The bicarbonate buffer system plays a critical role in the body’s ability to maintain pH, manage inflammation, and support cellular healing—and in this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Mark Sircus to explore how restoring this natural bicarbonate buffering system may help slow aging and support the body’s capacity to heal chronic disease. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, Dr. Sircus explains how Natural Allopathic Medicine integrates bicarbonate therapy with essential nutrients like magnesium and iodine to strengthen resilience and improve physiological function.

A pioneer in natural medicine, Dr. Sircus outlines why bicarbonate is far more than a household compound. He shares its potential applications in kidney health, metabolic regulation, athletic performance, and even as a supportive therapy in cancer care. Throughout the conversation, he challenges conventional medical assumptions while emphasizing safe, evidence-supported approaches people can explore with proper guidance.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how the bicarbonate buffer works, why pH balance matters, and how simple, accessible interventions may influence long-term wellness. Whether you're interested in integrative oncology, root-cause medicine, or natural therapies that complement conventional care, this conversation with Dr. Mark Sircus delivers a thoughtful, science-driven perspective on healing the body from the inside out.
