Welcome to the VP Life Podcast, the show
Speaker:where we bring you actionable health
Speaker:advice from Mielein Mainz.
Speaker:I'm your host Rob.
Speaker:My guest today has been Spitzdik, a
Speaker:functional health coach, founder of Vital
Speaker:Coaching and the creator of the 4F
Speaker:process, a systems-based framework
Speaker:designed to restore health by fixing
Speaker:physiology in the right order rather than
Speaker:chasing symptoms or diagnoses.
Speaker:Expect to learn why traditional
Speaker:functional medicine often misses the mark
Speaker:despite the best of intentions, how the
Speaker:4F process, flush, feed, fasten function,
Speaker:restores momentum across the gut, immune
Speaker:and metabolic systems and why immune
Speaker:metabolism, feedback driven coaching and
Speaker:the order of operations matter more than
Speaker:protocols or lab tests alone.
Speaker:Now, on to the
Speaker:conversation with Vince Pitstick.
Speaker:Good morning Vince and thank you for
Speaker:joining us on the podcast today.
Speaker:This has been a few months in the making
Speaker:and I know you're busy
Speaker:so I appreciate the time.
Speaker:I first got to know you when we worked
Speaker:together that was a few years back and
Speaker:things have obviously changed
Speaker:and evolved a lot since then.
Speaker:Stuff I'd like to chat
Speaker:to you about in a bit.
Speaker:First though, introductions.
Speaker:You've got quite the
Speaker:personal journey there.
Speaker:Some of it I know, some of it I don't.
Speaker:And we have time.
Speaker:So I'd love it if you could just start
Speaker:there with who you are, your background
Speaker:and how you ended up where you are.
Speaker:Yeah, I think it really helps listeners
Speaker:and watchers to pre-qualify myself.
Speaker:I'm not coming in with
Speaker:an MD or as a scientist.
Speaker:I'm coming in myself as a person who was
Speaker:really really sick as a young child that
Speaker:then through his journey really developed
Speaker:the skills, went and got education and
Speaker:then became a trainer of doctors and
Speaker:medical systems all over the country.
Speaker:And that's how I got this really unique
Speaker:view of functional medicine, Western
Speaker:medicine, the challenges that exist.
Speaker:And so for my story, starts all the way
Speaker:back when I was seven years old, grew up
Speaker:on the farm and I got chemical exposure
Speaker:that led to like immune deficiencies that
Speaker:created, I got strep,
Speaker:massive strep three times in a row.
Speaker:And it led to a condition called pandas.
Speaker:Now understand that this is now, I'm
Speaker:dating myself here a little Rob, but this
Speaker:was over boy now 34 years ago.
Speaker:So and this is one of the things I'm
Speaker:always challenged by is like back then we
Speaker:had no idea about pandas.
Speaker:Yeah, of any of this stuff, right?
Speaker:In fact, just what was emerging at the
Speaker:time was identifying symptoms that also
Speaker:had their own diagnoses, right?
Speaker:So most of the time.
Speaker:So what happened to me is I start getting
Speaker:intrusive thoughts, delusions, obsessive
Speaker:compulsive pattern behaviors, ticks, you
Speaker:know, all these different things, right?
Speaker:At the time, it was thought that all of
Speaker:this stuff was more behavioral.
Speaker:So it was a lot of personal
Speaker:blaming and shaming, right?
Speaker:Because people just didn't understand,
Speaker:which is very indicative of humans with
Speaker:anything they don't understand.
Speaker:When we know PTSD today, we know that
Speaker:there's, you know, you know, get brain
Speaker:injuries today, when we look at, you
Speaker:know, we look, we know that there's
Speaker:depression, anxiety, we know these things
Speaker:exist on a clinical level.
Speaker:They really didn't then.
Speaker:And it was all classified behavioral
Speaker:before we understood what it was.
Speaker:And I always remember that today with
Speaker:what people are dealing with how many
Speaker:people today are dealing with things that
Speaker:will know what they are in 30 years from
Speaker:now, and they don't
Speaker:have 30 years to wait,
Speaker:which is why I do the
Speaker:work that I do, right?
Speaker:So, so now I'm going through, man, this
Speaker:world of these different doctors, nobody
Speaker:knows what to do with me.
Speaker:I'm kind of like a Western medical
Speaker:medicine dropout at this point,
Speaker:they start to just kind of believe that
Speaker:I'm insane and start sending me to
Speaker:different strange
Speaker:psychiatrists and things like that.
Speaker:It's when physical symptoms started to
Speaker:manifest and gut issues and night terrors
Speaker:and anxiety, all that stuff.
Speaker:That finally they're like, "Oh, we think
Speaker:this is a condition we're now
Speaker:realizing exists called OCD,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:Obsessive Compulsive Disorder."
Speaker:Now true, okay, true, that
Speaker:was one of my symptoms, right?
Speaker:And carries its own diagnosis.
Speaker:However, that's where we get confused
Speaker:sometimes in Western medicine where we're
Speaker:like, "Aha, we have a diagnosis.
Speaker:Everything flows from that.
Speaker:So, we'll just work backwards from the
Speaker:diagnosis or work forwards from the
Speaker:diagnosis and try a treatment, throw some
Speaker:stuff in there, and that's when they
Speaker:wanted to throw medication at me."
Speaker:Now, what we know about psychiatric
Speaker:medication 34 years ago is
Speaker:it didn't work out too well.
Speaker:A lot, yeah.
Speaker:Not too many of those kids
Speaker:ended up actually healthy.
Speaker:One, and two, many got injured.
Speaker:We don't talk enough about that.
Speaker:I saw those kids in those clinics.
Speaker:I mean, I'll be sitting in the rooms with
Speaker:my mom and I'd be looking around at nine
Speaker:years old or 10 or 11 and I'm like
Speaker:looking at these kids and I'm like, "I
Speaker:don't know where I am.
Speaker:I don't know what I'm dealing with, but I
Speaker:definitely don't know where they are and
Speaker:I don't think they do either."
Speaker:You know, drooling and
Speaker:just, it would put you out.
Speaker:Like kids would be nodding out like
Speaker:they're on methadone or something and it
Speaker:was just like, "I'm like, nah.
Speaker:I'm going to stick with what I got."
Speaker:And my mom, that was one of the genius
Speaker:things about my mom's intuition, although
Speaker:she got other things wrong
Speaker:and this one she got right.
Speaker:And so we started the journey of mental
Speaker:health through therapy, which I think was
Speaker:a really, really good choice.
Speaker:Cognitive behavioral therapy, which I'm a
Speaker:big fan of still today with
Speaker:almost any issue you have.
Speaker:And then we started exploring the world
Speaker:of natural medicine.
Speaker:And it really was until I started putting
Speaker:together as I got a little bit older, one
Speaker:of the benefits of being a male, when you
Speaker:get these conditions, is that
Speaker:testosterone tends to
Speaker:calm them down, tends to.
Speaker:Where in girls, unfortunately, estrogen
Speaker:tends to exacerbate these issues.
Speaker:And so it kind of helped me a little bit
Speaker:as I start getting into 14, 15.
Speaker:In this time, right about
Speaker:this time, 13 through 15,
Speaker:I found, I went to enough nutrition over
Speaker:here, detox doctor over here,
Speaker:hormone optimization
Speaker:here, and therapy over here.
Speaker:And I kind of just stuck
Speaker:this rickety system together.
Speaker:And through that process, I got well.
Speaker:And it wasn't a magic pill.
Speaker:It wasn't just one thing.
Speaker:It was this synergistic process that I
Speaker:was able to put together.
Speaker:And fortunately, granted, the OCD stuck
Speaker:with me for a while, then ended up
Speaker:turning into, I found also at the time
Speaker:substances that were not the best idea,
Speaker:but they worked at the time,
Speaker:street drugs, that also
Speaker:assisted me in getting better.
Speaker:However, those drugs
Speaker:then became a problem later.
Speaker:What's the solution one day becomes a
Speaker:problem later, which is also what I
Speaker:believe a lot about modern psychiatry now
Speaker:is that a lot of the medications we use
Speaker:as a temporary solution can become a
Speaker:problem for many people later, not that
Speaker:there can't be useful tools.
Speaker:But we do need a multi-dimensional,
Speaker:multifaceted approach to healing on a
Speaker:functional root cause level, and really
Speaker:deliberate people from the things that
Speaker:are holding them back.
Speaker:And that just kind of spurred my journey
Speaker:in traveling all over learning about
Speaker:herbology, learning about genetics,
Speaker:learning about everything that I could,
Speaker:some in school, some outside of it, some
Speaker:studying under certain doctors.
Speaker:I became obsessed with understanding how
Speaker:we put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Speaker:And that was the rest of my journey that
Speaker:kind of then just in a short note, led me
Speaker:to developing my own health program near
Speaker:Chicago, then getting poached by a global
Speaker:medical company called Medigenics.
Speaker:I trained under Dr.
Speaker:Jeffrey Bland and a lot of people at Gig
Speaker:Harbor Washington, the research facility,
Speaker:and then also at San
Speaker:Clemente, California.
Speaker:And I learned about this whole world of
Speaker:functional medicine.
Speaker:And I realized that there's this whole
Speaker:other world of science that exists that
Speaker:nobody was paying attention to.
Speaker:And I was exposed to it.
Speaker:And I go, "Oh my gosh, you put everything
Speaker:I already know with this."
Speaker:It's like, I think
Speaker:anybody could be unstoppable.
Speaker:And then that's when I went out for
Speaker:Medigenics and became a trainer, a
Speaker:functional medicine consultant, building
Speaker:practices, training new protocols,
Speaker:helping them build systems in their
Speaker:practices to be able to scale cash or
Speaker:insurance based services.
Speaker:And I saw how every single doctor tried
Speaker:to treat in their own way.
Speaker:And probably my strongest trait is I'm a
Speaker:pattern, I recognize patterns.
Speaker:I'm not the smartest, like, you know,
Speaker:rocket scientist, I couldn't read a book
Speaker:and study and test, like that's not me.
Speaker:But I noticed patterns.
Speaker:And I noticed how different doctors all
Speaker:tried to solve the same pattern using a
Speaker:one dimensional process, whether it's one
Speaker:treatment or one pill.
Speaker:It's like, it's not a coincidence, Rob,
Speaker:that when you go to a chiropractor, every
Speaker:treatment involves an adjustment.
Speaker:It's not a coincidence.
Speaker:If you go to a hormone doctor, every
Speaker:treatment's going to involve a hormone.
Speaker:And the problem with that specialization
Speaker:is that most people have more problems in
Speaker:all the other systems of the body that
Speaker:need restoration, they need balance, the
Speaker:ecosystem needs to be restored.
Speaker:And one poking and prodding of the system
Speaker:is not going to do that.
Speaker:And so you, people need to become more
Speaker:generalist in order
Speaker:to create real freedom.
Speaker:And no one's really willing to do that.
Speaker:So I left after being a trainer for five
Speaker:years became one of
Speaker:the top in the country.
Speaker:And I opened up my own practice called
Speaker:Nutrition Dynamic at the time, which is
Speaker:now Vital Coaching, that I took all the
Speaker:best practices, organized them in a way
Speaker:that could be done online and see anybody
Speaker:anywhere in the world.
Speaker:And then there you have today, we're one
Speaker:of the largest in the country that that
Speaker:does this kind of work functional
Speaker:medicine led by a coach
Speaker:with a medical team behind it.
Speaker:So in concierge medicine thing, and we're
Speaker:trying to grow become the Amazon of
Speaker:health, because we want to reach everyone
Speaker:who's suffering anywhere in the world.
Speaker:Yeah, that's an amazing story.
Speaker:And I sort of loved the fact that you
Speaker:pointed to the sort of the psychological
Speaker:side of it to begin with, I think, in
Speaker:mainstream medicine, if you're labeled
Speaker:with a psychological psychiatric
Speaker:condition, it stops there.
Speaker:And no one very few practitioners realize
Speaker:that most of the time, a psychiatric
Speaker:issue has a physiological
Speaker:or biological underpinning.
Speaker:And yeah, of course, you need to deal
Speaker:with the mental health component of it.
Speaker:But the mind is a manifestation of what's
Speaker:going wrong in the
Speaker:body for the most part.
Speaker:And yeah, it's it's in psychiatry,
Speaker:there's this idea that the the body stops
Speaker:here, right below the neck.
Speaker:That's it.
Speaker:Well, that's the whole problem with
Speaker:modern medicine is that you've got a
Speaker:system that is based on, you know, the
Speaker:basically 11 systems of the body, right.
Speaker:And it's like, I'm going to be the master
Speaker:of one system, and then all of you can
Speaker:master your own systems.
Speaker:And then the way that we're all going to
Speaker:play nice is I'll stay in my lane, you
Speaker:stay in your lane, and
Speaker:we'll refer to each other.
Speaker:It's all going to work out great.
Speaker:It's all going to be wonderful.
Speaker:Everyone's going to make money, no one's
Speaker:going to get upset at each other for
Speaker:stepping on each other's toes.
Speaker:And it seems like
Speaker:it's this perfect system.
Speaker:And unfortunately,
Speaker:once somebody has an
Speaker:issue past acute phase,
Speaker:right, so three to six months, in in by
Speaker:definition, a chronic condition really
Speaker:has multiple systems that are now
Speaker:involved, that are
Speaker:impaired in different percentages.
Speaker:And so to solve that in a real meaningful
Speaker:way, we need we would either in the
Speaker:system that we have in Western medicine,
Speaker:the endocrinologist would need to talk to
Speaker:the GI doctor would need
Speaker:to talk to the cardiologist.
Speaker:And they have that at Cleveland Clinic,
Speaker:you know, but we don't do that in the
Speaker:United States, right.
Speaker:And so everyone falls through the cracks,
Speaker:because nobody's talking in that way.
Speaker:And I don't ever think you're going to
Speaker:change the Western medical
Speaker:system to fit that system.
Speaker:Therefore, there has
Speaker:to be something else.
Speaker:And what is that something else?
Speaker:And everyone that you probably will talk
Speaker:to is coming up with their own version of
Speaker:like, what is something else?
Speaker:You know, and that's what I've done for
Speaker:myself, I say, well, I can't count on
Speaker:anyone else to be
Speaker:synergistic and talk to each other.
Speaker:So let's create our own place and then
Speaker:also connect with other practitioners who
Speaker:are like minded, bring
Speaker:those things together.
Speaker:One of our biggest refers are
Speaker:psychologists, you know, and therapists,
Speaker:because they begin to realize, hey, these
Speaker:people, if they get consistent with their
Speaker:exercise, if they just clean up their
Speaker:diet a little bit, maybe they run a
Speaker:little bit of a detox process or
Speaker:something of the sort, something small
Speaker:even, while they're doing the therapy,
Speaker:leads to incredible emotional and
Speaker:physiologic outcomes,
Speaker:right, psychological.
Speaker:And that's what I keep trying to say, if
Speaker:I had not done so when, for example, with
Speaker:pandas, one of the things is your, it's
Speaker:your immune system, it gets overactive.
Speaker:And when it does, all your energy is
Speaker:going into sympathetic dominance, fight
Speaker:or flight, upregulated nervous system.
Speaker:Do you know how hard it is to think
Speaker:clearly when you have a dysregulated
Speaker:nervous system because it's trying to
Speaker:tell you something's wrong in the body?
Speaker:Like, good luck, like emotionally trying
Speaker:to work through your problems when your
Speaker:body in the inside is being like, you
Speaker:know, and it's like, you
Speaker:can soothe that physically.
Speaker:And then you can also soothe it
Speaker:psychologically, emotionally, right?
Speaker:So this top down, bottom up approach
Speaker:should always be best
Speaker:practice to achieve wellness.
Speaker:I can tell you on the business side, the
Speaker:reason that this fails as someone who
Speaker:tried to set these systems
Speaker:up, it costs more money upfront.
Speaker:It's not as simple.
Speaker:It then requires you can't just have one
Speaker:machine or one treatment, and then scale
Speaker:that thing and improve
Speaker:profitability like that.
Speaker:You actually have to sit on it, this
Speaker:imperfect system that makes a little less
Speaker:money upfront, but starts getting
Speaker:outcomes down the road that will start
Speaker:attracting more people.
Speaker:So doctors would have to be patient.
Speaker:And they'd have to get their practice
Speaker:managers involved and their, and the
Speaker:people and now you're
Speaker:going against the status quo.
Speaker:And people are going to be frustrated
Speaker:with you because you're
Speaker:trying to figure it out.
Speaker:There's this huge desert that you've got
Speaker:to get through to get to the other side
Speaker:as a generalist in order to achieve a
Speaker:practice that is actually
Speaker:multidimensional in that way.
Speaker:And most doctors, most practitioners,
Speaker:they're too afraid of peer pressure.
Speaker:They're afraid of like insurance not
Speaker:covering it and they
Speaker:don't want to go cash pay.
Speaker:And so the standard of care, insurance
Speaker:companies, guys in suits who have no
Speaker:clinical background are telling you how
Speaker:to treat your patients are also rewarding
Speaker:you by the way, by the number of pills
Speaker:you prescribe, which is super messed up.
Speaker:It's a whole other story.
Speaker:But like, so you're trying to rip off the
Speaker:teat of that, move into something
Speaker:uncomfortable and as someone who coached
Speaker:them through these things.
Speaker:If you don't have a coach, if you're
Speaker:trying to just do this because you feel
Speaker:inspired and you know
Speaker:it's the truth, good luck.
Speaker:No one's making it.
Speaker:You're going to go back to
Speaker:doing what you always did.
Speaker:You're going to check in
Speaker:and you're going to check out.
Speaker:You're going to go home and you're going
Speaker:to love your family.
Speaker:You're going to take them on vacations
Speaker:and you're just going
Speaker:to let it be what it is.
Speaker:And that's why people don't get better.
Speaker:Yeah, no, I couldn't agree more.
Speaker:And I think it just speaks to this sort
Speaker:of whole, well, not only the
Speaker:dysfunctional sort of mainstream model
Speaker:that we've sort of just discussed, well,
Speaker:you've just discussed in great detail,
Speaker:but also the functional medicine model.
Speaker:Now, I suppose,
Speaker:and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think
Speaker:this whole functional medicine paradigm
Speaker:really started maybe in the 60s with
Speaker:Linus Pauling, who's as I'm sure you
Speaker:know, is a biochemist.
Speaker:He started this this idea of
Speaker:orthomolecular medicine, which is where I
Speaker:feel that functional
Speaker:medicine has its roots.
Speaker:This idea of course, that by utilizing
Speaker:nutritional, nutritional aid, nutritional
Speaker:supplements, you can tweak an
Speaker:individual's biochemistry and hope to
Speaker:improve a lot of
Speaker:these chronic conditions.
Speaker:Now, of course, that is
Speaker:reductionist in of itself.
Speaker:And obviously, Dr.
Speaker:Pauling was just a biochemist.
Speaker:So he didn't have the full view as you've
Speaker:just alluded to, since in the field has
Speaker:obviously evolved and progressed as has
Speaker:functional medicine.
Speaker:And people are now going into these sort
Speaker:of functional medicine clinics and these
Speaker:settings and these programs and to some
Speaker:extent, and they are, I suppose, broadly
Speaker:speaking, making some level of progress.
Speaker:But as you've alluded to previously, a
Speaker:lot of them are still struggling and
Speaker:still falling through the cracks, even
Speaker:though we sort of moved from this
Speaker:traditional paradigm of siloed medicine,
Speaker:where you only ever see one doctor who
Speaker:operates in with it with through one lens
Speaker:and through and in one specialty to this
Speaker:more functional paradigm, but
Speaker:people are still struggling.
Speaker:Now, can we shout out Linus Pauling, the
Speaker:basically the godfather of vitamin C.
Speaker:Yes, right.
Speaker:You know, I mean, starting from just one
Speaker:vitamin, and then that's where what's
Speaker:interesting about my lineage on this.
Speaker:Yeah, his understudy was Dr.
Speaker:Jeffrey Bland.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:And Dr.
Speaker:Jeffrey Bland, I had the like, again, I
Speaker:was this young, I had no idea who I got
Speaker:to spend time with, like, he's the
Speaker:Einstein, in my opinion of our time, Dr.
Speaker:And I, one of the things that I found so
Speaker:interesting is that when I was young,
Speaker:learning nutrition, learning all these
Speaker:things, and I was in the bodybuilding at
Speaker:this time, here I show up, you know, and,
Speaker:you know, just huge over
Speaker:consuming mTOR, you know, whatever.
Speaker:And I walk in into these functional
Speaker:rooms, and I get to meet Dr.
Speaker:Bland and everybody.
Speaker:And I, I had no idea
Speaker:what I was about to uncover.
Speaker:Anyways, I still, I still digress and
Speaker:laugh at the journey a little bit, you
Speaker:know, where, you know, we all learn new
Speaker:things, you know, that's why you might
Speaker:start like everything's carnivore.
Speaker:And then you go, Oh, my god, there's this
Speaker:whole world of this, that and the other,
Speaker:you know, or whatever your thing is, the
Speaker:journey is going to take you to very
Speaker:unconventional places.
Speaker:I guess that's I'm just laughing at the
Speaker:road to getting here, you know.
Speaker:Anyway, of course, what they say all
Speaker:roads ultimately leads to
Speaker:Rome in one way, shape or form.
Speaker:So yeah, definitely.
Speaker:Yeah, no, I sort of, I
Speaker:briefly remember reading up that Dr.
Speaker:Bland was an understudy of Dr.
Speaker:Paul Pauling.
Speaker:Yeah, I should have linked that up in a
Speaker:bit more detail given who I'm talking to.
Speaker:Anyway, but I suppose fundamentally, and
Speaker:you've, you've covered this to an extent,
Speaker:but and we can keep a brief, of course.
Speaker:But why has functional
Speaker:medicine failed, do you think?
Speaker:I mean, it's more, you've, as I said,
Speaker:you've already spoken about this briefly,
Speaker:but functional medicine is still missing
Speaker:the boat in so many ways.
Speaker:And then I'd love to get
Speaker:into your fore process.
Speaker:Now, I mean, again, I've got my thoughts.
Speaker:It's a sort of
Speaker:fragmented sort of organ versus
Speaker:sort of whole systems approach.
Speaker:And there's very little way in terms of
Speaker:systemic infrastructure in functional
Speaker:medicine that has been established.
Speaker:Again, everybody has their sort of their
Speaker:MO, their way they approach it.
Speaker:Instead of being going to a
Speaker:gastroenterologist, you're now going to
Speaker:functional medicine specialist to only
Speaker:focus on this, excuse me, only focuses on
Speaker:the gut, or only focusing on hormones.
Speaker:And do you sort of broadly speaking, sort
Speaker:of find that to be true?
Speaker:Or do you find that or do you think there
Speaker:are other reasons why the system fails?
Speaker:So in the last decade,
Speaker:you know, functional medicine, year over
Speaker:year grows, the industry
Speaker:grows about 26%, which is large, that's a
Speaker:huge, that's a huge shift.
Speaker:Same thing, online fitness, you know, I
Speaker:don't want to bring this up to, we've
Speaker:seen massive industrial growth.
Speaker:I mean, people are spending more on
Speaker:weight loss than ever
Speaker:before in human history.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And it seems like the more money that we
Speaker:throw at the problem,
Speaker:medicine is at all time high, right?
Speaker:Like, you know, as part of GDP, right?
Speaker:More drugs than ever,
Speaker:more doctors than ever.
Speaker:And yet we're sicker than ever.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So there, there seems to be this, this
Speaker:relationship that we're missing the point
Speaker:in that, and this is where I'll get to
Speaker:this is that clearly fitness hasn't
Speaker:figured it out and put
Speaker:a dent into it, right?
Speaker:Clearly functional medicine hasn't to
Speaker:this point been able to
Speaker:put much of a debt in it.
Speaker:And clearly, Western medicine hasn't been
Speaker:able to stop it either,
Speaker:for all their benefits.
Speaker:They all have benefits, all three of
Speaker:them, but in and of themselves have been
Speaker:relatively powerless to shift the
Speaker:morbidity curve in the United States.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And globally, I mean, it's happening all
Speaker:over once they adopt the
Speaker:Western medicine way of life.
Speaker:And so, or Western way of life.
Speaker:So let me give you my perspective, two
Speaker:things on the problem and why.
Speaker:One is functional medicine still thinks
Speaker:like Western medicine.
Speaker:They want to be like Western medicine.
Speaker:And then therefore,
Speaker:oftentimes, you've got two camps.
Speaker:You've got the really, really holistic
Speaker:practitioner, who's got their one off
Speaker:thing that they do on everybody.
Speaker:It's the same, that's the
Speaker:kind of myopic thought process.
Speaker:That's the issue.
Speaker:It's like, it's all just PEMF, or it's
Speaker:all just H-Bot, or it's all just, you
Speaker:know, whatever the thing is, you know,
Speaker:and when they get off on their soapbox,
Speaker:and they don't work with anybody else.
Speaker:And so they kind of relegate themselves
Speaker:to a smaller population of people to
Speaker:proportionately impact
Speaker:that then doesn't spread.
Speaker:And then you got the other group who
Speaker:looks for adoption, they look to get
Speaker:certifications and licensing and
Speaker:functional medicine.
Speaker:Most of my opinion, when you look at most
Speaker:of the certifications or licensing and
Speaker:testing, it's done like Western medicine.
Speaker:That's why like, if you look at the
Speaker:naturopath, for example, when they first
Speaker:started, when it first started coming up,
Speaker:naturopaths looked like the great hope.
Speaker:It really did.
Speaker:Early on, they had their own schools and
Speaker:all this other stuff, and it
Speaker:looked like the great hope.
Speaker:And today, I'm sorry, it's failed
Speaker:everybody, and it's not
Speaker:any better for most of them.
Speaker:And the reason why is they still think
Speaker:Western medicine, and then they just
Speaker:apply the functional on the back end.
Speaker:How you look at solving problems decides
Speaker:whether your root cause or not, you know,
Speaker:you can't just run 2700 tests, throw
Speaker:everything together as a kind of random
Speaker:treatment, and then see them again in
Speaker:three to six months,
Speaker:like, it's not going to work.
Speaker:Okay, it's just a green pharmacy.
Speaker:It's not, it's not going to work.
Speaker:It doesn't work.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:We see that.
Speaker:Now, I'm glad that other options exist.
Speaker:Don't get me wrong.
Speaker:If you're a functional medicine
Speaker:practitioner, and I'm
Speaker:not here to poo poo.
Speaker:I just I don't I still think you're
Speaker:thinking like a Western alipath.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:It's like, what's the symptom?
Speaker:And then what pill do I give for that?
Speaker:You're just given a
Speaker:supplement rather than a drug.
Speaker:And it's like, no, that's not it.
Speaker:It's not enough.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So the other component of it is not just
Speaker:the way that we solve problems,
Speaker:which I take a very inductive or
Speaker:deductive approach versus an inductive
Speaker:approach, we've talked
Speaker:about the differences there.
Speaker:And there's a book called
Speaker:the problem of induction.
Speaker:And if you can bore through it, it will
Speaker:open your mind to how solving things
Speaker:through the inductive
Speaker:method is actually incorrect.
Speaker:And whenever any industry applies it,
Speaker:you're doomed to fail.
Speaker:Because your way of solving problems is
Speaker:in contradiction to how
Speaker:the body actually heals.
Speaker:And so very much so deductive working
Speaker:through a systematic process towards the
Speaker:solution is always it.
Speaker:That's why if somebody comes, let me give
Speaker:an example that people can understand.
Speaker:If somebody comes into me, and they have
Speaker:a blood pressure issue, okay, right,
Speaker:let's say they have blood pressure issue.
Speaker:I know that that's going to be a deeper
Speaker:cardiovascular typically, I mean, 5% of
Speaker:kidney issues are not vascular nature and
Speaker:have other other reasons, I understand
Speaker:that, but for the vast majority,
Speaker:what I'm going to do is I'm going to work
Speaker:through a process towards helping the
Speaker:kidneys, I'm not just going to start with
Speaker:the kidneys, meaning that like, I'm not
Speaker:just going to give you a blood pressure
Speaker:pill and see in three
Speaker:to six months, right?
Speaker:Or I'm not going to give you a bunch of
Speaker:supplements for your blood pressure and
Speaker:see in three to six months and tell you
Speaker:to walk and, you know, drink water, like,
Speaker:like, okay, I get that.
Speaker:What I'm going to do is I know I'm going
Speaker:to start with opening lymphatics liver,
Speaker:getting fluids off the top of the body,
Speaker:reducing inflammation, then I'm going to
Speaker:move to the gut where most cellular
Speaker:inflammation comes from to start to give
Speaker:the kidneys more of a break, then I'm
Speaker:going to do some intermittent fasting,
Speaker:fast feasting, because I can
Speaker:clean the kidneys out easier.
Speaker:And then by the time I even got to the
Speaker:kidneys, if I wanted to put a blood
Speaker:pressure medication in, I wouldn't need
Speaker:to, they'd already be solved.
Speaker:The trickle down effect is what you want
Speaker:for the solution to the diagnosis.
Speaker:Not like everything is like diagnosis and
Speaker:work backwards, right?
Speaker:You want to have a process forwards and
Speaker:that can be hard for people to understand
Speaker:if they've been medically trained for a
Speaker:very, very, very long time.
Speaker:And I fully respect that and I understand
Speaker:that and I understand if people disagree
Speaker:with me, but if it's bad enough, you
Speaker:could certainly put a blood pressure
Speaker:medication in, but you're still going to
Speaker:go work the process forward.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So one is how we solve problems and then
Speaker:two is how we treat, like, what is the
Speaker:process of walking people through?
Speaker:How do we actually solve problems?
Speaker:And so what do I mean by that is what is
Speaker:the treatment plan like?
Speaker:And so for me, I know for a fact that if
Speaker:someone doesn't have a relationship
Speaker:during their care, the number one element
Speaker:to healing is the human element.
Speaker:That is why right next to penicillin, the
Speaker:number one greatest invention in human
Speaker:history for healing is the nurse because
Speaker:every treatment in the world
Speaker:is delivered by a nurse today.
Speaker:And without that relationship, right, to
Speaker:the doctor and to the nurse,
Speaker:healing is almost impossible.
Speaker:There's no trust.
Speaker:Your nervous system's
Speaker:not going to calm down.
Speaker:You're out there on your own.
Speaker:Your body's going to stay in something
Speaker:called cell danger response.
Speaker:And so the reality is your body will
Speaker:resist any kind of treatment because it's
Speaker:this self-sustaining vehicle.
Speaker:And without you having the human element
Speaker:of healing, I don't think it exists.
Speaker:And so for me, that's why I believe so
Speaker:heavily that if you don't have a coach
Speaker:that's staying in contact or a process
Speaker:where you're having consistent contact or
Speaker:community with your
Speaker:patients or your clients,
Speaker:your success rate goes through the toilet
Speaker:or goes down the toilet.
Speaker:There has to be an element of lifestyle
Speaker:change activated by the patient or the
Speaker:client while you're providing a therapy
Speaker:and walking them through the journey of
Speaker:healing that includes mind,
Speaker:body and dare I even say spirit
Speaker:or 100%.
Speaker:I mean, we've had related relationship.
Speaker:We've had discussions about God and the
Speaker:spiritual matters as well.
Speaker:And I mean, at this point in time, all I
Speaker:want to do is talk about cell danger
Speaker:response because yeah,
Speaker:that's my jam at the moment.
Speaker:But I think you are dead on.
Speaker:And I think if I was to sort of, I think
Speaker:that by focusing on the nervous system
Speaker:more so than anything, you can create
Speaker:more of a shift in someone's state of
Speaker:health than you can by pulling any other
Speaker:lever if you could only pull one.
Speaker:I mean, of course, that's
Speaker:another rabbit hole completely.
Speaker:But I mean, this is right
Speaker:there, you're not wrong.
Speaker:So if I was going to start somewhere,
Speaker:right, if I was going to have a strategy,
Speaker:the nervous system speaks to all other
Speaker:systems of the body, right?
Speaker:And you're really talking about the brain
Speaker:and the nerve, that's
Speaker:the whole one system.
Speaker:But that nervous system is going to is
Speaker:going to help reregulate the
Speaker:communication, it's going to create
Speaker:ecosystem balance, the
Speaker:body is not a machine.
Speaker:If it was a machine, that's why sometimes
Speaker:I hate the idea of pills is like, give
Speaker:them 20 milligrams of this and this will
Speaker:be the exact outcome.
Speaker:Yeah, that'll start that way.
Speaker:And then it's immediately going to change
Speaker:because an ecosystem adapts to the
Speaker:stimulus immediately as
Speaker:you begin to give it to it.
Speaker:And so it's not a machine.
Speaker:If I if it's a machine, I can give it an
Speaker:exact input with an exact
Speaker:output every single time.
Speaker:But an ecosystem is always changing.
Speaker:And so you have to create
Speaker:what balance to the ecosystem.
Speaker:And that's why the nervous system is so
Speaker:critical to getting the kidneys back in
Speaker:alignment with the liver to the gut, to
Speaker:the endocrine system, right?
Speaker:And so you can work the nervous system
Speaker:bottom up through different therapies,
Speaker:like, you know, foods
Speaker:and stuff like that.
Speaker:And, and, you know, sunlight, and, you
Speaker:know, there's all kinds of treatments we
Speaker:could talk about the flush is what I do
Speaker:for the nervous system.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And then but then also you can do it top
Speaker:down through community,
Speaker:spirit, again, cognitive behavioral was
Speaker:was one of the ones I did for me, all
Speaker:these different things.
Speaker:And then all of a sudden, that nervous
Speaker:system really starts to calm down.
Speaker:And then you can break through to the
Speaker:specific area you want to get to, right,
Speaker:whatever the specific system is.
Speaker:But really, the gatekeeper to that system
Speaker:is the nervous system, you see.
Speaker:So there's like an
Speaker:order of operations, Rob.
Speaker:And this is where the light bulb went on
Speaker:for me, brother, when I was
Speaker:watching everyone work it.
Speaker:And remember, I told you pattern
Speaker:recognition, I'm like, Oh, wait a minute,
Speaker:it's kind of like switches on, when the
Speaker:power goes out, you turn the you turn the
Speaker:main on first, and then you got to turn
Speaker:the other switches on.
Speaker:And then and then all of a sudden things
Speaker:start to turn on, Rob, that was what I
Speaker:was like, Okay, what's the order?
Speaker:What's the magic combination?
Speaker:And I was like, 1234.
Speaker:This is the order.
Speaker:And then I took all
Speaker:those things that do that.
Speaker:And I put it into a system.
Speaker:And we call it the four f system,
Speaker:which is absolutely perfect.
Speaker:Because that's what I
Speaker:want to discuss next.
Speaker:Because quite honestly, all I want to do
Speaker:is geek out with you
Speaker:on the stuff all day.
Speaker:However, you have a time limit, and we've
Speaker:got to keep it pretty high level.
Speaker:So you and I could do it forever.
Speaker:I could talk about it forever.
Speaker:Yeah, it's definitely two piece in a pod.
Speaker:But yeah, your forex system.
Speaker:Now, I think I can quote you as saying
Speaker:that you're willing to take on and
Speaker:correct me if I'm wrong, pretty much any
Speaker:health condition out there.
Speaker:And as you feel that this system you
Speaker:built out the forex system, I suppose
Speaker:covers enough of the the pathophysiology
Speaker:for it to be effective at being able to
Speaker:well treat the root of any
Speaker:sort of quote unquote condition.
Speaker:Now, of course, I don't expect to give
Speaker:away you to give away all your IP,
Speaker:although maybe a little bit although I
Speaker:love to give it away
Speaker:and then wouldn't hurt to become pay us
Speaker:to organize it for him.
Speaker:You know, yeah, there we go.
Speaker:That's gonna be my next question.
Speaker:But the order of operation stuff.
Speaker:Yeah, but yeah, to start off with, can
Speaker:you just run us through what this system
Speaker:is, starting with the
Speaker:flush and going from there?
Speaker:Yeah, so my so what I realized is, again,
Speaker:when I worked with all these different
Speaker:doctors all over consulting sitting in on
Speaker:their cases, you
Speaker:know, I probably saw over
Speaker:I don't know, 30,000 cases even before I
Speaker:opened up my own system.
Speaker:And then remember, before that, I already
Speaker:know fundamental nutrition, I had already
Speaker:worked supplementation or
Speaker:done a lot of these things.
Speaker:And I was looking at how doctors would
Speaker:work different processes and where they
Speaker:would start and then where would they end
Speaker:and then what was the success rate.
Speaker:And I was particularly disturbed by the
Speaker:success rate of the modern doctor, which
Speaker:is why you don't see
Speaker:doctors posting success stories.
Speaker:It's why I all I do is post success
Speaker:stories, because I'm like, show me your
Speaker:work, not your license.
Speaker:Show me your outcomes.
Speaker:Because the problem is the African West,
Speaker:the average Western medicine doctor is
Speaker:40% successful with a
Speaker:probably a 20 to 70 60% relapse rate.
Speaker:It's not great, right?
Speaker:Your statistical probability of solving
Speaker:something outside of just like a, an
Speaker:infection with the antibiotic is if it's
Speaker:beyond that, you know, if it's not acute,
Speaker:it starts to go dramatically down.
Speaker:Anything chronic starts to become people
Speaker:don't realize when they go in the
Speaker:doctor's office, like your, your
Speaker:statistical probability of solving that's
Speaker:lower than you'd probably be comfortable
Speaker:with, you know, not that I get I don't
Speaker:love great doctors, this always sounds
Speaker:like I'm, I love my doctors and they have
Speaker:great hearts and souls out there.
Speaker:So please, I just
Speaker:understand where I'm coming from.
Speaker:So just the for F
Speaker:process is as simple as this.
Speaker:And in that there's
Speaker:11 systems of the body.
Speaker:And I learned that if you stimulate, it's
Speaker:an order of stimulation.
Speaker:So if I stimulate one set of systems, and
Speaker:then I stimulate another, and then I
Speaker:stimulate another, they'll get they'll
Speaker:fall back into alignment.
Speaker:And then all of a sudden outcomes start
Speaker:happening, the body starts working with
Speaker:me instead of against me.
Speaker:And it really, it actually all kind of
Speaker:comes down to the
Speaker:immune system in reality.
Speaker:And we'll kind of describe this in a
Speaker:minute, which the immune system actually
Speaker:doesn't isn't in one, it's not one
Speaker:system, it's in every system, really.
Speaker:And so I didn't know I didn't know this
Speaker:when I started working this at the time.
Speaker:But what I understood was like, let's
Speaker:take a let's take a
Speaker:condition any condition.
Speaker:So let's start with Hashimoto's.
Speaker:Well, Hashimoto's is a great one, right?
Speaker:So Hashimoto's, again, if you are if you
Speaker:follow my logic, any diagnosis that you
Speaker:ever hear is never the root cause.
Speaker:So don't assume it's the root cause start
Speaker:there that helps you.
Speaker:Because it's like, people get names
Speaker:because they want to know the name to
Speaker:what's the thing I need to attack.
Speaker:And so they get a word like Hashimoto's.
Speaker:And you're like, Oh, the root cause of
Speaker:Hashimoto's is Hashimoto's.
Speaker:Like, no, no, that's actually a
Speaker:comorbidity that we've
Speaker:identified that we can give a name to.
Speaker:Okay, there has to be
Speaker:something that predated that.
Speaker:And that's where same thing, cardio
Speaker:metabolic disorders like high blood
Speaker:pressure, majority of high blood
Speaker:pressures is metabolic syndrome, right?
Speaker:One in one in two people in the United
Speaker:States now have high blood pressure.
Speaker:And majority of them have metabolic
Speaker:syndrome, and only 30% of those people
Speaker:are diagnosed with the root, but
Speaker:everybody knows the secondary morbidity,
Speaker:you see, this is why the when we talk
Speaker:about root cause, that's what we mean.
Speaker:Okay, right.
Speaker:So I know that there's a level of
Speaker:cellular inflammation that has somehow
Speaker:imbalanced the immune system in one way
Speaker:or another, that it's being triggered,
Speaker:and then it stressed the thyroid out the
Speaker:thyroid's response starts to be
Speaker:overactivity under the duress, and then
Speaker:the immune system turns and starts
Speaker:looking at it to slow it down oftentimes,
Speaker:starts throwing out TPO at it, and then
Speaker:just slowing down for
Speaker:the for the audience that big.
Speaker:Yeah, sorry.
Speaker:Yes, I know.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:So
Speaker:thyroid peroxidase is an antibody that
Speaker:essentially is is one of the ways your
Speaker:body has an antibody to
Speaker:about every organ in the body.
Speaker:And it does that to help
Speaker:clean up tissues as a governor.
Speaker:So your immune system has a regulatory
Speaker:purpose to every system of your body.
Speaker:And it doesn't want to
Speaker:step in unless it has to.
Speaker:And and so that'll happen.
Speaker:And so whether it's due to
Speaker:heavy metal exposure, virus,
Speaker:the, you know, something can get inside
Speaker:of your body and then create inflammation
Speaker:in the thyroid or wherever, and then the
Speaker:immune system can go check it out.
Speaker:And it's overactivity in that area can
Speaker:lead to autoimmunity, right.
Speaker:And there's many ways we could talk about
Speaker:why that happens, that could be a whole
Speaker:other podcast for another day.
Speaker:Let's keep it really simple.
Speaker:Okay, so once that happens, and it
Speaker:happens in people, and then sits there
Speaker:for five years, that's the other thing
Speaker:you have to assume, it's like by the time
Speaker:you recognize you have the problem, it's
Speaker:already been going on for five years.
Speaker:And that's pretty true of almost any
Speaker:condition, diabetes, autoimmunity, you
Speaker:name it, it's gone on for a long time.
Speaker:So inside the body, once inflammation
Speaker:rises, by definition, because of energy
Speaker:conservation, where your body's using
Speaker:energy, your nervous system starting to
Speaker:get dysregulated, because it's telling
Speaker:you something's wrong.
Speaker:It's trying to, it's trying to
Speaker:communicate with you, which is why you
Speaker:don't feel, you feel unsettled, you can't
Speaker:calm down, you're having intrusive
Speaker:thoughts, whatever comes for you, sleep
Speaker:imbalances or whatever.
Speaker:And what happens is, as energy starts
Speaker:going to cell danger response to the
Speaker:immune system, especially the adaptive
Speaker:immune system, T and B cell lymphocytes,
Speaker:it's very expensive, right?
Speaker:It's like, if I'm going to go run that
Speaker:Porsche at 100 miles an hour, I'm going
Speaker:to spend a lot of money in gas.
Speaker:So you your ATP, then goes to protection,
Speaker:and not to cellular function and energy
Speaker:and muscle and, and your brain for
Speaker:thinking it goes into your immune system.
Speaker:So that's why almost every time Rob, the
Speaker:number one symptom of all
Speaker:time is fatigue and brain fog.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And everyone goes, Do you have brain fog?
Speaker:You must have Lyme disease.
Speaker:Do you have brain fog?
Speaker:You must have IBS.
Speaker:And it's like, no, no, no.
Speaker:If you have brain fog, you have an
Speaker:overact your immune system stealing your
Speaker:energy that every single
Speaker:time we don't know why.
Speaker:That's what the exact
Speaker:investigative process for.
Speaker:But your immune system is overactive, and
Speaker:it's dealing your energy
Speaker:almost almost 90% of the time.
Speaker:That's what it is.
Speaker:I mean, you can have cancers and stuff,
Speaker:but your immune
Speaker:system is involved in that.
Speaker:So either way, brain fog, we know of
Speaker:upregulated immune response,
Speaker:and we want to discover why.
Speaker:Well, what I don't want to do, Rob is run
Speaker:a million tests, and then try to guess
Speaker:why the immune system is
Speaker:overactive or whatever.
Speaker:I don't want to do that because every
Speaker:time that you do that,
Speaker:you always miss something.
Speaker:You always miss something in the process.
Speaker:It's like growing a great garden.
Speaker:Like, you need to follow a process, then
Speaker:you might change some of the things you
Speaker:do based on where you live in the United
Speaker:States and whatever.
Speaker:But if you skip parts in the process,
Speaker:you're going to have a crappy garden.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So if it's like, Oh, I care about
Speaker:tomatoes, and I'm not thinking about the
Speaker:soil, and I'm not thinking about
Speaker:everything else, I'm going to miss
Speaker:something, and I'm not going to get a
Speaker:great garden, or I'm not going to get a
Speaker:great yard, and that's an ecosystem.
Speaker:So I don't skip steps.
Speaker:I stay in the deductive process.
Speaker:I'll adjust based on their
Speaker:program, but I follow the steps.
Speaker:And when I do that, we did 7,000 cases,
Speaker:Rob, and now we've
Speaker:done over 70,000 people.
Speaker:Even without labs, we have
Speaker:over an 88% success rate.
Speaker:With labs, we have a 95% success rate.
Speaker:So labs do enhance your clinical
Speaker:effectiveness, but they shouldn't dictate
Speaker:everything that you do.
Speaker:You're going to get lost in the process.
Speaker:Okay?
Speaker:So I start with coming in.
Speaker:I know that the immune
Speaker:system is overactive.
Speaker:Cells are dividing fast.
Speaker:Mitochondria are starting to die.
Speaker:Inflammation's rising.
Speaker:It doesn't matter.
Speaker:Chronic conditions,
Speaker:this is always happening.
Speaker:So I need to open the lymphatic system.
Speaker:I need to stimulate the endocrine system,
Speaker:like the adrenals and the thyroid, to
Speaker:help cellular activity.
Speaker:This being the flush.
Speaker:Yes, it's called the flush.
Speaker:I have to open the system up, because
Speaker:when the immune system's really active,
Speaker:everything else slows down.
Speaker:Metabolism tends to slow down.
Speaker:Fat metabolism tends to slow down.
Speaker:So shorten this up.
Speaker:Stimulate, so every
Speaker:cell jostles, basically.
Speaker:It's cellular activity.
Speaker:I'm trying to keep it very simple here.
Speaker:That jostling has everything to do with
Speaker:the endocrine system
Speaker:and the nervous system.
Speaker:Okay?
Speaker:So you need to create cellular activity
Speaker:in order for it to remove waste and
Speaker:perform cellular functions.
Speaker:So when your body gets inflamed,
Speaker:remember, most cell functions have
Speaker:reduced a little bit to
Speaker:run the immune system.
Speaker:So I've got to stimulate the endocrine,
Speaker:the nervous system, the lymphatic system,
Speaker:and basically the liver.
Speaker:That's what I've got to do first.
Speaker:I've got to open the body up and prepare
Speaker:for me to get rid of
Speaker:things out of the body.
Speaker:Maybe there's blocks in your hormones,
Speaker:blocks in cellular
Speaker:metabolism of something.
Speaker:All disease is metabolic.
Speaker:So if I work the metabolic pathway and I
Speaker:open it up and I make it pristine and I
Speaker:get rid of all the traffic, the chance of
Speaker:you getting better from whatever you have
Speaker:is not like it's highly probable, right?
Speaker:It's statistically predictable with the
Speaker:numbers that we have now.
Speaker:So I start there.
Speaker:Then I moved to the immune
Speaker:system, which is in the gut.
Speaker:So I'm working the gut and the immune
Speaker:system next phase two, and that gets rid
Speaker:of most global cellular inflammation.
Speaker:Then we have to help the body reset.
Speaker:It's been on mTOR when you're inflamed,
Speaker:you're always an mTOR,
Speaker:which is sugar burning.
Speaker:And now I have to get into this.
Speaker:I got to get rid of damaged cells and I
Speaker:got to get into the mitochondria of cells
Speaker:to help fix the cell.
Speaker:And get it moving into AMPK.
Speaker:What people don't understand is based on
Speaker:what your cell will tell
Speaker:your immune system how to work.
Speaker:If I'm in mTOR, I'm in
Speaker:phase one immune function.
Speaker:If I'm in AMPK, I'm in
Speaker:phase two immune function.
Speaker:And what all people need to know about
Speaker:that is phase two immune function is how
Speaker:when you were 16 years old, you could
Speaker:fall off a building and drink poison and
Speaker:feel great the next day.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And now today as you're older, you'll
Speaker:start noticing your blood sugars on
Speaker:average creep up even if they're in
Speaker:range, you start creeping up because
Speaker:you're spending more time in an mTOR.
Speaker:And the problem with that is now, if I
Speaker:don't sleep eight hours,
Speaker:I feel like I'm hungover.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so I need to get your
Speaker:body to spend more time in AMPK.
Speaker:And what are ways to achieve that?
Speaker:Well, keto, carnivore, fasting,
Speaker:intermittent fasting, activity.
Speaker:And then there's tools, autophagy, like
Speaker:tools, peptides, all that stuff that
Speaker:assist the body in
Speaker:getting into autophagy.
Speaker:Now the body can get rid of cells that
Speaker:don't have enough mitochondria in them
Speaker:that aren't working very well.
Speaker:We got to get these senescent cells out.
Speaker:It's a conversation for another day.
Speaker:Once we start removing these, and this is
Speaker:what I believe why, like let's say you
Speaker:get an Epstein-Barr virus, somehow it
Speaker:attacks the thyroid.
Speaker:So TPO goes up, you have senescent cells
Speaker:around your thyroid.
Speaker:I want to get rid of those cells, you can
Speaker:fast them out with autophagy.
Speaker:So phase three is the cell.
Speaker:I got to fix the cell to get well.
Speaker:And then I need to then after that phase,
Speaker:I got to balance out insulin
Speaker:and leptin and all of that.
Speaker:And then I move into the hormone phase
Speaker:because the thing that keeps everything
Speaker:kind of stable, really strong,
Speaker:homeostasis, is your sex hormones.
Speaker:So then I balance out the sex hormones is
Speaker:the last part of it to keep
Speaker:you really stable and vital.
Speaker:And then make sure that your body
Speaker:performs in the
Speaker:environment that you need to be in.
Speaker:Meaning that the function phase is what
Speaker:do I need to get you functioning for?
Speaker:Are you an athlete?
Speaker:Are you someone who
Speaker:needs to work a lot of hours?
Speaker:Are you someone who's a mom that needs to
Speaker:function for three kids?
Speaker:Are you somebody who's an engineer who
Speaker:needs their brain power all the time?
Speaker:I want to optimize your diet, training,
Speaker:supplements, even genetics, do genetics
Speaker:testing to be optimal for that function
Speaker:so that you can sustain that level of
Speaker:stress without
Speaker:breaking the system back down.
Speaker:Because resiliency is more
Speaker:important than asymptomatology.
Speaker:You've got to get to resiliency in order
Speaker:for people to thrive.
Speaker:And so through that 4F process, they're
Speaker:studying my diets right now at the
Speaker:University of South Florida.
Speaker:And I'm telling you guys right now, we
Speaker:will see that the data that comes out of
Speaker:this is going to rock the nutrition and
Speaker:functional medicine world
Speaker:because we have figured it out.
Speaker:And it's not about one thing.
Speaker:It's about a process that creates pattern
Speaker:recognition that then holds your hand and
Speaker:mentally coaches you through it in order
Speaker:to achieve some level of freedom.
Speaker:And that's what we do.
Speaker:And now I'm just ready for
Speaker:the world to find out, man.
Speaker:Vince, you have created
Speaker:an incredible framework.
Speaker:And I can just attest to
Speaker:this being an effective model.
Speaker:Now, I know most coaches could likely
Speaker:take a client through
Speaker:what you've created.
Speaker:And they can probably
Speaker:get some level of results.
Speaker:But to be honest, that's not necessarily
Speaker:what makes a good health
Speaker:coach a good health coach.
Speaker:It's something you've
Speaker:mentioned earlier again.
Speaker:It's an order of operations things.
Speaker:Really knowing when, I suppose you think
Speaker:about it, which sort of
Speaker:phase to plug in at which time.
Speaker:Because you can work
Speaker:someone through a process.
Speaker:But if you don't have an intrinsic
Speaker:understanding of maybe the biology, the
Speaker:physiology, and how the process works,
Speaker:then you don't know when to progress
Speaker:somebody, when to progress somebody, when
Speaker:to sort of take somebody,
Speaker:yeah, backwards or forwards.
Speaker:I'd love to get your
Speaker:thoughts on this, though.
Speaker:How do you progress somebody who is maybe
Speaker:struggling and maybe not getting the
Speaker:results that they are
Speaker:after the first time round?
Speaker:Do you sort of take them
Speaker:straight back to the beginning?
Speaker:Or is there a,
Speaker:what are your thoughts there in terms of?
Speaker:Yeah, so the reason that I have the four
Speaker:step process embedded in there, Rob, is
Speaker:about 16 variables that we check off.
Speaker:And that's something that we train in the
Speaker:back end of like, if somebody comes in,
Speaker:first off, our job, if somebody comes in
Speaker:and says they feel some type of way, our
Speaker:first job is to believe them.
Speaker:So we're going to go so hard at what you
Speaker:believe to help you out.
Speaker:And if we get all the way to the end of
Speaker:the road, and we've checked off the 16
Speaker:most likely reasons that are all involved
Speaker:in the process, and if that doesn't work,
Speaker:there's only a couple left over.
Speaker:And so we know where to go.
Speaker:See, that's why
Speaker:deduction is so important.
Speaker:If I skip steps, and I'm doing whatever,
Speaker:or I do one treatment, if
Speaker:it doesn't work, then what?
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And that's where most
Speaker:people find themselves.
Speaker:Then what?
Speaker:In our program, then we've got a couple
Speaker:things left over where we go, okay, we
Speaker:know that this is either deeper genetic,
Speaker:and we're missing a
Speaker:mutation that is throwing us off.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Or we didn't get, we did not go deep into
Speaker:the cell enough, we need we need there's
Speaker:more cells and the body needs more time.
Speaker:There's only about two or three things
Speaker:left over that we know that we need to go
Speaker:in harder and spend more time with.
Speaker:And so sometimes we'll real quick run
Speaker:through the fore half just to open it
Speaker:back up and make sure it's where
Speaker:sometimes it helps to kind of like flush
Speaker:the system back out for a second, make
Speaker:sure you've checked your balances, but
Speaker:you get through it really quickly.
Speaker:And then we'll go to emphasize on the
Speaker:area that we got stuck in the most.
Speaker:And, and then we'll know how to go
Speaker:deeper, like, because how do you know
Speaker:where to really
Speaker:double down an investment?
Speaker:Otherwise, you're just throwing shit at
Speaker:the wall hoping it sticks, excuse my
Speaker:language, but it's kind of what happens.
Speaker:And so that's one of the reasons I feel
Speaker:so confidently like,
Speaker:like, let me give an example,
Speaker:Rob, breast implant illness.
Speaker:What is breast implant illness, right?
Speaker:We can argue a lot of things, but
Speaker:fundamentally what it is, is an
Speaker:autoimmune reaction to the implant.
Speaker:Okay, fundamentally.
Speaker:Now you can't have leakage, you can have
Speaker:all these different
Speaker:things, and that can be true.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But did you know, I've worked now 2000
Speaker:cases of BII or supposed BII.
Speaker:And did you know that less than 10% of
Speaker:them was actually the implant?
Speaker:It was the immune system reacting to all
Speaker:kinds of other things
Speaker:going on in the body.
Speaker:Once we got rid of that stuff, the body
Speaker:didn't react to the implant anymore.
Speaker:Yeah, that was just the trigger.
Speaker:The needle there broke the camel's back.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Think of the same logic here.
Speaker:Hashimoto's, do we
Speaker:just cut out the thyroid?
Speaker:No.
Speaker:Some people might.
Speaker:I know, graves, you might.
Speaker:I'm grave, I might argue that.
Speaker:But you can actually get the
Speaker:body back into homeostasis.
Speaker:Now,
Speaker:excluding leaks or a manufacturer error,
Speaker:like all that other stuff, which is
Speaker:probably accounts right now for about
Speaker:three to 6% of what's going on out there.
Speaker:I would say that one out of 10 women, the
Speaker:implant because of the immune system,
Speaker:it's the scar tissue.
Speaker:See, it's the scar tissue.
Speaker:If the implant because of the, you know
Speaker:how people who they don't do well if they
Speaker:put in fake earrings, or they get bad
Speaker:when they have a scar,
Speaker:it scars up real bad.
Speaker:Chemical sensitivities.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Those people have a very
Speaker:reactive immune system.
Speaker:And one thing about the immune system,
Speaker:when it's very
Speaker:reactive, it hates scar tissue.
Speaker:Hates it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so the problem with this is, is that
Speaker:what is a capsule are scar tissue.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:It's the body trying to protect you from
Speaker:what is already happening.
Speaker:I also see that by the way, I believe
Speaker:that's what's happening in most EBV Lyme
Speaker:cases where if there is something left
Speaker:over, the body starts to create, that's
Speaker:what I think senescent cells start to do.
Speaker:It encapsulates the virus.
Speaker:And we'll talk about that another time,
Speaker:which is really interesting to try to
Speaker:stop it from dividing.
Speaker:And those cells turn
Speaker:into senescent cells.
Speaker:If there is virus left over,
Speaker:that's where I think we find it.
Speaker:And so, again, that's another topic.
Speaker:That's why part of my process, we will
Speaker:use homeopathics with the
Speaker:viral signature if we need to.
Speaker:And then we start doing fast feasting
Speaker:strategies to train the body what to look
Speaker:for to go find it and get rid of it.
Speaker:But coming back to the implant.
Speaker:So what we end up finding is that most of
Speaker:the time, if I calm the immune imbalance
Speaker:down, it has no
Speaker:problem with the scar tissue.
Speaker:But those 10%,
Speaker:it will, the scar tissue has gotten so
Speaker:heavy, maybe something's growing on the
Speaker:scar tissue, like mold, by
Speaker:the way, which it can happen.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And then, or that there's so much damage
Speaker:to the scar tissue in some way that it
Speaker:just keeps drawing the immune system in,
Speaker:then they have to be removed.
Speaker:But the crazy thing is, if you go in and
Speaker:remove them and do a capsule, ectomy, or
Speaker:really get rid of a lot of scar tissue to
Speaker:let it reform another capsule, which is
Speaker:another conversation for another day.
Speaker:If you use a very aggressive immune
Speaker:protocol up front to shunt the immune
Speaker:response and prevent rejection, they can
Speaker:have the implants again with no problem.
Speaker:We've seen it.
Speaker:Now I'm not saying go
Speaker:back to the implant.
Speaker:I'm not even, I'm not a moral judge of
Speaker:like what you're doing with your body.
Speaker:I'm very interested in how the immune
Speaker:system learns and adapts
Speaker:and what it creates over time.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So a lot of people think it's
Speaker:the implant that's the problem.
Speaker:It's not.
Speaker:It's the scar tissue
Speaker:oftentimes from the capsule.
Speaker:Yeah, that's fascinating.
Speaker:I'm gonna have to look into that.
Speaker:That's something I've
Speaker:definitely learned today.
Speaker:I don't know that there was so much
Speaker:hyperactivity between scar
Speaker:tissue and any immune system.
Speaker:So I'll definitely You'll find that.
Speaker:And that's why a lot of times we'll have
Speaker:people go in and cut out, like if they go
Speaker:redo the surgery and kind of clean the
Speaker:scar tissue and then put in an immune.
Speaker:It could have been from a
Speaker:bad knee injury or something.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And we'll have them clean it out.
Speaker:And then we do, we shunt the immune
Speaker:system so it doesn't
Speaker:create more of it again.
Speaker:It's more of a, it's a
Speaker:safer healing process.
Speaker:And then they don't have the same
Speaker:reactions anymore,
Speaker:which is super fascinating.
Speaker:The point of why I'm sharing that, right,
Speaker:is to come back to finding out that if
Speaker:you don't work a deductive process, and
Speaker:you just remove the implants, you might
Speaker:feel a little bit better
Speaker:for about three months.
Speaker:But the overwhelming evidence today is
Speaker:over 60, 70% of people who have an X
Speaker:plant go back to feeling like crap,
Speaker:because you didn't get to
Speaker:the root of the problem.
Speaker:Yeah, you just potentially took out the
Speaker:trigger, but you didn't solve the you
Speaker:didn't get the immune system into a
Speaker:condition state where it actually needs
Speaker:to get into so that the body can then
Speaker:operate as it should do and get out of
Speaker:that cell danger response and back into
Speaker:normal cell physiology.
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:Vince gallbladder removal, gallbladder.
Speaker:Yeah, there we go. 90% of gallbladder
Speaker:removal ends in an autoimmune disease.
Speaker:I'm sure it does in 10 years.
Speaker:Yeah, because you're not dealing
Speaker:downstream with any sulfation,
Speaker:glucuronidation, any of the sort of
Speaker:hepatic buildup that sorry, I'm going to
Speaker:stop there before I can attend it.
Speaker:I know you got it, bro.
Speaker:You already you're
Speaker:spitting fire right now.
Speaker:Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker:Vince, honestly, I
Speaker:could talk to you all day.
Speaker:I know you have me come back, man.
Speaker:We'll do another one.
Speaker:If if your if your followers, listeners,
Speaker:watchers, if they say, Hey, bring that
Speaker:guy a crazy guy back,
Speaker:we'd love to hear him.
Speaker:I'll come back if they don't have fun in
Speaker:your audience, because you
Speaker:truly are one in a million.
Speaker:Before before I let you go, would you
Speaker:mind if we just ran through
Speaker:a few rapid fire questions?
Speaker:Rapid fire.
Speaker:Let's go.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:Perfect.
Speaker:Always good for reals.
Speaker:Okay, maybe go slightly against what we
Speaker:were just talking about.
Speaker:But if you had one wish for one lab that
Speaker:new clients arrived with you arrived
Speaker:with, what would it be?
Speaker:I'm gonna go genetics test.
Speaker:Genetics test because
Speaker:genetics are the future.
Speaker:It can tell me a lot about why your
Speaker:body's responding the way that it is.
Speaker:And I can add nutrients that will help it
Speaker:heal or resolve different issues.
Speaker:And it can help me forego any problems
Speaker:that I might run into that make you
Speaker:unique during the process.
Speaker:Yeah, no, I've still got to get my hands
Speaker:on your new DNA test when it finally it
Speaker:actually comes out the next month.
Speaker:That's awesome.
Speaker:Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker:Flush feed, fast or function, which is
Speaker:your personal favorite phase of the
Speaker:fourth process and why?
Speaker:Fast phase, fast phase spiritually, the
Speaker:Bible mentions a fasting 77 times,
Speaker:whether you agree that the Bible is a
Speaker:book of wisdom or a book of the living
Speaker:God, it's I don't want
Speaker:to argue that that's okay.
Speaker:But what I can tell you is that don't you
Speaker:think it's possible that if every
Speaker:religion in the world agrees on one thing
Speaker:that that one thing is probably truth.
Speaker:And do you know what that one thing is?
Speaker:Fasting?
Speaker:No, 100%.
Speaker:Perfect.
Speaker:Most overrated supplement in the
Speaker:industry, functional health in general.
Speaker:Oh boy, the most overrated supplement in
Speaker:the industry is without a doubt, in my
Speaker:professional opinion, right?
Speaker:And I'm gonna ruffle some some feathers
Speaker:here, probably most likely is fish oil.
Speaker:And the reason I say fish oil is most
Speaker:fish oil is is not certified by a third
Speaker:party, it's not made correctly, the oil
Speaker:is rancidified, or it's not even rancid,
Speaker:it's just dead, which
Speaker:is an anisodyne level.
Speaker:And everybody takes it thinking it's
Speaker:going to be the thing to their future.
Speaker:And they're not even taking one that has
Speaker:enough EPA, DHEA in it.
Speaker:And they're not taking a large enough
Speaker:dose that is going to
Speaker:create a medicinal outcome.
Speaker:Over time, I think the
Speaker:research over touts it.
Speaker:And I think that people, you know, they
Speaker:should be wise about where they're
Speaker:getting the fish oil from.
Speaker:Yeah, no, I couldn't agree.
Speaker:I mean, when you start looking at those
Speaker:totox values on a fish oil test, and the
Speaker:oxidation in them is just nuts.
Speaker:And then obviously, a lot of people
Speaker:actually can't break down fish oils into
Speaker:their active
Speaker:components, what are they called?
Speaker:Not SMPs?
Speaker:Yeah, well, there's going from your
Speaker:arachnidonic or oleic acids.
Speaker:And the problem with fads too, is you
Speaker:can't break that down.
Speaker:That's the genetic.
Speaker:So it's like that's part of the problem.
Speaker:Once again, that's why I want that
Speaker:genetics test, you know?
Speaker:Yeah, no, completely.
Speaker:Yeah, that's going to bite me.
Speaker:I'll probably I'll send an email one in
Speaker:the morning when I remember what I'm
Speaker:trying to sort of jump to.
Speaker:Anyway, okay, next one.
Speaker:Say someone drops 100 million into your
Speaker:lab tomorrow to run a
Speaker:large scale clinical trial.
Speaker:What are you spending that money on?
Speaker:A large scale clinical trial.
Speaker:I'm going to go stem cell H-BOT treatment
Speaker:used in unison on almost any
Speaker:disease, IV and injectable, um,
Speaker:using in conjunction
Speaker:with functional medicine.
Speaker:The clinic I want to make that I'm going
Speaker:to make soon with IV stem cell, that's
Speaker:where I'm going to go with peptides
Speaker:together, bringing you in for a week,
Speaker:lots of oxygen, the oxygen
Speaker:is a healer and it can't hurt.
Speaker:That's why we need to just
Speaker:blast people with oxygen, right?
Speaker:And, and I believe that if we create
Speaker:centers that allow people to get
Speaker:corresponding treatments in unison in a
Speaker:short period of time and get them back in
Speaker:their life and then get them a coach to
Speaker:work the rest of the process, I believe
Speaker:that that is the future.
Speaker:So my first clinic that's going to
Speaker:approach this is, uh, is
Speaker:coming very, very, very soon.
Speaker:I often wonder if I just sent everybody a
Speaker:male to my transportable H-BOT, which is
Speaker:hyperbaric in case anybody knows, and you
Speaker:did anything with H-BOT in conjunction.
Speaker:What could the outcomes be?
Speaker:And, but I believe stem cells and oxygen
Speaker:exposed at the same time.
Speaker:I believe very heavily that that is a
Speaker:massive part of our future.
Speaker:Yeah, no, no, I couldn't agree more.
Speaker:I think there might be a few
Speaker:contraindication to some viruses like BOT
Speaker:and they learned something as
Speaker:far as they know you are right.
Speaker:Active.
Speaker:You are correct.
Speaker:Yeah, you are correct.
Speaker:In fact, it happened to me.
Speaker:I did stem cells recently had gotten
Speaker:COVID and it put me
Speaker:back in a full action.
Speaker:It made me very sick.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And again, that just speaks to your, uh,
Speaker:your, your understanding of the subject
Speaker:matter and, and knowing the
Speaker:order of operations again.
Speaker:Anyway.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Final one.
Speaker:Um, and I'll, I'll
Speaker:actually put that to Dr.
Speaker:Dale Khan, who I'm sure
Speaker:you are familiar with.
Speaker:I'll be chatting to him in a few weeks
Speaker:and I'd love to get his take on that.
Speaker:But anyway, um, cold therapy
Speaker:versus sawn for overall health.
Speaker:It depends what stage.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:If you've been highly chronically
Speaker:inflamed for a very, very long time, he
Speaker:activates phase one immune function.
Speaker:So we want it.
Speaker:We want to stay away from it and use cold
Speaker:shock proteins in the acute and halfway
Speaker:through the subacute phase.
Speaker:Once we've achieved a level of
Speaker:inflammation, as it starts to come down,
Speaker:the detox pathways are more open, right?
Speaker:And then we can start applying contrast
Speaker:where we apply them together, usually in
Speaker:some form of a 10 minutes heat to two
Speaker:minutes cold, and you can
Speaker:run rounds of it if you want.
Speaker:But I'm telling everybody, I'm begging
Speaker:people to understand, I
Speaker:know you don't want this,
Speaker:but cold therapy is the primary way that
Speaker:we should be attacking most problems that
Speaker:are in the chronic phase in the
Speaker:preventative phase, more heat, but in the
Speaker:chronic phase, more cold and truthfully
Speaker:putting them together kind of mitigates
Speaker:the risk of the
Speaker:downside of any one of them.
Speaker:And I believe very heavily we use cold
Speaker:therapy and undoubtedly is an
Speaker:incredible, incredible tool.
Speaker:Yeah, no, it's amazing.
Speaker:And people just get again, it speaks to
Speaker:what you were talking about earlier,
Speaker:people getting hooked up on one modality.
Speaker:So one is going to hear all your issues.
Speaker:If you're going to chronically
Speaker:overexpressed immune system and you blast
Speaker:a lot of heat at it, all of a sudden,
Speaker:you've got a histamine reaction and
Speaker:people sort of get sort of lost in this
Speaker:sort of, why do I feel worse?
Speaker:That's why right now, when we're under
Speaker:record heat, this is why immune problems
Speaker:are going to get, as we get hotter,
Speaker:immune problems are
Speaker:going to get way worse.
Speaker:So global warming is going to create more
Speaker:medical issues than we realize.
Speaker:And so that's why, and you know, that's
Speaker:one of the biggest problems, right?
Speaker:And so what I just want people to
Speaker:realize, anything that you do to the
Speaker:body, anything you do to the human body,
Speaker:the most optimal amount of time that you
Speaker:should probably do it in general as a
Speaker:general rule is 12 weeks.
Speaker:Why is it 12 weeks?
Speaker:Because the human body has grown and
Speaker:developed and shaped its
Speaker:DNA around seasons, right?
Speaker:So it's used to having to acclimate to a
Speaker:new environment and having a pro response
Speaker:to that environment and then going into a
Speaker:maladaptive response.
Speaker:Think about the cold.
Speaker:When it starts getting cold, man, all
Speaker:kinds of good things can happen.
Speaker:But when you stay cold too long and then
Speaker:illness and lack of sunlight, all these
Speaker:different things start to
Speaker:affect, you know, death rates.
Speaker:And then we move into spring
Speaker:and there's all these benefits.
Speaker:But then with spring
Speaker:comes allergy, right?
Speaker:So like there's a pro and a maladaptive
Speaker:response and it happens over
Speaker:a 12-week timeframe, right?
Speaker:Which is about the
Speaker:optimal amount of time.
Speaker:So if I'm just doing cold for 12 weeks
Speaker:and I'm getting
Speaker:really deep into it, fine.
Speaker:But probably at the end of 12, maybe we
Speaker:should throw in some heat.
Speaker:Maybe we take a break.
Speaker:Maybe we do contrast.
Speaker:Maybe we only do heat.
Speaker:That's why variation is
Speaker:the key to optimal living.
Speaker:And it's very hard for
Speaker:us consistent, you know,
Speaker:structured human beings to adopt
Speaker:variation in a meaningful sort of way.
Speaker:But once we begin to understand what I'm
Speaker:saying, you start to see everything that
Speaker:way and it starts to become a little
Speaker:easier to apply in the mastery of it.
Speaker:Vince, you're amazing.
Speaker:And I'm not just saying that you, you
Speaker:understand this better
Speaker:than almost anyone I know.
Speaker:So thank you for the time.
Speaker:Come and fish you.
Speaker:That means a lot, man.
Speaker:And you guys support Rob.
Speaker:He's an incredible guy.
Speaker:He's lived it.
Speaker:I know, I know his journey.
Speaker:I've stood alongside of him.
Speaker:If anybody is a pursuer of truth and it
Speaker:is genuine, it is this man.
Speaker:So continue to listen to him as he
Speaker:explores truth over the
Speaker:next months and years.
Speaker:So thanks Rob.
Speaker:Thank you for your time, Vince.
Speaker:Awesome.
Speaker:See you, brother.
