Facing a health crisis can be a pivotal moment in anyone's life, and for my guest Tim James, it was the wake-up call that transformed him entirely. On today's show, Tim takes us through his riveting journey, describing the serious health scares that led him to overhaul his lifestyle and adopt a focus on whole-body wellness. Together, we unpack the powerful realizations that come with listening to our bodies and making choices that truly nourish us, from the food we consume to the way we handle stress.
Have you ever considered the hidden world within us and its impact on our wellbeing? My own path to better health led me to discover the surprising benefits of colon hydrotherapy and the importance of internal cleansing. It's a topic shrouded in mystery for many, but as I share my transformative experiences with hydration, alkaline diets, and yes, even parasite expulsion, you'll begin to see the undeniable connection between what's happening inside our bodies and how we feel on the outside. Tim James and I explore why a clean colon might just be the key to unlocking our healthiest selves.
But it's not just about what's happening internally; our external environment plays a massive role in our health as well. In today's conversation, we lay bare the silent enemies in our daily lives: processed foods, toxic products, and stress. With Tim's expertise, we highlight the importance of combating nutrient deficiency and the stress that burdens even the most health-conscious among us, including healthcare providers themselves. And for those seeking a revitalized existence, we discuss the exceptional benefits of high-quality, food-based nutritional and detox products that promise renewed energy and vitality. Join us as we share our stories and insights, hoping to inspire you on your own path to wellness.

Hello and welcome to the Health and Fitness Redivine. I'm your host, anthony Amen. Join me today to dive into the Health and Fitness Swerve. We're on an overcome adversity, quick back, restriction and see Health and Fitness in a whole new light. Welcome, guys.
Speaker 1:We are either right at the beginning of the new year or in the new year, whenever you're listening to this right now, but we are super excited because this is the time everybody's like. Time to figure it out, need to get going. If you really want to listen to an episode, it's going to blow your shorts off. Go back a full year ago yeah, one year in this podcast, for a long time now and listen to the episode on goal setting for the new year.
Speaker 1:Every New Year's Day and I mean every New Year's Day I go to bed early, I wake up and I take my giant whiteboard and I plot out my entire year, do that for about two and a half hours. Then I go to my computer and type everything up and print it out, put it right on my computer and I track it month by month Personal business and it keeps me on track because it's there in front of my face. So I recommend doing the same. So that further ado, let's welcome to the show today's guest, tim James. Tim, it is a pleasure to have you today.
Speaker 2:Hey, my pleasure to be here. I'm so excited to share with your listeners and I hear there's some transformation and redefining going on over there in your neck of the woods.
Speaker 1:Always, man. We're always transforming and redefining life. That's the beauty of it. But we don't really want to hear about me. We hear about me for three and a half years. So we want to hear about Tim. So, tim, tell me kind of how you got into the health space and what you started with your company?
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely man. So I'm literally on a farm. I grew up in Eastern Oregon hunting and fishing. We had a big garden. I put myself through college cutting firewood and you know I did all the beer drinking and tobacco chewing and all that stuff I was read next to and I let all that go but played baseball at a high level for 30 years. So I was an athlete. And then I ended up at age 37 with wife and two kids in a house and a mortgage and kind of the standard deal, right, and I had this as a financial advisor, had three offices. I was getting ready to take over this guy's business. It was very successful. So I positioned myself very well financially, very excited about that.
Speaker 2:But the problem was is that I couldn't walk. I couldn't even run around a track one lap anymore without just being exhausted. I started getting mental like sluggishness, fatigue. My energy had dropped. I'd gained 40, 42 pounds of disease causing fat. I started getting eczema on my left knee which started cracking and bleeding and sticking to my pants at work, and then it finally spread to both of my elbows. So I'd be like doing a presentation and a client would be like Tim your elbows bleeding because they'd see it through the white shirt. You know the financial advisor with the tie. We take our jacket off and so I'm like, oh my God. So it was really bad because sometimes I'd have to come home and shower with my shirt on to take it off because it was so painful, because it would be stuck to my deal. So then I switched over to dark shirts, black shirts, and then finally all I can say was it was painful every day getting this in this blood stuff. Now in the summertime it did get a little bit better, but in the wintertime it was really really, really bad for the eczema, and so that you know that's not going well. Then I started getting heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, and the doctors wanted me to go on Prilosex. So I that sounded weird, like an alien. So I just decided to like keep with the Tums and Rollades standard issue. It was working. So I'm like pound and Tums and Rollades 24, seven, my office, my car, my truck, wherever I was.
Speaker 2:And then it got worse. Then I started pooping blood and so what happened was, is my, my poop would come out like hard rocks from the diet that I was eating Stan American diet. My gastrointestinal tract was shutting down, and so I'd have bright red blood from anal tears, but then I also had this dark red blood from my internal bleeding, and you know, and I was like this wasn't fun, like every time. Twice this went on for two and a half years and some of the medications that I was prescribed that I never took like one of the side effects was rectal bleeding. So like why would I? Why would I do that? Why would I take a, something that's already my problem? So it didn't make sense to me, so I just never did it. I'm really happy I didn't. Now Could have been worse, so that was going on, but the thing was is when I'd have an urge to go, I started getting anxiety, anthony, because like it's going to be painful, like on a one to 10, it was like a six to a seven, and so I was like, oh no, I have to go through this process of ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, and then the blood, and like I hope that goes away. And this went on for two and a half years. And so finally, to cap off this whole mess, I'm on a.
Speaker 2:My wife was from Lima, peru, and at the time, and so we had this big trip we planned and we went to Northern Peru to a place called Tomb base. It was right south of Ecuador. It was awesome, right on the beach, private, we're talking, remote, okay, and we're out in this deep sea fishing deal and I start getting. I'm like I'm getting sick. And the captain thought I had motion sickness, and so did her dad. I'm like, no, I, I hunt and fish. I've been the Oregon coast, I've been Hawaii tuna fishing. I don't get sick. And oh, no, no, no, he's got, he's got motion sickness.
Speaker 2:Well, we got back and I didn't get better. I started getting worse. Her dad was a medical doctor and he ran one of the biggest clinics in Lima. So he's like he's checking me out and he's like, oh, we have to get you to the hospital, you need surgery. And I'm like what? And so I'm freaked off, I'm bent over at a 90 degree angle, walking like some old man with a bad back, like literally it was. I couldn't walk a wreck and we hustled down to the nearest airport or there's only one airport and we missed the plane flight by like 20 minutes. So there's no plane flight again for like 12 or 24 hours. He's like we can't wait, your, you could die.
Speaker 2:And so we rented a van and drove six hours down the middle of the night. So our dad's like driving this van. I'm in the back seat in this big van. It's like a brand new van. It was like big cargo van and my wife's holding my head and every bump was like somebody was stabbing me in the gut with an ice pick. It was so miserable. By the time I got there, my entire body was. My clothes were soaked. Even the paper money in my wallet was wet from how much I was in Was. I was suffering. I've had a lot of women comment that I know what childbirth feels like. So I still don't know, but it was not fun. It was the most miserable experience of my entire life.
Speaker 2:So we get there. Finally worth this hospital. My god, they're gonna save me. Walk into this emergency, this examination room. They put me down and it's like 1950s. Dude, this is a third world country like. It's not great and there's a whole bunch of.
Speaker 2:I'm in a hospital, in an examination room in the hospital, and there's a ton of bugs flying around my head in the light, in the lamp, and I look at this, the stuff and the equipment. It looks very worn and old, like from the 50s, and I'm like, ah, this ain't good. All these different doctors come in. They diagnosed me, I'll give me the same diagnosis, and then and then, and then he's like Her dad doesn't want me to get operate on in this hospital, he wants to be to be operating in his state-of-the-art facility in Lima. So he talks to him, has him dope me up with all this stuff. I don't even know what it was, but all my pain was gone, I felt great and and and he was on the phone booking the OR and getting the OR ready for me back in Lima.
Speaker 2:So taxi down to the airport, book the next commercial flight, out and off we go. And I was literally life-lighted on a commercial airline and nobody knew Except me and my wife and her dad. And her dad sat right next to me. He kept an eye on me the whole time. So we land in Lima.
Speaker 2:Another taxi ride right to the hospital. They take me out, put me on a gurney and I go right into surgery. And the doctors and the nurses and the Western medicine in that case and emergency critical care saved my life. They totally saved my life. I was pissed because I'd paid money into Health insurance. My whole life never used it. Now when I did, I couldn't. But since I was the son-in-law of the guy who ran the clinic, basically I bought. Actually, the owner of the clinic was one of the surgeons and he operated on me and then some other lady surgeon operated on me. I literally Paid for it by. I bought him a bottle of whiskey and I bought the lady of like some flowers and a box of chocolates. That's what it cost me to get my deal done.
Speaker 2:So, well, I had an appendix removed, so they did right right before it first and a lot of people are like, oh well, that's no big deal Appendix, so you don't need it, it's worthless. You're gonna like, yeah, why'd God put it there? Okay, we have to start using common sense. It was there for a very there's. I could open up a whole Pandora's box on the appendix and how it used to be big like a boot.
Speaker 1:I know all about the appendix. My dad had an exploit on him when he was 15.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it regulates bio, the, you know, the Microbiome in the gut. So, anyway, so I go through this thing and I learned a couple lessons from that. A number one I don't ever want to get surgery again. Thank God they were there, they saved my life. But number two like I, you know, my poor health doesn't affect just me, it affects everybody else around me, because I ruined that vacation for her dad and my wife and and me, and so my wife pushes me back into the United States in a wheelchair and and so, and I tried, you know, after that I was kind of out of fear. I was like high protein, low protein, high carb, low carb, high fat, low fat. He, I tried, you know, act I can, I mean you name, and I was trying all these different things. I'd lose a little weight and I'd gain it back. I even tried juicing, but I was juicing a bunch of sugary stuff and you know, and I didn't lose weight. So the juicer end up under the cupboard. I just wasn't doing it right and so this went on. And then then I had a buddy of mine.
Speaker 2:At age 43, charles gets diagnosed with Cancer. Now I'd already lost my aunt to melanoma skin cancer. It's metastasized to her lungs. My mom took care of her. My grandma died of brain cancer and I lost another buddy of my baseball team to stomach cancer. So my thing was you get cancer, you die. That'd been my experience. Now my buddy Charles has got cancer and he's like, hey, they don't really have anything for me at the hospital. So I'm gonna go to this like detox. You know clinic down in Florida called Hippocrates, will you go with me to support me? And I'm like I'm in and I had. No, I just wanted to help my buddy. I had no idea what I was signing up for. In fact, if I he would have told me I probably wouldn't have went because it went. I was. I was.
Speaker 2:They had no meat there. Like there was no meat, it was all plant-based right and sprouts and juices and all this stuff. And and I didn't really understand nutrition at all back then, I thought I did because I was getting extra chicken with my chicken teriyaki bowls and I thought that's what I needed for muscle and I, like I said, I hunted and fishes, deer and elk and chuckers and pheasants, all that stuff. And so we get there and on the plane flight is like, oh, by the way, there's no meat here. And I'm like what he's? There's no meat, there's no dairy, there's no salt, there's no sugar, there's nothing cooked over 115 degrees salt and no vinegar. And I'm like I, I'm like dude, you lost me at no meat. I'm like now I'm like freaking out, but I'm thinking Tim, your buddy's dying of cancer. Buck up.
Speaker 2:This place has been in business for 61 years. Obviously, they're not killing people. Use common sense. You'll be okay. You've eaten apples before, right, and you like that? Yeah, okay, I'm literally having this conversation with myself. So we go there. Day one my acid reflux, anthony was gone.
Speaker 1:It's gone.
Speaker 2:I didn't eat my Tums and Rollades anymore. They put us on like purified water, wheatgrass shots, green juices made out of cucumber, celery, sunflower and pea sprouts and living foods. Sprouted nuts, sprouted beans, sprouted seeds, sprouted grains, sunflower sprouts, brat radish sprouts, broccoli sprouts, red clover sprouts all this sprouted stuff and I never. I mean I had sprouts in my hoagies before. That that was about it, and I liked them. But they took them away because that whole E Coli stuff. And I found out later four and a half times more E Coli. It's happening in eggs every year, but they don't shut down eggs.
Speaker 2:So I'm doing this deal and then all of a sudden on day three, I mean I'm not feeling that great and this doctor comes out. Dude, he's like ripped and he was a bodybuilder and his name was dr Scott Josephson. You guys can look him up and he can. He's fit. He turned 50 that day and I was like, wow, this guy looks like he's 40, maybe he looks amazing. And I'm 50 now and so I'm like I'm like wow, like this, this guy's amazing. And he was in the class was called internal awareness. It was literally like a two and a half three hour class and what he was, what he was doing was is he was educating us that the average person has six to twelve pounds of impacted fecal material in the colon. It's disease causing stuff, and that we need to get it out. And I'm like, alright, well, that sounds gross and I really want to get it out, but how do you do it? And then he was purporting to us to do colon hydrotherapy or colonics. You heard of that.
Speaker 2:No so I didn't either. So for the listeners, if you don't know what a colonic is or colon hydrotherapy, it's, it's colon hydro water therapy, colon water therapy shooting the water up your colon. Yeah, it's basically what you there's a technician.
Speaker 2:They put a little tube in there and water gently goes in and out for an hour and you basically go to the bathroom for an hour and it cleans out your colon. It's that simple and I remember elbow and Charles and saying hey look, dude, I came here to help you with your cancer, but I'm not doing that deal. It ain't happening. Okay, not happening, but. But the guy knew that people like me were gonna show up, the people, guys that had egos, that were in fear because it scared me. And so he showed us these Virtual colon oscobies of four people three that were unhealthy and one had been on this lifestyle for a couple years. The first person was a 24 year old female that had like Hashimoto's or Graves disease, like this thyroid issue, and and she had thrush, which is a yeast infection. Now when you go inside of a colon you're thinking you're gonna see Brown stuff. Right inside of her colon is all white and yellow and it's like whoa, that's not looking good, that's wrong. Then they went to the next guy. That was a 65 year old male, 64 year old male with he had colon cancer and parasites inside of his colon, black as tar and little white worms crawling around and the doctor spins around and he goes. Hey, by the way, those of you that think this parasite deal is a third world fair, far from it. Over 50% of you, over the next three weeks on this life transformation program, are gonna see parasites exiting out of your stools. And here's the thing. These are, you know, pinworms, hookworms and tapeworms, the ones that you know we're used to seeing People. Some stools will be white and fuzzy, their stools will be almost white. They'll have so many parasites coming out, not just the big, long ones, but, he said, besides those there's smaller ones that live intercellulately and all of them are drinking your drinks, eating your food, urinating and defecating inside of you. And then they're having sex and laying thousands of eggs. And now I'm thinking, well, maybe this colon hydrotherapy thing ain't too bad of a deal.
Speaker 2:So the next one was a 45 year old female with breast cancer, again mostly black like midnight tar inside of her and some brown stuff. And then they went to the healthy person. You could actually see in that virtual colonoscopy inside that healthy person's colon, the pink lining of the colon and brown stuff. It looked like it was supposed to look. And that's, anthony, where the light bulb went off in my head and I'm like, oh my God, this is an inside game. If I want to heal the outside, I need to heal my inside, and I can't tell you how much that has come to be true, not just with the health but with the emotional traumas and stuff too that we deal with in the spiritual path. So I'm like I'm still not feeling that great because I'm on day four of this thing and it's like I've got headaches, I've got night sweats, I'm very irritable. Basically, what they said is we're doing surgery without a knife, and so what was happening was is I was changing the internal terrain of my body and when you do that like, that's why these parasites were exiting.
Speaker 2:As an example, the next day at lunch this gal had a parasite crawling out of her eye at the lunch table and I was like. I was like you have a parasite crawling out of your eye and she's like, oh my God. And she runs off to the bathroom. I'm like don't get it in your salad, you know. And so but a few other people had them coming out of their pores. And when I tell these stories, some people are like oh, that's BS, that didn't happen. I'm like yeah, I did. I saw it.
Speaker 2:Now, why was it happening? Because we were on the standard American diet and we were in a stressed out, modern, polluted world. Our bodies have become very toxic, they've become very acid based and they've become low in oxygen Perfect in perfect breeding ground for viruses, bacterium, mold, yeast, fungus, mutagens, these cancers and parasites. So when we went and we started drinking all this water in green juices and wheat, grass shots and sprouted, we were pouring alkaline and oxygen into our body literally and we were changing the internal terrain. So the parasites were packing their bags and leaving, just like if you were to drop a penguin and a polar bear on Miami beach. They're gonna jump in the water and get the hell out of there Cause like it's too hot for them. They're gonna go south or north and go back to their unnatural environment. That's why the parasites left the body. No different than if you were in New York and the garbage truck drivers strike and people start piling garbage up in the alleyway. Well, what happens? In comes the bugs and the rats. The garbage truck drivers come off, strike, they clean up the garbage, the bugs and rats leave. It's just that simple. It's like it's like not cleaning out the garbage in your house, in your kitchen. Eventually it's gonna stink and bugs are gonna come. That's just the way it is. It's the same thing in your fricking gut.
Speaker 2:And so I got it, and Charles and I. We were just on day five. We woke up and we felt like we were 18 again and I was like, dude, do you feel as good as I do? I literally have energy tingling in my arms. My mental clarity is back Like I was 15 years old again and I'm like, dude, you're gonna heal. I know I've talked to all these people around here. You're gonna heal a cancer and I'm gonna do this with you. We're gonna go home. I'm gonna give up all meat except for bacon. We're gonna knock this thing out of the park. We got home. We got really busy living. I started growing sprouts and juicing, doing all this stuff, and in two and a half years, my friend healed himself of this uncurable cancer and was able to see his son graduate high school. He went and watched, went to father's son weekend at Oregon State University and his son graduated and became a real estate agent and sold Charles's house. So total awesome story.
Speaker 2:Charles wrote me into doing a marathon in 2012. We finished that together and it was probably one of the most epic things that I've ever done in my life tears and I was really tired and got that done. And for me, anthony, within 60 days I had dropped the 42 pounds like just poof gone and the X-mone my elbows was gone and eight months later that big patch of X-mone my knee was gone. The acid reflux was gone. I got my ribs back. I went from extra-larges and largest to mediums and small shirts again. I feel amazing and I've been on 24-7, 365 for 13 years shouting from the rooftops that you are nature, nature is the solution and you can all heal. It doesn't matter what you got going on, it's possible. If you have the right attitude and you get the right information and you get off your butt and take action, you can become your own doctor. You can learn how to self-heal. If a redneck from Eastern Oregon can do it, I know anybody else here listening can.
Speaker 1:That's a great story.
Speaker 2:I was in France the whole time.
Speaker 1:I was just like yeah.
Speaker 2:I got it.
Speaker 1:I love the name of the conference hypocrisy, by the way, that was subtle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hypocrity's. A lot of people have heard him say something he said. That is a very famous quote let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food. That's one of his most famous quotes. But another one he said. He said he who is not his own doctor is a fool. He who is not his own doctor is a fool. And I'm telling you what you have got to take responsibility for your health. Stop outsourcing your health, your finances, your relationships to other people. That's what the top down approach they are go, don't worry about it, we'll take care of you. Just come on over here. And then you come in, like even when I was a financial advisor, I had to learn a whole new language, right, you go to a doctor and the doctor's like can?
Speaker 1:you repeat that one more time, please?
Speaker 2:What's that?
Speaker 1:That fitness and financial thing because it's beautiful, you have to what.
Speaker 2:Well, you can't outsource this stuff to other people. Why? Well, because what might they have planned for you? Like, you know what I'm saying? You got to take responsibility for your own stuff. Even like, when you go and you have a CPA, put all your stuff together, you're signing your name to it. They're not responsible for what goes on, you are. So if you owe a bunch of taxes, you're like, hey, what'd you do? I go, oh, I don't know. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:You signed it, you are what's people's take 100% For people to learn those skills and how related are both of them.
Speaker 2:Well, if you don't, you're going to pay the price. Look around 80% of us are overweight, obese or morbidly obese. All diseases are on the rise. In fact, how bad is it? Our life expectancy now is dropping like a rock. So our children are now going to die younger than us. So the systems are broken. They failed us financially. 72% of Americans have less than $400 in savings Like. So the systems are broken. Our infrastructure is a D in this country. Our roads and our bridges and our highways are all crumbling. The buildings are crumbling. We're turning into a third world company and we've done this because we've outsourced everything.
Speaker 2:I was just talking to somebody the other day. I was like did you know if? If you go to in Columbia or Costa Rica, if you want to import something, in, the tax is almost as much as the cost of the and in the in the exchange ratio is like 4,001. So it's already way out of whack for those people down in Columbia. How could they even afford to buy an American product when the taxes as much as the product itself? That makes no sense. So why is it? Stuff can come in, but it can't go out, because we've been outsourcing our usefulness. We we're not creating anything. And that's how e-commerce and commerce is supposed to work, for you've got to create something. You have to create some value. If you don't create value, there's no value there, like. So what's happening is this top-down approach where they're centralizing everything and big companies.
Speaker 2:I'll give you a perfect example Whole Foods Great concept. Those people that started it got big and then Amazon bought it and what's happened is if you, if you remember Whole Foods 10 years ago lots of amazing products in there, lots, and you got to choose from and then they had a little brand called Organic 365 Brand. You remember that that was their own brand. Now what they're doing is you'll see almost a lot of Organic 365 Brand. Why? Because they control the shelves. So if you're going and it's a Super Bowl part and you're like, oh, I want to get some hummus and you're looking at a really good hummus, like me and you had a hummus company and we put organic, non-gmo chickpeas and we put the best cold pressed oil in there and we put the best spices and we mix it all up and we have our special sauce and it's awesome and it's 8.99 for that eight ounces. And they look over to the right and it's 6.99 for 16 ounces.
Speaker 2:Organic 365 Brand with crap. Organic, you see it, crap food and so but you're like, I like my friends but I don't like them that much. You buy the cheap stuff or they'll just kick you off the shelf and replace you. So what's happening is is, through centralization and top-down approach, consumers are getting crappier and crappier products. I just bought a whole bunch of doors for this new building. Dude. It hasn't even been a year and the doors are warping and they're just. They were made of crap, it's just crap. So that's what's happening. So we have to take 100% responsibility for our health, our finances, our relationships, our spiritual path, our hummus and our doors. I mean, it's getting to that point now.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna stop you there, tim, because I love this. You went right into my ad and I didn't even have to pitch it at all, so now I'm only gonna do five seconds of it. Learning your fitness and your financial goals and understanding how to take care of both of those is why Keith and I came together to create a company called F-squared Consulting, where we blend fitness and financial freedom, because both are hand in hand together. So if you wanna learn, take control, track everything and be able to plan for your future and please go check us out at fitbodiesfatwildscom Again, that's wwwfitbodiesfatwildscom. F-squared Consulting. Fitness and Financial Freedom. By the way, thank you for doing that. That was not planned. It was just show us the synchrony between both of them so beautifully, as you stated. So I do love that.
Speaker 1:I wanna ask some specific questions based upon the story you had told earlier, just to get some general feedback from you. First one being I know that the food that we're eating is utter crap. I don't think there's another word for it. You grab a box of something and you're looking at the ingredients and you don't know what 95% of the shit is. That's, end of the day, excuse and then the best you could do to help somebody. And just to keep it simple, stupid response. Some people like to say we tell them, walk only the outside of the grocery store, just do the outer aisles and avoid everything in between, cause that's just straight poison. At least you'll be slightly better walking the outskirts of it. So do you like that general analogy, or is there something you have that might be able to help the masses a little more?
Speaker 2:Well, I think that's a really good place to start, for sure, because the bottom line is, people have to understand what processed foods are doing to people, right? So what happened was I don't know if you guys remember this, but there was this thing called 9-11. It was kind of a big deal and like 2,977 people lost their lives, and everybody kind of remembers where they were at. Where were you at when that happened?
Speaker 1:Sixth grade. They didn't tell us, they just shut the doors, kept teaching, went to a friend's house to know what was going on. The friend's mom told me to go home. I went home, walked up my stairs, the parents of the TV on, and I said why is everyone acting so weird? I don't understand what's going on today. And they said, oh, sit down. And that's what I found. They all live on the island, so I know friends who lost loved ones. My uncle was actually there. He was in the towers, he was electrician. He walked out to go get breakfast and, sitting in line at the bagel store, saw the first tower get hit. Wow, that's lucky he didn't tell people. By the way, for 10 years no one knew.
Speaker 2:And he's like, oh yeah, I was there.
Speaker 1:I was like what the fuck you were there. And then one of my best friends, dad, was a firefighter and he lived, but he has 9-11 cough. He still has it. He totally destroyed his insides so he didn't wear a mask. He just went there and just tried saving people's lives and the best security.
Speaker 2:I'd love to help him. Should I connect this, if he's open? So?
Speaker 1:here's the thing.
Speaker 2:You mentioned something about. Your parents said sit down, and I would like to resonate that message with your listeners right now. I want you to sit down and listen to me and the message is is that 2,977 people died from 9-11. It impacted all of us. His parents said sit down. I just said sit down, listen to this.
Speaker 2:Over 4,300 people a day in our country die from processed foods. Let me repeat that 4,300 people a day are dying of processed foods. In our country we are paying for poison. We are walking into the grocery stores and buying this bullshit, crap that is highly addictive, that is processed to the—it's so bad for people, it's like—it's why we're sick.
Speaker 2:The solution is nature. It's whole foods, foods in their natural state. You know they're—it's like. If you take wheat as an example, and if you could get it, so it's, you know, not sprayed and not hybrids, so much you get the old heirloom stuff not manufactured for, you know, sprayed with glyphosate and all this stuff and you can eat it and it's—it's good for you.
Speaker 2:But when you take even in that and you—if you were to take a good one and grind it into a powder, it goes from like—I can't remember, I think it's like—it goes from like 500 calories to like 1500 calories or something like that. It's like a powder form, but that powder basically turns into sugar. It's just not good for the body. Anything that's highly processed, processed flour, processed sugar, sugar—anything like this even if it's a healthy grain, it's—it's going to destroy your health. The oils today are highly processed and heated and those—those oils turn into what are called lipid peroxides, so those are cancer causers. By the way, your shampoos. If your shampoo says sodium laurel sulfate in it, that's a cancer causer and it's probably one of the main ingredients in your shampoos.
Speaker 1:I don't shampoo.
Speaker 2:Well, who knows, you might have a hairy chest, we don't know. You have to take it to your room. So the—the—and then? What if your toothpaste says harmful of swallowed, please contact the poison control center? Has anybody ever thought to just pause for a moment and think well, if I eat too much of this I have to call the poison control center. So maybe it's poison. It could kill me when I brush my teeth, aren't I poisoning myself a little bit every day? And it says constant, nonstop glade air freshener toothpaste. It's non—you know poison.
Speaker 2:The sodium laurel sulfates, the seed oils, the expelor-pressed canola oil and your potato chips. It's also a lipid peroxide, because the expelor presses cause a lot of heat and damage in these—it's like it all adds up. Right? Your shirts. If you're not wearing organic cotton shirts, like I am, or organic hemp or linen, those shirts—well, let's say this maybe you are wearing cotton. Cotton is the second most sprayed crop in the world behind sugarcane, right? So you're—if you're tidy whiteies and you're wearing these Haynes garments, they're not organic. Guess what? They're off-casting these estrogen-mimicking chemicals into your nut sack and you're destroying your ability to procreate and have children and it's going to lead to things like testicular cancer, just by wearing—and then—and then you know, I got into—I'm—I don't know about you, but when I played baseball we used to wear these big heavy cotton-like shirts and then in baseball they got all sweaty and you'd have to change them halfway through the game. Then they came out with dryfit Nike, dryfit Dude. That shit's awesome. It's like—you feel like a superhero wearing that stuff. But guess what? It's made of polyester and after a thousand washes it's off-gassing.
Speaker 2:97% of these chemicals and the umbilical cord studies back everything that I'm saying. Go, type these three words into your browser when you're done listening to this podcast Umbilical cord chemical, umbilical cord chemical those three words. When I looked them up, I was shocked. They go back to 2005. Anthony, they look for 400 chemicals. They find 71% of what they're looking for 250, and 180 of those cause cancer in humans and 212 cause developmental and brain disorders. And it's like these are in our young babies and moms the healthiest, supposedly, of all of us.
Speaker 2:And I was like—I sat back in my chair and I was like oh my god, we are all polluted. We can't see it. It's microscopic and so nobody—like how do you—how do you identify? You can't see it's killing you cause. It's too small, but it is.
Speaker 2:It's freaking, killing you, and the older you are, the more time you've had to bioaccumulate these toxins from the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the shampoos that you put on your head—unless you're Anthony puts it on his chest hair—and then you got the—the harmful of soil.
Speaker 2:You know, poison toothpaste and the air fresheners and the blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah which I think is all blocked, but it's so—it adds up to your polluted and it's destroying your health. And so I—that's how I started Chemical Free body. I was like I gotta get this information, I gotta start pointing out this white elephant in the room that nobody can see. It's these microscopic toxic chemicals and it's—that's number one. Number two is we are deficient in nutrients, because 85% of the farmland has been void of nutrients from these mega-farms. You know all these sprays. And number three, which is actually number one, is reducing stress in your life. So that's what we do like reduce their stress, get the toxins out of their body, flood their body with nature and guess what? Your natural body knows what to do and you can come back to life and you can heal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I especially agree with the last one, the reducing stress. High levels of cortisol have been shown time and time again to be harmful. Cortisol's good yes, I said cortisol's good in short instances, fight or fight and you have to use it.
Speaker 2:You have to actually move your body. You have to fight something or flight and run and burn through that special chemical, but if you don't, it turns into a toxic poison that will undermine your health and your life and probably shave about seven to 19 years off your life too, in the process.
Speaker 1:I have seen stress actually destroy people. Yeah, I'm gonna give a case in point. A lot of my family's doctors and a lot of people would sit here and they doctors are the healthiest people in the world. I can tell you. All the doctors in my family's are all the ones who've had heart attacks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they have higher rates of suicide too.
Speaker 1:Stress. They are patient, patient, patient, patient, patient, patient, patient work 15 hour days, no sleep, get back into it, work straight. It's taxing on the body and you watch it just destroy them. It's like the ones that try to sit there and help us heal are always the ones that end up getting hurt Cause they get caught up in this realm.
Speaker 1:Like we were just talking to one of my trainers today about this with physical therapists, which was asking and she's like you know, I wanted to be a physical therapist to you, but I was like a lot about it, but I saw the stress they went through 15 minutes of the patient to try to squeeze in to make a living cause. The insurance companies aren't paying you and then you really can't help people all the way because the insurance company is telling you you can't only work on one part of the body, you can't continue the whole of it and it's just. It's like are you really helping people and are you doing more damage to yourself while you're trying to help people? You're just like. I thought the same thing. That's why I didn't do it Blows your mind when you start looking at it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh yeah. You fell down. You're an elderly woman. You fell down, you broke your kneecap. They didn't X-ray you in the hospital and you walked around in that for in the emergency room. So you walked around on it for three weeks and you go back and X-ray.
Speaker 2:Oh oh, we need to put a brace on, and well, my back hurts and my neck hurts. Well, the physical therapists can't help you with that. We need to get another referral. You got to come in and see a back doctor and then you got to go see a neck doctor. You have to get three referrals so that the physical therapist can actually work on the entire body, because they've compartmentalized the body and they've forgotten that the foot bone's connected to the leg bone and there's this thing called the system. Your body is an engineering system and it's just, it's ridiculous, is the way it really is. And you're right. The people in the medical profession are good people, most of them, just like most professions good, hard, decent, working, working class people but they are in a broken system and that system needs a systems overhaul now, because our children are dying younger than us.
Speaker 1:I couldn't agree more. We need change in that and we need change of everything across the board. You said something really relevant. It kind of resonated with me Over processing foods leads to less nutritious less nutrients than something. You sit there and you take something and you break it off. You cover the cooking's a process. So you're processing that food, you're destroying the fibers in it, you're breaking down the vitamins and the other, the prebiotics and the probiotics, and it heats, killing all of them. I'm not gonna say don't cook food, but have an understanding of what you're doing. Yeah, you better be eating some living foods.
Speaker 2:People don't realize that we are the only creatures on this planet that cook their food and we have all the disease. To an extent yeah, well, there are some other creatures that have disease the pets, the animals we've domesticated and same ones, the animals in the zoos. All human intervention.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's a lot more to it, that we have to kind of take a look inside and really help ourselves and fix the underlying issue. It's just something you mentioned of our lifespan is going the wrong direction.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it should scare you, and everything in this world should scare you. Well, the cool thing is that it starts with us.
Speaker 2:Like I was talking about earlier, taking responsibility. Here's how you vote today. You vote with your dollars. You stop buying this poison crap and killing yourself and racking up your medical bills and buy healthy foods. And I talked to somebody today and if you have the belief system that eating healthy is more expensive, then you don't know what you really know. You have no idea what you're talking about. You've been. It's just conditioning, because I can buy a 50-pound bag of lentils for nothing Cheap. I can grow a tray of sprouts, of sunflower sprouts. I can grow two and a half pounds of sunflower sprouts for a dollar and that is like medicine. It's the most nutritious food on the planet.
Speaker 2:One handful of sunflower sprouts is equivalent to 30 handfuls of fresh cut kale out of the best organic, chemical-free, non-toxic garden with the most rich, dense soil you could possibly get. Think about that. Do you want to eat 30 handfuls of kale? I don't. I like kale from time to time once or twice, you know, here and there if I make a salad with it. But I can eat one handful of sunflower sprouts and get the nutrition of 30 handfuls of kale or 30 handfuls of mustard greens or 30 handfuls of sweet potato greens the most nutritious vegetables on the planet. That's where it's at Living foods, and people can start incorporating these things into having their salads and it's fresh, it's delicious.
Speaker 2:Herbs, basil, mint, rosemary, all these things they can—I mean a lot of people grow these things in their countertop, on their windowsill. You know, if you're living in an apartment, you can still do this, and you can—there's other sprouts you can grow like lentils, mung bean, fenugreek. You don't even need soil for those. You can grow those in glass jars on your countertop in your home and they'll be ready in two and a half days to eat. And there's—so there's no excuse. We have the medicine. The medicine is the living foods and basically fasting, which you probably have to have me back on if we wanted to talk about water fasting, but there is nothing more powerful than doing nothing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And, tim, I just want to wrap this up, so I'm going to ask the final question. I ask everybody—the first question is if you were to summarize this episode in one or two sentences, what would be your take home message?
Speaker 2:The sum up two sentences sum up Okay. So I would sum this up as put yourself as a priority, Start loving yourself enough to make some change in your life and whether you radically shift now and get going or you take baby steps, do one or the other, Start moving. I love it.
Speaker 1:You can even simplify that. Start moving, beautiful, yeah, move, take action.
Speaker 2:It's simple physics. I mean, what you put out is what you get back.
Speaker 1:If you don't have what?
Speaker 2:you want change what you're putting out.
Speaker 1:That's very true. And then the second question how many people find you get a hold of you? Here's all the good stuff.
Speaker 2:Easy peasy. Our website is ChemicalFreeBodycom. That's ChemicalFreeBodycom. We do—I lead an inner circle coaching call every Wednesday. I'm doing that tonight.

That stuff is based on 10,000 years of biological engineering system science. And I've got Dr Keith Moeller. He's helped us with our nano silver products.
Speaker 2:I've curated some of the best stuff for me over the last 13 years and just made it available for other—it really was just like small batches for my coaching students, but it just kind of got a life of its own and it became the major part of my business. And we shift worldwide all over the place. And we have double your money back guarantee on all of our products, because I just want to—because I know they're going to work for 98% of you up the middle, and if you do, they're going to change your life like they have mine.
