Episode #117: Deuterium Depletion with Dr. T. Que Collins, PhD, MA, MS

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about deuterium and its impact on our health. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. T. Que Collins. T. Que Collins, PhD, MA, MS is a leading scientist when it comes to developing and applying nutrition and metabolic therapies to treat cancer in people and pets. He holds a PhD in Clinical Immunology, an MS in Oncotherapeutics, an MA in Experimental Pathology, and a BS in Poverty Health Care and Cancer Epidemiology. He is the Co-Founder and Principal Investigator at Cignature Health Metabolic Clinic now known as the Center for Deuterium Depletion.

Key Takeaways: What are hydrogen and deuterium? What symptoms and conditions are associated with elevated deuterium? Does deuterium create an environment that is hospitable to pathogens? What is deuterium depletion the basis of all functional medicine? What is the D-TERMINATOR testing, and what does it reveal? What functions in the body improve as deuterium is depleted? Does drinking water increase deuterium levels? What is the best type of water to drink? Can deuterium depleted water be made at home? What is the role of hydrogen water in a deuterium depletion discussion? What foods increase and decrease deuterium levels? Why is a higher fat diet helpful in depleting deuterium? Do supplements have high levels of deuterium? How might photobiomodulation support depletion of deuterium? Do specific breathing exercises have a role in a deuterium depletion protocol? Once deuterium levels are depleted, is a maintenance protocol needed?
