WEBVTT
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:06.879
Okay, so welcome to our podcast.
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:13.439
This is a little bit different today because this podcast is a spin-off of our radio show.
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:24.480
I'm a very casual.
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:26.000
This is a very casual podcast.
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.719
So I uh I do a radio show, and my radio show is just very casual as well.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:31.199
Yeah.
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.240
So I'm grateful that you came here to be on my podcast.
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:41.679
Um I have this, I have this weird thing with my podcast, and I feel like it's gonna backfire on me, and this could be the podcast where it backfires.
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:42.320
Let's do it.
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:58.159
Well, I I have this like methodology of interviewing where I feel like you know, like I'm getting on an airplane like Southwest, and I'm gonna fly to San Diego or Los Angeles, and I get on my plane, and you're right next to me, and we don't know each other, and by the time we land, we know each other.
00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:58.799
Right, right.
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.079
So I don't have I don't I'm Googling you while you're next to me.
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:09.120
So we just kind of like stalk start talking and unfolding, and I get information and and and from you and and more.
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.680
Uh and we pull layers back and talk.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.799
But one of the reasons we met is because of a mutual friend, Rafael Gonzalez.
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:15.359
Yes.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.040
Uh I I I love Raphael.
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.400
I consider him I consider him a good friend.
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:19.599
I also don't have a lot of friends.
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.200
He's a colleague and a brother.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:22.879
I mean, he's like my brother, absolutely.
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:23.439
Oh, really?
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:24.319
Yeah, I love that man.
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:24.640
Yeah.
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.640
Um, I met him about five or six years ago when I went to Cancun to get stem cells, right?
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:30.000
Absolutely.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:31.439
And uh are you in that world?
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.799
Yeah, so I've actually been in the stem cell space for about 20 years.
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:35.439
Stop.
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:35.760
Yeah.
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.879
So I was sending clients to Moscow, yeah, years ago.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:46.799
Um I worked with a company out of uh Scripps Hospital in San Diego, and then Raphael and I met um mutual clients.
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.079
So I'm a health strategist, right?
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.159
So I have clients that fly in from all over the world to help have me help kind of decipher what's going on.
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:58.079
And I'm also highly neurotic about what's in everything.
00:01:58.239 --> 00:01:59.840
And his cells were just the purest.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:02.799
And I was like, I gotta know that I need to know the scientists behind this.
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:04.640
So that's how he and I became buddies.
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.599
We're on the phone forever this morning.
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:07.920
Yeah.
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:09.120
I talk to him sometimes.
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.599
I have to go, hey, I need you to dumb this down on me.
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.479
I mean I need you to So we are called the science geeks in the clinic.
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.439
Like he and I just go.
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.319
That's what I mean when I say, yeah, like a brother.
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:21.199
He's he's phenomenal.
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:22.159
20 years.
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.639
So in in this stem cell space, 20 years, you've known about it all, and you like his the best.
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:27.199
The best.
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:27.759
Absolutely.
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:28.879
That makes me feel so good.
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:29.439
You should.
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:30.479
Yeah, they're neurotic.
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.759
And I I mean, I'm that way about anything I put in my body, anything that I put my name on, right?
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.879
You know, I have a degree in agricultural and soil sciences, then biochem, then masters in nutrition, and I'm in neuroimmunology.
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.639
And so it's how the immune system responds to everything, right?
00:02:47.039 --> 00:03:00.479
And so um, stem cells or food or anything like that, if you put something in that has, you know, potentially a positive impact, but carries with it something negative, it actually is amplified.
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:01.840
So you have to be really careful.
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.439
Well, can you help me explain?
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:09.039
And I I've asked this of other people, and I can't, I don't, I I can't explain it when it comes down to the situation.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.439
I had a guest here the other day, and they're like, oh, you know, I get stem cells here.
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:14.879
And I'm like, they're not the same.
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.039
They go, Well, this doctor says they are mesenchymal stem cells from whatever.
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.120
And I don't, I never know how to come back at them except they're not the same.
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:24.479
Trust me, they're not the same.
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:25.599
And they're not the same, right?
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.360
No matter what they're saying, oh, it's now legal in Utah, it's now legal in Arizona.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.840
But it's can you help me explain what's so different about it?
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.919
Yeah, so I mean, I would say Dr.
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.319
Gonzalez or Raphael would be probably much better than that.
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.000
Well, I asked them a hundred times, but I still don't know.
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.759
Okay, so I'm gonna I'm gonna give it to you this from a neuroimmunology perspective, right?
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:50.719
So in my career for over 31 years clinically, we take the most difficult case and we try to create homeostasis, a healthy homeostasis.
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.120
I want you to feel F and amazing, right?
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.319
So stem cells are these early cells that don't know what they want to be when they grow up yet.
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:03.280
Okay, and so you want to make sure if you're doing stem cell therapy, so we can take stem cells from ourselves.
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.919
Sometimes people take them from the bone morrow, but we can also take what we call donor cells.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:16.560
And the best place to get a donor cell is in a live birth from what they call mesenchymal cells or the inside of um the umbilical cord.
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.240
And so there are many stem cells, but it's how you process them.
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.839
I mean, I cannot tell you how many, how dirty from a biochem perspective.
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:30.079
Now I'm gonna jump in, how dirty the mediums are and how when their culture expanded, we lose a lot of the dignity of the cell.
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:38.160
So for me, you know, again, I've done have taken clients to Moscow, to France, to Switzerland, um, all over the world.
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:38.639
Yeah.
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:47.519
And and for me, that was a great again, because I'm looking at the oh when a body is overloaded, right?
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.519
When it when the burdens become too much.
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.279
That's when they call me in.
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.920
And sometimes it's a professional athlete, but really it's usually people just like myself.
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.639
I I I got into this industry, I'd gotten into vet school.
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.040
I had to take a medical leave of absence because my health went completely sideways.
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.519
Um, it was a massive crisis.
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:06.879
I almost died, right?
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.759
And now I was early 20s, and now I live an incredibly vibrant and healthy life.
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:19.759
So I had to learn how to take burden and toxic overload in my own body and how to get rid of it, regenerate, and heal.
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.439
And so that's my whole life's work.
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.720
So when you said you got really sick, do you know what it was?
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.319
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.759
So I I was diagnosed with an autoimmune called ITP, which is where you don't stop bleeding, right?
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.439
It's it's it's almost like a hemophiliac, except for it's platelet related.
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.240
So I became fascinated with hematology or blood cells at a very early age.
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.199
I had to, because I had to figure out how to reverse engineer my own body and what it was going through.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:50.560
That's why stem cells or NK cells or dendritic cells are super fascinating to me.
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.879
So I was diagnosed with ITP, which is a bleeding disorder.
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.800
But you know, I was young in my 20s.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.639
I was working in veterinary surgery.
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:05.360
I'd gotten into vet school and I was given anti-rejection drugs, 60 to 80 milligrams of prednisone every day.
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.120
Um, and then it all came crashing down.
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:08.399
My kidneys started to fail.
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.800
I was offered chemo and a splenectomy.
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:16.959
I was hospitalized, and I remember I, you know, there's those moments in your life where you just remember a pivot, right?
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.800
And I always remember like the hospital gown putting divots in my leg.
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.160
I remember the sounds, I remember the smells, and I just said, this is not gonna be my fucking destiny.
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.199
It's just not.
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:34.959
And so I went back, I learned biochemistry, I learned all about hematology, I got a master's in nutrition, I studied neuroimmunology.
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.839
I'm a I'm a research scientist in neuroimmunology.
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.399
And I said, This can't be my destiny.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.920
I am completely drug-free.
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:48.639
I take no steroids, I take no um anti-rejection drugs, I take a handful of supplements every day, you better believe it.
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.800
Um, and I've learned how to, so I was exposed to malthion.
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:58.879
So I was fortunate that I was referred to a toxicologist at the time when my organs started shutting down.
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.160
Malathion was sprayed in California during Metfly.
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:02.399
Yeah.
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:08.480
And because I'm not really a good rule follower, I was out past curfew and we got dumped on.
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.279
Um and I remember it was orange, you had to cover your cars.
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:17.120
Uh so as we were tracing back what we call homotoxicology or how the body toxifies, right?
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:23.199
As I was tracing that back in my own health, I learned where my original exposure and what was the trigger for my autoimmune disorder.
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:23.920
And that was it.
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:24.319
Yeah.
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:30.720
And so I couldn't find a clinic that could take care of me in the way that I needed to be taken care of.
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.959
So I built my own at 22.
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:41.680
I have built seven, uh, nine clinics, sold seven, and I consult with doctors all over the world when individuals have toxic overload.
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.439
Wow, my mind is blown.
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:44.480
I love it.
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:52.959
With the autoimmune disease, so my experience with that is I have a friend that had percititis and uh ulcerclitis.
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:53.920
Yeah, absolutely.
00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:00.240
And I he's 35, and he's uh since he was 16, he goes to the hospital for about two weeks.
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:01.519
Could his name be Dane?
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:02.160
And you think, huh?
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:03.360
Could his name be Dane?
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.480
No, but I met Dane.
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:05.040
I met Dane.
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.560
It's like I introduced him to Dane.
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:07.920
I introduced him to him to Dane.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.120
Yeah, he just said it's a story that's right.
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:09.519
That's right.
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:10.399
That's that's right.
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:12.319
So that's the word.
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:15.920
Survivors of the environment.
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.959
And but I I humor me for a second.
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:24.079
Like if you close your eyes and you imagine, I want you to think about all the people that you know.
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.079
How many can you think of right now that have just outrageous health?
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:29.759
They're outrageously healthy, right?
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:31.360
Outrageously healthy?
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:31.759
Yeah.
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:32.399
Couple.
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:32.960
A couple.
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:38.720
Yeah, and and do it now and think about how many people are really struggling in their health right now.
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:39.200
A lot.
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.279
I just found out if somebody I know just died yesterday.
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:42.720
Yeah, it's heartbreaking.
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:43.840
Can I open my eyes now?
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:44.879
You can open your eyes.
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.320
The people that are healthy, are they working hard at it?
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:48.879
Yes.
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:49.600
Absolutely.
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:51.039
And that's what it takes.
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.720
And so I, you know, I've written six New York Times best-selling books.
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:55.919
We've sold millions of copies.
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.679
They're in 47 languages.
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.559
This is why this next book I'm giving away for free.
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:01.360
Oh, wow.
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:02.000
Oh, yeah.
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.840
It's called Toxic Overload, and it's because it's full circle, right?
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:10.720
31 years ago, I was in that hospital bed and I was able to walk this journey.
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.600
And I I flew 72 flights last year.
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.039
I was in 12 countries.
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.639
I feel freaking amazing.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:16.960
Wow.
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:18.480
And everybody out there can too.
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:19.600
Is there a flight hack?
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:20.799
Oh, there's a total flight hack.
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.960
Like I saw somebody said, Don't ever eat on an airplane.
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.080
Don't ever eat on an airplane.
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:24.720
Even your own food?
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:25.200
Hydrate.
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.559
I well, I bring my own food for sure.
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:27.840
So you can eat your own food on the airplane.
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.759
Yeah, and I manufacture my own bars.
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.600
I manufacture my own shakes for a reason.
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:32.639
Like you can buy your bars?
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:33.120
Oh, yeah.
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.600
I formulated for years for 18 other companies.
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.240
I formulated in the in the guests right now.
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:39.360
You see what I'm saying?
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:44.559
Like if I would have done this research, I'm so glad this is what's the how what are the name of your bars?
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:45.759
Pomeroy nutrition.
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:46.320
Oh, really?
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:46.480
Yeah.
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.120
Look at it.
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:47.759
Wait a minute.
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.240
I feel like are they are they in stores too?
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:51.039
No, they're not.
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:52.159
They're direct to consumer.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.360
Anybody that's in a store is cheaping out on the raw ingredient.
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.840
We can't afford to have good raw ingredients and selling it.
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:58.320
Pomeroy.
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.159
I feel like I'd seen that bar before.
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.159
Yeah, it's one-stop nutrition.
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:02.799
There's a nutrition.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:03.279
Are you sure?
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.159
I'm positive.
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:04.559
I know.
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.879
I would find this new picture.
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:07.360
Yeah.
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.759
And we were voted the purest, uh most bioavailable protein powder in the world right now.
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:12.399
Um, yeah.
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.000
So it's it third party tested?
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.039
Oh, absolutely.
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.919
Not only is it third-party tested, I cage everything.
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.240
I third party test each raw ingredient.
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.960
And then I believe in compounding effects with toxins.
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.720
So we have 27 ingredients.
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.639
I third party test once it's blended, which is almost unheard of.
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.000
How much protein is one scoop?
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:30.879
24 grams.
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:31.440
Wow.
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.120
You also do the creatine and all that?
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:34.080
I do not believe in creatine.
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:35.200
Don't believe in creating protein.
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:37.440
I do not believe in whey.
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.120
So well, what kind of protein is it?
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.879
It's uh a lectin-free chickpea out of Belgium.
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.879
I source globally, right?
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:47.279
So, like my B vitamins are out of Milan.
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.320
I I'm I'm neurotic.
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:49.360
Have you not noticed?
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:50.320
Welcome.
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:51.600
Hi, nice to meet you.
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:58.960
No, but it it for me, it's not about it's I can do anything at this point in my life, right?
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.519
I have beautiful children that just both got married.
