00:00:42
Speaker
All right, and welcome everybody from Spencer Serenade. This is our first swap cast. So welcome listeners, viewers, wherever you're at. Thank you for joining us today. We've been hitting on the topic of health quite a bit lately. And this is just another key ingredient to that conversation. Because like Christian said, you don't have to suffer in silence anymore. The medical systems that are set up are
00:01:09
Speaker
how to put it lightly garbage compared to all these alternatives that aren't praised by the mainstream or promoted by the mainstream. So look into either Christian himself or someone similar doing alternative medicine and diagnosing because they have
00:01:29
Speaker
I would say way better results than most mainstream medical practices. So yeah, without further ado, let's get into this swapcast. Let's talk some health and what to do about it. I'll just add that you don't even need to get diagnosed. You know, this is another trait of the mainstream paradigm that is actually not really that necessary.
Critique of Mainstream Medicine
00:01:50
Speaker
If you go to someone, if you go, let's say if you go to a regular doctor, they've been taught for whatever six years
00:01:59
Speaker
to pinpoint something and then look into their little manual and then find a poison for that. Yeah. Try to poison it out of you for a while and then hopefully you come back with some other element. So you don't actually even need to get a diagnosis in many cases. Well, look, I'm not saying though, if I'm not giving you medical advice, if you feel like you have something, go and see your doctor and make sure you follow the exact
00:02:24
Speaker
everything to the letter they tell you about your diet and your exercise regimen, make sure you listen to every single thing that they say. But I'm just saying that if you have a health condition or some type of health issue and you go to somebody that knows what they're doing, that knows how to restore health, all you actually have to do is restore your health, your vitality, your metabolic rate,
00:02:47
Speaker
to a level where those symptoms will melt away. You literally are restoring health into the organism and a symptom of good health is a lack of symptoms. Let's just put it that way. That's a good way to put it. Yeah, we actually just had a similar sub conversation in our last episode with my Reiki instructor just talking about
00:03:09
Speaker
All of these different modalities in bringing your body back to its natural state of healing that's what your body is meant to do it's meant to heal itself we don't need all these external pharmaceuticals and pills medications we don't need all of that as long as we're keeping.
00:03:27
Speaker
good care of our body and letting it get to that state where it can heal itself. And that's whether it's the physical side, the mental side, or the energetic side, all of those need to be in a balance enough to let your body do what it's naturally meant to do. So, love that point. We can't hit on that enough talking about health. It's not—you don't need these external factors coming in and messing with your body's natural functions. So, thanks for bringing that up. We love that.
00:03:57
Speaker
And you're so right about the mental psychological aspect, you know, we have to really
00:04:05
Speaker
remember that we are living in unprecedented levels of stress in this current society.
Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Health
00:04:12
Speaker
It's a constant stress from the moment. I'll be the first to admit it. I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do, I haven't even gone to the bathroom yet. I'm on my phone checking emails to see if I got messages. It's not normal. It's really not normal to be exposed to so much
00:04:32
Speaker
blue light at night and Wi-Fi signals. These are all stresses. And the fact that the phones, the social media creates stresses, again, deadlines and, or did I, like, every, like looking at other people's lot as well, that creates a psychological stress, which actually leads to a hormonal
00:04:55
Speaker
Cascade in the body that has detrimental effects in many ways could be in a state of stress. Where your body thinks it's in like in a fight in a war or it's in starvation even though you're at home you're safe and sound.
00:05:12
Speaker
and you've eaten three times today and you've eaten ample calories, your body still may be creating signals of war and famine. So we really have to help people address the psychological stress as much as all the other stresses that may be causing dysfunction and disease. Yeah, most definitely. There's way too much going on for our body to quiet itself and
00:05:41
Speaker
do its natural thing it's like you said the the wi-fi the emf the the blue light but going beyond that we got the food where it's stressing your body to a point where it thinks it's starving because it's not getting the right nutrients um it's trying to process these things that it can't naturally process so
00:06:01
Speaker
that adds another level to that stress. The water we're drinking isn't, there's chemicals and certain things in it that aren't able to be processed by our bodies either. So you're adding another level of stress and it's just stress, stress, stress, stress. You know, when, again, going back to our last conversation, we talked
00:06:21
Speaker
about how something like Reiki or meditation can bring you to that slight state of bliss and people people don't necessarily realize that subtle difference between what they normally are and that small state of bliss and when you ask them the question of oh when's the last time you felt that and they start thinking back and they're like
00:06:43
Speaker
Man, almost never. That's going to the point of you're constantly stressed out. You're constantly doing this, doing that, running around. If you start learning about this stuff, you're stressed about that, what you eat. It's a hard, difficult road to get going. But then it becomes easy. You start these good habits of mindfulness practices. You start the good eating habits, the good drinking habits.
00:07:09
Speaker
And you get all that kind of ingrained in your system, then it becomes easy. Then it's just a lifestyle. So that's the big hump I think people need to overcome. And that's the hardest part about this is getting to that lifestyle. And that's something you bring up, something I bring up. It's take it a step at a time. Do what you can do now. You know, you start learning about all this, you get freaked out. Okay.
00:07:32
Speaker
What do I have the money to do right now? Oh, I can buy a shower filter. Perfect. Okay. I can buy a sink filter now, six months down the line. Perfect. Just one thing at a time. Start getting away from the boxed foods, the processed foods, all of that, and work your way into a more natural system. Even if it's something Tim James brings up where knowing the QR codes or the barcodes and the numbers and what they mean, you know, is it,
00:08:02
Speaker
This is this fruit chemically um ripened or is it naturally ripened? Is it sprayed with pesticides? Is it not sprayed with pesticides? You know Even if it takes three four months just to learn that and start getting into that habit of looking at What the barcodes mean and what it is telling you looking at the active ingredients the inactive ingredients in food You know, it's a it take it slow everybody because it can get overwhelming but
00:08:31
Speaker
It's definitely worth it in the long run, wouldn't you say? Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. And I
Sleep and Light Exposure
00:08:35
Speaker
think small little changes in...
00:08:38
Speaker
in the living environment like that are huge men. For example, some of my clients, I recommend them to, the folks that have sleeping problems, I recommend them to get red LEDs on Amazon. They're super cheap, what, three bucks each. And to get some cheap fixtures, you know, to put the LED bulbs in. And to have one in the living room, in, let's say, the bedroom, if it's their child's bedroom,
00:09:07
Speaker
or their own bedroom, ideally every bedroom, every corridor, every bathroom. And then when the sun sets, switch off the regular lights or let's say an hour to two before bed. This is the way we do it. So my daughter goes to bed around 9 p.m. so we'll switch off the regular, I actually have incandescent light bulbs. I bought a few.
00:09:29
Speaker
You know, because I saw that they're making them illegal in the States. So I'm like, yeah. Yeah. So in them here, I'll do it. It's crazy. So I bought a few. I bought a couple of packets, you know, have maybe 20, 30 bulbs, but I've already had to replace a couple. So I'm like, Oh damn, these things only last like a thousand hours if they don't die on you before that. So like Jesus Christ, I think I'm going to have to go back to my LEDs. But the thing is,
00:09:53
Speaker
If you turn off the LED, the regular one, especially if you get cooler ones to begin with, get the red LEDs on, let's say an hour or two before bed. You see a lot of less blue light, first of all, and your skin receptors on your skin, sorry, the light receptors on your skin will be perceiving less blue light.
00:10:17
Speaker
So that's another way you can disrupt your circadian rhythm is by you actually have light receptors in your skin. So we do that and we definitely have blue blockers. Actually, I bought my kid who's not even two years old. I bought her tiny little blue blockers.
00:10:35
Speaker
Before she was even born, bro, I bought two pairs of those. So as soon as she's a little bit older and she understands not to break them, like she broke my ones. I had to super glue them a couple of times in the last couple of years or the last year or so. But yeah, so like for me, wearing blue blockers is, and I'm talking about the red lens ones where you can't see any blue almost.
00:10:59
Speaker
I think that's such a game changer for your sleep. I used to monitor my circadian rhythm with the aura ring. And the difference is night and day wearing blue blockers before bed and not. I think that's huge. But the cheapest and fastest way for everybody to enjoy less blue light, more red light at bedtime is literally a few bucks for some light bulbs, red LEDs.
00:11:27
Speaker
Yeah, so let's get into LEDs a little bit. With the incandescent light bulbs becoming illegal, you would say, hey, sorry for the listeners, if you can hear that. But I got my kid here if you're listening. By the way, this will probably, when I run it through post-production, it will remove some of those sounds, so don't worry about it too much. Okay, cool.
00:11:51
Speaker
So you would recommend red LEDs over just regular LEDs because I've heard not good things about LEDs and how they disrupt your circadian rhythm and actually destroy your eyes. They're not great. Like the red LEDs ones we have are very small in terms of power output. But like, dude, if that's the only thing, what can you do, right?
00:12:14
Speaker
Yeah exactly that's what's tough yeah switching to red reduces some of the because they're very bright they're very strong i don't know that this technology is pretty amazing it's good technology and just unfortunate that a lot of technology as good as it is and as convenient as it is it's just detrimental to us because we're we're.
00:12:34
Speaker
electrical beings we're biological beings we light is a nutrient to us so if you disturb those equilibriums we suffer so that's like if you can if you can get in I was even thinking in getting incandescent lights and spray painting them red but that's just too much work because they don't last long enough but it's a it's a trade-off for sure yeah
00:13:00
Speaker
Yeah, it sucks that they're making these illegal. Like I said, I cannot.
Non-Toxic Living Challenges
00:13:05
Speaker
What's their reason? They're warming up the client and penguins are dying or something. The penguins are drowning, the water's levels gone too high even though it hasn't changed ever, like in the last 200 years. Animals left and right are dying, you understand?
00:13:23
Speaker
You have to reduce your quality of life or penguins will drown and fish will like, I don't know, fish will happen. Yeah, that's what Greta Thunberg tells me. Greta Thurdberg. Thurdberg. It's so rough because it is something that's like you start looking into these things and you get discouraged because they're making the healthy alternatives illegal.
00:13:52
Speaker
You know, they've already done that with homeopathic medicine and alternative energetic healing modalities or anything along those lines. If it goes against a Rockefeller medical system, it's illegal already. And now they're moving into, like you said, our quality of life, where it's you're getting mostly toxic cleaning chemicals, you're getting mostly
00:14:15
Speaker
toxic light bulbs, you're getting mostly toxic personal hygiene products and there's not many alternatives. Well, there are many alternatives, but they're not promoted. They're not carried in major stores that most people shop at and you have to go to these alternative stores that might or might not exist in your town. And then, you know, some of them are pretty expensive, but in the long run, it is worth it because you're not
00:14:45
Speaker
Number one, if you do it correctly, take for example,
00:14:49
Speaker
shampoo. Like, you're not supposed to be washing your hair day in and day out. You know, you're supposed to at least go a week or two weeks, however long you can, to let your hair kind of detox itself. But most people are on the page of, I'm going to wash it every day. And so they buy this expensive bottle of shampoo still continuing that habit. And then you're like, well, I'm not going to spend $60 on a bottle of shampoo that's going to last me a week and a half.
00:15:18
Speaker
If you do it right that shampoo is gonna last you four months five months you know the basically the shelf life of it. But it's breaking these old habits the getting out of that.
00:15:30
Speaker
that programming, that indoctrination that everybody's been set to of, you know, most people are going to scoff at a lot of this, oh, I need to wash my hair. It's gross. Or something like brushing your teeth. It's like, you're not supposed to be brushing your teeth two, three times a day. That's just ripping them apart with the bristles, especially with
00:16:04
Speaker
toothpaste and soap are two things. So thinking back to college, I did a project, but this was before my red pill, but I did a paper, a research paper on these types of things. Toothpaste and soap are not supposed to bubble. That's the, for psychological. Yes. Yeah. So they add these chemicals and they're mostly carcinogens or very toxic to your body to make it
00:16:04
Speaker
the top.
00:16:28
Speaker
have the appearance that it's cleaning because otherwise people were like, this isn't doing anything. It's not bubbling. And so again, going back to breaking that programming, it's like, it doesn't need to bubble. It's true. Cause sometimes I'll buy some toothpaste as a gel and I'm like, this, I'm not this thing. Is this thing working? It's not even, it's true. Do I waste my money on this toothpaste? It's just gelling where it's not forming. What the hell?
00:16:55
Speaker
Yeah, it's such a weird thing that we've been so programmed to think about these things. All you need is baking soda. Like some guys I follow, they'll just use baking soda to brush their teeth and close and wash clothes with it and you can clean counters with it. All you need is actually lemon juice or vinegar or citric acid, which is an industrial product.
00:17:19
Speaker
We have citric acid, lemon juice, strong vinegar, 14% vinegar, which is very, very strong.
00:17:27
Speaker
I mean, we buy organic products, clean products and body personal care products. But I honestly, I just use a shower gel and I tried the Castile soap. Castile soap is actually mostly oil, olive oil, glycerin. So I got an organic one, five liters of that, like more than a gallon. It was olive oil.
00:17:54
Speaker
vegetable glycerin 30% 70% olive oil and some soda and that's all you need but that is very drying of the skin so I couldn't really use a long term but that's the I guess that's what
00:18:06
Speaker
a DIY or cheap solution that is super eco because that water can go into your garden. It's actually nourishing in many ways for your plants, so it's not toxic. But now I just use it for the dog when I wash for once in a while. But yeah, dude, the thing is, what we've been brainwashing is that we even need all of these stupid products, dude.
00:18:31
Speaker
Other than a body wash, that's all I use. I wash my hands two or three times a day sometimes because I have a small kid obviously. I use toothpaste that I get organic. That's really all the products I use. In the last two years, I've probably washed my hair with shampoo three or four times or five times maybe.
00:18:51
Speaker
And that's because sometimes I put like these castor oil This castor oil in the hair apparently that's good and nourishing for the hair, but it's so thick and viscous I can't get it out with water. So then I have to use a freaking shampoo, which is kind of drying of the scalp So I'm like this all this nourishment just goes away because otherwise this oil is gonna stick to my pillow run down my eyes I'm gonna have like sore eyes. So anyway, that's but the point being is you know, like even my wife do like
00:19:20
Speaker
She she knows all the stuff we're talking about and she still has like God, you know how women have a lot of products? My wife still has a lot of products and I'm constant not constantly but often I'm telling her you know these chemicals and shit like do a few liver flushes and Like get your gut Better and that's all you need the rest is just marketing and hypo these creams you're taking out the moisture of your skin to put
00:19:47
Speaker
quote-unquote clean it and then you're adding back that moisture with oils and shit and chemicals like there's 30 different things in in each of these products and a lot of them are you know chemicals that are like the skin absorbs everything if you put like for example at the moment I'm looking into
00:20:05
Speaker
Certain supplements that can be transdermally absorbed instead like vitamin D K and like if you it turns out that anything you put on the skin if it's with like a carrier oil or solvent and
00:20:19
Speaker
ethanol, it's going to absorb whatever you put on there. So I think a lot of people, that's where they're getting a lot of endocrine disruptors. And then we were wondering why hypothyroidism or obesity is actually an endocrine problem. It's not a calories in calories out. A lot of people it's it's a hormonal imbalance and all the other things and cancers and whatever else. A lot of these things are in many ways contributed to by
00:20:45
Speaker
endocrine disruption, which a big factor is putting six, seven products on your skin every day.
00:20:52
Speaker
Yeah, most definitely. And I just had this conversation with my fiance this morning. She got her hair spray out or her dry shampoo. I was like, quit using that. Don't use it in the house. And she's like, it's just hair spray. It's fine. I'm like, it's not fine. Just hair spray. Well, my hair is greasy. I can't have it greasy. Why? That's how, I mean, hair naturally produces grease. Why is that such a big deal?
00:21:16
Speaker
Women are so particular about the hair. Don't mess with the hair. Seriously. It's crazy. So I made her go in the other room, but it's still, you know, she sprays it and then 30 seconds later you can smell it four rooms down. And it's like, you're just toxifying our house. You should ask her to do it outside on the balcony. That's what I told her to do. I said, go out on the porch if you're going to do it. Yeah.
00:21:38
Speaker
Oh yeah. But yeah, it's just, it's hard because she's like, well, what am I supposed to do? So there's natural art alternatives. We'll, we'll do the research together. We'll look into it together. And it, that's how it has to be, you know, it's help you help me help us help our family. Dreds. Dreds. Yeah, there you go. I have one client, she has quite a lot of health issues and
00:22:02
Speaker
I do my assessment at the start of the, you know, the starting work with the client with my intake forms. And, you know, we go over, I have them list every single product they use. And I'm like, look at all these products and, and the hair dyes, they're very toxic. The hair dyes. And she's like, I'm not going to change my hair dye. She's just like, listen, listen, guy that I know, I barely know. I'm not changing my hair dye. Okay.
00:22:31
Speaker
So I'm like, okay, that's fine. We'll talk about it in a few months time. And there's some things people won't concede, but you don't have to do everything perfectly. You know what I mean? If you get your diet and your organic food and clean water,
00:22:52
Speaker
have some air filters in the house, I think you've gone a long way in terms of reducing toxic exposures. And then if you have a couple of products that you feel like you really need, then it's not the end of the world, I think. Yeah, I agree with that. There's a certain line in this journey of health and detoxifying that separates you from being
00:23:20
Speaker
honestly, a lunatic about it and just like doing nothing and feeling that little bit of normalcy. You know, a lot of people when they start this journey, obviously, if kids are exposed to it through their parents, then they start it really young. But a lot of these people have already gone through a portion of their life in these certain habits. And that's one big thing that my dad, you know, when I bring this stuff up, he's like, well, you know, I'm halfway through my life already. So
Changing Habits for Healthier Living
00:23:50
Speaker
I've already got my habits. I'm not gonna really change them much. There's things I'll be aware of, but...
00:23:57
Speaker
The point being, a lot of people, when they start this journey, have gone through a portion of their life doing these certain things, using these certain products, and they've gotten accustomed to them and happy with the results of them. And so, yeah, like you said, they're not going to concede on it because it's their lifestyle. And you're essentially trying to take away part of their lifestyle. So they're not going to do that. And it's totally understandable. I get it.
00:24:24
Speaker
It is something if you are willing to take that leap and stop using this or stop using that, stop eating this, stop drinking that, anything like that, it is so, so well worth it because it'll give you a longer life, number one. And number two, actually, I think this should be number one, but a more fulfilled, better quality of life because
00:24:51
Speaker
The sooner that you can get your body, he agrees. He's like, yeah, I'm straight. The sooner that you can get your body feeling good, feeling healthy, you're going to get, you're going to get so much better sleep and you're going to wake up feeling refreshed, rejuvenated instead of these long dragging nights of waking up with dry mouth or a cough or sleep apnea.
00:25:14
Speaker
whatever the case may be, you're going to improve your quality of life tenfold just because of you're taking action of your of your health and your diet and your exercise. And that's such a simple thing to do. And in the long run, it helps out tremendously. It takes away so many different problems, you know,
00:25:35
Speaker
Ultimately, the goal would be if you're really focusing on it to do something extreme like not pay for health insurance anymore because you don't need it because you're healthy. And you know, you might have to set aside money for a physical trauma. So you get in a bike accident or a car accident, something like that. You know, that's obviously your diet, your exercise isn't going to help you not breaking your arm slightly, but it definitely helps the healing process.
00:26:05
Speaker
But for most insurance that people pay for, it's just to pay for these symptoms that are caused by the food, the water, the medicine, all of these symptoms that keep compiling up.
00:26:20
Speaker
And you're paying this insurance to essentially pay back into that system that is causing those problems. It's an endless loop of just feeding the machine, whether it's through the insurance or through the pharmaceutical or through the food companies. So I don't know. It's a tough thing to break, but make that extreme step.
00:26:41
Speaker
I think the insurance companies are very well intertwined with the medical, pharmaceutical complex.
Health Industry Interconnections
00:26:52
Speaker
It's just another way to extract more out of the slaves, basically. Exactly. Before we decide they can have the sweet release of death, I think. Yeah, exactly.
00:27:08
Speaker
I keep telling my fiance this because we're in this conscious awakening and if you're still not seeing the BS that's going on, what will it take to wake you up? Because if you can't see that the insurance industry is in bed with the pharmaceutical industry, is in bed with the food industry, is in food or in bed with the workout health industry, like all of this is all intertwined to
00:27:35
Speaker
make your body deteriorate faster so that this company makes money, then this company makes money, then this company makes money. And it's just a cycle of going through these different things because the workouts that people are pushing, you know, what's big right now, like
00:27:53
Speaker
strongman Crossfit and all these exercises. Yes, they're they're fine. Like you're at least you're exercising But if you look at some of these like you are destroying your body there is no No need whatsoever to be hulking around, you know, you've got a 50 inch chest like there's there's no need for that. You can't even wipe your ass How practical is it, you know?
00:28:14
Speaker
Crossfit it's like you're throwing this weight around like it's like they're toys or Marshmallows and cool. It looks good. It looks cool But what are you doing to your body like your knees? You're gonna have to get knee replacements by the time you're 40 You're gonna have to get hip replacements by 45 or or all these guys doing out like have big respect for guys doing ultra marathons and Yeah, you know, that's that's awesome
00:28:41
Speaker
as an achievement but like that is so so detrimental to your body like. Endurance biking cheese I don't even know how these guys can cycle for four hours and do they even feel their ass like after. Where do they.
00:29:00
Speaker
The whole thing looks horrendous if you have male genitalia, I think. It's just really, really, you really want to hate your genitals to subject them to that sort of punishment. Yeah, for sure. I think exercise, bro.
00:29:19
Speaker
Yeah, we've been given this BS that you need to do however much aerobic, you need to do however much anaerobic exercise or whatever. But the thing is, I think what's more important is you need to be active.
00:29:39
Speaker
do more things that are different all the time like we used to do like let's say you're in the jungle or you were you know working in the garden a lot with the animals and the plants and whatever else so you need to be in different in different positions putting various different minor loads and stresses on the body with the
Exercise and Individualization
00:29:59
Speaker
occasional
00:30:00
Speaker
bout of something. Let's say you're chasing down an animal so it will drop off a cliff and then you can go and devour it. Or you want to climb a tree to get some nuts and stuff or hide from a predator. Or you want to slaughter a pig so you need to then raise up the carcass so you can butcher it. So these are
00:30:24
Speaker
short bouts usually of exercise and people were definitely like I don't care what anyone says people were definitely stronger back in the day and more resilient to stress because we're again going back to stress we're constantly under stress so our adaptive response weakens over time so to me like the way I started exercising now is it's not even exercise but like for example this morning I woke up and
00:30:53
Speaker
maybe I have a what's it 18 hold on it's 18 one second 18 times 2.2 hold on why I cannot do simple mathematics 2.2 so I have a 40 pound kettlebell
00:31:08
Speaker
in my living room and I did like maybe three sets of 10, 15, 20 reps each so like maybe a total of 50 reps and that's all the exercise I did today then I went walking for half an hour so I'll do like walking half an hour to an hour in the morning and then a few push-ups or some maybe if I'm out with my kid I'll do some jumping squats or run up some stairs and a few total
00:31:35
Speaker
time under tension or under load or whatever, that will be a minute in a 10-minute span. So a few bursts or maybe a few sprints in an hour's stretch. And I think that more closely mimics conditions in the wild, and it's less stressful on your body. But you're still getting enough of an adaptation
00:32:02
Speaker
from when the body repairs so that you actually see some benefit be that in body composition, fitness levels or strength, ability to do certain tasks better, faster, etc.
00:32:16
Speaker
Yeah, 100% agree. And a big point of conversation I've had many times is it needs to be individualized, you need to know your body. Because otherwise, if you're going by these standards, like the standardization of everything has really killed
00:32:34
Speaker
the positive mentality of people trying to Attain a healthy lifestyle because it's you know, you said you did some kettlebell sets this morning Well, my lifestyle might not need that those kettlebell sets. I might be doing push-ups Yeah instead or sit-ups instead and it's like if that's fits better for me if I feel better doing that then that's what I'm going to do I don't need to listen to
00:33:03
Speaker
to what you're doing and try to accomplish the same things you're accomplishing because that's not that's not what my lifestyle will need. And same with diet, same with almost everything. I mean, you can't go by these standardized charts anymore. For example, BMIs, like the BMI charts are insanely inaccurate. I in high school
00:33:25
Speaker
being 5'7", weighing about 155 pounds was considered obese. But the muscle mass on me was, I had 6% body fat, 7% body fat on average. And it's like, how can I be considered obese according to this chart? It makes no sense because it's just a standard of, well, if you're this height, then you should weigh this. It's like,
00:33:50
Speaker
That makes no sense. Why are we standardizing everything when everybody you're being told your whole life You're an individual like think for yourself do this do that. You're you're special because you're you Yet everything else is going against that telling us Well, you didn't fall in these standards of these test scores. You didn't fall in this BMI standard You didn't fall in this vision standard. It's like, okay. Well, you're
00:34:14
Speaker
You're telling me I'm an individual, but in the same breath, you're telling me that I need to fall within these standards and be like everybody else. It makes no sense. It's
Societal Influence on Health Perception
00:34:22
Speaker
just this cognitive dissonance that we're so accustomed to because we're always told this and shown this with everything.
00:34:31
Speaker
Yeah, that's by design to a great extent. I think it's because that's, if you keep people confused and you send them mixed messages, they're more easy to manipulate control and they have less of a stable footing in their life.
00:34:47
Speaker
you know I had to bring up the events of the last three years but that's what you were getting like mixed messages all through so people they've no sort of sense of it's like if you're interrogating a prisoner for example you know you need to
00:35:11
Speaker
you need to throw keep them stressed and maybe not sleeping or just threaten them but also then you have to come in and give them hope and that's constant push and pull is what it's really uncomfortable you can't just torture a prisoner you have to you know give them some food say oh everything will be all right you know they were gonna be released tomorrow or whatever
00:35:33
Speaker
That is what really will break an individual. So I think if you subscribe to the idea that society has been engineered by social engineers, then these things should not at all actually surprise us. What we need to do is
00:35:51
Speaker
just figure out how to, for ourselves and our family and whoever else will listen to our message, we just have to help them to break out of these cycles or they could be cycles of habit, cycles of this is the way it's always been done, this is how things should be. Like, for example, you're so right about this BMI, like, even if you look at studies on whatever aspect of health,
00:36:15
Speaker
they tell you the average age and the average weight of a person that's in the study the average ages twenty eight point four years the average weight is you know hundred ninety two point four pounds in that
00:36:30
Speaker
cohort, there might not be one single person that is actually that specific weight, or that specific height, or that specific age, or whatever else. So even when you look at research and they're looking at statistical analysis of the data,
00:36:52
Speaker
There's a lot of BS going around with these meta-analyses and these Cochrane reviews and stuff like that. If you look at, for example, I was looking at one Cochrane review, which is the gold standard of medicine if an intervention is useful or not for a particular condition.
00:37:14
Speaker
I was looking at something with probiotics. And if you look at a Cochrane review, these documents are like 80, 90, 100 pages. And if you just look at the summary before you download that document, it says there was weak data support probiotics. There was
00:37:35
Speaker
some tiny little sliver of OK-ish data that they can be helpful in some cases. And when you actually dig down into the meta-analyses and then you dig down into the individual studies, sometimes you will see a person who completely, whatever condition it was, IBS or even inflammatory bowel disease or whatever,
00:37:58
Speaker
Crohn's, colitis, whatever. Just using, let's say, probiotics completely, their condition went into remission. So if you just go to the highest level to that, you're going to be like, oh, this intervention is useless. I'm going to wait until there's more data supporting its use. And that could be 30 years until they finally say, you know, it could help some people. But if you go and dig down,
00:38:24
Speaker
You're like, well, this could be life-changing for somebody. I need to. Let's say you're a practitioner or a doctor. You should be like, well, I'm going to cautiously try this on some of my clients or patient population and see if it helps certain people may react positively to it. So a lot of the evidence-based aspects of how we help people
00:38:50
Speaker
heal. Let me just kind of delineate how they manage people's symptoms and how people that are actually doing good work help people to heal themselves. If you just follow evidence-based, you're screwed. You're literally screwed because
00:39:08
Speaker
that is really holding back a lot of doctors from even trialing new things because there's no evidence that I don't want to get sued literally imagine being a doctor and your whole idea is to help people heal themselves but you won't try something unless it's covered by insurance or because you don't want to get in trouble you don't give a damn about the person in front of you you just give a damn about your paycheck and and saving your ass and make sure your ass is safe you know and that's what's so shitty is
00:39:37
Speaker
These doctors, most of them are getting into it for the right purposes. There's the select few, the minority that is getting into it for the money. But most people get into it like, I am going to help people. And then they start seeing how corrupt it is and getting your license revoked, you know, not getting your paycheck. I got to make a living too. I got a family to support. So I got to make, yeah, I got to make my paycheck. Otherwise I'm screwed.
00:40:07
Speaker
And so they take an oath to help and heal people and everything they do is contradictory to that. Just like I said earlier, you know, you're told this and you're shown this. Well, doctors are supposed to help you. That's what we're told. But we're shown that doctors are actually causing more detriment than if we were to just let our body fight it off in the first place. You know, a simple sickness, you're getting
00:40:33
Speaker
this medicine or that medicine, this pill or that pill. And what's that pill doing? And you said it so, I don't know if you meant to say it, but they're curing symptoms or managing symptoms. That's all they're meant to do is just manage the symptoms and not treat the underlying cause. And it
Genetics vs. Environment in Health
00:40:52
Speaker
sucks to see that. Because it's genetic, dude. And purportedly because these things are genetic. So how much money has been plowed billions and billions
00:41:00
Speaker
How many hundreds of billions have been plowed into genetics and figuring out cancer the genetic hypothesis and that's clearly bs at this point.
00:41:11
Speaker
They're probably I bet you that's all a front for some of this other stuff that they're doing genetics wise because they want to God knows like God knows how perverted the actual intentions are behind all this money that's been plowed into genetic research. God knows, you know, it's literally it could be unfathomably weird and sick.
00:41:32
Speaker
You can, you can get into some very deep rabbit holes with the genetics and what they're doing with, you know, the DNA testing, the genetic testing, the blood, uh, blood trans or not transplants, but blood donating, plasma donating, anything like that. You can get into some deep, deep rabbit holes with that.
00:41:52
Speaker
Uh, but we won't get into that on today's show. We don't have time for that. We don't have time for that. Yeah. It is, it's so weird though, because something, for example, that I think came out more recently, maybe in the last couple of years or so, but eyesight, it's always, everybody's always been under the impression that it was genetic and they've come out recently and said, no, it's not genetic. We don't know what causes bad eyesight. And I think, I know, I think you might know. What do you think of this?
00:42:21
Speaker
I think it's all these toxins that we're putting into our bodies and the stabbies that they give kids, 30 of them before they're five, but they've come out and said it's not genetic. And it's like, okay, we've been under this impression for however long. It's like, yes, if the science is improving and they're figuring out it's not genetic, fine and dandy, but have they known it's not genetic?
00:42:49
Speaker
You think about how you always see pictures and this this gets down a weird rabbit hole too, but you always see, quote unquote, older pictures and there's people with glasses. But, you know, it doesn't seem like that. It doesn't seem practical that humans would have this
00:43:10
Speaker
essentially fuck up in their genes that will cause poor eyesight. If we're supposed to be evolving, I would say that's devolving. If we're getting things in our genetic code that's messing with what we're allergic to or our eyesight, our hearing, our bad habits, all these things get blamed from genetics.
00:43:35
Speaker
And so it goes against the whole theory of evolution. Like I said, this could be a deep, deep rabbit hole in going against the theory of evolution. But if we're supposed to be trusting the science and believing that they're on the right path of we evolved from this amoeba to now, like look how far we've come.
00:43:50
Speaker
Why are we devolving right now? What is what is different about this time that our evolution peaked and now it's on the downslope? It makes no sense. So I think a lot of these things are not genetic. They are caused by external sources. They're caused by the foods, the waters, because it
00:44:11
Speaker
going back to the oldest pictures known, you don't really see people with glasses, and then you start seeing it. And right around that same time is when the Rockefeller medical system was introduced, the school system was introduced, and the schooling really has nothing to do with the health of it, maybe the mental portion.
00:44:29
Speaker
But it's what we're taught. You know, these things are genetic instead of the food system at the Industrial Revolution completely changing from a naturalistic food system to a chemically factory process system.
00:44:45
Speaker
So there's all these little anomalies that you can overlook very easily. But when you start nitpicking those little details, it's like, hmm, yeah, this this doesn't make sense with the mainstream story. I was looking at some study that there there was an association between myopia shortsightedness with spending less than three hours outside. So I actually think the schooling system probably has a lot to do with it.
00:45:15
Speaker
Because if you're stuck at home under darker light conditions and you're reading a lot of books and now it's a lot of screens and not only are these screens, they're worse than books because they're burning a hole through your freaking eyes with this intense blue light. So I think that's a massive thing. And if you look at China, Jesus, dude, I forgot the stat.
00:45:39
Speaker
that was in the paper. But I think China has like 90% people are short sighted. That's insane. If any educated person like a doctor will come out and say that's genetic and stuff, things like that.
00:45:58
Speaker
or if you look at obesity how it skyrocketed or all the diseases which most of them have skyrocketed and the fact that a lot of autoimmune diseases are new and stuff like that if anyone that is purported to be educated or knowledgeable tells you that they're an absolute idiot and you should call them an idiot for you know they should be
00:46:22
Speaker
Publicly shame that you're more on spreading misinformation medic that's met now. That's medical misinformation. Yeah for sure it is it like you just said and like i said it's you look at these things and they're very easy to overlook but you look at.
00:46:39
Speaker
Take celiac disease, for example, you know, when, when have people been allergic to yeast? Besides in the past 15 years or so. People used to eat more gluten. Back in the day, people would eat twice the amount of gluten as now, even though there's more gluten in bread now. A hundred years ago, people were eating a hell of a lot more bread. Yeah, exactly. So it's like, why, why now? Well, they've always suffered with this. Where? It just went undiagnosed like autism. It's just we're diagnosing it better.
00:47:09
Speaker
Yeah, it's like, where has this been documented? You don't see historical documents of people with autism, people with Down syndrome, people with celiacs, people that are just dying suddenly out of nowhere. You don't find this historically. And I know our historical records are
00:47:27
Speaker
good to a certain extent, but it's like you just don't see these things. These are very, very recent and people so easily overlook it because of that same exact thing. It just wasn't diagnosed. They just lived their life like that. I don't think so. I think that would be a very studied thing because it would-
00:47:47
Speaker
a diarrhea multiple times a day after eating bread. I think when you go to the doctor, like, I think you have bread area or something called it something. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's it's humans are observant enough and curious enough that something like that would be studied. Yeah. No matter what time period it is, if take, for example, you put a person with autism in Greek times
00:48:16
Speaker
That would be so studied because people are naturally curious they want to know what is going on with this or somebody with down syndrome it's like what is going on with this what caused it date we've always been curious and scientific minded. Along with the spiritual side so it's like you tie the two and together but,
00:48:39
Speaker
I'm not buying the story of it was just not diagnosed or misdiagnosed or this or that. It's all excuses. It's a joke. The state of medicine is an absolute joke. If I was a doctor right now, and again, I know a lot of very good doctors and I'm exposed to a lot of very good
00:48:55
Speaker
medical and naturopathic doctors that I learned from so I'm not throwing a blanket statement but most doctors the medicine as it stands is a shambles after how much money has been invested in all these diseases including cancer
00:49:12
Speaker
Dude, the whole thing is an absolute joke. I can remember some doctor said that if you put all of medicine in the book and you throw that book down in the ocean, it will be a great day for mankind because
00:49:30
Speaker
what medicine has done, the modern medicine done to humanity is just look around, just Jesus Christ. It's not even that bad where I live here, but I'm sure if you go to a big city, any big city now in any part of the world, if you look at the state of health of people, it's a disaster of epic proportions. So I honestly think sometimes, like lately, I've been thinking this whole
00:49:57
Speaker
the population agenda, is that like a red herring? I honestly think that they've already accomplished that, like, if you look at fertility rates, I think one in two couples now in the States can't get naturally pregnant, one in two, dude. I think they've accomplished their goal. Now they can die happy and burn in hell for the rest of eternity, hopefully. And then the rest, the dominoes are just going to continue to fall because
00:50:27
Speaker
You know, it's like when you set a wheel in motion, they've they've set the wheel in motion for the last 150 years. Plus, God knows, is there much that can be done for the world at large? I honestly think very few people have even the it's like when you it's like the model of a black hole when you when you get past the zone of no return, I believe a lot of people
00:50:56
Speaker
unfortunately are past the zone of no return and they're just going to get sucked up into the machine, into the hole. There's some folks that are on the precipice that are completely unaware. There's some folks that are
00:51:12
Speaker
you know, maybe swimming in the other direction, too many analogies here, but swimming in the other direction against the cars, against the force, and they will do their damnedest, but it's too late. I think for those people, it's probably the saddest when you wake up too late.
00:51:30
Speaker
and you start taking this stuff seriously too late and stop going to the doctor every month and getting put on the subscriber plan and this pill and this other pill every time and then you're on 7, 8, 10, 12 medications. I think for those folks, it's really sad to see. This is why I keep always sort of harping on the point we have to teach the parents because the parents are the ones that they're going to teach the kids.
00:51:58
Speaker
That's how we create generational positive change. We have to really start with the younger parents now is the time. Unfortunately, their minds are shaped by social media and the people, the social engineers. So it's another massive uphill battle that I think at a grand scale probably cannot even be won at this point.
00:52:20
Speaker
I got to disagree with that. I'm just, I'm optimistic. I think a lot of people are waking up to this and
00:52:31
Speaker
I
Hope and Healing
00:52:31
Speaker
hope you're right. Another thing I'll slightly disagree with is I don't think there is too many people at that point of no return. I think your body is so resilient to many, many different things. I think it takes a lot, a lot to get to that point of no return.
00:52:55
Speaker
Whether I'm right, I don't know. Like I said, I'm optimistic about it. I think our bodies are super, super resilient and can essentially handle whatever is thrown at it as long as you give it the tools it needs and let it do its natural thing.
00:53:12
Speaker
many, many people might be feeling like they're at that point of no return. Oh, I got, I got the stabby jab. I got the second one. I got the third one. And maybe, maybe I'm wrong and that might be the point of no return, but I'm, I'm very hopeful that your body, if as long as you provide the right conditions and the right environment for it to detox in and heal itself, I think it can heal from majority of things that you throw at it.
00:53:37
Speaker
I hope you're I mean I I'm not sure again I wasn't throwing out estimations how many people are awake how many people will never wake up I I don't know how many people are at the point of no return but I hope you're right man look I I'm in general I'm a very positive person otherwise you know if
00:53:58
Speaker
If I wasn't positive, I wouldn't be trying to play my part in helping some people and putting out content that is helpful. So I'm definitely helpful. And the thing is, I think
00:54:13
Speaker
I think that's one of the most powerful weapons against us is creating hopelessness and learned helplessness. This goes to some studies with rats where if you put a rat in a bucket of water after a while it will try to swim out of the bucket
00:54:43
Speaker
but it will give up after a while and just drown. But if that rat sees another rat escape from the bucket, that rat would struggle and swim until it dies from exhaustion or it will somehow escape, it will chew through the bucket and get out. So if you
00:55:04
Speaker
If you are, at the very least, a shining light onto others that people can be. For example, this is why I believe you can't trust a fat, sorry, you can't trust a thin chef like you can't trust a fat and healthy doctor. If you're a practitioner, you need to at least be a little bit healthy.
00:55:30
Speaker
If you're a chef, you got to be fat, bro. Otherwise, your food is crap. I'm kidding. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong on that one. But I think you need to have a certain vibrancy to be a practitioner because you need to resonate with that. People need to resonate with you and to see that you can achieve this state. It's like I remember when my wife was having her horrible insomnia.
00:55:58
Speaker
She said, I was lying next to you last night. You were snoring like a freaking lawnmower. But I'm there like sleepless all night long. But I knew that I can't sleep. I can see you sleeping like a freak. I'm pushing you to turn over so you don't snore so much.
00:56:20
Speaker
And I can see that if you can sleep like that, I can sleep like that. So especially, I think people that have had a health problem, quite severe health problem, those people that actually become the doctors or practitioners or trainers, coaches,
00:56:37
Speaker
I think they're the most awesome specimens because they, first of all, they have empathy for the struggles you're going through, but they can show people, look, I overcame celiac disease or ulcerative colitis, autoimmunity, and I am perfectly healthy in a manner of speaking. I guess nobody's perfectly healthy in today's world, or ever has been. But giving that people that hope and that example,
00:57:07
Speaker
in all walks of life, I think is important, like people that come from rags to riches, become entrepreneurs, or guys from the hood that were in a gang that come out and, you know, become entrepreneurs, great dads and stuff like that. I think those people, we need to sort of give them more air time in alternative media, not just talk about the doom and gloom and the fear porn and the agendas that we are seeing, but we should have more people
00:57:35
Speaker
to be an example in a shining light onto others, getting biblical there. That's such a beautiful point because it's so true. Most people get so discouraged, you know, you brought up cancer earlier. One thing I wanted to say earlier about that is, you know, look how long they've been trying to cure cancer and look how short of a time it took them to quote unquote cure coronavirus. I mean, that's just, that's just something to think about people. But with cancer, it's like,
00:58:05
Speaker
everybody has an anecdotal story of well, you know, my happy with the mic placement. Yeah. Everybody has that anecdotal story of, well, my uncle knew this guy who got cancer and he died within a month or something along those lines. It's always this doom and gloom story rather than the people that beat it, whether they did go through the chemotherapy or the pills or an alternative
00:58:33
Speaker
way of treating that. It's like those stories aren't promoted. Everybody has that anecdotal story of, oh, I know somebody that died with cancer, died from cancer. And it was tragic. They were given a month to live and they died within that month. And it's that doom and gloom story that keeps getting repeated and refreshed to everybody's mindset.
00:58:54
Speaker
Again, circling back to the beginning of the conversation, in order to be as healthy as you can be, you need to be physically healthy, you need to be mentally healthy, and energetically or spiritually healthy. If you have all three of those in alignment, almost nothing can stop you. I mean, obviously, people are going to say, oh, we'll all just shoot you. And it's like, you're not getting the point.
00:59:15
Speaker
You're not going to be suffering from that, from that dry mouth or that cancer or that illness, that back pain, that fatigue, that mental fog, anything like that. Like you're almost unstoppable if you have your physical, mental and spiritual energetic health in alignment, because that healthy mindset is so key. And that's another thing people easily overlook is they know about the placebo effect.
00:59:43
Speaker
but they don't put any credence to it. Because it's like, if you tell somebody they have a month to live, the placebo effect can work both ways. It can either help you or detriment you. So you tell them they have a month to live. That puts a doom and gloom mindset. I only have a month to live now. And you're constantly repeating that in your head. Well, getting very esoteric woo woo here, but are you manifesting that reality?
01:00:14
Speaker
Whereas if you were told you have a month to live and you said, get F'd, you know, I don't have a month to live. I got 10 more years. You might live that next 10 years. I mean, nobody can really say for sure because that's where it gets.
01:00:31
Speaker
you know, quote unquote less scientific, but it that it should be considered science as that manifestation of it. Are you manifesting the bad? Are you manifesting the good? Who knows? But it seems like the placebo effect is a real studied thing. Oh, yeah. People know this. They don't give any credence to it, though. So we get into that whole conversation of having that healthy mindset, that happy mindset, that positive mindset of I am healthy, I am happy, I can heal.
01:00:58
Speaker
whatever is thrown at me, I will take. I'm tough enough. I'm strong enough. I'm mentally there enough to take on whatever is thrown at me. So that's a huge, huge point that needs to be talked about more is get away from that doom and gloom because that's mostly what the medical system is now. You're never going to see the positive stories. You might see one in every
01:01:21
Speaker
50
Mindset and Positivity in Health
01:01:21
Speaker
to 75 stories being positive, but those other, you know, 49 or 74 are just, oh, well, this person didn't make it. They couldn't overcome this. They couldn't do that. And so you're exactly right with these, these
01:01:36
Speaker
most important spectacular specimens that are people that overcame these things, because they have been there. They've seen it. They've been in that mentality. They didn't know exactly what this other person across the table from them is going through. They have that doom and gloom mindset. And on the other side of the table is the complete opposite. I was you once.
01:01:56
Speaker
I beat it. You can too. And that's, that's hugely important. I think we need to all lift each other up and come together like that. Have a positive outlook on all of this because it's not all doom and gloom. There is a way to beat this system, beat this game. However you want to consider it. There is a way out of it. And I think we're headed in the right direction.
01:02:17
Speaker
with shows like yours, shows like ours, and all the other phenomenal podcasts that are bringing light to this darkness because it can't be darkness forever. The light has to overcome the dark.
01:02:29
Speaker
I love it. Yeah, I agree, man. I think, I think what I've noticed is when you interrupt the stress hormone cascade, so you have, you know, you have the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system. So there's, there's a constant push-poo in body system. So you have the
01:02:52
Speaker
the stress hormone milieu cascade that can become dominant. And then that can sort of keep, you can be this kind of stress sort of response, like high cortisol, high serotonin, high adrenaline, high, you know, other things like aldosterone, stuff like that. So I've noticed when with people close to me, when we interrupt, when we block that
01:03:22
Speaker
stress hormone response. When they get basically those hormones with certain supplements, certain practices, you can actually reduce those hormones. I found some supplements recently, I'm experimenting with myself and some of my clients. When you literally block at the receptor level the stress hormones, the entire sort of outlook of the person changes. I'm talking about where
01:03:51
Speaker
before they would shoot down an idea as to pie in the sky, they would be like when they hear that same or similar idea, they'd be like, I never thought about thought about it that way. When confronted with a challenge that normally would get them to start screaming or shouting or arguing with their partner, they're like much calmer. They're able to
01:04:15
Speaker
come back with a response or a reaction to that challenge that is from a much calmer place, and the whole sort of family dynamic changes for the positive. And there's a lot calmer under pressure, so new unexpected stresses don't perturb them that much. So I believe
01:04:36
Speaker
Part of why we're in a little bit of the state of the world is because of this constant stress, which not all of it is, again, psychological. I believe a lot of it because our thoughts create these hormones and these cascades. You can think of thought like if you start imagining yourself being chased down by like an axe murderer or something,
01:05:02
Speaker
your cortisol will increase, your adrenaline will increase, other inhibitory, counteractive, parasympathetic hormones will decrease in tandem. So we create a lot of the stress that is creating detrimental states of being inside physically, biochemically in the body. So if we are able to learn how to interrupt that stress sort of cycle,
01:05:30
Speaker
Be that with with supplements you know if t tapping meditation when there's there's different ways of doing it but if we can do that and
01:05:41
Speaker
make sure that it's a sustained, not just for your 20 minutes of meditation or whatever. I'm talking about if it's a chronic reduction in stress. I believe a lot of people who have a lot more resources to mount a response to the challenges of the modern world, be they at the family level, the community level,
01:06:00
Speaker
or the societal level, like when big things happen. So I think that's where they know the folks that are running these operations. They know if you scare people, that's stress, those stress hormones, you basically, in a way, you go to the lizard brain, just basic survival. So higher thought, higher cognitive functions are depressed. That's why people that are depressed, they can't see a
01:06:26
Speaker
an out of the situation because they cannot access those higher cognitive functions, the neocortex, all that good stuff. So I think if we learn how to, whatever works for us, again, you said it very well, everybody's an individual. For me taking a couple of supplements,
01:06:42
Speaker
is better because I'm a supplement geek and I've never really gotten into meditation or whatever else but for some people it might be some yoga or a number of these different things so I think the most important thing though is figure out how to lower stress that is not
01:07:01
Speaker
unproductive, like going for drugs or alcohol or whatever else or whatever. So I think that is a very key component and I'm going to definitely try to put out some content in the future about ways we can lower that stress cascade in the body. I think it's so beneficial. I've seen it firsthand.
01:07:21
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. That's a great point. And I think that's an excellent way to end the show. I know you got to head out. Hopefully your kid gets better and your wife feels better. One last thing I wanted to end on is just talking about your course. So I'm just under halfway through now.
01:07:40
Speaker
And it's taken me a while because I'm going back and I'm re-listening to like, oh, what did Christian say in that video about this? So I'll go back and I'll re-listen to a lot of them. But it's such a great course. I love it so much. There's so many.
01:07:56
Speaker
quick videos that it's just like, all right, here's this, you need to be aware of it. This is what you can do. And this is how you do it. And it's just super quick, concise. And it's so it's so streamlined. You did such an awesome job on this. Thanks, buddy. And so I love promoting this on the show now because it is something that's like
01:08:16
Speaker
Man, if more people got ahold of this and started using this to their advantage, a lot of this transition that I'm talking about that's super difficult won't be as difficult because you're providing the information, you're providing the solutions to it and how you can do it effectively, whether it's cost effectively or product effectivity. You're providing real world examples of, okay, this is the unit I use. I know of this unit as well.
01:08:45
Speaker
whatever your price range is, you know, get this one if you got a budget or get this one if you want to go all out. So I really cannot promote this and praise this course enough. I'm truly happy that you allowed us access to this course and the information.
01:09:03
Speaker
Yeah, dude, this is the information I wish I knew five years ago, ten years ago. I guess six years ago is when I really started getting into this stuff. So if I had this information back then, man, how much time I would have saved, how much research. But I think also making those mistakes along the way and learning the hard way is what has created some knowledge in my head that I can use to help other folks. So I think it's important.
01:09:34
Speaker
as part of my journey, but had I had this course a while back, man, how amazing of a resource that would have been for me. And if I do say so myself, humbly. Yeah. Well, here's the thing about that is if you didn't, if you had this course back then, then you would not have that comparison of
01:09:58
Speaker
knowing how well it works because you went through that, you know exactly how you felt going through all of that without this knowledge. Then you gain this knowledge and started to implement some of the strategies and then you saw the results for yourself. So you went from this to this. So I think it's all important. I think it's all on purpose that you went through that and then you gain this knowledge because otherwise you would have no contrast. Dude, I remember
01:10:28
Speaker
Sorry, I didn't mean to drop. No, I was just going to say you wouldn't know what it's like to feel this way and then go through it and feel this so much better after it. Yeah, when I was in my 20s in Ireland, I was working in a bar on and off to the amount of
01:10:46
Speaker
tap water, straight tap water, we drank there. And Ireland is famous for its fluoridated water. The water is delicious, but it's free as well. They actually tried to put a water tax on people. So pretty much nobody paid those bills, dude. They completely revoked the skills. I remember I was sharing a house with three other guys and having like guys moving in and out of this house. There was four rooms.
01:11:16
Speaker
I know there's a bill in one of these.
01:11:18
Speaker
guys decided to pay the damn thing. But he was moved out. It was in his name because he was the unfortunate guy to open the door when these clowns are coming, unfortunately. So he was like, guys, I paid this bill. Can I get some money from him? The guy's like, you ain't getting shit from me, bro. I don't pay that. You're stuck with this bill. But most of the Ireland, they're like, no, screw you. We're not paying. It rains almost every day. We're not paying for water, you pricks. I don't care if you need infrastructure to bring it to my house.
01:11:46
Speaker
Sorry, my point there was that, man, the amount of poison and alcohol and harder things. In my 20s, those 20 years, I swear to God, I probably did not eat anything, anything that was certified organic.
01:12:06
Speaker
I swear to God, I probably did not eat one thing, not even like a blueberry that was certified organic, unless I was in someone's house and they had something on the table served that I didn't know. But consciously, I did not buy one thing that was certified organic. That's 10 years in my 20s. That's going back to my point of being optimistic about not having a lot of people at that point of no return, because
01:12:34
Speaker
For example, you went 20, I know I'm in a similar boat, you know, I went 22 years without really being super conscious of my diet. And that's 20 years of toxification. And yet I've still detoxed my body to be healthy.
01:12:50
Speaker
And it's, you know, so that that's just a point of I don't think there's many people at that point of no return, because I think it takes a lot. I think our bodies are very, very resilient. They can detox from 20 years of toxification fairly easily. Yeah, I think if you have 20 or even 50 years of dysfunction by, you know, occupational exposure and bad diet and all that stuff, I think in most people,
01:13:20
Speaker
in one to two years, you'll see amazing improvements. I just think it's also important to not try to rush it and expect you get that result. If you're in your mid 30s, in six months, you could really bounce and be thriving, even if you had fairly serious health problems. But if you're older, I would try to dampen a little bit the expectations so that you don't give up after six months or a year. But yeah, I think
01:13:51
Speaker
Yeah, the fact that you can live a horrendous lifestyle for decades and get developed diabetes or whatever, the fact that you can reverse a lot of these things in a couple of years is also to your point. That's how resilient we are really, the human body. Yeah.
01:14:09
Speaker
