Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:04] All right. I'm Dr. Chalmers. So I thought I'd do a kind of an intro for all the people who are coming in from the radio interviews or the TV interviews or from any of the other doctors that we're working with in Frisco. So I'm in Frisco. I'm Dr. Matt Chalmers. I have a specialty in neurology of specialties in sports medicine and specialties in nutrition instruments and muscle testing and decompression. There's a couple of others I can remember. They're not as important. The I'm a chiro. I love being a chiro. The thing I think I love the most about it is our philosophy. The idea that the power that made the body heals the body, which I reference to, you know, the way God put us together is the way we should. We should figure out how to fix things. And if we lean into that design and that creation, which is physiology, we can figure out how to fix people long term. The idea that we need to give people a drug for something every single day. My goal is to make that not a thing. The typically with physiology, that's not what happens. So, you know, we do a lot of stuff to bring the physiology back together. We do DNA testing. We do lots of hormone testing. We do lots of MRI testing, muscle testing. We do all sorts of things to kind of figure out where we need to go back to original design.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:26] Now, we usually start everybody off with what's called the gold call. And so we'll sit down and say, what is it exactly you want? You know, you're like, Well, I want to lose 20 pounds fat. Cool. Let's walk down that road. You're like, Well, I have Lyme disease. Great. Well, let's not that out. If you go, I have 20 pounds of fat I want to lose, and I have Lyme disease. Great. Get that all knocked out. And a lot of times people go, I just want to be healthier. I'm like, that's awesome. That's a phenomenal goal. What does it mean to you? Like, well, I want more energy and I want to get better sleep. Fantastic. Cool. Great. And then we always have to go through and be like, Hey, I know you want to lose 20 pounds or I know you have this issue or that issue. We go through like, how's your family history on heart attacks and strokes? You know, like, it's pretty bad. But, you know, my cholesterol is going like, well, cholesterol, which has no bearing on this. So let's do the test that you should have had done with the calcium cards or the angiograms, the echocardiograms, the, you know, specific blood draws for, you know, inflammatory things inside the blood vessels. These are the things that we know help really kind of figure out what's up right now and how we're going to fix in the future. Sleep studies are fantastic for that as well, but there's lots of little things that we do to put the physiology back together that are different than medical doctors because, you know, medical officers are trained to match a symptom with a diagnosis and a diagnosis with a drug, and they're taught to manage and maintain disease, not rectify it.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:48] And I say a lot of negative things about the medical industry. And I want to make sure that I take this time and every time your chance to talk about how it's not the doctors, like the doctors are doing great things like knowing you got into medicine because they want to be a jerk. Like everybody got into medicine because they want to help people, the vast majority of them. So they're really there to help people and they're just given wrong information. So when I'm angry and I say mean things about the medical industry, I'm not talking about the doctors, you guys are going to say those doctors are great, human beings are great people. They're just given bad information. And I do believe that the NIH and the CDC and the FDA are not helping people as much as they should be. I think that they're helping the pharmaceutical industry a lot more than they're helping the individuals. And the reason I think that is like things like diabetes are super easy to fix. However, they would make like $120 billion a year for the medical industry. Pharmaceuticals and stuff like that, the hospital systems. And so no one's taught how to fix it. You know, statin drugs are the worst thing you can. But you're right, they do zero benefit for cardio cardiovascular health and they do massive damage to the brain and they do all sorts of other horrible, terrible things to you. But they make $100 billion a year as well. So the standard of care is going to be statin drugs for everybody forever. And that's just kind of where it is. You know, there's, you know, accessories don't work. We should be using psychedelics.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:04:10] You know, there's just lots of little things that, you know, physiology and the way your body works is running contrary to what the medical establishment is telling everybody and the medical establishment. It's going to keep people sick and make them, you know, spend money on pills, every pills and procedures every day as a recurring revenue model. And it's a great business model. It's terrible for people. And that's where a lot of my stuff comes from. So when you guys notice that I say things or you're angry or I got a soapbox about something, it's not your doc, it's the education, It's the information that's available to your doc that I'm angry about. And that information comes from the CDC, the NIH and the FDA. So, you know, if you if you're wondering like, well, how do I feel about that? How do you feel about for. Do you think she's a good guy? Do you think he's upstanding? Do you think he's not lying to everybody? Do you think that he's doing everything in his power to make sure people are getting healthy as fast as possible? Okay. He's in charge of the NIH. He was here for a long time. So if you're like, I think that guy's a shady dude who's out to make money. That's the guy who's in charge of our all or all of the nation's health care for the past 20 some years. 40 while he was there with Clinton. So he's back in the 80s, 90s, so all the way back to the Aids epidemic. That's when that's when Fauci really started doing everything. And, you know, he he told us that that Covid came from a bat when he knew that he made it in the lab. And he told us that Aids came from a monkey. So. It is what it is.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:05:47] So that's kind of where all of that stands comes from. You know, that's that's my probably my most polarizing piece. If you guys think that, you know, forcing the government or 100 personnel to make sure that we are all safe and as healthy as possible and they don't ever lie to us, we're not going to get along very well because I'm going to say things. You're going to think I'm a jerk. But if you think maybe it's possible that, you know, the pharmaceutical industry and the food manufacturing industry is not 100% on board with our health long term, and maybe the pharmaceutical industry is more concerned with profits than it is with people getting better, then we're going to be on some common ground here and there. So there's lots of that type of stuff. One of my favorite things to fix is I really like helping people get their bodies where they want to go. You know, I've spent I was a fat guy, spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to not be a fat guy, figured out in the process how to read metabolic biochemistry and really learn that stuff. That's how I found out the calories which are not are not real. And that, you know, and I've done a whole podcast on this where each individual macro, you know, sugars increase insulin function proteins increase glucagon function insulin stores, fat, glucagon burns, fat, which is what we do when you're doing a keto diet or a carnivore diet or you're doing a high protein diet or you're fasting, that's why you lose the fat. And so, you know, that's how GP's work. We use the abuse a lot. People, people get really scared about them because the people who have been using them in the past don't understand metabolic biochemistry.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:07:21] The muscle wasting the liver issues are not side effects. They are direct effects of that pathway and you have to understand how those things work. So when you use GP's your body quit. It inhibits the body's intake of sugar from outside the body and so it has to make its own sugar. It uses a process called gluconeogenesis to do this, which is where we take proteins. We denature them, we tear them apart, we turn them into sugar. That's literally how the process works. It's very detailed. I'll walk you through it if you really want to care. Nobody cares. Nobody's been like, Walk me through that pathway. That sounds fine, but that's how it happens. So your body takes proteins, terrorism apart, turns them into sugar. Your blood can only run on sugar, and that's why your body makes the sugar. The problem is, if you don't get the right amount of protein and or the right amount of digestible functional protein, what ends up happening is your body goes to the only other source it has for protein, which is your muscle tissue. And so it turns apart your muscle tissue. So you should not be losing muscle mass on JLP ones if your doctor knows what they're doing with them. So, you know, it's a protein testosterone function, it's an exercise function, like that's not that hard to deal with. And I can walk you through the other pieces. The liver part. Well, that should be very obvious that we're going to high liver function because guess what? Your body breaks fat down with bile and through the liver.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:08:37] So if you haven't been breaking a lot of fat down and you're supposed to be doing this much fat breakdown and you have somebody do this much fat breakdown and you don't give it any more nutrients, it's going to have a hard time coming up with the chemistry to get that done. And so we have bile issues, we have liver issues and stuff like that. So getting that stuff knocked out like, you know, method B6, increasing vitamin E, you know, bringing in, you know, usually we'll use Tadka or ox piles, the secondary bile to help break down the fat in it. There's lots of things that we can do for this, but those are all those things that are really important. You know, we use a lot of peptides, we use the small and I put them all in, which is my my favorite mix for growth hormone. And we use that to regenerate torn muscle tissue, to grow muscle tissue. If you're trying to build muscle mass, a lot of times we'll get women in and and guys who have nice sets of hair and they want to build muscle mass, but they don't really they don't want to lose their hair. They're worried about androgens. And so we'll put them on a base of testosterone, which is the healing hormone, which is a natural, completely natural function. Everybody's body's makes it usually we just don't make enough. And so a bunch of levels, obviously, we have enough. And then because some of the other androgens you know when and of are that any of them except for Deca will convert to DHT and that creates a problem with hairline.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:09:58] And so what we'll typically do is you know we'll use growth hormone peptides for either anti-aging or for muscle mass creation or for, like I said, regeneration, the healing of damaged tissue torn ligaments and tendons and stuff like that. It's been really, really beneficial. Rachel, my office manager, took a softball to the face that crushed her or her everything around here. So cheekbone, orbital bone, this whole thing, she'd have surgery and she had nine fractures in her head. And we used all of those those peptides to help regenerate and heal the nerves in her face so that she could smile again. She could move her eye again, and she worked great. So she's fantastic. So if you guys are having injuries, there's a lot of these things we can use BP 150, 7500. We use that a lot for ulcer. Light. We use that a lot of her brain issues. One of my one of my favorite things in the world to fix is dementia, because I get to work on all sorts of different things. As a neuro guy, it's super fun. But the way you walk that back is you increase the testosterone so they'll heal you, get them off any stat meds because that measure destroying the brain to begin with. We fill the body with cholesterol because again, your brain's made of cholesterol. And so you got to give it the chemicals it needs methylated, folic acid, omega three fatty acids, coke, you tend to create more ATP. And we do sleep studies. Make sure they're getting oxygen in the brain because oxygen super duper important. And then we change their diet so that we can get, you know, the the glycemic function right reset.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:11:28] So we had most of time we had to fix our diabetes, too, because, you know, you've heard that type three diabetes is Alzheimer's and dementia, and that's actually carbs and accurate. And so we got a fix for diabetes, which if you guys have diabetes or you have a level with diabetes, you don't want to have diabetes anymore, haven't come to the office, walk you through it. It's not the not the hardest thing in the world, but that's kind of the stuff that we do. We return physiology back to where it's supposed to be. We rebuild things with, you know, normal physiological function and we get everything back where it needs to be. So if you guys have goals, health goals, body goals, energy goals, we can always put those things back together. One of the things that I've learned as I've been going through this whole thing is how critically important the mental aspect of everything is. And so we've been working with that. I did a Ted Talk on replacing opioids with cannabis, and when my business partners give me grief afterwards and was like, Hey, if you're the pain piece, if you figure out this addiction issue, you got this whole opioid problem solved. So I figured out how to fix addiction. Psychedelics do a really good job, but psychedelics also break PTSD and depression. And so, you know, we've been bringing that piece. And the biggest thing we see with like gut issues is from a neurologic standpoint, when people get stressed out or they have past trauma, that's keeping their emotions pent up and what we call a sympathetic state, and it keeps the gut from healing. And so oftentimes we have to work on stress, psychological stress to reduce all those things.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:12:57] And so we have a team of people that we work with. I have a team of therapists that we work with. We do a lot of NLP for that and we use psychedelics for that and it's been fantastic. So if you have PTSD, if you have addictions, if you have those type of issues, you know, I would highly recommend you guys get a hold of the office. We can help kind of walk you through that. We can do it anywhere in the US. We do a lot of tell them and because we can help you find the psychedelics near you to get started with it. And it is a fantastic process. We've had a lot of success with it and it's really, really fun for everybody involved. When when we have these other issues, though, I always tell people we're not fixing a person. We're fixing a family because if Dad has PTSD or mom has PTSD, and it's greatly affecting the way they act by repairing that issue and resolving those those blocks, they can the anger goes away. They calm down, they can start sleeping again. The depression and the the the suicidal tendencies go completely away for a lot of these guys, men and women. So, you know, that's a really great thing if you guys have are having issues with that Let's walk through it and a lot of people aren't you know like, well you know I want to soldier I'm not a you know this and that meant a lot of significant emotional events are going to break you know divorce you know you know, having you know, losing loved ones, having rough childhoods, having rough managers and stuff like that. Like we all have things that beat us up emotionally that we're not dealing with very well. And that's what this is for.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:14:31] You know, like I said, we also work with a lot of therapists because mental health is super important. And so giving people where they need to go is important. I did some podcast with one of our mental health therapists. He's great as I'm Steve Scott. We used his clinic, one of the one of the people that works with him named Allie for an issue with my oldest son when he was younger, helped him kind of get things back together. So they've got something for everybody there. And that's kind of what we're trying to do is figure out how do we hook you guys up with the best health care? Like, you know, I'll do more podcast and stuff like that with different pediatricians and different surgeons and different people like that. So you guys can kind of get more of an idea of what's going on. And I recommend that you guys watch all the different podcasts with these different healthcare professionals and kind of get an idea of what they do and how they do it. It's it's really, really important that you guys get your team built properly. Whenever I have questions about pediatrics, I ask one of the two pediatricians that we have we have on the podcast and there's some there's some good stuff that's in there that you guys need to know how to figure out how to find your pediatricians and find your mental health care specialists all the way across.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:15:40] So if you guys have any other questions, you know, I love answering questions. Questions at Chalmers. Wanna start Gob? You can drop in in comments. You can do whatever you want to. And we answer those questions every morning. 745 on Fridays. But 745 in the morning I go live and about a 15 minute podcast and just whatever is kind of going on in the office, you know, answer questions, that type of thing. So tune in to that. It's all all in the social. Dr. Chalmers One, if you're going to pick one, I'd pick X because there's I can say more things on X that I can't on anywhere else. I got my social crushed when I came out and told everybody in 2020 how to fix Covid. When I was telling people that quinine and hyperbaric oxygen were we were using, we're having phenomenal success with it. That damaged my my social media for quite a while. So if you guys have any questions, if you guys need anything, you know, hit the office pillars of on a sitcom. If you guys want to walk through, you're getting healthier. You know, losing the way building the muscle hit us up or if you just have random questions about different things, all of the stuff that I talk about product wise, the vast majority of so that way are the stuff I talked about product wise is on our our store on Chalmers Wellness or pillars of Wellness dot com.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:16:56] A lot of the stuff in the market is not good. And the reason that we have this stuff is so that we know we can control quality because it doesn't come from my office and it doesn't come from my website. It's not my stuff. So if you find it on Amazon and you find it like, that's not, that's not it. The problem we have with Amazon is that there's a lot of counterfeits of plantation, counterfeit, lots of stuff rolling through Amazon. And we've seen it several times with supplements that were not real or, you know. That so. I wouldn't recommend buying supplements on Amazon, get your TVs and stuff like that, but I wouldn't buy your supplements there. You because again, if you guys have any questions for the software guy. We'll knock this stuff out and we'll get back to you. So thanks for your time.
