Environmental toxins cause epigenetic changes that make fat cells malfunction, leading to obesity that is difficult to reverse through diet alone.

KISMET

The average newborn baby has over 200 toxic chemicals in their placental blood before they take their first breath, and laboratory animals on strictly controlled diets are getting fatter despite no changes to their food intake.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this compelling episode, pulmonologist Dr. Stewart Lonky shares groundbreaking insights about why traditional approaches to weight loss often fail. Drawing from his book "Outsmarting Obesity," he explains how environmental toxins cause fat cells to malfunction, making weight management increasingly difficult. Dr. Lonky reveals that fat cells are actually endocrine organs that become dysfunctional when they grow too large, leading to reduced oxygen absorption and improper hormone signaling. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when he discusses how common household items like non-stick cookware, air fresheners, and even stain-resistant fabrics contribute to obesity through chemicals called obesogens. These substances trigger epigenetic changes that can affect weight regulation for multiple generations. Dr. Lonky offers practical solutions through his AIPE protocol (Accept, Identify, Prevent, Eliminate) and explains how specific compounds like zeolites can help remove toxic substances from the body.

CrowdHealth is revolutionizing healthcare by creating a community-funded alternative to traditional insurance, where members pay cash for medical services at significantly lower rates while maintaining high-quality care.

KISMET

While most would assume large insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare (the 7th largest company by revenue globally) would negotiate the best rates, CrowdHealth members are actually securing medical procedures at about 50% of what insurance companies pay - typically around 130-140% of Medicare rates compared to insurance companies' 250-300%.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this compelling interview, Andy Schoonover, founder of CrowdHealth, explains how his company is disrupting traditional healthcare financing. After a personal experience with insurance denying coverage for his daughter's medical procedure, Schoonover discovered that paying cash for healthcare services often costs significantly less than using insurance. CrowdHealth now serves 10,000 members who fund each other's healthcare needs, having processed 20,000 bills over three years. Members typically pay half what traditional insurance costs, without networks or complex paperwork. The company has successfully handled major medical events, including a $1 million emergency that was negotiated down to $200,000. CrowdHealth is also pioneering a new approach to wellness by offering discounts to metabolically healthy members, creating financial incentives for maintaining good health. The community aspect encourages members to make cost-conscious healthcare decisions, as they're helping fellow members rather than faceless insurance companies.

EPISODE SUMMARY

After a successful career in clinical practice, Dr. Chris Knobbe's personal experience with dietary changes led him to investigate the root causes of AMD, the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 50. His research revealed a startling pattern: age-related chronic disease was extremely rare before the widespread introduction of processed vegetable oils into the food supply. Through analysis of data from 25 nations, he found that as vegetable oil consumption increased, all age-related chronic disease rates rates rose in parallel.

"Between 1851 and about 1930, there were no more than about 50 cases of AMD in all the world's literature. And just to put that in perspective, in 2020, it was estimated there were 196 million cases of AMD."
