Cultivating Vitality and Uncovering the Healed State Within

Dr. Beth McDougall: At the moment of our conception, when the sperm penetrates the egg, it’s now been shown that there is a flash of light and there’s also a sound that imprints in space this blueprint of our being.

Meet Dr. Beth McDougall

Victor Dwyer: Hey, everyone! Welcome to today’s episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk show where we’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Beth McDougall, a trailblazer in functional medicine and bio-optimization with over two decades of experience in medical practice. Dr. McDougall is the Co-Founder and Medical Director of Jyzen, a cutting edge bio-optimization center in Mill Valley, California. Dubbed a medical detective, she’s flipping the script on how we treat chronic illness and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mixing the best of Western medicine with a game changing power of alternative therapies to uncover solutions that most people don’t even know that are possible.

Buckle up for a conversation that will leave you with a whole new perspective on what’s possible for your body and mind.

Journey to Integrative Medicine

Sylvie Beljanski: Hello, Dr. McDougall. I’m delighted to have you today on The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show. You are a holistic doctor. That’s how you would describe yourself?

Dr. Beth McDougall: Yeah, an integrative medicine doctor.

Sylvie Beljanski: Yes. How did you become an integrative doctor? 

Dr. Beth McDougall: I was interested way before I went to medical school in very holistic thinking and the way that trauma affects health.

And, like in the early days of the emergence of the field of psycho neuroimmunology, I was very interested in that, and had a sense as a young person that we have the capacity to heal from any illness. So, I went to medical school with that orientation and saw my medical training as a step to a different world where I could think more holistically and help people in a broader way and in a deeper way than is traditionally done in western medicine.

Sylvie Beljanski: So, what you learned at medical school, was it exactly what you were expecting to find and was it exactly fulfilling your hopes to understand how to help heal people? 

Dr. Beth McDougall: You know what, what I appreciated about my medical training was the basic science. Like, I appreciated learning in a very deep way about chemistry and biochemistry and neuroanatomy and anatomy and physiology, and just, you know, the basic things. Because the design of the human body is so magnificent, and when you have the opportunity to dig deeply into the biochemistry in the intracellular level, it’s so intricate and just exquisite and it fills me with a sense of awe, just awe of this beautiful design and awe of how we’ve evolved over so many thousands of years to have this beautifully complex organism here.

So, I appreciated that when I was starting to learn about pharmaceuticals and having to memorize the names of them and the functions, and I use that where I would always think, “Okay, it’s good to know about this, but how can I affect changes in the biochemical pathways by utilizing things that are native to the human body?”

So, I was interested in nutritional biochemistry and orthomolecular medicine, which was really the work stemming from Linus Pauling and all of that. So, anytime I would learn about a pharmaceutical, I would learn the mechanism of action, and then I would ask myself, like, “How can I accomplish that type of effect in the body with some natural substance.”

Holistic Medical Practice

Sylvie Beljanski: So, how did you incorporate all this learning into your practice? 

Dr. Beth McDougall: I think the main thing that differentiated the way that I practiced was that I drew from Western medicine, but then I drew from a much, a broader understanding of nutrition, like the effects of individual nutrients, whether they’re amino acids or vitamins or minerals or essential fatty acids bioidentical hormones, things like that. I drew from a pretty large understanding of, like, herbal pharmacopia. And then I also drew from an understanding of biophysics and just this kind of energetic nature of our biology and how we store experiences that happen to us throughout our lives, in our energetic field, and that eventually, if unaddressed throughout the lifetime, can start to affect changes on a physical level. I utilized the knowledge from medical school, but that was just a small slice compared to this kind of larger array of thinking I was drawing from.

The Pristine Blueprint

Sylvie Beljanski: You are the author of a book, a bestseller book, called The Pristine Blueprint, The Missing Key to Longevity, Reversing Disease and Radically Transforming Your Life. So in your view, what is this pristine blueprint and what is it about? 

Dr. Beth McDougall: So, at the moment of our conception, when the sperm penetrates the egg, it’s now been shown that there is a flash of light and there’s also a sound.

So, there’s this kind of photoacoustic boom that occurs that imprints in space this blueprint of our being. And this is informed by our unique genetics. It’s informed by probably astrological influences at the moment of our conception. And it’s also, I believe, informed by our soul and this provides this blueprint, so to speak, that allows for the cells to unfold and multiply and then begin to differentiate there.

I did a lot of work in the Department of Cell Biology when I was in medical school. So, research in that department and I studied the development of chick embryos and it was just so interesting to look at the science at the time that was dictating how one cell kind of transforms into another cell, becomes a liver or it becomes a heart, or becomes part of the nervous system or becomes, there’s not great explanations in science that the reasoning is very circular, I found, to explain, like, what tells a cell to become something to the exclusion of everything else.

Why some genes are turned off and certain ones are emphasized that allow it to become a liver cell, for example. And so I became aware of, kind of, the workaround the idea of a morphogenic field at that time that is a higher level field of information that is orchestrating the development of the embryo.

I believe it’s this three dimensional geometrical blueprint that is also developing our growth and development and then our exquisitely complex physiology. When you really look into the complexity of the physiology, you have 37 trillion cells and even more microorganisms within the body, but 37 trillion cells each with millions to billions of reactions, chemical reactions, happening every second in a coordinated manner. That level of complexity and the coordination of all of that, it has to have a higher level orchestration.

That is what this field does, this blueprint. The other thing that, that’s a fascinating concept that I’ve learned in my deep dive into quantum physics and biophysics, is that we think of our physical forms as static, but we’re truly forming and annihilating trillions of times per second.

Does that make sense, Sylvie?

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah, absolutely.

Dr. Beth McDougall: Yeah so it’s, like, all of material reality is forming and annihilating trillions of times a second. So, we as these complex multicellular beings, are forming and annihilating. So, how is it that we’re re-patterning to almost look like we’re static every trillionth of a second. It’s because we have this blueprint of information and what I think happens as we go through life is that the information gets contaminated by misinformation. So, every single thing that we encounter in life, whether it’s a pathogen or a toxin, or even a constellation of signatures associated with a traumatic experience have information signatures that can begin to create some dissonance in the system. 

Detoxification and Health

Sylvie Beljanski: So, how can you help your patients to go back to the perfect place where there should be to fulfill the destiny, let’s say, of their blueprint.

Dr. Beth McDougall: Great question. So it’s in many different ways. For one, it’s adopting a lifestyle that is very conducive to resonance with the blueprint. So, it would be really focusing on sleep quality, spending time outdoors, exercising, drinking pure water, eating a diet that’s right for your biochemistry and there’s no one diet that’s right for everyone, a diet that has a large quantity of whole living foods vegetables and fruit that have the electrons and all of the micronutrients and nutrients that our body really needs to thrive.

And also has the life force, that kind of living force, that can come in and infuse in our body. And then also teaching people how to meditate and deal with their stored energy from a metabolized emotions related to traumatic experiences, and then working on both assessing, diagnosing toxic elevation in the body and working to detoxify.

So, I do a lot of work to pull out heavy metals and pull out chemicals and industrial solvents and all of that that have accumulated in the body over time. 

Sylvie Beljanski: What do you recommend, for example, for detoxification? 

Dr. Beth McDougall: So, a lot of the chemicals that we’re exposed to in life are fat soluble and the traditional juice fast, although it has a lot of advantages, is not gonna go into the body and pull out fat soluble molecules. So, really, we have to start working on phospholipid exchange therapy, so we tend to store a lot of fat-soluble toxins in our cell membranes. And, that’s not as big of a deal and cells that are dying and turning over rapidly, but some cells in our body, like our neurons in our brain, our muscle cells, et cetera, the ones you’re born with, you die with, they’re there for a lifetime. So, they tend to be a repository that accumulates a lot of toxins over time. And then fatty, fatty areas of the body. So, like, in women, the breast tissue is a very commonplace where you’re gonna collect fat soluble toxins, for example. So, we want to do things that flush fat soluble toxins out and I do both oral and then intravenous treatments to do that.

Intravenous phospholipids is a really good starting place because phospholipids are the primary component of the cell membrane. So, there’s a phospholipid exchange that you can do where you’re adding these into the system, you’re populating your cell membranes with fresh phospholipids that tends to kick out damaged fats and also fat soluble toxins.

And so then you follow that with glutathione intravenously and then methylating agents intravenously like folinic acid and methylcobalamin B vitamins. And that’s a good way to both flush and then mop up the fat-soluble toxins. 

Sylvie Beljanski: So for people who are not very knowledgeable with this area, what you are doing has nothing to do with ozempic, for example, 

Dr. Beth McDougall: No, nothing.

Sylvie Beljanski: Can you explain the difference between addressing fat, I mean with everything the way you are doing it and the way we hear about on tv? 

Dr. Beth McDougall: Sure, yeah. 

The 2025 Beljanski Integrative Cancer Conference

Nathan Crane: That’s the purpose of the 2025 Bel Jansky Integrative Cancer Conference. A meeting of the world’s top minds in complimentary, alternative, natural and integrative cancer solutions.

The proceeds go towards funding, cutting edge cancer research, delving into a brand new area of science concerning cancer stem cells, which could hold the secret to ending cancer once and for all.

Dr. Beth McDougall: With Ozempic, you’re delaying gastric emptying and diminishing appetite and food quantities that people are eating, and so they are going to be losing fat because by virtue of just eating less and consuming fewer calories. Unfortunately, with Ozempic it can also lose lean muscle as well as fat.

So, the problem there is that, over time, if someone is not extremely conscientious to maintain lean muscle, lift weights while they’re doing it and do things for building muscle, they are going to have a slower metabolism with time, and if they get off ozempic, they will gain the weight back and then some.

So, there’s a lot of downsides with Ozempic. If someone is losing fat, they are going to probably be elaborating toxins that are stored in the fat and you do want to do some things to sweep those out of the body so they don’t just find a new home. I would say if someone’s doing this, they should probably also do what I’m talking about, which is where they’re using phosphatidylcholine, intravenously, or orally, to sweep toxins out of the fat cells and also out of the cell membranes of the body. And then mopping those toxins up with sulfating agents like glutathione and methylating agents like B12 and folinic acid, so, methylcobalamin and folinic acid.

The other thing that’s really helpful when someone has cancer, but also for just detoxifying in general, is to use binding agents. So, the body will attempt to eliminate a lot of toxins through the biliary tree in the liver, into the intestinal tract. So, the toxins will go through the liver, through the kind of tree of bile channels, dump into the intestinal tract, and then it’s useful to take things to bind those toxins up when they land in the intestinal tract so that they don’t just get reabsorbed and then recirculate in the body.

Sylvie Beljanski: Yeah. These approaches, is necessary, absolutely, for we live in such a toxic world. The soup of toxins and those toxins are kind, considered by many other, the root of all kind of diseases. So, I assume your approach, allows you to help a lot of different patients suffering from a, different kind of chronic diseases, right? 

Dr. Beth McDougall: Yes, absolutely. Not just cancer, but also neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline and chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia and all of that. So, detoxifying chemicals is extremely important for restoring more optimal resonance with this blueprint of pristine information so that you have more pristine information informing your physiology as opposed to misinformation. 

Sylvie Beljanski: In your book, you’re using some words that I specifically resonate with, which is alignment with your blueprint. I think that it is so important to have also your emotions, to the way you live, lifestyle, your purpose in life. All that has to be to be really aligned for happiness, actually, health, and they all go together. And as I was, looking at your profile, I realized that you and your husband are also involved in some biotechnology about bringing physics from dissonance to resonance. And I think there was some kind of parallel, at some level, between what you are doing for your patients and bringing also some alignment in physics.

Dr. Beth McDougall: Yes.

Sylvie Beljanski: Am I right to say that? 

Holistic Health and Environment

Dr. Beth McDougall: You’re absolutely right because you really can’t separate human health from the health of the environment.

We’re all part of one thing. We’re all part of this one fabric of reality, and it’s this field of energy and information that we exist within, that exists within us, and that we are actually derived from. It’s this kind of seamless fabric that all creation is part of. So, when we are harming the environment, we’re harming our own health.

So, absolutely we need to take holism to an entirely new level. We’re not just mind, body, spirit, but it’s mind, body, spirit, environment and our resonance with the field of energy and information that we’re part of. There are so many technologies at this time in our history that are dissonant.

Really, it’s about looking at the way nature functions. We can learn so much by observing nature. Nature doesn’t blow up hydrocarbons, nature doesn’t take out body parts. Nature doesn’t use ionizing radiation so, ideally, we want to be farming in a way, for example, where we’re not using toxic chemicals as pesticides and herbicides and synthetic fertilizers and things like that.

We ideally want to be really striving to develop technologies to extract energy from the quantum vacuum as opposed to blowing up hydrocarbons to, for energy and we want to find ways to heal the body that is harmonious with the system and complementary to the physiology as opposed to damaging the body.

So, with ionizing radiation, with cutting out body parts, with toxic chemicals to poison, that’s really been the focus of all of our companies and a lot of the work, a lot of what we do is support companies that have technologies that are based on new thinking and physics.

Sylvie Beljanski: I love it as really it’s the forefront of physics for tomorrow and medicine for tomorrow. And the fact that you are addressing the environment and the body of the people in an holistic way in their environment, not just conventional medicine, you’re taking just one organ and integrative doctors are looking at the body, but you are even beyond the body. You are looking at the body in its full environment that I think I really commend you for that.

Upcoming Conference and Final Thoughts

Sylvie Beljanski: Is it something you are going to address at the upcoming conference in Austin, Texas? I know that we are very excited to having you at The Beljanski Integrative Cancer Conference.

Dr. Beth McDougall: Oh, yeah. I am so excited to be there. I’m so honored to be part of this distinguished group of physicians and healers and people like yourself and Dr. Christine Schaffner, who’s a good friend of mine, and Ed Group and Brian Ardis and Leigh Erin Connealy, people that I both have known professionally and also people I’ve admired from afar.

So, it’s gonna be a really good conference and yes, I’ll be addressing all of this. Really at its root, cancer is a metabolic disease. It is related to diminished mitochondrial function, diminished energy production in the cell, diminished cell membrane potential, which is like the electrical charge of the cell.

So, a lot of the understanding that I draw from new thinking in physics has a direct application to physiology. So, I’m gonna be talking about all of that and ways that we can cultivate an anti-cancer milieu in the body that really just both facilitates the kind of getting rid of cancer, but also preventing it from manifesting.

So, I will be addressing many factors that are going to create this resiliency in the body and this vitality.
