Episode #44 - Unraveling the Mysteries of Brain Fog: A Conversation with Udo Erasmus 

Ever felt lost in the fog of your own mind, unable to find the clarity to make a decision or recall a memory? That's a sensation I know all too well, and it's called brain fog. Join me as I chat with health guru, Udo Erasmus, who sheds light on how our diet and lifestyle can contribute to, or clear, this frustrating phenomenon. We delve into the impact of toxins, nutrient deficiencies, and even emotional turmoil on our mental clarity. Not just that, Udo also reveals how a fierce determination can lead us out of the haze and towards our truest purpose.

Nutrition, Udo argues, is a game changer. He enlightens us on the powerful role that omega oils play in our overall health. We're not just talking about omega 3 and 6, but the importance of their delicate balance in our body. No pesticides, no harm - just pure nutritional benefits. And let's not forget the often underestimated powerhouses of health - probiotics and digestive enzymes. Udo’s abundant wisdom extends beyond mere food intake, offering us a holistic approach to well-being. 

But it's not just about what we eat; it's also about our environment. Udo champions the healing potential of elemental forces like fresh food, water, and air. A stroke survivor himself, Udo shares his own transformative journey of recovery, underlining the significance of these natural resources in his healing process. We conclude our exploration with a heartwarming discussion on the power of unconditional love and the essence of purpose in life. Don’t miss out on this insightful episode packed with Udo’s profound wisdom on nutrition, health, and purpose.

Erasmus recommends specific supplements to support brain health and relieve brain fog. These include:

·         Omega-3 Fatty Acids - Essential for maintaining healthy brain function, omega-3s reduce inflammation and support neuronal communication.

·         B Vitamins - Vital for energy production and neurotransmitter synthesis, B vitamins are crucial for optimal brain health. 

·         Magnesium - a mineral that plays an essential role in many bodily functions. It's involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions, including energy production, muscle and nerve function, and bone health. 

By following Erasmus's protocol, individuals experiencing brain fog can expect to see improvements in mental clarity and overall brain health. For more information on Udo Erasmus's brain fog protocol, visit https://www.udoschoice.com/

Come join me weekly to hearabout my journey from recovery
to healing after having a strokeand other life challenges.
So let's get talking.
Hi everybody, elita HernandezRebooted the Podcast.

(00:31):
We are here again with anotherinteresting guest that I have
today, on Udo.
I said it again wrong.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's okay, let me do it, udo Erasmus.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Erasmus.
There you go.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, it's a strange name.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Is there a culture?
That's why the name, or is ityeah?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I was born in Europe.
My parents came from Latvia andEstonia, and my.
German Swedish background, bornin Poland, and yeah, it's a
very European name.
There's only very few Udosaround, so anytime you punch in
Udo on Google, I show up on thefirst page without any effort.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
On my part.
Oh, isn't that good?
Look at that.
You get the ranking right away.
Yeah, that's right, so that wasa good thing to name you that
then.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, in that regard.
Yes, that must have botheredyou when you were the other one
is it's not even a four letterword.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
So when I sign my name, I'm done really fast yeah,
so it saves me time too, right,that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
So let's talk about.
We're talking about brain fog,overcoming brain fog.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Brain fog yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Brain fog, and you have a book as well, correct?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I have several books and I work with all kinds of
things.
I'm all based on health andhuman nature.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh, wonderful.
Well, that's my field.
Well, that's all I talk aboutis just getting people to
understand that there'salternatives in medicine and
nutrition and that your bodyheals.
And I saw my other podcast with.
My story is that I had a strokesix years ago and I changed my

(02:17):
lifestyle completely from headto toe because I had no choice.
It was either for a die so Ichose the right way and be
around for my kids, and now I'mjust trying to interview people
like you and other experts outthere so I can learn more on how
to heal my body and feel better.

(02:38):
Yeah, I actually have beenhaving some brain fog.
I don't know what is going on.
Since I had COVID, I had ittwice.
I find that I've been sicker alittle bit more often.
It's very little now, but I getthis brain fog all of a sudden.
I'm fine, and then I wake up inthe morning like what is going?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
on.
Yeah, yeah, and I don't thinkthey've figured out why that
goes with long COVID.
I don't think they've figuredout exactly what's going on.
But there's lots of differentways to get brain fog.
They're both physical, like,for instance, toxicity, just
generally toxicity Unnaturalmolecules in your body, they get
into your brain and then theyinterfere with brain function.

(03:25):
If you deficient in essentialnutrients that are required for
brain function, that'll give youbrain fog too.
If you have a hangover fromdrugs or alcohol, that'll give
you brain fog, right, right?
If you're confused about whoyou are and what you're here for
, that gives you brain fog.
And if you haven't learned tofocus, because you're kind of

(03:46):
just erecting to everything,well, that'll get you brain fog
too.
So there's lots of reasons forbrain fog and it's like tired
and low energy and can't thinkstraight, and confused and don't
know what's happening, and feelstressed for no reason and

(04:06):
maybe a little anxiety goes withall of that because you feel
like you're not really on top ofyour game, right?
So yeah, and it's pretty common, and if you're listened to one
political party say one thingand the other one, just as me,
and they say the other thing,you get confused brain fog, so
let's blame it on thepoliticians.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, that'll work right now.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, or the neighbors.
But eventually we have to say,you know, in the midst of all of
this, whatever is all going on,that's all crazy.
You know, in the midst of that,there's a place where I can be
and there are things that I cando that put me in a place where
I feel competent, where I feelaware and awake and energized

(04:54):
and able to deal with what Ineed to deal with.
And that's where our homework,that's where our homework comes
from, you know, or has to comefrom, right, we decide.
It's almost like like sometimesI drift, you know, I get brain
fog too, right, I drift and I'mjust like I don't know, you know
, and then I get to a pointwhere I just get really ticked

(05:16):
off.
Then I have this moment of Icall it, I know I can't remember
what I call it.
But it's a fierce determinationand it's like damn it, you know,
and there's just like a burst,right you know, when you have
that burst, all of a suddenthere's clarity, right, yeah.

(05:40):
And then there's and it'scalled so I call it fierce
determination and it gets when Iget sick and tired of being
sick and tired, when I get sickof drifting and something, or
when I get sick of not beingpresent, right, and then you
have this burst.
And that's what emotions aresometimes good for.
If you really get fed up, thenin that determination you find

(06:04):
your power, and in the power youfind your clarity, and then the
clarity you get to do what youneed to do Right.
So that's a mental part of it.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Right, right, and I lie because I get like this yeah
, so I'm a very creative person,I do these shows and I write
and do different things, andthere's sometimes I'll sit here
and I have to do a video editoror something and I just can't
yeah, I can't just sit on that,so I have to get up, go do

(06:36):
something, walk around the blockor whatever.
Yeah, it's something like getsome more oxygen to my brain or
whatever.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, do a little exercise, take a cold shower.
Yeah, that works right.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, I think to just like just jolt you a little bit
, jolt you into the present.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
So, talking about brain fog, yeah, well, there's a
lot of things here.
You talk about nutrition andsupplements and things like that
which we can get into.
Yeah, I'm just curious how, ifyou know of any studies about,
like the Alzheimer's, you know,with the brain fog, like
association with you know what Imean.
I know it's a whole anotherspectrum.

(07:11):
Yeah, no, no.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I think we are a broad answer to that.
We are creatures of nature.
Nature made us.
We come out of the naturalsystem.
Everything, all the buildingblocks for body construction and
function, come from nature.
So we're part of nature.
We're supposed to live in linewith nature and we have a nature

(07:35):
like a natural nature, thenature of a human being, right.
And when we live in line withnature and our nature, we're
going to be present.
We're going to be present inthe space our body occupies and
we're going to feel alivebecause there's energy in that
space.
And we're going to be aware ofour surroundings.

(07:58):
And when something happens andchanges, which happens all the
time well then we just deal withit as a matter of course,
because we're awake, we're there, we're present, right.
Every step we take out of linewith nature and our nature, we
lose something that has to dowith health, that has to do with
brain function, that has to dowith focus, that has to do with

(08:20):
awareness.
And so the broad answer isevery step you need to take from
where you are to getting backin line with nature is going to
give you something in health,because health was invented by
nature, right For living,adapted to nature.

(08:42):
So what does that mean?
Well, if you fry your foods,well, that's not nature's
mandate, that's something humanbeings invented.
Frying is the dumbest thing weever invented to do and
certainly can lead to brain fogand certainly can lead to other
brain problems.
So give up the frying pan, goback to cooking and water and
then from water get into eatingraw foods, because every

(09:05):
creature in nature eats as foodfresh, whole, raw and organic.
Yeah, for humans, probablymostly plant-based.
The research is pretty clearyou want the longest life and
the best health.
You do it on a whole food,plant-based diet.
So that's the broad thing.

(09:26):
So Alzheimer is a braindegenerative disease.
Some people now call itdiabetes 3.
You know we have type 1, type 2diabetes.
Now they call it type 3diabetes.
And probably you would do betteron a diet that is low in sugar
and low in refined starches, forsure, and you might even do

(09:50):
better on a diet that is more inline with ketogenic.
But if you're not going on adiet that's ketogenic, where you
use mostly fats for your fuel,you actually need to make sure
that you get omega 3 and omega 6, essential fatty acids, which
are essential because you can'tmake them, but you have to have
them to live and be healthy.

(10:11):
They have to come from outside,but they're the most sensitive
of our nutrients and they'reeasily damaged by light, oxygen
and heat.
So you need to get those theomega 3 and omega 6, without
damage and without pesticidesand without plastic like they
often have in oils.
So you have to get oils madewith health in mind.

(10:35):
You never use them for frying.
You mix them in food.
They enhance the absorption ofoil-soluble nutrients, which is
another bonus for health, right,and you end up doing better.
Now, most ketogenic diets don'tpay attention to that, but the
only thing you need from fatsthat you for sure have to have
is omega 3 and omega 6.
And 99% of the population doesnot get enough omega 3 for

(10:59):
optimum health, and pretty muchmost of the population gets
enough omega 6, but they'redamaged by the processing and by
food preparation, and so youwant them both made with health
in mind.
They need to be in the rightratio, because they compete in
the body.
Wow, that's probably the onearea that is the most neglected,
where you will get the mosthealth benefits.

(11:22):
More health problems come fromdamaged oils than any other part
of nutrition and more benefitsto health will come, walking
those back into line with nature, with omega 3s made with health
in mind and omega 6s in theright ratio, packaged in glass,
put in a box, refrigeratedbecause they're sensitive to

(11:45):
light, oxygen and heat, and thenused with care in your foods.
And that's the industry Iinvented.
Actually, I got poisoned bypesticides.
There's another way to getbrain fog.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yes.
Well, we talked about the blusablusa fate or whatever it is
called.
Glyphosate yeah, glyphosate,that's very bad for you.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
And they're still debated about that.
They're all bad for you becausepesticides are made for only
one reason to kill living things.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
But we're living things.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Exactly, and we're not that different from the
grass and from the bugs in ourbiochemistry.
It's the same biochemistry outof nature that makes them and
that makes us so.
If it's toxic to an insect,there's a really good chance
it'll be toxic for you as well.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Wow, and then we've been exposed to that for so many
years now.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Oh sure, yeah, Everywhere, everywhere they're
exposed to that yeah, because wehave freedom without
responsibility.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
And that's the truth.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
That's terrible.
So how can you get?
So?
I'm curious how am I going toget omega three and omega six
properly?

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Like.
Well, the easiest way is you.
You'll find it in a brown glassbottle, in a box, in the fridge
, in the supplement section inthe health food stores.
Okay, and there's only onethat's made like that.
I made it.
Oh, okay, that's how I that'show I know I started that whole
industry of making oils withhealth in mind after I got

(13:18):
poisoned.
Wow, and what we did?
And we, we balance.
It's a blend of oils.
We'll rebalance omega three andsix.
Because you don't know.
You know, if you don't havespecial knowledge, special
education, then you don't knowhow much do you need?
How much is in a sunflower oiland what is in a safflower oil?
What is in a soybean oil andwhat is in flax oil?

(13:39):
Right, you don't know?
No, you don't no.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
And then, and then I did some of it by experience.
I actually, when I got theratio wrong, I got deficiency
symptoms of the other one right.
And so then I play, I playedwith it and worked with it, and
I try to do it with seeds andnuts, and that's not enough for
me because I couldn't get myskin from being from drying out

(14:04):
even in summer when I need lessoil.
And so we've, we've, we builtit both on the feedback we got
because I've been doing this nowfor over 40 years and and being
to 40 countries.
And I like the feedback becausethe people who use it and
report what they, what happensto them, not only do they make

(14:25):
me feel good because I get tohelp so many people, but I also
get information that I can useto make it even better Exactly,
and I like, and I like doingthat.
And it feels really good here tobe doing something that makes
people's lives better, exactly.
The second thing is digestionis the second most neglected

(14:47):
area.
So that's the second area Iworked with and so I talked with
about probiotics everybody'sheard about them by now.
They, we, we got there prettyearly like 1997.
And probiotics improve whatgoes on in your digestive tract
so that you don't get poisonousmolecules made by unfriendly

(15:10):
bacteria getting absorbed intoyour body and they'll affect you
, your brain fog as well.
And then digestive enzymes.
Again, you look at nature,every creature eats raw.
So when you eat raw food andyou chew it properly, the
enzymes in the raw food will doon average 60% of the digestion

(15:34):
of the food for you.
What after you swallow it andbefore it gets into the acid
bath bath in your stomach?
60%.
Now, when we cook the food we,we destroy those enzymes.
And now our digestive systemhas to do more than twice as
much work.
Oh, I didn't know that and itwasn't, and it wasn't intended

(15:54):
to do that.
It was intended for raw food.
So when that catches up withyou, then your immune system has
to get involved.
And now your immune systemisn't free to do the jobs, it's
other jobs, which is like cleanup junk in the body, right, take
down an inflammatory proteins.
If there's any viruses that getin your body, take them down by

(16:17):
digest, simply by digestingthem, and you know so.
So if you cook your food, thenyou should replace the enzymes
you destroyed when the food wascooked and you should replace
the probiotics that got killedwhen you cook the food.
Wow.
And if you take antibiotics,you should take probiotics

(16:38):
before, during and after, so younever leave an, you never leave
a window open for reinfectionwhen the antibiotic wears off.
Most people don't know that andmost people don't do that.
No, right.
So fiber is very helpful aswell, for for your digestive
tract, and bitters that theyhelp with liver function.

(17:01):
Bitters don't give you brain fog, bitters actually give you
clarity.
Sugar gives you brain fog.
Sugar is terrible, yeah.
So my question is always well,you know, people say, well, yeah
, but I like sweet.
Well, why does everything haveto be sweet?
Maybe you could just decide tolike bitter, because you know
that bitter is better, right,better for you, right, so, yeah.

(17:25):
And then greens, greens andvegetables.
You know it's hard to get brainfog from eating raw vegetables.
In fact, it may be impossible.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Wow, but when you cook them, the composition
changes.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Well, when you cook them in water, you lose the
enzymes and probiotics that comewith them.
You get a little bit of damage.
You lose some of the mineralsinto the cooking water, unless
you drink that water, which somepeople do.
So you do lose something.
So if raw is better, as long asit's not contaminated by

(18:02):
microbes.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Right, well, that's it.
Now you have to wash it and youdon't know.
That's the only problem,because even if you go to the
store, you can't believe theorganic a lot of times, most of
the time.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
But it's very your chances of it being organic if
it says organic are better thanif it doesn't say organic.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well, that's true, right.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
So from that perspective, it's a step in the
right direction.
But you don't know, andsometimes people have different
standards for what they callorganic.
So the best thing to do is, ifyou own a home, tear up your
lawn.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
forget about the stupid lawn and grow your own
vegetables.
Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
I'll have a little herb garden.
That's all I have right now,yeah, and it's super good for
the kids when you teach them howto grow things and they have to
wait and the patient, theylearn patience because
everything becomes ripe inseason and then sometimes they
say, oh, is there a radish thereon there yet?
So they pull it up and there'sno radish there yet and they say

(19:00):
, no, no, no, you can't do that.
You have to wait until theradish lets you know that it's
there and you'll see the top ofit on top of the soil and then
you can pick it.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, I love all types of fruits and vegetables.
And one thing, though, so I wasthinking about when you said
back in nature.
So I find myself that if I walkoutside, I like to walk.
I don't like to go to the gymbecause I don't like to be
indoors, I like to be outside.
So I think you'll walk throughthe neighborhood, through the
residential neighborhood, and Ilook at all the trees and I've

(19:31):
been loaded off Florida, so it'smango season right now.
So I have made everything youcan think of with mango mango
salad with cucumbers, freshsalad, raw salad I'll be right
over.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
I love mangoes.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
My mother walks every day.
My mother's 85 and she wasdiagnosed with Alzheimer's.
But I'm not, I don't know.
I know she has some memoryissues, but she's 85 years old
and she's still.
Physically she's awesome.
I cook every day, I make foodhome fresh foods, buy everything
, and she walks around thecul-de-sac every day so she'll

(20:10):
go to the neighbor's house,bring a couple of mangoes.
Every day she's coming.
I got more mangoes.
I mean we must have had 200mangoes in the house already.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, nice.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
There's five of us, so we all we're always eating
the mango, and then we have amoringa tree.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Can you get her to walk by my house and drop off a
couple?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I live in.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I live in Vancouver.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh yeah, you'll go far.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's a long walk, it's a long walk Out in nature
and oxygen.
Getting oxygen, you know, and Imean people sent kids into
nature, adults too, to improvehealth problems and to improve
something like brain fog.
Oxygen is really good for brainfog, right, it increases your

(20:56):
energy level, it's fresh andit's alkaline, and you know so.
So I mean there's yeah, and italways comes back to live in
line with nature, live in linewith nature and live in line
with your nature.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
People think I'm crazy when I go to hug a tree.
They're like what are you doing?
I said there's vibrations,there's energy.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, yeah, I'm kissing my sister.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
People are like you're weird.
I'm like I don't care.
It makes me feel good.
Yeah Well, you know why I talkto the plants I talk to herbs.
I talk to all of them.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
But if you think about it, cutting a tree down is
weird.
Picking flowers is weirdbecause you're killing something
and you don't need to, when youdon't need to.
Right Saying hi to the flowersand hello to the trees and and
having a conversation with them,that's normal.
But we've gone so far away fromnormal that people think it's

(21:53):
weird.
That's how weird those peopleare.
That's how weird we have become.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, See, I had the opportunity as a child.
I was born in New York City,but my family lives in.
My grandparents lived in PuertoRico, on the island.
So, so my grandmother lived inthe countryside so every summer
I spent three months out of theyear there and we all, and so I
would go to the backyard.
We had a big lot and we hadeverything growing the guava,

(22:20):
the mangoes, the all the fauna,all the different roots that
they grow, the yucca, I mean allthis stuff.
So I remember.
And we had fresh chickens so Iwould go pick up the eggs in the
morning and feed the chickens,and sometimes I go how come
there's a chicken missing?
And then she told me didn'twant chicken so I wouldn't eat.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, and you know that's that which which reminds
me of something more.
You know it's pretty hard tohave brain fog on the farm,
because you got to milk the cowsand you got to get the eggs and
you got to pull the weeds, andyou know there's always
something you need to do thatengages your body and that
engages your senses, and becausethe farm and the success and

(23:04):
your food depends on you doingwhat you need to do every day,
you don't have time for brainfog.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
No, you don't.
And that's why there's a lot ofpeople in the island that live
a long time.
There's a lot of people over ahundred years old there.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
They live a very simple life in the country.
All their, all their food,basically everything's outside
and the soil in the island isred.
It's like brick.
You just put a seed and itgrows.
Things grow and thingsdifferently right, things that
when you like.
When I go to Europe, I'm like,oh my God, this is real food.
A red pepper tastes like a redpepper, you know as flavor.

(23:40):
It's not water here.
You taste it like tastes likewater because there's like no
flavor in everything.
So but it's.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
That's fresh.
Fresh is the operative wordhere Fresh water fresh air fresh
food.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Exactly and that's one of the things I want to say
that when I had my stroke sixyears ago, my acupuncturist the
first thing he said to me youneed to do a detox and you need
to do.
He had me doing fresh juices,carrot celery, doing at her home
in my machine.
For 21 days I stopped eatingmeat.

(24:15):
So for the first like year anda half after I had the stroke, I
didn't eat any meat.
I just ate all I did.
I cooked vegetables too, but Idid a lot of raw cooking, a lot
of juice, a lot of juicing toclear every all the toxins out
of my body.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
And that's why I tell people to you know, to listen
to this podcast and and hear allthis amazing stuff, because
people don't understand you.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
your body heals If you give it the right thing you
know, like to give them, to givethem like a sense of that.
Your body is a majorconstruction site.
It's always turning over andevery year, about 98% of the
atoms in your body are removedand replaced, and it's done with

(24:58):
such finesse that you don'teven notice.
But the but.
But the fact that the body'salways turning over is the
reason why it can heal.
So when you're there'ssomething wrong with your body
whether it's brain fog or orphysical stuff you know pains
and inflammation or whateverthen what you need to do is you

(25:18):
need to raise your standard forthe intake of fresh air, fresh
water and fresh food, and whenyou do that, you will rebuild
98% of your body to a higherstandard in one year.
That's why he, that's whathealing is.
That's why healing is possible,because you're always turning

(25:40):
over.
That's why we have to eat,because your body keeps needing
new material for the turnover,right, yep, so the, so the idea
of.
And when you say, okay, you gota detox.
Well, how do you do that?
You know organic stuff, nopesticides, right.
And then you.
And then you make it easy onyour digestion.
You do that by keeping theenzymes in it, because it's raw,

(26:03):
right.
And then the fresh organicjuices.
That's a pretty high standardfor food and you do that for a
year and a half and 99% of yourbody will have been rebuilt to
that standard.
But if you're doing it onhamburgers and fried meat and
fried eggs and fried everythingand burned oils and white sugar

(26:31):
and white flour and damaged oils, well yeah, then you're
building a.
You know you could do that fora year and build your body to a
lower standard 98% of it in ayear.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
That's why everybody's so unhealthy Because
everywhere you go, fast food isfried.
I cannot go outside.
I ate something the other daythat was fried and then for like
three days I had stomachproblems.
I'm like what's wrong with mystomach and I couldn't oh, I
know You're lucky because younotice.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Sometimes people don't notice, maybe because
they're not paying attention,but then they keep doing it and
they don't notice that, thatit's hurting them, and then they
get used to it and then, oh youknow, it comes with age, or
they give, they have some excusewhere the only thing they
should be doing is changing theway they eat more in line with
nature, more in line withthreshold, raw organic.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, it's unfortunate because people want
things fast.
And my acupuncturist told me.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
He said he goes fast food.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
He said the original fast food is raw food.
He said, yeah, food is fastfood.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
You make a bunch of salad.
You grab a tomato, you got acucumber.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
There you go, you got your salad, it's raw food.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
It's no dishes.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Exactly, right, exactly.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
And if you do fast food, you know if you want
everything fast, well, the boxat the end will be faster too.
Right?
That's the truth, yeah, yeah,you might as well understand
that, and you know I'm politeenough to say it.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
No, but it's true.
I told people I had to decideif I was gonna live or die
because I was in a very badstate when I had my stroke.
I was overweight.
I've already lost 70 pounds.
I've changed all my numbersbecause I'm diabetic.
So I've changed all my numbers.
I'm down, you know really goodA1C, everything like that.

(28:24):
And I'm off of insulin.
I'm not on insulin anymore andmy body's healed because I had
lost 50% of my left side.
So I had to do therapy and getmyself back, but I was
determined because I have twochildren.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
I was like I don't see my sons.
Yeah, and now you're aninspiration for other people,
because you've proved that it'spossible, because that's a good
comeback.
You know that's a comeback froma huge issue, right?
And how many?

Speaker 1 (28:53):
70 pounds 70 pounds and six and a half years now Six
and a half years since thestroke and January will be seven
years and I've regained my leftside.
I can dance again.
I can run, I jog, I can do amile run now.
So, I went from barely walkingto doing a mile run.

(29:17):
So I tell people and I'm 58years old, so I'm not a sprint
chicken anymore.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, yeah, so I'm 81 .
I got poisoned by pesticideswhen I was 38.
That's when I started payingattention.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Wow, you look like a man.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
When I was 38, I had a little bit of arthritis in my
knees.
I got no pain in my joints atall at 81.
And when I got poisoned, yeah,I woke up.
It's like I only get one bodyand I was really careless.
I mean, I was really careless,I was stupid careless.
Some people call that men'stestosterone poison.

(29:52):
You're poisoned by their owntestosterone to do really stupid
things until they get the firstdisaster, until they create the
first disaster for themselves,and then they start getting
wiser.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Wow, that's amazing, and the thing is that we need
people like you and others thatknow the truth of the healing of
the body, because,unfortunately, our regular
Western medicine here is not themedicine is just.
It's all about medications andthings like that.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Well, yeah, it's not health care.
What doctors practice isdisease management.
They don't even have adefinition of health to go from.
They say health is the absenceof disease.
But that's actually backwards,because disease comes from the
absence of health, and healthhas principles and components.
If you know what those are,then you bring them all in and

(30:48):
you build your health program.
And that's like the essentialnutrients that are 42.
There's 18 minerals, 13vitamins, nine amino acids from
proteins and two essential fattyacids from fats.
No essential nutrients fromcarbohydrates.
So carbohydrates are the leastimportant food.
You know they're good for fuel,but oils are better fuel,

(31:10):
actually give you more stableenergy.
They don't get insulin swings.
You don't become overweight onthem because they inhibit fat
production genes in your body.
The right fats do that, and soyeah, and so you have to build
the program.
But in order to do that, youhave to know what that needs to

(31:30):
look like.
And what I'm doing is I'mactually turning health into a
teachable field based on theprinciples and components.
And the reason why is becausethat, geez, we've been here for
200,000 years and we don't knowwho we are.
We don't know what human natureis.
What's wrong with that picture.

(31:51):
You know we know more aboutgossip about our neighbors.
Then we know about who we are,what we need and how to put it
together.
And I thought okay, well, I wantto do.
Total health and human natureare the two things I'm gonna
work on till the time I checkout.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Well, you look amazing at 81.
I didn't even think that.
I thought you were only a fewyears older than me, so I am a
few years older than you.
Just a few.
Yeah, it's all about your heartand your mentality.
And of course you have yourvitality because you've been
taking care of your health andit makes such a difference.
Yeah, you're really healthy.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, and I also do something worth doing.
I have purpose.
You know purpose is also goodfor brain fog.
You know, if you don't have anypurpose, what should you do
Then?
You got to bored with evenbeing alive, right?

Speaker 1 (32:44):
That's like oh gosh, I see people like that all the
time, right, yeah, yeah yeah,bored being alive, and then you
do stupid things and you checkout early.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
But if you have a purpose to live for, then you're
gonna do what you need to do tobe around to pursue that
purpose.
So, having purpose makes you,smartens you up.
Right, because it's part of thepurpose is I got to look after
myself, otherwise I can't dowhat I want to do.
And what I do is glorious andbeautiful, right, and I feel

(33:19):
good about it.
And when you feel good, that'salso good for brain fog.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, I do right.
Yeah, it's really amazingbecause I mean, unfortunately, I
went through a very scaryperiod of time being sick, but
I've taken it and turned it intosomething very positive.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, and now you can look at it as a gift.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Because it got your attention.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Oh, it did, it really did.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Slapped you around the head, told you gotta be
different.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Let me tell you I was blessed in the sense that I
woke up.
I was the reason I woke upduring the stroke.
I was having a stroke in themiddle of the night and in a
dream the dream woke me upbecause I was in the hospital
room in the dream and the doctorwalked in and said Mr Nanda,
you just had a stroke, just likethat, and I woke up.

(34:11):
And I woke up and I went, Ijust kind of like I feel weird
that I have a stroke, like Ihave a heart attack, like I
didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
And so all I remember was waking up and I couldn't
move my left side, like somebodywas holding me down.
I just stuck on that side.
I'm like what?
And so I thought I slept on myarm.
So I'm like oh, I'm not soslept, I can go on like this.
My arm would go down and I'mlike what?
So I couldn't process Because ofwhat was going on and I don't
know how I landed up getting tothe edge of the bed, because I

(34:41):
had to go up to go to thebathroom and I just fell flat on
the floor.
I couldn't walk and my roommateat the time was like Alita,
what's wrong?
And I looked at her and shelooked at me and said, oh, let
me call 911.
I go why?
She said no, no, no, I need tocall.
She didn't tell me my mouth was, you know, one side.
My left side was twisted.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
It's paralyzed, yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, I didn't know and I was talking funny.
I go, how come I'm talkingfunny?
I felt like I was like DaffyDuck.
I was like what's up, what's up, what's going on.
I couldn't get the words out.
I'm still like being me, likemy personality, fighting
whatever this is, you know.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, it's funny now.
I guess it wasn't funny then,but it's pretty funny now the
way you talk about it.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah, I mean I make light of it now because you know
I can't yeah yeah.
At that time it was scary, itwas really scary, oh, yeah, yeah
.
But I'm thankful and, like Itell everybody, everybody needs
to have hope and faith and learnyour body, people, your body
signals you when there'ssomething wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Before I had the stroke I went to the doctor
three or four times because Iwas having severe pains in my
head and I was having some weirdlike, almost like abdominal,
like almost like contractionsthat's how they felt like
pregnancy contractions, becauseit wasn't abdominal, it was just
a weird and I could saysomething's off with me and my

(36:05):
sugar, my diabetes.
My number wouldn't go down past400.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
It stayed at 400.
With two insolence it wouldn'tgo down.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
I kept telling the doctor something is not right
with my body.
It's not responding to medicine.
I have severe headaches for aweek now and they're like, oh,
we can't find anything.
And I was at the hospital theday before I had the stroke and
they sent me home, yeah yeah, Iknow Richard Burton.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
the actor got a clean bill of health from his doctor
one week before he died of amassive heart attack.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
I know I mean they're humans.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
So rather than going to the doctor me personally I
would rather figure out how tolive in line with nature and
then be responsible for that,because ultimately, your doctor
is not responsible.
You know whether you live ordie.
You know, even if you die fromthe treatment, he still gets
paid Exactly.
And so, in one sense, becausehe gets paid, no matter what the

(37:13):
outcome is, there's not a hugeincentive to keep you healthy.
Now, it doesn't mean they don'twant to help you.
You know, doctors are humanbeings too, but what is really
clear is that as much aspossible, your health needs to
be your responsibility.
What can you do to improve yourodds?

(37:34):
Ultimately, your body is goingto check out.
We already know that, right,right.
But what can you do to enjoyyour life so much that you'll be
willing to do whatever it takesto prolong your time on earth
as long as you can and ashealthy and as able as you can?
That's fine, that's fine, butthen you have to have something

(37:55):
in your heart that you're livingfor.
What are you living for, youknow?
Maybe just to enjoy everything.
Just enjoy it.
Look at the trees outside, lookat the clouds in the sky, look
at you know, this is we live ina miracle.
We are a miracle, living in amiracle?
Yeah Right, because we're justdust, water and air and a little

(38:15):
bit of sunlight.
That's it.
That's what we are.
But sunlight can't have thehuman experience and water can't
have the human experience anddust can't have the human
experience.
But you put them all togetherand here I am, those four things
together, and I get to have thehuman experience.
And what an experience it isLaughing and crying and dancing,

(38:38):
and singing, and eating, andtasting and smelling and, you
know, enjoying the sensorydelights of the planet.
You know.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Yeah, we have to love ourselves.
That's the problem.
A lot of times we don't takecare of ourselves as we're just.
We consume whatever we see,which we're trusting that, but
even though we know it's notgood to eat, you know.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
But you know what else?
The truth is that you know, ifI say to you, hey, alina, whose
body is that?
You probably say, well, that'smy body, right?
Most people would say that,right, right, right.
So you just told me that you'renot the body.
If that's your body, thenyou're not the.
You're not the body, you're theowner.
So who are you as owner of thebody?

(39:23):
Well, actually you have to saylife is the owner of the body.
How well do you know yourself aslife?
Well, not very well, becauseI'm always looking away from it,
I never look into it, because Inever sit still long enough to
to bring my focus into the spacemy body occupies, where that
energy is.
But when you do that, youdiscover that life is actually

(39:48):
the nature of life, isempowering, unconditional love.
That's right.
When you feel that you feelempowered and loved and cared
for, and when you feel like that, it's like, oh my God.
If, first of all, it feels sogood that you want to, you want
to be there all the time, right.

(40:08):
And then the second thing isokay, well, it's not about me
anymore, I'm taken care of.
And if I don't know the feeltaken care of, I know where to
go to feel it.
And when I feel it, I lookaround and say, okay, not about
me, I'm cared for.
Where can I help?
What needs to be done?
How can I make the biggestsplash for good in the time I

(40:30):
have?
This completely changes theorientation.
If you don't feel cared for,then it's always what can I do,
what can I, what can I take,what can I get That'll get me
taken care of, and nothing onthe outside takes care of you
the way life takes care of youon the inside.
So you have to get in touchwith life and feel that care,

(40:52):
and then you have a life that'sbased on the foundation of love.
And guess what?
Little kids know that that'sthe most important thing.
All the great masters saidthat's the most important thing.
And if you actually know thedifference between living from
there and not living from there,you'll say love is the greatest
thing too.
And you have it in you, we haveit all.

(41:12):
We all have it in us.
Every human being, no matterwhat their story is, what their
trip is and what their historyis, every human being is made.
Their individual essence isempowering, unconditional love,
wow.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
That's a big one, and there's no break.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Oh, by the way, there's no brain fog in
unconditional love.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
That's right.
That's right.
I have a group of sisterhoodand we speak about that that.
It's a space where women cometogether with unconditional love
, no judgment, no prejudice.
We just come together in lovejust to support each other.
Yep, and it makes such adifference.
It really does.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
And 8 billion people in about 200 nations could do
exactly the same thing.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Exactly.
If we could all do that, itwould be a better place.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
And it's about time we started.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yes, yes, because the planet needs us everything and
living in needs us because we'rekilling everything in it.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
Yeah, we're destroying it because we're
trying to get taken care of fromoutside when we already we were
already taken care of from theinside Right, and that maybe we
could take that care out intothe world, to each other and to
nature and to the planet.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
Yeah, and take care of each other.
A lot of people out there needhelp, yeah, that's why a smile,
a hello or anything just togreeting somebody on a daily
basis, it can make a whole aperson's day.
It really is a difference, justjust confidence.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
That's why I tell people, just be kind, be kind
today, but we got to do thehomework to be able to do it.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Yes, so where do we get all your products?
You said you have the omegathree and six.
You had some other stuff.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Yeah, and enzymes, probiotics.
You can look me up onudowschoice UDOSchoicecom.
Okay, and there's descriptionsof the products.
You get most of them in thenatural foods trade.
You can buy it.
You can buy them on Amazon aswell.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
And I'm easy to find.
I'm on Facebook and I'm onInstagram and I'm on LinkedIn
and I have a YouTube channel.
Udorasmuscom is the.
That's my other website where Ido the.
That's a.
That's a work in progress, butI you know if you I've do
podcasts quite a few.
If you go to Google and dopodcasts slash UDORasmus or

(43:47):
udorasmus slash podcast, youcould listen to other podcasts
I've done on different topics.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Perfect, perfect, I love it.
I'll have to get you back onagain, because we can keep
talking forever.
There's so much we can talkabout.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Well, yeah, let's talk about the big picture.
Let's talk about human nature.
There's some proof.
Yeah, I'd be happy to do it.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Yeah, there's so much .
I just I just came out.
Have you seen the movie Soundof freedom?

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Not yet.
It was sold out.
So it's sold out right now, ohthat's I'm happy.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
I'm happy that it's sold out, that people are going
to see I just saw it last night.
It was such amazing and I hadthe opportunity.
I'm trying to get him now, butI interviewed the director of
the of the movie at another,from another movie and I, when I
was watching the movieyesterday, I said Alejandro
Montevilde, and I oh same, oh,yeah, so yeah, so I I text them.

(44:39):
I have a cell number on waitingto see if he responds to me.
I would love to talk to himabout the movie, but that was
awesome.
That's one thing about thatmovie is just like well, we're
talking about unconditional love.
And we really need that,because there's some ugliness
going on out there.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
The crazy thing is, we have it.
Oh, of course we have it, buteverybody has it, but we're not
operating from it because we'renot.
You know, we're supposed tolook into it and instead we look
away from it.
And when you look into it, youfind it.
It's always there.
It never leaves you, no matterhow you feel you know, brain fog

(45:13):
or schizophrenia or whateveryour problem is it never leaves
you If you bring your focus inwhere that energy is solar
energy, solar energy, gadgets,life is solar energy, a fraction
of solar energy.
If you bring your awareness inand and and bring your focus

(45:34):
into it, you know that you, youare 100%, 24, 7, 365, lifelong,
unconditionally loved.
Right, and say, okay, Not aboutme.
And then you live into the worldwith unconditional love when
you feel it, and then you changethe way you live into the world

(45:59):
and how you act into the world,and that's how you rebuild the
world.
That's how you fix it.
You can't fix it if your stateof being doesn't change first.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Because everything we're wrecking comes out of our
state of being, because we can'tbut express it.
So, anyway, we'll do that onthe next one.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
I love it and I want to be onthat course.
For the training that you sayyou can have a training course,
I want to do that oh yeah, we'reworking on it.
I would love to do that.
I've been trying to see wherewhat I'm going to do next you
know to yeah encing my knowledgeand everything like that, and
I'm going to look into gettingyour Omega 3 and 6 and
probiotics, because I know I'vetried different types of

(46:42):
probiotics but I know you haveto have the right one.
Some of them don't have enough.
Some of them are missing thingsand it's really hard as a
person that you know.
When you read, you know youhave so much propaganda on the
internet and if you Googleprobiotics, then all day long
you're getting probiotics fromeverybody and you don't know
which one is good.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Yeah, so I'll give you the one I use.
It's called Super Bifidoplus.
It's made by a company calledFlora and in the evening I brush
my teeth with them and I sleepwith you.
Know, I swallow them, I don'trinse my mouth, leave them in my
mouth and I wake up withexponentially less severe bad
breath in the morning Becausethey fight the rot bacteria,

(47:27):
because you don't swallow whenyou sleep, so they just eat and
multiply.
Well, they fight them, stealtheir food and outpopulate them.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Oh, I need to do that Because I wake up sometimes
like I'm all like dry mouth.
I don't know if I open my mouth.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
We call it a doodoo salesman with a mouth full of
samples.
Yeah, I don't know I wake up inthe morning like oh, what
happened?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, or I'd likethis.
Excuse me, honey, I want totalk to you, but I got to brush
my teeth first.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
Exactly, exactly.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Oh my God, but this has been an awesome conversation
.
I've learned so much from you.
I love it.
Yeah, and keep doing whatyou're doing, and I'll put all
your information here on thispodcast so everybody can see it,
and we'll touch again.

So the amplifier that youprovide to get information out
to people, it's huge, huge,important.
