Hey guys, well, I'm here with my favorite doctor, Dr. Mark Sherwood here today.
And guess what I just got?
It is a giant box of the Kingdom Crunch cereal.
His new line of cereal called Kingdom Crunch in this particular flavor is acai bowl.
And let me tell you, it is so, so, so, so, so tasty and delicious.
But besides from it being so tasty, I have Dr. Sherwood here to tell us why it's so good for you too and why it's so amazing and should be in everyone's cupboard.
So what's up with this incredible cereal that you sent me that I can't stop eating, Dr. Sherwood?
Well, many times when we hear the word cereal, we think unhealthy, poisonous chemical carcinogenic.
Shouldn't be eating it.
That is quite the opposite.
High protein, zero added sugars, organic ingredients, and healthy fats such as medium train triglycerides.
Deanna, that should be in everyone's cupboard, in every child's mouth, every day.
That is truly healthy and life-giving for kids.
I recommend it all the way.
Not because I made it, but because it solves a real problem in today's world.
Excuse me, I can't stop eating it, but I gave it to my son Maverick, who also loves cereal, but I don't want him to eat cereal except for this.
This is really, really good.
It's really tasty.
It actually tastes like real acai in your mouth.
And it's packed full of all these nutrients and no sugar, right?
No added sugar.
That's insane.
How is it so sweet then?
Yeah, we use stebia, punk fruit, and some allulose there, all of which, get this, are diabetic friendly.
They won't raise blood sugar, which is another benefit.
I've had people ask me, can I eat that if I'm diabetic?
Yes, you can, and you can fix your diabetes.
Yay, awesome.
Well, this is so good.
Where can everybody find this Kingdom Crunch cereal?
They can find it at Sherwood.tv forward slash shots and use your discount code to promo code shots.
Promo code SHOTS and they can save some money off there and support your program.
Absolutely.
All right, go to Sherwood.tv promo code SHOTS and pick up this delicious Kingdom Crunch cereal today.
Welcome back to Shots Fired with Deanna Lorraine.
Well, as you guys all know, who've watched me extensively, we have talked so much ad nauseum about the war on people and our health, our human health, via our food sources, our food supply, our water supply, big pharma, and everything in between.
We've known for decades now, anyone who's awake at least, that there's been a war on our health.
So much so that RFK has decided to make his mission to make America healthy again by at least attempting to make a dent in removing so many of the things that are killing us and poisoning us via our food supply, our water supply, our products, our drugs, et cetera.
But what most people don't really understand or aren't privy to is what about the war on our pets?
Believe it or not, there is a war on our pets as well, our animals, and what most people that have some furry friends calls or fur babies calls are best friends.
And we kind of take for granted the fact that we feed our dogs or our cats or our pets food that we get from the stores, often big chain stores or even Amazon.
We give them products, we give them toys, but we don't really think to wonder how are those foods and products actually affecting our pets?
Are pets possibly even living shorter lives or less quality lives due to the quality of those foods or products?
There are many diseases and ailments now happening with our pets, and they might Be actually living a shorter amount of time now than they were ever before.
And I don't know about you, but for those who've been watching my show for a while, I love the hell of my pug, Layla.
She's the best dog ever.
I want her to live right on cue.
I want her to live as long as possible and have the best and healthiest, happiest life as possible.
It really means a lot to me.
And for all of you pet owners out there, I know who you are.
I want to have the same for you.
So I'm so excited to bring on our friends, the owners of Pet Club 24-7, to talk about this and to talk about their mission, why they decided to found Pet Club 24-7 and how their products and foods are so much more unique and authentic than anything else that you can really get out there on the market.
And truly, why they're helping animals and our best friends live longer and more healthier, happier lives.
And so without further ado, let's bring on the owners, the founders of Pet Club 24-7.
Guys, thank you so much for joining us.
We really appreciate it.
First of all, to give a little bit of an introduction for you guys and your background.
You look beautiful, by the way.
I love your background right behind you.
Thank you so much.
And thank you for showing us Sweet Layla.
She is truly an angel.
They bring us so much joy.
And that's why we're so passionate about being a voice for them and speaking up for them.
And like you said, it is a war.
So we're tired of it.
And we're just fighting back and pushing back and getting things back to how they are.
My name's Kristen Ludlow.
This is my husband, Kurt Ludlow.
And it's a passion job for you, too, obviously.
100% a passion project.
We feel completely called and convicted to be doing what we're doing because we've seen the suffering.
We've all experienced it.
We've all been, pets are living half as long as they used to.
This is something that's been happening for a while.
And I just want to backtrack for the cheap seats in the back.
You said that pets have been living half as long as they used to.
I mean, that's a big statement right there.
So the fact that, you know, when we think dog years, they're supposed to, you know, they live till five or 10 or maybe 12 years old.
That's normal.
Is that not really normal, actually?
Not what we're finding now when they have that right nutrition and that proper immune support that they need.
It's not uncommon for us to see them living to 17, 18, 19, 20, 24 in some instances.
These are dogs that we're talking about.
So, you know, we're really discovering now what's possible when we do something different, when we realize the core of what's been happening and we do things differently.
We're getting much more different results.
And my husband can share with you the story about how we got into this field in the first place because we always loved animals, but it's a really, what God has done and just the way things have happened has been nothing short of a miracle.
And it's been something that we're just so grateful to be a part of.
So you want to share?
Oh, that's so cute.
Yes.
I'd love to hear how you guys got into this in the first place.
You know, going back to what Kristen said in the early 70s, you know, the average age of a golden retriever was 17 and that average age is nine.
And it all comes to the foods, treats, toys they're ingesting.
And a lot of it comes down to the things they're walking on and licking, but the majority comes from those reasons.
And that's really a lot behind of what we are doing.
But something that was brought to our attention was a mushroom.
And just to give you some background on this, is our partner here with a company, Simon Liu.
His mother, this was almost 28 years ago, was experiencing a very severe issue in her lungs.
She was attending Sloan Kettering out in New York.
And they did everything medically they could to help her out.
Nothing worked.
And they gave her just a couple months to live.
So he was doing like any son would do, reaching out to friends and family members regarding her circumstances.
And his cousin in Japan, who was involved in the medical arena out there, said, look, I'm going to send something to you.
It's just a mushroom and a capsule.
He said, we have a proprietary way we extract it.
And what it does is it just supports the immune system.
You know, give it to her.
Let's just see if it might help her in any way.
And sure enough, after the first 30 days, she noticed quite a difference in the way she was feeling.
Month two, even more improvement.
Month three, felt as if there was no issue.
She goes back to Sloan Kettering four and a half months after they sent her home, and they find that issue to be completely gone.
Now, yeah, they were flabbergasted over it.
They asked her what she was doing.
She explained.
They asked for all the information they could get regarding it.
And that is where the first clinical study started here in the United States.
And then MD Anderson, the American Cancer Society, Loma Linda, Harvard, it's been published in the Library of Medicine many times.
And what they concluded was it didn't cure, mitigate, or prevent, but what it specifically does is it modulates the immune system.
It gets working optimally again.
And if you can get it working optimally, it's capable of resolving any type of issue.
So he would go out, he would tell anyone that would listen to his story about his mother, and people would start getting on this.
And not just people that were sick, but people that didn't want to get sick and be proactive.
And the craziest stories started coming to him as to what it was doing for different people.
And so for years after reaching back to his cousin and saying, look, how can I bring this in?
Let me control it throughout the U.S. and all of South America, because it's taking people three weeks to get it from you out of Japan.
He gave the right to that.
And today, Pet Club is the only source to get this.
Now, how did it become Pet Club?
Well, eight years ago, our other partner, Steve and our other partner, Gino, both lost their dog within two months of each other.
And two of their children did between ages four and eight due to cancer.
And having this mushroom, knowing what it did for humans, we started looking into it and we noticed that there was so much data involving how safe this was for animals.
And so not only knowing that, but wondering what's going on, because we knew what was happening on the human side, we knew the same thing was going on with our animals.
And it's more loosely regulated, if you can believe that.
And they are putting all types of different things, toxins, metals, it doesn't matter what it is into the foods, treats, and toys.
Not all the time being malicious by any means.
It's just the way that they're doing it to keep the cost down and bringing in, you know, sourcing things in from other countries, some of the ingredients, full of toxins, metals, you name it, it's unbelievable.
And we found the real root cause as to what's going on, just like us with people.
And it made us mad.
And we're fighting back in a big way because we all love our animals the way that we do.
It's been tremendous.
That's huge.
That's really exciting to hear.
Now, you know, especially that you kind of had like this innovative approach.
I mean, I don't know any other pet club or pet company that uses this particular mushroom in their products or in their foods, but you swear by it.
Was that like, you know, it feels a little bit risky.
Okay, we're going to try it.
We tried this in humans.
It worked so well.
Now we're going to try this in dogs.
Were you scared at all or, you know, how it would go over?
Or it, you know, it went over so well, you said, well, let's just duplicate these results.
Well, at the very beginning, we found a really great study done by the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Care.
And they had given the Coriolis versicolor mushroom to dogs with hermangiosarcoma, which is a very aggressive form of cancer.
And they found that the dogs that were on the Coriolis versicolor mushroom lived over twice as long as the dogs that were not.
And that's when we knew it was not only safe for them, but it was actually beneficial.
And when we, it's so funny because we were like, we don't want to give dogs, you know, pills or a supplement.
How much fun it is to give them medicine.
Let's, let's like bake it into treats or let's, you know, let's make a handmade gravy.
We can just mix with their food.
And then that way they're getting a treat.
They think like, yeah, I get a cookie.
But really what they're getting is the Coriolis versicolor mushroom and other naturally sourced supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin and yeah, and keratin to help their hips and their joints, because that's another thing that we're seeing so much chronic arthritis and so many this new phenomenon that's happening where their back legs just stop working and they're crawling around the house.
It's horrible.
That is terrible.
You know, let's just put it all together and we have these little biscuits called mush puppies.
Like, let's see what'll happen.
And, you know, it was absolutely amazing when we started giving them to dogs.
It's all human greed whole foods and human greed kitchens.
I'm certified in nutrition.
And one of the rules that I have is if it's not something that I'm willing to eat myself or put in my own mouth, I don't give it to my pet.
I think we all live by, right?
And the same vice versa.
If it's not something we would give our pet, like soda or something, maybe we should.
Yeah, that's very true.
But, you know, so we started giving it to dogs and the same thing started happening.
We have some dear friends who posted on social media.
This was just a few days after we got the mush puppies in our home for our own pets.
And they had posted on social media that they were sad that they were going to have to say goodbye to their husky who was almost 15 years old.
Wow.
Can you tell the story?
Because he tells it.
He happened to be a very friend of mine.
And so he posts on social media.
I had to put his best friend down.
I called him immediately.
I said, what's going on?
He goes, look, she's had this autoimmune issue.
You're aware of it for the last several years.
But in the last year, it's become so bad that she stepped on pavement or cement.
Her pop has it peeled off.
And he said, even the tile in our home, she has issues with it.
And he goes, very sad.
And he goes, we dealt with it for, you know, this last year, but in the last month, it's become so bad that he goes, her eyes are all whited over, crystallized over.
She's been running into stuff.
He goes, her hair is coming out in clumps.
He said, she's got seven bumps down her side.
And he goes, to be fair, the vet didn't diagnose him as cancerous, but the vet believes that they probably are.
He said, two are the size of his fist.
And he said, you know, she's 14.
She's a husky.
They normally live to be 12.
And I said, well, still eating.
He goes, she is.
And I said, I said, well, listen, I want to bring something to you.
Let's have her try it.
Are you open to that?
He goes, we're open to anything.
And he starts giving it to her.
And here's a call I get four days later.
His name's Kurt, just like mine.
I see him call.
I'd say, hey, Kurt.
He goes, what did you give my dog?
Oh, my gosh.
He said it in a way, a tone he had not used with me before.
Like, oh, no.
Magic mushroom.
Hey, right, right.
He goes, Zenta just jumped on the couch next to me.
And I said, that's amazing.
And he goes, you don't understand.
She has not done this in over a year and a half.
He goes, do you think it's this mushroom?
And I said, there's no, you know, I said, I can't tell you yes or no, one way or the other.
But I said, are you doing anything different?
He goes, we're not.
He goes, it has to be this.
And so every day he gives it to her.
He knows they notice improvements.
Soon she's going to the restroom on her own.
Wow.
Around 30 days, the paw pads had no problems anymore.
The crystallization completely cleared up and he felt like she was seeing a lot better.
And then, of course, the lumps after six to eight months completely gone.
And Zenta lived another four and a half, almost five years.
She lived to be almost 20.
Now she isn't that crazy.
She didn't pass away due to illness either.
It was actually sadly an accident that occurred.
And there was another husky in their neighborhood that they would walk with occasionally.
And that husky was not ill, but he was older than Zenta.
He started taking the mushroom and lived to be almost 23.
And these are the stories that are happening.
It's just taking the immune system and doing amazing things.
And so, yeah, it's been really incredible.
And, you know, when that's your very, when that's your very first experience, you think, oh, my goodness, what are the odds?
Like, what a fluke.
And it really hits your heart.
And I remember us looking at each other and being like, wow, God is doing something so special.
If we can just help one more animal have a recovery like that, then all of our efforts would be worth it.
If we could just help one more.
And then one after another, dogs, cats, horses, just over and over and over.
We were seeing these changes and these differences.
And many times, just about a week or so is when they were noticing, you know, our brother-in-law's dog, Batman.
He calls us, Batman's running up and down the stairs.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, they got their spunk back.
Yeah, they're like puppies again and having fun and playing and just being Their old self, and you can tell they're not suffering anymore.
You can tell that they're feeling better.
And so, we've realized really quickly what we had our hands on.
This is a really pure and potent strain of this mushroom.
And we've perfected the extraction process that really harnesses the potency of it.
And you can see the difference in the animals so much so that after a couple of years, even people were like watching their pets do these recoveries.
Wait a minute.
I have this.
I have that.
You know, they don't know what a placebo is.
They have no clue there's a mushroom in the cookie that I'm giving them.
That's true.
Yeah.
It doesn't.
Like, they're not going to trick themselves into thinking that it works.
And so they started asking, well, where, how do we like, should we start?
Well, it's funny that we were like, it's funny that you asked because we tested it on humans first before we were found out it was safe for animals.
Right.
And it did it backward.
Yeah.
So we could have it.
We can each some nibbles out of the hush puppy too, you're saying.
If you want, but we also add, we also added those capsules onto the, you know, as part of what we offered as well, so that people could feel better too and live well and have, take better care of their pets, because it's hard to take care of things when you don't feel well.
Exactly.
Very much.
We get that immune support.
It just changes everything for a whole household.
Absolutely.
Mailman, she's barking at, but, or maybe too.
She's very excited to try your products.
That's probably the real reason why she's barking.
But I love what you said about if you wouldn't personally eat that food, why would you have your best friends, your dogs do it?
Your fur babies eat that food.
And so much of the time, you know, we've kind of gotten normalized to the fact that there's dog food and then there's human food.
We'll eat human food, but if you, you know, the thought of dog food, like, ew, don't eat dog food.
It's like, it sounds like you would do that like on a dare to someone or, you know, you're, you're forcing someone to do it as like the lowest of the low type of thing.
Oh, eating dog food.
Well, when you really think about it, gosh, that's horrible.
You're having our best friends, our fur babies, eat dog food every day.
What's so wrong with it that us humans wouldn't eat it?
That's wrong in and of itself.
So obviously the ingredients are terrible.
They use usually horrible byproducts.
And a lot of times it's not even real food inside that dog food.
You know, it's a lot of fluff, but yet we're feeding it to the animals, the things that we love most in life.
So you have the ingredients in your products and in your toys that are safe, that are organic, the kinds of things that we humans should be eating too.
And if we're getting so sick as humans with diabetes and cancers and a host of other issues with the food that we're ingesting through fast food and horrible products and food dyes and byproducts, then it's obvious that our pets, the same thing is happening with our pets, with cheap, low-quality foods, products, and toys.
So we need to start thinking differently about our pets.
And we need to start, you know, if we're awake enough to understand there's a war on humans, we got to be awake enough to understand that war on our pets too and do something about it.
It's so well said.
You know, all our ingredients, nothing is all sourced and made right here in the U.S. Amazing.
Human grade Whole Foods, which is key.
You know, Whole Foods are for us as well.
And so Whole Foods, no animal byproducts.
You know, if you see animal byproducts in any packaging, get rid of it quick.
It's finding a euthanization drug in it.
They're finding toxins and metals and definitely the ingredients coming from other countries are full of that in most cases.
The animal byproducts could include euthanized animals, roadkill.
Animals that are too sick for consumption get sold to pet food manufacturers at a discount.
And so I always encourage people, if it says animal byproducts, I recommend getting rid of it because it could potentially be toxic for your pet.
You don't know what type of meat is in it.
Yeah.
Well, I'm super excited about your company.
It just sounds like really a dream come true and the solution that a lot of people are, you know, looking to have with our best friends.
I've searched far and wide for foods for my picky pug and for things that she'll not only find tasty and eat, but that are actually good for her.
And it's been a, she's only three, but she is picky, but it's been a long road.
And to be honest, I want her to live as long as possible.
So are your products things that especially the mushroom, I can start giving her now, like preventative, not just when she's sick, you're saying, right?
Like it's proactive.
It will help her actually not, it will help her stay healthy and prevent these kinds of ailments.
Yes, it is always better to be proactive than reactive and not even get to that point where you have to make those tough decisions.
And the way that this, like Kurt said, this is not a cure for anything.
It's no different from eating a mushroom on a salad.
It's just whole food, but it's a food that feeds the immune system.
And the immune system is the body's first defense against everything, small things like the colds and the viruses and infections, all the way up to the most serious concerns and the most catastrophic things that the body can deal with.
The immune system is always going to be that armor, that first defense, that soldier that's fighting, you know, to get all, keep all the bad stuff out and regulate all the good stuff inside.
And so when we keep that immune system supported from when they're young and when they're small, it just, it's so much better for them and their quality of life moving forward.
And, you know, RFK Jr. said that disease is brewing in the body long before the symptoms ever present themselves.
And so that's something we always want to keep in mind is that if we can keep that immune system supported and be feeding it the food that it needs to do what it was intelligently designed to do, then we can keep those things at bay way before they ever actually affect our pets or even ourselves.
Yeah.
Amazing.
So cool.
I'm excited to try your products and have our beautiful pug, Layla, do that.
Where can everybody find you?
And any last words, by the way, too.
And of course, where can everybody find you and follow you and buy your incredible products?
Yeah.
So the link should be posted with the video that people can go to.
You can get everything online.
And like I said, we have options for dogs and cats and horses and even people.
And it's always based off of the weight.
So the suggested amount will always be based off the weight.
But if you do have a pet that's dealing With something that maybe is a concern, but not a serious concern, then we usually recommend to double that suggested amount just at first for like the first 30 days to help get their immune systems really going.
If they're dealing with something that's very serious, we recommend three times that suggested amount just at first until the body gets everything under control.
Then they can go down to the normal amount.
But we're very confident regardless what they're going through, that can be really helpful for them.
Their body knows how to metabolize it and we'll know what to do with it.
Awesome.
That's really, really exciting.
Yeah, it does seem like dogs' bodies are almost more intelligent than ours in a lot of ways.
They have a lot of different mechanisms and ways and instincts that their bodies kind of do know what to do with it.
They do.
Well, we have our own maha movement and it's make animals healthy again as well.
Yeah.
Make animals healthy again.
I love that.
Well, cool.
I can't wait to try your products.
I'm going to get Layla.
I meant Layla, not me, but I might have a nibble too, but I'll have Layla trying your products.
And we're super excited to hopefully share some amazing results soon with our audience.
So thank you guys for what you're doing.
And thank you for your mission.
Not enough people, I think, are really have their heart in the right place and care about the Maha movement for our pets as they do for humans.
So I applaud your work.
Thank you.
And likewise to you.
You know, we are fully behind what you guys are doing.
And we've been right along this path for years and years.
And, you know, just you doing what you do, the sacrifices that you guys have to do to get the word out to people like us to give us the knowledge we need.

Why is Kingdom Fuel so much better than a lot of other supplements and nutritional supplements out there?
Because this is a really, really good shake.
My favorite, by the way, is the vanilla, but I've got the vanilla and the chocolate.
Well, Kingdom Fuel is not just a protein shake.
It has organic pea protein, full spectrum, full amino acid profile, 20 grams of protein, but it's also got added to it greens and reds.
A lot of people buy those separately.
It's got vitamins and minerals and soluble and insoluble fiber.
That is a complete meal and it's under $5 per serving.
And people use three scoops.
Guess what?
Most people don't.
They use one or two.
So you're talking about a full, complete meal.
And the shelf life is two years if you don't open it.
Pretty cool.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
And if we're in any kind of apocalypse, we can pretty much eat this all day in a cereal and be really, really healthy.
All right, cool.
And guys, you can find the Kingdom Fuel Line of Products at Dr. Sherwood's website, of course, Sherwood.tv, and use promo code shots to get 30% off.

I love this shake.
It's amazing, great, and keeps me healthy.
Welcome back to Shots Fired, and we are in like skin.
Today, because it is approaching summer very fast, very quickly, and excitedly, I'm excited.
I'm always excited about summer, but summertime often means skin issues, dry skin or flaky skin or sunburned skin, aging skin.
It's the time of the year typically when we're showing more skin, but either way, it's something that a lot of people start noticing and we start feeling like we want to improve, especially women, but men too, especially nowadays.
Men are starting to notice their skin more and feeling like they want to improve it more.
Skin, whether subconsciously or consciously, whether we realize it or not, it's one of the things that we notice most about people when we find them attractive or not attractive, when we find them to be a good mate or not, and gasp when we see, when we think about their age, what do we tend to look at subconsciously or consciously, their skin?
It helps us kind of determine, are they in their 20s?
Are they in their 30s?
Are they in their 80s?
So if we can kind of find a hack to look younger with our skin or to have our skin look better, then we tend to look a lot younger and more attractive.
Now, I had the pleasure of hanging out with my favorite doctor over the weekend, Dr. Mark Sherwood, who is also our resident doctor over here at the Stu Peters Network in Shots Fired.
But they were over in Austin For a conference, and we got to hang out in person for a while.
And his beautiful wife, his counterpart, and I hadn't actually met her in person yet.
And I got to say that her skin is so beautiful, and his is too, by the way, very beautiful, too.
But something I noticed very quickly when I first met her is her skin is just gorgeous.
Her face, it's there.
I don't think there's any wrinkles on her face or anything.
Pictures don't do it justice.
But in person, her skin is just really flawless and looks so young.
I was surprised.
And maybe our doctor could share her age or an age range.
But when I found out her age range, I was really surprised because she looks decades younger.
So I want to talk about what is the best ways to improve our skin, especially as we head into summer.
What are some ways that we can look younger via our skin?
How we can treat our skin better and have it be all around healthier and kind of look potentially kind of rewinding the clock there.
So without further ado, let's bring in our resident doctor, Dr. Mark Sherwood.
So great to have you and so great hanging out with you in person in Texas over the weekend.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
That was awesome.
That made our weekend just topped off perfectly.
The cherry on top.
Yeah, it was just great.
We had the Deanna on top right there.
It was wonderful.
It made it special.
And it was really an honor to meet you and hang out with you in person.
Definitely.
You too.
And I didn't want to undermine you very, by the way, your skin is great too.
Both of you, you know, I couldn't put in a, you're maybe pushing 35 or 40.
Yeah, it's funny.
You know, we get that a lot, but especially my wife, you know, my, my, not my spare rib, but my prime rib.
You know, you can see why now.
Right.
But the skin is something that can have a glow to it or can have a kind of a dead feeling to it, right?
It's both.
And people see that, you know, and they're like, wow.
But her skin is very, well, it is pretty flawless.
I'm in my 60s and she is pushing 60s.
Wow.
I wouldn't have guessed.
I really wouldn't have guessed that.
Not just, you know, blowing smoke up your Wahoo.
Not trying to butter your buns.
But for real, though, you guys take very good care of your skin and it shows.
And when we, you know, I think I'm probably right when I say I think people either knowing, I think it's at an unconscious level.
We kind of guess somebody's age based on their skin, you know, like how, you know, kind of the elasticity of it.
Is it glowing?
Is it look like dead?
Does it have any color to it?
And all of those things, don't you think from a doctor's point of view are largely things that we have control over, like things that we could be doing with our diet, with our skincare regimen, et cetera?
Yeah, a thousand percent I do.
I think people should be caring for their skin better because ultimately the skin is the largest organ.
We need to remember that.
It's the largest organ.
It is both a barrier and it's also something that selectively lets things in and out.
So it's a pretty cool barrier, if you will, to our country.
We used that analogy before, you know?
And it's important to care for that.
And I think that a good color is good.
Obviously, the lessened appearance of wrinkles are good.
And just the glow is good.
Okay.
So, and yes, I agree with you on those things.
Now, when we talk about care for our skin, there's a couple things that I've, you know, that I know that you rave a lot about and talk a lot about.
One are supplements, for instance, fish oil.
And another is this beautiful product in my hand, copper peptides.
And I kind of want to talk about this one first, just because it's right in my hand right now.
And what, what, like, can I tell our audience a little bit about what is it and why it's so beneficial for our face, for our skin?
Well, I've got mine here in my hand too, because I knew we were going to talk about skin.
And you were surprised when I came on with mine in my hand.
Yeah, and I'm like, what?
So this is a two peptide blend that we put together in a compounding lab.
It contains two different peptides.
The first one is called GHK copper.
GHK copper, it's a tripeptide.
And then we've got, or meaning three amino acids.
Then we've got the second peptide, which is called BPC157, and it is a 15-chain amino acid.
So we put those together in this really unique cream, and it's easy to apply.
Put it on your face at night.
You can do it more than once a day.
Yeah, it's very silky to the touch, by the way.
It doesn't feel thick or like cloggy or anything.
It is very silky and smooth.
I was turned on to even a different purpose for this that's fascinating, talking about skin hair.
It was as an aftershave.
And that made a lot of sense.
And so I have been using that as well as an aftershave.
And I've told ladies as well, when you shave your legs, et cetera, put on your legs.
And I have gotten some really good reports from that as well.
So it can make, because, you know, again, this cost, this could be like two hours long conversation.
But so a lot of aging, you know, so many women and men, we care so much about our face.
And then our face might look younger with a bunch of different skincare regimens, but then we forget about like this area kind of looks aging or our leg, our arm, you know, skin looks sort of sagging or aging.
So are you saying that something like copper peptides could also make our the rest of our body not look, you know, look younger as well?
Yes, you could literally take a bath in it.
I mean, it's that safe.
It's that effective.
And if people don't know this, this is fascinating.
So the skin has really about three little layers.
One is the epidermis or the outer layer.
And then you've got the middle layer called the dermis.
And you've got this hypodermis or subdermis layer.
And then you get down in the subcutaneous area and the fat area and the muscle.
But the interesting thing about this is why do we wrinkle?
A lot of people don't know this.
They think wrinkling is not what you think it is, folks.
Like wrinkly is just a normal part of aging or something.
Yeah.
On the epidermis, think about that as the top of the soil, so to speak.
The dermis contains this collagen factor that's driven by something called fibroblast.
That's also where we have the elasticity called Elastin.
So you have fibroblast, elastin, and collagen in that dermis layer.
When that dermis layer begins to collapse as we age, the soil collapses.
So the wrinkle is not really something from the outside in, it's something from the inside out.
Okay.
So you have to fill that back up.
How do you fill it up?
With the GHK BPC peptide cream because it establishes brand new fibroblastic activity to generate collagen and it causes your elastic to tighten back up again.
It really is amazing.
And, you know, the Hollywood skincare products are like enormously expensive.
This is not.
And so this is something that's really doable for everybody.
And we recommend it for literally every person out there.
It's been that useful.
And it like we could put one time a day on our face?
You sure can.
Like before bedtime or in the morning time or what would you recommend as far as you know the regimen goes?
Well there's there's a couple different applications but I think the one that's most consistent for ladies out there is once you remove the makeup, typically ladies will put like a cleaner on, clean your face, put the copper cream on, the PPC cream, and just sleep with it.
Okay.
And it really is the best way because you've got nothing that's inhibiting at that point the absorption.
I've also seen people use it when they've been out in the sun and things like that to sort of soothe and ease some of the sun, you know, the heat aspect of that.
And that also can prevent sun damage on skin as well.
Okay, good.
And you notice like reduction of wrinkles, kind of smoothing of discoloration, overall signs of aging with this?
Yes.
A lot of people also have used it recently for the, you know, the microderm abrasion, you know, the little needles.
You can actually put peptide cream on your face and do the microneedling to it.
Oh, cool.
We have done that.
My wife and I have a little microneedling machine that we'll do, you know.
So it's kind of cool that you can do it.
And if you're really, really good at it and you can do it in the same way, you know, like in the crow's feet over here, you can take a little bit of insulin needle and you can inject a little bit there.
Whoa, okay.
I know.
A little bit of science there.
Gabby.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that's this.
So this is definitely one remedy.
And you do have this on your website, right?
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
Cool.
And we're going to, we'll talk about how to get that in a minute.
And then you talk a lot about fish oil.
Would you say fish oil is another one of those supplements that is essential for keeping, you know, for anti-aging with your skin or helping improve the appearance of aging symptoms in your skin?
I do.
I think fish oil is outstanding.
The oil in our skin tends to dry out with age.
And obviously we all know what dry, crepey skin looks and feels like.
It doesn't look healthy and it's certainly not healthy.
I know that I don't, there's something wrong with my health, not to interrupt you, but like I'm like, if I look in the mirror and my skin looks creepy, crepey, creepy and colorless, I know I'm doing something wrong.
I'm like, I'm not getting enough sleep or I'm having a bad couple of weeks or something because you can really shows in your skin.
It does.
And, you know, Mary, back in the olden days, you know, the doctor would come to your house and he would say, let me look at you.
And first thing he's looking at your face.
I mean, looking for, they're looking for color.
They're looking for paleness.
They're looking for flushing.
They're looking for bloodshot eyes and just things of that nature.
But it does tighten skin overall.
It does provide a more youthful look.
Study upon study upon study.
And people can look this up.
GHK copper and BPC peptides.
You're going to find all kinds of studies out there, even in America, about the benefits of using this and how it can restructure the collagen and tighten skin and make you look younger.
Amazing.
Okay, cool.
And fish oil, that's another supplement that we want to make sure that we're religiously taking good quality fish oil.
Yeah, yeah.
I meant to touch on that too.
We need three grams of fish oil.
And people say, well, what is three grams?
It's 3,000 milligrams.
And in the three grams, you want to have roughly three parts to two parts, EPA or DHA.
Now, this is important because a lot of people buy a fish oil product and it's got a little bit of EPA, a little bit of DHA, and a whole bunch of other fish oil.
That's not what you want.
You want the essential omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA specifically, because they help with heart and brain health, but they also help with this thing called skin health, you know, and they are wonderful.
I've also had people, a little cheat code here, use a little beef tallow on their face, a little bit of coconut oil on their face.
That can also work very good for a moisturizer.
It's a little more wet looking, I would say, and it's not going to rebuild the skin like what I've talked about, but it does provide a remoisturization of that as well.
It works outstanding.
And one more little thing we'd mentioned is vitamin A is really good too.
It's kind of a barrier health, you know.
And so a lot of times with both vitamin A and omega-3s, I'll check those in a test.
And it's not unusual to see A be deficient.
And I never see omega-3s anything but deficient unless they're supplemented.
And how much vitamin A should we be consuming every day via a supplement form?
Most people know it as international units or something like that.
5,000 or so is about right.
Some people might look at the retinal forming units, and you're looking at probably 400 of that.
Okay.
And now I live in Texas, and I go between Texas and Florida typically throughout the year, sometimes California, where I'm from.
So we're talking about sometimes 110 degree days here over the summer.
Should we be consuming even more water during these hotter days?
You know, they say eight glasses of water a day is what we should be consuming to keep our skin healthy, but should we be even, you know, consuming more than that, would you say?
Well, we should, especially based upon how much we perspire as well.
Remember that the skin is producing perspiration to cool down the skin.
But a lot of times when we get a bunch of perspiration or sweat going on, we lose the moisture behind it.
So if you're sweating, that's probably a good thing they used to say.
If you're not, it's probably not a good thing.
So hydration is important.
And I know we're not talking about, you know, specific waters, but the utilizing the molecular hydrogen as your key points of hydration reduces the oxidative stress on the skin as well.
So there's all kinds of little tools and tricks and they all kind of connect with each other.
Amazing.
Very cool.
Well, thanks for explaining that to me because as we go into summer, I want to have my skin look my best and I'm sure everybody else does too.
And it's not just a female thing, by the way.
I mean, men should have their, should care about their skin looking the best too, because we do see that as a sign of good health and attractiveness and vitality.
Yeah, you know, when you look at someone and we can't help it, it's human nature.
You make a first impression and we make a judgment call, however we want to put that.
But how we look is important and how you look is your business card.
And the first thing people see typically is your face.
And so I'm always big about make sure you have this first presentation business card well polished and well cleaned because that's what people are going to see.
That's what we're going to remember.
And that's what they're going to make that first judgment on you upon.
Absolutely.
So make sure our best, our biggest organ, our skin, the one that's front and center is looking our best and shining.
You know, so thank you.
