McCollum Wellness Radio

Dr. McCollum reminds us of this critically important point — chronic inflammation creates chronic dis-ease. What is chronic inflammation? How is it linked with toxins in our food and environment? What does chronic inflammation have to do with chronic conditions and autoimmune diseases? Is there a simple way we can heal from these conditions naturally and effectively without relying on pharmaceutic...

Stem cells have the ability to develop into any type of cell. This is important when it comes to healing, say a bad knee, since these stem cells will turn into whatever kind of cell is necessary to finish repairing and rebuilding the knee tissues. Traditionally it was thought that in order to utilize stem cells for healing, they would need to be injected from an outside source into the body. Now h...

Our cell wall, also called the cellular membrane , is indeed a “brain” in its own sense. Every cell wall contains millions upon millions of receptors which function like “doors,” and each door is designed to let in a specific hormone. For example, each cell contains 40 million receptors just for estrogen alone. Hormones are vital in instructing the cell on what to do next. When our cell walls aren...

Choosing to be healthy is something we all want. Some of us wait and decide to make this choice later in life after we are already struggling and dealing with health complications. Others of us choose to do something about it today in order to prevent these health crises from arising in the first place. Where do you stand? What can you do today to ensure you will live a happy, healthy future tomor...

Dr. McCollum reflects on the power of our words, and especially one word in particular. That word is “maybe.” Being stuck in a “maybe” can be detrimental to our health since it freezes us from doing something to improve our well-being. Don’t let yourself get stuck in indecision about improving your health. Make the choice today to do something about it. In this episode Dr. McCollum offers practica...

The most deadly word in the world is “ maybe ,” because if you get stuck in a “maybe” you’re frozen. You can’t say yes, you can’t say no, and you get stuck in a period of indecision. If you find yourself stuck in indecision about a career path or relationship or anything, then Dr. McCollum suggests you take out a sheet of paper, draw a line down the middle, and write out the pros and cons of makin...

How many people do you know that may be living in quiet desperation without you or anyone even knowing? Surprisingly, it may be a lot more than you think. Oftentimes, people living in this state don’t tell anyone else what they are going through. Maybe it’s because they don’t want to share the burden or because they feel hopeless that anything will change. Showing a little care and extra effort by...

When we decide to live a healthy lifestyle, we are not only improving our life but the lives of everyone around us. As our health improves so does our mood and well-being, creating a ripple effect of positivity spreading outwards towards everyone we meet. Dr. Duncan McCollum reflects on his relatives celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary and a lifetime of shared love and happiness in their ma...

Since time immemorial fasting has been used as a tool to improve health and well-being. Nearly all religions worldwide have practiced some form of fasting as a tool for spiritual purification, and today, scientific evidence is revealing how fasting purifies and strengthens the physical body as well. In this 2018 episode with Carol Montgomery, Dr. Duncan McCollum reveals the many benefits of fastin...

Ketogenic dieting clears up brain fog by cleaning out the toxins and heavy metals that get stored in the fat cells in our brains. This is because this type of diet trains the body to burn up fats for energy. Additionally, by fasting we begin to activate our own stem cells to replace our older, weaker neurons with newer, healthier ones. Get in Touch with Dr. McCollum Contact his team (831-459-9990...

Combining a fat-based ketogenic diet with fasting is a powerful way to increase longevity and slow down the aging process. When we are producing our own stem cells through fasting, we are allowing our body to repair itself faster than it can degenerate. Get in Touch with Dr. McCollum Contact his team (831-459-9990 / info@mccollumwellness.com ) for more information about his 3-month True Cellular D...

Recent research in health science has discovered that the body actually begins to activate its own stem cells during prolonged periods of fasting. These stem cells then travel to areas requiring healing, allowing the body to repair and rebuild itself. Additionally, when we fast we activate a cellular process called autophagy . This is where our body scavenges for older, weaker cells, breaks them d...

Intermittent fasting involves training the body to burn fats instead of carbohydrates. Whereas carbohydrates get burned up very quickly leading to more food cravings more often, healthy fats get burned more slowly, providing a much more sustained release of energy over time. So then, with fasting and eating a diet rich in healthy fats we get a much more prolonged, steady flow of energy instead of...

Fasting is a great way to clean up the liver so that it’s not overly congested with toxins. As the liver is able to recover and repair itself during periods of fasting, it can now perform its functions more optimally, one of which being the production and regulation of cholesterol. Get in Touch with Dr. McCollum Contact his team (831-459-9990 / info@mccollumwellness.com ) for more information abou...

Fasting strengthens our gut and our immune system. When our body is constantly expending its energy on digesting our food, it has less and less energy to use on healing and restoring other parts of our body. So when we’re fasting, our body can now use this energy to improve our immune system and strengthen the body in a variety of ways. Get in Touch with Dr. McCollum Contact his team (831-459-9990...

Ketones are created from burning fats for energy, a very clean-burning fuel for the body. Whereas burning simple sugars for energy is a lot like burning coal—it’s very smokey with a lot of nasty byproducts that you don’t necessarily want to reuptake into the body. This is one of the many benefits to fasting, since it trains the body to make use of burning fats, or ketones, for a much cleaner and m...

After a period of time fasting, the body begins to stabilize blood sugars and improve insulin sensitivity, which can be especially helpful for people with diabetes . By becoming more sensitive and receptive to insulin produced by the body itself, there is less of a need for pharmaceutically produced insulin. This is very helpful for the diabetic wanting to reduce their insulin intake as well as fo...

What are the signs and symptoms that you have a leaky gut? Dr. Dan Pompa estimates that as much as 95% of Americans have a leaky gut or an unhealthy gut and don’t even know it. In this 2018 episode with Carol Montgomery, Dr. Duncan McCollum reveals what a leaky gut is, how to tell if you have one, what causes a leaky gut, what the effects of a leaky gut are, and how to heal it from the inside out....

If you’re going to spend your time, energy, and money on a detox cleanse, then make sure you do it right! If you’re wanting to detox after a lifetime of ingesting toxins, then short term cleanses simply won’t get the job done. Dr. McCollum highlights this important point, “So many cleanses pull things down to the intestines but never out of the body, only to be reabsorbed by the bile and recircula...

Chronic inflammation causes chronic disease. So then, what is causing the inflammation? Does having a leaky gut have something to do with this? As it turns out, a leaky gut allows all sorts of toxins to pass directly into our bloodstream that otherwise shouldn’t be there. These toxins then get spread around all of our cells, damaging our cell walls, and causing them to swell up and become inflamed...

When you take antibiotics to wipe out any bad bacteria, they are also going to kill off the good bacteria that are beneficial in keeping you healthy. So then, after a course of antibiotics the race is on to see which kind of bacteria repopulates your body first. Unfortunately, for most people the bad bacteria are quickest to repopulate leaving you worse off than before you took the antibiotics. A...

Our gut is very selective on what it lets out of the digestive tract and into our bloodstream. This is for good reason, since it ensures that anything toxic and harmful won’t make it into our internal, bodily environment. However, glyphosate —the most commonly used pesticide sprayed on our food and fed to conventionally-raised meats—actually breaks apart and destroys this safety barrier in our bod...

Is it possible that cases of depression and anxiety are generated by an unhealthy gut? Scientific research is discovering that, indeed, this is highly probable. So then, what are the implications for those who are taking SSRI’s and other drugs designed to mitigate the effects of these psychological complications? Will these drugs cure the root cause of the problem, or are they merely bandaging sym...
