John and Mark discuss the fascinating process of “sulfation”, the attachment of sulfur to molecules throughout the human body e.g. lining of our blood vessels, vitamin D and cholesterol as the “carrier”.

They explore the importance of adequate sulfation in detoxification, producing brain neurotransmitters, lowering cardiovascular risk, reducing inflammation, etc. They also touch on the impact glyphosate has on the sulfation process.

John and mark conclude with lifestyle strategies to enhance more effective sulfation.

SIBO is now well associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and may be associated with a host of other health problems.

John and mark briefly review testing and treatment strategies of SIBO.

In this episode of The Health Edge, John and Mark examine heart disease risk from the perspective of lifestyle strategies to lower inflammation and oxidative stress. They challenge the conventional wisdom of the diet-fat-cholesterol heart disease hypothesis and the recommendations they have prompted over the last two generations.
