Waist Away: The Intermittent Fasting & Weight Loss Podcast

(0:20) Hey guys, welcome to today’s episode. (0:23) And we have Greg, the hydrogen man and, or you can call him the H man. (0:28) He is a serious hydrogen therapy guy.

(0:32) He is just all about molecular hydrogen therapy. (0:36) It’s been his passion for over 10 years. (0:39) And we’re going to be talking about the hydrogen fast, how to get (0:42) your health to a whole new level.

(0:45) So Greg, welcome. (0:47) Thank you so much for having me. (0:49) So one of the things that you talk about is something (0:53) called the hydrogen fast.

(0:56) So I’m really curious about that. (0:58) What is that and how has that kind of changed your life? (1:04) So hydrogen fasting is something that I invented, you know, I was really sick. (1:09) So technically I’m not even supposed to be alive right now.

(1:11) I was extremely ill. (1:13) I had numerous, you know, health and medical problems. (1:16) And what a lot of people don’t know about me is that I actually worked in (1:19) the medical field for like two decades.

(1:21) So a long time, I really understand how it all worked. (1:24) I knew what happened behind the scenes. (1:26) And when I got sick, it was absolutely terrible because I knew the gauntlet (1:31) that I would have to go through.

(1:32) And I really didn’t want any part of it. (1:34) I was definitely not a health guru at the time. (1:36) I really didn’t understand a lot about health.

(1:39) And so I had to find my own way and I’m a real data driven guy. (1:43) So I’m not really big on just opinions. (1:46) You know, there’s a lot of opinions out there.

(1:48) It was very frustrating for me to watch different podcasts and listen to (1:52) different people, even doctors where they are all basically (1:55) contradicting each other. (1:57) And one of the things that I obviously found was fasting and I (2:00) definitely did a lot of fasting and fasting is important, but it’s (2:03) very important to do it correctly. (2:05) And what I mean by being data driven is I really look at a lot of scientific (2:09) studies rather than listening to whether it’s a doctor or a naturopath or whoever (2:14) really, because everybody has, again, their opinions and I’m just, I (2:19) wanted to just go off of data.

(2:20) I’ll give you an example. (2:21) So for example, you know, you’d watch some podcasts and somebody will say, (2:24) Hey, alkaline water is the best water to drink. (2:27) Somebody will say, no, no.

(2:28) Spring water is the best water to drink. (2:29) And somebody will be like, no, you should be drinking this, you know, this (2:32) ionized water stuff or even hydrogen stuff. (2:35) And so there’s so many different opinions and, oh no, you should (2:38) only drink distilled water.

(2:39) And so there were so many differences of opinion on what the best water was. (2:43) And so I just did critical thinking and I thought for myself, like, what (2:47) do I really want out of my water? (2:48) Because water is super crucial when fasting, it’s extremely important (2:53) to do fasting correctly, in my opinion. (2:56) Okay.

(2:56) I will say that a hundred percent, you know, and I will say, I (3:00) don’t give any medical advice. (3:01) I don’t make any medical claims and everything I’m stating (3:04) today are just my opinions. (3:06) You know, I’m not making any claims for or against any product or products.

(3:09) I just really need to say that out there because this is important. (3:12) And so the critical thinking that I did with water was, I just thought to myself, (3:16) I just want water that’s clean, like the cleanest water, meaning I (3:20) don’t want any chemicals in it. (3:22) I don’t want certain things in it.

(3:24) And unfortunately I ended up having to become a specialist in new (3:27) skills when trying to get my health back and save my life basically. (3:31) And one of the things that I got, I literally have a lab test right here. (3:35) So this is a third party lab test and there’s literally pages of all these (3:42) chemicals, I mean, pages of pages.

(3:45) I’m just the craziest stuff in our water. (3:48) Some of the stuff that really surprised me on the lab tests is yes, you know, (3:52) pesticides, pharmaceuticals, but these are the other ones that really surprised me. (3:56) There’s so many, I had no idea.

(3:57) We have radioactive contaminants in our water. (4:00) I had no idea that one actually scared the hell out of me. (4:04) And then, and who would it affects the most children, you know, little babies (4:07) and children, because their bodies aren’t fully developed, clean water is so (4:11) essential to health, in my opinion, is just crucially important.

(4:14) And then on top of it all bacteria, viruses, cysts, parasites, and all these (4:22) biological contaminants in our water. (4:25) And how do you really clean it out? (4:27) And so I looked at every water filtration modality that exists. (4:30) I know every single way of filtering water.

(4:33) And there is really only one way that truly, fully purifies water. (4:38) And that is carbon distillation. (4:40) You know, and if you want to see the product that I use, you know, the (4:43) website’s called mypurewater.com. (4:45) If people want a discount code, they can use the code uprising, (4:47) one, four, four K if they want to.

(4:49) You don’t have to, it doesn’t matter, but it does give you a discount. (4:52) So that’s how I did everything. (4:53) Everything was based on laboratory studies, scientific evidence.

(4:58) And then I realized that Japan was way ahead of the curve when it came to (5:02) really understanding, not only like water and diet, you know, things of this stuff, (5:08) this magnitude that really helped me overcome my health problems. (5:11) And then I learned about cider. (5:13) So hydrogen was, (5:14) well, first I want to, first I want to stop right there.

(5:17) Cause I want you to answer that question. (5:19) Cause I think this is a huge controversial topic, you know, like you just said, (5:25) alkaline, hang in water, uh, distilled water, spring water. (5:31) And so I want you to actually talk real quick about what the pros and cons of (5:38) having alkaline water or distilled water or having spring water or hydrogen water.

(5:45) All right. (5:45) So this is, this, that’s a really good question too. (5:48) When you say King and water or alkaline water, it’s actually bathed because you (5:54) can make alkaline water in many ways.

(5:56) You can literally take tap water, put baking soda in it and boom, it’s alkaline (6:01) water. (6:01) Is that going to solve all your problems? (6:02) In my opinion, definitely not. (6:04) So the King and machines actually caused, in my opinion, I say, in my opinion, (6:10) okay, I’ll say in my opinion, but I did read studies and research on this.

(6:14) The problem with research, and this goes for anybody who’s doing scientific (6:19) research, is that there’s a difference between short-term data and long-term (6:23) data. (6:24) So the reason that the King is became so popular is because in short-term data (6:27) looked really good. (6:28) And everybody thought, oh my gosh, these King and machines are amazing.

(6:32) Um, look at the data. (6:34) The problem is then the long-term data, the long-term data did not look good. (6:38) And then it was like, why is this happening? (6:41) Everybody thought it was because of the pH of the water that it had these (6:44) benefits, which ended up not being true by the way, because again, we can make (6:47) alkaline water very easily.

(6:49) And that alkalinity is different. (6:52) That alkaline water is not from putting a mineral. (6:54) It’s not from putting baking soda.

(6:56) It’s through ionization of the water. (6:58) So all these different alkaline waters are actually not, they’re not the same. (7:02) So we’re using one word for something that it depends on how (7:05) you actually go about doing it.

(7:06) Same thing goes for hydrogen. (7:07) There’s numerous ways to make it. (7:09) And in my opinion, there’s the right way, which is the medical way that I (7:12) researched, and there’s definitely the wrong way.

(7:15) And there’s a lot of that going on these days. (7:16) So sorry that it’s a little confusing. (7:19) So basically the King and machines are creating this alkaline water that (7:24) appears to cause issues with your GI system after long-term usage.

(7:27) But why is it causing an issue with the GI? (7:29) Because what happens is your stomach’s actually designed to be acidic. (7:33) You’re, you’re literally having these acids in your stomach and you’re (7:36) designed to have them because they have a function and the function of them (7:39) are to break down food properly. (7:41) So that you can properly absorb nutrients.

(7:43) It’s even there to kill certain pathogens so that you don’t (7:46) get those in your system. (7:47) Now, this is a scientific fact. (7:49) Anybody can research it as we age, we make less and less stomach acids.

(7:54) So by using something like the King and it actually was disrupting that (7:58) and causing issues with people’s acidity in their stomach. (8:02) So it’s, it’s actually something that in my opinion, it’s very (8:04) problematic and causes more problems that it solves. (8:07) Then later on, they found out that it was never the pH that was given the (8:11) benefit when it had to do with the King and the King and machines were (8:14) inadvertently literally by accident, making a little bit of hydrogen.

(8:18) And that’s where the benefit really appeared to be coming from. (8:21) And so then the Japanese have been doing research on the hydrogen thing a lot. (8:26) And once they figured out that it was really the hydrogen that appears (8:29) to be bringing all these results.

(8:30) And there’s not just like 50 studies or a hundred studies at this point, I believe (8:33) there’s over 2000 studies so far. (8:36) It’s something that is now not only very medically legitimate, (8:39) it’s actually medically approved. (8:40) So they use hydrogen gas in Japan.

(8:43) It’s medically approved and they use it for different things. (8:46) It’s actually really fascinating, but I won’t go into those details at this time. (8:49) So in order to make the best hydrogen water in the world, and also just hydrogen (8:53) gas, because I inhale it for my health.

(8:55) Also, I have it right here actually. (8:57) And so ultimately the best way to do it, in my opinion, was I clean my water to (9:02) the highest degree, which is carbon distillation. (9:05) So that just fully cleans the water.

(9:06) If you want to add minerals to it, you can, I have some, I put very little in (9:10) there, I found that you really want most of your minerals, some of your food (9:14) actually, but then you put it in a proper hydrogen machine. (9:18) So I use the best one in the world. (9:19) I don’t mess around when it comes to hydrogen, because there’s little (9:22) machines out there, like for example, I don’t know if you’ve ever received (9:24) these like little bottles that they claim to make hydrogen and they do make some, (9:28) but I’m not a fan of these at all.

(9:30) Uh, mostly because, well, they are made in China. (9:32) I’m sure everybody thinks that China’s really has our best health at their best (9:36) interest, but I don’t know if I believe that, but, um, I’ve seen the lab tests (9:40) of the membranes and what they’re made of the metal that they use. (9:44) When you go through the process of ionization to extract hydrogen, (9:46) they’re using plated metal.

(9:48) Uh, China doesn’t have the best technology when it comes to (9:51) And so the device I use is Japanese. (9:55) So I use it and it happens to be the number one device in all of Japan and (9:58) medical professionals were actually hydrogen specialists in Japan. (10:02) This is the machine that they use and recommend, which is called the (10:04) Lourdes hydro fix that people want to see it.

(10:07) The official site is called only hydrogen.com. (10:09) If people want to go see the equipment that I use, when you put pure hydrogen (10:14) and fully dissolve it into water, because that’s what we’re doing. (10:16) We’re dissolving a gas, molecular hydrogens, a gas. (10:20) You dissolve it in the water and whatever water you choose.

(10:23) Now with the King and you can’t do that because the King and you have to (10:26) actually hook it up to your water line. (10:29) And then they have filters that they use, which I’m not a fan of the filters (10:32) they use because I like the cleanest water in the world, the device that I (10:36) use, you can put any water you want. (10:38) So I have a very separate device for carbon distillation.

(10:40) And then I put whatever I want. (10:42) The water I wanted the device to saturate the hydrogen in there (10:45) and hydrogen is pH neutral. (10:48) So it shouldn’t affect the pH.

(10:49) It doesn’t make your water out going. (10:51) It’s also odorless, colorless, and tasteless. (10:54) And the health benefits are obviously pretty dramatic.

(10:56) That’s literally what saved my life. (10:58) I made a lot of changes in my life. (10:59) I tried all sorts of different diets.

(11:01) I tried all sorts of different supplements. (11:03) I tried all sorts of different technologies. (11:05) I saw numerous doctors, nothing was helping me.

(11:08) And it wasn’t until I created basically this protocol of my own. (11:11) And part of it is the cleanest water. (11:13) I definitely did fasting.

(11:15) And that’s actually when I invented the hydrogen fast, which nobody really (11:19) knows about because I, I invented it. (11:21) And so I do a specific fast using hydrogen and the cleanest water in the world. (11:27) And of course I load up on nutrients before doing a fast, because in my (11:31) opinion, that’s very important because fasts deplete you quite a bit.

(11:35) And so that’s how I went about it. (11:37) Not only did I transform my life, I started using this technique on other (11:40) people, specifically people in like my family or friends. (11:44) Like, uh, one of the really good examples, somebody close to me, you know, having (11:48) issues with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, and (11:53) glaucoma, all those issues went away with the hydrogen technique that I use with them.

(11:57) And it was so dramatic. (11:58) That’s when I really was like, holy cow, this is doing not only something for me, (12:02) but it’s working for other people. (12:04) And then since then I started my YouTube channel and I just (12:07) get the information for free.

(12:08) I just want people to, to have this information because there’s too many (12:11) people suffering in the world today. (12:13) And I just want people to have an avenue because I know what it’s like to suffer. (12:17) I mean, my medical condition just totally ruined my life for people who don’t (12:21) know, I had tumors all over my body.

(12:23) I had a heart condition that was supposed to end my life. (12:25) And I was told I needed open heart surgery. (12:27) I had autoimmune issues.

(12:29) I had inflammation all over the place to the point where I literally couldn’t lift (12:32) up or remote control and like try to change a channel on a television (12:35) because my joints hurt that bad. (12:37) And it was just so depressing. (12:38) So many gut issues that I also had, which seemed to be related to the autoimmune (12:43) issue that I had on top of it all.

(12:45) And my liver, my kidneys were not, you know, at their best (12:48) and like my meals were all week. (12:50) And I just had so many medical problems. (12:52) My body was really an absolute mess.

(12:54) And then I’ve taken it all the way to the other drastic measures where I get (12:58) blood work regularly and I get checked out regularly and I need to make sure (13:01) that what I’ve been doing is working. (13:03) And not only is it working, I mean, I literally had the last local I got was (13:06) from a doctor who did the blood work and they saw the results. (13:09) And when they saw it, they actually called me because they’re like, I would (13:12) like to know how you’re achieving this.

(13:14) Uh, the doctor, she said, I’ve been doing this for decades. (13:16) I’ve never seen blood work like yours ever in my entire life. (13:18) And I was like, Whoa, that’s a pretty big statement there.

(13:22) And she said, I want to know what you’re doing because I want to not only do for (13:24) my patients, but I want to do it also for my own daughter, her daughter’s apparently (13:28) sick and she said, even for myself. (13:30) So it’s kind of funny. (13:31) Most of the doctors who contact me are dealing with their own (13:34) medical issues on top of it.

(13:35) Also, even they are suffering. (13:37) So people are just suffering. (13:38) And I think it’s really important to, for people to have really good (13:42) information and knowledge so that they can improve their lives.

(13:44) I just think it makes it a little better place. (13:46) Did you guys know that 97% of Americans are deficient in at least one mineral? (13:52) It’s true. (13:54) You need more than a dozen minerals for your body to function in its best, but (13:59) with the standard American diet, it’s almost impossible.

(14:03) So here’s where Bean Minerals comes in. (14:06) Guess what? (14:07) All you have to do, take one little shot of this one, one little shot of this one. (14:12) And guess what? (14:14) It looks like this, but it tastes like water.

(14:19) Take one shot and boom, in 30 seconds a day, you’re getting an entire thing of (14:26) minerals instead of an entire cabinet of supplement bottles. (14:30) So with Bean Minerals, we make mineral balance simple. (14:37) So I want to talk about the alkaline water for just a second, because I am (14:42) actually, I think alkaline water is terrible for you because I think that alkaline (14:49) water can neutralize stomach acid and that can increase harmful bacteria.

(14:54) And if you have like acid reflux, drinking the alkaline water is going to reduce (15:00) your stomach acid, like you just mentioned. (15:03) So now if you’re reducing your, your stomach acid, now you’re going to have (15:07) more acid reflux if you have it. (15:09) And if you have high pH alkaline water and now you’re getting your stomach acid (15:17) worse and worse and worse, now you’ve got damage to your mucosal lining.

(15:22) Um, you can affect your potassium levels. (15:26) There’s just all kinds of things. (15:28) So I am, I remember taking, you know, when, when the whole craze of like the (15:34) Kangen and the alkaline water came in, I would drink that and I already (15:39) have low stomach acid, so you’d like, he said, as you get older, your (15:44) stomach acid gets worse and worse.

(15:46) And, um, when I was young, when I was pregnant with my son, I threw up about (15:53) six to 10 times a day, every day from the time that I gave, um, that I got (15:58) pregnant till the day I gave birth. (16:00) While I was pushing him out, I threw up probably 25 times at the minimum. (16:04) So major stomach acid issues.

(16:07) Um, and then a couple of years while I was in college, I was bulimic. (16:11) So the combination of those two items, my stomach acid, when I started to having (16:18) personally doing the alkaline water, and then I started doing research and I (16:22) realized that is absolutely the worst thing for you to do. (16:27) Um, and as far as what you were saying, as far as the making sure that you, (16:34) you know, do the distilled water.

(16:37) Um, I do agree. (16:40) I think, you know, getting a really great distiller. (16:42) I bought a, I bought a, I think it was either three or $500.

(16:46) I can’t remember. (16:46) I know it was really expensive distiller that I have, but I always think about (16:51) that of, okay, what about like drinking mountain Valley water or like a really (16:56) clean spring water that does have minerals to it? (17:01) I don’t want to kill all the minerals. (17:03) And I heard what you said about getting your minerals from your food, but wouldn’t (17:09) it be good if you got minerals from your water and your food? (17:11) So what would you say to that? (17:14) So again, I’m data driven.

(17:15) So going off the actual data, what happens is there is actually such a (17:20) as organic and inorganic minerals and minerals are truly transformed through food. (17:25) So if I were to give you an example, let’s say you’re deficient in iron. (17:29) You don’t want to grab a piece of iron.

(17:31) It’s like a piece of metal and start sucking on it because that (17:33) would actually be toxic for you. (17:35) And if you get iron from your vegetables, for example, that’s (17:39) going to be a much better source. (17:40) Now, the reason now I was already doing this and then a scientific study came out.

(17:45) Proven that my method was working correctly, which is what I was doing is I (17:49) was actually putting minerals in a smoothie that I create and the smoothie that I (17:52) created has fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, even beans at times. (17:57) And so I make these smoothies and I did it because of the science again, following (18:01) the data, the Japanese had really, really interesting data about fiber. (18:06) So there’s a lot of interesting information coming out about fiber out of Japan.

(18:10) And we even have some old studies in America. (18:11) I don’t know why they tried to suppress them, but fiber is so (18:14) ridiculously important for our body. (18:16) It’s just, there’s so many things that it does.

(18:18) And a lot of people will try to disagree with this and that’s fine. (18:21) Look, I’m not, I’m not here trying to convince people. (18:23) These are the methods that I use.

(18:25) They clearly are working on me and they’re clearly working on other people. (18:28) And what happens with the fiber is in this particular study, they literally did a (18:32) study on smoothies, like the ones I’m making. (18:34) And when they add minerals to it, the body was literally rebuilding bone.

(18:39) And they were not even expecting that as a result. (18:41) And your bones were rebuilding. (18:42) And basically what appears to be the case is that the minerals work with the fiber.

(18:47) And it’s almost like a time release in the body of these minerals being able to (18:51) absorb really, really good at the body. (18:53) So it actually appears to help a lot with the mineral absorption, (18:56) which is really important. (18:57) The absorption is really crucial.

(18:59) So it really looks like you should be getting your minerals (19:01) from like 80% from your food. (19:03) As far as with water. (19:05) I mean, I, I add little minerals here and there.

(19:08) I don’t do it every single time. (19:09) Um, I could show you the minerals that I use. (19:11) I’m very picky about every product that I pick.

(19:13) I do a lot of research on all of them. (19:15) And I use these minerals where they eliminate actually almost all the salt. (19:18) I know a lot of people try to use like, Oh, I use Himalayan salt.

(19:21) So I’m getting my minerals from myself. (19:23) Uh, the problem with things like that is you have to look at the content of (19:26) minerals versus the content of salt and Himalayan salt, though I do use it. (19:30) I like it on my food.

(19:31) The problem is, is that it has a very low mineral content versus (19:35) a very high content of salt. (19:37) And salt is not very good for us either. (19:39) The research of the data on that is actually really quite clear.

(19:42) Not that we don’t need any salt, but we really shouldn’t have too much. (19:45) It’s not very good for us. (19:47) And so utilizing all this knowledge, all these methods to create protocols.

(19:51) Guys, I just want to interrupt for just a second. (19:53) And I want you to hear Paul Saladino talk about why liver is so important. (19:59) And if you don’t like liver, we have another option for you.

(20:04) Your ancestors were eating liver. (20:05) And the reason that this sort of wisdom has been passed down is (20:08) because liver is very nutritious. (20:09) It’s basically nature’s multivitamin.

(20:11) If you look at the nutrients in meat, they’re great. (20:13) You’ve got zinc, you got B6, you got B12, you got some K2. (20:16) But if you look at liver, it really complements what’s in muscle meat.

(20:19) And there are many unique nutrients found in organs, specifically (20:22) liver, as a powerhouse of these, that are difficult to obtain outside of liver. (20:26) Like meat and organs are like peanut butter and jelly. (20:28) They just go together.

(20:29) They’re supposed to be eaten together. (20:30) The easiest way to eat liver is just to do it raw. (20:32) If you don’t want to eat liver raw, you can cook it.

(20:34) But the reason that I like to do it raw is because there are unique (20:37) nutrients in liver that are probably somewhat degraded when you cook the liver. (20:40) This really is like the most nutrient rich supplements that you can find. (20:45) And they are amazing.

(20:47) I have tried them. (20:48) I absolutely love them. (20:49) So just go to heartandsoil.co use the coupon code Chantal Ray and save yourself some money.

(21:00) So tell us what a day in the life of hydrogen man looks like. (21:06) So, um, down to kind of what foods do you eat? (21:11) What foods do you not eat? (21:13) And kind of that make you feel absolutely optimal. (21:18) Well, so, okay.

(21:20) There’s a lot of reasons for the things that I do, but if I were to keep it pretty (21:23) simple, the first thing I do when I start my day, again, when I have knowledge, I (21:28) want to find ways to actually put them into practice, right? (21:31) Instead of when somebody gives you information that is really not that easier (21:34) to put into practice or maybe too ridiculously expensive. (21:37) So the very first thing I do in the morning is I always grab a toothbrush, no (21:41) toothpaste. (21:42) I just wet the toothbrush and I brush my teeth for 10, 20 seconds, really quick and (21:47) brush the inner surfaces of the mouth, meaning the roof, the inner lining of the (21:51) cheeks, your tongue.

(21:52) And somebody might be like, what does that have anything to do with it? (21:55) The reason is because again, the Japanese and they’re always, I don’t know why the (21:58) research, the best research seems to come out of Japan. (22:01) I find research everywhere, but best and latest data seems to be coming out of (22:04) Japan. (22:05) They’re really into the healthy and they discovered that we grow really bad bacteria (22:09) in our mouth while we’re sleeping.

(22:10) Some of it even appears to be cancer causing bacteria. (22:13) And so when you wake up in the morning, if you drink water or if you drink coffee or (22:18) you eat something, you’re inadvertently swallowing this bad bacteria into your (22:22) system. (22:23) And so the first thing I do is clean my mouth.

(22:25) It’s really easy. (22:26) You just brush 20 seconds. (22:28) You’re good.

(22:29) Then the very next thing I do very first thing in the morning is I drink hydrogen (22:32) water. (22:33) So it’s super clean water, meaning the cleanest there is. (22:36) And because it’s carbon distilled and then I dissolved hydrogen into it made properly (22:41) and safely, just so you know, I’m not a fan of hydrogen pills.

(22:44) I’m not a fan of any machine that uses chemicals to make their hydrogen. (22:47) Some believe they’re not used things like lye, sodium hydroxide, or even cheap (22:51) products like, like these or Tengen. (22:54) I don’t do any of that.

(22:55) So I use the Lourdes Hydrofix premium as I already mentioned to you guys, and it (23:00) fully saturates the water with hydrogen. (23:03) And I’m not sure if you’re aware that nature does this. (23:05) If you want to know more about that, I’ll mention in a second.

(23:07) So I drink that water. (23:09) I, and it really is going to depend on the level of health of your kidneys, maybe (23:14) even what medications or certain issues that you have. (23:16) So that’s why I’m not giving any medical advice.

(23:18) Everybody does it or should probably do it a little differently, but I (23:21) have my own protocol for myself. (23:23) So I’ll drink that hydrogen water. (23:25) And you know, it’s really important to get the body fully hydrated.

(23:27) First thing in the morning, we literally wake up dehydrated. (23:30) And so that’s the first thing. (23:31) And then after that, I do, I show this by the way, on my YouTube channel for free.

(23:36) So then I go and make a smoothie. (23:38) A lot of times I make what’s called a, I use a vacuum. (23:41) I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of a vacuum blender, but (23:43) you don’t have to use that.

(23:44) But I make a vacuum blended smoothie where it sucks the oxygen out of the, (23:49) out of the blender so that it literally doesn’t oxidize your (23:52) smooth when you’re blending it. (23:53) Cause there’s actual science again, data showing that the nutrients are much (23:56) higher when you don’t oxidize your food. (23:58) While you’re preparing it as far as like, for example, on a smoothie (24:02) and a smoothie gets everything in there.

(24:04) I put everything in there. (24:05) I’ve never seen anybody make a smoothie like the one I invented ever, (24:08) which is kind of wild to me. (24:09) But I mean, I put vegetables, I put some fruits, I put nuts in it.

(24:14) I put certain seeds in it. (24:15) And once in a while I put beans in it. (24:18) Now specific being called Mapple, N-A-T-T-O.

(24:22) It’s most likely that number one, super food, probably in the world, in all of Japan. (24:27) They’ve done so many research studies on it from being anti-cancerous to having (24:32) some certain properties as far as like thinning your blood out a little bit, (24:36) which is really great so that the blood can get into all the areas it needs to (24:39) get to and massive amounts of protein. (24:41) It’s almost the same amount of protein as beef.

(24:43) This stuff is like crazy good for you. (24:45) So I put that in there and I, and then I literally was just drinking it before (24:49) we started doing the podcast, having my breakfast. (24:51) So I have these smoothies that are just filled with minerals.

(24:55) They’re filled with fiber. (24:56) They’re filled with a lot of vitamins, filled with a lot of protein. (24:59) It’s just filled with enzymes, filled with phytonutrients.

(25:03) It’s filled with everything. (25:05) And that’s what I kind of live off. (25:06) I drink that smoothie for breakfast.

(25:08) I have some for lunch. (25:10) And then after that, then, you know, I do a healthy dinner. (25:12) And again, I post a lot of the different dinners that I do on my channel.

(25:16) And I also eat a lot of mushrooms, the science on mushrooms, which literally (25:21) there’s good data that just came out on mushrooms. (25:23) I’m glad that I’ve been a fan of them for so long. (25:26) Uh, but there’s a huge correlation now, uh, between basically overcoming (25:31) or not getting dementia or Alzheimer’s.

(25:33) Uh, there’s some certain properties to the mushrooms that (25:35) are really, really valuable. (25:36) Um, you’re supposed to eat them at least two to three times a week. (25:39) And it’s significantly brings down the probability of something like (25:43) dementia, according to the data, preliminary data that’s coming now.

(25:47) And they did a research on a lot of people in Japan who are centennials, (25:51) people who are like a hundred years old, who just don’t have dementia. (25:53) And they found that pattern as far as people eating mushrooms. (25:57) And then they did research on it.

(25:58) So that’s kind of a little bit of what I do though. (26:01) I drink my hydrogen water, not only in the morning. (26:03) I also have some for lunch time, and then I have it a little towards the (26:07) evening time around right before dinner.

(26:09) I always load up on the hydrogen water before 20 to 30 minutes before (26:13) meals, because it’s very helpful. (26:15) That’s part of the technique. (26:16) And then a lot of times I’ll even inhale the hydrogen gas while I’m (26:19) literally, you know, eating my dinner or having my smoothie also due to the (26:25) ability for it, that it appears to help you absorb nutrients.

(26:28) So that’s another one. (26:30) That’s one of the things that my, like I said, the doctors that I’ve done (26:32) blood work with in the latest one, they just can’t believe it. (26:34) They’re like, I just can’t believe that you eat the way you do.

(26:38) And that you don’t have any nutritional deficiency. (26:40) So almost everybody has nutritional deficiencies. (26:42) How are you accomplishing that? (26:44) And, you know, it’s not like, you know, people want to eat meat.

(26:47) That’s fine. (26:47) But there’s many reasons that I don’t eat meat. (26:50) And so that’s one of the ones that just shocked my doctor.

(26:52) They just couldn’t believe that my nutrients in my blood were where they (26:55) were at, considering that I don’t actually eat meat. (26:59) Hmm. (27:00) So just explain kind of the difference between hydrogen gas and hydrogen water.

(27:08) Well, basically we are talking about a specific type of hydrogen and you have (27:12) to be careful because there are hydrogens out there that in my opinion are not good. (27:16) Um, you know, I’m not a fan of something called Brown’s gas. (27:19) I’m not a fan of deuterium hydrogen.

(27:21) We’re talking about something called molecular hydrogen and molecular (27:25) hydrogen is a gas, much like oxygen is a gas. (27:29) And what we’re doing is we’re saturating, dissolving it into the water. (27:33) So kind of think of like carbonated water has also a dissolved gas called CO2.

(27:38) Right. (27:39) And so all we’re doing is, is dissolving molecular hydrogen in this gas into the (27:44) water. (27:45) So you’re using water as a carrier.

(27:47) Um, the real main reason that it appears that people came up with this idea was (27:50) because have you ever heard of a place called Lord’s France? (27:53) You ever heard of a place? (27:54) Lord is really okay. (27:56) So this is supposed to be like a holy site, which is interesting because the (27:59) website is called holy hydrogen, right? (28:01) That’s kind of funny, but this holy site in Lord’s France, where people (28:05) literally drinking the water over there out of this spring, uh, the Lord’s spring. (28:10) And people were literally their medical conditions or their diseases were going (28:15) away.

(28:16) And a lot of people thought this was placebo and they did literally send (28:19) scientists to study the water because they started documenting the amount of (28:22) cases of people’s medical conditions going away. (28:25) And it was vast. (28:26) There were so many people and well-documented.

(28:28) So they thought there’s gotta be something about this water. (28:31) So they researched the water and everybody came back and said, there’s (28:34) nothing special about it. (28:35) It’s just H2O.

(28:36) Nobody noticed anything. (28:37) And probably because when you take a sample and you send it to a lab, the (28:41) hydrogen gas escapes, it doesn’t stay in the water very long. (28:43) So nobody could figure it out.

(28:45) It was actually the Japanese figured it out. (28:47) Uh, brilliant. (28:48) They discovered that that water is actually as high levels of molecular (28:51) hydrogen gaps.

(28:52) They tested it on site and then they discovered that. (28:55) That’s when they went to the lab and they started doing laboratory studies on (28:58) molecular hydrogen gas on animals. (29:00) And they saw amazing results.

(29:02) I’ve actually seen a lot of the footage. (29:03) I kind of wish I had some for you because it’s mind boggling what it’s doing to the (29:06) body. (29:07) One of my videos, video number 68, I number a lot of my videos.

(29:11) Number 68 to make it easy for people to find. (29:13) I have a live blood analysis of what blood looks like. (29:17) And then they had the patient drink really clean, healthy spring water.

(29:20) And then they had that same water and they put it into that literally the same (29:24) type of machine I use actually for this particular lab test. (29:27) Then they had the person drink that one and all the lab tests. (29:30) You should have seen the one when they drink the hydrogen water, it was so (29:33) unreal that when I posted it, not only that we were as doctors contacting you, (29:37) there was this one doctor.

(29:39) She was really stubborn. (29:40) She was like, she said, look, what you’re showing there is impossible. (29:43) She said, it’s just impossible.

(29:44) This has got to be a scam. (29:46) And I understand when I first read the medical data on hydrogen, I thought it (29:49) wouldn’t scam when the first studies came out in like 07. (29:52) And so I was very skeptical myself as I am.

(29:54) That’s why I’m data driven. (29:55) I need to see data. (29:57) And so what she wanted to do is she literally bought the exact same machine.

(30:01) We found out all the parameters out of the test that they did. (30:03) And she went to her own lab, did the own test on her own. (30:07) And she wanted me to show the results.

(30:09) She, she wanted me to show them on my channel. (30:10) And she kind of made me promise to her, Hey, no matter what the results are, you (30:13) want to show people that if this information is not right, you’re going to show that to (30:17) them. (30:17) And I said, absolutely.

(30:18) I’m looking for the truth. (30:19) I only want to share the truth on my channel. (30:21) And so anyway, after she got those back, the results came back exactly the same.

(30:26) She’s like, I can’t believe it. (30:27) This stuff is unreal. (30:28) It really is the real deal.

(30:29) And I’m like, I know it really is truly in my opinion, a miracle. (30:33) And so it’s amazing how it affects the blood, but it does so much more than that. (30:37) Um, it even opens up ghost vessels.

(30:40) I don’t know if you know what those are, but, uh, the number one university in the (30:44) world that researches hydrogen called Keio university in Japan, they discovered that (30:48) hydrogen opens up these ghost vessels in the body, which are places where blood used (30:52) to get into and no longer gets into, which is extremely important. (30:55) People don’t understand. (30:56) Actually an ancient scriptural verse that says life is in the blood.

(31:00) If I were to cut off the blood supply to my arm, my arm would die. (31:04) The blood is bringing life to my body and there’s a lot of nutrients in the (31:08) blood and the blood carries gases too. (31:10) That’s why we test for oxygen saturation levels in the blood.

(31:14) You can do that with hydrogen too, by the way. (31:16) And so this is really important. (31:18) And so obviously getting proper blood supply, the proper areas as we age, just (31:24) like the stomach acid thing, we have these places where we used to get blood (31:28) that we don’t get blood there.

(31:29) And they’re kind of like a ghost town and they call them ghost vessels. (31:32) It’s a medical term. (31:33) You can actually look it up.

(31:34) And so hydrogen appears to open up these ghost vessels again and start bringing in (31:39) blood again, back to these areas, which brings all those nutrients to these tissues. (31:43) And the effects that it’s had on, I mean, like I said, uh, from cancer to diabetes, (31:49) to dementia and Alzheimer’s to heart conditions, my heart condition, I was told (31:53) that I needed open heart surgery. (31:55) And when I started trying to figure out, I tried all these different ways of using (31:58) hydrogen first, because I didn’t understand how you make it matters.

(32:01) That’s how dumb I was. (32:03) And then in time, I realized that it really does matter how you make it. (32:07) And so when I got the best machine in the world, which was the best one in all of (32:10) Japan, and I noticed all the scientific data lined up perfectly with the (32:13) scientific literature.

(32:15) So I went for it and I got one of these machines and created my protocols and my (32:19) heart condition literally went away. (32:21) I was already scheduled with a cardiologist. (32:23) I had been thoroughly tested.

(32:24) They saw the issue that I had. (32:26) The doctor literally told me, he goes, you’d be lucky to have 10 years. (32:29) He goes, your, your heart is really bad.

(32:31) And I was using the hydrogen and messing around with different protocols. (32:35) My condition literally went away. (32:36) I went there for the very last day where I was going to start scheduling some stuff (32:41) for the surgery and it just disappeared.

(32:43) And I’d had this condition for decades. (32:45) And so the doctor was like, what in the world just happened? (32:48) This, these things don’t happen. (32:49) They don’t just disappear.

(32:51) And hydrogen is medically approved for artifacts. (32:54) For example, it appears, appears to be really good for the heart. (32:57) And, and obviously, you know, that, you know, heart disease is one of the (33:00) number one killers in the world, either number one or number two, at least in (33:03) America, kind of flip flops with cancer.

(33:06) And so it’s just been such a lifesaver and the things that it’s done for, you (33:10) know, friends and family and now numerous people. (33:12) I mean, I worked with a lady, this was interesting. (33:14) A woman with TBI, you know, traumatic brain injury.

(33:17) And so it appears to be so amazing for the brain on top of it all. (33:21) And this poor woman was actually going to take her own life. (33:24) I didn’t know that, but she had contacted me and I didn’t (33:26) know that she was on that verge.

(33:28) She could barely talk. (33:29) Her speech was really bad. (33:32) Her memory was horrible.

(33:33) She would, she would forget what she was saying every 10 to 20 seconds. (33:36) And I just felt really bad for her. (33:38) And I helped her and she got on a good hydrogen protocol.

(33:41) And I remember what she called me. (33:42) She called me six months later and I didn’t even recognize her. (33:45) She was like, Hey, I just wanted to call you and I wanted to thank you.

(33:48) And I’m thinking, who is this? (33:49) And she said, I just wanted to thank you for saving my life. (33:51) And I was thinking I didn’t save anybody’s life. (33:54) I didn’t jump into a river and save a drowning woman.

(33:56) And it turned out it was this woman. (33:58) The reason I didn’t recognize her is because she was talking normal (34:00) and she could remember things. (34:01) And I was so blown away because she explained to me who she was.

(34:04) And I was like, oh my gosh, wait a second. (34:05) Yeah, I remember you. (34:07) And she said, I just wanted to let you know that the reason you saved my (34:09) life is because I was actually planning on taking my life.

(34:12) And I was like, whoa, I didn’t know that. (34:14) And she said, I made a prayer and literally within 24 hours, (34:17) she popped up on some video. (34:18) And she said, I just knew it.

(34:19) I could just feel it. (34:20) And I felt like it was worth trying. (34:22) And she did try it and it changed her life.

(34:24) In fact, if you want to see her testimonial, it’s amazing. (34:27) The company has their own YouTube channel. (34:29) I think it’s called cold dehydration.

(34:30) I don’t know the name of their channel, but they literally filmed her and they (34:33) did a whole interview with her and she gave her whole testimonial and (34:36) it was absolutely life-changing. (34:37) She had been to numerous doctors. (34:39) Nobody ever helped her with her medical condition because nobody could (34:41) picture CBI from a, I think it was a car accident.

(34:45) And so anyway, just, there’s been so much amazing scientific (34:48) literature and testimonials and I’m a testimonial too. (34:52) So it’s been absolutely life-changing. (34:53) I love that stuff.

(34:54) So I want you to just, because for someone who’s listening, I want you to (35:01) break it down a little bit as simple as possible to explain what is hydrogen (35:08) water. (35:08) So like basically when you’re at home, you basically have a machine, right? (35:15) And you are linking up this machine. (35:18) Like, do you have a machine there that you can kind of show us and show (35:22) us how it works or no? (35:26) Yeah, I can show you.

(35:26) It’s pretty easy. (35:27) I mean, the first thing I, there’s my carbon distiller right there, right? (35:31) So that, that’s actually cleaning water right now. (35:33) And I’ll probably, you know what I should do is probably shut it off.

(35:36) And I want to say this, I don’t know about your distiller, but in my distiller (35:41) that I have, that was, I can’t remember. (35:43) I know it was at least 300. (35:45) It might’ve been 500.

(35:46) It is slow as nails. (35:49) Like it takes the water. (35:52) I mean, it takes like five hours to get at least like a small pitcher of water.

(35:59) You know what, and that’s a good point, but let me explain something (36:01) to you that’s really important. (36:04) Anything that filters water immediately is not actually fully purifying your water. (36:10) It literally takes three to six hours to fully purify one gallon.

(36:14) That’s why your distiller takes mine does the same thing. (36:16) Now they have really big systems. (36:18) The website, the reason that I share the website that I use is because (36:21) people always want to know what I use.

(36:22) I do a lot of research. (36:23) Mine is an American made distiller. (36:25) I don’t have one of the ones made in China or whatever.

(36:28) And there’s a lot of things that they do to it. (36:29) That’s a little different and they lab test their stuff. (36:32) But the point is they have these really big systems and being these really big (36:36) systems, you can hook them up directly to your water line and they’ll distill the (36:39) water and it has a siege folding tank and you can just grab water.

(36:42) You know what I mean? (36:44) So anyway, I’ll show you the hydrogen machine cause you were wanting to see it. (36:48) But this is basically right here. (36:49) This is the newest model.

(36:50) I’m using one for inhalation here. (36:52) This was my old model. (36:53) And then I got the newest one here and I mean, it’s full of water.

(36:56) I just filled it. (36:57) And if I wanted to turn it on, I just hit the button once. (36:59) There you go.

(36:59) And it’s going to take half an hour to fully saturate 1.5 liters. (37:04) So again, in order to make hydrogen properly, anything like the canning (37:08) machine that just spits out the water immediately is not, in my opinion, (37:12) being done right because it takes time. (37:13) Just like the distillation takes time, uh, fully saturating hydrogen properly (37:19) and a stable and quote unquote, safe manner, in my opinion, takes time.

(37:24) So let me, let me just explain it to people. (37:27) So the way I understand it is that hydro water, hydrogen water is regular (37:32) water, which you could first, I guess, take the water, distill it in a (37:37) distilling machine, and then you can put it into a, another machine where (37:42) the hydrogen water is basically mixed with hydrogen gas that’s added to it. (37:50) And I, when I say that, cause you’re basically doing a two part process.

(37:54) You’re first taking the water, you’re distilling it, getting rid of all of (37:59) the, you know, toxins and all the chemicals and everything that’s in it. (38:04) Then you’re putting it into another machine. (38:06) And that machine is where you’re taking that distilled water, mixing (38:11) it with hydrogen gas, correct? (38:14) Yeah, that’s basically what you’re doing.

(38:16) Because the first thing is, if you notice on the machine, the hydrogen (38:19) machine, you can put any kind of water you want. (38:21) I mean, you could put spring water. (38:22) You could put, you know, reverse osmosis water, carbon filtered water.

(38:26) I just like to use the cleanest water there is. (38:29) That’s just my opinion on that. (38:31) And what you’re doing is you’re using the water as a carrier or the gas, (38:36) but you’re ultimately correct.

(38:38) That’s all you’re doing is you’re putting whatever kind of water and (38:40) you’re dissolving the hydrogen gas into, and you drink that water. (38:43) And that’s, I guess, the simplest way to put it. (38:45) So yes, you’re, you’re correct.

(38:47) Did you guys know that your thyroid’s main food is iodine and guess what? (38:52) Mercury and other toxins gobble up your selenium and your thyroid glands need (38:59) selenium to convert iodine to thyroxine. (39:02) So if you have mercury fillings and with all the toxins and mold, your (39:07) selenium gets, just gets gobbled up. (39:09) So here’s the bottom line.

(39:11) I take something called heat thyroid. (39:14) It’s got iodine, it’s got copper, and it’s got selenium. (39:17) Everything you need to get your thyroid back to functioning without medicine.

(39:23) So go to chantalrayway.com slash upgraded formulas, use the coupon (39:28) code Chantal Ray to get a huge discount. (39:31) And so basically that hydrogen water, what you’re saying is (39:36) that it can increase energy. (39:38) It’s going to reduce inflammation.

(39:40) Um, and what is the science behind it? (39:44) When you’re adding hydrogen to the water, what is it doing to help with your health? (39:52) Well, the first thing I’ll say is they don’t really know the full (39:55) mechanism of exactly how it works. (39:57) They, they’ve observed some things. (39:58) They they’ve seen that hydrogen appears to function as an anti-inflammatory.

(40:02) They saw that hydrogen really has a real positive effect on the mitochondria. (40:07) So like you were saying for energy and mitochondrial function, which is like (40:10) extremely important for the body to work right and run right is for (40:14) your mitochondria to work properly. (40:16) Um, I’ve seen some things where it actually helps with the pH of your (40:19) blood so that your blood can actually get even more oxygenated (40:24) because we already breathe oxygen.

(40:25) I know a lot of people like oxygen supplements. (40:27) I’m not even that big of a fan of, uh, oxygen supplements, because if your (40:30) body’s running right and super efficiently, then we’re already breathing (40:34) in 20% or more, depending on your atmospheric pressure, you know, (40:37) where you’re at on the world. (40:39) But you’re already getting plenty of oxygen.

(40:41) What you want to do is make your body efficient enough to be (40:44) able to utilize that oxygen. (40:45) And hydrogen appears to actually do that. (40:47) I’ve seen it do that in regards to how to, because of the way that it (40:50) affects the pH of the blood, which by the way, P stands for potential hydrogen.

(40:54) A lot of people are unaware of that also. (40:57) Um, the hydrogen also has been shown to be effective in certain like cell (41:01) signaling, uh, the hydrogen water, for example, and the hydrogen gas also (41:06) appears to work as what they all, they kind of invented a term for it, (41:09) which is a selective antioxidant. (41:12) So a lot of people don’t know, I could pull up a chart for you.

(41:14) I probably should have one, um, that antioxidants actually (41:17) come in different sizes. (41:18) Were you, were you aware of that? (41:20) Yeah. (41:21) So like, if you were to look at like vitamin E being, let’s say this size (41:25) and glutathione would be like, you know, this size and vitamin C and all these (41:30) different antioxidants are different sizes, but what people don’t understand (41:34) is that they can’t penetrate every part of the body.

(41:37) If you were to compare it, even like glutathione, which again is a really (41:40) big one, um, or CoQ10 is actually a really big one. (41:43) The glutathione is a little smaller. (41:45) If you were to compare them to hydrogen, hydrogen would be like just a speck.

(41:49) It’s so tiny and that’s exactly what makes it so special because it (41:53) can enter anything and everything. (41:55) In fact, hydrogen will literally go right through glass. (41:57) It’ll go right through all your tissues.

(41:59) It’ll go right through walls. (42:00) It’s literally like, uh, personally, I think it’s an interdimensional (42:04) molecule, that’s just my opinion. (42:06) Uh, but it can literally go through anything.

(42:07) There’s nothing that it cannot go through. (42:09) And so when you get it in your body, there is no place that it cannot get to. (42:14) It goes right past the blood brain barrier.

(42:16) Um, actually even going to the pineal gland, which I think is really important (42:20) personally, but it can go through any tissue in your body, even down to (42:23) literally the core of your mitochondria. (42:25) And one of the things that it really appears to do is neutralize free radicals. (42:29) So the Japanese, this was, this was a really great study.

(42:32) They had a list. (42:33) I wish I had it for you. (42:34) It was a really, really big list of all these medical conditions, (42:37) like just a ton of them.

(42:38) I think it was almost 200 different medical conditions. (42:40) I think the actual number was like 180. (42:42) All these medical conditions.

(42:44) And next to every condition, they had the pharmaceutical medicine that you would (42:48) be taking for each one of those conditions. (42:51) And the list of medicines was huge. (42:53) It was literally, literally off the page compared to all these medical issues.

(42:57) And then they had even more pills for a lot of the side (43:00) effects from the initial medicine. (43:02) And then they showed hydrogen. (43:04) And the reason they did this is because they had showed that hydrogen (43:06) appeared to be effective for all these medical conditions and what the (43:10) scientists in Japan literally just couldn’t figure out or understand is (43:14) how can this one thing, this hydrogen literally appeared to have such a (43:18) positive effect on these medical conditions, even oftentimes working (43:21) better than the pharmaceutical itself.

(43:23) So these scientists really want to understand why, but it’s really (43:26) interesting story because even the government of Japan actually was against (43:29) hydrogen, they didn’t want it to be medically approved, but there was too (43:32) much medical evidence. (43:33) They eventually didn’t approve it, but they want to understand (43:35) how one thing could do all this. (43:37) And what they realized millions of dollars and lots of research later is (43:41) that 98% roughly of all disease comes out to one thing.

(43:46) That’s how crazy it is. (43:47) And that’s free radical damage. (43:48) So like oxidative stress, or sometimes even called like (43:52) ROS reactive oxygen species.

(43:55) And what you’re going to realize is that they’re all forms of oxygen, oxidative (43:59) stress, oxygen is technically there. (44:01) I say death because oxygen oxidize, it kills things, which can, there can (44:06) be certain benefits from that. (44:07) Life is all about balance of life and death and things to move properly.

(44:10) But this oxidative stress, if you have too much of it in your liver, it’s (44:13) going to cause liver issues, too much of your brain, certain brain issues. (44:17) So hydrogen goes into the body and it has an affinity for oxygen or for (44:22) these, you know, oxidative free radicals basically in the body and it goes to (44:27) them and like neutralize them. (44:29) So it goes to this form of oxygen.

(44:30) You got hydrogen. (44:32) H2O is what water is. (44:33) So it turns into water, neutralizes this, brings down the inflammation, which is (44:38) one of the things that they’ve seen neutralizing these free radicals and the (44:41) body can begin to function the way that it should again, which is one of the (44:43) reasons that I’m really big on overcoming nutritional deficiencies too, because (44:48) what I’m trying to do is I neutralize all these free radicals in my body with (44:51) the hydrogen, plus it does a lot more than that, you know, all the positive (44:54) effects that come from that.

(44:56) And then I want to give my body all the nutrients it needs. (44:59) And I have certain methods. (45:00) I mean, if you want to know how I do it, I can tell you, but overcome any (45:03) nutritional deficiency because the data clearly shows the nutritional (45:07) deficiencies lead to disease.

(45:09) So if I gave you one example, again, it would be like a scurvy. (45:12) If somebody gets scurvy, they figured out that it’s literally (45:15) just a vitamin C deficiency. (45:17) Uh, the six scurvy, you bring up the person’s vitamin C levels to the (45:20) proper levels and scurvy goes away.

(45:22) And so there’s a lot of data in regards to this, in regards to medical issues. (45:26) And when I was trying to overcome my medical problems, I wanted to overcome (45:29) every nutritional deficiency and almost everybody’s deficient in something. (45:33) So I’ve developed techniques on how to do that too.

(45:36) And so I don’t know if that answers your question, but yeah, I do (45:40) want to hear more about that. (45:41) So like, what are some of the minerals that you think that most people are (45:47) deficient in and that you’re seeing? (45:50) Because we’re having more and more people, um, with autoimmune issues (45:56) more than I’ve ever seen. (45:58) Um, when I get questions in, um, on our podcast, almost every one of (46:05) them are complaining about some sort.

(46:08) And I have an autoimmune condition as well. (46:10) So, um, what would you say? (46:13) Yeah. (46:14) So it’s almost like, it’s almost like everyone’s got some (46:18) form of an autoimmune condition.

(46:20) So what would you say are, if someone has, um, you know, rheumatoid (46:25) arthritis or they have psoriasis or they have any host of the most (46:31) popular autoimmune conditions, what would be the minerals that you would (46:36) say that the person is and thyroid issues? (46:39) I would say I’ve never seen more people with thyroid issues than (46:44) we’ve ever had in our life as well. (46:46) So what are some of the mineral deficiencies that you’re (46:50) seeing with those conditions? (46:53) So I hate to tell you that I wouldn’t focus just on mineral deficiencies. (46:57) You want, you want to overcome nutritional deficiencies and minerals on top of it.

(47:04) So that’s the first thing. (47:06) And then of course, really clean water, because the things in the water, in my (47:09) opinion, are one of the number one sources of causing the disruption that (47:13) causes the autoimmune issue. (47:15) Again, I had an autoimmune issue.

(47:17) I don’t have it anymore. (47:18) I was able to overcome it. (47:20) And it wasn’t the most complicated thing in the world.

(47:23) First, clean water. (47:24) I cannot emphasize this enough because if I were to start going through the (47:27) different things that are in the lab report here, you’d be shocked at what’s (47:30) in the water that is going to disrupt your GI system. (47:34) Um, we know that it’s one of the number one sources of microplastics.

(47:37) We know that there’s pharmaceuticals in the water. (47:39) You know what the big, the biggest three pharmaceuticals found in water are? (47:42) One, women’s contraception. (47:44) So think about how that’s going to affect anybody hormonally, man or woman.

(47:48) Uh, the second one is antidepressants. (47:50) I don’t know if you know, the long-term data on that in regards to how it (47:52) affects the brain and the GI system. (47:55) Then the third pharmaceutical is antibiotics, which also disrupts the gut.

(48:00) And by the way, in my opinion, and there’s good data to support this autoimmune (48:04) issues, most likely are coming from your gut. (48:06) Okay. (48:07) And so you have to get your gut, right? (48:09) And so hydrogen actually has been shown to be amazing for gut health.

(48:13) I mean, it absolutely transformed my gut, you know, the inflammation (48:16) feeding, the good gut bacteria, the gut starting to work properly. (48:20) Again, overcoming constipation is another big one on and on it goes. (48:24) So to overcome nutritional deficiencies, here’s a product that I use.

(48:27) It’s actually really great because in the research I found is that food (48:33) is what the body responds to best. (48:35) So I’m not really a big pill person. (48:37) Like, Oh, take this pill and that pill.

(48:38) I’m not really big on pills. (48:40) Every ingredient in this stuff right here is just food. (48:42) That’s all it is.

(48:43) It’s literally just food, but it’s really high quality, clean food there. (48:47) I used to use a different product. (48:49) And when I always look at lab tests, they would have little (48:52) residue of pesticides, almost everything does, even though it’s organic.

(48:55) This was the first product I’d ever seen that did not come (48:58) up positive for pesticides. (48:59) And so I was really kind of blown away by it. (49:02) And I, and I put this in my smoothie.

(49:03) It’s called Power Shave for anybody who wants to see it. (49:06) It’s you want to, it’s the website’s called ishopperium.com. (49:10) If you want to check this out. (49:11) This is what I personally use.

(49:13) And if you want a discount code again, it’s always the same (49:15) discount code uprising, one, four, four K, but this is what I use. (49:19) And so I put that in my smoothie with all these fruits and vegetables, nuts (49:23) and seeds, and periodically beans, because my smoothie is my multivitamin. (49:29) The body responds best to food.

(49:31) So everything in that smoothie is food. (49:34) So what are you putting in your smoothie? (49:37) Oh, I put like a rich leafy greens, you know, kales. (49:40) I put spinach.

(49:41) I have videos on there, by the way, I put cheetah seeds. (49:44) I put blueberries. (49:44) I put carrots.

(49:45) I put beets. (49:47) Sometimes I’ll put an apple. (49:48) I’ll put a banana.

(49:50) I put walnuts. (49:51) Um, sometimes there’ll be cashews. (49:53) Sometimes all ends.

(49:55) I put flax seeds. (49:57) Uh, today I put raw cacao in my smoothie on top of it with a little (50:00) bit of matcha green tea from Japan. (50:02) I put natto beans.

(50:03) I mean, I made different ones. (50:05) So I make a different smoothie every single day. (50:07) Excuse me.

(50:08) And sure. (50:08) Let me grab some. (50:09) Since you’re asking about the minerals too.

(50:10) Let me show you what I got. (50:11) Sorry. (50:14) Then I’ll step away here for a second to grab it for you and show you what else I use.

(50:18) Um, one of the other nutrients that’s extremely important for health. (50:21) I mean, I cannot emphasize it enough. (50:23) The number one expert in the world I got to learn everything from in (50:26) regards to vitamin D3 with K2.

(50:29) I use it in its ionic form, but vitamin D is so important for the body to function. (50:34) Right. (50:35) And obviously a lot of people are highly deficient in vitamin D and some people (50:38) will even tell me things like, Hey, um, I get enough sunshine, so I don’t need (50:42) vitamin D the latest data again, be data driven.

(50:46) I’m not, I’m not trying to beat a dead horse here, but as you age, when sun hits (50:51) the body and your skin, the latest data is showing that when you’re getting older (50:55) and older, your body’s not even producing the proper levels of vitamin D. (50:58) Okay. (50:58) So I want to, I want to address that with you because we just had a guest on. (51:04) And he, so about, about, I don’t know, two weeks ago I had gone to this place (51:12) called restore cryotherapy, you know, and it’s one of those places that they do (51:16) the IV drip, they do cryotherapy, they do red light, you know, all the things.

(51:23) Yeah. (51:23) He ended up getting a D a vitamin D shot. (51:27) Cause I was like, you know, I feel like I’m probably vitamin D deficient.

(51:31) I’m going to get one. (51:33) And I’ve done, I’ve done it about four times. (51:36) And every time I got a vitamin D shot, I felt horrible.

(51:41) And I was like, what is going on? (51:44) Like every time I take this vitamin D shot, I felt terrible. (51:47) And we have this, this guy who’s like a scientist who’s on our last episode. (51:52) And he talked about vitamin D and he talked about the fact that your vitamin (51:58) A levels have to be three times what your vitamin D levels are.

(52:06) And so if you take too much vitamin D, what happens is, and, and I truly believe (52:14) this with all my heart is that, that this is one of the biggest problems as people (52:19) overdo it with one vitamin and then your body has to compensate and (52:24) then you’re just a total mess. (52:26) But I’m telling you as living proof, every time I took one of these vitamin (52:31) D shots, I never felt worse. (52:34) I mean, I was like, was like, literally, I feel like death warmed (52:38) over taking this vitamin D shot.

(52:40) So now I’ve started doing research and I’m really like, okay, what now I’m (52:46) really believing what he’s saying. (52:48) And he’s like, no, every you, you should get vitamin D from the sun and you (52:53) shouldn’t be supplementing with all of this vitamin D because it then messes up (52:59) your vitamin A levels and that your vitamin A levels have to be in order for (53:04) you to be optimum three times what your vitamin D levels are. (53:08) So I don’t know, I’m just telling you what he said, but I’m living proof that (53:14) taking these shots of vitamin D, I’ve never felt worse.

(53:18) So now I’m doing research about what this is because you’re not convincing me that (53:24) me taking that vitamin D three and K two is going to make me feel better. (53:30) Okay. (53:30) So you are, you are literally actually just made my point for me.

(53:34) Um, you have to understand that you don’t want to think too much of anything. (53:38) Too much of anything is not good. (53:40) I’m not telling yourself.

(53:41) I’m not telling you or anybody to pump themselves a vitamin D. (53:44) I think stupid. (53:46) And to be honest, vitamin D shots, because I do think it’s foolish. (53:50) I think it’s way too much for the body.

(53:52) Life is all about balance. (53:53) Too much vitamin D is actually bad for you. (53:55) Okay.

(53:56) Much of anything is bad for you. (53:58) You need to have proper levels. (53:59) This is exactly why I went through a lot of blood work to find out exactly where my (54:03) labels are at and following literally the data from the number one expert in the (54:09) world, this is a doctor who runs a hospital and he has done amazing, like literally (54:13) like miracles with vitamin D, but because you have to understand at what level and (54:18) at what point it’s going to be a benefit.

(54:20) And when I’m saying overcome every nutritional deficiency, and that includes (54:23) vitamin a, all the nutrients work synergistically together. (54:28) This is why you want everything working together. (54:30) This is the reason that I don’t have a million bottles of pills.

(54:33) Like, well, I got my vitamin A and my vitamin B 12 and my vitamin D and my (54:36) vitamin C and vitamin E and blah, blah, blah. (54:39) I get it all from food because the body responds best to food. (54:45) A lot of these supplements in built forms.

(54:47) I’ve seen the lab tests. (54:48) I am not a fan of what I’m seeing inside these pills. (54:51) There’s a lot of stuff in there that I’m not really fan up.

(54:53) That’s why I’m so picky about the products that I use. (54:56) And I don’t even, I don’t promote or use that many. (54:58) I only use like maybe four or five products.

(55:00) And the main ones are the carbon distiller and the hydrogen machine. (55:03) Those are foundational to good health. (55:06) Vitamin D you just need a little, and when you read and the level, this (55:11) is what the data actually shows.

(55:12) A doctor will tell you that anything below a 50, you are deficient in vitamin D. (55:17) Most people are below 50. (55:19) Actually, it’s really bad, but the real latest data shows that you (55:23) really want to be between like 80 to 90, maybe even a hundred, (55:26) but never go past a hundred. (55:28) It begins to cause other problems.

(55:30) And so I’m like in my nineties and it’s made such a dramatic difference (55:33) also in regards to my immune system. (55:35) I used to get sick at the drop of a hat because remember, I mean, I was really (55:39) sick, my, my immune system absolutely sucked. (55:42) I would get sick so easily and it would take me forever to overcome just (55:46) like the common cold or something.

(55:48) And the last four years have been like for me, some of the best years ever (55:53) because knock on wood, but I haven’t got sick at all. (55:56) And I know that I’ve come in contact with a lot of stuff out there and the (55:59) way that my body is now responding. (56:00) I am so happy because I mean, I really suffered for a very long time and it (56:05) was absolute hell when your body is not cooperating, so no, I would not do (56:09) some super strong injection on vitamin D at all.

(56:12) In fact, this is in a liquid form. (56:14) I like liquid more than a, more than pills. (56:17) And I just put literally a few drops.

(56:19) So not that much. (56:20) It’s a very small amount into the actual smoothie that I’m consuming. (56:25) So yeah, the way that you’re, that you did it is not the way that (56:28) I personally go about doing it.

(56:29) And so, and I think again, clearly the guy you talked to doesn’t know the (56:33) latest data about being exposed to the sun. (56:35) It clearly shows that our body now, this is when you’re older and it even, it (56:39) also depends on the melanin, meaning like the pigment of your skin. (56:43) So the amount of time that you would have to be out in the sun.

(56:46) And so the body not even really making proper levels of vitamin D once (56:49) you start getting older, and I’ve seen that a lot, actually with a lot of patients. (56:54) So that’s what I can tell you, but no vitamin D is so important. (56:57) All the nutrients are important, by the way.

(56:59) That’s why I said overcoming all nutritional deficiencies, all your (57:03) nutrients need to be where they’re at, because this body is, I mean, the (57:06) ancient scriptures call it a temple. (57:08) It really is like a structure. (57:10) It’s like a house or even a car.

(57:12) You don’t want to be missing a support beam. (57:14) You don’t want to be missing a part of the foundation. (57:16) You need all the pieces for the structure to be at its best.

(57:19) And the human body is no different. (57:21) You need all those different nutrients at proper levels so that the body can (57:25) literally work the way that it’s intended to work. (57:29) So as far as, so it’s, so right now, are you take, are you on a vegetarian (57:35) diet or are you on a vegan diet? (57:38) And how are you getting your B12 and your B vitamins? (57:43) So I don’t really have like quote unquote a specific diet because (57:47) I’m technically not vegan.

(57:49) I guess technically I wouldn’t say that I’m vegetarian either. (57:52) Um, but a lot of it has to do with the ratios of food that you eat. (57:55) So I eat a lot of vegetables.

(57:57) So vegetables is a big one. (57:59) I eat fruit. (58:00) I do eat them less than vegetables.

(58:02) So again, I eat fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, mushrooms. (58:07) Once in a while I do eggs. (58:09) I don’t eat them super often.

(58:11) And once in a while I’ll have seafood, but I don’t do that very often. (58:14) And then just me personally, I don’t, I don’t touch meat. (58:17) I mean, the whole reason I don’t touch meat is not because I (58:19) think meat is evil or anything.

(58:20) If I wanted the nutrients from me, I would use the magic of water (58:24) to actually pull the nutrients. (58:26) So like making certain types of broths, kind of like a boat broth type of stuff. (58:30) So I use water mostly because meat is dirty.

(58:33) I mean, I don’t know if you’ve seen the lab tests, um, all the beef tested in (58:37) America and they’ve done multiple studies. (58:39) They all test positive for fecal matter. (58:41) So, I mean, that’s pretty disgusting to me and I’m kind of a germaphobe.

(58:45) So I think that’s pretty gross. (58:46) And then on top of it, I’m really big on parasites as far as the literature and (58:51) understanding the science of parasites, how they keep the body from being able (58:55) to absorb nutrients properly, how they manipulate you chemically and may crave (58:59) certain foods, how they absolutely wreak havoc on creating war free radicals in (59:04) your body. (59:04) I mean, they literally defecate inside of you, uh, these parasites and they rob you (59:08) of nutrients and they eat things.

(59:10) But I am too. (59:11) I think all, I am one of those people. (59:15) I think all problems start with parasites.

(59:18) So let’s talk about that for just a second, because I think we’re all not, we (59:24) are all ridden with parasites and we need to get rid of them. (59:27) So what is your favorite thing to do to cleanse the parasites? (59:32) Well, I actually created my own protocol. (59:34) So I, the Japanese again, are number one in the world in understanding parasites.

(59:38) They have a whole research facility for it. (59:40) They have the number one museum also for understanding parasites. (59:44) And so I, I looked at their literature and I created an anti-parasitic protocol, (59:48) which is pretty involved.

(59:49) I’m not able to really disclose it all right here. (59:52) Plus some of it, um, places like YouTube, I used to have videos (59:55) and I used to educate on it. (59:56) I got attacked and I got flat and YouTube almost shut me down because of videos (1:00:01) that I had done years ago, by the way.

(1:00:03) And so I don’t really talk a lot about it. (1:00:06) Um, you can find certain things like a diatomaceous earth. (1:00:10) The science on that is really great.

(1:00:12) They’ve done a fecal tests on people who work at farms, people around animals, (1:00:16) people who have cats and dogs. (1:00:17) I hate to tell you, especially if you have them in your home, you’re (1:00:20) going to get their parasites. (1:00:21) Uh, there’s a reason that I got rid of my animals, which was really sad (1:00:25) because I love animals and stuff, but I couldn’t have them in the house.

(1:00:28) Realizing that I was sick and that these parasites were playing (1:00:31) a role in this, in my opinion. (1:00:33) I did some anti-parasitic cleanses. (1:00:35) I literally have pictures of the stuff that came out.

(1:00:37) It’s completely gross. (1:00:38) I can’t believe that the stuff was even real. (1:00:41) And you have to learn about different anti-parasitics because there is no (1:00:45) silver bullet for parasites, by the way, they function a lot like bacteria in (1:00:49) the sense that if you have an infection, they literally have to look at (1:00:52) what type of antibiotic to use.

(1:00:54) It’s the same thing with parasites. (1:00:56) There’s different kinds. (1:00:57) So I use this broad spectrum protocol that I created, but (1:01:00) diatomaceous earth is very inexpensive.

(1:01:03) I would definitely get food grade. (1:01:04) And there’s a lot of protocols online that you can find out. (1:01:07) I actually use the hydrogen water with it to help clear out, you know, the (1:01:11) GI to some extent and keep it healthy.

(1:01:13) Um, the other thing is most of the food I eat is actually anti-parasitic. (1:01:16) So you’ll be surprised to find out that basically a lot of vegetables, even (1:01:21) some fruits and even different types of nuts and these types of foods (1:01:24) are actually anti-parasitic. (1:01:26) Uh, you can find a lot of that literature also, again, reading the data.

(1:01:29) Um, I also use other anti-parasitics that I can’t really talk about, (1:01:33) quote unquote on, on a channel because I don’t want to get you in trouble, (1:01:37) but also found literature about hydrogen. (1:01:39) This actually surprised me. (1:01:40) I didn’t know, but I literally found studies that when they were using (1:01:44) hydrogen in the studies and they were studying parasites in this particular (1:01:47) study was for the liver and the parasitic numbers came down quite a bit.

(1:01:51) So it’s not that I think hydrogen kills parasites in my opinion, but it creates an (1:01:56) environment where parasites don’t want to be. (1:01:58) And that’s actually, in my opinion, a good thing. (1:02:00) So hydrogen really creates this wonderful, beautiful environment inside your body.

(1:02:04) And these bugs just don’t want to be in there. (1:02:06) And I think that that’s the problem with parasites is that they do have a function (1:02:10) and they’re going into the body for a reason, but that’s one of the reasons that (1:02:13) I also avoid, you know, eating meat, especially pork pork is, I mean, (1:02:17) I’ll tell you the ancient scriptures were right in my opinion, when they said, (1:02:20) do not eat pork because the science on port is pretty horrendous when it comes to (1:02:26) parasites and it can be darn right. (1:02:28) So dangerous that it could literally kill you sometimes.

(1:02:31) Um, if you get one of these nasty parasites that actually ends up in your brain, (1:02:34) um, there’s been literally literature on people who from eating pork would get a (1:02:39) little parasite and even know it, it was eating away at their brain until they (1:02:43) started having really, uh, bad symptoms. (1:02:45) And so I just stay away from pork altogether. (1:02:47) I do not.

(1:02:48) And yeah, I’m really thinking about keeping the temple as clean as possible, (1:02:52) the human body, and it, it rewards you with good health. (1:02:55) I don’t know about you guys, but I am stressed. (1:02:58) And if you’re feeling overwhelmed this holiday season, then I get it with all (1:03:03) the family get togethers, it is just a relentless source of stress, but anyway, (1:03:10) there is something that I’ve got called stress guardian, and it’s actually made (1:03:14) by, by optimizers, the people who make the magnesium breakthrough, which I love, (1:03:19) love, love, but anyway, they are literally made this new product.

(1:03:24) It has 14 adaptogenic herbs and it just regulates your stress. (1:03:29) I just actually took some right this second. (1:03:32) And it’s awesome.

(1:03:33) If you go to stress, guardian.com slash waste away and put in a waste away for (1:03:38) 10% off your first order it’s stress guardian.com slash waste away. (1:03:44) Go there now. (1:03:47) Awesome.

(1:03:48) Well, this has been awesome. (1:03:49) Tell listeners where they can find you and where they can follow you. (1:03:53) So if people really want to see all my best work and again, (1:03:58) everything’s free, it’s on YouTube.

(1:03:59) The name of the channel is called uprising. (1:04:01) One four 4k. (1:04:02) I am on Instagram.

(1:04:04) I don’t do a ton of stuff there, but you can find me there. (1:04:06) Also seen the uprising one four 4k, or you might even be able to search (1:04:10) under the hydrogen man, but most of it’s uprising one four 4k. (1:04:14) You can find me on Twitter or X also.

(1:04:16) I just post a little bit. (1:04:17) They’re not a ton either. (1:04:19) You can also find me on rumble, but I also don’t put a ton of stuff there.

(1:04:23) I’m not a big computer guy and I just been doing this all (1:04:25) for free on a shoestring budget. (1:04:27) So most of it is just kind of YouTube videos, educating and showing what it (1:04:31) is that I have done to overcome these crazy medical issues. (1:04:35) And so just try to help people out there.

(1:04:37) Awesome. (1:04:38) Well, you guys stay tuned. (1:04:40) We’ve got another episode coming up in just a few.
