Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:04] So getting straight into brain health. So this is going to be for memory, this is gonna be for brain fog, PTSD, any of that type of stuff. Resetting and healing the brain. There's a dementia, that type stuff. There's very specific steps that you've got to go through to get it back where it needs to be. Which funny is that... A lot of times brain health is one of those things that you don't really notice declining, because it's hard for your brain to keep track of how your brain is doing. By the time you notice you've got bad brain fog, it's it's down the road. So the number one thing that your brain uses is, so again, this goes back to the whole idea that your body doesn't run on calories, it runs on adenosine, triphosphate or ATP. How you make ATP factors into this quite a bit. So the one thing your brain has to have is energy. A lot of times what we end up seeing is as you start tracking through hormonal function, insulin, that type of thing, what you start seeing is the brain becomes insulin resistant. And so what ends up happening is that it's not bringing in the sugars to create the ATP and that type of thing the way it's supposed to. This is why fixing the diabetes or fixing the insulin resistance issues is one of the primary things you want to start to look at and start to do if you're concerned with your health at all, specifically brain health. So primary function is are we getting the ATP generation to the brain the way we need to.
Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:36] So insulin resistance needs to be one of first things you look at. If your doctor's not already pulling fasting insulin, I would not trust them with this. I wouldn't go to an MD for this regardless. They're not educated in how any of this works. So it's a little bit trying to go there and ask them questions about something that one, they've never heard of and two, they'd actually been taught a lot of information that's wrong about this topic. So. We're planning, restoring the issues of insulin resistance is primary. Secondary, you can do this at the same time, is oxygen. You've got to get the oxygen in the brain. One of the major pieces is to sleep study, especially if you've had the COVID vaccine or you've got childhood vaccines. The reason we have SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome, one of the main reasons we have sads. I said an adult death syndrome is the vaccines are damaging the ponds in the brain. You don't breathe very well when you are asleep. And so that is killing you in SIDS and SADs. But in a lot of dementia issues, a lot of long-term brain functional health, you're just not breathing properly. So you have basically you're suffocating half the night. And so, that's one of those big issues that you start to see. So those are two of the primary ones. Once you get those two things knocked out, you've got to kill the parasites. 99.9% of Americans have parasites. It is in all of your food. It is on all of our food. It is the number one thing that you can do to radically increase your health is by killing parasites. Now here's the problem. You have to understand how the parasites got in. Yeah, they're on your food, but typically what we're seeing is you have a low hydrochloric acid function in your stomach, which is your primary defense system. So you have to start monitoring the sympathetic parasympathetic function.
Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:03:22] Your nervous system and bringing up or supplementally adding in hydrochloric acid to keep that all cleared out. The best way to do this, by the way, anti-parasitics, and to clean the liver, which is our next step, is with coffee enemas. The next thing you've got to do, like I said, is clear out the liver. Your liver is the whole purposeful function of cleaning all of blood and wet. Once your blood and lymph are clean, your blood, and the lymph can then go through and clean your brain, your heart, your gut, everything else. And so getting that liver cleaned out is super important for everything we're trying to do. So clean that liver out. While you're cleaning the liver, I would highly recommend that you clean the kidneys. Now, when we talk about detoxing, when we talked about cleaning liver, cleaning kidneys, cleaning heart, whatever, there's only one way to do that. And the way that you do that is you, you feed the system that was designed to do this. This is back to that whole power that made the body heals the body type effect. And the way that you do that is you overfeed the liver. So methylated B vitamins, specifically B6 is a great one. I love to use Tudka. There's a bunch of other stuff that you can use, but coffee enemas are again, the big hit on this one. Like I've seen this, you know, and I recognize that ALT, AST on a blood test isn't always the greatest way to do, to mark everything, because it's just a very small. Piece of the larger liver issue.
Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:04:48] But we've taken ALT-ASCs in the 200s and three weeks later brimed out into the 20s and the 15 to 30s with coffee enemas. It's probably one of the best things you can do for your liver. It is the cheapest, it is the fastest, it's the best, and rarely do you get all three of those together. So pick up your coffee enemus, get those things going, that'd be super, really, really beneficial for the brain. So as your detox organs get fed and they're able to do the job they were designed to do, we start pulling all the waste out of the body. We need to start filling the body back up with nutrients. The most important thing we do is we reset the gut. So, you know, high probiotic, but the biggest thing is that your diet has to change. So here's the thing about the gut that people don't talk that much about. Your gut flora, the bacteria in your gut, now this sounds crazy, I know, but what you feed it matters. So if you feed it good stuff, it will start to regenerate and grow. So here's the thing, there's, let's say there's this is not how it works. But let's just for easy numbers. Let's say there is 10 bacteria in your gut 10 different types of bacteria. Depending on the diet you eat, the food that you comes in is going to feed those those 10 different bacteria differently. And so what ends up happening is depending on the diet you're eating, you're going to have a higher growth function of individual bacteria in your gut. Now, if you can plan this out, you're rebuilding the gut, you're using probiotics, you using things like fermented foods, you're planning out how the diets can come in. You can manipulate this really easily. So, rebuilding the guts can be a big proponent of this.
Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:06:26] Now the, the gut is always directly tied to the brain. People say it all the time that you need to understand your gut in your brain. There's not a whole lot of, you know, I realize one tier and one tier, but they are literally like in our mix with each other. The vast majority of serotonin that your body produces is made in the gut and then shipped up to the brain. There's zero reason to go on SSRIs when your body can just make a lot more. So for instance, an SSRI, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, basically what they do is in your brain, one side shoots out serotonine, the other one accepts it. And then whatever's left over is kind of sucked up in the cleft. Well, SSRI is block that that uptake or that removal of the serotonin, thinking, well, that'll increase the amount of serotonins that's in the cleft. It doesn't actually work. What does work is right at the increasing amount of seratonin that your body has to use. And again, that's the way the body was designed. We go back to original design and things start to work better. So rebuilding the gut is one of the big pieces of this. And that has a lot to do with what you're eating. High processed foods, lots of sugars, the poofas, the seed oil type of stuff, the highly refined. Basically, if man has messed with it, it's gonna be toxic to you. How toxic depends on how much man's messed with, which is why the seed oils are super toxic. So you strip all that trash out, you give the body actual functional nutrition, and it can start rebuilding it.
Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:07:54] Now, once you kind of do this, the other big thing, obviously, is we gotta get our hormones reset. More testosterone in about 95% of it. Testosterone helps the body regenerate and heal and regrow. Growth hormone at this time is a phenomenal thing to add in. I'm a big fan of using simoryl and epimoryl, the peptides that have your body produce more of its own natural growth hormone. Spectacular functional research on this one brings back all of the functional building blocks everything. For the brain, methylated folic acid is hypercritical at this point. So the brain can regenerate and heal your brain and your spinal cord are actually formed from methylated, folic, acid, uh, during embryology. So getting those chemicals back into the brain helps tremendously. Uh, and you know, even if you have NTF HR, if you ask me, these genetic deletions, it's not that big of a deal. Just take the fully methylated B vitamins and you're good. Uh, the superior B we have covers all those bases. So now that you've got all the chemicals coming back in you also want to give your body the fats at height It really requires the fats your brain require our cholesterol Shocking we have this whole industry set to destroy your cholesterol levels And then we have these whole industries up to sell you drugs for dementia interesting Anyway, so you radically increase cholesterol. Butter's a great one for this. Omega-3 fatty acids. The brain complex we have here is what I use the most often. That's your EDTA. I'm sorry, your EPA, DHA. Those are phenomenal for rebuilding the brain. They also help decrease inflammation.
Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:09:32] Again, it's not that things are on fire and we give the body things to put the fire out. That's how we deal with inflammation. Inflammation is where your body's chemistry goes sideways because it doesn't have the needed nutrients to do what it's supposed to do the way it's designed to do it. So you give it the chemicals that was designed to have and all of a sudden the inflammation just goes away because the system is operating properly with its chemistry. So, you reset that. Now the body can properly remove the waste like it was designed. It can properly produce the serotonin like it was design to. It has the testosterone to heal like it was designed to. And then we can go back through as we can start resetting everything the body has back to the way it was designed to function. So when we talk about the power that made the body heals the body, this is what we're talking about. This is the, okay, where did we go off of the obvious path? It's like taking a plant. You look at a plant, it's in a pot. It's not growing real well or starting to wilt. And you go, Oh, did I water it? Is there the right pH in the Is it getting enough sunlight? Those are the things that you start to do with the body. Does it have the chemicals that it was designed to have? Is it getting rid of the chemicals it needs to get rid of? Is it functioning the way it was design?
Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:10:48] If it's not functioning the it was the designed, restore it to natural design, original design, and it will start to get better. This has worked in every single time I've ever used it, any place in the body, you reset that the way it was, again, back to the way it was a designed to function at the very beginning, and it starts working beautifully. So. If you're if you're noticing you those sleep is a giant part of this as well Uh, and we've gotten into sleep a lot, um, but once you do that chemical piece, everything starts to settle out. You can start working on sleep. There's some very specific regimens of sleep things that you do. And once you start getting those things, the last thing that you want to add in is a crop, what we call a cross crawl style, um exercise thing. So like a lot of the exercises that we do that I design out for people are single individual arms, you know, coming up, coming across, you know, even just literally, and I realized how silly this sounds. But if you'll just get on your hands and knees and crawl around and do like dead bugs and like lift the right arm and the left leg like that to the thing phenomenal for regeneration functional brain growth. Single leg squats, vibratory plates, anything that sends information up the neurologic system from your ankles all the way to the brain is extremely powerful for this. Very, very important. This is why chiropractic is so critical for this because chiropractic that removes the interference, the tight muscles, it helps reset neurologic muscle tone, allows this information to what we call a fair information, which is information that goes to the brain to actually get to the and start regenerating, repairing and rebuilding the brain.
Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:12:24] So that's typically a really short path on how we put this all back together. Hopefully in a couple of weeks, we're going to start record, we're gonna start filming on how we do this in a clinical setting with patients who have PTSD. So we'll talk a lot more about that in the next couple of Um, but that's how we do it. That's how reverse dementia, that's how we reverse, uh, PTSD it's how we break down the things that are going sideways in the brain. Um, and then specifically for PTSD and trauma, we get into NLP, that neuro-linguistic programming, resetting the way that we view the world or filters or frames. Um, and then once we kind of understand some conscious function, unconscious mind function. Then we roll into the psychedelics. Typically, we start with ketamine, and then we go to either psilocybin, or depending on how the person is, we can walk up to ayahuasca, which is awesome.
