Welcome to the Adaptive Mindset. I'm Brett Gallant, cybersecurity thoughtleader and founder of Adaptive Office Solutions. Here, we
don't just talk tech, we unlock the strategies, stories, andmindset shifts you need to stay secure, lead boldly, and
thrive in a digital world. Let's get started. Welcomeback to the Adaptive Mindset. I'm really pleased to have with
(00:25):
me today, Dr. Matt Chalmers, a chiropractor,author, and performance health expert, who's challenging how
we think about wellness. Dr. Chalmers believesthat healing doesn't start with prescriptions or calorie counting. It
starts in the mind. He teaches that stressis often sadness, guilt, or fear disguised, and
(00:47):
that if we don't face those emotions, our physical health willeventually pay the price. And Dr. Chalmers, I
just want to say, I can completely align with that, because I'vehad my own transformation journey. And
it's such a pleasure to have you on our show, becauseI know what you have to share is going to impact a lot
(01:10):
of people. So welcome to the show. Well, thanks for having me.
Yes, it's great. Yousaid something powerful in your message that
we call stress is really sadness, guilt, or fear. Can you unpack thatYeah, so I've spent, you know, I have specialty in
neurology, specialty in hormones and all sorts of stuff. And whatI started recognizing when people was their stress was
(01:37):
messing with their nervous system, their sympathetic parasympathetic nervoussystem. And I would ask, you know, a lot of the
athletes and the men and the guys I was working with, do you have any, anyanxiety? And they're like, No, I don't have anxiety. Like, I have stress,
I have lots of stress. And I started thinking about it. And I was like, well,everybody admits they have stress. And we talked about stress. And there's all this
(01:58):
research on on stress. What is it? And, you know,I've spent the last several years studying psychology
and, you know, the way our words work. Andso like that, what I found out was that Stress is really a
bundle of emotions. It's fear. Primarily, it's fear, it'sguilt, and it's sadness. And what it is, is I talk to divorced
(02:21):
men. And it's always funny, because when I talk to divorced men whohave children, sooner or later, we get to the point where they're like, I've
had this discussion so many times. And they're just, I feel likeI'm a bad dad. And that's the number
one thing that they're worried about. Not the money and the cars and all that stuff. They're worried about theirkids, primarily. And I'm like, well, here's the
(02:43):
thing. I'm like, the fact that you thatyou're worried about being a bad dad means you're not a bad dad,
a bad dad wouldn't care. And I've just telling people that I'vewatched them start crying, because they just that release was important. But
the guilt of, you know, being abad dad, the guilt of being a bad husband or wife, the guilt of,
(03:03):
you know, whatever they're carrying, is wherethe term they use for that is stress. When they're afraid of things that are going
to happen in the future, which is the definition of anxiety, fear of the future, theycall that stress. And so it's important for
me, like if you're going to attack a problem, you need to get zeroed inon it. And calling it stress, this giant ambiguous thing,
(03:26):
is easy from the I don't want to talk about emotions standpoint, butfrom a we're going to fix this, it's very damaging. And so
we've got to zero in and be like, what exactly is it we're dealing with? And thethree main things coming up. Yeah, exactly. The three that
Yeah. You must have had a tremendous impact withhelping men, particularly men and women. I
(03:50):
know myself, I've worn that hat. Iknow even in the past, I've thought, geez, was I a bad dad?
No, no. But there's lies that we tell ourselves. AndYeah, there's a lot of lies, a lot of limiting beliefs. And it's kind of fun, because when
you start unpacking it, and you're like, OK. you have ongoing guiltabout, let's use the bad dad, about being a bad dad. And so what we'll
(04:16):
do is we'll be like, okay, you've got, you know, easy scenario, you got twokids. And then we'll go through and be like, okay, well, let's, let's check these
boxes. And we go through like, what is what is kid one?
What is his love language may go through, we figure out what that what is important tothat child, what love means to that kid. And let's say
that this one is physical touch. I'm like, go wrestle with him, like putit on your calendar, like Tuesday, I'm gonna go home and wrestle with kid one. And
(04:39):
then like the other kid is say quality time, like go play video gameswith him, go watch a football game or whatever, watch an anime, just
sit with him. And there you go, you can check that box. So you're feedinginto each one of your kids deliberately, the things that
they consider love. Like if you'll put that on your calendar, youcan be like, I'm doing my dad diligence. And
(04:59):
I can kind of check that box. And that really helps to assuage thatguilt. And as you start doing that, after a period of time, you
watch the relationship with their children get better. And they come back in, and they're just like,Oh, my gosh, I feel so much better about my job about my life
about everything, because they've been able to check the box on Idon't feel guilty, because I figured out what it was that was
(05:20):
causing the guilt. And I did something proactively to assuage it.
That's gone, I don't need to worry about that. And that's been super beneficial forNice. So
what made you realize that the emotional battleSo, you know, for about 15 or so years, I
(05:45):
got really good at, you know, figuring out the biochemicals piece. You know,I could fix fibromyalgia and product fatigue and celiac and
Lyme's and COVID and like all the things. And what I kept figuringout was like, I felt like I was bringing people to a specific spot and they would just stop.
And this is like, we'd start like, good days, bad days, gooddays, bad days. And I started looking at it. And I was like, what am I missing? Like, what
(06:05):
am I missing from the holistic thing? And I was talking to a buddy ofmine, Nathan Rossi. And I was and he made some comment, I
can't remember where it was. And I was like, that's it. And I was like, the psychological andthe spiritual, like, those are the two pieces of the pillars of wellness that I'm missing is
the psychological and spiritual. And so I started really digging intothe psych piece that you know, and I started finding out that you
(06:26):
know, we talk about the schizophrenia and we talk about the narcissism, we talkabout the fringe stuff, the one to five, 7%, and
we deem that, you know, therapy worthy, but we don't talk about thestruggles everybody has throughout the day that is literally shifting
them into this panic fight flight mode, which is then chemicallyshutting off their gut and causing all sorts of other problems. And I'm like, if we don't
(06:47):
start addressing this, the psych piece, itdoesn't matter what supplements we take at the end of the day, like you can bring somebody to a specific
point metabolically, But then you've got to start working onthe mind because the mind is now taking over for all the problems. And
so that's where I started realizing it like this is the part of this thing that we reallyneed to get into. And as I started looking into it, it is one of those things that
(07:07):
especially for men, we do not have a support system forNo, it's not normalized that it's OK for us to
talk about it. I'll be completely vulnerablehere. I struggled with my own health
for a number of years. until I got to a point in October, 2023, Iwas 349 pounds. And
(07:31):
today I weigh 225. Congrats, ahundred percent. But what
helped, I put in the work, I was going to the gym, gettingthe health of fitness programs, but
there was a combination of a couple of things that I decided needed towork on myself. and put myself first. And
(07:55):
a lot of our listeners, I know many of our listeners are entrepreneurs, and alot of us are on an island, and we don't normalize
that it's okay to get help for mental health. I had therapyfor a couple of years that helped me, but I also started
to buy back my time. Andso example, a normal routine for me now is 5 a.m.
(08:18):
gym, and I went for a walk after I put the kids on the bus foran hour. I would not allow myself to do that. But
it's the best thing to do. It's helped my mental health,and my overall well being that in
having, you know, feeding my mind having conversations with people like you.
You know, it's funny how people I'mgonna, I'm gonna really blessed position, because I've gotten to,
(08:44):
through my patients and whatnot, I got, you know, I spend time with each one of them. So I get to,you know, talk until I've gotten to see the people who
had the 20 year olds who raised great kids. And so I was able to belike, what did you do? And I've seen the guys who are 70, who
have, you know, grandkids, I'm like, what did you do? Like thosethings have been really, really beneficial. It helped me figure out how
to run everything else. And I'll tell you the thing I think is oneof the most important things I've done is I have a coach. I have a mentor. I
(09:11):
have a guy that I have several different guys I work with on different aspects. Becausethe only way to get through is
to ask me like, what am I not seeing? What is the blindspot in this that I'm not seeing? And like Nathan,
for example, will be like, we'll walk through something. And it's funny because I'mlike, Oh, he just laughed. He's like, I've been walking
(09:33):
you around the circle for the past 20 minutes. So you figure it out. I'm like, oh,because once you see it, you're like, oh, my gosh. I'm like, there's so much
room over here. Like, I didn't I didn't know this was here. Like, yeah. AndHave you seen it with your coach? And I've seen this that
they said numerous times, but you weren't ready to receive theYeah, for me, I can't tell you how many times my longtime coach
(09:59):
said, Brett, you need to put on your oxygen mask. AndI knew what he meant. Yeah. I finally started to
embrace that in October, put my oxygenmask on first, putting myself first. I
think sometimes we just need to, sometimes it needs tothose messages we hear in the coaches and surrounding ourselves by
(10:24):
coaches and people that inspire us and challenge us to find those gapswhen we're ready to receive the message and see it. And you see that blind spot, like
Oh man, it's been, it's been so beneficial. Um, and youknow, it's been fun to work with a lot of other guys and a lot, I've worked
with women too, but I've worked with a lot of people and, they'llfinally see it and you can kind of watch them kind of like as they get the realization
(10:50):
or the awareness of it. And it's been fantastic. Andit's been really, really, really helpful. Like one of the things that, you
know, we walk through as I walk through people are like anger is not a primary emotion.
So if something pisses you off, remember it because it wasn'tanger. It was sadness. It was guilt. It was lonely. It
was something else. And if we can figure out what that emotion actuallywas and we can unpack it, we can go through and kind of figure out
(11:15):
where, why that, where that came from. And so there's, there'sthings your unconscious mind's trying to get to, but it can't. So
when something happens, you're like, I got real pissed off at that. And I, thatWell, and that's, um, I'm in a coaching program
with Dan Martell and he says, the world will show you where you're not free. Andthere's been a lot of things in the past that would trigger me. But
(11:41):
when you find something that triggers you and it gets you angry, likeI would still be like, that's, that's the biggest, that's the biggest red flag of, okay, Hey,
hold on, hold on. Something's going on and I haven't addressed it yet. Andso, and like, that's, you know, you can unpack a lot of those by yourself, but
(12:01):
you know, with the right tools and everything, but it's super beneficial togo and be like, all right, Hey, this thing pissed me off the other day. And I don't know why. And you
can like, you can have a coach can walk you through it. And it's, it'ssuper impactful because a lot of times. Those things that make you mad when
you like, go ahead and walk all the way through it, you realize so muchabout yourself and they can make you feel really,
really good. So, you know, it's, it's super important. Butagain, without somebody to kind of help you walk through it. And it's not like
(12:29):
the way that at least the way that we're I've taught, I've been taught to doit. And the way I do it is you just ask people questions. And you're like, what does that
actually mean? Like, walk me through it. You know, we doa lot of stuff on, you know, education on
communication. And we always start with I make everybody the firsttime people come in, I make them read the five love languages. And
it's a great book, and it has a great, it's a great starting point, because thepremise I'm trying to get across to people is, you know, we all
(12:56):
use the term love, right? Everybody knows love, love is the greatest thing in the world, youknow, so, you know, God so loved the world, he gave his one and only son, like
all those things, we hang this giant thing on love. However, you'llread the book, you'll be like, well, that one word has five very
distinct, very different definitions to different people. Sowhen I'm talking about love, and I'm thinking about this, you're thinking about this. And
(13:18):
so we're miscommunicating, even though we're using the same words. Youstart to understand that a lot of times I'll have people like they'll say something like, hold
on, just so I understand, what is your definition ofthat word? And it's funny, because guys will stop and people will stop
and go. Because they haven't ever defined it.
And then they'll define it out. And I'm like, okay, good. Now that I have anunderstanding of what that means to you, that's an important statement to
(13:42):
you. I need to know fleshed out what it means to you. Anda lot of times people haven't defined these things out. They haven't figured that out.
And when they as they do, they're like, Oh, And then so what we'll do islike a lot of times this is, you know, we'll build an avatar. We're like, okay, what
are all the things you find important to find these things out? Whatdoes this look like in action? And then how do we get you from where you are now
(14:03):
to the avatar you just built to the person that you think is where you should be?
Because a lot of people haven't, they haven't designed out the roadmap onwho they want to be or where they want to go. And this is this, this
Yeah, a lot of times we're living life on autopilot and we haven't really setYeah, yeah. So
(14:31):
you did a little bit of research on you. You've said themedical system is broken. Yes.
I don't know if broken is right. Yeah,I've been lying to us, sorry. You corrupted, lying to
us for decades. What was the breaking pointUm, so I've always been the fat guy. Um, I
(14:58):
could never lose weight. I counted the calories. I did all the things I was told todo. I couldn't figure it out. And then finally I sat down and I was like, all
right, I'm just going to sit down and read all the biochemistry. I'm going to figure outwhere these calories are, how they play in where we're going. And I
sat down and I found out that calories are not in the, they're not real. They'renot a thing. And your body doesn't
(15:18):
run on calories, it runs on a chemical called adenosine triphosphate. We make itfrom fat, we make it from sugar. And so I memorized, I learned the entire chemical
pathways. And in doing so, I figured out how to fix dementia andfibromyalgia and diabetes and all
sorts of stuff. And as I started reading the actual literature andfinding out what's actually going on, We've been lied to
about calories, about cholesterol, about testosterone, about how to build muscle,about how to lose fat, about what's going on in our minds, the vaccines, like
(15:45):
every single thing, the BMI, everything that the medical system, theNIH, the CDC, the FDA, that they've told us, 100% of
it's been a lie. And the reason that they're doing this is the only reasonI can come up with is that if we listen to what they say, we
(16:06):
I read somewhere and seen it somewhere.
I think this goes way back to, I'm going toYeah. I don't know if it has any connection with that when he was funding the
education system and then medical usingoils, oil for pharmaceutical. Is there any
(16:31):
So where that all comes from is like100 years ago, what they decided to do was they
found out that there's other, because they had all the oil, and they're like,what else can we sell oil for? What other market can we push it
into? And they found out that they could make pharmaceuticals out of it. Andso what they started doing was they started highly funding all
(16:53):
the medical schools to only teach pharmaceutical medicine,to not teach herbalism, not teach nutrition, not teach exercise, just
teach the pharmaceuticals. And then they started making it illegal toteach anything else. And so they took
over the entire thing. selling basically petroleumas the cure-all for everything. And you want to talk about snake oil
(17:15):
salesmen, that's where it came from. And then it'sSo there's a whole number of things
to unpack here. So when you went downWell, so, yeah. It took me
(17:36):
four months to figure out how to fix COVID. We were using quinine asa vasodilator to open the blood vessels back up. We were using hyperbaric oxygen to
oxygenate the tissue and we saved 50, 60, 100 people,pulled them out of hospitals to save them. And I was like, this is information that people
need to know. And so I posted it on social media andit destroyed my social media and it destroyed my
(17:57):
Google rankings and I got crushed for it andit damaged the business. Oh yeah, yeah. So what
you have to understand about what actually happened with COVID, was, and I'llwalk you through it, and again, it's one of those awarenesses things, as I
walk you through it, it becomes clear. COVIDwas created by the NIH and our government in a lab, and
(18:18):
then it got out, you wanna say released, you wanna say got out, however itgot out, it got out. And they were working on the
vaccine before it got out. Andso what ended up happening was that when it got out, people like
myself found other ways of treating it, ivermectin, butazine, abunch of different ways. And so our government forced
(18:41):
the social media companies to suppress all conversation aboutanything that was going to help with this disease. We had
doctors from other countries come and give long, beautiful lectures withresearch in numbers about how great ivermectin was helping. And
they not only shut it down, they kicked them out of the country and they didn't let anybody talkabout it. The reason people know about ivermectin is because Joe Rogan had
(19:02):
the balls to go out and actually talk about it, and they couldn't cancel him. They canceled everybodyelse, but they couldn't cancel him. Doctors lost
their licenses for treating people with Budazine, for treating peoplewith ivermectin. So what happened was that our government
just created the most powerful plague that we've seen. becausethey had a vaccine to sell for it, then they prevented
(19:25):
life-saving options from getting to market becausethey wanted everybody to be terrified enough that they would take their vaccine
so they could sell their vaccine. And if you listen to BillGates' 2008 TED Talk, what he says in the first
three minutes of that TED Talk was his goal andhis team's goal was to reduce the population of the planet by
(19:47):
15% using vaccines, verbatim what he said. Andwhat we've seen with this vaccine is that it kills people and it radically reduces fertility.
And if you check into Bill Gates, Bill Gates has been kicked out of multiple countries inAfrica for giving them vaccines that specifically reduce
the fertility rate of their women. So what hashappened is that our government created a disease. They created
(20:08):
a cure they wanted us to take. It was poison to depopulate the planet. Andthen they specifically restricted all other life-saving medications and
information from the people so they couldn't have any help. Theycouldn't have any help. That's exactly what happened. Take
that from wherever you want, but that is literally what happened. Andso that was the other turning point for me. And I was like, this is
(20:29):
like, where else does this go? Everybody's talking about the vaccines andthe Tylenol thing right now. We've known this in
the natural community. We've known it for 20 years, 25, 30 years. We'veknown that Tylenol depletes glutathione. We've known that vaccines are causing
autism. We've known that they've been creating autoimmune diseases. We've been talking aboutit. And so that takes you to the point of, you know, and
(20:50):
RFK released the memo that showed that the NIH and the CDC andthe FDA knew that the MMR vaccine increased autism
by 1135 percent, but they didn't do anything about it. Soif we all knew, and they had memos showing that they knew, the
only thing you can take from that is that they knew that theywere creating long-term chronic illnesses. And that was the point
(21:13):
of these childhood vaccines, because there's nothing more profitable than a sick child. Plus,if you're sick from the birth, they get to sell you pharmaceuticals the
entire time that you're alive. And so that's what theseto unpack here and it
(21:34):
leads to what, you know, what you discovered that thereis, you know, and it goes back a hundred years with the pharmaceuticals when
it started there and maybe it started before. ButI know like COVID has been real
for me. It's been real for everyone. I believe I'm holdingup an inhaler. I've been using this now
(21:55):
since I've had COVID a few times. Didn't have thatbefore. I don't know if that's related or if it's
just, I've always had asthma, butWell, and so COVID is not respiratory, COVID is actually vascular. And
so what happens is that when you get COVID, your blood vessels constrict. Soit decreases the blood flow and the oxygen and the nutrient flow, which allows
(22:21):
cancers and things like that to form. But the reason whywe feel it in our lungs is because our lungs are one of the most vascular places
on our body. And so when they constrict and it's hard to breathe, weuse steroids to force release all the blood vessels and
release everything. So it opens up. And so that's one of the things we see. Whatwe have seen that's really, really amazing at this and so many
(22:42):
other things like is stem cells, but stem cellsare illegal to use and talk about in this country because they work so
well. I've got, I work with, I work with veterans who couldn'twalk. They went down to CPI in
Mexico through Miracle Hope, and they got stem cellsinjections, and now they can run with their kids. It's amazing
(23:02):
the amount of healing that stem cells can offer, but we don'tallow it. The FDA came
out and said, they used to make BP-157 in compounding pharmacies.
And the FDA came out and said, you guys can't do this. It doesn't really work. Sothere's no efficacy. You guys can't use it. You can't make it. Anybody
who's used BP 157 knows it works. My nurse practitioner wason three arthritis medications, got up
(23:28):
all of them. All she uses is BP 157. So our governmentis actively restricting the things that are
It's interesting where everything's being controlled. Forpeople who are listening, they're stuck in this daily cycle of pills,
(23:54):
diets, and frustration. Where do they begin knowing all this, orSo, you know, so I try to do, I try to do some stuff online.
Um, and it's funny cause my, my buddy, Sean Hendricks, um,he was looking at my, he, we, we, he did a post. So he came down and
he was literally dying of COVID and he made a post about, hewas, he was asking for prayers. And then, um, he
(24:19):
flew down Dallas to do something else. He was asking for prayers cause he was going to die, uh,from COVID cause he couldn't breathe. His pulse oxygen is really low and his lungs are all messed up.
And, and so he was like, Hey, since I'm here, andI can't do my event, he's like, I'm gonna come see you. We gave him the quinine stuck
in the hybrid chamber. And two days later, he was talking about how great his workouts were, whichis about 48 hours to 72 hours is usually what it took me to take somebody from a hospital
(24:41):
to they're totally fine. And he was like,so he posted about it. And afterwards, he called me
and he goes, Hey, does anybody talk to you on x? I waslike, No. And he was like, He was like, the
post that I made, he was like, should have gotten really good reception. He's like, gotnothing. He's like, you're banned. He's like, you're
not just shadowed. You're toxic. He's like,you have to start your account over. I was like, all right. So
(25:08):
I started my account over, and he's like, you got to talk about this.
And so we're going to start talking about it. And one of the things I tryto do in the mornings is, you know, do about a 10, 15 minute
podcast and be like, look, here's what's going on. Right. So like depression,like, look, you know, Dr. Amen, who's a great doc. I like, I
respect Dr. Amen. He's done phenomenal work. The problem was thathe has this big hit piece out against cannabis because he's like, you know, cannabis
(25:33):
is eating all your gray matter and, you know, it's doing all these things. Well, it'sa very medical look. It is a what is wrong? And the
problem is that he walked right up to the finish line of helping all these people andthen stopped. So what he showed was that we have a decrease in
dopamine. And so what I try to do is go through and be like, let me explain toyou how we make dopamine. It's an amino acid, tyrosine, phenylalanine,
(25:54):
and here's the process for how we make dopamine. This is why exercise helps,this is why oxygen helps, this is why sleep apnea, and I go through the whole thing. So
what I try to do is just be like, look, here's the information. Take whatI, transcribe what I say, throw it in the GROK or GBT, and
it's gonna tell you I'm wrong. And the reason it's going to tell you I'm wrong isbecause AI is really great at taking the average of the information. So
(26:15):
if you ask a question, it'll say, hey, there's 10,000 peoplewho have been trained medically to talk about this subject. What are they saying?
Not what are the outliers saying? And so that's one of the first things people need toknow. But the other thing is that look it up, like physiologically, like,
does it make sense? And it's funny because I tell people like, this is what youhave to do to create dopamine. And these guys with PTSD, these guys
(26:36):
who have depression, they go, that always works forme. Like when I eat the meat and I exercise and I
get my sleep, like I always feel great. And I'm like, here's the, here's the physiological pathway.
Why? And they go, oh my gosh, like I never knewthat. And I'm like, why didn't my doctors tell me that? And I'm like, to be fair to your doctors, they
(26:57):
No, I mean, for me, it's pretty obvious justfrom my own path, getting up for a walk in nature has
been the best medicine for me. Yeah. Over120 pounds released is proof. That's a big
We have research that shows walks in the woods are moreeffective than SSRIs. SSRIs are barely
(27:20):
as good as the placebos they test against them. They just don't work. Butthey do create Suicidalization, they create dissociation.
So all these kids who are doing school shootings, almost every oneof them is on these psychiatric drugs. as
far as getting the information, the only thing I can do is,is try to give it out on social media. So I'll tell people like, you know, on X, I'm
(27:41):
the Dr. Chalmers, you know, or whatever to follow me, followsome of these guys like Brekka and these guys who are giving you information about genetics
and about here, here's how the physiology works. Here's how Goddesigned your body. And the closer we get back to the God's original design,
the healthier we will always be. And so that's just kind of where itWell, and for everyone listening, I would challenge you
(28:06):
to consider just even my owntruth and get out. At first, when
I first started on my journey, I would go for 20 minutes andstop a few times to catch my breath. Then
I would go longer. But something magical happens,especially when you get out in nature or even go around your neighborhood for 10 minutes
(28:33):
You're designed to be outside the sunlight, the air, thatif you feel ground on the earth, our electromagnetic field is the
same as the earth's. It's almost as if we were made from the earth. You get out onit and it will reset everything. And it's a beautiful thing to
That's why I talk a lot about, I have a newsletter weekly reset,just about remembering to put ourselves first. Find
(28:55):
those moments where you can reset. Ithink in the busyness of life, we forget to do that. We look for
the quick fixes. We look for theSSRIs to help us with our mood or even
the weight loss drugs to help us,like GLP and all
(29:25):
Well, it's funny, because we're actually taught that we're taught, you know, this isn't aboutyou. Don't be selfish. And what we
need to do is be like, no, no, no, this is my walk. This is mylife. I'm what I need to do is make me the best person I
can for those around me. I need to pour into me sothat I can help deal everything else. Every it's funny, because once
you start to recognize every one of the problems you have, YouYou can control your mind. And Jim Rohn said it so well. I love
(29:55):
listening to Jim Rohn. He said, a lot of people say, hey, youtake care of me. Take care
of me. But he pivots and says, I'll takecare of you. I'll take care of me so
I can take care of you. Yeah. Yeah. Andwe forget about that. I mean, we have to put our
(30:18):
Well, and there's a, there's a saying that you can't see something in somebody else. You don't seein yourself, which means you can't really love someone else until you
Oh, that's so true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So, you know, there's a lot of people out there who, you know, don't really love themselvesand they're attached to other people and they end up
(30:39):
sucking the life out of them because they're looking for something theyneed. That's in here, but they're looking out here. And they're like, give
So you can give it and receive it. Yeah.
Yeah. So. Alot of times you're focusing on resetting mindset and health. Besides
(31:05):
what we already said, what can people do to help them with resettingSo much of this is mental, but at the other side, I always
start with the metabolic. And the reason I do that, and everybody'sseen this, your metabolic and your psychological dysfunction are directly
tied together. And the way I explain this is if you've ever seen anyone who'sSo so the metabolic needs were not met. And so as
(31:34):
the metabolic system started to collapse, the psychological emotional alsocollapsed. They went from happy, fun, you know, oh, we're all
good to grouchy, bitchy, tired, moany, like we've all seenhangry. And then you feed that person and their metabolic needs come back
and all of a sudden their psychological, emotional needs come back. So ILet's kill the parasites, let's kill the yeast, let's restore the gut function
(32:00):
so that your nutrients can come in, fill you back up with the Bvitamins, the minerals, and all the chemicals that God requires
for the body to function, get that back up, and then wego forward with the mental stuff. It's kind of like, if you're familiar with Maslow's hierarchy
of needs, we don't start working on how greatour minds are and how great society can be if we're starving. And
(32:20):
so it's, okay. Let's find the water, find the food, findthe shelter, find these things. I've dealt
with all these basic needs. Now I can start looking upand dealing with the bigger needs, which is also, from
a societal standpoint, if you want to have control over people, youdestabilize the bottom so that they're worried about their money, they're
worried about their shelter, they're worried about their economy, they're worried about all these things, sothey can't look up and start working on themselves. And
(32:47):
so there is, there's a suppression there, but that's, that's the biggest thingis, you know, we bring up the metabolic function, then we sit
down and we're like, okay, let's just start walking through simple stuff. Andwe set what's called frames, which is like the five love languages books.
And we kind of go through like how this all works. And then we start walkingthrough it. And I'm like, who do you want to be? Let's figure out who you want to be. And let's
(33:09):
Yeah. Yeah. How do you help people with that?
Yeah, so a lot of times we'll sit down and I'll be like, you know,is there something that you're struggling with right now? Is there a problem that you
know of that we can start working on? And if, you know, sooner or later, peopleare like, not really, or if I work with college kids, you know, and they're,
they're, they're in this, like, vapor lock, because they were, you know, straightA students till their junior year, and then all of a sudden, they just fall apart, because they have
(33:33):
no purpose. It sits down, we're like, let's divide, let's figure out what God's purposefor you is. Like, what is the thing, like, for instance, I can sit
down, and I've done this for 15 years now, I can sitdown and read medical research and stuff like that for four hours and
be pissy, I've got to stop reading so I can go do something else. Becausethat's my thing, right? Like I got guys who like know everything there
is to know about the Dallas Cowboys, because that's their thing, or about carsor about whatever. Let's find your thing, the thing that you interest
(34:01):
you to know in. And let's try to figure out how that, you know,works into what you should be doing and who you should be. Because if we can help
find your purpose, Everything else comes tiedto your purpose, because if you're starting to do walk the path God set for you, joy
comes in, light comes in, everything positive startscoming in. So, you know, a lot of people just, it's funny because I work with 20, 30, 40 year
(34:23):
old guys and women too. I say guys as a plural, butat the end of the day, it's like, what do you want? What is you?
Who are you? What is important to you? What givesYeah. What frees you? What makes the world
disappear and you live in this thing? What is that? Andso once we kind of narrow down what those things are, that gives us kind of
(34:47):
a direction. And then we can start kind of like, OK, let's let's evaluate what'sin this direction, what it is about this that you like, like
what specifically what are the what are the characteristics for the things, the dedication, likeall the things. And then let's lean into this and start walking this road.
And it's funny because like a lot of people tell me they feel lost, youknow, men and women, you know, teenagers all the way up through
(35:09):
60, 70. Like I just feel lost. Of course youare. If you don't have a direction to set your sails to, set your
navigation to, you're always going to be lost. Because,you know, like I think it was Seneca said, you know, someone who without a
port, there is no favorable win. Because if you don't knowwhere you're going, how do you know if you're getting there? You're never going to reach your destination. Yeah,
(35:30):
yeah, yeah. And so that's kind of what that's the first thing we try todo is figure out where are we trying to go with this? Like, what is your
purpose? Why are we where? Why are you here? What's going on? Andit's one of those things where people are like, oh, it's a specific thing. Maybe.
But if it's in this direction, why don't westart looking in this direction instead of just flailing around?
(35:51):
So let's find a direction. Let's start walking. And oftentimes,it's like, hey, I thought it was over here, but it's not. It's right here. I'm like, well, it's definitely not
this way, though. So the fact that you found out that it was right there, eventhough we had to course correct a little bit, we were really
walking down the road towards the thing you were needing. Sothat's been super beneficial for a lot of people. It's just kind of helping them find
(36:12):
the direction that God gave them that's in their head somewhere they just haven't lookedWell, just a lot of them slow down because people are so, we're
on a lot of times in life, we're on autopilot andwe don't actually take the time with ourselves or
with someone like yourself to put the work into figure that out. What gives me the juice? Yeah.
(36:35):
Yeah. Well, and this is, you know, it's funny, because like, theother part of it is, there's a lot of desire, like, I see this with marriage
all the time. I talk to people in their marriages, you know, andguys, it's so funny, because if guys could just figure out what
the hell it was, or what our wives wanted, we would give it to them allthe time. We just can't figure it out. Because again, I
(36:56):
don't know if the women know exactly what it is they want. So it's hard for themAnd so like there's a lot of time for that love language, though, too, that we're
Well, and that's that's that's a great that's a great place to start. It's like, OK, likehave her take the test and then I'll sit down and be like, well, she's this
she's she's acts of service and she's quality time. AndI don't know what that means. I'm like, great. Well, let's sit down. Let's unpack it. Like,
(37:19):
here's what it means, right? Like, you know, make your wife coffee. Yeah,do the laundry. Like, you know, like, here are the little things like this
is what this is what this this term, this box means. Theseare the things and as you go through it, like, look, you
know, sometimes it might be a thing that, you know, she had on her plate thatshe didn't want to do. And so you do that thing. And it's great. And
(37:40):
I was like, oh, I did this thing over here. I mowed the lawn. I'm like, buddy, thatwasn't on her list of things she had to do. So she might appreciate that
it got done, but that wasn't a thing for her. Andso they go, Oh, now I get it. And you're like, yeah. And so like
little things like that, again, you know, just, just this little,like, this is what this means. These are ways to kind of tweak into
this. And then like, here's how we record things. If this happens, puta check mark next to it and be like, do more of that. If this happens, do
(38:08):
less of that. And it's funny because like, you know, you'dthink that that would just be, well, that's obvious. And it is. But
again, it's a blind spot. That's why you get somebody to be like,look, I've done this 57 times. Trust me, this
has always worked out. This is kind of how we're going to play this game. Andit's so beneficial to be able to work with people who've been doing this type of
(38:29):
thing for a long time, because they've already done the research and done the work and figured out thetrial and error and stuff. And they can just give you the meat. You don't have to go through
right on and you get to your destination a lot faster blissinstead of trying to do it on your own. Yeah, yeah.
And I can, I have lived that. SoI've heard
(38:57):
a few times you brought up faith. Yeah. Youtalked about the power that made the body, the power
that helps heal the body. Where does that belief come from? DoAbsolutely. So the quote I use, and I've
stolen it from chiropractic, is the power that made the body heals the body. So there'stwo big faith-based functions in chiropractic, is the
(39:23):
power that made the body heals the body. And then healing comes fromabove, down, inside, out. And those
two have been really, really beneficial. It's funnyto me because the more I learn about the body, the
more 100% convinced I am that it was designedand it was created. It is such
(39:45):
a beautifully working machine that everything like, it's like a Rube Goldbergmachine. Like when we just talk about utilization of energy creation
of ATP. So if your insulin comes up, it shuts off glucagon. Andthen as, as the sugars come away and the insulin starts coming down, it
hits like a lever and the glucagon comes up and it starts making sugar.
And as the sugar starts coming up, the insulin starts coming up. And so itshuts off glucagon. The way that your body is designed to function,
(40:10):
you're like, there's not a chance that this just as quickly come,It's like, well, obviously, this is what's going on. But, you
know, my, my Christian faith has been really, reallybolstered by everything I've done, which is, I think, ironic.
The thing that I think has has pushed me in the right direction more than anything,was Hiawaska. So when I did my DMT, it
(40:38):
was an amazing experience. It changed me more thananything. And it was funny, because like, with
the way I explained it was, I got a message from God that I could that Icould do more, that there was more I could do like, but it wasn't one of
those, like, you're not doing enough. So the way I describe it is like, imagine you'reeating this brownie and it's the best brownie you've ever had. And you're just like, this is the
(40:59):
best brownie in the world. And then someone comes along and goes, vanilla icecream. And you're like, oh my God, it's so much better now. Like that
type of thing. It's that type of a thing. And,you know, as I've leaned back into it, I've realized that, you know, the
structure and the function and the actual path thatthe Bible presents, not the one the church presents. So there
(41:21):
are some great churches, but not all of them are pushing this. the focuson the path God has before you, you know, and it will lead
you where you need to go. Not all of us have the same path. We're all here for specific reasons.
We're all here for a different purpose. Yeah. And if we canlean into that and follow the path, it really is
the path to joy and the path to freedom and the path to, you know,Like, I love every minute of my life. I feel so bad for people
(41:51):
Yeah. So, you know, and it's been the more I learn, themore sure I am of that's that's the direction of the piece I
need to be in. And, you know, it's great because Nathan Rossi, whomy coach, is probably one of the most well, the
best biblical scholars ever known about. I love talking toNathan because he'll be like, all right, I'm gonna take three sentences out of the
(42:14):
Bible and spend 90 minutes dissecting them for you. Andit's been a giant part of who I am up till now. And the
Yeah, see, I can relate tomy own story that I connect with, with
the faith of somebody's Christian faith, butalso the faith in their mindset. And this
(42:38):
goes back, oh, 18, 19 years, whenI was working for a company, we were doing an
Alzheimer's walk, walk for memories. And I was walking with mygood friend, and I call him my friend, because I love working with him. We
were running the track and he had to stop. He said, Bretster, calledme Bretster, I'm not feeling right. And
(43:02):
we found out a week later that he had cancer. Andhe wasn't given the best of news diagnostics and all that, but he
went, I live in Canada, we're in Eastern Canada.
He went to a specialist in Toronto, buthis mindset and his faith, he's a man of deep faith, I
(43:23):
think the combination of the two is what Ibelieve helped him considerably. Number one,
what he did is he registered an email so he could stay in touch. Andhis mindset was kickingcancersassatyahoo.ca. And
a year and a half later, cancer free. That'snot true for everyone, but his mindset and his
(43:52):
And that's that we see that a lot. Like you talk to you talk to surgeons andyou're like, who survives? And a lot of
times will be like the people who have the right mindset, people who decide, youknow, and you know, that there's a lot to
that, you know, but at the same time, it's where do you, where do you drive, like,you know, where do you drive the boundaries? Where do you
drive the functional base moral function? And,you know, it's again, the more I, the more I learn, the more I read in
(44:20):
the Christian faith, the more, the more I'm drawnto it. The, the, what I, what I found kind
of discovered, nobody, I can't, I can't think of who I told me this, but,the entirety of the Christian religion is based on free will. You
have to choose to follow Christ. It is up to you. Andif I think like, okay, they say that God is a loving God. The old
(44:50):
That's the thing. He gave us free will. He's like, OK, you guys go do whateveryou want to do. Here's the path you should walk. Go do whatever
you want to do. I will allow you to do whatever it is you want to do. Andby the way, if you make bad decisions, bad things are going to happen. I'm not saying to make the right
decisions, everything's going to be peaceful. But here's the path. andthat was that it's the Christian religion is the only one that's like
(45:11):
make your decision. Come, go, ask the deep questions, don'task the deep questions, whatever it is you want to do, you're free and
open to do anything. So that's one of the reasons whyI'm like, this is the faith for me. And again, that's not talked about
very much, but when you start looking again, when you start lookingat the Bible, it's all over the place. There's such
(45:37):
I could go on about that for hours, especiallyjust with even the message of the Prodigal Son, and
I've had proof of that in my own life, thatthere's mercy. You can
come back if you're willing to come back, but free will. Youhave the choice. So,
(46:02):
Dr. Chalmers, I want to start wrapping up here. Firstof all, I want to make sure, how do people find you?
I know you have various social media. What's the best way forWell, so I'm trying to grow my x right now, because I think there's more freedom of speech
there. So it's at the Dr. Chalmers on that one. Pillarsof wellness.com and Chalmers wellness.com will also get you to
(46:27):
us. But I would I would jump on the x because I'm gonna start givingabout I'm gonna try to give us a three minute little chats about
different health things that I think will help people. So the Dr. Chalmers onI do on Instagram. And so, and then Facebook and stuff like that. I'm
(46:48):
Okay, perfect. Pleasereach out to Dr. Chalmers, man
of great wisdom. And I know you'll bebe enlightened
with conversation, just reaching out and following him. There'sno better way to say thanks to him from the
(47:11):
bottom of our heart for being on our show today. But I'dlike to do something a little fun, a little different than I've been doing regularly.
Rapid fire questions, okay? First thingthat comes to your mind, Dr. Chalmers, okay? All right, sounds good. Okay,
first question. What's one thing the medical system got totally wrong?
(47:33):
Yeah, I would, I would probably start, I would start withthe philosophy of the fact that,
you know, their, their, their look from the evolution standpoint, insteadof the creation standpoint, because if you look at the, if you look at the body as a machine that
was designed intelligently, it's easy for you to be like, oh,here's the break. Here's how we fix that we go through because
(47:53):
if you look at the Good chemistry and badchemistry, if you start looking at it from that standpoint, it's a lot easier to fix than
it is the way that they're looking at right now. So I'd say that the root functional philosophyHealth habit that's a non-negotiable for you? Working
out. I got a lift. There you go. Yeah, me too. AYou know, that one's hard. I don't know. I
(48:38):
The one that inspires me probably the most, youknow, the Bible is an easy answer. I don't want to use that
one. Probably the one that has inspired me themost was the one that I wrote. And it's not because, you
know, whatever it is, because That's when I decidedto make a stop and be like, no, I'm going to come out and I'm going to start telling
(48:58):
people that this is not the way it is. Theway I look at it, there's a turning point for me before
I wrote it and published it and afterwards where I was like, well, nowthat I've said it, I can't take it back. And so that's probably the one
that has encouraged me, like, you better be right about everything you say, because you just said a bunch ofThat's encouraged me to make sure that I do the research. So that's probably the one that,
(49:37):
Yeah, start today, start right now. Yeah. Yeah.
Mindset by far, because the reason that you show up at the gym every dayis because you've made a decision. The reason that you choose to eat the way you
do is because the decisions you've made. So yourmindset has to be first. I have to decide I'm going to do this before
(50:01):
Decision day. Yep. Yeah. Favoritedaily ritual for grounding yourself? Prayer
every morning. Right on. Okay. Oneword that defines health for you. It
would have to be holistic. You've got to do all of it. Okay. Andfinish this sentence. Healing begins when
(50:24):
you finally. Take responsibility.
Yes, ownership, isn't that true? Dr.
Chalmers, I really appreciate this conversation today.
I learned a lot. I know our listeners have. Andplease, everyone, share this episode with people. Let's
(50:45):
make an impact on people's lives, because that's what we're here to do, helpeach other. And you can help someone by sharing all
the insights and wisdom that Dr.
Chalmers has shared with us. Real pleasure to haveThank you. Thanks for tuning into the

who's ready to thrive in the digital age. Stay secure, stay
Welcome to the Adaptive Mindset. I'm Brett Gallant, cybersecurity thoughtleader and founder of Adaptive Office Solutions. Here, we
don't just talk tech, we unlock the strategies, stories, andmindset shifts you need to stay secure, lead boldly, and
thrive in a digital world. Let's get started. Welcomeback to the Adaptive Mindset. I'm really pleased to have with
(00:25):
me today, Dr. Matt Chalmers, a chiropractor,author, and performance health expert, who's challenging how
we think about wellness. Dr. Chalmers believesthat healing doesn't start with prescriptions or calorie counting. It
starts in the mind. He teaches that stressis often sadness, guilt, or fear disguised, and
(00:47):
that if we don't face those emotions, our physical health willeventually pay the price. And Dr. Chalmers, I
just want to say, I can completely align with that, because I'vehad my own transformation journey. And
it's such a pleasure to have you on our show, becauseI know what you have to share is going to impact a lot
(01:10):
of people. So welcome to the show. Well, thanks for having me.
Yes, it's great. Yousaid something powerful in your message that
we call stress is really sadness, guilt, or fear. Can you unpack thatYeah, so I've spent, you know, I have specialty in
neurology, specialty in hormones and all sorts of stuff. And whatI started recognizing when people was their stress was
(01:37):
messing with their nervous system, their sympathetic parasympathetic nervoussystem. And I would ask, you know, a lot of the
athletes and the men and the guys I was working with, do you have any, anyanxiety? And they're like, No, I don't have anxiety. Like, I have stress,
I have lots of stress. And I started thinking about it. And I was like, well,everybody admits they have stress. And we talked about stress. And there's all this
(01:58):
research on on stress. What is it? And, you know,I've spent the last several years studying psychology
and, you know, the way our words work. Andso like that, what I found out was that Stress is really a
bundle of emotions. It's fear. Primarily, it's fear, it'sguilt, and it's sadness. And what it is, is I talk to divorced
(02:21):
men. And it's always funny, because when I talk to divorced men whohave children, sooner or later, we get to the point where they're like, I've
had this discussion so many times. And they're just, I feel likeI'm a bad dad. And that's the number
one thing that they're worried about. Not the money and the cars and all that stuff. They're worried about theirkids, primarily. And I'm like, well, here's the
(02:43):
thing. I'm like, the fact that you thatyou're worried about being a bad dad means you're not a bad dad,
a bad dad wouldn't care. And I've just telling people that I'vewatched them start crying, because they just that release was important. But
the guilt of, you know, being abad dad, the guilt of being a bad husband or wife, the guilt of,
(03:03):
you know, whatever they're carrying, is wherethe term they use for that is stress. When they're afraid of things that are going
to happen in the future, which is the definition of anxiety, fear of the future, theycall that stress. And so it's important for
me, like if you're going to attack a problem, you need to get zeroed inon it. And calling it stress, this giant ambiguous thing,
(03:26):
is easy from the I don't want to talk about emotions standpoint, butfrom a we're going to fix this, it's very damaging. And so
we've got to zero in and be like, what exactly is it we're dealing with? And thethree main things coming up. Yeah, exactly. The three that
Yeah. You must have had a tremendous impact withhelping men, particularly men and women. I
(03:50):
know myself, I've worn that hat. Iknow even in the past, I've thought, geez, was I a bad dad?
No, no. But there's lies that we tell ourselves. AndYeah, there's a lot of lies, a lot of limiting beliefs. And it's kind of fun, because when
you start unpacking it, and you're like, OK. you have ongoing guiltabout, let's use the bad dad, about being a bad dad. And so what we'll
(04:16):
do is we'll be like, okay, you've got, you know, easy scenario, you got twokids. And then we'll go through and be like, okay, well, let's, let's check these
boxes. And we go through like, what is what is kid one?
What is his love language may go through, we figure out what that what is important tothat child, what love means to that kid. And let's say
that this one is physical touch. I'm like, go wrestle with him, like putit on your calendar, like Tuesday, I'm gonna go home and wrestle with kid one. And
(04:39):
then like the other kid is say quality time, like go play video gameswith him, go watch a football game or whatever, watch an anime, just
sit with him. And there you go, you can check that box. So you're feedinginto each one of your kids deliberately, the things that
they consider love. Like if you'll put that on your calendar, youcan be like, I'm doing my dad diligence. And
(04:59):
I can kind of check that box. And that really helps to assuage thatguilt. And as you start doing that, after a period of time, you
watch the relationship with their children get better. And they come back in, and they're just like,Oh, my gosh, I feel so much better about my job about my life
about everything, because they've been able to check the box on Idon't feel guilty, because I figured out what it was that was
(05:20):
causing the guilt. And I did something proactively to assuage it.
That's gone, I don't need to worry about that. And that's been super beneficial forNice. So
what made you realize that the emotional battleSo, you know, for about 15 or so years, I
(05:45):
got really good at, you know, figuring out the biochemicals piece. You know,I could fix fibromyalgia and product fatigue and celiac and
Lyme's and COVID and like all the things. And what I kept figuringout was like, I felt like I was bringing people to a specific spot and they would just stop.
And this is like, we'd start like, good days, bad days, gooddays, bad days. And I started looking at it. And I was like, what am I missing? Like, what
(06:05):
am I missing from the holistic thing? And I was talking to a buddy ofmine, Nathan Rossi. And I was and he made some comment, I
can't remember where it was. And I was like, that's it. And I was like, the psychological andthe spiritual, like, those are the two pieces of the pillars of wellness that I'm missing is
the psychological and spiritual. And so I started really digging intothe psych piece that you know, and I started finding out that you
(06:26):
know, we talk about the schizophrenia and we talk about the narcissism, we talkabout the fringe stuff, the one to five, 7%, and
we deem that, you know, therapy worthy, but we don't talk about thestruggles everybody has throughout the day that is literally shifting
them into this panic fight flight mode, which is then chemicallyshutting off their gut and causing all sorts of other problems. And I'm like, if we don't
(06:47):
start addressing this, the psych piece, itdoesn't matter what supplements we take at the end of the day, like you can bring somebody to a specific
point metabolically, But then you've got to start working onthe mind because the mind is now taking over for all the problems. And
so that's where I started realizing it like this is the part of this thing that we reallyneed to get into. And as I started looking into it, it is one of those things that
(07:07):
especially for men, we do not have a support system forNo, it's not normalized that it's OK for us to
talk about it. I'll be completely vulnerablehere. I struggled with my own health
for a number of years. until I got to a point in October, 2023, Iwas 349 pounds. And
(07:31):
today I weigh 225. Congrats, ahundred percent. But what
helped, I put in the work, I was going to the gym, gettingthe health of fitness programs, but
there was a combination of a couple of things that I decided needed towork on myself. and put myself first. And
(07:55):
a lot of our listeners, I know many of our listeners are entrepreneurs, and alot of us are on an island, and we don't normalize
that it's okay to get help for mental health. I had therapyfor a couple of years that helped me, but I also started
to buy back my time. Andso example, a normal routine for me now is 5 a.m.
(08:18):
gym, and I went for a walk after I put the kids on the bus foran hour. I would not allow myself to do that. But
it's the best thing to do. It's helped my mental health,and my overall well being that in
having, you know, feeding my mind having conversations with people like you.
You know, it's funny how people I'mgonna, I'm gonna really blessed position, because I've gotten to,
(08:44):
through my patients and whatnot, I got, you know, I spend time with each one of them. So I get to,you know, talk until I've gotten to see the people who
had the 20 year olds who raised great kids. And so I was able to belike, what did you do? And I've seen the guys who are 70, who
have, you know, grandkids, I'm like, what did you do? Like thosethings have been really, really beneficial. It helped me figure out how
to run everything else. And I'll tell you the thing I think is oneof the most important things I've done is I have a coach. I have a mentor. I
(09:11):
have a guy that I have several different guys I work with on different aspects. Becausethe only way to get through is
to ask me like, what am I not seeing? What is the blindspot in this that I'm not seeing? And like Nathan,
for example, will be like, we'll walk through something. And it's funny because I'mlike, Oh, he just laughed. He's like, I've been walking
(09:33):
you around the circle for the past 20 minutes. So you figure it out. I'm like, oh,because once you see it, you're like, oh, my gosh. I'm like, there's so much
room over here. Like, I didn't I didn't know this was here. Like, yeah. AndHave you seen it with your coach? And I've seen this that
they said numerous times, but you weren't ready to receive theYeah, for me, I can't tell you how many times my longtime coach
(09:59):
said, Brett, you need to put on your oxygen mask. AndI knew what he meant. Yeah. I finally started to
embrace that in October, put my oxygenmask on first, putting myself first. I
think sometimes we just need to, sometimes it needs tothose messages we hear in the coaches and surrounding ourselves by
(10:24):
coaches and people that inspire us and challenge us to find those gapswhen we're ready to receive the message and see it. And you see that blind spot, like
Oh man, it's been, it's been so beneficial. Um, and youknow, it's been fun to work with a lot of other guys and a lot, I've worked
with women too, but I've worked with a lot of people and, they'llfinally see it and you can kind of watch them kind of like as they get the realization
(10:50):
or the awareness of it. And it's been fantastic. Andit's been really, really, really helpful. Like one of the things that, you
know, we walk through as I walk through people are like anger is not a primary emotion.
So if something pisses you off, remember it because it wasn'tanger. It was sadness. It was guilt. It was lonely. It
was something else. And if we can figure out what that emotion actuallywas and we can unpack it, we can go through and kind of figure out
(11:15):
where, why that, where that came from. And so there's, there'sthings your unconscious mind's trying to get to, but it can't. So
when something happens, you're like, I got real pissed off at that. And I, thatWell, and that's, um, I'm in a coaching program
with Dan Martell and he says, the world will show you where you're not free. Andthere's been a lot of things in the past that would trigger me. But
(11:41):
when you find something that triggers you and it gets you angry, likeI would still be like, that's, that's the biggest, that's the biggest red flag of, okay, Hey,
hold on, hold on. Something's going on and I haven't addressed it yet. Andso, and like, that's, you know, you can unpack a lot of those by yourself, but
(12:01):
you know, with the right tools and everything, but it's super beneficial togo and be like, all right, Hey, this thing pissed me off the other day. And I don't know why. And you
can like, you can have a coach can walk you through it. And it's, it'ssuper impactful because a lot of times. Those things that make you mad when
you like, go ahead and walk all the way through it, you realize so muchabout yourself and they can make you feel really,
really good. So, you know, it's, it's super important. Butagain, without somebody to kind of help you walk through it. And it's not like
(12:29):
the way that at least the way that we're I've taught, I've been taught to doit. And the way I do it is you just ask people questions. And you're like, what does that
actually mean? Like, walk me through it. You know, we doa lot of stuff on, you know, education on
communication. And we always start with I make everybody the firsttime people come in, I make them read the five love languages. And
it's a great book, and it has a great, it's a great starting point, because thepremise I'm trying to get across to people is, you know, we all
(12:56):
use the term love, right? Everybody knows love, love is the greatest thing in the world, youknow, so, you know, God so loved the world, he gave his one and only son, like
all those things, we hang this giant thing on love. However, you'llread the book, you'll be like, well, that one word has five very
distinct, very different definitions to different people. Sowhen I'm talking about love, and I'm thinking about this, you're thinking about this. And
(13:18):
so we're miscommunicating, even though we're using the same words. Youstart to understand that a lot of times I'll have people like they'll say something like, hold
on, just so I understand, what is your definition ofthat word? And it's funny, because guys will stop and people will stop
and go. Because they haven't ever defined it.
And then they'll define it out. And I'm like, okay, good. Now that I have anunderstanding of what that means to you, that's an important statement to
(13:42):
you. I need to know fleshed out what it means to you. Anda lot of times people haven't defined these things out. They haven't figured that out.
And when they as they do, they're like, Oh, And then so what we'll do islike a lot of times this is, you know, we'll build an avatar. We're like, okay, what
are all the things you find important to find these things out? Whatdoes this look like in action? And then how do we get you from where you are now
(14:03):
to the avatar you just built to the person that you think is where you should be?
Because a lot of people haven't, they haven't designed out the roadmap onwho they want to be or where they want to go. And this is this, this
Yeah, a lot of times we're living life on autopilot and we haven't really setYeah, yeah. So
(14:31):
you did a little bit of research on you. You've said themedical system is broken. Yes.
I don't know if broken is right. Yeah,I've been lying to us, sorry. You corrupted, lying to
us for decades. What was the breaking pointUm, so I've always been the fat guy. Um, I
(14:58):
could never lose weight. I counted the calories. I did all the things I was told todo. I couldn't figure it out. And then finally I sat down and I was like, all
right, I'm just going to sit down and read all the biochemistry. I'm going to figure outwhere these calories are, how they play in where we're going. And I
sat down and I found out that calories are not in the, they're not real. They'renot a thing. And your body doesn't
(15:18):
run on calories, it runs on a chemical called adenosine triphosphate. We make itfrom fat, we make it from sugar. And so I memorized, I learned the entire chemical
pathways. And in doing so, I figured out how to fix dementia andfibromyalgia and diabetes and all
sorts of stuff. And as I started reading the actual literature andfinding out what's actually going on, We've been lied to
about calories, about cholesterol, about testosterone, about how to build muscle,about how to lose fat, about what's going on in our minds, the vaccines, like
(15:45):
every single thing, the BMI, everything that the medical system, theNIH, the CDC, the FDA, that they've told us, 100% of
it's been a lie. And the reason that they're doing this is the only reasonI can come up with is that if we listen to what they say, we
(16:06):
I read somewhere and seen it somewhere.
I think this goes way back to, I'm going toYeah. I don't know if it has any connection with that when he was funding the
education system and then medical usingoils, oil for pharmaceutical. Is there any
(16:31):
So where that all comes from is like100 years ago, what they decided to do was they
found out that there's other, because they had all the oil, and they're like,what else can we sell oil for? What other market can we push it
into? And they found out that they could make pharmaceuticals out of it. Andso what they started doing was they started highly funding all
(16:53):
the medical schools to only teach pharmaceutical medicine,to not teach herbalism, not teach nutrition, not teach exercise, just
teach the pharmaceuticals. And then they started making it illegal toteach anything else. And so they took
over the entire thing. selling basically petroleumas the cure-all for everything. And you want to talk about snake oil
(17:15):
salesmen, that's where it came from. And then it'sSo there's a whole number of things
to unpack here. So when you went downWell, so, yeah. It took me
(17:36):
four months to figure out how to fix COVID. We were using quinine asa vasodilator to open the blood vessels back up. We were using hyperbaric oxygen to
oxygenate the tissue and we saved 50, 60, 100 people,pulled them out of hospitals to save them. And I was like, this is information that people
need to know. And so I posted it on social media andit destroyed my social media and it destroyed my
(17:57):
Google rankings and I got crushed for it andit damaged the business. Oh yeah, yeah. So what
you have to understand about what actually happened with COVID, was, and I'llwalk you through it, and again, it's one of those awarenesses things, as I
walk you through it, it becomes clear. COVIDwas created by the NIH and our government in a lab, and
(18:18):
then it got out, you wanna say released, you wanna say got out, however itgot out, it got out. And they were working on the
vaccine before it got out. Andso what ended up happening was that when it got out, people like
myself found other ways of treating it, ivermectin, butazine, abunch of different ways. And so our government forced
(18:41):
the social media companies to suppress all conversation aboutanything that was going to help with this disease. We had
doctors from other countries come and give long, beautiful lectures withresearch in numbers about how great ivermectin was helping. And
they not only shut it down, they kicked them out of the country and they didn't let anybody talkabout it. The reason people know about ivermectin is because Joe Rogan had
(19:02):
the balls to go out and actually talk about it, and they couldn't cancel him. They canceled everybodyelse, but they couldn't cancel him. Doctors lost
their licenses for treating people with Budazine, for treating peoplewith ivermectin. So what happened was that our government
just created the most powerful plague that we've seen. becausethey had a vaccine to sell for it, then they prevented
(19:25):
life-saving options from getting to market becausethey wanted everybody to be terrified enough that they would take their vaccine
so they could sell their vaccine. And if you listen to BillGates' 2008 TED Talk, what he says in the first
three minutes of that TED Talk was his goal andhis team's goal was to reduce the population of the planet by
(19:47):
15% using vaccines, verbatim what he said. Andwhat we've seen with this vaccine is that it kills people and it radically reduces fertility.
And if you check into Bill Gates, Bill Gates has been kicked out of multiple countries inAfrica for giving them vaccines that specifically reduce
the fertility rate of their women. So what hashappened is that our government created a disease. They created
(20:08):
a cure they wanted us to take. It was poison to depopulate the planet. Andthen they specifically restricted all other life-saving medications and
information from the people so they couldn't have any help. Theycouldn't have any help. That's exactly what happened. Take
that from wherever you want, but that is literally what happened. Andso that was the other turning point for me. And I was like, this is
(20:29):
like, where else does this go? Everybody's talking about the vaccines andthe Tylenol thing right now. We've known this in
the natural community. We've known it for 20 years, 25, 30 years. We'veknown that Tylenol depletes glutathione. We've known that vaccines are causing
autism. We've known that they've been creating autoimmune diseases. We've been talking aboutit. And so that takes you to the point of, you know, and
(20:50):
RFK released the memo that showed that the NIH and the CDC andthe FDA knew that the MMR vaccine increased autism
by 1135 percent, but they didn't do anything about it. Soif we all knew, and they had memos showing that they knew, the
only thing you can take from that is that they knew that theywere creating long-term chronic illnesses. And that was the point
(21:13):
of these childhood vaccines, because there's nothing more profitable than a sick child. Plus,if you're sick from the birth, they get to sell you pharmaceuticals the
entire time that you're alive. And so that's what theseto unpack here and it
(21:34):
leads to what, you know, what you discovered that thereis, you know, and it goes back a hundred years with the pharmaceuticals when
it started there and maybe it started before. ButI know like COVID has been real
for me. It's been real for everyone. I believe I'm holdingup an inhaler. I've been using this now
(21:55):
since I've had COVID a few times. Didn't have thatbefore. I don't know if that's related or if it's
just, I've always had asthma, butWell, and so COVID is not respiratory, COVID is actually vascular. And
so what happens is that when you get COVID, your blood vessels constrict. Soit decreases the blood flow and the oxygen and the nutrient flow, which allows
(22:21):
cancers and things like that to form. But the reason whywe feel it in our lungs is because our lungs are one of the most vascular places
on our body. And so when they constrict and it's hard to breathe, weuse steroids to force release all the blood vessels and
release everything. So it opens up. And so that's one of the things we see. Whatwe have seen that's really, really amazing at this and so many
(22:42):
other things like is stem cells, but stem cellsare illegal to use and talk about in this country because they work so
well. I've got, I work with, I work with veterans who couldn'twalk. They went down to CPI in
Mexico through Miracle Hope, and they got stem cellsinjections, and now they can run with their kids. It's amazing
(23:02):
the amount of healing that stem cells can offer, but we don'tallow it. The FDA came
out and said, they used to make BP-157 in compounding pharmacies.
And the FDA came out and said, you guys can't do this. It doesn't really work. Sothere's no efficacy. You guys can't use it. You can't make it. Anybody
who's used BP 157 knows it works. My nurse practitioner wason three arthritis medications, got up
(23:28):
all of them. All she uses is BP 157. So our governmentis actively restricting the things that are
It's interesting where everything's being controlled. Forpeople who are listening, they're stuck in this daily cycle of pills,
(23:54):
diets, and frustration. Where do they begin knowing all this, orSo, you know, so I try to do, I try to do some stuff online.
Um, and it's funny cause my, my buddy, Sean Hendricks, um,he was looking at my, he, we, we, he did a post. So he came down and
he was literally dying of COVID and he made a post about, hewas, he was asking for prayers. And then, um, he
(24:19):
flew down Dallas to do something else. He was asking for prayers cause he was going to die, uh,from COVID cause he couldn't breathe. His pulse oxygen is really low and his lungs are all messed up.
And, and so he was like, Hey, since I'm here, andI can't do my event, he's like, I'm gonna come see you. We gave him the quinine stuck
in the hybrid chamber. And two days later, he was talking about how great his workouts were, whichis about 48 hours to 72 hours is usually what it took me to take somebody from a hospital
(24:41):
to they're totally fine. And he was like,so he posted about it. And afterwards, he called me
and he goes, Hey, does anybody talk to you on x? I waslike, No. And he was like, He was like, the
post that I made, he was like, should have gotten really good reception. He's like, gotnothing. He's like, you're banned. He's like, you're
not just shadowed. You're toxic. He's like,you have to start your account over. I was like, all right. So
(25:08):
I started my account over, and he's like, you got to talk about this.
And so we're going to start talking about it. And one of the things I tryto do in the mornings is, you know, do about a 10, 15 minute
podcast and be like, look, here's what's going on. Right. So like depression,like, look, you know, Dr. Amen, who's a great doc. I like, I
respect Dr. Amen. He's done phenomenal work. The problem was thathe has this big hit piece out against cannabis because he's like, you know, cannabis
(25:33):
is eating all your gray matter and, you know, it's doing all these things. Well, it'sa very medical look. It is a what is wrong? And the
problem is that he walked right up to the finish line of helping all these people andthen stopped. So what he showed was that we have a decrease in
dopamine. And so what I try to do is go through and be like, let me explain toyou how we make dopamine. It's an amino acid, tyrosine, phenylalanine,
(25:54):
and here's the process for how we make dopamine. This is why exercise helps,this is why oxygen helps, this is why sleep apnea, and I go through the whole thing. So
what I try to do is just be like, look, here's the information. Take whatI, transcribe what I say, throw it in the GROK or GBT, and
it's gonna tell you I'm wrong. And the reason it's going to tell you I'm wrong isbecause AI is really great at taking the average of the information. So
(26:15):
if you ask a question, it'll say, hey, there's 10,000 peoplewho have been trained medically to talk about this subject. What are they saying?
Not what are the outliers saying? And so that's one of the first things people need toknow. But the other thing is that look it up, like physiologically, like,
does it make sense? And it's funny because I tell people like, this is what youhave to do to create dopamine. And these guys with PTSD, these guys
(26:36):
who have depression, they go, that always works forme. Like when I eat the meat and I exercise and I
get my sleep, like I always feel great. And I'm like, here's the, here's the physiological pathway.
Why? And they go, oh my gosh, like I never knewthat. And I'm like, why didn't my doctors tell me that? And I'm like, to be fair to your doctors, they
(26:57):
No, I mean, for me, it's pretty obvious justfrom my own path, getting up for a walk in nature has
been the best medicine for me. Yeah. Over120 pounds released is proof. That's a big
We have research that shows walks in the woods are moreeffective than SSRIs. SSRIs are barely
(27:20):
as good as the placebos they test against them. They just don't work. Butthey do create Suicidalization, they create dissociation.
So all these kids who are doing school shootings, almost every oneof them is on these psychiatric drugs. as
far as getting the information, the only thing I can do is,is try to give it out on social media. So I'll tell people like, you know, on X, I'm
(27:41):
the Dr. Chalmers, you know, or whatever to follow me, followsome of these guys like Brekka and these guys who are giving you information about genetics
and about here, here's how the physiology works. Here's how Goddesigned your body. And the closer we get back to the God's original design,
the healthier we will always be. And so that's just kind of where itWell, and for everyone listening, I would challenge you
(28:06):
to consider just even my owntruth and get out. At first, when
I first started on my journey, I would go for 20 minutes andstop a few times to catch my breath. Then
I would go longer. But something magical happens,especially when you get out in nature or even go around your neighborhood for 10 minutes
(28:33):
You're designed to be outside the sunlight, the air, thatif you feel ground on the earth, our electromagnetic field is the
same as the earth's. It's almost as if we were made from the earth. You get out onit and it will reset everything. And it's a beautiful thing to
That's why I talk a lot about, I have a newsletter weekly reset,just about remembering to put ourselves first. Find
(28:55):
those moments where you can reset. Ithink in the busyness of life, we forget to do that. We look for
the quick fixes. We look for theSSRIs to help us with our mood or even
the weight loss drugs to help us,like GLP and all
(29:25):
Well, it's funny, because we're actually taught that we're taught, you know, this isn't aboutyou. Don't be selfish. And what we
need to do is be like, no, no, no, this is my walk. This is mylife. I'm what I need to do is make me the best person I
can for those around me. I need to pour into me sothat I can help deal everything else. Every it's funny, because once
you start to recognize every one of the problems you have, YouYou can control your mind. And Jim Rohn said it so well. I love
(29:55):
listening to Jim Rohn. He said, a lot of people say, hey, youtake care of me. Take care
of me. But he pivots and says, I'll takecare of you. I'll take care of me so
I can take care of you. Yeah. Yeah. Andwe forget about that. I mean, we have to put our
(30:18):
Well, and there's a, there's a saying that you can't see something in somebody else. You don't seein yourself, which means you can't really love someone else until you
Oh, that's so true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So, you know, there's a lot of people out there who, you know, don't really love themselvesand they're attached to other people and they end up
(30:39):
sucking the life out of them because they're looking for something theyneed. That's in here, but they're looking out here. And they're like, give
So you can give it and receive it. Yeah.
Yeah. So. Alot of times you're focusing on resetting mindset and health. Besides
(31:05):
what we already said, what can people do to help them with resettingSo much of this is mental, but at the other side, I always
start with the metabolic. And the reason I do that, and everybody'sseen this, your metabolic and your psychological dysfunction are directly
tied together. And the way I explain this is if you've ever seen anyone who'sSo so the metabolic needs were not met. And so as
(31:34):
the metabolic system started to collapse, the psychological emotional alsocollapsed. They went from happy, fun, you know, oh, we're all
good to grouchy, bitchy, tired, moany, like we've all seenhangry. And then you feed that person and their metabolic needs come back
and all of a sudden their psychological, emotional needs come back. So ILet's kill the parasites, let's kill the yeast, let's restore the gut function
(32:00):
so that your nutrients can come in, fill you back up with the Bvitamins, the minerals, and all the chemicals that God requires
for the body to function, get that back up, and then wego forward with the mental stuff. It's kind of like, if you're familiar with Maslow's hierarchy
of needs, we don't start working on how greatour minds are and how great society can be if we're starving. And
(32:20):
so it's, okay. Let's find the water, find the food, findthe shelter, find these things. I've dealt
with all these basic needs. Now I can start looking upand dealing with the bigger needs, which is also, from
a societal standpoint, if you want to have control over people, youdestabilize the bottom so that they're worried about their money, they're
worried about their shelter, they're worried about their economy, they're worried about all these things, sothey can't look up and start working on themselves. And
(32:47):
so there is, there's a suppression there, but that's, that's the biggest thingis, you know, we bring up the metabolic function, then we sit
down and we're like, okay, let's just start walking through simple stuff. Andwe set what's called frames, which is like the five love languages books.
And we kind of go through like how this all works. And then we start walkingthrough it. And I'm like, who do you want to be? Let's figure out who you want to be. And let's
(33:09):
Yeah. Yeah. How do you help people with that?
Yeah, so a lot of times we'll sit down and I'll be like, you know,is there something that you're struggling with right now? Is there a problem that you
know of that we can start working on? And if, you know, sooner or later, peopleare like, not really, or if I work with college kids, you know, and they're,
they're, they're in this, like, vapor lock, because they were, you know, straightA students till their junior year, and then all of a sudden, they just fall apart, because they have
(33:33):
no purpose. It sits down, we're like, let's divide, let's figure out what God's purposefor you is. Like, what is the thing, like, for instance, I can sit
down, and I've done this for 15 years now, I can sitdown and read medical research and stuff like that for four hours and
be pissy, I've got to stop reading so I can go do something else. Becausethat's my thing, right? Like I got guys who like know everything there
is to know about the Dallas Cowboys, because that's their thing, or about carsor about whatever. Let's find your thing, the thing that you interest
(34:01):
you to know in. And let's try to figure out how that, you know,works into what you should be doing and who you should be. Because if we can help
find your purpose, Everything else comes tiedto your purpose, because if you're starting to do walk the path God set for you, joy
comes in, light comes in, everything positive startscoming in. So, you know, a lot of people just, it's funny because I work with 20, 30, 40 year
(34:23):
old guys and women too. I say guys as a plural, butat the end of the day, it's like, what do you want? What is you?
Who are you? What is important to you? What givesYeah. What frees you? What makes the world
disappear and you live in this thing? What is that? Andso once we kind of narrow down what those things are, that gives us kind of
(34:47):
a direction. And then we can start kind of like, OK, let's let's evaluate what'sin this direction, what it is about this that you like, like
what specifically what are the what are the characteristics for the things, the dedication, likeall the things. And then let's lean into this and start walking this road.
And it's funny because like a lot of people tell me they feel lost, youknow, men and women, you know, teenagers all the way up through
(35:09):
60, 70. Like I just feel lost. Of course youare. If you don't have a direction to set your sails to, set your
navigation to, you're always going to be lost. Because,you know, like I think it was Seneca said, you know, someone who without a
port, there is no favorable win. Because if you don't knowwhere you're going, how do you know if you're getting there? You're never going to reach your destination. Yeah,
(35:30):
yeah, yeah. And so that's kind of what that's the first thing we try todo is figure out where are we trying to go with this? Like, what is your
purpose? Why are we where? Why are you here? What's going on? Andit's one of those things where people are like, oh, it's a specific thing. Maybe.
But if it's in this direction, why don't westart looking in this direction instead of just flailing around?
(35:51):
So let's find a direction. Let's start walking. And oftentimes,it's like, hey, I thought it was over here, but it's not. It's right here. I'm like, well, it's definitely not
this way, though. So the fact that you found out that it was right there, eventhough we had to course correct a little bit, we were really
walking down the road towards the thing you were needing. Sothat's been super beneficial for a lot of people. It's just kind of helping them find
(36:12):
the direction that God gave them that's in their head somewhere they just haven't lookedWell, just a lot of them slow down because people are so, we're
on a lot of times in life, we're on autopilot andwe don't actually take the time with ourselves or
with someone like yourself to put the work into figure that out. What gives me the juice? Yeah.
(36:35):
Yeah. Well, and this is, you know, it's funny, because like, theother part of it is, there's a lot of desire, like, I see this with marriage
all the time. I talk to people in their marriages, you know, andguys, it's so funny, because if guys could just figure out what
the hell it was, or what our wives wanted, we would give it to them allthe time. We just can't figure it out. Because again, I
(36:56):
don't know if the women know exactly what it is they want. So it's hard for themAnd so like there's a lot of time for that love language, though, too, that we're
Well, and that's that's that's a great that's a great place to start. It's like, OK, likehave her take the test and then I'll sit down and be like, well, she's this
she's she's acts of service and she's quality time. AndI don't know what that means. I'm like, great. Well, let's sit down. Let's unpack it. Like,
(37:19):
here's what it means, right? Like, you know, make your wife coffee. Yeah,do the laundry. Like, you know, like, here are the little things like this
is what this is what this this term, this box means. Theseare the things and as you go through it, like, look, you
know, sometimes it might be a thing that, you know, she had on her plate thatshe didn't want to do. And so you do that thing. And it's great. And
(37:40):
I was like, oh, I did this thing over here. I mowed the lawn. I'm like, buddy, thatwasn't on her list of things she had to do. So she might appreciate that
it got done, but that wasn't a thing for her. Andso they go, Oh, now I get it. And you're like, yeah. And so like
little things like that, again, you know, just, just this little,like, this is what this means. These are ways to kind of tweak into
this. And then like, here's how we record things. If this happens, puta check mark next to it and be like, do more of that. If this happens, do
(38:08):
less of that. And it's funny because like, you know, you'dthink that that would just be, well, that's obvious. And it is. But
again, it's a blind spot. That's why you get somebody to be like,look, I've done this 57 times. Trust me, this
has always worked out. This is kind of how we're going to play this game. Andit's so beneficial to be able to work with people who've been doing this type of
(38:29):
thing for a long time, because they've already done the research and done the work and figured out thetrial and error and stuff. And they can just give you the meat. You don't have to go through
right on and you get to your destination a lot faster blissinstead of trying to do it on your own. Yeah, yeah.
And I can, I have lived that. SoI've heard
(38:57):
a few times you brought up faith. Yeah. Youtalked about the power that made the body, the power
that helps heal the body. Where does that belief come from? DoAbsolutely. So the quote I use, and I've
stolen it from chiropractic, is the power that made the body heals the body. So there'stwo big faith-based functions in chiropractic, is the
(39:23):
power that made the body heals the body. And then healing comes fromabove, down, inside, out. And those
two have been really, really beneficial. It's funnyto me because the more I learn about the body, the
more 100% convinced I am that it was designedand it was created. It is such
(39:45):
a beautifully working machine that everything like, it's like a Rube Goldbergmachine. Like when we just talk about utilization of energy creation
of ATP. So if your insulin comes up, it shuts off glucagon. Andthen as, as the sugars come away and the insulin starts coming down, it
hits like a lever and the glucagon comes up and it starts making sugar.
And as the sugar starts coming up, the insulin starts coming up. And so itshuts off glucagon. The way that your body is designed to function,
(40:10):
you're like, there's not a chance that this just as quickly come,It's like, well, obviously, this is what's going on. But, you
know, my, my Christian faith has been really, reallybolstered by everything I've done, which is, I think, ironic.
The thing that I think has has pushed me in the right direction more than anything,was Hiawaska. So when I did my DMT, it
(40:38):
was an amazing experience. It changed me more thananything. And it was funny, because like, with
the way I explained it was, I got a message from God that I could that Icould do more, that there was more I could do like, but it wasn't one of
those, like, you're not doing enough. So the way I describe it is like, imagine you'reeating this brownie and it's the best brownie you've ever had. And you're just like, this is the
(40:59):
best brownie in the world. And then someone comes along and goes, vanilla icecream. And you're like, oh my God, it's so much better now. Like that
type of thing. It's that type of a thing. And,you know, as I've leaned back into it, I've realized that, you know, the
structure and the function and the actual path thatthe Bible presents, not the one the church presents. So there
(41:21):
are some great churches, but not all of them are pushing this. the focuson the path God has before you, you know, and it will lead
you where you need to go. Not all of us have the same path. We're all here for specific reasons.
We're all here for a different purpose. Yeah. And if we canlean into that and follow the path, it really is
the path to joy and the path to freedom and the path to, you know,Like, I love every minute of my life. I feel so bad for people
(41:51):
Yeah. So, you know, and it's been the more I learn, themore sure I am of that's that's the direction of the piece I
need to be in. And, you know, it's great because Nathan Rossi, whomy coach, is probably one of the most well, the
best biblical scholars ever known about. I love talking toNathan because he'll be like, all right, I'm gonna take three sentences out of the
(42:14):
Bible and spend 90 minutes dissecting them for you. Andit's been a giant part of who I am up till now. And the
Yeah, see, I can relate tomy own story that I connect with, with
the faith of somebody's Christian faith, butalso the faith in their mindset. And this
(42:38):
goes back, oh, 18, 19 years, whenI was working for a company, we were doing an
Alzheimer's walk, walk for memories. And I was walking with mygood friend, and I call him my friend, because I love working with him. We
were running the track and he had to stop. He said, Bretster, calledme Bretster, I'm not feeling right. And
(43:02):
we found out a week later that he had cancer. Andhe wasn't given the best of news diagnostics and all that, but he
went, I live in Canada, we're in Eastern Canada.
He went to a specialist in Toronto, buthis mindset and his faith, he's a man of deep faith, I
(43:23):
think the combination of the two is what Ibelieve helped him considerably. Number one,
what he did is he registered an email so he could stay in touch. Andhis mindset was kickingcancersassatyahoo.ca. And
a year and a half later, cancer free. That'snot true for everyone, but his mindset and his
(43:52):
And that's that we see that a lot. Like you talk to you talk to surgeons andyou're like, who survives? And a lot of
times will be like the people who have the right mindset, people who decide, youknow, and you know, that there's a lot to
that, you know, but at the same time, it's where do you, where do you drive, like,you know, where do you drive the boundaries? Where do you
drive the functional base moral function? And,you know, it's again, the more I, the more I learn, the more I read in
(44:20):
the Christian faith, the more, the more I'm drawnto it. The, the, what I, what I found kind
of discovered, nobody, I can't, I can't think of who I told me this, but,the entirety of the Christian religion is based on free will. You
have to choose to follow Christ. It is up to you. Andif I think like, okay, they say that God is a loving God. The old
(44:50):
That's the thing. He gave us free will. He's like, OK, you guys go do whateveryou want to do. Here's the path you should walk. Go do whatever
you want to do. I will allow you to do whatever it is you want to do. Andby the way, if you make bad decisions, bad things are going to happen. I'm not saying to make the right
decisions, everything's going to be peaceful. But here's the path. andthat was that it's the Christian religion is the only one that's like
(45:11):
make your decision. Come, go, ask the deep questions, don'task the deep questions, whatever it is you want to do, you're free and
open to do anything. So that's one of the reasons whyI'm like, this is the faith for me. And again, that's not talked about
very much, but when you start looking again, when you start lookingat the Bible, it's all over the place. There's such
(45:37):
I could go on about that for hours, especiallyjust with even the message of the Prodigal Son, and
I've had proof of that in my own life, thatthere's mercy. You can
come back if you're willing to come back, but free will. Youhave the choice. So,
(46:02):
Dr. Chalmers, I want to start wrapping up here. Firstof all, I want to make sure, how do people find you?
I know you have various social media. What's the best way forWell, so I'm trying to grow my x right now, because I think there's more freedom of speech
there. So it's at the Dr. Chalmers on that one. Pillarsof wellness.com and Chalmers wellness.com will also get you to
(46:27):
us. But I would I would jump on the x because I'm gonna start givingabout I'm gonna try to give us a three minute little chats about
different health things that I think will help people. So the Dr. Chalmers onI do on Instagram. And so, and then Facebook and stuff like that. I'm
(46:48):
Okay, perfect. Pleasereach out to Dr. Chalmers, man
of great wisdom. And I know you'll bebe enlightened
with conversation, just reaching out and following him. There'sno better way to say thanks to him from the
(47:11):
bottom of our heart for being on our show today. But I'dlike to do something a little fun, a little different than I've been doing regularly.
Rapid fire questions, okay? First thingthat comes to your mind, Dr. Chalmers, okay? All right, sounds good. Okay,
first question. What's one thing the medical system got totally wrong?
(47:33):
Yeah, I would, I would probably start, I would start withthe philosophy of the fact that,
you know, their, their, their look from the evolution standpoint, insteadof the creation standpoint, because if you look at the, if you look at the body as a machine that
was designed intelligently, it's easy for you to be like, oh,here's the break. Here's how we fix that we go through because
(47:53):
if you look at the Good chemistry and badchemistry, if you start looking at it from that standpoint, it's a lot easier to fix than
it is the way that they're looking at right now. So I'd say that the root functional philosophyHealth habit that's a non-negotiable for you? Working
out. I got a lift. There you go. Yeah, me too. AYou know, that one's hard. I don't know. I
(48:38):
The one that inspires me probably the most, youknow, the Bible is an easy answer. I don't want to use that
one. Probably the one that has inspired me themost was the one that I wrote. And it's not because, you
know, whatever it is, because That's when I decidedto make a stop and be like, no, I'm going to come out and I'm going to start telling
(48:58):
people that this is not the way it is. Theway I look at it, there's a turning point for me before
I wrote it and published it and afterwards where I was like, well, nowthat I've said it, I can't take it back. And so that's probably the one
that has encouraged me, like, you better be right about everything you say, because you just said a bunch ofThat's encouraged me to make sure that I do the research. So that's probably the one that,
(49:37):
Yeah, start today, start right now. Yeah. Yeah.
Mindset by far, because the reason that you show up at the gym every dayis because you've made a decision. The reason that you choose to eat the way you
do is because the decisions you've made. So yourmindset has to be first. I have to decide I'm going to do this before
(50:01):
Decision day. Yep. Yeah. Favoritedaily ritual for grounding yourself? Prayer
every morning. Right on. Okay. Oneword that defines health for you. It
would have to be holistic. You've got to do all of it. Okay. Andfinish this sentence. Healing begins when
(50:24):
you finally. Take responsibility.
