Dr. Diane Kayser
It's something that many people are seeking right now, but they're not getting what they're looking for. When they go see a conventional doctor and they're like, I know that something feels off but I can't figure out what it is and how to fix it.
Narrator/Host Introduction
Dr. Diane Kayser is a bold holistic and root cause focused naturopathic doctor and the founder of the Chi Holistic Health Ministry. Drawing from her expertise in detoxification, regenerative health and non toxic living, she empowers individuals to reclaim their health, challenge conventional standards and heal from within with confidence and clarity.
Dr. Diane Kayser
At this point we should everybody ABC always be cleansing. It's just living a lifestyle where you're not putting as many toxins in. You're aware of where they're coming from. You make healthy swaps.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Should people be worried about long term use?
Dr. Diane Kayser
With peptides, you don't just take them, get off of them and your body crashes. The idea is that we get your body restored to the point where it's now maintaining on its own. And you've done as much as you can in your environment so that you don't have things that drain your energy. Because if you have things that drain your energy by being toxic everywhere, all around you, you could take nad all day long. But then you're going to need it for the rest of your life if you don't address the things that are draining you on the outside.
Rudy (Interviewer)
It spans the globe like a super high cold Internet.

The impossible has happened. Oh, that is sensational. Jordan, open Chicago with the lead. You said Paul is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Hello and welcome back to another episode. Joining me today is Dr. Diane and she helps change people's life. In fact, she just told me she helps people get their life back. Right. She tells, told me a bunch of other stuff and we spoke offline but I wanted to lead with that because I think it's so powerful. So let's start there. Welcome to the show.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Thanks, thanks for having me, Rudy.
Rudy (Interviewer)
And let's talk about you help. You said this keyword, right? You help people get their life back. What does that mean?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, it's something that many people are seeking right now, but they're not getting what they're looking for. When they go see a conventional doctor and they're like, I know that something Feels off, but I can't figure out what it is and how to fix it. And so we just help their body do the work. So we help them with cleansing their body, the toxins that poison them, and then we heal from the poisons and the parasites that drain them. And then we give their body back to its original design and then help them stay there with regenerative medicine with things like peptides.
Rudy (Interviewer)
And let's just. For the audience listening, I came from the health background, so I understand most of this. But for everyone else listening, who does this apply to? Does this apply to sick people and overweight people, old people, everyday people, Athletes?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Great question. It's everybody. Because I come from every background, too. I was a professional athlete myself, and I actually put breast implants in my body and I was doing Botox and all sorts of poisons to try to perfect myself in the name of beauty. And I'm like, what am I doing? I'm dying to be beautiful. And so we're doing so many things in the name of whatever programming that we're given. Many people are prescribed Ozempic now to lose weight.
Rudy (Interviewer)
That's the new thing?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, it's the new thing. And everybody's like, okay, I'm gonna jump on that, Ben. It's like 12% of the population.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Wow.
Dr. Diane Kayser
And we can actually give people peptides that are. They're GLPs. But it actually helps to restore their mitochondria and their metabolism. So it's not just, hey, eat less and not get the nutrients you need from the food that you are absolutely programmed to get nourishment from. So it's really everybody at this point, because the root cause of every symptom and every disease is toxicity, and we're all being poisoned.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So let's start there because I think that applies to everyone, whether you're an athlete with a six pack or you're overweight. Unhealthy. How? What are the main toxins and issues people suffer with? How has toxin levels increased and how's it affecting people, even if they maybe don't know it's affecting them?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, I know. I hate to sound like Chicken Little at this point. It's like 86,000 toxins in our world and counting like 3,500 new ones every. Well, this is America, right? Not just our world. And many of them are what's called xenoestrogens. So they look like plastic, they look like estrogen to the body. And so people wonder, why am I so overweight? It must be genetic. It Must be just because I'm not working out. But 60% of people are in America anyway are living in pain every day. And they, they can't work out because they're exhausted, they're overweight, their bodies are just hoarding fat for future energy because they're not getting it from the foods that used to give them energy.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So, so do you think. So to talk about this with toxins, do you think that is, you know, a big cause for it? Do you mean it's the unhealthy lifestyle that has caused the toxins to build up over time? You know, how does this come about? Is it happening without them knowing? Is it lifestyle choices that they've made?
Dr. Diane Kayser
It's such a multifactorial answer.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Yeah, it's a trick question.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah. Because. Well, the first part about it, which it's a good question you asked because there, it's a multi generational thing. So like when we look at our patients, lab reports, we look for environmental toxins, we look for multiple.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Be controlled. Right. Unless you go and live in the middle of nowhere, out of America. Right. Like I, I would say I'm pretty healthy, but I can't help that I live in Miami with cars going up and down. Right. So there are some environmental toxins almost out of your control.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Right, exactly. So that's actually why I just recently moved to Mexico, because there's less toxins there. Yeah, yeah. And I just, I've seen the writing on the wall for a long time with America until our, you know, I think it's more so that we can make the change, but we think the politicians are the ones that should be doing it. We vote by our dollar, but we also vote based on our energy levels too. We buy things based on what we don't have. Right. And we don't have energy. So people are buying carbohydrates and junk food and things to give them energy, but it's artificial energy. So the real, if we back all this up, where are the toxins coming from? The majority of them are coming from mother, grandmother. So it's been a multi generational plan. And then babies are born now at this point with like close to 500 toxins in them before they even take their first breath.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So part of it is uncontrollable, generational or environmental. But let's talk about the other half that is controllable. Right. So plastic use, all that sort of stuff. What are five of the biggest contributors that people could change?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, it's a good question. So 5. I'd start with what we see now. In the last five years, since COVID really began, we have seen one toxin that unanimously, every person has. That I didn't see before COVID And I've been testing patients for over 15 years.
Rudy (Interviewer)
What is it?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Mold. Mycotoxins.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Oh, mold. Okay. Interesting. Why?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Surprising, right?
Rudy (Interviewer)
Why? Why?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Since COVID the world has gotten more toxic. People have stopped moving as much. Also, there's a lot more pharmaceutical prescription. There's people who are. There's a lot. I see more people now. Three to five prescriptions on average.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So would you say I have more mold toxin than seven I would have had seven years ago?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Mm. Because a few different reasons. I mean, I don't know how off, how outside the box. I can talk here because I work with people who actually test the air quality of the things that we are breathing in.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Yeah.
Dr. Diane Kayser
And there's more molds and all fungal over. Exactly. And then there's also mold that's sprayed in our food and specifically all grains. So we start to pull grains out of people's diet and their mold, mycotoxic waste level goes down.
Rudy (Interviewer)
My favorite food.
Dr. Diane Kayser
I know. Unfortunately, I know we're addicted to these things, but that's also why I bring peptides.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So I take a lot of carbs.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah. So am I. So am I. Yeah. So there's. There's healthy carbs, like, you know, of course, mangoes and everything. But unfortunately.
Rudy (Interviewer)
But again, even those, you have to get certain organic where they come from. What this is whole process now it is.
Dr. Diane Kayser
And even our organic food now we're finding, you know, heavy metals. So my point is not to, you know, make it rain bad news. My point is to say that at this point, we should, everybody, abc, always be cleansing. And it doesn't mean, like you're always doing some crazy colon cleanse where you have to look at the bathroom every day and every moment. But it's just living a lifestyle where you're not putting as many toxins in. You're aware of where they're coming from. You make healthy swaps. You're in a sauna every day. That reduces all cause mortality by 25 to 50% if you're in it for 20 minutes.
Rudy (Interviewer)
My red light source? No, I have one in my office.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Can I use it before I leave?
Rudy (Interviewer)
Yeah, I went in there this morning.
Dr. Diane Kayser
I need it every day. I can't get one down to Mexico, but I think everybody should have a sauna. Everybody should have a distilled water system. There's just many things that we teach our patients.
Rudy (Interviewer)
What about plastic to. Glass is a common swap everyone's making these days. I think that's a great first step.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Or here's another one you were going to. Did you hear this one yet, Rudy? That now they're even testing. There's more microplastics and many glasses.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I didn't hear that. No, no.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah. So stainless steel, or you can do copper Food.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Right. Is obviously a big one and more heavily processed and obviously all the other inflammation problems with fried food and all those things. That's.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I think common sense. Most people in the world or America understand that now. Most still ignore it, but they understand.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Exactly.
Rudy (Interviewer)
You know, let's also talk about what about the air you breathe. You can't maybe control it when you're out on the street, but in the house, purifier things. Great idea, Great idea.
Dr. Diane Kayser
I mean, we look at everything. What are the most common sources of toxicity? So, so there's air purification.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Well, you breathe. Yeah. Basically anyone comes in the body.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah. And that's water, right? Yeah. So air filters. You have one for every 800 square feet. You have one in your kid's room. You have one in your room. You have one in the living room. You, you deactivate your smart meter. You know, you look at also EMF, wi fi@ night. Absolutely. Yeah. There's so many things that right now you're smart, you know, a lot of things.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Well, I came from there. Yeah. I don't sleep with my phone in my room. I still keep my WI fi on, sadly. But I, I. Yeah. And I think there's. But for everyday population, there's like, in health, there's like the cutoff where now you're getting crazy. Right, Exactly. Which is fine if you're into it, but for the everyday person, you know what would be? Just to bring it back to simplicity for everyone listening. Three to five things that have the highest yield, right? Yes. The 80, 20 of this.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Absolutely. And that's why I started getting into peptides and regenerative medicine, because people lose hope and they lose focus. And they also are like, I can't afford all of this and I can't do this every day.
Rudy (Interviewer)
It's a rabbit hole.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I've been friends for many years. A guy called Ben Greenfield. Right.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, of course.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I stayed at his house 10 years, nine years ago in, In God knows where, Washington state, middle of nowhere. Right. In a wood.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Intentional.
Rudy (Interviewer)
In a cabin. Yeah. And you know, this was the biohacking house before biohacking was cool. So There is, if you're listening, there's a thing where it gets to this ridiculous level, which is fine if you're into it, but there are. Like, I used to teach in nutrition, there's a rule of thumb where you're going to get 80% of your results from the simple things. Right. So good sleep, diet, exercise, maybe making some of these changes from to organic to not using plastics as much.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah.
Rudy (Interviewer)
And one thing we haven't talked about a lot is what you put on skin. Shampoo, soaps. Do you want to touch on that for a second?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah. I mean, that could be. You mean one of the five.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Well, I mean, that's a big. I think that's a big one.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Right.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Switch in all the products you use in your house. Cleaners, shampoo, soaps. That's a massive, simple swap people can make.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah. And you know, you think about oral health, you know, your toothpaste, you know, there's so many things. But if you look at. And to make this easy, because I probably do sound like a crazy person, but I'm studying this.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Yeah, yeah. You're down the rabbit hole.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah. I have to know it. So I look at every. Every person, every patient. I meet them, where they're at, I look at their environment, I look at what they're doing. What are the biggest five things? But. And I look at every person individually, but in general, that is a big one because, of course, Fluoride, fluoride, aluminum glyphosate. Those are the first three toxins.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Florida sun cream.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Oh, please. Let's go down that rabbit hole, please. First of all, you can eat your sunscreen, stop eating seed oils, and eat healthy omegas. And if you're going to make this switch, go away from canola oil, get away from all the seed oils that can make your sun more likely to burn. And like, people asking, how do you look so tan? I'm like, I stopped eating seed oil.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I don't have sun cream on ever.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Me neither. So, yeah, so there's a big one. That's a huge one. So please, you don't get.
Rudy (Interviewer)
But it's funny because I don't put it on ever. And everyone freaks out at me.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Me too.
Rudy (Interviewer)
You know, I'm like, you're gonna die. Like, you're probably the worst. The cheap stuff in the orange bottle, probably way worse for you than the sun I get.
Dr. Diane Kayser
And then you, like, socially distance yourself from the person.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I mean, with sun, you build a top. Like, naturally. For hundreds of years, we didn't have sunscreen. You build a tolerance over time. That's how the body's designed.
Dr. Diane Kayser
You know what? This is the paradox, and this is the backwards, upside down world that we're in. The number one place we get our energy, AKA our cell's ability to communicate with all of its parts, is our sun. We get like 70 to 80% of our energy from. We're solar panels. So we're designed to get energy from the sun, but yet we're blocking it by being inside all day and wearing sunscreen and wearing sunglasses. And then you wonder why you're. You have hot flashes at night. I could go down that rabbit hole forever. But it's so much about what you put in your skin. It's also the beauty toxins I'll throw into that, which is.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Let's just summarize where we're at. Put yourself in a plastic wrap and never leave the house. Don't drink, touch anything.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yes.
Rudy (Interviewer)
That's it. Right. And you'll be safe. Top secret.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, let's play opposites game.
Rudy (Interviewer)
No, but in all seriousness, I think the trend we're going with here is there's some simple implementation to get a good yield. Right. So cleaning up your food's an obvious one. Sleeping well is an obvious one. Cleaning up the air you breathe in.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yes.
Rudy (Interviewer)
The water you drink, the food you consume, and the stuff you put on your skin. That's what I always used to teach is there's four or five ways things come in. So if you can clean up those things and water, mouth, food, nose. Right. Skin you're on probably the 80% mark of fixing a lot of these problems.
Dr. Diane Kayser
That's what we call the foundations.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Yeah.
Dr. Diane Kayser
So once you have those foundations, then other things can work better. Because a lot of people want the quick fix or the easy way. And for some people, they do need that too. Rudy. Cause you know, you can't.
Rudy (Interviewer)
You gotta get motivated. Right?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah. And some people have just no energy. And they are doing. This is the normal patient that we work with. They're doing so many of the right things and they're on 15, 30 supplements and. Cause I was a professional bikini competitor and everything was clean. And back then, people were on maybe five supplements. Now they're on like 30. And they're like, here's my accordion. And they. You don't feel any different than the person who's barely starting with us, who's on no supplements. So this is where we start to bring in peptides because.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Well, peptides and. Yeah, because I left the fitness industry 10 years ago. And pretty unheard of at that point, right, for pro bodybuilders taking illegal stuff.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Creatine.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Yeah. Yeah. But now, like, it's all the rage in the last 10 years. Boom in industry.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So just break it down before we get into it. What, what are peptides?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Your body's made of them. Yeah, Your body already makes them.
Rudy (Interviewer)
How are they different to take in whey protein powder or vitamin D?
Dr. Diane Kayser
So if I'm sending you a text message, I have to have a single A signal. Right. But if we have our WI fi turned off or we have our, you know, if it's on airplane mode, we can't text each other. This is the average human body right now. Our cells do not speak to each other. Our cellular phone cannot speak from one person to the other without a signal. Your body, our bodies are lacking signals. So your brain and your gut and your gut down to your organs, your reproductive organs, the heart, all of those things are not able to communicate with each other without cell signaling. So there's several tens of thousands of peptides on a daily basis that you're making. But the average sick person is about 90% deplete of those things. So we just use peptides to bring the body back to what it used to be able to do before it started getting completely deplete from all these poisons and parasites and pathogens.
Rudy (Interviewer)
And then just to address one thing that people ask me still, what's the difference between peptides and steroids? Testosterone.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Good question. So. And you and I have the same background, so we. Well, you're not supposed to use steroids, you know, in the things I used to compete in, I didn't. But steroids are. They're artificial, first of all, and they're terrible for your body. But there's something. I even brought it in here just so you can see. I carry my peptides with me when I travel. And one of these peptides can actually sell signal to your brain to make more human growth hormone. And human growth hormone is what helps your body to burn fat while you sleep. You make like 90% of it while you rest. But most people are not getting good sleep.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Sure.
Dr. Diane Kayser
So human growth hormone can regulate many other things. Oxytocin is another peptide. So these are just things that your body, you know when you make love or when you have a baby or when you're hugging somebody else. This is oxytocin. That's how we bond. Many people lack empathy today, and it's because they lack oxytocin, because their body's Full of toxins. So all of these are just natural cell signaling molecules. And they're not artificial. They are made in a lab to replicate exactly what our body makes. But we've already seen in several studies, you know, tens of thousands of studies that are actually not creating any symptoms or side effects.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So. And then let's go back to that, because I like to give people application in everything I do. When I used to be in the health space, people would say, oh, supplements. I'd say, keep to these five. Creatine, vitamin D, whey protein, or a protein, and a couple more. Right. If I had to ask you the same question in peptides, what are some of the most common, well researched ones that can help people?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, you and I think so much alike because I actually created, like, the top five foundational peptides. BBC is one that everybody's heard of. I'm sure you, Ben, injected you with some of that or you tried someone when you were at his house. BPC and TB500.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Can you just explain it for everyone? What does it do?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Sure. So bpc, just basically, it stands for body protective compound. And your body starts to get worn down, so your connective tissues. Leaky. Gut is the birthplace to autoimmune disease. Your brain BBC restores a lot of the tissues that have been torn apart. And I'm an athlete, so I've had multiple surgeries. So before my surgery, after my surgery, I used it to help me repair itself very quickly, get back on my feet.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Tore my ankle and broke my arm playing basketball. And I took. What's the other popular one?
Dr. Diane Kayser
TB500.
Rudy (Interviewer)
It could have been that Copper peptides. It was a joint one. Yeah. But it was pretty crazy recovery way faster than when I did it two years before.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, yeah, that's what everybody says when we help them. It's like, whoa. I mean, in a day. In a day, they're back to sometimes. Not everybody. I'm not gonna make any promises, but we work with people who have never experienced pep heads, and it's like something gets turned on in them, and they're like, I can get back to doing the things that I was doing that I haven't done for 20 years in like a week or a day or whatever. So those two together go, well. BPC and TB500.
Rudy (Interviewer)
What about weight loss? That's the big one.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Big time. Yes. Okay, so I've got a couple on this one. And this is a big. If you hear nothing else from me today and you're listening and you maybe you've Done oxytocin, I mean ozempic or anything crazy like that from your doctor, you must, must do something to make sure that your body has the energy to take that waste out. So I'm not advocating for ozempic. I'm saying that that's semaglutide. It's just one, it's GLP1. It just simply slows gastric emptying. A lot of people are getting very sick from it because they're not getting the nutrients they need because they're not eating as much and they don't have enough energy to carry the weight and the waste out from where their body is burning the fat to get these things out of the body. Waste out of the body, Right. So they end up getting sick, they get nauseous, you know, 70% of people get nauseated or they experience some degree of vomiting and they stop within three months. So I'll tell them instead. We have one called Slupe. It's in a capsule form, you don't have to inject, it's S L U P or S lupp. And then the other one is retatrutide and that actually goes back in. And you know this from being an athlete too. It actually restores, repairs your mitochondri and your metabolism and it works with your food so you don't crave crappy food anymore. Cause that's the thing is people, they wanna stop eating what we call food or carbage, but they can't because they're addicted, right?
Rudy (Interviewer)
Yes, yes.
Dr. Diane Kayser
So it actually works with the brain so it won't crave crap food anymore. So Red or True Tide is one of my favorites for that. But I start them with capsules as sloop first. Cause that's an easy thing, you swallow a pill. And in mice studies they've seen 12% of the mice. No, the mice who were in that study, in the first month, they lost 12% of their fat.
Rudy (Interviewer)
And one more follow up with weight loss. What about ones that manipulate leptin and ghrelin? Any there that you like or you prescribe?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, well, both of the two that I just talked about do regulate all of those hunger cell signal molecules and hormones and they do so at a greater level. So that ozempic won't do that. Yes, it's just semi glutide. It just simply does one thing and it's terrible for you, especially in the long run. You get off of it, it's, you're going to have, you know, what we call, you know, reverse weight loss. You're gonna. You're just gonna come back. Rebound weight gain. So I like retatrutide for that instead.
Rudy (Interviewer)
But and just to break down why that's important, it's kind of like we use the analogy with the growth hormone. It's actually naturally helping stabilize how your hunger hormone should function in a normal healthy human body versus, you know, over time, when you are sick or unhealthy for 20 years. Those hormones are out of whack, right?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Absolutely.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Restoring them is so important for weight maintenance after. And that's why people get stuck when they do these yo yo diets or, you know, come off these stuff.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Exactly. Most people have been trying crazy diets for a long time. They're swinging, they're like, oh, this is the best trend. This is the next best trend. And so they inadvertently end up destroying their hunger hormones. And so we wanna restore all of that. And the other one is the human growth hormone secretagogue where it just simply is a cell signaler. You take it and this peptide and it signals to your brain to make more of what it needs. And that's human growth hormone. And that actually helps you to build muscle so that when you're in a rested state, you and me both know this, that the more muscle that you have, the more that your body's using fat for fuel at a rested state. So great. And then also taking things that support two mitochondria, like things like nad Mot
Rudy (Interviewer)
c I saw NAD has become one of the, like ozempic in the more biohacking longevity space. It's like the new kid on the block. Yeah. Why is that? Because I'm sure a lot of people
Dr. Diane Kayser
here have heard that it restores your body's ability to make your own mitochondria.
Rudy (Interviewer)
And question on that, because I see this a lot. People ask. It started with injections, right?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yes.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Now it's moved to. You don't have to inject.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Exactly.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Is injection still like testosterone, still a better form and more. More bioactive or can you take pills and other things?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, it's a good question because the first time I did nad was several years ago. And it was straight in the vein.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Everyone was doing it, everybody was doing it.
Dr. Diane Kayser
And. And my first experience was similar to many other people who are like, oh my God, I feel really sick. Slow this thing down. You know, I don't need it.
Rudy (Interviewer)
As fast as you're putting this into my vein sub. Where you were just doing an insulin needle now. Exactly. Pill form and.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yes. And so there's an important distinction on that. So people think peptides, I have to inject, it's going to go into my vein. I'm afraid of needles, I'm going to die. And so, like, I don't want to hear this, Dr. Kayser. It's not. First of all, when you inject peptides, you know it, but other people don't. Yes, it's a small little insulin needle and you just inject it into your fat pockets. And I'm like, if people are doing this with Ozempic and insulin, you could probably do it. You know, so people. I'm afraid of needles. Like, look at those people. They can do it. It's tiny. Tiny. It's like not even like a bee sting. Right. So you can do it. But I start people with intranasals or capsules first and you can do NAD and intranasal, it's just not going to be as bioavailable like you said. So some of these peptides are better taken intranasally, like CMAC and Salink. We use that for people who want to get off antidepressants or anxiety medications or, you know, kids who have ADHD or ADD, or people who have issues sleeping or they have total body pain or they're on pain pill, whatever it is, but it regulates your mood. A lot of people we're working with right now losing their memory, brain fog, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, I mean, it's an epidemic. So they take the Salank or Simac and you just intranasal, and it's not good in injection form. So then some of these are only in capsule form, some of them are in injection form. So depending on the peptide will tell you it's the most effective if you take it this way.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Yeah.
Dr. Diane Kayser
And then people who say, I don't want to inject it, then just like NAD say, if you don't want to inject nad, you could take it intranasal and that's fine. But the capsule is not going to be anywhere near as well.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I was going to say, I guess every industry in fitness, Right. Health. It's like something comes out that's good and then they kind of rip it off and expense. So there's a lot of supplements now that are precursors and yeah, often don't work. They're just using the name now with
Dr. Diane Kayser
nad, and then they mark it up. Yeah.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So you have to watch those because it's very different to the studies and results on actual nad.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Right.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So last question I want to ask, because I get asked this a lot too. Even though I'm not even in health anymore. People ask, look at hormones, testosterone, all those things, big long term negative side effects. Is it down regulates natural production and screws you over for many years to come or your whole life when you come off it?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Right, right.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Is that the same with peptides? Should people be worried about long term use?
Dr. Diane Kayser
Great question. I wish everybody asked me these questions. Rudy, seriously, this is so important because you're right that certain things that create a codependence in the body such that if you get off of them then you're not better off. I've moved away from them as much as I can. So I always start everybody with first have the foundations down. You don't just start taking peptides and expect to get better. Your hormones being optimized are actually it makes the peptides work better. So the way that you can get your hormones regulated better is to look at what's draining them to begin with. Right.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Not just the natural fix, the more natural fix.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Exactly. Although I am a fan of human or taking different things like I take testosterone myself as I get older, I do take those things. But I tried as long as I could to not until I needed them. With peptides you don't just take them, get off of them and your body crashes. The idea is that we get your body restored to the point where it's now maintaining on its own. And you've done as much as you can in your environment. Cause we specialize in environmental medicine like you were talking about earlier, reducing as much as you can in your control, your environment so that you don't have things that drain your energy. Because if you have things that drain your energy by being toxic everywhere, all around you. You could take NADLA along, but then you're gonna need it for the rest of your life if you don't address the things that are draining you on the outside.
Rudy (Interviewer)
And I think a good way to look at this I used to teach is these things, if done right in a shorter period of time are like when you jumpstart a car.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Right? Right.
Rudy (Interviewer)
And you don't have to run it like then it starts running again itself how it should. But you sometimes have to jump start stuff.
Dr. Diane Kayser
That's a perfect analogy to explain it. Exactly.
Rudy (Interviewer)
So last couple of questions we wrap up, we talked a lot about. I tried to cover a bit, little bits of everything right here of what you do. Obviously it's very surface level but hopefully shows you know, all the little areas you can help and things people can look into if they Want to sit down and go, okay, I love that podcast. I saw all these things I can be doing, but how do I customize it to me? How do they. How do they sit with you? How does that work? Do they start with blood work? Tell us about that.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, good question. Blood work is what so many people have already been doing. So we start actually by first looking at what toxic burden do they have. And that's different than most people have ever experienced because they finally get to see on this urinary test, we just shipped the lab to them. We work with patients all around the world, and they get the results and they go, oh, now I understand why it's so important. Cause they're like, oh, I eat super healthy. I'm vegan, or I'm keto or whatever. Yeah, but we're all living and breathing
Rudy (Interviewer)
the same air is weird, right? Cause it's like they can be that, but then they could live in an old house. Mold.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Or it could be from when they were younger and mold is still in them, or they have, you know, some root canal or something. So everybody's different. So we have different variations of helping people. So we have, in our ministry, we're called chi Holistic Health Ministry. It stands for cleanse, Healing Night. And we have a VIP group, so it's less than a hundred bucks, you know, just to be in calls with us every week. And I go over, basically, ask the doc, ask me anything in a one and a half time period every week. And then if it's a group setting, we've got over 300 members in there. People love being in there because they all get to learn from each other. They're inspired by each other, and they ask a lot of great questions. A beautiful community. We have fun, and people are just fierce about their freedom. So that's one way to get in there. Just an easy way that people, you know, join, and they're like, oh, if you like us, if you resonate with our energy, then you could apply to be a patient. And we have diancaser.com patient for that. And we have a wait list now. So that's actually why we're talking to you.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Custom, right? Where they come in, they get the lab results, you sit down, you know,
Dr. Diane Kayser
and kind of metaphorically, they don't come in. Yeah, yeah, we. We have people all around the world, so we just ship labs directly to them. You don't have to go anywhere. You don't have to have your arm.
Rudy (Interviewer)
Now, like 16 years ago in England, you had to like, I had to go in and then, yeah, you know, get all the stuff. And then I moved to America and it's like, oh, yeah, you can. I had to go to London. Whereas now, you know, two hours away. Whereas in America, you know, then it was like, oh, you can go two minutes down the road. And then a couple more years later, it's like, oh, now I just pay them to come to my office random for blood work.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, yeah.
Rudy (Interviewer)
You don't even have to leave. And then you ship it off.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, yeah. And even more importantly, you know, beyond just what's in your blood, it's what is causing the deficiencies or in your blood, which is the urine test. And we just ship the urine test and you pee in a cup and
Rudy (Interviewer)
you send it off.
Dr. Diane Kayser
FedEx shows up and we get your lab results back in a month and we're like, this is the main root cause reason. Like, look at these metals. And then they can start to understand the importance of, oh, now I understand the gluten free diet. It's not just a fad. There's a lot of different toxins in these things. There's aluminum.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I used to teach, I always do blood work every two, three times a year. Are you a big proponent of doing these tests on a regular basis? It's not like, hey, once and done.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, good question. So we do like to look for patterns. So look at where they first started, you know, what were the poisons in them from get go. We also look at gut testing and we look at not just do you have an infection, it's what are your deficiencies in your healthy microbes too? It's not just take a probiotic and you're done. It's what degree are you inflamed? What degree is your gut leaky? You know, to what degree are you developing immune response to or an autoimmune response to gluten? And then how well is your immune system? Because mine was struggling when I had breast implants, so I took them out. And the reason why we do before and after lab testing is so that they can see that the work that they've done has actually worked. And then we can set them off and say, now you're in a good place to live in the environment and let's keep you there. You've worked so hard, you've spent so much money, you've spent so much time. Now keep yourself there. Don't ruin it again. So they stay healthy and they understand the importance of it. So you don't have to spend a lot of money doing it all over again. And we do blood work, too, but it's after we get all the other foundations of why do you have low vitamin D to begin with? It's not just take a pill, you know, get some more sunshine, stop wearing sunscreen, stop eating seed oils.
Rudy (Interviewer)
I love that. Okay, so last question. Website or Instagram? Where can they message you, find you? Get started.
Dr. Diane Kayser
Yeah, just website, diancaser.com or drdiancaser.com I don't get to say a lot on social media because they don't like me talking about these things. So we have a lot of other places. On my website, you can see I speak a lot on Rumble Channel, Brightteon. I have a lot of podcast partners that we're on those channels. And so mostly, if you guys want to hear me speak, you've got to go to my website. You know, go to the media section and you'll see me talking about things where I haven't been banned from talking about them.
