Episode 4235 │ September 26, 2026

Your body already built up immunity to whatever's "going around." So why does the story every year say it mutated into a super sickness again?

WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS

Scott Kesterson sits down with Brett Bashawaty, CEO of My Total Nutrition, to reframe seasonal sickness through Dr. Wallach's whole-body-health research — arguing that what gets treated as a mysterious outside invader each fall is actually the body's own elimination channels slowing down as sleep, diet, and activity shift with the season. Brett traces Wallach's twelve-year, 26,000-autopsy pathology work back to a 1936 U.S. Senate document warning that American soil no longer carries enough minerals to meet the body's daily needs, and builds the case for the 90 essential nutrients — 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 2 essential fatty acids — as the foundational raw material the body needs to run its own repair process, rather than reaching for something to override a symptom the body is already trying to communicate. The episode closes on reading the body's own signals — sleep trouble, digestive sluggishness, recurring aches — as specific, addressable nutritional gaps rather than problems to suppress, and a prayer thanking Brett for his time helping people take ownership of their own health.

KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED

• What did the 1936 U.S. Senate document say about American soil, and why does Brett argue that even eating organic food today doesn't solve the same underlying mineral deficiency it warned about ninety years ago?
• What are the 90 essential nutrients Dr. Wallach identified across a 26,000-autopsy study spanning 454 species — and why does Brett say the body needs all of them together, not a partial multivitamin covering a fraction of that list?
• Why does Brett argue that seasonal sickness is the body's elimination channels slowing down rather than an outside invader mutating each year — and what specific signals, like trouble falling asleep or waking at night, does he say point to a specific, addressable nutritional gap?
