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

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

11.6 billion microplastics and 3.4 billion nanoplastics per cup.

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.

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

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.

Good. How are you? Thanks for having me.

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.

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.

Um the plastics come out.

The plastics come out, all the toxins come out.

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

Angel University.

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

11.6 billion microplastics and 3.4 billion nanoplastics per cup.

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.

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.

Explain explain the difference because there is a big difference.

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

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

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%.

It was like the weight of a teaspoon.

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

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.

Toxic than you ask.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Yeah.

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.

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.

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

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.

And the nanoplastics.

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.

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

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.

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

Yeah, exactly. Acrylamides?

Yes.

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

No.

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.

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.

Do you eat cereal with acrylamides in it?

No.

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

I researched the an ex for the breakfast.

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?

With the red 40 and the blue dyes.

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

It's a mess.

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.

How do we get on it?

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

We talk about acrylamides. Acrylamides, yeah, thanks.

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.

Yes. Oh, or our cereal.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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

Good. So answer that.

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.

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.

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

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

Yeah, oh, cool.

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

But so olive leaf was my first patent.

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

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.

Yeah.

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.

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.

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

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.

It's like a magic trick.

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

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.

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

You love it. That's strong.

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.

Yeah.

What does this one taste like?

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

Why do you call this one glow?

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

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

Yes.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

Yeah.

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.

Yeah.

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

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

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.

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.

I wish I remembered that from my video.

Yeah.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

Okay.

So I have another lymphatic targeted.

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

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

Yeah, but you have PM written on that one.

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.

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

You should open that one. Have you?

No, I have that one.

It's mango, it's really good.

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.

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.

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.

Especially with the matcha latte.

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.

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

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

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.

Right.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Water, yeah.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Yes.

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

Yes.

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.

Well, we have one more.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Okay, all right. Open it.

She's encouraging me now.

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

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

I'm gonna be memeing them.

Oh, it smells amazing too.

Right.

Yeah.

So this one is um wow. Yeah.

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

Go ahead.

Mmm. That's good. Mm-hmm.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Can we talk about the health hazards of micro?

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.

Causing infertility.

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

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.

Yeah.

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

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.

Oh, yeah, like canned soup.

Yeah.

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.

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.

Yeah, go ahead.

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.

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

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

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.

Oh, yeah.

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.

Yeah.

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.

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.

Wow.

It was quite a feat.

Nice. Yeah.

So I mean it's it's legit.

Okay, I'm gonna check them out.

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.

Not like everything else that's on the market.

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

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

I'll put a link.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Of course. Yeah.

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.

Yep.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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?

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

I don't know.

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.

I don't know.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Yeah.

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.

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?

21?

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.

Don't drink out of plastic water bottles.

Uh, switch your sheets.

Research what makeup you're doing. Yes.

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.

Remember, we flipped the pyramid.

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

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.

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.

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.

You need nourishment.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

It's in the individual glands, right?

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.

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.

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.

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.

So that's awesome.

Everybody should go pick up their Elixir from Target.

Yeah.

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

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

But we are coming to a Target store near you.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

No.

Yeah.

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

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

But yeah, right.

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.

Because you're up to the lymphatic system.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 need like 40 per meal.

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

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

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

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.

Oh, yeah.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah.

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.

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.

Yeah.

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

What is it?

Organic castis soap.

S-T.

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

Okay, okay, yeah. L L E.

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.

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

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.

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.

That's another microplastic source, actually.

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.

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

It is. Yeah.

So what do you recommend to do?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Well, it's causing more harm than good.

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

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

I do videos on that. I get haters all the time, but I don't care.

Because fish oil is oxidized.

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

It's worse.

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.

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?

Vegetable oil. Um, corn.

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

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?

Five and six? Oh my God.

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

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.

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, people will say the precursor for DHA.

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.

What do you recommend?

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.

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.

Yeah.

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.

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

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

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

I will not eat farm raising.

Yeah, no, I I would never touch it.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, so you wonder how that would be.

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

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

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.

Yeah.

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

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.

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?

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.

It's Josephine Musco with underscore. So that's J-O-S-E-P-H-I-N-E-M-U-S-C-O with an underscore. And I know that um if they follow you, they'll probably find me in your yeah, exactly.

Yeah. My internet's slow, but um and we also have Olixter. You have like a million followers.

I mean, you I do a little over a million. And then we have also Olixter account if you guys want to stay in the know and see. We we put a lot of educational posts. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I can't we we're stopping right there because she went right to the top on that. Don't you just love her? All right. We'll we'll we'll keep having you on because you always bring new information. 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.

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.
