Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back, martin.
Thank you so much for coming onboard to share a little bit
more on a big picture about whatwe can do with the information
you shared in our previousepisode.
For those who haven't listened,I recommend you skip back to
last week, check it out, becausewe have so much knowledge
(00:20):
offered here by Martin andaccess to his insight and
experience.
So, picking up from where weleft off, I know there's a huge
world of information there.
What would you recommend forsomeone who's taking the first
step?
They're listening.
They're maybe, like me, theirmind's kind of blown.
They're opening up to lookingat our environment.
(00:41):
Like you mentioned, there's alot.
We can't control our food, ourwater, our environment, but we
can control our own internalworld, thought, mind, body.
So, um, what would you say tothem?
What is important for them toknow or what recommendations
would you share?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
right.
I always try to do it in astructured manner, try to put
points to it so people canrelate to it.
I teach it as toxicity,malnutrition, stagnation and
unresolved trauma.
Toxicity you have stuff in yourbody and in your environment
that is blocking proper function.
(01:21):
You must get rid of it.
Malnutrition is your body needscertain bits and pieces and if
it's not getting it, you mustfind a way to bring it in.
Otherwise you are notfunctioning correctly.
Stagnation is a situation.
Well, we humans are a dynamicentity.
(01:44):
We inhale, exhale, we ingest,excrete.
It's always in interaction withthe environment.
If you go for static balance,you have a marble statue, that's
.
That could look lovely, butit's unchanging.
We need to interact with theenvironment and it's always
dangerous, always so anyway,stagnation is when you don't
(02:09):
move enough.
Your lymphatic system isstagnating, turning itself into
a swamp, putrefying.
Not enough exercise, not enoughcirculation, not enough
movement, not enough breathing,not enough elimination.
All of these things are needingto function well, so well,
(02:31):
exercise important point.
And the fourth one unresolvedtrauma, which could be our
emotions.
Well, you know, we have ourphysical body and then our
emotional body, and then ourmental body and our spiritual
body, and these things overlayand whatever damage you have in
(02:52):
your emotional body will in factbe stored in your soft tissue,
the water in your body willremember, and that needs to be
resolved and that needs to beresolved, otherwise you have
blockages that will create blockto energy flow and that will
create dysfunction and pain.
So that's just a physicalemotional connection and then a
(03:15):
lot of invisible stuff like EMF.
These days Electromagneticfrequencies are all around us
and they trigger the stressresponse.
So if you don't have aneffective way to either avoid it
or block it, or at leastovercome it, then you will be
(03:37):
trending into the stressed sideof life anxious, fearful, angry,
fearful, angry and notrepairing aging faster.
Remember, when you don't usethe rest and repair
parasympathetic sufficiently,you will age quicker than you
would have otherwise.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So those are the four points that I illustrate to
people.
This is how you think about it.
Okay, so toxicity what do youneed to do?
You need to get rid of thestuff that's in you that
shouldn't be there.
Clean your environment, cleanyour house, get better cleaning
products, give up on the makeupthat makes you sick, give up on
the glade volatile organiccompounds in your nose.
(04:17):
I can go on for a long run here, but it's it's the industrial
society that creates all thesebeautiful conveniences that are,
in fact, putting toxins intothe environment.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Martin, how do you keep a positive outlook and not
become totally overwhelmed bythe toxicity?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's like on a personal question.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
How do you keep the hope there's?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
this cute story?
Yeah, there's this cute story.
There's an old man walking onthe beach and comes up on a
young boy who's picking upstarfish and tossing them in the
surf because if they stay wherethey are they're going to get
baked in the sun and die.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Because if they stay, where they are.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
They're going to get baked in the sun and die.
And the old man says to the boyyou can't possibly make a
difference.
And the boy picks up the nextstarfish and tosses it in the
surf and says I made adifference to that one.
And that's where we are.
Some people will learn, somewon't.
I have a lot of charts in mysystem that are marked NEP.
(05:29):
Not enough pain until a personis ready to finally change their
mind about their previoustraining.
You need to have the blinderscome off and realize that the
entire society is rigged bymoney to essentially defeat you,
(05:53):
exploit you, be parasitic uponyou.
That's how they are.
They are parasites that arelike leeches, like mosquitoes.
They're taking a little bitfrom you all the time.
Well, that which will not killyou will make you stronger.
Here we are overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Maybe I would imagine right To to to feel like, okay,
well, I'm fighting this uphillbattle and I have a hundred
pound backpack with all theseweights.
It's a hard battle to to get tothe top.
And then I have someone up withjust like all these factors
that you're mentioning, throwingrolling giant boulders at me at
the same time, Like that's, yougotta be ready to feel like you
(06:46):
can keep going forward well,you know, nature is like that
the lions will take the weakestgazelle and the coyotes will
take the weakest rabbit, and soon.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Right like it's, it's a dynamic balance in nature.
So you you the viewer have tochoose how you're going to live
your life.
Are you going to live it like avictim or an agent?
You need to take your agencyinto your own hands and decide.
It's up to me.
(07:18):
I choose how I live.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Can you share a little bit about when you see
someone come to you and theyhave chosen to be an agent of
them stepping into a place ofhealing, of progress towards
(07:45):
their health goals, of thatfeeling like they're improving
their health?
Because we know I think it'seasier for us to tell we're not
very healthy All the differentthings that we're experiencing
negative, like the anxiety, orphysically, like the, you know,
(08:06):
you even mentioned, like maybeyou're constipated, maybe you
know there's so many things thatlike indicators, red flags for
us, like alarms, like you're noton balance.
What are some signs that youstart to see when people start
working with you or do thecourses that they're entering
into that space towardsimproving their health?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, you know, the stories vary.
They are so all over the place.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Everything's different.
The negative thing would be youknow how you go broke Slowly,
slowly, and then suddenly thereare these.
I'll say it differently thepond that will be covered 100%
(08:59):
by the lilies, and the liliesare doubling every day and the
pond is covered 100 in 30 days.
On which day is it 10 percentcovered?
And it's day 22, which is justshocking.
(09:22):
For the first 22 days it wasstill doubling, but it was not
even 10%, and you go from 10% to100% in the last eight days in
one week out of the mile.
Likewise with health it's.
We tend to underestimate theshort term change and no bad
(09:49):
said backwards.
We underestimate the long termchange, but we are not able to
guess the the slowness of it atfirst but it really takes.
So so the stories you startdrinking better water, you start
(10:12):
stopping the grains that aregiving you headaches, you start
eating more nutritious food.
The first three days arenothing much, but when you look
back from day 10, you say, oh,you know, I've only had one
headache this week.
If you look back from a month,oh, you see, oh many more
changes Looking back from threemonths and so on.
So that's how people need tothink, is they need to be able
(10:35):
to say, okay, every time I lookback, I will be better off than
I was before.
And it picks its momentum.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's very encouraging to hear because I
think, especially as peoplenavigate this journey, it's a
journey as you mentioned, andthere's momentum gain because I
see in social media and justpeople sharing the ideas like
it's too overwhelming, I need tojust like go buy a plot of land
and just people sharing theideas like it's too overwhelming
, I need to just like go buy aplot of land and just escape.
(11:08):
I can't be a part of this world.
Right, like how it's it's italmost feels impossible, right,
so that's why I was curious yeah, yes but, but you can change it
.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well, you know how you eat an entire elephant.
You take it one slice and onebite at a time or the other,
saying the journey of 10,000miles begins with the first step
.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Right, you just have to be able to say okay, all I
have to do is understanddirection and keep correcting my
course.
And once you understand thethings that actually control the
outcomes, then it will be fine.
It's having no idea what'scausing it that causes people so
(11:59):
much emotional trouble.
Once you know why or what, thenyou can put up with almost
anything.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Right.
A lot of this sounds likemindset right.
Starting, the first step ismindset You've made reference.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, you need to make the switch from the
symptom-oriented thinking to thecause-oriented thinking.
That is the number one.
Most important switch inphilosophy is you need to
understand that there is no easybutton.
You must not seek those thatthere is no.
(12:38):
They'll do it for me, they willnot.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You need to take agency control control of your
life and own the outcome and ifyou get a change in the wrong
direction you say oh yeah, okay,no, that that was wrong, I must
not do more of that right, yeah, so in thinking of the global
(13:04):
picture and in thinking ofmaking this change, the mindset
change and looking at thosefactors that play a role, right
when you come, look at the fourmain causes of disease, with
toxicity and malnutrition andthe stagnation and trauma, and
the malnutrition and thestagnation and trauma I'm
assuming everyone is different,but if someone's starting this
(13:29):
wellness journey, like todaythey're hearing your episode
they say I need to make somechanges.
I want to make long-termchanges for myself and to show
it for my family.
Right?
Or is there a certain area thatmight be easier to approach?
(13:50):
Not to take the easy button allthe way, but is there an area
that you see is easier toapproach?
Maybe it's kind of the pondillustration.
Maybe can help add, take theother other steps, whether it's
like, okay, let's start withsome supplements, or let's start
(14:10):
start with a detox, or let'sstart with what I eat, or does
it just vary.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, and so this is an important thing you
must major in major things, notminor things.
You need to take care of thereally big issues.
So, when it comes to food, itmust be the macronutrients,
which is carbs, fats andproteins.
They will be more important.
(14:37):
Those ratios of the three willbe more important than the
quality itself.
However, if you eat toxic food,you will be introducing toxins
into your body, so I suggest youstop.
So that means you have to startshopping differently.
You cannot trust the peoplethat are running the large
(15:02):
corporations, because they arethey.
They are not running for yourbenefit, they're running for
their benefit yeah it's a it's ahostile world except yeah, it's
sad.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, it's, it is.
It is sad to really just kindof sit and accept that.
But I love that you still givethe option, for you know you
still have the empowerment, youstill have the control and
making some decisions for yourhealth, loving, caring people
(15:44):
out there.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You will find them, you'll connect them.
You'll connect with them.
I doubt, though, that peoplewho are running their company by
the spreadsheet that they willdo it for you.
They'll do it for their bottomline, not for your bottom line
so that you must understand.
So, with food you you need tostart buying locally grown,
natural.
You need to be buying foodthat's grown the way that was
(16:07):
100 years ago.
So no pesticides, no herbicides, not genetically modified all
of that stuff.
Water.
You have to be drinking cleanwater because it's all polluted.
You must filter it now, noquestion.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
That's your starting point.
And do you share you knowthrough I'd love to talk in a
second if you could share witheveryone listening how they can
connect with you.
Do you share recommendations,resources for all of those
things?
I know your background.
You had a superfoodmanufacturing business too,
(16:49):
right, so we still do.
Oh, you still do.
Oh.
You haven't even mentioned it.
So I think there's somethinghuge about that too, like just
sharing your knowledge andwisdom.
Can you speak about that alittle bit too, if you don't
mind?
just kind of, because it soundslike you've given a lot of
thought you've given us a lot ofthought of how wonderful to
enter that space as someone whocares about what's in there, so
on the nutritional side, we needto understand the nutrient
(17:11):
density.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
150 years ago, the amount of minerals in a
particular food was about 10times greater.
About 10 times greater, meaningthat today you need to eat 10
pounds of broccoli to consumethe equivalent of minerals that
were in one pound of broccoli150 years ago.
So somehow you need tocompensate for it.
(17:33):
Otherwise what you'll be doingis eating high calorie, low
nutrient density food.
Classic example pizza.
Right, if you were working inthe field seven, 10 hours a day,
you would need to be eating9,000 calories and for that the
(17:54):
pizza is awesome.
But you're not doing it.
You're sitting at your computerand you're probably burning
2,000 calories max.
You cannot be eating theamounts of starch and sugar and
whatever you know like.
For example, the amount ofsugar that's in one Coca-Cola is
the equivalent of about 15oranges.
(18:14):
Same amount of sugar is in 15oranges.
If you ate oranges, do youthink that you could actually
eat 15 of them in?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
one day no Right.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, you empty a 12-ouncer of whatever.
That's the amount of sugar,right.
So you need to be thinkingabout the nutrient density
versus the calorie density, thecalorie density, and you must
(18:48):
eliminate the foods that areputting too many calories in in
relation to the nutrition thatyou're actually getting.
This business it's called ExulaFoods and we make these powders
that are concentrates of thehigh nutrient density foods, so
you can take a spoonful of itand get a lot of benefit that
way.
And there's three issues withit.
(19:11):
One of them is particle size.
Your digestive system extractsnutrients only from the surface
of the particle that you'retaking.
So if you swallow a whole pea,only the surface of the ball is
available to your digestivesystem to extract it.
(19:31):
So you chew it.
Well, in our system we chew itdown to microscopic, tiniest
little particles to expose themost surface to your body.
So a teaspoon of this goesfarther than I don't know three
tablespoons of badly chewed food.
And what we do is we put inemulsifiers and we put in
(19:55):
essential fatty acids and thevitamins and the pigments, all
the phenols and terpenes, andyou name it.
All that important stuff thatis not in wheat, soy, white rice
, corn, all of the stuff thatyou get in the fast food
(20:18):
restaurant.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's not that.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's the opposite of that.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I love that.
I feel like you're bringing thegood on so many levels.
I feel like just being part ofthe solution that gives a lot
right, because you could, justbecause I joke.
Sometimes I'm like, well withmy friends, let's just buy a big
property and split it up andgrow our food.
But that's just not for us,right?
(20:48):
But we-.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
It's not the reality for many yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yes, right, but I think how nice and encouraging
that there are people like youbringing healing into the world
on so many levels, like youbringing healing into the world
on so many levels.
So I'm very, I'm very grateful,even you sharing your time,
which is very precious, to sharewith us.
How can people get in touchwith you If they want to connect
(21:15):
with you, maybe for one-on-one,or check out your courses or
your, your superfood, excella?
What, how, what's the best waythat they can reach you?
And we'll make sure to includeit in the show notes, but what's
the best way?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, we put it on the website that's called Life
Enthusiast Life-Enthusiastcom.
You'll find a phone numberthere.
There are support.
We have the chat line.
There are skilled, educatedpeople answering those questions
.
This is still humans.
We are a small business.
(21:50):
We support brands that arestill made by people who
invented them or created them.
This is an important factor.
When you buy a nutrient product, even just an enzyme, when it
is made by a company that'sstill run by the person who
founded it, you will find thequality of it to be miles above
(22:14):
a company that's already beensold to Nestle or Unilever or
somebody like that.
Because they will.
They will tweak it down to theleast quality for maximum
marketing impact, right, sowatch that.
So, anyway, we represent 60different brands, most of them
(22:36):
still small, but still runningon quality.
When they stop running onquality, when they stop running
on quality, we find areplacement.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Right, I love that.
I love that.
So we'll definitely includethat in the show notes.
Thank you so much for your time.
I'm sure there will be somequestions and comments and
feedback, so hopefully we I feellike there are.
I personally feel like I have alot more questions and things
I'd love to chat with you about,but may have to say that for
(23:05):
another time.
So, martin, thank you so muchagain for joining and being a
part of our wellness journeytoday.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Thank you.
Welcome back, martin.
Thank you so much for coming onboard to share a little bit
more on a big picture about whatwe can do with the information
you shared in our previousepisode.
For those who haven't listened,I recommend you skip back to
last week, check it out, becausewe have so much knowledge
(00:20):
offered here by Martin andaccess to his insight and
experience.
So, picking up from where weleft off, I know there's a huge
world of information there.
What would you recommend forsomeone who's taking the first
step?
They're listening.
They're maybe, like me, theirmind's kind of blown.
They're opening up to lookingat our environment.
(00:41):
Like you mentioned, there's alot.
We can't control our food, ourwater, our environment, but we
can control our own internalworld, thought, mind, body.
So, um, what would you say tothem?
What is important for them toknow or what recommendations
would you share?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
right.
I always try to do it in astructured manner, try to put
points to it so people canrelate to it.
I teach it as toxicity,malnutrition, stagnation and
unresolved trauma.
Toxicity you have stuff in yourbody and in your environment

Not enough exercise, not enoughcirculation, not enough

All of these things are needingto function well, so well,
(02:31):
exercise important point.
And the fourth one unresolvedtrauma, which could be our
emotions.
Well, you know, we have ourphysical body and then our

Remember, when you don't usethe rest and repair

would have otherwise.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So those are the four points that I illustrate to
people.
This is how you think about it.
Okay, so toxicity what do youneed to do?
You need to get rid of thestuff that's in you that
shouldn't be there.
Clean your environment, cleanyour house, get better cleaning
products, give up on the makeupthat makes you sick, give up on
the glade volatile organiccompounds in your nose.
(04:17):
I can go on for a long run here, but it's it's the industrial
society that creates all thesebeautiful conveniences that are,
in fact, putting toxins intothe environment.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Martin, how do you keep a positive outlook and not

Speaker 2 (04:45):
It's like on a personal question.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
How do you keep the hope there's?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
this cute story?
Yeah, there's this cute story.
There's an old man walking onthe beach and comes up on a

Because if they stay, where they are.
Speaker 2 (05:06):

And the old man says to the boyyou can't possibly make a

And the boy picks up the nextstarfish and tosses it in the

And that's where we are.
Some people will learn, somewon't.
I have a lot of charts in mysystem that are marked NEP.
(05:29):
Not enough pain until a personis ready to finally change their

You need to have the blinderscome off and realize that the

(05:53):

That's how they are.
They are parasites that arelike leeches, like mosquitoes.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Right, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Everything's different.
The negative thing would be youknow how you go broke Slowly,
slowly, and then suddenly thereare these.
I'll say it differently thepond that will be covered 100%
(08:59):
by the lilies, and the liliesare doubling every day and the
pond is covered 100 in 30 days.
On which day is it 10 percentcovered?
And it's day 22, which is justshocking.
(09:22):
For the first 22 days it wasstill doubling, but it was not
even 10%, and you go from 10% to100% in the last eight days in
one week out of the mile.
Likewise with health it's.
We tend to underestimate theshort term change and no bad
(09:49):
said backwards.
We underestimate the long termchange, but we are not able to
guess the the slowness of it atfirst but it really takes.
So so the stories you startdrinking better water, you start
(10:12):
stopping the grains that aregiving you headaches, you start
eating more nutritious food.
The first three days arenothing much, but when you look
back from day 10, you say, oh,you know, I've only had one
headache this week.
If you look back from a month,oh, you see, oh many more
changes Looking back from threemonths and so on.
So that's how people need tothink, is they need to be able
(10:35):
to say, okay, every time I lookback, I will be better off than
I was before.
And it picks its momentum.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That's very encouraging to hear because I
think, especially as peoplenavigate this journey, it's a
journey as you mentioned, andthere's momentum gain because I
see in social media and justpeople sharing the ideas like
it's too overwhelming, I need tojust like go buy a plot of land
and just people sharing theideas like it's too overwhelming
, I need to just like go buy aplot of land and just escape.
(11:08):
I can't be a part of this world.
Right, like how it's it's italmost feels impossible, right,
so that's why I was curious yeah, yes but, but you can change it
.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well, you know how you eat an entire elephant.
You take it one slice and onebite at a time or the other,
saying the journey of 10,000miles begins with the first step
.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Right, you just have to be able to say okay, all I
have to do is understanddirection and keep correcting my
course.
And once you understand thethings that actually control the
outcomes, then it will be fine.
It's having no idea what'scausing it that causes people so
(11:59):
much emotional trouble.
Once you know why or what, thenyou can put up with almost
anything.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Right.
A lot of this sounds likemindset right.
Starting, the first step ismindset You've made reference.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, you need to make the switch from the
symptom-oriented thinking to thecause-oriented thinking.
That is the number one.
Most important switch inphilosophy is you need to
understand that there is no easybutton.
You must not seek those thatthere is no.
(12:38):
They'll do it for me, they willnot.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You need to take agency control control of your
life and own the outcome and ifyou get a change in the wrong
direction you say oh yeah, okay,no, that that was wrong, I must
not do more of that right, yeah, so in thinking of the global
(13:04):
picture and in thinking ofmaking this change, the mindset
change and looking at thosefactors that play a role, right
when you come, look at the fourmain causes of disease, with
toxicity and malnutrition andthe stagnation and trauma, and
the malnutrition and thestagnation and trauma I'm
assuming everyone is different,but if someone's starting this
(13:29):
wellness journey, like todaythey're hearing your episode
they say I need to make somechanges.
I want to make long-termchanges for myself and to show
it for my family.
Right?
Or is there a certain area thatmight be easier to approach?
(13:50):
Not to take the easy button allthe way, but is there an area
that you see is easier toapproach?
Maybe it's kind of the pondillustration.
Maybe can help add, take theother other steps, whether it's
like, okay, let's start withsome supplements, or let's start
(14:10):
start with a detox, or let'sstart with what I eat, or does
it just vary.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, and so this is an important thing you
must major in major things, notminor things.
You need to take care of thereally big issues.
So, when it comes to food, itmust be the macronutrients,
which is carbs, fats andproteins.
They will be more important.
(14:37):
Those ratios of the three willbe more important than the
quality itself.
However, if you eat toxic food,you will be introducing toxins
into your body, so I suggest youstop.
So that means you have to startshopping differently.
You cannot trust the peoplethat are running the large
(15:02):
corporations, because they arethey.
They are not running for yourbenefit, they're running for
their benefit yeah it's a it's ahostile world except yeah, it's
sad.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, it's, it is.
It is sad to really just kindof sit and accept that.
But I love that you still givethe option, for you know you
still have the empowerment, youstill have the control and
making some decisions for yourhealth, loving, caring people
(15:44):
out there.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You will find them, you'll connect them.
You'll connect with them.
I doubt, though, that peoplewho are running their company by
the spreadsheet that they willdo it for you.
They'll do it for their bottomline, not for your bottom line
so that you must understand.
So, with food you you need tostart buying locally grown,
natural.
You need to be buying foodthat's grown the way that was
(16:07):
100 years ago.
So no pesticides, no herbicides, not genetically modified all
of that stuff.
Water.
You have to be drinking cleanwater because it's all polluted.
You must filter it now, noquestion.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
That's your starting point.
And do you share you knowthrough I'd love to talk in a
second if you could share witheveryone listening how they can
connect with you.
Do you share recommendations,resources for all of those
things?
I know your background.
You had a superfoodmanufacturing business too,
(16:49):
right, so we still do.
Oh, you still do.
Oh.
You haven't even mentioned it.
So I think there's somethinghuge about that too, like just
sharing your knowledge andwisdom.
Can you speak about that alittle bit too, if you don't
mind?
just kind of, because it soundslike you've given a lot of
thought you've given us a lot ofthought of how wonderful to
enter that space as someone whocares about what's in there, so
on the nutritional side, we needto understand the nutrient
(17:11):
density.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
150 years ago, the amount of minerals in a
particular food was about 10times greater.
About 10 times greater, meaningthat today you need to eat 10
pounds of broccoli to consumethe equivalent of minerals that
were in one pound of broccoli150 years ago.
So somehow you need tocompensate for it.
(17:33):
Otherwise what you'll be doingis eating high calorie, low
nutrient density food.
Classic example pizza.
Right, if you were working inthe field seven, 10 hours a day,
you would need to be eating9,000 calories and for that the
(17:54):
pizza is awesome.
But you're not doing it.
You're sitting at your computerand you're probably burning
2,000 calories max.
You cannot be eating theamounts of starch and sugar and
whatever you know like.
For example, the amount ofsugar that's in one Coca-Cola is
the equivalent of about 15oranges.
(18:14):
Same amount of sugar is in 15oranges.
If you ate oranges, do youthink that you could actually
eat 15 of them in?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
one day no Right.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, you empty a 12-ouncer of whatever.
That's the amount of sugar,right.
So you need to be thinkingabout the nutrient density
versus the calorie density, thecalorie density, and you must
(18:48):
eliminate the foods that areputting too many calories in in
relation to the nutrition thatyou're actually getting.
This business it's called ExulaFoods and we make these powders
that are concentrates of thehigh nutrient density foods, so
you can take a spoonful of itand get a lot of benefit that
way.
And there's three issues withit.
(19:11):
One of them is particle size.
Your digestive system extractsnutrients only from the surface
of the particle that you'retaking.
So if you swallow a whole pea,only the surface of the ball is
available to your digestivesystem to extract it.
(19:31):
So you chew it.
Well, in our system we chew itdown to microscopic, tiniest
little particles to expose themost surface to your body.
So a teaspoon of this goesfarther than I don't know three
tablespoons of badly chewed food.
And what we do is we put inemulsifiers and we put in
(19:55):
essential fatty acids and thevitamins and the pigments, all
the phenols and terpenes, andyou name it.
All that important stuff thatis not in wheat, soy, white rice
, corn, all of the stuff thatyou get in the fast food
(20:18):
restaurant.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's not that.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's the opposite of that.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I love that.
I feel like you're bringing thegood on so many levels.
I feel like just being part ofthe solution that gives a lot
right, because you could, justbecause I joke.
Sometimes I'm like, well withmy friends, let's just buy a big
property and split it up andgrow our food.
But that's just not for us,right?
(20:48):
But we-.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
It's not the reality for many yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yes, right, but I think how nice and encouraging
that there are people like youbringing healing into the world
on so many levels, like youbringing healing into the world
on so many levels.
So I'm very, I'm very grateful,even you sharing your time,
which is very precious, to sharewith us.
How can people get in touchwith you If they want to connect
(21:15):
with you, maybe for one-on-one,or check out your courses or
your, your superfood, excella?
What, how, what's the best waythat they can reach you?
And we'll make sure to includeit in the show notes, but what's
the best way?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, we put it on the website that's called Life
Enthusiast Life-Enthusiastcom.
You'll find a phone numberthere.
There are support.
We have the chat line.
There are skilled, educatedpeople answering those questions
.
This is still humans.
We are a small business.
(21:50):
We support brands that arestill made by people who
invented them or created them.
This is an important factor.
When you buy a nutrient product, even just an enzyme, when it
is made by a company that'sstill run by the person who
founded it, you will find thequality of it to be miles above
(22:14):
a company that's already beensold to Nestle or Unilever or
somebody like that.
Because they will.
They will tweak it down to theleast quality for maximum
marketing impact, right, sowatch that.
So, anyway, we represent 60different brands, most of them
(22:36):
still small, but still runningon quality.
When they stop running onquality, when they stop running
on quality, we find areplacement.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Right, I love that.
I love that.
So we'll definitely includethat in the show notes.
Thank you so much for your time.
I'm sure there will be somequestions and comments and
feedback, so hopefully we I feellike there are.
I personally feel like I have alot more questions and things
I'd love to chat with you about,but may have to say that for
(23:05):
another time.
So, martin, thank you so muchagain for joining and being a
part of our wellness journeytoday.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Thank you.
