Life is Delicious- Mindset Mastery, Midlife Empowerment, Joy, Purpose, Vitality, Inspiration, Women's Health
Ever feel like midlife has you running on an endless hamster wheel of responsibilities while your own dreams gather dust? Is the crazy chaos of caring for everyone else leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed? Are you in desperate need of some self care, balance and reconnection with your most authentic self?
I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast isn't about surviving midlife; it's about crafting a next chapter overflowing with purpose, joy, and delicious possibilities.
I'm Marnie Martin, a multi-passionate entrepreneur, daughter and a hot midlife Mama (literally) and over the last decade, I've been through career pivots, a divorce, and I survived the empty nest, only to have it fill up again. I spent the next several years travelling miles and miles every month to care for my elderly parents and my time and attention was so torn in every direction that I lost track of who I was, and I found myself in an endless cycle of people pleasing, putting out fires and running on empty. I know how it feels to be stuck in chronic overwhelm, stress and chaos and trust me, it's not a pretty picture.
I decided that it was time to take MY OWN life and health back and I worked hard to reclaim my health through radical self care practices, recalibrating my nervous system and setting healthy boundaries that allowed me to start living my life "on purpose" again. I'm here to show you that midlife doesn't have to be a crisis, but instead a beautiful invitation to remember who we are, to rediscover a new version of ourself, or to completely re-invent our life to reflect who we are becoming now-intentionally crafting a life by design that truly nourishes our soul. If you are ready to take back YOUR "Joie de Vivre", then you are in the exact right place!
Each week brings conversations with health and wellness specialists, spiritual growth experts, and guests with courageous and transformative stories that will inspire you to break free from the overwhelm. You'll walk away with practical strategies, meaningful insights, inspiration and the permission to prioritize yourself again.

28 : A Drug Free Approach to Better Health and Well Being: Super Patch with Steve Schulz
Imagine regaining balance on the spot, easing pain without another pill, or finally waking up rested—simply by wearing a small, patterned patch. That’s the claim behind Superpatch, a new technology designed to offer a drug free approach to better health and living pain free. I brought in the VP of Operations, 35 year veteran in the Networking Industry, Steve Schultz to unpack the tech, share the origin story of the company , and explain the real-world results people are reporting across pain, sleep, focus, mood, and performance.
We start with the why: midlife bodies juggle joint pain, shaky sleep, hormone shifts, and stress. The usual fixes often come with massive side effects. Steve explains how Superpatch approaches the brain and nervous system differently—using Vibro Tactile Technology ( VTT) the patches have patterns similar to a QR code that the skin “reads,” sending signals that the brain can act on in minutes. We walk through the core lineup: Liberty for balance and alignment, Freedom for localized pain, REM for deeper sleep, Peace for stress and anxiety, Focus for cognitive tasks, Defend for immune support, Victory for athletic strength and recovery, Lumi for complexion, Kick It for habit interruption, and Flow for cognitive clarity. We also discuss how the patches are made (3M, medical-grade adhesive), water resistance, daily replacement, and why the Intellectual Property is protected like a trade secret rather than a patent.
Skepticism shows up alongside compelling demos and user stories, including a moving account from Steve’s family: pairing Liberty, Defend, and Flow appeared to restore moments of recognition with his mother during late-stage dementia, improving the quality of their time together. We dig into athlete adoption, university testing, and simple ways to run your own A/B tests—balance checks, stair climbs, sleep notes—so you can separate wishful thinking from meaningful change. If you’re curious about drug-free options for pain relief, better sleep, calmer days, and sharper focus, this conversation gives you practical ways to explore and decide for yourself.

Hey beautiful friend, it's Marnie and welcome back to the show. Today I wanted to share something with you that I stumbled into a little bit by accident. But as you know, here at the Life is Delicious podcast, I make a concerted effort to encourage and inspire you to live your very best life, to take your power back, and to take your health back. And I'm constantly on the lookout for natural ways to look and feel my best. Especially as I navigate menopause and this next golden chapter of my life. So when I bumped into this friend of mine, she told me about this new product and technology that she had been using to reduce pain in her joints, and she has been getting some great results. And to be honest, I will make a little disclaimer here that what we're gonna talk about today is gonna sound a little bit crazy and way too good to be true. So when I stumbled on this company, it's called Superpatch, I was super intrigued because there is no drugs in it, there is no chemicals, there's no food, there's no side effects, and I was just like, wow, you know what? I can get on board with that. So I've been using them for myself for a little while. And so I thought maybe we should go to the heart of the source. And I called a friend of mine, Steve Schultz, who is the vice president of operations at the Superpatch Company, and he is going to talk to us today about what Superpatch is, how it came to be, and how it just might change your life. So if you're open to learning about drug-free ways that you can enhance your life, stick around because you're not gonna want to miss this. Welcome to this episode of Life is Delicious. I'm Marnie Martin, and I'm so glad you're here. And if this is your first time here, welcome to the Life is Delicious Family. This podcast isn't about surviving midlife, it's about crafting your next chapter life, overflowing with purpose, joy, and delicious possibilities. Listen, midlife doesn't have to be a crisis, it can be a beautiful invitation to remember who we are, to rediscover a new version of ourselves, or to completely reinvent our life to reflect who we are becoming now. So if you're tired of being exhausted, living life on autopilot and putting everyone else first, then you are in the right place. Each week we'll bring you thought-provoking ideas and practical strategies as well as inspiration to help you prioritize yourself again. It's time to take back your joie de vive. So grab a notebook and pen and pop in those earbuds and let's go get it. I don't know about you, but for me and a lot of my friends, I noticed that we are all just a little more sober curious than we used to be. And if you haven't met me, I am a true wine lover. And I still love to drink wine. But as we get older, our bodies just don't metabolize alcohol as effectively as they used to. And for me, I'm really trying to be a bit more mindful of what I'm putting in my body. So I recently discovered Kenshocktails. They are delicious, premium, non-alcoholic, and ready-to-drink cocktails that are crafted by the RSRV Collective. And I love that the meaning of Kensho is self-discovery in Japanese. And it really reflects the brand's dedication to crafting cocktails with the nuance of traditional mixology while remaining gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, low in calories, and free of alcohol. Kensho cocktails were recognized by BevNet as one of the best 2023 non-alcoholic beverages. They're crafted with premium botanicals, natural citrus, and spices. And each cocktail offers a distinct and sophisticated experience. Botanica is inspired by gin and tonic, orana mimics the best of an old-fashioned, and Amari channels an Italian apertif. These ready-to-drink beverages can be found at www.rsrvcollective.com. And my listeners get an exclusive 30% discount. Be sure to use my special link, Delicious2025, to get 30% off your purchase.

I'm so grateful to have you here on the Life is Delicious podcast.
SPEAKER_01:Marnie, it is so good to be with you, and I love the name of your podcast. Life is Delicious.
SPEAKER_00:Well, you know what? I just felt like it fit my life.
SPEAKER_01:Perfect. Perfect.
SPEAKER_00:So I'm super curious. Um, of course, I stumbled on this company super patch kind of organically. I have a girlfriend that was using the patch for herself. She was, I think she was using the Liberty, and um she got some amazing results, so she shared it with me. So tell me and maybe inform our listeners, how did you get involved in this company and why why did were you drawn to the mission of this particular project?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it's kind of a kind of a crazy story. Um I have been in the the networking industry for 35 years, and we've had a lot of success in those 35 years. Uh, we built huge, huge teams of people. And listen, companies come and go. And you know, companies have left me inside this industry, but I never blamed the industry. I always blamed the company. And so when, you know, I we'd have a time when the company would leave me, let's say, I was out, I would, I would be looking. I said, well, I'm still gonna stay in this industry because it's so powerful. And I did. You know, I've been in this industry for 35 years, full-time for 33 of those 35 years. And it was three and a half years ago when I got a random phone call. I got a I looked at my phone and my caller ID said Toronto. And I'm like, okay, well, I know a bunch of people in Canada, but they're all in my contacts. And for whatever reason, I decided to answer the phone, and it was this gentleman by the name of Jay Dollywall. And Jay is the founder and the CEO of the Superpatch company. And Jay introduced himself to me and I said, Jay, first of all, how did you even know to call me? He said, Well, I was talking to a friend of yours. He was telling me about your success in the industry, and and he said, Steve, I need your help. And I said, Jay, what do you need? And he said, I want to tell you a little bit about my company, and I want to know if you'd be interested in helping me build it. And I said, Jay, what do you do? And Marnie, he started to explain to me the concept of these patches. And I'll I'll kind of just give you the short version of this, but he said to me, he said, Steve, I invented a patch. And he said, It's a small little patch, it's only two inches by two inches. But the uniqueness of this patch is that there's nothing on it. There are no drugs, no stimulants, no supplements, no vitamins, no chemicals, no ingredients whatsoever. And he said, the only thing that's on this patch is a pattern, and the pattern has ridges. And when those ridges come in contact with your skin, the receptors in your skin can read the pattern like a QR code, and it sends a message back to your brain to fix things. And he he continues to tell me, he said, I've got a patch to help people with balance, stability, and range of motion. I've got one to help people deal with pain, I've got one to help people with sleep issues, I've got one to help people focus, one for stress and anxiety, um, one to help people burn more calories, I've got one for energy. And Marty, he started rattling off all these things that these patches can do. And I was sitting at my desk rolling my eyes.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I get it. I I said, I was sitting there thinking to myself, this dude is wasting my time. This guy's trying to tell me that all I have to do is put this little patch on my arm that has nothing on it, and my pain's gonna go away. I just said, there's no way. So I let him talk for a few more minutes, and I finally said, Jay, I said, This sounds amazing, but I don't get it. And he said, Can you come to Toronto? And I said, Yes. So he flew me to Toronto, and when I walked into his office, the first thing he said to me was, he said, Steve, I'm gonna prove to you how this technology works. And Marty, he chose his words very carefully because he didn't say, I'm gonna show you how this works. He said, I'm gonna prove to you how this technology works. He doesn't call it a product, he calls it a technology. Well, not only did he prove to me that it works, but it works instantly.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And that was the most amazing thing to me, Marnie, is that we've got something here where people don't have to wait, you know, 30 days to see if it works. We can prove that the technology works instantly. And I I just looked at Jay and I said, So what you're telling me then is that you have a drug-free, chemical-free solution for all of these issues? And he said, Yes. And I said, Jay, you've got something here that can change the world. And he smiled at me and he said, That's why I called you. And I said, Alright, buddy, let's go to work. And so that's how I got I'm in.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Well, it's fascinating to me because a lot of the people that listen to my show are in that sort of third chapter of life, and um they're dealing with injuries that they are maybe trying to recover from, or maybe they have some loss of mobility just from getting into a certain age demographic. Um, maybe they're waiting for surgery, and you and I both know, and you're waiting to have a hip replacement. Man, you're on all kinds of drugs that you don't want to be on anyway.
SPEAKER_01:Yep.
SPEAKER_00:You know, and then maybe you're going through menopause, or you're just retired and having a having to figure out how to renavigate the the daily life, right? And so there's so many things, and what I love about this patch uh the company is that it's for everybody, and there's something that can absolutely help help everybody. And and also, I'm a big proponent of I would like to do things as naturally as possible. So that's one of the reasons I wanted to have a conversation with you is because I think this is it could change the world.
SPEAKER_01:Well, there's there's no doubt about that, you know, and I think I think I think people are looking for a change. You know, I think I think because Marty, here's the world that we live in today. The world that we live in today is that there are people out there that we trust that are telling us, you need to take this drug, this drug, this drug, this drug, this drug, but you're also going to have to take this drug to offset the effects of this drug. And everybody goes, okay, and they just fill their counters up with prescription drugs without even thinking about the side effects. Well, all of that goes away. All of that goes away with the super patch. Now listen, we're not, we're not curing anything. Everybody's got to understand that we are not curing anything. I had a friend of mine, he called me up and he goes, hey, I got a friend who who's got cancer. And I said, dude, we are not curing cancer. But what I can help your friend with pain, I can help your friend uh sleep better, I can help your friend with stress and anxiety, completely drug-free, no side effects whatsoever. That's what we get to do. And when you tell people that, and this is this is my this is my go-to line. When people say, hey Steve, what are you doing these days? My go-to line is I say, I'm helping introduce a new technology to the world.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and it's it's fascinating to me too, because, and and you're so right about that, is that you know, you see these commercials on television, it's like, um, take uh allogenit again or whatever, and it may cause diarrhea and vomiting and vision loss, and people go, sign me up, you know, like I'll take that. You know, and you go, What?
unknown:What the heck?
SPEAKER_00:You know, like it makes no sense to me.
SPEAKER_01:Right. The problem is that if you watch a drug commercial on TV, or even if you listen to a drug commercial, if that commercial is 30 seconds in length, 15 seconds of that commercial talks about the side effects of the drug they're trying to sell you.
SPEAKER_00:And people still take it.
SPEAKER_01:They still take it. And the reason they take it is because they don't have any other alternative. They still have an alternative, and they're like, well, I guess I better do this. Well, my doctor said I better do this. It's like, eh, not necessarily. Because we we've we've got an alternative here.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and it's amazing. So that's that's one of the most exciting things about this company, and it's a Canadian company. But the tell us how the patches are actually made, because I know they're made in the USA, but um I think is it 3M that is the company?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And uh, if you if anybody's, you know, if anybody's had a chance to uh feel the patch and they actually, you know, try the technology out, you'll notice that there you can tell there's nothing on this patch, and it's just a pattern. And somebody asked me the other day, they said um they said, well, you know, how is Jay protecting this? How come other companies don't steal this technology? Um does Jay have a patent on this? And the answer is no, it's not patented because when you patent something, you have to give away your secrets. Coca-Cola is not patented. Kentucky Fried Chicken is not patented. Um how Jay protects this, it's intellectual property. And how he protects it is the same way that Walt Disney protects Mickey Mouse. And we are protected right now in 186 countries. And the company that makes all of our patches for us is 3M in Minneapolis, Minnesota. So it's a medical grade adhesive. There's no latex in the patches whatsoever. Um the patches are they're water resistant, which means you can swim with them, you can shower with them, you can exercise with them. All we're gonna ask people to do, just switch them out every 24 hours because at the end of 24 hours, the adhesive starts to wear off a little bit, the uh the pattern actually starts to wear down a little bit, making them a little bit less effective. But I want everybody to put their business caps on for just a second. That makes these patches a consumable product. Meaning people use these patches every single day and they're affordable. Um, and we're we're compliant, we're registered with the FDA.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's super fascinating to me that this is a product that actually can do so many different things. So let's let's talk a little bit about the patches themselves. Let's start with the one that is kind of the main one, and I don't know if this was the first one developed, but the uh Liberty Patch is one you said is everybody should be on that. So let's talk about Liberty and what it does.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, the Liberty Patch is the um, I I I say this is the main patch that everybody needs to wear. We have 14 different patches, and let me make it perfectly clear that you can wear all 14 of them at the same time. Marty, if you're a hot mess, you can wear all 14 of them at the same time.
SPEAKER_00:So I won't ever be that much of a hot mess.
SPEAKER_01:There you go. Um, not that you will wear all 14, but you can. And the reason you can wear all 14 at the same time is because each patch has a different pattern on it that sends a different signal to a different part of your brain so they don't short circuit one another. Now, the Liberty patch is the main patch. This is the patch that puts your body in homeostasis. This is the patch that we can do a little balance demonstration with that proves that the technology works instantly. As a matter of fact, when I walked into Jay's office, Jay Dolly Wall's office, he did this little balance demonstration with me where he was able to knock me off balance very easily. He put a Liberty patch on my arm, and then we redid the balance test and he couldn't even move me. And I just looked at him and I said, Come on, man. I said, How did you do that? Because obviously you're playing a trick on me. How did you do that? He goes, Take the patch off. So I took the patch off, we redid the balance test, and he tipped me right over. We put the patch back on, we redid the test, and he couldn't even move me. And I just looked at him and I said, Come on, man, how are you doing this? So, what I did, Marnie, is I went out into his customer service area and I grabbed a customer service agent and said, Here, you come in here and you do this test on me. I didn't want Jay to do it on me because he was doing it, I thought he's doing it in a way that it's going to work. So this little little customer service rep does the balance test on me and it worked exactly the same way. All right? And so it puts your body in perfect alignment. That's what this, that's what this, that's that's what the Liberty Patch does. And I've even had people say, hey, when I wear the Liberty Patch, my pain goes away. I've got pain in my knee or my shoulder, my elbow, and my pain goes away. And I always say, that's not our pain patch. The reason your pain is going away is because your body is in perfect alignment. And the example that I use is that if you're driving your car down the street, and if the car starts to pull to the right or to the left, the car's gonna wear out sooner than it should. Your car's out of alignment. Well, the exact same thing happens with our bodies. When our bodies get out of alignment, for whatever reason, pain occurs. And if we can put your body back into perfect alignment, automatically the pain goes away. And somebody said to me, they said, Well, I even have more energy when I wear the liberty patch. And I'm like, it's not our energy patch. The reason you're feeling more energy is because your body is working more efficiently, giving you the effect that you have more energy. So I always start with the Liberty Patch. I look at it like a like a pizza, okay? The crust is the Liberty Patch. Everybody starts with the crust, and that's the Liberty Patch, and then you can add toppings from there.
SPEAKER_00:Right. And that's pretty cool, actually. And I mean it sounds a little just like you're, you know, feeling the same way, it's a little too good to be true. But realistically, these little patches they do look exactly like a QR code, and they're very easy to wear. And I have on the Liberty and the Um Ignite patch right now, and I've been wearing them for a few weeks, and and it's amazing because I actually have not been doing much exercise. And uh I I started to get up on a chair to fill my hummingbird feeder, and I was like, Well, that was way easier than it used to be. I don't even know how that happened. And I went, wait a minute, that's probably and and I have a girlfriend who's actually she's the one that sort of turned me on to this, and she has had a ton of knee pain. She's waiting for some surgery, and she's got a cabin with like 60 stairs that goes down to the water. And she was like, I didn't even think about it. All of a sudden I went up and down that set of stairs like four times and went, I have no pain. Like, I don't even get it. So she told me about that, and I said, Well, I want to learn more. So yeah, it's pretty spectacular.
SPEAKER_01:It is the most unique product or or technology, like Jay calls it, that I've ever experienced in my 35-year career. And I was with a friend of mine, and uh he he had some pain in his shoulder, and I said, Just meet me. I said, I'll let me just show you what I'm doing. So we met for coffee, and I threw the Liberty patch on him, I did the balance test, and he's like, Oh my gosh. And then I said, Where's your pain? He said, My shoulder. So I put one of our pain patches on, which is the it's called the freedom patch, and then we just sat down. We just sat down and started talking. And within about five minutes, I saw him kind of like rotating his arm and just kind of like loosening up his shoulder. And I said, What are you doing? He goes, My pain's gone. I said, I know. And he looked right at me and he goes, placebo effect? I said, Is your pain gone? He goes, Yeah. I said, then you can call it anything you want.
SPEAKER_00:Exactly. And you know, that is one of the things I think that, you know, of course, we have to talk about is that if somebody believes something will work, it's much more likely to work. And it doesn't matter if it's a placebo, but I mean, I definitely understand, you know, what Jay has created here. And I think let's maybe talk about how he came to create this to begin with, because I know he has a pretty cool story.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you know, Jay tells this story everywhere that he goes, and you know, how this whole thing started was um when Jay was 12 years old, his mother was diagnosed with MS. And he and his family went to doctors all around the world to try to find answers, and they couldn't give him any answers. And Jay said, as a young boy, he was 12 years old. Jay said to himself, he said, I'm gonna figure this out someday. Well, a little bit later on in life, Jay started studying brain mapping. Now, throughout the course of his study, he ran across the research paper done by a couple of guys uh from Columbia University, and this was way back in 1939, okay? And these two gentlemen put this research paper together, and what they concluded was that every single cell in our body can send and receive signals. And that was the extent of their research. That was the extent of that research paper. Now, these two guys were no slouches because they later went on to win a Nobel Prize because these two gentlemen invented the MRI. Now, so Jay said, All right, if every single cell in our body can send and receive signals, why can't I figure out the correct signal to send? And Marnie, he did it. He did it. Now, he'll be the first one to tell you that he said, Listen, I'm I'm not curing any disease. I haven't cured MS. But he said, I'm helping with the effects of it. And like I said with my friend who had cancer, I'm like, I'm not curing cancer, dude, but I can help with a lot of the symptoms that go along with it.
SPEAKER_00:Right. So you're mitigating the symptoms and the pain and just making it more comfortable to get through that process.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, exactly right. Exactly.
SPEAKER_00:And drug-free, which is, I think, amazing. And that's what I love about the patches, is there's no side effects. So if this we're gonna talk about all the different patches that are available just because there's truly something for everyone. But honestly, if it's something that is moves you and you feel passionate about just giving it a shot, there are no side effects. There's nothing to lose. So the only thing you have to lose is your pain or your anxiety or your immobility. So it's definitely worth having a look at for sure. So let's go through the other patches. Um, let's um let's talk about Boost.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, Boost is uh our number one selling patch right now. Boost is um Boost, uh, we launched this in December of 2024, I think it was. And uh it became our number one patch very, very quickly because Boost is our energy patch. Now, the energy drink market is a$73 billion year.
SPEAKER_00:It's just crazy. It's crazy.
SPEAKER_01:You know, and and I don't I know I don't have to tell you guys this because when you walk into any convenience store, the coolers are filled with Red Bulls and monster energies and five-hour energies. And you know, though those products will give you that instant burst of energy, but it will give you the crash as well. And so I tell people all the time, I said, how would you like to get the the you know get that burst of energy that you would get from one of those products without any of the side effects?
SPEAKER_00:And for 24 hours.
SPEAKER_01:And for 24 hours, yeah, and and for half the cost. For half the cost with no side effects whatsoever. So Boost is a big, big product for us.
SPEAKER_00:That's amazing. Okay, and then we have Lumi.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, Lumi is um this one is crazy. I I I I need everybody to um you know get together with somebody who's actually involved with superpats so they can show you the before and after pictures of people who wear Lumi, and this is one to help with your complexion. And the before and after pictures, that and listen, I'm so transparent, I they don't even seem real. It's like, what? This she's been wearing or he's been wearing this patch for one hour, and his skin or her skin looks like that with no side effects, no drugs whatsoever. So it's a patch to help your complexion. It just gives you this natural glow as you move throughout your day. It's to be honest, Marnie, I wear that patch every single day because I'm not taking any chances. I'm not getting any younger.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, exactly. Me neither. Right, right. Yeah, for sure. Okay, so um let's talk about victory because there's some pretty spectacular stats with the victory patch.
SPEAKER_01:Well, yeah, and the victory patch is very similar to Liberty. Okay, victory and liberty are very similar, but the victory patch also provides balanced stability and range of motion, but it also includes strength, endurance, power, and faster recovery time. And so athletes, anybody who's active is wearing the victory patch. And we have got you know professional athletes in all major sports, including the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, the Professional Golf Association, we've got um athletes at the collegiate level that are all wearing our victory patch. And the reason, in fact, the University of Arizona, the University of Arizona uh football team, they did their own study on the on the victory patch and compared their athletes wearing the technology and not wearing the technology, and the results are staggeringly good. And now they are out telling other universities about this this study. But the reason that these world-class athletes are wearing our victory patch is because it works and it gives them an edge. And none of these world-class athletes are gonna put anything in their bodies or even on their bodies if they think they're going to be uh suspended or even fined by their leagues. And so that is another great. And I I I tell this in my presentations, I said, listen, if you are a world-class athlete or if you are a world-class dog walker, you need the victory.
SPEAKER_00:Totally. And you know what's interesting is when you're at that level, it is, it's like that 1%, right? Is what's gonna make the edge and the difference between winning or losing, right?
SPEAKER_01:No doubt about it. No doubt.
SPEAKER_00:That's amazing. Okay, freedom is another one that's massively popular and probably something everybody could use at some point or another.
SPEAKER_01:It's our paint patch. It's our paint patch. Instead of reaching for Tylenol or aspirin or ibuprofen, it's like just put a paint patch on. And just put the patch as close to the source of pain as you can. And you you don't need you don't need more than one. Just just put it on. And this patch reacts differently. All of our patches react differently with everybody, but like my friend, within five minutes, his pain was he told me that his pain went from an eight to about a two in five minutes. With no side awesome. Yeah, so the the freedom patch is our pain patch.
SPEAKER_00:That's super cool. Okay. The other one that I know a lot of my listeners for sure are gonna get some value from is the REM patch. Let's talk about that.
SPEAKER_01:Six billion people in this world have trouble sleeping at night. And they're reaching for drugs and medication to help them sleep at night, um, including melatonin. And melatonin is not good. It is not good. And we can help people have an incredibly well-rested sleep at night by simply wearing the REM patch. You put this REM patch on about 30 minutes before you go to bed, and you take it off when you wake up, and you will feel incredibly refreshed. Now, some people, it works the very first night they try it. Other people, they had to try it three, four, five, six nights in a row, and all of a sudden they're like, oh my gosh, I can totally feel the difference. But if you're having trouble sleeping, as six billion people do um in this world, then you need to try the REM patch. Just try it. Just give it a try.
SPEAKER_00:Well, sleep and you know, not getting enough sleep is a huge factor in all kinds of other diseases and you know things that we have to deal with. So sleep's a massive piece of this puzzle for sure. The one that I find I think actually will change the world in a in a huge way, not that all the rest won't, but the peace patch has a huge impact for mental health. So let's talk about that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I it really does. I mean, 2.4 billion people in the world suffer from stress and anxiety. And whether it's you know, listening to what's going on in the political world today, in both of our countries, by the way, um and you know, it maybe stress at work, financial stress, the peace patch is is one of those patches that it is changing the way people live their lives every single day. And I've had experience where people who are very, very stressed out, and I'll I'll get them one of these patches and I'll put it on them. And literally within minutes, you can just Just see them calm down. Everything just becomes calmer and slower. We just slow things down. And that's what the Peace Patch is all about. When I when I do my public speaking engagements, there's no way I'm walking on that stage without the Peace Patch. Because as soon as I put it on, I just feel this calmness come over me, and it helps me deal with literally any situation. And that is what that's that Peace Patch is doing for literally millions of people around the world.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I think that's a game changer. 100%. Yeah. Now, focus is one I just literally gave to my dad, and I know this is one. Tell us a little bit about what it is. I know that it's for you know memory and just cognition, but let's talk about that one.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I mean that's that's uh we have a ton of students that are that are wearing uh the focus patch to get them through their their days at school. You know, the the average attention span for a college student today is two and a half minutes. That's it.
SPEAKER_00:I know it's nuts. It's nuts. Well even for us. It's really crazy. Like I don't know about you, but I know my attention span is way shorter. I used to love to sit and read books, and now it's like I don't have the patience for that anymore. I want to listen to something and get the quick hit, you know? Like that's just how we're hardwired.
SPEAKER_01:And that's that's that's because I think it's because of social media. I have such a love-hate relationship with social media. You know, social media keeps us connected, but it also divides us big time. And and on social media, you see these quick bits of information. And I think that's the world that we're living today. People want to see quick little you know, bits of information because we don't have the attention span, because we're able to just scroll and scroll. I call it doom scrolling.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and you it is, right?
SPEAKER_01:And all of a sudden you you catch yourself and you go, oh my god, I've been looking at TikTok or Instagram for an hour and a half now. It's like, oh my gosh, get a life. Um what the but what the focus patch will will allow you to do is focus on a specific task. You know, a lot of people during tax season, it's like, no, I gotta get my taxes done. And they're putting focus patches on along with their liberty. Everybody's always wearing liberty. Um, so liberty and focus, and it helps people with specific tasks. And a lot of kids, a lot of parents are are making sure that their kids are wearing this, you know, throughout their school day.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and I I've put it on my 86-year-old dad because he's he has trouble focusing on specific tasks sometimes, or he forgets what he was supposed to be doing five minutes ago. No doubt. And uh so we're just we're just trying it out, and I think it's gonna be a great help to him.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, no question.
SPEAKER_00:And then there is the Defend.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. This is a patch that I never take off. Um, Liberty and Defend are two patches that I wear religiously. Every 24 hours, I put new ones on. Yes, Liberty is the pizza crust. Defend is the sauce. That's the pizza sauce. And what Defend will do, it will help build your immune system. And that is always a good idea. And so I I've I've seen people um with you know bad allergies put this defend patch on and boom, everything clears right up. And I just said, I'm not taking any chances. I wear liberty and defend pizza crust, pizza sauce every single day because I want my immune system as strong as I possibly can get it.
SPEAKER_00:That's fantastic. And I do have a friend that is trying to quit smoking. So let's talk about the kick and patch, because that's I know massive for people trying to remove whatever vices there in their world.
SPEAKER_01:And that's really what it is. What kick it will do is it will help you eliminate your bad habits. Now, when I say that, everybody's gotta determine what their bad habits are, okay? Because I'm not talking about just smoking and drinking and gambling. I'm not talking about just those. Biting your nails. Yeah, biting your nails, the home shopping network, um, addicted to social media. All right? I mean, whatever you want to kick in your life, this patch will help will help you do that. And it it's it's it really is an amazing process because this is this is how it works. You've got an intention, okay? You've got an intention, okay? You sit back and say, okay, I need to go do this, whatever that is, and then you have a thought and say, okay, I want to go do this, and this is how I'm gonna do it, and then you take action. So your in your intention is I need to go smoke. Well, the thought is I have to leave the building to go smoke, so you take the action to leave the building, walk outside, and you light up a cigarette, and then the repeated action creates a habit. Well, what the what the kicket patch will do, it interrupts the time between the thought and the action. Okay, you can think about, you know, wanting a cigarette, and you think, okay, I've got to go outside to do it, but right there, instead of taking action, something is disrupted where you don't actually take the action to do it. Now that's a little bit complicated, but that's kind of how the kicker patch works.
SPEAKER_00:That's cool. That's cool. Yeah. And hey, who doesn't need a little extra help when it comes to, you know, having some willpower?
SPEAKER_01:That's what I call it. I call it willpower. It's like, okay, this is that's the willpower patch.
SPEAKER_00:So tell me, um, is there a particular story that comes to mind for you of like an incredible situation of somebody that you've heard has had a massive impact from using the patches?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I will tell you uh a personal story real quick. I lost my mom um in August of 2024. She was 85 years old, and she was suffering with dementia and Alzheimer's. And my dad, you know, at the time was was 89 and he was taking care of her, and his mind is perfect. You know, his body's his body is shutting down, but his mind is perfect. And somebody who has Alzheimer's, it's life is easier on them than it is the people taking care of them. And I'll give you an idea. I mean, my dad was standing in the kitchen one morning, and my mom came out of the bedroom, and she looked at him and said, Who are you and what are you doing in my house?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's rough.
SPEAKER_01:That's a bad day. That's a really bad day.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Well, there was a time, you know, the my mom's disease was getting worse and worse and worse, and every time that I would see my mom, I would have to introduce myself to her.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Which is a really bad day, right? So I told Jay about this, and he said, I said, will these patches help my mom? And he said, Yeah. He goes, I want you to put liberty, defend, and flow on your mom every single day. Now, this is right when we first started these patches, okay? And you know, I was very, very new to the company, and so I took Liberty, Defend, and Flow. Uh, and flow is for cognitive decline. It helps with memory, it helps with um decision making, and it helps your brain coordinate information. So it's like, okay, that that's a pretty good patch to have, too.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So I said, Dad, I said, I have no idea if this is gonna work, but I want you to put these three patches on mom, and I want you to replace them every 24 hours. And let's just see.
SPEAKER_00:So dad have nothing to lose at that point, right?
SPEAKER_01:So my dad agreed to that, and he called me three days later, and he said, Hey, your patches are a miracle. I said, What do you mean? He goes, Your mother's totally different. I said, What do you mean? He goes, she can remember things. Wow. And from that day to the day that I lost my mom was about a little more than a year. But every single time that I saw my mom, she knew who I was.
SPEAKER_00:Well, that's a gift right there.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I'm like, people can say what they want about these patches, and like stories, st these stories are real. They're real. And and the stories are incredible. Did it save my mom? Hell no. But it gave her a great, a better quality of life in the time that she had left. That's what it was.
SPEAKER_00:And it gave it also gave you and your dad and your family a better quality of life. Like, what a gift. What a beautiful gift that is. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. That's a great story. Thank you for sharing that with me. Yeah. Gosh. Well, it's been such a pleasure to talk to you, and we could talk for hours about all of the good things, but I know. We'll do this again for sure. But um, for anybody listening, is there any last words that you want to say just to encourage them to maybe check this out?
SPEAKER_01:Well, I I I want people to realize that what they're hearing here right now sounds crazy. It sounds um a little bit unbelievable and it sounds a little bit silly because it's new. And there was a time when people thought electricity was crazy. There was a time when people thought air travel was crazy. There was a time when people thought the automobile was crazy. There were people out there who said, there's nothing wrong with the horse and buggy. There are people out there who thought the internet was a fad and it's never going to last. Try living today without air travel, without electricity, without your automobile, without your cell phone, and without the internet. All items that people thought were crazy and would never happen. I put these patches in that exact same category. Everybody who's listening here right now, you are getting information, and basically it's the equivalent of you holding the very first cell phone, and you know how powerful that cell phone is and what it can do, and you know that everybody wants it. Everybody's going to want one of these phones, and you have the ability to go out there and tell them about it. That is exactly where you are sitting right now with these patches. Because the world wants it, the world needs it, but the world doesn't even know that it exists. So, Marty, that's why I'm here after 35 years of building in this profession, because this is an incredible opportunity that the world has been waiting for. And we have the we have the ability to deliver it to them.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and that's amazing because you know we're in we're living in a time right now where people are tired of the big pharma and all of the things that go along with that, and being able to have some choices, you know, and being able to uh take a little bit of control back of our own health and well-being, which I know a lot of my listeners are on board with. So thanks again, Steve. This has been so great.
