Dr. Randi Shannon discussed the many ways natural remedies can be used to address ailments and health issues. On dietary advice, she suggested eliminating refined sugars, seed oils, gluten, and processed foods to prevent chronic illness and support healing. She highlighted monk fruit as a natural sweetener that "doesn't raise insulin in the body" and avoids the inflammatory effects of processed sugars. Regarding popular supplements, she praised vitamin D3 combined with K2, noting its role in immune regulation and disease prevention. She also stressed the importance of sunlight exposure for vitamin D production, citing historical diets and lifestyles of ancient civilizations to challenge modern fears about sun exposure.

When asked about vision loss associated with the rare condition acromegaly, she recommended reducing inflammation and supporting key bodily systems, such as the pituitary and liver, with specific supplements like zinc, magnesium, essential fatty acids, and green tea. She also touched on the often-overlooked diagnostic power of the tongue in assessing internal health. She emphasized that the tongue serves as a direct mirror of organ function and blood quality, a concept rooted in ancient medical traditions from Egypt, China, and India. She described how discoloration and coatings on the tongue can signal internal imbalances in digestion, circulation, and liver health, long before disease manifests.

Dr. Shannon also discussed the benefits and precautions of kombucha, a fermented probiotic tonic, advising caution with homemade versions but acknowledging its positive effects on gut health and liver function. For a caller with cellulitis (a type of skin infection), she again stressed diet as foundational, advising against common allergens and processed foods while recommending probiotics, protein, garlic, and colloidal silver.
