Week 12: A Doctor’s 52 Week Journey to an Unprocessed Life

Spectacular Speaker-Focused Summary: Go Unpro Podcast Week 12 – Proof of Life, Microbiome Mastery & Unprocessed Progress

Dr. Brent Laartz  A candid weekly update on personal setbacks (illness, house move) while celebrating small victories. He reinforced the centrality of microbiome health, outlined specific Week 12 targets across diet, movement, sleep, creativity, and plastics reduction, and reviewed cumulative progress from Weeks 1–12. The host emphasized accountability, whole-food preparation, and gradual lifestyle upgrades toward a 90–95% unprocessed life by Week 52.

Key Points and Decisions

Microbiome focus: Daily movement + increased fermented foods remain foundational; microbiome influences hormones, immunity, mood, and performance.

Diet upgrades: Increase Sunday prep of dairy-free yogurts, beans, and vegetables; move from 2–3 to 3–4 vegan days/week; reduce alcohol to 8 drinks/month; favor low-sugar NA drinks for social settings.

Movement: Target 7–8 combined cardio/resistance sessions weekly (including double-activity days); add one group class (Pilates/yoga); prioritize morning exercise when possible; schedule post-move tennis.

Sleep optimization: Install automatic blackout curtains in new home; enforce no food after 8 p.m., no exercise/hot tub after 7 p.m.; maintain cool, dark bedroom.

Creativity & connection: Begin weekly social painting/art sessions; continue journaling, affirmations, and reconnecting with friends/family.

Plastics reduction: Replace parchment paper with vegetable-based Patapar paper; maintain ongoing elimination of plastic kitchenware and household products.

Cumulative habits retained: 40+ whole foods weekly, daily greens/berries/fermented foods/fiber, time-restricted eating, meditation, gratitude, language learning, and community volunteering.

Next Steps

Implement increased food prep and vegan-day targets immediately.

Test Patapar paper in cooking and report results.

Install blackout curtains and automation in new residence post-move.

Schedule recurring social painting session and one weekly vegan restaurant outing.

Continue daily accountability tracking and morning sunlight exposure.

Maintain all prior 12-week habits while layering on Week 12 enhancements toward the 52-week unprocessed goal.

Announcer Lucas

[ 00:00:00,000 ]Welcome to the Go Unpro Podcast, a doctor's 52-week journey to an unprocessed life. Now, here is your host Dr. Brent W. Lartz, associate professor of infectious diseases and internal medicine, neuroscientist, and best-selling author.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:00:15,760 ]All right everyone.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:00:17,430 ]Welcome, welcome, welcome to week 12 of a doctor's 52-week journey to an unprocessed life. Uh this week is uh proof of life in getting in the way of plans. However, with all obstacles and setbacks, there are a few little victories in those times. Uh let's say your little successes, okay? Um the little thing getting in the way of my life this week is an illness. I have the closing of a house and moving, all of these things, and the illness really kicked my butt, I'll tell you. I was out for a couple of days. And during those times, what do you need?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:00:56,240 ]you need some comfort food, and you know, is there any truth to the is it starve a cold, feed the flu, starve the cold, starve the flu, feed the cold? Who knows which it is. Uh but sometimes you just feel like you either need to not eat and you need to settle rest things or you need to um have some comfort foods, perhaps some candy or something else that makes you feel better during those times. And I'll tell you, I really needed some of that and really had a couple like a two-day setback, okay?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:01:29,450 ]So, I think at one point we talked about that you don't want to string two bad days in a row or get off the horse for too long. You got to get back up on that horse immediately when you've sensed everything. And I'll tell you, I've really done that pretty well and had the little successes that I had, uh getting out for a walk when I was in bed all day for two days on a weekend. Luckily, I had the week off, uh during this timeframe getting prepared for a move. Didn't help me in the fact of my move, uh getting delayed a little bit, at least the packing did.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:02:06,320 ]it didn't delay the movement

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:02:07,540 ]the move is still happening. And I I praise uh the Lord for that. That is going to be an amazing new house that we're going to be in. Uh thank um thank everyone that's helped me with that. My girlfriend's helped me with planning some of this and my daughter, my mother, everyone in the family really pitching out um pitching in to get uh what needs to be done done. Okay.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:02:31,370 ]for on on week 12 and uh what are we uh what are we really discussing on all 52 weeks of this so year of of journey to an unprocessed life? I don't think that there's going to be a single episode where we don't talk about the importance of the microbiome and my microbiome and what I feel like that I need to accomplish here and with all of the uh fermented foods that I'm going to be adding to my diet. And I've already had a pretty good handle on this what I thought was a pretty good handle on it. You know, do you ever

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:03:09,640 ]realize that um what you thought was really healthy may not have been as healthy as you thought it was. I was eating yogurt and dairy-free yogurt probably two three times a week and and uh had some really good healthy choices that I was making, but I also had some unhealthy choices too. So, there is not an area of my life that my microbiome doesn't touch. Last week in Sunday Science

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:03:37,960 ]We talked about your microbiome and its importance for endurance and how a marathon runner's microbiome contains a very high level of a couple of different types of bacteria that use lactic acid to produce fuel for your muscle. And these bacteria not in in the presence of a sedentary individual in their microbiome, it is however in these microbiomes.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:04:09,950 ]These bacteria are Veillonella, um Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus plantarum, and one other one Bifidobacterium longum. Um, and so really the main study of marathoners is the Veillonella, but so potentially is there a way to do something about that?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:04:31,350 ]And it doesn't involve necessarily supplements and and these uh fermented foods, though it can. Uh but you're not going to become a marathoner by adding these bacteria into your intestines because they're not going to thrive there unless you are doing some of these exercise activities. And so this is where supplementing may be an added benefit, but you need to and I need to um

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:05:01,030 ]do that daily movement to grab a hold of those bacteria and influence the the population that is in your intestines. Um so your my microbiome affects my sex hormones, it affects my stress hormones, it affects my mood, motivation, feelings of satiety, uh performance on everyday tasks can be affected, your immune system, your weight. That is where the diet, exercise, sleep, creativity, and plastics in your life impact your microbiome and the rest of your life through it, okay?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:05:38,930 ]So, here's what we're going to do in week twelve here. We've really built a solid base here, and that's just the just the base of what we need to do. Um, we need to expand on that and we're going to get to that. We're going to get to the unprocessed life through this. By week fifty-two, we're going to really have a ninety percent, a ninety-five percent unprocessed life by the by the end of it. So our diet this week, really going to increase my food prep of dairy-free yogurts, beans, and veggies every Sunday essentially, okay?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:06:15,460 ]and I prep it on Sunday and then each day of the week when we're when I'm cooking food. And this is what people in blue zones do. They prepare their own food. They don't um they don't

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:06:28,890 ]Let somebody else prepare it. They don't get fast food. They don't go to the grocery store and get um already prepared food for the family. And granted, that is a real convenience, right? And I'll tell you, I've um I see the benefit of it for somebody who's really busy. But your microbiome will um thank you for preparing your own food and your own whole foods at that. So beans uh are a great source of of protein for those who are mostly vegan.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:07:02,060 ]Um dairy-free yogurts, um can provide also some of that um protein as well. Um I'm increasing to four vegan days per week. A little bit difficult this past week because of the um need for some energy, um and comfort foods. Uh but this is what we're doing this week, trying to get to four vegan days per week. We've been doing pretty good with three, two to three. We want to get to three to four. I'm increasing um um the NA drinks, so the non-alcohol drinks.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:07:40,560 ]So in other words, let's say an NAB beer or something like that and have it be low sugar, um and um using those as an ability to get out into a social activity setting, let's say a bar perhaps, right? And still being able to drink a beer, have that nice refreshment, but have it be without the alcohol. And then, um, and we talked about having, um, only 12 to 15 drinks a month. Now we're getting it down to eight drinks a month. So that's essentially allowing one drink twice a week, so two drinks per week.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:08:19,390 ]and that'll get us to eight. Uh one social activity per week with a healthy vegan meal, inviting people out to vegan restaurants. And let's uh let me I think we discussed this in the last couple of weeks, especially when I was in Paris, France. I went to the vegan restaurant and they basically had um every meal, every dish that they served there had either a vegan cheese or a vegan meat. Well,

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:08:45,620 ]I'm not really a big fan of either. And so if I can make a meal and I would think people who are creating these vegan meals should be able to cook and create a dish that is vegan because I can, my girlfriend can.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:09:07,650 ]Telephone call there?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:09:11,230 ]Let's set that up. Mute Got to do that.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:09:15,600 ]Alright, so, uh again, little things getting in the way of life, right? So this is uh where we're at, right? Okay, so, um movement, uh the importance of core activities. This weekend after I move, I'm going to be getting together uh a couple of people for tennis. Um those core activities really are associated with um improvement in in balance, okay? So, um seven or eight activities, combination of cardiovascular and resistance. So now, even though there might be one day a week off, you have that rest day, but we want seven to eight activities.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:09:51,000 ]that means on at least one or two days out of the week, there's going to be two activities per week of cardiovascular and resistance training. Uh one class per week. Um this is the social part. Um I'm not a big fan of of let's say the Pilates or the other types of yoga, etcetera. Um but um it is something that I need. So I'm going to do it. Uh my girlfriend signed us up and I did my first class last week. Amazing.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:10:22,040 ]it was tough, I'll tell you. Um, I'm used to doing it by myself and maybe I don't push myself hard enough in that times. Uh, but um, exercising in the mornings mainly, I want to try to do that, especially on my week off. It's more difficult when I am working because I need to get that uh exercise in afternoon because once I wake up in the morning, I am a go. I need to get to my patients and I need to get there and see them. So it's makes it a little bit difficult for me to do that, but that might help with my sleep uh issues.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:10:55,090 ]Um, alright. so sleep Uh, what are we gonna do? I'll tell ya I am am biting at the bit. love I love it, I love it. the fact that I will have this new house

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:11:05,120 ]You know why? Because my present condo has a street light shining right in the window. I have these wooden blinds that are slatted that really do do a great job of decreasing the light, but I'll tell you, if you wake up in the middle of the night, you can see clearly throughout the whole room because it is not dark in there. And I can't wait to have a pitch black, um, dark room. Um, there is a, um, double glass door and windows right beside it, big window that's going to open outside.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:11:36,310 ]I haven't seen it at night because, you know, what do you when you walk into your house and you do the walkthroughs and everything and you check it out. They don't let you sleep overnight like they do, uh, let you test drive a car, right? So, um, can't wait to see whether or not that is, uh, the case. Regardless, blackout curtains are going in that room regardless what's happening. Um, even if it looks like it is the absolutely most pristine black room, blacked out room, even with the windows open, we are getting blackout curtains for sure. And automatic ones that can close.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:12:11,210 ]Um, um it's nice if you could actually set those on a timer or automatically open at 6:00 a.m. or something like that. And I think there are automation things I'm going to do with that as well. Um, the less food after 8:00 p.m., this is something I have an issue with. I eat a lot after 8:00 p.m., no exercise after 7:00 p.m.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:12:36,070 ]trying to avoid hot tubs after seven or eight p.m. also, uh mainly having my warm exposure, my sauna or my hot tub exercises and exercises really in the afternoon at the latest. Um, okay, so creativity and connection. Here's something I'm going to start this week, um that I haven't done recently and I've have done in the past and been really uh looking forward to doing it again is doing uh social painting or art activity every week. Um, I think my girlfriend's going to be doing that with some of her friends also, a group painting exercise.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:13:10,900 ]uh but uh then you there are all these different places you can go to that you the charge you thirty or forty dollars. Oftentimes they have wine there too as well to get together. Get together with some friends and do that. Uh my daughter's in town for the summer doing her internship and so

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:13:27,400 ]looking forward to that. So that creativity and connection. Again, um and and keep on top of every single thing we've done the last 12 weeks, okay? Um, every single one of those, keep doing every week, getting uh back in touch with old friends, et cetera.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:13:42,590 ]Okay So, all right, so um again, this is going to be a quick uh quick week here as far as what we're doing. Um plastics. I have a um something I've researched and found here. Um.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:13:56,430 ]you won't see me really getting a lot of specific products out on my podcast because I really don't harp on anything. And let me tell you, I don't get paid for this. I don't get paid for anything. I am not selling anything on any of my podcasts. I will not.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:14:13,860 ]And uh, you know, the um you see other influencers, you see every time you see any kind of influencer or social media, somebody out there who is part of whatever, I don't know, they must be paid influencers by someone to on the protein side, on the high protein side, on the low protein side, on the high um meat and carnivore side, on the vegan side. They're calling these people because they're calling out these people. And and somewhat rightly so because I just saw a

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:14:50,740 ]in Instagram where somebody was had two products and it was somebody from a from a uh food social movement doctor who had two products sitting in front of him and he was harping on the products. And um and it was an ad because it was clearly an ad because it was not only his it was two social media um Instagram let's say Instagram um handles and one of them was the actual name of the product. So you don't really ever get a combined you know collaboration unless it's paid, right?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:15:28,900 ]So, I'm not interested in getting paid on collaborations stuff. This uh may look like I'm bringing out a newspaper here, but I'm actually not. Okay, so, um, my girlfriend and I, we cook a lot with parchment paper. And, and granted, there's there's a lot of different things that have improved parchment paper in the past. A lot of it was bleached and chemically, um, and maybe some of those chemicals could sort of stayed on the paper. But almost every parchment paper there is has something on it to keep it from sticking. Well, you know, what is that that keeps it from sticking?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:16:07,110 ]What is it on your non-stick pans that keeps it from sticking? And what has it been? Okay, so On parchment paper in general, there is silicone. So that is plastic. And in general, almost all of it has silicone. What is silicone?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:16:24,530 ]Silicone is a polymer of plastic with, and it's a very stable, silicone is very stable. It's one of the most stable plastics and hence why it's relatively inert. It is used in, let's say, breast implants and and different types of implants in bodies. Uh but there are known cases where those implants go bad and you can have reactions to it and and um you're cooking with uh at high heats and and those are relatively heat stable.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:16:58,350 ]This is a parchment paper right here that is called Patapar paper. P-A-T-A-P-A-R. I won't put the brand name necessarily on this um podcast.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:17:13,630 ]However, there is only one brand and only one product that I know of out there that is patatpar paper, okay? It's a vegetable paper. It can be used similarly to parchment paper. It is it bakes up to 420 degrees, okay? Um, there is some complaints that certain things will stick to it. And I think a lot of these things are uh baking or things where you're putting liquid onto the paper.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:17:42,740 ]You're supposed to wet the paper and then you're supposed to have when you cook on it, um you're supposed to have um the heat already turned up to that level. You wet the paper, put it on uh the pan, let's say. And I use um I do not use non-stick pans. I use all stainless steel pans.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:18:02,660 ]Um, that that stainless steel, if you feel like what you're doing, let's say a cookie or something sticks too much to it or or some kind of um cake or something like that sticks too much to it, then go straight to the stainless steel and avoid that um cooking on uh on the parchment paper. I'm going to try this out quite a bit here. We'll see how it works. I would rather be um getting rid of most parchment paper if I can. If I have to use some, we'll let you know how it goes here.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:18:39,150 ]Okay, so, um, let's go over here our, um, our so far what we've done. Again, every week this, um, this year, we're gonna at the end tell you what we've done, okay? So, um, that's amazing this, uh, this...

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:19:00,790 ]um outline of what I'm doing and how it has evolved from week one. Week one was the most simple week. Uh what we did was we started serving berries every day. Um and then we started move uh started to move, started to get to out there a couple of days a week, three days a week with cardio, three days a week um with resistance training. Um started an accountability app and I think that is key to my ability to find my way into this. Um and we talked about the importance of sleep and circadian rhythms, getting bright morning light um in the morning.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:19:40,910 ]even if I don't get out and do a walk or exercise in the car, I am not wearing sunglasses, okay? Getting that sunlight. Um and getting out, let's say I get to work at the hospital at 7:00 a.m. and the sun's just coming up. I am getting out um and walking around the parking lot for uh you know ten minutes to get that um blood moving, okay? So I might uh I might get to the hospital more often uh before the sun goes up.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:20:07,170 ]Um, okay, so our supplements that I do, um, and continuing to do over the long run as I get to a more vegan situation, is I need to get that calcium. There's my cough coming back just a little bit as I'm talking here, uh, um, nonstop. Calcium and vitamin D, very important.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:20:29,030 ]B12 and omega-3, those are our most important things.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:20:35,030 ]And um then we we started with our uh cooking utensils and our home utensils, getting rid of plastic, getting rid of um any plastic water glasses in the house and going to steel and glass, okay. Everything I can get in my house switched over to glass and steel. Guarantee you by 52 weeks it's gonna get be rid of from my house. Um this move is going to be interesting because I'm going to try to throw away a few things and try to get uh um a little bit more where I haven't uh touched yet, but we're we're getting there already. Uh we don't use non-stick in my household.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:21:15,080 ]um trying to getting away with any kind of artificial sugar and any added sugar, only honey or agave and I use dates a lot for my um for my yogurts or for example to sweeten it. Um also for my creativity, started painting and did some journaling, did some poetry and and music. Um and uh this here right here is my creativity and my purpose right here. My purpose is living longer, healthier life.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:21:47,240 ]Okay, so the other things we've started, uh, okay, so our greens, our berries, our beans, our fermented foods, trying to get those as often during the week as we can to, and then also the fiber. I use a Fiber Cellium husk every morning. All right, so getting rid of some of the household items for plastic as well, such as soaps and, uh, so laundry soaps and there's these tablets you can use and research it, okay, because this is not just about, um, getting a laundry pod or something like that, it's about getting to an unprocessed, uh, life.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:22:26,700 ]Okay, so um I've avoided processed oils, using seventy-five percent olive oil, some avocado oil, and and cold pressed seed oils might be okay. There is some data potentially against seed oils, but um but whether or not that was uh cold pressed seed oils, we don't know. Getting a lot of tomatoes, bell peppers, um making my own dressings, okay. Um meditation especially at night and then affirmations in the morning, grocery paper bags for uh for pro produce uh to reuse.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:23:03,170 ]Um, let's see, trying to be mostly vegan.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:23:09,110 ]but not, um, my goal is not to be 100% vegan. I'm not in this for for a, uh, save the animals reason. I'm here to to save this animal and our ancestors and the people in whole food blue zone areas. They're eating whole foods and they don't not eat meat, but they save meat for special occasions and meat is in general a luxury, okay? It's not a every day I must eat meat.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:23:40,330 ]So. Alright.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:23:41,860 ]So, um, I've also done the 40 Whole Foods Weekly, so, um, challenge. So, that 40 Whole Foods Weekly challenge is is basically try to find and list every single vegetable, fruit, nut, or bean that you use every week and try to do 40 different ones. And see how you go with that.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:24:04,410 ]It is difficult.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:24:05,390 ]Um, okay, so especially somebody who probably eats only five, um like maybe some people who are more sedentary and have poor diet choices. Um I was probably in the twenty range and maybe up to thirty sometimes. Um find it difficult to get to forty and and uh succeed uh only by really concentrating on it. Um the other part about that we started a few weeks ago, really we we've started this for months now but um really trying to get at it weekly is some charity and giving and community and volunteering.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:24:39,570 ]volunteering at a local um shelter feeding uh families uh there um that are that are residing at this place. It's the same families almost every week. Um, let's see, what do we we we have done fasting and restricted time feedings. Um, I just got a the metal pen. I didn't bring it with me, but I have a metal some metal pens that I've gotten to get rid of my plastic there as well. Um, sleeping in dark, cosmetics and and lotions etcetera.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:25:13,770 ]Um, and really it's just about the affirmation of of the need for the week, right? Of need, of what you need to do every week, um, to get to where you need to go. Okay?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:25:28,290 ]Um, last week we talked about stretch and yoga and classes and weights at home. Um, those weights at home important. Um, and also, um, the colder room for sleep. Um, classes and clubs and learning, uh, learning lifelong and and I'm learning languages. I'm learning French better and I've already pretty well mastered Spanish, all right? Me, mi español es muy poco pero, um, cada cada semana mucho mejor porque tiene pacientes. Tengo pacientes.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:26:05,130 ]tengo tengo pacientes en mis hospitales que solamente hablan español y entonces necesito que comprender y hablar español. Entonces

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:26:25,490 ]Am, soy mejor también, ¿ok?

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:26:31,930 ]So, learning better every week. I love it when I have a Spanish-speaking only patient because I really love the the challenge to practice my Spanish. I try to learn more words. Um, all right, so and then we're minimizing our bottles. I think in the past I've had to use bottles because, um, because there's no way to fill up my 32-ounce glass after I drink it on the way to work. There's no way to fill up more until I get it home. So, um, I've used that to drink some water at the hospital. So, we're making better choices every week.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:27:12,150 ]we're again increasing the food prep so that we can get to now fermented foods many days per week, beans many days per week, fruits many days per week, um and greens many days per week. It's gonna, you know, and that 40, once once we get to this point where we're food prepping this, 40 is easy. We're gonna have to change this probably by the end of 52 weeks where we get to a 50 vegetable um week, okay? So we'll talk about that later.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:27:44,730 ]Alright. So again, this week increasing food prep, um and increasing non-alcoholic drinks, we're decreasing to eight drinks per month.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:27:56,320 ]exercising in the mornings, importance of cord activities, um we're getting better lighting in the house for for our sleep, and then also the social painting and art activity, um and again we're getting rid of our parchment paper in favor of this vegetable uh padipar paper.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:28:14,830 ]Okay, so Thanks for joining me for week 52. Thank you. I love uh getting together with you guys. Um, thank you. I love you guys. I love me. I love you.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:28:25,410 ]we are doing it together. Um and um if and again, this is not me telling you what to do. This is telling me what I'm doing and holding myself accountable. So every week I can get um on the paper and on the video, etcetera, everywhere where we're at, what I'm doing so I can hold myself accountable. You don't have to follow everything that I do. Do your own research. Do whatever you want to do. Do what you feel like you learn about the microbiome and movement, diet, sleep, creativity and connection. Do what feels great to you.

Dr. Brent Laartz

[ 00:29:01,910 ]do what feels good and helps your life become a better person, okay? So, um, again, if you're watching this on uh not watching, if you're listening to this on an audio podcast, just know, again, this podcast is available on video podcast on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, uh Substack, and on gownpro.com.
