In a world where healthcare costs continue to skyrocket and chronic diseases plague millions, one truth remains constant: *Optimum Health is Your Greatest Wealth.*  

An ounce of prevention is worth a TON of cure,  . With decades of experience in nutritional consulting and biohacking, Robert has witnessed firsthand how proactive health strategies can prevent the devastating cycle of illness and expensive treatments. The question isn’t whether prevention is possible — it’s whether you’re ready to take control of your health destiny.    

Instead of treating symptoms, Robert looks at underlying causes.  Important for cell functioning are essential nutrients, and identifying and eliminating harmful toxins that compromise  cell function.

Robert’s approach centers on a fundamental principle: *The best way to know if you’re improving is to measure.  :He discusses eight crucial biomarkers that can predict your health trajectory years in advance.  This can be useful in many aspects of health improvement such as weight loss and a comprehensive health optimization

Robert Menkemeller, R.N.C., C.P.T. Registered Nutritional Consultant & Certified Personal Trainer

Robert Menkemeller brings over three decades of dedicated expertise in nutritional consulting, personal training, and longevity optimization. His journey into health and wellness began in 1984 while living in the Seychelles Islands, where he developed a deep appreciation for the connection between environment, lifestyle, and vitality.

He graduated from nutrition school in February 1992, where he was mentored by Dr. Kenneth Johnson, a triple Ph.D. in Sports Medicine, Sports Nutrition, and Oriental Medicine. His education continued under the guidance of renowned chemist Raymond Francis in 1996, who provided advanced training in supplement chemistry and bioavailability—critical knowledge rarely taught in traditional nutrition programs.

In 1994, Robert earned his Personal Training Certification from Hayward State University and gained practical experience at 24 Hour Fitness, developing expertise in exercise physiology with a focus on bilateral function and optimal body mechanics.

In 2015, Robert expanded his expertise into biohacking, studying the science of optimizing human performance through measurable lifestyle interventions and self-experimentation. This knowledge enhanced his ability to help clients make precise, data-driven improvements to their health and longevity.

Main points

  • We keep our health by consistently working on it and making good daily choices
  • An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure
  • Put good things into body and minimize the bad stuff (environmental toxin exposure, unhealthy foods)
    • Toxins are synergistic
  • Sleep is important is when we regenerate and detoxify the brain
  • Exercise vibration plates, rebounders move lymph and help lymph drainage
  • Stress reduction such as meditation

His story

  • He lived in the Seychelles
  •  Islands for four years, then Greenland for 21 months
  • Dirk Peasrson’s book
  • Then he went to las Vegaswhere he met his first mentor, Dr. Ken Johnson who refuted the allopathic approach of concern only for symptoms
  • In 1996, h=Robert met his second mento Raymond Francis 9author of Never BeSick Again and Never fear Cancer Again
  • His third mento was Russel Jaffe, MD whose motto is physiology before Pharmacology
    • Dr. Jaffee determined 8 biometrics for longevity including HbA1c
      • Robert considers Dr. Jaffe’s products to be the gold standard of the industry
      • Dr. Jaffe\s biometrics
        • HbA1c Hemoglobin A1c C measures how body is managing blood sugar levels
          • Should be less than 5 %
        • HsCrp high sensitivity c reactive protein should be < 0.5h
          • Measures inflammation
          • Body is steady state of repair
        • Homocysteine < 6
          • Methylation vitamins (folate and B 12 ) help keep homocysteine in normal range
          • Associated with cardiac risk
          • Is bidirectional relation ship with high blood pressure
        • Oxidized LDL< zero
          • Adequate nutrition protection
        • 8 oxy guanine
          • < 5.3 nanograms urine test to measure oxidative stress, DNA destruction
        • Vitamin D3
          • Most important, have your doctor measure this
          • Want vitamin d 3 between 50 and 80
          • Studies showed high vitamin d 3 levels was protective against covid
        • First morning urine pH
          • Can measure with pH strips
          • Ideal is pH between 6.5 and 7.5
          • If too acidic, indicates possible metabolic acidosis which is like a car rusting out
          • So can work on getting the body in an alkaline state
            • Tip use lemon in morning for alkalinizing in body
            • Magnesium good for sleep and alkalinizing body
            • Baking soda can raise alkalinizing body
            •  
        • LRA lymphatic reaction pathway
          • Shows if is healthy immune tolerance
    • Note, another model available to all for free is Patrick Holford’s model

Robert believes in simplicity

  • Raymond Franccis’ model
    • There is only one disease which is cellular malfunction
    • Cells malfunction long before doctors give the health condition a name\
    • nutritional deficiencies and toxicities are the causes of disease
    • Raymond Francis describes six pathways\        
      • Nutrition pathway
      • Toxin pathway
      • Mental pathway
      • Physical pathway
      • Genetic pathway
      • Medical pathway
  • Cells
    • Cells regenerate some quickly (
      • stomach lining every 3 – 6 days
      • intestinal lining regenerates every 5-7 days
      • skin  cells 2-3 weeks
      • red blood cells every 120 days
      • liver cells regenerate every three years,
      • fat cells every ten years
      • skeletal cells regenerate every ten years
      • limited or no regeneration heart muscle cells, brain neurons
  • Health tips
    • Do our best to make good daily life choices
    • The key is having the knowledge of what choices to make
    • Baseline vitamins: Vitamin C, essential fatty acids]      if one just does this with high quality supplements
    • Avoid seed oils they are heavily oxidized and turn rancid
    • EMF tips
      • Avoid WIFI, consider ethernet
      • Co not use cell phone in moving contained vehicle
      • Protective clothing
        • Environmental solutions or ki sciences in UK
        • Lambs (Havas in US
    • Gluten turns into gluteomorphin and dairy into casomorphin both of which are addicting  chemicals
      • Gluten in US contains glyphosate which destroys intercellular communication, opens up the intestinal barrier and blood brain barriers (EMF does these three things as well)), harms the shikamate pathway in the gut which makes tertiary amines such as serotonin, tryptophan and melatonin, and interferes with detoxification pathways
    • To help with toxins
      • Vitamin C,
        • Vitamin C helps with collagen, tissue repair
        • Is an antibiotic at doses over 10 grams
          • Dr. Levy states vitamin C can help cure sepsis
        • Dr Richard Cheng successfully treated covid cases in Wuhan in 2020
        • Sarah Myhill in her protocol starts with high doses of vitamin C to clean out the fermenting upper gut
        • Dr Jaffe’s vitamin c is made out of beets, not corn corn has glyphosate) and is L ascorbic rather than ascorbic acid
      • infrared sauna (130 – 135 degrees)
        • note others say higher temperatures to elicit heat shock proteins)
        • Robert  state the key is to lie down so can tolerate the heat  for an hour or so which will help get the toxins out
        • Then get a louffa and catfield soap and take a shower to get the toxins out of the body
      • Hyperbaric oxygen (HBOT)
        • Body needs oxygen helps with brain function, prevents neurons from dying
        • Is the best treatment for a traumatic brain injury
      • Red light
        •  
      • PEMF
        • For stimulating stem cells
      • Infrared light therapy
  • Biohacking
    • Having tools to measure where physiology is at
    • Dr Jaffe’s work is a good measure of such markers
      • He says can increase life  5- 30 years.
  • Biohacking tools
    • Aura ring gives info on nightly sleep, how long it takes to get to sleep
      • Sleep is important is where body does a lot of healing.  The brain detoxifies during sleep
      • He uses this to
      • Have room dark without EMF (computers, cell phone
    • Lumen
      • Measures fat or glucose burning capabilities
      • Gives suggestions on how to maximize fat burning
        •  We burn either fat or glucose predominantly
    • CGM continuous glucose monitor
      • Measure glucose response to various foods
      • We want our glucose levels not to fluctuate widely
      • Sugar feeds cancer so we want to keep our glucose levels steady
    • Smart watches, smart scales
    • Rehitbike (endorsed by Dave Asprey) start exercising slowly, the full out for 20 minutes slow for 3 minutes and then 20 seconds will increase vO2 max ( a best measure for fitness)
      • Is short easy workout
  • Nutritional mistakes
    • Not having a comprehensive program
    • Get meats grass fed not pummelled with hormones, antibiotics and insecticides
    • For plants, our soils have been depleted of nutrients
      • 100 years ago, one ounce broccoli had 80 g magnesium, today we are lucky to get 5 mg magnesium

Magnesium

  • Magnesium good for sleep and alkalinizing body,
  • Magnesium helps with anxiety and blood pressure
  • Magnesium is used up in digesting sugar
    • Sugar uses same pathway in brain as opium per Raymond Francis
  • A lot of magnesium is destroyed in body
    • Dr Jaffehas developed form of magnesium (with Choline citrate)
  • that is not destroyed by stomach acid

Pain Relief

  • Bilateral function approach
  • Pain is a signal that something is wrong
  • He believes pain can be prevented by keeping balance in the body
  • If shoulders are tilted to one side and hips are tilted to the other side, it bends the spinal column
  • Gene Couch (Palo Alto) teaches balance, how to sit, stand and walk, sleep in balance
  • Tru align system lie down face down
