Radio Show / Podcast – May 24, 2026
Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to healthy living Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Peptides, LifeWave Patches, Spore Based Probiotics, and the Microbiome [00:00:00] Intro & Health News Ed notes Target will remove artificial colors from all cereals within two months. Promotion of Chattanooga Fitness / Bodybuilding event on July 11 featuring bodybuilding legend Lee Haney; Ed training for his 4th year of competition at nearly age 69. Ed introduces a new olive oil at Nutrition World: Firma Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Tanzania). Comparison with Life Extension olive oil: Tested very high in anti-inflammatory polyphenols. New Tanzanian oil is about $10 cheaper while comparable in health benefits. Reminder of chronic inflammation as a root of many diseases. [00:04:00] Peptides, Educational Resources & Holistic Navigator Mention of peptide expert Noel Lawson, recently on the show. Brief explanation: peptides as specific amino acid chains that can influence healing, sexual function, fat loss, sleep, etc. Ed promotes his ebooks at TheHolisticNavigator.com, including: Immune system (prevention + “what to do when you feel sick now”). Oxalates and joint/muscle pain & stiffness. Sleep, oral hygiene, and how to use AI for health/fitness and weight loss. Clint mentions a large back catalog of podcasts on topics like leaky gut, bone health, pet health, brain fog, etc. [00:06:13] Segment Transition to LifeWave Patches Ed previews two guests for the day: Myra from LifeWave patches. Mary from Just Thrive (spore-based probiotics). [00:13:10] LifeWave Light-Activated Patches – Concept & Mechanism (Myra) Ed introduces Myra from LifeWave Key concepts explained: Patches are non-transdermal (no drugs/nutrients enter the body). They reflect the body’s own low-level infrared light back into the body. Inside the patch is a proprietary lattice of amino acids, salts, sugars, and water. This reflected light is tuned (patented wavelengths) to elevate certain peptides or affect specific systems. Elevates GHK-Cu (copper peptide), which is associated with “master cells” (stem-cell–like function) that can contribute to repair of various tissues. LifeWave has about 10 different patches, including: X39: flagship patch for overall regeneration, wound healing, energy, mental clarity, sleep. X49: supports performance, recovery, and bone density Placement & wear-time: Common points: back of neck at C7 or below the navel, often aligned with acupuncture points used in studies. For pain, you can place patches directly around the painful area (e.g., Myra using several patches around a sore knee). Typical protocol: 12 hours on, 12 hours off to avoid attenuation (body getting “used to” constant stimulation). Hydration and electrolytes (e.g., Celtic sea salt) recommended to support electrical signaling. Duration to notice effects: Most people notice differences within 30–90 days. General rule of thumb: 1 month of consistent use for every decade of age (e.g., ~5–6 months at age 50–60). [00:29:37] LifeWave Events, Website & Research Myra: LifeWave patches are intended to help bring the body back toward homeostasis, with the body doing the actual work. Ed notes there is published research on the patches (not just anecdote). Upcoming in-person event: LifeWave info session at Nutrition World Wellness Corner, June 27th , 10:00 am Resources: Website: WhyTheLight.com Myra’s contact: 423-362-7227 for questions. [00:34:37] Just Thrive Probiotics (Mary) Introduces Mary from Just Thrive, a highly vetted brand at Nutrition World. Introduces key concept: spore-based probiotics, which behave differently than standard probiotics. Spore-based probiotics: bacteria with a natural protective shell (spore coat). This shell allows them to survive stomach acid and pH changes through the GI
