00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,400
Welcome to the Human Experience, a podcast about the stories we live

2
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:08,360
out every day and the importance of championing the vulnerability and

3
00:00:08,860 --> 00:00:12,280
courage of the storyteller. I'm your host, Jennifer Peterkin,

4
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:16,079
and it was through my own lived story of experiencing domestic violence

5
00:00:16,579 --> 00:00:20,520
that this podcast was created. By traveling the globe and interviewing

6
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:24,920
each guest in person, I am convinced now more than ever, that stories

7
00:00:25,420 --> 00:00:28,880
have the power to change the world. Thank you for being here.

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,500
In a world full of noise, to listen with intention is an act of resistance.

9
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:38,380
And it's so nice to be with you today in your home, actually.

10
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:41,900
So thank you so much for hosting this recording

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,620
today. Yeah. Yeah. I'm really excited to hear about your story. You have changed your

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,500
life in such a radical way, in a way that most people will never

13
00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:52,820
do because of the commitment that it takes to

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,900
do what you've done. But your life started in a very different place

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,930
from where you've ended up, as most of our stories do. So tell me about,

16
00:01:01,430 --> 00:01:05,010
you know, tell me about your journey to growing up. Yeah, football,

17
00:01:05,170 --> 00:01:09,250
all of that fun stuff. Sure. So growing up was difficult.

18
00:01:09,490 --> 00:01:12,890
Like a lot of people who suffer from chronic pain, they've had some trauma in

19
00:01:13,390 --> 00:01:16,210
my life, but I think everyone has had trauma in their life, especially if you're

20
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:19,650
a child of the 80s. But, yeah, I.

21
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:24,330
My parents got divorced very young. I was four or five

22
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:28,300
right before kindergarten. And then, you know,

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,980
so that was a difficult transition as a child. My father lived in Philadelphia.

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,900
My mother lived in Florida at the time. And then my remarried a

25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,940
couple times. Both of those guys were alcoholics,

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,460
abusive, physically, emotionally, mentally. All that good stuff.

27
00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:46,380
And I ended up in five different elementary schools.

28
00:01:46,780 --> 00:01:49,740
Right. As it, you know, by the time I got done one middle school,

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,620
three high schools, so my life was moving around a lot. So what

30
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,380
I learned at a very young age was that the way that I would make

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,240
friends the fastest was through my ability to be athletic. Right.

32
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:04,240
So I was always the most athletic kid anywhere, any school that I went

33
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:07,480
to up until my senior year or up until my. Yes,

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,200
sophomore year of high school. And Clint Johnson,

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,080
he was faster than me, but there were not nobody else.

36
00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:17,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think I had a longer. Yeah, Clint, I think,

37
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:20,160
made it to the NFL a little bit. He went to Notre Dame. I think

38
00:02:20,660 --> 00:02:24,920
I had more contracts than him in the NFL, so pretty

39
00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:28,360
much. But anyway, so I. I actually only started playing football as a senior in

40
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:32,340
high. I didn't play football. I went out my sophomore junior year when I was

41
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,940
in Florida because of all my moving, my Grades were not good. You know,

42
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,620
I was like, right on the border there. And so I finally,

43
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,020
my senior year, went out for the team, moved back up here to Philadelphia

44
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:48,100
and got moved to fullback. I wanted to be a tailback. The head

45
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,780
coach told my dad that I'm not a tailback because I don't have this.

46
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,580
And then he shook his hips, so. But I'm a good dancer, so I don't

47
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,660
know. He must have not have seen me on the dance floor.

48
00:02:59,060 --> 00:03:02,960
And then, you know, ended up walking on to a small school here in Pennsylvania,

49
00:03:03,460 --> 00:03:06,880
Millersville University. It wasn't very good at football. I was a very good

50
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:11,280
athlete. I wasn't very good until the game slowed down

51
00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:15,360
for me, which was probably like my junior,

52
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,720
my junior year. And that year I actually earned the starting

53
00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:23,680
position. Was told three weeks, three days before the first

54
00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:26,200
game that I was the starting running back. I was like, that's great. I've put

55
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:28,960
in all this work. I wanted to play in the pros. I knew that I

56
00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:33,360
was going to play in the pros from a young age. Step back a

57
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:37,680
minute. My summer of my. Before my freshman year of college,

58
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,600
I was working out with a guy who was an NFL quarterback.

59
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,640
So he just happened to work out at the same gym I was from.

60
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:49,000
He's from this area. And after those five workouts, he said to me,

61
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,800
he goes, you know, you're pretty good. You can play in the NFL. Like,

62
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,600
I always knew that. I was like, from the time I was in fourth grade,

63
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:57,080
I saw it happen on tv and I said, I'm going to do that.

64
00:03:57,580 --> 00:04:00,660
I just knew it. So it ended up my

65
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,620
first professional game was against him. Oh, wow. There was a guy named Rich Gannon

66
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,940
who played for the Chiefs at the time, but he's a Delaware guy. But so

67
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:12,780
ended up that the head coach, the night

68
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,620
before the first game, told the offensive coaches that

69
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,140
I was not the starter. Cause I was a walk on. And the scholarship guys

70
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,940
were going to start in front of me, which was. I didn't know

71
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,540
that until after the second game. Cause I finally asked the coach, my running back

72
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,880
coach, who wasn't much older than us, like, are you going to tell me why

73
00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:34,000
I'm not starting or even playing? I got no carry. I got no carries.

74
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:36,440
Like, I was the starter. And then I got no carries the first two games.

75
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,400
And he's like, just hang in there. Hang in there, Espo. I was like,

76
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:41,560
no, no, no. You got to tell me or I'm going to quit. I'm going

77
00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:44,520
to leave. I'm not going to come back. And then he told me the story

78
00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:47,240
I just told you, and I was like, all right, so I'm going to honor

79
00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:49,640
my commitment. I'm going to stay here, I'm going to be a role player and

80
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:52,280
I'm going to have to figure out another path to get to the NFL.

81
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,480
So I mean, I would have like one or two carries a game that

82
00:04:56,980 --> 00:05:00,220
year. They'd almost always be a long touchdown and then I'd never see the ball

83
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,860
again. It was pretty wild. And then so my senior year,

84
00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:07,660
you know, come back out and I'm thinking, okay, I'm a senior. I'm gonna get

85
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,100
more carries than the other scholarship athlete who's younger than me did

86
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,820
not. So first game, no carries. Second game, no carries until

87
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,660
the end of the first half. Then they finally put me in and I had

88
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,900
150 something yards that game. The next game I finally started had

89
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,740
like 300 and something all purpose yards. And then that's when the NFL scouts

90
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,560
started, you know, taking notice and probably had eight teams work me out

91
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:36,080
by the end of my, my senior year. Got picked up by the Redskins.

92
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,360
Broke my jaw in my first game in two places. Played the entire

93
00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:44,800
rest of the game with a broken jaw in two places. So I'm not opposed

94
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:48,720
to pain. Like I can handle pain. It's just chronic pain.

95
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:52,720
That's another story. Anyway, so they gave

96
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:56,180
me an injury settlement. Came back the next year, the Saints signed me, blah,

97
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,300
blah, blah. Got my jaw broken again. They cut me, signed me back. The regular

98
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,220
season was on the developmental squad, practice squad for about four or

99
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,700
five weeks of the regular season. But at that point my shoulder was getting so

100
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,780
bad, like I couldn't even do a pushup. Like it's kind of the beginning of

101
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,980
like when things stopped healing for me. And so

102
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:18,220
they released me. I didn't try to play after that because I just knew,

103
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,380
like my shoulder was so banged up. Got my first shoulder surgery, then ended

104
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,130
up, all told, like 15 different surgeries. Five of them were shoulder

105
00:06:26,630 --> 00:06:30,010
surgeries and nothing was helping. Like none of it was improving. Like little

106
00:06:30,510 --> 00:06:34,650
slight bits of improvement. But I went from being like literally the most flexible guy

107
00:06:35,150 --> 00:06:38,930
on any team, any school, any sport, anything to like losing

108
00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:42,850
mobility. And it was, you know, not great.

109
00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:46,210
But I just like everybody else. Well, I guess this is just aging. This is

110
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:50,230
just old age. Yeah. And so years and

111
00:06:50,730 --> 00:06:54,590
years went on of me just not eating properly, like not knowing what a good

112
00:06:55,090 --> 00:06:58,790
diet was, not even knowing that there are certain nutrients

113
00:06:59,290 --> 00:07:01,990
that the body must have on A pretty consistent basis to be healthy.

114
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:05,509
And then I end up, you know,

115
00:07:05,910 --> 00:07:08,470
now I'm into my 30s, we'll talk. And then, you know, starting to get a

116
00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:12,190
little more stiffer, stiffer. Then 35 happens and I

117
00:07:12,690 --> 00:07:16,070
tear my ACL, have my last surgery on my knees.

118
00:07:17,030 --> 00:07:20,230
And then so things just started really, really going south

119
00:07:20,470 --> 00:07:23,830
when I started my energy brokerage, because what I

120
00:07:24,070 --> 00:07:26,950
was doing at that point was just eating a ton of pizza. And we talked

121
00:07:27,450 --> 00:07:31,270
about how, you know, I was eating like two pizzas a day, maybe three times

122
00:07:31,770 --> 00:07:34,870
a week. And then what was going on is, now that I

123
00:07:35,370 --> 00:07:38,790
can look back is it was overwhelming my lymphatic system because I was under this

124
00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:42,590
constant state of inflammation. And then I

125
00:07:43,090 --> 00:07:45,710
was just filling up with lymph and filling up and filling up. And then.

126
00:07:46,210 --> 00:07:49,330
So now I'm having really tough time, like just out of bed,

127
00:07:49,410 --> 00:07:52,770
I'm sweating all the time, doing like all sorts of weird stuff.

128
00:07:53,170 --> 00:07:56,250
And then that's when I found some Netflix shows that

129
00:07:56,750 --> 00:07:59,530
I thought were going to heal me, which turned out to do the opposite.

130
00:08:00,030 --> 00:08:03,290
So you should never get your health advice from Netflix. I have to

131
00:08:03,790 --> 00:08:07,210
ask, what were they? It was Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, which was about juicing,

132
00:08:07,710 --> 00:08:11,010
right? And we talked about juicing spinach and how dangerous that can be. And the

133
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:15,170
other one was forks over Knives. So also talked about juicing the Gerson

134
00:08:15,330 --> 00:08:18,530
Therapy and things like that. And so while it did give

135
00:08:19,030 --> 00:08:22,590
me an amazing short term benefit, what I didn't realize is

136
00:08:23,090 --> 00:08:26,190
the, because of juicing, beets, spinach and Swiss chard,

137
00:08:26,430 --> 00:08:30,830
and also switching to almond milk, there's a little molecule in these plants

138
00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:35,190
that basically are designed to damage the thing that's

139
00:08:35,690 --> 00:08:39,110
trying to eat it. And it's called oxalic acid. And oxalic acid turns into kidney

140
00:08:39,610 --> 00:08:43,470
stones in your soft tissue. A lot of women have to get hysterectomies because

141
00:08:43,970 --> 00:08:48,100
of them. And doctors, I've had friends who have had oxalate

142
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:52,220
problems as well. And you talk to them and the doctor's like, yeah, we have

143
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,460
to do surgery in three or four years. I was like, well, you can also

144
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,860
just take high doses of lemonade, add calcium citrate, and it'll dissolve those things

145
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,859
down and pull them out of your body. So which one do you want to

146
00:09:03,359 --> 00:09:06,820
do this kind of natural solution to have the body remove

147
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,140
them or you want a doctor to go in there, start digging around, causing more

148
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,130
inflammation? Definitely not going to get all of it. You know,

149
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:18,890
it's probably not only in that particular area. If you've got it it's widespread

150
00:09:19,390 --> 00:09:22,930
throughout your body. So when you do these cleanses, they're pretty wild because what

151
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:27,330
happens is all these like kidney stones literally

152
00:09:27,830 --> 00:09:30,490
come out through your pores. So the first time I did it, it looked like

153
00:09:30,990 --> 00:09:34,210
I was laying on the beach and I had all this sand on my shoulders

154
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:38,210
and on my chest and all these little tiny ones came out. But then the

155
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:41,490
last one I did a few years ago, I had a giant rock come out

156
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:45,500
of my chest. And you'd seen that on my Instagram. But they, they damage

157
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,500
you in so many different ways. Not only physically, but metabolically. They slow down

158
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,060
certain processes that are involved in the healing process, the collagen

159
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,980
building process and you know, just absorption of

160
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,180
iron. They actually steal hyaluronic acid away from the soft tissue so

161
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:05,980
it makes them not glide as smoothly. So a lot of problems. So anyway,

162
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,940
I just started kind of, you know, right before my second son was born.

163
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,240
He, about, about three months before he was born. I was 265

164
00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:18,400
pounds, completely immobile. It felt like my entire body was lit

165
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:22,720
on fire. Internally, I describe fibromyalgia, or at least what I was feeling.

166
00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:27,200
It's like skinning your knee, but internally all the time. You know,

167
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:30,520
it's a constant gravel scratch internally.

168
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,480
And so I said, I'm going to fix this. I said it

169
00:10:34,980 --> 00:10:37,600
out loud to the universe. I said, I'm going to fix this. And so I

170
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,340
started stretching for about a year, got nowhere. And then I real that

171
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:46,620
while the things that are binding me together are held closely by these

172
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,620
chemical bonds that are hard to break, like collagen bonds,

173
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,580
the chemical bonds that hold collagen together, once that chemical

174
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,340
bond sets in, it's seven times stronger than steel. Okay, so your chiropractor's

175
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,900
not gonna be able to break through you. Massage definitely isn't

176
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,340
going to, you know, foam rolling and stretching and the stuff that I was doing,

177
00:11:06,580 --> 00:11:10,140
you need something that's gonna weaken and break the chemical

178
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,160
bond. So then it's breaks open. And then once it's

179
00:11:14,660 --> 00:11:18,520
broken open, the body can start breaking it down even further slowly.

180
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,880
Right? Like sandpaper. It's not chunking off like, you know,

181
00:11:22,380 --> 00:11:25,800
big, you know, parts of a glacier. It's slowly breaking these things

182
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:30,360
down even further. But you need to break that chemical bond first before

183
00:11:30,860 --> 00:11:33,880
the body has an opportunity to do that. And so the things that are

184
00:11:34,380 --> 00:11:37,720
causing the problems is like it's inflammation, which leaves behind a

185
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:42,060
fibrin, which is a tough insoluble protein that

186
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:46,340
bends and is like a viscoelastic Polymer. It's like a plastic water

187
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,580
bottle. So it moves with you and cracks as you move. And you

188
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,820
think your joints are cracking, but it's like that water bottle that you squeeze.

189
00:11:54,220 --> 00:11:57,899
Same exact things happening. And then when that inflammation occurs,

190
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:01,500
a collagen response occurs. And that collagen is not going to be built with the

191
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,300
right ingredients. So that's going to become like super glue. Right.

192
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,660
And then you're going to have oxidative stress in that area because you're damaging all

193
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,610
that soft tissue, have all these free radicals that's gonna cause a

194
00:12:13,110 --> 00:12:16,050
different type of problem all in the same area. So it becomes this just like

195
00:12:16,370 --> 00:12:20,210
soup of junk that happens because one thing

196
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:24,090
goes wrong, and then you haven't been feeding yourself correctly. So the concept

197
00:12:24,590 --> 00:12:28,050
is, how are these things held together? What are the chemical bonds holding

198
00:12:28,550 --> 00:12:32,770
these things together? And what are the natural ways to cleave

199
00:12:32,850 --> 00:12:36,570
that chemical bond? And it's either mechanically or chemically.

200
00:12:37,070 --> 00:12:40,410
There's only two ways to do it. And so that's what's in my supplement are

201
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:44,680
these natural supplements that cleave the chemical bond of what I've

202
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,680
labeled as the major pain makers, which is the fibrin, the collagen,

203
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,360
the oxidative stress,

204
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,280
calcification, oxalates, glycation,

205
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,400
and I think that's it. You know, poor hydration as

206
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:01,640
well. Like, I have hyaluronic acid in my supplement, so it's going to hold on

207
00:13:02,140 --> 00:13:05,680
to more water so your muscle fibers glide more smoothly against

208
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:10,020
one another. Yeah. So, yeah, so that's the concept. Break down the pain makers,

209
00:13:10,340 --> 00:13:14,180
don't let them occur and create a healthy cell. Those are the

210
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:18,700
main concepts behind the whole thing. And then what you'll find is pain starts disappearing.

211
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,339
It just starts going away. Because once these things start degrading, they stop activating the

212
00:13:23,839 --> 00:13:26,420
pain receptor. And pain receptors is where pain comes from.

213
00:13:26,660 --> 00:13:30,100
It's not dysregulation. It's not a messed up nervous

214
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,300
system. Your pain receptors are part of the nervous system. They're being activated by hard

215
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,000
tissue. Let's soften up that hard tissue.

216
00:13:38,030 --> 00:13:40,750
That's so much information. I know, I know. So rewind,

217
00:13:40,830 --> 00:13:44,390
go listen again and Google a bunch of stuff. Yeah, exactly. That's all

218
00:13:44,890 --> 00:13:47,230
I would do when I would listen to my podcast to learn this stuff.

219
00:13:47,730 --> 00:13:51,150
Yeah. So we got out of the NFL.

220
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:54,350
Yeah. When were you diagnosed with all of your

221
00:13:54,750 --> 00:13:57,790
other health issues? So I would ass.

222
00:13:58,590 --> 00:14:02,590
I'd. I'd have to. So my chiropractor is the one that diagnosed

223
00:14:03,090 --> 00:14:06,640
me with fibromyalgia the surgeons were the ones that diagnosed me

224
00:14:07,140 --> 00:14:10,320
with degenerative arthritis and needing the joint replacements. So,

225
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,800
God, what years? I mean, it's probably around

226
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,040
39 to the 42 age

227
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,304
range, because around 43 or so. 42.

228
00:14:22,416 --> 00:14:25,440
43 is when I decided to really start,

229
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,440
like, attacking it. Yeah. So, yeah. But I had been diagnosed with

230
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,310
all sorts of other things before that. So I stopped playing football at like

231
00:14:33,620 --> 00:14:36,940
24 maybe. Right. So I had all this

232
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,740
time. Now I was not treating my body well. All that time I

233
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,780
was out dancing till 3am and, you know,

234
00:14:44,740 --> 00:14:48,540
still playing rough touch football, but not allowing

235
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,860
myself to heal in any way. You know, really healing.

236
00:14:52,180 --> 00:14:55,540
The body heals at 20 plus hours of fasting. Like that's

237
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,020
it. Like it's not healing any other time. It's in cell division mode until it's

238
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,040
not. And so you're either in a fed state or a fasting state.

239
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:07,160
And the fasting state is when your body starts healing. And 20 hours

240
00:15:07,660 --> 00:15:11,280
was when autophagy starts. And that's when those enzymes start looking for

241
00:15:11,780 --> 00:15:15,480
these misfolded proteins, protein aggregates, things that are related to like,

242
00:15:15,980 --> 00:15:19,440
dementia and chronic pain, and it starts cleaving them so the body can

243
00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:23,640
get rid of them. Yeah, Yeah. I think it's really interesting. First of

244
00:15:24,140 --> 00:15:26,400
all, I have a question that I want to go back to. You had your

245
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:30,490
jaw broken twice? Yeah. Is that a common injury in

246
00:15:30,990 --> 00:15:34,610
football? It's actually very uncommon. Okay. I don't

247
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:37,490
know a lot about football, but so the way it happened. So I was running

248
00:15:37,990 --> 00:15:41,130
down on kickoff. I'm in Kansas City, and I'm geeked. You know, it's my first

249
00:15:41,630 --> 00:15:44,330
play ever in the NFL, and I'm the first guy down there because I was

250
00:15:44,830 --> 00:15:48,170
definitely in the top three fastest guys on my NFL team and so

251
00:15:48,670 --> 00:15:51,850
much further down. And I see 77. And so just on his number alone,

252
00:15:52,350 --> 00:15:55,290
you know, he's a big guy. It's an offensive lineman's number. And I'm like,

253
00:15:55,790 --> 00:15:59,270
all right, I'm going to dip him and get past him and

254
00:15:59,770 --> 00:16:03,150
go make the tackle or at least disrupt the, you know, whatever. So I

255
00:16:03,650 --> 00:16:07,230
dipped him. He put his helmet right up underneath my face mask.

256
00:16:07,730 --> 00:16:10,950
And I mean, just every tooth on the left hand, lower side

257
00:16:11,450 --> 00:16:14,350
of my jaw was pointed toward the right side of my jaw. And then the

258
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:18,070
right sort of canine twisted. So it broke

259
00:16:18,570 --> 00:16:21,630
it there and it broke it over there. And I didn't fall down.

260
00:16:21,790 --> 00:16:25,320
I stayed in the play. I chased the play down, continued to

261
00:16:25,820 --> 00:16:28,880
play the rest of the game with a broken jaw and Then at the very

262
00:16:29,380 --> 00:16:31,760
end of the game, they were going to put me into run a couple,

263
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,480
couple plays. And I was like, I don't think I can go in, coach.

264
00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:38,080
My face was just, you know, swollen. And then the next year,

265
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,600
I mean, I was beating this guy all year and he

266
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,760
was an undersized linebacker who was really good at covering running backs

267
00:16:47,260 --> 00:16:50,520
out of the backfield, but he couldn't cover me. And so one day he

268
00:16:51,020 --> 00:16:55,470
got frustrated. We had no helmets on and we were practicing and

269
00:16:55,970 --> 00:16:59,390
as I blocked him out of the hole, I gave him a little extra push

270
00:16:59,890 --> 00:17:02,990
at the end there, but, you know, nothing crazy. And as I was walking away,

271
00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:06,910
he tagged me right in my jaw clicked right in the same spot

272
00:17:07,310 --> 00:17:10,350
and I spun around like Bugs Bunny. I wish I would have it on film

273
00:17:10,430 --> 00:17:13,990
because I just, you know, didn't even see it coming. And I was like,

274
00:17:14,490 --> 00:17:17,270
oh, shit. Like that's the end of my career. Like. Cause I knew it was

275
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:20,630
broken again. And I know like when you do something twice in the NFL,

276
00:17:21,130 --> 00:17:24,159
it's hard to come back from. Fortunately, I, I did come back,

277
00:17:24,659 --> 00:17:27,559
but that's when my shoulder was just so banged up like I was not able

278
00:17:28,059 --> 00:17:31,319
to. I was an undersized fullback. I'm truly a tailback.

279
00:17:31,819 --> 00:17:35,393
I mean, I ran a 427 in the 40. I'm consistently a 4,

280
00:17:35,445 --> 00:17:39,159
4 guy. Currently I'm a world ranked. Last year I was a world ranked

281
00:17:39,659 --> 00:17:43,359
master sprinter. I haven't run this year to have a world ranking, but you know,

282
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:47,039
I was fast, but they had me at the wrong position. That's so interesting.

283
00:17:47,519 --> 00:17:50,519
I also thought it was interesting that you said you knew that you were going

284
00:17:51,019 --> 00:17:54,500
to be in the NFL and to have something be such, such a

285
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,060
short part of your life. In terms of time,

286
00:17:58,460 --> 00:18:01,860
I'm sure impact, it's not. But in terms of time, what was

287
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:05,780
that like to know that something was going to happen, have it happen, and then

288
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,060
for it to be just a few years? Yeah, so I,

289
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,980
I, so the first time I knew that I was going to play in the

290
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,660
NFL, I was in fourth or fifth grade. I remember walking out of

291
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,940
my house, my stepfather had a game on at the time. I saw a running

292
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,680
back do something and I was like, I can do that. Like I, you know,

293
00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:27,280
it's like I just, so then I didn't have that thought again.

294
00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:33,680
But I kind of, I don't know, it was just always there. But yeah,

295
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,960
so I didn't grow up as a football player. So it wasn't as

296
00:18:37,460 --> 00:18:41,160
impactful to not be a football Player as it was to

297
00:18:41,660 --> 00:18:45,360
not be somebody who can move, right? Movement was my superpower,

298
00:18:45,860 --> 00:18:48,640
right? So in sports, I was fast, I was flexible.

299
00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:52,580
I had better movement than everybody. After my sports career,

300
00:18:52,820 --> 00:18:56,500
I was Mr. Club Guy. I was dancing around.

301
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,780
Dancing was my superpower, right? I didn't even have to try.

302
00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:03,300
And girls would come dance with me, and it was fun.

303
00:19:03,620 --> 00:19:07,540
And then I lost all of those things, and it was very humbling to

304
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,340
have that happen. So once again, being an atheist and

305
00:19:13,140 --> 00:19:16,575
thinking that I'm so great and then being humbled

306
00:19:17,075 --> 00:19:20,240
and. And then going through this process that I went through,

307
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,960
still thinking that I'm the one coming up with all of this, But I honestly

308
00:19:25,460 --> 00:19:28,800
felt like I was a vessel for the universe, God,

309
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,959
whatever your belief system is, whatever that looks like. Things came

310
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,640
to me in ways that I can't, like, explain.

311
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,560
I was at an event for my energy brokerage. We got invited.

312
00:19:42,980 --> 00:19:45,300
Shell was an energy supplier that we use,

313
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:49,860
and their top brokers were invited to this place.

314
00:19:50,340 --> 00:19:53,900
The Ozarks. The Ozarks and golfing and all

315
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,900
that fun stuff that we do. Everyone got food poisoning. And I was like,

316
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,100
okay, why did they get food poisoning? And I thought, was it the pineapple?

317
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:05,820
Right? I immediately thought of the pineapple. The pineapple had

318
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,770
to be served. In order for me to think it was pineapple, I had to

319
00:20:10,270 --> 00:20:12,850
qualify for the event. They had to decide to have it at that location.

320
00:20:14,290 --> 00:20:18,450
And then something inside of me says, pineapple contains bromelain.

321
00:20:18,770 --> 00:20:22,410
Right? And so at this point in my whole journey, I'm blaming everything on your

322
00:20:22,910 --> 00:20:26,330
fascia and your collagen. Didn't even know what inflammation or fibrins were

323
00:20:26,830 --> 00:20:30,130
at the time. And I was like, pineapple contains bromelain. Like, what is that?

324
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:32,730
What is bromelain? I don't even know where the thought came from. So I'm like,

325
00:20:33,230 --> 00:20:37,180
bromelain is used as a commercial meat tenderizer in livestock.

326
00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:39,780
And I was like, I had a tear come out of my eye. I was

327
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,380
like, how did that just fall on my lap, Right? Like, I'd never heard of

328
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,540
this thing. I said, well, if it's breaking down, fibrosis,

329
00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:50,340
fibrin, fibrosis, fibromyalgia, it's all related to

330
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,300
inflammation in farm animals. Then why am I not trying it? So I

331
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,380
got pineapple powder, basically contains the same enzyme, and that's

332
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,020
what's in my supplement. One of the things in my supplement started using it,

333
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,220
and all of a sudden, click, click, click, click, click. I was like, oh,

334
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,820
my God. Like, this is amazing. This is Great. And so then you start research,

335
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,840
searching, and you're like, okay, well, why is it working? And you're like, oh,

336
00:21:11,340 --> 00:21:15,160
it's working because it's donating an electron to the fibrin, and that

337
00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:19,480
causes it to cleave, and then the body breaks it down. So things like that.

338
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,160
I mean, gosh, there's other, like, just ways that, like,

339
00:21:23,660 --> 00:21:27,200
I was, you know, out meditating at the river over here about

340
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:30,600
a year or so ago, and, you know, there's this one star,

341
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:33,720
Arcturus, that I like, really kind of meditate on.

342
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:38,340
And in. This sounds silly, but I open up my TikTok

343
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,900
after I'm done. And the first video was on an herb called chianca piedra,

344
00:21:43,060 --> 00:21:46,500
which is the stonebreaker herb. It breaks down oxalates,

345
00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:50,580
right? Now, I had heard of this herb before, forgotten about

346
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,660
it. It's such an obscure thing for it to be the first video after.

347
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,220
I'm asking the universe for wisdom for it to show up. I was like,

348
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,220
oh, my God, I forgot about this thing and went and bought it and had

349
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,100
another good response from my body. You could tell was more than what

350
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,530
was happening from the protocol I was on at the time. And so it's

351
00:22:10,030 --> 00:22:13,770
just like little sort of things started happening. And then, like I said,

352
00:22:14,270 --> 00:22:17,770
the two reasons why I stayed away from religion proved to be two of the

353
00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:21,410
major reasons that people are in chronic pain. So I don't want to say I

354
00:22:21,910 --> 00:22:25,970
was chosen for something like this, but it feels like maybe

355
00:22:27,410 --> 00:22:31,250
you are chosen. I opened myself up for that. Sure. Right. Seek and ye

356
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:35,370
shall find. Ask and it shall be given. If I didn't open myself up

357
00:22:35,870 --> 00:22:39,280
to this but possibility, then it wouldn't have flowed through me.

358
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:42,160
I don't know, like, hey, you're the chosen one. It's just. Maybe it's just we're

359
00:22:42,660 --> 00:22:45,560
just vessels that when we tap into whatever we're tapping into,

360
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,840
it becomes available to us. But. And then. So you go back to the diagnosis,

361
00:22:50,340 --> 00:22:52,840
and most people are going to say, okay, I got my diagnosis and I'm done.

362
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,800
This is it. This is what I have. And it's a genetic thing, and I

363
00:22:56,300 --> 00:23:00,040
was predetermined for this. And that's all nonsense. The diagnosis is many people's death.

364
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,200
Now it's like, do not accept your diagnosis. It's just a reason

365
00:23:05,310 --> 00:23:08,990
for a doctor to be able to move to the next step, which is surgery

366
00:23:09,490 --> 00:23:13,790
or medication, right until that diagnosis happens. But you'll find that

367
00:23:13,870 --> 00:23:17,110
most of these diagnoses are the same exact thing.

368
00:23:17,610 --> 00:23:20,669
So chronic regional pain Syndrome is the same thing as arthritis.

369
00:23:21,070 --> 00:23:24,710
Right. Ankylosing spondylitis is the same thing as arthritis.

370
00:23:25,210 --> 00:23:27,630
It's just in the spinal column. Right.

371
00:23:27,870 --> 00:23:31,390
Plantar fasciitis is. Everything with itis is just

372
00:23:31,890 --> 00:23:35,000
inflammation just in a different area of the body. It's called

373
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:39,320
different things to keep us confused. And then you have all these other things that

374
00:23:39,820 --> 00:23:43,760
they're now giving you labels for that are still related to the event that's

375
00:23:44,260 --> 00:23:47,640
happening because you're under such inflammation, but you're having, like, you know,

376
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,880
memory issues. So they're going to give you another diagnosis for that. Well,

377
00:23:51,380 --> 00:23:55,680
that's because you're having so much inflammation in the brain that you're having problems remembering

378
00:23:56,180 --> 00:23:59,200
things or you're not, you know, eating a healthy diet. It all kind of comes

379
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:03,100
down to the same sort of five or six things

380
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,100
that are happening within the body. And they're giving it 900 different

381
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,260
names. Yeah. So over complicating something that. To keep you

382
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,140
in the system longer. Yeah. So, I mean, you get these diagnoses and

383
00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:20,340
you've obviously been out of the NFL for a while.

384
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,860
You're doing your thing. You get these diagnoses. How long is it

385
00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:28,670
that you. Until you have kind of this, I have to

386
00:24:29,170 --> 00:24:32,030
do something about this or nothing is gonna change? Oh, yeah. I mean, it's.

387
00:24:32,530 --> 00:24:34,830
I think I mentioned it before, but it's like three months before Dane was born.

388
00:24:35,330 --> 00:24:37,590
Three months before my second son was born. I mean, I was like I said

389
00:24:38,090 --> 00:24:41,230
265 pounds, I couldn't move. I'm trying, you know, I'm still going

390
00:24:41,730 --> 00:24:45,270
to the gym and trying to break through things. And I was just

391
00:24:45,770 --> 00:24:48,910
like, I, I gotta fix this. Like, I'm going to fix this. I don't remember

392
00:24:49,410 --> 00:24:52,110
exactly what I said, but I said it out loud. And I think me saying

393
00:24:52,610 --> 00:24:55,440
out loud kind of made it real to the rest of the universe, but.

394
00:24:56,790 --> 00:24:59,510
And, you know, I just,

395
00:25:00,230 --> 00:25:03,510
I just felt that the body healed. I was like, I'm.

396
00:25:04,010 --> 00:25:07,830
I'm a piece of biology. Right. It's not like welded into place.

397
00:25:08,150 --> 00:25:11,350
Like, it's, you know, this thing is constantly changing.

398
00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:15,190
So I need to create a healing environment. It's just a problem

399
00:25:15,690 --> 00:25:18,910
was I didn't know what a healing environment was. And that actually sent me

400
00:25:19,410 --> 00:25:22,630
down the Netflix path, superfoods path.

401
00:25:23,130 --> 00:25:26,760
And like thinking like, oh, these superfoods and, you know, beets and spinach

402
00:25:27,260 --> 00:25:30,560
and. But you don't even know why they're called superfoods. And when you realize they're

403
00:25:31,060 --> 00:25:35,800
not superfoods at all. They contain very little nutrient density that are bioavailable

404
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:39,680
to humans. And then all plants have some degree of a plant

405
00:25:40,180 --> 00:25:43,160
defense chemical everything, because they don't have claws and teeth. Yeah,

406
00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:45,840
they don't want to be eaten. They want to keep moving. So, you know,

407
00:25:46,340 --> 00:25:49,520
and especially things like spinach, the red. The red stuff is where you're going

408
00:25:50,020 --> 00:25:52,940
to find most of your problems. It's almost like nature's way of saying, and don't

409
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,980
eat this. Except for strawberries. So. But you know, the red stuff in the plants

410
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,100
and you know, the leaves and things like that, that's where most of the toxic.

411
00:26:00,420 --> 00:26:04,060
Toxic stuff is. So, yeah, there's so

412
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,900
much information out there, which you've already kind of alluded to with your Netflix journey.

413
00:26:10,580 --> 00:26:14,460
How did you even begin to walk

414
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,180
down this path and not get so incredibly frustrated and just

415
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,660
throw up your hands and say, forget it? Because I feel like that is what

416
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,020
a lot of people do. Yeah. I think I got lucky early.

417
00:26:25,740 --> 00:26:28,980
Things started working early. Like, once again, I was able to ask the

418
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,300
right questions. Now, whether that was fed to me or not, but let me.

419
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,660
I'll go through this sort of step by step. I'm £265.

420
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,340
I can barely walk. My knees are the size of softballs.

421
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,100
Both of them. Because eight months before, I had been playing baseball with some

422
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,090
friends, and they just. The swelling never went down. And I'm walking around, and I

423
00:26:48,590 --> 00:26:51,730
see a friend of mine, and she's like, dan, what's going on? I says,

424
00:26:52,230 --> 00:26:55,010
on my knees. She goes, well, you should rub castor oil on your knees.

425
00:26:55,250 --> 00:26:59,010
I've taken no advice from anyone in my entire life. Up until this point.

426
00:26:59,490 --> 00:27:02,890
Nobody, right? So. But I started doing the

427
00:27:03,390 --> 00:27:05,970
foam rolling thing and thinking. And I'm telling everyone, you need to foam roll.

428
00:27:06,470 --> 00:27:08,450
And I'm like, you gotta start foam rolling. Like there's something. I don't know what

429
00:27:08,950 --> 00:27:11,850
it is. But she's looking at me the same way as I'm telling people they

430
00:27:12,350 --> 00:27:14,690
need to foam roll. And I'm like, all right, I'm gonna do this stupid castor

431
00:27:15,190 --> 00:27:17,690
oil. And I thought she was trying to get me into an mlm, because everybody's

432
00:27:18,190 --> 00:27:22,170
doing essential amino acids or essential oils. Oils at the time. And she's

433
00:27:22,670 --> 00:27:24,850
like. I'm like, okay. So I go, and I buy the castor oil.

434
00:27:25,650 --> 00:27:29,169
Face is swollen. I'm sweating all the time, losing my hair.

435
00:27:29,810 --> 00:27:32,610
All this bad stuff's going on. My knees are swollen, you know,

436
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:37,050
puffy. Put the castor oil on about a shot glass worth. I heat

437
00:27:37,550 --> 00:27:40,410
it up on the stove a little bit, take a paper towel, rub it on

438
00:27:40,910 --> 00:27:44,330
my lymph areas. Just skin my knees. The next morning,

439
00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:47,910
I. And this was at night, before I went to bed. The next morning I

440
00:27:48,410 --> 00:27:51,510
woke up, my knees were completely fine. Like, I was able to

441
00:27:52,010 --> 00:27:55,670
walk fine. Like it got rid of all that lymph. Lymph is a byproduct

442
00:27:56,170 --> 00:27:59,790
of the inflammation process, right? It's the cleanup, it's the junk that the white

443
00:28:00,290 --> 00:28:03,790
cells are cleaning up. So because I had so much puffiness meant I

444
00:28:04,290 --> 00:28:07,550
was in a constant state of inflammation, right? So now.

445
00:28:08,270 --> 00:28:11,910
And so. So the swelling goes down, I can finally see my face

446
00:28:12,410 --> 00:28:15,590
again like that, you know, I mean, it literally like every. I was blowing

447
00:28:16,090 --> 00:28:19,290
stuff out of my face. Next three days, I would've like, just. Just all this

448
00:28:19,790 --> 00:28:22,610
crap just was coming outta my face. So I cleaned up my lymphatic system,

449
00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:26,250
like, just with that one application. So anybody that's like, you know,

450
00:28:26,570 --> 00:28:30,170
vibration plates and lymphatic massage and all this kind of stuff, that stuff

451
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:34,330
may work, but you're gonna wanna use the castor oil first because

452
00:28:34,830 --> 00:28:38,050
that's gonna get in there and at the chemical bonds start breaking

453
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:42,370
these things down. So now I'm like, okay, now I've got half of

454
00:28:42,870 --> 00:28:45,410
the month where I have a clear head, where I had maybe one or two

455
00:28:45,910 --> 00:28:48,870
days before that. The next was,

456
00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:53,630
I'd gone to a baseball game. Dane was born. He was probably four,

457
00:28:54,130 --> 00:28:57,590
five, six months at the time. And go to a baseball

458
00:28:58,090 --> 00:29:01,230
game. I had one or two beers. I felt like crap. I was like.

459
00:29:01,730 --> 00:29:04,749
I felt like this acidity in my body. I was like, maybe I'm acidic.

460
00:29:05,249 --> 00:29:09,270
I just, you know, I don't know why I asked that question. I sent Kate

461
00:29:09,770 --> 00:29:12,070
to go get me some of that essential water. I drank some of it and

462
00:29:12,570 --> 00:29:16,100
I felt better. Now, I don't know if that actually was helping with my

463
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,860
acidity or just whatever happened, I was like, I need to learn about proper hydration.

464
00:29:21,580 --> 00:29:25,380
So I go and I find a podcast with Dr. Mercola, who was the

465
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,620
first Facebook labeled quack because he was a functional

466
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,260
medicine type of doctor, right? And Zach Bush, Dr. Zach Bush,

467
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,020
he's a very spiritual Christian guy and he's a naturopath now

468
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,340
as well. But they were talking about proper hydration at the cellular

469
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,550
level. So that's when I started thinking, well, what if I just make cells healthy,

470
00:29:46,790 --> 00:29:50,710
right? And so I started drinking better water and, you know, which means mineral water

471
00:29:50,790 --> 00:29:54,590
coming into the cell wall. The next thing in Dr. Mercola's Siri

472
00:29:55,090 --> 00:29:57,630
was on red light therapy. I was like, oh, well, that helps with your cells

473
00:29:58,130 --> 00:30:00,990
as well, the mitochondria. So I would go to a place and I would start

474
00:30:01,490 --> 00:30:04,590
doing red light therapy. And I would walk out of it and I'd get one

475
00:30:05,090 --> 00:30:07,670
or two clicks and a little bit of looseness. I was like, oh, wow,

476
00:30:07,990 --> 00:30:11,070
that's working. Why is it working? And so for two, three years, I was

477
00:30:11,570 --> 00:30:14,810
trying to figure out why that was working. I finally figured, figured it out.

478
00:30:15,310 --> 00:30:18,770
It's literally photons break the chemical bonds of

479
00:30:19,270 --> 00:30:22,650
these things, but you're also creating a sulfur response. Sulfur helps break down the

480
00:30:23,150 --> 00:30:26,530
bad collagen. So anyway, there's the science behind why red light works.

481
00:30:27,170 --> 00:30:30,450
And then so the same person who told me about the castor oil

482
00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:34,410
says you should do a three day fast. I had been doing intermittent fasting

483
00:30:34,910 --> 00:30:38,210
before. And so she challenged me to a three day fast. And I was like,

484
00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:41,920
all right, I'm going to do it. And then on day two, click, click,

485
00:30:42,420 --> 00:30:45,800
click, click, click, click, click. I was like, oh, gosh, what is happening? Like,

486
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:49,520
something is starting. So what it turns out, and I thought it was a sulfur

487
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:52,680
response, but really I think it's that enzyme response from the liver.

488
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,400
But I was telling myself it was sulfur at the time. And then I

489
00:30:56,900 --> 00:31:00,160
started going into a whole sulfur regimen, which made me nuts. It was like my

490
00:31:00,660 --> 00:31:04,200
nuts year. I had a really bad year of anxiety because I was doing sulfur.

491
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,510
I can't clear sulfur out of my system. Well, creates massive anxiety

492
00:31:09,010 --> 00:31:12,910
in me. For most people it'll do the opposite, but it's super effective

493
00:31:12,990 --> 00:31:16,510
in like an epsom salt bath, creating a sulfur response in

494
00:31:17,010 --> 00:31:20,590
the body. That sulfur then breaks down your bad collagen,

495
00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:23,470
right? And then you start having, like, loosening up, like,

496
00:31:23,970 --> 00:31:27,350
very, very quickly. If you do have a bad reaction,

497
00:31:27,850 --> 00:31:30,830
if you do CoQ10 and Glutathione,

498
00:31:31,150 --> 00:31:34,750
it will get rid of the sulfur in your body quicker and your anxiety

499
00:31:35,250 --> 00:31:38,590
depression stage will be less. But I literally went

500
00:31:39,130 --> 00:31:42,570
maybe a year, year and a half where I was doing that. And I was

501
00:31:43,070 --> 00:31:46,570
causing a lot of disruptions in my family, in my social life, in my work,

502
00:31:46,730 --> 00:31:50,090
everything, because I just thought I had all these external stressors.

503
00:31:50,570 --> 00:31:54,090
Turns out I was doing it to myself internally, plus all the pain and stuff

504
00:31:54,590 --> 00:31:57,770
that I was in. So. And then it just kept

505
00:31:58,010 --> 00:32:01,770
like, you know, somebody threw up on pineapple. And so I just got lucky,

506
00:32:02,270 --> 00:32:05,450
you know. And then, you know, what were the other things? Oh, the cell wall

507
00:32:05,950 --> 00:32:09,070
thing, you know, I was. And that's the latest thing that I'VE discovered was,

508
00:32:09,570 --> 00:32:13,110
you know, the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio. It's just some curious. I'm driving

509
00:32:13,610 --> 00:32:15,830
and I'm like, I don't know as much as I should about Omega 6s and

510
00:32:16,330 --> 00:32:19,710
Omega 3s and I hear about it, so let's find out why

511
00:32:20,210 --> 00:32:23,310
they're important. And then it, it says something in chat GPT and you're like,

512
00:32:23,810 --> 00:32:25,510
hey, talk about that a little bit more. Talk about that a little bit more.

513
00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:29,950
And then you realize that most Americans are building these highly inflammatory

514
00:32:30,450 --> 00:32:34,270
cells. And so, you know, that's probably where all the problems are coming from.

515
00:32:34,770 --> 00:32:37,820
Yeah. You know, so. Yeah, yeah. But, yeah, it's just a lot of falling forward.

516
00:32:38,220 --> 00:32:42,380
Few mistakes, mostly falling forward. I mean, with the oxalates,

517
00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:45,700
you know, my son. If it wasn't for my son in all of

518
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,660
this, this would have never happened. But he would require me to sleep with him

519
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,420
next to his crib at night, which I think is a crime.

520
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,180
We should all sleep with our children in the bed until they're a certain age.

521
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,780
But we initially, we started doing that and I would listen to Dr.

522
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,280
Mercola's podcasts. The one on oxalates came out.

523
00:33:03,780 --> 00:33:07,360
Sally K. Norton, everyone follow her. She's the queen of oxalates.

524
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,160
Was going to talk about oxalic acid. And I was like, that doesn't apply to

525
00:33:11,660 --> 00:33:15,440
me. I don't even know what an. It sounds like a biochemistry thing.

526
00:33:15,940 --> 00:33:19,600
And I got a C minus in college biology, so never even got to chemistry.

527
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,600
And so I was like, you know what? I'm going to listen to it anyway.

528
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,080
And because I had always been acupuncturing myself already, I had been

529
00:33:27,580 --> 00:33:31,020
coming across these oxalates not knowing what these things were.

530
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,980
I would feel them in my muscles. And then she started talking about

531
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,740
it. It's like, oh, my God. Yeah, I juice spinach, I juice beets. I was

532
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,700
juicing Swiss chards. I'm doing almond milk. That's what all these things are. And that's

533
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,620
when I started doing the cleanse. When I did that initial cleanse is when the

534
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,940
biggest response happened. Because you broke down so many of these oxalates,

535
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,180
I was getting all this muscle twitching, which is a good thing. It means you're

536
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,620
getting energy and oxygen back into the muscle. Right.

537
00:33:57,420 --> 00:34:00,600
Most people see a muscle twitch, they think that they got about some disease.

538
00:34:01,100 --> 00:34:04,960
It's. No, you're reactivating your muscles, so massage it. Do something kind

539
00:34:05,460 --> 00:34:08,800
of help. Help that area. And then from that point on, I mean,

540
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:12,520
things just were just lined up for me. I mean, I Literally got lucky.

541
00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:16,960
But it's like, you know, everybody's like, hey, here's the reason why for fibromyalgia.

542
00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:20,200
And there's no one reason for fibromyalgia. There's no one reason for chronic pain.

543
00:34:20,700 --> 00:34:24,560
There's multitude of reasons and a couple different ways

544
00:34:25,060 --> 00:34:27,840
to break them down. So if you learn what the reasons are, right?

545
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,080
So the reason doesn't leave behind the damage. The reason is the reason,

546
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,480
whatever it is, it's you. You eat poorly, you had a car accident,

547
00:34:36,980 --> 00:34:40,560
you had mold disease, Lyme's disease. It can be anything

548
00:34:41,060 --> 00:34:44,320
that causes the initial inflammation response.

549
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,360
That's where you want to start, is how's the body responding to what

550
00:34:48,860 --> 00:34:52,640
is going in my body? And because we're 75% of our food is highly processed,

551
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:56,700
most of the stuff we put in our body is garbage. Like, it literally

552
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,860
cannot process it, and it creates little bits of inflammation every time we

553
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,980
put one of these bad foods into our body. Every single time. And every inflammation

554
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,139
event comes with a collagen response, and you're not building your collagen correctly.

555
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:12,100
So anyway, I just kept following forward, and so what I did is that the

556
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,180
undo method isn't a cure or a diagnosis

557
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,140
or treatment, whatever. It's information that is gonna

558
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,710
teach you what are the main causes of pain?

559
00:35:24,350 --> 00:35:27,790
Where does pain originate from? Right. And all this

560
00:35:28,290 --> 00:35:30,750
stuff is backed with third party NIH published studies.

561
00:35:31,390 --> 00:35:34,830
Where does it come from? What's causing it? What causes those

562
00:35:35,330 --> 00:35:38,830
events to happen? And how do we break these things down at their chemical

563
00:35:39,330 --> 00:35:42,590
bonds to then stop aggravating these pain receptors?

564
00:35:43,090 --> 00:35:46,350
And that's like the entire concept behind the whole thing. And then we teach you

565
00:35:46,850 --> 00:35:49,300
how to build a healthier cell. You want to build a healthy cell wall.

566
00:35:49,770 --> 00:35:52,610
So. But it's very. It's very simple once you dig into it.

567
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:55,610
Okay. Yeah, it really is. I know it sounds like a bunch of science.

568
00:35:55,690 --> 00:35:59,450
I'm a dumb football player and I got this figured out, so. No, no,

569
00:35:59,950 --> 00:36:03,930
yeah, Yeah. I think, you know, when people have

570
00:36:04,430 --> 00:36:08,570
a direction, the amount of information isn't intimidating.

571
00:36:09,070 --> 00:36:12,610
It's more so when you're trying to figure out whether or not something

572
00:36:13,110 --> 00:36:16,600
is legitimate or not, because you have people saying

573
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,000
the exact opposite things and everyone is insisting

574
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:23,960
that they're right. You know, and so it's so frustrating as a

575
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,320
person just existing to try to get to

576
00:36:27,820 --> 00:36:32,040
some sort of truth. Right. So, you know, you lived

577
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,400
that truth, you found that truth by experimentation.

578
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,400
Yeah. Which again, is something that not everybody will commit to doing

579
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,250
because it's hard. It's not easy. It takes, takes self discipline.

580
00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:46,530
I don't think anyone else would have done this. I think that's why I was

581
00:36:47,030 --> 00:36:50,730
quote unquote chosen for it because I'm, I'm insane. I'm crazy. Like,

582
00:36:51,230 --> 00:36:53,810
I played one year of high school football. I knew I was playing in the

583
00:36:54,310 --> 00:36:57,690
NFL. Yeah. Like, I created an energy brokerage with like no experience in energy.

584
00:36:58,190 --> 00:37:01,530
Became a top 100 fastest growing companies in Philadelphia. Wow. Like, you know,

585
00:37:02,030 --> 00:37:05,890
I, I, I do these things that are great because

586
00:37:06,390 --> 00:37:08,850
I don't know, maybe it's my trauma as a child. Like, hey, notice me,

587
00:37:09,350 --> 00:37:13,390
you know, look at me, you know, who knows? But you

588
00:37:13,890 --> 00:37:17,630
know, it is, I'm super proud of what

589
00:37:18,130 --> 00:37:21,870
I've created for other people because I know the frustration of

590
00:37:22,370 --> 00:37:24,870
other people. One of the most frustrating things I see is when you see these

591
00:37:25,370 --> 00:37:28,590
influencers on social media who are young and

592
00:37:29,090 --> 00:37:32,430
have never gone through stiffness and pain. And they tell you, because it's like

593
00:37:32,930 --> 00:37:36,670
the person with really great hair, you're genetically, don't tell me that you've got

594
00:37:37,170 --> 00:37:41,110
this regimen for great hair, you genetic. And so these young people who

595
00:37:41,610 --> 00:37:43,830
are like, oh, if you've got hip pain, just twist this way and twist that

596
00:37:44,330 --> 00:37:47,170
way and it'll go away. Well, no, it's not, because the things that are holding

597
00:37:47,670 --> 00:37:50,730
this together are stronger than steel. So it's not going to happen if you just

598
00:37:51,230 --> 00:37:54,850
twist this way and twist this way. You need things to actually happen

599
00:37:55,350 --> 00:37:59,010
and you need to have it rooted in a scientific evidence or

600
00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:02,530
no one's going to trust it. So part of my, you know, the process of

601
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:06,370
me why it took so long to put this together is because you got,

602
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:10,530
you can't, Grandma can't tell you what to do without you trying to find

603
00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:14,280
out, okay, does grandma have any scientific evidence behind her

604
00:38:14,780 --> 00:38:17,760
telling me to go hug a tree? And you find all the scientific evidence and

605
00:38:18,260 --> 00:38:21,800
then you do these things intentionally because now you know why they're working.

606
00:38:22,300 --> 00:38:24,360
I'm going to talk about breathing through your nose real quick to make it like

607
00:38:24,860 --> 00:38:28,200
my point. I don't breathe through my nose. Well, once again, one of the

608
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:32,440
things as a child that I was impacted by, a doctor said, do you breathe

609
00:38:32,940 --> 00:38:36,560
through your nose or do you breathe through your mouth? Second grade, I've held onto

610
00:38:37,060 --> 00:38:40,410
that and wondered why he asked me that up until adulthood.

611
00:38:40,570 --> 00:38:43,370
And it turns out when you breathe through your nose,

612
00:38:43,690 --> 00:38:47,090
which I don't do that well because I'm always stuffed up. So when you

613
00:38:47,590 --> 00:38:51,090
breathe through your nose, your body will take an amino acid called

614
00:38:51,590 --> 00:38:54,250
L arginine and convert it to nitric oxide.

615
00:38:54,650 --> 00:38:57,850
So when you have nitric oxide in your bloodstream,

616
00:38:57,930 --> 00:39:01,370
it only lasts two or three seconds in your body when you breathe through your

617
00:39:01,870 --> 00:39:04,810
nose. So it's this constant flow that you need happening.

618
00:39:05,590 --> 00:39:08,870
Those fibrins that form, it disrupts their formation,

619
00:39:08,950 --> 00:39:12,790
it prevents their formation from happening by basically not allowing

620
00:39:13,290 --> 00:39:16,790
those chemical bonds to bind together. So if you are eating

621
00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:20,430
pizza and you're breathing through your nose and I'm

622
00:39:20,930 --> 00:39:24,230
eating the same pizza and I'm not breathing through my nose, I'm gonna

623
00:39:24,730 --> 00:39:28,990
have more chronic pain and stiffness because of the breathing through the

624
00:39:29,490 --> 00:39:32,790
other person is doing. Right. So it's just like knowing little things

625
00:39:33,290 --> 00:39:36,590
like that. Like, you know, does acupuncture work? Well, a lot of people have tried

626
00:39:37,090 --> 00:39:40,230
acupuncture when they have chronic pain, it doesn't work, so they've given up on

627
00:39:40,730 --> 00:39:43,630
it. It's because you're doing it wrong. You need to do dry needling and you

628
00:39:44,130 --> 00:39:48,110
need to find the stiffest, most tender, painful points of your

629
00:39:48,610 --> 00:39:52,030
body and have your acupuncture, acupuncture that area and

630
00:39:52,530 --> 00:39:56,030
you're going to feel that pop open. You're like, okay, acupuncture does work. I've just

631
00:39:56,530 --> 00:40:00,070
been doing it wrong. I do drink enough water. Are you drinking water that's got

632
00:40:00,570 --> 00:40:04,630
mineral content in it or are you drinking acidic water that has no nutritional

633
00:40:05,130 --> 00:40:08,570
value to whatsoever? Right. So it's like, let me put these things

634
00:40:09,070 --> 00:40:12,170
together in a very simple way to understand, but with the science that

635
00:40:12,670 --> 00:40:14,690
backs it up, and here's the result you should expect.

636
00:40:16,210 --> 00:40:19,930
I think my own personal experience with

637
00:40:20,430 --> 00:40:24,210
this, but also hearing from others, is that once you find something

638
00:40:25,010 --> 00:40:28,130
that, I don't know,

639
00:40:28,770 --> 00:40:32,120
once you find an explanation for something that makes

640
00:40:32,620 --> 00:40:36,240
you feel less crazy about where you've been in your journey and

641
00:40:36,740 --> 00:40:40,360
like, that you're not the only one. And that other people are

642
00:40:40,860 --> 00:40:44,640
struggling with this too, because as common as it is, it's largely

643
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,200
not talked about. Right. And so, well, it's quote unquote misunderstood.

644
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,640
Okay, Right. So that's what they're gonna. Doctors will tell you. We just don't understand

645
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:56,360
it well enough yet. It's like, well, every scientific piece

646
00:40:56,860 --> 00:41:00,080
of evidence is available to you to figure it out. It's actually

647
00:41:00,580 --> 00:41:04,300
very simple. They're just not taught that and they're not allow down to talk about

648
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,140
that. And that was going to be another question for you. Alternative modalities

649
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,620
are becoming increasingly popular as people have resources to

650
00:41:12,860 --> 00:41:16,860
look things up for themselves and people are disseminating

651
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,460
information at rates higher than ever before. Yeah. So.

652
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,300
But we've got how many videos out there telling you please, different things.

653
00:41:24,860 --> 00:41:28,220
And so that was my. You know, and I would. I got

654
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:31,940
sucked into that trap as well. But, like, you know, and I. I'm not going

655
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,380
to say that I have the end all, be all solution,

656
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,700
but what I have put together, it can be added to.

657
00:41:40,940 --> 00:41:44,660
You cannot dispute it. You can try to dispute it. There's no

658
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,660
possible way that you can dispute anything that's in my

659
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,580
method to be effective or that it is or is not

660
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,900
effective. I know it's effective. There's tons of research. Not just one study for

661
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,670
each one of these things. Tons of studies. The science is the science. Right.

662
00:42:00,830 --> 00:42:04,110
With these things. So it's just applying it to your

663
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:08,990
life and, like, which piece of it talks to you more? Were you a keto?

664
00:42:09,630 --> 00:42:12,870
Big bacon eater? Maybe that's your

665
00:42:13,370 --> 00:42:16,950
problem. Maybe you didn't have Lyme's disease. And they're going to cause two different reactions

666
00:42:17,450 --> 00:42:20,230
within the body, but you have to be aware of both of them. So you

667
00:42:20,730 --> 00:42:24,590
can kind of test each one of them out to see what protocol

668
00:42:25,090 --> 00:42:28,230
might be helpful for you. Sure. Yeah.

669
00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:32,710
No, I think it's really interesting. I think it's really great

670
00:42:33,210 --> 00:42:36,910
that there's more availability and

671
00:42:37,410 --> 00:42:41,030
that people are able to find answers to things that previously it really

672
00:42:41,530 --> 00:42:44,830
was largely like, this is just your life. Yeah. And let me make it even

673
00:42:45,330 --> 00:42:49,110
easier for people because studying my method

674
00:42:49,270 --> 00:42:52,630
or my playbook sounds overwhelming because you're hearing

675
00:42:53,130 --> 00:42:57,210
me talk about it. It. It's way easier than how. I'm probably

676
00:42:57,710 --> 00:43:01,010
jumping from topic to topic here. But if you try the supplement,

677
00:43:01,410 --> 00:43:05,370
the supplement targets just about everything that I've talked about in

678
00:43:05,870 --> 00:43:08,850
some way. It works for many people.

679
00:43:09,010 --> 00:43:12,570
And I can't really say what it's doing, or I can tell you the science

680
00:43:13,070 --> 00:43:16,210
behind it, but I can't make claims say that it works for many people

681
00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:19,770
within the first day. Wow. Because these things are actively

682
00:43:20,270 --> 00:43:24,260
searching out what it's targeting. Right. Some people I've

683
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,620
had, you know, another friend who has fibromyalgia pretty bad. I didn't

684
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,580
hear from her for. For two weeks. I was sweating. I was like, oh,

685
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,340
my God, this isn't working for her. What's going on? Like, I don't hear from

686
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,420
her. Then finally, at two weeks, she's like, dan, you're a genius. I can't.

687
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,260
This is the first time anything's ever worked for me, you know? But I'm like,

688
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,340
why'd you wait so long because I didn't really notice it till now. It's like,

689
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,280
okay. Then there's the people. So I got a buddy who.

690
00:43:47,780 --> 00:43:50,320
I was surprised he bought it because he's not the kind of guy who's,

691
00:43:50,820 --> 00:43:53,760
like, in chronic pain, but he's having some shoulder issues, which are very localized.

692
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:57,360
And so 30 days or so

693
00:43:57,860 --> 00:44:00,040
later, I call him up. I didn't hear from him, and once again, I'm like,

694
00:44:00,540 --> 00:44:02,240
I don't want my friends to think I'm selling them snake oil.

695
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,720
And as I call him, he tells

696
00:44:07,220 --> 00:44:10,600
me this. Later, as he's reaching for the phone, thinking, oh, I didn't call Espo

697
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:14,850
to tell him what I thought of his supplement. He notices shoulder

698
00:44:15,350 --> 00:44:19,250
pain was gone. When it goes away, you don't know it goes away because

699
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:22,730
you're stopped being. You're not reminded of it. It's like an old friend just leaves.

700
00:44:23,230 --> 00:44:26,290
Like ghosts, you and you. You're like, oh, wait, where. Where'd that person go a

701
00:44:26,790 --> 00:44:29,570
few days later? You know, you're like, oh, I don't have that. And that.

702
00:44:29,650 --> 00:44:33,650
I told that story to the president of my NFL PA Chapter.

703
00:44:34,130 --> 00:44:37,450
And he goes, dude, come to think of it, I had my arm around my

704
00:44:37,950 --> 00:44:40,330
girl all night last night. I can only have it there for a few minutes

705
00:44:40,830 --> 00:44:44,370
at a time because I get a burning in my arm, which I completely understand

706
00:44:44,530 --> 00:44:47,890
that. Because when, you know, I would have to turn over, you know, Kate,

707
00:44:48,390 --> 00:44:51,370
I'd want to hug, you know, hey, I'm a cuddler, but I couldn't, you know,

708
00:44:51,870 --> 00:44:54,970
I'd have to have two pillows underneath my back, and I'd be turned around the

709
00:44:55,470 --> 00:44:57,450
other way. And if I tried to put my arm around her, I mean,

710
00:44:57,950 --> 00:45:01,450
within 30 seconds, it felt like I was being stabbed with an iron. You know,

711
00:45:01,950 --> 00:45:05,410
it was. It was painful. So. And then, you know, there's a handful of people.

712
00:45:05,910 --> 00:45:09,400
It's like, I didn't really notice anything, but that's. That's. I mean, less than 5%

713
00:45:09,900 --> 00:45:13,080
of people. So if you want something that, say, might work,

714
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,680
but I think it's giving you the best option of working. If you try

715
00:45:17,180 --> 00:45:20,680
the supplement and that starts working for you, get into the method and

716
00:45:21,180 --> 00:45:23,439
start applying the rest of the things to your life, because it's just going to

717
00:45:23,939 --> 00:45:27,040
speed it up. Yeah. Right. This. The supplement can work on its own. Right.

718
00:45:27,540 --> 00:45:30,440
Without you going into the method and making all these crazy changes to your life.

719
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,490
But if you make these changes, things are going to happen for you way

720
00:45:34,990 --> 00:45:38,410
more quickly than if you don't. Yeah. You Know, So. So you

721
00:45:38,910 --> 00:45:41,610
had briefly mentioned the name, but I don't think we actually talked about you.

722
00:45:42,110 --> 00:45:46,010
You call it the Undo Method. Oh, the Undo Method. So I. It's Undu.

723
00:45:46,510 --> 00:45:49,970
Undu Me is the website that came.

724
00:45:50,470 --> 00:45:53,730
That name came very, very early. I mean, years and years ago, because I heard

725
00:45:54,230 --> 00:45:57,450
two people talking to Dr. Mercola about undoing something.

726
00:45:57,950 --> 00:46:00,410
I was like, oh, that's what I want to. I want to undo.

727
00:46:01,050 --> 00:46:04,330
But I have these Eastern philosophies in there as well.

728
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,880
So it's kind of an homage to Hindu. Right. So it's like Easter, because the

729
00:46:09,380 --> 00:46:12,560
breathing and the meditation and the grounding, plus the science

730
00:46:13,060 --> 00:46:16,520
behind all that stuff is in the program as well. So I just thought it

731
00:46:17,020 --> 00:46:20,360
was a kind of a cool play on words. Undo me. So, yeah,

732
00:46:20,860 --> 00:46:24,840
Undo me. I like it. Yeah, no, it makes sense. You very much goes

733
00:46:25,340 --> 00:46:28,280
with the theme of everything that you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. And I don't expect

734
00:46:28,780 --> 00:46:32,000
everybody wants to be a world ranked master sprinter, but just the other day I

735
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:35,440
was tying my shoes and I was thinking, I don't have pain tying my shoes.

736
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,520
It's like just. That is a huge win, you know?

737
00:46:39,020 --> 00:46:41,640
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I feel like there's so much that can be said,

738
00:46:42,140 --> 00:46:46,000
and I'm sure you've had all of these conversations with people about just lifestyle

739
00:46:46,500 --> 00:46:50,040
and, you know, lack of movement and lack of being

740
00:46:50,540 --> 00:46:53,760
able to move and just accepting it, feeling like that's just the

741
00:46:54,260 --> 00:46:57,840
way that life is. Yeah. And the problem with lack of movement is that your

742
00:46:58,340 --> 00:47:01,200
collagen is building itself, reforming itself,

743
00:47:01,700 --> 00:47:04,920
reshaping itself every second of the day, day, always, constantly.

744
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,280
And I don't know if you ever had like the regular phones where you'd put

745
00:47:08,780 --> 00:47:12,200
it to your ear and you'd get that stiff neck. That's how fast collagen sets

746
00:47:12,700 --> 00:47:15,880
in. Right. So if we're. Now we're in chronic pain

747
00:47:16,380 --> 00:47:19,840
and we're not moving, that collagen is still setting in and it's

748
00:47:20,340 --> 00:47:23,720
still pulling itself tight, and those bonds are setting in. And so you're becoming

749
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,680
stiffer and stiffer over time by resting things. But then

750
00:47:28,180 --> 00:47:31,160
by moving, you're creating more pain and you can't. It's like, what do I do?

751
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,910
And it literally becomes like a prison of stone. Like it's a box

752
00:47:34,980 --> 00:47:38,460
body prison for you. And until you, you know, when you have

753
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,580
that first thing, break open the crack a little, you get

754
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,700
hope. And then that hope is like, okay, well, if that happened, what else

755
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,260
can happen? And then like I was saying, you know, Yesterday I didn't want to

756
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,700
go to the gym. It's, you know, the sun's not out. You know, I get

757
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,660
seasonal affective disorder. You know, if I look at DNA as part of the

758
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,460
things I look into, my vitamin D receptors are both very slow. Right.

759
00:48:01,940 --> 00:48:05,700
And so I was just like, you know what? I gotta go to

760
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,420
the gym. I gotta go. As soon as I walked in the gym, I was

761
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,180
happy I was there. And then a giant chunk, like one of the biggest chunks

762
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,380
of stuff released from my shoulder, and I was just like, thank God I came

763
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,140
today. Because that might not have happened. I mean, it would have eventually happened,

764
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,900
but it's making my days less

765
00:48:23,700 --> 00:48:26,980
painful. I don't say it's painful. It's more annoying at this

766
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,080
point than painful. But it becomes a lifestyle of like,

767
00:48:31,580 --> 00:48:35,680
what else can happen? And then you start, when you start realizing

768
00:48:36,180 --> 00:48:39,560
that you're more than likely doing this to yourself with your food and your diet,

769
00:48:40,060 --> 00:48:43,680
your medications, just lifestyle. Then you switch your life to

770
00:48:44,180 --> 00:48:47,200
like, my hobby is health,

771
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,240
you know, my secondary career, whatever you

772
00:48:51,740 --> 00:48:54,680
want it to be, however you want to label it, is health. And then when

773
00:48:55,180 --> 00:48:58,760
you slow down to the speed of nature and you stop

774
00:48:59,260 --> 00:49:02,840
eating manufactured foods and you stop putting yourself in front of technology all

775
00:49:03,340 --> 00:49:06,640
the time, and you have a better relationship with the earth around

776
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,840
it becomes more intrinsic to your soul, if that makes sense.

777
00:49:14,340 --> 00:49:18,880
Right. It's like you don't feel like you're missing out on all this other stuff,

778
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,960
the latest episode of American Idol or whatever

779
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:26,880
people watch. I don't even watch TV anymore. But whatever

780
00:49:27,380 --> 00:49:30,620
it is, it's like once you start valuing health and nature

781
00:49:30,700 --> 00:49:34,220
and quietness and stability a little

782
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:37,820
more, yeah, you, you become

783
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,980
healthier. But it also, once you become, when you're becoming healthier,

784
00:49:42,540 --> 00:49:46,220
you value those things more as well. So it's like shutting down

785
00:49:46,720 --> 00:49:50,460
the noise so you don't. So you're not affected by the noise

786
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,900
so much. I don't know, I haven't really thought that out, but they were,

787
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,580
you know, it's like you gotta have one to have the other, but you gotta

788
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,160
do em kind of at the same time. Sure. You know, I think it' difficult

789
00:50:00,660 --> 00:50:04,040
because if there's so much all of the time,

790
00:50:04,540 --> 00:50:09,000
there's so much noise all of the time. And so to opt out in

791
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:13,000
any, like, there's no opting out in a permanent way. Right. You can't,

792
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:16,640
you, you're not part of life then if you're not. Yeah,

793
00:50:17,140 --> 00:50:20,360
we don't have the privilege of all, like just not Having

794
00:50:20,860 --> 00:50:23,920
jobs, that's the weird balance you gotta figure out is good for you. Because at

795
00:50:24,420 --> 00:50:27,320
first I just wanted to withdraw from it all. Not. And I mean, like,

796
00:50:27,820 --> 00:50:29,800
once you kind of get red pilled or whatever you want to call it,

797
00:50:30,300 --> 00:50:34,040
and you realize that this pain and damage and mental

798
00:50:34,540 --> 00:50:38,120
health problems are probably been pushed upon us in

799
00:50:38,620 --> 00:50:42,320
an intentional way. Because a society that's weak and controllable

800
00:50:42,820 --> 00:50:46,600
is much better for their government than

801
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:50,400
if they're having good thoughts and full of spirituality and energy.

802
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,040
So, you know, so the food

803
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,720
balance, I think is the first thing that, you know, don't beat yourself up

804
00:50:59,220 --> 00:51:01,680
on. Like, oh, I'm not at the top of the mountain. Like, I know where

805
00:51:02,180 --> 00:51:05,680
the top of the mountain is. I'm not looking to achieve it. Right. I just

806
00:51:06,180 --> 00:51:09,440
want to be on the mountain. And so what that means is I've

807
00:51:09,940 --> 00:51:13,479
put the, you know, on the bowling alley, I've put the bumpers out. I'm not

808
00:51:13,979 --> 00:51:16,920
going in the gutter. But the food I bring into this home,

809
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,600
like 90% of it is healthy. Whole foods,

810
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:25,400
grass fed, organ meats, organic fruits and vegetables.

811
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,270
When I leave this home, I'm just gonna eat what's there. You know,

812
00:51:29,770 --> 00:51:33,630
I can't make myself that crazy person out in society. So I,

813
00:51:33,790 --> 00:51:37,070
you know, I had pizza the other day, I had ice cream the other day,

814
00:51:37,390 --> 00:51:40,390
but now I know that I'm not gonna have ice cream for another three,

815
00:51:40,890 --> 00:51:44,710
four weeks, you know, so I still indulge a little bit. But, you know,

816
00:51:45,210 --> 00:51:48,470
I, I was at the point where I was having three blizzards a week and

817
00:51:48,970 --> 00:51:51,950
that's probably 10 times the amount of sugar you're supposed to have. Yeah, but,

818
00:51:52,030 --> 00:51:54,455
and I think, oh, but I'm running around, I'm healthy, I'm like, you can't,

819
00:51:54,955 --> 00:51:58,570
you can't help that out. You have to avoid it. There's no combating

820
00:51:59,070 --> 00:52:02,050
those things. Right. You're still putting that sugar in your body.

821
00:52:02,550 --> 00:52:06,290
It's still causing an event that's happening in your body that takes

822
00:52:06,790 --> 00:52:10,689
a huge amount of effort to reverse. So it's

823
00:52:11,189 --> 00:52:14,210
better to just not put it in there in the first

824
00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:17,570
place. Yeah, yeah. So you are,

825
00:52:18,530 --> 00:52:21,870
you're a sprinter. Said that a couple of

826
00:52:22,370 --> 00:52:25,710
times. So this has been more than a decade journey for you in,

827
00:52:26,210 --> 00:52:29,510
in all of this. Yeah. When did that come back into play,

828
00:52:29,670 --> 00:52:33,630
sprint running? Well, I mean, you, you've mentioned that you kept

829
00:52:34,130 --> 00:52:39,310
going to the gym, but in terms of competing. Yeah. So at

830
00:52:39,810 --> 00:52:43,150
the beginning of the process when I thought it was going to be much

831
00:52:43,650 --> 00:52:48,210
shorter is when I started Back competing, so I

832
00:52:48,710 --> 00:52:50,610
think so 2000,

833
00:52:52,690 --> 00:52:56,850
where. Where are we? 25, 20, 22 is

834
00:52:57,350 --> 00:52:59,970
when I was a national champion. The year before that,

835
00:53:01,250 --> 00:53:04,930
I think I came in second in regionals. So it was the year before

836
00:53:05,430 --> 00:53:09,290
that is when I first started. But in that first race, like I

837
00:53:09,790 --> 00:53:13,170
had a problem. Like my, like I got a video up. Like I thought I

838
00:53:13,670 --> 00:53:17,150
pulled something, but I think things came, came apart. Meaning that a lot

839
00:53:17,650 --> 00:53:21,070
of glue kind of came apart. I had this really weird reaction

840
00:53:21,570 --> 00:53:25,190
in my leg. I was first and then I ended up coming in second because

841
00:53:25,690 --> 00:53:29,270
at the very end of that race I blew something out,

842
00:53:29,770 --> 00:53:33,550
but didn't. It was very weird. But then I'd go back and I'd

843
00:53:34,050 --> 00:53:37,150
look at those videos. I'm like, oh, I look so stiff. Like I feel like

844
00:53:37,650 --> 00:53:41,030
I'm not as bad as I am. But then I look at it and so

845
00:53:41,230 --> 00:53:44,590
it, you know, as you compete and you have a little bit

846
00:53:45,090 --> 00:53:48,270
of success, but you know, I'm in the middle of the pack in terms of

847
00:53:48,770 --> 00:53:52,190
like on an, like the fastest sprinters in my age group in

848
00:53:52,690 --> 00:53:56,030
America. You know, there's like the three or maybe three

849
00:53:56,590 --> 00:54:00,110
guys that are faster than me in the individual events and then

850
00:54:00,610 --> 00:54:03,910
me and a couple other guys in that, you know, 3, 4, 5 placement

851
00:54:04,410 --> 00:54:08,570
range and then everybody else behind us. It's like I need to want

852
00:54:09,070 --> 00:54:12,330
to be on the podium in every single race. Right. I mean, that's like just

853
00:54:12,830 --> 00:54:16,490
what I expect. And as I'm getting younger through

854
00:54:16,990 --> 00:54:21,250
this process, because this isn't just a pain thing, it's also an anti aging protocol

855
00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:25,530
as well. Because they're the same things. What causes stiffness, causes pain,

856
00:54:26,030 --> 00:54:29,890
causes aging. They're getting older, I'm getting

857
00:54:30,390 --> 00:54:33,810
younger, right. And I did give one of my main rivals a

858
00:54:34,310 --> 00:54:38,460
bottle of flexibility fuel. So I probably shouldn't have done that. But. But gotta

859
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,980
be a fair fit. Yeah. I mean, and it just becomes now you have this

860
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,660
lifestyle because. And I talked to some veterans as well and it's like, what do

861
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,500
you do after sports? Like, what do you do after the military? And you have

862
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,220
to find this thing that's gonna put your ship in a direction.

863
00:54:52,540 --> 00:54:55,980
And to me, I think the best thing that any human can make

864
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:00,340
that is find some athletic endeavor that you're passionate

865
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,340
about. It doesn't matter if it's, you know, just climbing up a rock at the,

866
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,320
you know, down the street. But then how do you get your body

867
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,960
to be the best at what you love? Right? And so if you

868
00:55:12,460 --> 00:55:15,520
have those two goals in mind, like one drives the other.

869
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,600
And so for me, not only running, but dancing, you know,

870
00:55:20,100 --> 00:55:23,440
movement. Because I'm such like, I'm like, you know, I'm like Charlie Chaplin, you know,

871
00:55:23,940 --> 00:55:26,640
like movement is. I'm Italian, you know, I use my hand and you know,

872
00:55:27,140 --> 00:55:31,080
stuff and movement was just like super important to me. And it drives your

873
00:55:31,580 --> 00:55:33,880
desire to get out of bed and go to the gym. On the days you

874
00:55:34,380 --> 00:55:37,850
don't want to go to the gym or making the decision to, you know,

875
00:55:38,350 --> 00:55:40,450
instead of having ice cream, you know, I make this.

876
00:55:42,050 --> 00:55:45,210
It's cacao powder, raw milk

877
00:55:45,710 --> 00:55:49,010
and colostrum. The colostrum really helps to break.

878
00:55:49,510 --> 00:55:51,650
But I want the ice cream and I don't want to go through the effort

879
00:55:52,150 --> 00:55:55,730
of making this thing. But I'm like, you're being lazy and you're not having a

880
00:55:56,230 --> 00:55:58,490
good relationship with food. And then when you do it and you make it,

881
00:55:58,990 --> 00:56:02,490
and then you go to bed at night on your fitted grounding blanket underneath

882
00:56:02,990 --> 00:56:05,970
the near range infrared light and you feel extra twitching happen,

883
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,840
you're like, it was worth it to forego the ice cream and make

884
00:56:10,340 --> 00:56:14,000
that other still very dessert tasting

885
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:18,480
thing. But it's adding benefit to your life. And so even in the method,

886
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,240
if you can't afford the supplements, I've got food choices that you can have

887
00:56:22,740 --> 00:56:25,600
and then here are the food choices that are damaging. So even if you're just

888
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:30,280
shopping better, you're going to have better outcomes, right? But I hope everyone

889
00:56:30,780 --> 00:56:33,360
tries the supplement. Like, that's really what I want them to do. I mean,

890
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:38,190
I, I know that it works. I call it the world's greatest supplement.

891
00:56:38,690 --> 00:56:41,790
Like right on the label. I've got videos that I've posted of people who have

892
00:56:42,290 --> 00:56:44,710
tried it who are like, I can't believe how much this is working.

893
00:56:46,310 --> 00:56:50,150
But, you know, so I'll just tell you where you can buy

894
00:56:50,650 --> 00:56:52,870
it. Because I want to get into like what the cost of the program is.

895
00:56:53,370 --> 00:56:56,150
It's so for. You can get it for under 50 bucks, right?

896
00:56:56,470 --> 00:56:59,870
It can last you 30 to 45 days, depending on how

897
00:57:00,370 --> 00:57:04,430
you dose it. Even if it's not helping with your chronic pain,

898
00:57:04,930 --> 00:57:09,030
it's helping to make you healthier because of what's in it. Your essential amino

899
00:57:09,530 --> 00:57:13,310
acids are essential. Most Americans are deficient in their essential amino acids.

900
00:57:13,390 --> 00:57:16,829
Not only does it have a big effect on your muscle health, but also cognitive

901
00:57:17,329 --> 00:57:20,870
benefits. And then there's the B Propolis, which is known to be

902
00:57:21,370 --> 00:57:24,790
an antiviral, antifungal, antihistamine. People who

903
00:57:25,290 --> 00:57:28,710
have herpes. It works better than the herpes medication to reduce the

904
00:57:29,210 --> 00:57:33,190
herpes virus. Benfodiamine, which acts

905
00:57:33,690 --> 00:57:37,110
as a. A precursor to thiamine, which is gonna create a coating

906
00:57:37,430 --> 00:57:41,470
around your cells so your cells don't respond as much. Alpha lipoic

907
00:57:41,970 --> 00:57:45,670
acid, which is a very powerful antioxidant. We're all dealing with oxidative

908
00:57:46,170 --> 00:57:49,910
stress, so even if it didn't help, you're not wasting your money

909
00:57:50,410 --> 00:57:53,470
by trying this new thing that this guy on the Internet says is

910
00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:56,630
so effective, right? Cause I know that's the. That's the thing like, oh, I wanna

911
00:57:57,130 --> 00:58:00,450
try this. I wanna try everybody. Everything. I've created the thing.

912
00:58:00,950 --> 00:58:03,250
Like, I know that, and I know that there's some improvements that I can make

913
00:58:03,750 --> 00:58:06,850
because there's always new things that I'm learning. But the way that it works

914
00:58:07,350 --> 00:58:10,850
is incredible. This, the program itself, the undo

915
00:58:11,350 --> 00:58:16,090
method, is hosted on a platform called WithMe. So undo,

916
00:58:16,890 --> 00:58:20,530
for $13.69 a month,

917
00:58:21,030 --> 00:58:24,810
you can have access to it. You don't need to have access more than a

918
00:58:25,310 --> 00:58:28,810
month. Like, you can literally learn everything in that program within

919
00:58:29,310 --> 00:58:33,050
a day, a week. You can go back and watch. Go screenshot it,

920
00:58:33,550 --> 00:58:36,850
whatever. You don't have the money to do it. I'm hoping that if you watch

921
00:58:37,350 --> 00:58:40,730
this, you also decide to buy my supplement. Everyone that buys my supplement

922
00:58:41,230 --> 00:58:44,810
reorders it because it's great. Okay.

923
00:58:45,310 --> 00:58:49,250
So. Or you can buy it for $196 and

924
00:58:49,750 --> 00:58:53,010
have access to it forever, and I give you a free bottle of flexibility fuel.

925
00:58:53,510 --> 00:58:56,950
It's a pretty good deal. Mm. You can even just go on my website and

926
00:58:57,450 --> 00:59:01,510
buy all the supp. The ingredients from Amazon and just bypass me completely.

927
00:59:01,590 --> 00:59:04,990
I don't care, like, whatever you need to do to get healthier. But that's my

928
00:59:05,490 --> 00:59:08,670
goal, is to find way to allow people to have

929
00:59:09,170 --> 00:59:12,150
a path to better health. But I hope they buy things from me. Yeah.

930
00:59:12,650 --> 00:59:15,830
You know, I want to support my family. We're gonna link to you. We're not

931
00:59:16,330 --> 00:59:18,910
gonna link to the ingredients. We'll link to you. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean,

932
00:59:19,410 --> 00:59:23,100
I think that's awesome. I think, yeah, you gotta

933
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,380
put it out there and that's great. And there's.

934
00:59:27,100 --> 00:59:30,060
Look, people try things all of the time.

935
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:34,020
There's no reason not to try something new. Let me just give you one more

936
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,380
story about few people that I just thought this

937
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,220
would be a bigger hit out the gates than it has

938
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,700
been so far. So prior to me

939
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,580
creating the program, but knowing that I was going to and knowing that I was

940
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,600
probably going to make a supplement, I was in all the Fibromyalgia, chronic pain

941
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,560
message boards on Facebook. And I'm one of them, right? I'm in

942
00:59:59,060 --> 01:00:02,080
there and I'm trying to help people. And everyone's ornery and nasty and I get

943
01:00:02,580 --> 01:00:05,800
it because we're all in chronic pain. But I thought, like, I'm gonna come in

944
01:00:06,300 --> 01:00:09,440
here and teach people like some, you know, some stuff. And I'm

945
01:00:09,940 --> 01:00:14,000
telling them about my program and here's a supplement and all the feedback

946
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:17,040
that I get from these group, like, I mean,

947
01:00:17,540 --> 01:00:20,790
99% of it is like, you never had fibromyalgia.

948
01:00:21,110 --> 01:00:24,710
You cannot cure fibromyalgia. You never had arthritis.

949
01:00:25,030 --> 01:00:28,390
You're a snake oil salesman. You're trying to sell us something else. You should be

950
01:00:28,890 --> 01:00:32,510
giving this away for free. It's so much negativity and it hurts my heart

951
01:00:33,010 --> 01:00:36,230
because I really am here to help people. I want to go in there and

952
01:00:36,870 --> 01:00:40,310
just ask me a question about it. Hey, Dan, how's it work? Not just

953
01:00:40,390 --> 01:00:44,230
it doesn't work, it's that you're all this kind of stuff. So that's

954
01:00:44,730 --> 01:00:48,320
been the initial reaction. It's only, it's been out six months or so, you know,

955
01:00:48,820 --> 01:00:52,040
since the summer, maybe a little more. But you know, all the testing that I

956
01:00:52,540 --> 01:00:55,560
had done, like I think I mentioned is, you know, Navy Seals, former NFL players,

957
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,520
former, you know, three time all American lacrosse players,

958
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,240
you know, people with fibromyalgia, chronic pain.

959
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,880
And so I stand behind it 100%. And I know when someone tries

960
01:01:06,380 --> 01:01:09,840
it, that's it, like they're going to try it. So that's why I basically give

961
01:01:10,340 --> 01:01:13,800
away the method for free. But you can go on to that platform and

962
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:17,460
I give you the world's greatest shopping list for free. Some meal

963
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,100
plans, there's going to be workout plans, all this kind of stuff. I'll answer any

964
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,740
question that anybody asks. I don't care what it is, if it's, you know,

965
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,540
if I don't care to give up the secret sauce, right? Like someone's going to

966
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,580
buy it and someone's going to helpful. But if you can't afford it, ask me

967
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,900
as many questions you want. It's like a Facebook page, this platform.

968
01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:39,620
So the world's greatest shopping list is. There's four essential

969
01:01:39,940 --> 01:01:43,740
categories. Essential nutrients, essential amino acids, essential minerals,

970
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,580
and essential fats. There are 90 of them that the body cannot make on its

971
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,120
own. Everything else that the body needs can be made from these things.

972
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,360
So it tells you where to get them from, like exactly where you need to

973
01:01:55,860 --> 01:01:59,480
shop to get these things. So you set your body up in the healthiest

974
01:01:59,980 --> 01:02:03,840
position that it can be for faster healing. My supplement is

975
01:02:04,340 --> 01:02:07,840
essential amino acid based. So you've knocked that out of the gate right away.

976
01:02:08,340 --> 01:02:11,440
Right. The nutrients. Right. There's 16 of them.

977
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,840
Get yourself a methylated multivitamin, you've got em

978
01:02:15,340 --> 01:02:18,720
all right there. Or you can find the foods here. So I give that away

979
01:02:19,220 --> 01:02:22,700
for free. Workout plans, a bunch of stuff for free. Community talking

980
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,260
to other people, they're going to be going through this that aren't going to be

981
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,940
so negative. You know, I think that's like, you know, I want to build that

982
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,900
community as well. Absolutely. Because the negativity doesn't

983
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,780
drive you forward. No, not at all. Not at all.

984
01:02:36,860 --> 01:02:40,340
I say it does the opposite. Yeah. But I think it speaks to how

985
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:44,060
strong the messaging is that it that like you can't change this.

986
01:02:44,300 --> 01:02:47,830
And so how what your fight

987
01:02:48,330 --> 01:02:51,510
is against that is to. Is really an upstream,

988
01:02:51,990 --> 01:02:56,430
you know, battle because you're fighting against doctors

989
01:02:56,930 --> 01:03:01,190
and a health system that has said you can't permanently fix this. We can only,

990
01:03:01,830 --> 01:03:05,430
you know, delay. Yeah. Manage your symptoms or

991
01:03:05,670 --> 01:03:09,750
you're dealing with the fitness influencers which

992
01:03:10,250 --> 01:03:14,310
have become very untrust. Untrusted towards

993
01:03:14,810 --> 01:03:18,690
consumers. Right. Yeah. And they also just have to realize there is never

994
01:03:19,190 --> 01:03:22,610
going to be a magic pill for this because if you understand

995
01:03:22,850 --> 01:03:26,650
what the diseases really are, the issues that these

996
01:03:27,150 --> 01:03:30,490
bad food choices and trauma and chemicals that

997
01:03:30,990 --> 01:03:34,770
they're spraying in the sky, whatever it is, create a cacophony

998
01:03:35,250 --> 01:03:39,410
of crap. It's literally like twigs and rocks

999
01:03:39,910 --> 01:03:44,210
and glue in your body. And like one medication isn't

1000
01:03:44,710 --> 01:03:48,340
going to, to break those things down. It takes an

1001
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:52,100
approach to your health rather than thinking that there's a

1002
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:56,500
healing option. It's just the way that you're going to live

1003
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,700
your life that creates a healing environment within your body.

1004
01:03:59,940 --> 01:04:03,860
Yeah. It's a holistic. Everything in

1005
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,580
here is all natural, a hundred percent, all natural. Well, I just mean it's your

1006
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,540
whole life. It's not just one thing. Way to approach it.

1007
01:04:11,620 --> 01:04:14,980
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there's no one reason that it happens.

1008
01:04:15,300 --> 01:04:18,040
And if you think that there is, you're going to be in pain the rest

1009
01:04:18,540 --> 01:04:21,480
of your life. You're going to be sick. So. Yeah. And I think if we're

1010
01:04:21,980 --> 01:04:24,920
being honest with ourselves, there are a lot of us that have just come to

1011
01:04:25,420 --> 01:04:28,280
this place of like it's easier to just accept that this is the way that

1012
01:04:28,780 --> 01:04:32,160
it is than to actually put in the work to change

1013
01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:35,800
it. Yeah. Here's the other thing. Reversing it's not easy either.

1014
01:04:36,300 --> 01:04:39,640
Yeah. I mean, you go through stuff like you're going to have bad days,

1015
01:04:40,140 --> 01:04:42,480
but you're also going to have bad days being in chronic pain all the time.

1016
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,240
So it's like, which one do I want? Do I want to trend toward health

1017
01:04:45,740 --> 01:04:48,140
or do I want to trend towards. Toward more disease?

1018
01:04:48,700 --> 01:04:52,500
And so there's only two ways it can go. It's not going

1019
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,380
to stay static. It's going to get worse or it's going to get better.

1020
01:04:56,460 --> 01:05:00,500
And it takes effort to make it better. Live the wave

1021
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,700
and live. And it's going to get worse. Yeah. You know?

1022
01:05:04,460 --> 01:05:07,660
Well, this is awesome. We will link to all of this in the show notes

1023
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,260
so people can find it super easy. Thank you so much for your time and

1024
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,980
your commitment to this. I think it's wonderful. And just your commitment to

1025
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,810
helping people, I think it's very admirable. Even if

1026
01:05:19,310 --> 01:05:23,170
it doesn't feel like it's going very far in the moment, I think

1027
01:05:23,970 --> 01:05:28,210
it's kind of like the pain. Maybe you'll look back in the future and realize

1028
01:05:28,710 --> 01:05:32,250
how big of an impact. I know. Yeah. I know that this

1029
01:05:32,750 --> 01:05:35,370
is all gonna work out. I know deep in my heart that it's all gonna

1030
01:05:35,870 --> 01:05:38,810
be fun. Just like the NFL, just like my business. Just like I was able

1031
01:05:39,310 --> 01:05:43,010
to reverse this stuff. It's gonna happen. Good. Yeah. I want more curious

1032
01:05:43,510 --> 01:05:46,320
people. I want people to doubt me, but I want you to doubt me and

1033
01:05:46,820 --> 01:05:49,640
ask me the question so I can educate you. Right. Not just doubt you and

1034
01:05:50,140 --> 01:05:53,320
write you off. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's great. I want

1035
01:05:53,820 --> 01:05:57,080
more. Have doctors call me. Okay. Have me in touch with their doctor.

1036
01:05:57,580 --> 01:06:00,960
You. You heard that, doctor? Yeah. Anybody that wants to dispute me on this,

1037
01:06:01,460 --> 01:06:04,240
I would love to, in a very professional way. Yeah,

1038
01:06:04,740 --> 01:06:07,960
sure. No, I think it's great. Being open to that is, I think, a huge

1039
01:06:08,460 --> 01:06:11,720
show of integrity. So great. Thank you for listening.

1040
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,800
The human experience. Everyone has a story,

1041
01:06:15,300 --> 01:06:18,360
and I'd love to hear yours. So be sure to check out the show notes
