Let's get you on the podcast as a guest, as a teacher, as a sharer of ideas. So listen, you know about me. Let's talk about the guest. My guess today, Jonathan Glass. Jonathan Glass, He's got a lot going for him. Check this out. This guy is an end that's a naturopathic doctor. Who if I got that right, and correct me if I'm wrong. John He's an NAC and Naturopathic doctor, license master, acupuncturist, ir Vedic practitioner's Indian kind of medicine, energy healer, natural health educator.

1:46 He's an author the Total Life Cleanse and co creator the Total Life Cleans program. That's important. So I'm telling you this environment, I'll get you. There's so much junk out there right. It's also co founder of the Healing Essence Centermultipractitionerhuing Center in West Concord, Massachusetts. He served on the faculty of the Dharma Institute of Yoga.

Finally, he's also studied at the Worsley Institute for Classical Occupuncture in the College of Traditional Acupuncture of England. That is a lot of acupuncture education job.

2:32 There's more I could talk about. He's been doing his plumbing teen eighty seven. Oh you know, I was born in nineteen ninety six. That's not true, but it's true a little bit. I graduated college around there. But yeah, he's been doing this a long time. He's learned a lot, He's worked with a lot of people, and he is here to share his knowledge. So let's do this. Jonathan, welcome. Where are you coming from here? Where are you coming at us from? I'm in Where am I located? Yeah? Yeah, I mean outside of Boston, Okay, and a little town called Concord. Concord like Lexington and Concord like. That, right, Yeah, exactly, And Paul. Review end up in Concord or was it Lexington? Lexington? I believe that was the Let me see if I haven't remember, I had history like sixty eight years ago, the North Church, North Bridge. Yeah, okay, And they put the lights in the tower, and I told him the bridge company rides and rides and rides and ends up next day they kick the British.

3:27 But we did right on that bridge. We've been there many times. There we go. Baby, You got some real life American and I'm on for Philadelphia. We had all kinds of Independence War stuff down here as well. This is awesome, Okay, Jonathan, tell us about yourself. You got a long history here. So how this whole idea of being a natural healer, acupuncturist, it's cleansing expert, author. What precipitated this whole? I don't know what got you excited about this? Why did you decided to make it your life work? You know when I was I was an auth leat I played soccer and hockey some baseball, but I grew up in Scotland also, so soccer was my first sport. And I had chronic allergies and bronchitis probably these days would have been diagnosed with asthma as a kid. And although I was very athletic, you know, I always struggled with my lungs throughout my life. And I was in college and I went to the local health food store and this guy told me read a book and gave me some supplements that Russian athletes used to increase oxygen.

4:33 And the next day I was breathing better than I ever did. And I changed my diet, removed some of the junk out of my diet, and for me at the time, dairy was a big thing. It created a lot of fun for me. I was didn't know I was allergic to it, and I was It's a mucus food, mucus food exactly, and it just my coach used to say, eata extra cheese pizza was hamburger on it the night before a game, and I would feel horrible the next day have the game to get my body going. So when I changed my diet, you know, within a week or two, I started feeling better, and it was like a light one off, like, oh my gosh, what I put in my body really matters. I really didn't know that.

5:21 And one thing led to another. I took a yoga class in college, and I found out that I was more agile playing soccer. I was more centered, more focused. So it sort of sports got me into it, and it just led me to one step after another. I started seeing a chiropractor in college, and I noticed that I could juggle the soccer ball better, you know, after getting an adjustment, I had better balance. So I just I realized that all these things were meaningful and they were helpful, and I just got really interested in it, and you know, one thing led to another, But it was mostly because I saw the transformation of my own health.

6:01 Let me ask you a question. Do you think it was the addition of positive supplements like this whatever these Russian people, or do you think it was the subtraction of negative things or both? Well, I think it was really both. And the thing about the supplement is that I noticed something even before I changed my diet. So that was that light went on for me, where oh, okay, so there's actually some natural things that I can do that can be helpful. And then when I changed my diet everything, it took things to a whole other level. So it was really the combination of things, you know.

6:44 So let's say, let me ask you this you mentioned to me, and we had a kind of pre show interview, right, what are the three essential things you believe a person should consider for optimal well being? Yeah, so the one thing is to get junk out of the diet. So sort of like so higher higher quality food. Higher quality. You know, I even tell people, if you're gonna eat chocolate, eat dark chocolate, organic dark chocolate. You don't have to get the stuff you know, with all kinds of chemicals and. Preservatives and. Get the fancy, get the get the high antioxidant. Stuff, exactly, get the real get the real stuff.

7:26 What do they call it? A fair trade chocolate from the. Exactly, So remove the toxins, figure out what what diet works best for you. Definitely focusing on breathing and some form of exercise, break a sweat regularly, and I am a big proponent of breathing, and some kind of in all your vein. Is called internal exercise. You know, there's external exercise with's lifting weights exercise, but internal exercise meaning doing something with mind with the breath, meditation, uh, you know, the Physiologically, it is balancing mentally, emotionally, it's balancing and harmonizing.

8:10 And I think it just helps us be more creative, more in the zone, more perceptive, and can help anybody in any field. So those three things I would. Say, well, I think it's just common sense yes, that you know, we're living breathing things, right, and we need nutrients we need because we're not plants. We can't survive, we don't do photosynthesis, or we're not autotrophes. I remember that word from biology, right, So we need to take things in from the outside world. In the simplest one I guess of all is air and water. But the trouble is we can't always control necessarily the quality, right, Like if you live in an area where it's a lot of pollution, where the water's got a lot of chlorine and other nasty chemicals in it. So I think it can be a little bit challenging. But I think what you're talking about as the conscious choice. Like if I'm hungry, do I go eat a I don't want to slam anything, but you know a fast food Hamburger US, you know a salad right right? These are conscious choices.

9:12 So I got to ask you this, Why is this so important? Like if somebody's you know, and I don't care if I get a heart attack, I'm thirty eight, that's my business. But it's counter to your mission, right. Your Your mission, I assume is you want as many people as you can impact positively live in healthier, happier, more productive lives, right subsolutely, How do you, if you can even how do you I don't want to use the word convinced. How do you show somebody that you're goin enough to make huge changes, to have huge improvements? Right? You know, it's true, you don't really need to make I mean, some people, if they're you know, if they're eating a lot of juncture junctuit of fast food, that might be a big change for them. But most, for the most part, people don't have to say sacrifice on taste, on flavor and pleasure and enjoyment. It's not required to do that. It's not about being austere or repressing things, you know, repressing needs and desires.

10:15 But it really comes down to quality. And I've seen it with myself and I've seen it with you know, clients over the last what twenty five thirty years, that just eating healthier, eating cleaner, based on common sense, increases the quality of our energy, increases mental clarity, tends to support more of a balanced state of mind, and supports creativity. I mean, the mind is just clear. We just function better, you know, And to me, quality of life is just about as important as longevity. That person doesn't care about living to be past thirty five, Hey, that's there. You know, I'm not going to convince them if they really don't care. But you know, if I can convince that person, look, if you could, you know, enjoy your life and be healthy and energetic and successful, would you want that? Most people would say yes. You know, So these things are are really meaningful. And the times that we're living in, you know, we're exposed to more toxins than practically ever in history. There's over one hundred thousand chemicals in the environment, only twenty thousand ever tested for human safety, and we're exposed like crazy, like never before.

11:34 So those you know, those tools of the trade. You can you know, get a good water filter if you can, and makes it. Like you said, make some better choices. It's not about perfection, but there's always a choice, you know, we always have. We can make better choices, and they're meaningful. I got to say this because you know, I'm Jonathan. Are doing this on a zoom so I can see him. I mean, you're not You're not a teenager, right, And I don't want to you know, I want to make sure I say this in a sort of a complimentary way. You know, you and I probably similar generation. I mean, he's a good looking guy. He looks healthy, looks happy, he looks high energetic. I look at Sometimes people might say me, he's look like like two feet away from the grave. I hate to say it, but yes, strung. I mean it's genetics a little bit. There's nature nurture.

12:16 You have to get deep into that. I got to ask you, so you've you've been let's call this your health journey thirty five forty years. Where do you think you'd be if you hadn't had this epiphany? If that's too strong a word, correct me. When you were in college, Like what if you never went into a health story, you never talked to him, work or whatever, and you just kept doing what you're doing, you probably might have been sickly or you know, challenged for the last thirty five forty years, right, absolutely. I mean I was on antibiotics every year or twice a year until I was eighteen years old. And uh, I mean literally, And I mean I used to imagine when I was that young, even when I was a teenager, I had a hard time imagining myself living past thirty or four years old the way I would feeling. Really, you know, for me, it really made a huge difference.

13:03 And you just figured out was just your lot in life. I kind of feared it was my lot in life. I didn't know you just feeling so you know, huh yeah, yeah, So it made a huge difference. Now you did this kind of intuitively, right, Like you you knew I'm not saying medically, we're not. We're not. There's no medical diagnosis here, but you knew intuitively that you weren't breathing as well as you thought you could. Right. You didn't have to go to a pulmonologist or something to have that observation. So how did how do you for somebody? Maybe let me rephrase this question. We live in a society where everybody wants a quick fix, right.

13:47 You know, you don't feel good to go take a pill, you don't feel good to get medicine, you don't feel good to get a shot, you get an operation, whatever, So how does the natural path? I mean, we haven't even talked about acupunctures. You've got like seventy eight degrees in acupuncture, so maybe let's bring that into this well, because acupuncture is basically opening of channels so your body can heal itself more quickly. At least that's my sort of layman way to describe it. So how does that fit in? How does this fit in against like relative to sort of the mindset that that our country, you know, ever since this whole Rockefeller mid school thing, and we can yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that far if you want, because I've actually read a lot about that. But yes, it's true, it's true.

14:29 I mean it's funny because we we've grown you know, we grew up with it, so we think that's the norm. Yes, But up until the forties, you know, really uh, you know, homeopathy was very prominent in America. Homeioptia fancy work for natural. Yeah, those a form of medicine called homeopity, but also natural herbs. Nature apathy was was a part of modern medicine of. The pharmaceutical companies in seventeen hundred. So like right, so. The pharmaceuticals and so we got I mean, I I don't really joke about it, but it's sort of that we all got hoodwinked, and the believing that taking a pill, you know, it's all you had to do. And uh, you know, not not really caring about what you put in your body, like as if it doesn't matter. And I think, you know, people are starting to wake up to that more and become more aware of it. But you know, the quality of life, all I mean, all it takes is a little bit of thoughtfulness. It doesn't I mean, you don't have to become like me and become obsessed with it sometimes in my life. But you know, you go to somebody who can give some guidance and.

15:36 You're kind of joking about the accession piece. But don't you do you believe being in a health field that you do have to leave by example, like it probably wouldn't been cool. You know, you're you're a holistic healer, you're an acupuncturist, you're a meditation practitioner, an advocate, and you go to work on somebody and you go outside and you're having like a cheese steak and a cigarette. Right, Probably isn't set anything past example? Right? Not the death bad and there's anything wrong with it. It's just you know, a little incongruous. All right, let me ask you a question. So let's talk about So I'm thinking, you know what I got migraines. I've always got this brain fog. I'm gonna go seek out. Hell, So, hey, I heard about this guy, Jonathan Glass. I reach out. What what would a consultation look like? Maybe? What would our initial so I say, patient practitioner interaction look like.

16:31 Yeah, So generally have people fill out a fairly extensive you know, health history and take an intake okay, and you know, an an iron Veda questionnaire which tells me a little bit more about their body type. And then I look it over and then I come in and we sit down on it basically ask him the same question. You should take about an hour to go over there. So it's it's not superficial. No, it's not superficial at all. And you know, and I want to know what, you know, what they're there for, what they're hoping to achieve, and what are the obstacles? You know. The model that I use is what are the stressors? You know, we call it the six stressors. What are the stressors on this person that's interfering with their well being? And then we do what we can to remove those stressors and then add in the good stuff, add in some proactive dietary lifestyle.

17:24 Practices that enhance it. So you remove the bad stuff add in some good stuff, you know, in these days, honestly, I feel like people if they make a ten to twenty percent change in your life, it can be significant. It doesn't have to be. I mean, for some people it is radical. But for some people it's just like, Okay, you know, I really my body really does not do well with dairy. It doesn't really doesn't do well with. My little pizza. I can't pizza. You know, I can't live without pizza. So you know what, there's some really great ways, like I made a great pesto gluten free pesto pizza. I'm just I know, I know you do. I know you do, but I'm just saying, there's so many ways that you can, you know, have your needs Matt feel satisfied and feel a thousand times better without having to make It's not like you're you know.

18:17 The point is, it's not like it's not like we only have one thing only and one size has to fit all. Hey, my guest. Jonathan Glass from Historic Concord, Massachusetts, health practitioner, acupuncturist, all around health related guy. It's doctor Stephen Green to success. Doctor. This is to make the Great Experience podcast. We're talking about your physical health today because and I'm going to go to this direct in, Jonathan, do you believe there's a loaded question. A person who's taking care of theirselves, is feeding their body the right nutrients, not putting a minimum amount of bad stuff in there, is more likely to be able to reach their full potential?

18:57 I absolutely do, absolutely? How about that? For QUI else could the answer to that? Right? So let let's talk about that, right, because I work with a lot of entrepreneurs who tell me I'm just tired all the time. They attributed to not sleeping well, but it's sometimes they don't sleep well because all data are putting a bunch of junk in their body, and the only time their body can detox is when they're sleeping, because they're constantly putting more junk in all day. Right, So let's let's go this direction a little bit. If somebody wants the end result is always a kind of a product of what you did along the way to get there. Right, So you know, you gave me a long bio. There was some things inc and to but let me I'm gonna explore one thing, entrepreneur, this is this is something you gave me. Okayrs are some of the most creative, driven and high energy people out there. Okay, but but they can vary in intensity at a cost.

19:52 Over time. Subtle imbalances in diet, sleep, and stress can show up as fatigue, brainpop, incamation, or burnout. It is so important for octrenewers to realign with daily practices that restore clarity, energy, and longevity so they cannot only achieve success but fully enjoy it. What's the point of making twenty million dollars like you and I have if we're gonna, you know, not be able to take advantage right, tapping into your natural wisdom for lasting well being. So to talk about that, I don't know if you wrote that or you know, it's I did write it. Yeah, beautiful, Okay, So it's important, right, So explore this a little bit, tell me. You know, I think it's obvious what the basic theme is. But how does somebody do this?

20:37 Yeah? I mean it's it's really quite simple. You know. If we're again, if we're a little hoodwinked and we believe that we can put all kinds of crap in our body and feel good. You know, the body is an energy producing machine. It's like a light bulb, and if you're putting in twenty watts in a one hundred watty light bulb, you know you're not going to get you're not going to get very much light. So you know, we need to clear out the gunk or clear out the crap. Really that interferes with the body's ability to create energy. And you know, people need energy to sleep. A lot of people don't realize that. I'm so tired, I'm so fatigued. How come I can't say the body, the mitochondri the energy producing cells of the body need energy in order to create the hormones that help us sleep. So you know, our nervous system needs restoration.

21:32 We need to take burden, you know, toxins in the environment, the chemicals and heavy metals that all interferes with you know, neurological firing, cellular detoxification, production of glueed tothion, and energy production and antioxidans. All these things that are required in a healthy engine require good air, food, and water, and a relatively balanced nervous system, or at least a nervous system that knows how to restore itself and calm down sometimes, and by doing that it's just you know, just the result is every time people feel more energy, there are a lot of their symptoms clear up, more mental clarity, more patience, less irritable, and you know that just gets better a sense of well being. So someone who is very passionate about their work, no problem, but you just think how good life could be if they're actually feeling really good in the process.

22:36 Acupuncture is it a kind of accelerant, Is it a diagnostic? Is it a. Cure? As it were, it's all of those things. In ancient Chinese medicine, the acupunctures would only charge when the patient was healthy, really because it was a health model. It was actually real healthcare model. Where people will get acupuncture to maintain well being, but if someone got injured or they got sick, the acupunctures would treat that person for free until they're better. So it's a very difference. You know, we have these things called meridians. Germans coined the phrase bioelectric energy. We literally have electricity or life energy that runs through body in very orderly intelligent ways, and they're all related to the organs related to the brain to the nervous system.

23:30 So excuse me. Acupuncture makes the body smarter, where you could say it supports the body to be as intelligent as its potential is. So it just up levels everything. So it takes a wonderful system for it, and it can also be diagnostic and it can be interrupt the disease process as well. I've been to acupuncturists a few times and the first thing they do for those of you are beIN too one is they kind of take your pulse. Right, there's like, but most people think your pulse is like on your wrist. If there's like twenty places you have pulses. You got your wrist, you got your cheek, you got your legs. There's like a bunch of them, and they all, I guess to a person who's sensitive to it and is schooled, give different information and based on pulse, whether it's weak, don't, I don't know you you're yeah, So like in a risk, this is your lung pulse, this is your spleen pulse, This is your giving me a pulse, so different spots on the wrist. Even so, what we're doing is like a podcast pulse.

24:29 Podcasts also will have to come take your pulse. Let's see if we can get this. This has nothing to do probably with what you do. I'm really just curious, four thousand years ago in China or whatever they figured this out. How did they just figure out if you're stuck a needle somewhere it would have this impact. Is it wasn't random? Was it something that just happened or no. I've thought about teaching that in acupuncture skill. There's there's a lot of theories. You know. One theory is some guy's walking, he has a stomach ache, and he's walking through the woods and he gets banged on stomach thirty six point and he feels better. I don't think it was that, you. Know, I think it was these guys were so connected. They didn't have the bismo or whatever. Back then, they didn't have, right, they were so connected to nature, you know, they were and and and the idea and acupuncture ultimately is whatever's out there is actually in here.

25:17 So all the elements. Earth, water, fire, air, ether are all out inside the body to the union young so they I think it was a very intuitive inner perceptive. It's it's sort of like if like if you're in tune with the vibrational level as you're drawn to the solution. Yeah, you're drawn to the solution. I think there's a lot of just like a lot of business people, you know, it can be seemed very logical, but at some point we'll have an insight that will really help grow their business or a personal connection that like the other day, I met somebody and I was almost going to walk away. You know, It's like, I'm not sure if I'm going to stay and talk to this person. I just sigh to stay and it turned out to be a phenomenal connection.

26:04 Could could be that was that me? The other person was you. I'm just kidding. I'm just I gotta tell you. I'm really enjoying this. I hope everybody listens getting value here because this might be for some people. I don't mean this insult to you, Jonathan a little weirdo. Normally in this podcast, we're talking about hands on actionable stuff. Let's okay, so let's do this because we're gonna we're got a little time. We're coming back up on the time. Is it possible for you, with all the things you can offer, all the things you can do, give people maybe two or three things they could do daily whatever just to help just to help themselves out, like for example, just stopping and taking five deepress or something. But are there are there a few things like that you could share it that just are simple easy. You don't need to be a super expert at it to do it.

26:54 Yeah, you know, let's start with diet. I would say if you're a per some that eats a ton of wheat, eats a ton of dairy, and a ton of sugar, pick one of those and eliminate it for a week or two. So you've got gluten, lactose, and what's the third one? And sugar? Yeah, sugar. I don't think sugar thinks is good for you, but people, you know, it's tough with sugar. It's hidden in so many things. It's hidden a lot of things. Yeah, you know, if you're eating cheese, right, you know, if you're eating wheat or bread, but sometimes sugar you think you need. Someone's got no sugar and I meanwhile, it's got like five teaspoons of sugar something. Right, you know, you put some ketchup on something, it has a lot of teaspoons of sugar and a little that's true.

27:36 Yeah, you know you have to read labels. You know. The other thing is to tip one is. Of the three kind of biggest dietary devices we can control. You're saying, I'm not putting words your mauth, but you're suggesting maybe pick one to cut back on it. Yeah, cut back on you know, modern wheat, for example, a lot of people and you don't have to be have Celiac disease. Modern wheat makes a lot of people's brains foggy. It just does. Yeah, it does. Somebody who's telling me that they went to Ireland or England or Italy, I think Italy. Over there, they're eating bread all day. They got no different, different reaction or sillyac rity.

28:16 And then they come back here and they have they're like, oh I had this awesome brand that they have a piece of prettier and they go into like some kind of anaphylaxis or something. I mean, I have patients who can't eat wheat here and they can go to Italy and eat wheat. And why is that? Because it's it's a different seed they use. And also in America we use glyphosate. It's a it's an herbicide. That choosing the genetically modified world, even though it's not wet. Modern wheat is not genetically modified. It's been it's been hybrid. It's not wheat the main nature intended wheat to be. No and like it got changed back in the seventies and it changed the protein structure of it. So and with the with the herbicides that they use, it damages the gut and causes something called leaky gout, you know, as proteins get into bloodstream and get into the brain.

29:01 And seven out of ten people of weed sensitivity affects their mood ex right, Not everybody, but a good handful of people. So like if somebody really like it's like. I gotta have my bread every day, that's a red flag right there, or I got to have my. Can you give me one more action thing people can do? Yeah, I would say, like you mentioned it, I mean doing some simple breathing techniques, you. Know, because that's an energy modifier. It's yeah. And you know there's something called alternate nostril breathing and left out right and right out left, very simple. On my website, there's a little video that balances the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Get to your website.

29:43 Healingsncenter dot com. Okay, Healing essencecenter dot com. Now, of course, be in the show notes Healing Center. Okay, one question for you, and then if there's anything we didn't get to, you want to get into. What what if somebody says, and I'm as you might heard this, Jonathan, doctor Glass, I would love teat healthier. But if I go to health food store and buy food, it costs me triple would it cost me if I go to whatever, you know, the supermarket that it's got the crappy food so to speak? There is an economics to this on a level, Yes, there is. There is economic comeback would be buying really good fruit is bettered and paying for the chemo.

30:29 It's better than that chemo. And just you know, also like if we're really honest, like what do we spend our money on in other areas? You know, like what kind of what ways do we blow our money? Also, you know we're willing, maybe we're willing to spend a bunch of money at. Starbucks or on clothes or that's something you kind of that's something you allude to too. It's like I'm get I'm not a big chocolate eater. My wife loves chocolate. But it's like I could make a choice, So maybe I spend a little bit more and I get high quality dark chocolate with all these good stuff in it, or lesser quality chocolate. That's not that's not sacrificing my enjoyment of it. I'm just get to get better quality.

31:09 You can probably do that at almost every level, you know, organic food versus or fruit or whatever versus pesticide ridden food, things like this. Can you tell us, uh, you know, I don't want to give medical advice here, but can you talk about a case study that was really a good success story for you? I'm sure you've had a lot of them. Can you just can you think of one? Somebody came out to the decks you did why and now they're whatever? Yeah, So we had a guy, uh, during our cleanse, super quite overweight, and he he had the kind of like situation where he pressed his leg and his and his skin was just indempse. He was just retaining water so much, and you know, paradoxically he wasn't drinking water, so you think he was thinking, I can't drink water because my skin is too puffy. And he was on a horrible diet. He had lung condition. He was on asthma medication, and he had said, I'll do your cleans program if I can keep eating wheat, I mean sorry, keep eating dairy. And he was a gourmet chef and he made you know, cream, you know, all kinds of creamy desserts and things like that. He was very good at it. And I told him, look, you can do the cleans. I don't care what you do, as long as you come off of dairy and start drinking some water.

32:38 And he did the cleans. By the after five weeks, he dropped a bunch away. He was off all of his medications, including his blood pressure medicine and which we don't recommend until they go to the doctor. But he didn't anti medicine. You just know, if somebody needs it. You know, I've used medicine. I've used surgery for you know, for family members of necessary. You're you're pro natural path not necessarily anti. Exactly the wrong just the wrong use of it. Yeah. You know, sometimes you know you have a little problem and you don't necessarily need a big jackhammer to take care of it. You know, sometimes there's a little bit of a contentiousness between it's usually the other way around. Usually Western medicine is anti natural, right, like intolerantly so right, and natural people are like, listen, if you've got a heart attack, you gotta do what you gotta do exactly. They sort of prefer the natural path first. So I can kind of see both sides a little bit.

33:36 Yeah, there's a there's a place for it, you know. So yeah, he was much better, felt better, and his whole trajectory. I had another guy come in. This is sort of a classic. His arms were bigger than my legs. He was about six or for you. He was a construction worker and he'd been to every doctor in Massachusetts stomach pain every single day. He actually walked in my door and he said, I don't normally come to see fruitkicks like you. And I'm like, oh, so I went through my protest. Well, he doesn't. He sees other doctors. He's never been to a natural time. I suffering so much that you know, he figured. Out the last resort. He went to see the fruit last. Resort and he had a serious dairy issue because he had stomach pain. I said, when do you have stomach pain after lunch? Would after lunch cheese sandwich. I'm like, stop eating cheese sandwich. He said, no, no, no, I've been tested.

34:26 Everything's fine. I do something called kinesiology where I put that substance in his hand. His arm got so weak, like his bioelectric energy. Even internally, just literally touching his skin. Just touching it. And he came back two weeks later and he said, you're the best freaking doctor in Massachusetts. You know, because all he had to do was change something, one little thing in his life, and his whole world changed. Garry had that much of an impact on him. They had that much impact. Every day was low quality theory, like he was eating like that, you know. I don't know. I mean each one wrapped in plastic kind of junk or was it. I don't really know, because the truth is he only came twice because he was better.

35:07 That's why he came. I never saw him again. I have no idea. That's good, right, yeah, yeah, that's the best thing. You're you're in that you're like me, you're in that weird space where your sort of whole job is to work yourself out of the. Job, exactly, exactly. Yeah, it's good when people leave sometimes you. Get something want to plug. You got books? You got, Yeah, so I. Got my Total Life cleans book, which is extremely informative. The first half of it is all information I got. I got all that. Look in the look in the show notes for the link. It's a long okay. And then we have a cleanse and eight day cleans coming up that's in September. I have them all year round, so that will be there and. Here and sort of plug into your support. Yeah, we do what we do a zoom call and so we send products and you know, it's it's a you know, it's good to reset time.

35:53 To time, you know again. So it's about it's about resetting, coming coming back to finding out what works for you, finding what does work for you, increasing quality of life. So it's it's great to do a reset once or twice a year. And you know, we do some program doing a sun in an October program my son a nature based education program in western Massachusetts.
