And now here's your host, Erin Page.

SPEAKER_00: 0:14

Hello, everyone. Welcome to The Remedy Revolution. My name is Erin, and today's guest is from The Chemical Free Body. His name is Tim James, a.k.a. The Health Hero, and I am happy to have you here today, Tim. Thanks for being on the show.

SPEAKER_01: 0:30

Thanks for having me here, Erin. Happy to be here.

SPEAKER_00: 0:33

Yeah. So tell us a little bit about your story. How did you get involved in all things healthy, specifically with that mantra of the chemical-free body? What made you change your mind, so to speak?

SPEAKER_01: 0:48

Well, just give a little bit about my background, just so people know kind of the you know, societal conditioning and parental conditioning that I went through. I, I grew up over here in Eastern Oregon, which is kind of like living in, it's a lot of ranchers and farming and stuff. We had a small, uh, we did Hereford cattle and, uh, grass hay and alfalfa hay and did some leasing land, more of the same. I had a big garden growing up, used to being out in nature, up in the mountains a lot, lots of hunting and fishing. And then, um, Fast forward to age 37, I had moved down to the big city, which my dad thought was crazy. I actually went down there for baseball because I played baseball at a high level for 30 years. After college was done, that's what was left. I could still work and then play baseball in the evenings and weekends. It was very competitive. I really enjoyed that. That's how I ended up in Portland. then you know at age 37 i was i was married i had a couple kids had a house a couple rental properties i was a financial advisor at the time but my health had severely waned i had gained 42 pounds my energy wasn't used to what it used to be i had mental clarity issues I mean, I was really busy too. We had three offices in the financial advising deal and I was mentoring with the guy to take over his practice. He was getting ready to retire and I was going to be taking over this. You know, we had three offices, 18 employees. He was netting at the time, like, like, over two million a year and I was like gonna inherit all this so all my friends were like dude you got it made you got it made like you're you were so smart hooking up to Jeff and it was like I was like alright whew this is good so I did the financial thing and And that was all good. But I was also pooping blood. And I had like bright red blood from anal tears. And then I had dark red blood from internal dysbiosis. My gut was really messed up, which perpetuated skin issues. I had eczema on my knee, started cracking and bleeding. And then it got bigger. And this patch on my knee just kept getting larger every year. And then all of a sudden it spread. I got it on my elbow, then my other elbow. And then I had another skin issue in my back. And actually... went down to Peru, my wife's dad's a doctor, runs a big medical clinic down in Lima, Peru, and he sent me over to a plastic surgeon guy, and I think he injected me with some kind of steroid or cortisone, something, and it kind of ate away the fat stuff that was bubbling up, but then it kind of left a dent, and it was kind of purple looking, but okay, then three months later, It was like bloop, bloop, bloop. Three more of those things came up around that area, and then I was like, what happens if this gets on my face? So I'm all freaked out, and I hate needles. And then my friend Charles got diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, supposedly some incurable blood cancer. He asked me to go with him to a detox and healing center in Florida called Hippocrates Wellness Center. They'd been around at the time like 61 years. Now they've been in business over 70 years. His wife originally went there to lose five pounds when they were back in Boston. But they had moved to West Palm Beach. And we went there January 1, 2011 to try to save my friend's life. And I thought I was going to lose him because... Pretty much everybody in my life that had gotten cancer had died. I lost a good buddy of mine on one of my baseball teams, Clay Mahoy, died at age 40 of stomach cancer. My aunt died of melanoma skin cancer that spread to her lungs and her spine, liver and all that stuff. And then my grandma died of brain cancer. But my aunt and my grandma were older. So you kind of figure, you know, somebody gets older, they die of things like this. You don't think much of it. But my friend was 40. He was really fit, but he did chew tobacco. So it was like, eh, that probably went down his throat, got in his stomach. So that one kind of made sense. But now with Charles, he was like the vegetarian. He was like the healthy guy in the group, even though he was 60 pounds overweight, right? So you can be an unhealthy vegetarian. Don't kid yourself. And so we went down there in an attempt to save his life. And when we first got there, uh... the first class that was taught was a four-hour class called internal awareness boy did i learn a whole bunch of stuff about my body that i didn't know and i learned it treat my body like a machine you know because it is a machine it's a and it needs certain things and we were never given an owner's manual to this machine we're just kind of doing what mom and dad did and what society's telling us to do and what tastes good right and so um... this doctor came out he was really fit and um... And by the way, he had turned 50 that day. It was his birthday. And I was like, that guy's 50? I was like, whoa, he didn't look a day over 40. So he looked really good. And by the way, the people that had been working that place after being there for a couple weeks, I looked around, I was like, the ones that were actually bought into the lifestyle, they looked 10, 15, 20 years younger than the rest of the population at those ages. I mean, these people looked amazing. So I know success leaves clues, but I still thought that this, I was like, how could this podunk place in Florida be helping people with cancer? when we've got millions of dollars spent, race for the cure, all these best doctors are at it. I was still caught up in that whole thing. And so I was very critical and suspicious of the whole thing. And I was there to prove it wrong. And I was taking notes and asking lots of questions. So anyway, back to this class. So this doctor comes out, Dr. Scott, it was Josephson. And And he started telling us that the average person, Aaron, has 6 to 12 pounds of impacted fecal material in the colon. And it's disease-causing, and it robs you of your vitality because it's creating a very acid, low-oxygen environment in the colon and a breeding ground for harmful organisms, bacterias, viruses, mold, yeast like candida, fungus, mutagens, cancers, and parasites. And then he started to tell us about parasites, and he's like, And it was like, then he started, well, first off, they had these, it's called virtual colonoscopies. And he said, let me show you the inside of people that are not healthy versus somebody that's been on our program and show you what their colon looks like that's healthy. The first person was a woman who was like 24 years old, and she had thrush. which is like this yeast infection and some type of thyroid disorders, either Graves' disease or Hashimoto's or something, I can't remember. And anyway, inside of her colon, you know what I'm thinking? Oh, great, we get to go look inside of somebody's colon. That's going to be weird. But what would you expect to see? Well, me as an average person, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a clinician or nothing, I don't know what's going on. I'm expecting to see maybe a pink lining and some brown stuff. Poop. Okay, that's what I think is going to happen to me. Inside of her colon, it was all yellow and white. completely engulfed in yeast. And I was like, whoa, that's not good. Then they went to a 65-year-old male that had colon cancer and parasites. And inside of his colon was black midnight tar and a bunch of white little worms crawling around. And everybody in this class was like, oh, God. I mean, people were literally freaking out when they saw that. Everybody was freaking out. Their skins are crawling. And I was like, holy crap. I'm like... That's not good. And then that's when the doctor turned around and said, hey, look, this parasite thing is not a third world affair by far. He goes, easily, 50% of you are going to see these parasites coming out in your stools as you're detoxifying and as you're changing the environment inside of your colon and your body and your organ systems and making it inhospitable to these parasites. parasites, these harmful organisms. And some of you will see it. They'll actually come out through the pores of your skin. And like I'm now, I'm freaked out. Now, the whole purpose of this, he was trying to sell us on colonics. You ever heard of those?

SPEAKER_00: 9:00

Yep, absolutely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 9:03

Okay. You've done a colonic?

SPEAKER_00: 9:05

I have. Yeah, actually several. When I was in Lyme treatment, I did lots and lots of colonics. So yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 9:13

Awesome. All right. For your listeners, if you're not familiar what a colonic or colon hydrotherapy is, you basically sit on a tube and they insert a tube rectally and water gently goes in and out of your colon for about an hour and it cleans your colon. That's it. You know, it's just a wash job. It's like flushing the engine out of the tractor or your vehicle if it's not running well. And so they flushed me out. I actually dropped 11 pounds of impacted fecal material in that first one-hour session. I think, listen to this, the record at the institute was a lady, and they've done like 700,000 of these colon hydrotherapy sessions because everybody in there gets at least one. The record was a lady dropped 27 pounds in one one-hour session. And for me, I'm like, numbers, okay, but I'm like visual, and I'm like, what weighs 27 pounds? And I thought about a 25-pound dumbbell, you know, lifting that weights-wise, because I did that as a kid a lot, lift a lot of weights in baseball and stuff. I was like, that's heavy. And I go, what else weighs 25 pounds? I was like, God, a medium-sized dog. Like, imagine a medium-sized dog literally falling out of your rear end. Like, that's what came out of me. And so I was like, whoa, this is... This is insane when that happened. And then the last, sorry, the last picture of that virtual colonoscopy was a woman. It was 45 that had breast cancer. And again, inside of her colon, black like tar, some dark brown stuff. It just didn't look right. Then they went and looked at this healthy person, went inside their colon, and you could actually see the pink lining of the intestine, and there's some brown stuff in there. Okay, so, okay, that's when the light bulb went off in my mind. I'm like, oh my God, this is an internal game. It's an inside job. And I have to go inward. And then when I found out spiritually, it's everything's inside of you. It's like everything we have to do, it's all us. We have to do, it's like you get to take responsibility for everything and then everything can change for you. And so I was outsourcing my health to physicians and people like this that are in an industry that's great for critical care, but it's completely broken for chronic issues. I mean, I'll just literally say they get an F. It's not their fault. The system's broken. They're good boys and girls that signed up for being the doctors and nurses. But handing somebody a synthetic drug made in a laboratory for critical care, that can

SPEAKER_00: 11:28

save your butt. Petroleum-based, too.

SPEAKER_01: 11:30

Yeah, but it's like you have a carbon-based body. I have actually a book called The Supplement Safety Guide. that I have people read because I've actually helped 12 other supplement companies get their act together. But anyway, so from that meeting, I went and got the colon hydrotherapy session, did all that stuff. And then after, you know, I actually went through some detox symptoms because, you know, it's full immersion when you went there. So I had night sweats. I was irritable. I had actually a metallic taste coming out of my tongue. I found out later that I was severely poisoned with heavy metals from a kid growing up loading lead shotgun shells, making lead jigs for crappie and bass fishing. I was... We just around a lot of, you know, spraying around up all this weird stuff, chemicals and stuff. But I had a lot of heavy metal poisoning that came out through a very specialized infrared sauna that I got.

SPEAKER_04: 12:15

But,

SPEAKER_01: 12:17

you know, after about day five, I woke up and I felt like I was like, I couldn't believe how good I felt. I looked at Charles and I was like, we did our little routine, we went and worked out, we did the sauna, we did the hot-cold plunge, we drank our green juice, our wheatgrass shots, and now we're walking back and I'm like, I feel like I'm 18, 15. I told Charles, I go, dude, my arms are literally tingling with energy. We have discovered the fountain of youth, my friend. I go, I know that you're gonna heal yourself, there's no question. I talked to so many people that had healed themselves of cancer and they had come back to either just have a buff up, a reboot, or they brought a friend that had cancer that they didn't want to die. So I was like, dude, you're going to live. And I said, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm going to go home and I'm going to give up all meat except for bacon and I'm going to go all in with you and you're going to heal. Because I didn't want to lose my friend because I just lost one on my baseball team.

SPEAKER_04: 13:10

And

SPEAKER_01: 13:11

then I read the China study on the way home and then I gave up all meat for actually eight and a half years. Now I do a little bit now and then, but, and I'm not saying you have to quit meat to be healthy, but I'm just saying that was the path because that place was really like plant-based focus, living foods, lots of sprouts, lots of sprouted nuts, sprouted seeds, sprouted grains, sprouted beans. We can talk about bio photons and why you'd want to incorporate those living foods into your life because your body needs them and what the magic that they do, but at least start getting them into your life. So I came back home, got busy. Charles and I got busy on our new life. In 60 days, I dropped the 42 pounds. All the skin issues were gone on my body. The one on my back disappeared. I was freaking out. I'm like, this is crazy. And then the one on my knee actually took about eight months because it had been there for years and it was large.

UNKNOWN: 14:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 14:01

And so then I started teaching classes. My friends came over and they saw me. When you lose 42 pounds in two months and your friends haven't seen you in just two months and all of a sudden they see you, they're like, dude, what are you doing? And then I just tell them a spiel about everything I kind of just talked about. And I'm juicing sprouts and I change how I eat. And they bring their friend over, tell Jeremiah what you did. Tell Billy Bob what you did. And I just kept telling my story. So I had to do classes eventually. We're doing two nights a week. We ended up having 5,500 people to our home teaching these detox nutrition classes, making fresh wheatgrass juice and green juices and serving them a living food dinner. And people would call me for three, five days afterwards and say, I still have energy from that one night at your house five days later from one dose. And I got to go down initially and get seven days of dosing. And then I went back two years later and got two weeks. And I've been back there six or seven times now. Sure. That's how the whole thing came. I started growing sprouts. We were delivering wheatgrass and sprouts to about 40 to 60 cancer patients a week. I started connecting with local healers and colon hydrotherapists and biological dentists. I just got really into this stuff. Eventually, I left financial advising. I walked away from a multi-million dollar paycheck to tell people literally about green juice and sprouts because I'm way more excited about it. I had no idea how I was going to make a living. Now, it's been 13 years. I've become a coach. I've coached 750 50 people through this transformation process and now I we have our supplement detox formulated line from Dr. Treadway and it's you know we're all over the world shipping now and it's it's awesome I'm not where I would have been with the financial services thing because we're still a small company but if we stay in business and people keep trying our products and getting results they're going to keep telling people so we're pretty much word of mouth

SPEAKER_00: 15:46

okay so to kind of take me back to that journey for you from a personal standpoint so you're feeling

SPEAKER_01: 15:54

like

SPEAKER_00: 15:55

horrible right you're pooping blood you've got all of these issues and then when you come back um what was the response uh the initial response of say your wife or um kids if you had them or you know that the general community um did they think you were off your rocker at that point

SPEAKER_01: 16:14

yeah a lot of people did and the reason why is because um well first off i'll tell you it's like i realized um that i was gonna have to go back home and i didn't have this infrastructure that I had. I mean, they literally just had all the food there for you. You'd go into this room and open up the fridge and there was fresh cut wheatgrass. You just juice it. They had juicers setting up. So I went into the store and said, how do I recreate this life at my home? They're like, do you have a juicer? I'm like, no. It's like, well, you got to get one. Well, what's the best? Because I know I always go best first when I'm... I don't want to go buy... crappy scuba gear and spend 500 bucks and then like waste 500. And then I got to go spend 1500 and get good stuff. Like if I'm serious about something, I want to do best first. And when you're talking about your health, I always tell people go best first, do not compromise on your health because it's everything, your body, the vehicle you've been given this gift from God. If you can learn how to maintain it and heal it and maintain it, then you're going to have an amazing life and you don't have to live in pain. And so, I ordered like$1,100 worth of stuff. I got the trays, I got the seeds, the wheatgrass, the sunflower seeds to start sprouting and then I just paid for it and then I called my wife up and I was like, hey, there might be a package show up before I get home and she's like, how much money did you spend? And I was like, oh,$1,100. And she's like, what? She was all mad at me and I was like, I said, well, Charles is going to heal a cancer and I'm going to heal and I feel better and you're going to, it's amazing and she's like, you're crazy. And then we hung up and Package showed up, and I got home, and I got busy. I started juicing, and I started telling my wife about all this stuff, and she's like, I'm not going to stop eating meat. You're nuts. And I'm like, okay, whatever, and so you did. But what I found out was is that I found all these documentaries on health, and we watched one called Food Inc. a month later, and she was crying, and then she's like, I can't eat meat anymore. And again, I'm not here to say stop eating meat. I'm just saying stop. This is the process I went through. And again, I eat some nowadays. If somebody goes to the coast and catches a tuna fish and says, Tim, you want a little can of my smoked tuna fish? I'm like, yeah, I'll eat it. I know there's probably a little bit of parasites and mercury in there, but I take toxin detox. I have a parasite product now. I know what's going on. But I want to be... I got so caught up and so fanatical that I became like the food Nazi and I started driving friends away from me. Because what ends up happening is what I've noticed, I actually teach classes on this. When you start changing yourself, you want to start changing everybody else around you to make yourself feel comfortable. So don't try to change anybody. Just deal with you. Focus on you. And to hell with what everybody else says or does. They have nothing to do with your life, literally. It's all us. Our life experience is about us. It's not about them. Now, it's okay for you. When you start changing, unfortunately, our friends and family members, those are the tough ones. They're like lobsters. If you put a lobster in a bucket, the lobster always crawls out. If you put two lobsters in a bucket, one tries to crawl out, the other one reaches up, pulls them back down. People don't like it when you make changes because it's a reflection. Now they have to look at themselves. They're like, what am I doing for myself? Nothing. And I don't want to because of fear. Usually fear-based definitions. So they want to stay comfortable. That's why people like to smoke cigarettes together or drink booze together or smoke weed together or whatever it is. People, they just hang out together and they support each other because they're all doing the same stuff, right?

SPEAKER_00: 19:45

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I know years ago, I was a vegan for a couple of years and until I got pregnant, actually. But, you know, at that point, I became really evangelical. And then I realized, okay, I'm not helping people at this point. So I need to take a step back and kind of look at this from their perspective, instead of looking at it through my limited lens, you know, open their eyes, help them to see some of the benefits of, you know, certain foods and things like that. I've Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride on from the GAPS diet protocol, which focuses on plant-based foods for cleansing and detoxing and animal-based foods for building and supporting. So, you know, anyway, I think it's really important that no matter what you're utilizing, that we don't become, you know, the vegan evangelist or the, you know, carnivore evangelist or whatever it is. because people will come to their own conclusions once they're presented with good information. So I think that's so great. Tell me a little bit about the chemical free body and how that evolved. What was your first product and how did that all begin?

SPEAKER_01: 21:12

Well, the first product was we were already doing these classes and educating people. We did it under what we called the Sprout Company back then because we eventually just started selling sprouts. After doing that, once I quit financial services, I actually had to... do a profit and loss statement on the sprout business we created. And I realized I was losing like$7 a tray. So I was, you know, and I went in the first two and a half years, I wasn't even charging people for dinner. I was, I was spending 800 to a thousand a month to feed people. And I'd go to the farmer's markets and get stuff. And I just felt good about it. I'm like, I didn't, you know, I didn't, I felt it was such a gift. So then I actually, I was like, shit, I had to charge money. So, um, we started charging$55 a class and people paid it happily and brought their friends. And it was like, wow, I should have done this before. But, um, And then we bumped the trays up from$20 to$35 plus a$10 delivery fee eventually because the traffic in Portland just kept getting worse and worse and worse. So I'm like, this isn't even sustainable. So then we went to drop spots. So I was partnered with chiropractors and naturopathic doctors and clinics, and we would just go drop off in like five, six locations, and then people in those areas would then come and pick up their sprouts. So we did that. We did that for a while and then finally, I was on a mission. I was like, I'm going to sell sprouts to the entire nation. That was my goal. But then I met a guy who had been doing it for like 14 years and he was supplying all the Jamba juices. And he said, look, he's like, he goes, your sprout operation that you have in your garage is like the best I've ever seen. The only one I've ever seen better is mine. And he goes, but I do this for a living. He goes, it's amazing what you've done here. But he goes, when they come to check you and inspect you, it's not like you're going to an inspector for a, for a restaurant, which you think would be the same quality, but they can get a C rating And they can still stay in business and serve you food. He goes, I have to get an A rating or they shut me down. Everything has to be perfect because they don't want us in business. They want us gone. And they're going to try to scare people with mold and E. coli and salmonella and all this stuff, which is possible. It is possible to get. But where does that come from? It comes from feces. So if you go in the cattle yards where the cattle yards are big, you know, stuffed into pens where they can't run around in a big area, they're walking around in five, six inches of urine and feces. And that's where E. coli and salmonella comes from. And so, you know, if you're walking around in your boots and then you touch that and you bring it into the house, I mean, this is where this stuff can, it can come from. Right. And so, um, so I was like, But I was so hell-bent on nature. And then I had this older lady. She was in her 70s. She was very weak. Her kidneys were shutting down. And she came to a class, and she's like, I actually feel better from that sweetgrass shot and these juices and stuff. She goes, I want to get the wheatgrass. So she did. And then... She drove into town, and for some reason, I finally hired a delivery guy. Her wheatgrass was gone or somebody took it or whatever. And she's like, I drove all the way into town from Dr. Bailey's. She lived clear on the other side of town. And traffic was horrible. And I was like, oh, God, this is going to be like a four-hour drive for me to take her a tray of wheatgrass. I said, hey, I'll tell you what. Because I was just looking into this green powder juice stuff. And so I had bought one. Because I juice twice a day, no matter what, period, end of story. And I was like so fit and felt amazing, healed myself. And I'm like, I'm not stopping doing this. But when I traveled, sometimes I couldn't get to a fresh green juice. So I wanted something as close as possible. So I used this one company that had a big jar. I can't remember the name of it, but it was unflavored. And it tastes like terrible, but I knew it was good. So I'd drink it when I traveled. And then I found a formulator to make, even better through this guy who was a chef friend of mine he's like i got this guy and he doesn't let anybody else in but through me he'll let you in so i was actually getting some products from him he was he was in his 70s real healthy and he was like working 15 hours a day getting stuff making this stuff and sending it out to people so he made a special formula for me in this green juice and that was my backup i had it literally sitting on the desk when I was talking to this lady and I was like, I tell you what, I got this powdered stuff. That's awesome. And she's like, you said that's not as good as the fresh. And I'm like, I know, but like, I just want you to try it. So I sent it to her. She tries it. And then she calls me up. She goes, Tim, I get just as much energy out of this green powder as I do the wheatgrass. And I don't have to clean the damn juicer because it's heavy in her shoulder. She's weak. And she goes, I'm, I'm in. And I'm like, Okay, great. And I just kind of forgot about it. And here I am scratching my head. I'm trying to figure out how to make a living. The Sprout thing looks like it's not going to work out. The answer was right in front of me. I didn't even see it. And then two weeks later, she calls me and she goes, I'm out. I need more of this stuff. And I still didn't see the business opportunity. I'm like, well, this guy's not taking on any more clients, but I'll call him and... And he was very adamant about it. He was like, he barely took me on. And he's like, I can't believe you're even asking me this, Tim. I am not taking on any more clients. I shouldn't have even brought you on. I'm like, I'm sorry. I said, you know what? Just send me five pounds of this stuff and I'll bag it up and I'll sell it to her. And that was it. That's how Chemical Free Body got me. So I bagged it up and I thought, you know what? I'm going to send this out to like six of my friends and just have them test it and see if this is even viable. So I sent it out to six of my friends. And within a week, four of them called me up like, dude, This stuff tastes terrible, but boy, do I feel good. I feel amazing. And so I literally put it in green Ziploc bags and I wrote green and then a little cuss word on it. I was just joking around with my friends, right? Green S-A-T. And then so that was it. And then so I just started calling my friends and letting them know what I was doing and reaching out to these people that were coming to the classes and people just started buying it. And then they got results. They started telling their friends. And here we are. you know, nine years later, and we're selling, we have thousands of customers that we sell to. We're still, again, a small company, but we're growing and we're looking for more people that want the truth. Because what I found out was is that 92% of the supplements on the market are pure synthetic, and the 8% that are whole food, herbal, and food-based There's a big percentage of those that are blends, so it's like, wow, they'll put some really cool stuff in there. You'll see maybe wheatgrass or spirulina and adaptogen mushrooms like reishi and chaga and lion's mane. But how much? And then enzymes and probiotics, some buzzwords. They'll just literally look up all the buzzwords that people are hitting on. Put a formula together, and it's cheaply made, and then they'll cheapen out. Look on a multivitamin. If your multivitamin says vitamin C, and in parentheses behind it, ascorbic acid, that's a synthetic made in a lab. It should say behind it in parentheses, omelaberry, or... Arceola cherry or camu camu berry or rose hips. These are the natural forms. It should all be spelled out. That's how you know you have a whole food form. So if I look at any multivitamin or any product and if it says ascorbic acid, even go look on your green juices, these green powder blends. If you see ascorbic acid, then that company either doesn't know what they're doing, especially if they're promoting or touting this natural food stuff, or they don't care. And so that makes me suspect to everything else. Or look out for things that say natural flavors. For 70 years, that means only 10% has to be natural by law. The other 90% can be synthetic. And guess what? Almost every time it is because they're cheaper.

SPEAKER_00: 29:05

So tell me a little bit about your shirt says ingredients matter. I couldn't agree more. So tell me a little bit about why the ingredients in your green powder is superior, let's say, to something you could grab off the shelf.

SPEAKER_01: 29:20

Well, first off, you would have to go buy probably about two to six jars of these other things to equal one pouch of what we have in Green 85. And by the way, these are new because we used to have ours in jars too. We now have completely 100% compostable, sustainable packaging so that you can feel good if it gets flying out in the woods or something. In three to six months, depending on the weather, it's going to turn into dirt, even the zipper. It's completely compostable, so we're very excited about that. So the difference is that... It's me, like I'm fanatical about this stuff. And I created this for me. I want it to be as close to a fresh pressed juice as possible. Now, to do that, when you look at an ingredient, like the main ingredient we have is wheat grass, okay? It's being studied and has been for years at Oregon State University. one of the top phytochemical or plant nutrient, phytonutrient facilities in the world. And back in, I think, 2010, they had found 70,000 nutrients inside of wheatgrass that have the ability to heal and prevent disease. Two years later, they were at 74,000 phytonutrients that could heal or present disease, and they're still counting. I don't even know what it is now. But so, we don't know. There could be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of these nutrients that are in plants, living plants, that have the ability to reverse and prevent disease. Why would we put our stuff in that especially in the modern world where we don't have access to it through for you know we'll get into all this right so so what we did was is the difference is is that it's basically dr treadway you know i i went through over 30 labs to find this guy because i was looking for a lab that understood the the bio photons and the energetics the life force as you would call it inside the plants. That can be measured at the end of the deal once it's processed and put into a bag by something called Kirlian Photography that can actually measure the energetics. I asked every single lab, do you have a Kirlian Photography machine? None of them said yes, except for Dr. Treadway. He's like, oh yeah, we have two of those. And I was like, whoa, whoa, this could be my guy. And then we kind of hit it off. He became a father figure, a mentor, and eventually kind of a colleague in arms as he stayed on from retirement to support my growth and get me launched into the industry so I could kind of take over what he was trying to get out to the world. And so I piggybacked off of 41 years of him sourcing raw materials from the right farms and the right wholesalers to create our product line. And he said it actually took him 21 years to get all of his sourcing in place. 21 years. So I literally piggybacked, leveraged all that, and then had his genius because he studied Indian herbology, Chinese herbology, Western herbology, and he knew how to formulate. So his formulas with the right materials, and then it's my job to just get them out to people. And so that's where I'm at right now. I'm trying to get, because he passed away. He slipped and fell when Texas had that snowstorm a couple years ago. And his back was messed up. And he's like me. He knows every way natural to heal. He did all this stuff. And he's like, Tim, it's a mechanical thing. He goes, I have to go get surgery. And the surgery killed him.

SPEAKER_04: 32:30

It

SPEAKER_01: 32:31

was, you know, it's two friends actually that I've lost in back surgery. So it just, you know, you never know on that kind of stuff. But, but anyway, so that's, that's it. It's like, it's really awesome. All the ingredients are, you know, sun dried or air dried under 110 degrees to keep the enzyme active. We put zero chemicals, zero chemicals in them, period. because if you go look at the umbilical cord studies and in fact when you guys are done listening to this episode just go type in your in your browser umbilical cord chemical umbilical cord chemical you'll see the same studies that i saw go back to 2005 every single child that they test in the umbilical cord blood is full of toxic poisons that cause cancer like that one study showed They looked for 400 chemicals. They found 250 of what they were looking for, 71%, and 180 caused cancer in humans, and 212 caused developmental and brain disorders. It's like your children are already poisoned in the womb. And I actually have an e-book, what we call it, Dying in the Womb, is what we called it. And it's insane. But that's the world we live in. And the older you are, the more time you've had to breathe in drink in, eat in, absorb in through your clothing, your personal care products, the air, the water, all this stuff, you've had time to bioaccumulate more toxins into your fat and your muscle tissue. And so the scary thing is that those tests are testing the blood serum. The concentrations of chemicals are actually 500 to 1,000% higher in the fat and the muscle tissue. Let that sink in for a little bit. And also realize that there's over 100,000 chemicals out there commercially that are allowed, and they only tested in that one sample for 400. So if we extrapolate that out, if there's 100,000 chemicals and 2,000 new chemicals every year and only one quarter of 1% are actually tested, the rest are just released out into the market, that means we have about 71,000 potential chemicals roughly on average that will be in our body system. I would call that a body burden. Okay. And you can't see it. So that's when I sat back in my chair and I'm like, oh my God, everybody's polluted. Well,

SPEAKER_00: 34:47

and the crazy thing is like that doesn't even account for things like, you know, heavy metals or infectious diseases or any of these other things that, you know, we're finding particularly, you know, in the population that I'm working with are carried from the mother and given to the child in utero. And so, yeah, and it attributes to that overall toxic burden, right? So then we're bringing kids into this world and they're already overloaded. So it doesn't take much to fill that bucket, if you will, and start to see symptoms. Okay, so I want to talk to you about, I know you've been coaching lots of people through this process. So do you have one or two success stories that you could tell us about people that have just done amazing things?

SPEAKER_01: 35:39

Yeah, I got lots of them. But the thing of it is, it's not about me. Me as a coach, what I do, and I'm not a doctor, I don't claim to be, I tell people right up front, it's like, and the reality is, is I don't heal anybody. I heal myself. That's the only person that I can heal. And the only person that's gonna heal you is you, right? So what I do is I provide the frequency or the energy up front and the reality that it's possible. And I get you to believe in yourself and I get you to take, you know, and inspire you to take action for my own results. I mean, I'm freaking, I'll be 52 in June. I was doing sprints yesterday down a snowy road. Sprinting. And then I come in. I'm doing push-ups. I'm doing structural movements. I do yoga. When the snow melts, my son comes up in the summer. He's 21. I'll smoke him on the trails. He's 21 years old. And he's in good shape. He can rock climb better than me. He might be a little bit stronger than me in a few areas. But I'm going to be 52. So this whole thing that, well, you're getting older, that is a bunch of crap. And so I get people to get out of that mentality and understand that your body, you are an extension of God, and you've been given a gift, and this vehicle needs to be taken care of. And don't listen to anybody, because look at your cells. You have to cut your hair all the time, right? And your fingernails grow. And your skin is always... changing and growing you when you get a cut it heals your body is a healing mechanism cells regenerate if you create the proper environment they're going to regenerate better and they're going to look younger and i'm living testament to it like so i don't look like i'm 52 i get these questions all the time and i remember when i was at hippocrates they said look every seven years you will be literally physically, literally a different person. All of the cells that make up your body today will be gone, dead, moved on. If we were to put all your cells in a little file cabinet and file them away, we'll come back in seven years and they are completely different cells. Now the question is, is what are the quality of those cells going to be made up is going to be dictated by the quality of your life and your inputs. The air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, the clothing you wear, and the people that you hang out with. Right. Sometimes you got to detox some of them out of your life. They're really dragging you down.

SPEAKER_00: 38:03

Yeah. Right. I could tell stories for days on that one,

SPEAKER_01: 38:08

but. Yes. So anyway, so to answer your question, it's like, so what I do is that's what I do. And I'm kind of like a general contractor of health. I help them get the colon hydrotherapist in their area. I help them find the, whatever they need, a biological dentist to make sure they don't have, you know, root canals or amalgam fillings or cavitation or alignment issues or uh... and maybe the dentist that Remove the mercury. Left a little piece in there and they missed it. That happens, right? We look at things like breast implants. They got to come out, ladies. Sorry. Go read the book by Dr. Susan Kolb, The Naked Truth About Breast Implants. And I've had clients that have went to her. I've sent them to her. They get the breast removed or the stuff inside there and they've been leaking. They're all over the place. They're a mess. They're causing problems. And then, you know, that one's kind of a longer healing process. It's like six months to two years to get after they get it removed. But then they can finally heal. Bladder slings. We've seen that where that comes out and the person instantly heals. Or the cavitations from wisdom teeth where they left a little ligament or tendon behind. It's created this internal systemic infection. It's 24-7 pouring into the body. You remove that and all of a sudden the color comes back on their face and their hair starts growing. These are stories that we've had. The bladder sling lady, the guy with the cavitations. I had another guy. He owned a business up in Vancouver. He had stage four prostate cancer. I coached him personally. He went all in on the lifestyle and became one of the healthiest people I've ever seen. um let's see what i mean i've got athletes um that i've helped like uh major league baseball players like aj puck you can look him up the diamondbacks uh he had a couple surgeries and stuff he heard me hired me and um he's doing good he's he's fit he he you know he he just because we i do a lot more than just like hey eat this and eat that like you know we do movement structural movement yoga i'm a chef also so i'm that's that's like one of my superpowers i I love being in the kitchen and making things that kind of look and feel and taste like what you're used to, but they're not going to kill you. Sure. Not processed. Like 4,300 people a day die of processed foods. I helped Ruth. She lost over 100 pounds. I mean, tons of weight loss stories. David Arce runs Brownsville CrossFit. You can look him up. He just wanted to get under 10% body fat. He's been at 13 forever. Within two months, he was at 6.5. Now he's freaking out because he's thinking he's going to get too skinny. I said, don't worry. You're going to balance out. He balanced out about 7% to 9%. David's story was cool because he came to me for... for weight loss. He wanted to lose some fat. And at 13%, I mean, the guy looked amazing. You know what I mean? But it was like he had this thing in his head. But what I found out was, guess what was holding him back? Well, we changed his diet a little bit, right? Got him off the rice and the meat, and we went to quinoa and stuff like that and taught him proper food combining. But his dad called him a fat little bastard growing up all the time. And so he had a self-image of that he was a fat kid. And here, imagine a guy who's a CrossFit athlete, competitive, CrossFit trainer, owns his own gym, 13% body fat, and he'd never taken his shirt off in public. He never even had a tank top.

SPEAKER_00: 41:35

So now you're speaking my language because about 12, 13 years ago, I wrote a book called Mind Over Fatter, The Secret to Thinking Yourself Thin. And it was all about that mental emotional component. I was coaching at that time and had lots of women who would come to me with things like stories of miscarriage, for example, that then kept them feeling like they had to create that protective layer, you know, for, for a future child, because they were afraid of miscarrying again, you know, things like that, which once they let go of that emotional component, it was so much easier for them to get healthy. And I always say get healthy, because nobody likes to lose anything, especially not weight.

SPEAKER_01: 42:23

We want to hang on to that as much as possible.

UNKNOWN: 42:26

That's our armor for so many people.

SPEAKER_01: 42:28

So well, let me just I want to wrap up on david's story because it's yeah absolutely it's beautiful so he it was a beautiful summer day um and he called me up he's like hey tim what's up and i was like whatever i was doing i was like he goes i gotta tell you dude he's like he's like i'm at the park with marissa his girlfriend and her little daughter is like four years old and she's at one of them fountains with the kids running around you know and he goes dude he's like I just want to let you know, he goes, this is the first time in my life, he goes, I took my shirt off in public and I was out there playing with her and I didn't have any reservations whatsoever. And it was the whole thing with his dad. He'd put that behind him. I mean, I'm, it's like, I get emotional just thinking about these things. And it's like, This was one of my first actual coaching clients. And I realized it was so much more meaningful to me than for him just to lose the weight. But to get to the root cause was the emotional damage that his father had inflicted that he was still holding on to that had nothing to do with him as an adult today. It was something he experienced in his child. And we were able to reframe that and turn it into a superpower. And here we are, he's telling me the story. And we have like two grown men were crying on the phone to each other. and just bliss. I'm so happy for him. He was so happy for himself. And he goes, and I bought 15 tank tops. He literally went out and bought 15 tank tops. And I was just sitting there and I was like, wow. Yeah, sign me up for this. Sign me up for this. This is what I want to do. I'm so happy. I had no idea because when I got into this coaching thing, I'm like, I'm going to show people all the food stuff and all that stuff. But I actually had some emotional breakthroughs too, but I didn't really connect it and didn't really understood that I could do it as a coach. But then I started realizing that it's all that matters. The spiritual path, the food stuff, this is easy. Like I can show you exactly, try a bunch of different stuff. Everybody's a little different. You have to get first person experience. We'll work that out. We'll get you cleaned up, clean up your cells. We work on cellular detoxification. We work on cleaning up the small and large intestines and the organ systems that are all plugged up with, like you said, heavy metals. You can't imagine all the stuff that's inside you. And it takes time to get it out. And your body can only release so much at a time. But the emotional stuff could be the biggest blockage of it all. It could be the reason why you're eating all this crap and doing all these things. I mean, look at the, you see it on TV. It's like the catchphrase, like the girlfriend breaks up with her boyfriend and what does she do? She goes and eats a gallon, a half gallon or maybe a pint of ice cream. You know, Chris Farley would eat a gallon ice cream. But do you remember that guy? He was on like David Letterman and talking about his mom. His mom's like, now, Christopher, I know it's Weight Watchers, but I don't think it works if you eat the whole gallon. Right, right. But the emotional thing, it's such a big deal. And I've had so many people have had these emotional breakthroughs in the coaching program because now I'm looking for it.

SPEAKER_04: 45:32

Right.

SPEAKER_01: 45:33

Like, how was your relationship with your mom growing up? How was the relationship with your father? How was the relationship with your siblings? What was going on there? Did you lose somebody? Did you lose a dog? Did you lose a horse? Something you were close to, you know, and trying to find out what it was, you know. And then, okay, just make a little note and we'll come back to that later, you know. But we start getting on to that stuff and that's where the real breakthroughs come by. And I'm telling you, everybody's got something they're hanging on to, pretty much, that I've seen. Not everybody, but a lot of people do. And usually guys are the ones that... I mean, we're the masters of limitation. We just bury this stuff. And we're not showing our emotions. And we would actually see this. I actually had a story. It was told to me by a doctor at that clinic. And he said, he goes, we will get guys that are hardcore cowboys from Calgary, Canada, that... And we have them around here, too. They... Our town's 11,850 people, and they don't like coming to town. That's going to the city. They like to stay out long ways away from people. They hang out with cows and horses and a few of their friends. That's it in Mother Nature. And those guys that ride on these horses, and they're literally having a cup of coffee next to a campfire, next to a barbed wire fence, eating a chunk of meat and a potato, they get cancer too because they're eating processed crap. And then they end up, some of them after Western medicine says, there's nothing more we can do for you. Now they're faced with dying. Some of them end up at like these Hippocrates detox centers and stuff like that. And he said somewhere around day three to day five, as we get rid of all the food, the dope that they've been using to shove their emotions down, because every time the emotion comes up, you shove it back down with some food. Now we've got rid of all that, and now you're eating all this high-vibe food and juices, and your body's cleansing, and guess what? Here comes the emotions. And they come up, and then when they're getting a massage, they come out. And this is where full-grown men will start crying uncontrollably for 45 minutes up to two hours.

SPEAKER_04: 47:34

You

SPEAKER_01: 47:35

can't stop. Just their body takes over. They've been holding on to it for 40, 50, 60 years. Their daddy beat the shit out of them or something when they were a kid or threw them through a window or threw them over a fence or threw them off a roof. These are stories I've had with my clients. Or their mom was a drug addict and her boy traded drugs her four different boyfriends, they slept with her son, who was like a little kid, for drugs, okay? I have clients that have been through some stuff, okay? And it's like, whoa, right? And so we have all this emotional trauma and these baggages and stuff, and that stuff comes out, and that's what we're looking for here. This is where the real healing begins, is when you can get that stuff out, Now you've healed. And I actually had it to me. I had it happen. I cried for 45 minutes, and I literally felt like I was floating around on a magic carpet. And what I was holding on to was a lot of hate and anger and fear around a child custody battle that I just recently went through right before I went to that place.

SPEAKER_00: 48:36

Yeah, yeah. Well, Tim, we could talk for probably another hour, but we're reaching the end of our time here, and I want to make sure we get to our rapid-fire questions. We ask these questions of every single one of our guests. They are designed to give us a little bit more insight into who you are and what makes you tick. Are you ready?

SPEAKER_01: 48:57

Sure, let's go.

SPEAKER_00: 48:58

All right, the first question. If you could choose only one natural remedy for the rest of your life, what would it be?

SPEAKER_01: 49:08

One natural remedy for the rest of my life. I think the most important natural remedy for me would be to take stock in myself and become my own doctor and to self-heal and understand that I have the power to heal. And I actually don't need anything else that I can heal with a thought. I'm still working on that myself, but I know that that's possible because I've seen... spontaneous remissions in lots of people.

SPEAKER_00: 49:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 49:39

And so that would be it. It's just to know that I have the power of God inside of me and why wouldn't I learn how to tap into that?

SPEAKER_00: 49:47

Awesome. Number two, tell us something most people don't know about you.

SPEAKER_01: 49:51

I really like playing guitar.

SPEAKER_00: 49:57

Ah, very cool. I play guitar as well. You have acoustic or electric?

SPEAKER_01: 50:01

I got it right here.

SPEAKER_00: 50:02

Ah, very cool.

UNKNOWN: 50:05

And I play

SPEAKER_01: 50:05

And I try to learn a song a week. That's my goal now.

SPEAKER_00: 50:08

Awesome. Well, this will be the perfect follow-up question then. If I were to compile a playlist of happy music, what song would you suggest be added?

SPEAKER_01: 50:17

Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, Second Movement.

SPEAKER_00: 50:21

Interesting. Please go

SPEAKER_01: 50:21

listen to it. Please go listen to it. It's the perfect frequency. Beethoven's Seventh, Second Movement.

SPEAKER_00: 50:28

All right. And what is your favorite guilty pleasure? I

SPEAKER_01: 50:32

like to make huckleberry ice cream.

SPEAKER_00: 50:35

But

SPEAKER_01: 50:36

let me show you how I make it. Take a bowl. I pick the huckleberries. I freeze them, put it in a bowl, and I take a little bit of powdered coconut milk powder, organic, of course, and I stir that in there. And then as they're kind of melting, the coconut powder will encapsulate all around that huckleberry. Then I put water on it and I stir it just enough. it will crystallize. You got to get just the right consistency. It turns into like ice cream. Now, for those of you that got super duper sweet tooths, you could squeeze a little bit of Stevie in there or monk fruit, or you could drill drizzle a little honey over it. And then it's way over the top, but it doesn't need it. And then, you know, I eat that and I fricking love it. I I'm a Huckleberry. I mean, I'll do it. I don't even drink alcohol anymore, but when I moved back home to Eastern Oregon, take care of my parents, I went to the stock show and, um, My friend was getting some stuff, and I'm like, I don't drink. And I go, what's that stuff over there? And she goes, oh, we have beer and blah, blah, blah. And we have Huckleberry, homemade Huckleberry something, cider or something. I'm like, oh, take one. If you say Huckleberry, I mean, I knew I'd need some more probiotics the next day, but I had a glass of it, and I was like, oh, this stuff's good. I think I got buzzed. Actually, I got another one, and I don't drink. I had like two of them, and I was like... It was crazy. All right.

SPEAKER_00: 51:55

What is the most influential book you've ever read?

SPEAKER_01: 51:57

Hmm. Well, geez, I would have to say recently because, um, Let's just go with Eckhart Tolle's The Power Now because that was like the first book that was handed to me that was like a spiritual book that kind of led me on a completely different path. So it was kind of a very pivotal thing. And then I was on a hike up in the Columbia Gorge and I came around this crest and I could see the valley, the whole Columbia River and all that down below me. And I said to myself, that's all, I don't need anything. I have everything I need. I don't need nothing. I don't need any of these worldly possessions. I have everything I need. So that's it.

SPEAKER_00: 52:35

Great book. Although I will say I have a hard time listening to Eckhart Tolle. He puts me to sleep very quickly. Yeah, he's kind of boring. All right. What does the word revolution mean to you?

SPEAKER_01: 52:48

The word revolution to me is a word that we should be cautious of, very cautious of. And because a lot of people want a revolution in health, they want a revolution. But if you really think about the root of the revolution, what is it? A revolution is a circle. You go around in a circle and you end up right back to where you are. What we need to do is evolve. So that's where I'm at. I'm more into evolution and evolving and getting out of where we are so we're not stuck rather than ending right back up where we were.

SPEAKER_00: 53:17

And what does the word remedy mean to you?

SPEAKER_01: 53:21

Remedy means solution. It's a solution. So finding remedies to whatever ails you.

SPEAKER_00: 53:28

And lastly, if you could impart one piece of wisdom onto our listeners, what would that be?

SPEAKER_01: 53:34

Put yourself first, love yourself, and tap into your God-given power.

SPEAKER_00: 53:41

Thank you so much for being here. Thank you all for listening. And we'll see you next time. Take

SPEAKER_03: 54:20

care.
