absolutely and I always tell people these are interventional things not daily things if you're going to take GRPA every day of the year the receptors are going to burn out and not be as that it's just not going to work as well you need to take breaks from these things no matter what peptide it is be it a neuropeptide a GLP-1 like these are bursts like at most you'd ever do is two months if you got severe like
intestinal inflammation and then you take a break. I usually recommend like for every month on you take at least a week off of the peptides just to make sure super cautiously that you don't end up with receptor downregulation.
Yeah, in naturopathy, healing is a consequence of improving health. It's not like directly going after a disease isn't kind of how we do it. We try and restore all of the systems of the body, all the ones that need it the most. And usually the symptoms tend to resolve or the healing tends to happen.
But you're doing it from the perspective of we're going to improve this person, not treat this illness. so that's why i love naturopathy that's why i'll never ever give up on the tendencies of that and you apply it as best as i can with these products like there's a term that they throw around in naturopathy called school called green allopathy where you basically just become
an alternative to a pharmaceutical by just throwing supplements at people and making sure they take them every day as symptom management. And that's never what I want to do with Level Up. Like every one of the products that I have created with the brand are interventional and are things created to restore homeostasis.
And then once you're there, it's up to you whether you think you need to take it or
not it's not like take it forever and you know jump on our subscription model right that's not how i run the business that's not how naturopathic principles work so giro pair is a perfect example of that any of the other products like tudka for example that's one that we sell that i know you you probably used yourself it's a bile acid it's fantastic if you've got liver issues but if you keep pushing it then you'll end up pushing too much bile and creating problems
NAC can be the same thing. Like every single ingredient has a happy medium, a golden point for how much to use and how long to use it for. And yeah, that's just my philosophy and what I recommend people do.
Yeah, 100%. And as you mentioned, mold in your environment, I had infinite supply. I'm the owner of the brand. I had infinite supply of all the gut healing stuff and naturopath. I had my access to as much of everything that I wanted. None of it made a difference when I had high levels of mycotoxin in my circulation, my gut was still distending. I still had leaky gut. I still had brain fog.
My testosterone crashed, histamine issues, liver enzymes elevated, homocysteine, all of the things that no matter how perfect my diet was, no matter how much I forced exercise because it was going to help It didn't matter until I got out of that environment. And for people, it might be mold.
For other people, it might be you're living too close to some industrial waste plant or something like that. Or you might be in a sick relationship, one that's constantly keeping your cortisol elevated, too close to cell phone towers and huge EMF environments. There's plenty of that in the world at the moment. So those are all of the things that kind of supersede the gut health.
Like we say, gut health is, I think, naturopathically, interventionally, the first part.
that you can give something to help improve but the free stuff is just all the other things like your your sleep cycles your stress management your relationships your purpose all those other things sort of supersede that too because if you're as you knew know from 2021 your gut health was ruined because of the stress that you're under with scrutiny through covid so
Yeah, like a good adrenal support is not something we offer, but supplementally, I think that can indirectly help your gut health and your thyroid health and all of the other systems of the body too.
Sure. So neuro, I developed for two reasons. One, because living in mold gave me horrible brain fog and pretty much all the ingredients, the naturopathic ones at least, that I used while there were my life jackets to make sure my brain actually worked when I had to work and when I had to do podcasts while I still had ridiculously high levels of mycotoxin in my body.
Kind of just like caffeinate yourself and push through, take a little methylene blue and you can make it work.
but um also the other reason is my my oppa being dutch my granddad he died of dementia so it's pretty near and dear to my heart um that condition seeing how horrible it was and how he just wasted away and lost himself my father started to develop memory issues and repeating himself. And I'm like, oh, I need to do something about this as quickly as possible. I'm going to support his brain health.
I'm not going to target dementia. But when you look at all of the things that go into it, they call dementia type 3 diabetes. So you're going to look at metabolic syndrome. You're going to support mitochondria and glucose disposal, healthy insulin levels. So cleaning up his diet and using things like berberine or dihydroberberine.
supporting using anti-inflammatories that can actually get in your brain like PEA is an amazing anti-inflammatory that has an affinity for fatty tissues i.e. your heart so it helps people with heart inflammation which may
may not be pretty prevalent from things that have come out in the past and neuroinflammation which is a big problem at the moment because when gut health is compromised like it is in so many people you don't just have a gut barrier you have a blood brain barrier too which is equally susceptible to zonulin which is one of the primary drivers of hyperpermeability
