How many people do you know who struggle with their health?
Chances are, whether they show it or not, most of the people in your life do.
And chances are, you're one of them.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, endometriosis, acne, eczema, autoimmune, thyroid, lyme, brain fog, fatigue, or any other symptom or condition,
You're far from alone.
Living with symptoms has become the new normal.
So no more guessing games.
It's time to get answers.
Welcome to the Medical Medium Podcast.
I'm Anthony Williams.
We're talking about intermittent fasting.
Have you ever heard the expression, what goes up must come down?
Well, intermittent fasting is kind of like what goes up, up, up, comes crashing down
years later.
It's so sad when a new trend comes to town and takes everybody down and then takes them
straight to eating disorder town.
A lot can go wrong and it often does.
The damage is done and it shows up long after the health crime.
It wasn't what it seemed to be all this time.
The science applied is flawed at best.
The results looked clear, but not after a few years.
Get ready. Strap yourself in.
This is going to be a bumpy ride.
Hey, you come here too?
Really? Awesome. I haven't seen you here.
Yeah, I get my coffee here all the time.
Yeah. You noticed?
I know. I'm doing the intermittent fasting thing.
Totally. You see my gut?
It's down.
I know.
The bloating's down.
You look good too, man.
You're doing it?
Really?
How long you been doing it?
A few months?
Incredible.
What did you have for dinner last night?
Sorry.
You had pizza?
Oh, hold on.
The line's moving up.
Okay.
Yeah, the pizza?
Yeah, that's cool.
I had a burger last night.
Yeah, it was great.
I had it at 9 o'clock last night.
You had it at 6 last night?
That's awesome.
You know, everybody's doing it a little different.
Uh-huh. I had a big salad the other night. Yeah. And then after the salad, I had a burger too.
Well, okay. Hold on. I got to order. Hey, yes. Can I, ma'am? Hi. Can I have a black coffee
with a shot of espresso in there? Awesome. And I need, uh, I need to get a double
shot of espresso on ice to go that would be awesome okay thanks yeah i know i do the espresso
all the time oh man it gets me through the day do you do you remember like when you get that
dragging moment because that's what i get you get it too like in the middle of the day i'm dragging
and then all of a sudden the next coffee i do like the espresso i'm taking with me i bring that in
and I'm back to square one.
I know.
I know.
Somewhere around four o'clock,
it get a little jittery.
But every now and then I cheat
and I bite on a piece of chocolate
and I know it kind of ruins it,
but it doesn't.
Yeah, I know.
All right, listen.
Okay, thank you.
All right, I'll catch you around.
All right, bye.
What kind of intermittent faster are you?
Do you wait till 12 o'clock?
No, right?
Two.
That's more like it.
maybe you're like one of those three o'clock in the afternoon and it hits you and you're like
all right it's gone far enough maybe you're a four o'clock maybe you're like six maybe you're eight
two four six eight who do we appreciate the caffeine right that's what we really appreciate
is the caffeine because without it
the crazy thing with the caffeine part with it same thing but it's just another day what happens
is we get that high we get that high and by the end of the day we're coming down we're coming down
and then we got a gorge we got to eat what do you like to eat oh you're a healthy one right
you're a healthy person you're doing like the salad and the protein and lean protein and the
vegetable and you got it all together at night when you're doing it. Friend of mine, it's like
all pizza, man. The end of the day is like, I waited for this. I earned the right for this pizza, man.
And then he just gobbles the whole thing down. But everybody's got a different twist. You know,
some people like to eat differently at the end of the day. Some people do like more like four o'clock
then they'll do it again at like seven. But they went till four o'clock without eating. And that's
a feat waiting to four o'clock when you think about it. One of the things that's a head scratcher
for me, this is a big one right here. It was a guy's thing to start. Just kind of funny, right?
Intermittent fasting wasn't a girl's thing. It was a dude's thing. You know, dudes that never had a
health problem. Dudes that never been sick. Dudes that don't know what it's like to have chronic
illness. You know, like aches and pains and fatigue and blurriness and dizziness and all
kinds of different problems just wanted to get like more in shape in the fact of like losing
their belly a little bit the intermittent fasting thing didn't start with women who are chronically
sick because let's face it if a woman's really sick and they don't eat until six at night
not only are their adrenals going to go down for the count their blood sugar is going to drop
they're not going to be able to function they're not going to be able to walk they won't be able
the drive. They won't get glucose to the brain, blood sugar to the brain. They'll just be shot.
So it started out like with a dude that wasn't sick. So it was like a dude thing. And the crazy
thing is when these things keep on getting out of hand in the trendy world, all of a sudden,
everybody's doing it. And then no one's keeping track of the downfall, the fallout, the casualties.
no one's watching any of that no one's seeing someone who shouldn't be doing that does it
and they get hurt right and that's just the obvious direct hurt that comes across right at
the beginning of somebody doing it when they're not well i'm not talking about someone who's
healthy enough strong enough can work out they do it for one year two year three year four year
And then all of a sudden their hair's all falling out.
And all of a sudden they got fatigue.
That's unexplainable.
And all of a sudden they're getting weight gain
when they're sitting there eating hardly anything.
Everything just starts falling apart.
That's fallout that comes years later for a healthy woman, right?
That intermittent fast.
You don't think it's happening?
Oh, I see it all the time out there.
And so do a lot of doctors I talk to.
So do a lot of people I talk to.
it's out there, it's happening.
But remember it started out with like healthy dudes,
like strong dudes that decided to stop eating bacon
and eggs and sausage in the morning.
They're like, you know what?
I'm kind of done with the six eggs in the morning
and the sausage and the bacon.
And, you know, I tried not to do the toast anymore.
I got rid of that.
And I just started doing my protein breakfast,
which was the egg, two slices of ham around it,
or sausage and egg patty with no bread.
but eventually it was a dude thing where it's like no I'm just not gonna eat this heavy meal
in the morning and I'm just gonna fast and it kind of got my tummy down so it was a guy thing all
long and now you got women who haven't been sick yet writing books doing things doing podcasts
teaching other women to do it but no one's saying you can do it for a little while because you'll
probably get away with it. If you do it, you're going to be sick down the road. And if you do it,
you're going down for the count that month. No one's monitoring any of that. No one's looking
at any of that. Because remember, it's one size fits all out there every time. It's one size fits
all. Intermittent fasting, one size fits all. No one's looking at all the subtleties and how
everybody's different. It's always one size fits all in all the alternative health world. It's
painful, but true. If that's getting you upset, I'm sorry, but it's the truth. I want to ask you
something. Is there any moms listening right now? Would you let your daughter not eat the whole
entire day until six or eight o'clock at night on espresso all day long, not eating anything?
Would that be a smart idea? Because I'm scratching my head over here. Would you let your son
do the same thing.
Not eat the whole entire day.
Hey, Michael,
don't bring that lunch to school
and do not buy lunch at school.
Make sure you just avoid food altogether.
Can you get a Starbucks coffee?
Yes, get a bunch of them.
Just drink it all day
and mommy's gonna make you dinner tonight.
We're gonna eat about 10 o'clock at night, okay?
All right, see you.
Have fun at school.
Or what about your five-year-old?
Right? It's like, Madison, put that piece of toast down. No, put it down, down. Do not have that egg. No, do not have those grapes. Put it down. You're not going to eat until about two o'clock today. Yes, Madison, I'm going to put some coffee in your lunchbox and tell the teacher it's not coffee. Just tell the teacher something else.
and yes and then at two o'clock you can have something to eat okay so stop madison put that
piece of toast down i don't know that sounded kind of bad to me i don't know how that sounded
to you guys it's like shouldn't we be teaching our children like what we do should be good for
our children right because they're learning from us yeah i mean that's what they're doing it's like
um yeah mommy is not gonna eat yes um why mommy doesn't want to eat mommy's on a new diet yes
mommy is on a program um mommy's not gonna eat lunch yeah mommy's not gonna eat dinner either
uh maybe like at nine o'clock at night mommy's gonna eat oh you want to do that oh no no you
don't want to do that, Brittany. No. Brittany, no, you have to eat today. Yeah, don't. I know.
I know. You're watching. Mommy's is crazy. Yeah, you know how mommy's crazy. She just does these
different diets and stuff like that. Yeah. No, I want you. Brittany, you should eat today. Yeah,
that's actually really important because you know how your blood sugar gets a little
kind of crazy and your blood sugar's like off. And remember when you were like faint in gym class?
No, you have to eat something, okay?
Yeah, I know you want to do what mommy wants to do.
I get it.
But yeah, but mommy has to do this.
This is what she has to do for herself.
Okay.
Or how about if you're taking your child to the doctor?
So you're taking your child to the doctor and the doctor says,
Mrs. Cooper, we're going to do intermittent fasting for your daughter.
She's getting some weight.
So she's gaining weight.
and we want her to start eating at six every day.
So we like this organic coffee.
Let's make sure that your daughter's using this organic coffee all day long
and she doesn't eat because we're going to do the intermittent fasting the expert way.
And she can eat anything she ever wanted at night.
I don't care what it is, ice cream, Mrs. Cooper, macaroni and cheese, pizza.
Do you like pizza, Daphne?
do you like pizza? Okay, great. Pizza's perfect. Daphne, you like pizza? Perfect pizza party every
night, Mrs. Cooper, at your house. But she's not allowed to eat the entire day, but she has to
drink some coffee. And you can teach her how to drink coffee. You and your husband drink coffee
every single day. So this is the new program we're kind of doing here. So I think it would be a great
idea we get her on because she's gaining a little weight and we want to lose that weight.
You know what's weird?
I'm detecting eating disorder.
Oh, my God.
Like, when I think about it, I'm, like, starting to have visions of eating disorders all through my head.
Is it just me?
Am I just being crazy or something?
But I'm, like, I'm smelling an eating disorder.
Like, I'm seeing an eating disorder.
More than that, this is, like, eating disorder land.
And when you think about it right now, I'm just thinking about it now.
Just by doing this and talking to you guys,
I feel like I've developed an eating disorder just from this alone.
All right, let's be honest.
We're talking like that can create a serious eating disorder, right?
All right, you don't believe me?
Okay, do you know how many people were taken away, locked up,
taken away in a paddy wagon because they didn't want to eat?
Do you know how many teenage girls were locked up, taken away, given ECT because of it?
Do you know how many people were hurt throughout the years and years and years?
Unfairly, terribly unfairly, in an evil way, actually.
But not eating all day long would warrant an instant label of an eating disorder,
a mental condition for a young person.
the parents be freaking out the mom would be just in total disarray it would uproot an entire family
calamity would ensue they would take kids away they'd be seeing counselors after counselors after
counselors if your teenager's daughter teenager son wouldn't eat and wanted to do this kind of
thing, but because now it's fake science approved and it's the trend and people are doing it,
it's all of a sudden accepted. Oh my God. When I think about it, how many kids were taken away
from their families, families destroyed, children's lives ruined. When I think about that,
custody losses of children, all of that, because, you know, they weren't eating,
which is terrible because they shouldn't have been taken away.
So many of these families destroyed so many problems.
It's not easy in the eating disorder world.
A lot of tragedies happen in different ways.
But how many drugs and medications that children were put on,
teenagers were put on, like dangerous drugs,
because they had an eating disorder.
and then when i think about like intermittent fasting's everywhere it's everywhere it's on
every magazine it's all over the internet of course doctors are preaching and teaching about
it every day right you see it everywhere books out this out influencers doing it all the time
it's flooded the entire system podcasts there's all these podcasts about it all on its own
when you think about that all the young people are seeing this everywhere they're seeing it on
social media they're seeing it on the internet they're seeing it on tv they're seeing it in
movies it's just all over the place it's perfectly fine it's just intermittent fasting oh it must be
solid with science everything must be perfect with it yeah no just don't eat as long as you
don't eat and don't eat just don't eat that's the message see what i mean it's you can't go
it's not like eat. It's don't eat, don't eat, don't eat. And whoa, no, you're a loser. You broke
your intermittent fast at one o'clock. You better try harder. You get kind of mental about it. What
about the OCD based around it? I mean, think about that. You start getting into this whole pattern of
you start hating on yourself. How do I know? I've seen it out there. Young people hating their own
guts hating themselves thinking they're crap because they broke their intermittent fasting
day at one o'clock or at two o'clock in the afternoon or at 12 and they gobbled something
down because no one's really teaching them it's not the best thing to do there's other ways to
do it and they end up gobbling something down at two o'clock and they feel like failures and then
they go into a depression but no one's talking about this it's like we're always worried about
our children not eating. We're always worried about eating disorders. There's a history of
that out there. So let's just create a billion more eating disorders, but make it seem like
it's an okay thing. It's perfectly fine to do. Everybody's doing it. It's science suggested,
or there's experts everywhere. There's dudes, there's women, they're experts now at it.
They're teaching about it, health coaches, nutritionists. Oh, why don't you try intermittent
fasting. Maybe your son can try intermittent fasting too. Maybe both of you guys can do it.
Oh, what's the best way to do it? Make sure you're doing caffeine all day and don't eat anything.
It sounds insane because it is. And we get numb. That's how it works here. You get numb to
punishment. You get numb to stupid things that are happening. You get numb. You just get used to it.
Like you don't know what's happening anymore.
You just become with it, part of it.
You just let it happen.
You coast along with it.
No one sees it.
No one sees anything wrong in it.
No one thinks of it as anything.
It just naturally evolves into something spooky and evil,
but it doesn't matter because you can't see it because you're blind.
You got eyes, but you can't see.
it's just you just go along with it and then everybody goes along with it and it never stops
and then just stick a name like science on it somehow like license it license it by giving it
the science okay because there was some kind of bs study that wasn't a study that monitored five
people for a certain amount of time but then never monitored them at all in the future to what
happened to them, to what they're doing now, to maybe how things have gone wrong and everything
else. And I notice they're always monitoring somebody who has no illness or no serious illness,
like neurological illness, like tremors and shakes, severe fatigue, brain fog, blurry vision,
like all of it combined, tingles, numbness on the body, weakness of the limbs,
all kinds of different body pain everywhere, jaw pain, neck pain, all of this, severe insomnia,
they don't use any of those people because if you starve those people they're going down their body
won't be able to handle it you know we're talking about people that are bedridden too let's add that
in say somebody's bedridden or spends a lot of time on mattress island you take somebody on
mattress island who's struggling even a young person on mattress island who's struggling
and they only have a few good hours a day where they can kind of function enough the rest is they
have to just rest and you take all their food away till six or seven at night and then give them a
big old sloppy greasy fat meal afterwards they're gonna get really sick adrenals are gonna be gone
nervous system is gonna be gone they're just gonna have it much harder but they're not using those
people if it was so great if intermittent fasting was so great you guys wouldn't it get the real
sick better. It doesn't get the real sick better, but it's for the not sick or someone who's got
like A1C is up there or they got like maybe type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, right? They're not really
sick. They just need to back off those big fatty meals in the morning, which we're going to go into
detail. But in the end, it doesn't make them better, better down the road. Or maybe they're
not sick, but they got some weight on them. Or they not only have some weight on them,
the cholesterol is up a little bit. But they can go and go and go. They're not bedridden.
They're not on Mattress Island with mysterious chronic illness, neurological conditions.
They're not suffering or struggling. They're not dealing with severe fatigue. They're living their
life. They're healthy, except they got some stuff going on, but they're basically healthy.
They've just been living off the lam, you know, eating too much in the morning all these years,
sausage, bacon, eggs, you know, fast food restaurants, greasy fried food in the morning,
you know, egg sandwiches every single morning, or just something heavy in the morning, like lots of
fat in the morning, butter, like butter, heart attack butter. And they're bloated. They've been
eating a big breakfast every day for many years. We're eating a big greasy lunch all these years.
They have a donut in the morning, a cookie in the morning, a coffee. And then at lunchtime,
they have some greasy thing or some fast food or a meat sandwich or a deli sandwich.
It just catches up to you after a while.
And I noticed that these intermittent fasters, they always start a vigorous exercise program
at the same time as they cut out all that heavy grease in the morning.
But take somebody who's chronically ill, who's on mattress island, even a young person.
They can't exercise hardly anyway.
They're really sick.
you take their food away, they're going to suffer. They're going to suffer greatly. And sure,
someone who's on Mattress Island shouldn't be on eggs and bacon in the morning and grease and have
greasy fatty meals during the day and pizza for lunch. Of course not. But the point is,
is intermittent fasting world believes any food in the morning, any kind, healthy or not,
including fruit makes it so you're not intermittent fasting. So the messages don't even do a healthy
meal in the morning. So that person who's on mattress island and that young person who's
really sick gets the message, whoa, I'm not supposed to eat anything. I just can't eat
anything. And everybody seems to be getting so much better on the intermittent fasting. So I
better try this because that 42 year old dude that never had a problem who can exercise in the
gym all day and drink all the coffee he wants. He's doing it and he seems to be an expert because
look at his little magazine article or his interview on a podcast and no one's accounting
for really what's going on because remember it's one size fits all. Intermittent fasting is a hack.
That's why. It's for a dude that never was really that sick who finally cleans up his diet and
decides to exercise. Or a woman who cleans up her diet, never had any real health problems,
you know, can handle like 90 degree heat, no problem, can go part of the day without eating,
no problem at all, drinks whatever they want, drinks alcohol at night, exercises when they want,
and decides to clean up their act. Like, I want to live a healthier life. I'm gaining a couple of
pounds and I'm getting a little bloated. You go on the hack, the intermittent fasting hack,
where you starve yourself, drink coffee, have a meal at night. Whoa, bloating going down a little
bit. Hey, I could still exercise for an hour in the gym. This is working out okay. It's the
ultimate hack for the not so sick person or the not sick person. Meanwhile, when you're really
chronically sick, it makes you sicker and sicker and sicker. So someone would say, wait a minute,
okay someone who's chronically sick gets sicker from this then why am i getting better from this
oh no you're improving from the hack at first you'll pay the price later it's already happened
you'll see and i'm going to cover that now there's an empire or empires built on intermittent fasting
when empires get built and believe me empires when they're getting built and built and built
They throw every single term they could and every single scientific term and everything, catchphrase, you name it, into it.
It becomes a monster out there.
And then it's built on the backs of the chronically ill.
Because the chronically ill doesn't heal from it, doesn't help them.
It's not serving them.
It's not serving the people who are really down and out, struggling, trying to survive.
All it's doing is getting some people who overindulged their whole life.
Many of them just had it made, gained a few pounds, wanted to exercise, wanted to drop
some of their bad habits, and push them forward a little bit.
That's great and all, but what about the chronically sick?
What about the chronically ill?
What about the people who are really suffering?
What about the wave of chronic illness that's developing right now in this world?
What about the chronically ill watching all the propaganda out there
on intermittent fasting, watching all the not-so-sick people
who throw out those glowing reviews on how their weight went down
and they're feeling more energetic and their skin's a little better.
Meanwhile, they were just people that weren't that sick.
But the chronically ill, they get sucked into this
because they're thinking they're just as sick as they are,
but it's not true.
When people have tingles and numbness and aches and pains
and burning skin on fire, severe insomnia,
feet are feeling like they're led, you can't walk,
dizziness, blurriness, blurry eyes, severe brain fog,
panic attacks every single other day.
I'm just naming a few symptoms, tremors, tics, spasms,
severe OCD, and they just get tricked into it.
So the empires are being built, sucking in all the chronically ill that think everybody's sick the same way they're sick.
It's a trick.
They're not.
Remember, intermittent fasting is all about that dude that was never sick, decided to try to get looking a little better so he can meet his new girlfriend, got into the gym, knocked out the steak and eggs in the morning.
Notice it was working and it took off from there.
So the chronically ill, they're all buying into it though.
They're thinking this must be the way, this must be where I'm supposed to go.
So they're buying into all the programs and all the different clicks,
meaning they're clicking all the websites and subscribing
and paying subscription fees for websites
because they're seeing all these people intermittent fast
and their doctors are like, have you tried intermittent fasting?
That might be something good for you.
Well, let's see, I could barely take a shower.
My legs feel like lead, my skin's on fire.
I've been to 10 neurologists.
let me try this intermittent fasting. I saw this guy out there, he ran 10 miles and then hopped on
a bicycle and then he looked all trim and good. And yeah, his hair might be dyed and he's got
implants and veneers in, but the guy looks like he's doing great. And I think I could try to get
like that. People don't realize it's more than this. Now I'm not denying someone doesn't get
an improvement with intermittent fasting to start with. If they're a person that's got a constitution,
they're strong to start with. No real health problems at all. And they start intermittent
fasting, they hack it, they do it, and they see some improvements. I'm not denying that.
So anybody out there listening that's saying, oh, he's so wrong. I know this one guy,
my coach, my trainer does this, my guy does this. I'm not doubting any of that.
because when that coach, trainer, or friend, or person
did the hack, intermittent fasting hack,
and got improvements, it was helping them
because for the first time in their life,
they stopped that big old bacon and egg sandwich
in the morning.
They stopped all that fat in the morning.
Maybe they stopped cakes, cookies, and donuts
in the morning or bagels in the morning.
Maybe they didn't eat that in the morning ever.
They just drank coffee, but their lunch was pizza.
Fried food, burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fast food, maybe even home-cooked foods, frozen foods.
But they were all drenched in fat.
They were fatty foods.
And maybe they stopped eating those lunches.
And so they went their morning, they went their afternoon, and they waited to nighttime.
and they got into some healthier options like leaner proteins say not as much bad carb not as
much oil on things they were just eating like some chicken breast they shed a few pounds got a little
energy back started working out more and it worked for them they got by they had a constitution they
were strong then you got the person who's been into health for a while they didn't have all greasy
foods in the morning. That wasn't their thing. They left the standard American diet a long time
ago. They've been bouncing back from vegan to animal protein to veganism again, plant-based,
then animal protein. They've been doing it for years. They got a few symptoms. They're not so,
so sick yet, but they've been told they've had a thyroid imbalance, adrenal issues,
hormones are imbalanced. They're not really, really sick, but they've had enough doctor visits
throughout the years. They got nutritionists. They care about their health. They care about
their well-being. They look at everything out there that's healthy. They're always reading
things. They get books, all of this, but they don't have a neurological disease. They're not
suffering from something neurological where they're bedridden or a mattress island. They're
living their life. They're running around. They're hitting juice bars. They're hitting vegan
restaurants. They're eating some animal products once in a while. They do back and forth. They're
always trying to look for the new trend and a new thing, but it's still not working for them.
They have a problem. They know they're not healing. They know they're not improving.
They're saying to themselves, is this as good as it gets? These are the people that do peanut
butter smoothies in the morning, throw MCT oil in everything, have coconut oil in everything,
do different types of smoothies with almond butter in that, acai bowls with nut butter on them,
eggs and a stir fry, eggs and an omelet with some spinach in it or some type of vegetable,
avocado toast, they'll have that too, beans. They'll play around with different beans.
Lunch would be a salad, hard-boiled eggs thrown on top, maybe chicken and a salad,
or pizza and a gluten-free crust, or tofu. Maybe they'll have some type of soy product,
or another smoothie with protein powder in it and some nut butter. They pride in eating
healthier options. They got experience in the health realm. They've been around. They tried a
lot of different things. Some things worked in the moment. Some things didn't. Then they got advice
from somebody else and tried it. It almost worked. Tried something else, but their health just isn't
where it should be. And then they hear about intermittent fasting and they're like, what?
Don't eat? So stop my smoothies in the morning? Stop my vegetable burritos in the afternoon?
All right. I'll just give it a try. Doing it, doing it. I'm starting to feel a little better.
My bloating's going down. I think I have a little bit more energy. Something's working okay. I think
this is really great. I think I found the holy grail. This is incredible. So the thing that these
two groups of people have in common is they have a nervous system strong enough to actually handle
the caffeine high, the caffeine syndrome. They can drink matcha tea, green tea. They can drink
kombucha tea, which is caffeine. They can drink coffee, espresso all day long. They just don't
do water all day long because if they were somebody that was sicker and couldn't handle
that much caffeine all day long because they were too sick, they had chronic illness,
neurological problems, and they just did water only, they would never survive it. You wouldn't
function from water from the time you wake up till the time you almost go to bed basically and then
you eat then it wouldn't be enough calories enough blood sugar glucose to keep you going but these
two groups of people have a strong enough nervous system they didn't get sick enough yet so they're
able to partake in the hack thinking it's the holy grail it's moving them forward and then it all
crashes down the road later. Now there are a bunch of people out there that can't go that long. They
can't go to the end of the day till almost nighttime before they go to bed. They have to
start eating at two. They have to start eating at four or three or six the latest because they don't
have a constitution like some other people do. That's why the one size fits all gang doesn't
realize everybody has a different problem, a different health state, a different mental state.
No one's all the same, but they create a trend to try to package it up as everybody's the same.
Everybody can do this. You can do this tomorrow, but it's not really true or accurate. There's
people that have panic attacks by one o'clock in the afternoon, two o'clock in the afternoon,
and they have to back out of intermittent fasting. They have to quit because it's cranking up their
anxiety and their nervous system and their constitution isn't the same as somebody else.
The reason why a lot of people say, try it. It works for me. See if it works for you. Because
it doesn't always work for you. That's why. It's a crapshoot. It's a guessing game. Because you
don't know what state that person really is in. There's people, they fall apart by 11 o'clock in
the morning if they don't get some type of fuel in them. And then there's people that are under a
lot of mental stress. They're under enormous pressure. They have needs. Their system needs
more. And then there's people that have like two or three jobs at once, really demanding work.
They work really hard morning till night. They need a lot of fuel for their brain.
They need a lot of blood glucose. They can't just stop eating and only be on coffee. That might last
for a little while, but after a week or two, they'll bottom out, they'll crash, they'll hit the
wall. And then maybe there's somebody that doesn't have a lot of demands, doesn't have a lot of work.
They're into self-care only because they have all the time in the world. They wake up in the morning
and it's all about their personal self-care. They don't have to go out, do a real demanding job.
Maybe they have a lot of resources, a lot of money. And what tires them out is they take vacations all
the time. That person might be able to sit around all day, keep themselves busy, go do appointments,
but on caffeine only. Like that's all they need is caffeine at least till three in the afternoon,
four in the afternoon, and then they can eat something. Their demands on their brain and what
people are asking of them, you know, like a school teacher with all the students and the students
needing help all the time and the faculty and all the different things you have to do and the
schedule you're on. It eventually gets tiring. And then that's different. It's like you need
fuel. It's why school teachers are known to actually be like, whoa, is your donuts ready
over there? Because we need one. Is there a bagel ready? We need it. You can't just be empty stomach
the whole entire day while you need to have your faculties working. And maybe you're somebody that
thinks I'm wrong and that you have a really busy schedule, you know, because you're running around,
you're doing a lot of things. Well, often what people don't realize, if someone's not working
a really, really demanding job, but yet they're really busy, they're driving around and doing
appointments, usually it's about self-care. So you're being serviced all day long. Got the
massages while someone's working on you. You're not working on them. So if you're a massage
therapist, you're going to need some fuel for your brain. You can't just be working on four
patients in the morning, for clients, massaging them really hard, hearing all their questions,
giving them all these beautiful things you're saying and affirmations you're telling them,
giving them light and love, working on them. That's demanding. You need fuel for the brain.
So if you're intermittent fasting as a massage therapist, you might eventually bottom out and
hit the wall. But the person who's getting serviced, that person getting self-care,
They're receiving all that.
They can be on caffeine all day, many of them,
if they have a constitution and they weren't that ill.
They can do their appointments, they can get their nails done,
and they could be serviced all day.
It's like your nails done, your massages, your facials,
then your doctor appointments.
Your doctor's working for you.
They're saying, hey, you know, this is what you need,
and you just sit there, okay, I understand, and you leave.
Or your hair appointments.
They're working on your hair.
Now, you're not the hairdresser who's standing up for 12 hours a day trying to work on people.
If they're on caffeine only every single day until 6 at night,
they're eventually going to burn out because they need glucose for the brain
and they're going to hit the wall.
But if you're sitting there getting your hair done, you're being serviced.
And a lot of people who have a lot of money and they have the resources
and they can travel and they can do all these things,
They're constantly being serviced so they can just focus on their self-care, maybe try
intermittent fasting, hold back meals because they can focus on that.
It's a big difference.
Once again, the one-size-fits-all method fails.
It's failure, failure, failure.
The industry and the trends, they're all one-size-fits-all.
I can say it.
It's the truth.
I know it pisses somebody off, but it's the truth.
It always has been.
The industry is a one-size-fits-all model.
Like take a hairdresser.
Get a hairdresser.
She's standing on her feet or he's standing on his feet for 12 straight hours counseling the clients.
Therapy.
Hairdressers do therapy on their clients.
It's not just cutting hair.
They actually counsel them.
Many hairdressers should be paid like psychiatrist fees.
And think about all that.
And then it's all the chemicals they're under too.
Hairdressers have to inhale all the chemicals and that gets in their bloodstream.
They need blood sugar to defend themselves.
Not to mention it's a physically demanding job.
Their needs are going to be different than someone else.
Especially if the hairdresser isn't well or has already health compromises, the game changes again.
Same thing for a school teacher, massage therapist, bus driver.
Or a doctor that's actually working.
A doctor that actually has a practice, a busy practice, demanding practice.
They're there at the office.
They walk in, they see the patient.
They walk out, they walk in, they see the next patient and the next patient.
They're working doctors.
Why am I saying that?
Because there's doctors that are claiming the intermittent fasting program worked great for them,
but they're not practicing doctors.
There's thousands of them out there now.
They're on the internet.
They're YouTube doctors.
they're podcast doctors they don't work they have a team of people working for them for their social
media they have money they're using money for ads and advertisements they're running an entire empire
they don't work on people they don't have to counsel people therapy with people they don't
have to give people bad news about their health they don't have to do anything they're not working
with people anymore the demand changes so the doctor who's on his feet all day who has a busy
practice may not be good with the intermittent fasting program on caffeine the entire day.
They might have to have lunch, but the podcast doctor or say doctor that wants to become famous
and wants to be a social media doctor, but not work a practice anymore. That doctor is working
on their self-care. They're doing their little ice baths and their cold baths and their cold showers
and their breathing and their meditation and they're doing their exercise program. They're
eating the way they want, they're focused on their foods, and they can do their intermittent fasting
too because they're not working. Now, to understand intermittent fasting and how it's flawed,
you have to start with the name, intermittent fasting. Now, if everybody is supposed to be
such experts, like you're counting on experts, like you are, you're like, you're thinking,
well, I'm putting my health in your hands. So you're obviously an expert intermittent fasting
empires. So you obviously must know science. Many of you have degrees. So I'm putting my
health in your hand, my life in your hand. Well, to start with, here's how it's flawed.
It says intermittent fasting. Well, the body's not fasting. Just because you skip breakfast,
you're not fasting. Just because you skip lunch, you're still not fasting. Just because you skip
dinner, it doesn't mean you're fasting either. You're just intermittent eating. You're not
intermittent fasting, you're intermittent eating. The body is not fasting unless you've gone 24
hours without any kind of carbohydrate, any kind of fuel source. And even 24 hours is a little edgy.
24 hours and one second is even better. The one second after the 24 hours. You see, our body
isn't in fast mode until the sun rises and then the sun rises again. The sun rises, you're not
eating, you go all the way till the sun rises again and you haven't eaten yet. That's when the
body starts its fasting mode. When the sun rises, our brain expects to receive food at some point.
And if you don't eat in the morning, right when the sun rises and you eat later, our brain is
still expecting to receive food. It's the daytime. Our brain is active. We're alive.
we're not sleeping. Brain isn't in shutdown mode requiring less glucose. It's awake.
As it's waiting for food and it doesn't receive it, it sends a message to your adrenals and your
adrenals start releasing adrenaline because there isn't any glucose for your brain because you're
not eating first thing in the morning. You're waiting. So adrenaline rises. It takes the place
of glucose. It's not a great thing, but it's doing it because your brain is waiting and the glucose
is what your brain really needs. So the brain uses the adrenaline as a glucose substitute.
As the day goes on, you start heading to noon. Sun's at its highest point. Your brain is still
not receiving glucose, so more adrenaline's produced as a substitute for the glucose.
Your brain is hungry though. It's starving for glucose, is looking for glucose. But as the day
goes on, there's no glucose yet. There's no food. Your adrenaline's pumping. Adrenaline's rising.
Adrenaline's getting to the brain to get the brain by.
As nighttime comes, the brain is thinking it's going to be fed again
because the sun is setting.
The brain is thinking, surely I'm going to get my glucose.
But if you don't eat for dinner and you go to bed, your brain shuts down.
When morning comes again and the sun starts rising, your brain doesn't activate your adrenals anymore.
Right at the 24-hour mark, the brain shuts down the adrenaline needs.
It stops the adrenals from running and shooting adrenaline out.
The brain has decided it's not going to be fed.
so it goes into almost like a sleep mode even though you're awake.
It's a fasting mode.
It's the 24-hour mark.
It's from sunrise to sunrise.
You're not running on straight adrenaline anymore.
You're in fasting mode.
That means time to lay around.
If you want to fast, if the person is trying to fast,
it's time to lay around, not work hard, not drive around,
not do anything, not think too hard. Your brain doesn't have the fuel it needs. You're actually
in fasting mode now. That's why intermittent fasting is not intermittent fasting. You never
fast. You're not fasting. You're intermittent eating. The real name is more like that. Maybe
the better name would be recklessly eating because that's really what it is. Why is it reckless?
because you're killing your adrenals
and you're starving your brain at the wrong time.
See, when the brain is really in fast mode,
when you've gone 24 hours on water only,
no calories of any kind, not even lemon,
not even lemon or lemon water
that would stop the body from fasting,
it has to be 24 hours only water
for the brain to realize we're in fasting mode.
It has to be sunrise to sunrise and one second after the sunrise.
This way, the adrenals shut down and the brain protects you.
This internal mechanism inside the body when we truly are fasting.
Intermittent fasting trend is the opposite.
People who actually are experts in intermittent fasting,
the science buffs or the expert buffs
or the people that are out there promoting it
and doing it and think they're actually doing a service
for so many people out there, don't realize this.
They don't know about this internal mechanism.
They don't know how the brain works.
They don't know what's happening to the adrenals.
So when you intermittent fast the trendy way,
you're not really fasting.
Instead, you're running on adrenaline.
you're robbing Peter to pay Paul over and over and over again until it all starts to crumble.
How does it crumble? Well, there's not going to be a study on how it crumbles.
No one's going to really know. No one's going to know anything, but I'll give you a couple
little pieces of information. Say you're a woman, you're young, you want to get pregnant someday.
You're planning on having a baby when you're 30. That's the time frame you're kind of like
projecting and then, or manifesting. Maybe you're manifesting, I'm going to have children when I'm
30, that's the right time for me. And then you're intermittent fasting for a few years before that
happens. And you're burning out your adrenals. You can't quite tell because you're so caffeinated.
You're caffeinated continuously. You got the stimulants going. Maybe you're not doing
intermittent fasting every single day perfectly. Maybe it's a few times a week. It still chips
away. What happens is the adrenals start to break down. They start to lose the precious reserves
they need. And women need adrenaline to give birth. A baby just doesn't pop out. It's adrenaline
that allows that to happen. Adrenaline saturates a mom's entire nervous system, central nervous
system and every single nerve in the body so that the baby gets projected out. So the strength is
there, the core, the chi, if you want to use that word, that inner strength, it's there because of
adrenaline and you need those strong adrenals. What happens with a lot of moms, their adrenals
are already toasted. Sometimes they're toasted by their second baby or the third baby. They have to
have C-sections or they have really difficult births because their adrenals were not where
they needed to be.
And then they were fatigued afterwards and their adrenals were missing hormones.
And then the hair fell out a couple of years later and they had other problems.
Your health starts to deteriorate as you go on down the road.
Intermittent fasting, I'm not saying makes all that happen, but it's a big contributor
to that adrenal weakness.
and then you got the liver problem that occurs.
The liver has to absorb and sponge up all that adrenaline,
that free radical adrenaline
that's floating around the bloodstream constantly.
See, adrenaline is a threat to the brain long-term.
The brain is just sending a signal like,
I wanna be fed, there's no blood sugar to be found,
there's no glucose, not enough glucose to be found,
so I have to send a signal to the adrenals
and get some adrenaline out to feed me for the moment,
but it's only temporary for a couple of hours.
Then I need to be fed.
But a couple hours goes by and nothing's happening.
There's no glucose.
Someone's not eating
because they're sitting there with their consciousness.
Their consciousness is being trained
by the intermittent fasting people to withhold the food.
So that consciousness is saying,
no, hold back from food.
Meanwhile, the brain is like, don't do that to me.
I need the food.
What are you doing?
I need that glucose and fuel.
So the brain sends a signal
and the adrenals are releasing that adrenaline.
But time is passing.
Too much time is passing.
It's becoming a threat to the brain now
because that adrenaline is getting old.
It's being released.
It becomes toxic after a while.
The brain is like, whoa, we need glucose fast.
We need fuel fast.
It's not coming.
And then the liver becomes a sponge.
It soaks up all that adrenaline from the morning from not eating, all that adrenaline from early
afternoon from not eating, and then more adrenaline is released all over again.
It's this vicious cycle.
The brain becomes desperate by two o'clock in the afternoon, three o'clock in the afternoon,
and it's triggering the adrenals, sending a signal to release more adrenaline.
The liver's already been overburdened.
it's already sponging and sucking up all that other adrenaline all day long.
Now more adrenaline is being released,
and the brain is becoming more desperate by the minute
and more desperate by the minute.
And then people who are intermittent fasting
are actually prompting their adrenals more and more beyond all this
because they're bringing in caffeine.
Remember, black coffee, no calories in there.
You're not allowed to have sugar in your coffee when you're intermittent fasting.
Well, that's the rules anyway.
I'm sure people break the rules and do different things,
but the rules are you can't have a sugar in there.
You can't have cream in there either.
You have to have black coffee or espressos,
black coffee, iced coffee,
but it's gotta be something like that.
You're allowed that, maybe tea, matcha tea,
but no cream and sugar,
no calories for the brain on any level,
no glucose for the brain.
Now, you get energy from that caffeine,
from that black coffee.
How's that possible?
caffeine doesn't give us energy because it's not an energy source caffeine is not a glucose it's
not a calorie but yet it goes to the brain and doesn't give us energy even though it does what
does that mean how does it work i'll tell you how it's a stimulant it makes the brain scream
help me to your adrenals. Caffeine is a drug. It prompts the adrenals, flooding your body with
adrenaline. That's what it does. You get energy from caffeine. What? No, not from caffeine. You
get energy from what the caffeine's doing to your brain and adrenals. And that energy is fake energy
because it's coming from instead of a fuel or food source,
it's coming from the depths of your body and its reserves.
Your body's precious energy source.
It's not energy that you should have messed with.
It's not energy that should have been played with.
It shouldn't have been played.
It's your deep, deep resource.
It's what keeps us going.
It's the resource we have inside our organs and our body.
it needs to be preserved for the rainy days,
for the hardships and things that come our way,
for the stress, the confrontations.
It's there for other reasons, for childbirth.
It's there for stressful situations.
It's there for a car accident.
It's there for a fender bender.
It's there for something that you're up against.
It's there for that relationship breakup.
It's there for when the boyfriend breaks up with the girlfriend,
the girlfriend breaks up with the boyfriend,
and they're just in agony.
It's there for that divorce.
it's there for that lawsuit it's there for that problem people are up against it's there for all
the different things that people in this world struggle with it's there for when you're told
that you're a bad person when you're not a bad person it's there for all these different upsets
emotionally and physically that's your precious reserves it's there to protect you and guess what
we're throwing it all away because of a bad idea now your adrenals produce a lot of your hormones
reproductive hormones too women's reproductive hormones and in the alternative health industry
it's all about hormones lately everybody's worried about their hormones everybody's going to their
doctors they're getting all their hormone profiles they're looking into everything they're worried
about the hormones reproductive hormones all kinds of hormones thyroid hormones everything
and then we're intermittent fasting and we're damaging and injuring one of our most profound
hormone producers, which is the adrenals. And then wait, all that intermittent fasting isn't good for
the liver. It's not great because the liver has to absorb all that adrenaline all day long and
that caffeine too. And it starts to slowly hinder the liver. The liver is a hormone producer as well.
But wait a minute, I get it. You're somebody that's like, you're wrong. Totally wrong, EW.
you i know somebody their blood work looks better from their intermittent fasting they got a good
doctor they're looking at all their stats and levels and i went and did it too and my blood
work looks a little better too i'm feeling a little better as well i just don't think you
know what you're talking about but see those results are a snapshot in time that's what it is
temporary results for cleaning up cleaning up what once was not great lifestyle right all the
different heavy fatty foods in the morning or fatty foods at lunchtime, maybe processed foods.
A lot of people, they do intermittent fasting. They come off the ride. They come off of the fast
foods. They come off of the pizzas. They come off of the burgers, the lunches. People know what it's
like to eat a pizza for lunch. You know what it's like, right? Remember those days? Remember? Have a
pizza for lunch. You have more than a few slices and now you're just like half asleep and maybe you
eat better than that and it's not about pizzas. But the reason why people get results with the
intermittent fasting, the real reason is because they stopped the fats. And that's why they get
results like blood sugar gets better as far as the A1C. Prediabetes can start to calm down.
Maybe they feel a little bit more energy for the moment, but either way, they're getting some
results and they're getting results in their blood test because they lowered the fats, but not just
lowered the fats, they stopped them. But here's the tricky part. That's quick results. Those are quick.
It's hack results. We get in trouble later because it's not sustainable. Bigger problems happen later.
brain problems, neurotransmitter chemical problems, neuron problems, glial cell problems,
adrenal problems, central nervous system problems, liver problems. All these things develop later.
It's sometimes fast. Six months. Blood test looks good. Doctor's kind of happy. Everything's, hey,
you're intermittent fasting. You're doing better. You're exercising. Oh, wait a minute. Why are
these liver enzymes up all of a sudden. This is strange eight months later. Oh, it can't be the
intermittent fasting because it was giving you results. See the psych out. The psych out is you
get these quick results for a lot of people, but all these other problems happen later. But because
we got some results from the start, it's referenced. So the doctor has it on his sheet
And he references, it can't be the intermittent fasting that's making your health go downhill now, sir or ma'am, because we have on record that you were improving from the intermittent fasting from the start.
So a year later, we're seeing these other problems happening like brain fog, confusion, anxiety, panic, depression, other issues too.
and then we're seeing things change
but it can't be the intermittent fasting
because it showed on record it was concrete.
There were benefits.
You actually were healing.
Something was changing.
We were seeing results
and that's where the psych out is.
The psych out is you get these quick hack results
but nobody realizes the consequences that happen later,
the ramifications that occur later and nobody knows
And the later doesn't have to be 10 years.
Like, oh, 10 years down the road, that's when something will happen.
Well, I'll rather just do this for the next 10 years than to worry about it then.
No, it can happen six months, two months later, a year later, three years later, 10 years
later for sure.
But it happens.
I know what you're thinking.
There's real science behind this.
Like there's science, there's professionals, well, there's empires built on it, lots of
professionals involved in it now.
and I'm really off the mark.
Let's talk about the benefits now that so-called science stands by
and how intermittent fasting is so beneficial.
So let's go through some of the claims that are out there,
like the claims that seem to be hardcore where they hang their hat on them.
Okay, here's one.
Reduce insulin resistance.
Well, scratching my head here,
if you don't eat in the morning,
you're not going to have high insulin resistance because there was no food eaten in the morning
so therefore the pancreas didn't release insulin therefore there wasn't insulin resistance
and then I wonder since I've been talking about that for 35 years and published it almost 10 years
ago that if you keep the fats out in the morning, you don't have the insulin resistance. And I'm
wondering, did they get it from there? Or if they did discover it themselves recently, fine. But at
the same time, it's not rocket science. It's not hard to figure this one out. If you don't eat in
the morning, your pancreas isn't going to produce all that insulin. You're going to have lower
insulin production, less insulin resistance. And yes, they're correct. There's going to be less
insulin resistance. So that claim is correct, even though there's details they're missing.
And we'll explore that a little later. Let's go to the next benefit that they claim. Human
growth hormone increases. That's the claim. So they say that human growth hormone increases,
And this is a great thing.
Yes, it does increase on the blood test, but it doesn't increase at all.
So let's go into how and why.
What they don't realize is the same amount of human growth hormone is being produced,
but they see more of it in the blood test.
And the reason why they see more human growth hormone is because the fats in the bloodstream
aren't there anymore because the person stopped eating.
They're producing the same amount of human growth hormone as they always do.
The difference is there's no fat to absorb it.
The fats you eat in the morning in your breakfast enter the bloodstream and choke out the human growth hormone,
and they can't see as much of it on the blood test.
Also, the fat in the blood on the blood test is harboring.
It absorbed some of that growth hormone and they can't see it either through that avenue
because it's in the fat itself.
They're not testing it in a serum in order to determine if that fat actually harbors
growth hormone.
But yet the same amount of growth hormone is being produced every day.
It hasn't been increased.
It's the same amount.
Now science doesn't know the fat is harboring growth hormone to even test for it in the
blood because they don't know it's about removing fat and that's why people get benefits or
improvements. They think it's just removing food. So they're not looking at the fat and they won't
look at the fat as being the problem because everybody's promoting a high fat diet. Now,
here's the other piece they're missing. When you take the food out of the diet in the morning,
you remove the breakfast and you don't eat. The reason why human growth hormone also elevates
is because of a detoxification process happening. When you remove food, specifically the fat,
which they don't know, but when you remove food in the morning, you can cleanse. That means you're
releasing old, outdated hormones that are deactivated. They don't work anymore because
that's what the human body does. It takes estrogen and progesterone and testosterone
and it eliminates it. And same with human growth hormone. It's detoxifying out of the liver,
out of organs. It's hitting the bloodstream and you're peeing it out. You're eliminating it out.
But if you take a blood test, you'll see more of it when you're not eating. More of it will be
in the blood test, but they don't know these differences. They just say, oh wait, look, okay,
write this down. And then they make this big claim. It increases your human growth hormone,
but it's so generalized. The details aren't there. It's flawed science. Once again, one size fits all.
The tools they're using, like in this case, doing the blood test is still measuring only one aspect
of it, but not measuring all these other aspects of it. So the tools they're using are one size
fits all tools. So let's go to another intermittent fasting claim. Cellular waste removal. Now this
is interesting because I'm scratching my head right now. The intermittent fasting people,
the empires built, don't believe in cleansing. They say the body does it itself. It never needs
a detox or cleanse. MMInfo all these years is all about cleansing and detoxification of cells
and organs so we can heal and then presenting tools to help us do that. Now they're saying
when you intermittent fast, cellular waste removal occurs. So I'm just scratching my head here and
I'm trying to see what this really is and it's waste removal. So waste coming out of a cell,
what waste that's detoxification that's cleansing so what they're saying is you're cleansing okay
now that makes sense in a way because when you stop eating you start to cleanse now get this
though they just think when you stop eating food that's not correct really when you stop eating
fats, you start to cleanse. So you can eat fat-free food or food with no overt fats in the morning
and still cleanse, but they don't know that, which means you can still get cellular waste removal,
the term they use now, because they didn't want to use the detox term or the cleanse term because,
hey, they wanted their own term. So they said, let's do waste removal, but yet the body doesn't
need to cleanse and the body doesn't need to detox. We'll still stand by that. And what they
don't realize, it's removing the fat that allows for their claim cellular waste removal to even
occur, not removing food itself. If you eat an orange in the morning, you still will have
cleansing power and ability. You still will have cellular waste removal. If you eat an avocado in
the morning, you won't get cellular waste removal anymore. And that's how that works. All right,
let's go to the next claim they got. Cell renewal. Oh boy. All right, this is interesting. So they
say cell renewal when you intermittent fast. Okay, well, if you're jacked up on caffeine all day long,
not getting any nutrients in you, and then you top it off with a big sloppy, greasy,
crappy meal at the end of the day. I don't know how much cell renewal you're really going to have.
And here's the other thing. Here's the real detail that's important. There's no way to determine if
it's cell renewal. They don't have the tools yet in science because you will never know the
difference between how much cell die-off you're having and how much cell renewal you're having.
It's impossible to determine.
Science might be able to determine it 500 years from now,
but all we have is a theory right now because they can't measure.
There's no measuring tool in existence right now
that can measure how many cells are renewing or being created
versus how many cells are dying or weakening.
We don't have that scientific tool yet.
It doesn't exist.
So what they're doing is theorizing because it sounds exciting.
It's like, whoa, this creates cell renewal.
This is amazing.
And it's a claim they can make that gets everybody excited.
And no one's going to really doubt it.
And anybody in health is going to be like, cell renewal?
That's awesome.
Because it hits the whole anti-aging, live forever market.
Can cells renew?
Yeah.
But you need something to make that happen.
You need something more than caffeine all day and a sloppy meal at the end of the day.
You need antioxidants, mineral salts, trace minerals, phytochemical compounds,
anthocyanins, glucose, macrominerals.
You need all of these plus more.
And you need them entering the body more than once a day.
But most intermittent fasters are not into the cell renewal game.
They're in the cell destruction game.
They got the caffeine cranking all day long.
They got the adrenaline pumping all the way.
Adrenaline is corrosive.
It's cell damaging.
That's what adrenaline does.
Caffeine, cell damaging.
And the other problem is they're not eating a pound of spinach at the end of the day
and a whole bunch of fruit where you're getting those antioxidants,
the glucose and the phytochemical compounds.
They're eating a burger.
They're eating some chicken.
They're eating other foods.
I'm not saying chicken's bad or burger's bad or what's good or bad.
I'm just saying there's no healing foods.
There's no powerful tools there.
They're not drinking 32 ounces of celery juice at the end of the day,
a pound of spinach, and a whole bunch of asparagus.
That's the last thing they're eating.
Now let's head to their next hypothesis, their next claim.
Beneficial gene expression.
So gene expression gets better, okay?
So you get better genes.
So what they're saying, the hypotheses is because they haven't seen it,
but they think changes to molecules involved with genes could help with longevity.
So it could be related to longevity.
That's the hypotheses.
Now, when you really break it down, there's nothing there at all.
They don't see anything.
They have no scientific proof.
Nothing's there.
But it's a great one to kind of throw into the mix.
It gets people excited.
Really nothing to say about it.
because it doesn't really exist.
So there is nothing to say about it.
Sure, if you're doing something better for your health,
you hope your genes are getting better.
In this case, they haven't seen it.
They don't know, but they're just going to assume it's even possible.
Okay, so here's their next claim, weight loss.
Well, all right, you take away food for as many hours as you can,
for as much of the day as you can.
you eat less uh yeah there's going to be a bunch of dudes out there that are going to lose weight
and you'll notice out there if you talk to enough people they start their intermittent fasting
program at the very same moment in time they start exercising or cranking up their exercise
they're not eating and they're like starving so then they're like i better start exercising
keep my anxiety down or whatever but either way there's different people doing different things
but most of the time they start both at the same time.
Of course, if you're not eating anymore
and you're exercising more,
you're gonna start losing some weight.
I know there's people who've already been exercising
and they're just eating whatever,
their high fat meals and their normal programs, whatever,
and then they start to intermittent fast
while they're exercising the same way
and they're losing weight too because they stopped eating.
I know there's some people out there that are gonna say,
no, I eat the same amount of calories as I always have.
I just eat it at the end of the day.
And not really, because you don't really remember what you used to do,
the binges and the different times you used to eat and the different foods.
You didn't have it all down.
You weren't measuring every calorie ever.
Now you're kind of more mindful, but no, you're eating less calories.
And so many are trying to control their cravings.
So they like their intermittent fasting program because they're controlling their cravings.
They're like craving all day, but they're trying to say,
oh no wait I'm just going to keep the coffee going in and I'm going to just keep that under
control and I'm going to reward myself at the end of the day and I'll eat whatever I want at the end
of the day but I'll hold back all my cravings all day long but here's the other thing people don't
realize their stomach starts to shrink starts to get smaller because they're not eating all day
and they're just doing some different liquids like say coffee for one right so by the time
of the nighttime comes or the end of the day, their big meal isn't as big as their meals used
to be because their stomach is not stretched as much. So their stomach is shrinking. So the meals
aren't as big at the end of the day. It's another reason why they're losing weight. So yes, the claim
of losing weight is actually real, but here's how it works. It's real because you stopped eating fat
because eating fat makes you fat.
Fat makes you fat.
That's how it works.
This is why people who do high-fat diets and work out
and lost some weight years ago
end up having to go and do intermittent fasting years later
because they can't keep their weight under control anymore.
They're working out.
They seem to be doing all the right things.
They're eating healthy meals,
but they're keeping the fats in.
they're doing the nut butters the lean proteins and they're having their mct oil and everything
else but they don't realize it it's all fat and then they need some carbs once in a while so they
throw those in too but they're trying to do it in a balanced way and it worked for them for a while
because it got them off the standard american diet many years ago and they became health experts in a
way they started training they started exercising and they started doing all that and then the weight
wasn't controllable anymore and they're like what's the next phase and they hear about intermittent
fasting so then they stop eating altogether for most of the day because really reality the constant
high fat diet is not sustainable the constant healthy high fat diet that everybody's on
that gravitates to after you've been on standard american is not sustainable so when you grow up
You go to college or you grow up and you do whatever and you're getting older and you're
eating standard American.
You eat what you want.
You have your pizza here.
You do what you want here.
And the weight is gaining.
You want to exercise and get the weight off.
And then you go high fat keto or high fat whatever or some type of other healthy high
fat diet.
And you say, whoa, found the Holy Grail.
I know my deal.
I count my macros.
I'm eating my proteins.
I'm eating my fats.
and then you start getting sicker or something goes wrong
or weight starts gaining and you're like, what is going on?
And you run into some trainer or some guy at the gym
who's like, you should intermittent fast, man.
Everybody's doing this.
So now you leave your high fat diet,
which was not sustainable.
And now you head to not eating at all
until the end of the day.
And you think you found the Holy Grail again,
but you didn't because you hit the wall
when you intermittent fast as well.
it takes time happens at a different moment for everybody but you end up hitting the wall you're
back to square one you're eating fats all over again it's not sustainable then you're intermittent
fasting then you're vacillating back and forth constantly intermittent fasting for some weeks
then going back to eating high fat diet healthy high fat diet for some weeks then intermittent
fasting and then you're just rebounding you're going back and forth back and forth cravings and
all, not getting the things you need, and you're just running around in circles and you're chasing
your tail. Because both intermittent fasting and a healthy high-fat diet are not sustainable long
term. So let's cover a couple more claims. This is fun. Heart health improves heart health. Okay,
well, if you stop pancakes with butter all over it, sausage, bacon, eggs, ham, cheese,
cream in the morning and you don't do that anymore and you don't do it for lunch either
hmm i think you might be getting better heart results somewhere along the way for sure
cardiovascular you're not butter heart attacking yourself to death you're not tanking the butter
and hopefully no one's putting butter in their coffee because that's a heart attack in a cup
but and that's also intermittent fasting gone wrong if someone is doing that and the funny thing is
yeah there's a lot of intermittent fasters that are doing all kinds of weird things and that's
one of them so yeah of course heart health improves you're not killing yourself eating
all those high fatty foods for most of the day it gives you a chance gives the heart a chance like
is it really rocket science i mean they didn't know that but they have to figure that out now
like you don't need a couple hundred million dollars in a study to try to figure that one
out. But wait, I'm mistaken. They didn't figure it out now because they didn't know it's removing
the fats that are giving them heart relief. They just think it's removing the food. So I guess they
need another 20 years or 50 years and $500 million to someday realize it was the fat that was causing
the problem, not the food. It's like you go to the scientists and say, are you guys food or fat?
do you get you get the correlation so the next claim is may prevent alzheimer's okay uh may
prevent alzheimer's i don't know where they got that from there's not one single case in the world
of someone who was dying of alzheimer's intermittent fast and then recovered it doesn't
exist. But they're claiming may prevent Alzheimer's. They got no proof. It never happened.
They don't even have one healing story of a grandma that doesn't know where she is,
doesn't know what street she lives on. She has Alzheimer's. It's really bad. The whole family's
worried. They're losing her. They don't have one healing story like, oh my God, my grandma,
she was losing it she was dying from alzheimer's in fact they were like well she only has like a
year left and she did intermittent fasting you guys she withheld from food all day long we had
her jacked up on coffee she ate a big old sloppy meal at the end of the day and she healed we don't
have one healing story so i love when they say may prevent alzheimer's and then we're supposed
to chomp at the bit like oh my god like that's incredible i better start now the other thing is
how many grandmas can starve themselves the entire day like 16 hours without food
like does your grandma do that how many grandpas can do that does your grandpa do that or is he in
the cookie jar or is he in the cakes and goodie jar or the cupboard getting a snack out like are
you kidding? Like how many Alzheimer's patients that are a grandpa or grandma that you know can
sit there and not eat all the way until eight o'clock at night or six o'clock at night? Huh?
They usually chocolate cake and everything else under the sun. And on top of that, if they have
Alzheimer's, you got to be the one to feed them, right? If they're really bad off, you got to be
the one to get them the meals. So are you going to be like, well, I'm doing an experiment on my
grandpa right now we haven't fed him yet he's uh he's might be hungry uh his blood sugar might be
really low it doesn't have any energy he doesn't seem he wants to go outside and do anything
so we're holding food from him let's see it's two o'clock i'm looking at my clock now
no grandpa you're not gonna feed you i know you just you got alzheimer's but no we're not gonna
feed you uh four o'clock grandpa we're not gonna feed you yet seven o'clock at night no grandpa
we're going to try to do the intermittent fasting program that this guru does, you know,
this guru trainer guy or whoever, we're going to feed you at nine o'clock tonight and then you can
eat. Okay. I'm glad grandpa. I know you waited the whole day, but we're going to do this every
single day to determine if it helps prevent Alzheimer's. You know, when you really think
about intermittent fasting and you really break it down, like starve your kids, starve your
teenagers, starve young adults, starve your grandparents to try to get a result because
you don't know what else to do. It's insane. All right. So let's do one of our last claims.
Reduce inflammation. Okay. Reduce inflammation in the body. So if you're intermittent fasting,
the claim is you can reduce inflammation in the body. Well, yeah, you kind of can.
there's a good chance you will the reason why is because you're not having gluten in the morning
they don't know that but you're not having gluten in the morning you're not having dairy in the
morning they don't know that either and then you're not having eggs in the morning they don't
know that because they believe eggs is a great protein and you're not eating corn in the morning
You're not doing soy in the morning,
but they don't know that.
See, they just think food in general.
You're not eating food.
And because you're not eating food,
you're reducing your inflammation.
But they don't know what causes inflammation
unless they know the MM info all these years,
which is pathogens cause inflammation,
but they don't know that.
They don't know that Epstein-Barr or shingles
or sedemegalovirus or herpes simplex 1 or HHV6
causes inflammation in the body. They never knew that. That's original medical medium information
all these years, published information that science actually uses and takes medical medium
information for themselves illegally. And so, but they don't know this. They just think food,
food stops. You don't eat food anymore in the morning. So inflammation goes down. They're like,
yay, we found something, but they don't know why.
Because you're taking away specific things
that could be in the mix of that food,
like gluten, which feeds viruses,
eggs, which feeds viruses,
corn, soy, dairy, which feeds viruses,
pathogens, and bacteria.
Those things eat those very specific things.
And then those pathogens create the inflammation,
but they're not there yet.
They're not that far advanced yet.
They're just at the point where they're scratching their head going,
okay, food's removed.
That person's aches and pains are less.
Oh, here's a great claim.
May reduce inflammation.
So let's talk about a little bit of a different topic here.
Swelling, edema.
A lot of people are swelling.
They feel swollen.
And when they intermittent fast, the swelling goes down.
But like I said, remember this,
it's not sustainable because people who are swelling wafer back and forth they vacillate
back and forth they stop eating their swelling goes down and then they got to eat again
and they're eating eating and then they get swollen again and now they have to stop eating again
and then they de-swell they de-swell they swell they de-swell they swell swell more swell more
and then boom, have to go all the way back.
Intermittent fast, intermittent fast.
So they're fast-leading back and forth,
swelling, deswelling.
Now, how do they deswell from intermittent fasting?
They're stopping the foods
that are contributing to their swelling
because inside the food is the problem.
What food, what is it?
Is it gluten?
Is it dairy products?
Is it eggs?
You might be like, I don't do gluten,
but you do eggs.
I don't do eggs, but you do cheese.
What is it?
And so these different foods feed pathogens,
but that's just one avenue right there.
I'll give you another option.
What if you're somebody that's like,
I don't do dairy, I'm vegan, I'm plant-based,
I still swell, I eat very healthy AW,
I have oatmeal, I put peanut butter in my oatmeal,
I have avocado toast, I do different things.
I have smoothies with protein powders,
plant-based protein powders.
And I find, AW, that if I stop eating altogether, my swelling goes down.
Yeah, when your situation, it's liver.
It's an inflamed liver, pathogens inside the liver itself,
a liver that's overburdened, stagnant, and sluggish.
Maybe you got too many heavy metals combined with it all,
but your liver is struggling.
So you have to stop your plant-based foods in the morning,
even if those plant-based foods
are necessarily feeding pathogens that you have,
it's still burdening the liver.
You're at the point in your life and your health
where you actually have to withhold from food
to get a result, to get the swelling down
because the fat in your foods,
the peanut butter, the almond butter,
the coconut oil, the avocado, whatever it is,
those fats are burdening the liver so much
that you're in a different position in your life.
You have to stop those fats
even if you're plant-based in the morning
or you have to stop your plant-based fats during the day,
the daytime as well.
So you're that person that's like,
well, okay, in the morning, I'm not eating those anyway.
And well, if you're eating them during the day,
it gets in the way as well.
And then you might be that plant-based person.
It's like, well, I intermittent fast
and I found being a vegan, I don't eat breakfast.
I don't eat lunch.
Yes, I drink coffee.
Yes, I have caffeine.
I try to push all the way to 4, 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock before I eat.
Yeah, you're withholding all those fats again.
And then your swelling goes down.
The fats are contributing to the swelling.
And fats also stop the body from cleansing or healing
so that you can't get rid of pathogens
if you're always cranking the fats in the diet.
And the bummer is it's so sad
because health influencers have no idea why anyone is really sick to begin with,
but they're pushing everybody into intermittent fasting as if it's a cure,
then when they do eat, they eat the wrong foods.
So people aren't being taught to go the right direction to heal or what to eat.
They're not eating healing foods for their actual symptoms and conditions,
the very reason why they're getting sick.
Now a lot of people are intermittent fasting because of swelling, because they're getting so inflamed and swollen and their body doesn't feel good.
It's not just fat or weight of fat, it's water retention.
And for years I've talked about this where if someone's overweight, they may only be 10 pounds overweight with 10 pounds of water retention and edema.
They may not be 20 pounds of fat on their body.
They may have 10 pounds of fat or 15 pounds of fat and 10 pounds of water, swelling, fluid.
They're retaining fluid.
And I've talked about this for over 35 years.
When someone says, well, that person's 250 pounds when they're supposed to be only 180 pounds,
they got, you know, that much more fat on them.
it's like, well, wait a minute, there could be 30 pounds of retaining fluid, edema happening,
and then the rest is fat. So when that swelling goes down in a day, they look like they lost 10
pounds, like 10 pounds fast, 10 pounds a week, especially if they just stop eating. All of a
sudden, they lose this initial swelling. They don't lose fat. They just lose all this water
retention, the fluid, the swelling of the fluid. But different people swell for different reasons
because I know the alternative movement, once again, is one size fits all. They just think
everybody's got the same swelling problem, but they don't. Some people are really viral,
low-grade viral infections, and these viral infections inhabit their liver, making their
liver so sluggish and toxic that their lymphatic system starts to gain fluid because their liver
is so clogged up. And then you might have somebody else. It's a little different. It's not just a
low-grade viral infection. And somebody else might have a stagnant, sluggish liver without the
pathogen problem, the low-grade viral infection. Instead, a really fatty liver with lots of
different toxins in them. And then you got people with salt addictions. They're salted out. They got
salt deposits inside of them everywhere. Their liver has salt deposits in it. Their bloodstream
is high in sodium. They got salt everywhere. And then they're addicted to the flavor. They need
that salt flavor. And there's people that say, hey, I don't add salt. I never add salt to anything.
No way. I'm not really big on salt. Meanwhile, they're eating so much salt, they don't even
realize that they go buy a sandwich somewhere and the thing is salted out 10 ways to Sunday
because they don't know. And then they go eat over somebody's house or family makes them something
to eat or salt in coffee. That's another thing. People don't realize it. They make coffee more
addictive because the coffee shops put salt in the water. Sodium is in the water at the coffee shops.
It's salty coffee and everybody's drinking it down and they don't realize it.
And then sauces everywhere, different condiments and sauces, tomato sauce, salt everywhere.
And then restaurants eating out takeout food.
Even if it's healthy vegan takeout food or vegetarian takeout food, it's extra salty.
Everybody's salted out and then they'll have some chips, healthy chips.
They're salty too.
Salt gets so out of control, they're swelling.
They're swelling everywhere.
They stop eating, they intermittent fast,
they don't realize it, but they just back down the salt.
That brings down the swelling, that alone.
Now you'll often hear from people who intermittent fast
that they can think more clear.
They got clarity, like they're not as fogged.
And one of the reasons is they're avoiding a lot of foods
in the morning or during the day that would bog them down,
slow them down, and starve their brain of glucose. For example, they're eating high fatty foods
during the morning or during the afternoon. You get high blood fat. High blood fat creates
insulin resistance. It stops critically needed glucose and sugar from getting to your brain.
And when that glucose gets to the brain, you think more clear. Now what they're doing is
they're avoiding all food altogether, so they're avoiding the fats. They're not having the fats
anymore, but they're having the caffeine. So now they're running on adrenaline and they think more
clear in the moment. But this is robbing Peter to pay Paul again, because in the end you get burnout,
neurotransmitter burnout, neuron burnout, brain deficiencies. You lose even precious resources
like melatonin in your brain, and you just slowly burn out over time. Anxiety creeps up,
depression creeps up and then you break and you end up quitting your intermittent fasting program.
How do we nourish ourselves? How do we give our body what it needs? All the nutrients,
all the glucose, all the trace mineral salts. How do we fuel ourselves so we can function
without being jacked up on a drug like caffeine? How can we give ourselves the nutrients we need
to power us through the day, but yet not get sick, instead reverse our conditions and our symptoms
and live our life to the best of its ability and not have to be on a stimulant. How can we do it
in a kind way, a kind way to our body, kind way for our children, our parents, our friends,
our loved ones? We don't naturally come into this world and someday say, I don't want to be a
fireman. I want to be an intermittent faster. I don't want to be a school teacher. I want to be
an intermittent fasting person. No, I want to intermittent fast. Hey, I'm in fifth grade right
now. Hey, do you guys want to intermittent fast someday where you don't eat all your fun foods
and don't eat pizza and anything else and breakfasts? What do you mean? No more waffles
in the morning? Leggo my ego. No more that? No more cereal? Yeah, no, we're just going to starve
ourselves all day long until the end of the day at night. Really? Does that sound like a good idea?
Yeah, that's what we're going to do. I'm going to go to college and someday be an intermittent
fasting person. When I go out to lunch with my friend in college, I'm going to say, well,
I'm not eating until nine o'clock tonight. That's what I inspire to be and do. It's not a natural
process to just withhold food every day. So how do we do this right? To start, there's not one way
to do it. Everybody's different. Everybody has different problems. Some people have a really
strong constitution. They haven't been taken down by pathogens. They don't have a lot of heavy metals.
They don't have a lot of toxins and poisons. That person might just need some celery juice in the
morning and not have to eat till noon. At least they're getting their trace mineral salts and a
little bit of glucose and hydration. And then it all depends on what time you wake up in the morning.
It might be somebody that wakes up really early or somebody that wakes up at 10 o'clock
in the morning, 11 o'clock in the morning.
That changes the game too.
If you wake up really early, you start your day early and you go to work, you're going
to need some glucose eventually.
So you might need some fruit or a smoothie.
So not just celery juice or cucumber juice or just lemon water.
You might need all of it and then some apples along the way to take you to noon.
What you want to do is leave out the fats.
No nuts, no seeds, no nut butters, no oils, no coconut oil, no MCT oil, no eggs, dairy products,
meats, chickens. Keep the fats completely out at least before noon. You're not bombarding your
bloodstream with all that fat. Fat blocks the sugar from getting into your cells. Fat blocks
the glucose from getting to your brain. Fat creates the insulin resistance, not the sugar.
And that's a mistake made with intermittent fasters. They don't know this. So they withhold
all food, starving their brain, starving their body, starving their liver. Their bloodstream
loses the glucose. What people don't think about is their heart is a muscle. Their muscles need
glucose. It's critical. But if there's no glucose because you're holding back all the food,
you're starving yourself from the sugars you need,
then your heart is not getting the glucose,
the sugar it needs to feed itself.
Your heart gets stressed.
Your brain gets stressed.
Your liver gets stressed.
Your body gets stressed.
And this is something intermittent fasters
don't realize they're doing.
But at the same time, they're feeling a little better
because they're not eating so much garbage
and so much fat throughout the day.
So the goal is to cleanse, detox, restore,
renew cells for real, get nutrients to them,
get sugar to the brain, sugar to the heart,
get mineral salts to the brain and nervous system.
All of this while being productive, living your life,
not overburdening your liver, not tanking out on fat all day,
meaning you're eating fatty foods throughout the day,
not realizing it, and getting insulin resistance.
Instead, you're getting better workouts,
fueling your heart, fueling your muscles,
fueling your brain and nervous system.
and being productive. Now listen, there's a lot of ways to do this, good ways to do it right.
So many different options. You might be that person that doesn't want to eat till four or six,
but yet you need some kind of fuel, but yet you don't want to actually eat food. Well then,
that's when the juices come in. That's when coconut water comes in. That's when lemon water
comes in. You could always do the lemon water and then into celery juice or cucumber juice,
than into coconut water and then do that until four or six.
But that's only if you're somebody with a strong constitution,
you're kind of used to not eating that much food or fuel.
But what if you're somebody that's sick
and you got a lot of neurological symptoms
and you need more fuel or you're up against a lot of stress?
Now, here's a little disclaimer.
There's lots of options because that's the whole point.
It's not one size fits all.
Each person is at a different place in their life.
There are people that they got to eat something every hour because of their adrenal glands.
Their adrenals are shot.
They have to make sure they fuel themselves every hour, hour and a half.
And then there's people who do want to eat fat at some point during the day.
They don't know it, but they feel like satiated on some type of chicken or meat.
And it's the fat that's kind of giving them that satiation at night.
Well, save those fats to the end of the day.
That could be a whole nother person where all day long you're doing lemon water, your celery juice, then your coconut water, then a fruit smoothie, then a salad, baby with steamed potato.
And then at the very end of the night, you have your animal protein or your plant fats or something like avocado salad again.
Or you have something else like a nut butter if that's what you live on, that you love.
Everybody's different.
There's so many different options.
Say you're somebody that gets up and coconut water works good for you.
So you can do a lot of that.
And then you're not big on fruit.
Say you do some oatmeal, you can do some maple syrup or honey in your oatmeal,
but don't do the nut milks, the nut butters.
Don't put the fat on top of the oatmeal because that's when you get in trouble.
And then if you do like a little bit of fruit,
you can always put some berries and other pieces of fruit on your oatmeal if you'd like.
That might be able to carry you to lunchtime or after.
If you're somebody that's trying not to eat as much, at least you got some kind of fuel to fuel your brain and fuel your bloodstream with all the glucose you need.
And then you might be able to do some steamed vegetables that day and some steamed vegetables on top of a salad of greens, leafy greens.
So you're getting all your mineral salts.
But on that salad, don't put oils, don't put avocado, don't put chicken, don't put fish, don't put bean on there, don't put eggs on there.
you don't want a fat on there. Remember, you're keeping the fats out. If you don't want to be
fat-free for the day, the fats come later, at the end of the day. If you're an animal protein person,
that's when you apply the animal proteins because animal proteins equal animal fat.
So at the end of the day, your animal fat comes in then. If you're a plant-based person,
plant fats comes at the end of the day. That means if you're somebody that always eats nut butter,
or avocado, you're bringing those in later on your last meal of the day, really, preferably.
So you're doing your intermittent fasting in a way. You're doing the thing that you avoided all
day, which is the fats, but you do it at night at the end of the day. But this is the healthier
version because all day long, you're getting fuel and the things you need. A lot of influencers
are adopting medical medium tools with their intermittent fasting programs. They all drink
celery juice in the morning and then they drink their coffee all day long and have their meals
at the end of the day. The celery juice is carrying them, helping them, bringing things back to them.
That's why they're doing it. The sodium cluster salts in celery juice are feeding their brain,
their neurotransmitters, their neurons. It's making them stronger while they're doing something that's
not good for them like caffeine all day. The celery juice is allowing them to do more of the things
that aren't helpful.
At the same time, the celery juice is restoring
their hydrochloric acid reserves
because their stomach glands are depleted of HCL.
It's part of what contributes to their bloating.
And then a lot of them have bacteria problems in their gut,
bad bacteria, streptococcus.
That contributes to the bloating as well.
And the celery juice is killing off the bad bacteria,
lowering the amounts of bad bacteria they have in their gut.
And then the celery juice is also knocking other pathogens down.
A lot of people have the Epstein-Barr and the low-grade viral infections.
So they got a little bit of that mild fatigue and they got a little bit of aches and pains
and they don't feel good.
So the celery juice is knocking down the viral load and the bacterial load and restoring
the HCL.
And at the same time, the celery juice is bringing bile reserves back, restoring the
liver and helping them cleanse. All that's happening from their daily celery juice every
single day, but then they still tell everybody they're intermittent fasting and the credit goes
to the intermittent fasting, but they don't tell someone they're doing the celery juice. So the
next person says, well, I'm going to do the intermittent fasting and they don't do any
celery juice. If you're looking to customize an option that's right for you for what's happening
inside your body because everybody's different with what's going on inside of them. Different
pathogens, different pathogen loads, toxic heavy metals, different toxins and poisons, different
life experiences like stressors, different demands and hardships. Then check out Cleanse to Heal.
So a lot of different cleanses in there, a lot of different protocols. You can customize it to
what's right for you. You can learn about the lemon water, learn about the celery juice,
learn about the heavy metal detox smoothie.
There's a heavy metal detox cleanse.
There's a medical medium morning cleanse.
There's mono cleanses in there.
If you have serious digestive problems,
you live with a lot of bloat, pain, gastric distress.
The book has a lot of information in detail
so you can customize it for yourself.
So you can learn how to work with not having the fats
so you lose the insulin resistance
and you can do cleansing and healing.
And you can also use the book
if you're an animal protein person
or if you're a plant-based person.
Also, there's the 369 Cleanses,
369 Advanced Cleanse in there
and the Anti-Bug Cleanse
because so many people are buggy.
They got sicknesses and symptoms
because they have so many different varieties of bugs.
H. pylori and the Herpes Simplex 1,
the HHV6 and the Epstein bars.
Everybody's dealing with something inside of them
that changes the roles.
The Medical Medium Book Series,
it's there for people to customize their healing,
to do what's right for them
because not everybody's the same
and one size doesn't fit all in order to heal.
Everybody has a different experience
and a different problem.
And so we need to address it and we need options
so people can customize and take their healing
as far as they need to go.
Before we get to the ending of the show,
I just want to leave you with one last thought.
When we're intermittent fasting,
we're doing it on planet Earth.
We're doing it here in this solar system.
This planet is the size it is.
It takes 24 hours for it to revolve and turn,
for the sun to rise and the sun to rise.
Think about being in a different solar system,
on another planet,
And what would intermittent fasting be like there?
What if it was a planet that was larger than the earth?
Very well could be.
And it took 48 hours for that sunrise, for that sun to rise.
Or took longer.
And what would it be like during the day as you're intermittent fasting?
Instead of fasting for 12 hours and not eating food before you eat your dinner,
you might be waiting 20 hours or maybe even 30 hours.
Just wanted to leave you with that last note.
It's easy to be confused about food, feel stuck about what we are eating,
feel lost about what we are choosing, what we're trying to avoid.
The roadmap to healing is hard when we don't have a clue.
It's not our fault.
Everyone going through a struggle ends up scrambling.
It's true.
When you're young and strong and haven't been in the shoes of someone who has been there,
who's been deeply wronged and is really sick,
and what you reference in your life isn't what they, the really sick, have referenced in their life.
It's like the Wild West out there in the world of health.
everyone who's alpha and their ego won't back down and they are not yet affected by sickness
and try to make a name for themselves not all are like this though there are angels among the masses
and there are beacons of light who have been through hell and back and have every right to
preach and teach classes wise ones that fought their way out of the woods broke out of unwellness
left the darkness and then became reborn with purpose and knowledge and have great compassion
for the ones that have been misled all along the path. They know what it was to feel barely alive
and just about half dead, but have more words of wisdom now than anything said in the trendy
health realm of games that mess with people's heads. Remember these words for they are tall
and the truth derails the darkness so it doesn't stay above all.
The confusion and illusion, the medicine delusion,
creates its own downfall.
And all that's good and healing sits in your hands
and allows what you wanted all along.
Thank you.
