Dale Bredesen recommends it in his highly acclaimed book, The End of Alzheimers.  Also great for post concussion protocols and brain injuries, this remarkable substance is discussed here in detail regarding how it works to support cognitive health.

Preventing Brain Shrinkage and Supporting Cognitive Health

Most people begin to experience brain atrophy at about 40 years of age, give or take.  As people age the rate of shrinkage speeds up, increasing the risk to several health issues including but not limited to memory and cognitive issues.  In this episode we discuss a simple option for keeping the gray matter and hippocampus vibrant.  While this episode focuses on cognitive decline with age, remember that the young also need similar support for brain volume development up through 20 years of age or so.
