📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube
"The heart is not a pressure propulsion pump," says Dr. Stephen Hussey, who joins the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to challenge our conventional understanding of the heart's function and explore the fascinating world of quantum biology. Dr. Hussey explains how the heart acts as a vortex, swishing blood around to energize it and create structured water, which is crucial for optimal health and cellular function. He discusses how this new paradigm of understanding the body can explain various health issues, from heart disease to cancer, and even sheds light on the potential mechanisms behind adverse reactions to certain medical interventions.
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Hussey delves into the importance of electromagnetic fields in our bodies, the role of structured water in maintaining cellular voltage, and how our modern environment may be interfering with these vital processes. He offers practical advice on how to support our body's natural detoxification pathways and improve overall health through simple lifestyle changes. Tune in to discover why understanding quantum biology and biophysics is crucial for optimizing our health in today's world, and learn how to harness the power of light, grounding, and circadian rhythms to enhance your wellbeing.
5 Key Takeaways
1. Optimize your environment to support health rather than relying solely on supplements or medications. Focus on sunlight exposure, grounding, avoiding EMFs, and maintaining good circadian rhythms.
2. Support heart health by promoting structured water formation in the body. This can be done through proper hydration, sunlight exposure, and reducing exposure to substances that may disrupt structured water.
3. Enhance detoxification pathways by addressing constipation, promoting sweating (through exercise or sauna use), supporting liver function with B vitamins and collagen, and improving lymphatic flow through massage.
4. Prioritize getting quality sleep to support nighttime detoxification and repair processes. Optimize melatonin production by limiting blue light exposure after sunset and maintaining consistent sleep-wake cycles.
5. Consider adopting a more efficient exercise routine, such as brief high-intensity workouts or single-set strength training to failure, rather than prolonged cardio sessions which may increase inflammation.
Memorable Quotes
"We've kind of been stuck in this biochemical world. And then when I started reading more and getting steered in the right direction, you start reading all these other ways that the body physiology operates or all the different signals that they can get. And so now we're talking about magnetism, we're talking about electricity, we're talking about light, we're talking about just different forms of energy, vibrations, sound, all these different things."
"The heart is actually a vortex. As blood moves through the heart, it is vortexed in many different ways. Whether it's moving through valves, the way that flows into the heart, the way the heart contracts in a spiral, like nature, the heart is vortexing blood."
"Health to me, one way to define health is the ability to handle a stress healthily, adapt to it and return to homeostasis. If you can't do that, there's poor health."

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:Tell us about that.
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:yourhealth.com yes. All right. We will link to
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:Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah, social media.
Meredith Oke:What's your IG Social?
Meredith Oke:Dr. Stephen Hussey: Dr. Stephen Hussey. Stephen with a pH.
Meredith Oke:Yeah, pH s t e P H E N H U S s e y. Dr. Stephen
Meredith Oke:Hussey.
Meredith Oke:Dr. Stephen Hussey: Yeah. And then, yes, I will be at the Return to
Meredith Oke:Nature event, speaking. And that is in the June.
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
