Paws & Longevity

Show Notes
Transcript

Paws and Longevity emphasizes that true vitality requires a two-way approach: a species-appropriate diet for pets and a farm-to-table lifestyle for their owners. Because self-love and daily happiness rituals are just as critical to a long life as nutrition, achieving optimal wellness is a shared journey. My Paleo Pet, located in Pompano Beach, Florida, serves as the ultimate one-stop shop for both pets and pet parents to launch their path toward a healthier, longer life together.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.179
And welcome to Pet Health Cafe, the show where your

9

along with my special guest host, Michelle, the health coach.

11
00:00:51.409 --> 00:00:52.950
How are you doing tonight, Michelle?

12
00:00:52.969 --> 00:00:55.950
Fantastic, Bill. How about yourself?

13
00:00:56.950 --> 00:00:59.289
Oh, another one of those days. You know, too many

14
00:00:59.329 --> 00:01:02.729
of them in a row, unfortunately. The world is not

15
00:01:02.810 --> 00:01:05.609
being as kind as it should be. And because of that,

16
00:01:05.629 --> 00:01:08.780
I want everybody to click on their share button so

17
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.780
that this message gets out because we're all facing the

18
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.400
same stuff. The more stuff we know, the better off

19
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.760
we are. Share, like, and subscribe so you don't miss

20
00:01:18.819 --> 00:01:21.810
another one. Chat is open, as always. We want to

21
00:01:21.849 --> 00:01:24.209
hear your comments. We want to see that you're out there.

22
00:01:24.230 --> 00:01:27.500
We always appreciate that. And, you know, we're going to

23
00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:31.120
do a really special show tonight. And it's one that's

24
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.900
near and dear to my heart. And it's on longevity.

25
00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:39.629
And the reason it's so important to me is I've

26
00:01:39.650 --> 00:01:45.430
been preaching this for, actually, the longevity thing for probably

27
00:01:45.430 --> 00:01:48.950
30 or 40 years. When I started in the industry,

28
00:01:49.010 --> 00:01:51.250
I actually got a chance to work with World War

29
00:01:51.290 --> 00:01:54.650
II veteran dogs. I was 30 years old. Everybody said

30
00:01:54.670 --> 00:01:58.230
I was nuts. I was crazy. I wrote an article

31
00:01:58.390 --> 00:02:02.329
on it from a major magazine. Got fact-checked from here

32
00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:06.310
to China. Everybody who had to check it and everything else.

33
00:02:07.510 --> 00:02:10.490
And when it proved out to be, one of the

34
00:02:10.509 --> 00:02:13.830
celebrities out there decided, because they had money, to go

35
00:02:13.849 --> 00:02:16.370
ahead and do some research and write a book on

36
00:02:16.449 --> 00:02:19.370
it and capitalize on it. And, of course, there was

37
00:02:19.430 --> 00:02:22.830
no mention of the groundbreaking work that I did in

38
00:02:22.849 --> 00:02:26.219
the beginning. And it's like, I don't care. as long

39
00:02:26.259 --> 00:02:28.969
as the message is getting out there. But you know what?

40
00:02:29.409 --> 00:02:32.530
Don't use it as your own. You know, give credit

41
00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:36.949
where credit is due. And it's been a journey of mine.

42
00:02:37.469 --> 00:02:39.449
Those of you, you know, and you don't have to

43
00:02:39.509 --> 00:02:45.310
believe me. You can go back 19 years in my programming.

44
00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:49.969
It's on tape if it wasn't on video. It's in

45
00:02:50.009 --> 00:02:54.430
the radio archive. I've been preaching this same thing And

46
00:02:54.490 --> 00:03:00.419
it stays almost completely consistent with some updates. And with

47
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.580
that being said, you know, I want you to really

48
00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:07.879
click on your brains out there. Yeah, I know. It's

49
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.780
really tough because the stuff that we do is not

50
00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:15.689
for myself. It's not for Michelle. Although it was for

51
00:03:15.729 --> 00:03:18.729
Michelle's dogs and cats when she was a customer. You know,

52
00:03:19.210 --> 00:03:22.090
just like all my other clients, I do it for you.

53
00:03:23.310 --> 00:03:26.169
I mean, I can't say it any more, any differently.

54
00:03:27.550 --> 00:03:29.590
But I know, Michelle, you've got a lot of stuff

55
00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:32.439
that you wanted to talk about on longevity. But let's

56
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.360
face it. The whole core to it is the causes

57
00:03:36.419 --> 00:03:45.840
of disease, deficiency and toxicity, poisoning and malnutrition. You are

58
00:03:45.969 --> 00:03:48.729
and your pets are what you put in your mouth,

59
00:03:48.810 --> 00:03:52.629
put on your skin, snort up your nose. It all

60
00:03:52.969 --> 00:03:55.969
adds up over time. So with that, you want to again,

61
00:03:56.030 --> 00:03:58.229
let us in a couple of things that you kind

62
00:03:58.270 --> 00:03:59.009
of dug up.

63
00:03:59.009 --> 00:04:03.520
Hi everybody. So happy to be here again, talking and

64
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.419
having a nice discussion with Bill and hopefully educating all

65
00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:10.599
of you on maybe a few things you know, but

66
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.870
need a little push towards. Longevity is something that Bill

67
00:04:14.930 --> 00:04:17.850
and I really talk about a lot, not only with

68
00:04:17.930 --> 00:04:21.660
our pets, but ourselves as, because of our ages, we're

69
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.449
up there too. I'm 60, he's 75. And we want

70
00:04:26.509 --> 00:04:28.490
to live as long as we can. We want to

71
00:04:28.529 --> 00:04:35.449
live vibrant, happy lives, not just living quantity, quality lives.

72
00:04:35.490 --> 00:04:38.000
That's the most important. And I always say this, Bill.

73
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.480
I say, my daughter's 21. I don't want her to

74
00:04:41.540 --> 00:04:44.879
go through what I went through with my dad, taking

75
00:04:44.939 --> 00:04:46.839
care of my dad day in and day out for

76
00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:51.230
for two years at one point, it's not fun to

77
00:04:51.290 --> 00:04:54.569
watch our parents go through this. So if we can

78
00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:58.430
help you, help your parents, you know, just even taking

79
00:04:58.550 --> 00:05:02.550
baby steps. We're not perfect people. We're just here to

80
00:05:02.829 --> 00:05:06.029
share what we do so that you understand you too

81
00:05:06.110 --> 00:05:08.810
can do it for your pets, for yourselves.

82
00:05:09.209 --> 00:05:11.670
Yeah. Well, the thing is, is, you know, Michelle, that

83
00:05:12.089 --> 00:05:16.610
pet parents are faced with that, you know, quite often,

84
00:05:17.790 --> 00:05:20.689
you know, as people and as family members, that sort

85
00:05:20.709 --> 00:05:23.209
of thing, you know, quite often we don't have to

86
00:05:23.250 --> 00:05:26.420
be put into that situation because we've got siblings, we've got,

87
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.560
you know, nursing homes, you've got, you know, care facilities,

88
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.620
all that sort of stuff. But when it comes to

89
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.800
your pet, you're stuck with it, you know. And unfortunately,

90
00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:39.360
I see too many people that when the dog, you know,

91
00:05:39.459 --> 00:05:43.519
starts limping too much or what they consider quality of life,

92
00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:47.699
then I watch a veterinary community say, You know what?

93
00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:51.740
It's probably time that we kill them. Yeah, that's what

94
00:05:51.819 --> 00:05:55.819
euthanasia is, is killing your pet. Well, they were killing

95
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.500
your pet with all the drugs they put in them

96
00:05:57.540 --> 00:06:00.560
in the first place. And that's so distressful in itself.

97
00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:04.639
But you know what? Euthanasia is not a treatment plan.

98
00:06:05.139 --> 00:06:08.459
The body regenerates itself. Like I said, I started out

99
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.959
my career working with 30-year-old dogs. Everybody thought, you know,

100
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.920
you're all taught that if it lives 10, 15 years,

101
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.990
you're You did really good. No, you didn't do really good.

102
00:06:20.350 --> 00:06:22.670
You did a disservice. But the other part of that

103
00:06:22.769 --> 00:06:27.449
is that 15 years, how much of it was enjoyable

104
00:06:27.709 --> 00:06:30.889
and comfortable for the animal? How many years were they

105
00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:38.720
in pain? How many years did they have gastric issues, distress, stress,

106
00:06:38.779 --> 00:06:43.060
and upset belly because you fed a non-appropriate diet?

107
00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:46.240
I mean, we are what we eat, you know. Bill

108
00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:50.660
and I eat very well, wholesome diet, raw. We don't

109
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.670
eat raw like we feed our pets, but we're always

110
00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:02.029
eating grass-fed, grass-finished beef, chicken that's pasture-raised, eggs pasture-raised. We

111
00:07:02.509 --> 00:07:05.449
go the extra mile to do that because we know

112
00:07:05.529 --> 00:07:09.110
that that will help with longevity. We do a program.

113
00:07:09.129 --> 00:07:14.009
We're not every day so rigid to the point where

114
00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:17.910
we get bored. Boredom is not the key to longevity.

115
00:07:18.269 --> 00:07:22.930
We need to have some variety in our daily routines

116
00:07:23.009 --> 00:07:24.910
as well. Even if you go to work and you

117
00:07:24.949 --> 00:07:27.990
take the same road every single day, it gets boring.

118
00:07:28.009 --> 00:07:32.199
It gets monotonous. You need to have happiness in your lives, laughter.

119
00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:36.480
Longevity is not just the one thing that you do

120
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.110
and then that's it. I mean, if I go shopping

121
00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:42.930
at the supermarket, which is rare because I get all

122
00:07:42.949 --> 00:07:46.509
my things now from my paleo pet, but I make

123
00:07:46.629 --> 00:07:49.069
sure that I get my steps in. I make sure

124
00:07:49.110 --> 00:07:52.589
that I'm not just going to the supermarket, parking right

125
00:07:52.629 --> 00:07:55.120
in front. I park a little bit further so I

126
00:07:55.149 --> 00:07:59.000
get extra steps. Throughout your day, you should not be

127
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.079
just sitting there watching TV. If you are a citizen

128
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.800
and you are able to walk with your legs gone,

129
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:12.379
get there. the music going, put a little, but you

130
00:08:12.449 --> 00:08:16.459
have to be able to get your body moving. Moving

131
00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:20.639
is key. 80%, I would say, is diet, but moving

132
00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:22.079
is key.

133
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.980
Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, I mean, you know, we battle,

134
00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:29.139
of course, he was just making a note here because

135
00:08:29.610 --> 00:08:31.389
we had a little bit of a delay in the

136
00:08:32.009 --> 00:08:36.450
video feed. We fight, and Michelle, I fight all day long.

137
00:08:36.850 --> 00:08:42.570
Technology companies, the computer, getting things right. It's not an

138
00:08:42.690 --> 00:08:45.870
easy thing to do in today's world. It's, you know,

139
00:08:46.330 --> 00:08:50.710
which adds more and more stress on everything you do.

140
00:08:51.149 --> 00:08:54.750
But everybody has stress, Bill. It's how you take on

141
00:08:54.809 --> 00:08:58.190
those challenges, how you deal with your stress. You know,

142
00:08:58.309 --> 00:09:00.740
once I feel like I'm on the computer too much

143
00:09:00.769 --> 00:09:03.480
or I'm dealing with customer complaints or I'm on the

144
00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:06.120
phone too much, I take my dogs for a walk.

145
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.360
Our dogs are a blessing to us. Our pets are

146
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.519
a blessing. Even my cats, I'll play with my cats

147
00:09:12.610 --> 00:09:16.549
and that lowers my cortisol. That makes me feel better.

148
00:09:17.070 --> 00:09:20.350
Anything that's going to remove you out of your home,

149
00:09:20.370 --> 00:09:23.210
your dogs help you because you're taking them for a walk.

150
00:09:23.450 --> 00:09:29.340
And that walk is crucial to longevity. Absolutely crucial.

151
00:09:30.299 --> 00:09:32.419
But, you know, we also have to worry. We have

152
00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:36.509
to watch our pets as well. because, you know, certain

153
00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:41.029
animals can't, you know, you're walking off your stress, but

154
00:09:41.070 --> 00:09:44.019
you're maybe stressing them more and more because they don't

155
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.919
have the physical capacity to do it. I mean, you've

156
00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:52.120
got two dogs that are totally different in their physiological

157
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:57.049
ability to do certain things. You know, your doodle got

158
00:09:57.129 --> 00:10:03.039
long legs and a longer body and much more energy

159
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.840
than your bully does. Your bully is like challenged because

160
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.879
of the structure. It has nothing to do with their attitude.

161
00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:14.759
It has everything to do with structure and, you know,

162
00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:18.500
I mean, We went through this almost close to a

163
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:23.720
year ago that you have to exercise them differently. And,

164
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.289
you know, our animals pick up on our energy as well.

165
00:10:28.309 --> 00:10:30.649
And that's a big part of that factor, isn't it?

166
00:10:30.809 --> 00:10:31.049
It is.

167
00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:34.529
But my point, Bill, is that because we have dogs,

168
00:10:34.850 --> 00:10:38.269
they kind of force us to get off our butts

169
00:10:38.529 --> 00:10:39.190
and get out.

170
00:10:39.509 --> 00:10:40.690
You know, if we don't.

171
00:10:40.590 --> 00:10:44.009
Have them, some people don't have them, and then they

172
00:10:44.029 --> 00:10:47.789
just sit more. So for me, it's a really good

173
00:10:47.870 --> 00:10:51.490
excuse to get out. Even if it's a quick walk,

174
00:10:51.549 --> 00:10:54.720
it doesn't have to be an hour walk or 30 minutes.

175
00:10:54.779 --> 00:10:57.720
It could be a short walk. I do intermittent walks

176
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.000
throughout my day while I'm working. It could be three walks.

177
00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:03.840
It could be four walks, you know, just down the block.

178
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.720
And I feel great. It makes me feel good. It

179
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.090
brings me great joy to see them have happiness, to

180
00:11:10.129 --> 00:11:13.370
go out in the sunshine. Sunshine is what it's about,

181
00:11:13.570 --> 00:11:18.009
you know, and that's what we need. to our happiness.

182
00:11:19.370 --> 00:11:22.830
You know, what's interesting is people who live in the

183
00:11:22.870 --> 00:11:25.470
blue zone, there are five blue zones that I was

184
00:11:25.509 --> 00:11:30.590
looking at, and in different countries such as Japan and Italy,

185
00:11:31.210 --> 00:11:35.549
and those people, like in Okinawa, they talk about longevity

186
00:11:35.590 --> 00:11:38.490
and they say, well, how do those people live long lives?

187
00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:42.399
And what makes them so different from America? Well, one

188
00:11:42.450 --> 00:11:46.029
of the key factors not only was how well they eat,

189
00:11:46.090 --> 00:11:49.470
but the key factor for them, especially for women in

190
00:11:49.529 --> 00:11:54.950
their senior years, was the fact that they love to gather.

191
00:11:55.429 --> 00:12:00.149
So gathering, social events, maybe going to your church, partaking

192
00:12:00.210 --> 00:12:06.259
with people, like-minded people, staying in areas with people who

193
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.879
are negative. We want to push that away. You know,

194
00:12:09.940 --> 00:12:12.659
we do not need that in our lives. Choose your

195
00:12:12.700 --> 00:12:17.799
people wisely. Choose your tribe wisely is what I would say.

196
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:21.470
That's very, very important. You know, when I look at

197
00:12:21.529 --> 00:12:24.470
what we do at the store, you know, the reason

198
00:12:24.490 --> 00:12:27.769
that people shop at my paleo pad and, you know,

199
00:12:28.250 --> 00:12:32.539
buy the things that we offer and follow our advice

200
00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:38.129
is because they are like-minded. Exactly. And, you know, when

201
00:12:38.169 --> 00:12:41.269
we get new clients coming in, to try to fit

202
00:12:41.409 --> 00:12:45.250
in and understand where we're coming from is not necessarily

203
00:12:45.289 --> 00:12:48.210
a very easy task. You know, when I have to

204
00:12:48.250 --> 00:12:51.990
tell you that everything your doctor said was wrong, you know,

205
00:12:52.009 --> 00:12:55.549
they'll look at me like, Bill, I got 97 years

206
00:12:55.590 --> 00:12:58.169
of education. They got all these licenses and all these

207
00:12:58.549 --> 00:13:02.529
letters after their name. That doesn't make them godlike. It

208
00:13:02.549 --> 00:13:05.950
doesn't mean that they're absolutely right. We know that modern

209
00:13:05.990 --> 00:13:11.549
medicine doesn't do anything to promote health and well-being and longevity.

210
00:13:12.029 --> 00:13:20.279
It's about symptom management. Let me make your headache, your backache,

211
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.129
your knee ache less stressful, but not heal it.

212
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.490
You know what I love? When I go into the

213
00:13:26.590 --> 00:13:30.090
store and I'm able to talk with clients and they

214
00:13:30.190 --> 00:13:33.509
share their stories with me and it breaks my heart.

215
00:13:33.909 --> 00:13:37.590
But in the same token, I'm so proud of them

216
00:13:37.669 --> 00:13:42.809
because they did not. There's one particular customer. He comes

217
00:13:42.889 --> 00:13:47.620
to mind. He was talking about his cancer, his bowel cancer.

218
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.820
And he said he refused to do the chemo. He

219
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.980
refused to do the radiation. And he took a chance.

220
00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:56.779
He took a chance on everything that Bill spoke to

221
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.940
him about, the cancer AM and PM herbal blends and everything.

222
00:14:02.269 --> 00:14:06.009
He took the chance. And today he's cancer free. He's

223
00:14:06.070 --> 00:14:10.049
now eating. He was eating much healthier, not eating the

224
00:14:10.129 --> 00:14:14.980
four food groups, you know, the gluten, the fake foods,

225
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.500
the fried foods, the seed oils. You need to take

226
00:14:18.539 --> 00:14:21.879
these things out of your diet. And until you stop

227
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.700
buying the potato chips and stop buying all the things

228
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.580
that are in the supermarket, on those shelves, in the

229
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:32.360
middle aisles, you're going to have imbalances, you're going to

230
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:37.620
have disease. And that's an issue. But I tell you

231
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:42.220
this because when I see these clients come in and

232
00:14:42.259 --> 00:14:46.039
they share their stories of how they fought their cancer

233
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.320
tooth and nail through diet and change of diet, it

234
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.840
makes me so proud of the work that Bill has

235
00:14:52.899 --> 00:14:56.879
done in his place. And it's just an amazing thing.

236
00:14:57.429 --> 00:15:02.129
to see these people who've accomplished so much because of

237
00:15:02.190 --> 00:15:03.750
their belief in you.

238
00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:08.080
But it's still a battle, too, because not only is

239
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:12.639
their doctors and their so-called health providers, which is a

240
00:15:12.659 --> 00:15:17.220
misnomer in itself, they're not health providers. They're symptom management people.

241
00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:21.179
I wish they would label themselves as such. But also

242
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:26.259
because their immediate community, and when I talk about that,

243
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:29.789
that's their family. their friends, that sort of thing, don't

244
00:15:29.870 --> 00:15:35.850
necessarily buy into the healthy lifestyle. So it's like, you know,

245
00:15:35.909 --> 00:15:38.330
I've had many, many cases where it's like, you have

246
00:15:38.389 --> 00:15:41.080
to take your dog back to the vet because we're

247
00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:44.059
looking at what's going on and you're doing, and then

248
00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:47.059
turns around and then like six months later, it's like,

249
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:52.779
I can't believe your dog survived doing what Bill said.

250
00:15:53.580 --> 00:15:55.600
You know, I would have been at the vet, right? Well,

251
00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:59.000
it's like, wait a minute. Your eyes see it, and

252
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.549
yet you're saying it never happened. What's wrong with that picture?

253
00:16:03.970 --> 00:16:08.330
Belief system. It's like myself. I mean, you know, I

254
00:16:08.350 --> 00:16:11.389
joke around. I haven't been to an MD in forever.

255
00:16:12.129 --> 00:16:14.210
And I know that the medical people are watching this,

256
00:16:14.230 --> 00:16:17.809
and they're probably writing up papers to have me committed

257
00:16:18.730 --> 00:16:22.250
so they can do experimentation on me. But I handle

258
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.879
everything myself. I mean, I always have. I probably always will.

259
00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:30.519
I hopefully will. And, you know, when my time comes,

260
00:16:30.940 --> 00:16:35.399
it'll just be a pleasant experience. I won't be on 4,000

261
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:40.779
machines and 97 different drugs that I can't even realize

262
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.610
that the people that care about me are around me.

263
00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:46.620
I want to be able to recognize them. I want

264
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:48.690
to be able to talk to them. I want to

265
00:16:48.730 --> 00:16:53.269
be able to, you know, enjoy that. I want the

266
00:16:53.309 --> 00:16:55.889
same for our pets. I don't want my pet going

267
00:16:55.929 --> 00:17:00.139
into a sterile by making, getting it, you know, multiple

268
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.899
shots to kill them. You know, I've had many, many

269
00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.440
of my own pets that have gone to the end

270
00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:08.500
of their life. Some of them are shorter than others.

271
00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:11.240
There's no guarantee that every single one of them is

272
00:17:11.289 --> 00:17:15.109
going to have that longevity because we don't know, especially

273
00:17:15.130 --> 00:17:19.730
with our pets, you know, what's been done upstream. And

274
00:17:19.750 --> 00:17:24.079
when I talk about that, what medications, what exposures have

275
00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:27.619
these four pets had before we ever got them. What

276
00:17:27.730 --> 00:17:32.809
food were they being fed? Mom and grandmom and great-grandmom.

277
00:17:34.170 --> 00:17:38.869
I've watched over 60 years the whole industry change. We

278
00:17:38.890 --> 00:17:42.150
didn't have commercial pet foods like we do today. We

279
00:17:42.170 --> 00:17:46.569
didn't have specialty foods that are actually poisoning our animals.

280
00:17:46.910 --> 00:17:53.450
We didn't have the preventative schedules that they put out recently.

281
00:17:54.109 --> 00:17:56.920
You know, we're seeing some changes, some, you know, some

282
00:17:56.980 --> 00:18:00.210
veterinarians that are sticking their neck out a little bit. And,

283
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.299
you know, but most of them are only taking part

284
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.069
of what we've been preaching and then still adding in

285
00:18:07.089 --> 00:18:11.930
some of the conventional stuff. And it's tough, you know,

286
00:18:12.329 --> 00:18:15.089
and they're being duped, you know, they're duping their clients

287
00:18:15.289 --> 00:18:17.490
into thinking that they're holistic. We're going to be right

288
00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.799
back after this quick message.

said before the break, you know, it's tough because sometimes

324
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.700
we have to break down things that people are really,

325
00:21:02.859 --> 00:21:05.869
really uncomfortable with. You know, to be told that what

326
00:21:05.910 --> 00:21:10.549
you were taught, what you learned, is fundamentally wrong, and

327
00:21:10.829 --> 00:21:15.690
have to learn a new belief system is really, really tough.

328
00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:19.380
You know, when you look, you mentioned those blue zone areas,

329
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:24.119
that sort of thing, where these are areas where basically

330
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:28.319
civilization is kind of passed by, technology is passed by,

331
00:21:28.339 --> 00:21:31.970
so they're not inundated with the internet 24-7. You know, with...

332
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.549
you know, with 9,000 opinions as to what you should

333
00:21:38.569 --> 00:21:41.710
be doing right now. I mean, I know if you're

334
00:21:41.750 --> 00:21:44.170
listening to us and watching us right now, thank you.

335
00:21:44.190 --> 00:21:49.490
Thank you. Because there's probably thousands of other podcasts you

336
00:21:49.509 --> 00:21:51.789
could be watching right now. In fact, we even have

337
00:21:51.849 --> 00:21:55.490
colleagues that have podcasts on at the same time. And

338
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.440
it's like, choose between us. You know, what we do

339
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:01.180
is a little bit different, you know, and we're hopefully

340
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:05.369
giving you a pathway to, So that you can live

341
00:22:05.390 --> 00:22:08.829
a long life. I mean, I've gone through it. I'm

342
00:22:09.349 --> 00:22:13.849
the eldest in my family now. I've lost a younger brother,

343
00:22:13.910 --> 00:22:17.829
a younger sister. My father passed away younger than I am.

344
00:22:18.450 --> 00:22:21.650
My mother a lot younger than I am when I

345
00:22:21.670 --> 00:22:27.539
was actually in my 20s. I just, you know, I'm probably,

346
00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:31.579
you know, as far as my lineage is concerned, I'm

347
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.829
really up to my name. as a guru. I mean,

348
00:22:34.849 --> 00:22:37.650
that's the only thing I can say. I'm blessed for

349
00:22:37.690 --> 00:22:40.750
being able to do it. Am I perfect? No, I've

350
00:22:40.789 --> 00:22:44.849
made a lot of mistakes in my life. Unfortunately, I,

351
00:22:45.410 --> 00:22:49.890
you know, it didn't take precedent. I've learned from every

352
00:22:49.930 --> 00:22:53.250
single one of those mistakes. I keep learning every day today.

353
00:22:53.269 --> 00:22:57.230
I just keep doing more and more learning. That's all

354
00:22:57.250 --> 00:22:59.890
I can say. I keep looking for technologies that will

355
00:22:59.930 --> 00:23:05.289
help us out. We do have several technologies. Um, with

356
00:23:05.390 --> 00:23:10.920
different ways of balancing out the body, light therapies and

357
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:16.119
water therapies that we've been doing. And is it inexpensive?

358
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:16.819
No.

359
00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:19.440
But what is your life worth? Exactly. What is your

360
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.839
life worth? Oh, my God. And to have a good

361
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:30.549
water purification system, actually a medical-grade water unit, is going

362
00:23:30.569 --> 00:23:33.880
to cost you $ 5, 000 or more. Okay? Okay. That seems

363
00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:36.220
like a lot of money. But you know, you just

364
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.240
spent 60 grand on that freaking car that's going to

365
00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:41.960
be worth nothing. And this is lifetime. What do you

366
00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:42.339
trade it in?

367
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:47.529
This water machine we're referring to is lifetime. Lifetime guarantee.

368
00:23:48.069 --> 00:23:52.490
So anything that you buy, it's lifetime. It's going to be,

369
00:23:53.009 --> 00:23:54.509
it will benefit everything.

370
00:23:55.329 --> 00:23:58.329
Every herb that you put into your body, if it's

371
00:23:58.690 --> 00:24:02.390
in the right direction, is an investment in your health.

372
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.039
You know, I want to go back to self-love. That's

373
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.660
really what it's all about. If you love yourself enough

374
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:16.390
to feed your body correctly, get the rest that you need,

375
00:24:16.470 --> 00:24:19.349
get the exercise that you need, have the right friends,

376
00:24:19.809 --> 00:24:23.549
life could be really beautiful. You don't need to have

377
00:24:24.529 --> 00:24:27.170
hundreds of friends. You don't need to be carrying your

378
00:24:27.230 --> 00:24:29.430
phones all day long. You don't need to be on

379
00:24:29.470 --> 00:24:33.240
your computers all day long. I understand most of us are,

380
00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:36.630
but we need to learn how to step up, step away,

381
00:24:36.849 --> 00:24:40.970
take breaks. Because if we don't, you know, even myself,

382
00:24:41.210 --> 00:24:44.410
even Bill, we're on the computer way too much. And

383
00:24:44.430 --> 00:24:47.450
I always say that. Let's move away from it. Step

384
00:24:47.650 --> 00:24:50.950
away from technology for a little bit. That will clear

385
00:24:51.029 --> 00:24:55.539
your mind. Find things that you resonate with. Find your passion.

386
00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:58.680
Is it gardening? Is it going to the beach? Is

387
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:01.339
it watching a movie? Is it taking a nap? Going

388
00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:03.880
for a bike ride. I mean, there's so many things.

389
00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:06.359
I'm not going to get into everything because there's no time.

390
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:10.140
But you need to find what you love.

391
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:13.740
Self-love. You know, when we look at that, how do

392
00:25:13.789 --> 00:25:16.730
you teach that to your pets? You don't.

393
00:25:17.049 --> 00:25:19.950
You have to be the one to help your pets.

394
00:25:20.450 --> 00:25:23.769
The pets don't know about self-love. They don't understand. I

395
00:25:23.869 --> 00:25:25.170
love all of my.

396
00:25:25.069 --> 00:25:27.809
