I'm at the International COVID (or CRISIS) Summit #4 in Bucharest, Romania

NOV 16
Here is the Program.
https://www.internationalcovidsummit.com/
November 17 afternoon we have a private conference. I will post my own slides later. I will be discussing founding Door to Freedom, our goals, our methods, our assets, and how we did it! Thank the many very hardworking volunteers! (Secret: we have only 3 part-time employees and look at what we have accomplished! Though we also have a lawyer and accountant to get us our 501c3, then 501c4 status.)
November 18 and 19 a group of experts will give 20 minute talks in the Romanian Parliament, said to be the second largest building in the world, after the first largest, the Pentagon. But much more beautiful than the Pentagon. Constructed during the 1980s during the reign of the dictator Ceacescu. If I finish preparing my talk for the 19th I will get a tour of the building tomorrow am, and will tell you about this wonder of the world. Nov. 18-19 the presentations will stream. You can get the link at the URL above.

When was the last time you lit up some fancy candles, put them right up to your nose, sniffed their delightful scent, and thought to yourself:

“Sniff. Ahhhh… There’s nothing like the smell of C-A-N-C-E-R?”

I bet you never thought of it like that, did you?

It turns out that not everything that’s smells of sugar and spice and everything nice is actually good for you…

In fact, it’s extremely T-O-X-I-C!
So much so, that most of the irresistible scents you get from so many candles nowadays, actually creates a dangerous reaction to your body… Like Cancer!


Who knew that scented candles had a “Dark Side?”

There's nothing quite like that perfect aroma in your home to transform your house into a cozy oasis and help you unwind after a long day.

But, brace yourself for a scary plot twist: Some of our beloved candles might actually be a bit... toxic?

More than a bit, actually.

Turns out, most candles are made of paraffin wax, which releases not-so-sweet chemicals like benzene and formaldehyde when it burns…

And these unwelcome guests have been linked to allergies, asthma attacks, cancer and other health problems.

Plus, I mean… breathing formaldehyde just can’t be good, right?

No wonder "candle headaches" are a thing.

And, about those enchanting scents that transport us to a tropical paradise or a flower-filled meadow...

They’re actually created with chemicals that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can disrupt your hormones and even damage your reproductive system.

Dear Jimi,
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for joining us at the Cancer Breakthroughs Summit, which I had the privilege of co-hosting with Dr. Karlfeldt, ND, PhD.
As I shared during the summit, my journey in treating and researching cancer spans over 30 years, during which I have dedicated myself to the practice of integrative medicine. This approach combines conventional Western medical treatments with complementary cancer therapies derived from diverse medical systems.
I had the honor of interviewing esteemed integrative health experts at the summit. From the renowned naturopathic oncologist Dan Rubin, ND, to the prominent gluten specialist Tom O’Bryan, DC, each discussion left a profound impact on me. I genuinely hope that the connections I experienced with these experts resonate with you as you delve into healing therapies for cancer.
Did you have the opportunity to download and delve into your summit gift, The Ultimate Cancer Prevention and Treatment Companion — Your Roadmap to Wellness? This exclusive three-part eBook is reserved for summit participants and showcases revolutionary treatments rooted in my extensive research and hands-on work with cancer patients.
This fully referenced guide includes:
  • 7 ways to stay ahead of the cancer curve — surprisingly effective strategies to reduce your cancer risk
  • Treatment breakthroughs and clinical insights from a world-renowned cancer doctor
  • How to integrate conventional and complementary cancer therapies
  • Natural approaches that make chemo more effective
  • Supplement safety during cancer treatment — what’s OK to take and what’s not
  • Research-backed ingredients that work on the cellular level to restore balance within the body
  • Designing an anti-cancer therapy that includes IV infusions
  • What is apheresis and how can this next-level therapy help you overcome cancer?

Also reminder Jim that the Beta Glucan early black Friday sale is happening now!

This is one of the most powerful and effective immune modulators I know of, one that’s been recommended by countless holistic cancer researchers, including Chris on that note!

It was one of the first things we put my son on after he was diagnosed, and remains a staple in our immune support rotation to this day…

And right now is the BEST time of the year to stock up (we certainly do)! :)

PCOS is a bit of a medical mystery.

Doctors often don’t know why it happens or all the different ways to help their patients through lifestyle modifications, natural remedies, and hormonal treatments. They might just suggest birth control pills. If you're looking to approach PCOS without getting prescribed birth control, or know someone else who is, then I highly recommend you tune into the PCOS SOS Summit.

CLICK HERE to save your spot. >>

The team at Dr. Talks is hosting this summit with Felice Gersh, MD, and you will hear insights from over 40 experts in various fields, including nutrition, sexual health, mental health, endocrinology, gut health, and more.

Increasingly science agrees with the poetry of direct human experience: we are more than the atoms and molecules that make up our bodies, but beings of light as well. Biophotons are emitted by the human body, can be released through mental intention, and may modulate fundamental processes within cell-to-cell communication and DNA.​

Hi Jimi!
I have a new interview for you today with water fasting expert Dr. Csilla Veress!
Dr. Veress works one-on-one with water fasters every day at True North Health Center and over the last 10 years she has assisted thousands of patients in water fasting for up to 40 days!
Dr. Veress is passionate about helping patients achieve optimal health by supporting their innate ability to heal with fasting and whole food plant-based nutrition.
As most of you know, I'm a huge fan of water fasting and started using this ancient healing tool almost 20 years ago. I love water fasting because it's one of the most powerful things you can do to heal your body and it's free!
During a water fast, the body shifts from a state of digestion and energy production from food to a state of rest, repair, recycling and housecleaning. This process allows the body to eliminate toxins, promote autophagy, and offers various health benefits such as improved mental clarity, increased energy, weight loss, hormone regulation, cellular repair, immproved immune function, and much more!
In this new interview, the brilliant Dr. Csilla Veress and I take a deep dive into water fasting and cover some topics I've never discussed before...
Topics include:
-How Dr. Veress became a water fasting practitioner
-The processed food disease epidemic [8:52]
-The lost art of medicine: Investigation [10:53]
-Be prepared to flip your life upside down to heal [13:06]
-The purpose of water fasting [18:11]
-Detoxification through weight loss [20:44]
-Hormesis: the good stress [22:43]
-What to eat before a fast [28:15]
-The consequences of polypharmacy [30:02]
-Water fasting strategies for women [38:57]
-Hormone regulation with water fasting [42:57]
-The good bacteria in raw plant food [52:29]
-And more!
Don't miss this awesome interview with Dr. Csilla Veress. Enjoy!

There are 3 things that every cancer survivor knows...

1️⃣ How to harness food as medicine.
They starve cancer with nutrition and use techniques such as fasting-mimicking diets and nutrient timing.

They stay active while maintaining good sleep hygiene.

And oddly enough, this 3-step “triad” of diet, mind, and movement is exactly what prevents up to 90% of cancers from happening in the first place.

So whether you’re currently navigating a diagnosis, or wanting to prevent cancer or its recurrence...

Don’t miss your opportunity to learn all about these secrets to help ensure you either become or remain cancer-free.

Cranberry Almond Chia Pudding
Chia Pudding is a fantastic, quick-to-prepare, and highly customizable breakfast or snack option. With cranberries, cinnamon, and orange zest, we'd even consider this recipe as a holiday dessert!
Enjoy its' delicious creaminess and brain-boosting chia seeds, which are high in fiber, support gut health, and help keep you full.
Yield: Two Servings

Tips:
  1. Flavor Variations: Experiment with different flavors by adding a dash of cocoa powder or a tiny pinch of nutmeg.
  2. Nut Butter Swirl: Drizzle nut butter on top for an extra creamy boost and added protein.
  3. Protein Boost: Mix in a scoop of hemp powder to increase protein content.
  4. Coconut Cream: For a dessert touch, drizzle with coconut cream.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened nut milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 8 drops Sweet Leaf English Toffee Organic Sweet Drops
  • 1/4 cup fresh cranberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup almonds, pecans, or walnuts, chopped (optional)
  • Orange zest (optional)
Directions:
  1. Mix the Base: In a bowl or glass measuring cup, combine chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and English Toffee drops. Stir the mixture well to distribute the chia seeds evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight. Stir occasionally during the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping.
  2. Serve: When the pudding has reached your desired consistency (thicker is creamier), remove it from the fridge. Give it a good stir to make it smooth.
  3. Heat: You can have this breakfast hot or cold. If hot, put coconut oil into a small saucepan and heat on low to melt. Add fruit and stir. Add refrigerated chia pudding ingredients and stir until heated through. Alternatively, if you'd like to serve it cold, please look at step four.
  4. Top with Fresh Berries: Spoon the chia pudding into serving cups. Top with the fresh berries.
  5. Garnish (Optional): For an extra dessert touch, sprinkle a small amount of unsweetened shredded coconut, sliced orange or orange zest, and a dollop of coconut cream.

Winter is known for being hard on your skin…

Your face is the only part of your body which is often exposed to the harsh winds, weather and climate of the cold months.

The past few weeks we’ve seen and heard a lot about natural, organic skin care techniques to take better care of your skin and leave it nourished and refreshed.

…but have you ever looked into products you should NEVER put on your skin?

We recently published an article with a dermatologist talking about 8 products you should NEVER use on your skin.

Click here to read it on our website now (#5 surprised me)

Most of these products are everyday items that you likely have around your home…and likely use on your face daily.

Avoiding these products and keeping your body healthy with plenty of water and nutrients will go a long way to keeping healthy, beautiful skin!

Namaste,

Season Two of Too Cool For Midlife is now a wrap! Thank you to everyone for your feedback and love. ❤️

I will be back for Season Three in January.

In the meantime, if you need some listening recommendations here are the top three fan favorite episodes:
#1 - Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want
#2 - Bringing Sexy Back And Ending Low Libido
#3 - Using Ritual To Light Your Midlife Fire

One of MY favorites was my conversation with David Mehler, How to Move From Feeling Trapped And Unfulfilled to a Man on FIRE.

What I will be up this holiday season:
I have always had an interesting relationship with alcohol. So, as of the moment I hit "send" on this email, I have decided not to drink any alcohol this holiday season. I don't like the term "sober curious," but I guess that applies for now. More to follow.

If anyone wants to join me, a terrific book I highly recommend as a companion during your sober journey is Quit Like A Woman: The Radical Choice To Not Drink In A Culture Obsessed With Alcohol by Holly Whitaker.

And lastly, I want to share a short piece I wrote a few years back...that is still one of my favorites DRUNK, FAT, BITCH.

Happy Happy Holidays,

Hi Jimi,
Casseroles can be a great way to save time and money, use up leftovers, be creative, and feed a crowd.
But can you make them delicious without loading them up with ground meat, covering them in cheese, or topping them with crushed potato chips or Ritz crackers?
Get the whole casserole story and some amazing recipes that you’ll love, here.
Yours for nourishing and delicious foods,

Hi Jimi,

Today I'm excited to share a delicious condiment idea with you. This simple recipe is not only a family favorite - handed down from my Italian grandparents - but it also includes one of the most powerful herbs on the planet.

An herb that has been used for thousands of years to enhance flavor, as well as treat a variety of ailments.

I'm talking about GARLIC!

We love garlic in my house - not just because it tastes good and makes the house smell wonderful, but because it's nature's medicine.

I've shared the recipe for our homemade garlic & olive oil topping below, but first let's dive into some of garlic's superpowers...

Garlic is part of the Allium genus which includes onions, shallots, and leeks. Its major active component, the amino acid allicin, is enhanced when garlic is either crushed or chopped. It's also what gives fresh garlic its pungent, mouth-watering aroma.

Allicin from garlic has proven to be antibacterial and antiviral, making it a natural remedy that wards off all types of germs. It increases the production of white blood cells - the very cells that fight off infections. This alone makes garlic perfect for keeping the immune system strong and healthy during the wintertime (or really any time of the year).

And on top of its immunity-boosting benefits, garlic has been shown to kill certain types of cancer cells, including lung and prostate. It's also proven to be effective at preventing and treating heart disease -- specifically helping people lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

It makes you wonder what this little bulb can't do...

How to Lower Blood Pressure in 2 Weeks

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.


Changing lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise can slash blood pressure in only 14 days, says a recent study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition.

In fact, the lifestyle changes lowered blood pressure as effectively as medication. On average, participants in the study saw their blood pressure drop 19 points after taking part in the Weimer Institute Newstart Lifestyle program for just 14 days.

Special: Heart Surgeon's Secret to Healthy Blood Pressure

Other studies have shown that a blood pressure reduction of this significance can cut the risk of heart disease or stroke in half.

People participating in the Newstart Lifestyle program follow a vegan diet, walk outside daily, drink substantial quantities of water, get adequate daily sleep, and participate in optional spiritual activities.

The program's vegan diet consists of foods such as legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, olives, avocados, soymilk, almond milk, and whole-grain breads.

For the study, the researchers evaluated data from 117 people with high blood pressure who had participated in the Newstart Lifestyle program at the Weimer Institute for 14 days. After two weeks, half of the participants achieved a systolic blood pressure below the recommended 120 mmHg.

The program lowered blood pressure effectively in different types of individuals, including otherwise healthy men and women with diabetes, people who were obese, and those with high cholesterol levels.

The reduction in blood pressure was equivalent to using three half-dose standard medications for blood pressure. In addition, 93% of the participants were able to either reduce the dose (24%) or eliminate their blood pressure medications (69%)
