DIALOGUE edit
Casual Friday
with Co-host, TLAT Alisa Profumo
Carl Lanore:
It wouldn't be Casual Friday without technical difficulties and Bill Gates.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
And Gwyneth Paltrow sometimes.
Carl Lanore:
Actually we had Dr. Will Cole on yesterday, and she wrote the forward for his book.
I liked him a lot. He's a real critical thinker and we hit it off well. He was much more forward-leaning than a lot of other people that call themselves functional medicine doctors.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
I tend to think functional medicine doctors are forward-leaning, at least the ones I've talked with.
Carl Lanore:
Leaning within the context of what is allowed to be forward-leaning in that category of medicine. Many of them don't believe in hormone replacement therapy.
Not everything can be done with food and supplements. Let's be honest.
One of the things we promised the audience we would talk about this week, Alisa, is what you do for your skin and for your hair, because you are now 61 years old, and you don't look 61.
TLAT Alisa Profumo: [00:03:27]
We mentioned that skin care is much more involved than just putting lotion on topically. It's more inside and out, I would say. Kinda like they say, “beauty is inside and out”. So is skincare. It's more lifestyle really, when you think about it. Today we're not going to discuss plastic surgery or cosmetics. I mean, we will talk about sauna and light therapy and things like that, but we're not going to talk about cosmetic surgery because we're about wellness and lifestyle.
Skin is the largest organ of the body. As you go through menopause and you lose estrogen, signs of aging will show up on your skin. If you have gut imbalances, that shows up on your skin in the form of eczema. Autoimmune disease, psoriasis, all show up on your skin.
Carl Lanore:
Let's talk about the whole notion of estrogen just for a second. Estrogen plays a profound role in not only skin, but in vasculature. Women tend to start to develop spider veins and even varicose veins when they start going through menopause, because estrogen drops out. Estrogen plays an amazing role in maintaining the health and functionality of the vascular system. Even in men, testosterone converts to estrogen and plays a role.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Also, as we age we start to start to lose volume in our face. We lose fat. That's like a trick that mother nature plays on us. We lose fat in our face and in our hands but you gain fat in your abdomen and your hips and your thighs and your arms. That's why I guess women start getting injections in their face or whatever, because of the loss of volume from fat.
Carl Lanore:
So doesn't estrogen play a role in collagen production as well?
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Yeah, I think so.Collagen makes up one third of the protein in the human body and as we age, we start producing less collagen. It seems like as we age, we produce less of everything. So wrinkles start to form, and joints and cartilages weaken. Women experience a dramatic reduction in collagen synthesis after menopause by the age of 60. Keep in mind, I'm 61. A considerable decline in collagen production is considered normal. I replace my colIagen. I use the Great Lakes collagen. I'll put it in my protein shakes. I take it with vitamin C because vitamin C will help your body to make it more bioavailable.
Carl Lanore: [00:08:14]
So let's talk about this idea of taking collagen. A lot of people think that they take collagen and it remains collagen until it gets into the place that needs collagen.
However, when you take collagen, it is broken down like any other protein in your gut. It's broken down to its component amino acids, but it is available to be reassembled by the body. But you need certain things to get it to reassemble. One of those is vitamin C. If you're not taking vitamin C at all, you are not going to see the best quality in skin, even if you're supplementing with collagen.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Didn’t you do a show about collagen and vitamin C?
Carl Lanore:
Yeah. That show was illustrating how to improve the elasticity, density, and structure of soft tissue, like tendons and ligaments. The author of the study gave people cheap old gelatin, and 60 milligrams of vitamin C, and had them jump rope. They did DEXA scans first and they measured the thickness of certain ligaments that are fairly large to begin with and easy to measure and then had them do this for 6 or 12 weeks. When they came back, those ligaments and tendons had a vast amount of growth. But here's the thing: if you're looking to improve connective tissue that is holding joints together and attaching muscles to your skeletal system, you must take the gelatin/collagen and vitamin C before you go work out because soft tissue is vascular. It has no blood vessels. It gets its nutrition from outside in what is known as the interstitial fluids. Those fluids bathe the soft tissue. They have the amino acids to produce collagen and vitamin C and that is absorbed like a sponge as you stretch and release and stretch and release these soft tissue connections. So you literally have to take it and then work out. I have to believe there's some good value to this idea. Even for skin quality. I would focus on taking my collagen and vitamin C before I train, because don't forget the skin does have blood vessels in it, but it's also stretching right? When you're training, you're stretching, you're pulling. So I think this is a good idea. Even for skin health..
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
You know Vitamin C is good for your skin because there are a ton of lotions and moisturizers on the market that are vitamin C. Applying it topically works, and taking it orally works. Other things that damage collagen are high sugar consumption, smoking, sunlight, autoimmune disorders, genetic changes, and of course, what we just discussed, the aging process. These all affect your collagen production. I had a friend who once asked me what supplement would I take if I only could take one on a private island. And I said it would be collagen.
I think that collagen is a major player in your skin elasticity and how it ages. Besides taking collagen, and you can get it from egg whites, meat, cheese, and cabbage. Vitamin C you can get from oranges of course, strawberries, broccoli. Just make sure you're eating organic. We'll talk about that later in the show. We're going to talk about the new dirty dozen. Copper and shellfish, red meat and vitamin A.
Carl Lanore:
Yes. Vitamin A is very important and very overlooked. And I'm not talking about carotenoids. I'm talking about active retinol, active vitamin A. It’s very important. Do not ignore that.
I have a different opinion of sunlight and SPF. If you're looking to improve the quality of your skin, then sunlight may not be the best thing. There's no doubt that sunlight does do some damage to the skin. I think this is where the opportunity for light therapy units comes in. I’m a huge advocate of sun, as you know. I stay tan as often as possible, and I have some really deep crevasses in my forehead and all the signs of sun damage. I'm not worried about my skin. I'm worried about my overall health. I think that sunlight is a give-take kind of thing. I think that some sunlight is good. I don't like SPF. I'd rather see you wear some type of clothing that allows you to get some sun, but filters it out, without slathering chemicals and micro-sized pieces of metal like titanium on your skin. There was a study done five or six years ago where within minutes of applying sunblock, titanium oxide was detectable in the blood.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Even if you're in the shade, you still get some sunlight, right?
Carl Lanore:
Absolutely. Get under the cabana. I love laying under the cabana and having the guy bring me cocktails.
TLAT Alisa Profumo: [00:15:18]
You mentioned light therapy. Some of the benefits of light therapy are that it smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Do you have a picture of the Celluma?
Carl Lanore:
Yes. We've been experimenting with the Celluma and I am really impressed with this unit.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
It reduces inflammation. I have one of these units. It improves acne and scars. It prevents breakouts by killing the acne-causing bacteria. It promotes circulation. It stimulates collagen production. And it brightens the skin.
Carl Lanore:
This morning when we woke up, I was saying, oh, I've got to do this today. I've got to do that, it’s just so much work once you get older, to maintain your health and resilience of your body. Alisa joked and said, yeah, that's why celebrities always look so good because they have cooks, personal trainers and money. Their job is self care.
But the reason I'm saying this is there's no one thing that Alisa does that is the reason her skin looks so great. It's all the things Alisa does. There's no way for me to say, ‘well, it's this or it's that’ because it's the culmination of all the things she does that makes her skin look so beautiful. And that includes diet. That includes like the Celluma unit. That includes the collagen and vitamins. It includes everything, even creams and lotions that we'll talk about in a second.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Right. So yeah. I like the Celluma unit and it is fairly affordable too.
Carl Lanore:
Yes. it's easy to travel with too.
TLAT Alisa Profumo: [00:17:22]
The sauna is great for your skin health because you sweat out toxins. I know that not many people use the steam saunas anymore. I like the steam saunas, but the dry sauna, we have an infrared sauna, which is nice to have at home.
Carl Lanore:
The only problem with the steam saunas is where is that water coming from that is vaporizing and then atomizing and that you're inhaling. As a minimum, I have to think that they should have a water purification system that removes the chlorine and other things. Think about the process of distillation, right? When they boil water, the steam carries off impurities. Well, you're literally breathing in those impurities in a steam room.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
If you're having a facial done, sometimes they use those little oxygen machines and the steam machine. So, they have chemicals in those.
Carl Lanore:
I mean, unless the unit they have has a filtration component that filters the water before it's turned into steam. Of course, that's not as bad because they're aiming it onto your skin. You're not inhaling it while you're sitting in the steam room.Water steam has things in it that are light enough to leave the water and become atomized.
Absolutely.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
So maybe the dry sauna is the best. I guess people with rosacea and atopic dermatitis shouldn't use the sauna?
Carl Lanore: [00:19:06]
Those are autoimmune disorders. I don't know if that agitates them.Kaleed says that the vitamin A should be included for skin collagen production. I think that he's right about this because vitamin A offers the ability to differentiate STEM cells. Without vitamin A, you don't have STEM cell differentiation. So that's a good point.
Rosacea is from the gut. When you see people who’s faces are constantly red, they look like they're overheated all the time or with women, their skin gets red and shiny.
It gets this waxy look too. That's from the gut. That's completely diet. When you look at people that suffer from these types of disorders, you find that they eat a lot of sugar, a lot of simple carbohydrates, a lot of starches. They're feeding bad bacteria in their gut. Keep in mind, everything that shows up on the skin is not from the skin.
So when you break out in hives, I'm not talking about contact dermatitis or anything like that, right? That's like poison Ivy, poison Oak. That's different. But I'm allergic to strawberries. When I eat them, I break out in hives. It's because of what the strawberries are doing in your gut. And these poisons are trying to get out of your body and exiting through the skin and they're causing a reaction in the skin. So if you are somebody who has rosacea and you can't get rid of it, and your doctor's giving you all sorts of creams and stuff like that, start to look at your diet. I predict that if you did an elimination diet, like the carnivore diet, right? Eggs, chicken, fish, you know, just meat, no vegetables, nothing that grows out of the ground. No pasta, no starches. I predict you'll start seeing it get better in a couple of weeks. Then you stay on that for a couple months and then you can start adding things back in and then you'll go one day, "Oh my God. My skin is all red. It's that, that I eat all the time that I love”.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
So there's a new term I don't know if you're familiar with: the gut-skin axis. You know how they have the gut-brain axis. Well now they're talking about the gut-skin axis. Scientists have found links between gut health and skin issues such as eczema, acne, and rosacea, as you just mentioned. There's more studies that show where there's gut inflammation, there is skin inflammation. People with acne and rosacea are 10 times more likely to have gut issues and 34% of people with irritable bowel syndrome show skin manifestations.
Carl Lanore:
Yeah. This just proves my point. Now here's an interesting question. Carmela says chronic hives can be caused by low estrogen and hypothyroid. Chronic hives are different though. And I would argue yes and no. And here's why. Estrogen affects the diversity of the gut microbiome. We know this. Hormones actually cause the microbes that inhabit your gut to change. Some of you don't have enough estrogen. There are certain microbes, that are actually estrogen-dependent, that disappear.
But the bottom line is this: regardless of whether you have to look at your hormones or your diet, hives all come from inside the body, unless you've come in contact with poison Ivy, poison Oak, or something like that. You’ve got to look at your diet. You’ve got to look at how your body is functioning from the inside to address the hives that are showing up on the outside. I very strongly feel that.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Well, it says here that the skin is a great barometer of what's going on inside the body. If your skin is irritated and inflamed or congested, chances are high that there may be imbalances in your gut.
Carl Lanore:
I don't want to miss that. I want to talk about that real quick. If the liver starts doing a poor job of getting certain toxins out of your body, like we see this in people who are alcoholics. Alcoholics get this sallow yellow color to their skin and you can actually smell that sour smell coming out of their skin from the un-metabolized alcohol that's not being excluded. It’s just staying in the blood. All that skin manifestation- the color of the skin, the odor of the skin- is all coming from inside the body. The liver’s inability to get the alcohol out any longer.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
So, I have to mention really quick that omega-3 fatty acids for skin health also might be something that you need to include into your supplementation. There are studies that show that it plays a critical role in normal skin function and appearance. Omega-3 fatty acids supplementation are effective means of delivering EFA’s to the skin and systemic circulation. So that cannot be overlooked either. And just getting the omega-3’s from fish or from your diet as well.
Carl Lanore: [00:25:45]
One of the things that isn't discussed when we talk about skin, but it should be, is insulin resistance. When you become insulin-resistant, blood vessels, small vasculature in the skin, start to shut down. And as a result, you start getting dry skin all the time. We see this especially in people who have had type two diabetes for five, six, seven years. Their skin starts to crack because there's no nourishment making it to the periphery of the body any longer. This can all be reversed two ways. Obviously you can address your insulin resistance very quickly. The other thing you can do is get in a sauna more regularly and help those blood vessels have a reason to open back up. But insulin resistance should be discussed when we talk about the aging of the skin.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Speaking of dry skin, Carl, you did a show a while back on the effects of PQQ and skin health and dry skin. If you supplement with PQQ, it helps also with the dry skin. I'm looking at a study right now on PubMed- “Effects of Orally Administrated PQQ Salt on Dry Skin Conditions”. And it says that the results suggest that oral intake of PQQ improves skin conditions in both female subjects with dry skin and in mice with a compromised skin barrier function.
Carl Lanore:
Yeah. It's because it improves the mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondria make cells function. It all comes down to cellular function. Everything, whether it's your heart, your kidneys, your liver, or your skin. So that's a really good point.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Right. So I supplement with the PQQ also. So I was supposed to tell a story…
Carl Lanore: [00:27:38]
So your mother who was a cosmetician or cosmetologist, like my mother was as well, by the way, told you something when you were a very young girl about soap.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Oh, well, it wasn't soap. So I was allergic to soap when I was very young. I've not used soap on my face since before the age of 10 years old. I had started getting dry patches on my face and my mother took me to the doctor and he told her that I needed to use Neutrogena. But we couldn't afford the Neutrogena soap. So she would just have me use like other things, like Noczema, and things like that. And so I've never used soap on my face since I was a young child. But when I was in my early twenties, she sat me down and had a discussion with me about taking care of my skin. And it was funny because she worked for Walgreens in a cosmetic department. She had a little packet and it had trial sizes of L'Oreal products.
And she said, here, this is yours for free. You don't have to pay me for it. But it was just, you know, like an eye cream and a cleanser and a toner and the whole system to take care of your skin. And I was probably 20 or 21 at the time. So she was very emphatic about taking care of your skin. And I saw her at night doing that as well.
She was a good role model. She had pretty skin too. So I think some of it may be genetic.
Carl Lanore:
I think so. Cause she looked pretty good at, unfortunately she passed away at 60. Yeah. So, we’re studying more of the effects of anabolic steroids on skin glands, especially the indirect effects caused by insulin resistance, et cetera. Carmella wants to know, and I don't know if we could do this today, how, why, and when did you get started training? You did start training at a very young age, didn't you?
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Well, I was a cheerleader. So I was into gymnastics somewhat; not like Natalie was, but I started training in the gym. Because all of the women in my family have autoimmune issues, and men too. It's very rampant in my family.
Carl Lanore:
Rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's disease, more specifically.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Hashimoto’s, lupus, all of the autoimmune diseases. Asthma. You name it, somebody in my family has it. And so I just started trying to figure out ways to prevent myself from going down that same path. And we can make that a whole other show.
Carl Lanore:
When you first started training, there were really no girls in the gym. You were in your early twenties and the guys were probably wondering ‘what the hell is she doing here?’.
TLAT Alisa Profumo: [00:30:24]
Right. I mean I'm 61. So that was quite a long time ago. 40 years ago. So anyway, I did it to prevent myself from getting sick in the future and it's served me well, I think. Knock on wood. So anyway, we were going to talk about cleansing your skin just for a minute, because I want to talk about how the pH of cleansers matters. Believe it or not. So studies demonstrate that a high pH, pH 10 solutions, even in the absence of surfactants, can increase the stratum corneum swelling and altered lipid rigidity, thereby suggesting that cleansers with a neutral or acid pH close to the strata corneum normal, which is 5.5, may be potentially less damaging to the skin. I think that's important for people. I use a French product, it’s like a milk cleanser and it doesn't even lather. It's real mild. And that's what I cleanse with now. Just make sure that when you're cleansing that it's normal; the pH is 5.5. Also they say that you shouldn't like scrub your face. You should pat it. If you've ever had a facial done, this is what they do when they're giving you your facial. They just pat it. And then so there's a difference between a hydrator and a moisturizer. So a hydration would be like a hydronic acid. They cause your skin to absorb water. And then a moisturizer is more like the retinols and the vitamin C’s. So what I do is I use a vitamin C at night before cleansing, going to bed and I use a toner. They say you don't necessarily need one, but I use one. And then the hydronic acid, which has a lighter coverage. I use that in the daytime.
Carl Lanore:
So the hyaluronic acid is going to attract more moisture into the skin. Do the moisturizers help kind of seal the skin? So the moisture that's in there stays put.
TLAT Alisa Profumo: [00:32:47]
Well that’s an occlusive moisturizer. If you've ever heard of the term occlusive, that's like the petroleum jellies and Aquaphors and petroleum jelly-based products basically. And mineral oil, that’s one. The problem with the occlusive moisturizers is according to the environmental working group, they’re really bad for you. I just read an article about Nicole Kidman. I think you might have a picture of her. She has really nice skin, but she uses Aquaphor. She's 53 years old. She uses La Mer. I wish I could afford that, but I think it might have some questionable ingredients in it. But yeah, she said she uses Aquaphor and that's an occlusive moisturizer. That's supposed to be really bad.
Carl Lanore:
So what people need to understand about petroleum jelly is that it actually causes a rebound in the moisture in the skin. So my daughter Taylor had eczema at a very young age and we spent more money on Aquaphor, and Eucerin cream and all these other products. The aquaphor is just basically petroleum jelly. It's like 80% petroleum jelly. When you rub it on, the skin is very, very greasy. Well, when it wears off, the skin becomes extra itchy and I can prove this to anybody who's ever used Chapstick. Chapstick is made out of petroleum jelly with a scent and a flavor. Well, you know that once you start using chapstick, you can't stop. Because if you just decide to stop, your lips get cracked so bad that you have to go get the chapstick and use it. Chapstick is actually habit forming because it's actually doing the opposite of what you want. It's not moisturizing your skin. It's not helping your skin hold and retain its moisture. It's actually sapping your skin of moisture and replacing it with this gooey stuff that makes you feel like your skin feels better, but then once it wears off your skin is parched. And that's why anybody who's ever used Chapstick, now that I'm talking about it, once you start using it, you can't stop. There's people who've been using chapstick for 15 years because they can't stop. They'll let their lips dry out.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
That's interesting. So the creme de La Mer, the 16.5 ounces, is $2,475.
Carl Lanore:
And she probably goes through one of those a month.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Like we said earlier, the celebrities age well, because they can.
Carl Lanore:
Right. Exactly.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
So anyway, Nicole Kidman was talking about the type of sun protector she uses. I don't use foundation on my skin. I use a tinted moisturizer. It's a lot thinner and it doesn't clog the pores. It does have a little bit of a sun protector in it. And so when I go into the sun, that's all I use. I think it's a 15.
Carl Lanore:
Right. But then there's the whole discussion that Environmental Working Group talked about. And we talked about it on Casual Friday, probably 8 or 9 years ago. And that is that on average, a woman puts like 256 different chemicals on her face a day.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Not just her face, her body too. The hair and the skin and everything. Yeah. So Khaleed says collagen with hyaluronic acid works great on skin, keeps your skin youthful. A few articles suggest using collagen with magnesium. Carl, you mentioned magnesium the other day.
Carl Lanore:
Yeah. Magnesium is magic. It really, really is. In fact, I think that most of us need some more magnesium. If you're not eating a really big diet, if you're not consuming a lot of food every single day, which most of us, we’re starving ourselves for one reason or another. I think magnesium is very important.
TLAT Alisa Profumo: [00:37:05]
I think so too. Well, we can't forget about sleep. I can tell a difference in my skin and everything, how you feel, how you work out, but if you don't get good sleep, then you're not going to have radiant skin. If you don't hydrate with drinking lots of water, you're not going to have radiant skin. And avoiding alcohol is a big one too, because alcohol dries your skin out.
Carl Lanore:
You could always tell people who drink a lot. They get that waxy fine line skin. And that's what you're talking about. It dries the skin out.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Also, they say if you sleep on a silk pillow, it's gentler on your skin. You don’t believe that?
Carl Lanore:
Well, you sleep on the back of your head. I mean, when does your face ever touch your pillow?
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
It doesn’t with how I sleep, but some people do.
Carl Lanore:
Alisa sleeps like the dead. She lays down on her back, her little head falls right into the pillow. And once you wake up in the morning, her little head is right in that pillow.
Right? She sleeps virtually motionless. Except if she has a bad night's sleep, then it’s different. But on average, she wakes up right where she sleeps.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Yep. So anyway, the good thing about the Environmental Working Group is that you can go there and they have a skin deep database and you can type in your products that you're using, and it will give you like a score from 1 to 10, 10 being the worst. And they also have the EWG verified products that will help if you're curious about the chemicals in your products. And I know Sephora now has a clean line. You can go to their website and see what their clean line of products are. So that helps out.
Carl Lanore: [00:38:55]
Do we want to talk more about EWG and the clean 15 and the dirty dozen now? So here is the new clean 15. So these are foods that you don't have to buy organic. Avocados, sweet corn, pineapple, onions, papaya, sweet peas (frozen), eggplant, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, kiwi, cauliflower, mushrooms, honeydew melon, and cantaloupe. You don't have to buy those organic because they are either not sprayed or not heavily sprayed. Is that right?
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
That's correct. Did you go over to the dirty dozen Carl? Okay. Strawberries is number one. It replaced apples. Apples was number one last year. Spinach, kale, collard mustard greens are number three. Nectarines, apples, grapes, cherries, peaches, pears, bell and hot peppers, celery, and tomatoes should all be eaten organic. Interestingly I read an article yesterday about raisins. We don't think about raisins when you think about organic or not organic.
Carl Lanore:
well, we buy organic raisins as a rule, but that doesn't matter.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Well, grapes are on the list, right. So you have to buy organic grapes. So when they process the raisins, they use a fungicide on them. And I guess it helps to prevent like pests and things. On average, each session sample that EWG tested, there was 13 pesticides and one sample had 26 pesticides on the raisins. The bottom line is raisins are the dirtiest produce commodities on the market. And even some organic raisins are contaminated. Basically they said, if you don't need to eat raisins, then don't eat them. And definitely don't feed them to your children.
Carl Lanore:
The problem with raisins is the grapes may be grown organically, but when they dry them out because of the high sugar content and the temperature and the moisture that the grapes are giving off, as they become raisins, it attracts funguses and mold. So they have to use something. Otherwise, if they were truly not sprayed with anything, they'd be fuzzy when you get them, they'd have mold and fungus on them. So they spray them with something. Even the organic ones.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
So, yeah, I guess raisins, you shouldn't be eating them.
Carl Lanore:
I love raisins and oatmeal. I love raisins for a lot of reasons, but I'm not going to be eating them anymore.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
The EWG suggests using prunes instead. Only 16% of conventional prunes tested positive for two or more pesticides, compared to 99% of conventional raisins and 91% of organic raisins tested positive. So they're saying just replace them with prunes. Carl, what are you smiling for?
Carl Lanore:
Because prunes make you poop.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
So the last thing I want to mention in regard to the EWG and the dirty dozen is they did a test of citrus fruits, clementines, Mandarin oranges, grapefruits, oranges, and they peeled the oranges and tested the inside of the fruit. And they came back with hormone disrupting fungicides on them.
Carl Lanore:
Interesting.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Okay. So you have to buy those organic, even though they have the skins on them, it doesn't really matter.
Carl Lanore:
We’ve talked about this before. It's idiocy to think that you can spray an entire crop with a pesticide and then water the crop, and not think that the pesticide is getting into the dirt and into the roots and up into the flesh of the fruit. This idea that, oh, no, just wash it, just peel it. You're fine. It lacks any critical thinking. Of course it's getting into the root system and into the flesh of the fruit, to vegetables, everything.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
There was a study done in 2015 in the American Journal of Pediatrics and citrus fruits were the fourth most consumed fruit by American children and youth ages two to 19. So that's a big concern if they're not eating organic.
TLAT Alisa Profumo: [00:45:51]
So I want to talk about Bill Gates for a few minutes. Do you have the picture of Bill Gates? Can you put that up?
Carl Lanore:
He's only 65 years old. I don't want to take health advice from this guy. First of all, he looked like a turtle on the left. Doesn't he look like a turtle with the neck and the chin disappearing?
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Well, he's 65. And I understand that he probably has had a more stressful life than what we've had.
Carl Lanore:
Come on. He's a billionaire. He doesn't have any stress in his life. In fact, he's so preoccupied with starving the rest of us and blocking the sun and every other stupid idea that comes to his little brain. He has no stress in his life, but he's an example of a guy who knows nothing about health. You just have to look at him and see that he looks like he's in his 70’s.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Of course we talked about him last month and how he is suggesting that everyone in the wealthy countries should be eating synthetic meat instead of beef. Have you ever taken a look at the ingredients in synthetic meats? I have not. Artificial flavors, bleached wheat, flour, blue number 1, canola oil, caramel color, carrageenan, copper sulfate, corn oil. And the list goes on and on. Palm oil, propylene glycol for red number 3.
Carl Lanore:
Propylene glycol is antifreeze. Just remember that. When you're sitting at the airport on a cold winter day in Chicago, and they're trying to dice your plane so you can get off the ground. That's propylene glycol that they're spraying on the wings.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Soy proteins, sugar, TBHQ’s. There's several in here that I can't even pronounce. Yeast extract. Why would you eat that instead of eating beef?
Carl Lanore:
Not to mention that beef consumption in America is a smaller segment than fruits, vegetables, dairy or all three combined.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Exactly. Why are they picking on beef for climate change?
Carl Lanore:
It's all about controlling the food supply. That's what this is all about. What's really funny. I’ve got to stop. So right now there are people in America going it'll never happen to us here. We're looking at the same things that happened to the people of Venezuela right now. Everything that's happening here happened there already, but people here are going, ‘but not America. No, it will never happen to America”. Cause somehow magically the government won't screw us. The government has been screwing us since there was government. And those of you who think the government has your best interest at heart are fools. You're actually an idiot. So the idea that, oh, it won't happen here. This is exactly what happened in Venezuela. Now the Venezuelans have to go to garbage cans to look for food because there's no food available anymore. Wake up, man, wake up. They're at it again. But they're just doing it here in the United States. And I gotta be honest with you. People get pissed off at me, but Joe Biden is part of the problem. He is a puppet for the corrupt government and we're watching our country go down the tubes and everybody's going well, but we just have to last 4 years. Dude, they just stole the election. They're going to steal every other election. This isn't over in four years. Oh man. Frustrating time.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Burger King and White Castle are now serving Impossible Burgers and Beyond Burgers. With all these, why would anybody eat that?
Carl Lanore:
Because they're woke and they're gonna follow the crowd. Listen, anything that crowd is doing, don’t do it. Look at the crowd, how unhealthy and horrible they are.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
So yeah, the propylene glycol is an odorless colorless liquid used in e-cigarettes and also in antifreeze.
Carl Lanore: [00:50:21]
We forgot to mention that. We forgot to mention two products actually. The first one is the fact that the GHK-Cu that was talked about for skin health in the last show I did with Dr. Betsy Yurth and Suzanne Turner and Erika Schwartz, they all mentioned GHK-Cu for skin quality. And there's a product that we talked about on the show a couple months ago. It was an alternative to Botox that Tailor Made Health sells and it has GH KCU in it. But there's also another product that was actually mentioned specifically by I believe Dr. Suzanne Turner, that she prescribes to her female patients. And we are actually talking to them today. They may become a sponsor. They actually reached out to the show and it is called And so these are two products, if you're a woman or a man who want to harness the benefits of the copper peptide GHk-Cu for skincare, you should look at them.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
So I guess there are researchers who are looking at the methane output of cows’ digestive systems and they're looking to feed them some seaweed.
Carl Lanore:
Yeah that's right. Because cow farts ended up being a bust. So now they go in after the cow burps, think about that.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Why are they picking on cows?
Carl Lanore:
It's easy because a lot of people are stupidly carrying the anti red meat message that the government and the mainstream media is feeding us, no pun intended. So it's easy. Well, the cow farts didn't work. Okay. Well, they burp. Let's go after that. Like we have to get rid of cows and beef. We have to get rid of it. That's what this is all about. So now they're going to talk about cow burps.
TLAT Alisa Profumo: [00:52:21]
Someone sent me an article that I have to mention about Bill Gates. This one I thought was satire, you know, like The Onion, but it's not. “Could Dimming the Sun Help to Cool the Earth”. Bill Gates wants to spray millions of tons of chalk into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight and slow global warming. But critics fear it could be disastrous. Well, they're going to do it this summer in Sweden. They're going to do a test of it. We'll see a test balloon launch the summer in the town of Karuna. It will send two kilograms of chalk into the stratosphere. 12 miles above the Earth's surface. Scientists will then monitor what the dust particles interact with in the atmosphere. This will be fed into computer models to predict…
Carl Lanore:
Yeah, I get it. So to predict what would happen if we cover the whole globe with chalk? Bill Gates is crazy. You know, he has Parkinson's disease. Do you know a symptom of Parkinson's disease is early onset dementia? Yes. And paranoia. And what is it when you have a delusions? He's crazy. He's a crazy man with money. If he was broke, we'd all say he's crazy, but because he's so wealthy, we just think he's extravagant. He's crazy.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
Their idea is to block out some of the sun's energy to cool down the earth. Think of what's going to happen…
Carl Lanore:
This is going to backfire. And once it's up there, it's going to stay up there.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
But the problem is, they’re going to do it and we can’t stop them.
Carl Lanore:
2 kilograms is not a lot. It's a very small amount. So thank God for that. Governments should tell this guy, sit down, Bill. Shut up and sit down.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
What does that lead to? Just like Carmela just put up here that their gyms just opened today in Quebec and like, that’s been a year.
Carl Lanore: [00:54:44]
Yeah. Do you remember? It was 15 days to slow the spread. Then it was, we won't need masks. Fauci himself said that. Well, no, we won't need masks. Then it was six foot distancing when not wearing a mask. Then it became wear a mask all the time. Now it's wear two masks. What people aren't paying attention to, and this is the problem today because we have stupid people that vote, what people don't realize is every time a governor or government said, okay, everybody needs to wear masks. Now yet the rate of infection and the rate of death increased, we should have seen a drop. Oh, it's working. Keep wearing that. And they didn't care that it wasn't working. They told you where to a mask. When you're by yourself, in your car, they tell you wear a mask in bed. Oh, you shouldn't even go out. Look at California. They've been closed down for the whole year. And they have the highest rate of infections. What they're doing doesn't work. But the people are so freaking stupid that they just want to be part of the crowd. Like I said before, don't follow the masses. The masses are stupid. They all have diseases.They're idiots, but they're following it anyway because they want to be popular on Instagram and if you get your vaccine, you can come to Krispy Kreme every day and get one of our crappy, horrible donuts every day for the rest of the year. It's like a dog, right? Sit boy, sit. Okay. Here's a treat. People are stupid today. I'm sorry. The population is being threatened because of the stupid people that occupy the population. You think we lost a lot of listeners?
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
It's going to look like Idiocracy.
Carl Lanore:
He's not a genius. He pays to be on all these new shows. They don't bring him on as an expert. Well, let's see what Bill Gates thinks about this. He pays to get on those shows and use those shows as platforms, CNN, MSNBC, all of them. He paid them.
TLAT Alisa Profumo:
That's all I got.
Carl Lanore:
A new study has been published that shows that anabolic steroids lead to advanced aging of the brain, but conveniently they lumped everything into one sentence, anabolic steroids. We're going to get the authors on the show. I want to know, because I already know trenbolone has been linked to advanced aging of the brain, but I never thought testosterone does. But because they conveniently just said anabolic steroids, I'm going to have the authors on the show and I'm going to challenge them. Which anabolic steroids did you study? How did you study? Was this a review of existing literature? And are you saying that testosterone leads to brain aging? I’m sure they're not going to say testosterone leads to brain aging. So it's going to be interesting.
Bars and restaurants are still not open. And meanwhile, your genius prime minister just gave $180 billion away for something stupid. Meanwhile, the people in Canada are struggling for the past year. He just gave $187 million away or billion. I forget what it was. Some ridiculous amount of money to some organization. Because he wants to be another woke idiot. He's another woke idiot. Yes, definitely. I know trenbolone has been studied and has been shown to produce kind of dementia-like effects, but I don't think that's true of everything. That's considered anabolic. All right. That's it. Great show. Thank you so much, Alisa for the hard work because you do a lot.
