DeepSummary
The podcast episode begins with Dave Asprey and Mari Llewellyn discussing the potential causes of Mari's acne, with Dave suggesting it could be due to systemic inflammation from certain plant-based foods high in oxalates, such as almonds, raspberries, chocolate, kale, and sweet potatoes. He advises Mari to eliminate these foods for two weeks to see if her acne improves.
They then delve into a detailed discussion on ozone therapy, which Dave explains has antimicrobial effects, wakes up mitochondria, and can heal infections that antibiotics cannot. He shares his personal experience with ozone therapy and how it helped alleviate his chronic fatigue syndrome caused by toxic mold exposure. Dave also recommends binding toxins with activated charcoal, bentonite clay, and potentially cholestyramine.
Towards the end, the conversation shifts to fertility tips, with Dave emphasizing the importance of reducing endocrine disruptors, ensuring adequate mineral levels, and optimizing thyroid function and hormone levels before conceiving. He also highlights the crucial role of omega-3s like DHA for fetal brain development and suggests consulting Dr. Ann Shippie for a comprehensive preconception program.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “If it's not something that's safe for me to swallow, I am not putting on my skin. So I'm really selective that way because the skin absorbs as well as the gut.“ by Dave Asprey
- “You should get a thyroid test, because this is for the man and the woman, by the way, both. If you have low thyroid, your energy thermostat is low, and that means it's harder to have the energy it takes to have healthy eggs and healthy sperm to have a baby.“ by Dave Asprey
- “You know, IVF is really challenging on the woman's body. Yeah, it's also challenging on relationships. I mean, all of my friends who've been through it, they just talk about these horrible mood swings. And it's not like you choose to have a mood swing. It just like your reality changes, right?“ by Dave Asprey
