Host Shawn French interviews Dr. Hadar Sophia, a holistic doctor and 'wounded healer,' to discuss misconceptions about health, vaccine safety concerns, and functional medicine approaches to treating chronic conditions. The episode covers detoxification protocols, heavy metal and parasite cleansing, and Dr. Sophia's non-toxic skincare product line.
Insights
- Western medicine's diagnostic limitations leave patients without answers when standard tests appear normal, creating demand for functional medicine practitioners who investigate root causes like parasites, heavy metals, and mold
- Detoxification is a lifestyle practice requiring 3-6 months of consistent effort, not a quick-fix fad diet, with measurable progress through repeated testing rather than immediate results
- Aesthetic health (looking fit) can mask serious internal health issues; comprehensive blood work and functional testing reveal hidden toxicities that standard medical protocols miss
- Non-toxic personal care products represent a growing consumer segment, particularly among women concerned about post-surgical scarring and pregnancy-related body changes
- Holistic practitioners differentiate themselves through documented patient outcomes and clinical work rather than social media presence alone
Trends
Rising consumer skepticism toward conventional medical protocols and increased interest in functional/holistic medicine alternativesGrowing market for non-toxic, clean beauty and personal care products targeting post-surgical and pregnancy-related skin concernsBiohacking and wellness optimization moving mainstream with emphasis on sauna therapy, cold exposure, and detoxification protocolsIncreased focus on gut health, microbiome restoration, and parasitic cleansing as foundational health interventionsDemand for telemedicine-based functional medicine consultations enabling remote patient access to holistic practitionersHeavy metal and environmental toxin testing becoming standard practice in functional medicine diagnosticsWellness practitioners building credibility through clinical results and patient testimonials rather than influencer marketingIntegration of Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostics (tongue analysis, meridian theory) with modern functional medicine protocols

vaccines that alters DNA. Let's really dig into that part. I want to know what that actually means. Sure. And then I'll also want to know if there's a way out of it. Yeah, so I don't recommend any vaccines, period. By the way, the COVID vaccine is not a vaccine. It is a gene therapy, does alter your genetic DNA. Unfortunately, it's filled with chemicals and the spike, which replicates in the body, attaches to certain organs and can attack it. From aldehydes and heavy metals, things that you would never consume or inject in anyone, and that's what's in them. That's so crazy. Yeah. Aborted fetal cells, monkey, kidney cells, canine kidney cells. I mean, they're animal. Aborted fetal cells. Yes, that's how they make it. Did you say aborted fetal cells? I totally did. That's how they make them. And we're putting that in our bodies, in our children's bodies. And we are altering the kids' DNAs. It doesn't just stay inside of injection. It integrates with your DNA. If you're injecting those things and you are actually weakening your immune system, and then you're injecting DNA that doesn't belong to you, what is that going to do to your body? What's going on, everybody? I got a great one for you today. My friend, Dr. Hadar Sophia, creator of Vibrant Glow. She's a holistic doctor. And she's the, what did you call yourself, though? The wounded healer? Is that what it is? I am a wounded healer. A wounded healer. And I'll explain exactly what it means. You should like to know. I would love to hear that. The audience would love to hear that. But you're going to have a great episode today. We're going to talk a lot about health, a lot about the misconceptions of what is healthy, you know, probably get into a little bit of a personal conversation with me, because there's some things that I've been trying to figure out over the years. But what a wealth of knowledge that you guys are going to have in front of you today. Learn from her and definitely seek her out and just dive into what she's doing on a normal, everyday basis. So without further ado, welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Sean. I'm so happy and honored to be here. I'm glad you drove over here. You brought Mia? Yes, I did. You brought Mia in my little rescue, right? From Big Dog Ranch Rescue, right? Yep. Big Dog Ranch. She's a back friend. I love these Simmons and she's doing it right, isn't she? She's amazing and they are amazing. They trained her really well and they have been amazing. That's funny because I, right before I was like, Hey, I did a show. Like, don't worry about it. We've had dogs on set before. You're like, that's where I got her. Every single pup, like we had, we had dogs on set. We had multiple dogs on set. Awesome. They did not, well, the one on my lap moved a lot because like she, she chose me, but then I was told I couldn't bring her home. Like no more dogs. But she's calm. She's cool. I put essential oils on her. I feed her grass fed meat, wild fish. Okay. Look at her. She's living her life. She's, she's living the life. Come on. She eats like a queen or like a king more so. King of queen. Doesn't matter. She's well fed. She's awesome too. No, but thank you so much for coming over. I know you hit some traffic and really excited to dive in today and have you on the show and, and just talk about your career and where you came from. So why don't you show the audience if they, obviously if they don't know anything about you, give them your background. Sure. So I'm originally from Israel. I was in a military there and after the military, I had moved to New York city. I went to nursing school before September. Actually, during September 11, I was still there in New York. After that, I had to just leave nursing school right towards the end. I couldn't take it anymore. Many reasons. I always wanted to be a doctor and look at the root cause of helping patients, not just pieces and parts, but the whole person. And I've had a bigger calling than just treating, you know, Western and not looking at the entire cause. And so I went into pre-med and then acupuncture in Chinese medicine. While I was doing that and after the military, so backtrack a little, I was in the Israeli Air Force for a couple of years. Back then, we used to get a lot of vaccines and I really wasn't feeling well for a long time. And after the military and while I was in school, I was just not well. I was probably 20, 30 pounds overweight than I am now. Puffy, tired. My spleen was enlarged. So swollen, splenomegaly. I was sleeping 16, 18 hours a day and I was still trying to run and I couldn't function. Wow. And no doctor could really figure out what was wrong with me. And that's where holistic medicine, nutrition, changing my lifestyle, everything came about. This is where I knew I had to help others because I was helped with functional medicine, holistic medicine, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, iridology, nutrition, everything holistic. And that changed my life and saved my life. Of course, you know, when you're healing, you're going to get sicker for a bit. So I used to throw up and just feel so unwell. And when I was starting to detox, my tongue code was black. This is crazy, like black. So you know how I asked you to check your tongue? Because when we look at tongues in Chinese medicine, it really tells me everything that's going on internally within the person. So I can tell what's going on if there is turbidity, if they're heavy metals, what's going on with your heart, your spleen, your liver, your kidneys, gallbladder, like so many organs. And that really helps me. So for me, when I was detoxing and my tongue code was black and I was feeling so sick, but then everything started clearing out and now I have no code. Like it's thin, it's pink, it's much, much healthier. But you never know that from Western medicine, right? And this is one of the main reasons why I decided to go the holistic route is to really look at everything from A to Z. And this is what I do today. This is really cool and timely for me personally. And I think for a lot of people that really give a shit about their health and they are sick and tired of Western medicine because they will put you through the, it's almost like the prison system. I mean, like, I mean that loosely, I mean, I'm being very sarcastic. But years ago, when I told you about my liver enzyme issue that is still there, they put me through ultrasounds. They put me through CAT scans. They put me through MRIs and MRIs and CAT scans with contrast and without contrast. So I did all that, right? And then I also did a trans jugular liver biopsy. Like I remember being in that CATH lab and they went here and they pulled three samples. I felt it being tight and, you know, I had a patch on my, on my, my jugular for a day or two. And they said, it came back and like, you know, nothing concerning. There's nothing there. And I'm like, what do you mean there's nothing there? Like, I'm great. I'm glad there's, there's no cancer for, for crying out loud. It's my liver. But the thing that really freaked me out is they couldn't fucking tell me what was wrong with me. And they go, well, just getting better shape and, you know, eat better. Well, at that time, I was, I was very small. I was probably 190. You know, right now, I'm about 185. I'm in way better shape than I've ever been, but my levels are still really high, you know, and no one can tell me, I even went to infectious disease. I really did. After I got the the trans jugular liver biopsy back, I went to infectious disease and they're like, I don't know what to tell you, maybe change your nutrition. I'm like, like what? And they go, well, why don't you try going vegan? I said, it's funny you say that. Because for the last six months, that's what I was doing. And it still didn't change. And it didn't change a thing. So there's something going on. I think everybody has things like, you know, you said to me like, Hey, there could be, you know, some gut issues going on, you know, some turbidity. See, I listen. Yeah. I don't know what that word means. Pay attention to school. I'll tell you. I don't know what that word means, but, but I mean, for the, for, you know, for everybody listening, and this is just a super important conversation because I try to do everything right. Right. You know, I don't eat a lot of processed foods. It's maybe once a week that all probably not your food. It's, it's not my food. Right. Like, I mean, I don't feel like I look unhealthy, but if you look at my blood work, it's like, okay, look at those liver enzymes. It's like, what are we going to do? Right. So what I would do in that case, right? If I were your doctor, I would, you're going to be so continue. Awesome. All right. Cool. I look forward to helping you. I would look at parasites because most people have parasites. And if you ever have pets around you, eat raw sushi, fish, pork, anything, you're human. If you're human, you have parasites. If you have pulse, you have, everyone has parasites. And so unless you really cleanse them and they can be in every organ. And so parasites also hold on to heavy metals. If you have heavy metals, which you probably do, because most people do or mold, there could be lime, there could be so many underlying causes and misdiagnosed causes, right? That are hiding in your body that Western doctors will not check. If they're not checking for lime mold, heavy metals, parasites, any of those toxicities, then they're not going to find the root cause. And unless you really detox properly and not just change the diet a little bit, that's great. But unless you really detox properly, sweat every day, have proper bowel movement, right? Do your lemon water, do alkalize your body. There's so many things you can do about that's where we have to dig into infections, toxins, nutritional deficiencies, nutritional toxicities. What else are you doing? What is your environment that you live in? Is there mold in the house? Right? What are you taking on a daily basis? What supplements are you taking? What's your... Just so many things to look into. So many different things. Yeah. I mean, sleep everything. You know, it's interesting because I don't drink. Emotions. And I don't drink. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. No, I mean, I used to. I mean, I was a professional drinker in college. I was a baseball player. Like, so we did all that, right? College. It's okay. Yeah. And that's what they kind of said to me when they got my results back. Well, it looks like you went to college. I'm like, okay, that's what you got for me. Like, what the fuck? Right. It's not from college. No. And here's the other thing too, what these doctors in Western medicine don't understand. I think what's really hard is when you have three children and you want, you know, three million dollars of life insurance, which only qualify 400 because you're liver enzymes, and I'm completely healthy. Right. Right. But they think in the algorithm or whatever it is, that that is a precursor for something else. Now, I did hear something because I'm connected to my half-brother. My biological father, I didn't really grow up around him and mom. They split when I was two. But apparently he has, he's pre-diabetic. So I don't know if that's part of it or see, again, you don't, I don't think so. But I have to look at the entire picture. I have to look at the whole, you know, what other labs do they draw? Is it just CBC? Is it just CMP? Is it just lipid? Like, is it just deliver? Like, what did they actually draw? I don't know. It was so long ago. And what we could do, blood work, whatever, I can come, I can even come over there next week and get it everything done. Yeah, we can definitely order stuff. I would be down to drive over there because for me, it's important because I always think of this. If you have a baseline, right, like, I feel freaking amazing, right? But do I? But do I? Because I don't, I don't know. Like, I've never, you know, I, it was always such a hard road for me to get to where I'm at physically. But I can tell you this last couple of weeks, I'm constantly tired. Yeah, you know, I feel strong when I'm in the gym, but like, I'm tired. Okay. I'm super tired. But like, I don't know what it feels like, because obviously there's something going on. Definitely heavy metal. I mean, come on, like, I mean, that's definite. Parasites probably. But I mean, this is just so interesting to me, because like, this is something that is happening real time in my life. And I want to fix it. Right. I'll help you. We'll dig into what's going on. I'll ask you a million questions. We'll run tests. Yeah. Don't worry. I got your back. Okay. Yeah. And deliver. Yeah. I mean, but that's the thing. And, and, and more people, I think, are looking for direction like this and in treatment. Right. But they don't know where to go because they get lost on the internet. So how does one, obviously for the listeners, you guys get the pleasure of being introduced to her. So you're going to go to her website and you're going to go check her out and contact her on our contact forums. That way, you know, the holistic doctor you can trust, but there's a lot of them out there, you know, and there's a, there's a big difference with you though. And I want to edify you really quickly. Okay. So when you think I'm not paying attention, I'm very, I am very much so. This message is sponsored by Raycon.

Most of these holistic doctors are trying to make their name on Instagram and social platforms. Like, yeah, you post, you do all that stuff, but your real proof is online. Your real proof is in the work that you do. And I think that's a big difference. So I can immediately say professional versus not. And so I can quickly make the decision that I will drive over there next week and I will do this. I will do it Monday for crying out loud because it's so important to me and I've already done my background and I've already kind of seen everything behind the scenes of kind of, and I've already met you before. Yeah. Right. We met at a biohacking event, right? And that was cool, right? That was awesome. But yeah, I just, I'm passionate about this stuff because it's one thing to look like you're healthy, but it's another thing to really feel good. And if you haven't felt really good, you don't know what that feels like. So I, honestly, I could be, I could be feeling like dog shit right now. I wouldn't know. I couldn't tell you. Right. Because this is baseline. I have a lot of people and patients and people that I've known throughout the years that I've treated who look, you look amazing, by the way, who look amazing, fit, athletic, triathletes, cyclists, whatever. And their blood pressure is super high. Their cholesterol levels are super high. They have 70% blockage. They're, so blood pressure, they're diabetic, but they don't look it, right? So unless you, you can look amazing, right? But what's going on internally? Because you can be lean, you can be healthy, you can exercise, sleep, whatever. But if you don't feel great, if you're tired, if you're a little thargic, if something is dragging, if something is not right, and then the blood work shows it, there's definitely an underlying reason for that that has to be dug deeper. Hey guys, we're going to take a quick break and we're going to slide into our recovery segment brought to you by TheraBody. What an amazing technology that TheraBody has. And it was founded on a really cool story by Dr. Jason Worslund. It was founded on pain. He got into an accident and had this extreme pain in his arm and found that percussive therapy really helped. So he created the very first version of the TheraGun with a Makita Drill, just a pilot and test to see if his pain could be relieved by percussive therapy overall. And surely it was. So now birth to the TheraGun and now TheraBody, who has a multitude of products to help you recover emotionally and physically. And some of the products even help with stress, meditation, and better sleep, and just overall better wellness. And when I had Dr. Jay on the show earlier in 2025, it really spoke to me because his platform was founded out of physical pain, and the Determined Society was founded out of emotional pain. And so it felt natural for us to partner up. So here we are, an official partnership with TheraBody. And I want to talk to you about some of the products today that I've been enjoying, that I think you need to understand and know more about so you could potentially implement them into your life. And I'm not going to get into a big deep dive of the actual science and everything like that. I'm just going to give you some anecdotal information based on the products that I'm using and that my wife is actually using too, that is helping us out a great deal at home. Because the great thing about these products, guys, is you can use them anywhere. You can use them in the gym, you can use them at home, in your bed, in your living room, hell, you can even drive with a TheraGun Pro Plus in your car and use it on your quads, use it on your arms, whatever that is. The first thing I want to talk about is the TheraGun Pro Plus. I bring that in my gym bag every day to the gym. And when I'm warming up, I use it to warm up. I put it on my arms, whatever body part I'm using that day, I activate those muscles. And what I find is, I'm able to move my body a lot quicker. And I'm a lot stronger on those days that I do actually bring it and utilize it. I just think it's a great way to understand your body and the connection between your strength and your muscles and being warm and being able to perform. Because it's one thing to go work out, but it's another thing to perform while you're doing it. And the TheraGun Pro Plus helps me do that. Another thing that I really truly enjoy is the Jet Boots Pro Plus. These things are wire free. There's no hassle. There's no cords. There's infrared LED light. There's that compression therapy. And I've been having bad pains in my ankles, both of them actually, for about a year. And I don't understand where it's coming from. But when I started using the boots, religiously, after a leg day or after a cardio session, I throw those boots on and I find myself a lot looser afterwards. I find myself lighter. And then the next day, there's no pain in my lower extremity, like my feet. The other thing that I really enjoy is that product really helps me recover a lot quicker. And let's face it, that's the most important thing when we're trying to move our bodies or we're trying to succeed in life is we want quick recovery emotionally and physically. And these products help me do that and it can help you do that as well. One of the other things that I really want to go into, because it's helping my wife out a ton with headaches and being able to distract from the noise in her mind. And honestly, it helps me with that too, is the smart goggles. Whenever we feel a slight headache coming on, or things are getting really heavy just in our minds, just thinking about all the stressors, all the things out there that we can't control, we throw the goggles on, getting a quiet place. And there's different cycles on there and different intensities of vibrations and massaging that you can either turn it up or turn it down. And what I really enjoy is it allows me to focus on what's going on with just me and I think about things. And the massaging with the smart goggles relieves either headaches and it relaxes me and relaxes my wife to a point where we can fall asleep better. We are preparing to kind of downshift and shut down and slow down for the evening. So I heavily recommend them. The other thing it's really good for is just creating a peaceful time in your day. And what I've found since using the smart goggles and then the other products is it works for me, it works for my family and I know it can work for you too. So I want you guys to think about things that you are struggling with. If it's lower back pain or you wake up in the morning, your neck is tight, I'm going to tell you the TheraGun Pro Plus will help that out. They have cold therapy on it, hot therapy. I mean, think about that. When I opened that box and realized that I could have heat therapy and cold therapy and the TheraGun changed everything for me and also really made the thing that I hate doing the most is warm up. Made that very easy for me just by applying it to the muscle group that I'm going to use before I do it and in between sets, which promotes quicker recovery between sets. So if you're looking to go high volume or to lift heavy weights, I strongly consider that. All these products are there to help you move along in your day with less pain and recover quicker. So go check it out because now, like I said, the official partnership has begun. And from now until the end of March, in your first order, you get 15% off your first order, not every order. So if you're going to buy some stuff, load up there in that cart for that first time and you get 15% off, go to TheraBody.com and at checkout, the code is determined. So let me know how you guys like it until then. Stay determined. Yeah, yeah. And I agree. I think when we, when we, when people look at health, right, they feel it's the aesthetic version. In my opinion, when I was trying to get in really good shape, I was focused on the aesthetic portion of it. I'll look at it like that. Most people do. I don't look at it like that anymore because I think there's so much shame there and you're all, you're constantly comparing yourself to somebody else. What I look at is, I just want to be here for a very long time for my kids. Of course. You know, because like as a 47 year old man, I got a, I got a, my youngest is seven. So a seven year old daughter, a nine-year old daughter and 12 year old son. I want to walk them down the aisle, right? My daughters. I want to play with my grandchildren. Like I want to be here until like I'm a hundred and something years old, but I want to be functional, right? So hopefully they, they figure out the orthopedic thing while people are living longer. So they're not sitting in bed like I'm alive, but I can't move because my joints are screwed. But you know, for me, it's so much more. It is, how is your body really working? And do you know your body? Are you truly healthy on the inside? Because there's so many young people now. I mean, we just had somebody turn into a really good friend, her and her husband. She's battling stage three breast cancer and she's 34 years old. She got diagnosed when she was 33. Last November, literally right smack dab in the middle of freaking holidays, like happy holidays, right? And she's a, and she's battling and she's kicking ass. But you know, she's young. And so we don't know what we're exposed to here. Right? You know, like it's important to know these things. 100%. And I'm really curious too, you know, since the COVID sham, the jabs and you're not jabbed. No, I had to, I was in medical industry. So in order, that's my next question. So that can be another root cause. But it was before that too though. Okay. So to be clear, my liver enzymes were high when I was selling payroll. We can blame it on payroll, because that was a stressful. That was a stressful job. But no, like, so to your, to your question, during COVID, you know, the OR shut down and then they opened them back up. But once the vaccine became available, they required you if you were going to be credentialed and be in the hospitals that you had to have two doses for sure. And then when, once you had your second dose, when the third dose came around and it was time, they made you get the third dose. No way. Yeah. So I've had three doses. Oh wow. I'm sorry to hear that. And you know what? Like, We got to detox you from that. Yeah, but let's do it. But here's the thing, like, at the time, I didn't know. I mean, there's all this, you know, rhetoric going on, like, the jab versus not the jab, the left versus the right. I'm just like, Oh my gosh. I just don't want to get fired. I want, I mean, I make a lot of money. I want to be able to, like, pay for my kids. You know what I mean? So for me, it was like a, I have to do this right now. But I mean, once they released that, like, I never got another one. I haven't had a flu shot since I left the medical industry and I did get flu A this year. I did get flu A, knock me on my ass, but I didn't die. I'm just fine. You know, like, I, you know, like, I'm okay with getting sick. Like, if you're going to get sick, you're going to get sick. But as of now, like, I'm not taking any flu shots. I haven't, I haven't done anything like that. But yeah, it's your question. I did, I did have the vaccine. Yeah. So I don't recommend any vaccines period. If you look at the ingredients of every vaccine and by the way, the COVID vaccine is not a vaccine. Unfortunately, it is a gene therapy, does alter your genetic DNA. Unfortunately, it's filled with chemicals and the spike, which replicates in the body, attaches to certain organs and can attack it. So we, I'm curious to see your spike levels too. And there are great tests to see that, to make sure, you know, are they high, we need to lower them, what's going on in your body, because that can really be another factor. Even if you've had it before, that can add to the toxins in your body. So we definitely want to make sure that we are working on cleansing them out of your system eventually. It's interesting because, you know, we're on the vaccine conversation now, which hopefully YouTube doesn't silence us on this. Oh, sure. So we should probably, yeah. We can, you can, Fuck it. Like, I don't care. Mute our words. Yeah. The V word. It's, here's the thing. Like, even, even with, no, it's an interesting conversation. Like, you know, I would rather bring the great conversation for people to learn and be educated and make their own decision than worry about YouTube analytics. It was just a bad joke. But the, you know, when we talk about all that, you know, especially with kids, like little ones, you know, like there's, there's a cluster of them that come. And a lot of times there's been parents and people that have claimed that their children were completely fine before the MMR and whatever one it was. Yeah. Yes. And then autism. Right. Right. Interesting. Well, if you look at the ingredients and the adjuvants in the V, the, the jabs, any of them, unfortunately, the heavy metals in there are outrageous. Like aluminum, mercury, thymur, so is still in most vaccines, aluminum is in all vaccines as well. Fetal, aborted fetal cells, monkey, kidney cells, canine kidney cells. I mean, they're aborted fetal cells. Yes. That's how they make it. Did you say aborted fetal cells? That's how they make them. And we're putting that in our bodies, in our children's bodies. And we are altering the kids' DNAs. And in my opinion, and there's a lot I can say about those now. I don't want to sound crazy, but there's so much good stuff, like so much interesting stuff in there. But the ingredients, just the heavy metal adjuvants, and as a baby, your blood brain barrier is still open. And if you're injecting the aluminum, the heavy metals in your baby or in anyone, right? And you also have polysorbate 80 and 20, which is a surfactant. It opens your blood brain barrier. And you're injecting those heavy metals with the opener of the blood brain barrier. That goes straight to their brain. Then they get brain enlargement, right? And, and they bang the head to the wall, they're getting fevers, you give them Tylenol, that's a double whammy. Tylenol depletes your glutathione, which is the master antioxidant in your body, which helps detox. So if you're vaccinating them, giving them Tylenol, you're not only filling them with the heavy metals that go straight to your brain, and then you have brain damage, right? Seizures, brain damage, brain swelling. But then you're also giving them the Tylenol which lowers your glutathione, they cannot detox that. That's when we're seeing increased amounts of an increased rates of autism and all these other, you know, health issues and seeds, and you name it. Unfortunately in cancers, right? So my take is, and I am not, I have been injured by vaccines before myself as well. I had autoimmune, I believe I healed it with everything that I was doing with the detox and the nutrition supplements, everything. And I'm actually doing a thyroid and autoimmune webinar next week. I was supposed to do it yesterday, it's going to be postponed for next week due to computer issues. But yeah, mercury retrograde, thanks. How to buy a new Mac. Hold on, is mercury really in retrograde right now? Yeah. Okay, sidebar, sidebar. I was talking to my friend Matthew Dillon on the way over here, and I said, Hey man, I haven't talked to you much this week. He's my publicist, we haven't talked much this week. I was like, dude, I'm sorry. He's like, no, wait, I have to apologize. I was like, no, no, no. I've been going through it this week, bro. Like I am tired. I'm pissed off. I don't know what it is. I was like, maybe I'm some basic chick that said, I don't know. I said, is mercury in retrograde? He's like, I don't know, but something's going on. And now you're saying it is. Yes, it is. Good Lord. And that's what happens, you know, things happen, communications, had issues with that, computers, like anything, um, oh my gosh, electrical, anything. We're good here. Yeah, we're good here. This place is like Fort Knox. Okay, this place is, this place doesn't go down. No, it has before actually. It has before the fiber optic, not today though, not today. Right. So yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, because hold on. I know we're jumping from topic to topic, but yeah, that's what happens in real conversation. Right. It's so funny because like, I don't know if you've ever saw, um, you know who Matt Reif is, right? The comedian, like the blonde, good looking guy. That's funny is how that does the crowd work. Yeah. Well, he starts making fun and his first specialty is starting to see, making fun of all these chicks talking about mercury and retrograde. He's like, that planet doesn't even know you. It's not, you know, you're picking up this like glass bottle, like, ooh, this is my stone, like, shut up, you know, but I really think there's something to it. And I don't know what it is, but this week, yeah, I've, I've, I've been battling like, like to a point where, you know, I was telling Ryan yesterday, I was like, I don't feel like those shows were, were me. And he's like, no, they were great, but I'm not like, I feel better today. Right. But it's like, you knew I was coming. Yeah, I know. I was like, I gotta be on this chick smart. I got, I got, I got to be on, but I just felt like I wasn't myself. Yeah. And there's nothing wrong. Like, literally everything I've been dealing with this week is all good shit, but it's just kind of moving like this. And it's frustrating the piss out of me. I hear you. You know, it's okay. We are the year of the horse. So we like to move things and we like to move things fast. We like to just go. Yeah. Right. I'm the same way. I don't have time to wait. Right. You know, like, what are you waiting ever do? Right, right. It's funny though. Mercury is in retrograde. Yep. What does it actually mean? This message is sponsored by Raycon.

Means the planet is not moving forward and it's retrograding and it's just messing up communications and electricity and electrode. Who knows, like all kinds of stuff. I'm not an astrologer, but I have one. Okay. Oh, you do have one. Good Lord. You got everything. Sarasota, she's great. Sarasota, there's a lot of great people in Sarasota. You know I was going to move there and then I was thinking of moving to Naples. You need to move to Naples. I know I'm still thinking about it. And my friends in Boca are like, what are you doing moving to Naples? I own a really beautiful condo on the beach in Boca, but Boca is beautiful. It's nice. I mean, Heelsboro Beach, really. But I do love the West Coast too. We got a lot of friends over here. You got me, you got Patrick Deere, one of us, and people over here. I know I have a lot of great people here. See the table? You love going to there. I love it. I'm going to go after here. You're going to go after here? Yes. I know. I know. I've got another. Yes. How long does it take to get to Boca from here? Two hours. No traffic today. So by the time I'm done, you're going to be well on your way. I have a dinner that my neighbor is making for me and my other neighbors. It's nice. Oh, look at that. We're hosted tonight. Oh, very cool. What are you guys going to have? I don't know. She's a chef and she's like, what are your food allergies? Oh, speaking of food allergies. By the way, vaccines can literally lead to that as well, unfortunately, because it completely destroys your innate immune system, your gut microbiome, which can throw you off. So unfortunately, also after military vaccines, nursing school vaccines, which this is where I stopped because I knew there was something about them, made me so, so, so sick every single time. And I kept getting sicker and I was like, something is not right. So I looked deeper into that. That was part of my doctorate, researching a lot of it. But food allergies, unfortunately, I suffer from them too. So I have to be very careful. Like ginger will make me like fish. Really? So I got a funny story about ginger. So when I was first dating my wife, she lived in Brickle and she goes, I got to take you to this place called Milk Gone Nuts. I'm like, what is it? Milk Gone Nuts? Like a vegan place? No. I don't know what it was. It was the worst experience of my life. Oh no. And literally, oh my God, I can't believe I'm going to say this on air, but I'm going to because it's funny. So we go there and it's like in this gas station, I look at her, I'm like, you know, we're in a gas station, right? She was, yeah, this is a place great. She goes, so we can get a shot of ginger. Oh boy. When I say we were just dating, like we were like brand new, brand new, like maybe a month or two into it, I took that shot of ginger immediately got nauseous and just hot everywhere, went back to her apartment. I was dry, even puking and another stuff. Are you allergic? I don't know. But since then, like I won't hutch it. Yeah. But yeah, like ginger got me, man. Yeah, knocked me too. The other way around though, I was like, like, blown up really. And every time I have it, my entire face changes. It's not pretty. That's so nuts. That's so nuts. But yeah, I don't, I don't have, like to my knowledge, I don't have any, you know, food sensitivities. Like, you know, since I've been watching what I eat, I don't eat a lot of processed foods. If I have bread or I have any type of carbohydrate, I'll, I'll want to fall the fuck asleep. Is it gluten in America only? Or is it bread? Or is it like, what is it? I don't know. I just noticed that on my journey since 2024, I operate very well on just if I, if my carbs are just fruit, like I'm good, right? And then I'll do like an intro scoop of venture carbs during my workout. But like after breakfast and sometimes lunch, maybe lunch, I'll have fruit. But everything after that is protein based and fat based. And I feel amazing. Like in my body just responds to it. But like yesterday, I had a club sandwich. Oh boy. And I had it here in between shows. And I was struggling. Yeah. I was struggling. Like my, my, my body heat just, it was like an instant furnace. It's probably acidic. The club sandwich is very acidic because it has meat, cheese, right? And bread or everything acidic. So talk about pH, acidity versus alkaline. An alkaline environment, your body thrives. Disease cannot survive in an alkaline environment. Alkaline, by the way, baking soda is the most alkalizer on the planet. Very alkaline. Lemon water. And I posted about baking soda a couple of days ago and then I've been told, don't use hammer or whatever it's called. Yeah. That's the one. I was like, oh, why? Apparently it has aluminum in it. Oh, Jesus. Thank you. So now I need to buy the organic aluminum free one. Here, I'm always learning, right? I'm posting people teach me I love learning. Always love it. Don't use that one. Retract. Retract. Change that one. I'm not going to use that anymore. Obviously I'm going to get the aluminum free one. But speaking of alkaline, so if you consume acidic foods, that can make you tired. So energy, what can alkalize you will energize you. So vegetables, high green leafy, green leafy lemon lime, very alkalizing, even though it's the misconception of being acidic. Once it enters your saliva, your drink, it becomes alkaline. Bacon soda, greens, fruit, you know, papaya, things like that. Very good for you. Interesting. And so you want to be alkaline. And so bread plus meats plus cheese can be more acidic. Yeah. I mean, because I was, I was tired. And then the rest of the night, and then if you have bread, what's that? And the rest of the night, I didn't have an appetite. Like I was just done. I had like a hamburger. That's it. That's all I had for dinner. But this is so funny because it's like all this stuff I just geek out on. Like I really, I really want to know the reasons why I feel a certain way after eight. And I think, you know, what's cool about this playful conversation is the audience is listening. They're like, I'm getting a lot of value, a lot of education, but it's an engaging conversation as well. And we're going back and forth between a lot of different topics. But I just really believe that's how true conversation flows. It's like, oh, well, we were here, but now we're way over here. We're in the weeds. So let's get back here. But the, the thing about the baby in the, in the, in the, in the vaccines that alters DNA, let's really dig into that part because I want to know what that actually means. And then I'll also want to know there's a way out of it. Yeah. Absolutely. So if you think about it, if you're getting an aborted to make a vaccine, you have to have the way, the pathway to making it and the culture to making it, you have to have a boarded field of cells. That's how they do it, unfortunately, and with animal byproducts as well. But if you're getting a DNA from a boy or a girl, you're injecting it, let's say you get a DNA from a girl, let's say a boy gets it from a girl, and then this is my logical point of view, right? And this is my thoughts, but we've seen it more and more transgender, for example, right? Now we're getting into that. People are more confused. You didn't see it back in the day. There was nothing like that, right? I mean, you were born in the seventies. I don't know if we had any of that back then necessarily. I think, I think back then and listen, I want to clarify here for you and for the audience and everybody listening, so I don't get torched on this. Yeah. If you're an adult and you want to do whatever you want to do and you want to transition, I support you one billion fucking percent. To each their own, right. I will clap along with you. I will be your friend, right? But I don't think an eight-year-old should be transitioning. Hundred percent. I don't think parents should go, you know what, my son who's six feels like a girl, so we're going to do it. No, no, no, no, no, no. They are not fully like. They don't know anything about what they're really feeling yet. Exactly. So like, but so this is interesting. So like, I'm all for it. If you're an adult and you make your own decisions, do what you do. Right. And there's a lot of transgender like Jeffrey Starr. Caitlin Jenner. But I mean, like, they they they they transition when they were, you know, older and even Jeffrey Starr says, the kids shouldn't this shouldn't be in front of kids. Right. Like we shouldn't be transitioning eight year olds and they shouldn't encourage it in schools. No, period. No, they should not. They shouldn't. And certain should not do it unless your parents and the children or adults sorry to cut you and the parents are like everybody's talking about it and they've like it's been yours and you still want it. But I feel like and sorry, were you saying? No, I just I just think because like obviously, like I've given this a lot of thought because I'm I'm naming transgender and even Blair White out in California, just feel the same way. You know, transition later on in life when they can make their own decisions. So anyway, so you were you were going to a point and then I just had to clarify. Yeah. So I feel like and again, I don't want people to think, oh my gosh, she's crazy. But but when you look at the DNA getting injected in humans and how many vaccines do we have on a schedule today, dude, right back in the day in the 70s, 60s, we barely had any. Now they were they're cutting them back. Hopefully really they were 92 or so many. They were like over 70 90 like so too many and multiple dosages. Why are innate immune and if you strengthen your gut bacteria, you go out playing with dirt, go hang out with your dogs. You're going to get a stronger immune system. I'm telling you right now, right? Get in the sun. Don't avoid the sun. Let's talk about the real doctors sunshine, sleep, proper nutrition, avoiding seed oils, avoiding sugar, you know, obviously everything in moderation, but avoiding toxins, get outside, go exercise, sauna, sweat, make sure you have a bowel movement, get your gut microbiome fixed, get your vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, you know, all the things that I can go on and on about how to strengthen your immune system naturally. But if you're injecting those things and you are actually weakening your immune system and then you're injecting DNA that doesn't belong to you, what is that going to do to your body? It doesn't just stay inside of injection, it integrates with your DNA. I never thought of it like that. I mean, again, to your point, I was I was ignorant. Like I didn't know that there was not that you're ignorant. Most people don't think about it in this and, you know, I mean, from all the heights and heavy metals, things that you would never consume or inject in anyone, and that's what's in them. That's so crazy. Yeah, that's so crazy to me. That is sad. That's a lot. You know, all right, so we were on the path of, okay, we started talking about the altering the DNA, then we went to, so this is all in line with the original question of, hey, girl, Emiah, hey, baby. We're in, we're in congruence to what we started to talk about here, but, you know, when we talk about altering the DNA, that's what you started going into. How do you reverse that, right? Like how, how would you work with somebody she didn't bring any treats for me? This is absolutely unbelievable. Sorry, brought to it like a gift though. Oh, you did. Thank you. I love gifts. Yes. How does one fight their way out of the corner on this detoxing? Okay. Detoxing is something that everyone should do, especially today with chemtrails, water, if they're drinking tap water, if they're, you know, exposed to our environment, pure the environment is toxic, unfortunately. And detoxing is huge whether you, you know, do the parasite cleanse, do the heavy metal cleanse, um, um, help your gut microbiome, balance it, detox it, detox your body, detox your lymphatics, your liver, everything, your brain, right? Sleep, sweating. Like I always say bowel movements, if you're not pooping, excuse my words here, then you're not cleansing, period. And three times a week is not enough. You have to have one to two a day. Yeah. Yeah. Minimum. I mean, that's ideal. Yeah. Not straining, not constipated, going properly, well formed, nice bowel movements. Good piece of shit. We are talking. You gotta have, you gotta have a good piece of shit guys. So you're not full of shit. Yes. Yes. Right. You know, but I mean, you know, it's like one of those things where if you're not evacuating your bowels every day, like you, you probably don't feel well. You don't. You don't feel well at all. And there, there are moments in people's lives where if they're missing something in their nutrition or whatever, then it's harder to have that bowel movement, right? And so fiber is important. Magnesium is important. Hydration is important. Yeah. Fiber, of course. Fiber, yeah. Hydration. Proper nutrition. Start today the right way. There's so many things you can do. Yeah. When you say detox though, because, because you know, like, how can I put this? When the health industry and people start talking about detoxing, it's usually some bullshit diet. You're only, right, I'm setting you up. Good, aren't I? Yes. See, see. But, but the thing is, it's always like, you know, I'm going to do a water detox, or I'm going to only drink this herbal tea for 17 and a half days. And I'm going to detox my whole body. I think that's so broken. Yeah. It's so broken. But what do you mean when you say detox? And by the way, I'm not really drinking from plastic. This is BPA free. See, glad we got it. I was cycling and I had no time to really get a bottle of water. What was my kombucha? Oh, no, I think I left it. What is it? National championship. Damn it. Better get my kombucha from the car. It's probably boiling by now. Oh, jeez. That's not good. It's like a vinegar bomb. That's what I should have brought in. I forgot. I was rushing so much. Anyways, detoxing doesn't mean a fad detox. It means you're on a lifestyle. Every day, you're doing something. Again, whether it's exercise and sweating, sleeping seven to nine hours, eight to nine hours, really ideal. Last night I got nine and I still feel like I could sleep more. I don't know what that looks like. Oh, I went to bed at 9.30. Rarely happens. Finally did. Got up at 6.30. Barely made it. Time change sucks, by the way. Whomever does that, came back. She's an eighth grader. The time change still affects her. Oh, yeah. I love my sleep. I'm with you. Plus, I just came back from California. So it's like four hours. Yeah, I was there last week. Oh, really? That's why I lived for 18 years before I moved here. Anyway, so sweating, bowel movements, sleeping, detoxing, taking the right supplements to detox. But yes, there are periods of time where you do your parasite cleanse three times a year at least. You're heavy metal cleansing as well. Taking your binders, if you're not taking binders, you can't really get it out of your system. If you're not sweating, if you're not, like I said. So there are certain things that you can do. It's not a fad diet and it's not a fad detox. Detoxes, big detoxes can be a few times a year, but if you really want to do things regularly, which is what I recommend, so you're not throwing your body completely out of whack, but you're implementing things on a daily basis and then doing a little bigger ones regularly and taking liver supports, herbs, gallbladder, lymphatics, re-bounding. I love my vibration plate every night. I bought it at that, no, I actually bought it last year. At the event? Yeah, at the event. It's the best. So these kind of things, moving your lymphatics, moving your liver, your body, getting acupuncture, getting chiropractic, getting your hyperbaric if you need to, getting your sauna, your steam, your cold plunge, doing all those biohacking things on a regular basis. Do you use sauna every day? I do. A few times a week, not every day, because I sweat every day already. I sweat so much. My routine, I'll do my lift and then I'll hit the sauna for 20. Sometimes I try to hit 30, but it's like 194 in there. It's the best, but then also, I'm in the market for one in my backyard. I've got a couple of things going right now with some sauna companies and they're entertaining. Well, you give a discounted rate if I send you a sauna, it has to be infrared, it has to be multiple person, has to be outdoor. The reason why I want one at home is so I can spend more time in the gym and then finish up with maybe an interval run or something like that and then go home and do my sauna. And then just straight into the shower. Because I do, if I'm in a sauna with a bunch of other dudes. Gross. Yeah. No thank you. I heard you gag. It's just one of those things. If it were my boys and we're on a baseball team together, cool. I'm all good, but I don't know these dudes. I don't know where they've been. And you don't want to smell them and breathe the air they're breathing out. No, they're fucking disgusting. Exactly. And the shit they talk about? So last week, what are you talking about? I'm trying to watch. It's women too, by the way. So last week I go to San Diego. My favorite place is Rancho Valencia Resorts Spa. I love San Diego. Every time I'm there, this is where I've been doing my spa for years. I book a spa day and I go and get a massage and then I go to the steam sauna, cold plunge and I do a circuit for like two hours. Heaven. But every time in a sauna there, there was a group of women coming in last week and they just started talking smack and I'm left laughing there. They're like, oh, there we go. And I'm just dying. Like it's hysterical. The things they talk about other people and their issues. And I was like, oh, God, do I really want to hear that? I'm going to go jump in a cold plunge. Yeah, I just, you know, it's just one of those things where I just want some privacy. Yeah. Because I want to be able to like kind of zone out, meditate, do my own deal, you know, and quiet time and not breathe in somebody else's germs. You know, this is where steam rooms, by the way, are bacteria harboring. That's why I only do steam. I did it for like five minutes and I was like, I'm done. I like saunas better because the steam will hold on to all the bacteria. Interesting. So back in the day when I used to go to steam rooms in San Diego at the Pacific athletic club and get out, I used to get lung stuff all the time. I usually don't do steams. I usually do saunas. And if I do steam, it's my own steam, hopefully, but yeah, so and I like my own private one. This message is sponsored by Raycon.

So like I'm doing the song five, six days a week, you know, I end I end it on in a sauna. That's about it feels great. I just read something about if you are in a sauna, the last thing you need to do or the worst thing you can do is drink a cold alcoholic beverage after that, because that constricts your blood vessels and can immediately lead to heart attack. As they as I've read, I literally just read that article. Yeah, I mean, that's guys don't go to the sauna and have a beer or a cold alcoholic alcoholic beverage after that. Yeah, I don't I don't I don't know how one would crave a cold alcoholic beverage after being in a sauna or the gym. You never know. That's just strange. We'll just do. That's just strange. When we finish triathlons. Yeah, you guys do that. I do. I've done Ironman, then Jewish Olympics. I've done a lot of races. Wow. Wow. There is all they used to be in San Diego, a beer garden. Oh, really? It's fun. You know, you're in the heat, you want to drink something called fuzzy fuzzy bubble, as I call it. Yeah. Yeah. I used to drink a lot of beer. I just I don't I don't feel good when I drink it now. Yeah, because it's sweet. So you might have a sensitivity to wheat because when you describe you're having wheat, sorry. Yeah, I could be. Yeah. You know, it really, really could be. I'm interested to, you know, to to go through the process. So talk to me, walk me through the process. Like, you know, I come in, you don't have to come in. We can do it online too. You can. I do telemedicine. Okay. Yeah. But you are welcome to come out there. Yeah, I like in person because you know, it's like if you have to run tasks, like if you know, if we have to do it online. Oh, wow. So order it online, the kid comes to you. So whatever we need to order. So if we were going to order, you know, some nutritional stuff, some vitamin levels, all the CMP, which is comprehensive metabolic panel, CBC, complete blood count with platelets, obviously lipids, liver, everything is in there. Hormones, see what's going on. Environmental toxins, I like to do a total toxin burden to see mold levels, environmental toxins and heavy metals. Because you really want to see what's going on. What's raising, you know, liver enzymes, what's raising levels that shouldn't be raised, right? If no one can see it, everything looks normal. There is an external factor that's causing it that we need to dig deeper into. I'm sorry, order all the labs, kids come to you, you pee in it, you poop in it, whatever you need to do. I knew I was going to ask you, like, you're going to make me shit in a bag, dude. If we're doing a gut test, if we're doing heavy metals, that's urine, that's easy. And then blood draw as well. So phlebotomists can come to you or you can go to a local lab depending on the lab contract. Is there like someone that you can send me so I can like, no, you got to hear my question. Someone that I can, that you can send me and I can shit in the bag and go here, you take it because I'm not of damage for patients. I'm not going to lie. No, I know. I'm you're not doing it for me. We're friends. Like that's too personal. Your family can do it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they'll do it. Here you go, honey. Here you go. She's going to love that. But no, I mean, you know, it's important to ask this because like, you know, when you when you look at the gut, when you look at heavy metals, you really have to do the proper testing because otherwise you're just guessing. You're guessing. So we always say, don't guess, test. Yeah, don't guess, test. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, that's really good. So when when when you do the tests and you get the results and let's say there's heavy metal issue or, you know, some parasite issues, how long is the process to go through and detox that before you test again to see what your levels are? I like to test between three and six months. Okay. I usually like to give it six months, to be honest. I do programs three to six months. And you can tell people starting to feel better. But it's not an overnight thing. People have to be patient. You've been doing things for long, you're going to take time. It's not a magic pill. You have to be patient. You have to be compliant in a very simple, nice way to say it. But you really want to do it thoroughly and not throw your body into herxheimer reaction, where you're not feeling well. And you are probably not going to feel well in the beginning. Because again, like I said, when I had detoxed, my blood, my tongue code was black, I was vomiting, I was feeling so sick for a few days first. But then you start seeing the light and start feeling better and your brain fog is gone. See clear and you sleep better. Everything is better. We next time. Yeah. So for me, it's not about I don't need an immediate hit and you don't want to have any money. I want progression. Yeah. You know, so for me, if, if we were to do something, you know, we do this and we get the test and then like three months later, my levels are down even a little bit. I'm like, that's dope. Let's keep going. Yeah. Right. Because you're going in the right direction. Yeah. And too many people are looking for the immediate when they're looking for no, this needs to be perfect. Instant gratification is what they want. I did this for 90 days and I'm not 5% body fat. This is bullshit. It's not working. It's not the way it works guys. No, you have to have it's compounded interest, right? Just like with anything else. Exactly. You have to continue to do it. And then as long as you're progressing, I think that's just the most important thing. Yeah. With anything makes sense. Yeah, exactly. With anything. So as we start getting towards the back half of the conversation, I don't, I feel bad for shifting because this is so interesting, but I don't want to do the service. Talk about vibrant glow. The vibrant glow. Oh, my brand. Your brand. Yeah. Creator of your own brand. Yes. So I'll tell you the background of, so first of all, the vibrant glow is my functional medicine, Chinese medicine, naturopath, like the whole wind, the whole umbrella of it. Everything like that you do. Yeah. But the vibrant glow and I created a product and I called it the vibrant glow by Dr. Hadar. And this, so this is a scar slash stretch mark slash un-taging oil that I came about this past year, but it's been in my mind for the last six or seven years and I'll tell you why. And if you can see my leg, I don't think anyone can, but I used to, so I had a horrible bike crash while I was training for Ironman in San Diego. And another cyclist crashed into me. That's another different level of like, it was terrible. He crashed into me or handlebars locked and he sped up to the middle of the road in Solana Beach, a busy road. And he continued riding. I finally unlatched and I went down and I skidded down and I skidded for a while, hit my head, hit my elbow, my shoulder, my knee, and I tore my entire shoulder. Like I didn't even know that until the next day or so. I couldn't move my shoulder, but I'm still going to go train because I got to train. But my knee was completely road rash everywhere from the knee bottom to the, to the rest of the shin, my elbow, my head, thankfully. So I was laying on the ground trying to figure out what was going on. I was like, oh, shit, I'm in the middle of the road. Let me look back. And there was an SUV sitting right behind me. Thank God it didn't run me over. Then I was like, I got to get up, got up. I'm in excruciating pain that I don't yet feel because the endorphins and the anger that I'm feeling completely locked in. Yeah. And so the guy comes back and he's like, are you okay? And I was like, don't touch me, get away from me. I was going to throw the F bomb here, but I'm not. So I continue riding and I'm climbing Tori Pines and suddenly I'm getting hit by the pain and the blood flowing and I'm like, okay, I better go back. My friend is like, I'm going to take you to the ER. And I said, nope, not going to the ER. I'm going to figure something out. I just finished a certificate with Dr. Josh Axe, essential oils and kind of doing all the holistic stuff naturally. So I came home and I had everything in my home and I went to the store too. And I got all kinds of oils and aloe vera and tea tree and you name it. And I put together a formula and I started applying it every day, never took Advil, never took anything Western, started applying for my shoulder, my elbow, my knee. Every day the pain started going away. The scarred healed. I had zero scars, zero, nothing left after a few weeks. And it healed beautifully. And I was like, one day I have to do something. So the Vibe and Glow came about that and I formulated my own with some vitamins, essential oils and oils, no toxins, obviously no non-toxic phthalate free, paraben free, petroleum mineral oil free. And it's beautifying and it's great. So it's on Amazon. Yeah. And it's great for scars. So women who go through breast explants, C-section scars, stretch marks. That is a big one. There's so many women that get, you know, the, you know, they feel that they have the breast implant illness and they do the X-Plan. They do an X-Plan and then they do a lift and then they feel mutilated. Yeah, exactly. This is a big deal. It works on that. It works on that. And I also do injections for scars. I do neural therapy with acupuncture. So I had a lot of women who came to me for breast explants, scar tissue. And so I inject those and then I apply the oil and it was infrared and stuff. So I love doing the injections and combining it with an oil, which can, you know, if you can't come to me for that, at least use the oil. That's awesome. And stretch marks. And I use it on my face every day. I don't wear makeup. I only wear eye and gloss, but I use it on my face. It's all I use on my face and I clean my face, of course. I don't wear makeup either. Good. You look great without it. I have once. I have once in my life. For Halloween? No. Fashion week. They put makeup on me. Okay. I got a lie. It was kind of cool. That's fine. That's cool. They did my hair and everything. That's nice. What's left of it. But hey, it was cool. It was a good time. But no, I just think that like even that subset of women, right, you know, you talk about C-section, you're talking about the X plant surgeries, just all that stuff. Like that's a big deal. That's a big deal. So for stretch marks too, works wonders. And so yeah, so now I have it on Amazon and I really want to have a whole line for skin and facial and stuff. And I just need to figure out how I'm going to do it. I need to figure out capital and everything. But yeah. Yeah, I mean, the capital thing, I mean, that's always going to be a thing, right? Yeah. But like, you know, it's just you already have something out now that's proof of concept, right? Right. And then what happens is you just run into the right person and they're like, yeah, let's do this. Like, it'll work itself out. It'll work itself out. Yeah. You don't need to know how or when you see that it's going to happen. Exactly. I gotta trust the universe. Exactly. The universe, man. Put it out there. There's vibrations. Exactly. I want to go to seat to table as well and bring it in there as well. Let's see what happens. I think you would do it. I would love to. I would talk to Alfie. Yeah, I could do that. I'm going to go out to these and see if he's there. I'm sure he's probably will be. Maybe. He probably will be. What a cool place, man. Yeah, I love it. You know, every time I go in there, I'm like overwhelmed because I don't know what to eat because it's like, like, do I get the barbecue? Do I get the tacos? Do I get the quesadillas? Pizza is good. Pizza is really good. I love gluten free pizza. It's thing and crunchy. And they also have the other place that I found. It's called, what's the other place? I have it. I actually have it in my phone. Greens. No, something. I forget what it's called. They open an additional place that is smaller and have a lot of those healthy organic snacks and things that I absolutely love. You don't even live here. I was looking to moving here. So actually, Rick took me around because he was going to be my realtor and he drove me around and he took me there and I was like, oh my gosh, that's awesome. Yeah, I've never been there. I have to check it out. Okay, so you've got a formula. You want to do a whole whole big. I think when I met you, I think you were just launching it. Yeah, it wasn't out yet. It was still in the making. That's right. That wasn't even a year ago. No, it was September, October. Is that when the event was? It was October? So I launched it. It came out right before the holidays. Yeah. So yeah, we were at that event September, October. Yeah. Wild man. Time flies. Yeah. Time does fly. Good for you. So I have it on Amazon. I want to bring it into stores. I want to bring it. I want to go to QVC. I want to go big. Go bigger. Yeah. I mean, look, I mean, especially if you're, you've created something that works, but also isn't going to be toxic. Right. Non-toxic is my, what you put on in and around your body. That's what I always tell people. So that's always like, I think about these things at the weird times. Like if I'm in the shower and I'm putting soap on my body, I'm like, am I like literally killing myself right now? Maybe. No, you're not. But you know. I mean, you know, your, your skin, people just dismiss it. It's just, oh, that's what it is. That's the largest organ in your body. And it reflects on what's going on internally. Yeah. So what you apply on your skin does absorb in your bloodstream within a few seconds. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I just, you need to, you need to continue to be out there. You need to continue to put this shit out because it's like, you know, you, that would blow up just on one subcategory of women, which is moms, you know, pregnancies, scars, stretch marks. That's the whole, that's one of the main reasons why I made it. I mean, forget about my scar. My scar is gone. Thankfully. Nobody likes stretch marks. I mean, you may get it too. Right. We lose again. Wait. Yeah. And pregnancies especially. Yeah. Wow. Interesting. So what's next? Like, what's going on with you? Like any events coming up? Any speaking opportunities? I actually don't know. I know I have a big event in Idaho that I'm just attending. I'm not speaking. I was going to speak at A-frame. I apply it every time. They haven't really cared for that yet, but maybe one day I'll be selected. I got selected to speak at some biohacking thing in June in New York. I don't know which one it is. I'll get you the information. Okay. Yeah. For sure. But I think the thing there with me is they want me to talk about determination and discipline and how it pertains to biohacking or just being healthy in general. Right. Transformation. I think is the big biohacking. That's huge. You know, biohacking, it's such a cool word, but like, you know, like even Tito said when we were sitting out there a little bit. Yeah, it's Gary Bracca too. Yeah, Gary. I want to be on his podcast. I keep trying to get on there. Takes a long time, I know. His team's interesting. Yeah. He's a great guy. He's brilliant. Text right back, but his team does a good job of gatekeeping him. Even when he says he would do something. Yes. That's me being, that's me being, what is it? What do they call it? An insurance parent. No, just which one? Petty. That's me being petty. Like I will be petty at times. But no, I just think that, you know, these things are ancient. People were doing them before it was called biohacking. Right. Exactly. Biohacking is the new term. I've been doing these things for years. Because it's a sexy term. Right. Biohack. I can hack. What? Right. It's like, no dude, get in cold water. Hack your health. Right. Get, like literally get in cold water, get in, get in warm environments, exercise, breathe. That's called hermesis, by the way, when you get hot, cold or things that are like not good long term use, but are good in small amounts that trigger your body for an immune reaction and stimulate it. Hermesis. Hermesis. I've done a cold punch once. Yeah. Once? I hate it. I hate it too. It's good if you do it with heat. I will not go if it's cold out. Yeah. Unless I'm coming in from heat, sauna or something. Yeah. I will do it. Like I want to turn my backyard into like kind of like we have the pool. I want a cold punch and I want to do a sauna out there. Like I'll do it there, but I'm not going to go to it. There was this gym that I went to and they had one outside. It's like in front of everybody. I'm like, right? This is kind of weird, you know, but then I also don't want to pay a membership fee and go to a cold plunge inside and it's super cold. Like no, I'm good. Right. Put me out here in Florida. It's hot and then I'll do it, but no, I didn't enjoy it. Yep. Didn't enjoy it. I hear you. I don't like the cold. And for women, it's not good if you're exposed to cold, if you're sitting in cold, especially if you have your menstrual cycle, if you're trying to get pregnant, because it leads to too much cold in uterus. Really? Which you do not want to do your kidneys and uterus. Another tip, if somebody wants to hear, if you really want to have good fertility, warmer uterus, because you always want to have your belly warm, is do not walk barefoot on cold tile. I've done a video on that because the meridians and all the channels start at the bottom of the feet. That goes up. That can lead to colder kidneys, colder uterus. So cover up. It's also not good for your immune system necessarily, but obviously going barefoot on the sand and warmer surfaces great, not so much cold. Ladies, if you want a warmer uterus and warmer kidneys, never walk barefoot on cold tile. There you go. I didn't even know there was a thing. Yeah. Like it's crazy. When we were kids, my grandparents and parents always wore your pantouf, like pantouf in French or whatever, so wear your slippers. Yeah. Yeah. Very interesting. Well, thank you for coming. Thank you. This has been so much fun. This is fun. I love it. Yeah. Tell everybody your websites, they can go, know where to find you. Yeah, thevibrantglow.com, so the Vibrant Glow. And then on Instagram, I'm dr.hadarsofia, so dr.hadar, s-o-p-h-i-a. We're going to link that in the show notes. Don't you worry. Yes. Don't you worry, guys. It's not going to be a test. You're just going to be able to click a link. So, but again, thank you so much. You will be tested though. Yes, you will be tested at some point in time. Yes. But no, thank you for bringing Mia here too. Mia has been great. She's been fantastic. She's such a sweet dog. Yeah. And what a calm, calm little girl. Listen, she gets essential oils at home. Yeah. Home food made for her, right? Food, however you say it in English. She gets massaged literally with the oils every morning and every night and brushed and loved. She gets so much love. That's great. She doesn't get toxins in her body anymore. When she was rescued, she had her shots and everything there, but she gets, she's all natural. You're all up and up, girl. She's a holistic dog. Elle Natural. Elle Natural. That's right. Good old Mia. But no, seriously, thank you. Appreciate you. Thank you so much, Sean. I appreciate you. It was fun. It was fun. It was great. It was fun.
