Phil Better

Welcome back to another episode of Invest in Yourself, the digital Entrepreneur podcast. I am of course your host with the most feel better. And today we have a returning guest. We're doing a part two with, with this guest because I was just blown away by the knowledge and story that my current guest brought, so I wanted to bring him back on. We're going to be talking more about health, how we can become better versions of ourself, which is the most important thing in life. So please welcome back coach George. George, thank you so much for being here.

coach George

Thank you, thank you for this episode two. I'm honored to share and as you sent me an email yesterday, you know, things happen for a reason. We, we have to share this with your audience. But we didn't know, but we double booked so, so Phil sent me an email and said well, should we cancel? We, we already did the episode and I, I just said why don't we, if you don't, if you have the time, I would like to share a very important topic that if you put it into action somewhat, I could give you this bold statement that it would be very tough for you to get a chronic disease. For you to, to, to get sick. Yeah, you may have a cold. I think I'm fighting one now with the changes of weather. We went from 80 degrees to 49.

coach George

So it's, that'll do it. But, but I'm talking chronic diseases and taking care of ourselves. You know, I, I, I was writing something for, for my, well, this will be my, my, my second book. I'm working on two books at the same time. You might think I'm crazy, but you know, our time is the most precious gift we have and is a non renewable resource. So, and many people just, they just flow through life and not thinking about this. So we might as well have a very good healthy life in our path. We are all going to go.

coach George

So I like to share with you the human cycle. Okay. And, and this is how it goes the sun. It has a cycle of 365 or depending on the year, 366 days. The moon is 28 days. And us humans, our cycle is 24 hours. In those 24 hours, we're designed and to. To do certain things in order to stay healthy.

coach George

And I'm going to start with sleeping. And if I asked, when I asked whether it's five people or 500 in a talk and who has a problem sleeping. And pretty much almost everyone raises their hand because in one or another we don't sleep well. And there are many reasons for that. Obviously we may get back from work or whatever we were doing during the day. We get back home stressed out and instead of relaxing, we just know that we have to have dinner and then there's TV time, whatever it is. But that's one thing. All of a sudden we force ourselves to go to bed.

coach George

And many people just take a wow. To go to bed. So, and it is important out of those 24 hours a day, we supposed to sleep between six good hours, six to eight hours. In my case, I sleep six good hours because I wake up, I go to bed at 10 at night, but I wake up at 5. So I spend about two and a half hours doing stuff for me, nourishing myself, journaling, meditating, praying, and then I go to the gym or I go for a run. It's just really time for me trying time to keep myself as. As we all know, we are designed to movement, not to be sitting all day. That's why we have muscles and bones, is to move.

coach George

So sleeping is, it's a key component because while we sleep, our, those, those hours are just for really for detoxing and restoring our bodies. Our subconscious minds were one of the main tasks that it has. Which by the way you and I are talking now and the audience, we're breathing and we don't realize it, but you know, this, this wisdom that is inside of us that makes everything turned on. The subconscious mind needs time for certain things. And for us as we sleep, we are detoxing the liver in conjunction to everything else in there. It's basically detoxing our bodies and also we restoring every here and there. Maybe we had some sort of a sore because we twisted our ankle or anything like that. But what happens though is that most people, and it doesn't matter the culture, most people go home in the evening and they had not maybe eaten enough during the day and they had the biggest meal in the evening.

coach George

Not only do they have their biggest meal in the evening, but they have it maybe an hour before they go to bed. So what ends up happening is that we go to bed and instead of detoxing and restoring, we go to bed wasting energy, digesting. So maybe by three in the morning is when the body starts really detoxing and restoring because the energy in the beginning of your sleeping time was to digest. So here's the tip that, and I do this when I go to dinner or I go out, which is obviously something that we all have to do. But we try to go and have dinner early as well, like a seven, nine o' clock max. And if that happened, it's a Friday. We make sure we go to bed two hours or two and a half hours after dinner. So when we go to bed, yeah, you know, our digestion is done and we give our, our subconscious mind and our, and our natural flow to work.

coach George

Right. But if you, if you had very little breakfast, and I know this, especially in the United States, but I'm, I, you know, I, I guess this is everywhere when we wanted this noisy culture, you're in a hurry, you have to go to work, you have to do errands. And many, I see many people having a coffee or worse a soda and that's it. And then they go, they have something to munch on the mid morning and they eat whatever they can have at lunch. But when they go home in the evening, they say, well now I'm going to have my meal. And that is really a mistake unless you make sure that you have your meal, at least give it time before you go to bed that you can actually digest. Okay. And so that's a, that's a, that's an amazing tip.

coach George

Another thing that I, I learned when I was studying nutrition, there's a guy in, Jack lalanne, I mean from. Very famous in the, in the past. But he did say something that really made sense. And I think he comes from the Greek philosopher that was into medicine, Socrates. And he said breakfast is king. That should be your biggest meal. And you have the nutrients and energy for the day. Lunch is queen and dinner is poor man's dinner, poor man's plate.

coach George

You know, maybe a salad, maybe a yogurt, something really light and again if you can, an hour or two, if it's light, in an hour and a half you already did your digestion. But it's very important to allow yourself to have digestion before you go to sleep. That's, that's one thing. The other thing that is a. And basically I don't recommend this many people have a TV in, in the room and that really, it goes against, especially if you listen to the news and things like that, you're really feeding yourself some really bad stuff, negative stuff on, on, on what some people say he's Canadian, this guy, Romy Sharma, I don't know. He's one of my, my mentors. He's a writer, an amazing writer. And I follow him since I was like 25.

coach George

He's a little younger than me, but this guy is really good. And he says, he says that it is, it is, it is key to understand that we need to kind of like have the best calm situations before we go to bed. So here are some tips. Try not to watch TV in your room. If you're going to watch the news, which I don't recommend especially, you know, minutes or hours, an hour before you go to bed and all you hear is negative news. And because people got into this trend and everybody, I mean, if you see the, the polls and at the time, you know, the ratings, everybody watches the news and the last five minutes is the only positive thing, if any. Everything else, all you hearing is division, this and a crime, and everything is negative. It's almost like we, we have this.

coach George

We are hypnotized with the negative. And the mind, the mind absorbs all that. So you go to bed and with all this negative energy in you, and that doesn't serve you well as a holistic being. I'm not talking now on digestion, but it creates a little bit of anxiety that you don't even realize. That's another thing if you're going to take. There's some people that say, man, I cannot go to sleep. So they go and go to the doctor and they get sleeping pills, they get a recipe and do that, that really, you know, you may go to sleep. But again, if you ate a lot before you went to sleep, whatever.

coach George

Once you're asleep, whether it's chemically or not, you are not serving your body well. So if you want to take something before you go to sleep, you could take melatonin. It's, you know, it's just a little bit. We produce melatonin, but if we're stressed out and I mean, we have a very wise system in us. I mean, we, you know, God made us perfect in that sense. I mean, we're an amazing machine. We need to understand it. So, so when we do this, all of a sudden you're thinking, people say, well, what's going on with Phil? Look at him.

coach George

And he must be Energy, whatever. All we got to do is tweak these things a little bit, you know. And so that' that I take every night. Sometimes I forget, but most of the time I'll take a capsule of magnesium. Magnesium also is good for your bones. Some people get cramps when they're sleeping and but it also slows you down. That's another thing that if, if you're going to do a supplement, you know, I would, I would take those two. I do, I take a little, got a bed of a very small pill of melatonin and then I have my capsule of, of magnesium.

coach George

The three, the, the three types of magnesium combined. And, and so that's another, another thing. And then one that is really important if you want to. And it's a relaxer. Take a warm shower. You take a warm shower before you go to bed. And if possible there are these things that have, they're like socks or like this little, you know, I would call it, it's cloth that has like rice or stones inside, little, little stones. And you can warm it up in the, in in your microwave or microwave and stuff.

coach George

Warm it up a little bit or take a bottle, a bottle of water and warm it up, I mean plastic and put it on your tummy when, and just stay a few minutes before when you go to bed on your back with a little warmth in your stomach right after your shower if you're having extreme problem, you know, having a hard time going to sleep. But sleeping in this 24 hour human cycle, it is, it is key for our, for our health. When we restore and we regenerate, we start a new day with a lot of energy. We, it's just, we're designed that way but we're the ones that, that just disrupt the process. And that, that is one of the, the, the situations. The other, the other part of this, the, the hours that we have awaken most of the time and many people get cut into this routine. You wake up and you're already thinking about what's, what you're going to do or you hadn't finished this last night and you are like in reaction mode because you woke up, you, you know, you got dressed, you get your coffee, maybe eat in a hurry, which is not good. We talked about it in the previous episode.

coach George

And so from the night before to the next 24 hours all we doing is disrupting the cycle. We got it. We supposed to have a good breakfast and, and not in a hurry. So if you find yourself that you are always stressing out to get out of the door Wake up 10, 10 minutes before you usually wake up. Do some things that you can actually start managing the cycle. And again you have a good breakfast, maybe a nice and healthy snack mid morning. Then you have lunch. Not as big or maybe it's big as.

coach George

As breakfast but you know that's it. And then you have maybe a smoothie or something you know in the. In the mid mid mid afternoon. And then have a live dinner. The lighter the dinner the better and do it so you know that when you're going to go to sleep you already digested that dinner. And just by doing that you're really honoring the human cycle. Now here's another one that it's really important to know that also gets us sick if we don't honor this. And this is the amount of water you drink on a daily basis.

coach George

Okay. And I do have some stuff that I shared in your previous episode that the previous episode our interview and I think I gave it to you. But I'm going to send you. What I did is I put together a link that has all this stuff this. It has the rules of the mind which is really really a key thing to do and understand and maybe put the practice a little bit. How to water, how to water tips how to sleep tips a little bit of what has a little more of what we we just discussed today. And he has something that is also I it helped me healed from my disease and that's really forgiveness the part of the emotional part of my holistic self. So I do have there a recording for.

coach George

It's a forgiveness meditation. One is for men, one is for women. I have them both in there. And then obviously the balanced ph that we talked the other day about this. And so in this cycle, in this awaken ours we have to make sure that we nourish ourselves the right way. If anything, when I do my. My. When I have my clients.

coach George

One of the things that we work first is. Is the. The physical leg. Then we. We work on the. On the emotional then the mental and then the spiritual. But within the physical leg we we we and mental or really spiritual we. I I encourage folks and I teach them to start and to learn how to meditate to relax have some time in the morning for them.

coach George

Once you get that if you. If you pass a 21 straight day let's say Mark you start bec. You start making. It's becoming a habit. And once you once that is a habit the days that you don't do it for whatever reason it happens to all of Us, you don't, it's not the same type of day because you started really honoring yourself, being thankful that you open your eyes and then, you know, you could just even journal if you want, but write stuff that is, it's almost like a prayer, whatever comes to mind. Or being thankful for your kids, for your wife, for your work. I mean, do not take things for granted and understanding too that you know, our time is a non renewable resource. Time keeps running.

coach George

And so we should really have the mindset to say, man, we have to be good stewards of our time. It's going, it is like a cassette, the old fashioned cassettes that are running, you know, and they, you know, there's no stop. It runs, runs, runs. And you, you youngsters, it's not so, so bad. But when I remember that at the end of the, the tape usually seems to go faster, you know, to the end. And so, yeah, and so I wanted to, to, to share some of these tips because it's very important to know. I mean some people will say, well, the human cycle, yeah, it's 24 hours and there are some things that are designed to happen and if we don't know, boy, we actually starting to create situations and environments that get us sick. In the US I did the numbers in Canada as well, but in the U.S.

coach George

nearly, I told you 50, almost 50% of the nation has one or two chronic diseases and it's poor sleeping poor, poor dieting, a lot of stress, people living with emotional clutter from the past. And so all this stuff, you combine that and the body gives up, our holistic self gives up and say, look, here you go, you know, the body or the your yourself, it brings you a medical bill. Look, you have to go to the doctor. But here's one thing that is very important to know. If you understand that you are the reason you got sick is your fault. Guess what? You also have the power to heal from that. If you make the right changes. You don't have to give that power to anyone else and that you can bring support, you know, somebody that has been there, somebody that can keep you accountable, whatever, coach, anything.

coach George

But the whole thing is that, you know, in my case, for example, and it took a couple years, I, when I realized, man, this, this was my fault, look, look at me before. I mean, and I thought I was striving, you know, just going to be a CTO, this and that and taking the kids to camping, doing everything, you know, and then all of a sudden that's not what life is all about. George's you know, you gotta slow down, you gotta really. And so whatever the reason was. And then, you know, these diseases are not hereditary, by the way. So what is hereditary is the lifestyle of, in that culture or in that family. So if it's a family that drinks a lot or you know, let's say in party a lot, and they go to bed at, you know, 2 in the morning and wake up at 10 in the morning, which is, that's another thing. You know, there are some times of the day, I don't know if you've noticed this, but if I oversleep, which is really as bad as not sleeping enough, that's something, that's something also for us to understand if we already restored.

coach George

Go ahead. You had a question?

Phil Better

Yeah, I wanted to touch on the oversleeping because that's something I find interesting because a lot of people say, oh, I'm going to sleep longer to catch up on sleep. But you're coming here to say that if you oversleep, it's actually more detrimental to someone's health.

coach George

Yeah, it's the reason for that is there is again there is a cycle that this cycle, the moment that you have had a chance to detox and restore, I mean your subconscious, man, your internal being, you're ready to wake up. And it takes about seven hours. So let's say somebody works until two in the morning. The idea there is, well, try to sleep during the days. That's another thing that you just reminded me. But that person needs to have at least six hours of good sleep. But by, by hour five, it's already data daytime. So for them that the next few hours of sleeping, of those seven or eight hours, there's already light.

coach George

And that's something that we'll talk about it now. The, the darker your room is when you go to sleep, the better. Some people leave the TV on and you're getting all this radiation on top of that. Your subconscious mind knows that there is no darkness for you to digest. Sleep good. But there are people that say, and I was one of them. Oh, and you know, I, I just going to sleep 10 hours because last night I sleep only five. And it doesn't work that way, oversleeping.

coach George

What it does is that you already finished and now when you're supposed to be moving, you're disrupting the awakened time. The only thing that I can change is when people work overnight, they have the overnight shifts and when you talk to them, One of my sons did that for about eight months and he decided to stop that he was a youngster, he didn't finish college yet. But he said, and quote, he said that it just. I'm like a zombie during, during the day, even though I slept, I slept until 4. And so because we're not designed for that, we're designed to sleep in the dark, just like the animal kingdom, you know. And so, and then there's another thing. So another tip that you brought up is, is to try to sleep with as much darkness as you can. That really helps you.

coach George

Your melatonin. Melatonin to naturally produce being, producing your body. So yeah, there's, and then obviously, and this is good. When I was sick, they told me if you have the time, it is good to have like a 10, 15 minute nap after lunch or something. If you have that. And you know that if you can do that, that is, that is good. Now I fail to do that sometimes because, you know, I have many things to do. So my wife reminds me, why don't you take a nap? Take a break.

coach George

And I take a nap. So what happens to me in that one? In, in that nap I have to put something on the alarm so I couldn't wake up in 15, max 20 minutes. If, if I sleep more than that, I'm like, like I can't sleep at night either.

Phil Better

Yeah, it ruins my sleep night if I get a, if I take more than like I can do up to 30 minutes. But if it's like a late nap like at around 4 o' clock, I'm screwed. My night is screwed. I have to do it around like one o' clock is probably.

coach George

Yes, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. So, so here you have it. You know, it's, it really is being aware of this, let's say, rules of our cycle. And if we honor that, if we manage to eat the most calories at breakfast, then a good amount of calories at lunch, maybe have a couple good snacks. It could be peanuts or it could be fruit or a juice or you know, nothing with too much sugar. And same in the afternoon if you can. If you don't.

coach George

The idea is not to try not to get home with a lot of hunger because you know, a lot of people eat a whole cow at night and then they expect to sleep good. That's not good. So if anyone in the audience is in that particular mode, try to reverse it. And again, it's not like right away, it takes a few weeks, but you have to constantly be consistent in those 21 days saying, okay, I'm going to wake up earlier so I can have a rest and digest lung breakfast. Because that's what happens a lot. People, even in the movies they show us, I mean, it's almost like is part of the cycle. No, take your time. Have a good breakfast and then have a good lunch.

coach George

Not as big as a breakfast and then a very light dinner. And obviously drink water during the day. Water.

Phil Better

Since our last talk, I've been trying my best to limit the amount of sugary drinks I've taken.

coach George

Oh, yes.

Phil Better

I already was doing that beforehand, but when you gave me that, it takes like 32.

coach George

I think you said 32 glasses to Alkalanga body. Yes.

Phil Better

Yeah. I was like, okay, we're going to drop down. Everything down. I'm. I already cut out alcohol out of my diet since 2020. Occasionally have that. You can't. Moderation is the key.

Phil Better

Key.

coach George

Exactly.

Phil Better

Here. I'm curious to know your. Your take on fasting because there's intermittent fasting that has come up. It was coming up during COVID which a lot of new things were coming through. I would like to know, as a holistic health coach, as someone who's gone through nutrition training and that what is your view on the intermittent fasting? I don't want to say craze, because I don't think it's a craze and I don't think it's a fad. I think it's something that I personally do enjoy because I do feel that I was able to lose over 100 pounds doing the fasting. I was 300 pounds before.

coach George

Congrats.

Phil Better

Yeah, thank you very much. 2020 was a very good year for me to lose weight. Since I didn't need it to leave the house. I could, you know, fast easier. I would like to know what's your take coming from the holistic point of view? Yeah, of.

coach George

That's an excellent question. First of all, in that human cycle, what happens in those eight hours or seven or six, especially if you didn't have a big dinner, Is that. That's what's happening. That's what we call it. Break fast in the morning. We're fasting naturally if we allow our bodies to do that because we enough time to do it. Now, fasting. And everybody maybe has different ideas.

coach George

Fasting is wonderful. Fasting is the Avatars, Jesus himself. Fasting is not only great for your. For giving your. Your body a break, but it's also a spiritual situation. The moment that you. That you are having a little bit of hunger, it's a. It's a.

coach George

It's a new habit. All of A sudden you're gonna do it and you struggle the first few days because you even get headaches and stuff. What happens with fasting is that you are taking those six to eight hours that you're supposed to be fasting naturally and you prolong it. Okay. What we do, my wife and I is once every three months we go for a whole month doing intermediate fasting. We stop eating at 8, whatever. We eat from 12 to 8 and then we don't have but water until 12 the next day. Intermittent fasting.

coach George

And then what I teach my clients and we do this at least twice. We go on month. On the second month, I don't want to throw that right away because they have to do many other things. But on the second month we do a 10 day, what we call reset, a 10 day reset. And it is really interesting to see them struggling because they don't buy those things, you know, that, that it income that, you know, it's with juicing and stuff, it's not complete fasting, but it's re. You know, no coffee, no sugar, stuff like that. Ten days. And then the last month, because my, my protocol is three months, we do it again.

coach George

And guess what? Sometimes they want to, they call me. Let's say we finish. Some people finish at three months, some people, they want to continue and we continue. But they call me and they say, look, what is it that. Are you going to continue to do it? I said, great, you do 10 days a month of resetting. It's not really just fasting, it's just cleansing. But it's with a, with a. It's almost like, almost like juicing all the time.

coach George

And, but it's really good. It really. What happens with fasting as well, if you do like the whole 24 hours, if you could do it on a weekend. I have tried that before, especially when I was in competition. And the amount of energy that you get and you get a little bit sick in a way the first 24, 36 hours or you know, 30 hours because you know, the body says almost like until you get used to it. But the first time is a shock what's going on here, you know, and, but, but at the end of the day it is good, it is healthy. I would suggest you keep doing that periodically. You don't have to go all the, all time.

coach George

I do have a few buddies from a tennis world that with their wives, not with the kids, but the kids are gone. They do it inter fasting. They've been doing it for intermittent fast. They just eat at night and not, not even a lunch. And what they eat at night is, unless. Except weekends, they might go out or they might have people at dinner at home. But during the week, they, they just, they go almost, almost 24 hours, and then they have a light dinner and then they go to sleep in the morning. They, obviously, they drink coffee, water.

coach George

But it's, It's a lifestyle. You. You look at them and you say, well, they're healthy. You know, they eat whatever they want to eat. And they know that it's not the best idea. And they know, they know naturally that if they eat too late, then they don't sleep well, so you have to still manage the sleeping. But it's very good. Great question.

coach George

It's very, it's really. And if you have chronic disease and you want to really shock your body, I mean, one way to alkaline your. Your body is fasting, and you're drinking water. Water is the most alkaline substance. And we are 70% water, you know, inside. So, yeah, it's good. Great question, great question.

Phil Better

I'm glad, I'm glad that I knew the fasting was at least good for weight loss. I'm glad to hear that. It was great for, you know, resetting the whole body.

coach George

Resetting the body, resetting your mind. And there is a way, too, that depending on your intention, you know, for us Catholic Christians, we do Lent right before, you know, the Holy week. And so people start, you know, they go, oh, well, I'm gonna. I'm gonna stop drinking coffee. I'm gonna do this. And I, I say, sometimes I say, look, there's other ways. You know, just go ahead and, and do a day, three days of fasting during the week or do it just on Fridays. And.

coach George

But there's other ways to do fasting. Fast. Not criticizing anybody or not judging anybody. When you find yourself judging somebody, hey, when you judge somebody, you may be missing the good that lies behind that judgment, you know, and so, so it's, it's. At the end of the day, it's a spiritual thing, and whatever reason we're trying to do it, it connects to that. Next time you do fasting, you can maybe even offer it for, let's say, your family, somebody in the family that is struggling. It's just a powerful prayer to do that. You are going through, in a way, a sacrifice.

coach George

Now, it's not about your weight. I'm going to do this. Obviously, it's going to happen automatically, but it's more like every time you feel hungry, every time you have, like, a little struggle. I wish I could have that. Then you think, and I'm doing this as the energy that I'm sending Joe, you know, and it is really cool, man. It's. It's just good. We have so much power in ourselves, inside ourselves.

coach George

And, and if we take the time, which nobody has time, and that's. That's the first thing I hear, yes, you have time. You can be a good steward of your own time, which is. It's, you know, it's going away one day. It's going to be your time to go. And then you look back and say, man, how much time did I waste? You know, this guy, Oscar Wilde, he has an interesting. I have it in my book, an interesting quote, says, humans are the strangest thing in the world. All they do is exist.

coach George

You know, that's. And that's right. When you think about it, many people with a purpose, whatever, they're just existing. They're just. Oh, my God. Oh, thank God it's Friday, you know, next week, the same thing. And this guy from Canada, Robin Sharma, look it up. Look him up.

coach George

You're gonna really like this guy. He. He has a quote that it's really powerful. Most people live the same life 85 times, 85 years, the same life, no change. And. And that we're not designed for that either. But living the same life is the same thing as saying we're just existing, you know, and we're distracted doing stuff. My wife tells me sometimes, well, yeah, George, you.

coach George

You already, you know, you. You heard the knock, the door, knock of. Of death. And that's why you're different. So. Well, maybe. So that's why I. I try to let people know, to be mindful that their time is limited.

coach George

You know, I ask. I ask on my talks. I don't know if I share this with you. Last time, if I did, I'm sorry, I. It'll be repeated. But when I do a talk, I always ask if, you know, I'm. I'm being introduced. And then when I'm getting ready to start, I say, okay, guys, before I get going, I like you to raise your hand if you are terminal.

coach George

And so there is a few people that raise their hand. And, you know, good for them. They're, you know, they have the courage to do that. Some people don't. But then when they. I say, okay, you can bring them down. And then I say, well, for you, for those of you that did not raise your hand if this was a test, you flunked, we Are all terminal. We are all terminal.

coach George

One day is going to be our last day and we don't know what when that day is. So people laugh kind of like a little shy love and smile. But I do that on purpose. I'll tell you why, Phil. So then I say, okay, I have one other question for you guys. Raise your hand if you are 100% sure that tomorrow morning you're going to be opening your eyes. Nobody raises a hand because they got the message. We don't know.

coach George

We just simply don't know. My dad, for example, passed on his sleep and he's sleep, thank God. It's a good way to go. But at 84. But it is important I start that way because the mind, the mindset of people going to right away to an oncologist or the doctors and give all the power to those folks. And then God forbid that doctor says your terminal, Phil, I can't do anything else. Then you go home to a corner. Most people do that.

coach George

Go to a corner and die. Die within weeks because the doctor said I can't do anything else for. You have, you have no idea. I have three, three clients in my almost eight years doing this that were. Got. They were sent home to palliative care or hospice and, and they surprised their doctors. They did. They weren't ready to go, but they had a difference.

coach George

Who are you to tell me that I'm, you know. But the reality, if you look at it in the mindset we're all terminal, it is just the way we take it when we're used to like oh my God, the doctor says he's gonna come back or they tell you you're in remission. Come on man, give me, give me more positive stuff. Motivation, man, you're cancer free. And so, you know, but it's a, it's another topic of this human cycle. But I hope, I hope it was, you know, I hope it helps a lot of you and the audience understand or share this. And if you have any questions, they can actually reach me out and we can do a CLARITY Call for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, you know. But my, my, my advocacy in the past two years is.

coach George

It's more in the prevention with all these numbers man, that, that what's happening as you know. And this probably happens in Canada too. I mean there's, I mean pharmaceutical, it's, it's probably the biggest business in the world, I have to say. And I'm like, I don't, I'm not afraid to, to get in trouble with this. But I have to say that these folks are not going to find the cure for some of these diseases, especially cancer. Cancer is just a gold mine. And so. Oh, the cure for cancer, I'm going to donate here.

coach George

What are you talking about? You're giving in more power by donating to that. If you know how much has been invested since 1973 in pharmaceuticals in quote unquote, beat cancer, find the cure for cancer. That's, there's, it's not famous. It's, it's crazy. It's trillions of dollars. And you know how much investment has been in the holistic side and in all the alternative eastern stuff? Maybe, maybe a billion dollars in 50 years. So, yeah, it is just, it is something that has to come from the inside out that we talked the other day. And once you learn these things and put them into action, the thing is like the book of love says in the New Testament and one of the apostles, James, he says, show me your faith with your actions, because faith without action is death.

coach George

So if you realize that, if you humble yourself and say, man, I got sick, it's my fault. It's not because my mother or my grandmother, it's me, it's my lifestyle. Be honest to yourself and realize that the moment that you realize that you have the capacity, even if you go to an oncologist, but you got a responsibility to manage your health, your, your situation back to health and see if you were the, the reason you make yourself sick, you can make yourself again and healthy. It's, it's, it's, that's it, you know, Love it.

Phil Better

Yeah, George, we are coming to the end, which I hate, because this is a great episode and I'm glad we had you back on because with knowledge has been a godsend.
