#142 - How Zeolite Binds Heavy Metals For Detox Support

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] You can’t “detox” your way out of modern life, but you can stop letting toxic load run the show. We dig into zeolite, a natural mineral often called a “boiling stone,” and why it has become one of the most talked-about detox supplements for binding heavy metals and environmental toxins. Evan Patrick sits down with Centurion Health founder and CEO Troy Duell to unpack what detoxification actually means in the body. We talk about why the liver, kidneys, lungs, and gut are already working around the clock, and what happens when exposure from processed food, unfiltered water, air pollution, and chemicals like glyphosate stacks too high. Troy explains why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalance, and getting sick often can sometimes be linked to overload and why support should be about helping your body do what it already does. From there, we get practical about how zeolite works: a negatively charged, cage-like structure that can bind positively charged toxins in the gut, including heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. We also cover what to look for when shopping, including particle size, purification, and testing, plus important safety considerations such as avoiding inhaled forms, watching for medication interactions, and understanding potential Herx reactions. Finally, we share why we built a broader detox support blend at Centurion Health, combining zeolite with ingredients like chlorella, spirulina, alpha lipoic acid, NAC, L-glutathione, milk thistle, and shilajit to support both binding and liver detox pathways.

#141 - Glyphosate: "Safe" Levels of Poison In Your Food

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] Glyphosate isn’t a niche farm issue anymore. When a chemical is sprayed at massive scale and can show up on everyday foods like oats, the real question becomes simple: how much are we ingesting, and who gets to decide what “safe” means? We walk through why glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) has expanded so quickly in US agriculture, including the controversial practice of spraying certain crops right before harvest to speed drying. Then we get specific about the numbers that drive the debate: parts-per-billion residue limits on food, the massive spread between agency guidance and private testing standards, and why “low-level exposure” can feel like an unsatisfying answer when you’re feeding kids the same pantry staples you eat. From there, we zoom out to the bigger picture of health risk and regulation. We break down what the EPA says versus what the World Health Organization and other researchers raise as concerns, including links discussed to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, tumors in animal studies, endocrine disruption, and the unknowns of long-term microdosing. We also talk about PoEA, a surfactant used in some glyphosate-based herbicides that Europe has already banned, and why formulation ingredients matter as much as the headline chemical. Finally, we get practical and policy-focused: potential steps like ending pre-harvest desiccation, removing PoEA, and tightening drinking-water standards, plus personal moves that can reduce exposure now, including choosing organic produce when possible, washing fruits and vegetables, and using a quality water filter.

#140 - Health Headline Highlights: Rethinking Education, Peptides, And Vaccines

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] A lot of health advice sounds confident right up until you ask one simple question: “Based on what?” We open with the real-life habits we’re experimenting with right now, from making sourdough with organic einkorn flour for digestion to cutting down microplastics exposure by swapping out everyday items like toothbrushes. These small choices add up, especially when your goal is better gut health, lower toxic load, and a routine you can actually stick with. Then we jump into a brain-and-learning headline that deserves way more attention: handwriting vs typing. A study using EEG points to stronger brain connectivity and better memory formation when you write by hand, which has big implications for kids in screen-heavy classrooms and adults leaning on typing, AI, and voice-to-text. If you care about recall, focus, and cognitive performance, you’ll want to hear what the research suggests and how to apply it. We also tackle some of the most searched and debated topics in health right now: GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, the wave of lawsuits alleging serious side effects, and what long-term use may reveal that short studies miss. From there we break down the FDA peptide policy shift, why the 2023 crackdown helped create a peptide gray market, and what to look for when purity and third-party testing matter. We close with influenza vaccine effectiveness data that surprised us and the U.S. military ending the influenza vaccine mandate, all through the lens of informed consent and personal responsibility.

#139 - Why Choline Matters For Brain, Liver, And Cells

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] Most people can name vitamins like D and folate, but almost nobody talks about choline even though it helps build the structure of your cells, supports memory and mood, and plays a major role in liver function. We’re putting choline under the microscope and explaining why this “quiet” nutrient can have loud effects on how you feel day to day, from brain fog and fatigue to long-term health and aging.  We walk through what choline actually does, including its role as a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter tied to memory, mood, and muscle control. Then we connect the dots to liver health, where choline helps move fat away from the liver, a key point as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease becomes more common. You’ll also hear why choline supports cell membrane strength through phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine, and why that cellular integrity matters for resilience over time.  Pregnancy nutrition gets special attention too. We talk about why choline demand increases during pregnancy, how it supports fetal brain development and healthy cell growth, and why many prenatal vitamins still don’t include choline. We share daily intake targets, practical food sources (including eggs, beef, chicken, soybeans, broccoli, cauliflower, salmon, and cod), plus a clear breakdown of common supplement forms like citicoline, choline bitartrate, and phosphatidylcholine. We also cover safety, including the 3,500 mg/day upper limit and what to watch for if you stack multiple products.  If you found this helpful, subscribe to the Frontline Health Podcast, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who cares about brain health, prenatal nutrition, or better liver health.

#138 - Not All Prenatals Are Equal--Here’s What To Look For

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] That prenatal bottle can look “complete” and still give you almost none of what you actually need. We see it all the time: a kitchen sink label stuffed with ingredients, but the pill is kept small, so you end up with trace amounts that don’t meaningfully support pregnancy. We break down how to cut through the marketing and choose a prenatal vitamin based on what your body is really doing during pregnancy. We start with the fundamentals: pregnancy demands more red blood cells and nonstop DNA and RNA building for rapid growth. That’s why we focus on a short list of essentials, including folate in a bioavailable form like methylfolate (not just folic acid), vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, iron in a form that delivers meaningful elemental iron, and vitamin B6, which can also support nausea control for some women. We also talk through common “missing pieces” in many prenatals, like choline and adequate DHA for brain and eye development, and why vitamin D often makes more sense as a separate, individualized supplement. Then we make it practical with three simple questions to guide your choice: does it include the right nutrients, can you tolerate it, and will you take it consistently considering pill count and cost? We also share how we built our own options at Centurion Health, Bump DHA and Bump Mini, based on real-world feedback from doctors and patients who need something effective and doable.
