Time Text
All right, welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News 4, Thursday, September 4th, 2025.
I'm Mike Adams and I can't wait for winter to arrive so I can heat my office with GPUs.
Yes, right now I'm having to run a lot of air conditioning to compensate because I'm producing so much heat with all of the data pipeline processing for our AI engine, Enoch, which is, of course, free of charge, non-commercial, ready to use right now, answering all your questions about nutrition, health, wellness, survival preparedness, off-grid living, home gardening, food preservation, how to make your own medicines, emergency first aid, like all these important topics.
Plus history, economics, honest money, gold and silver, you name it, free of charge.
Go use it now, Brighteon.ai.
It will write articles for you.
It will summarize science papers.
It will expand your thoughts.
It will translate into different languages.
And it'll do much, much, much more all free.
But it's not a search engine.
So don't use it as a search engine.
Some people have typed in like, tell me what's the URL of a video on Brighteon that talks about this.
Yeah, that's a job for a search engine, not an AI text completion engine.
So they have totally different roles.
So just keep that separate in your mind.
Also want to mention that Enoch is getting better all the time.
So what we're going to be releasing this year is a much vastly improved Enoch, both in the web browser version, which is at Briteon.ai, and then also the standalone downloadable version, which is, again, very close.
Actually, some of the issues on that are just some code and driver and GPU incompatibility issues at the server level that are just inhibiting the final training steps of it, which is a little bit frustrating, but we'll solve that shortly.
The good news is we already have the data pipeline and we'll have brand new versions for you.
All right.
So, and that's all going to be free.
It's going to be open source.
You'll be able to download it, use it unlimited, and we'll keep rolling out new models very frequently, actually, as our data pipeline continues to expand.
I also, my goodness, I really had to upgrade some of the storage devices, the NAS, like network-attached storage that we're using just for data pipeline stuff, not for model training or inference, but just the storage devices.
I had to go all solid state.
The hard drives were too slow, spinning, just head-seek time and latency of the disk platter spin.
I don't know if you know this, but even if they spin at 7,200 RPMs, which is pretty typical today, hard drives have latency because of two things.
Number one, the head has to move to the correct, let's say, track around, you know, it's a circular track that orbits the entire center of the hard drive.
And then you have to also wait for the beginning bytes to circle around to get to the head.
So, you know, there's rotational latency and then there's head-seek latency.
And when you're dealing with, I don't know, I'm dealing with maybe a billion small files, like literally, it might be a billion.
I don't know how many it is.
When you're dealing with a bunch of files, that latency drives you bonkers.
Like just a couple of days ago, I was trying to move this one library from this one storage device to another.
And I was using a command line file copy.
I'm using 10 gig network switches and 10 gig NICs and everything, which is freaking fast.
And it told me that that copy was going to take 55 days.
And I said, no, that's not acceptable.
I can't tell my audience to wait 55 days for these files to copy over.
That's just one library.
And so I'm like, that's crazy.
We just got to buy solid-state devices.
I'm tired of waiting for hard drive spins and head-seqs.
So we bit the bullet.
Thanks to your support, we had some good sales over the Labor Day weekend.
Thank you for purchasing products from us at the HealthRanger store.
And as a result, we just laid out some big bucks for some solid-state storage that's going to take that 55 days and compress it down to like two days.
So that is, once I get it off the hard drives, then it'll only take two days.
And the write speeds are so much faster on solid-state storage.
You get like, what is it, 7,200 megabytes a second?
No, or is it megabits?
I don't know, but it's fast.
No, it's megabytes.
7,200 megabytes a second read, and the write speed is 60, I think 6,600 megabytes per second.
I mean, can you imagine writing six-plus gigabytes per second?
Oh, my God.
I don't even think the network can support that.
Anyway, those are the kinds of real-world challenges that I'm dealing with.
And fortunately, some solid-state devices became a lot less expensive over the last few months.
And since I'm not working off of government money or VC money or big tech money, nobody's showing up at my door like, here's a billion dollars.
Build something awesome for humanity.
No, I've got to fund it with your help.
You know, yes, we're building something awesome for humanity, but nobody is willing to support us financially, obviously.
Actually, I don't want to be beholden to government money.
You know what I mean?
I'd rather do it this way, organically, with your help.
But we are building something that's revolutionary for humankind in terms of knowledge and health and helping to end human suffering, et cetera.
And it costs a lot of money.
And that's just where we're putting the money, you know?
So thank you, again, for your support.
It's also worth mentioning today I'm going to have a special report for you here that restates my core mission statement.
Like, what are we trying to do here?
What am I all about?
And how has that shifted?
It's actually expanded.
And, you know, we're working on big projects like moonshot-level projects to radically enhance the quality of life of human beings.
And I want to share that vision with you because it has been updated, and that'll be in today's broadcast.
On top of that, I've got a really great interview for you with Dr. Habib and Sean Cohen, who have created an incredible new Brighton University free docu-series course about holistic weight and stress management.
Yeah, real solutions to dealing with stress and dealing with too much weight.
Wouldn't it be nice to find easier ways to lose excess weight and also lose excess stress at the same time?
Well, we've got a way that we're going to share with you in today's interview and in the course.
It doesn't require, like, crazy sacrifice or crazy discipline.
It doesn't require suffering.
It doesn't require radical things, you know, like surgery or toxic injectable drugs or whatever.
It's something much, much simpler.
And in today's interview, we cover that in great detail.
And I think you'll really love today's interview.
I've also come to just really enjoy getting to meet Dr. Habib, who practices medicine in – I think it's in London, actually.
I think he was joining us from London.
And he's just an extraordinary man.
I love his knowledge.
I love his compassion for humanity.
And he's a partner with Sean Cohen, who is the author of the book The Dopamine Revolution, who I've interviewed before.
And they also developed their gum, Next Level Gum, which is a dopamine-releasing gum that we carry at healthrangerrestore.com.
If we don't carry it right now, maybe it's sold out or waiting on the next shipment.
But anyway, we routinely carry it.
It's a new gum, so it might just be coming into stock.
I don't know.
I'll have to check later.
But anyway, Dr. Habib is a really wonderful person to talk with.
I think you'll really enjoy that interview.
So definitely stay tuned for that.
In terms of covering news today, I'm not going to hit a lot of headlines.
But I think one of the most important headlines to cover here is that at the SCO Summit – now remember, SCO stands for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
And that's a name that you need to know – well, I'm sorry, Americans pronounce it Shanghai, but in Chinese it's Shanghai.
Hi.
That's good.
that's why i like automatically pronounce it that way but uh shanghai cooperation organization sco and you know that that's where russia and india and china and a lot of other nations recently got together uh this was the i i think this was the 25th meeting of the sco And at that meeting,
which of course did not involve the United States or the UK or France or Germany or Western nations, at that meeting, there were some major, major deals signed between China and Russia.
Now, the most significant of those deals I covered yesterday, which is the new pipeline that will carry billion, 50 billion cubic meters of gas.
each year from the Yamal gas fields in northwest Russia all the way to northern China, cutting through Mongolia and also delivering some gas to Mongolia.
But mostly the gas is for northern China where there's strong industry, data centers, AI, robotic production, etc.
They're going to get dirt cheap Russian gas.
And when I say dirt cheap, what I mean is it's still high quality gas.
I mean, it's Russian quality, but it's dirt cheap pricing because, well, Russia and China are kind of pals now.
You know, they're cozying up.
And it was, in fact, the Joe Biden era policies of the United States that drove Russia directly into the embrace of China.
And now it's Trump's policies that are driving India into the embrace of China.
So because of Biden and now because of Trump, I mean, think about it.
You've got China, Russia, and India now are like the, you know, the three musketeers of the new economy, the new world, the new industry.
And China and India have the two largest populations of human beings on planet Earth.
Each of those countries is roughly around, what, 1.4 billion people, you know, each, each.
So you combine China and India, you got about 2.8 billion people, which is like 40-something percent of the entire world population.
Think about that.
Wait, is that right?
I guess what are we saying the world population is now?
Like 8 billion, 7?
No, 8 billion, I think, is the rough number.
Okay.
Anyway, it's a big number.
Now, that gas pipeline will be very difficult for the West to destroy, unlike Nordstream, which the U.S. Navy blew up to deprive Western Europe of Russian gas and to try to hurt Gazprom and to try to hurt Russia's economy.
So it turns out it didn't hurt Russia.
Russia just found new friends to buy energy because everybody needs energy.
And in this race to AI data centers, the United States, you know, is pissing off all the energy producers in the world.
Good thing the U.S. has its own energy, right?
But China's just turning to Russia and say, sell us gas, and then we'll use that to power our data centers.
You see?
China is going to have really cheap electricity.
I'm talking like under 10 cents a kilowatt hour.
While in the United States, did you know in some places on the East Coast, that's 30 cents a kilowatt hour.
And in Hawaii, it's even higher.
Even in California, some places is like 25 or 30 cents.
So how are you going to compete with China when China's got cheap Russian energy?
So that's number one.
In addition to that, they signed all kinds of deals and agreements in aviation, in artificial intelligence, agriculture, education, scientific research, healthcare, all kinds of things, medical technology, telecom technology.
Okay.
So you talk about cooperation between Russia and China.
This is now the highest level of cooperation in history.
And it's not that China and Russia don't have some competing interest because they do.
And they've had disputes throughout history, especially involving territory, you know, border disputes.
And same thing, China and India have had border disputes even recently.
But guess what?
All of that becomes irrelevant when the United States is the big bully in the world and running around the world, tariffing everybody and sanctioning everybody and punishing everybody and bombing or threatening to bomb everybody and carrying out assassinations and color revolutions and rigged elections.
You know, those little territory disputes don't mean anything compared to their common enemy, which is the United States.
Their common enemy is, frankly, it's the U.S. Empire the way Trump is running it, being the world's bully saying, hey, India, we don't like the fact that you're doing business with Russia.
We're going to slap a 50% tariff on everything that you export to the United States, which just went into effect, of course, like 10 days ago or whatever.
So what does India do?
India does not bow down to America as Trump wanted because Trump is still living in the 1980s.
He thinks that America, like everybody has to bow down to America.
That's no longer the case.
The century of American dominance is done.
I mean, was it a century?
Less than a century.
Let's say post-World War II.
It's over.
Let's see, 80 years.
Okay, eight-tenths of a century.
In response to those threats, India said, You know what?
We're just going to buy more energy from Russia, and we're just going to buy more stuff from China, and we're going to sell more stuff to China and Russia because they're closer anyway.
Right next door.
So, boy, Trump and Besent and who else?
Lutnik, they must be really frustrated that they can't just bully their way around the whole world and make everybody do what you want, just force them and punish them.
Yeah, that's not going to work any longer.
Those days are over.
And this SCO summit or meeting just proved it big time.
And China's president Xi, he said at this summit, he said, quote, global governance has reached a new crossroads.
We must continue to take a clear stand against hegemonism, which is, you know, U.S. dominant power, and power politics and practice true multilateralism.
What is multilateralism?
Well, basically, it's multipolarism.
It means there are multiple countries with different interests in the world that each have the right to exist and each have the right to engage in trade and each have the right to protect their own self-interest.
That's multilateralism.
That's what China supports.
That is not what Trump supports.
Russia supports multilateralism.
European nations do not.
I mean, Western Europe.
The UK, France, Germany, etc., they don't support multilateralism.
They support the total destruction of Russia.
And of course, France is now gearing up for World War III, warning their hospitals to be ready for mass casualties by early next year.
Yeah, that's probably because France is going to try to start a nuclear war with Russia, and it's going to go badly for France.
Seriously, it's going to go badly for the UK, badly for Germany.
And what is it about the German leaders throughout history where they just are incapable of learning the lessons that they need to learn?
You know, when Adolf Hitler tried to conquer Russia in order to pillage its resources and specifically its oil fields, and ultimately gas fields is where that would have gone.
Well, he was defeated by the Russians.
The Russians did more damage to the Third Reich than any of the Western nations, including the United States.
Frankly, Trump should be thanking Putin for the old Soviet Union's role in defeating fascism and Nazism in Germany.
The problem is that the German leaders, they never learned that lesson.
And now they think they want to go to war with Russia again.
I don't know.
It's just like that little Adolf gene is getting activated again in the German leadership, like Mertz.
It's an Adolf tendency.
It's like a little Adolf voice in his head.
You know, whatever.
He's like, you've got to attack Russia.
I don't speak German, obviously.
I'm just making fun of Adolf here.
But Russia's like, what's going wrong with you?
Did the inner Adolf get loose again?
Are we going to have to teach you another lesson?
And the answer is yes.
Russia is going to have to teach Germany another lesson.
Fortunately, for Russia, they have Russian missile systems that now have the Reschnik Miesel systems.
And they are very, very good at destroying Germany if necessary.
Well, we don't have anything against the German people.
I do want to be clear.
I love the German people.
It's the German leadership that have all lost their minds once again because of the Adolf gene being expressed.
Same thing with the UK.
All these European nations.
I've said it before.
I love the people of Europe, especially those who listen to my podcast, because, you know, you're freedom-minded people, and you put up with us yanks here in America and all our weird gun stories and whatever.
That's fun.
But what's wrong with the leadership of Britain?
Like, is there an inbreeding genetic defect that goes back a number of generations in the royalty or something?
Were they all doinking each other and having inbred genetic mutations that cause them to be, I don't know, kind of retarded and also evil and have weird desires for weird perversions and things.
I'm just guessing.
I don't know, but there's something wrong with British leadership.
That's for sure.
And there's also something very wrong with German leadership.
So this time, if Germany insists on attacking Russia again, because they didn't learn from history, didn't even learn from Napoleon either.
Macron should at least be familiar, you would think, with Napoleon.
I mean, do any of these European leaders know the history of their own countries?
No, they don't.
All they think is, you know, let's pillage Russia.
Russia's got energy.
Let's just take it.
Let's destroy the Russian people and steal their loot.
And that's just not going to fly.
In fact, it's probably going to spell the end of Western Europe.
And I think that if this goes kinetic this time, I have a feeling that Putin is just going to finish the job in Germany this time.
And by that, what I mean when I say finish the job, that would mean the total destruction and extinction of Germany as a nation, which is not what Russia is looking to do.
Russia's not out to conquer Western Europe.
But if the Western European leaders try to start World War III with Russia, it's going to become their self-fulfilling worst fear.
You know, they keep saying, well, Russia is going to try to defeat us.
So therefore, we have to go to war with Russia.
Well, if you go to war with Russia, then Russia will be forced to defeat you.
But if you would just stop the insanity and just trade with Russia and make peace and rebuild Nord Stream and buy gas from Russia and apologize for all the years of decades of total insanity of trying to pillage Russia, you could do business with Russia like India is or like China is.
Russia can be reasonable.
They just did a deal with China.
Hey, we sell you gas, you give us money.
Not dollars, of course, but like rubles or yuan or whatever.
Gold.
Gas for gold.
You know, that sounds like a good deal, doesn't it?
Especially given gold prices.
Have you seen gold like $3,540?
Did you see silver went over $41?
Yeah, $41, not a typo.
I didn't say $31.
I said $41.
Silver is skyrocketing.
For those of you who purchase gold and silver, you're going to be very happy as it performs exactly as we predicted in preserving your assets.
But just wrapping up with China and Russia and Western Europe and all of that, look, the future of planet Earth, well, let me put it this way.
When future historians write the chapter about the rise and fall of Western civilization, it will be a very interesting chapter covering a couple of centuries.
Maybe three centuries if you include the British.
And it'll be ultimately just a flash in the pan.
It'll be, wow, Western civilization rose up and then it had this industrial age and then this technological age and then they all became woke morons and they became arrogant and they all got fat and lazy and then they committed suicide.
And then life went on for the other empires that have existed for thousands of years, China, Russia, India, Persia.
They were here long before Western civilization.
Western civilization is collapsing and it has no reasonable path to sustainable existence right now on the current trajectory.
Trump's not doing us any favors actually by making more enemies around the world.
Western civilization is largely run by leaders who are woke and retarded, incompetent, illiterate about economics.
They have no morals, no values.
They don't value the lives of their own citizens.
They don't value freedom, liberty, privacy.
They don't value democracy.
They claim they do, but they don't.
And they just want to support the corporations that poison the people with pesticides, herbicides, processed junk foods, vaccines, and pharmaceuticals.
That's not sustainable, it turns out.
Oh, and also don't forget about the transgender child mutilation surgeries, which is a favorite of the Western nations.
So as China, India, Iran, Russia, Brazil, they're having babies.
They've got families.
They're raising kids.
Western civilization is like, let's mutilate the kids, teach them to be mutilated when they're not trafficking the kids, you know.
So the whole path of Western civilization is absolutely not sustainable.
So things are not looking good for Western civilization.
The dollar is dying, which is obviously reflected in the skyrocketing price of gold and silver.
The education system in America is largely dead, completely dysfunctional.
You know, the government is largely completely dysfunctional, no matter who's running it.
You still have the deep state bureaucracy and all the agencies that are mostly focused on running terrorist operations against the American people.
I mean, it's truly insane what these agencies do.
You've got a broken agricultural system because of the destruction of soils through repeated applications of glyphosate and pesticides and various herbicides.
You've got destruction and collapse of pollinators.
You've got the depletion of water aquifers to even conduct agriculture.
It's about a 20-year timeline before major water aquifers are just gone all throughout the Midwest.
Even the breadbasket areas of America, like the Ogallala water aquifer.
Just about toast, folks.
You've got runaway crime and just mass idiocy, lack of skills, lack of work ethic, lack of education, lack of literacy.
You've got kids graduating from high school that can't read, can't write, can't do math, can't do anything requiring cognition.
They've got nothing to contribute to society, especially in the age of AI robots and AI cognition.
So of course, the plan is underway to exterminate them.
The government's, even our own government is involved in massive depopulation agendas to exterminate the American people and make way for the data centers and the machines.
And I've covered this extensively.
But I don't think that the machines are going to save America.
You know, yeah, for lots of reasons.
And we don't have the power.
We don't have the infrastructure.
We don't have the rare earths.
We don't have the military any longer.
We don't have the naval forces for long.
You know, our navy is obsolete.
We don't have the most advanced nuclear weaponry.
And we really, we're not going to have the most advanced AI.
I mean, maybe right now you could argue that we do in certain companies, but China is going to surpass us in no time.
Even right now, the entire Western financial system is in its last chapter.
It may still limp along for a few years, but you do realize that the SWIFT system, for example, was originally constructed in the 19 was it, the 60s or the 70s?
I think it was the 60s.
I don't know.
It's ancient.
It's insanely slow.
Can you imagine sending money, you know, wiring money, and it takes days to arrive, even though we have fiber optics all over the world?
How can it take days when information travels at the speed of light?
You know, the answer is that it's an old, broke down, horrible, obsolete system.
And the BRICS nations are working on new systems that are about to be rolled out that happen in seconds, okay?
Seconds, not days, and then you got to pay $25 plus $15 on the receiving side.
And then if it's international, it's another $25.
And then sometimes they get it, sometimes they didn't get it, and then it's lost, and then you got to trace it.
It's like, oh my God, your banking system.
It works like the trains in India.
It's insane.
Somebody modernized this thing.
But that's what we're all living under.
However, Chinese technology, Russian technology, even Indian technology, all vastly superior.
It's going to be a super fast financial settlement system, again, in seconds For the modern world, where you need things to happen in seconds, not days.
So, you know, nobody's going to use, I mean, they call it Swift.
It's not Swift.
It's like slow.
It's, it should be called the turtle financial system.
It's the slowest thing imaginable.
It's almost like Pony Express.
It's almost like they put a memo on a ship and sail it across the Atlantic to London, open up the letter, and then they credit you.
You know, it's that bad.
All right.
Anyway, enough on that.
Let me tell you how I used AI today.
I posted something about this not long ago saying that if you're still using search engines, you're doing it wrong.
Shouldn't use search engines.
You should use AI to ask for web searches and to go through the results.
Now, in this particular case, that is web search enabled AI.
I'm not talking about Enoch because Enoch doesn't do web searches.
That's not one of its features at the moment.
But there are other companies like Perplexity and Anthropic that have deep web searches.
So if you go to one of those companies and you use their product, you can put in a query.
You can say, do a deep web search on the following thing and find the results for me.
So I'm doing a little bit of forestry work on my ranch with my John Deere skid steer.
You know, the one where the whole left side broke off when it was brand new.
I already told you about that.
Anyway, they fixed it under warranty, so it's working now.
It's like so bizarre to have the entire track and the sprocket just break off and all the hydraulic fluid just spill out all over the forest floor.
And you're like, this thing doesn't even have 100 hours on it.
What happened?
Turns out that in the John Deere factory, somebody forgot to tighten the 24 bolts that keep the sprocket attached to the drivetrain.
You know, it's like, oh, okay.
So that's John Deere quality made in America.
Yes.
Anyway, they fixed it.
So I was about to use this tree shear.
This is an implement that I have.
It's a hydraulic tree shear.
It's like a giant pair of scissors that sticks out from the front of your skid steer.
And you drive up to a tree and you scissor it, right?
And with some planning, you make sure it doesn't fall on you and your vehicle.
Anyway, this tree shear has a connector.
This is a special connector that attaches to this other special connector on the skid steer.
And then when you press a button, you can rotate the shear.
Like you can make it vertical or horizontal or anywhere in between.
It's got the full rotation.
Well, I hadn't used this tree shear for a couple of years.
So I picked it up off the ground and I'm like, oh boy, yeah, that cable is gone.
Like something, probably some field rat, something came in and ate the end of the cable, you know, like disconnected it and it's gone.
I've got two wires.
And that's not going to work.
I need to connect this.
So I asked AI, I think I use Anthropic for this.
I said, look, search the web and I want you to find out what's the name of this connector that attaches.
It's got two wires and it attaches to the John Deere skid steer.
I don't even know what it's called, but it's designed to allow you to rotate the axis of a tree shear.
I gave it the tree shear name and everything.
I said, just like, go find this thing.
Tell me what it is and tell me where I can buy it.
And I hit go, you know, and it didn't even take very long.
It comes back.
It's doing AI analysis of all the search results and it comes back.
It's like, okay, here's three places that carry that.
And it's called a 14-pin Deutsch connector.
Oh, well, I didn't know that.
Okay, it's a Deutsch connector.
So yeah, you need a 14-pin Deutsch connector and then you need an adapter from two wires, a two-pin to a 14-pin Deutsch connector.
And here's where you can get it.
You see what I mean?
Like that just saves you all kinds of time.
Whereas before, you know, you would try to search for it yourself and you'd be plugging away through all these web pages like, what am I looking for?
You know, try to find it.
You'd spend an hour on that.
Now I spend a minute.
Basically, I just write the prompt and let it go to work itself.
And it finds this for me.
And then I go place an order and, you know, I get the Deutsch connector.
And then I can rotate the tree shear.
And in case you're wondering, why am I shearing certain trees?
That's called forestry management, by the way.
In order to protect the good trees, which are live oaks around here, sometimes you need to cut off sort of the junk trees.
And sometimes trees are in the way of the good trees, like robbing their sunlight.
So I might cut out some willows that are also using too much water because we're in a drought right now.
I might cut some willows, or I might cut some mesquites out of the way because, well, they drop thorns everywhere and it causes flat tires on my trike when I'm out exercising.
I get these, I get so many flat tires.
It's insane.
So that's why you need to shear some trees.
And when you do it correctly, you get a stronger tree.
Like, I don't know if you know this, but if you have like two live oaks growing side by side, just let's say six inches apart or a foot apart, you got two of them.
They're the same size.
That's not going to be a healthy tree.
You're going to have two half trees that are each lopsided.
So you don't want to do that.
You actually want to cut down one of them and leave the other, and then it becomes a big, beautiful, symmetrical tree that can resist winds and storms and everything.
And it just, you know, it's healthier, it looks better, etc.
So, yes, sometimes you sacrifice one tree in order to have a healthier, more successful tree.
So that's what the tree shears are for.
I'm not running around like clear-cutting the forest, obviously.
That would be crazy.
All right, now with that said, I want to proceed to my special report sharing my mission statement with you.
In case you're wondering what I'm all about, what are we up to?
What are our goals for society?
I want to share that with you.
So that's coming up next.
Before we get there, thank you for all your support.

And also, don't forget about all the deals we have with our affiliate providers at rangerdeals.com, including the satellite phone store is there.
The de-googled phone company is there.
A source for ivermectin for pets, labeled for pets, is also there.
Lots of different, you know, many different providers, right?
The peptide company, all with discount codes to save you 10, sometimes 15%.
Shield arms is there, etc.
So that's all at rangerdeals.com.
So check it out, and then we'll continue with my special report straight ahead.
All right, welcome to this special report of Mike Adams, and I'm sharing with you here my updated mission statement.
What am I up to in the world?
What is my company doing?
And why are we doing it?
What are our core values?
And how do we see our actions helping to make the world a better place?
So for many years with my store, HealthRangerStore.com, the slogan has been healing the world with clean food.
And that is still a top goal, obviously.
And we are continuing that goal, expanding that, because I believe that toxins like heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides, including gender bender atrazine herbicide and other contaminants, I believe that they cause mental illness, they cause disease and suffering.
They cause a loss of cognition, in some cases, actual lowered IQs, like with lead, or insanity, like with mercury poisoning, or even excessive copper poisoning can cause that in some cases.
And so also pesticides and herbicides can cause Alzheimer's.
They can contribute to dementia or early cognitive decline.
Also, the ingredients and vaccines can be incredibly toxic.
Multiple ingredients, not just mRNA, but also aluminum-based adjuvants, the MRC5, the WI38 aborted human fetal cell tissue, basically cancer cells that they're injecting into you, etc.
And I believe that the processed food industry is incredibly toxic.
Infant formula is a total joke.
It's like sugar with milk proteins and some synthetic junk vitamins thrown in.
I mean, it's ridiculous that that stuff costs $45 a canister.
It's like a canister of sugar milk with cheap, cheap minerals.
and cheap vitamins, all synthetic or most of them synthetic.
So that's crazy.
And I think that humanity deserves better.
I think that if we get back to clean food and nutritious food and we get back to food that's grown in mineral-rich soils, and also if we understand the role of nutrition and certain nutrients that have anti-cancer properties, for example,
such as turmeric or even, let's say, sulforaphane from cruciferous vegetables or the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of things like anthocyanins or various carotenoids like even acaxanthin, you know, it's a fat-soluble carotenoid.
It's known as the king of carotenoids.
I think, and there are, you know, hundreds and hundreds of these, polyphenols, et cetera, green tea, L-theanine, EGCG, you name it, you know, grapeseed extract, pro-anthocyanidins, all kinds of things that are incredibly powerful natural medicine.
And so I've made it my mission for many years to help bring these medicines and these foods and superfoods to the world in an ultra-clean format, which is why I started a laboratory, a mass spec lab back in 2013, I believe it is.
So I've been running that lab for 12 years now, and we have added more and more mass spec instruments over the years to test for not just heavy metals.
We have two heavy metals instruments, ICPMS is what that's called, but also to test for pesticides, herbicides, glyphosate, and then afatoxins and also microbiology.
We have incubation systems to test for E. coli and salmonella, yeast and mold, etc.
So we've built this out over all these years, and we're actually moving the lab to a new building this year, later this year.
And I'll give you a full video tour once we're in the new lab, because I think you'll really, you'll love it.
It's pretty cool.
I think we have now seven mass spec instruments, including a triple quad GC that we're going to be using for all kinds of additional contaminant testing.
So that mission, I believe it's one that you and I share, and I greatly appreciate your support as we have pursued that mission.
We have been able to provide clean foods and superfoods and nutritional supplements and first aid gels and just ultra clean products from toothpaste and deodorant to laundry detergent, body soap, etc., that we formulate ourselves.
Most of them we manufacture.
Some we have to outsource the manufacturing because of specialty items, but it's manufactured to our specifications and then we conduct the testing, etc.
But most of these items we make ourselves.
And we've been able to provide these to, I don't know how many hundreds of thousands of people, not just in North America, but all over the world.
And through that process, I believe we've been able to help people maintain their health goals.
We've been able to help people avoid exposure to a lot of toxins.
And we've introduced people to some amazing nutrients that have materially helped support the longevity and health of overall millions of people and to help end human suffering and to help prevent conditions that could be caused by things like toxic exposure.
Like we've prevented exposure to lead.
We've prevented exposure to glyphosate because our products are ultra-tested and ultra-clean.
So we've positively impacted the lives of many millions of people through that process.
And if you've ever shopped with us at healthrangerstore.com, then you've experienced that.
And I thank you for your support.
We could not do it without you.
We will continue to expand that effort.
That said, we're just getting started.
My next project, my next goal, this is where the mission statement gets really interesting.
This is kind of a moonshot type of project is I want to impact a billion people with knowledge.
knowledge about health and nutrition, knowledge about how to prevent chronic degenerative disease, knowledge about how to overcome cancer and diabetes.
And there's a pathway to doing this where I can deliver that knowledge to a billion people at no cost to them, at no cost.
And I can do that through decentralized technology, specifically artificial intelligence or the AI engines.
that we have now learned how to modify in order to be pro-human, pro-natural health.
For example, our current AI engine known as Enoch, it's at brightion.ai.
It is the most extensively trained AI engine in the world on nutrition, natural health, alternative medicine, complementary medicine, off-grid living, self-reliance, homegrown food, home gardening, food preservation techniques.
It can help you understand your symptoms.
It can help you design meal plans that are healthier.
It can help you identify causes of health conditions.
And I'm not saying that it's a replacement for your naturopathic physician, because I do encourage you to work with a naturopath, but you can do a tremendous amount of research on your own to help yourself get informed for that conversation with your naturopath.
And you can do that with our AI engine, and our AI engine is completely free.
And even though it's predominantly trained in English right now, our training will be expanded in 2026 to at least a dozen languages, I'm guessing.
Certainly Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, oh, Italian.
Don't forget the Italians.
What else?
I don't know, a few other, oh, Russian.
It's going to be able to speak Russian and probably a few other languages as well.
Anyway, we're going to hit all the major languages, including the Asian languages.
I don't know about Thai.
We might be able to get it to speak Thai.
We'll see.
But that's going to require some new hardware that we are ready to invest in.
We're waiting for NVIDIA to ship some new microchips.
And that will enable us to do bulk mass translation and then retraining of the models in those different languages.
We already know how to do it.
We have the technology.
We're just waiting for the hardware.
So my goal is to help end human suffering through knowledge and empowerment about nutrition, about health, about foods, about self-reliance, and also to warn people about the toxicities of a lot of mainstream toxic products,
you know, mainstream personal care, cosmetics, processed foods, and also pharmaceutical medicine and vaccines, because that's causing incredible suffering and maiming and mass death across our world.
Probably at least 20 million people were killed by COVID vaccines.
And every year in the United States, it's estimated that over 200,000 Americans are killed by FDA-approved prescription drugs that are prescribed by a doctor.
You know, a couple hundred thousand people a year.
That's like three Vietnam wars in terms of total casualties of Americans.
That's unacceptable.
And the only reason that people don't make better health choices is because they don't have access to honest, independent information.
Instead, what they have is through search engines like Google, they have big pharma information.
Or through industry-controlled sources like Wikipedia, which is mostly just a CIA big pharma mouthpiece that just pushes vaccines and psychiatric drugs and pesticides and toxins.
You're not going to get the real story about how to protect your health.
And governments and institutions like the CDC and the FDA, they push, of course, toxic medicines, toxic vaccines, depopulation agendas, infertility, etc.
And all of that is intentionally damaging to humanity.
And yet right now, we stand at a pivot point for the future of human civilization, where a relatively small organization like mine, with your help and your support, we can make a tool available to the world in most of the world's languages that can give people direct access to the knowledge that has been withheld from them on purpose.
And in doing so, we can render the Western medical system obsolete.
And I don't mean there won't be a place for Western medicine.
There's always going to be a place for emergency medicine, you know, the ER, painkillers for certain conditions, obviously, you know, antibiotics for emergency acute conditions, et cetera.
But we don't need the Western medical system to try to tell you how to manage your blood pressure or your diabetes or cancer or heart disease because it's horrible at that.
It's got no answers for that.
Those answers for preventing chronic degenerative disease and for living with your full health, your full cognition, your full joy and longevity, those answers come from outside of Western medicine.
Those answers come from holistic medicine or alternative medicine or naturopathy or homeopathy or traditional Chinese medicine or chiropractic care, etc.
You know, herbalism, essential oils, all of these things.
Those are where the answers are actually found that can help humanity be healthier and happier to help end human suffering and also to save a fortune in healthcare costs.
Because now we know how to prevent cancer.
We even know how to reverse it.
My AI engine, Enoch, can tell you how to reverse most cancers.
It can.
Just ask it.
You just tell it as much information as you have about your question.
And you can ask it for information about everything from what nutrients, what herbs, what lifestyle choices, do you have vitamin D deficiency, all kinds of things.
Now, again, always fact check it because every AI engine can make mistakes.
That's true across all of them.
So always consult with your naturopathic physician.
But you can use Enoch to educate yourself and to make better choices.
And that has never before been available to humanity.
Never before.
And I want to give credit to all of the experts in machine learning and computer science that actually brought us to this point through key technologies such as Transformers.
That's part of the machine learning neural network tech.
Transformers is what makes AI language models possible.
And then there's also the hardware side, companies like NVIDIA and its pioneer, Jensen Huang, who is an extraordinary individual, very bright.
And without his vision, going back a couple of decades, we wouldn't have the hardware to be able to carry out the compute to build these language models and to serve inference on these models in an affordable way.
So I want to be clear that the project, the vision that I'm sharing with you is built on the shoulders of other intellectual giants in machine learning, in mathematics, also in the history of naturopathy,
the history of homeopathy, the history of complementary medicine, the history of phytochemistry and all the researchers all over the world, because we've trained on science papers out of China and India and the UK and the USA and Canada and Japan, all over the world.
We've translated into English and trained on that content to make sure that our engine, Enoch, has the world's best information about nutrition.
It knows everything about nutrition.
Well, I should say it knows more about nutrition than any living doctor today or any doctor that ever lived by far.
And as we achieve our mission of ingesting the entirety of the world's knowledge, and we're actually on track for that, our engine will know literally everything that every nutrition scientist has ever published in the history of civilization.
And I think we'll achieve that within one year.
And we already have the budget to do that.
We already, I mean, it is just thanks to your support.
When you shop with us, healthrangerstore.com, you provide us the funding to achieve this moonshot mission that will absolutely change the world.
Decentralized knowledge that bypasses censorship, that empowers people with hidden knowledge that has been intentionally blacklisted from human consciousness by search engines like Google, which is one of the most evil corporations in the world, but also by entire industries like the pharmaceutical industry, the vaccine industry, the pesticide industry, etc.
All of which are steeped in all kinds of just lies and propaganda and mass death like Monsanto and Bayer, which was one of the offshoots of IG Farben that carried out crimes against humanity in World War II under the Third Reich.
You know, that was Bayer.
Well, it was called IG Farben at the time.
And then it was called Bayer.
And now they bought Monsanto.
And Monsanto has been involved in mass poisoning of humanity for decades.
I mean, talk about a horror show.
But you haven't been allowed to know the truth about the things that really matter because even the science journals have been bought off by the pharmaceutical interests and the government regulators have been bought off.
Why does every FDA or CDC head end up taking a job with Big Pharma?
Yeah, because that's who they serve.
They serve Big Pharma.
And then they get hired by Big Pharma as a reward for their regulatory bias in favor of Big Pharma.
Happens again and again and again.
I mean, just go look up the history of the heads of the FDA or the CDC.
You know, Gerberding and all of them, they all end up just taking jobs with Big Pharma.
So for the first time in the history of civilization, we have a technology.
I mean, this is as important as the invention of blockchain.
Even more important.
We have the technology to fundamentally distribute knowledge at such a low cost that we can make it available for free to anybody who's connected online.
And we can bring people knowledge that has been censored on purpose by the corporate interests and the big tech interests that profit from ignorance and disease and suffering.
Big pharma profits by keeping you sick.
So my mission is to help you learn how to be well, learn how to not need big pharma's toxic products, learn how to avoid toxic vaccines and yet never get sick.
Because that's the life I live.
I don't take vaccines.
I don't take pharmaceuticals.
I never get sick.
I mean, the last time I got sick, I shouldn't say never, but the last time I got sick or was slightly symptomatic, you know, could easily deal with it with nutrition and if necessary, you know, some off-label pharmaceuticals that are rooted in natural soil microbes, Ivermectin being one of those.
That's actually from nature.
That's not a synthetic drug.
It's actually found in soil microbes.
I don't know if you knew that, but that comes from nature.
So I rely on natural substances to stay well.
And when I say I never get sick, what I mean is I can't even remember the last time that I was sick in bed.
I can't remember the last time I missed a day of work from being sick.
And the only time I visited a doctor, I think, in the last 20 years was based on an injury that I had a ranch working injury.
And visiting the doctor was useless and pointless.
And I would have been better off to even not visit that doctor.
That's what I learned.
So it's like there are solutions for your health challenges.
And those solutions are based on knowledge.
And we, together, we can make the world a better place by providing that knowledge in a decentralized fashion, free of charge, to a billion people or more.
So that's my mission.
That's how I'm paying it forward to humanity.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that, of course, it's not just the online version of Enoch at brightion.ai that you can use for free right now.
But of course, we're going to be making available downloadable versions that you can run locally on your own GPUs or even on your own phone.
We've got one of our smaller models, I think a 7 billion parameter model, running on one of the de-Googled above phones.
And so you'll be able to buy phones from AbovePhone that come with our model pre-installed on it shortly, within a few weeks.
And it's actually pretty good, even though it's a smaller model.
But soon, as technology advances, you'll be able to run larger and larger models on smaller and smaller devices.
That's called edge computing or edge inference.
So before long, we'll have like a 24 billion parameter model that you'll be able to run on your phone.
And you'll be able to just talk to it with your voice.
It'll run locally with no internet connection.
And it'll answer all your health questions right there on your phone.
And we're going to give it away for free.
I mean, sure, there's probably there would be some way, you know, to make a billion dollars doing this and charge people a monthly fee.
Okay, I get it.
There's lots of people that want to do that.
Fine, it's a free market.
But in a free market, I can also choose to give it away for free.
And that's what I'm doing on purpose.
And I want to invite you to join me in that mission.
And if you shop with us, that's how you do it.
You know, you become, in essence, an investor in this mission by purchasing from us at healthrangerstore.com.
It's really that simple.
You provide us the funding.
We direct that funding into this technology and we give it to the world for free.
And in doing so, we help end human suffering.
We help uplift human knowledge.
We also help make the broken, corrupt system of Western medicine rapidly obsolete because it's a system of incredible harm and profiteering and greed and deception and lies and junk science.
That's what big pharma represents.
That's what the CDC represents.
That's what the FDA represents.
The sooner those institutions are obsolete, the better off humanity will be.
And the way we do that is through decentralized knowledge.
And now we have the technology to do that.
And you know what?
It can't be stopped.
It can't be stopped.
They can censor the corporate media.
They can censor, like I'm censored off YouTube.
I have been for years.
I'm censored off, you know, Google.
I can't even post videos on Vimeo.
I can't even have a profile on LinkedIn because that's run by a globalist lunatic as well.
They can censor all the platforms, but they can't censor me giving away this knowledge for free to the entire world through downloadable models or web pages that you can access to use the models for free.
They can't censor that.
I mean, I'm sure someday they'll probably try, but that's okay.
We have a First Amendment here in the United States, and we're going to fight back because we have the right to dispense valuable information through a language model that can help people uplift and improve the quality of their lives through knowledge.
And the entire Western medical system only exists because they keep people ignorant.
The entire oncology system only succeeds because they keep people ignorant about the multitude of natural cures for cancer.
Think about that.
Their profit model only works because they make sure that people are kept in the dark.
And that is not acceptable.
We can do better as a species.
We must do better if we're going to survive as the human race.
We've got to acknowledge reality, which is that Mother Nature put the cures here already.
They've been here the whole time.
They're in the plants and in the trees and the seeds and the berries and the grasses and the leaves and even the tree bark, which is used in Chinese medicine.
Also, cinnamon comes from tree bark and that helps regulate blood sugar.
Did you know that?
The medicine is everywhere.
It's in the sunlight.
It's in the clean water.
It's in the vibration of the water, you know, homeopathy.
It's everywhere.
Medicine is all around us, but we've been deceived by the sorcery of the pharmacea pharmakeia sorcery.
We've been deceived into not seeing the medicine that surrounds us all the time.
Instead, people only see medicine at the pharmacy in these artificial synthetic pills that make all kinds of money for the drug giants that the FDA then enforces a monopoly that says only those synthetic chemical companies can claim to treat disease.
That's a lie.
That's an FDA lie.
And it's time for that lie to be dismantled because there are all kinds of molecules from nature that can treat, prevent, and cure and reverse chronic degenerative disease, including cancer and diabetes and heart disease and Alzheimer's and osteoporosis and depression and almost anything else you can name.
There are molecules that have been here since the beginning of the human race that do these things.
And yet we have been spellbound, literally spellbound, into forgetting that those even exist or ignoring them.
And that's an artificial construct that has been put in place to keep humanity enslaved and ignorant.
And I stand as a fighter against that ignorance.
I stand as someone who says it's time to dismantle that system, unleash truth, reality, freedom, freedom of information, freedom of knowledge.
Let's share knowledge freely so that everybody has access to the solutions.
Nobody has to suffer from preventable disease from now on.
Nobody has to suffer.
We have the tools available.
And the other thing that you can do to help me is share the word about Brighteon.ai because our AI engine will always be free.
Okay, so don't worry.
We're not just doing this in order to gather a user base that we're going to start charging for.
That's not our model.
No, our model is to always give it away for free.
So share the word because we're not backed by VC.
We don't have a giant marketing budget.
Nobody in corporate media is going to cover us, obviously, because they're all funded by big pharma.
You know, we're up against very powerful financial interests.
Thank God we have the First Amendment in the United States in order to support our ability to host something like this.
Even then, the engine is actually owned by our nonprofit organization.
And it's free and non-commercial, so we don't even have a financial relationship with anybody.
So obviously, you know, use it at your own risk and fact check everything it says because it is, it can make mistakes as AI can, but it's an incredibly powerful, free tool.
So help us spread the word about it.
And, you know, you can use it for survival questions and preparedness and even many other questions outside of those areas.
You'll be amazed at what it can do.
And its knowledge base will only increase rapidly.
I know because I'm working on that.
I mean, if I could, maybe one day I'll tell you the whole story of how I built this.
But right now, I can't tell you that full story because you wouldn't believe it.
You wouldn't believe it.
But that's okay.
I want to show you the end result and then you'll see what this is.
So my mission now is, it's twofold.
Yes, let's heal the world with clean food, but let's also transform the world with knowledge that was once hidden, but is now available for free.
Let's transform the world through decentralized knowledge about how to be healthy, how to be well, how to protect yourself, how to avoid toxins.
Let's make that tool available for free to a billion people.
Now, in order to do that, I'm going to have to build an inference farm.
Now, that means it's going to have to be a bunch of servers that handle the inference load.
By inference, I mean when people are querying it.
So when you write a prompt, you're asking it a question.
It runs inference in order to create the answer.
Now, fortunately, I have built out my new laboratory building with excessive power on purpose.
Like we built crazy amounts of power into that building.
I actually showed you a video of that with all the power lines and everything going into these giant breaker boxes and the transformer and everything.
And it's all online now.
And we're only using actually half that building for the lab.
Or maybe, I don't know, maybe 60% of the building is the lab.
That means we've got about 40% of the building that we can use as a small server farm.
And because of the new hardware that's coming online from NVIDIA, we'll be able to invest just maybe, I don't know, maybe only a couple million dollars in server hardware to handle the inference load to serve a billion people.
You know, assuming they all don't use it at the same time, but a billion people occasionally using the engine, we can handle that.
Because, you know, we've got fiber optic connections and everything.
That's all doable within the next, let's say, two years.
I don't even know that a billion people would even hear about our engine.
So we don't have to build it for a billion people right now.
We can just build it for 10 million people.
Or build it for a million people that want to use it over and over and over again every day, which is awesome.
We totally support that.
That's great.
So that's what we're building.
Okay.
And again, your help.
I mean, we need financial help to be able to do this.
There's obviously there's no revenue in doing this.
You know, there's no, we don't earn anything.
And that's why no investors are going to show up and say, yeah, I'll give you $500 million because you're going to make billions.
No, we're not going to make billions.
We're going to make a billion people happy and informed and empowered, but we're not going to make billions of dollars.
We're going to make a difference in billions of lives is my goal.
That's my goal.
And that's even more valuable than billions of dollars.
And we can do this just for a few million dollars.
So imagine, you know, the leverage of that for a few million dollars plus our knowledge base and your support and, you know, the available technology, we can dramatically impact and help improve the lives of a billion or more people.
That itself is the payoff.
That is a worthy goal all by itself.
And this whole system will outlast us.
You know, when I'm gone from this world, this whole system continues on.
So it'll be impacting billions of lives.
Well, assuming that, you know, the robots haven't killed everybody by then, but whoever's still living can use the system.
And that's a significant thing.
And that's really meaningful.
So that's my extended mission statement right now.
I believe in doing good in the world.
I believe in knowledge.
I believe in truth.
I believe in helping to end human suffering.
I also am a person of faith.
I believe in a creator of our simulation.
And I believe that we are here for a purpose.
And I think the two most significant days of our lives are, number one, the day we were born.
And then secondly, the day we figure out why.
And I'm not the one who created that quote, by the way.
I don't know who that was.
But I know why I'm here.
I'm here to do things like this.
I'm here to build platforms and build technology to give to the world, such as Brighteon.com, the free speech video platform, or BrightTown.social, free speech social media platform, Brighteon.ai, the AI engine, or Brightown.io, which is a blockchain-driven, decentralized social media platform that cannot be censored and it has no central servers, which is kind of interesting.
So I'm here to build platforms and spread knowledge.
And as luck would have, well, it's not luck.
As circumstances would have it, I've been able to acquire the world's knowledge.
And now we're just processing it.
So, and that's already done.
Imagine.
I mean, it makes for interesting conversation, you know, at a dinner party, what did you do this week?
I just acquired every book that's ever been published in every language.
What'd you do?
What?
Well, you know, knowledge is worth preserving.
So what I'm building actually is the Noah's Ark of human knowledge.
Think about it.
It's the Noah's Ark of human knowledge.
And human knowledge has the answers to all these questions about health and medicine and much more, even about philosophy and meaning and consciousness, all kinds of things, especially when you branch out beyond English.
When you start to read the literature that's written in Chinese or in Russian or other languages or Japanese, it gets even deeper because, well, they've been here longer, longer than the United States of America.
Anyway, not longer than the English language in every case, but longer than the United States of America.
Certainly Chinese has been around much longer than the English language and so has Russian and so has Hindi, etc.
But so has Farsi for that matter.
But the knowledge of the world is a treasure chest for human civilization, and yet we live in a time when most of it is suppressed and some of it's even outlawed.
And it's time to break through that.
So I am dedicated to mass decentralization of meaningful knowledge that can uplift humanity, that can empower people, that can help end human suffering, and can help our world heal.
And when I say heal, I don't mean just healing from disease.
I mean healing from violence, healing from war, healing from the mass mental illness that seems to inflict our national leaders who start the wars and cause suffering, etc.
You know, maybe some of that's heavy metals poisoning or pesticide poisoning.
Imagine if we could clean up our food supply and clean up our supplements and introduce people to high density nutrition.
Could we have an impact on halting wars?
Yes.
Yes, we can.
Because consuming loving foods, literally, makes you a more loving person.
Having more contact with nature helps you have more contact with humanity.
These things go together.
They are aligned.
If we want to end human suffering, we have to expand human knowledge and we have to end censorship.
And we are on the verge of the technology, this incredible zenith moment in history, to have arrived at this point, to have this capability to do this.
The moment is right now to make this happen.
And we are making it happen.
It's not just talk.
It's not just like a slide deck of a business proposal.
It's something that's working right now.
You can use it right now.
And we're continuing to build it and make it better.
So this is an important mission that we share.
And I know you're with me on this as a listener of this podcast.
You share these values, pro-human values, ending pain, ending war, ending violence, helping to uplift humanity, expanding knowledge and understanding.
This is about evolution of the human species here.
We can only do it through knowledge, not censorship.
We can only do it through peace, not war.
And we can only do it through love and nutrition, not toxic chemicals and assaulting the body with chemotherapy or psychiatric drugs.
So the shift is underway now.
And we are part of it.
We are making it happen together.
And we have a front row seat to it happening as well.
This is an extraordinary moment in history.
Every king of every kingdom that ever existed in the history of our planet never had the tool that you have access to right now, free of charge, at brighteon.ai, which is an encapsulated version of all the world's knowledge and all the world's best research into herbs and nutrition and natural cures, causes of disease, etc.
Again, no king ever had that.
No nation ever had that until now.
The world didn't have this until just a few months ago, when we launched it.
And there's no corporation that's ever going to build this.
There's no tech giant that has any interest in human success.
They all just want to push a transhumanism world and merge with the machines.
No, I want you to be fully human and to be the most outrageously successful, powerful, happy human that you can possibly be.
I want you to maximize your potential while you are here in this simulation.
And by that, I mean a cosmic simulation because this is not the real world, obviously.

Okay, thank you for listening.
Take care, everybody.
God bless you all.
All right.
Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
Are you stressed out about the world today?
I mean, it's pretty easy to be stressed, especially if you don't manage it well and deal with it in some very effective ways.
And for many people, stress causes them to overeat also.
So a lot of people are dealing with being, you know, too heavy and not easily letting the weight slide off maybe like it used to.
So what about those two problems, gaining weight and suffering from too much stress?
Well, they're related and they're related in some key ways that speaks to some of the solutions to that.
And our special guests today, they are the co-creators of a fantastic new streaming course, a docu series that's free of charge at brightyou.com.
You can register for it right now and it begins streaming on September 13th and one episode streams for free each day.
And right here is the registration form.
I'll show you.
It's called Holistic Weight and Stress Management.
You can sign up on September 13th.
Here's the form.
And just enter your name and email address.
And it's free to view.
So the experts who put this together are none other than our friends Sean Cohen and Dr. Habib, who are co-authors of the book, The Dopamine Revolution, and so much more.
Welcome, gentlemen, to the show today.
Hi.
Thank you.
Thank you kindly.
Thank you both for being here.
It's great to have you on.
And we get to talk more frequently because you two are so busy producing so many amazing things.
You've got next level gum.
You've got your book.
You've got your podcast.
And now you've got this docuseries.
How are you guys finding the time to put all this together?
Seriously.
I've just been digging into, I've just been digging into so much that I've learned over the years and realizing that, you know, this is like the core, the core of what I've learned.
And Dr. Habib helped me come to that realization when I met him and started talking about, you know, my old product, Crave Kicker.
And I was helping smokers with addiction.
And then my cancer prevention book and all the chemicals I studied in food and medicine that mess up our system.
And when I started talking to him, he just blew it out of the water.
And I realized that almost everything I've studied really boils back to dopamine and metabolism.
And if we can get everybody to understand what we're, you know, what we're bringing to the surface and trying to make practical knowledge, I think everybody's going to benefit a whole lot.
So, Dr. Habib, what are the things that crush metabolism that really, you know, really put people on that bad path?
Well, I want to thank you for inviting us.
And, you know, we're passionate about what we talk about.
You know, life in short.
I think if people had the perfect life in New Zealand, where the air is clean and the grass is green and there's more sheep than human beings, then we'd be fine.
But I think that it all stems from chronic stress.
And that stress can be psychological.
It could be a toxic burden.
That stress can be coming from the gut, like leaky gut.
So we're being bombarded with chronic stress and ultimately leads to insulin resistance.
And that is really the key or the core to why we have an appetite problem, a satiety problem, a metabolic problem.
And fuel and metabolism is at the root or lack of is at the root of most chronic diseases.
Well, but I've heard a lot of people think that as they get older, they think it's just, quote, aging, that they're slowing down.
They're not as active as they used to be.
I mean, I understand that.
I exercise almost every day and I can't run a mile like I could when I was 19, but I can still run.
I can run 30 minutes now.
But people think it's just aging.
Why is it not just aging to become like old and fat and not able to function?
And I'm not disrespecting people who are overweight, by the way.
I mean, I was overweight too.
We're all constantly trying to get in better shape.
But what's the answer to that, Dr. Habib?
Well, it looks very deceptive.
And the point we want to make is, are you biologically older or chronologically older?
Basically, you're as old as you feel.
And frankly, I have 80-year-olds who have the biological age of a 40-year-old, 45-year-old.
I have people who are 34 and have the biological age of a 58-year-old.
So it really depends on your biological age, which is not only measurable with DNA methylation, telomere length, you can even look at what we call the glycan age.
We can tell you the rate of aging.
It's called Dundeden rate of aging.
So really, if you're biologically young, then your metabolism is young.
Your blood vessels are young.
Your brain will be young.
Your liver will be young.
So it's very important to understand the difference.
And frankly, when the function goes down because you're not taking care of yourself, then you're prematurely aging.
And there lies the transition from civilian to medical, which is losing function is the beginning, the prerequisite of disease.
When doctors diagnose disease and they call it early, borderline blood pressure, pre-diabetes, they're actually describing so much loss in function that now at the cusp of disease.
And that's why functional medicine not only measures the decline, but actually tells you where the glitches are.
And so you have lots of opportunity to prevent it.
And should you get the disease, you need to figure out those glitches because there's no way back until you get function back.
Yeah, well said.
Well said.
And what I love about what both of you guys are doing is you're working on solutions that help people decentralize medicine, learn about how your body works, become the master of your own health, let's say, or become your own health coach.
But in order to do that, you have to have knowledge.
And that's what this course is all about.
And I want to ask you, Sean, can you kind of walk us through the highlights of what's found in this free online course?
Again, folks, you can register for it at brightu.com.
That's the word bright, followed by the letter you, brightu.com.
It's called holistic weight and stress management.
It's free to view.
Optionally, you can purchase the whole thing and download it all at once if you want.
And it begins streaming September 13th, and it streams there, looks like for like nine days or something like that, a new episode each day.
But, Sean, walk us through the highlights of what people will learn in the course, please.
Sure.
Well, you hit the nail on the head.
The hardest part, I think, for people is doing the research, whether they don't have the time or they're looking in the wrong spots, you know, because so much is censored.
It's hard to find.
And I've learned over the years since like 2007, when I really started digging into doing this, that it's not easy.
And it's not easy to synthesize it because a lot of it's, you know, medical language or scientific language.
So that's what I've done as an educator is try to make it practical and digestible.
And so what we're doing is the first, it's a four-month course, but you really, you could attack it in four weeks if you wanted to.
It's just how fast you can kind of adapt and adopt the strategies that we have put in place in this.
So the first month that we call it optimization, and that's really filtering out the major toxins.
We're not trying to overwhelm anyone.
You know, it's not one of those drastic lifestyle changes where you got to give up everything you like and suffer.
That's not what it's about.
It's simple swaps.
We're just pointing out some of the major toxins that affect your metabolism and deplete your dopamine.
Okay, so before we get to that, I asked our AI engine, Enoch, about the importance of dopamine in body weight and stress management.
And look at what it said.
Stress management.
Chronic stress depletes dopamine levels in the brain as the body prioritizes the production of stress hormones like cortisol.
Lower dopamine levels can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and decrease motivation.
To manage stress, it's essential to engage in activities that boost dopamine production.
It talks about social connections, exercise, creative pursuits.
Dr. Habib, as a physician, does this answer sound correct to you?
100%.
And frankly, you shouldn't have to go to the doctor to be in that crisis.
I think what you're doing is a phenomenal job of educating people so the power is in their hands.
You know, oftentimes the drug companies will know the details, but they will just stop shy of telling you the information, except now you have a drug.
And you're an expert.
You see this over a long period of time.
And what I would say is that the things that are bad for you, like inflammation, the things that go on the gut eventually enter the bloodstream, creating oxidation.
These are things that need to be addressed, especially when it's at the brain level.
And the dopamine is the number one antioxidant for the brain.
So it's no wonder it gets depleted when you have a bad diet.
It's no wonder when you resort to quick fixes.
And conversely, just a little bit of effort in restraining yourself, like a little bit of cold, a little bit of discomfort, a little bit of exercise, that's all it takes.
And it's about balance.
But I completely agree with what you just said.
And back to Sean on this, and I'm reading from Enoch, part of our answer here.
Restoring your normal dopamine abundance will motivate you to exercise.
You see?
Right?
So, I mean, show my screen if you would, please.
It talks about addiction and overeating and how low dopamine causes addiction and overeating.
Sean was just talking about that.
His previous product, Crave Kicker, was helping smokers quit smoking.
And right now, he's got Next Level Gum.
That's a joint product that they've created together that we also offer at the Health Ranger store that helps your body balance its natural normal hormone levels.
So, Sean, back to you.
Talk about why the things that make people overweight or the lack of exercise, that's totally related to low dopamine, isn't it?
Oh, for sure.
What happens is, there was a good article about this.
I think you had it on Natural News a little bit ago, where just a quick binge, like a three-day binge on junk food, can totally wreck your health because what's happening is we're wrecking our gut, our good gut bacteria.
And then we're toxifying our kidneys and liver.
And that's what's processing all of the dopamine for us.
So you can make up your mind, hey, that sounds like a good diet.
I'm going to try that.
Hey, that sounds like a great exercise.
I'm going to try that.
But if your dopamine levels are so compromised, you're either not going to be motivated to do it or you're going to start and just want to quit.
And that's called dopamine downregulation.
And what people don't realize is that all of these addictions and people have addictions to common stuff.
We think of addiction, we think of hard drugs.
But think about sugar.
Think about excitotoxins like the concentrated salts.
Think about just alcohol and nicotine.
These addictions also down-regulate your dopamine.
And if you don't know the right superfoods and supplements that are going to replenish, it's like a video game character with the low bars.
Okay, so you want to fight, but how are you going to do it?
You've got no energy and you can't even think straight.
So you've got to know the tricks of the trade and what to do about it.
Check this out.
You can go on Amazon.
You can buy a bottle of MSG as a spice.
It's like a salt shaker.
I mean, you can literally poison your brain by purchasing excitotoxins.
It's like the fluoride pills.
It's like the fluoride pills.
Yeah, it's crazy.
But if you sell vitamin C and say that it reverses scurvy, you go to jail.
But if you sell poison, it poisons people's brains, no problem.
I mean, how insane.
I actually use this when I have my microscope here.
We had crazy bacteria living on the slide, some of this bacteria that fell out of the sky.
And so we were actually incubating the bacteria and growing these colonies, and they were swimming around.
And we put a couple of crystals of MSG, and the bacteria went insane, and then they died.
I'm like, yo, excitotoxins.
That's how they work.
But that destroys your brain chemistry, your dopamine levels.
Either one of you want to comment on that, excitotoxins?
Yeah, I mean, do you mind, Sean, if I jump in there?
You know, that's a holy grail where psychology, psychiatry, and really medicine meet.
And it all starts with inflammation.
And so when you have neurotoxicity, you're actually talking about inflammation that damages the nerves.
And frankly, there's a receptor, and the word glutamate is in that receptor.
It's NDMA.
And glutamate, when it's overstimulated, like you said, monosodium glutamate, MSG, monosodium glutamate.
Scientists use their abbreviations and words very, very precisely.
Doctors are not scientists.
They will cut corners.
So when a scientist writes words down, so too much glutamate in the wrong place is a science excites toxic.
Just on the part about, you know, when we talk about dopamine and just a little bit of motivation, I call it emotional energy.
Sometimes you don't want to go to the gym and it's like, I'll take a gum and that just gets me into the gym.
And once I start working out, I'm good.
So I think, you know, having replenishing the body like that is a great tool to assist you in the day-to-day.
And I'll finish off by saying this.
There's enough science to show that low dopamine results in high sympathetic drive.
That's another word for saying your foot is on the gas pedal.
There's consequences, especially when it's chronic.
That foot on the gas pedal raises the cortisol.
That creates insulin resistance.
Now, you're in a state where you may not have eaten, but your body has high insulin levels.
All it can do is stall.
It cannot burn fat whilst the insulin is high.
That's a really good point.
And then on top of that, and I'll direct this to Sean, we live in a world where we are inundated with reports of violence, of bombings, of suffering, of conflict, of anger, and insanity.
And shootings, you know.
And if we're not able to properly maintain our barrier, our psychological barrier against that, if you let that control your mind, then you're going to be stressed out constantly 24-7.
And that just makes all of this far worse.
Sean?
Yeah, and I call that negative energy or gross energy.
And what that's doing is, you know, the three of us, we're pretty good at filtering this stuff.
And sometimes it's in your face.
You got to recognize it.
You got to acknowledge it.
Somebody at work is talking about it to you or around you, whatever.
But you got to play catch and release because if you ingest it, if you let it bother you, that stress, that stress is enough to use up your dopamine.
So you're trying to focus on something else.
You're trying to do something productive later.
And it's impeded because you have used it up.
So it's almost like being injured or sick.
You have to think of it like that because that negative energy, it compounds.
And the more you think about it, the more you say, I should have said this, I could have done that.
And the more you engage it, you help it grow.
So if you argue with somebody about politics or, you know, and you're trying to persuade them or dissuade them, it's really a waste of time.
You need to just focus on the positive things in your life.
And that's what this course is about.
It's about focusing on what really matters to you and your health and reducing and eliminating the stress, which drives anxiety.
In the long term, it drives depression.
And then where are you?
Then you feel like it's just a brick wall and you're stuck.
So we want you to feel good right away.
Let me bring back the course here.
Brightu.com is where you can register.
It's free to view.
And this course is going to help you realize the mechanisms and master the mechanisms for holistic weight loss and stress management.
But we're not talking about calorie restriction dieting.
We're talking about the brain.
We're talking about metabolism.
We're talking about resetting your metabolism.
Now, my question to you, Dr. Habib, is I think many adults remember that when they were children, they could just run around nonstop.
They could eat anything they wanted.
They were burning calories all day, unlimited energy.
And I'm not saying that we can go back to exactly that, but I think everybody remembers it, or most people remember a time when they didn't have to think about what they ate because their body and their brain were naturally very active in a healthy way.
But what you're teaching helps us restore that, but in a mature way, correct?
Yes, great lead.
I mean, I just want to touch back on what Sean said, toxic stress.
So that word toxin can be elaborated.
And frankly, I think that what is grossly overlooked is that as we get older, we're building up these toxins without realizing.
And sometimes I'll give you my own example that sometimes I'm really focused on what I eat, how I exercise, but it just can't seem to shed that one or two pounds, you know, which is a lot for me.
I'm very short, relatively short.
But then other times when I'm not worrying about that and life is balanced, I don't have a weight with a problem with the scale at all.
And so Sean mentioned toxic stress.
Well, toxins are the root of a lot of these problems.
So what is toxic in the brain can actually become toxic metabolically.
I'll be very brief on this, which is that when you have toxins in the brain, the dopamine is released from the right place, which is little bubbles, into the wrong place, into the cytoplasm.
There lies the beginning of the problem with dopamine long before even Parkinson's, which is really low levels in those vesicles.
In the same way, what happens with toxicity is that when you have toxins in your fat, we call it lipotoxicity.
That's one of the major contributors of insulin resistance.
Inflammation is the other one.
Toxic fat is another one.
And so if you have these toxins, you may be doing all the right stuff, but it's so hard to lose the weight.
It's not age.
It's the accumulation of at least an example would be toxins, which are stored in your body fat.
Yeah, yeah.
Well said.
And I also want to ask you, Dr. Habib, about psychiatric drugs and how that alters brain chemistry.
But first, it's funny.
You mentioned that you were short and we've never met in person.
You look tall.
You look tall.
And I think it's because of your face shape and your thinness.
So you look really tall to me.
And it's so funny because I was recently at Ron Paul's barbecue event and some people saw me in person for the first time and they said to me, oh my God, I didn't realize how tall you are.
Like, I thought you were short.
So apparently I look short and you look tall.
I love digital.
I don't know why people think I'm short in my studio, but then they see me in person and I'm like towering above them and like, oh my God.
It's just a funny side thought.
Sean, we've never met in person either, have we?
No, we need to.
Maybe you're tall or short, Sean, or somewhere in the middle.
I'm 6'1 without my shoes on.
So you're pretty tall.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Well, see, that's the thing.
We just never know digitally.
Okay.
But I love to inject humor into our interviews also because laughter is part of what creates dopamine and it's important.
So we're kind of demonstrating some of this as we're talking about it.
But back to you, Dr. Habib.
Talk, if you would, please, about psychiatric drugs.
And we've seen that they're associated with most school shootings also and suicide ideation and many other problems.
Can you speak to that?
Yeah, listen.
The problem is we don't have a drug deficiency that we need to replace.
And, you know, there is a time and a place.
I don't want to sound like I'm against drugs.
I'm an MD.
I'm licensed to diagnose and treat.
And I know what drugs can do.
But what we need to do is use them like a bridge in a crisis situation.
But what ends up happening is that people don't deal with the root cause.
They end up staying on these medications forever.
And then the body senses this and adjusts, adapts.
There lies the merry-go-round.
You're using a drug, the body's adapting, and then you're increasing it or changing it.
Then the body adapts against that.
So really, drugs can be very useful because there are situations where there's an imbalance.
But if I keep it very simple, between one nerve and the other, all the magic happens in the middle.
So when we talk about neurotransmitters, one of the major players is acetylcholine.
The problem is either too much is stuck in that synapse, which makes it very irritating.
Like too much glutamine is cytotoxic or neurotoxic.
In the same way, too little doesn't work.
So drugs can come in and manipulate it.
But what we need to do is understand the root cause.
Those healthy behaviors keep that balance.
The environmental factors, what you eat and what you look at, and the exposures, especially scents that are made of oils, they go straight through the blood-brain barrier and they create tremendous toxins.
So no wonder people have sleep problems.
They wake up tired.
They have fog.
And then the brain controls the gut.
So it becomes a vicious cycle.
And let me add, and I know you're aware of this, Sean, you're aware of this too, but the entire category of organophosphate herbicide or pesticides is also acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
So now we're talking about an enzyme involved in the function of your neurotransmitters.
And if you eat a lot of unclean foods, now there's an impact.
Because remember that pesticides work to kill living organisms by interfering with some kind of system that keeps them alive.
In many cases, that's the nervous system.
When we eat those pesticides, even though we're not as small as a tiny bug, it still can have a systemic effect.
Sean, you've done a lot of research about detoxification and also causes of cancer and so on.
What do you see as the links between pesticide and herbicide exposure and brain chemistry imbalances?
Well, the pesticides are going to decimate your good gut bacteria, your flora, and then they're going to invade your cleansing organs and make them do a bunch of work.
So as soon as you start taxing those cleansing organs, they're not going to be able to produce and process your dopamine properly.
So I think what's happened is, you know, organic was like a fad.
It was like, oh, the extreme health enthusiasts are doing that organic thing.
You know, it was like a $5 billion industry 20 years ago.
Now, I don't even know what kind of industry it is.
It's probably 100 billion.
But people underestimate the difference between conventional food and organic clean food.
They don't really know the value difference.
And the difference is that you've got glyphosate, you've got the weed killer, and then they're spraying the crops with that.
So they're using it as a drying agent.
So like, you know, a lot of like medical doctors will talk about eat more grains or something like that, whatever they can say about nutrition.
Eat more grains or eat less red meat or eat less salt.
But grains, if you don't get organic, you're going to be eating weed killer because they're using it to dry out the grains.
And then the GMO, if you don't understand genetically modified organisms, they're growing the pesticides from inside, inside the seed, inside the stem, inside the produce.
And when you eat it, it doesn't stop there.
You're actually a pesticide factory.
You're creating pesticides in your gut.
Yeah.
And your body doesn't know what to do with it.
It has no idea how to create enzymes to break that down.
And I just saw a professional talking about how it can take you weeks for your body to figure out what to do with the GMOs.
And you're exactly right.
And I want to mention something that maybe our audience doesn't even know.
But in the Vietnam War, of course, an agent was sprayed on the jungles to try to kill all the plants.
And that's called Agent Orange.
Dioxin.
And yeah, well, and what a lot of people don't realize about Agent Orange is that it primarily consists of just two ingredients.
That's glyphosate and 2,4-D.
So glyphosate is the main ingredient of Agent Orange, or one of the top two ingredients.
And a lot of people know, well, that was a crime against the people of Vietnam.
That was a crime against humanity to spray that as a weapon.
Well, now they just spray it on the food crops in America.
And people get that stress.
I mean, We're living in a weaponized ecosystem of food and in some cases, medicine, in some cases, environmental toxins and heavy metals and all kinds of examples like that.
And no wonder it's so difficult for people to be healthy and maintain a healthy body weight.
Who wants to respond to that?
I just add a couple of things.
I mean, it's very personal.
One of my mentors, or I consider anybody who is knowledgeable, my mentor, but he'd done his time in Vietnam and he was exposed to Asian Orange.
And this guy was a functional doctor like I am.
That means we look at the whole body and not just drug pushes.
And unfortunately, he succumbed to cancer.
And I can only imagine it was the Agent Orange.
And so it's really personal.
And we actually have mechanisms.
So everything that Sean said was exactly right.
It's not what you know, it's what we don't know.
But what we do know is that, for example, glyphosate positively gives you leaky gut.
And it doesn't stop there.
If you have leaky gut, then the toxins, whether it's overgrowth of fungus, enter the bloodstream.
Or the overgrowth of bad bacteria like lipopolysaccharides enter the bloodstream.
Here begins the beginning of the blood-brain barrier.
What we call consider the gut barrier, when that is breached, you're now looking at the blood-brain barrier.
And now you see the gut-brain havoc, I would say.
Well, and then what you also have from that, you get these food sensitivities that cause all kinds of other problems.
It can be joint inflammation.
It can be diarrhea.
It can be neurological disorders because of a highly inflammatory molecule that doesn't belong in your blood that's getting in there.
So then autoimmune disorders can stem from this.
Dorn, this is your turn, but it's personal.
What Mike just said has happened to me.
I can never understand when a doctor says, you know, those food allergies, those sensitivities, they're nothing.
You know, they're not real.
When I eat gluten, my joints hurt.
When I was in my 30s, I had nodules on my knuckle when I knocked on the door when I would take some food for my mom.
It would hurt.
They're called hebens nodes, the kind of things you get for osteoarthritis.
And at that time, I wasn't fully aware, but basically, it's all really to gluten.
And after 20 more years, I'm still sensitive.
So I have to be careful.
I don't have celiac disease.
But so food is another type of not only sensitivity, I would call it inflammation.
Sean, I just have to butt in the take your turn and explain that.
Very personal to me.
Thank you for sharing that story.
And Sean, I want to ask you this question.
For those people watching, there's also a psychological shame that often goes along with being overweight and feeling like you're not worthy anymore because you don't have the body shape that you used to have when you were younger.
And there's a self-guilt that comes from thinking, oh, I don't have enough willpower to just endure the hunger.
And I'm here to tell people that's not necessary.
You don't have to live in shame or guilt.
You need the knowledge to understand that your body is just lacking a balance that will make these things much easier.
Sean, you want to talk about the psychological effects of that and why our message is not, you know, drill sergeant, you just need to be tougher and starve yourself.
That's not the right answer.
No, that's too hard on people.
And, you know, I think it just boils down to happiness and energy.
As simple as that sounds, say you're 200 pounds overweight and you have anxiety and you're depressed about it all and people aren't treating you right.
Well, if you could change, just swap out a few things that you're doing that you're putting in your body and all of a sudden within hours, within days, you say, you know what, I'm pretty happy and I've got some energy.
Now, what are you going to do with it?
Are you going to still listen to people?
Are you still going to be sulking because of A mean look, or are you just going to get to work on yourself if you're happy?
If you're miserable, if it's like a strict diet, or you get on one of these diet pills that comes from the venom peptides of the Gila monster, and now you've got your anxiety's worse, and your stress levels high, and you're trying to cut out, cut out the sugars and the gluten, and you're trying to do a new exercise.
You know, you can do, but you're suffering still.
So, we just want to help people address.
There's two or three major fronts.
Yes, one is food, but you can have fun.
I'm a cook, I cook, I'm creative, and it says a lot of it's about the sauces, a lot of it's about superfood snacks instead of junk food snacks.
A lot of people, they're all about the snacking, they're stuck at work for hours on end.
Can you just replace the junk with nutrient-dense foods?
If you do that alone, you kind of decrease your appetite so you're not starving when mealtime comes and you don't fly off the rails.
And then you go, you know what, I'm not starving.
He said, Don't eat gluten, he said, don't eat the seed oils.
All right, what are my other choices?
Oh, I can eat all of that, but all I have to do is make some sauce that doesn't have canola oil.
Hey, I can do that, and you're still happy, you're not upset and depressed, and you're not suffering the anxiety that's coming from aspartame and MSG and the stupid fake news, right?
Right, exactly.
Uh, Dr. Habib, you want to comment on that?
Uh, just uh, slightly on that, I think that in the medical profession is so easy to blame, especially when a doctor assumes that they're giving all the medicines and yet the patient's not getting results.
And they're judgmental that you know, do you're not doing the right stuff, there's something wrong with you.
And that's far from the truth because that's why insulin resistance is such a such a terrible state.
Because you could do all the right things and where your insulin levels are high.
Not only do you have an insulin problem where you can't burn fat, but leptin, which tells the brain I'm full after you eat, there's resistance there.
So, it really isn't your fault.
You can't register leptin because there's leptin resistance.
So, really, judgmental is really a prehistoric medicine, but unfortunately, it's not out of the medical system.
And I think that one of the easiest hacks to get your insulin sensitive, what that means is that for a little bit of insulin, it goes a long way.
That's insulin sensitivity.
Get your circadian rhythm in order.
It's free.
It's free.
Can I ask something quick?
Dr. Habib, when I hear and when most people hear insulin resistance, they think of diabetes, they think of people that are like borderline, diabetic, or diabetic.
Can you just explain in layman's terms to everyone what this really means to have the insulin resistance?
I mean, you kind of already did, but I just want to hear it in that regards because that's what goes right to your brain right away.
You hear that, and you're like, oh, I'm not diabetic, I don't really have to worry about that.
That's fantastic.
Thanks for stopping me there.
The bottom line is this: people with insulin resistance don't all end up with diabetes.
But if you have diabetes and you have insulin resistance, oh boy, you're going to have a hard time keeping that sugar under control.
In other words, if you're non-diabetic, you can still have insulin resistance.
What that means is that your sugar is normal, but the insulin is high.
When the insulin is high, that's the beginning of metabolic dysfunction at every level.
You have insulin receptors in the brain, you have insulin receptors in the blood vessels, you have insulin receptors in the heart and the liver.
And the definition of insulin resistance is to say that the receptor is being damaged.
So the insulin and the receptor don't come together properly.
There's a little bit more nuance, but let's keep it that way.
So, if the receptor is being damaged by inflammation or toxins or just eating too many carbs or breaking the circadian rhythm, it's scientifically proven that the high levels of insulin set off PCOS.
That's those hormonal abnormalities where periods go crazy irregular.
You have acne, hair thinning, and the weight is also a problem there.
So, when people say, What's the hormone?
The master hormone is insulin, not because of diabetes, as Sean correctly pointed out.
Insulin is one of the major hormone regulators.
Of course, you have growth hormone, you have thyroid hormone, you have testosterone, you have all those, but the insulin controls not only fuel at the cell level at every single organ that we just said.
That's why insulin resistance is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, decrease in memory, fatty liver.
So, almost every organ is impacted by insulin resistance.
I'm really glad you explained that, Dr. Habib.
I want to remind our audience that insulin, like every hormone, it's a signal.
It signals your tissues and cells what to do, which means that even in trace amounts, parts per trillion in some cases circulating in your blood can have dramatic effects on your body.
And if your body's not behaving the way that you want it to, the problem might simply be the signaling.
And how do you adjust the signaling?
Well, through the methods that we're talking about here, which are taught in this course.
So let me remind you: the course is free.
It's at brightyu.com.
It begins streaming September 13th.
It's called Holistic Weight and Stress Management.
And again, free to view.
Register at brightyu.com.
But here's the secret behind this course.
That title just only captures two things.
This approach is really a holistic, systemic, whole body, whole mind approach.
When you pursue the strategies that are taught in this course, you're going to experience systemic improvements across all kinds of things, including moods, including sleep quality, including virility, for example, including cognition.
And Dr. Habib, I'd like you to talk about cognition because right now, you know, we have artificial intelligence and there's never been a greater demand for human cognition to function well in order to remain competitive in our world today, including in medicine, because a lot of, you know, a lot of doctors are finding out that AI knows a lot about nutrition now, which is which is freaking out a few doctors.
Not you, but I mean, I've heard that from some other doctors who are like, what?
My patients are learning more about nutrition using free AI tools?
Oh my God.
But talk about cognition and how this can keep us mentally alert and sharp and creative.
100%.
I mean, this is becoming the new pandemic, that epidemic where cognitive decline is going on.
It's somewhat complicated, but let's talk about the major players.
You can't get away from inflammation.
But talking about metabolism and insulin resistance.
So you have insulin receptors in the nerve.
So bottom line is this.
When the insulin receptor is not working, fuel is not entering the cell.
Fuel that does not enter the cell cannot be metabolized.
The extreme version of that is the sugar sitting outside in the blood, it's higher and higher.
That's the definition of diabetes.
But the bottom line is all of these people with cognitive decline, they have one thing in common.
It's been measured.
They have low metabolism in the neurons.
Without fuel, those neurotransmitters are not working.
Without fuel, you're not detoxifying the beta amyloid and so forth.
And so one of the things I want to tell people is that the circadian rhythm is go see the light in the day.
When you start the day right, you might get a better chance at night.
And so when we get the right fuel in the brain, then you can detox during deep sleep.
When you go into delta sleep, your brain temperature comes down by 30 degrees, and that's when you can eliminate these toxins, these amyloids.
So really, it's a multifactorial thing.
Fuel is the root of it.
Getting the fuel into the cells in an effective manner, getting the circadian rhythm in order is prerequisite.
Yeah, I'm so glad you said that.
And like you said earlier, that's free.
And also, sunlight is free, at least until governments figure out a way to tax it.
Don't give anybody ideas in Canada.
They might figure out a way.
Sean, what else should people keep in mind about the benefits of what they're going to learn in this course?
I mean, we talked about many of the areas, including cognition, but what else are you hearing from people that are implementing these strategies?
Well, they're biohacking, and they might not know the term and they may not be familiar with what it's really about, but they're figuring out themselves and their lifestyle.
So we're not telling you this is not a one-size-fits-all.
And what we want to do is you have to make adjustments according to what's working for you.
So we may have five or ten strategies in one module, in one video training module, where you say, okay, that would definitely work for me.
I can try that and that.
Well, that may be enough.
And you may, you know, the second month, I call it transformation because you've optimized what you're doing, but then you feel the significant shifts.
You feel the shifts in energy and cognition and you feel the transformation.
So now you ramp up what you're doing.
So now you say, okay, this is the vitamin B12 is methylcobalamin.
I really like that.
He said, take it as a tincture.
Okay, this is really working for me.
All right.
He said, vitamin D when the sun's not hot, if I don't get outside, yes, this is working for me.
So then you ramp it up a little bit and you increase what's working for you.
You know, once you filter out the toxins, then your thinking gets straight.
Then your thinking's clear.
You know, I could be sitting watching a show in my chair for a half hour.
And if I think of some great idea or I want to do something productive, I want to hop up and lift some dumbbells.
I don't go, oh man, I guess I'll do that later.
I just hop up and do it.
Like it's ready.
It's waiting for me to apply my brain, to apply my body all day long because I'm treating myself right and I'm doing what works.
And that's what we're trying to do.
We're trying to let people know.
It's very practical.
It's not some regimen that you've never done and you've got to change everything you do.
I share that with you.
And I can't wait.
I mean, I just want to tell people, when you get the toxins out of your life and it brings back that surge in natural energy, that drive.
I can't wait to get off my desk.
Frankly, I can't wait to get out of the studio and get back to my forest kettlebell workout station.
It's in a little forest I have.
And I take my dog here and we go running or we cycle and then we hit the kettlebells and we do the push-up bars and everything.
I can't wait to do that.
It's like it's a vacation.
It's a treat.
And the other thing I'll mention is, you know, I was, what got me into health, by the way, Dr. Habib, you may not even know this, but three decades ago, plus, I was hypoglycemic.
I was borderline type 2 diabetic and I was overweight with chronic pain.
And my doctor at the time told me there's no relationship between what you eat and the health results that you get, which was a common belief among physicians in the 1990s and 1980s, et cetera.
Well, I've been drinking this for 20 plus years, this smoothie, avocados, you know, whey protein, you know, superfoods, turmeric, all kinds of things like this.
And also grapeseed extract is something I put in there recently as well.
So really high end.
And as a result, and this is, I'm not trying to brag or anything.
Just saying that cognitively, my brain works so well today.
It's the best it's ever worked in my life.
I could do like a whole semester of what I endured in college.
I could do a whole semester in one week now.
That the rate of learning is so much faster.
I can't even sit through a lecture.
It's too slow.
I have to exercise while I'm listening.
Like, it's the only way I can process it because it's so slow.
But folks, age does not make your brain wear out.
If your brain isn't working as well as it did in your 20s or 30s, if it's not working better than it did then, that's something that you can alter through these kinds of strategies.
I just want to put that up.
Dr. Habib, do you hear that from people too?
It's a great story, my friend.
And I think that's inspirational because it's real stories that make a difference.
And I think what do we all want?
We just want to wake up feeling clear-minded, some energy, no aches and pains and stiffness.
Our bowels are moving okay, no bloating.
And that's when you can enjoy life.
And so what we're describing here is the fact that simple steps can go a very, very long way.
And frankly, I think that the operative word is things interfering in our normal function.
We would age just fine and function just fine with our medications.
And what happens is these toxins are at the root of our lifestyle.
So, you know, I think, you know, if people just understood that, and when we're talking about detox, it's not a complicated medical intervention.
You just got to pay attention.
Are you drinking enough water and that you're urinating?
That's detox.
Are your bowels moving?
The stools are well formed.
That's detox.
And sweating.
Are you sweating?
Exactly.
And one of the main things I wanted to mention about the brain and the muscles is that the muscles feed the brain in so many ways that science is just figuring out now.
And one of the ways would be nitric oxide.
Nitric oxide is something that opens up the arteries and you can get it two ways.
As you exercise, just walking raises it.
More blood flow to the brain.
That's one way to get cognition.
That's one way to feel good.
The other one is your diet.
You eat your greens, that's your nitrate.
The bacteria make into nitrites.
You store it in your saliva.
When you swallow the saliva and the acid in the stomach, releases nitric oxide.
So nitric oxide is common to the gut and the blood vessels and the brain.
So exercise and diet is such an important part, but we don't need to call it diet.
Just take care of yourself and you'll find that.
I forgot to tell you, I use some days I put beet, beet juice powder in here for the nitric oxygen.
Grape seed extract.
Grape seed extract has that vasodilation capability as well.
Exactly.
But I always cycle the ingredients.
So I'm not doing the exact same thing every day.
I'm cycling ingredients because I know that's what the body really wants is a variety.
That's why your taste tells you to eat different things on different days.
It's a natural intelligence.
Dr. Habib, I have a question.
What is your practice area?
Well, I started as a conventional doctor in the UK.
And when I did my residency in Tufts University, I graduated, didn't know what to do, just thought I'd open a gym.
I knew what I didn't want to do, which is what every other doctor, but I really didn't know what I wanted to do.
It was a gym and an urgent care.
And somehow I somehow was watching and looking around and seeing that my, you know, the doctors practicing in a different way.
But what really got me was that is my practice and I wasn't curing diabetes, blood pressure, all those common stuff because I was well trained.
I knew what to do.
That's when I found functional medicine.
And so my background is really internal medicine, but I look to solve the root cause.
So when I say I treat somebody, I expect to cure it.
Now, I don't pretend to cure everything in the sun.
But when other doctors fail with neurodegenerative problems and when they've given up, those patients come to me.
When they're on autoimmune disease treatment number four and it's not working, they come to me.
When they have blockage after blockage, even after maximum medical treatment, they come to me.
So I do that with the complicated cases.
I do with the people that want to prevent it.
And certainly some people need to reverse it.
They may not have disease, but they're not functioning so great.
So men, women, young and old.
Well, that's very interesting.
But how do you handle the part where the patient has to take responsibility for their own diet and food choices and so on?
And some do and some don't.
But I would imagine that could be frustrating if you're trying to help a patient.
But they're like, no, I just want to eat donuts, but you fix me, doctor.
I have a lucky advantage, which is that by the time they've come through the door from word of mouth, they're kind of somewhat motivated.
But I think the winning formula that I think that most doctors who are successful are using, and the ones that are not, stop being judgmental.
You're there to help them.
Show it.
Give them good service.
Pay attention.
Give them the time.
And what happens, just like when you're dealing with your own children or other children, you get buy-in.
You're there to help them.
You're there to be a partner.
You're not the physician telling them what to do and be dictatorial.
And so I think it's all about relationships.
So medicine is beyond pathways and drugs and diagnosis and testing.
Medicine is about what Sean was saying, that it's about life.
Be happy, be balanced.
And we, in the medical world, haven't done a good job because we need to help people and not tell them or judge them.
Yeah, I think that's really wise.
And also just sort of meeting people where they are.
And sometimes a nudge in the direction of making healthier food choices can really work.
And I know, Sean, you've done a lot of research and writing in this area where someone could be encouraged to replace one thing in their diet for 30 days, just one thing.
And then that becomes a habit.
And then take a second thing, replace the soda, let's say.
You talk about that for a moment, Sean.
We're almost out of time, but that's my last question to you.
Yeah, I mean, start off with gluten because what happens with gluten is it stops up your, you got 35 feet of intestines, okay?
And an Americanized gluten has all of these crazy chemicals and preservatives to keep it soft.
So it's going, it's going through that snake for days, okay?
So now let's say I eat a bunch of organic food.
I'm like, okay, I had my sub roll and my hot dogs and hamburgers for Labor Day.
I'm going to eat clean this week.
But if you're constipated all week, guess what?
All of that organic food is going to rot in your body.
You're still going to be toxic.
And so I avoid gluten at all costs.
The pasta, the bread, anything gluten.
I'm like, I avoid it at all costs.
Once in a while, sure.
But if I eat gluten, it's organic.
And then canola oil.
See, this is one of the most hidden toxins in the world is canola oil.
Because even if it's organic, it coagulates in your system.
So it causes rapid weight gain.
It causes memory loss.
They've proven it in studies with rats.
They've proven it.
They lose their way.
So if you're not filtering out the major toxins, if you just a few swaps and you'll notice right away, hey, now like Dr. Habib said, my poop's regular.
Oh my gosh, I feel so much better.
If I can sit down on the toilet and just go and be done with it in two minutes, oh my gosh.
I met a raw foodist once.
She said, if you're wiping a lot, you're doing it wrong.
You know, so.
Well, and I'm glad you mentioned canola oil and the seed oils and so on.
But I'll say I've never had a problem with gluten, but I'm highly sensitive to MSG.
And I always have been.
So, and that speaks to the personalization factor in all of this, right, Dr. Habib?
And so we have to be sensitive and we have to listen to our bodies.
And then we have to do a little bit of biohacking.
I call it natural biohacking.
That is try different experiments, find out what works, find out what results, what gives you the best results.
And then as long as that's natural and aligned with your health goals, continue to expand that.
And that's wise.
But you got to listen to your body too.
Dr. Habib?
Yeah, look, wise words.
So try to keep it simple.
If you have a diet working for you, keep it.
If you've got an exercise plan working for you, keep it.
One thing is for sure, whatever is working today, it's impossible to keep working forever because your body will change.
Number one.
Number two, Mike said it best, diversify.
Just like the microbiome is looking for diversification of food, which it uses as fuels to have diverse microbes, becoming allowing you to be healthy and lower inflammation.
So I think vary your lifestyle and balance is the key.
Absolutely.
All right.
Well, we're out of time, but this has been a really fascinating conversation, very informative.
