Meet Tracy Duhs.
I've been a guest on Tracy's podcast in the past. You can listen to that episode here.
Tracy, like me, was homeschooled K-12, so she's a bit…well…weird, like me. Also, like me, she believes that optimal health is a fundamental right for all humanity, not just a privilege for a select few. Helping people activate their vitality and feel alive has been Tracy’s lifelong mission. Growing up in a missionary home cultivated her profound sense of compassion and her desire to educate on the simple foundations needed to look and feel our best.
Also like me, by the time she was 15, Tracy had already begun her undergraduate education in medicine. At 16, Tracy shadowed a missionary doctor working in an indigenous village in Guatemala, where she gained hands-on surgical and medical training. The time she spent there opened her eyes and enlarged her heart, to the need for holistic wellness education and foundations.
After her experience in Guatemala, Tracy decided to forgo a traditional allopathic medical career in favor of one that focused on regenerative care and education. When Tracy became a mother, her professional path took a personal turn. Her first child, Grace, was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroid and Alopecia Universalis at the age of two. Emboldened by her daughter’s struggle, Tracy began her journey into hydration education by pursuing a Ph.D. in the field of biogenetics as well as shadowing doctors from all around the globe to learn their different approaches to disease. It was through these experiences that Tracy became passionate about hydration as she learned the power hydration has to transform overall health and wellness in all people.
Today, Tracy works as a modern wellness advocate specializing in the restorative powers of intelligent hydration. She has parlayed her wealth of experience and knowledge into a multi-dimensional career in wellness advocacy and education, starting with her podcast, HYDRATE. Tracy frequently consults large corporations and hotels to help build and facilitate wellness experiences. She also serves as the director of the International Brain Summit, is the founder of the Sanctuary Wellness Experience in San Diego, and the co-founder of Hydrate at the Sanctuary.

As a new father, and moving into a new house should I be worried about chemicals and heavy metals in the city water being absorbed into mine and my family’s skin like in the shower, or remaining on dishes after they’ve been washed? Or is drinking the water the only way to put measurable amounts of those harmful chemicals into my body?
The water and wellness hydrogen tablets contain dextrose. Is that something to be concerned about?
Ben ,
I’ve been recently diagnosed with MMP ( mucus membrane Pemphigoid) will structure water help with this?
Structured water is awesome! The EMF pollution is quite real with regular filtered water. i would definitely give it a try!
Did it help any? I have mucus membrane pemphigoid too and looking for anything to add on to my meds.
Hi Ben,
You mentioned that it’s not yet affordable to make our own ddw at home. In Lithuania we have this old school way of preparing drinking water where you take a bowl full of normal water outside to minus C° for a few hours, then get rid of the frozen top layer which I reckon is deuterium rich because it freezes quicker. Then you leave it outside again, then consume the next frozen layer and get rid of the remaining unfrozen water (together with toxins etc). I give this to my baby to drink. Ideally you leave the water in a sunny place for it to change frequency. Do you think it’s a valid solution?
Cool episode with great content! Can I ask what type of Vitamix blender Tracy uses/recommends exactly? What criteria to take into consideration to maximise the blend quality? There are lots of types in the links to Amazon and prices vary. They are not created equal I guess.
Hell, this is Tracy Duhs,
I use a professional series 750 Vitamix with a Stainless steel pitcher I ordered from Amazon.
Hi Ben,
I just bought a Aquatru water filter. I store my water in a 5 gallon glass jug on the counter. I add Celtic salt to the jug but was wondering if I should add Quinton vials to the glass jug of water as well?
Dearest Joseph,
Everyone can benefit greatly by adding Quinton to their water because it contains all 78 trace elements from the ocean that are the building blocks for life. These minerals are also in perfect balance to the ratios our own blood plasma should be according to Rene Quinton from 1895.
Hope that helps. Here is a link

Ben, you give an insanely high amount of value, and I’m forever grateful and appreciative of you and your work! Thank you!!
That being said – Hearing the swishing liquid sound is something close to torture & what I imagine hell to be like.
Is Ben swishing the elixer throughout the episode? When listing with headphones it’s super distracting.
Ben never was a fan of audio quality as he often does shows with him on a treadmill huffing and puffing away get used to it.
What does Tracy use to vortex her water?
Hello darling. Here is a link to my specific vortexing device.

Hi Ben, I’ve been wanting to ask you for a while:
If water needs to form a vortex in order to move when being forced through a pipe, wouldn’t it be structured by the time it comes out of the tap?

Holy crap I had to restructure my brain as I was reading that…thanks. I knew your Dad was into water but that was a more sophisticated perspective than I expected. The part about the mineral encasement is especially fascinating
I have a condition that dehydrates my body, Sjogren’s syndrome and trying out this deuterium depleted water could help me with my current treatment. Only setback is having the access and affordable costs in the long term.
