Ep. 182 - Dr Darren Schmidt DC - Metabolic Health, Nutrition, Detoxification, Parasites, & Medicine

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 182 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr Darren Schmidt DC. Dr Schmidt was recommended to me, and I really enjoyed some of his content on YouTube. We sat down and spoke about a variety of topics, including agriculture, nutrition, health, subsidies, detoxification, parasites, RFK, medicine, and a lot else. I think Dr Schmidt is doing great work at sharing more holistic medicine and think and trust you all will gain much from his experience and teachings.

“…Through my personal odyssey, I uncovered a crucial nexus between chronic black mold exposure, lactic acidosis, and cardiovascular symptoms—a triad of causation that underscored the interconnectedness of health variables. Armed with this knowledge, I embarked on a mission to educate and empower others, sharing my insights with a community of holistic practitioners in June 2016—a pivotal moment marked by a resounding affirmation of my message.

Since then, at The Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor, I have witnessed profound transformations in patient outcomes, guided by a holistic framework that addresses the root cause, underlying mechanisms, and clinical manifestations of disease. In embracing this comprehensive approach to healing, we honor the wisdom of the past while charting a course toward a healthier future for ourselves and those we serve.”

John has done some amazing work in this area and I have a lot of respect for what he has done and how he is able to bring a lot of really varied topics together. It was a pleasure for me to catch up with him and I hope you all enjoy this conversation.

He has attained certifications such as Iridologist from NY Center for Iridology based on Bernard Jensen Iridology, Lifefood Culinary Chef & Phoenix Fastician from Jubb’s Longevity Live Food Culinary Chef from NYC. John has studied closely with the top pioneering authors & practitioners for the last 10 years in the alternative health field. His knowledge of and experience with detoxification, nutritional cleansing, bodywork, wellness & lifestyle coaching has led him to create a unique model evolving from a decade of apprenticeship, self study, and hands-on application with hundreds of clients. He has in-depth insights into areas of health pertained to nutritional timing (or “ time conscious" eating), trigger point & fascia bodywork, Nutritional Cleansing, near infrared therapy, and other alternative healing modalities & longevity strategies.
