Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:07

Hey, hey, everybody! It's John Murphy or Make 100 Healthy Guy, along with Sweet Angel Cecilia. And we are so proud to bring to you another episode of the Make 100 Healthy Club, the club everyone wants to be in to be live to 100 with health, happiness, and purpose. How are you, Cecilia?

SPEAKER_03 0:28

John, I am again. It's just a sunshine day and it's blue sky, and I have my health. That's all that matters. If you got your health, you've got everything.

SPEAKER_04 0:38

So I just want to let everyone know we are recording live from Cast 11 Studios, and we want to thank our sponsors, Dignity Health, Finley Subaru, Blind Brothers, Arizona, Olson's Grain, Waters Garden Center, Visiting Angels, Make 100 Healthy, Silver Sands Recovery, and many more that we'll talk about a little later. Wow, Cecilia, we got a lot going on in this world. We are in Arizona, and it's March when we're taping. So you might see this in April, but it was 88 degrees outside. So we have a full-blown summer already. Things are blooming. As long as we don't get another frost, we'll be good.

SPEAKER_03 1:21

And you know, John, my family, my kids and my grandkids, they live in Phoenix. It's 103, 105.

SPEAKER_04 1:28

You know, I do real estate, and uh I said, I'm a good sales guy, but there's two better sales forces than me. Uh out in California, it's Gavin Newsom. And uh here it's the heat in the valley. All of a sudden, around this time, people call up, they go, We want to, we want to be cool in Prescott. And so uh uh come on up and enjoy the show. So, Cecilia, you uh have a new toy.

SPEAKER_03 1:52

Yes, I do, John. You know, one of the things that you and I talked about is how can we, you know, live to be a hundred, and but how do we take care of ourselves? And one of the easiest things, at least for me, to do, and I've been doing it for years, is walking. Of course. How simple is it to walk? You just go out your front door and you walk. To me, it just seems simple. But the other thing is you've got to have a good pair of shoes.

SPEAKER_04 2:17

That's true. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

SPEAKER_03 2:21

And so, you know, you can go on to any website, you can Google and you can look up any brand, you can do all of that. That's fine. However, you have to have a good fit, and you really need to know a lot about your foot. And a lot of us don't. I mean, we just get out there, we get a pair of shoes, and you know, we put them on, and then we go walking. But I found a place downtown, and evidently they're a national chain, okay, and they're called Fleet Feet. Fleet Feet. Yeah, I don't know if you've ever heard of them.

SPEAKER_04 2:53

Sounds very nimble to me.

SPEAKER_03 2:56

And so they're downtown, and I found them. I went downtown and I went into the store, and they were absolutely amazing. Now what's their names? They played with my feet, John.

SPEAKER_04 3:08

Don't tell your husband, I won't.

SPEAKER_03 3:11

It is called Fleet Feet.

SPEAKER_04 3:13

Not foot fetish.

SPEAKER_03 3:14

Not foot footage. And so they they, you know, they measured my foot, they looked at the length, they looked at the width, and then they sat down and they said, okay, do you do you do running? Do you do walking? What type, you know, what do you do? Well, my family every year, and I think I've told you this, John, we go down to Tempe, Arizona, and that's where Pat Tillman has the big race to raise money for the Pat Tillman Foundation. There's great cause. Great cause. There's usually 25 or 30,000 walkers and runners and what have you. So I was telling them that I've done that for probably now 15 years with my family. My sons, my grandkids, we all do this every year, and that's coming up in April. And so um I explained all of this, and so they said, okay, you really don't need a running shoe, but you need a good, solid locking shoe. With support, with a cushion. Yeah, do you want to see it? Sure, come on. Well, there it is, right there. Oh, new balance. And I can tell you they're new balance.

SPEAKER_04 4:12

You can do the side view too.

SPEAKER_03 4:13

I don't know if I can hold it up. But anyway, the thing that's exciting about this is that with the new balance, and I didn't realize this, with over 75 years of American craftsmanship. They're not made over in Tokyo or China, Taiwan. New balance made in the United States.

SPEAKER_04 4:33

In the USA, baby, to celebrate our 250 years.

SPEAKER_03 4:35

It's designed without compromise. This pair represents our unwavering commitment to those who walk their own path.

SPEAKER_05 4:44

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

Isn't that, and I just thought, you know what, that is so what we're trying to do, John. We're trying to tell people, you know, we're trying to inspire people that, you know what, you walk your own path. But if you're going to walk your own path, make sure you get a good pair of shoes. And I I've never had a pair of shoes that fit as good as these.

SPEAKER_04 5:06

That's wonderful. Well, you know what? Keep on walking and keep on moving. And as you know, movement matters. And coming up a little while in our movements matter section, I've got a great friend, Mike Machowski, who is a really uh great inspiration for those of you who maybe think uh I'm too old to do something to improve my life. Well, he's gonna prove that wrong. So, of course, we want to invite you to go online and enjoy our club, make100healthy.com forward slash club. And we have uh lots of industry uh motivational um uh messages. We have recipes. Uh we're actually working on our cookbook, our Make 100 Healthy Cookbook. We're working on that.

SPEAKER_03 5:51

And uh so we're just And it doesn't matter what age you're in your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, 70s, 80s, 90s, it doesn't matter. It's just you've got to have inspiration, and that's what we're trying to do.

SPEAKER_04 6:04

Well, you know, uh age is really partially um, you know, time, but mostly it's mental. And you aren't just only what you uh eat, you're also what you think. And if you think you can do it, you can do it. We talk about the story of Roger Bannister. I said it before in a show, but it's worth repeating. For those of you who don't know who Roger Bannister was, he was a long distance, well, he was a runner, and uh he was one of the guys that was trying to break the four-minute mile. And all the pundits and the newspapers were all saying it's physically, humanly impossible for anybody to break the four-minute mile. Well, once once Roger Bannister did it, guess what? 20, 30, 40, 50, so many people have done it since. So what you think about what you can do really sometimes dictates what you actually do.

SPEAKER_03 6:56

You know, John, and I and I think I've said this before, but my husband has been a marathon runner for years. And one of the things that he told me, I thought it was interesting, of course he had to train. I mean, he was training downtown Prescott, he was running up and down the streets, and he'd go three, four, five hours, you know. But he did tell me that, like you said, up here in your brain. He said that when he got to the 17th mile of the 26 miles, it was all mental after that. He said, the body starts to break down. You've got to use this up here to get you to those 26 miles.

SPEAKER_04 7:31

We are a mind, body, spirit beings. We're electrical beings and we're frequency beings. And, you know, all these things that we talk about on the show, these are some of the best practices, but they are also just useful tips. Walking doesn't cost anybody anything. Uh, you get outside, you're breathing the fresh air, you're moving your body, you're keeping your joints uh limber because you're lubricating them as you go. So I I'm really proud of you.

SPEAKER_03 7:59

And you know, well, thank you, John. And and and even at my office, visiting angels, all of my team, I've told them, I want to see you all in tennis shoes. I don't want to see you in high heel shoes or anything. Come to work, have your tennis shoes on. And then during the day, after an hour or two working on the computer, I want them out that front door at least 15, 20 minutes. Breathe because you taught us how to breathe, John. I'm teaching my team, you know, my team how to breathe. But everybody goes out that door for 10, 15, 20 minutes every day, two or three times a day.

SPEAKER_04 8:34

Well, I just want to say a big shout out to all the visiting angel caregivers that Cecilia is really a great role model, and she's an example of a loving soul that takes care of people. And so I know that we have a large audience of visiting angel caretakers, and we thank you from our heart for being part of our show. Join the club, uh, you know, be inspired. You know, one thing people think is that they're all alone. And guess what? We're all the same, we all want the same things. You're never alone. And if you want to be part of our family, again, go to make100healthy.com forward slash club. And one of the things, you know, we say we want to live to 100. Make 100 healthy. It's a goal, it's nice. If I live to 98 and I've had 98 good years, I would sign that contract now.

SPEAKER_03 9:24

Right.

SPEAKER_04 9:24

Of course, I want to renegotiate it at 97. But I'm saying it's not the length of years, it's the quality of your life. You don't want to be hooked up to machines and so uh with that being said, I had uh in our Heart of a Matter segment, holy mackle, I almost I almost died this weekend.

SPEAKER_03 9:46

I mean I know that sounds dramatic, but seriously, you could have, John. It was that close. You're talking that close, right?

SPEAKER_04 9:53

So uh on Saturday mornings at our Prescott Food Forest at Bee Organic Farm, uh, I teach the gardening classes, and I love doing it. And we have about 20 people in our our class, and hey everybody, um they're doing great, and they're learning everything about gardening from picking the location, the seed selection. Uh right now we're actually putting the seeds in. We're just transplanted some tomatoes, which are wonderful. I'll send some uh uh images to Tony, but uh I'm on the gardening bed and it's about a two-foot raised bed, and then there's an aisle, and then there's another raised bed, and it's a cinder block frame. So on top of that is the dirt and the and the and the uh vegetables, and I like to have music when people come into the class, even though we're in a greenhouse. So I reach up and I put on the speaker and I'm on the bed, and I go to, I just step back a second, and my heel hits the top, the bottom of the you know, the cinder block. And I just went like this, straight back. So it was, I had no control. I put my arm back, in fact, it still hurts, and my wrist, but I landed hard, and it was great, it was dirt. It was, it was, it was compacted dirt, but it wasn't cement. Sure. I looked up and the garden bed with the cinder block was about this far away from my head.

SPEAKER_03 11:17

You could have hit the back of your neck.

SPEAKER_04 11:18

If I would have hit the back of my hand, I could have severed my spine, I could have, you know, had a uh a you know, broken skull, I could have died. And that's not being dramatic because I'm okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:28

Right.

SPEAKER_04 11:28

But it just makes you realize how precious life is.

SPEAKER_03 11:32

Things can change in a second. Like in a second.

SPEAKER_04 11:35

By the way, it could change for the bad and it can change for the good, so never give up. But anyway, I was laying there on the ground and I was thinking, how lucky am I that I'm not taller? I always wanted to be taller. But if I was six inches taller, you wouldn't be doing the show solo.

SPEAKER_03 11:55

Well, and you know, John, I didn't tell you this. When I say I leave my office and I go for a walk because we're at the crossings, if you go on Clearwater, there is this beautiful bridge that you can walk under. It's beautiful. And I try to do that, but I didn't tell you, I had something similar happen to me. And if it the garbage people that pick up the, you know, recycle and the garbage and everything, they put those two big cans down on the sidewalk. And so, and it was before I got these new shoes. That's why I went and got these new shoes. But I saw those garbage cans, and so I just tried to kind of get to my left so I wouldn't, you know, hit the garbage cans. My foot went off of the ledge of the sidewalk and I fell into these people's yards that had the big rocks and stuff. And I I I couldn't catch myself. And I went down and I was on my back, and I remember, you know, I was so shocked that I went down. I wasn't sure if I could get myself up. And so I laid there for like two or three years. On your location. And so we could have been, nobody could have been on this show, you know.

SPEAKER_04 12:58

We're gonna run episode six again.

SPEAKER_03 13:01

Yeah, but it I think that is what propelled me to go out and get some really good shoes.

SPEAKER_04 13:06

You know, well, you know, uh, these, I don't think, even if I had been a world-class athlete in top you know training condition, when your heel hits something and and I was up two feet plus my body weight, I was going over. The momentum was going over. I didn't hit it hard. I just bumped into it and it was woof. And when people came in, I'm laying on the ground and they're like, Are you okay? I'm like, I think I am.

SPEAKER_03 13:33

Yeah. I kept I kept waiting for people that were driving down the, you know, driving down the road. I thought, wouldn't they see like a little old lady laying on her back? Isn't somebody gonna? I felt like a turtle. I thought, isn't somebody gonna come and help me? And of course, nobody did, so I did roll over.

SPEAKER_04 13:49

So that takes us to our next segment. Take a deep breath. I mean, I gotta tell you, I need to take my own advice because I'm wearing so many hats right now. I am running and gunning. So are you. But we have to literally stop and smell the roses. Uh, you know, a lot of times when we are in the rush of things and we have deadlines and we have to be somewhere, we all experience something called shallow breathing.

SPEAKER_06 14:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:19

Shallow breathing is when you actually aren't breathing at all for like 20, 30 seconds, and all of a sudden you go, oh my God, I gotta breathe. But people do that all the time because stress really constricts your airflow and your, you know, your arteries and your veins. And so I really want to ask you at home and Cecilia, take a deep breath. Take through your nose. And I know we talk about this, but people don't breathe properly, and they were never taught. It should be a class in school, really. It sounds simple, right?

SPEAKER_03 14:50

That and how to balance your checkbook, those two things.

SPEAKER_04 14:52

That's true, and how to eat real food. But you know, one of the ways that uh I calm myself down, I just before the show, to get ready, I just you do that 10 times, you will physiologically change your perspective. You give your uh brain and your head and your lungs oxygen. And every morning when I take my steam shower, I do at least 30 deep breaths, and then I do intermittent hypoxia, which is where you actually hold your breath purposefully, and that releases endorphins and and stem cells are created in your brain. You can literally reverse dementia in Alzheimer just by using good breathing techniques.

SPEAKER_03 15:40

Well, and I think too, John, it you can make it a habit just like anything else, like brushing your teeth. That's a habit. You know, you you know that when you get up, you're gonna brush your teeth. But since we've been doing this show, and you you explained to me why people like to smoke back in the 1920s and 30s because they took in that deep breath with all that smoke. But I have made it a habit now. When I'm at a stop sign, it's a habit. I take those deep breaths because I'm on the road a lot. Every time I stop at a stop sign, it reminds me take a deep breath.

SPEAKER_04 16:10

So one of the things that we really profess is that you don't have to do amazing gymnastics or to do binge diets or do anything radical. Because anytime someone uh does something, you know, like in a binge way, like 30 days, you could lose a lot of weight. But guess what? On the 31st day, when you're off the diet, you're gonna gain it right back. You know, there's a drug out there right now called, I think they call it, oh fuck it. I mean, it was epic.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

I mean, I'm so sorry. I was gonna say, I I don't think I've seen that one on TV.

SPEAKER_04 16:45

Well, that's when you really don't care anymore. So you you don't wanna you don't want to take care of your body, so you just take a pill. Yeah. Anyway, uh the point is that little incremental changes on a daily basis are what's gonna get you to live, first of all, a purposeful, happy, healthy life today. But you know, it's just like that duck gliding across the the pond. It looks graceful, but underneath those little fins are churning. That's what doing little things each day does cumulatively to create a great uh path, you know, platform for good health.

SPEAKER_03 17:22

And we don't have to be perfect, none of us are perfect. We do not have to be perfect, but if every day we try just one more thing, just something, you know, breathing at the stop sign, you know, going out for a little walk. Just, you know, try a few things like that.

SPEAKER_04 17:36

There you go. So anyway, um, when we come back, we right now we want to go to a clip of our third annual Rock the Garden Open charity golf event. It's happening at the club at Prescott Lakes. Uh, it's a benefit for the Prescott Food Forest and our Make 100 Healthy Foundation. We have over 100 golfers. We're a month away. Uh our sponsors in town have been amazing, and the the community support is wonderful. We're growing food. We have volunteers, we're gonna get into the food pantries.

SPEAKER_03 18:08

Prescott Lakes, isn't it? Club at Prescott Lakes. Beautiful golf course. Beautiful.

SPEAKER_04 18:12

Uh Tony, why don't you run the clip uh showing what happened last year? And we'll be back with our special guest, Mike Buchowski.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

That was very exciting.

SPEAKER_04 19:02

You know, before we bring Mike on, okay. Uh, because we just showed the Rock the Garden Open, and that is a fundraiser for our Make 100 Healthy Foundation that we are doing so much for gardening education and uh for feeding uh those that are in our communities that need it most, uh the food banks, the food pantries. So it's a full ecosystem of learning how to grow food, helping us grow the food. Keep some for yourself, but give some to those in need. And that's why this golf tournament, I'm so blessed that this is our third annual, bigger and better than ever. But it has inspired so many people to get involved. And so as we go into our Arlene's Angels Awards spotlight, they're not in the studio, and I'll tell you why in a second. But I want to show you my dad's business card. And it says live a loving life, be strong and courageous, do not be afraid. God is with you. Joshua 1 9, a gift from Arlene's Angels. Now there's no phone number, there's no email, there's no website. This is this was my dad's um his business card, and this is a T-box sign that we have out on our Rock the Garden Open. And so uh when uh when people want to donate to our cause, uh a lot of people want to be they want to be uh anonymous. And Dennis and Sheila Hampton, uh, you know, they gave me permission, but they are loving souls, they're members of the club at Prescott Lakes. And he says, John, he goes, I want to give you something. I want, I want to uh support what you're doing. I think what you're doing is God's work. He said that. And I and he says, Can I do a tea box sign? But I'd like to do something a little different than, you know, obviously I'm not a sponsor, I'm just an individual. He says, I'd like to have some tea box signs that you put out there. And I said, Absolutely, Dennis. So I'm gonna show you another one. This is what's going out, not by might nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord. Thank you to Dennis and Sheila Hampton for all your support. So they got uh they got a little notoriety, which they don't want. Sure, sure. But Dennis and Sheila, I want to thank you for your generous support of Make 100 Healthy, our Prescott Food Forest. And, you know, Dennis uh was a former NASA engineer, he's a smart guy. That's right. He I want to get him on the show because he's uh 83 and he's in the gym. You he is working out, he juices every day. He's like uh, you know, you always look for somebody older than you that you can be inspired by.

SPEAKER_03 21:45

Sure, look up to, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:47

That's right. And so uh he did that, and and Sheila is struggling with with Parkinson's, and so sometimes she has good days, sometimes she doesn't, but she's a wonderful artist, and uh every month they show. Love to us and support, and so we're grateful. You know, my mom Arlene was a loving person, she was the first person that taught me about gardening. She was a spiritual person. And so uh on Saturday before I almost died, uh, there's a couple um that are called Pat and Eileen uh Ellen Muncan. And they have a book out called Go Tell It to the World. And it's a spiritual, uh religion, not religious, but it's about spiritual saintly people. And they chose my parents uh uh for a chapter, and they asked for myself and my brothers and sisters to talk about our parents. So I was on a podcast, Go Tell It to the World. Uh maybe I'll put a clip uh in the notes.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

We're gonna remember the uh Arlene and John Murphy family and their legacy. John and Arlene were uh saintly people that we became friends with, and Arlene had a neurologic problem that is kind of like Lou Gehrig's disease that uh resulted in progressive paralysis, and uh her husband John was a real saintly man in terms of taking care of them, so and her, and so uh we just want to witness that love.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

This is the book she wrote is must read, especially for people who for children of divorce, yeah. That's right, for children of divorce. So what do you what do you who would go first? This is John and this is Laura, and they can introduce themselves since they're on first.

SPEAKER_04 23:36

The oldest and the youngest. Uh it's it's such an honor to keep my mom's legacy going.

SPEAKER_03 23:43

Or is it and what a role model your mom and dad must have been for you, John.

SPEAKER_04 23:47

I you know, when I was growing up, they were just regular people, and my dad was just, you know, kind of a rough, you know, do it, do it if I, you know, or else I'll get the belt down. I mean, the good old days. Um, this is my mom's book. It's called The Light of Love: Hope for Children of Divorce. This is my mom's legacy. She uh this is on Amazon, and uh, I guess they keep repl uh plenishing it and restocking it. It said there was one left, so I bought it because I wanted to get the last copy. Then the following week they go, there's 10 left. Marketing ploy.

SPEAKER_03 24:23

That's a marketing ploy.

SPEAKER_04 24:24

Anyway, uh, we really want to thank all the people in our community that reflect the grace of God. And my mom, who was just she lived the fruits of the spirit, and uh I miss her terribly, but you know, because she really wasn't a huggy, you know, kissy kind of person, she was more spiritual. I still feel connected to her.

SPEAKER_03 24:45

So well, and you and you, John, you've said before, Arlene's angels is really your dad.

SPEAKER_04 24:51

My dad is a caregiver. My mom was given six months to live, and she lived 14 more years. And it was totally because of my dad, totally because of the love. She was on a feeding tube, but he still got her teeth cleaned every couple of months. I mean, that's that's the kind of love he had. So uh, Dennis and Sheila, thank you for your support. And uh, we look forward to getting you on the show, and especially you, Dennis. I want to see you know flex your muscles out here on the show. And speaking of muscles, in our movement matters segment, we're gonna bring on Mike Machowski. Mike Machowski is a dear friend. Uh, he's a fellow uh Prescottonian and uh Club at Prescott Lakes member. And uh his story's quite exciting. I want to go and do a quick clip, and we'll have be right back with Mike in the studio. And we are here back in the studio with a very special guest. I call him a dear friend. He's an inspiration, and he's someone that I look up to because he's taller than me. No, because he's done so much work uh to build his life. Mike Mahouski, welcome, my friend. Thank you, John. It's good to see you. And uh I know when people see on camera, they're never gonna guess your age, but you can tell them so they don't have to guess. Uh 68, 69 in a few months. Wow. You you know you're looking great. And I know you for probably 10 years since we moved in, right? Exactly 10 years. Exactly. Happy anniversary. And Mike and I have become really great friends. Um, he uh is someone who really takes his his work and his uh life and his fitness very seriously. Mike, you've recently retired, didn't you? I did. And has that changed your life at all?

SPEAKER_05 26:50

Yeah, it has, but I I keep the same schedule. So I still wake up at 5:30, gym by six o'clock, since it's a non-negotiable part of the day.

SPEAKER_04 26:59

Well, let's talk about that. So this gives you a little more time to concentrate on you, though, right? Absolutely. And so tell us what your day looks like. And, you know, if you look at Mike, he doesn't look 68. He's in amazing shape, but it doesn't happen by accident. This guy works out two, three times a day. How many times a day? Two times a day, two times. Twice a day.

SPEAKER_05 27:20

So tell us about your fitness and regimen regimen. Sure. Um get up early. Every other day I do do weights. So I do uh heavy weights usually on the machines at the gym. And I go home, I have a bench, I have an exercise bike, I have weights there, and that's my alternate morning routine. On the other mornings, I do HIT classes. So uh alternate. High intensity. High intensity interval training. Wow. And so that's really good. I I like it because it's not just, you know, standing still and working on muscles. It is typically um lighter weights, but you're always off balance when you're doing them. Really good for core, really good for balance. Um, it's things I would never do on my own and muscles and mechanisms that I really can't access without class is leading led by someone else, you're just following along. Yeah. There there are, I do HIT classes at both the gyms I go to. And in addition to that, if you don't have access to a gym that has instructors, I I think you can get uh one of the instructors also teaches at the Y here in Prescott, but there are some online resources you you can do as well. So when my wife and I can't do a HIT class at in one of our gyms, we have Heather Robertson, who has a great YouTube channel with tons and tons of uh HIT classes that you can follow easily. And they include some that are high intensity if you can do that. They have low intensity if you don't have weights or equipment. She has classes for that as well. So good. Yeah. And I think you're going to include a uh link to that.

SPEAKER_04 29:07

We'll put that at the end of the credits, yes. Sure. Or we can put it uh uh snap it up top right now. So, Mike, uh all this exercise is really wonderful, but really the fuel that gives you the energy to do that diet is more than key, isn't it?

SPEAKER_05 29:28

Yeah, it really is. Well, okay, so so starting at the top, right? This is make 100 healthy. I think for longevity, there are there are three three pot three tripod legs, right? Okay. You have um genetics, yeah, which you can't really choose, right? You're a member of the Lucky Sperm Club or you're not. And the other two, though, are diet and exercise. And that's really all you have to work with. They did a number of studies with mice, and uh to take the genetics portion out, they're usually twins, and they break them into two separate sections. One one set of mice do they they have access to all the food they want, and they don't necessarily have to exercise. The other group of mice, they did uh intermittent diets, and typically they would reduce their food intake by about 30 percent, so calorie-restricted diets. Yep, yep. The mice that uh that had the calorie, and also they they forced them to exercise. The the exercise and calorie restricted group ended up living twice as long. Twice. Uh twice, double as those that had access to food continuously. Um and that's really big. And but beyond that, it was quality of life. They were more vigorous, not only did they live longer, even their fur um stayed dark and didn't turn gray for longer, right? And I I see that at the gym all the time. I mean, it's uh anecdotal, but I see people at the gym, the the men, I would say 70, 80 percent have a good head of hair at the gym, those that are regular, right, regular visitors. When I go to the Bar and Chill, our uh restaurant and bar um in our 55 plus community, it's more like you know, 50, 60 percent have hair. So you're saying it's all about movement and circulation. Yeah. And oxygen.

SPEAKER_04 31:25

And that's all helping with uh your hair follicles.

SPEAKER_05 31:28

Yeah, exactly. And your skin, right? I mean, you take a look at people who exercise, they tend to have a little better skin. I uh they they tend to have more blood, right? They have 10% more volume of blood in their bodies, which is significant, right? It carries the it carries the um oxygen and nutrients to to you know where it's needed, whether that's ripping muscles or whether it's pushing extra capillaries out to your skin, I believe, right? And everything I'm saying takes a total grain of salt. It's of course it's my opinion, my observations, and the consolidated opinion of a lot of um YouTube experts. Well, that no, we really appreciate it.

SPEAKER_04 32:09

And so uh, Mike, let's say someone is watching at home or listening, and they really are inspired by you, but they're like, I can't do that.

SPEAKER_05 32:21

What would you say to them? I would say it depends on what your goals are, right? You you okay, let's say body composition, right? Right. You your body composition, where your body stores fat, that's that's really genetic, right? If your mom stored fat in her hips, you're probably going to store fat in your hips. You can't change that. What you can change, which is entirely up to you, is how much fat you store. Right. You you don't have to store, you know, you can be down to 15% lean, you know, fat composition. So you choose completely.

SPEAKER_04 32:55

So heredity uh and genetics is, I heard, no more than a third of the total equation of health and longevity. Yes. Now, again, that's just a a gauge. But there's one uh one uh component that you didn't mention that is really, really something that we all deal with, and that's the environment. The the products we use, the air we breathe, the water we drink, uh the processed foods or unprocessed foods. So uh the detergents we use, they say that almost 100% of all men have microplastics in their testicles. I mean, I know it's funny, but you know I haven't checked lately. Well, you're half nuts anyway. But anyway, um now, Mike, besides working out and doing exercise, when you were working, you had a pretty high-pressure job, didn't you? I did. And did you go through a period of time where you kind of your stress level actually affected your physical health?

SPEAKER_05 33:54

I probably wouldn't have survived had I stayed there. I had uh eye twitches, I had heart murmurs, I gained a lot of weight. I had a uh one and a half hour commute each day and worked weekends. Um I was I was gone. I had to wake up at 4:30 in the morning. Wasn't natural. Wasn't natural. Didn't get home until 9 30 at night, wasn't getting a full night's sleep. I I I was on a path to self-destruction. So you you you course corrected, if you will. Yes, yes, sir. Made a lot less money. And I uh worked from home where I could uh I had workout equipment right there. Yeah. Every hour I take a five-minute break to exercise. Doesn't impact your productivity in the least. In fact, it probably increases it. Likely.

SPEAKER_04 34:43

So that that's also so you also had a health scare with cancer, didn't you?

SPEAKER_05 34:48

I did, yes.

SPEAKER_04 34:48

So you do you want to share that at all?

SPEAKER_05 34:50

Um sure. I had uh my nose, the bridge of my nose was starting to turn black. Wow. And uh I went to I'm not gonna say any names. I went to a dermatologist and they opined that it was simply um discoloration. If I bleached it, it would it would go away. Um I bleached it and it turned from a gray color to black, which was wasn't great. Um then I tried to get into a few different doctors. One one was um doing some analysis. Well, first off, they they take a biopsy and they send it off. And you know, another month later you you find out something, and then you have uh an appointment with the doctor three months out. It needs to be dealt with immediately, right? Right, right. So finally I had enough of that. I went to Mayo Clinic. I I got a really good dermatologist. They said, Yes, it is uh melanoma. And I said, How how soon could you operate, thinking it was going to be months like it was the other doctors even getting in to see them? She said, How about now? Um, so I went home two hours later with a piece of my neck uh replacing the bridge of my nose. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 36:01

Well, you look great, you look, I I would never know that you had anything, you know.

SPEAKER_05 36:05

If you look close, you can see it. But it it look at that, I look here.

SPEAKER_04 36:09

If I'm looking that close, your wife's gonna get me mad at me. That's right. Anyway, uh, Mike, another thing uh is embracing uh the joys and the hobbies of life. And uh I'm grateful to this guy because he taught me how to shoot guns. I I'm still not great, but uh you have a proud story to tell, right? Yes, I do.

SPEAKER_05 36:29

So John had never fired any firearm of any kind. Mm-hmm. I was a Jersey guy, did a lot of stuff there. So I I quarterly I have a bunch of guys out, all are very good competitive shooters, and they came out to shoot a multi-gun match. A lot of guys who do shooting don't shoot multi-gun because it's the deep end of the pool. You have to use a pistol, you have to use a rifle, and you have to use a shotgun. And you use them all on the same stage as a fire, anywhere from arm's length out to 350 yards. And John, who had never fired any firearm at all, had to learn three separate platforms, an AR-50, a semi-automatic pistol, and a semi-automatic shotgun. And uh learning any one of them and being proficient in it in a few days is almost impossible. So John actually, and I have friends who didn't compete, even though they're competitive shooters, because it is sort of complex. Yes, exactly. So John did compete, and what I was what we were all worried about was uh disqualification. Which happens all the time. Which is easy to do when you're running around with three different firearms shooting from different positions, going forward, backward, sideways, and you always have to keep the muzzle downrange. You have to ground your weapon properly with the safety on. All of those things. So John didn't get disqualified. He came in last, but he did a credible job. He he finished all of the stages, and he he he stepped so far out of what would be most people's comfort zone, and he did a great job. I had a great teacher in you.

SPEAKER_04 38:16

I was probably too stupid to realize the magnitude of what I was trying to do. But uh coming in last doesn't bother me because that's why I didn't get disqualified. I wanted to do things right. I didn't want to rush through them. I knew I wasn't gonna win. So, what was the point of rushing through it? But thank you. We got to go out shooting again. And Mike and I go out. We've been out the last couple of weeks. We went downtown and great music scene here in Prescott. We're at the Whiskey River Tavern. One of our sponsors is um Prescott now, and Lori Fisher was a guest at our show, and uh she owns that place. And man, it was rocking. How great was that afternoon?

SPEAKER_05 38:54

The dude was awesome. The band was absolutely awesome.

SPEAKER_04 38:57

Pell and blues? I can't recall. Pell and blues, I think. Great band. Thank you guys. So, Mike, uh part of the reason that we have this show is to give people a plan, okay? To give people an idea of how they can get started. So if you were going to start over and you weren't where you are now, what would be the order of things that you suggest someone should do, or how should they go about building up their strength and their stamina?

SPEAKER_05 39:28

Yeah, strength and stamina are certainly two of the pillars, right? I mean, you have to you have to get started. So even if it's walking, if you can't, so what I like to do is I like three different types of exercise. I like strength training. I think it's very good for your bones. It's good for your physique, right? You can gain muscle, and muscle burns fat more quickly than you know, than not having muscle. Um, also, I like to do cardio. So cardio would be like riding a bike, walking, running, hiking, climbing hills. I know you and your wife like thumbbute. You go up to the club. We saw you were a Granite Mountain member? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:07

We got to go out there.

SPEAKER_05 40:08

We've been a couple times.

SPEAKER_04 40:08

Yeah, absolutely. So um, you know, it's all about living a balanced life. I mean, you know, if you're just in the gym all day and you're not really having fun, that, you know, you might be in good shape, but mentally and socially you might be lacking. Mike, you've done a pretty good job of of building all those areas of your life. And uh, you know, I think it comes down again to diet. And there's one word that you uh tell me more than ever: protein, protein, protein. Give us a good idea of what you eat and and how uh you would recommend somebody that wants to get uh in better shape would would eat.

SPEAKER_05 40:43

Sure. Um, and I think also there are some YouTube channels that are included that are pure carnivore. So people who only eat meat. And I I know some one of my trainers in in Florida is that way, and she did amazingly by simply going to meat. Is that a is that a long-term sustainable uh lifestyle? It can be, yes. There there is uh there is a lady who is included in the links there, and it's uh my zero carb life is her channel, and she she does not do any carbs whatsoever, meat only. I'm not sure I would do that. Right, but hey, for each is his own. Yeah, but she's had incredible results. She looks amazing, and uh it's doable. So one of the key points of that though, with protein, do protein and fats, right? Not just protein, but also healthy fats. And that's what this lady does. So your body can can either burn carbs, which most people do, I think. If you have bread, you can convert that into energy. Um, but you can also convert it into body fat. Right. A few years ago, you know, eating fats was considered bad. Um, now it that that's the other fuel, right? Your muscles, you can burn fat for energy, and it's called being in ketosis.

SPEAKER_06 42:11

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 42:12

And if you combine, if you combine a combination of very high protein, very low carbs, and then intermittent fasting, right? So intermittent fasting is you do all of your eating within eight hours of every day, and then for 16 hours, you do not eat anything whatsoever. During that time, you go into ketosis, and at that point in time, your body is purely burning fats. Even if you had carbs during the day, right? Your blood sugar is all gone after that 16 hours and you start burning fats. And if you don't have fats in your in your bloodstream, so ketosis, right?

SPEAKER_04 42:45

Ketosis is the act of your body eating its own fat cells and and cancer cells, and it gets rid of the bad stuff first, doesn't it? Yes, it does. Well, that's awesome, Mike. Well, I'm so honored that you came on the show. And uh you you are somebody who is an inspiration to me, uh, and uh a good guy, good heart, uh you you've a good husband, a good good uh father and grandfather. Yes, four times over. So uh what do you want to leave as a legacy for your grandkids?

SPEAKER_05 43:21

Oh, a trick question right at the end. Um beyond what we just talked about with the financial advisor right before I came over. Um, yeah, I think I think health, a good outlook on life, and uh leading a good lifestyle that makes them happy, right? And that, and I I think the diet and exercise are only two components of that. Um, but yeah, I think that's about it.

SPEAKER_04 43:46

Awesome. Well, Mike, thank you for being on the Make 100 Healthy Club. And you are now an honorary member of the Make 100 Healthy Club. If you'd like to be on the uh club yourself, go to make one hundred healthy.com forward slash club. I'm with Mike Mahalski in the studio. You are a good man and thank you for sharing your secrets. And hey, if I was you, I would check out some of the videos that he recommends because the proof is in the pudding. And we'll be back right after this message.

SPEAKER_06 44:20

Visiting angels, America's choice in home care.

SPEAKER_04 44:27

Wow, what a great segment with Mike Mahousky. He's an inspiration and he's living proof that movement matters. And as we say on TV, but wait, there's more. I am so happy to bring on probably one of our best guests we've ever had. No disrespect to the others, but this man, he is committed. He's steeped in truth and empowerment and sovereignty, and he's a good friend. I've known him for years. Hey, Vic, Dr. Vic Namoff is here, and he is calling in uh from New Jersey, where he is a practicing chiropractic uh uh specialist, and he has written three great books. We're gonna talk about all three. But Vic, welcome to the Make 100 Healthy Club podcast.

SPEAKER_01 45:16

John, thanks for having me. Thanks for having me. We are long time friends, and uh we've been talking about getting together for a while, and I'm glad we've finally got an opportunity to be able to make this happen.

SPEAKER_04 45:27

God's timing, my friend. God's timing.

SPEAKER_01 45:29

Timing is everything.

SPEAKER_04 45:31

So uh Vic and I know each other through a mutual friend. We might as well get that out of the way. Our friend uh Mario Panicucci, who helped me start Make 100 healthy. Unfortunately, he passed away way too young, and uh we feel terrible for his wife, his children, and his mom. You were really good friends. Uh he introduced me to you. Why don't we just talk about Mario real quick?

SPEAKER_01 45:56

Yeah, you know what? Listen, uh Mario is kind of like us, you know. Um he was a truth warrior, a health warrior. He really, you know, understood that, you know, we don't have a healthcare system. We've all been hoodwinked. Uh, I coined the term the medical matrix, I think that we were all kind of born into against our will. And, you know, I mean, we're going back. I think I met Mario, shh, gosh, I mean, at least, you know, at least 10 years ago, yeah, if not longer. Uh, he was actually a practice member of mine as well. And uh him and I have gotten some you know great conversations, and he was a bridge that really connected you and I because we're like-minded. I mean, all the things we're talking about today, and all the things I know you know you talked about in your podcast prior to, I mean, we would have been censored for for everything. I mean, anything uh anything that focuses on nurturing nature and not offending it uh would was taboo. And uh Mario and I kind of kind of connected on that. Uh, he also you know liked to work out and you know, stay active. He actually walked the walk and talked the talk, but uh, you know, unfortunately, uh, you know, we lost him um, you know, way too early. And, you know, I miss him, but you know, you and I are continuing to do what we're doing. Uh, we're bringing back the power to the people to allow people to be informed and make better decisions. Because, you know, one of the things you're gonna hear me say, um, my job is not to tell anybody what to do. Um, you know, my job is to share information, you know, get people to think uh outside the box, and then make you know, decisions that are best for them. Um, and my end of it is, you know, with no judgment, you know, they can't, they they I wanted to remove, I wanted to remove the factor where you couldn't say, I didn't know. Right? Okay, each of my three books I think kind of pulls the curtain on that. I wanted people to know, I wanted people to be informed, I wanted people to get information that the system uh would not share with them, uh, you know, on purpose.

SPEAKER_04 48:03

Because knowledge is let's talk about your books. Your first book, uh, it was called Generation Sick. It's right here. Uh, and it's a great book, but you got the resistance of the Matrix, didn't you?

SPEAKER_01 48:19

You know, I did because because, you know, uh that book, it's a 10-year anniversary. Uh came out yeah, it came out in uh 2016. Uh I'm actually working on an updated second version as a 10-year anniversary uh right now. But uh yeah, I mean, listen, this was before, remember the times in 2016. Uh they didn't, you know, you couldn't call out the Medical Matrix for what it is, the Rockefeller Medical Matrix. And what I did with that book was I kind of pulled the curtain on the great Oz that was John D. Rockefeller Sr. and basically um, you know, told people that we don't have a broken system. The system is working exactly as designed. But what you need to know is you need to know how it was designed, why it was designed, what's it, what its intentions are, so then you can better circumnavigate through it and make different choices that either feed the system or feed the beast uh or starve it. You know, it all comes down to choice. I I truly believe in power to people, where the system could be in place, but if you don't feed the system and you don't comply with their protocols, there is no power. I always say, you know, I write this in a book. There is no power without compliance.

SPEAKER_04 49:43

And freedom is like the little rebellion. It's like the little ants in a jar, the red ants and the and the black ants, they they don't bother each other. But you know who we're looking at, who's the real villain? The person that shakes the jar. And that's the big guys. So, Vic, for those of the uh our listeners and our viewers that really don't, they're just getting up to date. Generation sick actually exposed that the allopathic model that John D. Rockefeller uh did with the American Medical Association basically demonized holistic medicine and you know basically uh created a whole multi-generations dependent on petroleum-based remedies, right? Is that would that be a good way to start it?

SPEAKER_01 50:28

Well, you know, absolutely. I mean, we were we were one of the healthiest countries on the planet, the most productive countries on the planet prior to 1913. I mean, um he he basically removed vitalism, okay? He basically removed vitalism, which is a life force that animates all things in nature. Okay, and I actually brought that back in You Are the Medicine to help people remember what we've been hoodwinked to forget. Uh, but he did that on purpose with the Flexner report that came out in uh 1910 that demonized all of these uh natural path-based schools. Uh homeopathy was big, chiropractic was founded in 1895 in the US in Davenport, Iowa, by uh Didi Palmer. So anything dealing with natural healing, natural medicines, herbs, uh, all of that stuff was removed and replaced with an allopathic model. That model is a German-based model that profits from um radical surgeries, drugs, and long-term hospital stays. And since 1913, where it was fully implemented and all the schools were hijacked. I mean, now where are we? We're in you know 2026. Uh, we're still under the same regime. And we may not be able to change the regime, but the only thing we can do is change our choices based upon being consumers. And I say that with a grain of salt. Look, some people love their drugs, and look, if that's you, that's cool. But do me a favor, don't complain. Those of us, I believe, we should have access to information, like in my three books, and to practitioners who practice in a way that nurtures nature and doesn't offend it.

SPEAKER_04 52:23

Right. And that brings us to your second book, uh, that is Escape the Medical Matrix. And uh this really basically was the predecessor, the precursor to You Are the Medicine, which is your current book that's out there right now and doing very well, I understand. Uh, these are the per the copies I purchased on Amazon. I love the books. And basically, what you're telling people to do, stop listening to others. Don't outsource your decisions for your life to others that may have a profit motive for their recommendations. And, you know, God gave us all the things we need to stay healthy. If we do have, uh if we're out of balance, then He has remedies and and natural um cures that will allow us to live a long, healthy, happy life, which is exactly what our mission is.

SPEAKER_01 53:19

Well, absolutely. I mean, think about it this way: how did we survive and prosper prior to 1910? I mean, you know, we got there some way.

SPEAKER_04 53:30

Obesity wasn't really a thing back then, was it?

SPEAKER_01 53:34

Well, listen, we live we lived more congruently with nature, right? Vitalism was foundational. Okay, I think vitalism was foundational. I think, you know, uh community was foundational, I think people's faith was foundational. The nuclear we were so connected back then and understood our source and what is our strengths and what is our weaknesses. We weren't dependent on the system that I call that I coined the medical matrix. It's just artificial construct in which we're born into it. I mean, look, the fact of the matter is, if you were born in the hospital, okay, uh, you are born into the medical matrix. I mean, women weren't given birth in birth in hospitals, you know, back in the day, right? Prior to all this stuff. Uh, pregnancy was not considered a medical condition or even a pathology. It was, you know, you didn't have OBGYNs, you had, you know, midwives, right? And you see how they demonize that. I mean, you see how they demonize uh breastfeeding, uh, you know, and you know, colostrum and and and touch between mom and baby and dad and and all of this fine, you know, uh foundational natural things when you see this, uh, we're so disconnected and we're so removed from that. Um, we suffer, all of us suffer. And what I wanted to do with Escape the Medical Matrix was to expose that aspect of it, that it's not by accident that we're in this construct. Right. And with you in the medicine, the purpose was to remind you or remind all of us what we forgot. Like you said previously. It's a great progression. You know, you know, we we were born to heal, we were born to thrive, we were born to reproduce, uh, we were born to live congruently with nature. We just need to learn how to decode that and remember that we are part of nature and not separate from it. So, that being a fact, we are all subject to the same laws of nature as well.

SPEAKER_04 55:44

So you are a chiropractor by trade, right? Yes, sir. 26 years. And so uh chiropractic is like any other field, right? Uh, there's some good ones and there's some bad ones. Just like there's good doctors, bad doctors, and there's ugly ones, too. And there's ugly ones, and there's ones with long hair and some that are not. Yeah. You have less overhead. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that I like chiropractic. I think that you said something when we spoke yesterday that chiropractic is not just about the spine and adjustment, it's about releasing your flow and your frequencies and getting in tune, your body back in tune. Tell me what the big picture is, how you see chiropractic and how people benefit from it.

SPEAKER_01 56:32

Well, it's about bringing balance, okay? You know, to me, as an adjustment, I put just put energy into the body. The body knows what to do. Um, we we have so much stress that we're constantly fighting through physical, chemical, and mental. And we have this human experience through our nervous system. We really have two nervous systems. Uh, we have a sympathetic fight or flight response, we have a parasympathetic uh response. The parasympathetic is really you know controlled by a cranial nerve called the vagus nerves. Uh, that is responsible for rest recovery. You heard the term rest and digest. I like rest and recovery. Um, but what happens is when you have distortion, all right, in uh any of the 24 movable segments of the spine, what happens is you lose coherence and the electromagnetic field that is created around our body, first of all, the torsion field that's created around our body. And this is test, you know, this is this is metaphysics now, um, is one thing that gets affected, and the other thing is each cell of the body creates its own electromagnetic field. All right. The spine, the uh the spine houses the brain and spinal cord. The brain and spinal cord, the way I see it, is an antenna that decodes information in the ether. Okay, and I know the word ether sometimes with some quantum people get them spinning, but the ether exists. Nikolai Tesla, right? Yeah, and our and our job is to be able to decode it. So, you know, when people talk about amplifying your frequency, chiropractic, because of the I coined the term somatic geometry, um, that's that's part of my book, You Are in Medicine, that talks about relationships between uh tissues, organs, and structures of the human body. And when that relationship is optimized and it follows more of a um sacred geometric pattern, people are familiar with the golden ratio and things like that. When the structural integrity is optimized, the expression of life and the ability to adapt to physical, chemical, and mental stressors that we encounter each and every day is increased. Okay. So with that ability that's increased, I call that health. In my book, I um I define health is the expression of the body's ability to properly adapt to an ever-changing internal and external environment. Wow. Uh, for it to do that accordingly, that is health. Uh, it has nothing to do with how you feel, it has everything to do with how you function.

SPEAKER_06 59:21

Right.

SPEAKER_01 59:22

Uh, because you know, you know, symptoms are another thing that you know we could talk about. Somebody says it's a good thing, it's a bad thing. To me, symptoms are nothing more than the expression of adaptation and progress. Um, and what determines if they're good or bad is you know the situation at hand and what the body's trying to adapt to. Because we our default is survival, all right? Survival, creation, and procreation. That's that's our that's our biological purpose, right?

SPEAKER_04 59:54

And so uh you are the medicine seems like it's the you know the culmination of of a trilogy, generation sick, okay, identifying the situation and the model, and then escaping it and taking control for your own health and your own sovereignty and your own health, and then you are the medicine, which is the answer, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:17

Yes, the formula.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:19

And so uh I love I love all three of your books, and I love it because you you talk about facts, but you you know, frequency, for example, uh we talked previously on our show about Schumann's residence, you know, 7.83 uh hertz. That is the frequency of the earth. You know, when they used to call somebody a tree hugger, we thought of them as a hippie, but all they were doing was getting grounded back to nature, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:44

100%. Well, that's why it's important. Take your shoes off. I mean, I see my grandson's always barefoot, you know. I'm always barefoot. I mean, we're connected. Uh, you know, that kind of stuff is super important. Like I said, you know, we also talked about, you know, um different uh technology machines and stuff like that. I mean, listen, we we are, yeah, medbits, but you know what? We are the ultimate machine, okay? And that that our cells, right? Think about where cells, cells are small batteries, cells hold a charge. All right. So so we talked about, let's just kind of have let's give a big picture to small picture. The big picture, the the macrocosm is our body, right? Our soul, our body. Our antenna to the ether is brain and spinal cord. Okay, so let's go to the micro portion of it. What is it? It's a cell, right? So, what's the antenna from the cell to the ether to be able to decode frequency properly? What is it? The mitochondria, right? So you got a mitochondrial DNA, and once with a healthy mitochondria, guess what? You can decode all the frequencies. It's like an antenna. If the antenna is shaped properly, it can dec it can uh decode any frequency. If the antenna is all twisted and mangled because of damage, right? Oxidative stress, whatever you want to, whatever you want to call it, right? So the signals are all around us, but the problem is that the body loses its ability to decode that information because cells, what they do, cells have an ability to hold the charge. Everything's about charge and discharge. Okay, that cell holds a charge and it discharges energy. We have ATP, ADP, okay, charge and discharge. When you're talking about grounding, our body inflammatory, right? When we get inflammation through just activities of daily living, that's a positive charge, right? Well, body's charged up. You have to take your take your feet that have sweat glands, your hands that have sweat glands, right? And either, like you said, I put my feet bare feet on the ground, and I do that for you know at least a half.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:58

Not just on the ground, but I understand that dirt and grass are our best.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:03

Uh not grass. The best, the best is a quartz beach while your feet are at the breaking point in the water. That's the perfect thing. Because quartz, again, go to do look at Tesla's work where he talked about quartz, right? Quartz crystals. Right. Right. Uh quartz is has a different affinity to the human body. It resonates at a certain frequency. If you want to optimize your grounding, the perfect way to do it is on the beach at sunrise, getting red light into your eyes, walking right where the ocean breaks on the sand, on a quartz beach sand. That will not only uh ground you, but that will also supercharge your mitochondria. It will also supercharge your um pituitary gland, your hypothalamus, you're going to get sun directly into the eyes. People forget we don't see with our eyes, we see with our brain, and our eyes are directly connected or an extension of the brain. So if you want to really supercharge yourself and you want to do a poor man's uh bed med bed or whatever you call it, that's that's the thing to do. It hey, listen, did you ever wonder why if somebody goes down ashore or whatever, uh, especially in the summertime, and they no matter what their ailments are, they come back and they feel amazing, or they get down there and they get one or two days where they see a sunrise and the sunset, and you feel like a boss. It's not by accident. There, there's there's there's different physiological changes, recharging their body, literally. Yeah, charge and discharge. Every life, think about it this way. I tell my practice members, what's the difference between a live body and the dead one? All right, anatomically, everything's there, right? Right? The charge is gone. Presence, no presence or absence of an electromagnetic impulse.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:02

Yep, there you go.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:04

Uh Mary Shelley told you that, right? What does she write? Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:08

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:09

What did they what did uh what did Dr. Frankenstein? How did he try to bring life back into the the sum of the parts? Okay, so they told us the stuff is simple. I try to educate my practice members, simple stuff. I mean, you know, and I wasn't taught this in Cairo school. This is the stuff that I learned on my own. The way I practice is very unique, the way I adjust people is very unique, the reason why I adjust people is very unique. Okay. Um, I learned this because I wanted to learn the truth of how the human body really worked on a macro level, brain and spinal cord, nervous system stuff, and on a micro level, cellular. So we're talking about everybody's wrapped up with nuclear DNA, right? We totally learned this in school. Everything's about the nucleus, the nucleus, the nucleus. Well, hey, listen, what about the mitochondrial DNA? Right? And where does that come from? It comes from your mama. Yeah. Right? Mama, right? Mother Earth, your mama, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:06:13

So I love what you talk about.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:16

So these things are essential to understand. So when you understand them, what happens? You respect them, you try to optimize them, and then you bring value to a practitioner that helps you help yourself.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:33

That's my job. I tell my clients I'm a tool, right? When you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, and you want to come to see me and you want to have these kind of conversations, okay? I don't take insurance. All right. So uh you know what? Let's do it.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:48

The reason you don't take insurance, right? Is because they don't show a lot of respect to chiropractors, do they?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:55

No, I'm gonna let you know why I don't take insurance, and maybe your audience can tell me if they actually pay for what they uh what they think they pay for. Okay, everybody thinks insurance is health insurance ensures your health, right? So, you know, you go to somebody, you you want to get better, and they should get paid, correct? Right. That's how that's how it should go. So listen, let me share with you real quick Medicare guidelines. So what what your audience needs to understand is Medicare is the institution that lays the foundational groundwork for all these other healthcare providers, Blue Cross, United, Aetna, all the rest of them. They all follow Medicare guidelines. So Medicare guidelines section, and people can look this up, section 2251.3. It says listen to this a treatment plan that seeks to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong and enhance the quality of life, or a therapy that is performed to maintain or prevent deterioration of a chronic condition is deemed not medically necessary. Listen, let me say that again. Not medically necessary. You know what that means? We ain't paying us. We ain't paying. So let me ask you a question. Maybe your listeners and your viewers can really you know sit and think about this because I like people to really sit there and think. Right. Um, when you go to a healthcare practitioner, do you want somebody to help you prevent disease, promote health, prolong and enhance the quality of your life, um, help you maintain and prevent deterioration of a chronic condition? Is that what you're looking for? Yes, for the most part, right? That's what I'm looking for. So guess what, guys? No, listen, guys, not just Kairos. No insurance is gonna pay for it. Well, guess what? You know what that means? Surprised. You know what? We don't have health insurance, we have sickness insurance because here's the magic words not medically necessary. For your um, for your visit or your procedure to be covered, it needs to be medically necessary. Okay, and for it to be medically necessary, this is how they determine it. They determine it based on certain approved conditions and approved treatment plants for the management of symptoms only.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:27

Okay, well, they lay it out there, don't they? Vic, they lay it out what they are willing to do, aren't they?

SPEAKER_01 1:09:33

Yeah, but guess who? Guess guess who we got to thank for this? Who? John D. Rockefeller Sr. baby.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:38

It went right back.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:43

He removed vitalism, he turned, he they helped create the AMA, they helped do all these things to protect their monopoly, the medical matrix. And those of us who pay for insurance, right? We think we should go to a guy like me and say, hey, look, I want these things, right? That I just read off. They should be covered. And the first thing I do is I show everybody this. See that? I show everybody this. It's actually messed up in my office. We'll put that up for a little longer. So they don't pay for this.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:16

So I I just want to thank you for everything you do. I know you've taken a lot of slings and arrows being you know at the forefront. Like any great pioneer you know gets the brunt. You know, now you go on TikTok, and there's people saying a lot of the stuff that you said 10 years ago that was banned. It's people are getting there. I want you, I want you to know that I believe that we're awakening as a as a culture. Um, not everybody, but you know, it's going to be survival of the fittest. And I I highly advise our viewers and listeners to go, please look, first of all, and and try to find and read Generation Sick by Dr. Vic Namoff. I would then like you to go and buy Escape the Medical Matrix, which is right here. And the solution is you are the medicine. I mean, what a great all three great titles. And I think that you've done an amazing job. I think that you're uh really uh we we owe a debt of gratitude to you and to others that are putting your reputation on the line. Hey, you're a Jersey guy, you don't care, and thank God because I never you know you know what, John, I never cared.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:29

You know me for a long time. Listen, my my job uh and my purpose um is to help people help themselves. And my job by the end of my time is to leave it a little bit better than I found it. That's okay. Now being a grandfather, uh, my life has changed completely. Um and you know what? Uh like I said to you off air, my grandson was the one who motivated me to, or just watching him, watching him grow over the his first year uh to finish You Are the Medicine because it showed me nature in its purest form. Well, and uh that that's that's my job. My my you know, and uh you know what? And when people are ready for the message, um listen, read the books. You can get them on Amazon. They listen, if people want to connect with me, I'm on Instagram. Uh unfortunately I'm not on TikTok, but I'm on Instagram. I'll be following Dr. Vic Namov. Yeah. Uh my my website to my office is uh namovhealth.com.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:31

Um, you know, anybody I think that people could let they could learn a lot from you. So uh for somebody who's just waking up, they're they're just really at the beginning because a lot of our viewers and and listeners are just trying to get to the next level. Uh in a quick synopsis, what would you recommend for people to do starting tomorrow to take control of their life? Besides reading your books.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:58

Well, you know what? I and I'm not gonna, you know, listen, you have to understand who created the system, why it's created, and what the agenda is. Um, you know, listen, you can do the basic things like I say to my practice members get outside, spend time in sunshine, do some grounding, all right, uh, exercise a little bit, but don't go crazy. The best thing to do is walk. All right, drink clean, filtered water, get a good night's sleep. Um, stay away from negative people, all right, because the psychosomatic response is a very, very powerful um phenomenon that I believe affects your health more so than anything else. But you know, every single person who wants to take this journey, you you you you don't know where you're going unless you understand where you came from. And I hate hearing people say the system is broken. It is not broken, it is working exactly the way it was designed. What you need to do is you need to learn the history, you need to learn the rules that we shared. And then lastly, here's your power move. You need to decide how to ebb and flow through a system that profits off of your pain and suffering because ultimately it's your choices that either feed the beast or starve it. That would be my advice.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:24

Well, Vic, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to be on our Make 100 Healthy Club podcast. Uh, it's so great to see you. And uh you are a hero of mine. And uh yes, we we are we are like brothers uh from different mothers. And we we we we really want the same things to leave the world a bit better place than when we got it. Uh and through people like us and so many others, we're maybe we're gaining on it, and people are really starting to value. I see I got great hope for some of the next generation because they realize eating real food, exercise, the nuclear family doesn't have to be dispersed all over the country and creating 10 different uh you know mortgages and and rents, you know, being together is a good thing. So God bless you. Uh Vic Namoff, Dr. Vic Namoff has three books out: Generation Sick, Escape the Medical Matrix, and the newest one that's hot on the press right now is You Are the Medicine. Vic, thank you, sir. Stay healthy. God bless you and keep doing what you're doing, man.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:31

Thanks, John. God bless you. And listen, just keep keep pushing forward. We need uh platforms like this to share information with people that are ready to receive what we are sharing and what we're talking about. Because again, the goal is simple restore the power to the people and restore freedom and sovereignty. Because you know what? Uh, you can fight all you want, but uh, you know, unless you're healthy and strong and vibrant and you have generational systems to pass down, um, you know, they still win. So we need to be smart, take two steps ahead or think two steps ahead, and uh do this as a collective consciousness.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:12

Well, thank you, sir. Keep on doing what you're doing. You're a godsend, and uh I'll talk to you soon, man. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:19

Talk to you soon. Thanks, Sean.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:22

Well, what an amazing show we had today. I want to thank our guest, Mike Mahousky, and of course, Dr. Vic Namoff. He is just an amazing guy who was way ahead of his time. And that brings us to our last segment, Gratitudes and Blessings, and something that I feel a little closer with after having a very uh almost tragic uh moment. And uh today, my blessings are that I love the resources that are available. Of course, the the book that everybody talks about is the Bible. And if you get into the Bible, you can learn a lot. But if you don't have time, there's a great book that I um I buy by the dozen, and I give them out to those that I work with. Uh, I am the director for Silver Sands Recovery Golf and um a golf program, and I uh I bring them to a Bible group. And so people that are going through drug and alcohol recovery, uh, well, they need two things. They want to get connected with their higher power, uh, in this case, God, and we want to get them re-imprinted and rebranded in a healthy way, hence the golf. Uh, great story. This last week, we had a gentleman that was leaving our program successfully after being here for 60 days. And this is a God thing. On the last hole, which was a ninth hole, on the last hole of his uh stay with us, he hit a ball 350 yards. It was a par four over a creek, and he landed on the edge of the green. And I captured it on video. We'll probably play this with his permission. And he sunk the putt for an eagle, which just is amazing. But this young man, uh, I gave him this book called Jesus Calling. And this book, Jesus Calling, has a message from Jesus and God every day, 365 days a year. Uh, it is a resource that I don't use every day, but when I do feel I need it, I pick it up. It always speaks directly to my heart and soul. I recommend that you pick up Jesus Calling. Uh, I've got the mini hard uh hardcover version, and uh it's just something that uh when I give to others, it gets them connected. It's like a little baby Bible, if you will. And so uh I wanted to also uh mention that Cecilia had to go do angel work. And so, Cecilia, thank you for everything, and we'll see you next show. And uh that pretty much wraps it up for us. Remember, go to Prescott Food Forest.com uh to learn about all of our gardening education programs. And also I want to thank our sponsors uh that support make100healthy.com. The club is forward slash club, make100healthy.com forward slash club. I I want to thank Rocks Media, which is Frescet Living, Frescet Healthy Living, Fresk It Now, and all their other magazines. I want to thank Dignity Health, I want to thank Legacy Roofing, I want to thank Finley Subaru, I want to thank Talking Glass Media, uh great, great group of people. We're so glad to be on the Cast 11 Network. I want to also thank uh Inspired Closets, who has uh supported us, uh, Waters Garden Center, um, also Southwest Sunset Homes and Solstice Ridge 2, and Stringfield at Granite Mountain. These are two luxury developments in our Prescott area. And I gotta tell you, it's getting busy around here. We're not a secret anymore. I want to also thank Scott's Docks, Blind Brothers, Arizona, and of course the club at Prescott Lakes. This is John Murphy, your Make 100 Healthy Guy, saying nothing but thanks. We'll catch you next time. Stay healthy and keep moving.
