In this transformative and deeply personal episode of the "Stuck In My Mind Podcast," host Wize El Jefe welcomes Georges Córdoba, a former chief technology officer turned holistic health coach, functional nutritionist, energy healer, speaker, and founder of Qualavita. Georges brings a remarkable story of survival, healing, and paradigm-shifting perspective on health—one forged through climbing life's toughest mountain: surviving stage 4 melanoma with brain metastasis.
The conversation begins with Wize El Jefe setting the stage, introducing Georges as someone who didn't just survive a decade-long battle with cancer marked by 10 surgeries—including multiple brain operations—but completely transformed his life thereafter. Georges Córdoba shares heartfelt gratitude for the chance to tell his story, marking this July as his 13th year cancer-free—a journey that ultimately led him into holistic health coaching.
Listeners are taken through the specifics of Georges' battle, starting as a CTO suddenly diagnosed with advanced melanoma, facing eight brain tumors, two of which were deemed inoperable. With Western medicine running out of answers, Georges describes reaching a pivotal breaking point—when the conventional treatments and financial strains became unbearable. Georges details his leap of faith into holistic modalities, from acupuncture to energy work, navigating doubt and surrender through faith and a search for discernment. The emotional depth comes alive as he describes moments of spiritual resilience in a chapel, praying for guidance amidst recurrence and uncertainty.
Conversation shifts to the big picture: the current health crisis in the United States. Drawing upon his speaking engagements and research from the American Cancer Society and Harvard School of Health, Georges offers sobering statistics—66% of US adults have at least one chronic disease, and obesity rates are soaring. He calls out the systemic issues, from the food industry’s questionable practices to the entrenched financial incentives in healthcare, arguing that the nation is plagued not only by poor nutrition and lifestyle, but also by a lack of preventative initiatives.
Wize El Jefe and Georges trade personal anecdotes about changes in society, food culture, and the normalization of processed foods. Their frank discussion exposes the convenience trap and its severe health consequences, comparing the eating habits of past decades with the fast-food norm of today.
Georges passionately explains his holistic health philosophy, which now encompasses functional nutrition, emotional healing, hypnosis, and energy work. He reflects on the hardest and most impactful practices to master, such as hypnotherapy, and debunks pervasive myths about disease and heredity. Drawing from the latest epigenetic science, he asserts that nearly all chronic illness originates in emotional distress, acidic/inflamed bodies, and unhealthy lifestyles—not genetics alone.
A core segment explores how most Americans eat too quickly and chew too little, leading to poor digestion and chronic health issues. Georges presents vivid metaphors and practical advice—slowing down, breathing deeply before meals, and chewing food thoroughly, so digestion can happen properly and health can be restored.
As Wize El Jefe shares his own journey of weight loss and improved well-being, the episode turns toward empowerment, resilience, and the actionable steps listeners can take. Georges outlines his program, Qualavita, which means “quality of life.” Through personalized coaching, group movements like his new Prevention Revolution, and forthcoming books, Georges aspires to help clients unlock vitality from within. His approach treats the whole person—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—drawing from wisdom traditions, modern science, and lived experience.
The episode is filled with practical guidance: from nutrition tips and emotional healing practices to mindsets that foster hope and transformation. Georges illustrates how faith, purpose, and consistent action are essential to healing, sharing inspiring testimonials and anecdotes from his own family and clients.
For listeners who may feel powerless battling disease, Georges delivers a powerful, compassionate message: healing happens from the inside out, and the answers for transformation are within. He shares the importance of believing in yourself, taking control of your choices, and seeking out supportive communities and resources. For those feeling lost after a diagnosis, Georges offers strategies for managing fear, advocating for yourself within the healthcare system, and using positive visualization to empower the mind and body toward healing.
As the episode closes, Georges shares where listeners can find him, access his bestselling book "Beating the Odds," and join his new programs for both prevention and healing. His advocacy: take action and start the jour

And welcome to another episode of Stuck in My Mind podcast.
I am your host wise and today's
guest has climbed one of life life's toughest peaks and
(00:53):
built a new life on the other side of it. Jorge
Cordoba is a former CTO who faced stage four for
melanoma with brain
metastasis, underwent 10 surgeries and survived. But he
didn't just survive, he transformed. He's now a holistic health coach,
speaker, functional functional nutritionist, energy
(01:15):
healer, and founder of Qualavita, meaning quality of life.
In this episode, George shares how he
redefined healing purpose and vital vitality.
And how you can. And how you can too. Welcome to the show.
How are you? Hi. How you doing? Gorgeous. And thank you for.
(01:38):
For having me as. As you guys. It's an honor.
I always. I love to share not only my story,
but hope and some of the stuff
I've learned since 13 years ago. This July was
my 13th, a year free of cancer.
And so and my
(02:01):
eighth year as a holistic health coach. Like you said, I
was a former chief technology officer when I was
inflicted with advanced melanoma with
eight brain tumors and two of them were not operable. So
we could discuss a little bit of what happened there.
You know, in lieu of that stuff,
(02:24):
I decided to write a book titled
Beating the My Journey through Holistic Health
to Overcome Advanced Cancer. And
it turned out to help me. That was on year eight. I
fought the disease for 10 years and I had 10 surgeries on me,
including four in the brain, two gamma knives in the
(02:47):
brain as well. That worked. But on two of the tumors, it
didn't work and that those tumors were not operable. They
were in my back lobe. So
it took faith and some other modalities, holistic
modalities, to get rid of them. And I can
say that very easily now, but it was a rough 10
(03:10):
years. Yeah. Like you said, you went
underwent 10 surgeries, including multiple brain operations.
At what point did you say that there must be another way?
Yeah, good question. Well, it was on
year eight when I was. When I had my first
(03:30):
cran on me. It went from ear to ear. It
took about eight hours to. To remove that
tumor. Thank God nothing happened in any of those four.
But it was then as I and
everybody else in the west, we are trained to.
To think that we only have one option, which is going to an
(03:52):
oncologist and do conventional stuff. And I found
out that is not the case. And. And
I probably would not be talking to you if I didn't make
this decision. Of stopping the stuff that was
not helping me. It doesn't help everyone.
And so I decided to take, with a
(04:15):
leap of faith, to take the norm, the natural route, the holistic
health route. And like I told you, it's been
13 years. Years in this past July,
but it was a year 8. After that craniotomy, they gave me
this. I was broke financially. My insurance was tapped
out. My wife and I had to, you know, we
(04:38):
had at the moment, five young children. We had to tap into the
college funds, our 401ks, our IRAs,
and even like that, you know, which is. Was a financial
tsunami. But at one point, like everybody else, because
I, I didn't think of anything else possible out there.
(05:00):
After this craniotomy, they gave me this, this new, quote,
unquote, chemotherapy that will penetrate the brain and it would help
me out. I also allowed them to. To
do six weeks of radiotherapy in my head.
Big, big mistake. But I didn't know better. And
so I accepted those pills. It was.
(05:22):
It was oral. It was capsules, by the way,
$1,000 each capsule. And it was.
Yeah, it was one. One day for a week. I
would take out the weekend off and then again one a day for a
week, and that for three weeks. That was the cycle. But on my sixth
one, my second Monday, and I took it
(05:43):
and I literally thought I was getting a heart attack. I
was all over the place. I was jumping from the roof, I guess,
and. Anxiety attack. My wife wasn't
there, the kids were in school. So I kind
of panicked. I. I do play the piano. I'm a pianist
as well as a tennis player. I don't know if you saw my bio,
(06:07):
but the bottom line is I
just finally lay down to try to, you know,
just lay out, lay down and wait for the stone to pass. It
did pass. My wife got home at that time and I. As I
was laying down, I started to think that that
was it. There's got to be other alternatives. I was just
(06:30):
tired of eight years of surgery, treatment, remission,
celebration. Yeah, I'm off. I'm off. Cancer and then
recurrence. So on year eight, it was the same,
the same stuff. And at that point, I already had
nine surgeries with the. And one craniotomy
on year eight, eight and a half. And
(06:53):
so, yeah, it was that experience. I
asked my, My wife to take me to church where
we're, you know, faithful people of faith. And
I just got there. I went to the chapel. The
church was closed. I went to the chapel and just Cried my butt off,
(07:13):
Will. And I just basically surrendered.
I surrendered to the process. And the one thing I was praying for
was discernment. I just said, well, these people are
trying to help me, but it seems like they don't know how.
And melanoma, which is what I had at that time,
(07:34):
was very unknown. It was unknown here.
And it is a very aggressive
formal cancer. And it's also very unpredictable. It could show up
and write on my lymph nodes, which is in the beginning,
that happened to me in both of my necks.
From each of the neck, they removed total of
(07:56):
45 lymph nodes in my
right, which is the second surgery I had. They
had to because there were three lymph nodes that they couldn't get to.
They sacrificed the muscle, an egg muscle here
and part of a nerve. And it
turns out that out of the 23 lymph nodes that they
(08:17):
extracted, those three were positive. So thank God they made
that decision. You know, at the end of the day, I was a very
lucky human being with that. And
frankly, if I wasn't, if I didn't have. If it wasn't for
the really real good surgeons that I have, especially the
neurosurgeon, I would not be talking to you now. Where I
(08:40):
have HABIF is in the form of
therapies that still are there and
they're very expensive. And there's a business between
that. I'm not afraid to say this at this point,
but yeah, the oncologists,
even with family doctors, they, they get the drugs at a
(09:04):
wholesale and they, they mark it up and,
and that. So the patient or the insurance company pays for us
until the insurance company runs out and then you're on your own. So
it wasn't. This is something that I don't
wish to anyone. But on the other hand, when I
look back 13 years ago and being
(09:27):
free of cancer by going for 18 months at that time
on the holistic route, I can see
now that as a blessing because God gave me the
chance to sing the song I was born to sing, which is what I've been
doing for eight years, helping people that are going through chronic
diseases, not only cancer, but my main, my
(09:49):
key and premium package, one on one, is for people with
cancer. However, I just started a
movement. It's called the prevention movement.
The state of health in our country is really
gloomy. We are the worst out of the
top 10 countries in the world. We are the sickest
(10:11):
66% of our nation. Today
I was, I was invited to speak in Vegas three months
ago. And they asked me, it was my second time there, they said,
can you bring the state of health of the US And I
said, for sure. And so when I was going through it, American
Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, the
(10:34):
Harvard school of health.
Wow. 66 of 166% of
US adults have one chronic disease right now.
40%, 44% of those
66 have one to four chronic diseases at
the same time. 146
(10:57):
million US adults are obese.
20% of those are chronically
obese. And 20% of kids
two to 18 years old are, are obese right
now. If we don't do anything, things don't change.
By 2030, around the corner, man,
(11:20):
half the nation will be obese. And that causes so many
other diseases. And you know what's frustrating, my
friend, is that no one, no one is doing
anything except now. And I really
pray that they don't try to get them out. But Bobby
Kennedy is doing a wonderful job trying to change that,
(11:42):
even working and, and trying to negotiate with farmers
that are really abusing us. I mean, I don't believe
there is a, a will they, they might say it, but if they,
if they find, they can't find it, by the way, and I'll tell you
why. But if they, they say, oh, we're going to find a cure for
cancer and this and that. No, cancer is not. I
(12:05):
mean, you can't do that. And if, if they
could, they wouldn't do it because they, their business goes down.
That's. This is the most lucrative business in the world. It
benefits the more for. To maintain, to keep and maintain
us. Unhealthy. Absolutely. Yeah, it definitely
benefits them the most. If, if that wasn't the case, they win
(12:28):
street. They wouldn't put half of the food that they put out there, especially
in our supermarkets. There's stuff that we sell in our supermarkets
that other countries won't even touch.
And they continue to out and
continue to feed us these, these foods. Like, I
remember growing up in the 70s and
(12:51):
80s, it was like we didn't eat McDonald's
every day. It was like maybe once in a, once a month or so when
your parents would be like, hey, for a treat,
you out to McDonald's or whatever. But now it's just
every day, every day. Eat McDonald's every day or fast food
(13:11):
every day. And, and it's just, it's convenience.
It's people like, I don't want to go cook or, and this.
And that's just this, this food that we're this processed food that we're eating is
this isn't healthy for us? Absolutely, yeah.
It's unfortunate, but that's a reality.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So
(13:34):
you made a full pivot into holistic health coaching, nutrition
energy work, hypnosis and more. Which practices were the hardest
to adapt and the most powerful to apply.
You know, they are all powerful. The thing
is that, you know, I, I didn't been
(13:55):
doing that to add more value to, to my services. And
like I say right now, actually
incidentally, after that talk in
Vegas, the keynote speaker there was.
Heard me heard my, my, my talk and
it was 10 of us doing 15 minute talks and then he did
(14:17):
an hour, an hour keynote on, on the
final day. But he, I spoke right before
him until people have behold for him. And he's. When I went
down, he said man, your story is amazing. You get
to keep, you got to keep up there on stages and, and, and
say what you know. I know that if you have the whole hour you can
(14:40):
really teach what's what happened with you and
what you did. So the hardest one of
them was the hypnotherapy.
You know, rapid transformational therapy. And it was because it was
more clinical but the
case, the use cases, man, really I was so
(15:03):
excited to, to be able to add that to my
protocol. But at the end of the day the most important
thing is to let prospects and clients let
people know that
all disease, diseases, chronic diseases are not
hereditary. That's one, one big myth people think that is.
(15:25):
Oh and they still. This is, this is all dictated
by, by you know, the ph starts with ph
that they say do you have diabetes in the family? Do you have
cancer in the family? Do you have this in the family? This
diseases, these diseases are not hereditary
lifestyle. And here is something that you guys in
(15:47):
the audience and you yourself will need to know. This
is, this might be new for you. Some of you maybe some of you know
it all disease. They all, all
diseases are emotional and they all start
without exception on bodies that are
acidic, inflamed bodies. We have too much acidity in the
(16:08):
body and that's caused by
stress, emotional clutter that we carry and
our diet and also not only our diet, but
how fast we. Even though you were mentioning McDonald's and all
this food when they were this new trend of
food, you know, fast food and all this stuff that really was the
(16:30):
beginning of our, of
how this nation is so sick right now.
Because here's something that you must know. The
average US Adult
choose six times before they swallow
only six times. And the stomach is not
(16:52):
designed. As a nutritionist, I actually
specialize on the digestive tract and the big vagus nerve.
We're not that we're not designed. This beautiful
divine design is, is not for somebody to just
swallow so fast and just dump all this stuff into, into the
stomach. We supposed to chew at least 20,
(17:15):
depending on the food, at least 20 times. The reason for
that is that digestion starts in our mouth. Our saliva
enzymes are, they're their whole.
The goal for them is to process the food before
we swallow so the stomach can do its job. But if we don't
process that in our mouth, the stomach has no other
(17:38):
option but to pour that into fat, which
eventually it becomes acidic. But not
only that, because we had an interrupted digestion,
about half hour later you're hungry again and there goes the
loop. And then you go and get a unhealthy snack or
whatever and the same thing, you eat it in no time.
(17:59):
And so you. We are the ones that
get ourselves sick. There's no, no
hereditary. This is something that was found 15 years
ago with epigenetics, but nobody says anything.
They just, they just keep it quiet. So everybody continues to
get sick and they can. And all the doctors have, have the license to sell
(18:22):
us drugs. And then we are, we become
addicted to them. We. It just. And
you know, I have some history, some stories in this eight years
when it's really. And I, and particularly one now
an ex client of mine, she really did not
follow through with all the stuff that, that we, that she learned with me.
(18:45):
And, and now after, you
know, so much stuff trying with the doctors, they
finally opened her up last
Wednesday and they send her home. They said, no, we cannot do anything
else, so try something else. Or you're telling me now,
seven years later, millions of hundreds of thousands of
(19:08):
dollars later, and you say that you can't do anything for me.
You know how many times that happens? Over 6, 50% of
the time. So it's time to really wake up.
One thing that is positive though, real quick is that
youngsters are really, because of all the
information that is out there and in actually the
(19:30):
positivity of, of AI, if you use it as a,
as a, a system, they're learning, they're,
they're really learning about some stuff that they were kind of like
status quo. And right now they're saying, hey, wait a minute. And my kids, for
example, they say, wow, that stopped that stuff. And so they
can't stop telling people, you know, hey, you know, my dad stop
(19:53):
and survive. The other five that started with him
didn't make it, so. Yeah,
yeah. So
Qualavita means quality of life. What does that look like, day
to day for someone rebuilding health. Can
you repeat that? I'm sorry. What does
(20:15):
that look like day to day for someone rebuilding their health?
Well, great question. The, the
whole thing with rebuilding the, the health,
it's easier than many people think because once you,
once you understand that you have the power to healing from the inside
(20:36):
out, which is really what happens. We have that power.
And now as a hypnotherapist, I can tell you everything
is in your subconscious mind, not in your conscious mind.
So when you go out down there and you clear the clutter that you've
been building since you were born, in many cases you're in your
mother's womb, you know, then all of a
(20:59):
sudden you, you have this reframe and this transformation.
And then with some guidance and methodology,
within two or three months, they see amazing
differences in them themselves. With all the energy they're getting
and, and the work that we do with the mind,
they have this confidence. So now all of a sudden, as they
(21:22):
feeling better, they're saying they keep that word of
life. This guy was right. If you do the work,
remember this. For, for many in, in many
of the avatars, but the old, in the New Testament,
one of the apostles said, do not deceive
yourselves. Show me your faith with your
(21:44):
actions. Because faith without action is dead. And
so that goes to individ us individually.
I took my faith and put it into action and I
started to look for other venues and
I never, I always said this is, this can be happening.
You bless me with five beautiful kids, they're all
(22:07):
young, and now you're taking me. This doesn't make
sense. And I kept saying that. So the
answer in a nutshell is
the client realizes and starts building confidence
and self worthiness as they go week to week
and doing the work that I give them weekly because we have to take action,
(22:30):
action steps. And what happens
typically that in, in a month and a half, maybe a little
more than that, they start realizing that, I
don't know, should I keep going with this, this chemo and
stuff? I mean, I'm. I'm feeling so well because
here, well, this is something that I get
(22:52):
asked a lot of times. What does holistic health mean?
Well, holistic health means treating the entire
being, not only the symptom or the disease. And the entire
being is your physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual self. That's a holistic. And so
we try. I, I, I use the metaphor of the four legs
(23:15):
of the table. One of the legs is your physical self, the other one
is your emotional, the other one is your mental, and the other one is your
soul. We have to work. If one of those is missing, the
table cannot stand. So the entire approach
is different than just the symptom. But
what I found though, is for, because of, you
(23:37):
know, the, the mind has the 13 rules of the mind.
There's 13 rules of our powerful mind. And
one of them is that the mind goes to what is familiar.
And for all of us, what's familiar when we get a
chronic disease, especially cancer, is to go to an oncologist and
oncologist. No other questions in our mind. There's no other possibility
(24:00):
because we're familiar to go there. But I added to that quote
and I say, but the key, the key to
healing is to explore the unknown, which is
what I did. I started going with faith. Obviously, no
competition. Faith, faith and purpose. Let me find out
what, what venues are there for me to try.
(24:22):
And I got into acupuncture, massage therapy,
energy work, Reiki, which later I became a Reiki
teacher and practitioner with my wife. We both
had different careers, but my disease made us change. So,
yeah, the whole thing is
(24:43):
it's a process, but it's a positive process. And once
they see the initial results, they get so
motivated to continue to do this stuff and say, why didn't
anybody teach me this? Why do all
I see on TV is a beautiful, or a guy with a
six pack eating a triple Whopper and this and that, or having a
(25:05):
beer and, you know, and the ladies, you know, why, why do they do
that? What is the, what is the purpose behind that? The
illusional happiness. And, and then, then, you know, it's crazy,
but, you know, that has a negative impact on all of us.
Yeah.
(25:25):
So, so what, what role does mindset, emotional healing and
forgiveness play in the transformation your clients have
to do? And you have some great questions.
Will I like it? Yeah, big. Like I told
you, the, the holistic self is, is, is the key.
And the role, for example, with emotions, which
(25:48):
is really the root cause along with all the acidity
that we create ourselves with, with the way we eat. We eat
fast and, and then we, we're anxious, we get
anger, maybe in traffic or whatever. All the stuff
produces cortisol and, and that's what
makes our bodies acidic. So
(26:10):
let's start with it first of all, with the, Let me give you, like
Two minutes on each of the legs of the table. The, the physical body. The
first thing I do is as a nutritionist. I, I help
my, my clients. We do a gut test
and I haven't do a stool sample
(26:30):
that I don't charge for that, but I tell them where to do this.
And so we get results about, you
know, what kind of foods really they should stay away for.
That's not, it's not about allergy, but what they do
to their metabolism and their gut because
everything starts in, in our stomachs, in our gut. So we do
(26:52):
that first and then we go through a practical
way of eating. We're not talking about types
of foods right now because this is the first thing they learn
is in terms of Nutrition and digestion,
25% will is what you eat,
(27:12):
but 75 is who you are when you're eating.
And most people eating only 10 minutes, even though if they're
employed, they have a whole hour. But they, it's fast because they
want to go and do errands or whatever. That's a no, no. You
do that every day in breakfast, lunch, dinner,
or you're already home, but you do it twice a day. Within,
(27:34):
you know, 20 years, some or more or maybe less,
your body will send you a medical bill, say, hey man, you got a
chronic disease, you have this or that. Because we do that
to ourselves, we have to slow down. We have to make sure
we trick our nervous system, that
we are relaxed when we're eating. So I do some practical
(27:57):
stuff. I give them some documents where they can realize,
oh my goodness, yeah, and we
make it fun. For example, let's say you having a very,
very healthy lunch at a park, and then
all of a sudden you see this pit bull running to you. And you see,
you can feel the intentions. So you have two choices.
(28:20):
Fight that, this animal, or flight. But
you're eating. So at that moment when you make your decision to,
you know, run and your body, your
digestion freezes and everything goes to,
to natural cortisol, you know,
adrenaline and cortisol to go away and
(28:41):
save your life or save to being beaten. And.
But the thing is your, your
nervous system does not know if it's a, if it was a
pit bull or if you were stressed in traffic or you had an argument with
somebody, a friend or whatever. It doesn't know. It just knows that
you are producing cortisol and you're not relaxed,
(29:03):
so your digestion does not go well.
So there are tricks to do that. And actually when
you become, it becomes A habit. So that's why my program
is not only like a week or two, the shortest I have is
three months. But as you start changing some of the
habits and learning that, let's say you may
(29:26):
have already had a discussion with your, with your partner, business
partner or somebody in the office, and you're gonna go to eat
well, take a couple deep breaths before. When they put the plate on in front
of you, take two or three deep breaths
and what's gonna happen is that then you trick your nervous system to say,
oh, Will, it's relaxed now. Let's have a good digestion now.
(29:50):
And then on top of that, I say, and remember, eat slower,
chew more, take at least 20 minutes for your
meal. And when they starting to do that and see the difference
in how they feel, how they sleep, their energy.
And the more energy you have, the more motivated
you are to heal yourself or to pre disease. Yeah,
(30:14):
yeah, yeah. It's definitely, it's definitely a big I,
I, It's a bit. I, I've had
massive weight loss and then I,
I feel the difference from
last year to this year. Wow. And
so, yeah, it's like I lost like a complete body off of
(30:36):
me and just the energy, just
the way I move. Like there's so much going
on. Like, I no longer have to take my blood pressure
medication, no longer have to take
Metformin because. Not because I, I've had to
switch up my diet. I've had to switch up what I eat, how I eat,
(30:57):
chewing my food properly, spending more time chewing, learning how to chew
and. Exactly. So it's, yeah, it's something that
we, we as we don't. It's something we don't do. We're
always constantly eating fast. Like we're eating.
Like we don't get to sit down and, and properly digest our food.
(31:18):
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.
So do you. What's,
what's next for you and Qualavita? New programs?
Outreach books? Yes, yes. I'm. I'm actually
probably going to launch my second book in December.
(31:38):
It's the title of Stop and Smell the Roses. In other words,
slow down and see the beauty of Mother Earth and
enjoy it, because time flies. Look, we
almost at the end of the year and it's going to come
to a point in our lives that we're going to look back and say, what,
what did I do? What? You know, I.
(32:00):
And it's interesting because I, I did some voluntary
work in hospices with Kindred Hospice, my wife and
I. And the common denominator is man, If I had 10
years of me, I would take it easy and do the things
that I always said I wanted to do. And why not? Why
didn't they? And that's, that is tough, man. That's
(32:22):
amazing. And I, I was asked, I heard somebody at
Larry King, remember Larry King, you know, he,
he was introducing this gentleman and one of the questions, I forgot
the name of the guy, but yeah, he said, he,
Larry asked him if he was afraid of dying.
And he said, well, no, I'm not
(32:45):
afraid of dying. What I'm afraid of is leaving
this planet without having done what I was supposed to do.
And that's another issue all around.
The next thing is the book. And two weeks ago
I launched my Prevention
Revolution program, which is not a cohort program, it's a
(33:08):
rolling program and it's all
about preventing. There's already eight
people in the program. Two of them are still
lingering with one with type 2
diabetes, the other one with breast cancer. But
they're on the way out of it. Not
(33:30):
that they're leaving the planet out of their situation. Yeah. And so
I accept them because what. This protocol is very similar than the one
I do for, for the one on one cancer premium,
you know, thing which is a whole year. And,
and I'm very excited about this because my,
my whole thing now is, you know, if you want a
(33:53):
five. For example. I was in Toronto
a month and a half. I'm sorry this is in Colorado on, in
August. And I asked if there's
somebody in the, in the crowd that was going through cancer
or, or any chronic disease. And two people raised
(34:14):
their hand. It was a small crowd, I think 70 people. They had it
online as well. Screen string streamed online
and the one. The event plan or when he
finished, when, when I finished. She's an amazing speaker
and she asked me, so you do one on ones,
right? It says imagine if you, instead of asking
(34:37):
who here has cancer or any other chronic disease, you
ask who here would like to avoid. Just share their
stats and say who here would like to avoid being part of that
statistic? Or if you are just get rid of
that. Everybody will raise their hand. So that, that is what
motivated me to say, wow, let me, let me put this
(34:59):
one on once into a group. But it's all about
prevention. So we can actually stop. Really.
It's my advocacy now to stop the statistics. Reverse
them, man, before we, we become just a,
an ill nation. You know, 66%. We have to
reverse that or at least stop the, the
(35:21):
damage. So that's what's next to quality
time. So excited about it because now
instead of 101 which I have a, a limit
or I burn out, I can help many more people
and actually obviously at the end of the day it helps my business
as well because I'm now doing more people
(35:45):
and and you know the, the whole thing too
is continuing to learn. I mean I'm always on the look about
and doing courses on, on you know
different, different modalities, new modalities in, in
nutrition and obviously continue to, to
be in touch with the, the hypnotherapist group
(36:07):
which is. It's called rapid transformational Therapy. They're, they're based
in London so it's just continuing
to learn and sing in the song I was born to sing which is
helping people man and giving them hope.
Awesome. Amazing. Yeah, that's great. So
for someone who's someone listening who's battling disease,
(36:29):
feeling power, powerless what's your message?
Well, gosh, there's so many but
no one my friend. First of all
healing happens from the inside out. It's hard to understand
that when we've been trained
(36:49):
otherwise. But there's like I said
there's another 12 rules of the mind not the one that I share.
And and then there's a quote that really
changed my life when I when I was really
wondering because you do, you do wonder and you have self sabotage
when you're going through a mountain the size of a cancer
(37:12):
or any other chronic disease. You know it could be
arthritis painful, you know anything. No one
will believe in you until you believe in
you. And the answers
are within. Not from the outside, not in
the media, not in books. It's inside. And if
(37:35):
you don't give time for you to being in still
time because we seem to think that some that
we have to run since we wake up if we don't
stop and smell the roses we don't stop
and breathe and give ourselves a chance
to be creative before we start the day.
(37:58):
You definitely will have some sort of a
health issue in the future. If you want to know more about
this if you. If you permit me you can reach
out to me. I'm actually changing my website but you can.
You can email me at Georges
(38:19):
is your health.com I will share some links
with you will I would like to give your you and your
audience. I give away an ebook
that I wrote about how to balance your
ph, how to take acidity out of your body
so you can prevent disease and if you have it you
(38:40):
eliminate you're Eliminating the environment, the acidity. And
so that with a little bit of, of help
emotionally, you're gonna be. You will not
even get a cold. And if you're sick, like I say, you're
destroying the environment that the cells strive to
duplicate in which is an acidic body.
(39:09):
Looking back, if you could tell that scared patient
you one thing, what would it be?
You know, it's mindset,
it's attitude, it's knowing that
you created your situation.
(39:31):
No one else, no one to blame your parents or
anyone. It's you, it's. Yeah. Your ways, your,
you know, it's. I, I have a colleague that also
went natural and survived. He actually didn't even have a round of
chemo and he, he was 23 and,
and you know, I guess the family, his wife, he stood
(39:53):
up his oncologist for the first chemotherapy
session. He never went, he had the surgery. It was colon cancer.
He never looked back. And he has a
quote that I have in my best selling book, by the way. I, My
first language is Spanish, but I launched the book in English.
The Beating the odds in 2021,
(40:15):
January, and it became bestseller day one in my
general. And then in April, in St. George's Day,
I, I launched it in Spanish and he did also Almost
at Midnight, but it did make it as a bestseller on
day one. Now the, the thing about,
you know, this, the question about as a patient,
(40:39):
what, what my feelings were. Well, nobody, especially with
cancer, nobody wants to hear that diagnosis. We were humans
and even Jesus was scared when he knew what was
coming to him as a human. And
so I learned that. And like I said, I do a lot of reading and,
and other, other avatars in, in the Hinduism and,
(41:01):
and, and you know, I'm very open to spirituality because
it's one source and, but the thing that I
recommend to everyone that just heard the diagnosis
is to, to understand that it didn't
happen to you for some reason, it
happened for you. You have an opportunity here to,
(41:24):
to, to grow and say, wow, wait a minute, I wasn't even
caring about anything. And now all of a sudden my life is the most important
thing. Of course it is, but this is a wake up call.
This guy, you know, that I told
you I quoted my book and he says, hey,
cancer is a divine touch of the shoulder.
(41:48):
And that touch in the shoulder has a message.
And that message is, hey, you have to change your
ways because you're killing yourself.
And so that's easy to say now, but I was
an emotional roller coaster the first two or three weeks of
my diagnosis and also because I was already quite
(42:11):
advanced and I had no idea because melanoma, you don't
feel any. Anything. It's just killing you and you don't know.
And. But the other thing is your attitude
and learning how to manage your disease. If
you. And I don't blame you if you just go straight to an
oncologist, get, you know, interview the person I have,
(42:34):
for example, and I can quote, I can actually share this in
case somebody's going through cancer. A questioner that you
can ask the doctor. He's your employee. You are, you're hiring this
person to help you. Ask him the questions you want to know.
Ask him how many people with the medicine that you're going to
get are still alive. And if you can talk to them if they,
(42:56):
they've been alive for five years, why Being scared of asking
that. Ask them if it is true
that they get the chemo at one of one price and they
mark it up. Ask him. Don't be afraid to do that because
you deserve to know who's gonna
have in a way your life in their hands.
(43:19):
So you know, just do that. And, and then the other thing that I did
is I avoided the fear energy. So
when I was, when it was my time to go for my
appointment, I would already I, I did it
from almost the second week. I said, I told the practitioner,
Christina is her name. I say, look, I'm
(43:42):
gonna be waiting in the hospital's yard. This is in, in South
Miami and Jackson Memorial,
the Sylvester Cancer Center. And so she
said okay. So she would, she would actually text me
or actually beat me at that time. So
to let me know that I was next. So I will go at that point.
(44:06):
So I wouldn't. I avoid waiting for half hour or so in
that energy of fear that caregivers the patient
because it's normal. But you don't want to be fed with that. You want to
be fed with positivity and,
and knowing that you have the power from within.
So on the phys. On the mental side
(44:29):
is learning visualizations and, and
doing some exercises that I work with my clients and
I teach them and I customize them for them. Where you
can see how this divine line or whatever you
choose is taking all the tumors in your
body and melting them away, sending them back to
(44:51):
be recycled to in Mother Earth. And
that's so powerful. The mind learns by
repetition, my friends. The mind that doesn't know
if what you're saying is true or false and that definitely does not
know about Tomorrow or yesterday, it only knows
what it is today. So if today you say I'm
(45:13):
healed, you know, you probably won't believe it yet.
Your, your ego is gonna say, come on, George, you're saying you heal,
man, you, you know, but I guarantee you, if
you practice these visualizations and you affirm on a
daily basis that you're healed, your so conscious, your
conscious mind is standing the machinery guys out there that
(45:36):
don't know but to stake orders, oh man, you know,
Will is saying that he's healed, so let's act on it
because it, it must, it is the present
moment. I'm healed. And I guarantee you
that you will experience some transformations in your lives.
Whoever it might be ill at this moment, but if
(45:58):
you do it even before that I'm healthy, I'm being
thankful, grateful for your health. You're going to get more
of what you're grateful for. That's a universal divine law.
The more you're thankful for something, the more you get of.
Seems so simple, huh? But we don't have the mindset
or somebody to teach us that and hold us accountable.
(46:21):
And that's really where coaches, people like me
really are here to do. And I, I have so many wonderful
colleagues doing this, a couple of ladies,
several guys. You know, in most, the common
denominator is that we're survivors. We were cancer survivors.
(46:41):
Yeah. All right, George, we've come to the
part of the show where you're gonna get the solo screen and you're gonna get
to plug away and let everybody else know where they can find you. Thank
you so much for being such a wonderful guest. I, I, I greatly
appreciate your patience with the technical difficulties we had earlier,
but thank you so much. But now, here you go, here's the screen. And then.
(47:04):
And just plug away. Yeah. And yeah,
I understand about the technology because I was a CTO and I
worked, I studied computer science. So for me it's nothing new.
But anyway, yeah, again, I
have a new program I love to have. If you want to have
a clarity session complimentary, you can reach
(47:27):
me out via email at this moment because my
website is being updated and if I give you the URL, it's
going to crash. So you can email me to Georges with it
as G E O R g e s@ is your
health.com and I will send you a
calendar calendly link for you to,
(47:50):
to schedule a call with me.
And I guarantee you, especially with this prevention
program, if you are a caregiver
and kind of are worried about maybe getting
inflicted with any of these diseases. This is
the program for you. If you're going through cancer or any other
(48:12):
crisis diseases, let's talk it is complementary
and then you know, no cells. It's just so you know all the
different things that you can get your hands into.

And welcome to another episode of Stuck in My Mind podcast.
I am your host wise and today's
guest has climbed one of life life's toughest peaks and
(00:53):
built a new life on the other side of it. Jorge
Cordoba is a former CTO who faced stage four for
melanoma with brain
metastasis, underwent 10 surgeries and survived. But he
didn't just survive, he transformed. He's now a holistic health coach,
speaker, functional functional nutritionist, energy
(01:15):
healer, and founder of Qualavita, meaning quality of life.
In this episode, George shares how he
redefined healing purpose and vital vitality.
And how you can. And how you can too. Welcome to the show.
How are you? Hi. How you doing? Gorgeous. And thank you for.
(01:38):
For having me as. As you guys. It's an honor.
I always. I love to share not only my story,
but hope and some of the stuff
I've learned since 13 years ago. This July was
my 13th, a year free of cancer.
And so and my
(02:01):
eighth year as a holistic health coach. Like you said, I
was a former chief technology officer when I was
inflicted with advanced melanoma with
eight brain tumors and two of them were not operable. So
we could discuss a little bit of what happened there.
You know, in lieu of that stuff,
(02:24):
I decided to write a book titled
Beating the My Journey through Holistic Health
to Overcome Advanced Cancer. And
it turned out to help me. That was on year eight. I
fought the disease for 10 years and I had 10 surgeries on me,
including four in the brain, two gamma knives in the
(02:47):
brain as well. That worked. But on two of the tumors, it
didn't work and that those tumors were not operable. They
were in my back lobe. So
it took faith and some other modalities, holistic
modalities, to get rid of them. And I can
say that very easily now, but it was a rough 10
(03:10):
years. Yeah. Like you said, you went
underwent 10 surgeries, including multiple brain operations.
At what point did you say that there must be another way?
Yeah, good question. Well, it was on
year eight when I was. When I had my first
(03:30):
cran on me. It went from ear to ear. It
took about eight hours to. To remove that
tumor. Thank God nothing happened in any of those four.
But it was then as I and
everybody else in the west, we are trained to.
To think that we only have one option, which is going to an
(03:52):
oncologist and do conventional stuff. And I found
out that is not the case. And. And
I probably would not be talking to you if I didn't make
this decision. Of stopping the stuff that was
not helping me. It doesn't help everyone.
And so I decided to take, with a
(04:15):
leap of faith, to take the norm, the natural route, the holistic
health route. And like I told you, it's been
13 years. Years in this past July,
but it was a year 8. After that craniotomy, they gave me
this. I was broke financially. My insurance was tapped
out. My wife and I had to, you know, we
(04:38):
had at the moment, five young children. We had to tap into the
college funds, our 401ks, our IRAs,
and even like that, you know, which is. Was a financial
tsunami. But at one point, like everybody else, because
I, I didn't think of anything else possible out there.
(05:00):
After this craniotomy, they gave me this, this new, quote,
unquote, chemotherapy that will penetrate the brain and it would help
me out. I also allowed them to. To
do six weeks of radiotherapy in my head.
Big, big mistake. But I didn't know better. And
so I accepted those pills. It was.
(05:22):
It was oral. It was capsules, by the way,
$1,000 each capsule. And it was.
Yeah, it was one. One day for a week. I
would take out the weekend off and then again one a day for a
week, and that for three weeks. That was the cycle. But on my sixth
one, my second Monday, and I took it
(05:43):
and I literally thought I was getting a heart attack. I
was all over the place. I was jumping from the roof, I guess,
and. Anxiety attack. My wife wasn't
there, the kids were in school. So I kind
of panicked. I. I do play the piano. I'm a pianist
as well as a tennis player. I don't know if you saw my bio,
(06:07):
but the bottom line is I
just finally lay down to try to, you know,
just lay out, lay down and wait for the stone to pass. It
did pass. My wife got home at that time and I. As I
was laying down, I started to think that that
was it. There's got to be other alternatives. I was just
(06:30):
tired of eight years of surgery, treatment, remission,
celebration. Yeah, I'm off. I'm off. Cancer and then
recurrence. So on year eight, it was the same,
the same stuff. And at that point, I already had
nine surgeries with the. And one craniotomy
on year eight, eight and a half. And
(06:53):
so, yeah, it was that experience. I
asked my, My wife to take me to church where
we're, you know, faithful people of faith. And
I just got there. I went to the chapel. The
church was closed. I went to the chapel and just Cried my butt off,
(07:13):
Will. And I just basically surrendered.
I surrendered to the process. And the one thing I was praying for
was discernment. I just said, well, these people are
trying to help me, but it seems like they don't know how.
And melanoma, which is what I had at that time,
(07:34):
was very unknown. It was unknown here.
And it is a very aggressive
formal cancer. And it's also very unpredictable. It could show up
and write on my lymph nodes, which is in the beginning,
that happened to me in both of my necks.
From each of the neck, they removed total of
(07:56):
45 lymph nodes in my
right, which is the second surgery I had. They
had to because there were three lymph nodes that they couldn't get to.
They sacrificed the muscle, an egg muscle here
and part of a nerve. And it
turns out that out of the 23 lymph nodes that they
(08:17):
extracted, those three were positive. So thank God they made
that decision. You know, at the end of the day, I was a very
lucky human being with that. And
frankly, if I wasn't, if I didn't have. If it wasn't for
the really real good surgeons that I have, especially the
neurosurgeon, I would not be talking to you now. Where I
(08:40):
have HABIF is in the form of
therapies that still are there and
they're very expensive. And there's a business between
that. I'm not afraid to say this at this point,
but yeah, the oncologists,
even with family doctors, they, they get the drugs at a
(09:04):
wholesale and they, they mark it up and,
and that. So the patient or the insurance company pays for us
until the insurance company runs out and then you're on your own. So
it wasn't. This is something that I don't
wish to anyone. But on the other hand, when I
look back 13 years ago and being
(09:27):
free of cancer by going for 18 months at that time
on the holistic route, I can see
now that as a blessing because God gave me the
chance to sing the song I was born to sing, which is what I've been
doing for eight years, helping people that are going through chronic
diseases, not only cancer, but my main, my
(09:49):
key and premium package, one on one, is for people with
cancer. However, I just started a
movement. It's called the prevention movement.
The state of health in our country is really
gloomy. We are the worst out of the
top 10 countries in the world. We are the sickest
(10:11):
66% of our nation. Today
I was, I was invited to speak in Vegas three months
ago. And they asked me, it was my second time there, they said,
can you bring the state of health of the US And I
said, for sure. And so when I was going through it, American
Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, the
(10:34):
Harvard school of health.
Wow. 66 of 166% of
US adults have one chronic disease right now.
40%, 44% of those
66 have one to four chronic diseases at
the same time. 146
(10:57):
million US adults are obese.
20% of those are chronically
obese. And 20% of kids
two to 18 years old are, are obese right
now. If we don't do anything, things don't change.
By 2030, around the corner, man,
(11:20):
half the nation will be obese. And that causes so many
other diseases. And you know what's frustrating, my
friend, is that no one, no one is doing
anything except now. And I really
pray that they don't try to get them out. But Bobby
Kennedy is doing a wonderful job trying to change that,
(11:42):
even working and, and trying to negotiate with farmers
that are really abusing us. I mean, I don't believe
there is a, a will they, they might say it, but if they,
if they find, they can't find it, by the way, and I'll tell you
why. But if they, they say, oh, we're going to find a cure for
cancer and this and that. No, cancer is not. I
(12:05):
mean, you can't do that. And if, if they
could, they wouldn't do it because they, their business goes down.
That's. This is the most lucrative business in the world. It
benefits the more for. To maintain, to keep and maintain
us. Unhealthy. Absolutely. Yeah, it definitely
benefits them the most. If, if that wasn't the case, they win
(12:28):
street. They wouldn't put half of the food that they put out there, especially
in our supermarkets. There's stuff that we sell in our supermarkets
that other countries won't even touch.
And they continue to out and
continue to feed us these, these foods. Like, I
remember growing up in the 70s and
(12:51):
80s, it was like we didn't eat McDonald's
every day. It was like maybe once in a, once a month or so when
your parents would be like, hey, for a treat,
you out to McDonald's or whatever. But now it's just
every day, every day. Eat McDonald's every day or fast food
(13:11):
every day. And, and it's just, it's convenience.
It's people like, I don't want to go cook or, and this.
And that's just this, this food that we're this processed food that we're eating is
this isn't healthy for us? Absolutely, yeah.
It's unfortunate, but that's a reality.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So
(13:34):
you made a full pivot into holistic health coaching, nutrition
energy work, hypnosis and more. Which practices were the hardest
to adapt and the most powerful to apply.
You know, they are all powerful. The thing
is that, you know, I, I didn't been
(13:55):
doing that to add more value to, to my services. And
like I say right now, actually
incidentally, after that talk in
Vegas, the keynote speaker there was.
Heard me heard my, my, my talk and
it was 10 of us doing 15 minute talks and then he did
(14:17):
an hour, an hour keynote on, on the
final day. But he, I spoke right before
him until people have behold for him. And he's. When I went
down, he said man, your story is amazing. You get
to keep, you got to keep up there on stages and, and, and
say what you know. I know that if you have the whole hour you can
(14:40):
really teach what's what happened with you and
what you did. So the hardest one of
them was the hypnotherapy.
You know, rapid transformational therapy. And it was because it was
more clinical but the
case, the use cases, man, really I was so
(15:03):
excited to, to be able to add that to my
protocol. But at the end of the day the most important
thing is to let prospects and clients let
people know that
all disease, diseases, chronic diseases are not
hereditary. That's one, one big myth people think that is.
(15:25):
Oh and they still. This is, this is all dictated
by, by you know, the ph starts with ph
that they say do you have diabetes in the family? Do you have
cancer in the family? Do you have this in the family? This
diseases, these diseases are not hereditary
lifestyle. And here is something that you guys in
(15:47):
the audience and you yourself will need to know. This
is, this might be new for you. Some of you maybe some of you know
it all disease. They all, all
diseases are emotional and they all start
without exception on bodies that are
acidic, inflamed bodies. We have too much acidity in the
(16:08):
body and that's caused by
stress, emotional clutter that we carry and
our diet and also not only our diet, but
how fast we. Even though you were mentioning McDonald's and all
this food when they were this new trend of
food, you know, fast food and all this stuff that really was the
(16:30):
beginning of our, of
how this nation is so sick right now.
Because here's something that you must know. The
average US Adult
choose six times before they swallow
only six times. And the stomach is not
(16:52):
designed. As a nutritionist, I actually
specialize on the digestive tract and the big vagus nerve.
We're not that we're not designed. This beautiful
divine design is, is not for somebody to just
swallow so fast and just dump all this stuff into, into the
stomach. We supposed to chew at least 20,
(17:15):
depending on the food, at least 20 times. The reason for
that is that digestion starts in our mouth. Our saliva
enzymes are, they're their whole.
The goal for them is to process the food before
we swallow so the stomach can do its job. But if we don't
process that in our mouth, the stomach has no other
(17:38):
option but to pour that into fat, which
eventually it becomes acidic. But not
only that, because we had an interrupted digestion,
about half hour later you're hungry again and there goes the
loop. And then you go and get a unhealthy snack or
whatever and the same thing, you eat it in no time.
(17:59):
And so you. We are the ones that
get ourselves sick. There's no, no
hereditary. This is something that was found 15 years
ago with epigenetics, but nobody says anything.
They just, they just keep it quiet. So everybody continues to
get sick and they can. And all the doctors have, have the license to sell
(18:22):
us drugs. And then we are, we become
addicted to them. We. It just. And
you know, I have some history, some stories in this eight years
when it's really. And I, and particularly one now
an ex client of mine, she really did not
follow through with all the stuff that, that we, that she learned with me.
(18:45):
And, and now after, you
know, so much stuff trying with the doctors, they
finally opened her up last
Wednesday and they send her home. They said, no, we cannot do anything
else, so try something else. Or you're telling me now,
seven years later, millions of hundreds of thousands of
(19:08):
dollars later, and you say that you can't do anything for me.
You know how many times that happens? Over 6, 50% of
the time. So it's time to really wake up.
One thing that is positive though, real quick is that
youngsters are really, because of all the
information that is out there and in actually the
(19:30):
positivity of, of AI, if you use it as a,
as a, a system, they're learning, they're,
they're really learning about some stuff that they were kind of like
status quo. And right now they're saying, hey, wait a minute. And my kids, for
example, they say, wow, that stopped that stuff. And so they
can't stop telling people, you know, hey, you know, my dad stop
(19:53):
and survive. The other five that started with him
didn't make it, so. Yeah,
yeah. So
Qualavita means quality of life. What does that look like, day
to day for someone rebuilding health. Can
you repeat that? I'm sorry. What does
(20:15):
that look like day to day for someone rebuilding their health?
Well, great question. The, the
whole thing with rebuilding the, the health,
it's easier than many people think because once you,
once you understand that you have the power to healing from the inside
(20:36):
out, which is really what happens. We have that power.
And now as a hypnotherapist, I can tell you everything
is in your subconscious mind, not in your conscious mind.
So when you go out down there and you clear the clutter that you've
been building since you were born, in many cases you're in your
mother's womb, you know, then all of a
(20:59):
sudden you, you have this reframe and this transformation.
And then with some guidance and methodology,
within two or three months, they see amazing
differences in them themselves. With all the energy they're getting
and, and the work that we do with the mind,
they have this confidence. So now all of a sudden, as they
(21:22):
feeling better, they're saying they keep that word of
life. This guy was right. If you do the work,
remember this. For, for many in, in many
of the avatars, but the old, in the New Testament,
one of the apostles said, do not deceive
yourselves. Show me your faith with your
(21:44):
actions. Because faith without action is dead. And
so that goes to individ us individually.
I took my faith and put it into action and I
started to look for other venues and
I never, I always said this is, this can be happening.
You bless me with five beautiful kids, they're all
(22:07):
young, and now you're taking me. This doesn't make
sense. And I kept saying that. So the
answer in a nutshell is
the client realizes and starts building confidence
and self worthiness as they go week to week
and doing the work that I give them weekly because we have to take action,
(22:30):
action steps. And what happens
typically that in, in a month and a half, maybe a little
more than that, they start realizing that, I
don't know, should I keep going with this, this chemo and
stuff? I mean, I'm. I'm feeling so well because
here, well, this is something that I get
(22:52):
asked a lot of times. What does holistic health mean?
Well, holistic health means treating the entire
being, not only the symptom or the disease. And the entire
being is your physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual self. That's a holistic. And so
we try. I, I, I use the metaphor of the four legs
(23:15):
of the table. One of the legs is your physical self, the other one
is your emotional, the other one is your mental, and the other one is your
soul. We have to work. If one of those is missing, the
table cannot stand. So the entire approach
is different than just the symptom. But
what I found though, is for, because of, you
(23:37):
know, the, the mind has the 13 rules of the mind.
There's 13 rules of our powerful mind. And
one of them is that the mind goes to what is familiar.
And for all of us, what's familiar when we get a
chronic disease, especially cancer, is to go to an oncologist and
oncologist. No other questions in our mind. There's no other possibility
(24:00):
because we're familiar to go there. But I added to that quote
and I say, but the key, the key to
healing is to explore the unknown, which is
what I did. I started going with faith. Obviously, no
competition. Faith, faith and purpose. Let me find out
what, what venues are there for me to try.
(24:22):
And I got into acupuncture, massage therapy,
energy work, Reiki, which later I became a Reiki
teacher and practitioner with my wife. We both
had different careers, but my disease made us change. So,
yeah, the whole thing is
(24:43):
it's a process, but it's a positive process. And once
they see the initial results, they get so
motivated to continue to do this stuff and say, why didn't
anybody teach me this? Why do all
I see on TV is a beautiful, or a guy with a
six pack eating a triple Whopper and this and that, or having a
(25:05):
beer and, you know, and the ladies, you know, why, why do they do
that? What is the, what is the purpose behind that? The
illusional happiness. And, and then, then, you know, it's crazy,
but, you know, that has a negative impact on all of us.
Yeah.
(25:25):
So, so what, what role does mindset, emotional healing and
forgiveness play in the transformation your clients have
to do? And you have some great questions.
Will I like it? Yeah, big. Like I told
you, the, the holistic self is, is, is the key.
And the role, for example, with emotions, which
(25:48):
is really the root cause along with all the acidity
that we create ourselves with, with the way we eat. We eat
fast and, and then we, we're anxious, we get
anger, maybe in traffic or whatever. All the stuff
produces cortisol and, and that's what
makes our bodies acidic. So
(26:10):
let's start with it first of all, with the, Let me give you, like
Two minutes on each of the legs of the table. The, the physical body. The
first thing I do is as a nutritionist. I, I help
my, my clients. We do a gut test
and I haven't do a stool sample
(26:30):
that I don't charge for that, but I tell them where to do this.
And so we get results about, you
know, what kind of foods really they should stay away for.
That's not, it's not about allergy, but what they do
to their metabolism and their gut because
everything starts in, in our stomachs, in our gut. So we do
(26:52):
that first and then we go through a practical
way of eating. We're not talking about types
of foods right now because this is the first thing they learn
is in terms of Nutrition and digestion,
25% will is what you eat,
(27:12):
but 75 is who you are when you're eating.
And most people eating only 10 minutes, even though if they're
employed, they have a whole hour. But they, it's fast because they
want to go and do errands or whatever. That's a no, no. You
do that every day in breakfast, lunch, dinner,
or you're already home, but you do it twice a day. Within,
(27:34):
you know, 20 years, some or more or maybe less,
your body will send you a medical bill, say, hey man, you got a
chronic disease, you have this or that. Because we do that
to ourselves, we have to slow down. We have to make sure
we trick our nervous system, that
we are relaxed when we're eating. So I do some practical
(27:57):
stuff. I give them some documents where they can realize,
oh my goodness, yeah, and we
make it fun. For example, let's say you having a very,
very healthy lunch at a park, and then
all of a sudden you see this pit bull running to you. And you see,
you can feel the intentions. So you have two choices.
(28:20):
Fight that, this animal, or flight. But
you're eating. So at that moment when you make your decision to,
you know, run and your body, your
digestion freezes and everything goes to,
to natural cortisol, you know,
adrenaline and cortisol to go away and
(28:41):
save your life or save to being beaten. And.
But the thing is your, your
nervous system does not know if it's a, if it was a
pit bull or if you were stressed in traffic or you had an argument with
somebody, a friend or whatever. It doesn't know. It just knows that
you are producing cortisol and you're not relaxed,
(29:03):
so your digestion does not go well.
So there are tricks to do that. And actually when
you become, it becomes A habit. So that's why my program
is not only like a week or two, the shortest I have is
three months. But as you start changing some of the
habits and learning that, let's say you may
(29:26):
have already had a discussion with your, with your partner, business
partner or somebody in the office, and you're gonna go to eat
well, take a couple deep breaths before. When they put the plate on in front
of you, take two or three deep breaths
and what's gonna happen is that then you trick your nervous system to say,
oh, Will, it's relaxed now. Let's have a good digestion now.
(29:50):
And then on top of that, I say, and remember, eat slower,
chew more, take at least 20 minutes for your
meal. And when they starting to do that and see the difference
in how they feel, how they sleep, their energy.
And the more energy you have, the more motivated
you are to heal yourself or to pre disease. Yeah,
(30:14):
yeah, yeah. It's definitely, it's definitely a big I,
I, It's a bit. I, I've had
massive weight loss and then I,
I feel the difference from
last year to this year. Wow. And
so, yeah, it's like I lost like a complete body off of
(30:36):
me and just the energy, just
the way I move. Like there's so much going
on. Like, I no longer have to take my blood pressure
medication, no longer have to take
Metformin because. Not because I, I've had to
switch up my diet. I've had to switch up what I eat, how I eat,
(30:57):
chewing my food properly, spending more time chewing, learning how to chew
and. Exactly. So it's, yeah, it's something that
we, we as we don't. It's something we don't do. We're
always constantly eating fast. Like we're eating.
Like we don't get to sit down and, and properly digest our food.
(31:18):
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.
So do you. What's,
what's next for you and Qualavita? New programs?
Outreach books? Yes, yes. I'm. I'm actually
probably going to launch my second book in December.
(31:38):
It's the title of Stop and Smell the Roses. In other words,
slow down and see the beauty of Mother Earth and
enjoy it, because time flies. Look, we
almost at the end of the year and it's going to come
to a point in our lives that we're going to look back and say, what,
what did I do? What? You know, I.
(32:00):
And it's interesting because I, I did some voluntary
work in hospices with Kindred Hospice, my wife and
I. And the common denominator is man, If I had 10
years of me, I would take it easy and do the things
that I always said I wanted to do. And why not? Why
didn't they? And that's, that is tough, man. That's
(32:22):
amazing. And I, I was asked, I heard somebody at
Larry King, remember Larry King, you know, he,
he was introducing this gentleman and one of the questions, I forgot
the name of the guy, but yeah, he said, he,
Larry asked him if he was afraid of dying.
And he said, well, no, I'm not
(32:45):
afraid of dying. What I'm afraid of is leaving
this planet without having done what I was supposed to do.
And that's another issue all around.
The next thing is the book. And two weeks ago
I launched my Prevention
Revolution program, which is not a cohort program, it's a
(33:08):
rolling program and it's all
about preventing. There's already eight
people in the program. Two of them are still
lingering with one with type 2
diabetes, the other one with breast cancer. But
they're on the way out of it. Not
(33:30):
that they're leaving the planet out of their situation. Yeah. And so
I accept them because what. This protocol is very similar than the one
I do for, for the one on one cancer premium,
you know, thing which is a whole year. And,
and I'm very excited about this because my,
my whole thing now is, you know, if you want a
(33:53):
five. For example. I was in Toronto
a month and a half. I'm sorry this is in Colorado on, in
August. And I asked if there's
somebody in the, in the crowd that was going through cancer
or, or any chronic disease. And two people raised
(34:14):
their hand. It was a small crowd, I think 70 people. They had it
online as well. Screen string streamed online
and the one. The event plan or when he
finished, when, when I finished. She's an amazing speaker
and she asked me, so you do one on ones,
right? It says imagine if you, instead of asking
(34:37):
who here has cancer or any other chronic disease, you
ask who here would like to avoid. Just share their
stats and say who here would like to avoid being part of that
statistic? Or if you are just get rid of
that. Everybody will raise their hand. So that, that is what
motivated me to say, wow, let me, let me put this
(34:59):
one on once into a group. But it's all about
prevention. So we can actually stop. Really.
It's my advocacy now to stop the statistics. Reverse
them, man, before we, we become just a,
an ill nation. You know, 66%. We have to
reverse that or at least stop the, the
(35:21):
damage. So that's what's next to quality
time. So excited about it because now
instead of 101 which I have a, a limit
or I burn out, I can help many more people
and actually obviously at the end of the day it helps my business
as well because I'm now doing more people
(35:45):
and and you know the, the whole thing too
is continuing to learn. I mean I'm always on the look about
and doing courses on, on you know
different, different modalities, new modalities in, in
nutrition and obviously continue to, to
be in touch with the, the hypnotherapist group
(36:07):
which is. It's called rapid transformational Therapy. They're, they're based
in London so it's just continuing
to learn and sing in the song I was born to sing which is
helping people man and giving them hope.
Awesome. Amazing. Yeah, that's great. So
for someone who's someone listening who's battling disease,
(36:29):
feeling power, powerless what's your message?
Well, gosh, there's so many but
no one my friend. First of all
healing happens from the inside out. It's hard to understand
that when we've been trained
(36:49):
otherwise. But there's like I said
there's another 12 rules of the mind not the one that I share.
And and then there's a quote that really
changed my life when I when I was really
wondering because you do, you do wonder and you have self sabotage
when you're going through a mountain the size of a cancer
(37:12):
or any other chronic disease. You know it could be
arthritis painful, you know anything. No one
will believe in you until you believe in
you. And the answers
are within. Not from the outside, not in
the media, not in books. It's inside. And if
(37:35):
you don't give time for you to being in still
time because we seem to think that some that
we have to run since we wake up if we don't
stop and smell the roses we don't stop
and breathe and give ourselves a chance
to be creative before we start the day.
(37:58):
You definitely will have some sort of a
health issue in the future. If you want to know more about
this if you. If you permit me you can reach
out to me. I'm actually changing my website but you can.
You can email me at Georges
(38:19):
is your health.com I will share some links
with you will I would like to give your you and your
audience. I give away an ebook
that I wrote about how to balance your
ph, how to take acidity out of your body
so you can prevent disease and if you have it you
(38:40):
eliminate you're Eliminating the environment, the acidity. And
so that with a little bit of, of help
emotionally, you're gonna be. You will not
even get a cold. And if you're sick, like I say, you're
destroying the environment that the cells strive to
duplicate in which is an acidic body.
(39:09):
Looking back, if you could tell that scared patient
you one thing, what would it be?
You know, it's mindset,
it's attitude, it's knowing that
you created your situation.
(39:31):
No one else, no one to blame your parents or
anyone. It's you, it's. Yeah. Your ways, your,
you know, it's. I, I have a colleague that also
went natural and survived. He actually didn't even have a round of
chemo and he, he was 23 and,
and you know, I guess the family, his wife, he stood
(39:53):
up his oncologist for the first chemotherapy
session. He never went, he had the surgery. It was colon cancer.
He never looked back. And he has a
quote that I have in my best selling book, by the way. I, My
first language is Spanish, but I launched the book in English.
The Beating the odds in 2021,
(40:15):
January, and it became bestseller day one in my
general. And then in April, in St. George's Day,
I, I launched it in Spanish and he did also Almost
at Midnight, but it did make it as a bestseller on
day one. Now the, the thing about,
you know, this, the question about as a patient,
(40:39):
what, what my feelings were. Well, nobody, especially with
cancer, nobody wants to hear that diagnosis. We were humans
and even Jesus was scared when he knew what was
coming to him as a human. And
so I learned that. And like I said, I do a lot of reading and,
and other, other avatars in, in the Hinduism and,
(41:01):
and, and you know, I'm very open to spirituality because
it's one source and, but the thing that I
recommend to everyone that just heard the diagnosis
is to, to understand that it didn't
happen to you for some reason, it
happened for you. You have an opportunity here to,
(41:24):
to, to grow and say, wow, wait a minute, I wasn't even
caring about anything. And now all of a sudden my life is the most important
thing. Of course it is, but this is a wake up call.
This guy, you know, that I told
you I quoted my book and he says, hey,
cancer is a divine touch of the shoulder.
(41:48):
And that touch in the shoulder has a message.
And that message is, hey, you have to change your
ways because you're killing yourself.
And so that's easy to say now, but I was
an emotional roller coaster the first two or three weeks of
my diagnosis and also because I was already quite
(42:11):
advanced and I had no idea because melanoma, you don't
feel any. Anything. It's just killing you and you don't know.
And. But the other thing is your attitude
and learning how to manage your disease. If
you. And I don't blame you if you just go straight to an
oncologist, get, you know, interview the person I have,
(42:34):
for example, and I can quote, I can actually share this in
case somebody's going through cancer. A questioner that you
can ask the doctor. He's your employee. You are, you're hiring this
person to help you. Ask him the questions you want to know.
Ask him how many people with the medicine that you're going to
get are still alive. And if you can talk to them if they,
(42:56):
they've been alive for five years, why Being scared of asking
that. Ask them if it is true
that they get the chemo at one of one price and they
mark it up. Ask him. Don't be afraid to do that because
you deserve to know who's gonna
have in a way your life in their hands.
(43:19):
So you know, just do that. And, and then the other thing that I did
is I avoided the fear energy. So
when I was, when it was my time to go for my
appointment, I would already I, I did it
from almost the second week. I said, I told the practitioner,
Christina is her name. I say, look, I'm
(43:42):
gonna be waiting in the hospital's yard. This is in, in South
Miami and Jackson Memorial,
the Sylvester Cancer Center. And so she
said okay. So she would, she would actually text me
or actually beat me at that time. So
to let me know that I was next. So I will go at that point.
(44:06):
So I wouldn't. I avoid waiting for half hour or so in
that energy of fear that caregivers the patient
because it's normal. But you don't want to be fed with that. You want to
be fed with positivity and,
and knowing that you have the power from within.
So on the phys. On the mental side
(44:29):
is learning visualizations and, and
doing some exercises that I work with my clients and
I teach them and I customize them for them. Where you
can see how this divine line or whatever you
choose is taking all the tumors in your
body and melting them away, sending them back to
(44:51):
be recycled to in Mother Earth. And
that's so powerful. The mind learns by
repetition, my friends. The mind that doesn't know
if what you're saying is true or false and that definitely does not
know about Tomorrow or yesterday, it only knows
what it is today. So if today you say I'm
(45:13):
healed, you know, you probably won't believe it yet.
Your, your ego is gonna say, come on, George, you're saying you heal,
man, you, you know, but I guarantee you, if
you practice these visualizations and you affirm on a
daily basis that you're healed, your so conscious, your
conscious mind is standing the machinery guys out there that
(45:36):
don't know but to stake orders, oh man, you know,
Will is saying that he's healed, so let's act on it
because it, it must, it is the present
moment. I'm healed. And I guarantee you
that you will experience some transformations in your lives.
Whoever it might be ill at this moment, but if
(45:58):
you do it even before that I'm healthy, I'm being
thankful, grateful for your health. You're going to get more
of what you're grateful for. That's a universal divine law.
The more you're thankful for something, the more you get of.
Seems so simple, huh? But we don't have the mindset
or somebody to teach us that and hold us accountable.
(46:21):
And that's really where coaches, people like me
really are here to do. And I, I have so many wonderful
colleagues doing this, a couple of ladies,
several guys. You know, in most, the common
denominator is that we're survivors. We were cancer survivors.
(46:41):
Yeah. All right, George, we've come to the
part of the show where you're gonna get the solo screen and you're gonna get
to plug away and let everybody else know where they can find you. Thank
you so much for being such a wonderful guest. I, I, I greatly
appreciate your patience with the technical difficulties we had earlier,
but thank you so much. But now, here you go, here's the screen. And then.
(47:04):
And just plug away. Yeah. And yeah,
I understand about the technology because I was a CTO and I
worked, I studied computer science. So for me it's nothing new.
But anyway, yeah, again, I
have a new program I love to have. If you want to have
a clarity session complimentary, you can reach
(47:27):
me out via email at this moment because my
website is being updated and if I give you the URL, it's
going to crash. So you can email me to Georges with it
as G E O R g e s@ is your
health.com and I will send you a
calendar calendly link for you to,
(47:50):
to schedule a call with me.
And I guarantee you, especially with this prevention
program, if you are a caregiver
and kind of are worried about maybe getting
inflicted with any of these diseases. This is
the program for you. If you're going through cancer or any other
