[0:15:39] Interview with Dr. Christy Fleetwood & Dr. Dearing
- Dr. Fleetwood’s journey: pharmacist → naturopathic doctor after seeing drug‑induced problems and experiencing her own unresolved illness.
- After less than a decade in pharmacy, she noticed disturbing patterns with drugs (e.g., antihypertensives, statins) and enrolled at Bastyr University to become a naturopathic doctor in the late 80s..
- Overview of her book “Diseases of the Drugs” / The Disease Reversal Project (cardio‑metabolic focus: high BP, cholesterol, type 2 diabetes).
- Emphasis on informed consent and lifestyle‑based disease reversal, not just drug management.
- Critique of statins, CoQ10 depletion, and over‑lowering cholesterol targets; possible links to dementia, ED, and fertility issues.
- Dr. Dearing’s shift from running drug‑centered clinics to using plant‑based diet and deprescribing in diabetes care.
- Mention of a practitioner‑only deprescribing guide for diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.

- Ed’s stance: prefers high‑protein, healthy‑fat, low‑carb with some healthy carbs; stresses clean, quality meats.
- Discussion of oxalates (from “Toxic Superfoods” by Sally Norton) and their role in joint and other issues; link to Ed’s double hip replacement.
- Mention of Casey & Calley (Vani) Means and their book “Good Energy”; pushback against medical dogma.
