Meredith Oke:

Doctor Stephen Hussey, welcome back.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Good to be here. Good to be back.

Meredith Oke:

Part 3. Love having you on. Okay, so let's just

Meredith Oke:

start. We, you know, we have a lot of new

Meredith Oke:

listeners to the podcast who are new, not just to

Meredith Oke:

the podcast, but to the idea of, like, what do we

Meredith Oke:

even mean by the words quantum biology,

Meredith Oke:

biophysics, bioelectricity, chronobiology, like,

Meredith Oke:

what are you all, what are you people all talking

Meredith Oke:

about and how is it different from all the other

Meredith Oke:

stuff? So let's just kick off, like if you could

Meredith Oke:

give sort of your, your high level framework, the

Meredith Oke:

paradigm that you operate out of when you think

Meredith Oke:

about humans and health and biology.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. Well, I guess maybe this was intentional,

Meredith Oke:

maybe it wasn't. But there has been, I think,

Meredith Oke:

historically, maybe the last 200 years, I guess,

Meredith Oke:

this push to make humans biochemical, to

Meredith Oke:

understand humans or life in general as

Meredith Oke:

biochemistry. And I guess kind of the focus has

Meredith Oke:

been on that and it's influenced us to ignore all

Meredith Oke:

the other stimuli that happen on this planet,

Meredith Oke:

this universe. Different ways of, I guess

Meredith Oke:

signaling is what you could say, or energy usage

Meredith Oke:

or energy distribution or things like that. So,

Meredith Oke:

so I think that when we talk about medicine, we

Meredith Oke:

talk about biophysics or quantum biology, you

Meredith Oke:

know, we're talking about how humans operate and

Meredith Oke:

how that physiology works in many different ways.

Meredith Oke:

So unfortunately, because of, I think nutrition

Meredith Oke:

science and pharmaceutical science, that things

Meredith Oke:

have come down to bio biochemistry. You know,

Meredith Oke:

every medical student has biochemistry course. We

Meredith Oke:

don't have quite quantum biology courses. And so

Meredith Oke:

I remember you learn in there, you learn like,

Meredith Oke:

okay, these molecules interact with these, and

Meredith Oke:

then this step happens and this step happens and

Meredith Oke:

this step happens and it's like this linear thing

Meredith Oke:

that happens. And so that has led us to thinking

Meredith Oke:

that we can control biology or influence biology

Meredith Oke:

by taking this thing that affects a certain

Meredith Oke:

biochemical pathway. And I'll never forget having

Meredith Oke:

this realization that that was what all of

Meredith Oke:

medicine was about, because I used to work in a

Meredith Oke:

chiropractic clinic that was more or less down

Meredith Oke:

the street from Virginia Tech School of Medicine

Meredith Oke:

and Research Institute. And I would have all

Meredith Oke:

these researchers come in or medical students,

Meredith Oke:

and I'd say, what are you looking at? And they

Meredith Oke:

describe some, you know, very small biochemical

Meredith Oke:

pathway that they're investigating. And I was

Meredith Oke:

just like, oh. And it was like that. And they

Meredith Oke:

were like, I'm trying to, you know, manipulate

Meredith Oke:

this pathway so that we can make a

Meredith Oke:

pharmaceutical. And I'm just like, man, what a

Meredith Oke:

reductionist way to try and understand something

Meredith Oke:

or try and affect the body, you know, and so

Meredith Oke:

we've kind of been.

Meredith Oke:

So is it almost like that pathway was operating

Meredith Oke:

in isolation? Like, I'm just going to manipulate

Meredith Oke:

this one tiny little thing that's. But there was.

Meredith Oke:

Without acknowledging that it may be interrelated

Meredith Oke:

with everything else.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Exactly. And I like to think, yeah, and so that's

Meredith Oke:

just kind of like reductionist. And it's like how

Meredith Oke:

you're supposed to understand how something fully

Meredith Oke:

works by studying one very small piece, let alone

Meredith Oke:

one organ system or whatever. Like, because, you

Meredith Oke:

know, medicine has all these specialists and

Meredith Oke:

everything. So it's just. I was starting to think

Meredith Oke:

about that because it was repetitive. Every

Meredith Oke:

single one. I'd ask, they'd say, I'm studying

Meredith Oke:

this particular thing. And I like to talk about

Meredith Oke:

what I called. It's almost like an inform, a form

Meredith Oke:

of inherited wealth. Like, you don't like, you

Meredith Oke:

know, the. Like the scientists that are like the

Meredith Oke:

heroes of history or whatever, that discover all

Meredith Oke:

these things and these new techniques of studying

Meredith Oke:

things. You know, the scientists of today are

Meredith Oke:

just learning to stand on their shoulders and

Meredith Oke:

take the next step. But there was no humility

Meredith Oke:

gained in the process of learning that original

Meredith Oke:

information. And so the scientists today just

Meredith Oke:

take the next step. And they don't think about

Meredith Oke:

the context of what that means for either the

Meredith Oke:

entire organism they're studying or the universe

Meredith Oke:

itself or all life on the planet. They're just

Meredith Oke:

looking at it in these very simple ways because

Meredith Oke:

we've got this technology to do that. And

Meredith Oke:

research is largely funded by people with

Meredith Oke:

interests that want to identify this pathway that

Meredith Oke:

you can do something. So we're stuck in this

Meredith Oke:

biochemical world. And then when I started

Meredith Oke:

reading more and getting steered in the right

Meredith Oke:

direction, you start reading all these other ways

Meredith Oke:

that the body physiology operates or all the

Meredith Oke:

different signals that they can get. And so now

Meredith Oke:

we're talking about magnetism, we're talking

Meredith Oke:

about electricity, we're talking about light,

Meredith Oke:

we're talking about just different forms of

Meredith Oke:

energy, vibrations, sound, all these different

Meredith Oke:

things. And you start to realize that all of them

Meredith Oke:

influence our physiology. And so we can't just

Meredith Oke:

say, take a supplement or take a medication or

Meredith Oke:

just eat food, really, and expect that

Meredith Oke:

biochemistry to dictate how our entire physiology

Meredith Oke:

is working. And so you look at deeper levels of

Meredith Oke:

things and you start to see that, oh, the

Meredith Oke:

mitochondria are emitting light, they're emitting

Meredith Oke:

different forms of energy, and they communicate

Meredith Oke:

cell to cell, like. And they create

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field, and then a bunch of

Meredith Oke:

mitochondria create a bigger electromagnetic

Meredith Oke:

field, and then a bunch of mitochondria in a

Meredith Oke:

tissue create a bigger one. And that's why we

Meredith Oke:

have electromagnetic fields in the body. And

Meredith Oke:

that's my. It's almost like how I'm reaching out

Meredith Oke:

into my environment and communicating with it.

Meredith Oke:

And then you see all the effects of just sunlight

Meredith Oke:

on the skin or in the eyes and all the physiology

Meredith Oke:

that that drives. And. And you're like, wow, this

Meredith Oke:

is way more than just food. And it explains why

Meredith Oke:

you know, people. The idea about health is like,

Meredith Oke:

okay, diet and exercise, that's what keeps you

Meredith Oke:

healthy. And the statistics show that more people

Meredith Oke:

are exercising more and eating more whole foods

Meredith Oke:

or better diets. Despite what, you know, this

Meredith Oke:

epidemic of heart disease, people. More people

Meredith Oke:

are trying to do that, but it's not working

Meredith Oke:

right. We still have this epidemic disease

Meredith Oke:

because we're ignoring all this physiology. And

Meredith Oke:

the other aspect is, is that there's an. There's

Meredith Oke:

a certain part of this that I. Or there's a

Meredith Oke:

certain level of this I don't think we'll ever

Meredith Oke:

fully understand. And I think that makes us. Or

Meredith Oke:

it forces us to be humble about this. And instead

Meredith Oke:

of trying to master the human body and study it

Meredith Oke:

and change it, you know, manipulate it, that kind

Meredith Oke:

of thing, with this biochemistry, we kind of have

Meredith Oke:

to step back and be like, whoa. We just have to

Meredith Oke:

put ourselves in the right environment and let

Meredith Oke:

the body figure it out. Because, you know, in

Meredith Oke:

mathematics, if you study the way two things

Meredith Oke:

interact with each other, you can predict the way

Meredith Oke:

those two things are going to interact. But if

Meredith Oke:

you get a third thing, it becomes harder. If you

Meredith Oke:

get a fourth thing and how four things are

Meredith Oke:

interacting, that becomes harder. You get 100

Meredith Oke:

things, it becomes impossible. And then that's

Meredith Oke:

exactly how the body works. There's no lock and

Meredith Oke:

key mechanism that this happens and this happens

Meredith Oke:

and this happens and this happens. It's like

Meredith Oke:

something happens and then a hundred other things

Meredith Oke:

happen at the same time. So they call it

Meredith Oke:

nonlinear reactions. And that's going to be

Meredith Oke:

impossible to predict or control. So it forces

Meredith Oke:

you. When you study quantum biology or

Meredith Oke:

biophysics, it forces you to say, okay, I need to

Meredith Oke:

put my body in the right environment of those

Meredith Oke:

physics and the right stimuli, and then trust

Meredith Oke:

that the body is going to do the right thing. We

Meredith Oke:

just have to figure out what that environment is

Meredith Oke:

and study how the environments have changed and

Meredith Oke:

made it the wrong environment over the last

Meredith Oke:

however many years. You want to say.

Meredith Oke:

Right. So when we think about the idea of, oh,

Meredith Oke:

just take this pill, There may be situations

Meredith Oke:

where taking medication is obviously needed or

Meredith Oke:

helpful, but the idea that you can take an

Meredith Oke:

exogenous substance and put it into the body

Meredith Oke:

without thinking about the environment that that

Meredith Oke:

body is in. And the only response you're going to

Meredith Oke:

have is the one that you want. Seems kind of

Meredith Oke:

crazy.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. Or that there's not going to be side

Meredith Oke:

effects or it's not going to affect other

Meredith Oke:

physiology that you weren't even expecting. I

Meredith Oke:

mean, in pharmaceutical science, they admit that

Meredith Oke:

they're like, well, we were studying, trying to

Meredith Oke:

make this effect and we saw the drug had this

Meredith Oke:

effect, so we just use it for this instead.

Meredith Oke:

Right.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: You know, they weren't, they don't know. Like

Meredith Oke:

there's, there's all these unaccounted for

Meredith Oke:

things. The things we can never, never really

Meredith Oke:

figure out.

Meredith Oke:

Right. And the one that's coming to my mind,

Meredith Oke:

because there's a lot of discussion on this topic

Meredith Oke:

right now on social media is our SSRIs or

Meredith Oke:

prescription medication for mental health. Right.

Meredith Oke:

And you have people on there swearing that it

Meredith Oke:

changed their lives. And then you have people on

Meredith Oke:

there saying that it made them suicidal and it's

Meredith Oke:

the same. Right. Like they took the same thing.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

So, you know, how can you predict what the

Meredith Oke:

outcome is going to be if. And it. Part of. I

Meredith Oke:

guess what we're missing is like, what else is

Meredith Oke:

going on for those people? It's not, they're not,

Meredith Oke:

you know, in terms of what could affect the

Meredith Oke:

consequence that that drug is going to have in

Meredith Oke:

their body.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. Or even supplement. You know, I just

Meredith Oke:

recently posted something about melatonin on

Meredith Oke:

social media showing that it can stabilize plaque

Meredith Oke:

and prevent plaque from rupturing. And somebody

Meredith Oke:

on there was just like, well, we have to

Meredith Oke:

supplement with it. Like, even though I was

Meredith Oke:

saying, like, no, we need to, like, optimize

Meredith Oke:

mitochondrial function and we need to set

Meredith Oke:

circadian rhythm. That's how we get optimal

Meredith Oke:

melatonin. And they were like, well, as we age,

Meredith Oke:

your melatonin production declines. And I was

Meredith Oke:

just questioning them. Like, well, you know,

Meredith Oke:

that's probably true, but it's probably going to

Meredith Oke:

decline a lot more if we're in this environment

Meredith Oke:

that is not suitable or not hospitable to our

Meredith Oke:

physiology. So we have to change the environment

Meredith Oke:

too. We can't just take this thing and say, oh,

Meredith Oke:

because I need more of it because it's declining

Meredith Oke:

as I age. It's like, we also need to optimize the

Meredith Oke:

environment. And so it's like, if we're, if

Meredith Oke:

we're, if the message is, oh, just take more of

Meredith Oke:

this, that's the wrong message. Like, you can use

Meredith Oke:

supplements to Supplement your lifestyle. But you

Meredith Oke:

have to tell the person about how to optimize the

Meredith Oke:

lifestyle too, because I mean, there's pretty

Meredith Oke:

clear in the research that, you know, melatonin

Meredith Oke:

acts like as an antioxidant, but endogenous

Meredith Oke:

melatonin production is way better than

Meredith Oke:

exogenous, meaning taking it as a supplement. So

Meredith Oke:

as far as antioxidant, so that who knows what

Meredith Oke:

else that's better as better at when we put

Meredith Oke:

produce it inside our bodies and get ourselves in

Meredith Oke:

the right environment. Plus the process of

Meredith Oke:

creating that environment for just optimizing

Meredith Oke:

melatonin is doing so many other beneficial

Meredith Oke:

things for you. So it's not reductionist now. Now

Meredith Oke:

we're getting all the benefits rather than just

Meredith Oke:

saying, oh, I'm doing this for this one thing.

Meredith Oke:

No, you're doing it for everything, for every

Meredith Oke:

single hormone. And that's kind of the message we

Meredith Oke:

need to be giving people. And then here and

Meredith Oke:

there, yes, we can selectively say, okay, let's

Meredith Oke:

support you with this supplement or that

Meredith Oke:

supplement, but if you don't get the environment

Meredith Oke:

right, those things aren't going to work as well

Meredith Oke:

anyways.

Meredith Oke:

Right. And then the, like the cascade effect of

Meredith Oke:

optimizing your environment is a beneficial

Meredith Oke:

cascade as opposed to a cascade of side effects.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. Or unpredictable things.

Meredith Oke:

Okay, so let's get into the heart, which is an

Meredith Oke:

area of focus for you. You've written a book on

Meredith Oke:

it and we talked about it a little bit in our

Meredith Oke:

first interview. So let's circle back to what

Meredith Oke:

your, you know, your take on the heart is in

Meredith Oke:

terms of it. Our common understanding is that

Meredith Oke:

it's a pump. You have a different point of view

Meredith Oke:

and then you've also gone down even into like

Meredith Oke:

some deeper layers of how you see the heart in

Meredith Oke:

terms of our overall biology and perhaps biofield.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, definitely. So, yeah, I mean, the term like

Meredith Oke:

the heart is not a pump is thrown around a lot

Meredith Oke:

these days, made pretty famous by Tom Cowan. And

Meredith Oke:

I don't necessarily agree that it's not a pump

Meredith Oke:

per se, but it's definitely not a pressure

Meredith Oke:

propulsion pump, which is what it's thought that

Meredith Oke:

it is. Like it's sucking in blood from somewhere

Meredith Oke:

and then forcefully pumping out somewhere else.

Meredith Oke:

That's not how the heart works. And there's a ton

Meredith Oke:

of literature mainly. I mean, the best source for

Meredith Oke:

most of that literature is Dr. Franco first book,

Meredith Oke:

the Heart in Circulation. But yeah, so it's first

Meredith Oke:

of all, if you just look at the heart and the

Meredith Oke:

size of it, and there were studies way back in

Meredith Oke:

the 17, 1800s that were when the original

Meredith Oke:

circulation of the heart was being described or

Meredith Oke:

circulation of blood was being described, that

Meredith Oke:

cast a doubt on the idea that the heart of this

Meredith Oke:

size could forcefully pump all the blood around

Meredith Oke:

the body and, and do that efficiently. And

Meredith Oke:

there's modern day studies that show that if we

Meredith Oke:

look at the heart as a pressure propulsion pump,

Meredith Oke:

it's about 30% efficient, which if you believe we

Meredith Oke:

were designed or evolved or whatever, that's not

Meredith Oke:

an efficient way to do something. So it must not

Meredith Oke:

be its job or suggest that maybe it's not. Its

Meredith Oke:

job is to forcefully move blood. And so there's

Meredith Oke:

evidence with structured water and how blood

Meredith Oke:

moves in other ways. Paramagnetism, electrostatic

Meredith Oke:

properties, there's ways that blood moves through

Meredith Oke:

the body that they don't require this pressure

Meredith Oke:

propulsion pump. And they've actually shown in

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Pollock's lab that when they stop the heart

Meredith Oke:

of a chick embryo, the blood continues to move.

Meredith Oke:

And they can create more movement in blood if

Meredith Oke:

they shine infrared light on the arteries. And

Meredith Oke:

they showed that too. Back in the 1940s and the

Meredith Oke:

1960s, there were experiments done on dogs where

Meredith Oke:

they stopped the heart and the blood continued to

Meredith Oke:

move for up to two hours after the heart stopped

Meredith Oke:

beating. So there's definitely a lot of evidence

Meredith Oke:

to suggest that blood has other ways to move. And

Meredith Oke:

so that begs the question of what is the heart,

Meredith Oke:

why is it there, what is it doing? And the first

Meredith Oke:

thing that it's doing is that it's actually a

Meredith Oke:

vortex. I just read an 800 page book about the

Meredith Oke:

heart's vortex and it was hard to get through

Meredith Oke:

because it was very, very scientific, even lots

Meredith Oke:

of parts above my head. But yeah, it's definitely

Meredith Oke:

well recognized in the literature that as blood

Meredith Oke:

moves through the heart, it is vortexed in many

Meredith Oke:

different ways. Whether it's moving through

Meredith Oke:

valves, the way that flows into the heart, the

Meredith Oke:

way the heart contracts in a spiral, like nature,

Meredith Oke:

like the heart is vortexing blood. And the reason

Meredith Oke:

it's doing that is because of new vortex water,

Meredith Oke:

which the blood is half water in the presence of

Meredith Oke:

oxygen, which oxygen is always present in blood,

Meredith Oke:

then it will become energized, it will become

Meredith Oke:

more likely to become structured water when it

Meredith Oke:

gets into the lining of the arteries. And when it

Meredith Oke:

becomes structured water on the lining of the

Meredith Oke:

arteries, that's what propels blood flow, that's

Meredith Oke:

what keeps blood moving. So in a way, the heart

Meredith Oke:

is responsible for blood flow in that way, but

Meredith Oke:

just in a very indirect way. So that's one

Meredith Oke:

purpose of the heart, is that it's kind of

Meredith Oke:

swishing the blood around, which is the way water

Meredith Oke:

is in nature. It's always moving and being

Meredith Oke:

swished around. It's crashing on the beach, it's

Meredith Oke:

rolling over rocks and rivers. It's evaporated,

Meredith Oke:

precipitating, it's moving. And when water gets

Meredith Oke:

stagnant in nature, like in a puddle or a pond,

Meredith Oke:

it's kind of gross. Right. And so to keep things

Meredith Oke:

clean and moving, we have to. We have to keep it

Meredith Oke:

moving. But in laminar tubes, that doesn't do the

Meredith Oke:

swishing around. Right. It kind of keeps things

Meredith Oke:

moving linearly, and that can create less

Meredith Oke:

energized water. So why is there this thing

Meredith Oke:

placed right in the middle of the arterial and

Meredith Oke:

venous circulation that swishes blood around?

Meredith Oke:

Because we need it to be swished around. And

Meredith Oke:

that's one role of the heart. Right. So, I mean,

Meredith Oke:

again, like, if there was a pressure propulsion

Meredith Oke:

pump, we wouldn't. Like, if you want to pump

Meredith Oke:

water up a hill, you put the pump at the bottom

Meredith Oke:

of the hill. So if we want to pump water from our

Meredith Oke:

blood, from our feet to our head or whatever, we

Meredith Oke:

put the pump at the bottom. But the. Our heart's

Meredith Oke:

in the middle of everything, so it doesn't make

Meredith Oke:

sense for it to be there if it was a true

Meredith Oke:

pressure propulsion pump. So, yeah, there's other

Meredith Oke:

mechanisms of blood movement, and the heart is

Meredith Oke:

vortexing. And there's interesting studies that

Meredith Oke:

show that when you increase the blood flow,

Meredith Oke:

artificially increased blood flow, that the heart

Meredith Oke:

actually just. The valves just kind of open and

Meredith Oke:

let it kind of go through. And so we're not

Meredith Oke:

talking about cardiac output, like the cart, the

Meredith Oke:

heart is pumping out this fluid. It's more like

Meredith Oke:

cardiac throughput, like the amount that's moving

Meredith Oke:

through and they've increased the heart rate or

Meredith Oke:

the artificially increased heart rate of the

Meredith Oke:

heart and how much it's contracting. And the

Meredith Oke:

blood flow stayed the same, like the amount of

Meredith Oke:

blood moving through stayed the same because it's

Meredith Oke:

just how fast it's contracting, it's not how fast

Meredith Oke:

it's pumping. If you want to increase blood flow,

Meredith Oke:

then you increase the cardiac throughput and how

Meredith Oke:

much is moving through it. So interesting. So

Meredith Oke:

that's the first role.

Meredith Oke:

So is that why exercise is so good? We're

Meredith Oke:

increasing that blood flow or infrared saunas or

Meredith Oke:

what's happening to our blood when we move and.

Meredith Oke:

And move and expose ourselves to healthy light?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. So, you know, there's a lot of reasons why

Meredith Oke:

those things are good, but one is, yes, you're

Meredith Oke:

like, you're increasing tissue demand for blood.

Meredith Oke:

And the tissue demand is what drives blood flow.

Meredith Oke:

You know, if there's areas like if your tissues

Meredith Oke:

start using up certain nutrients or oxygen or

Meredith Oke:

whatever, then the concentration gradient of

Meredith Oke:

those things and the tissues drops and the blood

Meredith Oke:

is drawn to it because, you know, areas of high

Meredith Oke:

concentration flow to areas of low concentration.

Meredith Oke:

So if you deplete the tissues, the blood will

Meredith Oke:

want to go into the tissues more. So that's

Meredith Oke:

what's driving blood flow. And the heart is just

Meredith Oke:

catching up. It's just keeping pace with how much

Meredith Oke:

blood is moving. So yes, if you increase blood

Meredith Oke:

flow by sitting in an infrared sauna because

Meredith Oke:

you're building structures, water and lining the

Meredith Oke:

arteries, increasing blood flow. Yes, your heart

Meredith Oke:

rate will increase. If I go sit in the sun, my

Meredith Oke:

heart rate will increase, not drastically because

Meredith Oke:

I'm not creating a huge tissue demand because I'm

Meredith Oke:

not exercising, but it'll increase because I'm

Meredith Oke:

increasing blood flow. And the heart's just

Meredith Oke:

trying to catch up. It's trying to energize or

Meredith Oke:

structure that blood as it moves through there as

Meredith Oke:

more blood is moving through the heart.

Meredith Oke:

So what's happening if someone is out of shape or

Meredith Oke:

not? Well, and they get out of breath very

Meredith Oke:

easily, or their heart pumps really fast, really

Meredith Oke:

quickly, even with minimum exertion. What's going

Meredith Oke:

on with that?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: That's more like they're having trouble adapting

Meredith Oke:

to stress, which exercise is a stress. So then

Meredith Oke:

they start to try and exercise and their body

Meredith Oke:

goes into an acute stress response, which is an

Meredith Oke:

adrenaline response. And so when you're doing

Meredith Oke:

that, you're telling your body we're in danger.

Meredith Oke:

And so that's kind of this old evolved response.

Meredith Oke:

And so that's having more of like a hormone

Meredith Oke:

effect, signaling effect. Like your body's going

Meredith Oke:

through this thing that it is not used to doing.

Meredith Oke:

And it's like, something must be wrong. We must

Meredith Oke:

have a stress response. So if they can't handle

Meredith Oke:

that stress and return to normal, return to

Meredith Oke:

homeostasis. That's poor health. Right. So

Meredith Oke:

health. To me, one way to define health is the

Meredith Oke:

ability to handle a stress healthily, adapt to it

Meredith Oke:

and return to homeostasis. If you can't do that,

Meredith Oke:

there's, there's poor health. So you could talk

Meredith Oke:

about that as simple as a high glucose meal. You

Meredith Oke:

know, can you handle that glucose meal, adapt to

Meredith Oke:

it, use that glucose properly through insulin

Meredith Oke:

signaling and then, and then return to

Meredith Oke:

homeostasis. Normally if you can't, that's type 2

Meredith Oke:

diabetes. You know, if you can go, you know,

Meredith Oke:

sprint 50 yards. And you can handle that and your

Meredith Oke:

body figures it out and then you can return to

Meredith Oke:

homeostasis within a normal amount of time.

Meredith Oke:

That's more healthy than someone who can't do

Meredith Oke:

that. So that's more of like a stress response.

Meredith Oke:

That's really interesting because we think about

Meredith Oke:

it as, as being unfit, but the lack. What we're.

Meredith Oke:

But what you're saying is unfit is our body's

Meredith Oke:

inability to handle these different states.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, I'd say it's almost like a shock to the

Meredith Oke:

body to do that when you've never trained it to

Meredith Oke:

do it, you know, or haven't trained to do it for

Meredith Oke:

a long time. And so the body's having a response

Meredith Oke:

that's having a stress response. It thinks it's

Meredith Oke:

under threat almost.

Meredith Oke:

Right. So just one more thing on this, because I

Meredith Oke:

heard, I think it was, it was Dave Asprey

Meredith Oke:

actually, and he was saying that what he, what

Meredith Oke:

he's come to in his understanding is that this,

Meredith Oke:

the high intensity things that we do where we

Meredith Oke:

like go really hard and then rest and then go

Meredith Oke:

really hard and then rest is actually maladaptive

Meredith Oke:

because in evolutionary we would go really hard

Meredith Oke:

and then we'd be out of danger and we'd, we

Meredith Oke:

wouldn't keep doing it over and over. So his

Meredith Oke:

recommendation was more just like, sprint really

Meredith Oke:

fast one time instead of over and over and then

Meredith Oke:

let your body recover. What are your thoughts?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: I mean, I, I don't know what our ancestors did

Meredith Oke:

exactly. You could theorize, you know, but they

Meredith Oke:

may have had to sprint a few different times if

Meredith Oke:

they were on a hunt, you know, a few different 50

Meredith Oke:

yard sprints or something like that. But yeah, it

Meredith Oke:

wasn't excessive. I mean, once they caught the

Meredith Oke:

meal or didn't catch the meal, they're like, all

Meredith Oke:

right, I gotta recover. Especially if they didn't

Meredith Oke:

catch the meal, they really gotta recover because

Meredith Oke:

they're not getting any, any nutrients to replace

Meredith Oke:

or whatever. But I would tend to agree with them

Meredith Oke:

that you could probably get the same benefits

Meredith Oke:

with one sprint. You know, there's really good

Meredith Oke:

evidence that we're spending way too much time

Meredith Oke:

working out. You know, I, for the last two years

Meredith Oke:

now, I've been like, when I do lift weights, I

Meredith Oke:

just do one set to failure. I do a push exercise,

Meredith Oke:

a pull exercise and a leg exercise to failure.

Meredith Oke:

And I have maintained and gained muscle from

Meredith Oke:

doing that. So I'm like in there for 15 minutes.

Meredith Oke:

I almost feel guilty, you know.

Meredith Oke:

Wow. So when you say to failure, it's like you

Meredith Oke:

just do it till you can't do it anymore. And then

Meredith Oke:

you stop.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, you really have to push. Like, it's. At

Meredith Oke:

first, it's hard to learn to go to failure.

Meredith Oke:

You're kind of like, oh, I'm tired. It's like,

Meredith Oke:

no, not tired. Like, you need to go to where.

Meredith Oke:

You, like, you literally can't move the thing

Meredith Oke:

even, Right.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: You have to. You know, if you're lifting weights,

Meredith Oke:

you gotta be careful with that. You gotta make

Meredith Oke:

sure that it's like a machine or something, or

Meredith Oke:

you're really safely set up on a squat or

Meredith Oke:

something like that. Cause it's kind of intense

Meredith Oke:

to go to failure with those types of lifts. But,

Meredith Oke:

yeah, it's more efficient. I want to buy a weight

Meredith Oke:

set for my garage and do it so I can open the

Meredith Oke:

garage and work an outdoor light. But it's like,

Meredith Oke:

I can't justify buying that expensive of a thing

Meredith Oke:

if I'm in there for 15 minutes twice a week. So,

Meredith Oke:

yeah, I just go to the gym. But yeah, and then

Meredith Oke:

other forms of exercise are good too, but you can

Meredith Oke:

get the same benefits. So doing that kind of

Meredith Oke:

stuff so it makes sense, like, you challenge the

Meredith Oke:

tissue, you tell it wasn't good enough, and it

Meredith Oke:

rebuilds stronger.

Meredith Oke:

Right? I've heard that story. I mean, I hear that

Meredith Oke:

story from everyone who has adopted a sort of

Meredith Oke:

quantum circadian lifestyle that they just don't

Meredith Oke:

exercise as much and they're in better shape.

Meredith Oke:

Like, they still exercise. I'm not saying they

Meredith Oke:

don't, but this idea that maxing out on the

Meredith Oke:

hardcore exercise is the only way just doesn't

Meredith Oke:

seem to be the case.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: And it's kind of a misnomer of like, doing

Meredith Oke:

cardio, you know, because, I mean, cardio, like

Meredith Oke:

getting your heart rate up and, and. But even

Meredith Oke:

just walking or whatever is. Is good for you, but

Meredith Oke:

more cardio is not good for you. Like, if you do

Meredith Oke:

like super long endurance type stuff, that is.

Meredith Oke:

That is not healthy, in my opinion. It causes

Meredith Oke:

more inflammation because again, we're. We're

Meredith Oke:

putting ourselves in that stress state for too

Meredith Oke:

long. And there's people that argue that we're

Meredith Oke:

born to run. There's a book about it even. But if

Meredith Oke:

you look at lots of studies, especially

Meredith Oke:

cardiovascularly, people who've run more long

Meredith Oke:

endurance races have more scar tissue in the

Meredith Oke:

heart, they have more atherosclerosis because

Meredith Oke:

they're just in this higher inflamed state. And

Meredith Oke:

people argue, well, were these people on

Meredith Oke:

carbohydrate diets? And maybe they were, maybe

Meredith Oke:

they weren't. But regardless, the response to

Meredith Oke:

exercise is a hormetic stress. It's an

Meredith Oke:

inflammatory thing. And so you want to do. It's

Meredith Oke:

like there's a Goldilocks amount. You want to do

Meredith Oke:

enough of it to tell your body to get better and

Meredith Oke:

adapt to a stress better, but not overdo it. And

Meredith Oke:

I think that we've kind of overdone it or we've

Meredith Oke:

been programmed to overdo it if we don't get to

Meredith Oke:

the gym, you know. But Dave Asprey's one to say

Meredith Oke:

that, like back when he was unhealthy, he was

Meredith Oke:

like, man, I was in the gym all the time and I

Meredith Oke:

was just still super unhealthy. It wasn't

Meredith Oke:

working. He was probably making it worse at that

Meredith Oke:

point by inflaming the body without being able to

Meredith Oke:

adapt to it, because there's other things he had

Meredith Oke:

wrong about his environment that were wrong. So,

Meredith Oke:

yeah, it's interesting, but you can get very

Meredith Oke:

efficient exercise done in a very quick amount of

Meredith Oke:

time that's just as effective. And the book Body

Meredith Oke:

by Science by Doug McGuff, he's been doing that

Meredith Oke:

for 30 years in his clinic, helping people

Meredith Oke:

maintain muscle mass in that way. And he's got

Meredith Oke:

all the stats and data to show it.

Meredith Oke:

Oh, cool. We'll have to link to that book. We've

Meredith Oke:

talked about the heart in terms of the new

Meredith Oke:

paradigm function of the heart, which is as a

Meredith Oke:

vortex. We have the blood circulating through

Meredith Oke:

various mechanisms, not necessarily being pumped.

Meredith Oke:

The heart is a vortex that swishes it around,

Meredith Oke:

keep it fresh. Like the same way we want our

Meredith Oke:

spring water bubbling over the rocks and not

Meredith Oke:

sitting in a stagnant pond. Tell me about where

Meredith Oke:

you're at with the, say more esoteric meanings

Meredith Oke:

and importance of the heart.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, well, if you look at like every single

Meredith Oke:

ancient cultures, like writings about the heart,

Meredith Oke:

whether it's ancient Egypt, Sumeria, Indian,

Meredith Oke:

Chinese, even Egyptian, they, they all describe

Meredith Oke:

the heart as. I forget which one it is. I think

Meredith Oke:

it's Chinese that tastes the orchestrator of the

Meredith Oke:

body. And they, they describe it as like almost

Meredith Oke:

the seat of the soul. You know, this is the

Meredith Oke:

understanding. And it wasn't like all these

Meredith Oke:

ancient civilizations were all talking to each

Meredith Oke:

other, had the same thinking or philosophies. But

Meredith Oke:

they all came to that conclusion and so they were

Meredith Oke:

right. You know, I think that every organ has an

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field. It gives off. But the

Meredith Oke:

hearts is the largest, which we'll get to. But

Meredith Oke:

they felt that, I think they didn't necessarily

Meredith Oke:

have to have any concrete proof or measure

Meredith Oke:

anything. They just. That's what they felt. And,

Meredith Oke:

you know, there's a reason that we, I think,

Meredith Oke:

associate the heart with our emotional state. And

Meredith Oke:

we say, I love you with all my heart. And we say,

Meredith Oke:

I gave it all my heart. You know, you can put

Meredith Oke:

your mind to something, but when it comes to

Meredith Oke:

emotion, you're usually talking about your heart,

Meredith Oke:

not your kidneys or whatever. And so I don't

Meredith Oke:

think that's by mistake. However, in this really

Meredith Oke:

interesting story, it was King Charles, I think

Meredith Oke:

it was. So there was this Irish nobleman who had

Meredith Oke:

fallen and injured himself, and he. And it, like,

Meredith Oke:

broke ribs and they kind of broke apart and it

Meredith Oke:

abscessed. And it healed, though, but it healed

Meredith Oke:

in a way that his heart was visible, you know,

Meredith Oke:

and there was no, like, you know, open wound or

Meredith Oke:

anything. Like, it healed, but it healed. Like

Meredith Oke:

you could see his heart. And so he became like

Meredith Oke:

this guy that traveled around and, like, charged

Meredith Oke:

money for people to see his heart beating and

Meredith Oke:

stuff like this. Anyways, he was near London and.

Meredith Oke:

Or near wherever the king was in England. And the

Meredith Oke:

king heard about it and he told William Harvey,

Meredith Oke:

who. William Harvey is a very famous physician

Meredith Oke:

because he was the original person that described

Meredith Oke:

the circulation of the blood. That's what he's

Meredith Oke:

known for. He wrote Dumotu Cordis, which is the

Meredith Oke:

book that describes that. And he was the king's

Meredith Oke:

personal physician at the time. And he said. He

Meredith Oke:

said, find that guy and bring him here. We want

Meredith Oke:

to see this. And so they brought him in and they.

Meredith Oke:

And they go and they examine the heart. And

Meredith Oke:

William Harvey notes that, you know, he was able

Meredith Oke:

to feel the. The man's heart and feel it beating

Meredith Oke:

and right there. And he said, with no offense to

Meredith Oke:

this man, so. Meaning that. That the guy couldn't

Meredith Oke:

feel it. Like you're touching the organ and he

Meredith Oke:

couldn't feel it. You could feel, like the

Meredith Oke:

outside you're touching him, but he couldn't feel

Meredith Oke:

when you touched him inside. So he said it kind

Meredith Oke:

of led to this idea that the heart has no senses.

Meredith Oke:

There's no, like, no feeling, you know, combined

Meredith Oke:

with the fact that Harvey also described the

Meredith Oke:

mechanical circulation of the blood in the body

Meredith Oke:

and saw the heart as kind of this pump that was

Meredith Oke:

driving that circulation. That's when I forget

Meredith Oke:

when this was. I think it was like 1600s or

Meredith Oke:

something. I don't know. That's within. The idea

Meredith Oke:

started to move away from the heart being this

Meredith Oke:

seed of the soul and, you know, I guess sensor of

Meredith Oke:

our emotions and things like that, more toward

Meredith Oke:

this mechanical organ. And that's kind of taken

Meredith Oke:

Off. And then now we're coming back full circle

Meredith Oke:

with the work of Roland McCready and the

Meredith Oke:

HeartMath Institute. And we're finding out that

Meredith Oke:

the heart does have this very large

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field that allows it to touch or

Meredith Oke:

sense not only our external environment, but also

Meredith Oke:

kind of orchestrate or sync up the entire

Meredith Oke:

internal environment, all the other organs. So

Meredith Oke:

all the other organs, electromagnetic fields are

Meredith Oke:

being sort of aligned with how the heart's

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field and what it's feeling. And

Meredith Oke:

then the most fascinating thing is that we've

Meredith Oke:

also got studies now that we've, we've I guess

Meredith Oke:

developed the ability to do heart transplants is

Meredith Oke:

that there are studies that show that, that

Meredith Oke:

recipients of a heart transplant tend to take on

Meredith Oke:

characteristics or personality traits of the

Meredith Oke:

donor. So there's something about the emotion or

Meredith Oke:

personality or something that is stored in the

Meredith Oke:

heart and maybe, maybe all organs as well. But

Meredith Oke:

since the heart has the biggest electromagnetic

Meredith Oke:

field, like what they do is they. They interview

Meredith Oke:

the people in the donor's life and they interview

Meredith Oke:

people in the recipient's life and the recipient

Meredith Oke:

themselves. And they find that anything from like

Meredith Oke:

preferences in music, art, sexual preferences,

Meredith Oke:

career preferences tend to show up in the

Meredith Oke:

recipient from what the donors were that were

Meredith Oke:

different than before. So it's fascinating.

Meredith Oke:

There's way more to like memory and to our

Meredith Oke:

tissues and probably stored in structured water

Meredith Oke:

in the body. But when you transfer it to somebody

Meredith Oke:

else, it can change them a little bit. So I think

Meredith Oke:

that the ancients were onto something in that

Meredith Oke:

this was the seed of the soul. This kind of made

Meredith Oke:

us who we are, where lots of our personality was

Meredith Oke:

stored or emotional personality was stored maybe.

Meredith Oke:

And so it's very interesting. That's the, that's

Meredith Oke:

the third role of the heart. I mean, we've all

Meredith Oke:

been heartbroken, you know, and there's actually

Meredith Oke:

a disease that can happen when you become

Meredith Oke:

heartbroken. It's called Takatsubo

Meredith Oke:

cardiomyopathy, which is basically broken heart

Meredith Oke:

syndrome. You develop heart failure because

Meredith Oke:

you're broken hearted due to extreme emotional

Meredith Oke:

states. And there's mechanisms of heart attacks

Meredith Oke:

that can happen due to imbalanced stress

Meredith Oke:

signaling to the heart. Emotional stress

Meredith Oke:

signaling can trigger a heart attack if you get

Meredith Oke:

into the right situation. And I've talked about

Meredith Oke:

that in other places and I talk about that in my

Meredith Oke:

book too. So there's this extreme emotional

Meredith Oke:

connection to this organ. And so I think that it

Meredith Oke:

is what allows us to a create what they call

Meredith Oke:

coherence or unfortunately convey incoherence.

Meredith Oke:

And so we talk about, from a quantum aspect of

Meredith Oke:

Things and quantum biology and how the body

Meredith Oke:

works. We're talking about interbody

Meredith Oke:

communication and how our body communicates

Meredith Oke:

externally to the environment. And it doesn't do

Meredith Oke:

that through biochemistry. It does that through

Meredith Oke:

biophysics. It does that through the fascia

Meredith Oke:

system in our body is conducting information and

Meredith Oke:

electrons and protons all throughout our body.

Meredith Oke:

And the mitochondria are communicating

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetically as well as through light

Meredith Oke:

signaling and reactive oxygen species signaling

Meredith Oke:

and quantum entanglement. When two molecules get

Meredith Oke:

entangled and they separate and they're still

Meredith Oke:

communicating from a distance, all those things.

Meredith Oke:

And then the heart's electromagnetic field is

Meredith Oke:

kind of like sensing all that or monitoring all

Meredith Oke:

that and picking up your level of interbody

Meredith Oke:

coherence, interbody communication that's

Meredith Oke:

happening and it's sensing that, and it's

Meredith Oke:

conveying that information to the brain. And we

Meredith Oke:

have evidence that it conveys that

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetically as well as neurologically

Meredith Oke:

through nerves. And there's more signals from the

Meredith Oke:

heart to the brain. And then the brain is picking

Meredith Oke:

up the messages. The brain is always just an

Meredith Oke:

interpretation center, sensing our. Or like

Meredith Oke:

picking up all the information that we're sensing

Meredith Oke:

from our environment, interpreting it, and then

Meredith Oke:

relaying it to the body so that it can have the

Meredith Oke:

appropriate response. But the sensory information

Meredith Oke:

or the emotional sensory information is coming

Meredith Oke:

from the heart to the brain. And so then the

Meredith Oke:

brain responds accordingly. And so it's. It's a

Meredith Oke:

very important role because if you think about

Meredith Oke:

senses and what the senses allow us to do, they

Meredith Oke:

allow us to interact and respond to our

Meredith Oke:

environment. And a species or an individual that

Meredith Oke:

cannot interact or respond to his environment

Meredith Oke:

doesn't last very long. And so because it can't

Meredith Oke:

change, it can't react to it, get out of harm's

Meredith Oke:

way or whatever. And so that's a very, very

Meredith Oke:

important role for the heart and it's especially

Meredith Oke:

important for humans because we have this unique

Meredith Oke:

ability to worry and think about things in a way

Meredith Oke:

that other species can't because of how large our

Meredith Oke:

prefrontal cortex is. I'm not saying that other

Meredith Oke:

species don't, but we have a cognitive ability

Meredith Oke:

that's much higher. We're, as far as I know, the

Meredith Oke:

only species that can think our way into a stress

Meredith Oke:

response just by overthinking something or seeing

Meredith Oke:

something happen to somebody else and then

Meredith Oke:

feeling like, fearing it's going to happen to us,

Meredith Oke:

you know, or seeing something happen halfway

Meredith Oke:

across the world that doesn't affect our life at

Meredith Oke:

all, but stress being stressed about it, you

Meredith Oke:

know, and that's one of the issues with, with

Meredith Oke:

Media and being able to, you know, information

Meredith Oke:

being pumped all over the world, is that our

Meredith Oke:

physiology is not necessarily designed to handle

Meredith Oke:

all that. But yeah, it's, it's, it's fascinating

Meredith Oke:

when you, when you dig into that and you also

Meredith Oke:

realize that this organ is what allows us to

Meredith Oke:

connect to others. And heart coherence, like

Meredith Oke:

someone who's incoherent is able to. Is able to

Meredith Oke:

relate and connect to others in a more healthy

Meredith Oke:

way. And someone who's incoherent feels like

Meredith Oke:

they're on their own, they're isolated. You know,

Meredith Oke:

if you can't reach out and touch and feel the

Meredith Oke:

things around you and the people and the living

Meredith Oke:

things around you, you feel isolated. It's like

Meredith Oke:

alone in a crowded room sort of thing. And it's

Meredith Oke:

what we describe with people who have depression.

Meredith Oke:

They kind of become isolated, they feel isolated.

Meredith Oke:

Even if they have people around them, they can't

Meredith Oke:

reach out and feel them. And it's because they

Meredith Oke:

have this incoherence. And that could be from a

Meredith Oke:

lot of different things, from past traumas that

Meredith Oke:

people have, or physical or emotional traumas or

Meredith Oke:

just poor mitochondrial health. I mean, we think

Meredith Oke:

about what Chris Palmer's doing with low carb

Meredith Oke:

diets and fixing people's mental health by

Meredith Oke:

changing their mitochondrial health. And there's

Meredith Oke:

probably way more they could do as well as diet.

Meredith Oke:

But we're seeing the impact that they're having

Meredith Oke:

because we're changing their mitochondria,

Meredith Oke:

increasing their body communication. Their

Meredith Oke:

heart's picking up on that. It's conveying to the

Meredith Oke:

brain. We're getting more coherent signals, and

Meredith Oke:

the person is now interacting with the

Meredith Oke:

environment more. And then maybe I've said a lot

Meredith Oke:

of things, but the most fascinating thing I

Meredith Oke:

think, is that it appears that this very large

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field that is being created by

Meredith Oke:

the heart is a result of the fact that a, there's

Meredith Oke:

a lot of mitochondria concentrated in the heart.

Meredith Oke:

It's one of the tissues with the highest density.

Meredith Oke:

The brain, the eyes, the heart have very high

Meredith Oke:

amounts of mitochondria. And like I briefly

Meredith Oke:

mentioned before, the mitochondria are creating

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field. And you concentrate a lot

Meredith Oke:

of mitochondria in an area that get a bigger

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field. But the brains are similar

Meredith Oke:

mitochondrial content to the heart. So why is the

Meredith Oke:

heart so much bigger? It's because the heart is

Meredith Oke:

spinning like this. And when you vortex or spiral

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field, it amplifies the field

Meredith Oke:

significantly. And so it's the only organ in the

Meredith Oke:

body, aside from the lungs, that is moving. And

Meredith Oke:

it's moving in a way that spins. So it's creating

Meredith Oke:

a toroidal force. This is just amplifying this

Meredith Oke:

field and that's why. And so if you get someone

Meredith Oke:

with heart failure and the heart is not

Meredith Oke:

contracting like this and the spinning nature, it

Meredith Oke:

starts to become like a basketball and it's doing

Meredith Oke:

this, their field significantly drops and that's

Meredith Oke:

a problem. Right. Also the poor mitochondrial

Meredith Oke:

function in people with heart failure too, that's

Meredith Oke:

one of the causes. So we're starting to

Meredith Oke:

understand the symptoms these people are having.

Meredith Oke:

They're getting lack of blood flow. There's more

Meredith Oke:

likely to be depressed when you get heart

Meredith Oke:

failure. And there's debate about whether that's

Meredith Oke:

because they have heart failure that's not

Meredith Oke:

improving or because I would say that the

Meredith Oke:

coherence is interfered with because

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field is smaller. But the

Meredith Oke:

electromagnetic field and the torsion seem to be

Meredith Oke:

coupled together. So we don't know which one's

Meredith Oke:

creating which because there's evidence that a

Meredith Oke:

torsional field will create an electromagnetic

Meredith Oke:

field, an electromagnetic field will create

Meredith Oke:

torsion. So I don't know which one it is. They're

Meredith Oke:

very coupled together. If you mess with one, the

Meredith Oke:

other's probably going to be off. But it's a very

Meredith Oke:

kind of delicate system that's put together and

Meredith Oke:

lots of things about our modern day environment

Meredith Oke:

are affecting that. Like my go tos for people

Meredith Oke:

with arrhythmias and heart failure are EMF

Meredith Oke:

environment. Past trauma could be as simple as

Meredith Oke:

just low electrolytes and then oh gosh, what's

Meredith Oke:

the fourth one? Circadian rhythm. So like all

Meredith Oke:

those different things, those four things, like

Meredith Oke:

you have to set those things and create coherence

Meredith Oke:

for the heart to get back online, whether it's

Meredith Oke:

arrhythmia or heart failure.

Meredith Oke:

So much to think about and so interesting too

Meredith Oke:

about the magnetic field of the heart because we

Meredith Oke:

hear about that a lot, but it's because of the

Meredith Oke:

motion. And for example, I know in my work as a

Meredith Oke:

coach, if I'm supporting someone to start a new

Meredith Oke:

business or create a new offer, if their heart's

Meredith Oke:

not in it, if it's like a purely mental

Meredith Oke:

construct, I know it's not going to work. And

Meredith Oke:

I've. And it's interesting because you're now

Meredith Oke:

giving me the scientific reason why. Right.

Meredith Oke:

Because the, what we put out in the world is

Meredith Oke:

coming emanating from us. And if our heart's not

Meredith Oke:

in it, it's not. There's no field like the, the

Meredith Oke:

possibility to entangle is reduced, would you say?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, the ability to Reach out into your

Meredith Oke:

environment and sense things is reduced. And if

Meredith Oke:

you can't sense your environment, how can you

Meredith Oke:

make educated decisions? But I just thought of

Meredith Oke:

this when you were talking. Think about it. If we

Meredith Oke:

see something stressful or we see something that

Meredith Oke:

may be a threat, our heart rate increases. And

Meredith Oke:

the traditional, I guess, thinking about that is

Meredith Oke:

that you're trying to deliver nutrients to

Meredith Oke:

tissues in case you need to run away. You know,

Meredith Oke:

you need to supply those tissues with nutrients,

Meredith Oke:

oxygen, whatever. And that, that's interesting.

Meredith Oke:

That could be. But it could also serve us in that

Meredith Oke:

if we increase the heart rate, we're increasing

Meredith Oke:

the, you know, contraction of the heart in this

Meredith Oke:

spiral nature, which may be amplifying the field

Meredith Oke:

more, which means we're becoming hyper aware of

Meredith Oke:

our environment, we're reaching out further and

Meredith Oke:

we're like, hey, let's sense the environment,

Meredith Oke:

let's keep ourselves safe. So there's more than

Meredith Oke:

just this biochemical reason why we would have a

Meredith Oke:

stress response. Right. It's putting us on high

Meredith Oke:

alert in many different ways.

Meredith Oke:

Absolutely. And then similar to that, but a

Meredith Oke:

different situation would be if, like, I just

Meredith Oke:

started a new type of meditation and I noticed

Meredith Oke:

that I have a much higher alertness after, like

Meredith Oke:

that. The way you just described it, when we

Meredith Oke:

sense danger, all of a sudden it's heightened.

Meredith Oke:

But we can also get there other ways which would

Meredith Oke:

make sense if the meditation is creating

Meredith Oke:

coherence.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, you're coming back into your heart space.

Meredith Oke:

People would say, right, and if you're coming

Meredith Oke:

back into your heart space, you become more aware

Meredith Oke:

of things that you were distracted from by your

Meredith Oke:

mind. Because there was this even like in ancient

Meredith Oke:

Roman or ancient Greek philosophers, there was

Meredith Oke:

kind of this divide. Like some of them thought

Meredith Oke:

that, you know, the heart was the seed of the

Meredith Oke:

soul. And then they were starting to say, maybe

Meredith Oke:

it's the mind. Because they were, I think they

Meredith Oke:

were probably becoming a bit arrogant about

Meredith Oke:

knowledge they were gaining because it was a time

Meredith Oke:

when lots of knowledge was gained potentially. I

Meredith Oke:

don't know, but they were coming toward the mind.

Meredith Oke:

And so coming back into your heart space, you,

Meredith Oke:

you learn to interact with the environment. You

Meredith Oke:

notice more things about your environment than

Meredith Oke:

you would if you were just in your mind. You were

Meredith Oke:

only thinking about what your mind and what your,

Meredith Oke:

what your senses. You know, like you're seeing in

Meredith Oke:

front of you right then and there. Rather than

Meredith Oke:

coming back into a more reflective state and

Meredith Oke:

noticing things and what that means and that kind

Meredith Oke:

of stuff.

Meredith Oke:

It'S having intuitions and.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, because then, like, if you think about it,

Meredith Oke:

if you're stuck in your mind, you're stuck in the

Meredith Oke:

present, you know, but if we talk about, if we

Meredith Oke:

talk about the heart being what accesses, you

Meredith Oke:

know, you know, your, the ether around you. And

Meredith Oke:

if everything, all consciousness is stored in the

Meredith Oke:

ether, then of course you're reflecting about,

Meredith Oke:

you know, past, present, intuition. You're

Meredith Oke:

getting all these different information from

Meredith Oke:

time. That's not right now like being distracted

Meredith Oke:

by right now, you know, because it's the organ

Meredith Oke:

that allows us to connect to that. So. Or if

Meredith Oke:

you're reaching out to someone else with your

Meredith Oke:

heart rather than with your mind and trying to

Meredith Oke:

force them to do something, but you're reaching

Meredith Oke:

out with your heart, you're probably going to

Meredith Oke:

learn a lot more about them and understand them a

Meredith Oke:

lot better because you're reaching with that

Meredith Oke:

heart which allows you to see not just what

Meredith Oke:

you're seeing, the behavior you're seeing in them

Meredith Oke:

right now, but probably a lot more information

Meredith Oke:

about them from their past or whatever. It opens

Meredith Oke:

you up to seeing those types of things.

Meredith Oke:

So cool. I love these conversations and it's, you

Meredith Oke:

know what I love too is that like I've been

Meredith Oke:

contemplating these ideas for a while and I

Meredith Oke:

always was like, okay, I have to go to the woo

Meredith Oke:

Woo people and everything that most of the things

Meredith Oke:

they say make sense and feel true. But it didn't.

Meredith Oke:

But then the science people would be.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Like, no, no, no.

Meredith Oke:

And now it's just like open season everything.

Meredith Oke:

Like the looking at life through the idea of

Meredith Oke:

physics is just like a whole new, we're in a

Meredith Oke:

whole new paradigm, a whole new world. Like all

Meredith Oke:

of these things just make sense.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. And that's the thing is that like, and you

Meredith Oke:

stuck, you're stuck in the science world, the

Meredith Oke:

biochemical science world. Everybody's just

Meredith Oke:

trying to prove that different biochemical

Meredith Oke:

equations are more, more important or prove this

Meredith Oke:

or prove that. Whereas when you get into this

Meredith Oke:

space, there's a lot of science, right? And we

Meredith Oke:

see a lot of science and we're saying but they

Meredith Oke:

were also like, but we know that's true, you

Meredith Oke:

know, because we feel that, you know, we, that

Meredith Oke:

science just explained that we're like, yeah,

Meredith Oke:

that makes total sense because I felt that before.

Meredith Oke:

It's funny when I talk to people like from the,

Meredith Oke:

from, from the woo world or the energy space and

Meredith Oke:

I give them like the, you know, two, two line

Meredith Oke:

explanation of quantum biology and say, you know,

Meredith Oke:

like it's showing or proving that there are

Meredith Oke:

quantum effects happening inside living systems.

Meredith Oke:

They, oh, the, the woo woo people are always

Meredith Oke:

like, people didn't know that.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: They lost touch with it because they're living in

Meredith Oke:

this is news.

Meredith Oke:

Like, they just, like they're just looking at me

Meredith Oke:

like, well, of course that's how it works. Like,

Meredith Oke:

who doubted that? Like, well, yeah, everybody

Meredith Oke:

else. Okay, so I want to wrap up on a topic

Meredith Oke:

that's a little bit tricky, but I think really

Meredith Oke:

worth talking about and helpful to talk about.

Meredith Oke:

You sort of framed your, your take on biology for

Meredith Oke:

us at the beginning has, has a lot to do with the

Meredith Oke:

structured water in our bodies and interbody

Meredith Oke:

communication and how, you know what, obviously

Meredith Oke:

what we put in our body is having an effect from.

Meredith Oke:

Through this paradigm is having an effect beyond

Meredith Oke:

what you would anticipate through a biochemical

Meredith Oke:

model. Okay, now we are talking. It's 20, 25. A

Meredith Oke:

few years ago there was a mass rollout of a new

Meredith Oke:

pharmaceutical product that was injected into

Meredith Oke:

many, many millions of people's bodies. And as

Meredith Oke:

we've been learning over the last few years, of

Meredith Oke:

course had a cascade effect that was

Meredith Oke:

unanticipated because they're working out of a

Meredith Oke:

old fashioned model of biology. However, that the

Meredith Oke:

effects of those injections are still, you know,

Meredith Oke:

we're still grappling with them. Some of the

Meredith Oke:

effects were immediate, some of them were a

Meredith Oke:

little longer term. So we're a few years out from

Meredith Oke:

the major rollout now. And I know that you're

Meredith Oke:

very well versed and very well researched on this

Meredith Oke:

topic. So I just wanted to hear where you think

Meredith Oke:

we're at, what you think is going on with those

Meredith Oke:

products and for people who took them, if there's

Meredith Oke:

anything that they can do.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, well, I have kind of been like, I had been

Meredith Oke:

kind of loosely aware of these things and just

Meredith Oke:

like kind of paying attention to them and keeping

Meredith Oke:

up with, you know, the, the news and stuff was

Meredith Oke:

coming out and. But I was reading a book by

Meredith Oke:

Gilbert Ling, I don't remember which one of his

Meredith Oke:

books I was reading, but he was talking about an

Meredith Oke:

experiment that he did and he was using ethylene

Meredith Oke:

glycol to inject into cells. For some reason, and

Meredith Oke:

I can't remember the reason because I was so

Meredith Oke:

blown away. I was like, ethylene glycol. I was

Meredith Oke:

like, I know that substance. And then I was like,

Meredith Oke:

I think that's in these injections. So I went and

Meredith Oke:

looked it up and in fact, in two of the brands,

Meredith Oke:

polyethylene glycol was in them. And polyethylene

Meredith Oke:

glycol is by definition just a string of ethylene

Meredith Oke:

glycols. They've Put.

Meredith Oke:

Which is what for us?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Well, ethylene glycol, I think actually

Meredith Oke:

polyethylene glycol is like antifreeze. Oh, yeah.

Meredith Oke:

So if you sprayed it on your frozen car window,

Meredith Oke:

it would melt it. Or you. You put it to something

Meredith Oke:

if you don't want it to freeze.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah, but isn't that the stuff. They're like,

Meredith Oke:

careful while you put this. So your dog doesn't

Meredith Oke:

get it because it's toxic.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, definitely.

Meredith Oke:

Okay.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. And, you know, there's polyethylene glycol

Meredith Oke:

in a lot of different products that we. That

Meredith Oke:

people, maybe not you and I, I don't know,

Meredith Oke:

consume on, on a regular basis. It can be in,

Meredith Oke:

like, toothpaste, it can be in a lot of different

Meredith Oke:

things. But however, when you ingest it, it

Meredith Oke:

doesn't seem to be that much of an issue. Your

Meredith Oke:

body seems to get rid of it pretty easily. It has

Meredith Oke:

the mechanisms that just get rid of it. Even if

Meredith Oke:

you absorb some of it in your liver, gets rid of

Meredith Oke:

it pretty easily in those small amounts anyways.

Meredith Oke:

However, if you inject it and go past those

Meredith Oke:

barriers that use to eliminate it, that can cause

Meredith Oke:

a problem. So anyways, what Dr. Ling found was

Meredith Oke:

that he was injecting it. And again, I don't

Meredith Oke:

remember why he was doing this in his experiment,

Meredith Oke:

but he would inject it into a cell, the ethylene

Meredith Oke:

glycol. And at first he saw the cell would start

Meredith Oke:

to shrink a little bit. Just like very briefly,

Meredith Oke:

it would shrink, and then it would just all of a

Meredith Oke:

sudden start to expand. Like, the CE would get

Meredith Oke:

huge. So if we think about what's in the cell, a

Meredith Oke:

cell is largely. What largely fills the cell is

Meredith Oke:

structured water. And so structured water is. So,

Meredith Oke:

like, when you take water and you freeze it, it

Meredith Oke:

becomes less dense, or so it just expands. Ice

Meredith Oke:

expands. That's why if you put. If you freeze

Meredith Oke:

water in a glass bottle, it'll break the bottle.

Meredith Oke:

Right. However, structured water is actually more

Meredith Oke:

dense. So it kind of shrinks. So if we get liquid

Meredith Oke:

water, the space that the water is becomes more

Meredith Oke:

dense. Right. And so that's what a cell is. Is

Meredith Oke:

this. This more dense structure water or a large

Meredith Oke:

portion of the cell is this more dense,

Meredith Oke:

structured water? And then he injected

Meredith Oke:

polyethylene glycol into it, and he saw at first,

Meredith Oke:

like this, very momentarily shrinking and then

Meredith Oke:

just expanding. Right. So what was happening is

Meredith Oke:

that the structured water was being destroyed and

Meredith Oke:

it was going back to liquid water, which means no

Meredith Oke:

more area. Like, it creates bigger. So basically,

Meredith Oke:

ethylene glycol was destroying structured water.

Meredith Oke:

And that's what he found, that it interfered with

Meredith Oke:

structured water's ability to form. So you take

Meredith Oke:

that and you realize that here it is in these

Meredith Oke:

injections.

Meredith Oke:

And then, okay, sorry, I just want to make sure I

Meredith Oke:

have it. So the cell is made of structured water.

Meredith Oke:

Gilbert Ling did experiments for unknown reasons

Meredith Oke:

that don't matter, but he put this ingredient

Meredith Oke:

into the cell and it damaged the structured water.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yes, like it broke it up and it turned, it went

Meredith Oke:

back to liquid water because there's liquid water

Meredith Oke:

in the cell.

Meredith Oke:

So it like pulled it out of the fourth phase and

Meredith Oke:

put it back into regular water, right?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, it caused a phase transition. Right. You

Meredith Oke:

know.

Meredith Oke:

Okay.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Away from fourth phase back to liquid water. And

Meredith Oke:

that created this swelling of the cells, which is

Meredith Oke:

exactly what happens when we get swelling in our

Meredith Oke:

tissue. Right. If you, if your tissue swells,

Meredith Oke:

it's because there's a damage. The status quo is

Meredith Oke:

damaged. It can't maintain structured water. And

Meredith Oke:

we start to get the swelling of the tissue while

Meredith Oke:

this healing response happens. And there's also

Meredith Oke:

blood flow increases to the area and lots of

Meredith Oke:

things happen to try and heal it. But that's one

Meredith Oke:

reason that we get swelling. So anyways, so then

Meredith Oke:

I was like, oh, well, that's interesting. So now

Meredith Oke:

we can understand that there's a certain

Meredith Oke:

ingredient. And then there's also Polysorbate 80,

Meredith Oke:

which is in the other two brands that we of the

Meredith Oke:

injection that were out there. And it's been

Meredith Oke:

shown to have similar like effects to

Meredith Oke:

polyethylene glycol or ethylene glycol. So

Meredith Oke:

anyways, so we're injecting this past. We're not

Meredith Oke:

ingesting it so we can get rid of it pretty

Meredith Oke:

easily. We're injecting it right into the

Meredith Oke:

tissues, which is surpassing that natural

Meredith Oke:

mechanism. We're not supposed to have things

Meredith Oke:

injected necessarily.

Meredith Oke:

Was the thinking, oh, this is non toxic because

Meredith Oke:

when people ingest it, they're able to get rid of

Meredith Oke:

it. Or was there just not any thinking was, who

Meredith Oke:

knows?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: It could have just been that, you know, for these

Meredith Oke:

types of things to quote unquote, work, there has

Meredith Oke:

to be something to aggravate the immune system.

Meredith Oke:

Maybe that was it. I don't know. I'm not sure

Meredith Oke:

exactly why they use them. I didn't go too far

Meredith Oke:

into that, but they're in there.

Meredith Oke:

Okay.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: And so if we look at that and we recognize that

Meredith Oke:

now we've injected this, you know, large amount

Meredith Oke:

of stuff that can destroy structured water. Well,

Meredith Oke:

you know, look at some of the side effects of

Meredith Oke:

these injections. And it's not just these

Meredith Oke:

injections, it's other injections too. It's just

Meredith Oke:

likely that other toxins do the same thing. But

Meredith Oke:

when you look at the side effects, one of them

Meredith Oke:

you just have a local reaction, right? A red

Meredith Oke:

response, kind of a histamine reaction to that.

Meredith Oke:

And so if you look at what the way, the way we

Meredith Oke:

get a histamine response or one way we get a

Meredith Oke:

histamine response is if the voltage of a cell

Meredith Oke:

drops too much and that makes mass cells which

Meredith Oke:

make histamine unstable. And if they become

Meredith Oke:

unstable, they start releasing histamine like

Meredith Oke:

crazy. And so what holds the charge?

Meredith Oke:

Say that again. Can you say that one more time?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: So the charge of a cell, the voltage of a cell,

Meredith Oke:

which if you learn, study the physiology, you all

Meredith Oke:

know there's this net negative voltage of a cell.

Meredith Oke:

And that net negative voltage is what makes the

Meredith Oke:

cell stable. And if we get a drop in voltage,

Meredith Oke:

then that can make mast cells unstable. And the

Meredith Oke:

mast cells are the cells in the body that release

Meredith Oke:

the things in the body that release the mast cell

Meredith Oke:

or the histamine. And the histamine response is

Meredith Oke:

what makes you itchy and have this red response,

Meredith Oke:

you know. And so if you look at structured water

Meredith Oke:

is what holds the negative voltage in a cell.

Meredith Oke:

It's what gets the cell, it's net negative

Meredith Oke:

charge. So if you inject something locally there

Meredith Oke:

that interferes with structured water formation,

Meredith Oke:

now there's no net negative charge being held,

Meredith Oke:

and it's more likely to drop that voltage. You

Meredith Oke:

drop the voltage. Mast cells, when you drop the

Meredith Oke:

voltage, makes them unstable, they start spewing

Meredith Oke:

out histamine and you get this red response,

Meredith Oke:

right? So that can happen locally if the person

Meredith Oke:

is in a compromised state already, which is why

Meredith Oke:

we see more issues with type 2 diabetics and

Meredith Oke:

things like that, then this can be a systemic

Meredith Oke:

response, and that's anaphylaxis and that's life

Meredith Oke:

threatening.

Meredith Oke:

So that's like I get stung by a bee, I get, I get

Meredith Oke:

a red welt. But someone else goes into

Meredith Oke:

anaphylactic shock, right?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: So it just depends, same stimulant or what

Meredith Oke:

they've learned to be reactive to in the past,

Meredith Oke:

right? What their body's learned to be reactive

Meredith Oke:

to. So that's one thing. That's one thing that

Meredith Oke:

happened with them that we can explain. Another

Meredith Oke:

thing that happened was clotting, Excessive

Meredith Oke:

clotting happened. And so I've spoken a lot

Meredith Oke:

about, I'm sure on the last or the first podcast

Meredith Oke:

we did that we talked about how heart disease is

Meredith Oke:

caused by clotting. And the way you prevent

Meredith Oke:

clotting biophysically is you build structured

Meredith Oke:

water in the arteries. Because when you build

Meredith Oke:

structured water in the arteries, it keeps blood

Meredith Oke:

moving, it protects the lining of the artery, and

Meredith Oke:

it keeps blood thin or all the elements above,

Meredith Oke:

even in space. And that prevents clotting. If you

Meredith Oke:

inject something that breaks down structured

Meredith Oke:

water, you're highly predisposing someone to

Meredith Oke:

clotting because you're getting thick, stagnant

Meredith Oke:

blood. You're. You're taking away the protection

Meredith Oke:

lining the artery, which now it can be damaged.

Meredith Oke:

And you're interfering with blood flow when you

Meredith Oke:

tear down structured water. So stagnant, thick

Meredith Oke:

blood is going to clot. And so that's exactly

Meredith Oke:

what we saw with these things. We saw excessive

Meredith Oke:

clotting in people. Another thing we saw was high

Meredith Oke:

blood pressure. A lot of people had high blood

Meredith Oke:

pressure. And so again, if you destroy the

Meredith Oke:

structured water on the lining of the artery or

Meredith Oke:

you make it less likely to form, and the

Meredith Oke:

structured water is what's moving the blood

Meredith Oke:

through a tube. Well, if the, if the blood in the

Meredith Oke:

tube is not moving fast enough, how does the body

Meredith Oke:

get it? One way the body gets it to move faster

Meredith Oke:

is you constrict, right? Just like if you put

Meredith Oke:

your thumb over the end of a hose and water comes

Meredith Oke:

out faster because you're decreasing the area to

Meredith Oke:

which it can travel. The same thing, you

Meredith Oke:

constrict the blood vessel and it moves faster,

Meredith Oke:

but it also creates more pressure. And so you're

Meredith Oke:

increasing blood pressure. So again, that could

Meredith Oke:

be a pitomechanism there. Another thing that we

Meredith Oke:

saw was myocarditis or pericarditis, inflammation

Meredith Oke:

of the heart. And the kind of the sacs, I guess,

Meredith Oke:

that contain the heart, the connective tissue

Meredith Oke:

sacs that hold it where it is. And so myocarditis

Meredith Oke:

is inflammation of the heart muscles themselves,

Meredith Oke:

the muscle cells. And then pericarditis is the

Meredith Oke:

pericardium around the heart was getting

Meredith Oke:

inflamed. And, you know, itis means inflammation.

Meredith Oke:

And so what's happening there is that structured

Meredith Oke:

water is in the cells. And it's also not just in

Meredith Oke:

the cells, but it lay. It lines our tissues,

Meredith Oke:

right? And structured water also is. Creates a

Meredith Oke:

frictionless barrier. So if, like, it's what

Meredith Oke:

forms when you ice skate on ice, there's

Meredith Oke:

structured water forming on the ice as it slowly,

Meredith Oke:

like, instantaneously melts. And then your. Your

Meredith Oke:

ice skate is sliding across it. And so this is

Meredith Oke:

frictionless barrier. So you grab the ice out of

Meredith Oke:

the freezer and it sticks to you, and then it

Meredith Oke:

melts and it slips right out of your hand. Right.

Meredith Oke:

Because the melting of it, you're forming this

Meredith Oke:

layer of structured water there. And so it

Meredith Oke:

creates this frictionless barrier. And so if you

Meredith Oke:

look at heart cells the way they are, they're

Meredith Oke:

heart muscle cells. They're lined up like they're

Meredith Oke:

connected by these intercalated discs like this,

Meredith Oke:

and the one after the other. And so they create

Meredith Oke:

these tubes of muscle. So when it contracts, the

Meredith Oke:

muscle kind of slides back and forth as it

Meredith Oke:

contracts as one. Right. So you get two of them,

Meredith Oke:

they're sliding past each other like this.

Meredith Oke:

However, if there's no structured water between

Meredith Oke:

them, creating a frictionless barrier, guess what

Meredith Oke:

you get inflammation. Myocarditis. Right. The

Meredith Oke:

other thing is that the. The pericardium and

Meredith Oke:

between the heart and the pericardium, there's

Meredith Oke:

also structured water that lines that. Those

Meredith Oke:

spaces between it. This is everywhere. It's

Meredith Oke:

between cells, it's everywhere. That gives it

Meredith Oke:

this frictionless barrier. So let's say you

Meredith Oke:

inject something that destroys structured water,

Meredith Oke:

and you have two of these barriers next to each

Meredith Oke:

other, and that frictionless effect is not there.

Meredith Oke:

It's going to create inflammation. So why didn't

Meredith Oke:

we see inflammation of the liver, inflammation of

Meredith Oke:

the kidneys? Why not? Why did it happen in the

Meredith Oke:

heart and the lungs? Pleuritis. Because those are

Meredith Oke:

the organs that are moving in the body.

Meredith Oke:

So they rely on that.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Right.

Meredith Oke:

That friction on that structured water for that

Meredith Oke:

frictionless movement.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. And so when you get. Especially the heart,

Meredith Oke:

we saw that more because again, the heart is

Meredith Oke:

moving more frequently and faster than the lungs.

Meredith Oke:

So we saw it in there. And then lastly, we saw

Meredith Oke:

increases in cancer. Right. And so what cancer

Meredith Oke:

is, is everybody says cancer is a metabolic

Meredith Oke:

disease. And there is definitely a metabolic

Meredith Oke:

component, and mitochondrial health is key. But

Meredith Oke:

it's not that. It's not that the mitochondria are

Meredith Oke:

like, not making enough energy or not making

Meredith Oke:

enough ATP. It's. I mean, it is kind of that, but

Meredith Oke:

it's really that what's. When the mitochondria

Meredith Oke:

don't function, the cell can't hold its voltage.

Meredith Oke:

And so there's plenty of studies that show that

Meredith Oke:

when cancer cells are. They don't use oxygen,

Meredith Oke:

meaning the mitochondria aren't functioning well,

Meredith Oke:

and that they. They have a pH, a higher pH or

Meredith Oke:

lower pH mean, meaning they're more acidic. And

Meredith Oke:

so more acidity means less negative charge. And

Meredith Oke:

so they've lost their voltage. Right. And so the

Meredith Oke:

reason that happens is because, I mean, the more

Meredith Oke:

traditional way that it happens is that you get

Meredith Oke:

poor mitochondrial function, mitochondrial damage

Meredith Oke:

from toxin exposures, poor metabolic health, poor

Meredith Oke:

mitophagy, that kind of stuff. All that stuff

Meredith Oke:

doesn't happen. And then the mitochondria aren't

Meredith Oke:

producing enough ATP. ATP is not unfolding

Meredith Oke:

cellular proteins giving water surface area to

Meredith Oke:

structure itself on. So if you don't get that,

Meredith Oke:

which is what the purpose of ATP is, is to unfold

Meredith Oke:

proteins. It's not to power the whole cell or the

Meredith Oke:

whole body. It's to unfold proteins so that

Meredith Oke:

there's surface area to hold charge, to hold

Meredith Oke:

energy, which is structured water. If you don't

Meredith Oke:

get that, then you can get into a cancerous state

Meredith Oke:

or a cell can lose its voltage. And when a cell

Meredith Oke:

loses its voltage, it loses its ability to

Meredith Oke:

communicate and function properly. And then it

Meredith Oke:

goes into survival mode and it starts rapidly

Meredith Oke:

dividing because it doesn't see itself as part of

Meredith Oke:

a whole. It sees itself as one individual cell

Meredith Oke:

that has to survive. So it starts rapidly

Meredith Oke:

dividing, and its progeny do the same thing. And

Meredith Oke:

so that's what cancer is. And so that's kind of

Meredith Oke:

the more traditional route of coming to cancer.

Meredith Oke:

However, you could also introduce something that

Meredith Oke:

destroys structured water directly. And you turn

Meredith Oke:

these cells, who may or may not have functioning

Meredith Oke:

mitochondria, maybe that stuff damages

Meredith Oke:

mitochondria too, but it also interferes with the

Meredith Oke:

body's ability to structure water in the cell.

Meredith Oke:

And then the cell is more likely to lose its

Meredith Oke:

voltage and become cancerous. And so they're

Meredith Oke:

calling them like these turbo cancers because the

Meredith Oke:

body can't get rid of these things. Because you

Meredith Oke:

look at most people, their detox pathways are

Meredith Oke:

shut down. They're completely shut down. They

Meredith Oke:

have stagnant fluid in the body. The blood flow

Meredith Oke:

is not moving well, the lymph is not moving well.

Meredith Oke:

They're not sweating on a daily know I've met so

Meredith Oke:

many people who can't sweat. They just. They try

Meredith Oke:

to and they can't because there's just detox

Meredith Oke:

mechanisms are shut down. Their liver is backed

Meredith Oke:

up and not supported properly. They may have

Meredith Oke:

constipation, like their detox mechanisms are

Meredith Oke:

shut down. And that's a lot of people in this

Meredith Oke:

world.

Meredith Oke:

And detox mechanisms being sweating, pooping,

Meredith Oke:

what else?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Just the liver itself functioning properly. But

Meredith Oke:

if the liver is always dealing with all the

Meredith Oke:

toxins you're supposed to every single day, it

Meredith Oke:

can't do that as well. Plus it's not supported

Meredith Oke:

well enough because it doesn't have the right

Meredith Oke:

nutrients, collagen, B vitamins, things like that

Meredith Oke:

that we largely get from animal foods. Like those

Meredith Oke:

things are important for the liver to do the

Meredith Oke:

conjugation phases of its detoxification. So all

Meredith Oke:

that stuff is. And then just static lymph, it's

Meredith Oke:

just not getting out, you know, because we have

Meredith Oke:

bound up fascia, because we're not in infrared

Meredith Oke:

light, we have scar tissue in the body, things

Meredith Oke:

like that. The lymph is just not moving. People

Meredith Oke:

are just not moving in general where, you know,

Meredith Oke:

people are living sedentary lives. And so all

Meredith Oke:

that stuff is just, we're not getting rid of this

Meredith Oke:

polyethylene glycol or polysorbate ab or whatever

Meredith Oke:

else is in them. You know, we're just not getting

Meredith Oke:

rid of them. And so with that, we get these

Meredith Oke:

people that are just, you know, perpetually in

Meredith Oke:

this state after this injection. And I'm, I'm of

Meredith Oke:

the opinion that the process of getting sick from

Meredith Oke:

any viral type illness is similar to this because

Meredith Oke:

it's just a toxic response to the body. Like the

Meredith Oke:

body has been introduced by a toxin and it could

Meredith Oke:

be environmental stuff that triggers it, or it

Meredith Oke:

could be directly introducing a toxin via an

Meredith Oke:

injection or something. So it's just your body

Meredith Oke:

having a detox response. But that's. So it's the

Meredith Oke:

same thing. It's the same kind of response. So

Meredith Oke:

you could be struggling from the vaccine or

Meredith Oke:

illnesses. You know, they could go on

Meredith Oke:

perpetually, which is an issue.

Meredith Oke:

I've heard that a lot from people. Like they'll

Meredith Oke:

get the flu and it'll last for like, they'll have

Meredith Oke:

symptoms for like a month.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

Or a cold that goes on for like weeks and weeks

Meredith Oke:

and weeks and weeks. Like the body doesn't seem

Meredith Oke:

able to resolve just a normal.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: It's in a seasonal state.

Meredith Oke:

Detox properly.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. And that's what it is. I mean, I mean you

Meredith Oke:

think about it like if you get it this type of

Meredith Oke:

illness and it gets bad enough, your body mounts

Meredith Oke:

a fever to force you to sweat and, and that's

Meredith Oke:

what happens. And then that's the way it was in

Meredith Oke:

the old days. Oh. And they, you know, they, they

Meredith Oke:

broke their fever, you know, they sweated it out

Meredith Oke:

and then they were better. Yeah, it's just like,

Meredith Oke:

that's. Makes a lot more sense to me. So that's

Meredith Oke:

what it is. And it's a similar reaction when you

Meredith Oke:

inject something that your body can't get rid of

Meredith Oke:

because your detox pathways are shut down. So the

Meredith Oke:

first step is charge your body, give Your body

Meredith Oke:

the energy it needs to then eventually get rid of

Meredith Oke:

this stuff. So charge your body means sunlight,

Meredith Oke:

grounding, avoiding toxins. It means metabolic

Meredith Oke:

health. So good energy sources, food energy

Meredith Oke:

sources, but also grounding and sunlight, like we

Meredith Oke:

said. And it means avoiding emf, things that

Meredith Oke:

steal the charge, avoiding artificial light that

Meredith Oke:

steals the charge, all those different things. So

Meredith Oke:

allow your body to actually charge up its battery

Meredith Oke:

and then open up detox pathways, then start to

Meredith Oke:

open things up. So fix constipation in whatever

Meredith Oke:

way you need to. It could just be that you're not

Meredith Oke:

drinking enough water or electrolytes. You know,

Meredith Oke:

start sweating, whether that's. If you don't want

Meredith Oke:

to exercise, get a sauna or sit in the sun. Like,

Meredith Oke:

start sweating. Start getting lymph moving. Like,

Meredith Oke:

lymphatic massages are great. You can do them on

Meredith Oke:

yourself. You can have someone else do them.

Meredith Oke:

Like, let's start getting stuff moving. Address

Meredith Oke:

the scar tissue in your body. Support the liver

Meredith Oke:

with B vitamins and collagen and things like

Meredith Oke:

that. Which, again, eating whole animal food

Meredith Oke:

sources is best. But, yeah, all that stuff. Once

Meredith Oke:

you start doing that, if you've charged up the

Meredith Oke:

body, you get enough energy, and then you open up

Meredith Oke:

the pathways, it'll get rid of stuff. It's really

Meredith Oke:

good at doing that. We're just in environments

Meredith Oke:

that are interfering with all that.

Meredith Oke:

Amazing. And I love that it's relatively simple.

Meredith Oke:

I find for people, the biggest barrier is, like,

Meredith Oke:

realizing they should do that. Whenever I talk to

Meredith Oke:

someone who has a lingering illness, which was a

Meredith Oke:

lot this winter, I'm like, you know, there's an

Meredith Oke:

infrared sauna place just in the next town over.

Meredith Oke:

It's only 10 minutes away. That would really

Meredith Oke:

help. And they're like, oh, yeah, okay. And I'm

Meredith Oke:

like, all right, I'm not gonna.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Well, the other aspect of detoxing is circadian

Meredith Oke:

rhythm, like, getting melatonin levels higher so

Meredith Oke:

that you. When you do sleep, you're actually

Meredith Oke:

detoxifying at night. If you don't get that

Meredith Oke:

signal, you won't. So it's like I tell people,

Meredith Oke:

it's like, you never took the trash out in your

Meredith Oke:

house. If you're not doing that when you sleep.

Meredith Oke:

If the. If you're not making enough melatonin.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

In addition to other things, melatonin is a

Meredith Oke:

detoxifier, is what you're saying.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Well, yeah, it stimulates the. Like, if you're

Meredith Oke:

talking about mitophagy and autophagy, lymphatic

Meredith Oke:

drainage and glymphatic drainage and gut lining

Meredith Oke:

repair and artery repair, like all that stuff

Meredith Oke:

like detox and repair happens at night if you

Meredith Oke:

have adequate melatonin. So again, that means

Meredith Oke:

mitochondrial function, but it also means getting

Meredith Oke:

that pineal melatonin by blocking blue light

Meredith Oke:

after sunset and optimizing that for sleep so

Meredith Oke:

that you get into that deep, restorative, healing

Meredith Oke:

sleep.

Meredith Oke:

Amazing. Well, Steven, thank you so much for

Meredith Oke:

coming back. This was really fun. We went to a

Meredith Oke:

lot of places. I feel like this was like four

Meredith Oke:

different episodes in one. It's good. It's great.

Meredith Oke:

So tell me how people can find you. There is an

Meredith Oke:

opportunity to see you speak live at the event in

Meredith Oke:

June. The Wild Retreat. Did I say the name?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: I said it.

Meredith Oke:

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. So, well, people can find me on my website

Meredith Oke:

is resourceyourhealth.com and all the stuff.

Meredith Oke:

So. Resourceyourhealth.com r e s o u r c e

Meredith Oke:

Meredith Oke:

that in the show notes, but I know most of you

Meredith Oke:

are driving or whatever, so.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Resourceyourhealth.com yeah, and all the stuff

Meredith Oke:

I'm doing is on there.

Meredith Oke:

And you're on the socials.

Meredith Oke:

Meredith Oke:

End of June.

Meredith Oke:

End of June in beautiful Tennessee. We'll also

Meredith Oke:

put a link to that in the show notes. Keep doing

Meredith Oke:

the work you're doing. And that was. I just want

Meredith Oke:

to wrap up like, that is an incredible take on,

Meredith Oke:

on the shots. Have you. Is that like something

Meredith Oke:

you pieced together because you happen to read

Meredith Oke:

that Gilbert Ling research, or are people

Meredith Oke:

understanding that that could be part of it?

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: That's something I just pieced together. And it's

Meredith Oke:

one possible mechanism. There's obviously

Meredith Oke:

probably other mechanisms by which they could be

Meredith Oke:

causing harm. But that's one that I, when I

Meredith Oke:

figured that out, I'm just like, oh, well, that

Meredith Oke:

can explain, you know, the, the high blood

Meredith Oke:

pressure can explain all the different things if

Meredith Oke:

you know. But I also knew previous information

Meredith Oke:

about structured water. So having that previous

Meredith Oke:

information, I was like, oh, well, then I can

Meredith Oke:

explain it all.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah. And you are likely one of very few people

Meredith Oke:

in the world who would have had a place to put

Meredith Oke:

all.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Those things together or would be reading Gilbert

Meredith Oke:

Ling.

Meredith Oke:

Exactly. You've read Gilbert Ling. You understand

Meredith Oke:

structured water and you're reading the

Meredith Oke:

ingredient list on pharmaceutical products.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah.

Meredith Oke:

Yeah. Well, that's what we're here for. That is

Meredith Oke:

why this podcast exists, because we love to hear

Meredith Oke:

what you're all learning, and it's so important

Meredith Oke:

and makes such a difference to our lives. So

Meredith Oke:

thank you for all your amazing work, and thank

Meredith Oke:

you for sharing it with us.

Meredith Oke:

Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, thanks for having me on.
