I sit down with Ken Guoin, the innovative founder of Ophora Water. Join us as we delve into Ken's fascinating journey from his college days at the University of Michigan to becoming a pioneering force in the water industry. Ken shares the story behind his groundbreaking invention: the first 100% organic, chlorine-free swimming pool system, and how his passion for pure water led to the creation of Ophora Water.

We explore the history and challenges of municipal water systems, the impact of chlorine and other contaminants on our drinking water, and the serious health implications of disinfection by-products (DBPs). Ken explains the meticulous process behind Ophora Water, which includes advanced filtration and oxygenation techniques, ensuring the highest quality and purity.

Tune in to discover how Ophora Water is transforming the way we think about hydration and wellness, and why Ken firmly believes that avoiding tap water is a "no-brainer." Whether you're a health enthusiast, an environmental advocate, or simply curious about the future of water, this episode is packed with insights and information you won't want to miss.

In this episode, Dr. Ben Lynch joins me to explore the crucial role of the MTHFR gene, which generates the most active form of folate in our bodies, methylfolate. Dr. Lynch highlights how essential methylation is—a process supported by methylfolate—that impacts key functions like DNA repair, detoxification, and neurotransmitter production. We delve into the harmful impacts of folic acid, a synthetic folate, especially for those with MTHFR gene variants.

Dr. Lynch presents compelling reasons to avoid folic acid and instead choose natural folate from foods or supplements with methylfolate. Additionally, we discuss the link between MTHFR variants and mental health, noting how methylation imbalances can contribute to mental health issues and the need to maintain proper homocysteine levels for mental well-being. Don’t miss this insightful conversation!
