2:08
health so we'll build up to that question at the end but just as an introduction Dr Jack would you mind just
2:13
letting us know a little bit more about who you are and what it is that you do yeah for sure you know so I'm a board
2:18
certified cardiologist like my father before me so I'd like to say that I was born into the medical Matrix my father
2:26
as a cardiologist he's talking to my mother about Cardiology stuff you know and some of his colleagues when I was in
2:32
the womb so I'm hearing this since before I was born and then of course as a young child and so on and so forth and
2:38
my dream was to become a cardiologist just like my father and that's exactly what I did at the age of 31 I joined the
2:45
biggest group in the state of Arizona making a lot of money very busy as a cardiologist really at the top of the
2:52
game one of Phoenix Top Doctors uh I was awarded that and as my career was taking
2:57
off unfortunately my father he was not not doing well so he was in his late 50s
3:03
and eventually he would get diagnosed by the Mayo Clinic with Progressive supranuclear paly or PSP it's a
3:10
Parkinson's like illness and the Mayo Clinic said they have no idea why my father is sick and dying and no
3:16
treatment and they said he'll be dead within three years and he would pass within three years and simultaneously in
3:23
serendipitously I met this 29-year-old woman who uh is a doctor of chiropratic
3:30
and she told me all the reasons why my father is sick and dying so the mail Clinic had no reasons and here the
3:36
29-year-old chiropractor she's got all the reasons and the reasons as as we can
3:42
talk about but uh you know those reasons made total sense to me it's not something I ever learned in medical
3:47
school but I would do a lot of research I would change my personal life I would change my professional life and then it
3:53
was interesting you know she said you know you need to become a DC doctor of Chiropractic uh you know or you you need
4:00
to become a DC and I said wait second I'm not going to become a chiropractor after 10 years of medical training and where I'm at right now she said no not
4:06
DC doctor chiropractic you need to become a DC doctor of cause and that's what I would do I would leave the big uh
4:12
Cardiology Group I would start my own practice natural heart doctor and of course I would go on to marry this
4:18
beautiful uh woman Inside and Out and we've got four children and live in the mountains and the fight is real the
4:25
fight is on a daily basis uh but I wouldn't trade any of to the world
4:31
amazing so it sounds like from the struggles your father experienced and
4:37
was that the kind of the first eye openening um experience you had of like the conventional medicine not really
4:44
having any answers for him and and you kind of had this chance um conversation with with this 29 year old woman that um
4:52
changed your perspective a little bit how did that work yeah you know it was uh as as she said all these things I was
4:58
just I was you know again um you know divine intervention just open up my eyes to you know uh in my brain to the
5:06
reality of what was going on what she said made perfect sense so talking about lifestyle talking about nutrition
5:13
talking about all the toxins going on in the world that these are the things that
5:19
lead to all disease and I'm seeing heart attacks and strokes and heart failure
5:27
and atrial fibrillation I'm seeing this on a daily basis and mainstream medicine it's true right it's just here's a
5:33
pharmaceutical for this here's a surgery for this do this kind of radiation based test and clearly people are not getting
5:40
better the hospitals are revolving door you have a heart attack we put in a stent you go home you come back three
5:47
months later either with another heart attack a complication from the pharmaceutical uh congestive heart
5:53
failure were we're just kind of always in this you know reactive mode instead of prevention
6:00
and I will say listen you know bless the men and women who work in emergency rooms and Trauma Centers but for
6:05
prevention the medical community has nothing and then you know finally let me say that you know the medical doctors
6:11
are really good at at all the different labels right you've got you've got anxiety you've got uh depression you've
6:18
got bipolar disorder you've got cancer you've got heart disease you've got high blood pressure you know on and not like
6:25
10,000 different diagnosis codes in the in the ICD you know 10 book 10,000
6:32
different codes but it's all from the same stuff it's all from the same thing so whatever leads to mental health
6:38
disorders also leads to cardiovascular disease also leads to cancer so this is
6:43
root cause medicine you go after the roots and that's always going to be the
6:49
answer when you were working primarily as a cardiologist were you seeing
6:54
patients kind of at the like L end or
7:00
beginning of like disease manifestation or were you seeing individuals on like a early early
7:08
treatment basis because I just imagine like most doctors see individ especially
7:14
Specialists they see patients who have been referred to them and they've got significant symptoms and they have to go
7:21
and see a cardiologist about what's going on for them so were the most of the people you were seeing were they
7:26
were they having like s had serious heart issues I would love to say that the majority of people who come to see me are there for
7:34
primary prevention they've never had a heart attack they've never had high blood pressure maybe they've been told
7:39
they have family history or something like that so they see us before anything bad happens but the majority of people I
7:44
see they've had the heart attack they've had the event they've had the pain points and now they want to do something
7:50
about it and of course in my practice which is a holistic and natural practice we typically have seen people who've
7:56
already had cardiac events and they're not happy with their conventional medical doctor their conventional
8:02
cardiologist they don't want to be on the Pharmaceuticals they want a better way and that's what we you know you know
8:08
do in in my company and it tends to be you know very successful I do want to use the opportunity here also to talk
8:15
about this this whole concept of genetics or family history I want to say
8:21
this very clearly our genetics are perfect our genetics are perfect whoever
8:28
designed us call that person God Evolution God created Evolution whatever
8:33
it may be we're perfect we can run and jump and see and feel and we can make
8:39
babies like we can do some pretty amazing stuff why would we be genetically programmed to have heart
8:45
attacks Strokes brain diseases cancer were
8:51
not all of these things are man-made they're all man-made from an unhealthy
8:57
lifestyle and unhealthy nutrition environmental toxins this is what it's from or what I would say violations of
9:04
eat well live well and think well so the concept of family history would be very
9:11
similar now family history is true in the sense that we eat and live and think
9:16
like our family does therefore we're more likely to suffer from the same health problems that they do but it's
9:24
not in our genes the doctors love to say it's in our genes because then it implies there's nothing we can do about
9:30
it it's in your genetics nothing you could do take this pill and that's just
9:35
the way that us doctors are brainwashed really since you know day one of medical school you know pharmaceutical industry
9:43
is a$ 1.5 trillion dollar industry and growing every single year so the the the
9:50
money is not in the Cure uh and the money is not in the prevention that's for sure yeah it was quite clear to me
9:57
doing my nutrition training that um we inherit the environmental factors from our parents and our grandparents a lot
10:04
more than you know our genetic characteristics what we eat how we eat when we eat our response to stresses Etc
10:11
like all these things might see might seem minor to individuals but like it's happening constantly and especially
10:18
the nervous system aspect I mean how much your nervous system or your fight or flight nervous system is engaged on a
10:25
daily basis is going to contribute significantly to your ability to digest food and to engage your immune system
10:31
Etc so yeah it makes a heck of a lot of sense to me and I wanted to ask you because you've got this very interesting
10:36
experience with working as a conventional cardiologist and then shifting more towards like a preventative approach where do you feel
10:43
the like the psychological aspects come in in regards to like mindset
10:50
around individual prevention rather than waiting for something disease to
10:57
manifest or symptoms to manifest then going to see your doctor because you I'm 40 years old now and I take steps
11:03
towards my health today for when I'm 80 and I'm 90 I'm thinking about that now
11:08
I'm thinking about my grandkids my great grandkids and I want to be able to move and be able to do all these things I'm
11:14
thinking about that now but I don't think I'm the typical male 40-year-old in like North America I I don't think a
11:21
lot of people think are thinking about that um so I just wonder like where does you what's your opinion in regards to
11:27
like most people's mindset around that prevention
11:33
Pace yeah well I do want to you know say that the
11:39
the majority of doctors um the majority of of of true healthare practitioners in
11:46
the sense of people who uh are holistic and natural uh you know and you as you
11:52
know and your degree and nutrition and so many others like that we always talk about the nutrition part of the story we
11:59
always debate should we go you know vegan vegetarian paleo keto carnivore where should we go on this whole thing
12:06
and what the importance of sleep and sunshine and yes everybody's got to exercise and and do all this stuff but
12:13
we forget that the thought processes the mindset of people thinking well is just
12:22
as important if not more so which you know this already because this is your
12:27
business you is if not more so important than the food we put in our mouths
12:33
because if we are under stress if we are under fear if we feel anxiety if we feel
12:39
worry if we feel socially isolated uh if we're
12:44
unhappy we're going to be much more likely to have cardiovascular disease
12:49
for example and of course the other diseases there's PTSD there's childhood
12:55
traumas these things are not addressed by the medical doctors at all and people
13:00
are suffering because of it so we have to really Elevate that think well
13:06
component to the Forefront and I ask people who have had cardiac events what
13:12
was your stress level like before the event and every single time Simon people
13:17
say oh wow yeah there was it was chronic stress and then there was an acute stressor there's actually two well-known
13:25
cardiac diagnoses that are related to stress most commonly and women one is
13:30
spontaneous coronary artery dissection where a woman has no evidence of coronary artery disease but under a
13:36
stressful situation the two layers of the coronary arteries they shear and
13:41
then all of a sudden they they that creates a massive myocardial inunction and then the other is something called
13:47
broken heart syndrome or professionally known as tasuba cardiomyopathy and that is a Japanese
13:54
term in any case it's uh it's broken heart syndrome and it's like a the 55-year-old woman she gets into a fight
14:00
with her husband or with her boss suffers a massive heart attack no blockage uh there whatsoever uh so those
14:07
these are stress induced uh uh issues and then I guess ultimately to answer you know your your question you know
14:14
about like the you know the mindset uh my father died at 63 I've got four children I want to have
14:22
grandchildren at some point not anytime soon but I want to have grandchildren at some point uh I want to be around I want
14:28
to live so so the mindset is critical not only so I can help change the world
14:33
by living it to lead it but also you know walking the talk because I
14:41
personally want to live absolutely and yeah it's um it's so
14:48
interesting that it takes it takes something like a trauma or a tragedy or
14:53
your own physical experience to then start going to see somebody like yourself to work with with all the huge
15:01
aspects it takes to prevent and treat significant disease and I feel like just
15:06
in my own experience with people around me and myself I feel like when you you're 18 19 you start getting a bit
15:11
more appendant you might move away from home and go to university or whatever you spend a good 10 years maybe not like
15:17
treating your body as well as you should do and then you get into like 30s
15:23
mid-30s into 40s your body physically in my experience anyway can't deal with the
15:29
same input and lack of output that that you would do during your 20s and then that's when significant problems happen
15:37
and we learn even from like kids play when we play doctors that's what you go and do you just go and see a doctor when
15:43
you start to feel ill or you start to feel pain or discomfort or something like that and then you go there for a
15:50
cure a cure and you you get something right so yeah it's just interesting that
15:56
um so many people I've spoke to and regards to taking care of themselves now for the next 30 40 years have gone
16:02
through a significant trauma or something themselves which could be this big actually very positive awake moment
16:09
that actually brings them into the light a little bit more and starts thinking about their own mortality start thinking about their kids and I think it we spoke
16:16
about it before it's very important to recognize that we pass on much more
16:22
significantly our habits and how we treat ourselves as individuals to our
16:28
kids and inevitably want our kids to grow up wanting to take care of themselves wanting to consume like
16:34
better foods and moving their bodies and being more active like and we have a big responsibility as their primary mentors
16:39
in life to be to be to be doing that yeah most certainly and you like
16:45
you know it's kind of like uh for me definitely you know once uh you know I
16:51
met my wife and I saw what was happening my father that was very motivational and then bringing children into the equation
16:57
especially as as we get older as as an older dad you know so I had our first I
17:03
was 35 when our first son was born and then you know 40 for our second son and
17:09
then 46 for our first daughter and then 50 for our second daughter so I'm
17:15
changing diapers you know at the age of 50 and now I'm 53 and it's pretty darn
17:20
motivational to want to be around a long time I mean think about this you know the average life expectancy of a male in
17:27
the United States you know at least is mid 70s so that means you know the
17:33
average person at 53 will be alive until they 75 uh my da I mean that means my
17:40
daughter you know will be will be 25 years of age and and on average would
17:45
lose her father like that's pretty horrific so you know how would I be at the wedding how would I you know and so
17:51
I I think all that stuff is extremely you know motivational and I want to be around our company's the home of the
17:56
100e heart uh and I think everybody deserves that and everybody can you know attain that beautiful um do we have do
18:05
we have a Health crisis in North America across the world well heart disease is
18:10
number one killer worldwide so the answer you know is is is definitively yes you know despite uh the the hundreds
18:17
of billions of dollars that are spent on cardiovascular disease Lipitor is the number one selling pharmaceutical of all
18:23
time uh and yet this you know Still Remains the number one cause of heart disease and it's not surprising because
18:30
medicine is not trying to cure anybody they're just trying to perpetuate the sickness they cause the sickness they
18:36
perpetuate the sickness so there's no there's no money in the Cure of of anything so there definitely is a crisis
18:43
there's 100 million Americans with with high blood pressure numbers are of course going to be same in Canada uh you
18:49
know again with with high blood pressure uh coronary artery disease heart rhythm problems like age refibrillation or even
18:56
just the average person who may be walking around in like their heart skips it flips you know racing heart feelings
19:03
palpitations is the medical diagnosis and they go to the traditional doctor and the traditional doctor's like
19:09
ah you're fine couple extra beats no big deal but yet that person feels very affected and and those actually are a
19:17
predictor of you know significant cardiovascular events over time so the
19:23
crisis is real but it's it's a crisis of everything it's a mental health crisis coronary crisis heart crisis lung crisis
19:31
abdominal crisis you know we are we are the sickest and and the United States in
19:36
particular uh has some of the worst outcomes of all developed uh countries
19:43
uh infant mortality uh is extremely high in the United States uh and all of our
19:48
diseases are higher despite the fact that we spend we outspend everybody like combined you know on on health yeah yeah
19:56
it blows my mind that um medicine and and and doctors who
20:02
obviously trying to do their best I guess in most in some cases that aren't aren't questioned more in regards to how
20:09
unbelievably sick people are and you can just look at the statistics around the world especially in North America that
20:15
you know I think there's only one of two countries that advertises pharmaceutical drugs on the TV and it's quite
20:21
incredible the how sick people still are and how how little we're still
20:26
questioning this model um I don't know if it's if it's crumbling somewhat it seems to be very
20:33
strong and just as you say like C disease being the the number one killer that I wonder if as as a pharmaceutical
20:40
company looking at that list is um like looking at potential customers and
20:46
clients and if they can create something that's going to um I don't want to say
20:51
work something that those individuals that can take and after you get through all the red tape of a pharmaceutical
20:58
then that's that's big profit that's big business and why would you want to
21:03
actually create something to take individuals off that list and take that heart disease from number one to number three to number five to number 10 that
21:10
would seem to be completely against the um the ethos of fuo business well
21:16
there's nothing that they could create and they know that they know that there's nothing that they're going to create uh that is going to lower the
21:24
risk of cardiovascular disease because they don't go after the cause so that's like trying to say that they would
21:29
create a a new food or like they would discover a food that was the key to you know longevity and cardiac longevity
21:35
they're not going to do that uh all they do is create Pharmaceuticals to treat conditions that they create uh and
21:43
that's their business that I mean that's the that's the business model that's how corporations run that's how they make
21:48
profits uh it's very clear I mean I've got you know so many different stories from uh you know my experience with
21:54
pharmaceutical companies uh as a doctor you know just what they would do for us you know I love to tell this story when
22:00
I was in high school my uh my father is a cardiologist he was invited to speak
22:05
in Hawaii for MC Pharmaceuticals so we took a family trip for a week we uh flew
22:12
there my parents flew first class my brother sister and I sat and Coach stayed in a beautiful hotel all the meal
22:18
all the alcohol all the drinks all the excursions were paid for you know boats and and jet skis and all the stuff that
22:26
we did everything was all paid for on this beautiful Hawaiian vacation my
22:31
father spoke for one hour one hour and everything was paid for and I'm sure he
22:37
got an honorarium on top of that so uh you know it's really you know and things
22:42
may not be quite as as obvious as they were but doctors can be bought for the
22:47
price of a pen that's in the medical literature it's extremely unfortunate as as to that you know case but um you know
22:55
it's not and I think more and more people are awaking up to this but Simon as you would imagine when I was a child
23:02
in the 1970s the talk about exercise and eating well and
23:10
natural living like this stuff has been going on for Generations People Like Us
23:16
have been talking about it but yet here we are you know in the in the you know
23:22
early parts of the 21st century the first quarter of the 21st century and
23:27
we're still talking about the same health issues the same concerns so I think as much as things look positive uh
23:34
there's as much uh you know headwind against us and but that being said to the
23:41
individual who's hearing this you know listen uh you know shame on you if you don't take charge of your health because
23:47
there's no one coming to help you there there really is not yeah that's quite a um yeah that's absolutely a very very
23:54
true statement I think that can actually be quite liberating for a lot of people um are there any common drugs that are
24:01
known to like affect heart health I'm sure there are so many unbelievable side effects of so many different drugs I'm
24:07
sure the drugs that are supposed to support heart health actually have some side effects to D that damage the heart as well but are there any like really
24:14
common ones I know I think it's probably like the average amount of medications that North Americans over 40 are taking
24:20
is probably four or five or six I'm not sure well I think in your you know in your Arena you know if I think about
24:27
pharmaceuticals uh from A cardiology standpoint that affect the brain I mean there's clearly many and as you know
24:32
anything could affect anything but if we look at you know drugs like statin drugs those are notorious for affecting brain
24:38
function blood pressure drugs can be the same thing maybe the most famous uh you
24:44
know example here would be beta blockers on how beta blockers kind of they they you things like mopol Atenolol bopol
24:52
they block epinephrine norepinephrine they block adrenaline block our zest for
24:59
living which is why they can lead to uh depressive characteristics they can lead
25:05
to uh fatigue uh you know lethargy uh uh know ltitude or whatever you know just
25:11
not having that kind of zest for life so there's definitely problems uh in that area you know as far as those
25:17
Pharmaceuticals are concerned there's a a lot of other drugs of course that impact the heart the heart health things
25:22
that can raise blood pressure uh that's you know some common things in the brain space uh you know you know just to
25:29
reiterate again these people that have these mental health conditions uh they are at much higher risk of
25:34
cardiovascular disease uh and the answer is not Prozac I in chapter five of my
25:40
book I I called it you know one nation under proac and it's to really highlight
25:46
that all these different mental uh and emotional issues that the answer is not
25:52
Pharmaceuticals the you know there there could be a lot of different answers of what people can do to optimize you know brain health
25:58
but uh you know clearly the Pharmaceuticals are going to you know be a major problem absolutely and when
26:04
you're talking about the average North American taking like four medications there's no there's no research of those
26:11
or studies of those working in combination with each other like absolutely I mean you can question the individual research papers themselves in
26:17
many cases but the fact that you know a doctor is prescribing one drug and then two and then three of them for and if
26:22
you were to ask that that doctor about the um the the effects of those working together inside of the body there would
26:28
be absolutely no answer so it's like a who knows what kind kind of happens it's side effects upon side effects and then
26:34
you know listen the uh would it be too much of a stretch to say that the pharmaceutical companies actually
26:42
control all their research is that like a surprise to anybody I mean it's it's just just a reality yeah I mean it's
26:48
it's just a reality if you look at the end of a paper you can see that again they they have to declare their their um
26:56
you know uh you know biases or affiliation and stuff like that and that's you know often in there and even
27:01
if they don't then you can kind of string it and you know these these people do not get their research grants
27:06
unless they're embedded with Pharmaceuticals it's just the way it's controlled but I love to operate in the school of common sense you know let's
27:11
just eat well Live Well think well live like our ancestors did to the best of our abilities uh you know get that
27:17
adequate sleep Sunshine physical activity eat the right Foods avoid the wrong foods and that's going to be uh
27:23
the strategy what are some of the more common things that you think people kind of like everyday people are doing every
27:29
day that's damaging their heart health like clear things that we know that we could start reducing or even
27:35
eliminating well I mean first off I you know um you know sleep is is a big
27:41
factor so our ancestors went to sleep with the sun down uh you know when it got you know right after it got dark
27:47
they went to bed and then they woke up before the sunrise they watched the sunrise they spent the day in and out of the sun uh they watched the sunset sun
27:54
went down and they went to sleep so when you're not doing that you're violating all of nature's laws and the medical
28:01
literature can explain why that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and other disorders so uh you
28:07
know getting that you know these these circadian rhythms there was actually a recent study that came out that talked
28:13
about the concept of eveningness so people who describe themselves as night
28:18
owls so they got the same amount of sleep as the other people same duration and time of sleep but the they went to
28:26
sleep later they were the night owls and the night owls had double the risk of
28:32
coronary artery calcification so uh we have to get to sleep on time and then the second part
28:38
of that circadian rhythm is that all things in nature everything's outside so all plants all animals are outside and
28:46
we're the only dummies who sit there and have these conversations inside I actually I I often record uh outside and
28:54
I'm working towards doing that even more uh uh you know in in the future and
28:59
spending more time outside in that area but you know the the skin is more than
29:05
just something that we would put you know uh lotion on or cream on and and
29:10
protect the aesthetic the skin is the skin is a solar panel the eyeballs are a solar panel they're built to collect
29:17
light and the more light that we collect natural light the longer we're going to live the more time we spend outside the
29:24
longer we're going to live so those are hopefully just a couple easy strategies from a food standpoint listen uh Seafood
29:31
is the healthiest food in the planet I know where you're up where you live you know again Pacific Northwest you got
29:36
wild salmon you've got clams and oysters and uh you know again all these
29:42
phenomenal sea creatures that are very high in omega-3 fatty acids people with the highest levels of omega-3 fatty
29:48
acids from eating Seafood have the lowest risk of everything they've got the best brain health the best heart
29:54
health anti-cancer longevity immune health everything so you know packing in
30:00
Wild Seafood I think is also super important what do you feel around um
30:05
exercise and I know we've got an audience of different age groups so maybe you could talk to us about like you know people who are maybe in their
30:11
20s 40s 60s 7s Etc because obviously people are going to have certain limitations due to their age well I
30:19
think one of the most important things about exercise is just to start slow right the you know the problem arises
30:25
when people would uh you know I I played High School football 35 years ago and
30:30
then I'm going to go run up this mountain if I haven't done anything in the interum I'm going to be in trouble so you always want to gradually build up
30:36
whatever it may be but my favorite activity you and I touched on this before we can start you know hit the
30:41
record button and that is mountain biking I'm a huge mountain biking fan and there's different levels for
30:47
everybody you know out where you live I mean there's trails that are literally you know like you know they like this
30:52
steep you know going you know going downhill uh that's not you know for everybody of course but uh you know just
30:58
getting onto the road or getting onto a trail uh I I find that that is very
31:04
rewarding but there's so many different physical activities standup paddle boarding kaying hiking uh uh yoga uh
31:12
martial arts uh I mean breath work I mean there there's so many things that people could do uh really at any health
31:19
level uh and maybe one of the best things you know to advise really is just to get involved with someone who's an
31:24
expert yeah you can watch YouTube videos and things like that and you can can work on some things from you know at home you don't have to go to the gym you
31:31
could drop on the floor and do push-ups pull-up squats lunges whatever it may be but also getting professional guidance
31:36
can be helpful yeah I found um a lot of my clients in the in in the past when
31:42
with been my nutrition practice when it comes to movement they've not had a lot a whole lot of confidence to be able to
31:48
go out and do stuff but once they start doing some stuff individually building their strength up and their stamina and
31:53
their confidence then working in like more of a group setting and building a community around the interest that they
31:59
have within that particular exercise or sport or movement then that absolutely works wonders that that communal peace
32:06
uh totally agree totally agree you know Community uh is definitely one of our big part you know tenants inside of our
32:12
think well area and you know over the last four years Community was totally
32:17
destroyed uh and and people suffered you know because of it so finding that sense of community is absolutely critical uh
32:26
and there are a lot of ways to do it whether it's your local bike shop you know Facebook you know groups and meetups or maybe it's a church you know
32:32
group that people would get into synagogue you know religious faith-based you know groups uh but um you know you
32:39
know there's definitely a lot of those you know opportunities and doing things in a group is always better it's always
32:44
better it's communal it's the way that our ancestors lived in communities in small tribes uh one person supporting
32:53
another and I think again it helps you find like-minded people which uh is is
32:59
you know more important than ever I'd love to ask you about just come come onto the top of my head just right
33:05
now in regards like because I see um there's there's a couple of schools close by and I and I see the the younger
33:12
teenagers walking by constantly and these like stimulant Monster drinks and
33:17
these these energy drinks that seem to be in like the most I mean you don't get these portion sizes in in the UK where
33:23
I'm from but these massive cans um can you talk to us a little bit about
33:29
younger people like I see 13 year olds consuming these these drinks and they're obviously their bodies are developing um
33:36
the nervous system is developing the actual physical structure of their heart is developing is there any research or have you got got any experience in
33:42
regards like what those incredibly stimulating drinks with obviously sugar and caffeine can do to like a younger
33:50
body yeah you know I I don't want to throw all those drinks under the bus uh
33:55
although I easily could but I think there's clearly products that are very bad and then there's products that are
34:02
probably bad and then there's other products that are like n it's probably not that big of a deal you know
34:08
especially once in a while so uh you know there are ones of course that have artificial colors artificial flavors uh
34:15
those are absolutely poison that's very clear in the medical literature uh there's uh more and more data coming out
34:22
about uh sweeteners like ariol and Xylitol being problematic so I would
34:27
definitely avoid those uh if you're going to tell me about an organic product for example that's got organic
34:34
uh cane sugar or maybe sweetened with organic fruit ju juice and maybe it's
34:40
got some amino acids in there it's got some extra vitamins in there it's got purified water in there it's in a A can
34:49
or a glass bottle and not plastic plastic is absolute poison I would never
34:54
never never uh you know recommend consuming anything with plastic is really plastic is for emergencies the
35:00
literature that on that is very clear as well especially for the young developing person and hormonal and endocrine you
35:06
know effects uh of that and then the caffeine aspect uh the literature and
35:12
caffeine is kind of mixed I I don't encourage children to drink caffeine I don't encourage necessarily anybody to
35:17
drink caffeine but as it relates to co you know adults and coffee it turns out actually there's a lot of different
35:23
cardiovascular benefits and brain benefits and Longevity benefits and anti-cancer benefits uh in most of the
35:30
literature about coffee drinkers especially uh when it's done organically so when you do an organic product test
35:36
it for glyphosate for example test it for mold mot toxins that's all super important but I mean to your point I
35:43
mean some of these these beverages that the kids are I mean I mean the majority of children uh they're sitting there on
35:50
Tech uh they're drinking and eating poison H they're staying up late they
35:56
don't get sunshine they're they're done they're done they're they're not going
36:01
to make it they're not going to have the fulfill you know fulfilled life that
36:06
they deserve and that they should have been born into and it's radically
36:12
important for us to to um you know do something about it you know wake you
36:17
know wake up the parents I mean it's just it's just everywhere it's just it's a problem yeah I mean it's certainly got to go through the parents I mean I'm not
36:23
expecting the manufacturers of these drinks or the regulatory bodies of these drinks or the health the health
36:29
government agencies are going to do anything about it obviously it's it's it's that's about money and access but
36:35
yeah I think a lot of responsibility comes on to the parents in regards like what your what your child is consuming
36:42
what they actually feel driven to to wanting to consume like why would you why would your child need to have
36:48
something like that at 9:00 in the morning you know like yeah like how have they slept like how have they eaten beforehand so those things are very key
36:55
aspects when it comes to you consuming something something like that so yeah I really appreciate your opinions on that and I think yeah there's certainly a
37:01
place for let's say there's plenty of teas like you have a mate that's got a caffeine and and good quality coffee um
37:08
I just think that the young like 13 14 15 year olds you know like their bodies have yet to develop the the full uh
37:15
capacity to be able to deal with these very strong chemicals um especially in
37:21
in in a day where you know they might be going to school and doing activities Etc but yeah that's that's another big big
37:27
topic but um yeah well I mean maybe in the future we could do another episode about what it means to be a lousy
37:33
parent we'll talk about perect that might be a series of that might be a series of that would that would be that
37:39
would be a series fantastic um I'd love to talk to you about medical freedom and what that
37:45
means what does that mean to you oh yeah I mean medical Freedom means everything you know so I I spoke at events you know
37:52
like Freedom Fest you know over the years and uh uh it's it's it's now more
37:57
important than ever like we need we need freedom of speech to be able to discuss
38:03
these issues we need Freedom of Information in order to research these issues we need Freedom of Choice when it
38:10
comes to our health care that's that's just our our given right uh and then of
38:16
course you know we need uh you know the to encourage the freedom of discussion
38:22
like we are now like we should encourage you know debates about these different things you know you think one way I
38:28
think another let's try and talk it out uh and at the end we may you know agree
38:34
to disagree uh and you know and and we live with those consequences but you
38:40
know ultimately listen if you want to inject something in your body if you want to swallow something into your body
38:46
or into your children I think it's child abuse but I I have to go along the freedom line and say hey if you want to
38:53
do that you know to you and yours then I have to distance myself from that uh and
39:00
and and I'll and I'll take care of mine and that's all there is to it uh the government should have no role in in in
39:06
health care whatsoever everything that they've ever done or recommended has been wrong and uh you know again we we
39:14
should always have the platform to be able to to discuss these issues yeah I think if you've not recognized over the
39:20
past four or five years that the government does not have our health as its best interest then then I you've
39:26
obviously not been listening to the many many individuals that thankfully have a platform to be
39:33
able to share these types of informations and have unbelievable conversations that we wouldn't have been able to have 10 years ago you know the
39:40
the platform of podcasting is is absolutely Revol revolutionize the the access to information to esteemed
39:48
individuals you know like I can only imagine if I went to University now and I wanted to study about like neuroscience and health and all these
39:54
things I I could just listen to these individuals people's podcasts and learn so much more than I ever could at a
40:00
university so we are in a quite special space for that and just on that topic I'd love to get some recommendations
40:06
from you in regards to podcasts speakers and then you've got your your own book
40:12
out there like just to learn P specifically around like um uh heart
40:18
health yeah you know I'll definitely to my own horn and say that I believe I'm the best for you know for cardiovascular
40:25
diseases I believe that I'm the best at cause medicine so anything that I would say would extrapolate into the brain
40:31
realm into the uh cancer realm into the immune support realm longevity realm a
40:37
lot of different opinions are out there I just I also tell people to just like trust like common sense if you hear something that you know it doesn't jive
40:44
or it's you know you know again just some something that just doesn't seem right or too good to be true you know
40:50
think about it uh our our concept our 100e heart method is eat well Live Well think well test don't guess so do the
40:56
most advanced Tes in the world uh to look at you know blood urine stool uh saliva so many different things that we
41:02
can do use non-invasive non-radiation based testing and then evidence-based
41:08
supplements you know you guys have great products evidence-based supplements that get the job done but the supplements
41:13
supplement they eat well Live Well think well and then the last category would be biohacking strategies so sauna red light
41:22
IV Therapy methylene blue ozone I mean you can go on and on and on just truly
41:28
you know I spoke at uh the American Academy of anti-aging in Las Vegas uh in December and there there's there's five
41:35
600 700 booths there of people talking about anti-aging uh and Longevity
41:41
products and you know my wife my wife's company's called wild mamas mine is natural heart doctor and we've got some
41:47
bison organ uh in a capsule encapsulated products and as people would come up and
41:52
I'm like there's no better and more important thing in this entire room than
42:00
these foundational food products like there's nothing better there's no there's no
42:05
biohack that will do better than the foundational stuff and if you do all the
42:11
foundational stuff you may not need all the the tech yeah but the tech is there and available to you uh and that's how
42:19
you know we would you know roll with that you know as far as like other podcasters and people who I listen to I
42:26
Really listen I tend to you know reach uh you know into the into the basic uh you know you know sciences and just kind
42:33
of do the original you know research myself I will credit you know someone and and no one's perfect right so you
42:39
have to listen to various authorities and then decide what makes sense and
42:44
what and take and try and extract the best from everybody you know be a little bit critical about what everybody says
42:52
especially when it kind of goes against this ancestral way of living you know
42:58
Simon let me let me say one more thing too it's it because it goes back to like this family history and genetics type
43:04
thing there was a movie years ago called castaway with the actor Tom Hanks and
43:09
Tom Hanks winds up on the remote island with the volleyball Wilson after a plane
43:15
crash so on the island he he
43:22
eats coconuts and seafood and avocados right he goes to sleep when it just
43:28
after it gets dark he awakes before the sunrise he watches the sunrise he spends the whole day in and out of the sun he's
43:34
Physically Active there's no chemicals you know in that Island as much as there's I the whole planet's destroyed
43:40
and polluted but um you know the island you would say is probably as pristine as you're going to get the only thing he
43:46
suffers from he's lonely and that's social isolation that's obviously very devastating but my my point is no matter
43:52
what your genetics are if you're on the island where Tom Hanks was and you're there with your tribe aside from trauma
43:59
you live forever there's no cancer there's no brain disease there's no heart disease you live forever on that
44:05
island that's that's how we're built and we're perfect so um anyone who would say
44:13
anything contrary to that I guess you know I don't know that's uh that's what
44:18
I would say but otherwise yeah I don't really listen to too many too many other you know uh authorities I've listened to
44:24
people over the years but it's really just kind of sensical you know stuff um
44:29
that's what I do yeah the foundational stuff doesn't really change and I think it's really important for people to become a little bit more aware of the
44:36
foundational pieces when it does comes to food and nutrition and their digestive system and their nervous system and become empowered a little bit
44:42
more in regards to how those things actually work and how the external World affects those um and I think a lot a lot
44:49
of people will become a lot more empowered very quickly and recognize what they can do and what they what they
44:55
should avoid that's going to benefit their health I remember um when I first started practicing for some reason I the
45:01
most people I was seeing were like 50 50y old women and they dealt with the
45:07
conventional model for decades and decades and done drug after drug and my
45:13
initial session was nearly two hours long of like it's very long intake form of conversation you know and and these
45:19
individuals afterwards I'd ask them you know how they felt the session went and they've never really ever been listened
45:26
to in their lives for two hours when I was asking good questions and just
45:31
sitting there listening holding space and and being with them that the whole process and they would have they
45:37
probably have hundreds of doctor's appointments of like you know maybe eight minutes to 10 minutes where there
45:43
was it wasn't it wasn't a two-way conversation it certainly wasn't in in benefit towards them doing most of the
45:48
talking and they just found so much relief that somebody would actually listen to them and take their kind of whole story into
45:55
consideration and yeah I found that to be a very profound piece of information and once I kind of opened that door and
46:02
created that practitioner Alliance they were so um excited and motivated to
46:09
learn more about themselves and their bodies and and what it meant to be like a human being and to be a thriving one
46:15
at that so yeah I think learning those foundational pieces is unbelievably available to you you just need to find
46:21
the motivation to be able to to do that yeah you know most certainly and you
46:26
know i i as you were as you were talking too I was also thinking about um other
46:32
information that I would tell people to go after as opposed to you know health related stuff I the stuff that I listen
46:37
to it has to do with uh with the money in the banking system it has to do with inflation has to do with you know
46:44
currency Wars and crises um I think that's one thing and I think also is that uh kind of like you
46:50
know preparing for what's next and there's always something that's next history tells us right that there is you
46:56
know again there's you know this and this and this and this and this and this and there's always something that's next
47:02
so where do you want to be when the next thing hits and and how prepared you want to be so I can't name like any
47:08
particular prepper shows and stuff like that but the key really is to prep like have have food on hand have water on
47:15
hand uh be secure in your shelter be you know secure in your
47:20
protection uh you know I mean listen I mean I guess if for example you know back from my childhood right if there
47:26
was some kind of you know Global you know nuclear war like everybody's going
47:32
to die you know I mean and you know sooner than later but if there's a
47:37
problem with the power grid you know for example if there's a Cyber attack which the Obama's just made a movie called
47:45
Leave the World Behind which is about the Cyber attack they just told us the
47:51
Obamas the you know former president and former first lady they come they they produce this movie
47:57
so you know Cyber attack power currency crisis and then of course you know some
48:03
kind of health related uh tactic that they would you know pull on on the world again so uh you know do do you want to
48:10
be prepared because uh you know you may not be able to survive the zombie apocalypse you know for you know for
48:16
years but can you get you know through maybe the first you know couple weeks of some kind of Mega shock uh and uh you
48:25
know listen I don't want to sound sound you know fearful uh or or conspiratorial
48:32
but you know again hope for the best uh prepare for the worst and really things can go sideways within minutes sure
48:40
within minutes and consider yourself warned if you don't know this already
48:46
yeah I agree with you I think that preparation piece is huge and I think actually preparing your nervous system to be able to deal with a complete wild
48:53
shock is a very important piece as well like the last thing you want to do is be freaking out and panicking it's not
48:58
going to serve anybody especially you or your family so yeah good advice I appreciate that um we're just going to
49:04
finish up here we've certainly spoken about some things that people can do can do right now but if we can just talk
49:10
about a few key things so the question we asked at the top of the show is what are the key precautionary steps you know
49:16
people can take to improve their heart health today can you give us a couple of like key ones I I mean first thing and
49:22
it's totally free right get outside get outside more often just focus on spending time outside every single day
49:29
no matter what the weather is bundle up on the clothing I used to uh you know road bike with a a place out of Chicago
49:36
and the motto there where there's no such thing as bad weather just bad clothes and the weather was pretty lousy
49:42
so you got to come up with a good clothes so spend more time outside go to sleep a little bit earlier eat more
49:48
Seafood focus on your relationships uh avoid environmental toxins and pollutants of which there are
49:54
hundreds of thousands of them and maybe the final thing I'll say is make sure that the home you are living in does not
50:02
have water damage mold Andor bacterial growth you want to make sure that you
50:09
are not living in a home that is a sick home it's talked about in the Bible 3500
50:14
years ago in The Book of Leviticus by Moses uh you by Moses chapter 14 uh the
50:19
problems with mold and now the situation is infinitely worse for many many many reasons so if you're sick if you've got
50:26
brain fog if you've got any kind of mental health concerns cardiovascular concerns check your home for water
50:34
damaged mold and bacteria beautifully said fantastic that's incredible advice Dr Jack thank

51:07
busy and engaged with them we unschool our children uh and we just we just have fun
51:13
we play it's the greatest thing in the entire world I spent the 31 years of my life uh in a classroom under the
51:20
artificial lights and it got me to where I am now and you know again so if you want to be a brain surgeon you know
51:25
that's the path you're going to have to take but uh again really focus on outdoor living and really doing the
51:31
stuff that truly truly truly matters amazing well thank you so much for joining us today Dr Jack I really
