  • 26-42 The REAL Reason Why Sugar Is Bad For You
    Oct 20 2026

    Episode 26-42 The REAL Reason Why Sugar Is Bad For You

    Despite the title of this episode, the truth is this:

    Sugar is NOT bad for you.

    TOO MUCH SUGAR IS!

    Yes, too much sugar is bad for you and, unfortunately, nearly every American gets too much sugar.

    And it's this excess amount of sugar that causes health issues.

    For example, obesity… and Type 2 Diabetes.

    Both of these are strongly linked to "too much sugar."

    But they're not the only conditions.

    More and more researchers believe that Alzheimer's is caused by too much sugar. In fact, the connection is so strong that Alzheimer's is often referred to as "Type 3 Diabetes."

    Then there's heart disease. Despite what you've been told, the leading cause of heart disease is NOT fat.

    Nor is it Cholesterol.

    It's Insulin Resistance… caused by too much sugar!

    On this episode I explain the physiology behind sugar and how, when your body gets too much of it, your health suffers.

    Give this episode a good listen… take notes… and then share it with a friend.

    Thanks!

  • 26-41 Is Ketosis The KEY To Healing?
    Oct 14 2026

    Episode 26-41 Is Ketosis The KEY To Healing?

    Did you know that your body has TWO fuel systems?

    Two sources of "gasoline?"

    The first fuel system runs on Glucose.

    You get Glucose from the food you eat… particularly carbohydrates.

    This is the primary fuel system of your body.

    Unfortunately, it's also the ONLY fuel system most people ever use.

    Your body's other fuel system runs on ketones.

    You get ketones from the breakdown of fat in your body.

    When your body uses ketones as fuel you're "in Ketosis."

    Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, most people don't ever allow themselves to be in Ketosis.

    That's a shame because. when you DO choose to run your body on ketones, amazing things happen.

    Specifically, your body starts to heal itself of many diseases!

    Yes, you read that right… being in ketosis promotes healing.

    On this episode I answer three questions regarding Ketosis:

    1) What is it?

    2) Why is it beneficial?

    3) How come it's not talked about more?

    I also talk about the fastest way to get your body into ketosis.

    Give this episode a good listen if you are dealing with a stubborn, chronic disease or if you simply want to maximize your health.

    And, as always, please share it with a friend.

    Thanks!

  • 26-40 Why Not Give "God's Flu Shot" A Try?
    Oct 7 2026

    Episode 26-40 Why Not Give "God's Flu Shot" A Try?

    Walk into any pharmacy this time of the year and you'll see advertisements encouraging you to get a Flu shot.

    Why? Why do pharmacies promote this?

    Is it because Flu shots actually prevent people from getting the Flu… or is it because the business of administering Flu shots is quite lucrative?

    I'll let you answer that.

    I'll also ask you another question:

    Is there something better than a Flu shot?

    Something that will do a better job at preventing you from getting the Flu?

    My answer is "Yes!" There IS something better than a Flu shot.

    Something designed by God to help you avoid getting the Flu… or any other infection.

    It's called your Immune System and on this episode I teach you what you can do to strengthen yours.

    What you can do, naturally, to make your Immune System healthy and strong so that it can keep YOU healthy and strong.

    This is a timely episode as we are just now heading into "Cold and Flu" season and you don't won't to be left defenseless.

    So, if you want to avoid getting the Flu this year, give this episode a good listen.

    And, as always, please share it with a friend.

    Thanks!
