The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

SPEAKER_00
One thing that I do every single night for the last year is tape my mouth shut.
0
SPEAKER_00
It is absolutely amazing.
0
SPEAKER_00
It has strengthened and defined my jawline.
0
SPEAKER_00
I have brighter eyes in the morning, and I even have more energy when I wake up.
0
SPEAKER_00
Breathing through your nose is the move.
0
SPEAKER_00
I like mouth tape so much that I decided to create my own.
0
SPEAKER_00
So voila, presenting the Skinny Confidential Mouth Tape.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is going to change your life.
0
SPEAKER_00
I am telling you, this is by far the best beauty tip that I have ever gotten my hands on.
0
SPEAKER_00
I cannot believe how effective mouth taping is.
0
SPEAKER_00
Breathing through your nose gives you all the benefits.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t snore anymore.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like my jaw is supported.
0
SPEAKER_00
It enhances my evening routine.
0
SPEAKER_00
But most of all, like I said, I just wake up with so much more energy.
0
SPEAKER_00
My eyes feel brighter.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s so easy to use.
0
SPEAKER_00
And it comes in the cutest little tin.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because I had all this mouth tape, like, lying around from other brands, and there was nothing to, like, travel with it.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was, like, on all these sheets of paper.
0
SPEAKER_00
I wanted to make it so you guys had, like, a cute travel tin that you could just grab, put in your purse, and go.
0
SPEAKER_00
So we ve created this buttercream tin.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like I said, the lips are pink.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s so easy to use.
0
SPEAKER_00
When you ve finished up your nighttime routine, simply apply the mouth tape over your lips.
0
SPEAKER_00
You ll never go to sleep without your bright pink mouth tape again, especially with that new chiseled jawline.
0
SPEAKER_00
Go stock the mouth tape on the site, shopskinnyconfidential.com.
0
SPEAKER_00
Definitely subscribe too because this is one of these things that you just want on subscription so you don t have to worry about it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I literally tape my mouth shut every single night.

SPEAKER_00
Happy Valentines.
0
SPEAKER_01
She s a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire.
0
SPEAKER_01
Fantastic.
0
SPEAKER_01
And he s a serial entrepreneur.
0
SPEAKER_01
A very smart cookie.
0
SPEAKER_01
And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostick are bringing you along for the ride.
0
SPEAKER_00
Get ready for some major realness.
0
SPEAKER_01
Welcome to The Skinny Confidential, him and her.
0
SPEAKER_03
So what we have to understand is that the cause of all dis-ease with a hyphen, which is lack of balance, lack of harmony in the body, which stems from the gut, which turns to disease if left unchecked, is two things and two things only.
0
SPEAKER_03
It s deficiency and toxicity.
0
SPEAKER_03
Most people in their lives are affecting or implementing the deficiency, like they re eating better foods, especially now in the new year.
0
SPEAKER_03
They re taking supplements, but what they re not doing is addressing the toxic components in their body.
0
SPEAKER_03
And I m telling you guys,
0
SPEAKER_03
toxicity and handling that detoxification is more important to your health than the actual nutrients you put into the body.
0
SPEAKER_02
Hello, everybody.
0
SPEAKER_02
Welcome back to the Skinny Confidential Him and Her Show.
0
SPEAKER_02
Today, we have one of our favorite guests returning to the show.
0
SPEAKER_02
That is Dr. Daryl Joffrey, who is a longtime friend, longtime guest of the show.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think this is his third, maybe even fourth appearance.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_02
I got to go back to the archives.
0
SPEAKER_02
In any case, we love having Dr. Daryl Joffrey on the show.
0
SPEAKER_02
Many of you may have heard his episodes in the past.
0
SPEAKER_02
He is one of the leading experts when it comes to gut health, wellness.
0
SPEAKER_02
Personally, Lauren and I, as we become friends with him, probably take advantage of that friendship by calling him randomly all the time whenever any of us are sick, whenever our kids are sick.
0
SPEAKER_02
He is one of the best people in the world.
0
SPEAKER_02
He always takes our phone calls.
0
SPEAKER_02
And he always gives us great advice on how to take care of ourself.
0
SPEAKER_02
Recently, I just got sick and I had this big chest congestion and he sent me this nebulizer, which we get into the episode and completely cleared it out.
0
SPEAKER_02
So with that, this episode is all focused on health, wellness.
0
SPEAKER_02
I know you guys love these episodes from us so much.
0
SPEAKER_02
We dissect some of the issues and problems surrounding big pharma.
0
SPEAKER_02
We talk about how to eliminate stress.
0
SPEAKER_02
We talk about protocols if you have to take antibiotics and what to do after to make sure that your gut is okay after taking antibiotics.
0
SPEAKER_02
We talk about changing in small habits for longevity and just everything when it comes to how your body works best.
0
SPEAKER_02
This episode is for anyone looking to feel better and feel healthier and implement new practices in their life that they may not be implementing, or even maybe correct past mistakes.
0
SPEAKER_02
I don t want to call them mistakes, but issues that they may have not been aware of in their past when it comes to taking care of themselves.
0
SPEAKER_02
So with that, Dr. Daryl Jaffe, welcome back to the Skinny Confidential Him and Her Show.
0
SPEAKER_01
This is the Skinny Confidential Him and Her.
0
SPEAKER_02
Dr. Daryl Joffrey back in the studio, third time I had to clarify that with you.
0
SPEAKER_02
I feel, well first welcome back, but I also feel like you, one are a saint and two, you only, you get the worst of me.
0
SPEAKER_02
You get, you, you get me calling you.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think I was in Florida one time.
0
SPEAKER_02
I m like, I think I m dying.
0
SPEAKER_02
I think I m having a heart attack that did not happen.
0
SPEAKER_02
I m a hypochondriac.
0
SPEAKER_02
But the second, the other one I m talking about is we called you when our child towns, we were traveling and,
0
SPEAKER_02
He had something crazy going on with like his ear or his sinus and we were in Italy and we were trying to get a doctor and he started like getting this crazy rash everywhere.
0
SPEAKER_03
All over his body.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, exactly.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I was like, who the hell can I call during this?
0
SPEAKER_02
And obviously we got in touch with our pediatrician out here.
0
SPEAKER_02
But then we had an Italian doctor over there, and he s probably a very nice guy, but his thing was put him on this crazy steroid antibiotic right away.
0
SPEAKER_02
And again, people are going to chime in and say, listen to your doctor right away.
0
SPEAKER_02
But my gut was telling me, let me get some other opinions.
0
SPEAKER_02
Let s see what else is going on here.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I called you and a couple other people that I respect, but mostly you.
0
SPEAKER_02
And you re like, hey, maybe be cautious about that approach.
0
SPEAKER_02
And thank God because we ended up steering away from that and everything got better.
0
SPEAKER_02
But it was scary for a minute there.
0
SPEAKER_00
We just didn t give him anything, like you said.
0
SPEAKER_00
And you said to order these specific eardrops off Amazon.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, they re all natural and that helped.
0
SPEAKER_02
But my point is that I think
0
SPEAKER_02
And you re no stranger to this, and you ve been on the show and talked about this many times.
0
SPEAKER_02
Sometimes that strict medical approach is appropriate and it s a time for antibiotics, but not all the time.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I think we ve gotten so trigger happy using vaccines and antibiotics and all of these things that the medical world, and I think people are maybe a little bit more hesitant now, but I think you re a voice of reason in a world that is like push, push, push.
0
SPEAKER_02
Because if we would have gone that route,
0
SPEAKER_02
you know, there s gut issues, there s all sorts of things you got to clean up later.
0
SPEAKER_02
And it turns out he didn t even need it to begin with.
0
SPEAKER_02
Right.
0
SPEAKER_02
It was just like, let s go to the nuclear option before we start looking at any other option.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think in Dr. Joe, you can speak to this as new parents or any parent, they freak out and they want to just do right away, like what they think they should do, what the doctor says, but they don t take a beat to really think about how it s going to affect in the future.
0
SPEAKER_03
Yeah, and it s sometimes the fear of God s put into us that you have to listen to them, right?
0
SPEAKER_03
Things are different now though.
0
SPEAKER_03
We have so much more information.
0
SPEAKER_03
We know there s other ways and thank God we have antibiotics.
0
SPEAKER_03
I mean, antibiotics have done so many great things and save people s lives, but it s for crisis care.
0
SPEAKER_03
If I m going to die, give me an antibiotic.
0
SPEAKER_03
You know, don t take me to Dr. Darrell.
0
SPEAKER_03
Like that s a crisis situation.
0
SPEAKER_03
It s not healthcare though.
0
SPEAKER_03
You know, it s it s a sick care model, but when we have it and we and we need it, it s there for us.
0
SPEAKER_03
So thank God we have that.
0
SPEAKER_03
But, you know, a lot of the doctors obviously well intentioned.
0
SPEAKER_03
This is the only tool they have in their tool bag.
0
SPEAKER_03
It s like you come, you have an ear infection, you re going to take an antibiotic.
0
SPEAKER_03
But it s not the way, you know, I m very blessed.
0
SPEAKER_03
My children now are six and nine.
0
SPEAKER_03
They ve never been on an antibiotic.
0
SPEAKER_03
You know, I m not saying that to impress anybody, but to impress upon you that there are other ways to strengthen the immune system.
0
SPEAKER_03
And I think you said it best is like, my gut spoke to me because the gut has so much to do with it.
0
SPEAKER_03
When you take that antibiotic, especially, how old was he?
0
SPEAKER_03
He was like probably around one, right?
0
SPEAKER_02
He was really young and it was scary because he was really struggling.
0
SPEAKER_02
But here s the thing, I can empathize.
0
SPEAKER_02
I mean, I don t believe you know real fear until you become a parent and have your own child and they re sick or hurt.
0
SPEAKER_02
I ve been sick and hurt many times in my life, and it s scary whenever you get over it, but when it s your child and they re that little and that helpless, every parent listening empathizes.
0
SPEAKER_03
There is nothing- It puts your philosophies and your principles to the test.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Sick child, I don t wish that on my worst enemy or worst person in the world.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s a whole different level of suffering.
0
SPEAKER_02
What I realized in that situation is this particular doctor probably had good intentions, but when I told him, hey, we re going to vet some other options and look at some other routes and maybe not do what you re prescribed, he was
1
SPEAKER_01
basically looking at me like I was the worst parent in the world, and if I m not doing this, I m putting this kid in harm s way.
1
SPEAKER_01
And listen, there s a lot of judgment, but my point is that we have so much information, to your point, that I wanted to see and hear other perspectives before I just went to the nuclear option.
1
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, and it wasn t a life-threatening situation, so you didn t have to go to the nuclear option, and at the end of the day, we have to team up and have an A-team, as I say, a wellness team around us of people that
1
SPEAKER_00
are going to be like minded to our philosophies and if we don t want to go that they have to respect that and they have to just kind of let you do what you want to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I really admire you guys you re in Italy you weren t even in the country and when you re abroad it s a little bit harder because you don t have access to the things that we have access here.
1
SPEAKER_00
We were talking about things I wanted to, you know, give towns at the moment that we couldn t, but you guys did have some molecular hydrogen with you.
1
SPEAKER_00
So we re like, all right, let s get the syringe that you had.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let s fill half of that with hydrogen, which is a very powerful anti-inflammatory.
1
SPEAKER_00
It helps gut function.
1
SPEAKER_00
And again, going back to like what the antibiotic would have done, you know, if that was a prolonged use, it s going to destroy your gut.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, one round of antibiotics is going to wipe out your gut for two years.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a napalm bomb.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s not just going in there and killing the bad, it s killing the good as well.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the problems that result after that become even greater than the infection you have in that moment.
1
SPEAKER_00
Because now, you ve went in, you ve killed the bad, but now all that good is gone.
1
SPEAKER_00
You get this massive dysbiosis in your gut where, look at your gut like a garden, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
You want lots of flowers, you don t want lots of weeds.
1
SPEAKER_00
When those weeds start to overtake the garden, that s when we get into trouble.
1
SPEAKER_00
And for most of us, that s what s happening.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s a test that we did with you a year and a half ago, the GI map test.
1
SPEAKER_00
We can actually measure people s gut microbiomes and see what that looks like.
1
SPEAKER_00
And obviously things like sugar, grains, artificial sweeteners, dairy, sugar, seed oils, those are gonna poke holes in the gut and really cause a massive amount of leaky gut.
1
SPEAKER_00
But the biggest one, as you said, that napalm bomb is the antibiotic.
1
SPEAKER_01
I think doing this show for as long as we ve done it, coming up on eight years, speaking to people like yourself, hearing different perspectives, I consider myself and Lauren very fortunate because we get to learn all of these things that we wouldn t necessarily learn without doing the show.
1
SPEAKER_01
And from that perspective,
1
SPEAKER_01
And listen, I did bring the doctrine and I did have the antibiotics and I had it there, but I wanted to see if we didn t have to, because I just knew like what a lot of these doctors do, and again, no shade, it s just this is the way that it s set up for sick care, is they want to tackle the thing that is immediately right in front of them.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then if there s another issue down the line, they will think, okay, let s tackle it then.
1
SPEAKER_01
But in the moment, a lot of these guys, not everyone, but in this particular case,
1
SPEAKER_01
There was no regard to what happens after you smash a one-year-old s body with antibiotics.
1
SPEAKER_01
There s no like, hey, after you get on a gut protocol, it s just like, hey, we ll deal with that later if there s an issue.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the issue would be if a symptom comes back, because it s a symptom-based approach.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s not it s definitely not looking at it from another way.
1
SPEAKER_00
So, you know, what you need to do is get to the root cause.
1
SPEAKER_00
And every time we travel, there s always a few core things that we bring, no matter what, because the key to being healthy with myself and our family, especially our children, is anticipation.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, hopefully these things don t happen, but if they do, you ve got to be prepared.
1
SPEAKER_02
What are the things that you bring?
1
SPEAKER_02
Give us the exact list.
1
SPEAKER_02
I m writing it down.
1
SPEAKER_00
Number one, bioactive silver hydrosol, not colloidal silver, which is a much bigger molecule.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about something called sovereign silver or Argentin 23.
1
SPEAKER_02
Is it the spray?
1
SPEAKER_00
The spray.
1
SPEAKER_01
You wanted me to have that one when this happened and I didn t have it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, but it s okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
But this is why we have these talks because next time you will have it and you ll be prepared.
1
SPEAKER_00
But it s great because they have a spray one for the mouth, which is really easy for children.
1
SPEAKER_00
It tastes like water.
1
SPEAKER_00
But what I love about it, it s a natural antibiotic.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right, it s gonna go in and it s gonna kill viruses.
1
SPEAKER_00
It stops viral replication in its place.
1
SPEAKER_00
So that virus enters the body most of the time through the nasal patches.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s gonna stop that from replicating and basically gaining momentum.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s antibacterial, it s antifungal, kills mold.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s also an immunomodulator.
1
SPEAKER_00
So at the same time, it s getting out the bat, it s boosting up that immune system.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I love that one.
1
SPEAKER_00
And again, I have no ties to the company, but Sovereign Silver Argentin 23 is stronger, same company.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a little bit of a stronger, 23 parts per million compared to 10 parts per million, which is the Sovereign Silver.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you could do sprays in the mouth.
1
SPEAKER_00
They make one with a little nasal piece because many times we re feeling that congestion in the nasal area.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can do a couple sprays up each nostril, lean back and let it just hold for 45 seconds.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then they sell like a big bottle of it.
1
SPEAKER_00
So we ll get the big bottle to refill because it can get expensive.
1
SPEAKER_00
Right.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it s cost effective that way.
1
SPEAKER_00
But the big bottles are great as well, because at home we ll just get like just for an immuno boost every morning.
1
SPEAKER_00
I ll take a tablespoon of that and I ll just do a shot of that.
1
SPEAKER_01
And it s OK to take daily.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, you do, you squish it around your mouth for 20 seconds, cause you want to get into the vascularity of the blood.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it gets right into your system and then you swallow that.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then if you re really sick and you have like an acute infection, no matter what it is, you can use a nebulizer, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
So you can take five milliliters and you put that in the nebulizer and you put a mask on and this is great for kids.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like we do this with our children.
1
SPEAKER_00
And what happens is now it gets into the bronchial.
1
SPEAKER_00
So if you have like a deep chest cough.
1
SPEAKER_02
I do.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it works wonders for that.
1
SPEAKER_02
Can you have brain fog nebulizer to get?
1
SPEAKER_02
I just I m recovering six weeks from bronchitis.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, so it s just, and there s not a specific brand.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have three of them at home.
1
SPEAKER_00
They make like the bigger ones are stronger for at home, but they make little tiny ones.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, and sometimes you do need a doctor s note for it, but you can guess- Good thing I know a doctor, I ll text you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, I was about to say, don t worry, we ll have one for you tomorrow.
1
SPEAKER_00
But the nebulizer is amazing because you put the mask on either ourself or our children and for 10 minutes and that s it, you stop that.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it s amazing because it also helps your brain because that s going into right into the brain.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it s lowering inflammation in the brain.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you re going to get rid of that brain fog.
1
SPEAKER_00
Your clarity is better, your memory, because when you re sick, all that stuff goes out.
1
SPEAKER_00
Right.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it just works on so many amazing systems of the body.
1
SPEAKER_00
It cleanses the blood, detoxifies the blood.
1
SPEAKER_02
And you re doing the nebulizer with the silver.
1
SPEAKER_00
I do the nebulizer with the silver, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
And that s like when I m like really acute.
1
SPEAKER_00
And if I have like, you know, a virus, I m just really not feeling well.
1
SPEAKER_02
I should have texted you six weeks ago.
1
SPEAKER_02
I didn t even think to text you about this.
1
SPEAKER_02
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
So that s number one.
1
SPEAKER_00
Number two is minerals, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
So our acid kicking minerals, because when you re sick, it s going to deplete your body of the minerals that you need to perform mentally and physically every single day.
1
SPEAKER_00
Minerals are critical.
1
SPEAKER_00
They literally are responsible for over a thousand different enzyme reactions in the body.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s the number one neuroprotector of the brain.
1
SPEAKER_00
You need that for a healthy immune system.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, we can go on and on and on.
1
SPEAKER_00
The key one being magnesium.
1
SPEAKER_00
So we ll do the minerals to replenish our body, to get those electrolytes back into the body, to basically charge up that immune system.
1
SPEAKER_02
And the one I like is the blood orange or the Kiwi strawberry.
1
SPEAKER_02
Those are the ones that I am obsessed with that my Kiwi story is the pig is the pig when that s all you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Right.
1
SPEAKER_02
So good.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
OK, so that s number two.
1
SPEAKER_00
Number three would be a probiotic.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right.
1
SPEAKER_00
Which you guys are big fans of, because, again, when you have any form of infection, there will be that dysbiosis.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like those weeds overtaking the garden.
1
SPEAKER_00
So we have to nourish and strengthen that gut microbiome with the healthy army that s going to go in and fight off the bad guys.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, probiotics are great for so many different reasons, but one of my major reasons why is they strengthen your gut, but they also nudge out any of the bad guys, the bad pathogens that want to take over.
1
SPEAKER_00
So that would be one.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then many times when people are away, they ll get food poisoning.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you want to bring some form of a binder.
1
SPEAKER_00
So activated charcoal through coconut charcoal would be a great one.
1
SPEAKER_00
I love the capsule.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t recommend the powder.
1
SPEAKER_00
Usually I m a big fan of powders because they re more bioavailable, but anyone knows that s had food poisoning, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
You can t barely even drink a sip of water.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you just have enough to get that capsule down.
1
SPEAKER_00
So if you have, uh, food poisoning or any form of that, and you re calling out both ends, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
You take one capsule every other hour for four, four capsules per day until the vomiting or the diarrhea stops.
1
SPEAKER_01
And when you, for kids specifically, when your kids are, you know, when the season six season comes along and they re going back in school or you re going to travel, like are there specific things you bring for the kids or do for the kids?
1
SPEAKER_01
Or this is, that s the stuff you do for them.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s the stuff they do for them.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s just less of a dose.
1
SPEAKER_02
So bioactive silver spray, not the silver, silver and not the, not the colloidal silver.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you can get sovereign silver or Argentine 23.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then you also want the nasal Argentine 23, the nebulizer minerals, probiotics, and a binder coconut charcoal capsule.
1
SPEAKER_02
And you put that in your little travel kit and you re good.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
And again, like if I m traveling, I m not going to bring the nebulizer.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m just going to bring the spray bottle.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s small.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s easy.
1
SPEAKER_00
I literally have it in my bag right there.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have the nasal one.
1
SPEAKER_00
I never leave home without it.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I want to have ease.
1
SPEAKER_00
I want to be there and I want to be taken away.
1
SPEAKER_00
Right.
1
SPEAKER_00
If you re going through the airport, I m not going to bring the big bottle.
1
SPEAKER_00
So if I m traveling, I ll just bring the small spray bottle, the one for the mouth or for the nasal piece.
1
SPEAKER_00
But at home, that s when I ll definitely use the nebulizer.
1
SPEAKER_02
Okay, so here s the thing.
1
SPEAKER_02
I did a test with you.
1
SPEAKER_02
You pricked my finger, which I m not over.
1
SPEAKER_00
We re going to do it again later today.
2
SPEAKER_01
single day I have to prep myself, but you pricked my finger and you put my blood through a test.
2
SPEAKER_01
that literally showed every single time in my life when I was on antibiotics.
2
SPEAKER_01
There was a time where I was getting lots of UTIs when I was like 18 and that like spiked.
2
SPEAKER_01
You even tracked when I was on antibiotics back to when I was born, which was fucking wild.
2
SPEAKER_01
Like that is so crazy.
2
SPEAKER_01
How does that test work and what does that tell you?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it s, it s one of my favorite tests and you do not see it very commonly here in the States.
2
SPEAKER_00
When you go to Europe, you will see it s called live blood cell analysis.
2
SPEAKER_00
And what we re doing is we re taking as Lauren loves so much, a little prick of the finger with like a glucose stick, like same thing.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then that drop of blood, why do we take it from the fingertip?
2
SPEAKER_00
Because that s capillary blood.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s the oldest blood of the body.
2
SPEAKER_00
We re literally measuring where your oxygenated blood meets your
2
SPEAKER_00
penis blood, you know, it s where basically all the stuff kind of intertwines so we can see the entire picture of your entire vascular system.
2
SPEAKER_00
And when we basically take that blood, it s alive.
2
SPEAKER_00
So we call it live blood cell analysis because we re looking at your blood.
2
SPEAKER_00
We put that slide under a microscope in real time and on an HD screen, we re looking to see what your live
2
SPEAKER_00
biological terrain looks like living.
2
SPEAKER_00
So you go to a doctor, they take blood from your arm.
2
SPEAKER_00
They re looking at the venous blood and you got to wait.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then you re looking at the quantity of the blood.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s important too.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is your vitamin D level.
2
SPEAKER_00
These are your liver enzymes.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is your cholesterol number.
2
SPEAKER_00
This is your blood glucose.
2
SPEAKER_00
You need to know that.
2
SPEAKER_00
But one of the downsides, I don t want to say downside of that, is that you can have somebody that is very healthy, like Michael, that s very fit.
2
SPEAKER_00
You can have somebody that has cancer.
2
SPEAKER_00
You can have somebody that is just sedentary in a wheelchair, kind of three different phases of life as far as health goes.
2
SPEAKER_00
And their numbers, in terms of the quantity, can be very similar.
2
SPEAKER_00
Right, because many times those things don t change till later on with, you know, chronic disease.
2
SPEAKER_00
The cool thing about live blood cell analysis is we re looking at your blood in real time and we re seeing what your entire terrain is showing us as far as toxicity, the health of your red blood cells, any stealth pathogens that leaked from the gut, right, because we test the gut too, but that leak from the gut into the blood, you can see them in the blood.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, there was one time I was testing somebody and there was a red blood cell and literally out of that red blood cell popped a parasite.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, it s wild stuff that you can never see with conventional blood testing.
2
SPEAKER_02
Well, you know, to that point, I don t know if you remember this.
2
SPEAKER_02
You probably do.
2
SPEAKER_02
When I got that whole blood panel member and then I shared it with you.
2
SPEAKER_02
And the blood panel looked good, right?
2
SPEAKER_02
It was like, oh, I m really healthy, but there was still to my, not to use a pun, my gut reaction was something was still not right.
2
SPEAKER_02
And so we did a gut test with you and that other test and revealed that I definitely needed to strengthen the gut barrier and to strengthen my gut health.
2
SPEAKER_02
So I got on a protocol with you and I would have never caught that if I just looked at the blood test because, and I ve told this on the podcast many times, but I want to clarify that I got the further test with you.
2
SPEAKER_02
I think a lot of people go and they re like, okay, good, clean, like my blood s good.
2
SPEAKER_02
And they don t take it a step further because they re just not being offered it or they maybe don t know about it.
2
SPEAKER_02
And if I wouldn t have done that with you, I would still be suffering.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, the blood tests are critical because we re looking at so many important markers, especially inflammatory markers.
2
SPEAKER_00
But when you see those inflammatory markers rising, whether that s high sensitivity C-reactive protein, homocysteine, or your sedimentation rate, three key inflammatory markers, the question is, is why?
2
SPEAKER_00
So again, another downside with most doctors is that they re not really saying, hey, go look at the source of this, which is the gut.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, Hippocrates said the best guys look to the gut.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s where all disease begins.
2
SPEAKER_00
And he s right.
2
SPEAKER_00
But what was he talking about?
2
SPEAKER_00
He was talking about leaky gut.
2
SPEAKER_00
I take it one step further, which is low hydrochloric acid.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I think this is one of the most important things we need to talk about at some point, maybe not right in this moment.
2
SPEAKER_02
Please.
2
SPEAKER_02
I don t think we ever talked about it here.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, I mean, one thing we have to understand is that as we get older, right, we don t get stronger, we get a little weaker, we don t get faster, we get a little slower, unless you guys, you know, opposite in terms of the health, but that s kind of like what happens with people as they age, we don t produce more hydrochloric acid, we produce less hydrochloric acid.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it s critical as far as the gut s concerned, because number one, it s the first line of defense.
2
SPEAKER_02
So when we are- For those that are ignorant, myself, hydrochloric acid is what s in your gut to help break down whatever s going on in the gut.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s in your stomach, exactly.
2
SPEAKER_00
So when I say get off your acid, I m not talking about the stomach acid.
2
SPEAKER_00
We actually need stomach acid.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s very, very important.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about the toxins in the tissues, in the body, and the rest of the gut.
2
SPEAKER_00
But one area where we absolutely need to have sufficient levels of hydrochloric acid is the stomach.
2
SPEAKER_00
Acid reflux, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
Well, most people say, wait, acid reflux, that s too much acid in the stomach.
2
SPEAKER_00
No, contrary to what we might think from a common sense standpoint, it s actually lower levels of acid.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s supported by 16,000 research journal articles.
2
SPEAKER_00
So what happens is, is that with lower levels of acid, it causes a malfunctioning of this valve between your esophagus and the stomach.
2
SPEAKER_00
So normally that should be opening and closing.
2
SPEAKER_00
But when we have low levels of stomach acid, that gets stuck.
2
SPEAKER_00
So when we go down to sleep, the acid that s in there, even though it s lower level, still comes up and causes those acid symptoms.
2
SPEAKER_00
The burn, the throat burn, which I had significantly, you know, when I was dealing with some old toxicity a couple of years ago.
2
SPEAKER_00
But ultimately, again, it s caused by low acid.
2
SPEAKER_00
But there s three major things that happen with low acid.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number one, we have to understand is that you re not what you eat, you re what you digest, absorb, and assimilate.
2
SPEAKER_00
So you could be eating what I call the most powerful strength eating diet, organic foods, but if we re not breaking down those foods and digesting them and assimilating the nutrients, you re still getting malnutrition into your cells.
2
SPEAKER_00
Your cells aren t getting what they need, even if you re putting in that best diet possible.
2
SPEAKER_00
Why?
2
SPEAKER_00
Because you re not breaking down the food because of low levels of hydrochloric acid.
2
SPEAKER_00
Number two, when those foods come down, if you re not breaking down those foods, you re gonna develop something called food sensitivities.
2
SPEAKER_00
So we do a test, which we did with you called an MRT test, and it s a mediator release test that basically looks at not are you allergic to the food, but are you creating inflammation when you eat that specific food because you re not digesting it properly?
2
SPEAKER_00
And here s the crazy thing, when I did my test,
2
SPEAKER_00
garlic showed up.
2
SPEAKER_00
You re telling an Italian guy that he can t eat garlic for three months?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, if he wants to have a healthy gut, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
Avocados came up.
2
SPEAKER_00
Avocado s the most beautiful food in the world.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s what I call God s butter.
2
SPEAKER_00
But for me, in that moment, it wasn t the right food for me because I couldn t digest and assimilate it.
2
SPEAKER_00
So now these food particles don t get broken down.
2
SPEAKER_00
They go into your gut microbiome.
2
SPEAKER_00
Your immune system lives there, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
80% of the immune system lives in the gut.
2
SPEAKER_00
It begins to attack that food instead of taking that food in as fuel.
2
SPEAKER_00
That becomes another inflammatory component.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then the third thing is that it s a free entry way for any stealth pathogens coming from the water that we drink, the food that we eat, the air that we breathe.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m telling you, you ve spoken about this on many episodes.
2
SPEAKER_00
We are more toxic than we ve been ever in human history.
2
SPEAKER_00
Well, we need that acid there to basically block that.
2
SPEAKER_00
I say like Michigan won the national championship.
2
SPEAKER_00
You want that Michigan defensive line in your stomach.
2
SPEAKER_00
For most people, it s the Boston College line where I went to school.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s going right through.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then what happens is those stealth pathogens get into your gut, they take over, and that s when all the damage starts to happen.
2
SPEAKER_01
So my dad, he has acid reflux and he says one thing that really helps alleviate it.
2
SPEAKER_01
This is so weird is a red delicious apple at night.
2
SPEAKER_00
Interesting.
2
SPEAKER_01
So that s one of his tips that helps, but what can he do?
2
SPEAKER_01
Because you re telling us everything like that happens, but what can people do for a solution?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_00
So there s some very simple tips I want to give people.
2
SPEAKER_00
Um, number one,
2
SPEAKER_00
before your biggest meal of the day, which for most people is dinner time, you re gonna take, start with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, about 20 to 30 minutes before your biggest meal, which again would be dinner.
2
SPEAKER_00
You can also use lemon juice, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
Because again, yes, these things, people are probably thinking like, wait, that s acidic, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
Why do you wanna put more acid in?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yes, it s acidic outside of the body, but once you drink that, it ll dilute it in a little bit of water, and once it s metabolized, it has a high alkalizing effect on your gut.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s also gonna generally help you build up
2
SPEAKER_00
the hydrochloric acid, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
So someone with acid reflux severely, they got to go very, very easy at the beginning because they might not be able to tolerate it.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I would start with just a teaspoon or maybe even a half of a teaspoon for him and then dilute that in about two or three ounces of water, drink that on an empty stomach and see how he does.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now, if that actually causes more irritation, it means he s not ready for that route.
2
SPEAKER_00
I would have him take a scoop of my minerals right after to calm it down or just some baking soda, teaspoon of baking soda.
2
SPEAKER_01
He loves baking soda.
2
SPEAKER_00
Perfect.
2
SPEAKER_00
Teaspoon of baking soda, a little bit of water, that ll calm it down.
2
SPEAKER_00
Then with him, we d have to actually wait on that aspect of it.
2
SPEAKER_00
We have to go to some upper GI soothing agents.
2
SPEAKER_00
I would do some minerals because the sodium bicarbonate in the minerals is very calming to the tissue.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s something, a product called DGL, deglycerized licorice, which is great because it actually coats the lining of the mucous membranes in the stomach and the small intestine.
2
SPEAKER_00
And again, it s very healing.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I like the chewable ones because some people
3
SPEAKER_00
for me, it was in my throat.
3
SPEAKER_00
Other people, it s in their chest.
3
SPEAKER_00
So if you chew the DGL, it ll actually go from the throat all the way down into the stomach.
3
SPEAKER_00
And it s very, very calming and soothing.
3
SPEAKER_00
There s a tea I love called Throat Coat Tea.
3
SPEAKER_02
We love Throat Coat.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it s amazing.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, there s a few different companies that make it.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love the one by Yogi.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think it tastes great.
3
SPEAKER_00
Traditional Medicinals makes another good one.
3
SPEAKER_00
But that s great because again, it s going to soothe and calm everything up here.
3
SPEAKER_00
So with anyone with reflux, number one, we have to calm and soothe.
3
SPEAKER_00
Is he on a PPI, like a medication?
3
SPEAKER_01
I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_01
I have to ask him.
3
SPEAKER_01
Should he be on one?
3
SPEAKER_00
No.
3
SPEAKER_00
I mean, the goal is not to, but if someone s on it, they can t come off cold turkey either.
3
SPEAKER_00
So that s something that we would correct later down the line.
3
SPEAKER_00
Right now, like any 80% of the clients that come to me to coach, they have reflux, some of the most severe refluxes.
3
SPEAKER_00
So what we do is we have to test our gut to see exactly what s causing it and what s driving it.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I love the DGL is very good.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love the ThroCoT.
3
SPEAKER_00
And once things are calmed and soothed, then at that point we can start to really address what s going on in the gut that s driving up that reflux.
3
SPEAKER_00
And usually there s some form of stealth pathogen, whether that s H. pylori in the stomach or some other inflammatory pathogen that we have to eradicate it.
3
SPEAKER_00
But we have to test the gut.
3
SPEAKER_01
How do I avoid getting it as his daughter?
3
SPEAKER_01
Is it genetic or is it not?
3
SPEAKER_00
No.
3
SPEAKER_00
So the good news is it s not genetic.
3
SPEAKER_00
Most things are not genetic.
3
SPEAKER_01
The heartburn that I had when I was pregnant was like someone was blowing fire at my exhaust.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s it s the worst.
3
SPEAKER_01
Look, so bad.
3
SPEAKER_00
I lost my dad to esophageal cancer.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know, I wish I knew this information now.
3
SPEAKER_00
And I remember for years and years he had this dry cough.
3
SPEAKER_00
I was like, my dad has that.
3
SPEAKER_00
So that s a sign of silent reflux.
3
SPEAKER_00
Right.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I was wondering, like, this is before I became like a gut specialist.
3
SPEAKER_01
I know you re listening.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
I hope you re taking notes.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
3
SPEAKER_00
So it s not genetic.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s the most important thing.
3
SPEAKER_00
I remember the doctors after my dad was diagnosed, they re like, oh, you got to go do the test.
3
SPEAKER_00
You got to do an endoscopy.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m like, dudes, I m healthy.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, I don t need to do that right now.
3
SPEAKER_00
Right.
3
SPEAKER_00
I know what to do.
3
SPEAKER_00
Epigenetic means you could have the genetic predisposition to turning to getting something.
3
SPEAKER_00
but you have to turn that gene on or off.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that s why our lifestyle choices and factors come into play.
3
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, it s like if somebody, when we were talking, when I was worried about my heart, which actually turned out to be fine, thank God.
3
SPEAKER_02
But to your point, epigenetics, like there s things that I now do in my daily regimen to try to guard against.
3
SPEAKER_02
If I think, hey, this runs in the family, then I m not going to be sitting static
3
SPEAKER_02
I m going to bust my heart.
3
SPEAKER_02
I m going to, you know, do my cardio.
3
SPEAKER_02
I m going to do, I m going to eat certain foods.
3
SPEAKER_02
Like there s things that I m aware of it.
3
SPEAKER_02
I think if you take the approach, like, oh, this is in my family.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then you just follow the same path that that family follows.
3
SPEAKER_02
Like, of course you re going to potentially accelerate those risks.
3
SPEAKER_00
It is crazy.
3
SPEAKER_00
If we just succumb to that, then like, what s the point of doing anything?
3
SPEAKER_00
I might as well just go and eat all unhealthy food.
3
SPEAKER_00
If I m going to get this, no matter what these doctors tell me I m going to get.
3
SPEAKER_00
So it s not genetic.
3
SPEAKER_00
So for Lauren, what you want to do is put some steps into place.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s going to build up the hydrochloric acid, which we know is diminishing as we age.
3
SPEAKER_00
So the first step would be having a little bit of apple cider vinegar before your biggest meal of the day.
3
SPEAKER_00
Then what I would do is when your meal starts, you want to take a digestive enzyme, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
Because again, at the end of the day, we don t die of old age, we die of inflammation.
3
SPEAKER_00
We need to lower inflammation.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s the same thing with the hypertension, the high blood pressure in your family.
3
SPEAKER_00
they have inflammation in their blood.
3
SPEAKER_00
They don t have a deficiency of atenolol, which is what the doctors are probably giving them, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
So to give a blood pressure medication, it lowers the blood pressure, but they re not getting to the root cause of why that blood pressure went up in the first place.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s because there s so much inflammation there and the heart has to work harder to basically pump that blood through that.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s just crazy.
3
SPEAKER_01
It s such a backwards effect.
3
SPEAKER_01
I take a ray, which is the digestive enzyme.
3
SPEAKER_01
Would you take it after you eat?
3
SPEAKER_00
I would take it right before your first bite or right after your first bite because you want to have that ready to go.
3
SPEAKER_00
So when you eat those proteins, fats and carbohydrates, now you re getting the assistance.
3
SPEAKER_00
And like Michael, when we did the test with you, we knew if you were sufficient in your enzymes, you were.
3
SPEAKER_00
So you didn t really have to take the enzyme because we looked at that marker called the last taste one.
3
SPEAKER_00
But without doing the test, there s no downside to taking a digestive enzyme, Lauren.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I don t hurt.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s not going to hurt.
3
SPEAKER_00
So I would definitely do that.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s going to basically take the stress off of your gut so you can digest your food better and create less inflammation.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then when you start to eat your meal, I would recommend your first couple of bites having a little bit of protein first, because the protein is going to help build up the hydrochloric acid in the stomach at the beginning of the meal.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that s going to assist the breakdown of the rest of my bowl of meat.
3
SPEAKER_01
I have a bowl of meat, a huge bowl of ground round meat.
3
SPEAKER_02
Good.

I want to tell you guys a little bit of a horror story.
3
SPEAKER_02
Let s paint a picture.
3
SPEAKER_02
Somebody has been building their brand.
3
SPEAKER_02
on one of these social platforms where they actually don t own the domain.
3
SPEAKER_02
They have no newsletter control.
3
SPEAKER_02
They have no first party data.
3
SPEAKER_02
They don t have any of this stuff.
3
SPEAKER_02
It s all at the mercy of a platform that can immediately change an algorithm or change their terms or even, dare I say, boot you off the platform.
3
SPEAKER_02
This is not how you want to build an online brand, an online platform.
3
SPEAKER_02

Let s talk about our new favorite juice.
3
SPEAKER_02
We recently just had the founder of The Squeeze Juice on the podcast talking all about this family owned, 100% all natural juice, none from concentrate, no water added.
3
SPEAKER_02
We give this product to our children now every morning.
3
SPEAKER_02
Lauren and I are on it.
3
SPEAKER_02
It is non-GMO, fresh pressed, and HPP pasteurized.
3
SPEAKER_02
They currently have five flavors that are all honestly fabulous.
3
SPEAKER_02
The pomegranate juice, which is an amazing antioxidant.
3
SPEAKER_02
I was actually looking into pomegranate juice because I heard through my friend that it was an amazing antioxidant to have it when you take your vitamins, so that s what I do.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then they have three functional juices.
3
SPEAKER_02
They have Power,
3
SPEAKER_02
which is going to make you feel good.
3
SPEAKER_02
It s going to get you power through your day.
3
SPEAKER_02
It s got ingredients like matcha, spinach, cucumber.
3
SPEAKER_02
They have immunity, which is full of vitamin C, ginger, turmeric, all of the great stuff.
3
SPEAKER_02
And then they have also one that s like a natural caffeine.
3
SPEAKER_02
It s called Focus.
3
SPEAKER_02
And it s going to give you a natural energy from a plant called Guarana.
3
SPEAKER_02
I hope I said that right.
3
SPEAKER_02
Guarana.
3
SPEAKER_02
I m pronouncing it.
3
SPEAKER_02
But anyways, it is also incredible.
3
SPEAKER_02
And Lauren and I, when we were doing this episode,
3
SPEAKER_02
with the Squeeze Juice team.
3
SPEAKER_02
We re just sucking these things down.
3
SPEAKER_02
I could barely get a word out because I just kept drinking so much juice.
3
SPEAKER_02
So if you re in the market for juice and you re looking for something different, you want to give your kids better, healthier juice, you don t want to just give them that store-bought stuff from Concentrate with all the nasty artificial ingredients, check out the Squeeze Juice.

Let s talk about AG1.
3
SPEAKER_02
Taking care of your health isn t always easy, but it should at least be simple.
3
SPEAKER_02
That s why for at least the last eight years, I ve been drinking AG1 every day, no exceptions.
3
SPEAKER_02
It s just one scoop mixed in water once a day, every day, and it makes me feel

3
SPEAKER_02
And I feel like I don t have to travel with 18 different supplements in a suitcase.
3
SPEAKER_02
So like I said, if there s one product I had to recommend to elevate your health, it s AG1.

4
SPEAKER_02
I would say that you started, because of our interaction on the podcast, you kind of got Lauren and I early and were able to maybe help us avoid some things that could have happened or at least prevent things that might have happened.
4
SPEAKER_02
But I imagine in your practice, the majority of your patients are coming to you when they ve tried a bunch of other things and then nothing s working and then things are really fucked up, excuse my language, unfortunately.
4
SPEAKER_02
But that s probably interesting for you.
4
SPEAKER_02
the majority of people say 80% of the patients that come to you, what is like the main issue in the gut that they re facing or what is the root cause of how they get there?
4
SPEAKER_00
Love the question.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I get this all the time.
4
SPEAKER_00
I have clients that come to me, they re like, Dr. Daryl, um, you know, they follow me on Instagram.
4
SPEAKER_00
They re like, I m doing your strength eating diet.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m taking like the core five supplements that you talk about.
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, I m exercising, heck, I m even meditating.
4
SPEAKER_00
Why do I still feel like crap?
4
SPEAKER_00
Right.
4
SPEAKER_00
Um, well there s the reason why.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, I always like to look at this plant analogy.
4
SPEAKER_00
If you guys start to see this plant that starts to wilt, what s the first thing that comes to your mind?
4
SPEAKER_01
Water and put sunlight on it.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
4
SPEAKER_00
Why not drugs or surgery?
4
SPEAKER_00
Right.
4
SPEAKER_00
This is like where most doctors go first.
4
SPEAKER_00
Again, that s crisis care.
4
SPEAKER_00
The plant doesn t need drugs or surgery unless the plant s going to die.
4
SPEAKER_00
So we cleared that part out first.
4
SPEAKER_00
So let s give the plant what it needs to be strong.
4
SPEAKER_00
How am I going to strengthen that plant?
4
SPEAKER_00
Give it sunlight, as you say, give it water.
4
SPEAKER_00
Maybe you need some nutrients in the soil.
4
SPEAKER_00
All those three things are going to make that that plant strong because that s what it needs to thrive and survive.
4
SPEAKER_00
But here s a problem.
4
SPEAKER_00
The plant s still welding after we gave it those three things.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s still dying.
4
SPEAKER_00
Well, maybe because we missed the gas station next door leaking in toxins.
4
SPEAKER_00
So the root system of that plant, which was making that plant toxic, and what s the root system of the body?
4
SPEAKER_00
It s the gut.
4
SPEAKER_00
So what we have to understand is that the cause of all dis-ease with a hyphen, which is lack of balance, lack of harmony in the body, which stems from the gut, which turns to disease if left unchecked, is two things and two things only.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s deficiency,
4
SPEAKER_00
and toxicity.
4
SPEAKER_00
Most people in their lives are affecting or implementing the deficiency.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like they re eating better foods, especially now in the new year.
4
SPEAKER_00
They re taking supplements, but what they re not doing is addressing the toxic components in their body.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I m telling you guys, toxicity and handling that detoxification is more important to your health than the actual nutrients you put into the body.
4
SPEAKER_00
You have to weed out the gut first.
4
SPEAKER_00
I never forget in New York City before we moved, my son must ve been three at the time and he loved like demolition.
4
SPEAKER_00
And we went by like one of those like buildings that they just like took down and there was rubble everywhere.
4
SPEAKER_00
And I m like, you can t put a building up until you take that rubble out.
4
SPEAKER_00
Like you can t build a beautiful garden in your gut, which we all need to do, unless you weed out some of those things that are making us toxic.
4
SPEAKER_00
And that s why we have to address the stealth pathogens, which everybody has living in their gut
4
SPEAKER_00
that are building up and they re taking us out and they re causing downstream issues in our body like hypothyroidism, brain fog, anxiety, depression, reproductive issues, because we don t know they re there.
4
SPEAKER_00
Just like a stealth fighter.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s up there.
4
SPEAKER_00
We have no idea it s there.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s going to take you out and kill you.
4
SPEAKER_00
But once you know it s there and identify it, then and only then can you put together an action, a protocol to eradicate what s causing the problem.
4
SPEAKER_01
So what are some things our audience can do at home to get rid of toxicity and detox?
4
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I like to keep it simple.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, keep it simple.
4
SPEAKER_00
Solution to pollution is dilution.
4
SPEAKER_00
Let s start with water.
4
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I know it s like overly simple, but the 90 percent of people aren t drinking enough water.
4
SPEAKER_00
Again, like that s the first thing you guys said with the plant.
4
SPEAKER_00
But like, let s not make that water what I call neutral.
4
SPEAKER_00
Let s make that water acid kicking.
4
SPEAKER_00
So let s put some good stuff.
4
SPEAKER_00
You could put some Himalayan salt in the water, which are trace minerals, which will help neutralize the acidity in the body.
4
SPEAKER_00
You can put real salt, which I love.
4
SPEAKER_00
You could put the greens, you could put the minerals, you can put molecular hydrogen into there.
4
SPEAKER_00
So there s things that you could do to jazz up the water.
4
SPEAKER_00
Number two, oxygenation.
4
SPEAKER_00
These pathogens love a non-oxygenated environment.
4
SPEAKER_00
Cancer is a pathogen.
4
SPEAKER_00
Look, the average person builds 10,000 cancer cells in their body every day, but it s the job of our immune system to keep it in check.
4
SPEAKER_00
But why does cancer build up?
4
SPEAKER_00
Obviously it s from crap foods, completely refined and processed, but ultimately there was a study from the University of Texas.
4
SPEAKER_00
I wrote this in my first book.
4
SPEAKER_00
And what they showed was that cancer happens when
4
SPEAKER_00
the actual cells in our body become deficient of oxygen.
4
SPEAKER_00
95% of the oxygen can t get into that cell.
4
SPEAKER_00
So now, because the cell s not getting oxygen, it needs some other form of energy.
4
SPEAKER_00
What does it turn to?
4
SPEAKER_00
Sugar, right?
4
SPEAKER_00
Sugar is an easy energy.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s a dirty energy.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s a bad energy, but it starts to ferment sugar, which is an anaerobic process, which happens without oxygen.
4
SPEAKER_00
The byproduct of that is lactic acid.
4
SPEAKER_00
So this is what promotes the proliferation of these cancer cells.
4
SPEAKER_00
So we have to oxygenate our body.
4
SPEAKER_00
Most of us are in this like sympathetic fight or flight state.
4
SPEAKER_00
So doing something as simple as a four, eight extended breath.
4
SPEAKER_00
And this is how it goes.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s very simple.
4
SPEAKER_00
You breathe in for four seconds through the nose.
4
SPEAKER_00
That sympathetic nerve system, which is fight or flight, you breathe out for eight seconds out the mouth, which is parasympathetic, rest, digest, and repair.
4
SPEAKER_00
And you re going to do that 20 times.
4
SPEAKER_00
And at the end of that 20 repetition, it takes less than three minutes, your body s going to be in a more natural grounded state.
4
SPEAKER_00
And it s amazing.
4
SPEAKER_00
This is another thing I love is meditation.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, literally waking up in the morning because we live in such a rat race of a lifestyle and we re going a million miles per hour right now, we are all in this like sympathetic state.
4
SPEAKER_00
And one of the biggest toxins to our body and our life is stress.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s like when you re stressed, your body doesn t care about going inwards and focusing on growth and repair and healing your gut and your body.
4
SPEAKER_00
It just is focusing outside like that.
4
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s like when I moved to Naples, Florida, three months after that, we got a hurricane.
4
SPEAKER_00
So if a hurricane comes, you re not gonna remodel your kitchen, right?
4
SPEAKER_00
You re gonna board up the windows, you re gonna fight that hurricane, or you re gonna run from that hurricane.
4
SPEAKER_00
And because repetition is the language of the brain, the third F is called freeze, like a fawn, like a deer in headlights, you re gonna freeze.
4
SPEAKER_00
fight, flight, or freeze.
4
SPEAKER_00
And when that happens, then the body becomes so toxic because it doesn t care about digesting your food.
4
SPEAKER_00
If a T-Rex is breeding down your throat, it doesn t care about your immune system.
4
SPEAKER_00
All it wants to do is get you out of danger.
4
SPEAKER_00
But the problem is, is that it s not like our caveman where like it was a dinosaur.
4
SPEAKER_00
They got out of danger.
4
SPEAKER_00
They climbed up a tree and now they re okay.
4
SPEAKER_00
Now they can go back to their natural, relaxed life.
4
SPEAKER_00
We are living in a state of constant, chronic, physical, chemical, emotional stress, EMFs.
4
SPEAKER_00
and it s taking us out and it s knocking down our body.
4
SPEAKER_00
That s why we re really so sick.
4
SPEAKER_00
So we have to become better at managing stress.
4
SPEAKER_00
And for most of us, stress is managing us.
4
SPEAKER_01
I m obsessed with all those things.
4
SPEAKER_01
Oxygenation, uh, meditation.
4
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
4
SPEAKER_01
And the first one was water, water, but jazz it up, jazz it up, make it acid kicking.
4
SPEAKER_01
There s something that went viral on my Instagram that I haven t even talked to you about.
4
SPEAKER_01
It got thousands and thousands of shares a while ago.
4
SPEAKER_01
I would say probably a year ago I posted that I was on an antibiotic.
4
SPEAKER_01
And I called you and you said, I m going to give you a protocol to offset the antibiotic.
4
SPEAKER_01
So I took the antibiotic and then you sent me this protocol and I shared it on my Instagram stories of what I was doing to, I want to say, offset the antibiotic.
4
SPEAKER_01
If someone has to be on an antibiotic or they ve been on an antibiotic, what exactly specifically is the Dr. Darryl protocol to healing your gut so you can fight that antibiotic?
4
SPEAKER_00
OK, it s awesome.
4
SPEAKER_00
It s called the Leaky Gut Protocol.
4
SPEAKER_00
And Michael, I m going to say why after I tell the protocol why you need to do this as well, even though you didn t take the antibiotic.
4
SPEAKER_00
Crazy study on antibiotics is going to blow your mind.
4
SPEAKER_02
Well, I ve taken antibiotics in my life before for surgeries, I think.
4
SPEAKER_01
He was given a Z-Pak, like a
4
SPEAKER_01
No, not really.
4
SPEAKER_02
But I think like, you know, like I I ve had to get like wisdom.
4
SPEAKER_02
I ve been on antibiotics in my life.
4
SPEAKER_02
Not frequently.
4
SPEAKER_00
Right.
4
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I haven t been on one in a while.
4
SPEAKER_00
But when Lauren took that.
4
SPEAKER_00
Right.
4
SPEAKER_00
And we ll we ll tell the story first and we ll do the protocol after now.
4
SPEAKER_00
They did a study and they basically did they did microbiome tests, stool sample tests on this whole group of people in the hospital before they went on an antibiotic.
4
SPEAKER_00
They took the antibiotic, they went home, and then they followed them for a period of six months.
4
SPEAKER_00
What the study found was once they took the antibiotic, during the antibiotic, they rechecked the gut and they found perturbations in the gut wall.
4
SPEAKER_00
So they found leaky gut, which we all know is one of the worst things, cause of all disease, because now becomes this free passageway of things like undigested protein, inflammatory fats, yeast, fungus, mold, viral pathogens, stealth pathogens that go into the blood.
4
SPEAKER_00
Now they become systemic, they attack the body.
4
SPEAKER_00
So that s what leaky gut is.
4
SPEAKER_00
and the whole goal is to basically close that leaky gut so that infiltration can t happen.
4
SPEAKER_00
So they follow these people around and what they found
5
SPEAKER_00
was that they had perturbations in the gut when they took the antibiotic and the perturbations or the leaky gut lasted up to six months when they actually stopped the study.
5
SPEAKER_00
So the leaky gut was there the entire time.
5
SPEAKER_00
We knew that, right?
5
SPEAKER_00
We know that the antibiotics cause leaky gut.
5
SPEAKER_00
What we didn t know was that the person living in the same household, same environment, had the same exact changes in their gut wall.
5
SPEAKER_01
Oh, you re fucked.
5
SPEAKER_01
You re over here giving me leaky gut, Lauren.
5
SPEAKER_00
Well, think about this.
5
SPEAKER_01
You give me stuff all
5
SPEAKER_00
We are all made of bacteria and when you take an antibiotic, your body starts to shed.
5
SPEAKER_00
So all day long in our house environment, which is actually more toxic than the external environment, we are shedding bacteria as much as we re taking in.
5
SPEAKER_00
But when we take an antibiotic, you re shedding dysfunctional bacteria.
5
SPEAKER_00
And the problem is, is that when you re in the bathroom,
5
SPEAKER_00
This is why you want to close the lid right, right after you go and you flush that toilet.
5
SPEAKER_00
Literally, it becomes auralized.
5
SPEAKER_00
So you re getting like thousands and thousands and thousands of these poop particles.
5
SPEAKER_00
You re putting poop particles in me and getting me to fucking leave you alone?
5
SPEAKER_01
What about if you have sex then too?
5
SPEAKER_00
Well, I don t think that s as bad.
5
SPEAKER_01
The particles are like all over you.
5
SPEAKER_00
But but here s my mouth.
5
SPEAKER_00
But but here s what s here s what s crazy.
5
SPEAKER_00
It gets up into the vents.
5
SPEAKER_00
It gets to the toothbrush.
5
SPEAKER_00
Make sure your toothbrush is covered.
5
SPEAKER_00
Your toothbrush.
5
SPEAKER_00
You never want to eat in the bathroom.
5
SPEAKER_00
So what s the message of this?
5
SPEAKER_00
We all share each other s poop.
5
SPEAKER_00
So you better you better love the people that we were going to get two separate houses.
5
SPEAKER_00
Well, you could do that, too.
5
SPEAKER_00
So my message with that is that we both got to do.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know what I love?
5
SPEAKER_01
Does that mean our kids have to, too?
5
SPEAKER_00
Yes, but you know what?
5
SPEAKER_00
They re not gonna be as damaged as us because they re younger, they re stronger, but we can do this with them.
5
SPEAKER_00
If they re, your kids are a little bit younger.
5
SPEAKER_00
I mean, under four, I wouldn t bother doing it, but what I would put them on is a form of like L-glutamine, which is great for a leaky gut.
5
SPEAKER_00
I take L-glutamine every day.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it s a great kids product I use for the kids.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s called Glugenics.
5
SPEAKER_00
So it s like a more children friendly version of that.
5
SPEAKER_00
But like after four years old, then I ll put them on a leaky gut protocol.
5
SPEAKER_00
So here s the protocol.
5
SPEAKER_00
Going back to our good friend sovereign silver, right?
5
SPEAKER_00
So you re gonna take one tablespoon of the sovereign silver, which is the ingredient bioactive silver hydrosol.
5
SPEAKER_00
Morning or night, it doesn t matter?
5
SPEAKER_00
Three times a day, right?
5
SPEAKER_00
And on an empty stomach.
5
SPEAKER_00
And it s really easy to do.
5
SPEAKER_00
One tablespoon of the sovereign silver, combine that with one tablespoon of liquid aloe vera.
5
SPEAKER_00
The ones I go to would be like a Georgia s Aloe or Lily of the Valley.
5
SPEAKER_00
Georgia s Aloe is my favorite.
5
SPEAKER_00
They both taste like water.
5
SPEAKER_00
They re really not bad at all.
5
SPEAKER_00
So one tablespoon of each, you combine them together.
5
SPEAKER_00
You drink that on an empty stomach.
5
SPEAKER_00
What s an empty stomach?
5
SPEAKER_00
You need at least 30 minutes clearance time before a meal, 90 minutes clearance time after a meal with no food, right?
5
SPEAKER_00
You do that three times a day for two weeks.
5
SPEAKER_00
So what happens is the aloe comes in, it s protecting silver past the harsh terrain in the stomach, which is the stomach acid.
5
SPEAKER_00
We talked about why that s so important.
5
SPEAKER_00
And once it goes into the gut, now what the aloe does is it helps to heal and seal the leaky gut, but it also releases the silver, which now we know is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal.
5
SPEAKER_00
We talked about that.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s going to kill the pathogens in there.
5
SPEAKER_00
that are now taking over from what happened from the antibiotic.
5
SPEAKER_00
Because again, the antibiotic was a napalm bomb.
5
SPEAKER_00
Now you get things like candida and other fungal infections that start to basically overtake.
5
SPEAKER_00
Because these pathogens, they re really smart.
5
SPEAKER_00
They re like, they re sitting there under the radar and they re like waiting.
5
SPEAKER_00
They re sensing and they re looking at your stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and they re fine.
5
SPEAKER_00
But the second they see that these stress hormones go over the top, they re like, all right guys, this is our turn, let s go.
5
SPEAKER_00
And they basically turn on their violence nature of their genes and they start to attack.
5
SPEAKER_00
So ultimately, when the gut is balanced, they re not strong enough to handle the strength of our immune systems, but when we have stress or we re eating stress-eating foods, for whatever reason, we have to take an antibiotic, Lauren, and sometimes we do, right?
5
SPEAKER_00
You had to take it.
5
SPEAKER_00
But now we have this leaky gut protocol that you do immediately after to basically heal that gut in two weeks when normally that gut is done for at least two years.
5
SPEAKER_01
So can, if someone has kids, when is this appropriate to do if the kid is on an antibiotic?
5
SPEAKER_01
Cause that was the question I got asked a lot is can you do this with your kids?
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, you definitely could do it with the kids, but just lower dose.
5
SPEAKER_00
So all depends on the age and the dosing.
5
SPEAKER_00
So like I would, instead of doing like a tablespoon, if, if a kid was like five or six, like when Aaliyah six years old, I would do half of a teaspoon instead.
5
SPEAKER_02
this is what I was asking you about towns because he was so young, but I was like, okay, we re going to do a protocol, but it s going to be for a kid that young, right.
5
SPEAKER_02
Be challenging maybe.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_00
And here s the thing that he would need much less because he has much less insult to his gut microbiome and just being exposed to that for one day for the first time.
5
SPEAKER_00
So that s when we would bring in something like molecular hydrogen, which is amazing because what I love about hydrogen water, which I m a huge fan of, it s the,
5
SPEAKER_00
Everyone s like, when you take an antibiotic, what do they say?
5
SPEAKER_00
Take a probiotic.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yes, you should take a probiotic, right?
5
SPEAKER_00
Pro means for life.
5
SPEAKER_00
Antibiotic means against life.
5
SPEAKER_00
You need the probiotics.
5
SPEAKER_00
But what I love about the hydrogen water is it s the only therapeutic agent that can actually build up the anaerobic microflora in your gut faster than the antibiotic can take it down.
5
SPEAKER_00
So this is why I love hydrogen water.
5
SPEAKER_00
And you guys had them with you in Italy.
5
SPEAKER_00
You traveled with them.
5
SPEAKER_02
Well, you know what I was gonna tell you?
5
SPEAKER_02
If you would have talked to me eight years ago, who knows, probably just wake up, slam a coffee, run out the door.
5
SPEAKER_02
But now my water regimen in the morning is really crazy.
5
SPEAKER_02
Wake up, first thing I do is a molecular hydrogen.
5
SPEAKER_02
That s the first thing I have.
5
SPEAKER_02
Then I have a big water with greens and L-glutamine, and sometimes I take a little creatine if I m working out, and minerals.
5
SPEAKER_01
Then you annoy me by pounding around the kitchen and being too loud and turning the lights on.
5
SPEAKER_01
Go on.
5
SPEAKER_02
But anyways, the point is, is like a lot of people, like they re hearing this, oh, there s a lot to implement.
5
SPEAKER_02
This water routine for me is just what I do each day now.
5
SPEAKER_02
And it s normal.
5
SPEAKER_02
And it takes me no more than like five to seven minutes.
5
SPEAKER_02
And I start the day completely mineralized greens, the hydrogen, super, you know, hydrated, obviously.
5
SPEAKER_02
Right on.
5
SPEAKER_02
And like, I feel way better than I don t have a coffee until like maybe 90 minutes into my day.
5
SPEAKER_01
Do you know that with one coffee you have to do five cups of water?
5
SPEAKER_01
I read.
5
SPEAKER_00
20 cups of water unless it s acid kicking.
5
SPEAKER_01
So that s how I put my acid.
5
SPEAKER_00
You got it.
5
SPEAKER_00
You got to kick your coffee s acid.
5
SPEAKER_01
Just like my little, my little pack of acid kicking.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s a tiny little, I talk about this on my Instagram story all the time.
5
SPEAKER_01
It s a little black pack of get off my assets.
5
SPEAKER_01
I put it in my coffee.
5
SPEAKER_01
I do raw milk.
5
SPEAKER_01
I love milk.
5
SPEAKER_01
People hate me on the internet for saying it raw milk for life.
5
SPEAKER_00
They don t understand it.
5
SPEAKER_00
Are you using raw?
5
SPEAKER_00
Are you using raw goats, sheeps, cows, raw cow milk from the farmer s market?
5
SPEAKER_00
Listen, the major problem with milk and why people become so reactive to it is not so much the milk itself, though there are better forms of milk, like goats, milk, sheep s milk, camel s milk, more closely rep mimics.
5
SPEAKER_01
You want me to milk a camel?
5
SPEAKER_00
I don t know that I could add that.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know what?
5
SPEAKER_00
When we were in New York City, we actually found raw camel s milk.
5
SPEAKER_00
Now, Chelsea breastfed.
5
SPEAKER_00
Thankfully, she was able to do it.
5
SPEAKER_00
And there are some exceptions to the rule where you can t.
5
SPEAKER_00
And that s why these things can come in handy.
5
SPEAKER_00
So it was crazy, guys.
5
SPEAKER_00
I would really have to go to like the sidewalk in New York City, like at like six in the morning on a Saturday.
5
SPEAKER_00
It was like a total like black market thing.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know what?
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, I felt like a doctor.
5
SPEAKER_01
Daryl needs to go off on.
5
SPEAKER_02
Hold on, guys.
5
SPEAKER_02
Real quick.
5
SPEAKER_02
We had them all for a while we had the audience they were with us then we got in the camel s milk and i feel like we lost what the fuck are you guys i just a camel s.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s simple because the problem with the milk is what they do to the milk.
5
SPEAKER_00
They pasteurize it and they homogenize it and they kill anything that was beneficial in that milk.
5
SPEAKER_00
And that s the problem.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, when you pasteurize it, you re killing off the enzyme.
5
SPEAKER_00
So there are people that have issues with lactose, right?
5
SPEAKER_00
But the problem is, is that the whole process of pasteurization homogenization is killing the enzyme lactase that helps them actually break down the lactose sugar in the first place.
5
SPEAKER_00
So a lot of people will go on the raw milk and they ll find that they re actually okay with it.
5
SPEAKER_00
So raw milk does have some beneficial components to it.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s not something that I do.
5
SPEAKER_00
I love grass fed butter.
5
SPEAKER_00
That s something that we do use.
5
SPEAKER_00
We use unsweetened almond milk.
5
SPEAKER_00
So that s the kind that we use.
5
SPEAKER_00
But again, people that choose to do the raw version of this, it s actually quite healthy for the body.
5
SPEAKER_00
It is.
5
SPEAKER_01
I found out I was sensitive to almonds and then I found out what they spray almonds with, which is like disgusting.
5
SPEAKER_01
They spray almonds with like so many pesticides.
5
SPEAKER_01
And so I was like, I m going to try raw milk.
5
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
5
SPEAKER_00
And you got to you got to get almonds from a roadside stand.
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, you ve got to be very I mean, there s places you can order them, not like, you know, I m not there s no roadside stand in Florida, but like there s places in California.
5
SPEAKER_00
But, Michael, back to what you were saying before is like people think you re crazy, like that s too hard to do.
5
SPEAKER_00
No, it s only too hard to do if you tell yourself it s too hard to do.
5
SPEAKER_00
What s the alternative?
5
SPEAKER_00
Like waiting for me to break down and get sick with some kind of crazy chronic degenerative disease that the research shows most people are going to get.
5
SPEAKER_02
Here s not worth it of everything now.
5
SPEAKER_02
Everything is hard to do.
5
SPEAKER_02
I mean, literally everything is hard to do these days.
5
SPEAKER_02
But the thing is, you need to do the hard things so that later they re not harder.
5
SPEAKER_02
I ll give you a perfect example.
6
SPEAKER_01
If you decide not to take care of your body and you don t go to the gym and you don t work out and you don t eat right and you do all these things because they re quote-unquote hard, as you age later in life and your body becomes decrepit or dysfunctional and you become unhealthy and sick or have to fight some life-threatening illness, that is much harder and is going to be much harder and potentially is going to kill you.
6
SPEAKER_01
So the trade-off is like, and humans are not good at this, we re not good at delayed gratification.
6
SPEAKER_01
People will say, I don t, I don t have time or it s hard to do the workout or hard to eat right.
6
SPEAKER_01
But they re not factoring in that they are going to get to a point in their life if they don t do these things.
6
SPEAKER_01
And that is going to be much harder and potentially not fixable.
6
SPEAKER_01
Right.
6
SPEAKER_01
So there s a saying about it that way.
6
SPEAKER_02
There s a saying that the healthy person has a thousand dreams.
6
SPEAKER_02
The sick person has one dream.
6
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_01
To live, right?
6
SPEAKER_02
To live and to get healthy.
6
SPEAKER_02
And listen, there was a point where I was at such a bottomless pit with the mold toxicity where I didn t think I was going to actually grow up to see my children become adults and go through this thing.
6
SPEAKER_02
And when that happens, man, you just hit a new point in your life where you just surrender to God.
6
SPEAKER_02
and you just, you re willing to do whatever it takes.
6
SPEAKER_02
I m a healthy guy, right?
6
SPEAKER_02
But you re willing to do whatever it takes.
6
SPEAKER_02
So if you look at my bag in the hotel, like you should see what I bring.
6
SPEAKER_02
Like you should see the amount of supplements and biohacking equipment.
6
SPEAKER_02
Like, you know, it s like I have a two week bag.
6
SPEAKER_02
So one half is the clothes.
6
SPEAKER_02
The other half is like all supplements.
6
SPEAKER_02
I got my brain tap.
6
SPEAKER_02
I got my heart math, my biohacking stuff.
6
SPEAKER_02
And like, this is what I travel with because when I travel, I need to keep it going.
6
SPEAKER_02
So for me, it s about biological age versus chronological age.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s like, I m 48.
6
SPEAKER_02
I just tested my biological age five days ago.
6
SPEAKER_02
I was 35.
6
SPEAKER_02
And what that means is that the lifestyle choices that I m choosing now, it always wasn t this way.
6
SPEAKER_02
There was times that the biological age was actually, I was aging faster than my true age or the clock says it s supposed to.
6
SPEAKER_02
But this is why we have to do what we re talking about, because what s the alternative?
6
SPEAKER_01
No, the alternative is, so a few years ago, like three or four years ago, when we first moved here, I was having all of this crazy back pain to the point where I couldn t walk some days, it was debilitating.
6
SPEAKER_01
At the time, I was like 33, 34, 35.
6
SPEAKER_01
But I thought to myself, it is not normal for a 34-year-old man to have debilitating back pain where he can t walk and has to sit down spasming out.
6
SPEAKER_01
The reason was, is that I wasn t taking care of my muscles and my hamstrings.
6
SPEAKER_01
I wasn t in the gym.
6
SPEAKER_01
Listen, my version of the pain manifested.
6
SPEAKER_01
my back because of probably my sitting patterns and all sorts of stuff.
6
SPEAKER_01
But all I could think about during that time is, man, I wish I focused on taking care of this muscle strength in the gym, because I would have done anything.
6
SPEAKER_01
And so anyways, the next three years, I ve had zero back problems.
6
SPEAKER_01
And so whenever I talk to people, I m going to be using this example.
6
SPEAKER_01
If you are a young person that is supposed to be healthy and you re having
6
SPEAKER_01
these chronic issues or back issues or stability issues, gut issues, that is not normal.
6
SPEAKER_01
There s things you re supposed to be doing to combat those things.
6
SPEAKER_01
What your body is telling you is like, hey, you need to do these things to get healthy and fix yourself.
6
SPEAKER_01
Because if I would have just carried on and carried on, who knows what happens to me later?
6
SPEAKER_01
Maybe you lose walking function.
6
SPEAKER_01
Maybe you re in chronic pain all the time.
6
SPEAKER_01
The point is like, it s hard to get in the gym and fix it, but now I have zero issues and I fix it having to put in extra time, but I didn t want to suffer later in life.
6
SPEAKER_02
Change is easy.
6
SPEAKER_02
Thinking about change is hard.
6
SPEAKER_02
You know, if someone wakes up with like a toothache, you know, that s their, that s their model.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s like, don t wait for the toothache to start brushing, flossing, which is self-care.
6
SPEAKER_02
Go to the hygienist, which is healthcare.
6
SPEAKER_02
Someone does something for you.
6
SPEAKER_02
Um, the more of those things you do, then you drew, then you don t have to get to that point where your teeth are going to actually fall out or rot away.
6
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, your body gives you the signals to tell you something is not normal.
6
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, again, deficiency and toxicity.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s like those two things.
6
SPEAKER_02
We have to be proactive about it.
6
SPEAKER_02
And unfortunately, most people wait until the sledgehammer hits them to start actually making a radical change in their health.
6
SPEAKER_02
And I get that when you re younger.
6
SPEAKER_02
When I was 20, like, I didn t care about health.
6
SPEAKER_02
Like, you know, I should have.
6
SPEAKER_02
because my life would have been different.
6
SPEAKER_02
I was massively addicted to sugar.
6
SPEAKER_02
I should have known better, but it took some pain for me to kind of get to that point.
6
SPEAKER_01
The other argument I think sometimes in the pushback we get on this show is like all these things we re talking about are expensive, but, and listen, maybe you are like really stretched your finances and some of the stuff.
6
SPEAKER_01
So maybe you pick one, like, I don t know, like the molecular hydrogen, if you could get a month supply of that, try it.
6
SPEAKER_01
Minerals.
6
SPEAKER_01
Minerals.
6
SPEAKER_02
What are the first two things we said?
6
SPEAKER_02
We talked about drinking water and breathing.
6
SPEAKER_02
They re free.
6
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_02
For like, if we just did those two little things, I m telling you, you would have a drastic change in terms of how you feel.
6
SPEAKER_01
But what people, you know, at least the friends in my life that I ve talked to that say things are too expensive, I say, let me see your bar bill for the weekend.
6
SPEAKER_02
There you go.
6
SPEAKER_01
Let me see what you re dining out on.
6
SPEAKER_01
Let me see what you re spending when you go out with your friends.
6
SPEAKER_01
Listen, drinks these days are what, 25 bucks a penny or like taxes and tip and all that, 20 bucks, everything you tip, everything these days.
6
SPEAKER_01
But my point is like,
6
SPEAKER_01
Instead of taking that 20 bucks for the drinks at the bar, maybe have one less and invest in a digestive or invest in a probiotic or invest in the minerals.
6
SPEAKER_02
What s going to be the most important impact if I had to pick one thing that you can do to basically help your health?
6
SPEAKER_02
And then you pick that one thing.
6
SPEAKER_02
It doesn t have to be everything.
6
SPEAKER_00
What is it?
6
SPEAKER_00
One thing if they had to spend money on?
6
SPEAKER_02
If they had to spend money on one thing, it depends on really what their situation is.
6
SPEAKER_02
Got it.
6
SPEAKER_02
So it could be a specific test, it could be a specific supplement.
6
SPEAKER_02
It s different for everyone.
6
SPEAKER_02
I would say like the biggest deficiency, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids, right?
6
SPEAKER_02
But I think that s a very important point.
6
SPEAKER_02
And the other thing is like, yeah, there are challenging times right now.
6
SPEAKER_02
We have to think about better ways because a lot of people, it is hard to basically get by.
6
SPEAKER_02
So like go to local farmers markets, like it s a much,
6
SPEAKER_02
more cost effective way to get healthy foods and learn about some amazing things.
6
SPEAKER_02
So there are ways to do this without it really hitting the wallet.
6
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_01
I just think that we rationalize spending on some things that we know are not good, but we re like, Oh, that s just normal.
6
SPEAKER_01
Just what it costs.
6
SPEAKER_01
So you do it.
6
SPEAKER_01
And then when it comes to this kind of stuff, taking care, I mean, I think once you start really getting into the wellness world and the path, like it s, then you re kind of like in it.
6
SPEAKER_01
Like I can imagine living another way now.
6
SPEAKER_01
But when you re starting out and you re a little bit resistant, it s hard to justify, oh, I m going to make that investment of time.
6
SPEAKER_01
I m going to make that investment of effort.
6
SPEAKER_01
I m going to make that financial investment into eating better, living better.
6
SPEAKER_02
They haven t hit a pain point, but you ll hit a pain point if you get heart disease, a stroke, an aneurysm, cancer, Alzheimer s.
6
SPEAKER_02
Alzheimer s is going to bankrupt this country, by the way.
6
SPEAKER_02
So when you get a chronic degenerative disease like that, diabetes, metabolic syndrome,
6
SPEAKER_02
then you realize really how expensive it becomes.
6
SPEAKER_01
And for the young people listening, I just want everyone to know, I thought nothing could ever go wrong with me until I passed 30.
6
SPEAKER_02
Yes.
6
SPEAKER_01
Under 30, you re like living on.
6
SPEAKER_01
Invincible.
6
SPEAKER_02
I can do whatever I want.
6
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
6
SPEAKER_01
I mean, if I smell alcohol now, I m hung over for a month.
6
SPEAKER_01
Like it s like, it s just, things just change.
6
SPEAKER_01
I hate to tell you, we have young siblings and I m like, guys, just, you know, once you get past 30, you re going to see your body s not going to do the same thing it did at 22.
6
SPEAKER_00
Did you know?
6
SPEAKER_00
Water is good for you, but it s actually not so great for your hair.
6
SPEAKER_00
The calcium in our shower water is amplifying the damage that we all have in our hair from coloring and other salon services.
6
SPEAKER_00
And when I decided to change my hair from blonde to brunette, I obviously picked everyone s favorite, Kerastase.
6
SPEAKER_00
Kerastase is absolutely amazing.
6
SPEAKER_00
So it s this luxury professional haircare line.
6
SPEAKER_00
You all probably recognize it from the nicest, most luxurious salons.
6
SPEAKER_00
And Kerastase has finally come out with the solution for damaged hair.
6
SPEAKER_00
The new Premier Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment.
6
SPEAKER_00
Basically, what this did for my hair is it took my hair from a brittle blonde to a more thicker, more luscious, more shinier brunette.
6
SPEAKER_00
And I noticed it immediately.
6
SPEAKER_00
It s one of those products that you literally will put on your hair, take a shower, get out, blow dry your hair, and notice it right away.
6
SPEAKER_00
So the collection features six different products and an in-salon treatment.
6
SPEAKER_00
They all really hit the basis to remove the calcium buildup accumulating in our hair while also repairing it.
6
SPEAKER_00
So we re multitasking over here.
6
SPEAKER_00
If you ve tried everything to repair your damaged tear, trust me and try Premier.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02
I have to ask you about your viral internal shower and caveat it with people are saying chia seeds are bad for you now.
7
SPEAKER_02
So go off on that and go off on the internal shower.
7
SPEAKER_02
And I heard from a little bird that there s an internal shower 2.0.
7
SPEAKER_02
Even bigger and better.
7
SPEAKER_00
Can t wait to tell you about that one.
7
SPEAKER_02
And Michael, don t get excited.
7
SPEAKER_02
It s not what you think it is.
7
SPEAKER_00
Oh, it s awesome.
7
SPEAKER_00
I mean, listen, this, it went wild last year and I was actually excited because finally there s a trend on TikTok that s actually helping people.
7
SPEAKER_00
So many people healed their, their bloating, um, their constipation.
7
SPEAKER_00
I mean, 42 million Americans guys are suffering with constipation.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s crazy.
7
SPEAKER_00
Why?
7
SPEAKER_00
Cause we re not getting enough fiber.
7
SPEAKER_00
Only 5% of us are getting the amount of fiber that we need in a day, which is 25 to 35 grams.
7
SPEAKER_00
I think that number should be up in the 50 gram number, but why the internal shower is so great.
7
SPEAKER_00
And by the way,
7
SPEAKER_00
Where s the source coming from?
7
SPEAKER_00
It s like when someone says she is not healthy.
7
SPEAKER_00
I m like, OK, well, tell me where they ll say, well, I heard that.
7
SPEAKER_00
Well, who d you hear that from?
7
SPEAKER_00
You keep following the question and it comes to, I don t know.
7
SPEAKER_00
Right.
7
SPEAKER_02
I can tell you where I heard it.
7
SPEAKER_02
You can tell Dr. Stephen Gundry.
7
SPEAKER_00
OK, he s talking about lectins.
7
SPEAKER_00
Yep.
7
SPEAKER_00
And I love Stephen Gundry.
7
SPEAKER_00
I had him on my sugar summit.
7
SPEAKER_00
I have so much respect for him.
7
SPEAKER_00
But.
7
SPEAKER_00
you just need to soak the chia seeds and that denatures the anti-nutrients in the chia seeds.
7
SPEAKER_00
And that s what part of the internal shower shot is.
7
SPEAKER_00
But look, chia seeds was an ancient superfood.
7
SPEAKER_00
I mean, you go back to like the Aztecs, they were putting this in water before they went into battle because they wanted stamina.
7
SPEAKER_00
They wanted to be able to win that war, that battle, and it gave them energy.
7
SPEAKER_00
I mean, these people could actually chase down deer like a hundred miles and they did.
7
SPEAKER_00
They use chia, right?
7
SPEAKER_00
Why?
7
SPEAKER_00
Because it s got such a powerful dynamic to its components.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s 50% omega-3 fatty acids.
7
SPEAKER_00
So that s gonna give you energy.
7
SPEAKER_00
That s gonna down regulate inflammation in your brain and your body and your cardiovascular system.
7
SPEAKER_00
20% protein.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s high in minerals like magnesium, potassium.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s high in fiber.
7
SPEAKER_00
I mean, all the macros that I would want similar to like avocado is in this superfood.
7
SPEAKER_00
Now,
7
SPEAKER_00
What we know is that when you put that in water, it has this hydrophilic nature.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s gonna actually expand up to 27 times its size and weight.
7
SPEAKER_00
And now when you drink that on an empty stomach combined with of course, six ounces of water, lemon slice, and a little bit of Himalayan salt or real salt, because the minerals are really good for the gut too.
7
SPEAKER_00
that goes into all the nooks and crannies of your gut, which has a surface area of a tennis court.
7
SPEAKER_00
And basically what it s doing is it s helping you to gently cleanse and detoxify all the crap that s in there, right?
7
SPEAKER_02
Michael s going straight for the chia seeds when we get home.
7
SPEAKER_00
I m going to send him a picture.
7
SPEAKER_00
Does your gut really have a surface area of a tennis court?
7
SPEAKER_00
It does.
7
SPEAKER_00
And the average American has five to 15 pounds of impacted fecal matter in their gut.
7
SPEAKER_00
And they re literally choking on their own exhaust.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s auto toxicity.
7
SPEAKER_00
They re choking on their own fumes.
7
SPEAKER_02
So we need to do the internal shower to get rid of that.
7
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, you need to do the internal shower.
7
SPEAKER_00
And by the way, you go on TikTok, you just like hashtag that.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s like 147 million, like it s amazing.
7
SPEAKER_00
Everyone getting like amazing benefits.
7
SPEAKER_00
So I recently came out with the internal shower 2.0, and here s the cool thing about it.
7
SPEAKER_00
Same like effects with helping you get rid of bloating, constipation, but it s just three ingredients and a blender.
7
SPEAKER_00
You don t even need to add a liquid.
7
SPEAKER_00
And it can also serve as a replacement meal, because it s also a smoothie.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s a healing tonic.
7
SPEAKER_00
So you re gonna get one peeled grapefruit,
7
SPEAKER_00
one peeled cucumber, half of a bunch of cilantro.
7
SPEAKER_00
Those are the three ingredients.
7
SPEAKER_00
Now, if there are any cilantro haters out there, you guys like cilantro or hate it?
7
SPEAKER_02
I like cilantro.
7
SPEAKER_02
It kills heavy metal.
7
SPEAKER_01
We grew up in Southern California.
7
SPEAKER_00
If you like cilantro, you love it.
7
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, you cannot like it.
7
SPEAKER_00
So if you hate it, you can swap that for mint.
7
SPEAKER_00
And what you re going to do is you peel them.
7
SPEAKER_00
I would chop the grapefruit in fours, put the grapefruit in the blender first because it s high water.
7
SPEAKER_00
You want that at the bottom.
7
SPEAKER_00
And then you put the cucumbers, you ll peel it, chop it in four on top of the grapefruit and then your cilantro last.
7
SPEAKER_00
You blend that on high speed, you ll get this nice, thick, creamy, yummy shake.
7
SPEAKER_00
It smells like health.
7
SPEAKER_00
It is so awesome.
7
SPEAKER_00
And you drink that on an empty stomach and it does the same effect, but it does so much more because the grapefruit has four grams of fiber.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s going to help build up your your powerful intestinal microflora, the good guys.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s also high in minerals, so it s gonna neutralize the acid and toxins in your gut.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s low in sugar.
7
SPEAKER_00
Cucumbers are great.
7
SPEAKER_00
Again, high water content fruit.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s a coolant to your stomach.
7
SPEAKER_00
And again, with all that hydration, it s gonna soften up the stools so you can go to the bathroom better.
7
SPEAKER_00
That s how it helps constipation.
7
SPEAKER_00
Cilantro, it s a heavy metal chelator.
7
SPEAKER_00
It helps gas, indigestion, bloating, acid reflux.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s also a binder.
7
SPEAKER_00
So, so many people have heavy metals in their body.
7
SPEAKER_00
serious ones like cadmium and lead and arsenic.
7
SPEAKER_00
So it literally binds to that and eliminates it out of the body and also binds to other stealth pathogens in the gut.
7
SPEAKER_00
And if you swap it for mint, mint is great.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s a powerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory.
7
SPEAKER_00
So it s basically just lowering massive amounts of inflammation in your gut and it feels so good.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s not going to be like, I m running to the bathroom.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s not like that.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s a gentle detox.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s a gentle cleanse.
7
SPEAKER_00
You could drink this daily.
7
SPEAKER_00
I make extra of it and I ll put the others in the airtight container because it can last in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
7
SPEAKER_00
But this one is amazing.
7
SPEAKER_00
I love it.
7
SPEAKER_00
And I do it nearly every day.
7
SPEAKER_00
And I feel so awesome.
7
SPEAKER_01
Cucumbers are fruit, right?
7
SPEAKER_01
It is because the seeds.
7
SPEAKER_02
What do you think about Ozempic?
7
SPEAKER_02
I had to ask you that.
7
SPEAKER_02
No, that s a plot twist.
7
SPEAKER_02
I think that you deal with a lot of very powerful
7
SPEAKER_02
housewives.
7
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
7
SPEAKER_02
And I think a lot of people are on Ozempic and I want to know a doctor s take on it.
7
SPEAKER_02
I ve been asking all the doctors.
7
SPEAKER_02
I think a lot of people are curious about it.
7
SPEAKER_02
Go off.
7
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s a type two diabetic drug.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s not meant for weight loss.
7
SPEAKER_00
It was cleared by the FDA for type two diabetes, not for weight loss.
7
SPEAKER_00
Now,
7
SPEAKER_00
It s very appealing to so many people.
7
SPEAKER_00
Why?
7
SPEAKER_00
Because it s convenient.
7
SPEAKER_00
All I could do is one shot on my ass once a week and here we go.
7
SPEAKER_00
I m going to start to lose weight.
7
SPEAKER_00
But the problem is that you ve got to be on that for the rest of your life to sustain the weight loss.
7
SPEAKER_00
The challenge is number one, it s extremely toxic.
7
SPEAKER_00
It causes paralysis of the stomach.
7
SPEAKER_00
It delays the actual digesting of your food.
7
SPEAKER_00
It causes loose stools, diarrhea.
7
SPEAKER_00
I ve had clients come to me on that.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s a very toxic drug.
7
SPEAKER_00
So now your body s got to deal with the toxic effects of that.
7
SPEAKER_00
But the biggest issue is that
7
SPEAKER_00
You re not addressing the reasons why the body needs to lose weight in the first place.
7
SPEAKER_00
You re not addressing lifestyle.
7
SPEAKER_00
You re not addressing diet.
7
SPEAKER_00
You re not addressing what deficiencies I have.
7
SPEAKER_00
The inflammation, you know, some friends that did this in Florida and you know, they were on it for a couple of months and they re like all happy and they re smiling and it was great.
7
SPEAKER_00
You know, they re losing weight and then they had to come off of it because it s so toxic.
7
SPEAKER_00
And what happens?
7
SPEAKER_00
They gained the weight right back.
7
SPEAKER_00
It actually came back, not just the regular way, but more weight.
7
SPEAKER_00
Why was that?
7
SPEAKER_00
Because now it was a mental game.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s like, they felt defeated.
7
SPEAKER_00
I lost, they started beating themselves up and they just kind of went off the rails and the sugar and the carbs.
7
SPEAKER_00
If someone wants to do this, like I had a client that was on my program and she s kicking acid.
7
SPEAKER_00
She s doing really great.
7
SPEAKER_00
And she was a celebrity, had to go to Europe to do a big spot and she had to lose like five pounds.
7
SPEAKER_00
She s like, Dr. D can I do this for one, one, one week.
7
SPEAKER_00
She knew why she was doing it.
7
SPEAKER_00
She was going to get off it right away.
7
SPEAKER_00
Like that wasn t a big deal.
7
SPEAKER_00
I still like wouldn t be my first course of action.
7
SPEAKER_00
I gave her my three-day detox, my three-day gut detox.
7
SPEAKER_00
She did that.
7
SPEAKER_00
She lost the weight.
7
SPEAKER_00
She didn t need the shot.
7
SPEAKER_00
So my whole approach is let s get to the root cause of why we gain weight in the first place.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s insulin resistance.
7
SPEAKER_00
It s a stress eating diet, too much sugar, too many crappy carbs, inflammation.
7
SPEAKER_00
So we have to really get the right foods into the body.
7
SPEAKER_00
We have to detoxify, get the right supplements, move our body, start to get some exercise.
7
SPEAKER_00
And what happens is the body s going to lose the weight on its own and do it in a way that s healthy, sustainable.
7
SPEAKER_00
That s what it should be about.
7
SPEAKER_01
My perspective on this has some, I don t know if I ve told them this is somewhat shifted a little bit in this topic.
7
SPEAKER_01
So what I would caveat that is say that if I could wave a magic wand and help somebody on their weight loss journey, the wand I would wave would be like, Hey, let s figure out like healthy eating habits and let s get the body moving in the gym and let s get you in a mental state where, you know, you re in a,
8
SPEAKER_02
you re in a health mindset where maybe you re not participating in behavior that you know to be detrimental to the body.
8
SPEAKER_02
But if I can t wave the magic wand, what I ve seen and where I ve – so again, I m not a fan of going to a similar zoo, but I ve seen some of the people we know that have had success with it where they have had and they know they ve had poor lifestyle choices and they haven t been taking care of their bodies and maybe they re carrying
8
SPEAKER_02
some kind of trauma that s creating some emotional eating and this is all stuff that s working against them.
8
SPEAKER_02
And by getting on this, it kind of helps them develop the healthy habits.
8
SPEAKER_02
Like, okay, now I can go in the gym because I m seeing some results.
8
SPEAKER_02
Now I m going to eat a little healthier because I see like what that s like.
8
SPEAKER_02
Oh, now my relationship with food is going to change because I realized like I don t need as much as I got motivation.
8
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_00
I m cool with that.
8
SPEAKER_00
You know, if you, if you have that intention, I think that s totally fine.
8
SPEAKER_00
You know, and I, and I never choose for them if,
8
SPEAKER_00
I ll basically tell them, you know, the reality of what choice they make, but if they want to do that because they want that kickstart to, because the big part of this game is emotional.
8
SPEAKER_00
You look at yesterday, January 17th, right?
8
SPEAKER_00
The research shows that 92%, 92% of people failed with their New Year s resolutions.
8
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
8
SPEAKER_02
But that s my, so then the second part of this is.
8
SPEAKER_02
The handful of people that I ve known that have done that and gotten that and stuck with those resolutions and changed their lifestyle and gotten to the better place after trying this is very small compared to the people that I ve seen that are just now, this is my new way of life.
8
SPEAKER_02
I m not eating properly.
8
SPEAKER_02
I m still not in the gym.
8
SPEAKER_02
This is just like the quick fix, quick habit.
8
SPEAKER_02
Those people I ve seen either gain it all back or struggle or have real issues and have to go see people like yourself.
8
SPEAKER_02
So I don t know.
8
SPEAKER_00
I mean, like, well, I love that.
8
SPEAKER_00
I love that.
8
SPEAKER_00
It s because health is really an emotional, mental thing, you know?
8
SPEAKER_00
So if that helps them get the motivation they need to go into that lifestyle and they know that that s what they re going to do, then I think that s OK.
8
SPEAKER_00
But you have to know that you just can t stay on that for an extended period of time.
8
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, I was hypocritical on this show in the beginning and like some people got upset about it because my gut reaction to if you re using any kind of foreign
8
SPEAKER_02
substance to try to do things that, in my personal opinion, you know you should be doing anyway.
8
SPEAKER_02
I m typically like, hey, let s do the more natural approach.
8
SPEAKER_02
But now that I ve seen some people have success, but I do think that if you give human beings an easy out for anything,
8
SPEAKER_02
that will give short-term success at the expense of long-term health or long-term success, we will always take, like the majority of time, you will always take that path of least resistance.
8
SPEAKER_02
And I don t think that you can set yourself up for long-term life success by taking the path of least resistance in any area.
8
SPEAKER_02
That s right.
8
SPEAKER_02
Any area.
8
SPEAKER_01
I agree.
8
SPEAKER_01
I want to hear about the foreign object that was found in your nose and how you re healing from that.
8
SPEAKER_00
Doesn t that sound lovely, right?
8
SPEAKER_01
That was wild, wild, wild.
8
SPEAKER_00
The body wasn t meant to have any foreign objects ever, especially when you don t know about them.
8
SPEAKER_00
All right.
8
SPEAKER_00
So we call them stealth.
8
SPEAKER_00
They re something that is affecting your body.
8
SPEAKER_00
That could be something like a mesh put in the body, a breast implant put in the body.
8
SPEAKER_00
And, you know, a lot of people that are women that have breast implants, they don t start to feel sick until five years down the road.
8
SPEAKER_00
You know, it doesn t have to rupture for that breast implant to leak.
8
SPEAKER_00
And the heavy metals is what leaks out of that.
8
SPEAKER_00
So there s things that can go in the body that are foreign to the body that the second they go in, the immune system is like, this is foreign, this is not biological to this body, we are gonna attack it 24 seven.
8
SPEAKER_00
And one of the biggest causes or one of the biggest symptoms that we see is fatigue, 44% of people, it s the first symptom that happens from a foreign object.
8
SPEAKER_00
So for the past year, you guys know me, I m crazy, I do everything.
8
SPEAKER_00
You know, strengthening diet, I take the right supplements based on what my testing shows I need.
8
SPEAKER_00
I biohack, I move my body with exercise.
8
SPEAKER_00
I m doing as many of the good things that I can, never perfect, but as much as possible.
8
SPEAKER_00
But the last year I was getting this like insane sinus infection on this left side.
8
SPEAKER_00
And no matter what I threw at it, I mean, I threw everything but the kitchen sink.
8
SPEAKER_00
No matter what I threw at it, I couldn t get this better.
8
SPEAKER_00
I even resorted, which I think is the last case resort to an antibiotic once because it was that bad.
8
SPEAKER_00
And that didn t even do the trick.
8
SPEAKER_00
So, you know, I m testing, I m trying to figure out what it is.
8
SPEAKER_00
And I had a CT scan and I found a massive deviated septum of my nose, which happened from an injury when I was playing soccer back at Boston College in my twenties.
8
SPEAKER_00
And what we were thinking was, is that deviated septum was causing a blockage in the left side for anything that was in there to drain out of there, right?
8
SPEAKER_00
And you have to understand that anything that s in the sinus, it s the same track that goes down to your gut.
8
SPEAKER_00
So most of this bacteria or fungus or mold, which I was exposed to in California, that s in the gut, it comes up into the sinus.
8
SPEAKER_00
95% of all bacteria or pathogens in the sinus come from the gut.
8
SPEAKER_00
It s a gut issue.
8
SPEAKER_00
But if there s a physical blockage there, it can t come out.
8
SPEAKER_00
So I got in touch with this doctor in New York City, really awesome guy.
8
SPEAKER_00
I get on the phone with him, he s reading my CT scan and he s like, you have a fungal sinusitis.
8
SPEAKER_00
I m like, how d you know I had exposure to mold?
8
SPEAKER_00
I m like, you knew nothing about my history.
8
SPEAKER_00
He s like, well, I can see it on your CT scan.
8
SPEAKER_00
Just like you do your testing with your clients with the guts, like you can pick it up like that.
8
SPEAKER_00
He goes, I can see it.
8
SPEAKER_00
So we re gonna come up to New York City, we re gonna fix the septum and then we ll go in there and we have to clean anything out.
8
SPEAKER_00
But once that septum is straightened, then the body should drain it and heal itself.
8
SPEAKER_00
So fast forward, August 17th of last year, 2023, I come out of surgery and lo and behold, I am like dazed and confused.
8
SPEAKER_00
I think they gave me too much anesthesia because it took me a while to come out of the anesthesia.
8
SPEAKER_00
And the first thing the doctor says is, we found a foreign object in your sinus on the left side.
8
SPEAKER_00
I m like, I thought I was in this like hallucinogenic dream.
8
SPEAKER_00
Didn t seem real.
8
SPEAKER_00
I m like, what are you talking about?
8
SPEAKER_00
Then he shows me the picture that I showed you guys, a three centimeter foreign object.
8
SPEAKER_00
And foreign means something exterior that was put into the body unknowingly.
8
SPEAKER_00
So some ENT was going up there.
8
SPEAKER_00
I ve seen a few of them over the years and with their scopes and somehow a little piece got left behind.
8
SPEAKER_00
And you would think, well, you can t feel that.
8
SPEAKER_00
you could feel that in the sinus if you palpate.
8
SPEAKER_00
And I can palpate, I m also a chiropractor, I can feel these things, but the sinus runs pretty deep.
8
SPEAKER_00
So it was about an inch and a half in.
8
SPEAKER_00
And when he went in there, it s the first thing they saw, they pulled that out, they stopped the surgery, they all start taking pictures.
8
SPEAKER_00
And thank God, my gut, you know, the divine message I got was to go see this guy in New York, not do it in Florida, because most of these doctors would not have gone in after they fixed the septum into the sinus to clean it out.
8
SPEAKER_00
They just would have fixed the septum and that s it, you re done.
8
SPEAKER_00
What he told me was if we didn t pull out that foreign object, not only would that have made you go blind, it would have caused brain damage.
8
SPEAKER_00
In fact, it was causing atrophy of the brain and it would have eventually killed you massively prematurely.
8
SPEAKER_00
So the lesson I got from that is number one,
8
SPEAKER_00
listen to your gut, listen to the Holy Spirit, whatever you call.
8
SPEAKER_00
And when something tells you, like something was telling me that there was something deeper in there.
8
SPEAKER_00
I couldn t know what it was because you couldn t see on the test.
8
SPEAKER_00
Test don t guess, we tested, but surround yourself around like a very, very good team of people that will lead you to the right thing.
8
SPEAKER_00
And I think that that was just a divine connection.
8
SPEAKER_00
I was pulled to that doctor.
8
SPEAKER_00
He took it out, cleaned out the inflammation and mold and bacteria that was in there.
8
SPEAKER_00
And here I am doing much, much better.
8
SPEAKER_00
But the brain fog that that was causing was literally brain debilitation.
8
SPEAKER_01
Michael looks like he s about to faint.
8
SPEAKER_00
But it just shows that like stealth pathogens and foreign objects, they happen.
8
SPEAKER_00
And it s not just a foreign object that we put into the body.
8
SPEAKER_00
It s also being exposed to a stealth pathogen from the foods that we eat, the air that we breathe, the water that we drink.
8
SPEAKER_00
And these things get into the gut and you don t know it s there.
8
SPEAKER_00
That s why, like, I m such an advocate.
8
SPEAKER_00
We all have to test our gut.
8
SPEAKER_00
This is the core of what I do.
8
SPEAKER_00
Why aren t all these doctors out here talking about it?
8
SPEAKER_00
When COVID happened, 80% of your immune system lives in the gut.
8
SPEAKER_00
Wouldn t it make common sense to start to look at the gut?
8
SPEAKER_00
Hippocrates said it s where all disease begins, but we re not.
8
SPEAKER_00
So my vision, my goal at some point is that this is going to be like a mainstream thing.
8
SPEAKER_00
We test our cholesterol, we test our blood pressure, we re testing our gut.
8
SPEAKER_02
And I think that anybody, this is just what I thought of you with what you went through.
8
SPEAKER_02
This is your third time on the show.
8
SPEAKER_02
I highly suggest for anyone that is not familiar with your
8
SPEAKER_02
episodes, if they haven t listened to episodes we ve been on before, you should go back and listen to those episodes.
8
SPEAKER_02
They re still relevant, still evergreen.
8
SPEAKER_02
We dive deep into gut health and gut issues.
8
SPEAKER_02
If you re just jumping into this one, I m like, man, these guys are really diving into gut.
8
SPEAKER_02
We break down a lot of these earlier conversations on your first appearance.
8
SPEAKER_00
And we talked about you with your gut test that we took you through.
8
SPEAKER_00
It was awesome.
8
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, his shit test where he shit in the back.
8
SPEAKER_01
Okay, before you go, tell us about this new product that you re launching.
8
SPEAKER_01
This is insane.
8
SPEAKER_01
They re alcohol, alcohol, alkaline drops.
8
SPEAKER_01
So you put five drops into whatever you re drinking each drink and it takes the acidity out of the alcohol, correct?
8
SPEAKER_00
Neutralizes all the acid before it even hits your, hits your lips because that s the problem.
8
SPEAKER_00
you know, calming down at the end of the day with a glass of wine or two or a bottle, right?
8
SPEAKER_00
It s like, it s like, okay, you re going to do that.
8
SPEAKER_00
So my first approach is like, let s take a moderation approach.
8
SPEAKER_00
Let s try to make the alcohol the best.
9
SPEAKER_02
version of itself.
9
SPEAKER_02
So if you re going to drink like stay away from beer, which is a fermented grain, it s the worst drink you can have.
9
SPEAKER_02
Wine is middle of the road, but wine is still 10,000 times more acidic than water.
9
SPEAKER_02
It s got a pH of 3.1 and it s also high in yeast.
9
SPEAKER_02
So that wouldn t be optimal.
9
SPEAKER_02
The best alcohols would be like a grain-free vodka, like a Chopin or a Ciroc, a tequila or a gin.
9
SPEAKER_02
And it s better because of the pH.
9
SPEAKER_02
But the bottom line is guys, all alcohol is acidic.
9
SPEAKER_02
All alcohol is acidic.
9
SPEAKER_02
Acid equals inflammation.
9
SPEAKER_02
And inflammation at the end of the day from the acid in the alcohol is what s draining you of the minerals that you need to perform every day mentally and physically.
9
SPEAKER_02
It s what s causing irritation to your gut, indigestion, bloating, that feeling like when you wake up the next day after drinking, the nausea.
9
SPEAKER_02
I m not talking about having like 15 drinks, even like two or three, like we re not in our 20s anymore, right?
9
SPEAKER_02
Causes headaches and hangovers.
9
SPEAKER_02
So I came out, I m thinking like the two times of days when we re most acidic is when we wake up and we have our coffee.
9
SPEAKER_02
That s when we came up with acid kicking coffee.
9
SPEAKER_02
The end of the day, when we wind down and have a drink, I m like, okay, we have to kick our alcohols acid.
9
SPEAKER_02
So it took me two years to create this.
9
SPEAKER_02
And what I love about it is it doesn t change the taste of your alcohol, right?
9
SPEAKER_02
It doesn t change the color.
9
SPEAKER_02
It doesn t change your buzz most important.
9
SPEAKER_02
So it s five drops in every drink.
9
SPEAKER_02
It s going to neutralize all the acid that is basically making you feel like crap the next morning.
9
SPEAKER_02
It s gonna protect your gut.
9
SPEAKER_01
And so when you wake up, what are the things you ll notice?
9
SPEAKER_01
Maybe less of a hangover, you ll just feel better?
9
SPEAKER_02
Less hangover, because again, like the alcohol, the acidity is so high, it s depleting you, it s dehydrating you.
9
SPEAKER_02
So this is a proprietary blend of ionic minerals.
9
SPEAKER_02
It s protecting your gut.
9
SPEAKER_02
It s lowering the inflammation that s attacking the liver and the brain.
9
SPEAKER_02
So it s basically preventing the hangover symptoms that you re having.
9
SPEAKER_00
Get off your acid.com code skinny.
9
SPEAKER_00
And can we do a giveaway?
9
SPEAKER_01
Absolutely.
9
SPEAKER_00
All right.
9
SPEAKER_00
Let s give away a bunch of my favorite products.
9
SPEAKER_00
You know, you know what to do.
9
SPEAKER_00
The acid kicking alcohol, the new definitely that you have to include the acid kicking coffee too.
9
SPEAKER_02
And we have a new magnesium, which of course I left in the hotel room.
9
SPEAKER_02
That is incredible.
9
SPEAKER_02
It s got the three most bioavailable forms of magnesium that hits the gut or targets the gut, the heart and the brain.
9
SPEAKER_02
So we ll add that into.
9
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
9
SPEAKER_00
We ll do like a little basket to one winner.
9
SPEAKER_00
All you have to do is follow at Dr. Daryl Joffrey on Instagram and tell us your favorite part of this episode on my latest post at Lauren Bostic.

So thank you for the support.
9
SPEAKER_02
You re helping me on my mission, the vow I made to my dad when I was holding his hand the day that he died.
9
SPEAKER_02
And I said, dad, I m gonna do everything in my power to prevent as many people from suffering the way that he did.
9
SPEAKER_02
And he died right there, holding my hand.
9
SPEAKER_02
And that day, that became my mission in life, my vow to help as many people not go through these issues that start in the gut that turn to cancer.
9
SPEAKER_02
And you guys have just been such a huge part of helping me with that.
9
SPEAKER_02
So I m so grateful.
9
SPEAKER_02
Thank you, man.

9

Thank you.
