The Dr. Chalmers Show Season #3, episode 22 - Is your immune more important after COVID?

We learned a lot of things about survivability during COVID. Some were bad and some were good. Telemedicine is about the only good thing that came out of COVID. What we learned from the science is that there may be several versions and we need to do our own research.

The following is an automated transcript. Please listen or watch the podcast for any questions.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:01] You know, there's a lot of bad things that COVID brought us, but there are some good things that COVID brought us as well and one of those things was a bigger focus on health and wellness and immune function.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:10] Now, there's a lot of really easy things you can do to really bolster your immune system, get your hormones where they're supposed to be. Including D3, D3 is not a vitamin it's a hormone. Your testosterone get all your hormones up where they're supposed to be. Get your nutrients in so that you can rebuild and regenerate and heal your omega three fatty acids, your, you know, your cholesterol and its your amino acids in make sure that you're getting all of your anti-inflammatory stuff in and cleaning the liver get your B vitamins in, you know, get those things in is that your body can actually function the way it's supposed to and it'll start rebuilding.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:46] One of the biggest things you can take in is hydrochloric acid as a supplement, most of us get stressed out in our guts, quit producing hydrochloric acid, which is there to clean our food and digest it. Hydrochloric acid kills viruses, bacteria, parasites, amoebas, and all those types of things.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:03] So if you know that you have stress or anxiety in your life, taking hydrochloric acid when you're eating is a great idea. The other fun thing about hydrochloric acid is that it breaks into hydrogen in chlorine, the hydrogen piece helps increase your PH, which is percent hydrogen. And as you're gets closer and closer to seven, the chances of cancer arterial sclerosis and things like that decrease.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:26] And that chlorine fraction will help your body make its own hydrochloric acid but that's also how we make white blood cells, the chief enforcer or the chief killer cell of our immune system. The thing that goes out finds viruses, bacteria, and kills them yeah, it's got chlorine that's what it uses. Basically makes bleach and bleach is the virus of the bacteria to kill it.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:46] So increasing your hydrochloric acid is a great thing to do, now be careful with that. You can't get the hydrochloric acid in your teeth so put the capsule or tablet your mouth, swallow it real quick otherwise that it's going to damage your teeth but it's a really, really important thing to take.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:01] Now, the other big piece is consuming enough water. Now, here's the thing People always ask well, how much should I drink? If your pee is clear your good, the easy way to do that is just be like, okay, I want to drink 100% of my body weight now. So £250 I mean, drink 250 ounces of water throughout the day not once throughout the day.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:19] Now, the thing that your your body actually does is it uses water like a dump truck. So you bring this clean water in and your body goes off and it's fantastic. It dumps all the waste that your body has into that water and then uses your urinary tract to excrete that water. The other thing you can do is you can use that water in your tissues you can bind all those nasty things and push it out through your sweat. And this is easy to show if anybody's ever drinking a bunch of gin and then went out and sweat a little bit the next day and all of a sudden you're like, Man, I smell just like gin. Yeah, your body's detoxing all that gin out of your body through your pores. So if you if your sweat stinks, it's probably because it's pushing out a lot of toxins. So we need to look at your diet we need to drink a lot more water and flush those toxins out. So the water is really, really beneficial as well.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:03:07] Now, here's probably one of the biggest things that people blow off all the time Sleep there is no drug, there's no supplements, there's no exercise, there's nothing we can do that replaces sleep. So get high quality sleep, Set yourself a bedtime, set yourself a wake up time. If your body understands there's a routine, it will start to mimic that routine and it'll start setting your circadian rhythm to that routine.
