THE #1 MICROPLASTIC EXPOSURE ISN'T WATER BOTTLES, IT'S THIS!

Microplastics In Tea Revealed

Dr Pompa 0:00

4.5 increase of heart attacks with microplastic accumulation. And again, tea drinkers are leading the way.

SPEAKER_02 0:08

11.6 billion microplastics and 3.4 billion nanoplastics per cup.

Dr Pompa 0:16

People are drinking tea for health reasons. And meanwhile, poisoning the two places that are most important: your brain and your testicles or your ovaries.

SPEAKER_02 0:27

People who drink tea tend to think of themselves as healthier than their coffee drinker here.

Dr Pompa 0:34

Women cannot do ice baths like a man. A 10-second cold morning shower, they'll get a better result than two minutes in a darn ice bath. Toxic tea. What? My tea in the morning, organic tea, could start my day wrong, literally. Toxic tea. Okay. I'm here with the expert. This is going to blow you away. This is information that you need to hear. Oh, and this is going to go beyond tea. Trust me. We're going to have a lot of toxic conversations. But I am here. Josephine with Acceler. I'm going to show it right away because this is the best tea. It's the only tea I drink now. Elixir tea is like, you know, my wife's favorite tea. Our friend Katie, her favorite tea. This tea is taking the world by storm. You're the creator of it. We're going to talk about that, but we have a lot to talk about. So how are you?

SPEAKER_02 1:35

Good. How are you? Thanks for having me.

Dr Pompa 1:37

Yeah, absolutely. Well, look, uh, Elixir is just one of your brains. You're an absolute incredible entrepreneur. And you have three incredible businesses. I don't know if we're going to get to them all, but um we're definitely gonna be talking about uh tea and why it's so toxic. And microplastics are one of the big things. Uh you know, when people start their day with their cup of tea, um, I cringe because even when it's organic, typically it's toxic. And we're gonna talk about that. But how'd you get into this?

SPEAKER_02 2:10

No, I uh I was raw vegan at the time and I scrutinized every single thing that went in my body, and I'm such an avid tea drinker. And I look at this teabag and I'm like, I don't trust you, you know, like when you have trust issues. I'd had a lot of trust issues with the teabag. And um I went with the USGA and we did a lot of studies on the teabag, and I found out that indeed you can't trust the teabag because it's full of microplastics and um promatoide and bleach and epichloragene, all kinds of other things that shouldn't be in something that we are consuming, let alone steeping in hot water, then consuming.

Dr Pompa 2:49

Um the plastics come out.

SPEAKER_02 2:51

The plastics come out, all the toxins come out.

Dr Pompa 2:53

What was the study? Um you and I both did uh Instagram videos on it. Um the amount of plastic in one.

SPEAKER_02 3:01

Angel University.

Dr Pompa 3:02

Yeah. How much was in one cup, a morning cup?

SPEAKER_02 3:06

11.6 billion microplastics and 3.4 billion nanoplastics per cup.

Dr Pompa 3:14

That's maybe the most of anything that we ingest in a day. And you know, it's more than a bottle of water by far. Yes. A plastic bottle of water.

SPEAKER_02 3:22

And you know what's the worst part of it is the nanoplastics, because when the microplastics, when the plastic is heated, it gets to so there's macro microplastics and there's nanoplastics.

Dr Pompa 3:31

Explain explain the difference because there is a big difference.

SPEAKER_02 3:33

Right. So microplastics are bigger than nanoplastics. Nanoplastics are smaller than 10 microns.

Dr Pompa 3:38

So that means they get into your cells more. They're more damp.

SPEAKER_02 3:40

They're actually crossing the blood brain barrier, the testicular barrier, the follicular barrier. Actually, people uh in postmortem uh tissue, they found uh microplastics in the brain. It was like 10%.

Dr Pompa 3:54

It was like the weight of a teaspoon.

SPEAKER_02 3:55

Yes, it was yes, a teaspoon of plastic in the brain.

Dr Pompa 3:58

Driving, I've did videos on that too because I was stunned when I heard that. But what I want people to understand, I mean, I I've been talking a lot about avoiding these microplastics, worse yet, nanoplastics, which they turn smaller. In tea, the amount of nanoplastics, probably because of the heat, makes them smaller and more you know, more dangerous. So that that makes tea then one of the most toxic things you can possibly drink.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

Toxic than you ask.

Dr Pompa 4:27

Yeah. And it's like, so I've been warning people about microplastics, but um people are always saying to me, what is the number one thing that it can do? And everyone thinks the plastic bottle, which I don't drink water out of plastic, right? But it's tea. Is it number one? I mean, is it the number one exposure?

SPEAKER_02 4:46

It is the number one exposure, and especially as we touched on that, you know, the nanoplastics that are coming from it. So yeah, I mean, it's billions. You're talking about the billions of particles. That's a lot of plastic. And people who drink tea are drinking it once or twice or three times a day. Like I drink five cups of tea a day because I'm I'm really a big tea drinker. And you're drinking it every single day. So that's not something that you're having once in a while. That's that's a repetitive ritual. That's something that you are taking every day.

Why Tea Bags Leach Toxins

Dr Pompa 5:15

Yeah. Accumulates. Exactly. And and I I think that's um the kiss of death. But I think the sad part is people are drinking tea for a health reason. Uh and not everyone, some people like the caffeine, but most often they're drinking the jasmine tea, the green tea, um, their favorite, whatever tea it is, you know, because of the antioxidants, et cetera. And meanwhile, they're they're poisoning the two places that are most important, your brain and your testicles or your ovaries. You know, it's like, I mean, massive hormone disruption, which I I want to get to. You've become an expert in this topic because, you know, of your teas. Um, but I want to say this though. Most people watching this right now are saying, well, I don't use those tea bags that are plastic. You know how those little triangular ones that are clearly plastic, right? So we're we're not talking about just that, although those are bad, but we're talking about the regular plastic or the regular plastic, the regular paper-ish looking tea bags. Why do those have plastic in it?

SPEAKER_02 6:19

And well, I mean, I always give this very simple analogy, okay? If you go to your printer paper and put that piece of paper in hot boiling water, what's going to happen to this paper? It's gonna disintegrate. Plus, would you even drink that juice? Let's just go from there. Yeah, yeah. Would you drink that? No, you wouldn't.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

Um, but for to prevent the bag from falling apart in water from bursting and on all the leaves coming out, they have to layer that paper with something, some chemical, you know, plastic, you know better what all the all the chemicals that are in there. Well, there's actually a lot of formaldehyde.

Dr Pompa 6:56

Formaldehyde makes it tougher. By the way, that's why I warn people about toilet paper, because toilet paper uses formaldehyde. They are chlorine bleaching it, which a lot of the teabags, same thing, which forms dioxins. Cancer causing, cancer causing, and we're putting it in those fragile tissues. I travel with my own toilet.

SPEAKER_02 7:15

Now that, you know, after I heard from you. Yeah, exactly.

Dr Pompa 7:17

Well, that's why, because that's not that's not a small deal, that's a big deal. But again, this tea bag issue is also a big deal because the same chemicals are in the tea bags plus the microplastics.

SPEAKER_02 7:27

And the nanoplastics.

Dr Pompa 7:28

Yeah. And then I would argue if you're buying a non-organic tea, tea, for whatever reason, is one of the hot most highly sprayed um pesticide-laden foods, if you will, that we're ingesting. So you have pesticides, microplastics, dioxins, I mean, uh formaldehyde. And we're starting our day with it.

SPEAKER_02 7:48

And we think we're healthy. What people who who drink tea tend to think of themselves as healthier than their coffee drinker appears.

Dr Pompa 7:56

So Right. Yeah. And that's like you're you're absolutely right. Like, hey, I don't drink coffee. You know, I drink tea. Well, you know, coffee's not coming in a toxic bag, you know.

SPEAKER_02 8:07

So well, it's got its own issues from mold acrylamides.

Dr Pompa 8:11

Yeah, exactly. Acrylamides?

SPEAKER_02 8:13

Yes.

Dr Pompa 8:13

I switched to Trista. Do you know, do you know him?

SPEAKER_02 8:16

No.

Dr Pompa 8:17

Oh my gosh. You I have to I thought I introduced you to him for some. I'm gonna introduce you to him. Trista. Um, I switched this year, uh last year, and um it's the only acrylamide free coffee on the market. And what are acrylamides in the roasting process? You know, these acrylamides are i for they're very, very carcinogenic.

SPEAKER_02 8:41

Very good. They are in all the kids' cereals. Yeah, they are yeah, they're in kids' cereals. Well, I mean, everything that's heated to a certain level and uh, you know, it has a protein or uh in it is actually becoming um acrylamides and that's that's a big issue. You know, I I you know, as you know, I have a daughter and I really care about that stuff, so I'm uh really studying that whole world and I feel bad. I feel bad for for kids that are being fed pasteurized milk and cereal every morning for breakfast, thinking that that's whatever.

Dr Pompa 9:15

Do you eat cereal with acrylamides in it?

unknown 9:18

No.

Dr Pompa 9:18

Uh she said no. Um that's if she called you out. Wait a minute. That's what that's happening.

SPEAKER_00 9:23

I researched the an ex for the breakfast.

Dr Pompa 9:26

Right right now, I'm I'm getting off topic. Um, but you know, Bobby flipped the pyramid, right? Yeah, it's like because do you realize that those toxic cereals you just mentioned were at the base of the pyramid?

SPEAKER_02 9:38

With the red 40 and the blue dyes.

Dr Pompa 9:40

Yeah, exactly. Meaning it's healthier than like grass-fed meat, healthier than I mean, this is what they said.

SPEAKER_00 9:46

It's a mess.

Dr Pompa 9:47

Yeah. And by the way, people would be like, well, I don't need for that stupid pyramid anyway. Well, no, it's like you're it this affects what your kids are being fed at school because they base it on the pyramid. You know, it's like that's why your kids are eating all these nasty, refined, processed, ultra-processed foods because that's the base of the damn pyramid. Here's the funny thing 11 years ago. I don't know if you saw the clip. Well, I'm I'm doing watch my Instagram because I'm sure by the time this airs it, you'll see it. Um, 11 years ago, South Park figured it out. 11 years ago, I paid the clip. They flipped the pyramid and they're like, it's a match. We solved the health problems in the you know in the country. We flipped the pyramid. Well, you know, Bobby, you're too late. Uh South Park already figured it out. So, anyways, my nose is itching. Anyway, so how do we get on the pyramid? Food pyramid.

SPEAKER_02 10:34

How do we get on it?

Dr Pompa 10:35

Yeah, how do we talk about that? I don't even know how we started talking about food pyramids.

SPEAKER_02 10:38

We talk about acrylamides. Acrylamides, yeah, thanks.

Dr Pompa 10:41

And to keep us on track. So the young brain here, her daughter's her daughter's beautiful as she is, sitting uh standing over here. But um, yeah, so the acrylamides, the coffee, a lot of coffees have mold. So truist, uh, I yeah, I he I love their coffee, so I'm you know talking about it, but um they it's low acid, acrylamide free. They do this fermentation process and they figure it out. By the way, acrylamides are way more toxic for some people. Some people don't get rid of it very easy. Yeah, they don't detox it and they build up. And that's what I believe when it really drives cancer in people. So don't start your day with the wrong cup of coffee or tea, as you're finding out. You were gonna say something.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

Yes. Oh, or our cereal.

Dr Pompa 11:25

Yeah, the cereal. That's how you because the cereals have acrylamide.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

Anything that's crunchy that has protein in it, like even if you take your piece of bread and you toast it, just don't make it crunchy. Yeah. Anything that's burned, uh even you meat, like your barbecued meat.

Dr Pompa 11:40

Well, that's why I don't eat barbecued meat. Yeah, by the way, to your point. Yeah. So when you you love your uh burgers on the grill, if you're going to use it, to her point, don't burn it, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:51

Put um a wood, a piece of cedar wood or something under it. Yeah. And just cook it with the Yeah, there you go.

Dr Pompa 11:58

All right, cool. All right, acrylamides. But here, okay, so the the tea. I the the tea bag brings a lot of problems and to the point. So people saying, well, I I kind of already dissed a little bit on organic tea. I drink organic tea. Is this still the problem? Is this still a problem?

SPEAKER_02 12:16

It is still a problem. Can I open one of these? Yeah, please.

Dr Pompa 12:19

Good. So answer that.

SPEAKER_02 12:21

It is still a problem because um while these organic leaves are sitting in that toxic bag, and when you put it in hot water, all of these chemicals from the bag are going to leach. I just for me, you're drinking tea, you're doing yourself a favor. Do yourself an extra favor. At least cut that tea bag open and dump the tea, the tea leaves out and drink that if you don't want to just switch, you know, because there are a lot of people who have a lot of tea in their cabinets. And we I don't want to, I'm not going through.

Dr Pompa 12:51

Well, I mean, the but the problem with that, then you have to run it through a strainer. Yes, right, because you can't just be choking down on the strainer could have lead. So I just bit some of that. I like that by the way, I eat them. Like I I like the taste of them. A lot of people do.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Ben Greenfield eats them. I have a lot of A-listers here and I love it. Hollywood that eats them.

The Tea Strip Alternative

Dr Pompa 13:09

This is tea is honestly, it's you know, taking the nation by storm. Uh obviously, no teabag, but um, tell us the process of this, you know, and like this one is the um I love olive leaf for health reasons, ginger. This just happens to be my favorite one.

SPEAKER_02 13:25

Yeah, oh, cool.

Dr Pompa 13:26

Yeah, picked it right out. Um, I mean, there's some really good flavors you have, and you can talk about that.

SPEAKER_02 13:32

But so olive leaf was my first patent.

Dr Pompa 13:35

Because doesn't, I mean, aren't you connected to olive trees like in a big way?

SPEAKER_02 13:39

Yes, I am in a big way. Um so, but yeah, olive leaf was my first patent. So I wanted, you know, my father taught me that the olive tree is the biggest gift um that's in Mother Nature. And every part of the tree has benefits to it. But he had the highest regard to the leaf. Uh, you know, I would I would remember when I was little, he would boil the leaves of the olive tree uh and give them to my grandma, and he wouldn't allow her to take any diabetes medicine. He's like, you just drink this every day and you're okay. You don't need the the that medicine stuff.

Dr Pompa 14:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:14

And um, you know, after I lost him, I wanted to go and do some research and see what was it witchcraft? Was it like what was it just theories or do these leaves actually have benefits to them? And I went with the USDA in Berkeley and um we studied the leaves and uh I was able to uh create a process that's a patented process that takes the leaves and runs and you know, we run them through some drying uh steps. And we end up with a uh product that has more antioxidants, more um benefits than the the fresh leaf that's on the tree. So for example, um one gram of the powder, so we take the leaves, we dry them, then we grind them in very fine powder. Think about the matcha, matcha powder that uh one gram of that powder has 26,250 micrograms of stable and bioavailable antioxidants for one gram. That's the equivalent of consuming five packs of freshly picked blueberries. Oh wow, um, and stable and bioavailable because we know that antioxidants deplete very fast. So we I stabilized antioxidants in there. Plus, it has antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral properties. Um so olive leaf is like my OG product. It's it's something that I absolutely um swear by. So I put that in the strip and I called it the detox because antioxidants help uh they are free radical scavengers, so they help attach to everything that's not serving your body, all these toxins, and get the body rid of them.

Dr Pompa 15:53

So that is well, and actually it it antioxidants also help you recycle intracellular glutathione. Yeah. Um, and so that that's you know one of the benefits. But olive leaf, I I don't I don't know if you know this, but um the tree of life, biblically, yes, the leaves are literally the most powerful medicine of trees. Yeah, yeah. And so olive leaf, I think biblically is like there's there's a lot here. I mean, of course, olive oil, but leaves are the most powerful.

SPEAKER_02 16:21

Yes, I mean, they are mentioned so many times in the Bible.

Dr Pompa 16:24

I know, yeah. So this is my favorite, the olive uh leaf and the ginger. And of course, ginger has its benefits, majorly anti-inflammatory. But again, it's it's the process that you do that keeps it alive, if you will. Yes. Um, keeps the antioxidants alive and makes it so good. And by the way, this people are like, what do you do with that? Like you're seeing pompous sitting here eating it, but you don't have to eat it like me. I'm just doing it because I like the taste. But you put that in the hot water and then it dissolves, and there's there's nothing left. It just, you know.

SPEAKER_02 16:53

It's like a magic trick.

Dr Pompa 16:54

Yeah, you're not like choking down the uh oh no, no.

SPEAKER_02 16:57

You just put it. I I've uh perfected the uh size of the particle so it disperses perfectly in the cup, and you just drink it.

Dr Pompa 17:06

Yeah, I'm I'm gonna be honest with you. Um, I always put two only because I love it.

SPEAKER_02 17:12

You love it. That's strong.

Dr Pompa 17:14

I overdo, yeah. So that might be too strong for some, but uh not for me. I I absolutely love it. So there's um your daughter who's over there actually did some of these bags, right? Here, pull them out. I'm I'm crossing myself up here. What do we got? Okay, this is the uh black tea, wildberry, elderberry, valerian. Wow, that's a mouthful there. But what is I never I I never tasted this one.

SPEAKER_02 17:34

Yeah.

Dr Pompa 17:34

What does this one taste like?

SPEAKER_02 17:36

It's very uh like fruity. It's a very fruity.

Dr Pompa 17:41

Why do you call this one glow?

SPEAKER_02 17:42

Because the phenolic um content in the black tea is like so high and it just helps.

Dr Pompa 17:51

Like the high polyphenols, which is you know good for your skin, obviously.

SPEAKER_02 17:56

Yes.

Dr Pompa 17:56

Uh-huh. So okay, so there's one.

SPEAKER_02 17:58

And then we have a lymphatic. This one has guarana herba mate.

Dr Pompa 18:03

So yeah, so this one helps your lymph move, right? So there's obviously health benefits to these. Um, lemon balm, ginger, peppermint, herba mate. So yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

Yes, that one is very powerful. Like people drink it. We get so many testimonials from people thanking us for the tea because it's helped them instead of it. My wife drinks this one as well.

Dr Pompa 18:25

Yes, and Mariliano loves it. I actually I love the taste. I'm gonna open this up. Yeah, open it, open. I just want to smell it again.

SPEAKER_02 18:31

I this is it's very minty, very refreshing.

Tongue Scraping And Lymph Health

Dr Pompa 18:35

Yeah. Oh man, yeah, so that's really good. That's awesome. I'm probably gonna eat this one too. All right, cool. Um, what you what you want to say anything more about this one?

SPEAKER_02 18:51

Well, this one, this one is is great to have in the morning. So, what I like to do is I wake up, uh, tongue scrape, have a cup of she tongue scrapes. Tongue scraping. It's very tongue scrape because it helps, first of all, it cleans your tongue because when we sleep, there's a lot of toxins that bad guys that come on our tongue. We want to get rid of those. We don't want them to stay in our body, and plus it helps activate the lymphatic system. So when you tong scrape, it's like uh you're activating your lymphatic system.

Dr Pompa 19:25

Yeah, you're also activating certain bacteria that produce something called nitric oxide, which causes vasodilation, which causes oxygen to go into your tissues where it's not getting and uh actually lowers people's blood pressure. There was a study, um, it's worth saying um this. I did a post on it. People drinking not drinking, I'm sorry, utilizing mouthwash.

SPEAKER_02 19:48

Yeah.

Dr Pompa 19:49

Oh they did a study on young men, like in their 20s. It raised when they were doing it every seven days in a row, rinsing with mouthwash.

SPEAKER_01 19:59

Yeah.

Dr Pompa 20:00

That kills 99.9% of the bacteria, um, their blood pressure went up on average 21.

SPEAKER_02 20:05

I saw that post. Yeah, actually. Yeah, exactly.

Dr Pompa 20:07

And the reason why is because it it does the opposite. Number one, you're not producing nitric cars, it's killing those bacteria. So it it has the exact opposite effect, and people's blood pressure went up.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

I think that's very important for people to know. I mean, instead of instead of using mouthwash, tongue scrape. So instead of killing all of these amazing cells, yeah, help activate them and help activate your nitric oxide and um do yourself a favor and just to keep you save the mouthwash for the toilet seat. That's what it's good for. It's good to clean your toilet seat. That's it's really good. It's a very good toilet seat cleaner.

Dr Pompa 20:43

I wish I remembered that from my video.

unknown 20:45

Yeah.

Dr Pompa 20:45

So they start great. You take uh tongue scrape, and this is the one that you like to start with in the morning. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 20:51

It's great because it it uh the herbs are targeted for the lymphatic system, especially guarana. It it it really acts on the on the lymphatic system.

Dr Pompa 21:00

Oh, yeah, it's first ingredient. I missed it.

SPEAKER_02 21:02

Yes. Um, yeah, it really helps you start the day good and it gives you a good amount of energy because there is uh organic matcha in there. There is the uh guarana, there's the yarba mate, which is really also a very that my wife loves that because it just gives you that natural energy.

Dr Pompa 21:20

So is there um so talk to the people who want to start the day with caffeine and and start the day without? Is this one caffeine-free?

SPEAKER_02 21:28

This one has caffeine, this one is caffeine-free.

Dr Pompa 21:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 21:31

So I have another lymphatic targeted.

Dr Pompa 21:33

Yeah, so this one has a little caffeine because of the aromate.

SPEAKER_02 21:36

And then this is olive leaf based with chimeric and um does not have any caffeine.

Dr Pompa 21:43

Yeah, but you have PM written on that one.

SPEAKER_02 21:45

Yes, PM, just so we can let people know that it's for the evening. But people who prefer to have the non caffeinated ones they can do it in the morning.

Dr Pompa 21:52

Yes, they can do it in the morning. How many flavors do you actually have?

SPEAKER_02 21:55

You should open that one. Have you?

Dr Pompa 21:56

No, I have that one.

SPEAKER_02 21:57

It's mango, it's really good.

Dr Pompa 21:59

Oh, wait, no, I've had. This, I've had this because my wife had it out, but I'm just throwing things down at this point. Um, yeah, I smell it already. Oh my gosh, is that good? Antoinette, which is your favorite? The AM and the black tea. Oh, this one right here, the lymph. Which one's the black? Oh, this one, the black? Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 22:22

You know, when I created those teas, my first thing was I wanted it to taste so good. Yeah. That people did not need to add sugar, creamers, anything. I just wanted it to be so easy to use with nothing. Like you don't need to carry anything other than the tea with you.

Dr Pompa 22:41

And that you've accomplished that. I admittedly, uh, when I have my raw cream, I add a little bit of raw cream because I like the smoothness of it.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

Especially with the matcha latte.

Dr Pompa 22:52

Oh, that's good. The matcha latte is do we have I don't have a matcha latte with me. The matcha latte is really good.

Kid Friendly Strips And Electrolytes

SPEAKER_02 22:57

But since we were talking about my daughter, and then I pulled out this beautiful pouch that she she developed this when she was seven years old, and she insists that mommy, I was seven when I developed this, so because she's nine now and she's a big girl. So this doesn't align with her aesthetics today, but I still love it. Um so she drew the pouch, and I'm gonna open this for you guys to see. No, no, it is made from butterfly pea, which is a naturally blue flower. Oh, wow. And this is the strip, and we make in-house um some um glitter, like we call it um Oh man, yeah. We call it Pixie Dust. We put it in there. The beauty of this tea is it makes it fun for kids to to have tea, and it's also a good replacement for the juice box because we know juice boxes are full of sugar, and that's what's giving your child ADHD, right? So when you give your child a juice box, you're giving them a shot of ADHD. Yeah.

Dr Pompa 24:06

So please Well, yeah, most of them have color and the sugar.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

Yes, and it's it's just water. There's no fiber, there's nothing to offset that sugar. It's going straight to the brain.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

Right.

SPEAKER_02 24:17

Um, so this is created as an alternative to the juice box because you can put it in your kids' reusable water bottle and they could take it, take it with it.

Dr Pompa 24:26

So with the I've never made it cold. Um, so to do that, you start with hot to dissolve it.

SPEAKER_02 24:32

Well, you can it dissolves in cold water. Okay. It just takes a little bit longer.

Dr Pompa 24:35

Okay, so you put it in there and then you make it shake it up.

SPEAKER_02 24:40

Well, this the strip is very dry, and it was created like that intentionally, so it's very stable. It's highly hydrophilic, so it absorbs water.

Dr Pompa 24:49

Water, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:49

So you want to put it in water for a little bit, let it absorb the water, and you just you shake it in your water bottle and it it really dissolves pretty fast if you are patient with it.

Dr Pompa 24:58

So you make what other one? I mean, can they all be done cold?

SPEAKER_02 25:00

Everything, yeah. Everything can be done cold and hot.

Dr Pompa 25:03

And which ones are that that you said the one kids love that one. Is there another one? Where is it? Oh, here it is.

SPEAKER_02 25:09

So then we have also, I don't have all of them with me today, but yeah, we have this one. It's made with cordyceps mushrooms, and it's like a pineapple coconut.

Dr Pompa 25:19

You can open this one, you're gonna like it. And cordyceps mushrooms have been I feel badly opening all these.

SPEAKER_02 25:25

Oh wow, they're gonna be consumed. Um, cordyceps mushrooms have been extensively studied to improve stamina during uh physical exercise.

Dr Pompa 25:32

The moment I open them, like I it's like I smell it. It smells so good.

SPEAKER_02 25:37

People use it also for mocktails and cocktails. Oh my gosh.

Dr Pompa 25:40

So I smell mostly pineapple, but the cordyceps and coconut, yeah. I smell the coconut, yeah. But the cordyceps, to your point, are extremely healthy. And again, mushrooms are one of those things that you don't want to overly process because you lose the benefit.

SPEAKER_02 25:56

Yes.

Dr Pompa 25:56

So you're processing with this, you're keeping that protected.

SPEAKER_02 26:00

Yes.

Dr Pompa 26:01

I have to taste this one too. I'm like, I can't help it. Honestly, if you smell these, you'd be doing exactly what I'm doing. You know, it's they taste, they smell so good, I want to eat them. I am.

SPEAKER_02 26:15

Well, we have one more.

Dr Pompa 26:17

Oh, yeah. I have uh this one's stuck on the room. Well, guess what? I'm gonna be talking a little funny, but that is so damn good. Okay, good, one more.

SPEAKER_02 26:29

So, I mean, I don't have all of them here, but this is one of our newer ones. You just sent me that one recently, but yes, talking about cold water uh applications. This is an electrolytes drip, and it's I'm gonna let you talk on that, but it's optimized for female health. So it's not hot because a lot of the mainstream electrolytes right now are giving women water retention. That's like the biggest complaint.

Dr Pompa 26:53

Yeah, it is true, yeah. So this one is optimized for well, because mmost of them for obvious reasons are sodium-based, and some people, you know, have no problem with that, but some people do retain water.

SPEAKER_02 27:05

So well, because I think electrolytes are optimized, the mainstream electrolytes are optimized for like heavy-duty male athletes who are sweating a lot.

Dr Pompa 27:14

Losing when you sweat, you lose a ton of sodium.

SPEAKER_02 27:17

You lose a lot of sodium, but um, these ones are have are more gentle. I want to say they have a little bit of a lot of things.

Dr Pompa 27:24

I'm gonna refrain from opening this because I'm reading it.

SPEAKER_02 27:26

Okay, all right. Open it.

Dr Pompa 27:28

She's encouraging me now.

SPEAKER_02 27:30

I want to I want your reaction for every one of them. I want everybody to know what to expect.

Dr Pompa 27:36

She's gonna be clipping these out. You're gonna see my reactions on uh Instagram or somewhere.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

I'm gonna be memeing them.

Dr Pompa 27:41

Oh, it smells amazing too.

SPEAKER_02 27:43

Right.

Dr Pompa 27:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:44

So this one is um wow. Yeah.

Dr Pompa 27:48

That's the color. I mean, obviously that's the color, but so should I taste this one, J?

SPEAKER_02 27:53

Go ahead.

Dr Pompa 27:56

Mmm. That's good. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 28:01

Yeah, it's really good in water. It's like drinking mango juice. I don't without the sugar, I want to do the calories.

Dr Pompa 28:08

I want Antoinette to make us some tea with this or some drinks. Yeah, you're gonna make that for us. But, anyways, yeah, that's so this one you can even do with um did you just say drinks like alcoholics? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Microplastics Everywhere You Forget

SPEAKER_02 28:21

People do mocktails and cocktails with these. Um, they they use them a lot. Of bartenders, I know, really like using the strips, and it's kind of like a fun thing. They put it sometimes on the on the top of the drink. Um I want to touch on something aside from the fact that these things have a lot of plastic and people are like, okay, why why do we care? Okay, okay, well, you know, we can't hide from everything, and I'm gonna I'm gonna probably see a lot of stop fear mongering comments. I really want to make it a point that I am not fear mongering, and this is not about uh scaring you guys. This is about educating and this is about giving you uh enough information to challenge the status quo because people have been drinking teabags for a long time, right? And a lot of people drink teabags. There's over a hundred billion teabags discovered off every single year globally, 60 billion from the UK alone. That's what I what I um saw, you know, recent studies. And you know, people don't question because well, everybody's doing it, we've been doing it for so long. Why do we want to change now? And I'm here to tell you that yes, we are surrounded by toxins, and yes, there is a lot we cannot control. But if we are able to control the things that we can control, such as buying something that does not have microplastics versus buying something that has microplastics, I urge you to make that change. You know, whether it's loose leaf tea, whether it's whatever you want, just I my goal with this company is to create awareness and give people an easy alternative to something that's readily available, that's very toxic, that people are like, well, what can we do? Now I'm, you know, we are able to give them the solution. But why do we care about reducing the load of microplastics and nanoplastics? And like Andrew mentioned, people who drink tea are drinking it every day, several times a day. So the bioaccumulation is high. Microplastics had been linked with a lot of health.

Dr Pompa 30:22

Meaning they accumulate over time in your body, in your tissue. So they don't go away. They they literally collect, we said the brain, the ovaries. But why is that?

SPEAKER_02 30:32

Can we talk about the health hazards of micro?

Dr Pompa 30:41

I just assume everyone understands why this is so bad, right? I mean, one of the biggest things that people probably don't realize is it creates weight loss resistance. Yes. Meaning the inability to lose weight despite changing your diet, exercise, can't lose the dimply fat, can't lose that last 10 pounds, that's weight loss resistance. And we know now the accumulation of certain toxins drives that. In these microplastics are endocrine disrupting, meaning they disrupt your hormones multiple ways, by the way.

SPEAKER_02 31:14

Causing infertility.

Dr Pompa 31:15

Yeah, exactly. So talk talk about that. Acne, yeah, because that's hormonal.

SPEAKER_02 31:20

Yes. I mean, it's it's it's uh it's a major thing. That's how that that is why we are concerned about nanoplax because they're also crossing a lot of the barriers that we don't want them to cross. But they've also been found in the cardiroid arteries, and people that had mycronoplastic particles in the plaque of the cardioid arteries were 4.5 more likely to have a cardiac event.

Dr Pompa 31:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:46

So if that doesn't scare you, I don't know what will.

Dr Pompa 31:49

Yeah, but you know what's funny about that? Um people most people think that's not going to happen to them. What scares them more is that last 10 pounds. I'm not, I'm not kidding. It's like I I've learned that. It's like, but yet one out of two people in this country die of heart attacks. And, you know, again, a 4.5 increase of heart attacks with microplastic accumulation. And again, tea drinkers are leading the way. Yeah. Right. I mean, and again, I, you know, tea's one place. It's the biggest place that we're getting these microplastics, but so many people are getting microplastics so many places.

SPEAKER_02 32:24

Oh, yeah, like canned soup.

unknown 32:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:26

People who consumed one can soup per day over the course of seven days had a thousand percent increase in urinary urinary BPA. That's one can of soup for seven days. Yeah. That's a lot. That's a huge increase. So, you know, it's like why why do we want to get, you know, unless you really have to have the canned soup, just to not have it, you know.

Dr Pompa 32:52

Yeah. Well, and then there's makeup, personal care products. You're getting people are getting microplastics, skincare. I I have to ask this question because they want me to, right? Uh, she's like, Yes.

SPEAKER_00 33:05

Yeah, go ahead.

Dr Pompa 33:06

What what do you do for your skin? She's beautiful, obviously. Um, but like, yeah, I mean, my gosh, like they they want to know what you're doing with your face. They want to know what you're doing with everything, because every woman out there is like, okay, whatever she's doing, I want to do.

SPEAKER_02 33:22

Well, I I hate to break it to you, but I have zero skincare.

Dr Pompa 33:26

I already knew the answer that because I asked her the question.

SPEAKER_02 33:29

Zero skincare. I am scared of skincare because of the amount of toxins, chemicals, and microplastics, nanoplastics that are in the skincare. And I'm talking from a science perspective because when I take a skincare uh, you know, anything, and I look at it, I'm like, whoa, how would I be putting this on my skin? Our skin is our largest organ, and we should not be lathering it with all of these toxic chemicals every single day. It's it's the worst thing you can do. So, what I do for my skin is I do the Juvex O, we know Dr. Rafael Gonzalez.

Dr Pompa 34:04

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

I do their exosomes macrone. Yeah. Uh I macroneed them in my face um, you know, every two months or three months. And um I do their stencils.

Dr Pompa 34:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:17

But I do not, I have zero skincare. And when I have to wear makeup, which I don't do that every day, uh, it's only when I have to be on camera. I put uh oils, natural oils on my skin to kind of close the barrier and protect the skin from and I, you know, so that prevents it from absorbing any chemicals. And I try to use as much as possible.

Dr Pompa 34:41

You have to use, I just told you this before the show, Jenny McCarthy's line. Yeah, I'm gonna check that out. Flawless beauty. I I tested it. I sent it to our lab. Yeah. Oh nice. Um, it's it's legit. She actually um the uh the environmental working group has 600 some pages of chemicals that shouldn't be in uh personal care products. She avoided every one of them.

SPEAKER_02 35:08

Wow.

Dr Pompa 35:08

It was quite a feat.

SPEAKER_02 35:09

Nice. Yeah.

Dr Pompa 35:10

So I mean it's it's legit.

SPEAKER_02 35:12

Okay, I'm gonna check them out.

Dr Pompa 35:13

And my wife loves it. I mean, meaning you can use like natural stuff and be like, oh gosh, I love my mascara. She loves it. Nice. So it was the first 100% healthy, you know, personal care makeup line.

SPEAKER_02 35:26

Not like everything else that's on the market.

Dr Pompa 35:28

My wife hated most of them. So she likes this one.

SPEAKER_02 35:31

And you know we're finding out now, then most of them are actually.

Dr Pompa 35:33

I'll put a link.

SPEAKER_02 35:34

Like Burt's B? Did you hear about Birth's B? Oh my goodness. So that's why I like I don't think you trust anything.

Dr Pompa 35:40

PFAs, um, Forever Chemicals. Is that what they'll yeah? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:44

I mean, I I'm gonna own it though. So I wouldn't I'm not surprised.

Dr Pompa 35:48

Right. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. You know, I'm always suspicious when a company gets bought out by a big company. One of the what things that they do right away is they change where they're getting the ingredients. So this happens in the supplement company industry, right? A supplement company gets bought out by a bigger one, and how they instantly double their profits is they have all these relationships with uh not manufacturers, but getting their ingredients from China or India. Suppliers. Suppliers, and they immediately switch all the ingredients to their suppliers. They cut the it half the cost, the cost in half, profits go up, and hey, they end up exiting the business a couple years later. And ch ching, that's how they do it.

SPEAKER_02 36:30

Yeah, but also, you know, they're benefiting the pharma company because you know, when these when we are using these toxic products, it's not only okay, we're using toxic products, it's making us sick, and it's gonna make us go and utilize other people in the pharma business. And it's a vicious circle. It's we're, you know, people who are not um educated or don't want to listen to all the information that we are giving them online and you know, we're just being very transparent with are ending up with, you know, in the hospitals and with big doctor bills and relying on medicine because it's all related. Don't think that what you put on your skin or your teacup is not actually causing your health issues. Like another thing of microplastics is disrupting the gut mucosa.

Dr Pompa 37:20

When we look, yeah, and of course, when we look at health in the last 50, 60 years, chronic disease even in children has just skyrocketed. Oh, yeah. Thyroid conditions, hormone-related conditions. I mean, come on, think about. I mean, I I always point to the people that are my age out there. We we didn't have people that kids in our class that were gluten sensitive. We didn't have kids. We might have had one that had allergies, right? I mean, you know, we didn't have people running out for peanut allergies. We didn't have mast cell activation, none of it.

SPEAKER_02 37:49

So you think it's toxins? Of course. It's toxin.

Dr Pompa 37:52

It's toxins. And by the way, it's not even just processed food. Processed food, when you go to Italy, they eat, I mean, processed food, pasta is processed food. White bread is what they eat more than that than we do. But here's the difference we have ultra-processed food. That means our ingredient list is this long for bread. Theirs, three ingredients.

SPEAKER_02 38:10

And why is there folic acid in everything? Why are they?

Dr Pompa 38:15

Yeah, yeah. It's insane. And it's a toxin to the body.

SPEAKER_02 38:18

Like 60% of the population cannot process it, correct?

Dr Pompa 38:21

Yeah, exactly. So it becomes a toxin. It becomes a study some years ago that folic acid causes cancer. It's like, well, folic acid goes. So of course, you know, everyone's running from every folic acid. Well, no, it's the synthetic folic acid that can't be processed and creates other problems.

SPEAKER_02 38:37

I mean, we are finding right now, to your point, with the kids, the myconium, which is the first poop that the baby makes. They're finding microplastics in there.

Dr Pompa 38:48

Of course. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:49

And that is setting, you know, that's how your life health is getting dictated by that's you know, it's it's the biggest you know better. Yeah. But it is the biggest telltale of how you know the health of the child and what what they have going on inside their body. So I am a big um advocate on avoiding as much toxins as possible, especially microplastics. Yeah, we can we also, you know, microplastics aren't only in tea, they're found in workout clothes that people are doing hot bodies and hot yoga in.

Dr Pompa 39:23

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 39:24

The polyester workout clothes, uh, tampons and pads. Oh, yeah. Um, those are like the same with the toilet paper. They are next to our sensitive areas.

Dr Pompa 39:32

Yeah, and again, pay attention to what she's saying because those are the areas, the places where you absorb the most, and it's the most dangerous, and it bioaccumulates in those tissues. Yes. And in the most hormone distribution.

SPEAKER_02 39:42

Polyester sports bras that are, you know, next to our glands. Yeah. That's where you're absorbing a lot. So um, you know, um there are there are, you know, we can probably list the things that we can change in our daily life that would help everybody, like polyester sheets. I know yesterday I was talking to Isaac, he told me just changed all the shots.

Dr Pompa 40:05

No, no, no, exactly. Yeah, and we we have uh we have like um either natural bamboo, that's what my my kids have. We have these natural wood fiber sheets. I mean, that's a big deal.

SPEAKER_02 40:15

That is a big deal. Um socks. I am very, very adamant about cotton socks.

Dr Pompa 40:22

Yep, yep, absolutely. These are cotton socks, yeah. Our feet are I use cotton nads underwear. Yes, because again, it's those areas, right? I'm not, you know, I mean, I'm gonna get different blends of things on me, but in my areas, we'll just say in my areas, um uh socks and underwear are big, big deal. And to your point, the workout clothes.

SPEAKER_02 40:42

Um I'm not a woman, but they wear the the tight super tight with underwear or just very little underwear, maybe and go in hot environments like the hot pilates and hot yoga, and you know, all that plastic is melting into your skin and into your sensitive areas. So there are right now organic cotton uh companies that are which which which ones?

Dr Pompa 41:06

I know there aren't any like I can really recommend, but um Um the one has a goal, but 2026, here we are. Um that they were going 100% natural away from all the um microplastics. What I'm trying to think begins with an S. Um it's a workout they have stated uh it begins with an S.

SPEAKER_02 41:29

I've been just experimenting. I bought some from Made the Label, I bought some from I don't know, they they have every time I I find uh organic cotton Stio?

Dr Pompa 41:39

S-T-I-O? Stio? Steel?

SPEAKER_02 41:41

I don't know.

Dr Pompa 41:42

Oh gosh. I don't know them. I dislike CI. Sometimes I hate it, sometimes I love it. Anyway, when it comes to pulling out a name like that, I never Steel? Come on. I mean this is where I wish it was live. Like, come and someone help me out there. Right now we have all these people like shouting at the end.

SPEAKER_02 41:55

I don't know.

Dr Pompa 41:56

I see anyway. Yeah, I don't know the uh anyways, they I they had a c they had a goal of being 2026, you know, literally getting all of that out of their clothing. And I I say that too because we vote with our dollars. If people start shifting there, then again the other companies, Athletica, et cetera, will come that way as well.

SPEAKER_02 42:16

Yeah, it's very important. Like it's it's very important to vote with your dollar, to put your money where you want to see the most progress because your every dollar has a lot of power to make or break a company. And I know a few of these companies, the organic uh leisure companies that came out, they end up closing because they didn't have the funding, they didn't have the backing and did not have enough business. So I encourage people to really, you know, before buying something that you need, do a little research and try to find more smaller businesses, ethical practices, natural um material used. It's it's always helpful.

Dr Pompa 42:58

Josephine is like me, folks. I mean, she is true blue. Like when we go to restaurants and you know, she is like as dowden as me. She you live your life very congruent. Yeah, exactly. You you live your life congruent. You know, it's like, and I I respect that about you. I respect the fact she's one heck of an entrepreneur as well. So better than better than I am. Her and my son are have more conversations about business than I'm gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 43:24

I had a lot of good conversations with Isaac. Yeah, he's he's a great entrepreneur.

Dr Pompa 43:28

Yeah, yeah. My kids are like so, I'm so glad because I'm not. I just do what I do.

SPEAKER_02 43:33

What do you mean you're not? You're you inspire all of us.

Dr Pompa 43:36

I just do what I do. I uh I love the health stuff because I was sick, and you know, my greatest fear in life, admittedly, is going back. I mean, honestly, even when I was sick, I always said, you know, I never feared dying. I I feared living my life like that. So of course now here I am on the other side of it, and my greatest fear is going back.

SPEAKER_00 43:57

Yeah.

Dr Pompa 43:58

And so therefore, I feel Little blessed because it gives me great discipline. Like I think if I never got sick, I would live life very differently. I would live life on the edge more, meaning like I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm bulletproof. And maybe I'd be like walking around fatigued and brain fog like half the world, not associating with what I'm putting in my body. I I maybe I'd be that person. I don't know. Hope not.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

Yeah, I mean, I I had, you know, I lost my father and at a very young age. And that scared me because he, you know, I lost him to cancer. And I was like, okay, what what causes that? And that set me off on a health journey. Since I was 15, I've been on this health journey and it it became it became an integral part of my life. Like I don't do it because oh, I want to be healthy. I do it because this is the only way I do things. And you know, it takes how many days to create a habit?

Dr Pompa 44:51

21?

SPEAKER_02 44:51

21 days. So I want to challenge everybody watching us today to go 21 days mindfully consuming, which means dump your toxic tea bag, don't wear your polyester workout clothes, switch over to you know, everything we talked about.

Dr Pompa 45:10

Don't drink out of plastic water bottles.

SPEAKER_02 45:13

Uh, switch your sheets.

Dr Pompa 45:15

Research what makeup you're doing. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 45:18

We're gonna put all the links for all that amazing uh products that we're recommending. Just go for 21 days with the good habits. And there's another thing we did not really touch on, which is nutrition, which is a very important thing. Like, don't start your day with toast. Don't start your day with cereal. Start your day with a high protein.

Dr Pompa 45:38

Remember, we flipped the pyramid.

SPEAKER_02 45:39

Yes. So start your day with steak and eggs like I do. I eat bison and eggs for for breakfast.

Dr Pompa 45:46

Yeah, I want I want to hear your day. Do you do intermittent fast at all? Do you not eat some days? Yeah, some mornings I eat, some mornings I don't.

Fasting And Cold For Women

SPEAKER_02 45:53

By the way, that's another thing. I think I was in one of your talks and I asked that question because we were talking about intermittent fasting. And uh intermittent fasting does not apply to women the same way it applies to men because men have 24-hour cycles, we have 30-day cycles. So I'm gonna let you speak on that because you are the expert in fasting. But please, uh, and I get this question a lot from women. They're like, How do you fast? I can't fast. I'm like, you're probably fasting the wrong time of the month. So can you speak a little bit on that?

Dr Pompa 46:22

Yeah, I mean, it's the worst time to fast is the week before your cycle. That's the time to feast. And by the way, that's why women get cravings. That's why they crave a lot of foods. That's why they're like, oh, I break my diet the week. No, it's like your body was craving, you know, more food. It's even certain carbohydrates.

SPEAKER_02 46:42

You need nourishment.

Dr Pompa 46:43

That's right. Even so, if you're going to eat higher healthy carbs, it's you know, load up before your cycle. A time to fast is during a cycle. You're in a natural fast. And, you know, and you're cleaning. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And so, you know, it is. But to your point, though, we we tend to blanket statements. Women shouldn't fast. That's not true. Women just have to fast differently, right? So I always say women need more feast days, whereas if you uh go with one, maybe two meals in a small window intermittent fasting, women should do, you know, at least two feast days a week where they're not doing that. Some women that have more thyroid need three days where they feast and they eat more meals through the day. And then you can still have a couple days where you do fast. So you just can't fast like your husband, or maybe even your um your friend that is not in perimenopause or had doesn't have thyroid conditions. So you can't apply these principles across the board. The other problem I see with this topic is women ice baths. They try to do what men do, right? It's like women cannot do ice baths like a man. I mean, a 10-second cold morning shower, they'll get a better result than two minutes in a darn ice bath.

SPEAKER_02 47:58

Can you tell them what ice bath is doing to their hormones?

Dr Pompa 48:01

Yeah, I exactly, because ice bath, your body, it works. We'll talk about, we'll put quotes around that, because your body thinks it's gonna die. It upregulates something called neuropernephrine to save your life, which upregulates growth hormone, which has a de-inflammatory effect if, and that's the key word here, if you adapt to that stress. Women tend not to adapt as much, as fast, as easy as a man from a cold bath. So if you don't adapt, the exact opposite happens. You drive an inflammatory effect. Be clear. Everyone comes out of the cold bath feeling amazing because your endorphins are up. Okay, so be clear. You're like, it's amazing. But then how did you sleep that night? How did you feel the next day, which you oftentimes don't associate with the ice bath is really the question. And women, you know, absolutely less, way less is better. Less cold, less time, and you'll get a very good result.

SPEAKER_02 48:56

Yeah. Yeah, especially with hormones. Like there's a lot of things amongst my friends right now where they are having difficulty getting pregnant, but they are all um working out fasted with a a a load of caffeine. So they they'll have a cup of coffee or matcha in the morning, and they go and work out fasted, and they are having issues getting pregnant.

Dr Pompa 49:18

So yeah. Again, because that that affects their hormones greatly. Most women, um, when I was, you know, helping uh, you know, people I was taking on clients personally, uh, I always say you had to feed them up, you know, you had to get them eating more, right? And you know, typically men, you would you can move them right into fasting and understanding more fasting, women feed them up. You know, you actually have to literally get them to eat more protein, get them to eat more healthy fats. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 49:48

I have zero low-fat things in my in my house, by the way. It's full fat, raw milk. Ghee is my best friend. I'll have a spoon of ghee before I eat.

Dr Pompa 49:58

Well, talk about fat for your skin, because again, your cell membranes are made of fat in your skin is cells. I mean, you know, and these membranes really make up. I always say this membrane that's on us is a representation of your cell membranes, but fat is what they're made of.

SPEAKER_02 50:15

Yes. And also, I wanted to touch, I don't have it with me, but sleep, talking about skin health and looking good, sleep is so important.

Dr Pompa 50:23

Oh, by the way, you have a sleep one. Yes, I do have a sleep. The melatonin one, I have it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 50:27

Yes. Uh what do you think about that one? Yeah, I think that's great.

Dr Pompa 50:32

I I promoted it a few times on my Instagram because I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_02 50:34

So, like, can we tell people why do we want the sleep tea in a tea format, not in a pill or gummy form?

Dr Pompa 50:43

Because it's actually more it assimilates so much better.

SPEAKER_02 50:46

It's in the individual glands, right?

Dr Pompa 50:48

Exactly, because right here in the mouth. And that's what you want, that full assimilation right next to your blood-brain barrier, and you're going to get a much faster result.

SPEAKER_02 50:56

And there is no like fillers or gelatin or sugar that is usually in the gummies or the pills for your body to deal with. So your body is just taking in the chamomile and melatonin and just going into rest. Yeah, the chamomile's in there.

Dr Pompa 51:12

So, you know, I didn't even say this. I apologize. Um, Elixir, where do they order it? How do they? I mean, I know it's in some stores. I think you're going to be in um Target. Target.

SPEAKER_02 51:21

We are launching in Target in May. We're very excited for that. So uh we're launching in not all the stores, like a couple hundred stores, but we're hoping to get to all the stores by the end of 2026.

Dr Pompa 51:34

So that's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 51:35

Everybody should go pick up their Elixir from Target.

Dr Pompa 51:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:37

But for now, they can order it from Olixir.com, O-L-Y-X-I-R.

Dr Pompa 51:43

Yeah, I tried to hold it up in the beginning, but there it is right there. So olixir.com.

SPEAKER_02 51:47

But we are coming to a Target store near you.

Dr Pompa 51:50

Yeah, exactly. But they can go on there. And what's the sleep one called? Because we just mentioned sleep. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:55

It's uh it's actually going to be at Target. It's the sleep, it's camomel with melatonin. It's um, we actually are going to have a great format for Target. It's gonna be 10 strips, so it's gonna be good for people.

Dr Pompa 52:07

And here, how many strips are in there? Like 25, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 52:10

So that people, that way people can try it, you know, and it's gonna be uh, you know, a more uh accessible process.

Dr Pompa 52:15

Pretty smart because she gets you addicted to and by the way, you should be, I mean, I mm I hope people didn't tune out because they're like, I'm not a tea drinker, but you you should be uh a tea drinker for the health of these, not because you drink tea in the morning. You know, this is a great way to get your antioxidants because the delivery system is so good, you know, and it's so absorbable. And again, it's you're keeping it alive in these through your process, which is brilliant.

SPEAKER_02 52:44

So, anyways, everything's the other thing is if you care about the earth, the planet, and global warming and the animals and everything, um, you know, Alexir is a very eco-conscious. So instead of when you are using sachets, tea bags, even with the electrolytes, you know, every single time you have sachets, so you are you are saving a lot of post-consumer waste by using the tea strips because they are just they dissolve, there's nothing to throw away. There's nothing that's gonna end up in the landfills.

Dr Pompa 53:14

Yeah, yeah, and peop people do care about that. So tell us take us through a typical day uh with you, right? In other words, you know, you kind of already said you start the day with this AM lymphatic, right? So you start the day, but okay, so you get up.

SPEAKER_02 53:27

Um I bounce, I have a trampoline next to my bed. Oh, lymphatic. She's big in the limb.

Dr Pompa 53:32

I just did a video on that. I just did an Instagram. I didn't. Yeah, it was just yesterday, I swear. Oh, very cool.

SPEAKER_02 53:37

Okay, I didn't we've been running around.

Dr Pompa 53:39

So you start with that. Hold on, I gotta pull it up just.

SPEAKER_02 53:45

And um, you know, talking about bioaccumulation, so when toxins accumulate in the body, you want to get rid of them because there's a lot of toxins we cannot control. Oh, that's so cool. I didn't see that. How did I miss that?

Dr Pompa 53:56

I'm going up and down. It was just always on your account. I'm liking everything. I just missed it. I'm going up and down. I'm explaining that. Yeah. Anyway, got it. She starts her day like that.

SPEAKER_02 54:06

I start my day like this, and um, I just do a few minutes however much I can, and then um I tonks scrape.

Dr Pompa 54:14

So what why do you start your day with uh to activate my lens? Yeah. To activate my lens. Why is that so important in the morning? Why not later in the day? Because you're choosing to do it first thing in the morning.

SPEAKER_02 54:23

Because when you're sleeping, your body is rejuvenating, renewing, uh, it's detoxing. So you have all of these things that are sitting in your body and you were sleeping, you're not moving. So it's very important then when you wake up in the morning to activate everything. You're right. Help the body just move.

Dr Pompa 54:40

I'm gonna start doing that. You know what I'm doing? Mine's downstairs. I'm gonna move it up because if it's not next to your bed, I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna put it over there. I'll just put it up against the wall because you don't even need a big one.

SPEAKER_02 54:50

No, I have a small one. I got some Amazon.

Dr Pompa 54:53

Um, like Okay, mine, I'm gonna get a smaller one because mine's this big. I don't need all that. Yeah, I even said it I'll send you the link. I want a link. So I want the smaller one because that way I'll I can throw it under the bed or something. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 55:06

And this one folds like you can actually fold it and just put it under the bed.

Dr Pompa 55:09

So literally, you get up. I'm going the back, get up, go to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_02 55:13

I get up. No, I get up, I go straight on the trampoline.

Dr Pompa 55:16

No.

unknown 55:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:17

Because it just wakes you up too. And it it helps your whole body just kind of.

Dr Pompa 55:22

If I start doing this, I'm gonna have to pee even worse, right?

SPEAKER_02 55:24

But yeah, right.

Dr Pompa 55:25

And by the way, I I don't ever have to get up in the middle of the night. I shouldn't say ever, if I chug like a big thing of water before, but I don't get up to go to the bathroom. And my friends who are younger than me go, really, you can make it through a night without peeing. I don't pee.

SPEAKER_02 55:38

Because you're up to the lymphatic system.

Dr Pompa 55:40

Yeah, exactly. It's true. That's why I brought the point up. My lymphatic system is working very well and my prostate, but but that is really smart to do it first thing in the morning. And how long do you do it for?

SPEAKER_02 55:52

A few minutes, however long I can last. Yeah, but whatever. Yeah, it doesn't matter. You don't need to stress yourself out with things.

Dr Pompa 55:57

Yeah, I mean, even just like two or three minutes doing it.

SPEAKER_02 56:00

Some days I can do it longer, some days I do it less. It depends on how I'm feeling too. You know, how well you slept, uh, what you know phase of the month I'm in, too. It really impacts. And then I go and I, you know, wash my face, brush my teeth, tongue scrape, have my cup of water, room temperature water, and have my nymphatic cleansed tea. And, you know, on the days where I'm able to fast, I will fast. I'll eat like around 5 p.m. or 6 p.m.

Dr Pompa 56:26

I have I do that a couple times a week where I just eat one meal.

SPEAKER_02 56:30

Yeah. And then sometimes where I need to eat right away. So I will go and make get a spoon of ghee, some good um bison, some eggs, and I'll make eggs with bison and I'll just eat them. No bread. I I don't like carbs. And I think everybody loves carbs. I just trained myself not to like carbs. And I found that when you have enough protein in your body, you don't have carb craving.

Dr Pompa 56:58

And especially when you start a day with a lot of girls really lack quality protein. Yeah. I'm I'm not fear. I mean, sometimes I'm in ketosis and sometimes I'm like, you know, so low carb. Other times I'm I purposely getting healthier carbs, right? So I kind of vary my diet. Um, so I'm not afraid of carbs, but I find women absolutely, especially perimenopause, they need more protein. They they're like, I get protein when you really analyze it. I mean, they're like 50, 60 grams a day. You know, it's far too little.

SPEAKER_02 57:30

You need like 40 per meal.

Dr Pompa 57:33

Yeah, exactly. I mean, get over a hundred at least, my gosh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 57:36

I mean, it also depends on your weight. I think it's like what works.

Dr Pompa 57:40

And how much you're working out, of course.

SPEAKER_02 57:42

And how much you're working out. But yeah, it's it's very important. I am not afraid of carbs. I just don't like processed carbs. I don't like the pastas, the breads. Um, although I have to say that I have a friend of mine, she makes this amazing sourdough bread, homemade.

SPEAKER_01 57:57

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 57:58

And when she brings it over, I'm caving. But you know what I do? I put so much butter on it.

Dr Pompa 58:05

Or I slather an olive oil. But I no, I eat, I eat healthy grains. I I I think it's can be healthy. Now be clear, folks. Most of what people are eating today is not healthy. You know, so it's not when you go to Italy, my gosh, they eat it, right? I mean, with everything. But it's a different bread. It's a there's not it's not sprayed with glyphosate, which opens up the gut and causes the gluten. Gluten problems are not gluten problems, they're glyphosate problems. You know, and it opens up the gut, and gluten is a protein that crosses over your body, makes antibodies to it, and that's why we have all these sensitive people.

SPEAKER_02 58:39

And also, um, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that uh the genetically modified wheat has double the molecule of uh gluten in it, which the body doesn't really change the gluten in the um hybridization process.

Dr Pompa 58:59

But again, if you don't have glyphosate, that protein shouldn't even leak across the gut. But when you have, let's say you have a piece of bread and grains are they they it's called desiccation. They spray this chemical on it to shrivel it up to harvest it more. So every wheat and grain in that you're eating out or buying in a store that's not 100% organic has this chemical on it. The moment you eat it, it interacts with something called um zonulin. And what happens is it opens up your barrier, protective barrier. It happens in everybody. Healthier people close it up quicker, but unhealthy people, it's left open. And then gluten crosses over, and then your body eventually starts making antibodies against it, you see. So, you know, it is the chemical that's driving the problem. So if you ate, even if you ate the gluten that was hybridized in a different gluten, if you don't have, if you're not eating it with the chemical, it's not crossing over.

SPEAKER_02 59:58

Yeah, but you wouldn't have a problem. Microplastics had been also linked to IBS.

Dr Pompa 1:00:02

Yeah, well, of course. They again they accumulate in the gut lining and they drive inflammation, which eventually, you know, everyone's trying to take probiotics, diet change, wondering why their gut won't fix. You've accumulated microplastics, really the nanoplastics.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:18

Which is actually brings us to something that let's talk about how to get rid of microplastics and nanoplastics in the body.

Dr Pompa 1:00:25

Well, you know, my my whole detox process does. We've actually tested it. And um, and it's a cellular issue, right? These plastics are accumulating in the cells, cell membranes, your mitochondria. And so my process of upregulating these cellular pathways um does, you know, get rid of it. I I mean, per meal, you can take some binders, things like that, but it's what accumulated in your tissue that's a little more complicated. It's not like you can just sit in a sauna and get the rid of these things out of your tissues. You have to get your cells literally moving things from the cells again. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:00

Yeah. We're gonna link that too, because it's very important to get rid of the microplastics, the nanoplastics from your body. And I know they've done all the study on control groups and they tested the microplastics at the beginning. Before and after, yeah. Before and after, they they took the whole program, which you know it's uh it's been proven on humans, not on rats or mice. It's actually people that have tried it, which is uh, you know, uh where you want your stuff to be. You want them to be tested on people.

Dr Pompa 1:01:29

And um you know, uh do the the easy swaps, like get rid of your plastic cutting board, get rid of all your that's a big one because you're you're big l putting in uh your food a lot of big pieces of um plastic, and then you're through digestion ends up to be microplastics and even worse than nanoplastics.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:49

And I know you also talked about the dishwasher detergent once, you know, there's these plastic pods. You know what you don't understand is that you're putting this in your dishwasher, it's getting heated up, it's exploding, right? It's going on your plates, yeah, on your utensils, in your cups, and you're eating it, and you're eating it. So you know, don't throw it away, okay? Finish it, but please rinse your plates, your stuff before we eat them. And the next time you want to purchase uh a dishwasher or laundry detergent, uh, I know Dr. Pompey has a few brands that you like to recommend.

Dr Pompa 1:02:22

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I I we buy the e cover free and clear. Yeah. Um, I I don't know, it just my wife likes it. And, you know, as long as I don't smell anything on my clothes, I'm good. You know, because I hate fragrance. Fragrance, even in some of the healthier ones, they use fragrance.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:41

Yeah.

Dr Pompa 1:02:41

And I'm stunned. You know, these companies are saying they're healthy, they're putting better ingredients, and then they put fragrance. Fragrance is protected by intellectual property laws that they don't have to tell you what chemicals are in it. And these are typically banned substances, substances that are dis hormone disruptive to the point of causing cancer, and it's in fragrance. When you wash your clothes and then you're wearing these, those chemicals are absorbed right.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:06

Your skin. Absolutely. Your skin is your largest organ. Your skin is your largest organ. People don't understand, they don't treat the skin as an organ.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:14

But you know what I do? I have organic castis soap. I get it like liquid.

Dr Pompa 1:03:20

What is it?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:20

Organic castis soap.

Dr Pompa 1:03:22

S-T.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:22

Castill. Castille. Cast S-C-A-S-T-I-L-L-E.

Dr Pompa 1:03:28

Okay, okay, yeah. L L E.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:30

It's like the natural soap. I get that, and I get baking soda. And I get my own essential oils. Oh, yeah. And I make my own wow.

Dr Pompa 1:03:39

Yeah, that's some fantastic. See, and that's probably cheaper.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:42

It's cheaper and it's healthier, and at least you know what what you're using. And you know, my mom has a big issue with that. She's like, you don't have normal dishwasher stuff. I'm like, no, I I make it myself. And she I understand it's it's a lot for people to comprehend, but it's so easy, it's so simple, and it's so much better for you. Yeah. And it's so much more economical.

Dr Pompa 1:04:05

So and by the way, the the regular stuff also has a tendency to create more mold in your washing machine. Oh. Yeah. So it it literally feeds these bacteria and molds, and people, uh, especially front loaders, they they get the mold, um, which I've done videos on. Um, but you know, I the reason I'm always asked on podcasts when I'm being interviewed, what is what is like the number one thing we can do in our home to change for the health of our family? I always say change your water. My gosh, don't drink city wine. Yes. Yeah. Top top of the chair.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:38

That's another microplastic source, actually.

Dr Pompa 1:04:39

Oh gosh, yeah, so much. It's ridiculous. So, I mean, gosh. An atrazine? Get an R Yeah, it's a chemical they're spraying on the food that makes male frogs female.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:48

That's in our water. That's in our tap water.

Dr Pompa 1:04:50

It is. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:51

So what do you recommend to do?

Dr Pompa 1:04:53

So, I mean, on an RO unit, you know, just a simple RO unit. I mean, I have a I have O4 water, which is the best water in the world. I mean, and I have their unit that's seven different filtrations, and it puts 14 um parts per million of oxygen in the water. It's amazing O4A. But um RO unit for 400 bucks works too, just to at least get the um the all the hormones out of the water, the plastics uh out of the water.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:21

And then you can add the electrolytes after or just the finish of the water.

Dr Pompa 1:05:24

That's true, because uh water has a it's an acid y taste. I it doesn't taste very good because it's it's acid. So if you add some minerals back in, it improves the taste massive.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:34

And the absorption in the in the body, right? Yeah, because you need the minerals. The hydration. Yeah.

Dr Pompa 1:05:38

Yeah, you don't need to get your minerals from water. That's a misnomer. You get your minerals from food. But that said, the minerals actually help the absorption, um, the hydration, and definitely the taste.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:49

I mean, what do you think about these people walking around with these big giant jugs of water? That's when I care about the minerals in the water. You know, they're carrying these big things that you can literally do an arm workout with.

Dr Pompa 1:05:58

You know, my view on that. Is different than most people in our space, by the way. I believe you drink when you're thirsty. Uh in intelligence knows that. Like I am not one of these people that walk around chugging water. I I know that it's bad for you. I know that it stresses your kidneys more. I know that it causes electrolytes imbalances. Yes. These are I these aren't my I came to these opinions by reading, you know, and studying the topic. So force water down all day, hydrating, hydrating, you're not even hydrating. No. It's going right through you.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:27

Well, it's causing more harm than good.

Dr Pompa 1:06:29

Yeah, exactly. It's it's creating electrolyte imbalances. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:32

Yeah. That's why add electrolytes in your water.

Seed Oils Fish Oil And Better Fats

Dr Pompa 1:06:35

I do videos on that. I get haters all the time, but I don't care. I do videos because I hate fish oil. I get haters too.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:42

Because fish oil is oxidized.

Dr Pompa 1:06:44

I mean it you're right. Fish oil oxidized.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:49

It's worse.

Dr Pompa 1:06:50

Here's why it's worse. This is a simple lesson everyone can understand. Double bonds determine how fragile a fat is. So think about um butter, uh, tallow. They're saturated fats. Saturated means there's no double bonds. Okay, saturated. So no double bonds. So you can put butter on the counter and it lasts, right? Tallow, you can fry things. Ghee. Deep fry. Ghee. You can fry in those things, right? They're that stable because they're saturated, no double bonds. Okay, go up the chain a little bit. Your typical seed oil has maybe three double bonds.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:26

So seed oil, because a lot of people say, I say, what's seed oil? Seed oil is like canola oil. Um vegetable oil, even though it's on a seed, right?

Dr Pompa 1:07:33

Vegetable oil. Um, corn.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:35

Soy, corn. All of this, this is what seed oil is. Not sesame seeds, really.

Dr Pompa 1:07:40

Yeah. I mean, and again, uh if it's cold pressed. If it's cold pressed. I mean, matter here's the point, though. All of those one, you know, canola is a different story because of the way they process it, but most of those can be done like sunflower seed oil, right? That's a seed oil. But if it's cold pressed done properly, you can protect it. But that's not what you're finding in the store in your labels, right? Those are all denatured. They're all heated, they're all bad, right? So a seed oil could be good if you cold pressed it, you know. So olive oil, I skipped olive oil. That's a mono-saturated fat. That means there's one double bond. We know olive oil is can take more heat. Now, you shouldn't fry in it like a saturated fat. So it's one step a little more fragile, but way more uh way more solid stable than a seed oil, which has three double bonds, right? Guess what? Fish oil has how many double bonds? Five and six.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:37

Five and six? Oh my God.

Dr Pompa 1:08:38

Fish oil has five and six double bonds, meaning it's far more fragile.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:43

Okay, then I have to ask you the golden question. How do people get their omega-3s? Because right now people are relying on fish oil because they it's marketed, and at least what that's what I hear. That's what's being thrown out there everywhere. It's like your brain needs omegas and you get it from fish oil if you don't want to be eating fish every day.

Dr Pompa 1:09:03

Okay. So first of all, omega-3s you get in most foods. Yes. You get omega-3s and sixes in grass-fed meat, you get omega-3s and sixes in seeds, you get omega-Semased. Yeah, I mean, a lot of things, right? I mean, so food, uh natural food has uh they're parent oils. They're called parent oils, meaning um you you get them, your body, they're essential, they're parent oils, other parent, meaning other fats are made from them. So um you need to get omega-3 and omega-6. That's why it's an all food. Now, what you get from fish oil is DHA, which is a fat that your body can make. Remember, the parent oil, omega-3, omega-6, it can make the DHA. Therefore, people that weren't able to access deep water cold fish, which is most of the world, can make their own DHA. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:55

Now, people will say the precursor for DHA.

Dr Pompa 1:09:58

Yeah. So um, well, your body will literally make it from omega-3. Okay, so and then it will take it. But some people say, well, you can lack the enzyme and have trouble making it. Your body won't let you die. Okay, so and and by the way, um, there's even other natural sources like ahi flour that you can actually um you can take, which is more stable than fish oil, to get more DHA if you felt you needed it. But my argument would be eat fish. I love fish oil in fish. Okay. If you want some extra DHA, eat some natural fish. You don't need a lot. And that's the problem when people are taking fish oil, they're getting literally an overdose of that fish oil because the brain needs very little.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:48

What do you recommend?

Dr Pompa 1:10:49

Ahi flour. Um, you can buy it now in a lot of different things. So that's the get to DHA. Now, again, your body creates it. Remember, the the two essential are the omega-3, omega-6, right? And your body then can make what it needs from there. So if you're getting a lot of good quality natural seeds, like flax, amazing flax seed. You get omega-3 right there. And you know, again, your body can make what it needs. If it needs DHA, it will make it. And again, I I'm all for fish. I think it has a lot of healthy qualities, clean fish.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:17

People are also concerned with like microplastics and fish right now because, you know, as we touched on, microplastics are not only harming your body, they're harming the planet. So these teabags, by the way, are ending up in the oceans.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:30

And they're taking over a hundred years to break down and they are breaking down into tiny plastic particles that the fish is ending up eating, and it's ending up in our food system.

Dr Pompa 1:11:39

Yeah, how much microplastics are they finding in uh wild-caught fish? I wonder.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:43

I think they're like 90% of the fish that was tested had microplastics and plastic. I know that there is C-topia.

Dr Pompa 1:11:50

Is farm raised, because I hate farm raised fish. I don't think it must have even more.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:54

I will not eat farm raising.

Dr Pompa 1:11:55

Yeah, no, I I would never touch it.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:57

Chemicals and antibiotics and all that stuff. But I heard that C-topia. I don't know. I I'm not affiliated with them or anything, but I've been hearing that they do a lot of microplastic testing and all their fish is microplastic free.

Dr Pompa 1:12:10

And it's the waters that they're getting it from, meaning is it Arctic waters that have less or where you know I just you know I've I need to do some homework on that.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:22

Yeah, we need to do some homework on that. But uh they their founder, I saw like a video of their founder coming out online and talking about how their all their fish is microplastic.

Dr Pompa 1:12:30

Yeah, so you wonder how that would be.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:32

Yeah, maybe the way they're sourcing the waters.

Dr Pompa 1:12:35

Yeah, it has to be. I mean, so certain water plastic is everywhere. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:39

I mean I was just in the Bahamas and there's just plastic floating in the most remote parts off the waters. It's crazy.

Dr Pompa 1:12:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:48

You wouldn't think they would be.

Well, and again, so if you're taking in fish oil, you're even getting more microplastics. Because of concentration because concentration, yeah. Yeah. But anyways, the point is is five, six double bonds, it's very fragile. Yeah, you know, you have to uh my product, a membrane R2, has that ahi flour in it. Okay so we offer some uh DHA in the product, but you know, omega-6 is actually more important in so many ways than omega-3. They're both important, that's why they're essential, right? So you need omega-3 and omega-6. But the reason why these seed oils, people criticize them because of the omega-6, omega-6. And arguably, Americans have too much omega-6. We do because we're ingesting all these seed oils, right? And they're all rancid seed oils. Um, but the reason they're so bad is because omega-6 is so important in your cell membranes, and these rancid omega-6 replace them, and we have inflamed membranes because of them.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:45

So and um those seed oils stay in your body for like over two years, right?

Dr Pompa 1:13:51

Oh, yeah. I mean, like the body can't really get rid of them easily. Yes, that two years. I used to say four months. It's like then this newer study was like, yeah, two years. So literally these rancid oils come in to your membranes and they literally replace your good omegas, and they're sitting there for two years. Which causes hormone disruption because your receptors to your hormones are in those membranes. Yeah. So it's a it's a an absolute disaster. See, I told you this conversation, she's knowledgeable, you know, because you live the life.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:23

I live the life, I do a lot of research, and um having the scientific brain, I look at everything in like such a you know, I critical way. Like, you know, I want to know what everything's made of, how are these things reacting? Why, why are are things the way they are? And so when you go down all these, like you know, if you the way I look at everything is through like a big microscope. Um, and so that leads to a lot of research and knowledge and you know where her and I are different?

Minimalism Relationships And Faith

Dr Pompa 1:14:53

It's just funny. Like, I'm like, I'm like really experimental. I like to try different things, and as long as I know it it's it's healthy, right? Not this one. No, no, she's she's more like scared, like skeptical than I am, which is probably good. I'm actually gonna pull up your uh your Instagram um because people should follow you there. Oh, my phone's acting slow. Well, just give them your Instagram, nothing's pulling up.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:20

We try to educate while staying kind of fun with on Olixter. Yeah. So you can also follow Olixter on Instagram. Yeah. Yeah. And um awesome.

Dr Pompa 1:15:58

Wait, like when people look at you, uh, especially the the women, they're gonna be like, whatever she's selling, I'm buying. That's what I would say.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:06

I urge you, I urge everybody that's like watching us right now, less is more. Minimalism, get rid of your uh toxic t bag, get rid of your skincare and eat whole protein. Don't be scared of fat. Lise, fat is your best friend. And um, yeah, just less is more and be happy. There's a lot of things we talk a lot about uh toxins and what we are eating and what we, you know, what we are wearing, but we don't talk enough about spiritual hygiene. We don't talk about about our mental state, our psychological state. And I think that's very important. Um, you know, I I hear a lot of people say, well, he smoked and he lived through 115 smoking cigarettes happily. That's just a metaphor to saying it's very important to be happy to get rid of toxic relationships. Anybody and anything that stresses you out, that causes you, your body to just feel you always listen to your intuition. If you don't feel good in somebody's presence, you know, minimize their presence in your life.

Dr Pompa 1:17:15

And I've done that. You know, I just did a podcast uh yesterday from because I'm here in in Los Angeles with uh Sean Stevenson, who uh we did a whole thing, half the interview was relationships and health. Yeah, it's how bad relationships affect your health.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:31

Women are getting cancer when they are trapped in marriages, they are toxic. I know, and it's it's a proven fact.

Dr Pompa 1:17:36

Yep, it is. No, no, he talked all about this. He's writing a book about the whole thing. Oh, that's important. He developed a cookbook based on this. So anyway.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:43

And it's very important to pray. Faith, please pray, trust God, because when you put your trust in God, a lot of his trustes from your life will disappear. Because just give him the load, take it off of your shoulders and give it to God. Because if he brought us to this world, I know and we know, we all know that he wants our ultimate best. So always believe that God, your creator, wants your ultimate best and just be happy.

Dr Pompa 1:18:10

And uh we I just stink and love your tea. So um, Elixir, yep. Change your tea, change your life, change your relationships. Maybe, maybe you're in a good. He also talked about how good relationships are actually people live the longest when they're in good relationships.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:33

Yeah, we talked about, you know, of course, like the opposite is true. You know, it's very important to be in a loving relationship and flourish.

Dr Pompa 1:18:41
