Heal Your Trauma Quickly Without Reliving the Pain with Judith Richards​

What if healing isn’t about talking more — but about telling your nervous system: It’s over. You’re safe now?

In this week’s episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with trauma expert Judith Richards, founder of The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP), a revolutionary approach to healing by addressing trauma at its root.

We explore why traditional talk therapy often isn’t enough, how trauma loops keep us stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, and the powerful events that informed Judith’s unlikely path — including a life-changing moment with the Dalai Lama.

Judith’s personal story is nothing short of extraordinary. Surviving childhood abuse, stalkers, physical injury, and a severe mental breakdown, she walks us through her raw, real descent into madness, isolation, and despair. But from that darkness, TRTP was born: a revolutionary trauma resolution process that empowers people to break free from emotional pain, anxiety, depression, and chronic illness.

She also explains how some of the most devastating patterns in our lives are not always caused by what happened — but by what didn’t: emotional absence, insecure attachments, and unspoken, neglected needs.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of just coping and ready to truly thrive. Whether you’ve faced major trauma or feel trapped in a cycle of relentless pain or stuck-ness, Judith offers a powerful reframe: healing doesn’t have to take forever — and it doesn’t require reliving the past. You’ll walk away with insights, tools, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Key Themes in This Week's Episode:​

🧠 Judith shares her raw and powerful story of surviving childhood sexual abuse and decades of re-victimization.
🌀 How TRTP was born from her own desperate need to heal.
🧬 Why trauma lives in the subconscious — and what happens when it’s finally resolved.
🔁 The TRTP method: just three sessions to rewire the fight/flight response at the root.
⚖️ The surprising reasons people resist healing — and why readiness matters.
🌟 Judith’s message of hope: “No one is broken beyond repair.”

There are several "Rules of the Mind" that I cover in my training and courses, but four key ones that determine how you experience everything in your life are…

Rule 1: Your Mind Does What It Thinks You Want

Your subconscious is constantly trying to protect you and meet your needs. If you communicate to your mind that you want something (through your focus, thoughts, and language), it will work tirelessly to help you achieve it.

The problem? Most people accidentally communicate what they don't want.

Rule 2: Imagination Is More Powerful Than Knowledge

Your mind responds more strongly to your imagination than to facts or logic. This is why you can know something is "irrational" but still feel afraid, anxious, or stuck.

By creating vivid mental images of what you want, you can influence your mind to create the outcome you desire.

Rule 3: Your Mind Responds to Pictures and Words

The language you use and the images you create in your mind have a massive impact on your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

This is why saying "I'm trying to lose weight" keeps you stuck, while "I am becoming healthier every day" creates momentum.

Rule 4: Your Mind Moves Toward Pleasure and Away From Pain

Your mind naturally seeks experiences that bring pleasure and avoids those that cause pain. The key is learning to associate positive feelings with your goals and growth, rather than with staying comfortable.

Most people try to change by fighting these rules instead of using them. They rely on willpower to force change, only to find themselves back where they started.

But when you understand how your mind actually works, you can design your thoughts and language to align with these natural principles.

Three simple techniques to start using these rules today:

  1. Identify the limiting belief - Write down the negative thought that's been holding you back. Just bringing it to the surface weakens its power over you.

  2. Challenge the belief - Ask yourself: "Is this actually true?" Look for evidence to the contrary. Most limiting beliefs crumble under gentle questioning.

  3. Replace the belief - Create a new, positive belief to take its place. Instead of "I'm not good enough," try "I am capable and deserving of success." Repeat it regularly to reprogram your mind.
The result? Building resilience and overcoming challenges becomes easier, not harder.

THE TRUTH ABOUT AVOCADOS

U.S. Importers Sued for ‘Greenwashing’ Mexican Avocados​

By Isabella Kaminski, Civil Eats:
“A 2023 investigation by the NGO Climate Rights International found vast tracts of forest being cleared for avocado plantations, water being diverted to irrigate the thirsty crop, and evidence of the mucky fingerprints of organized crime.
It concluded that virtually all deforestation for avocados in Michoacán and Jalisco over the past two decades was illegal. As a result, the report holds the industry liable for taking a serious toll on local communities, contributing to land grabs and water shortages, degrading the soil, and increasing the risks of lethal landslides and flooding.
Now, U.S. avocado growers and consumer groups are accusing major fruit firms of falsely portraying imported fruit as a sustainable option.
The non-profit Organic Consumers Association (OCA) fired the first shots, filing lawsuits in 2024 against four of the biggest avocado importers: Calavo, Mission, West Pak, and Fresh Del Monte. These companies import avocados from Mexico and supply them to major supermarket chains throughout the U.S., including Costco, Walmart, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods. OCA claims statements on these companies’ websites and social media that their avocados are sourced responsibly and sustainably are untrue.”

Read how Alexis Baden-Mayer, political director of OCA, notes that all imported avocados must be labeled with the country of origin, but that’s often the only truthful statement conveyed to the consumer. “The impact of avocado farming is a carefully guarded secret that the companies conceal with elaborate greenwashing,” she said. “That’s what we took action against.”

AVOCADO-DRIVEN DEFORESTATION

Tell Congress to Stop The Corporate Crime Spree​

After being the subject of an investigation by Climate Rights International and then sued by the Organic Consumers Association, avocado importer Calavo pledged not to buy avocados grown on recently cleared land. Enforcement responsibilities fall on Mexico. Will Calavo bribe its way into compliance?
Calavo disclosed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice on January 31, 2024, that its operations in Mexico raised potential issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), a delicate way of suggesting it might have been bribing Mexican officials. In April 2024, the company volunteered that it had spent $5 million over six months investigating itself for FCPA violations, in anticipation of potential actions that could be taken against it by the SEC, the Department of Justice, or Mexican authorities.
Then, President Trump’s Justice Department announced it wouldn’t enforce the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and in its next SEC submission, in June 2025, Calavo said it did not “anticipate any near-term action from the government’s FCPA inquiry.”
Trump’s decision to stop enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is unleashing a corporate crime spree. This lawlessness can’t be allowed to continue. Please require Trump to enforce the FCPA.

BAN TOXIC PFAS

Some Gut Microbes Can Absorb and Help Expel ‘Forever Chemicals’ From the Body, Research Shows​

Tom Perkins reports for The Guardian:
“Certain kinds of gut microbes absorb toxic PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ and help expel them from the body via feces, new first-of-its-kind University of Cambridge research shows.
The findings are welcome news as the only options that exist for reducing the level of dangerous PFAS compounds from the body are bloodletting and a cholesterol drug that induces unpleasant side effects.
The microbes were found to remove up to 75% of some PFAS from the gut of mice. Several of the study’s authors plan to develop probiotic dietary supplements that boost levels of helpful microbes in the human gut, which would likely reduce PFAS levels.”
Read about how if this could be used in humans to create probiotics that can help remove PFAS from the body, then this would be a nicer solution in that it wouldn’t have so many side effects

FOOD WASTE SOLUTIONS

How America’s Most Popular Supermarkets Handle Their Unsold Groceries​

Diane Bobis writes for The Take Out:
“Trader Joe’s runs an impactful food recovery program at all of its stores nationwide. This begins at the crew member level. Seven days a week, its workers actively remove any groceries that no longer meet quality standards. These could be items approaching their expiration date, misshapen produce, or products with damaged packaging. Trader Joe’s shelves are typically restocked overnight or early in the morning, donating 100% of unsold food that’s still safe to consume to local non-profit organizations through Trader Joe’s Neighborhood Shares program.


According to Trader Joe’s, each store employs a donation coordinator to oversee contributions to the community. In 2024 alone, the grocery chain donated over 98 million pounds of high-quality groceries to more than 2,000 food banks and hunger-relief organizations across the country. If the food can’t be used for human nourishment, it’s often used by local farmers for compost.
For example, a rancher known as Cowboy Max shared a TikTok in 2022 thanking his local Trader Joe’s for two bins of pumpkins that helped feed his livestock. ‘They could have just put them right in the dumpster,’ Max explained, explaining how the unsold gourds would be utilized on the farm.”

BILLIONS AGAINST BAYER

A New Bayer Protection Act?​

Bayer wants Congress to relieve it of liability for the illnesses and deaths of people who got non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from Monsanto’s glyphosate-based Roundup weed killer. It’s spending $8.5 million a year lobbying Congress in hopes of saving billions.
Bayer is a foreign corporation and shouldn’t be able to make political contributions, but buying Monsanto in 2018 changed that. With a U.S. subsidiary, it too can buy politicians just like American companies do.
On Tuesday, the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee passed a spending bill with a provision, Sec. 453, that prevents the Environmental Protection Agency from allowing states to require warnings on pesticide labels. This would protect Bayer from California’s efforts to label Roundup carcinogenic.
Sec. 453 says the EPA can’t spend any of the money Congress gives it next year on pesticide labels unless it makes a formal determination of carcinogenicity or other human health harms under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
This provision is aimed at limiting lawsuits against pesticide manufacturers based on state-mandated warnings and prioritizes industry interests over public health and safety and undermines states’ ability to protect their residents from harmful pesticides.
TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to Ban Roundup, Not Bail Out Bayer!
After being chased off the market in 2022 by the legal eagles at the Center for Food Safety, BASF’s trifludimoxazin-based Tirexor weed killer is being given another chance by Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA wants to approve this dangerous pesticide with human health risks including cancer, as well as non-cancerous damage to the liver, thyroid, epididymis (where sperm mature and are stored), spinal cord, and brain.
TAKE ACTION BY JULY 26: Stop EPA Approval of Trifludimoxazin!

Gen Z Resurfaced the Ice Bucket for a New Cause — And It’s Going Viral Again​

Maggie Ryan, SheKnows:
“The ice bucket challenge resurfaced at the University of South Carolina, where students in the Mental Illness Needs Discussion (MIND) club began using it to raise money for Active Minds, a nonprofit organization focused on mobilizing youth and addressing mental health stigma. That was back in March. As of late April, the #SpeakYourMIND hashtag has over 200,000 posts and has garnered support from celebrities like James Charles and the hosts of the Today show, who did it live on-air. To date, the new ice bucket challenge has raised over $340,000 for Active Minds, far surpassing the initial $500 goal set by USC students, per NBC.
And while that’s a major accomplishment, the ice bucket challenge is also helping to raise awareness around mental health and chip away at the stigma that still surrounds it. Because of that, experts believe this kind of movement can make a real difference. ‘I actually just saw it yesterday on my own social media feed,’ Heather Hagen, MS, LMFT, Executive Director of Clinical Outpatient Services at Newport Healthcare tells SheKnows. ‘I’m personally thrilled. Anything that we can do to call awareness to the mental health struggle is a good thing.’”

Healing Powers of Garlic
As scientists look into the effects of diet on health, they're finding that more and more everyday foods offer benefits that go well beyond making dishes tastier.
Garlic, an ingredient found in almost every cuisine, has emerged as one such superfood.
Special: Doctor: All Multivitamins Are Not the Same
Part of the allium family, which includes onions and leeks, garlic has a number of compounds that supply its health-boosting effects as well as its pungent aroma.
According to wide-ranging research, garlic can seemingly improve immunity and heart health, possibly help prevent as well as fight certain cancers, and lower triglycerides and total cholesterol. Its many compounds include antioxidants and allicin, which has antibacterial properties, researchers report.
Some of these benefits can be seen after eating just one meal with raw garlic. Yet overall there's enough evidence to have at least half of a clove every day. To get the most benefits, first chop, slice, or crush fresh garlic — this fires up a process that makes its compounds more potent. Wait five to 10 minutes before eating or using in a dish, especially if you'll be mixing it with a highly acidic food like lemon juice.

Yesterday we talked about the 4 Rules of the Mind that govern how you experience everything in your life.

Today, I want to share the practical strategies you can use immediately to build a resilient mindset - one that bounces back from setbacks instead of getting stuck in them.

Over my 30+ year career as a therapist, I've discovered that resilience isn't something you're born with or without.

It's a skill you can develop using specific techniques that work with your mind's natural patterns.

Here's what's fascinating: your brain is constantly rewiring itself based on what you practice most.

Every thought you think, every action you take, every habit you repeat is literally strengthening certain neural pathways while weakening others.

This means when you repeatedly practice behaviors that build confidence and resilience, your brain physically changes to make these states more natural and automatic.

It's like going to the gym for your mind - the more you work out certain mental muscles, the stronger they become.

The key is knowing which behaviors actually create these changes, rather than just hoping positive thinking will be enough.

Here are my 8 favorite strategies for building mental resilience:

1. Activating your ‘inner cheerleader’
Stop waiting for other people to praise and encourage you. Start celebrating your own achievements, no matter how small. When you learn to give yourself the validation you're seeking from others, you build an unshakeable foundation for confidence.

2. Build ‘unshakeable confidence’
Focus on your strengths and accomplishments instead of your perceived flaws. Make a list of your unique talents and abilities. Review it regularly. Confidence comes from recognizing what you're already capable of, not from hoping you'll be good enough someday.

3. Embody an abundant mindset
Shift away from scarcity thinking by focusing on what's available to you right now. Acknowledge the potential that exists within you and around you. Cultivate gratitude for the resources you have access to. This opens your mind to opportunities you couldn't see before.

4. Silence your internal critic
That negative voice in your head isn't telling you the truth - it's trying to keep you safe by keeping you small. Challenge its validity and replace critical thoughts with supportive ones. Become your own biggest cheerleader instead of your harshest judge.

5. Practice self-compassion
Treat yourself with the same kindness you'd show a good friend facing difficulties. When you mess up or face challenges, respond with understanding rather than harsh criticism. Self-compassion builds resilience because it removes the fear of being "wrong."

6. Develop a growth mindset
View challenges as opportunities to learn and grow rather than threats to avoid. When you approach difficulties with curiosity instead of fear, you become more willing to take the risks necessary for growth.

7. Cultivate strong relationships
Build connections with people who uplift and encourage you. Having a supportive network to lean on during tough times makes an enormous difference in your ability to bounce back from adversity.

8. Practice mindfulness and stress reduction
Incorporate meditation, deep breathing, or yoga into your daily routine. These practices help you manage stress and maintain mental balance, giving you greater clarity and calmness when facing challenges.

The key to making these work:

Remember yesterday's rules: your mind responds to repetition and moves toward what feels familiar. The more you practice these strategies, the more natural resilience becomes.

You can absolutely teach yourself to implement these - that's the beauty of understanding how your mind works.

(And once you master them for yourself, you can help others develop the same resilience. That's exactly what I do through RTT®, and what I teach others to do as a fulfilling career helping people transform their lives).

Start with just one strategy that resonates most with you. Practice it consistently for a week, then add another.

Tomorrow, I'll share a video where I explain how to move your mind from focusing on problems to imagining your dreams into reality - it's one of the most powerful rules of the mind.

Which of these 8 tools do you need most right now?

Body Fat Location and Prostate Cancer




One of the first areas I address with my patients is fat management and the importance of losing excess weight from fat if needed.



The reason? Fat gain is linked with a higher risk of prostate cancer and can make your cancer grow and spread more quickly. In addition, extra weight increases inflammation in the body, which acts as fuel for cancer cells. This is why proper diet and exercise are the cornerstones of the XY Wellness Integrative Roadmap.



Yet, a study published in the journal Cancer looked closer at this link between prostate cancer and weight gain and found that fat distribution is where your excess fat lies and may determine your cancer's seriousness. That's right! It's not only a matter of having extra layers of fluffy tissue around the body, but the location of fat in the body matters too.



Research recruited over 1,800 cancer-free men from Iceland and measured their abdominal and thigh fat with CT scans. Measurements of their waist and body mass index (BMI) were also taken, which estimates a person's risk of obesity using height and weight.



After about 13 years, approximately 170 men got prostate cancer. Those with larger waist sizes and higher BMI numbers had more significant risks of advanced and fatal cancer.



No surprise there. But exactly where their extra fat was stored increased their risk even more.



Location of Body Fat Matters in Prostate Cancer



The researchers found that a build-up of visceral fat—the fat that lies deep in the abdomen and surrounds the major organs—and subcutaneous fat—the pinchable kind that lies just under the skin—were linked to worse cancer outcomes.



Specifically, each unit increase in visceral fat was associated with a 31% higher risk of developing advanced prostate cancer. In addition, each unit increase of subcutaneous fat in the thigh was associated with a 37% higher risk of dying from prostate cancer.



But what I thought was most interesting was that the fat-cancer connection was strong even among those with a low BMI. In other words, even men with a normal BMI—which suggests they were not clinically overweight—were still at risk for aggressive prostate cancer because of where they carried their fat.



What does this mean for you?



For the longest time, I've clinically noticed that measuring BMI is insufficient to determine patients' health status. For example, sometimes patients have low BMI but high visceral fat. Such patients are called "skinny fat" - they look skinny but hold excess body fat.



There are three ways to reduce visceral fat, physical exercise, intermittent fasting, and eating clean.



Physical exercise done right is essential to reduce body fat and promote longevity. Interval exercise, meaning alternating short bursts (approximately 30 seconds) of intense activity with longer intervals (one to three minutes) of less intense activity, is an excellent approach. Combine interval exercise with weight resistance for better results.



Intermittent fasting can mean anything from not eating for 16 hours and consuming all your food within 8 hours to fasting twice a week and eating for the remaining five days. The goal is to abstain from eating macronutrients (carbs, fat, and protein) for a prolonged period of time. Instead, you can have water, tea, and coffee (no milk or sugar).



Eating Clean is accomplished by following the XY Wellness Diet developed to help men with prostate cancer. There is no need to look further if your goal is to live your best life after prostate cancer.



As always, stay the course and rebuild, renew and reclaim your health.



Yours in Good Health,

If you’re looking for a simple summer dinner that supports your hormones and satisfies your taste buds, wild-caught salmon is a delicious place to start.

Salmon is rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and selenium, nutrients that help reduce inflammation, stabilize blood sugar, and support your thyroid and brain health.

It’s also one of the best foods you can eat to nourish your hormones.

Today I’m sharing a no-fuss recipe that’s perfect for your summer table.
mail
Lemon-Herb Grilled Salmon

Ingredients:
  • 4 wild-caught salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions:
  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour marinade over the top. Marinate in the fridge for 15–30 minutes.
Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill salmon for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it flakes easily with a fork.

No grill? Try one of these indoor variations:

Oven:
  • Preheat to 400°F.
  • Place marinated salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Stovetop:
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
  • Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5–6 minutes, then flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until done.
Pair this salmon with roasted or grilled summer veggies (like zucchini, peppers, or asparagus) for a hormonally balanced meal that’s light, satisfying, and full of flavor.

Enjoy every bite, your body will thank you.

WHAT'S TRENDING: Let's Discuss Memory Loss, Take a Look at This Popular Tip From Albert Einstein for 2025!​






What did Albert Einstein’s brain teach the world about memory loss and even dementia?​


Plenty! After Albert Einstein died, a Princeton researcher studied his brain and discovered it was very different than the average brain.

Not in size or weight, but in its vast number of neural cells and connections. In other words, Albert Einstein had a dense brain.

How can that help you? You’ll be surprised.​


Einstein lived to a ripe old age — dying of a stomach aneurysm brought on by too much pipe smoking — but even in his advanced years his thinking skills remained highly effective.

That’s because his neural cells and connections were so vast and dense that the type of brain decline we associate with dementia could never get a foothold and cause damage. And thus Einstein retained his considerable mental capacity to the very end.

According to Dr. Karise Simmons — a leading authority on brain health and the author of “The Memory Recovery Blueprint”… “Memory loss is really just a loss of brain cells and its connections.”

“But the good news,” says Dr. Simmons, “Is you can build more neural cells and connections at any age.” And you don’t have to be a genius to do it.

In a special video presentation, Dr. Simmons has outlined 8 specific things you can do to potentially help build up your brain in order to stay sharp.

In his presentation, Dr. Simmons also includes a case study of your dad, who suffered from “severe cognitive decline” and started doing several of the things he already highlighted in order to see some decent changes, which of course may vary.

The 8 things Dr. Simmons recommends are easy to do, and even fun. See them here >>

Good old government, always protecting powerful multinational corporations.

A New Bayer Protection Act?​

Bayer wants Congress to relieve it of liability for the illnesses and deaths of people who got non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma from Monsanto’s glyphosate-based Roundup weed killer. It’s spending $8.5 million a year lobbying Congress in hopes of saving billions.

Bayer is a foreign corporation and shouldn’t be able to make political contributions, but buying Monsanto in 2018 changed that. With a U.S. subsidiary, it too can buy politicians just like American companies do.

On Tuesday, the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee passed a spending bill with a provision, Sec. 453, that prevents the Environmental Protection Agency from allowing states to require warnings on pesticide labels. This would protect Bayer from California’s efforts to label Roundup carcinogenic.

Sec. 453 says the EPA can’t spend any of the money Congress gives it next year on pesticide labels unless it makes a formal determination of carcinogenicity or other human health harms under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.

This provision is aimed at limiting lawsuits against pesticide manufacturers based on state-mandated warnings and prioritizes industry interests over public health and safety and undermines states’ ability to protect their residents from harmful pesticides.

Ban Roundup, don't bail out Bayer!

TAKE ACTION: Tell Your State to Ban Glyphosate, Not Bail Out Bayer!

Bayer is the only U.S. maker of glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup. Bayer manufactures 70% of North America's Roundup in Muscatine, Iowa. Iowa has the second-highest cancer rate in the country, according to the 2024 Iowa Cancer Registry. The cancer registry predicted that...

Today, I want to share one of the most powerful rules of the mind that explains why some people succeed while others stay stuck.
Here's something that might surprise you: in every battle between your imagination and logic, imagination always wins.
Think about it. You might logically know that speaking in public is safe, but if you imagine forgetting your words or being judged, you'll still feel anxious.
Or you might know someone is trustworthy, but if you imagine worst-case scenarios, you'll still feel worried - because your imagination creates a stronger emotional response than facts do.
This is why willpower fails so often. You're trying to use logic to override something much more powerful: the pictures and stories your mind creates.
But here's the exciting part: once you understand this rule, you can use your imagination deliberately to create the outcomes you want instead of the ones you fear.
I recorded a short video explaining exactly how to do this across four crucial areas of your life:​
Watch: Imagine Your Dreams Into Reality
In this video, you'll discover:
  • Why imagination overrides logic every time - and the simple proof that shows this rule in action

  • How to use your imagination for better health - instead of Googling symptoms and talking yourself into being sick

  • The wealth mindset shift - how to stop imagining money as "bad" and start seeing it as a tool for good

  • Career confidence techniques - what to tell yourself before interviews, assessments, and dealing with difficult clients

  • The love and relationship reframe - how to stop imagining rejection and start believing you're worthy of love

  • The choice you have in every moment - how to talk yourself into success instead of out of it
This isn't about positive thinking or affirmations. It's about understanding how your mind actually works and using that knowledge strategically.
Watch the video and notice: where have you been accidentally using your imagination against yourself?​

Hi Jimi,



Did you know that many of the foods we eat every day contain chemicals that are banned in Europe and other parts of the world?



While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) delays and downplays the danger…Big Food and Big Pharma keep profiting from the ignorance and sickness of the general population.



Enough is enough! Time to expose the "hidden truth" behind the poisoning of the U.S. food supply. I urge you to request this special gift from Jonathan Otto, an investigative journalist below:



👉 Find Out How They Poison the Food Supply and How to Fight Back



This gift eBook exposes how dangerous additives, synthetic nutrients, and food labeling tricks are fueling a silent health crisis across the U.S.A.



For example, titanium dioxide is being used to whiten everything from candy to bread. The EU banned this toxic chemical for potentially damaging DNA…



But in the U.S. food supply? This toxin is still found in way too many foods.



In truth, most food additives in the U.S. haven’t been reviewed in decades…


Many new ones don’t get reviewed at all. For example, fish can be risky...



A Costco smoked salmon recall represents a painful reminder of how serious this issue really is.


In addition, Listeria monocytogenes, a deadly bacteria, was detected in over 100 cases of Kirkland Signature salmon.



Pregnant women, young children, and seniors are most at risk — but anyone exposed could suffer serious illness or even premature death.



This is exactly why Jonathan Otto created this eBook "Sick Profits" - how our food supply is being poisoned and how to fight back — in order to help you recognize what’s really going on and take greater control of your health.
