Joe Rogan Experience #2262 - Dr. Mark Gordon

Joe Rogan podcast check it out the Joe Rogan experience trained by day Joe Rogan
podcast by
night all day good see you again my friend hey it's always great to be here it's
been a while
uh four years January 8th I know January 15th was it really yeah four years
geez yeah it's
been four years the last time you were here right uh correct yeah I think the
last two that was so
that was like right after a couple months after I moved here yeah yeah so
almost exactly four years
yeah crazy well waiting was great waiting waiting I mean the time four years
waiting to have another
chat with you because so much has gone on since uh last we met well tell me
what's going on uh where
do you want to start a z anywhere anywhere uh let's see you know the family's
expanding yeah
which is great all three daughters have uh been married and each has a grandchild
which is making
me feel old so I've ramped up stepped up my hormonal treatment to keep me on
edge because I want to be
a lot around a lot longer to take care of these kids or to be with the kids
they're just 16 months but
they're still fantastic unbelievable I love it that's great absolutely love it
but in the world that I work
in in the medical arena uh it's been expanding rapidly uh the new
administration has a part to play
in it which is great but even before that the number of uh results that we're
having the outcome from
uh TBI PTSD and what have you has been accelerating uh because of some of our
testing that we do as well
as our uh treatment that uh we've initiated that's changed since four years ago
since last time what have
added in the last four years well we've added a lot more nootropic uh excuse me
not nutraceuticals uh
natural products into our regiment uh you know I spent 16 years looking at the
science behind things
that can get into the brain and alter the inflammation that occurs in the brain
the whole premise of
everything that I've been doing for the last 30 days 30 years has been based
upon inflammation in the
brain and the inflammation is what stops all the chemistry and why we develop
anger and uh you know problems I
don't know if you saw the article uh which is called influence of media on the
mental health of america
which used to be called the trump derangement syndrome but I got so much
backlash from having
that title people wouldn't read it because of the title and it talks about how
constant stress from
the media echo chambers social media reading all this bullshit uh causes
cortisol to go up no doubt and
it shuts down a chemical that protects your brain called fractalkin and then it
starts dumping all this
inflammation and causes loss of serotonin so you become more depressed it
causes loss of melatonin so you
can't sleep generates another group of chemicals that induce depression and yet
essentially generates
this response in your body that prepares itself for a fight that never takes
place correct and then
you're always thinking you're about to get into some sort of a physical altercation
with the armed
enemy coming over the top of the hill vigilant states just like our army goes
through constant stress
exactly and and the thing the army and a lot of these people that you've worked
with is uh from ieds
and from blown through doors and stuff like that they get damage to their pituitary
gland you know we've
talked about it many many times in the podcast but I think one of the um misperceptions
is as you said
and I apologize for that is that we think it's all due to pituitary gland but
it isn't in the work that
we've been doing it shows that when you have inflammation in the brain
regardless of how it's
developed whether or not it's ied or slip and fall or as we've talked in the
past even wave runners see
ski doos or skiing or water skiing snow skiing right uh or going to the range
the 50 caliber gunners
what happens is it creates this inflammation that shuts off the ability of the
brain to regulate the
pituitary gland so you can do all the mris as they do at the va and they see a
normal pituitary gland
and says oh pituitary is normal you've got ptsd but there's no radiological or
neuro radiological
procedure that'll allow you to look at inflammation in the brain so they assume
right they can't find
any structural damage that it has to be all psychiatric sort of like when they
used to have to diagnose cte
after you're already dead correct right isn't that how they're doing it now no
i think they can scan
for it now uh there's a pet scan that can look for the tau protein is that what
it is yeah so it's uh
yeah tau proteins uh hyperphosphorated uh tau becomes these nfts these neurofibril
tangles
which is an interesting issue it's been part of my last year of deep dive
trying to find out why is it
that you develop cte or the symptoms relative to cte why is it that you develop
the symptoms
relative to parkinson's or alzheimer's or multiple sclerosis well it turns out
that the biochemistry
is all the same something called beta amyloid which is the hallmark for someone
with alzheimer's
disease and then these tau proteins hyperphosphorated tau proteins that they
call nfts that they circulate
around the blood vessels and they create this intense inflammation and that
intense inflammation causes
loss of blood supply damage to neurons and you develop it so we've had uh using
our protocol
we have our sixth case of multiple sclerosis that was totally put into remission
it took 90 days to put
them in remission it was a lieutenant yeah it's a video up on uh what's the
protocol that did that the
protocol is the nutraceutical that drops the inflammation and replacing the
hormones that are
deficient that protect the brain what is in the nutraceutical in the nutraceuticals
there is uh quercetin
you know about quercetin uh it's got uh epa eda uh ed dha from uh omegas it has
in it glutathione
and a seal cysteine it's got b12 um that's on one component of it the other
component has b1 b2
which deals with neural communication and then it's a pqq and coq10 pqq is a
form of coq10 it's a sister
and it's a hundred to a thousand times stronger but it's what it does it
increases mitochondrial
function i know you've had a lot of people here talking about mitochondrial
function and that's a
major piece in how to reverse things like neurodegenerative diseases and
improve mental
functioning i mean products like you have like alpha brain you know has a an
effect on improving
mitochondrial function and that's what you want to do that's a key so you have
to drop the inflammation
because inflammation causes mitochondria that produce atp it causes mitochondrial
dysfunction
so in all those neurodegenerative diseases mitochondrial dysfunction has been
ignored in the past
and you need to address it so pqq and coq10 are two very very potent when added
together they stimulate
mitochondrial ATP production and replication of mitochondria quercetin does the
same thing that's
why it's so important so quercetin you were you were explaining to me before
that it's an ionophore
correct it gets ions into the bloodstream better so it's when you consume it
with zinc right this is a paid
advertisement for better help life is kind of like a book and every new year is
the start of a new chapter
except in this case the pages are blank and you can write whatever the you want
maybe you're working
towards buying a new home maybe you want to learn how to garden or pick up
hunting or maybe you want
to work on your relationships however you want your story to play out it's
going to take work dedication
and a little bit of help even the greatest authors have an editorial partner to
bounce ideas off and
that's nothing to be ashamed about if you need some help living the life you
want therapy is always a
great place to start therapy is for everyone not just people who've gone
through a major trauma it can
teach you valuable skills like how to cope with stress how to communicate
better how to set boundaries
and more one of the best ways to get into therapy is better help it's entirely
online so it's easy to
get started and more affordable too and as the largest online therapy provider
in the world better help can
provide access to mental health professionals with a diverse variety of
expertise write your story with
better help our listeners get 10 off their first month at betterhelp.com jre
that's better help.com jre
but but that's one that's one of its functions but there are five functions
that it has of course it's amazing
it's an ionophore which is when we talked about covid and zinc it carries zinc
into the cell to shut down the
ability of the covid sars from replicating or any virus essentially well it
works with sars and it
works with influenza a and b works with rhino virus and enterovirus gut viruses
that you can get during
summer time so what i was just getting at is it's beneficial for people all
year round not just
absolutely people that think they might be getting covid absolutely so i take
500 milligrams twice a day
of quercetin and how much zinc with that 30 milligrams okay i take 30 and i do
that twice a day
i do that uh the quercetin twice a day but zinc because my levels are where
they're at i don't
put a lot of uh zinc in because zinc's involved in about 300 processes in the
body it's antiviral
that we just talked about it's anti-alzheimer's because it turns out that the
production of the
chemical called beta amyloid there's an enzyme that regulates it and it's zinc
dependent so if it's
working it's called a secretase it's called alpha secretase it's zinc dependent
beta secretase is not
so beta secretase takes and makes the beta amyloid that causes the alzheimer's
the inflammation
and with that inflammation you then start getting the same thing in cte
so in all these inflammatory conditions they have the same beta amyloid and
cause for cte the
hyperphospholated tau protein that we call not uh nfts neurofibril tangles
so they're all related so what quercetin does is it increases mitochondrial
replication in about
seven days doubles the amount of mitochondria intracellularly uh it helps
increase in the liver
something called igf binding protein 3 insulin-like binding protein 3. binding
protein 3 is always
looked at as being the carrier for igf-1 insulin-like growth factor growth
hormone turns on and delivered
the production of insulin-like growth factor which is the main below the neck
growth factor for our body
improves uh protein synthesis decreases inflammation too wow okay um a sidetrack
when you're talking about
beta amyloid and alzheimer's wasn't there a significant amount of fraud that
was exposed about uh alzheimer's
studies that put into question a lot of the uh ideas that people had about alzheimer's
wasn't that
something that happened recently well um in the train of uh thought on alzheimer's
you know they're saying
that it's due to the recessive genes well if you look at the real the studies
recently 95 of the cases of
alzheimer's disease appear to be due to trauma and aging trauma and aging only
five trauma like head trauma
head trauma because what happens is trauma stimulates the brain because of
inflammation to increase the
production of beta amyloid and it's because there's they found recently another
secretase what secretases
are are the enzymes that convert a protein called app alzheimer's precursor
protein and it's a long
protein and two enzymes go in and clip it here and clip it here and that piece
is beta amyloid that's the bad
stuff that's a beta secretase and a gamma secretase but they also have
something called alpha secretase
so if alpha secretase and gamma secretase cut this app it generates alpha amyloid
which is inert
not inflammatory so what did they find recently something called delta secretase
delta secretase
and gamma gives you beta amyloid so how do you generate delta secretase in the
body trauma aging
so that's why most of the cases of um of alzheimer's disease are inflammatory
based so what are the
things that i'm sorr
