I'll argue with whoever about this because my argue with whoever about this because my argue with whoever about this because my intuition tells me before my head starts intuition tells me before my head starts intuition tells me before my head starts thinking. And if I listen to my gut, not thinking. And if I listen to my gut, not thinking. And if I listen to my gut, not only is it my emotional center, only is it my emotional center, only is it my emotional center, but it's also like where the food is but it's also like where the food is but it's also like where the food is coming through your body to get coming through your body to get coming through your body to get eliminated. So, you're you're doing the eliminated. So, you're you're doing the eliminated. So, you're you're doing the colonics and I've done you know, three colonics and I've done you know, three colonics and I've done you know, three rounds of parasite cleanses. Do you know rounds of parasite cleanses. Do you know rounds of parasite cleanses. Do you know what I mean? So, it's like it's still what I mean? So, it's like it's still what I mean? So, it's like it's still like detoxing the body and eliminating like detoxing the body and eliminating like detoxing the body and eliminating the toxins in the body that no longer the toxins in the body that no longer the toxins in the body that no longer serve you for your best serve you for your best serve you for your best health performance, right?

And um and whether it's a colonic or it's a whether it's a colonic or it's a whether it's a colonic or it's a parasite cleanse, I believe that, again, parasite cleanse, I believe that, again, parasite cleanse, I believe that, again, I'll fight anyone on this. I'll fight anyone on this. I'll fight anyone on this. Um that the term, when I was younger, Um that the term, when I was younger, Um that the term, when I was younger, you would hear people when you got sick, you would hear people when you got sick, you would hear people when you got sick, they'd go, "Oh, you have a stomach bug."

they'd go, "Oh, you have a stomach bug." they'd go, "Oh, you have a stomach bug." Okay, all terminology has come from Okay, all terminology has come from Okay, all terminology has come from somewhere. somewhere. somewhere. So, where did you have a stomach bug So, where did you have a stomach bug So, where did you have a stomach bug come from? And I believe because come from? And I believe because come from? And I believe because parasites have been around a long time parasites have been around a long time parasites have been around a long time and a lot of people have known that if and a lot of people have known that if and a lot of people have known that if you are sick, you you are sick, you you are sick, you might have a parasite like in you know might have a parasite like in you know might have a parasite like in you know somewhere in your body that's affecting somewhere in your body that's affecting somewhere in your body that's affecting your health.

Like you're we're composed of of certain you're we're composed of of certain you're we're composed of of certain elements, right? Like the periodic elements, right? Like the periodic elements, right? Like the periodic table. table. table. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> There are specific elements in the human >> There are specific elements in the human >> There are specific elements in the human body that body that body that when you're when you're trying to when you're when you're trying to when you're when you're trying to introduce food that's ultra-processed introduce food that's ultra-processed introduce food that's ultra-processed that has like ingredients you can't even that has like ingredients you can't even that has like ingredients you can't even pronounce, pronounce, pronounce, like what is actually going into your like what is actually going into your like what is actually going into your body?

body? body? And so, how is your body trying to And so, how is your body trying to And so, how is your body trying to process that foreign element process that foreign element process that foreign element and integrate it into its ecosystem? and integrate it into its ecosystem? and integrate it into its ecosystem? Right? Like we are we are specific Right? Like we are we are specific Right? Like we are we are specific elements. The human body is made of elements. The human body is made of elements.

And so and so when you're introducing foreign elements, your introducing foreign elements, your introducing foreign elements, your body's going to think that it needs to body's going to think that it needs to body's going to think that it needs to attack them. And it thinks that attack them. And it thinks that attack them. And it thinks that that it's like something that that it's that it's like something that that it's that it's like something that that it's putting it in danger. And then your putting it in danger. And then your putting it in danger. And then your brain reacts to that. I think that's the brain reacts to that. I think that's the brain reacts to that. I think that's the most resident thing for me. Cuz then most resident thing for me. Cuz then most resident thing for me. Cuz then your brain is now like is on hyper your brain is now like is on hyper your brain is now like is on hyper alert, is in flight is in fight or alert, is in flight is in fight or alert, is in flight is in fight or flight.
