Is light at night bad for you?

The answer is definitely yes.

The short answer as to why light at night is bad is because it suppresses your melatonin levels and alters  your circadian rhythm. Not good if you want to heal with optimal sleep.

I go into full detail here about how I mitigate light at night and embrace natural light frequencies during the day.

Why Light At Night Is Dangerous

Attenuation of short wavelengths alters sleep and the ipRGC pupil response

“The use of short wavelength-blocking glasses at night increased subjectively measured sleep quality and objectively measured melatonin levels and sleep duration, presumably as a result of decreased night-time stimulation of ipRGCs. Alterations in the ipRGC-driven pupil response suggest a shift in circadian phase. Results suggest that minimizing short wavelength light following sunset may help in regulating sleep patterns.” – Source

Blue light from light-emitting diodes elicits a dose-dependent suppression of melatonin in humans

“..light suppresses melatonin most effectively in the short-wavelength portion of the spectrum (446-477 nm).” – Study

Green Light Attenuates Melatonin Output and Sleepiness during Sleep Deprivation

“Humans are particularly sensitive to green light, and melatonin output is more readily suppressed by this hue”.

“Melatonin output is more readily suppressed by [green light] than by various other hues of the same intensity. For example, the suppression is about 75% greater than for light of 600 nm (orange-red)” – Source

Putting cancer to sleep at night

The neuroendocrine/circadian melatonin signal

It has been postulated that in industrialized societies, light at night, by suppressing melatonin production, poses a new risk for the development of breast cancer and, perhaps, other cancers as well. Dietary melatonin supplementation working in concert with the endogenous melatonin signal has the potential to be a new preventive/therapeutic strategy to optimize the host/cancer balance in favor of host survival and quality of life. – Source

Artificial light at night and melatonin–is it the missing link?

“The use of artificial light at night tricks the body into believing that it is still daytime. The special photoreceptors in the eye […] send signals to the pineal gland which suppresses the production of melatonin. Thus, the onset of melatonin production is pushed back later into the evening […] reducing the amount of melatonin that the body produces, which can negatively affect health”​.

“Melatonin has been shown to be protective against the development and spread of cancer […] through the suppression of melatonin production, it increases the probability that cancer cells can survive and spread”​.  – Source

Minimizing exposure to light at night and keeping regular light-dark patterns that enhance circadian rhythms may promote cardiometabolic health and longevity. – Study

Bright Lights, Big Cancer – Melatonin-depleted blood spurs tumor growth

“Light at night is now clearly a risk factor for breast cancer,” Blask says. “Breast tumors are awake during the day, and melatonin puts them to sleep at night.” Add artificial light to the night environment, and “cancer cells become insomniacs,” he says.

“Sleep per se is not important for melatonin,” says Russel J. Reiter, a neuroendocrinologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. “But darkness is.”

The new study has far-reaching implications, says Reiter. First, it could spawn trials that test whether malignancies can be slowed down by altering a person’s light environment or by using melatonin supplements. Second, he says, similar studies could show whether exposure to nocturnal light poses a prostate cancer risk to men, as some researchers suspect, or promotes other cancers previously linked to light at night (SN: 8/28/04, p. 141: Available to subscribers at Bright nights kindle cancers in mice).

“Breast cancer is epidemic in the world. It’s increasing everywhere,” says Stevens. It’s most prevalent in industrialized countries, where electric lights are widely used, he says. “It’s increasing very rapidly in places that are industrializing,” he adds.

Furthermore, compared with other workingwomen, female night-shift workers have about a 50 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer, says William Hrushesky of Dorn Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Columbia, S.C. – Source

Personal light exposure patterns and incidence of type 2 diabetes: analysis of 13 million hours of light sensor data and 670,000 person-years of prospective observation

Over 13 million human light hours tracked and the findings conclude:

“The difference in diabetes risk between people with bright and dark nights was similar to the difference between people with low and moderate genetic risk. Type 2 diabetes risk was higher in people exposed to brighter night light, and in people exposed to light patterns that may disrupt circadian rhythms. Avoidance of light at night could be a simple and cost-effective recommendation that mitigates risk of diabetes, even in those with high genetic risk.” – Source

Light Exposure at Night Disrupts Host/Cancer Circadian Regulatory Dynamics: Impact on the Warburg Effect, Lipid Signaling and Tumor Growth Prevention

“Dim light at night (LAN)-induced melatonin suppression disrupts this circadian-regulated host/cancer balance among several important cancer preventative signaling mechanisms, leading to hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia in the host and runaway aerobic glycolysis, lipid signaling and proliferative activity in the tumor.” – Source

Association of Exposure to Artificial Light at Night While Sleeping With Risk of Obesity in Women

These results suggest that exposure to ALAN while sleeping may be a risk factor for weight gain and development of overweight or obesity. Further prospective and interventional studies could help elucidate this association and clarify whether lowering exposure to ALAN while sleeping can promote obesity prevention. – Source

Association between light at night, melatonin secretion, sleep deprivation, and the internal clock: Health impacts and mechanisms of circadian disruption

Shift and/or night work generally decreases the time spent sleeping, and it disrupts the circadian time structure. In the long run, this desynchronization is detrimental to health, as underscored by a large number of epidemiological studies that have uncovered elevated rates of several diseases, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular risks, obesity, mood disorders and age-related macular degeneration. – Source

Artificial Light at Night and Cancer: Global Study

January- June 2015 on secondary data from 158.0 countries.

Recently, light pollution in the form of artificial light at night (ALAN) has been detected to cause breast cancer, melatonin being the mediator between environment and the epigenome (Yang et al., 2014; Haim and Zubidat 2015). ALAN can also increase the risk of colorectal cancer in night shift workers (Schernhammer et al., 2001). ALAN not only adversely effects humans directly exposed to it, but it also affects the ‘protected areas’, undisturbed natural habitat of flora and fauna, vital to the human existence and well being (Aubrecht et al., 2010).

Age standardized incidence rate (ASR) of all forms of cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer were significantly positively correlated with Protected Area Light Pollution Indicator (PALI) and PAHI, stronger for Protected Area Human Influence Indicator (PAHI). When adjusted for population size, electricity consumption, air pollution, and total land area of the country covered by forest, the positive association remained significant for PALI with colorectal cancer and for PAHI with all forms of cancers, lung cancer and breast cancer

This study found that artificial light at night leads to cancer causation in humans, even after adjusting for population size, particulate matter representing air pollution, electricity consumption at national levels, and the land area covered by forests. This may be due to the disruption of circadian system by exposing to much light at night and this is can be generalized to the whole population and not only to certain occupational groups such as nurses. Another possible explanation is that the connection of artificial light at night with melatonin hormone which produced in nighttime darkness that promote sleep. Therefore, exposure to night light may suppress the release of melatonin which typically peaks in the middle of the night.

Conclusion: Artificial light at night is a significantly correlated for all forms of cancer including lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Immediate measures should be taken to reduce artificial light at night in the main cities around the world. – Source

How Much Light At Night Is Too Much?

Melatonin Suppression by Light in Humans Is More Sensitive Than Previously Reported

the threshold for human melatonin suppression is approximately 10 log photons cm–2 s–1 at 460 nm wavelength. – Source

Circadian phase resetting by a single short-duration light exposure (photon)

Twenty-six healthy individuals participated in a 9-day inpatient protocol that included assessment of dim light melatonin onset time before and after exposure to a single 15-second or 2-minute pulse of bright light (9,500 lux; 4,100 K fluorescent) or control background dim light. Both 15 second and 2-minute exposures induced phase delay shifts of –34.8 ± 47.2 minutes and –45.4 ± 28.4 minutes, respectively, that were significantly (P = 0.04) greater than the control condition. These findings may have real-world implications for circadian disruption induced by exposure to brief light stimuli at night. – Source

Could More Sunlight Help You Live Longer?

“People who slept with the lights on in their bedroom at night died at a 30 percent faster rate, as compared to those who slept in pitch darkness. And deaths from cardiovascular (heart attacks) and metabolic (diabetes) diseases increased by 40 percent.” – Source

How Can You Protect Yourself?

To fix this light at night issue I recommend using only special circadian lighting from BonCharge or Healthy Home Shop and wearing blue blocking glasses.

My morning and daily practice is as follows….

• Watch the sunrise (grounded of course)
• Block blue light during the day with yellow glasses and Iris Tech
• Open windows as much as possible
• Get outside as much as possible during the day (1 min is enough)
• Watch the sunset
• After sunset turn computer screen to orange with Iris and put on orange glasses
• 2 hours before bed put on my red glasses
• No blue light at night at all
• Currently taking 50mg of melatonin before bed

The takeaway is to mitigate your light environment as much as possible.

Embrace the light during the day and accentuate the darkness at night!

The other thing to note is LED lighting from indicator lights in our bedrooms or homes.

I wanted to send you this info about green light. Did you know that green light coming from indicator lights in our bedroom at night can also inhibit melatonin?

Melatonin is your #1 anti cancer hormone you make. I supplement it but, I also make it daily by watching the sunrise and getting outdoors.

How you can fix this!

I use Junk Light Dots and cover all of them up all over the house. You can see me doing it here! 🙂

Not only is light at night not ideal but it also can lead to disease.

Only you can fix this!

Conclusion

As you can see light at night is very dangerous to your health and should be avoided if at all possible.

Questions:

1. What’s your light environment like?
2. What do you do to block blue light at night?
3. Have you noticed any differences in sleep or overall health?

It was a true honor to have Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez on the show today. We’ve been very familiar with his work for a number of years now so it was a real joy to have him on so he could share his cutting edge research with all of you.

He’s the author of a number of books and his website is http://www.dr-gonzalez.com which contains lots of really helpful information.

He’s known for treating people with pancreatic cancer (which happens to be one of the more dangerous varieties of cancer and one of the most difficult to treat) but he also sees patients with all forms of cancer among other health challenges.

He was saying on the show that he’s been seeing a lot of women lately with breast cancer. It’s interesting because I asked my conventional doctor about 13 years ago where cancer came from and why there seems to be so many younger people diagnosed these days.

His answer was that we don’t know where cancer comes from and the reason why “it seems” like cancer is more prevalent these days is that there are more people and we have the internet so news spreads fast.

He does have a couple of points there. The sheer number of people in a population will create more diagnosis of cancer and yes the internet does make information more instant and wide spread. So those two things do have merit (in my opinion) but the fact that he said we don’t know where cancer comes from is either a complete lie or total ignorance of the science.

Even Otto Warhburg said in the 1920’s that when a cell is deprived of 30% less oxygen for a specific amount of time, the cell then starts the process of differentiation which could lead to cancer.

How could my doctor not know this? Well there are many reasons but the main reason in my opinion is that he’s been completely brain washed and indoctrinated to the fullest degree.

When you listen to a man who’s on the cutting edge like Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, you can tell that he knows what he’s talking about and he’s doing amazing things helping people all over the world heal naturally from advanced and even late stage cancers.

We talked about how certain people have specific dietary requirements and not all people can heal from cancer eating one specific diet. Some people need red meat where as other people need to be completely vegetarian.

He can do specific blood test to determine what type of diet would help you thrive and heal. Even if you don’t have cancer it would be extremely helpful to know what types of foods you should be eating.

If you’re a genetic carnivore and you eat raw vegan you could be doing your body some damage. Or what if you’re a genetic vegan and you consume meat on a regular basis? Don’t you think you could be doing your body lots of damage?

Dr. Gonzalez is the first person who’s come on the show with a wide open view and approach to diet. Personally I think people’s dietary and nutritional needs change all the time. They can changed based upon stress factors, life style factors, age, ancestry, illness, gender and even time of day if you’re familiar with the work of Atom Bergstrom and his work with Chronobiotic Nutrition.

If you know of anybody with advanced cancer or even any time of cancer, please like and share this page with them if you can!

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez

Guest Info:

Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D., graduated from Brown University, Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude, with a degree in English Literature. He subsequently worked as a journalist, first at Time Inc., before pursuing premedical studies at Columbia. He then received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1983. During a postgraduate immunology fellowship under Dr. Robert A. Good, considered the father of modern immunology, he completed a research study evaluating an aggressive nutritional therapy in the treatment of advanced cancer. Since 1987, Dr. Gonzalez has been in private practice in New York City, treating patients diagnosed with cancer and other serious degenerative illnesses. His nutritional research has received substantial financial support from Procter & Gamble and Nestle. Results from a pilot study published in 1999 described the most positive data in the medical literature for pancreatic cancer.

Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez has been investigating nutritional approaches to cancer and other degenerative diseases since 1981, and has been in practice in New York since 1987.

He began researching nutritional approaches to cancer treatment while a medical student, and completed an investigation of the enzyme therapy of cancer while an immunology fellow.

This is a holistic approach looking at each patient as an individual then tailoring a plan to suit a specific need including diet, supplements, Proteolytic enzymes and detoxification.

The post Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez – Why Individualized Diets Are Critical For Cancer Patients, High Dose Pancreatic Enzyme Therapies, Coffee Enemas & Much More! appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

Dr. David Jockers author of Supercharge Your Brain as well as the creator of the Cancer Cleanse program.

Today we talked about the dreaded “C” word, cancer. It seems like we all have been touched by cancer in some way. The latest stats I checked showed 21 thousand people around the world die each day from cancer. One out of every two men get will get a diagnosis and one out of every three women will get a diagnosis of cancer.

These numbers are absolutely huge. That means every man women and child on earth will be directly or indirectly affected by cancer. After president Nixon declared The War On Cancer back in 1971, nothing has changed.

When you declare war on something, be ready for a fight. And we’ve been fighting ever since to no avail.

We need to understand that cancer is a teacher and we need to work with it and re-educate cancer stem cells so that they can do their job and kindly exit the body.

This whole idea of fighting and killing only makes matters worse. Our language has been militarized and because of this we fight and oppose everything.

In this episode Dr. David Jockers shares his own journey with what he believed was some kind of possible skin cancer that he got rid of by applying the principles he’s laid out in The Cancer Detox Program.

We talked in depth about exactly what he did on an emotional level, spiritual level and a physical level to successfully overcome what he thought was skin cancer. We talked about sugar and how to avoid eating too much sweets that feed cancer cells. We discussed grounding and getting fresh air and sunlight to help the body become healthier and many other cleansing and detox protocols that help the body build its immune system so it can allow cancer to do its job, then exit the body.

As most of you know I got into this whole world of alternative health and natural healing because of my own mom’s cancer back in 1995. This was an eye opening thing for me to witness how chemotherapy has affected her. I thank God every day she’s still with us and actually thriving.

Do I know that she would have lived this long (given a less than 10% chance of survival) doing something like the Gerson therapy instead of chemotherapy and radiation? I want to say yes but the reality is, because I can’t clone people, I just don’t know.

It appears as though chemotherapy, radiation and her bone marrow transplant might have saved her. I know it’s shocking for a truly alternative health guy to admit that isn’t it? But chemotherapy does kill cancer cells, it just kills everything else also.

Regardless she’s alive and I am grateful. But let this be a lesson, how about we take care of ourselves so that we never get a diagnosis?

This takes true personal responsibility to the next level. Are we willing to fully take charge of our health and our lives? I believe it’s our birthright and our destiny.

[include file=get-in-itunes.html] We had such a great time speaking with Dr. Harvey Bigelsen in this radio show. His work is truly fascinating. He’s taking live blood cell analysis to another level. He does what’s called dark field microscopy where he doesn’t stain the blood.

Most holistic health care practitioners stain the blood. By doing so it actually kills some of organisms and clouds the picture of the blood. When most doctors do live blood cell analysis you might see parasites, white blood cells and other things floating in the blood plasma.

But when Dr. Harvey Bigelsen does dark field microscopy he sees things that make you think of Twilight Zone. Remember when Marsuo Emoto wrote the book and he took pictures of water crystals that actually change their structure and shape based on the intention that’s put around them?

This is similar to what Dr. Harvey Bigelsen is doing. He has seen some pretty amazing things while looking at people’s blood. For example, he’s seen a woman’s baby in the blood when she was pregnant. He can see cancer tumors years before they’ve actually grown into a detectable cancer. He can see anger in the blood in the form of a liver.

Each organ actually carries different emotional states. For example anger in Chinese Medicine correlates to the liver. The lungs, the stomach, the spleen, the endocrine organs all carry with them different emotional states.

He even saw a broken femur of a woman who had no broken femur. It turns out 2 weeks later this older lady fell and broke her femur. Can you believe that? What’s going on there?

Did the event of breaking her femur happen as a sort of subconscious self fulfilling prophecy or was her blood somehow telling the future? Is that creepy or what?

If you look into energy medicine, quantum physics and string theory, this ideas shouldn’t surprise you. It’s only strange because of our Western mindset brainwashing.

At the very beginning of the show, Dr. Bigelsen talked about some of the dangers of surgery. Many women these days are getting elective plastic surgery which is very harmful to the body. In fact surgery is so harmful that Dr. Bigelsen says that your body is never the same if you’ve had even just one surgery in your life.

Isn’t that amazing? I think of women getting their mastectomies to prevent cancer, face lifts, tummy tucks, gastric bypass surgery and breast enhancement surgeries. It’s crazy.

Not only is surgery an invasion to this living temple designed to house our spirits and souls, it creates scars which further disturb the energy field and blocks certain organs from connecting to and communicating with our plasma energy field.

Surgery is a HUGE deal and unfortunately people get it done like it’s not a big deal. Dr. Bigelsen didn’t even touch on the toxic affects (I’m wondering if somehow there’s a connection to Alzheimer’s Disease later in life) of the anesthesia that settles in the brain and nervous system during the procedure.

We also talked about how the FDA raided his office and illegally confiscated patient records. When you’re doing great work out there in the world and actually helping people, the FDA will take notice.

Another interesting topic we discussed was how ingesting some of the noble metals like gold, platinum, iridium etc actually help to be a conductor in the bloodstream to access other frequencies. It’s an interesting topic that I’d like to look into further. Somehow our blood if it has the right metals could be like a radio antenna where it’s able to pickup frequencies floating around the atmosphere.

Just a thought…

Then we talked about some of his remedies for things like strokes and heart attacks. These are substances people can keep in their pockets or purse and ingest any time they feel like their having the symptoms of a heart attack.

Dr. Harvey Bigelsen is a fascinating man and we were so honored for him to spend some time with us.

Please pass this show on to the family and friends you love…

We discuss the following and so much more:

• The dangers of having surgery
• How surgery creates scars which blocks energy flows
• How all people (if they die from a disease) die from cancer, heart attacks or arthritis
• How the FDA invaded his practice
• How he got into the holistic and natural medicines
• Dark field analysis vs live blood analysis
• Why staining blood is detrimental
• How the germ theory permeates every area of our lives

At the last minute we had a cancellation so we called up our friend Phil Wilson to talk about sweating and sauna therapy for health and detoxification.

I can’t tell you how many questions we’ve had about this Relax FAR Infrared Sauna that we sell on our website. We’ve owned ours for about 4 years now and it’s probably my most favorite health tool we own. There might be some other’s that come close like the Bellicon rebounder or Biomat but if I had to choose one, it would be this sauna.

We constantly get questions about the differences between near infrared saunas vs FAR infrared saunas and I never know what to say. From personal experience I’m so glad that I have this Relax FAR Infrared Sauna. I don’t regret it at all. In fact if it were taken away from me, I’d be really sad.

It means a lot to me this healing tool.

I’ve consistently been doing it probably about 6 days a week for 4 years and look forward to getting into it each and every day. It’s never a chore or something I make myself do.

We also get many questions about EMF and the Relax FAR Infrared sauna so we tackled those questions as well.

I encourage you to listen all the way to the end for a special deal!

If you’re not aware, sitting in a sauna is a great way to relax as well as detoxify fat soluble toxins like chemicals, heavy metals and other poisons living in your fat cells without producing any lactic acid, which is a very big deal.

It also increase your immune system, cleanses and detoxifies your lymphatic system and colon all while you do nothing but sit down! Some other benefits include increasing circulation and increasing your immune system by as much as 40%.

I like the Relax FAR Infrared sauna in particular because it’s easy to clean. It heats up in seconds and it’s portable. Also your head sticks out so I really like that feature. They’re so easy to fold down that you could let a friend or family member borrow it without having to break it down like you would if you owned a wooden sauna.

To me the Relax FAR Infrared sauna is the best.

Sometimes it’s really great to be reminded why you adopt certain health practices. Even though you might know why you do them, having somebody refresh your memory is always motivating.

I hope you enjoy this episode with Mr. Phil Wilson about the health benefits of sweating and detoxifying the body through sauna therapy! 🙂

Thank you all!

Justin, Kate and Maggie

[spp-transcript]

The post Phil Wilson – The Benefits Of Sweating, Near vs FAR Infrared Light, EMF & Creative Ways To Detox Using Sauna Therapy appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

I have to say these Free For All Friday shows are always the most fun for Kate and I. They give us the chance to share with you what’s working in our lives and what isn’t.

We get to talk about a lot of topics and hopefully do our best at answering as many listener questions as we possibly can.

Today we talked a lot about eating raw meat for digestive health. We spoke with Aajonus Vonderplanitz (see our interview link below) a while back and I’ve been following his work for years. I do consume raw animal products like, milk (not so much anymore), cream, cheese, eggs, butter but I’ve never really gotten into eating raw meat itself. Perhaps I needed a mentor in that department because I was a bit skittish about getting into it.

As we described during the show we talked about meeting up with some friends who (unbenounced to us) eat raw meat on a regular basis. I can’t wait until we can go to this house and he can teach me how he does the raw meat thing. He’s going to lend us some books and DVD’s about eating raw meat and show me come recipes he makes.

He says he’s done the vegan, raw, vegetarian, and raw vegan thing to the fullest extent and nothing has helped him cure his digestive issues or give him more energy than eating raw meat. I’m curious and would like to try it. I’m game for trying anything. It seems much more natural to me than eating cooked meat.

He does some things like eat raw eggs right out of the shell or he’s consumed raw chicken and even raw organ meats. That might be a long way down the line for me but I will say I’m open to anything and can definitely see the logic in it. I’ve been having some digestive issues lately with some gas and bloating or some stomach tightness after I eat a meal and I’m going to look further into this concept.

Like I said I’ve known about this for many years now so I’m not a newbie but I do find it rather fascinating. I know many of you reading this will write in pleading with me to NOT do this because of how I could die or there’s harmful bacteria and what not. Trust me I know that’s coming and I’m prepared for it. 🙂

We also talked about the raw power drinks that reset your hormones and thyroid gland. It’s very powerful yet very disgusting sounding. I may be wrong but the basic idea is that you’d consume raw brain, lung, thyroid, liver, and gonads (testicles for men and ovaries for women), along with raw milk and raw honey. As Kate said on the show, “as if the raw honey is going to somehow mask the flavor or raw organ meats!” Ha! So true.

We also talked about the hemorrhoid Kate is currently dealing with and her sitting in pie tins with cranesbill root (aka alum root) to help soothe that part of her body. There’s a great book for that called Hemorrhoid Miracle that I really suggest.

We also talked about the chakra energy work by Carolyn Myss (see link below) where she gives a really incredible 2 part seminar on how we leak our energy. It’s fascinating and I HIGHLY suggest you watch all of it. Kate and I watch it when we sit in our FAR infrared sauna or lie on our Biomat.

We also took some listener questions and had a great time on the show. We highly encourage you to call in and join us via Skype or call 949-505-9585 (preferably w/o using a cell phone if possible).

We hope you enjoyed this episode about eating raw meat or not. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did making it for you!

Please share it with your friends would you? Kate and I would be so grateful! 🙂

Bear with us. We’re working on it! 🙂

The post Eating Rotten Meat, Leaking Energy, Sitting in Pie Tins, Thyroid Power Drinks, Listener Questions & Much More! appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

We had a MARATHON of a show today. We hope you enjoyed it. Everybody in the chat room seemed to enjoy it.

We went for a little over 2 hours in this show. There’s so much information to get to that it sometimes is difficult to get it all in.

Kate and I were talking today about in today’s world of sound bites, news clips, commercials and bite sized snippets we feel like it really caters to a lower level audience.

Think about it, how many people do you know that really work through something in their own mind? How many people think about and wrestle with a topic with an open mind in order to come to a conclusion they’re comfortable with? It’s too easy these days to jump from thought to thought without ever going deep.

We know we can go much deeper on our shows but if you’re able to hang with us for 2 hours that’s pretty impressive.

We had a really fun time talking today. We talked about Kate’s fear of prison and where that might stem from. We talked about how she had a fear when she was a child about having all her options taken away from her. There’s not place where freedom is stripped from you and options are taken away like in prison.

We also talked about the cancer barbie doll (that has no hair…because the only way to beat cancer is through chemotherapy and radiation that’ll make you bald!) and its implications to young girls.

We talked about some ways to build stronger bones and prevent osteoporosis naturally without taking drugs.

We also talked about the movie we watched recently from the Hay House Summit which was called The Tapping Solution.

We also joked about me being in a loincloth for some reason. That was a good laugh.

We also recapped the previous weeks shows and generally had a great time.

Please share this show with your friends if you can!

Please leave us a review in iTunes if you can along with a rating. That will help tremendously!

The post Kate’s Fear of Prison Decoded, The Cancer Barbie Doll, Tips For Building Stronger Bones, Tapping, The Q-Laser & Justin In A Loincloth, Show Recaps & More! appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

I’ve taken quite a bit of time off and I wanted to share with you what I’ve been up to. I also wanted to share with you the new direction Extreme Health Radio is going and what you can expect moving forward. Thank you to all of you that have written in since we stopped producing as much content.

If you’d love to join our community, come check it out here!

You can see our protocols on this page and our store is here.

And if you’d like to just follow us on Instagram, Youtube or Facbeook come and say hello! I’m most active on Instagram stories.

Looking forward to helping you improve your health one discipline at at time.

Thank you for your support!

The post New Show: I’m Back! Here’s What To Expect Moving Forward appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

We originally had a show scheduled and recorded with Jeff Maier and Dr. Stan Stanbridge from Rapid Release. This is the tool that we have in our store that I’ve been using everyday for the last six months or so. It’s become so helpful to me that I wanted to do a show about it and share it with you guys.

Unfortunately we said some things during the video recording of it that could get them in trouble legally. We didn’t make any claims but still they wanted to be above board on the legal level. I understand that.

Because that show was supposed to be #505 I couldn’t leave a gap in the numbering system so I recorded this show. It actually worked out pretty well because I had a lot on my mind and a ton to share so it worked out great!

I talked about how we don’t have freedom of speech anymore. That’s lost. We have it, but we can go to jail for it. It doesn’t make any sense. Then I shared a story that relates to this aspect of not having an freedom of speech.

We’re moving into strange times people.

Then I shared my thoughts about Donald Trump and why you shouldn’t care who holds the office of President of this private corporation that we call The United States of America.

Make your own reality. Stop looking to strangers living thousands of miles away from you to somehow make your life better. You control your life, not them. Make your world better and the world becomes better.

Then I shared a list of some really great documentaries that I’ve watched over the years and that you might enjoy!

I also discussed urine therapy and why it’s so beneficial.

I also shared my story about getting into alternative health and natural healing and answered a bunch of listener questions.

See them below!

LISTENER QUESTIONS

Hello Justin and Kate. Hope all is well. Can you please tell me which episode has the one gentleman that desparages Dr Wakefield? I would like to listen to it again. I believe this guy is wrong and after watching more of the vaccines revealed videos I am certain of it and wonder his intentions. Thanks and no hurry, I know you are quite busy. Kind Regards, Jane

———————–

Wanted to ask if you could do an episode on DOCUMENTARIES.. and where you find them? As for books, I heard about the Anastasia series on your show. I will definitely add it to my read list. If you come across other books that comprehensively list such things, mention it in your show, I will keep an ear out

If I come across some mind blowing knowledge I will share it with you. By the way you have the best health podcast…

Thanks!

Paulius

========================

Hi Justin and Kate
I see you ( at the corner ) of Marcus webinar you do a great job as he does too but the last webinar was not as good the Zoom ones were much clearer is there ant chance of going back to Zoom ????
regards
Betty

===================================

Justin, I thought you might want to know this. I heard that President Trump ordered the FBI (temporary Director) and the lead CDC scientist, William Thompson, to raid the CDC at 3:00 last night (Mon.). I’m assuming it’s with regard to vaccines. Maybe he’ll change some vaccine laws like the one in Calif. This didn’t make mainstream news (no surprise). William Thompson became the CDC whistle blower about Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s vaccine-autism correlation.
I also heard that a 24 yr old woman traveled to Haiti recently to investigate the Clinton Foundation funds, and she was taken down – didn’t make the news of course.
Maybe you’re aware of this info but I just want to encourage you that I think there’s hope with Trump in office..

Katie

————————————–

Justin,
Is this really you? I’m all in. Because I learned through you, I’ve ordered this sauna, the bellicon rebounder, squatty potty, vitamix, and earthing products through linking from your website. I was the .001% that retired in 2012 at 42 yrs old after 19 yrs in corporate rat race (CPA and investments industry) living in the SF Bay Area. I do retirement planning as a fun side job but my passion is healthy living/coaching (that’s why I listen to your shows). I do it for myself first and then I tell all my friends and family around me. It all starts w/ me and trying it on myself first. The corporate world left me almost dead mind, body, and spirit. Since I left in 2012, I went deep into the bible, explored my diet (currently very little meat and prob 75% raw but always changing), learned yoga, and fully awakened my pineal gland. Perhaps I’m looking to emulate you and Kate’s lifestyle. I listen to your shows and am a fan of you guys.

-Can you tell me your back ground before you got into this?
-Can you suggest for me the next 5 most important things you do/use that I should look into? I’ve listed above the things I bought hearing through you..
-B/c i know you do urine therapy, I’m kinda interested in trying but scared. Can you tell me all about this experience (first time, after while, now) what it’s like and why you stick w/ it?

I’m going to study scalar energy shield next. Can you tell me your true opinions on that product hand if you still use it and how many you place in the house, etc etc (the more detail the better)?

It would be great to meet up if you’re ever up in SF area or I’m down in S.Cal.

Take care, Bill H

———————-

New listener, just finished ep #123 with Konstantin. I thought he was great but I was really surprised by what he said. What did you think about his thoughts on juicing as well as eating veggies and fruits? Part of me finished listening and thought “well, what the heck can I eat?”

I have also taken fiber supplements for a long time because I thought it netted some carbs. Do you have a different opinion?

I was really surprised when he said juicing in his opinion was not a healthy option. Never heard this school of thought before and not sure what to make of it. You guys still juice, right? Appreciate your feedback!

The post Freedom Of Speech, Thoughts On Donald Trump, Great Documentaries, Urine Therapy, How To Heal Your Gut, Listener Questions & More! appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

Today we had a FFAF show because yours truly failed to book a guest for today. I feel bad about that. I’ve been so swamped lately that I haven’t been able to keep up to date with everything.

I hope you enjoy the Free For All Friday shows though. We sure do enjoy having them for you.

Once again we had so much to talk about, much more than we ever have time for actually. In today’s world with all the articles, links, videos and images that come flying at you at warp speed there’s never a shortage of things to talk about.

On top of that we’re always expirementing with new things. Right now we’re doing a parasite cleanse that was put together by one of our favorite guests Markus Rothkranz. He’s the author of such amazing products like Heal Your Face as well as Heal Yourself 101.

We love Marcus! 🙂

We didn’t even plan on this but we discussed this restaurant called The Heart Attack Grill. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it but they serve hamburgers, fries and Coke that are aptly named The Double Bypass burger and it goes all the way up to the quadruple bypass burger. They’ve even had two or three people die possibly from a result of eating there.

The waitresses are dressed as sexy nurses and the guys are dressed as doctors or surgeons. Isn’t that a bit sickening? And to think that people go there is almost enough to give a healthy person a heart attack.

Even if people go there as a joke just to “check it out” and they don’t support it, they’re still supporting it by spending their money there. Where we spend our money is what we vote on. We vote every single day by how we choose to spend our money.

Anyway we talked about that a bit as well as these cool new sandals that are grounded to the earth. For those that don’t know grounding or “earthing” as it’s sometimes called after Clint Ober’s book called Earthing, is a new discovery of an ancient concept.

What do you think?

I love the idea of the grounded sandals but not so much the style. I’m going to email them and see if they have any plans for different styles. The idea of being grounded makes a lot of sense. This is why I use a grounded mouse pad and several other products from Less EMF to help me in that regard.

Then we talked a bit about a show we had with Kari Gray about holistic health insurance.

Can you imagine that?

Health insurance that actually covers treatments like the Gerson Therapy and products like juicers and supplements? Amazing right? Well it will be coming soon to a reality near you. 😉

Inspirational Quote:

“Your weight problems, your financial problems, and most likely any other physical or mental pains you are experiencing all center on one single issue. You have something you love to do and were born to do, and you’re turning your back on it. Having something that you love doing is a gift from the universe, and you’re rejecting it. When you reject that kind of gift, you are rejecting the grace that goes along with it. As a result, you struggle, you yearn, and you starve.” – Jon Gabriel author of The Gabriel Method

The post Heart Attack Grill, Our Parasite Cleanse Update, Grounded Sandals, Holistic Health Insurance & Lots of Fun! appeared first on Extreme Health Radio.

[include file=get-in-itunes.html] Andrea Cox dropped in from Del Mar California to talk about the raw food diet, cleansing, detoxification, juice fasting, colonics, liver cleanses, herbs and more. She’s the author of Rawlicious Recipes (amazon affiliate link) which teaches people how to make raw, healthy foods.

I apologize for the very beginning of the episode we had some minor technical difficulties (i.e – I forgot to “unmute” Andrea. Turns out that’s not a good idea if you want to interview somebody! Only the first 6 seconds were lost. I apologize.)

After you listen, comment below and tell us what you think!

We discuss the following and so much more:

• Her opinions on liver cleansing
• The importance of sweating
• The benefits of rebounding for the lymphatic system
• Why juicing is vital for overall health and healing
• How Andrea can walk you through the exact cleanse she uses on her celebrity clients
• And much more!

Podcast Transcript:

Justin: Thank you so much everybody for joining us on today’s edition of extremehealthradio.com. We really appreciate you taking some time out of your day and learning about health and nutrition from Andrea Cox. We’re really excited about having her on the show today.

Today is an amazing day. It’s great weather here in Southern California and we’re ready to go. It is Monday, September 17th, 2012 and this is episode #9. You can find that extremehealthradio.com/9. All of our shows are transcribed, so that means that anything the guest says, or I say, during a show, is searchable on our website. We highly encourage you to take advantage of that. Also, there are show notes on this particular show, and if the guest mentions a book or website, or anything like that, there is no need to write it down, as it will be in the show notes. That’s extremehealthradio.com/9.

If you have any questions, email them to [email protected] and I will be sure to answer them on the air, or myself personally. If you would like to leave a voicemail for our guest, you can do so at (949) 391-7363 and we will play your message on the air to our guest.

Today’s episode is brought to you by the Excaliber Dehydrator, which is kind of an essential in any raw food kitchen. It’s one of my favorite appliances that we have in our kitchen. If you’re going to buy one, consider buying it through us and we will get a little commission for that. It’s extremehealthradio.com/excalibur.

Before we introduce our guest, I would like to go over a little bit of our show schedule. We have some great guests lined up for you this month. We are typically doing shows right now on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This Wednesday, we have Lucas Rockwood, who is a yoga practitioner, and he will be talking to us about cleansing and detoxification, yoga, exercise and that kind of stuff. On Friday, we have Don and Carol Croft, who are doing a lot of great work with energy medicine and frequencies. They have something called ‘the terminator-2 zapper’, which helps to kill parasites.

Then, we have Christopher Wark, who beat cancer naturally. So, if you know anyone who has cancer, you may want to send that show onto them. He beat cancer using a raw food diet, so you will definitely want to check that out. We also have Sean Croxton, who is a big guy who is into the paleo diet, so he’ll be teaching us what the paleo diet is all about. We have Dr. Bruce Shelton, who is a homeopathic doctor in Arizona, doing some great work with healing people with all kinds of things, with chelation therapy, ozone and all kinds of interesting alternative medicine. We also have Dr. Gerald Smith who is a homeopathic dentist out of New York. He is going to be making the connection between cancer and root canals.

So, we have a lot of great guests coming up, so make sure to visit our show page and check that out.

I want to introduce our guest today. I’m very excited about having Andrea Cox on. She is a highly published fitness model, turned author. She has appeared in several fitness magazines, as well as other media. She has had several articles published on reflexology and raw food. She fell in love with the healthy California lifestyle and the uncooking methods of the raw food movement.

She is now a raw living food coach, who prides herself on teaching and spreading the word on living a healthy and active lifestyle. At 5’11” tall, she has stayed a size 0 for six years, eating as many as 4000 calories a day, of what she refers to as ‘real food’. She currently holds juice fasting and raw food cleansing retreats in Southern California and all over the world. So, visit her website. It’s thehealthyhaven.net. You can find out more about her classes and her books on her website.

So, thanks for joining us today Andrea, we really, really appreciate it.

Andrea: I’m in there and also send people to my newest website, alkalizewithandrea.com and also andreacox.com. alkalizewithandrea.com Justin is the webite where everybody can find out about the current retreats I’m holding. I’m holding juicing retreats and I also hold raw food retreats at the #1 health spa in the country.

Justin: So are those two brand new websites?

Andrea: No, they’ve been around for a while. However, I just hired a great person to try to keep them updated on a regular basis, so all of my following and my clients can keep up with my writing a new article or if I’m holding a new retreat or I’m on the news, or whatever I’m doing.

Justin: Great, that’s really, really good. So, you work with celebrity clients as far as cleansing and detoxification and things like that?

Andrea: I do, I do. I have one coming at 3:30 today, who I’m very excited about. I was actually on the news with him locally here in San Diego a couple of weeks ago, so am really excited to have him stopping by today.

Justin: So, people can see you and come and visit you, as well as doing things with you virtually over the internet? Is that how it works?

Andrea: Absolutely, I’m about to launch my digital detox program, which is very inexpensive. It’s just $97 and people can download on an MP3, my home raw food juicing protocol to get that last 10 lbs off, or even kick start anything that they want to begin when it comes to getting healthy, cleaning or just changing their lifestyle.

Justin: That’s great, just $97.

Andrea: That’s on alkalizewithandrea.com

Justin: Okay, we’ll have all of those links on our show page here too. I want to ask you, what is reflexology? I’ve heard about it, but I’ve never really had anything done with it. What is it?

Andrea: Reflexology is not something that I focus my energy on any longer, but I do believe it’s really important when getting healthy. It’s something that I discovered over a decade ago when I was on one of my first juice fasting retreats. I wasn’t running it, I was actually attending one, and it just really helped me get out a lot of the emotional things I was dealing with. I had had a loss and I was just really feeling like there was some deep rooted things that needed to come out of my core. Reflexology is massage of the hands and feet, and sometimes the ear lobes. All of our pressure points and all of our nerve endings go to our hands and feet. It’s just another way of detoxification, opening up the pathways, etc.

Justin: I read that you had some eating disorders that you were dealing with, prior to becoming a raw food person. Is that right?

Andrea: Absolutely, I’m so glad you brought that up, because that is why I’m here today. That is why I teamed up with my partner recently, who is going to be running some retreats with me as well. She also suffered with, actually the same eating disorder. You know, I think it’s important to let women and men, because eating disorders don’t discriminate, to know that they’re not alone, even in the midst of what they’re going through, if they have their head in a toilet bowl, or whatever, if they’ve been binge eating for 5 days at a time.

The thing now is that they can pull themselves out of it. It’s kind of the flip of a coin as to what’s really causing it. I come from the belief that yes, there’s an emotional component, but even more so, there’s a detoxification that needs to occur in the body. People are so void of minerals from eating the wrong food and bad food and packaged, processed, fertilized, homogenized, pasteurized, you know de-energized food and for so long that they can’t get the minerals they need. A common mineral that people are low on, when dealing with an eating disorder, is zinc.

Women are just low in zinc. There I go, I’m discriminating, women and men are both low in zinc and that can make you eat some crazy food. It can make you have some crazy cravings. That’s why I developed the products that I developed, to help people, re-establish that mineral balance in their bodies.

Justin: Interesting. So, have you found that there is an emotional connection with doing a detox and maybe some blockage that’s in your body? Have you found that there is, you know, when you start doing heavy detox, there is a lot of emotion that gets involved in that. Right?

Andrea: Oh yeah, I’m about to go on a month long detox myself, that I put a lot of my clients on. I have to tell you, it’s day 1 and I’m already having that come up. I think that, whenever you detox, no matter what it is, if it’s juice fasting, water fasting, or eating just fruits and vegetables, going on a raw food diet, eliminating you know, the major allergens we eat, gluten, dairy, etc.

I think there’s always a detox involved with your emotions. Because let’s face it. Our issues are in our tissues. Those issues that we’re dealing with, you know, I always make comparisons and I don’t want to do that today, but maybe you fell off your bike when you were 5 years old, and something happened that a friend pushed you off your bike, or you got into a fist fight in high school and got punched in the mouth and had a root canal from that. As you know, root canals cause the world of trouble, but you’re hanging on to all those feelings, and any moment in time, can trigger those feelings.

I will give you a great example. I just got out of a relationship, a beautiful and loving relationship, and what happened is, I look back now, shortly after, and see that we both had, I’ll speak for myself, I had so many issues from my childhood that were being triggered by this wonderful man. There were triggering and triggering, and what I realized was, that I was playing out a complete role with myself and just completely playing a role that I never dealt with about losing my father at an early age, etc., and some of the things he dealt with. I was feeling that so strongly with this man, and it took being away from him to realize that. Well, that’s a detox.

That’s emotional detox right there. When you’re not suppressing it with food. Justin, I’ll just talk you’re whole show, by the way, you don’t have to talk, you can actually eat lunch, and I’ll keep talking!! That’s what I do!!

Getting back to it, when you’re not suppressing those feelings down with food or cooked food or animal products, boy, that really comes up. I also tell my clients to steam some vegetables or eat some cooked food when they’re on a raw food diet. If they are too anxious or too moody, they need a little slowing of a cleanse, because that’s what the raw food diet is, it’s one big cleanse.

Justin: I’ve definitely noticed some issues with myself as well, with doing a raw food diet for many years. You know, it’s one of the best cleansing diets you could ever go on.

Andrea: Absolutely, it’s sometimes even better than juicing. I’m an avid juicer. I’m the juicing queen to the stars. Sometimes people don’t realize, even just eating raw food, because it’s pushing the matter down can be even more detoxifying than just juice alone

Justin: Now, did you go 100% raw overnight, like some people do, or did you ease into it?

Andrea: I’m kind of an all or nothing girl. I went overnight, but was ill, on a high protein diet, I was a fitness model and couldn’t get out of bed one day. My fingers were bent in a way that was unfamiliar to me, and either my next door neighbor or my mother, probably both, suggested I fly to New York to meet the author of a book I was reading on raw food.

I soon after flying to New York realized so I went her with all the information but her colon hydro therapist so I went and spent some time with him and ended up doing a 40-day juice fast and a 7-day water fast, which was the easiest thing I ever did in my life, believe it or not, and that changed my life forever. And, you know, I just went back to, I don’t want to promote any type of fasting on this call, but I just went back to a little water fasting and things like that, this past week. It’s always different each time you do it. But you know it’s really healing to let go, but you have to be really square in you mind to be able to take something like that on.

Justin: Yeah, water fasting is a big deal. How do you typically wean off of it? I have never done one myself.

Andrea: You know, I really don’t want to promote that on this call, I just don’t. I’d rather not, as you have to be really dialed in to do that. You know, I don’t want to go into specifics, but I don’t want people who are listening to this, who had eggs for breakfast, think that they should stop everything and drink water for 36-42 hours, whatever. I really don’t want to touch on this on this call. Is that okay with you?

Justin: Yes, no problem at all. What types of different cleansing protocols do you do? There are things like, obviously you know about all of these, liver cleanses, gallbladder cleanses, herbal cleanses, colonics and enemas. Each year, do you do a certain thing at a certain time, or do you just kind of wing it and take these things on as the year progresses.

Andrea: Do you know what, I’m going to be totally honest with you. I am very familiar with Andrea Flores and everyone, I know most of the people who created the liver and gallbladder cleanse and this flush and that flush and you need to do a kidney cleanse at this time of year, cleanse your spleen and pancreas at this time of year. I don’t believe in that. This is what I believe. I believe our skin is the largest, I believe in facts and I believe in results. Our skin is the largest organ in our body, so quit putting toxic substances on our skin.

The quickest way for a man not to get close to me is to show up to pick me up on a Friday night for a date with cologne on. He will be shown the door immediately. I think that’s the #1 thing, don’t be putting toxic substances on your body, including the toothpaste you brush with make sure it’s fluoride free. That’s #1 in cleansing, because once your skin can breathe, you can breathe. Sweating is extremely important. #2 is the colon. The colon is the way to cleanse. Let’s face it, what goes in, we’ve been putting in since we were born.

People are like, my bowel movements are great they’re stellar and I have a big bowel movement every morning. That’s great, but what did you eat the day before? Seriously, what did you eat? Did you have your fruit, your granola, your avocado salad, your chicken dinner, your whatever? Do you really see all that in the morning toilet? No. The colon is the best way that way. I think the other organs naturally cleanse after that. Moving your lymphatic system is vitally important. Moving your lymph system is really important.

I have a personal thing with the lymphatic system. I recently got extremely reconnected with my own lymphatic system, so any type of bouncing movement, like a rebounder, or sweating or any type of movement lifts the lymph system, but there are certain movements that are better for the lymph system than others. So, I believe in lymphatic and I believe in juicing. I am a huge proponent of juicing and eating fruit. A lot of people say, stay off the fruit, it feeds candida. I am at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Justin: When we come back, I want to ask you some more questions about cleansing and things like that. We’re with Andrea Cox and her website is thehealthyhaven.net. All of her Facebook and Twitter accounts are linked up on this show page, which is extremehealthradio.com/9.

Follow her on Facebook and Twitter, as she is putting out lots of great information. She has a video that I watched recently on her Facebook account that I would like to talk to her about. So, we’ll do that when we come back, so let me just run this spot and we’ll be right back.

We are back with Andrea Cox from thehealthyhaven.net and, before the break, we were talking about some cleansing and detoxification protocols that she does.

So Andrea, I want to ask you about juicing. What kinds of things do you juice, how often and how much do you juice every day?

Andrea: You know, I follow, what I call, the Andrea Cox method of listening to your body. So, I am an avid juicer. It’s very difficult for me to skip a day of juicing, because I know the benefits so well. I find that if I do skip a day, which I’ve got to tell you, probably in eight years I’ve skipped one or two days. I find that my skin doesn’t look as glowing.

I don’t have the energy the next day, so I’m a huge proponent of juicing. I like to think about juice, you know each herb or vegetable you juice has it’s own detoxifying principle. So, you know, if you’ve got inflammation juice turmeric or ginger, digestion will be ginger fennel, water retention would be parsley, cilantro would be for mercury detoxification skin would be cucumber.

I really would like to go from what I’m feeling that day. If I’ve had too much salt the day before, you’d better believe that celery is not going in my juice, but parsley is. If I’ve been eating lots of fruits, you’d better believe that celery is going into my juice to mineralize me. And so on and so forth. This morning I had everything local from the Farmers Market, from yesterday of course. I am a huge proponent of local. I know all of my farmers by name.

I had parsley and I had pomegranate seeds, cucumber, celery, fresh mint and fennel. That was my juice today. I did about 3-4 cups and I had that around noon. That’s how I roll. I had a couple of mangoes later on and I’m just kicking butt getting some off time hanging with Justin.

Justin: Isn’t it amazing how after you switch your diet your cravings go and your feeling of needing to feel full all the time. It’s amazing how much food that you used to eat. I wake up and I’m not hungry until 2:00 p.m.

Andrea: Do you know what? I want to say something about that. I’m so glad that you brought that up Justin, because not everybody’s like you, and I just know, without mentioning any specific names, but with a specific person who I got to know very well, it depends on your level of toxicity, because a toxic person will wake up and have to go and grab something to eat right away. But, a non-toxic person, or someone who’s done tons and tons of cleanses, like probably yourself and myself, could go all day and just have, you know, a juice around 2 o’clock or whatever, and be fine.

Many days I don’t even have my juice, especially lately, until later and later. And then there’s many days when I like to have that fruit meal and I like to have that evening meal. This past weekend, I spent two days out of town and had gourmet raw food. Am sure you’re familiar with Olaf? We love Olaf, we love stuff eater, don’t we?

Justin: Yeah, he’s great.

Andrea: I spent two days of eating the gourmet raw food and woke up today and thought, my God, what are you going to do now to get rid of all that damage? But, I’m back on my protocol and it worked. I think that’s the thing, find what works for you. If I can give anyone 5 tips, it would be 1) nobody else has your body, so what works for Andrea Cox, what works for Justin, is not going to work for Joe Schmo. You have to find what works for you, 2) get a juicer, even before a Vita-Mix, especially before a dehydrator.

The dehydrator is for when I’ve got food that’s going to go bad and I want to whip up a raw dehydrated recipe or something like that. I barely dehydrate food anymore. 3) Surround yourself with people who live your type of lifestyle.

That is so important. You know, we’re most like the five people we surround ourselves with. So, right now the five people around me are full of life, full of energy, full of health and they’re focused. They’re people that believe in what I’m doing and I believe in what they’re doing. I’m very careful about who I allow in my circle and who I allow to be around me in my space. That’s important. 4) Listen to your body.

If you’re craving something, and your craving liver or like meat, look up on the internet what that really means. Maybe you’re low in iron, but maybe you need some spinach with some orange juice squeezed on it so you can absorb the iron in the spinach. So look at what you’re craving, or maybe something has triggered your emotions. The fight you had with your brother or sister when you were 15 years old or something like that and it’s triggering the emotions so are you emotionally eating or are you eating because you want to eat.

I mean, that’s a huge one. With my clients, the clients I take on, especially the one’s who have eating disorders you know they can go through a breakup and go one way or the other. They’ll either not eat or they’ll over eat because they’re not getting the norepinephrine, dopamine, oxytocin to their brain that they were getting when they were in that loving relationship. And that’s a toughie. To not jump into something else right away but to actually to say, okay, how else can I get these feelings filled and not go off the wagon nutritionally. Lastly, cleanse your colon, make best friends with the colon hydro therapist.

People rip on me all the time for that, because I have videos on colon hydrotherapy and I believe in it. But, I tell you what, you should have one on speed dial, because when your digestion stops, that’s when you get things going and then you flow again with life

Justin: My wife (Kate) and I just had our very first one. I’ve been doing raw food since 2003, and we only just went for our very first colonic probably six months ago, and what an experience that was. It makes such a difference.

Andrea: How was it?

Justin: It was amazing and was nothing like I expected. It was not nearly as invasive as I thought and the lady who did it was really great and was really knowledgeable. It was an amazing experience and I think it’s important to do something like that, at least once a year, right?

Andrea: Yes, I’d say at least once a year. I’d say that when we get into raw food, once a week. Absolutely.

Justin: I wanted to ask you a little bit about, coming out of the fitness industry like you did, I work out a lot at the gym, and it’s interesting to me the difference between what you hear trainers telling people to eat and what is actually healthy. I’m sure you’ve noticed this huge chasm with results and how your body looks, versus how healthy you are. They are two completely different things, aren’t they?

Andrea: They are very different. The results that you get when coming out of the gym, I mean you’ve got to really differentiate between information and real truth information. People are putting, and I was guilty of this years ago, powders and things like in their bodies, protein powder made from whey that’s made in the factory and they think they’re doing themselves a healthy thing, and I’ll tell you, that is the definition of depression right there. I did that stuff for years.

I did the low carb diet, I used protein powders within 20 minutes of leaving the gym for my muscles. It was so beat into me. I would eat six meals a day. Talk about clogged. My first colonic. I mean you want me to tell you how my colonics are now?

Justin: Please do, we’d love to know.

Andrea: Okay, well let’s talk poo. If you can’t talk poo Justin, what can we talk about?

Justin: Right.

Andrea: My first colonic was just horrible and the woman said she had healed herself from cancer, this was in Ohio. She was from Panama her name was (inaudible) and she said you’re eating too much protein. And I said, ah you know whatever. I mean it was coming out like, locks. And now my colonic, I could go to a new colonic person tomorrow and not even go to my regular colonic lady I go to and she would just be like, wow! Oh my gosh, you are textbook colonic.

I do a colonic now and they are just blown away, they have to fill me once and then I release the entire time on my own, I don’t even get a second or third fill. Most people get 30 fills during a colonic, I get one. Why? Because I’m clean. I’m so incredibly clean that my body flows.

There are times, like today, where I wake up in the morning and from morning until bed I feel the energy rushing up and down my center that is so strong and so powerful that it’s, sometimes it’s hard to sleep at night because my energy is so good and that’s when I know I need a little denser food maybe go raw, make a little gourmet in the dehydrator something to slow me down.

Justin: So what would you suggest for someone out there who’s eating, let’s see, if someone’s eating just a standard American diet what would you suggest for them if they’re interested in getting a colonic done, what would you suggest as far, is there, are there things they need to do to ease into that or should they just go get one?

Andrea: Yes. I wouldn’t suggest getting a colonic done right away. If you’re eating a standard American diet or even if you’re still eating meat work on your diet first. Wake up that old matter. You really want to wake up that old matter so we need to start juicing, it’s very alkaline and your body is very acidic when you’re eating regular food or standard American diet.

Let’s not even talk standard America, let’s talk about the average person that’s eating like I was as a fitness model. There eating 3-4 times a day there eating animal products at each meal they’re having eggs for breakfast having a chicken salad for lunch there maybe doing a whey protein drink after the gym, you know someone, you know that’s pretty much the standard American diet and what we’ve been made to believe is healthy in the past decade, correct?

Justin: Right.

Andrea: The whole Atkins theory. So let’s talk about that person, that person has stuck mucoid plaque on there colon walls and they may look in the mirror and say, oh, I’m lean, look how lean I am back (inaudible) you can my vein, look I’m lean. No. You’re not lean it’s stuck to your colon walls. Lean is not necessarily healthy, you’ve got to really look at that. So I would suggest that that person start introducing juicing No. 1 and then more fruits and vegetables No. 2, maybe have their cooked food and their animal products in the evening, and then go for maybe even two weeks without any animal products. Have your cooked food in the evening kind of transition slowly, you’re going to just leave out the animal products.

A week later, get your colonic, see how it goes and set up the situation, see how you feel and then go back to whatever you feel is comfortable for you in that time. It’s a transition. I jumped into it head first and I call that “raw done wrong” in my book, it completely, it was wrong way to go.

Justin: Wow! So you just recommend basically for people to ease into getting a colonic. Now what about doing things like enemas, things like that. Do you do those?

Andrea: You know I did before I moved to where I live now only because I was moving in with another person and I didn’t want that device around but I just ordered one today. Yes I ‘m a huge proponent of Colima boards, enemas, whatever you want to do. The Colima board didn’t work for me, I’m not really a fan of the Colima board but I am a fan of just doing an old enema.

Justin: Okay. Now, can you tell me, I’ve never done one, and how do you do an enema. Can you kind of break that down a little bit for us?

Andrea: You really want me to break it down? I love you, you’re so cute. Okay. So the way I like to do an enema, and when I put people on my cleanse and at my retreat they do an enema, they’ll each have an enema bag, they hang it above their head like on a towel rack, and they’ll fill it with quality water, not bad water, coffee enemas are good too but not for the average person, it wakes up too much matter to fast in the body and they’re not able to handle the liver detoxification.

It can often give people a little bit of anxiety too if they’re prone to anxiety. I give coffee enemas consistently but I’m not own to excess anxiety. So it’s a bag hanging above their head and they’ll insert the insertion tube just roughly an inch into the rectum and they’ll let the water flow. And they’ll feel the urge to release and it will just release around the tube. Done. Clean it off and you’re done.

Justin: Okay. Some people talk about how it could last like an hour, or how quick are these enemas. How long do they last?

Andrea: You know just to refill the bag one to two times maybe three times and you’re done.

Justin: Interesting. I’m going to have to get into that because I’ve always wanted to do it but I’ve never really gotten into, like I said recently, I did my firsts colonic and I’ve been eating this way since 2003 so I’m kind of a slow mover….

Andrea: Justin, I wish I’d have been there. I wish I would have been and witnessed your colonic. I bet it was beautiful if you’ve been eating this way since 1993, beautiful.

Justin: Yes, it was pretty good. So do you grow any of your own wheat grass or sprouting, things like that, do you do all that?

Andrea: Well, I’ll tell you, in Ohio I did. I had a garden and I had a wheat grass guy that delivered to me every other day, I really had it made in Ohio with the way I was living and I actually, it’s funny you say that, I’m seeking that out right now.

I’m seeking to move into a place that 80 percent of the food is grown by us, which I think I found that perfect fit. And I have a very dear friend that I did an interview with that you might want to call up, Anthony Anderson and he is amazing, he’s into permaculture, he’s got a website, he’s really, really great guy. But he’s taught me a lot too just by watching him and what he talks about and his videos and things like that on how to really sustain yourself and grow your own food. It’s really obvious when watch someone who knows what they’re doing when it comes to that and who does it and I’m so eager to learn.

Currently I’m not, I buy 90 percent of my food at the Farmer’s Market and 10 percent as a local organic grocery store.

Justin: Sprouting, do you do any of that, or?

Andrea: You know, I have it made here in California. One of the growers that I buy from at my local Farmer’s Market Lucedia, they sprout for you and I sprouted for years and I’ve got to honest, I cut cost where it’s important but I think time is extremely important, I learned that by a recent friend, he taught me that time is important.

Instead of being out running errands and things, or doing things like sprouting it’s better to kind of focus on things, your health your business ectera, so I don’t spend time sprouting any longer. I was pretty crazy when I sprouting and everything. I purchased my sprouts weekly by Susie’s Farm, which is a local farm.

Justin: What about fermented foods, are you a big fan of fermenting things.

Andrea: Oh my gosh, I love you! This is looking great for me. You can come to all my favorite stuff. I’m going to do the happy dance right now. I love fermenting foods. Did that come over really loud? I love to make coconut kefir, coconut yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut. I’m spoiled living here in beautiful Southern California. I have a great gal who makes homemade kimchi, sauerkraut at the Farmer’s Market. I also represent Rejuvinative Foods who sends me a gorgeous product.

They just sent me a huge box of, are you ready, fermented ketchup and tons of sauerkraut, kimchi, they have a great ultimate crop. I believe, once a day minimum, you need to have fermented foods in our diet. Minimum. Minimum.

Justin: It’s such a standard in just about every culture, but, for some reason, in American culture, for the last 50-100 years, we just don’t eat anything fermented really.

Andrea: I want to bring up a great point. Someone I just was friends with that I had in my life, she had a dislike for fermented foods and that actually is a sign of someone who has some toxins going on and you just can’t stand even the taste of them. The detoxification process after eating fermented foods is severe. Am sure you know that, right?

Justin: Yes.

Andrea: Someone who doesn’t smell good and says, oh no, not for me. They’ve got some stuff that has to come out. You know what I mean? That was always a concern with me. So, we get concerned when a client or a dear friend says ‘I don’t like sauerkraut’.

I go, wait. Do you like kefir, do you like this, do you like that, and they go, I like kombucha. To me, kombucha is different and I’ll tell you why. Unless you’re making your own, which I did for years from a mushroom, but even then you’re using black tea, which isn’t the healthiest type of tea. Kombucha is full of sugar, so there’s a reason people will say ‘I don’t like kimshi, sauerkraut or kefir, but I like kombucha. So, I think they’re two different categories. Don’t you agree?

Justin: It seems that way, especially with the commercial kombuchas. I think they’re obviously and purposely not fermenting them all the way so that people will like the flavor and the taste.

Andrea: Absolutely, I agree. I think when you make your own, the reason I quit making huge batches of kombucha. The reason I quit making them when I was in Ohio is someone told me that I really shouldn’t use black tea. Black tea is not the best tea for us and the tannins in tea, not so much. I’m not feeling it.

Justin: Interesting, so you gave up your scoby and just moved on.

Andrea: I did. This is going to sound really funny. The scoby, the big mushroom, I cut up and I blended it in soups that took over a month and thought oh, it’s healthy because it’s a fermenting mushroom, so I’ll get all sorts of bacterial life in my gut. Too much bacterial life in my gut, let me tell you. I was fermenting from the inside out. That was an experience.

Justin: How funny. What are some things that women out there can do, as far as wanting to take care of themselves with makeup, doing their nails, hair color and getting things done like that. What are some non-toxic ways that you take care of yourself, so that you’re not spraying chemicals all over your body?

Andrea: Okay, well this is a good one and I’m so glad you brought it up, because I just had a young lady email me and I had another lady post on my blog and this is the question I get the most. Your skin looks great, what do you do? How do you take care of your hair? I do not color my hair, as I’m a natural blonde, so if I feel like my hair is getting a little dark, I’ll go to the beach or I’ll sit in the sun. The hair on my arms is super blonde.

I used to color my hair, because my hair was darker when I still ate animal products so I had to color it. My skin is great. It used to not be great. I had cystic acne growing up and was even on Accutane for a while. And now, I think I had a pimple last week for the first time in like a year. Honestly, it’s stress related completely. In fact, I haven’t gotten a colonic in a while that can also clear up your skin, so I choose not to wear makeup.

Today, it’s near 3 o’clock I don’t have anything on my face. I actually take the fruit I’m eating, a mango, papaya or something like that, and I’ll rub it on my face for a natural face mask. I just use, for a lipstick, the inside of a dragon fruit, so those are really great cosmetics. When I do have to go on TV, or wear cosmetics, I use a line by Jane Iredale, which is a natural mineral makeup. I have been blessed to have that sent to me, for free.

A lot of cosmetic companies send me all kinds of good stuff that are natural. I don’t believe in mica and talc. I think those are extremely toxic. I won’t even work with anyone who use regular cosmetics on their skin. I am really strict on that rule. I once had a girl who I did a juice fast with, and I went and checked out her Facebook blog to see what she was about, and I saw that she said 3 things that she couldn’t live without and one was her makeup, and I thought this girl will never work with me ever.

Justin: What was the name of the makeup you mentioned that you use sometimes?

Andrea: I like Jane Iredale but I recently found one I like better called 100 Percent Pure Cosmetics, it’s 100 percent pure.

Justin: We’ll have people look into that. Now I saw a couple of videos of you on youtube and if you haven’t subscribed to Andrea’s youtube channel I suggest you. The video I watched was, there was two of them I wanted to ask you about, one was a video and you and I don’t know what his name was but he had a big beard and he talked about doing some lemon and olive oil like as a daily liver cleanse.

Andrea: Craig Summers, my dear friend Craig Summers, that wrote the Raw Foods Bible. He’s an amazing guy, so that was just a liver flush I put people on at the very end of the day and it’s just basically lemon juice, olive oil and sea salt to kind of detoxify the lower bowel before dinner. I mean before dinner, before bedtime.

Justin: Okay. And how much of each one do they drink when they make this concoction ?

Andrea: You know, it really depends on if they’re fasting or if they’re not that’s really part of my program that I teach at my retreat. And that’s also going to be in the digital detox that I’ve got on my website coming for $97. Yes, it’s great. So really it depends, I mean if they were cleansing they could do just half a cup and squeeze the juice of the grapefruit in it and some sea salt, but if they’re still eating they’d want to do a little less.

Justin: Tell me a little about the digital product you were just mentioning about cleansing, you said it’s $97 and what will it contain so people can keep an eye out for that?

Andrea: Well I first want to talk to you about my YouTube channel. It is thathealthyhavennet1 so that’s where they can go and subscribe and hit like on my videos and I love that. I mean to ask you what was the second video you were talking about?

Justin: Oh, the second video was the, there was one where you were talking about the benefits of using some kind of sauna. I forgot which one you used but just the benefits of sweating and things like that. I wanted to ask you about that.

Andrea: I have a far infared sauna. I believe in the inferred sauna but I’m learning new information now from the lists that I’ll be running retreats at in Palm Springs that a wood burning sauna might be more beneficial so I will keep you posted via E-Mail on that and maybe your viewers can write in about what’s preferable but I have an inferred sauna, I like to use it at least once a day, I often do bikram yoga at least five times a week.

I believe sweating is imperative for us to heal and when we don’t sweat…it’s the No. 1 way to eliminate, that and through your bowels and gosh if you’re doing either of them I’m sorry but you’ve got to at least one so I believe in that and as far as the digital detox goes, that is $97 and the reason it’s such a great deal, here’s the reason, I’m running, I’ve been given the green light, the go ahead to run the juice fast and raw food retreats at the No. 1 health spa in the country, located here in southern California.

I’ll also be running them at a wonderful mineral springs spa in Palm Springs, I would say that’s probably the No. 2 health spa in the country so I’ve really been blessed with that however, it was really my honor to do a program for people that they could afford if they couldn’t afford to come to these retreats.

So those retreats are between $3000 and $5000 so for people who can afford that $.90 of it I take them through my same cleanse raw food protocol, I pretty much coined the Raw Till Dinner and Juicing Till Dinner and all of that, I pretty much coin phrased that, so I take them through my full protocol and the supplements I use which are available on my website, those humic and fulvic acid products that are amazing which are made from clay to remineralize them and everything they’ll need for that and it’s just a beautiful thing.

Now if they’re interested just log onto the alkalizewithandrea.com website.

We’re also about to launch my new members section on andreacox.com and yes, that’s going to be great, and the healthyhaven.net is where they can find my products which are my breakfast blend, an easy formula, I talk about my book Rawlicious Recipes for sale up there and I’m about to launch my new Ebook Juicing For Beauty.

So these are all great things yeah, but if they want to come and attend my retreat, I’m running a retreat with my partner, Carie Tapagino in San Diego in October and we’ve got very limited availability, very very limited, and we’re offering a great price it’s under $2000 and it’s three days of bliss at the No.1 health spa in the country, so that is yeah great and they can sign up at alkalizewithandrea.com, and yeah, I think the digit detox is a great alternative for those people who either can’t make over here or they just don’t have the funds right now.

Justin: Wow! That sounds really interesting because that’s something I know I need to do and it’s interesting that how powerful this cleansing is because people heal from cancer and Stage 4 cancer doing these types of things so I think it’s really great to get the word out so that people can understand that this stuff is really really powerful.

Andrea: And Justin we’d love to have you, we have double occupancy in our rooms so you and your beautiful wife can come and enjoy all the amenities. The place we’re having it at La Costa Resort And Spa, it’s home of the Chopra Center. So, yeah, it’s an amazing place that people can enjoy all the amenities of the Chopra Center and I’ve got to tell you I just feel blessed beyond belief. I mean if you would have told me 15 years ago that I would be blessed with everything that’s happening in my life right now I wouldn’t believed it.

Justin: Wow! What an amazing thing. So people can find you, I know you have to leave you’ve got a celebrity client coming up in five minutes so we’ll let you go, but people can find you at thehealthyhaven.net and alkalizewith andrea.com and what was the third one?
