Hey Jimi,
What if improving your digestion, energy, cravings, and overall health had less to do with restriction…
And more to do with variety?
Research is showing that people who eat 30+ different plant foods per week tend to have a healthier, more diverse gut microbiome and that affects far more than digestion.

I just wrote a new article about why plant diversity matters, what counts toward your weekly total, and simple ways to add more variety without making meals complicated.
You may be surprised how doable this really is.

If you deal with stiff, aching joints… there’s something important most people never realize:

It’s not just “wear and tear.”

And it’s not just aging.

There’s a very specific chain reaction happening inside your joints that keeps the pain going -- day after day.

And once you see it… you can start to interrupt it.

You’ll understand exactly what I mean when you get this new guide by clicking below (it's one of four excellent new health guides you're getting free):

→ Anti-Inflammatory Remedies for Joint Pain

This guide even provides correct doses of the natural remedies and can be immediately helpful if joint pain has been slowing you down.

Inside, you’ll uncover:

• The 14 very powerul natural anti-inflammatory remedies for joint pain

• What’s really happening inside your joints when inflammation doesn’t “turn off”

• Why some people feel worse in the morning -- even if they rested all night

• The little-known way your nervous system can amplify joint pain signals

• Why certain joints (hands, knees, hips) tend to get hit first -- and spread

• How different types of joint pain (like autoimmune vs. wear-and-tear) require completely different approaches

This isn’t just theory.

The guide walks you through the specific top research-backed natural approaches including those that:

• Work directly at the site of pain (not just system-wide)

• Target the exact chemical messengers that trigger pain signals

• Help calm the underlying inflammatory cycle instead of chasing symptoms

Many of these potent approaches will surprise you, and you can explore it all right here:

→ Get your free joint pain report + 3 other exceptional guides right here

This comes from respected natural health researcher Sarah Otto…

And it’s being provided to you free as part of her upcoming online event:

Trust Expertise, Not Influencers

There is so much medical misinformation and nonsense circulating that it is putting all of us at risk. The military saying of “separate the signal from the noise” applies here. Trust legitimately credentialed experts, and ignore those who lack applicable domain expertise. Listen to doctors, not influencers, and listen to doctors who specifically have developed domain expertise in the area of your specific malady over those who have not. Geo Espinosa is a naturopathic doctor (so trained in nutraceuticals and dietary supplements) who runs a leading integrative urology clinic at NYU Langone with a particular focus on prostate cancer. This is why he is our Medical Director and why you can rely on his insights and guidance in this noisy online environment. Do yourself a favor, pick the right expert for you, and then do your best to cancel out the noise.



Stressful Economic Times

Yes, inflation and a “K Shaped” economy is weighing heavily on many of us. We are doing our best to hold the line on pricing at XY Wellness despite materially increasing costs. Knowing that we are a “must have” for men living with this diagnosis, we strive to provide the best possible retail price every day to everyone, and we heavily subsidize the actual cost of shipping to your door.



My annual New Year tradition is to select a dozen or so customers (who are not patients of Dr. Geo) who demonstrate their ongoing commitment to our Integrative Program and to their own long-term success. As recognition, I issue a reusable code for them to apply during checkout that will in effect make every tenth order on us. In light of these stressful economic times, this year I will also be reviewing nominees for this earned benefit in late June with notifications of award going out around the 4th of July.



Tools Freely Available to You



Together, Dr. Geo and I offer a 360-degree perspective on living with and overcoming prostate cancer. Here is a sample of what is freely available to you on our website. We encourage you to tap into it and freely share it with other men:



That’s it for today. We earn our results daily, so please stay the course and let us

TAKE ACTION

General Mills’ Broken Pesticide Promises​

General Mills is a bastion of ultra-processed, genetically modified foods, but it’s always found ways to make it look like it’s part of the regenerative organic movement.

Its worst greenwashing was when it used its Honey Nut Cheerios brand for a Bring Back the Bees campaign – never mentioning that glyphosate and chlormequat, pesticides used to harvest the cereal’s oats, were implicated in Colony Collapse Disorder.

In 2016, General Mills announced a partnership with Organic Valley to expand its organic yogurt offerings by transitioning dairy farmers to organic. In 2025, it sold its yogurt division. Its organic lines were dropped—along with its organic farmers.

In 2019, General Mills announced it had put “strategies in place to reduce synthetic pesticide use,” but that didn’t stop the company from selling pesticide-soaked breakfast cereals. Worryingly, one of its organic cereals was contaminated with chlormequat, suggesting that General Mills may be buying fraudulent organic oats from overseas.

The latest news is that General Mills has abandoned its commitment to reduce pesticides.

We can’t let this slide. It isn’t okay for a company to lure its customers with false promises it’s never going to deliver on.

TAKE ACTION, BOYCOTT and/or CALL

Boycott General Mills and divert your dollars to independent organic brands or, better yet, local regenerative organic farms.

Give General Mills a piece of your mind. Call the company at 1-800-248-7310.

Please help us spread the word about General Mills’ pesticide reduction fraud by forwarding this newsletter or sharing this article.

FOOD & AGRICULTURE

Regenerative Food Labels: What’s Behind the Claim?​

by Charlotte Vallaeys, Dr. Kendra Klein, Sarah Starman, Friends of the Earth:

“A growing number of food labels claim to verify that foods are regeneratively grown. But with no widely accepted definition of regenerative agriculture, and each label offering its own interpretation of what qualifies, what do these labels really mean?

To help consumers navigate this crowded landscape, we evaluated how ten labeling programs stack up in terms of phasing out harmful pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, building soil health, verifying farmer practices, and tracking products from farm to shelf.

We found that regenerative labeling programs vary dramatically in what they require — and some of the most rigorous standards meeting regenerative principles don’t use the term at all.

Importantly, while many consumers reasonably assume that ‘regenerative’ food is grown without toxic pesticides, that’s not always the case. The report found wide variation across three critical areas: toxic pesticide and synthetic fertilizer use, soil health practices, and standard integrity related to verification and traceability.”

NEW STUDY

New Research Finds That Almost All Plant-Based Meat Alternatives Contain Mycotoxins​

Press Release, Cranville University:

“New research into plant-based food and drinks has found a prevalence of mycotoxins – naturally occurring poisonous compounds produced by fungi – in hundreds of vegetarian and vegan products. 212 plant-based meat alternatives (PMBAs) and plant-based beverages (PBBs) from UK shelves were tested – and all of them contained at least one of 19 mycotoxins, with multiple products containing more than one.

The study, led by the University of Parma in Italy and co-authored by Cranfield University, tested a broad spectrum of products readily available to UK consumers such as burgers, vegetarian chicken pieces, vegan sausages, oat-, almond- and soy-based milks.

Mycotoxins are particularly prevalent in plant-based foods because the raw materials those foods are made from – such as grains, legumes and seeds – can be exposed to mold during cultivation and storage.”

A significant concern arises when new foods enter the market, as there are currently no established regulations to monitor mycotoxins.

HEALTH

Pesticide Exposure Linked to 150% Higher Cancer Risk in Major Study​

Source: Institut Pasteur, Science Daily:

“To better understand the link between pesticides and cancer, researchers created detailed models showing how agricultural chemicals spread across the country. The analysis included 31 widely used pesticides. None of these are classified as known human carcinogens by the World Health Organization (WHO), yet their combined presence in the environment was carefully tracked.

‘We first modeled the dispersion of pesticides in the environment over a six-year period, from 2014 to 2019, which allowed us to create a high-resolution map and identify areas with the highest risk of exposure,’ explains Jorge Honles, PhD in epidemiology at the University of Toulouse.

The team then compared these exposure maps with health data from more than 150,000 cancer patients recorded between 2007 and 2020. This comparison revealed a clear pattern.”

In these areas, the likelihood of developing cancer was about 150% greater on average.

COMING CLEAN

Reducing Use of Personal Care Products Quickly Lowers Toxic Chemicals in the Body​

Pamela Ferdinand, U.S. Right to Know (USRTK):

“‘I only look at the ingredients for my own skin type. As long as a product is on the market and from a big corporation or reliable brand, I feel like it shouldn’t contain too much [to be worried about],’ Deng said. ‘I trust the manufacturers.’

But a small study shows that assumption may not hold. Routine decisions about everything from mascara to moisturizer matter when it comes to shaping your chemical exposure and health risks, the researchers suggest.

On average, women use 13 personal care products a day, containing more than 100 unique ingredients, and men use about 11. Roughly 1 in 10 adults uses more than 25 products daily. Late last year, the FDA reported that more than 1,700 cosmetic products contain PFAS — so-called ‘forever chemicals’ tied to serious health risks including cancer, birth defects and liver disease.”

The findings indicate that switching from conventional personal care products to nontoxic alternatives can rapidly and significantly reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.

Understanding POTS: A Condition
That's More Complex Than It Looks​
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is a complex condition with multiple subtypes that is frequently misunderstood and misdiagnosed.

Dr. Eric Gordon and Dr. Jamie Kunkel recently hosted a FORUM Ask Us Anything: POTS & Dysautonomia, breaking down the key subtypes, diagnostic testing approaches, and emerging immune-targeted treatments, including IVIG and plasmapheresis, that are showing promise for select patient populations.

In our latest article, we share more about the elusive nature of POTS, subtypes, and treatment options.​
Advancing Medicine: Upcoming Talks & Events​
FORUM LIVE Ask Us Anything: Mold & Mycotoxins

Join Dr. Eric Gordon and Dr. Nafysa Parpia on May 29th at 12 pm PT | 3 pm ET as they explore mold and mycotoxins, often overlooked drivers in complex chronic illness. Mold exposure is often the “house of cards,” with mycotoxins and other byproducts capable of disrupting immune function, amplifying inflammation, and intersecting with conditions like Long COVID, MCAS, Lyme, and other chronic infections.

Just as important as identifying these layers is understanding the order of treatment. In this live session, you’ll have the opportunity to ask your questions directly, including practical remediation steps, whether it’s possible to stay in your environment, or when stepping away may be necessary to support healing.​

Hi jimi,
Many aspiring plant-based eaters stumble over cheese. For many people, the ooey-gooey pizza topping alone is a deal-breaker.
But fear not, cheese lovers who aspire to go moo-free: A new hero has arrived! Welcome to the wonderful world of nut cheese.
Get the nut cheese story
Gone are the days when all the vegan “cheeses” were based around maltodextrin and tasted like some sort of a cross between Velveeta and silly putty.
Yours for health-promoting and planet-friendly deliciousness,
Ocean Robbins
P.S. Even if you’re still a fan of cow cheese, nut cheese has a lot to offer. Find out how it’s made, what makes it so good, and get some amazing recipes here.

Hey Jimi,



I just wanted to remind you that our upcoming session, The Missing Link to Healing, goes live tomorrow at 4:00 PM ET.

Most people focus on doing more when it comes to improving their health.
Whether it’s more supplements, more protocols, or more changes to their diet..

But what I’ll be sharing tomorrow will show you how this “missing link” can quietly influence whether any of those things actually work.

When this vital aspect of healing isn’t addressed, it can become much harder for your body to rest, repair, and recover the way it’s meant to.

But when you begin to support it, everything else can start working more effectively.

Webclass Details:


Date: Friday, 15th May, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

I got the email notice from OCA, and it said "take action" but there was no action link. I did do the suggested "call General Mills and give them a piece of your mind".

But the truth is, I never buy General Mills or Kelloggs or Post, or any of those brands, all basically junk. Better to buy the organic brands.

Jimi, this is telling you not to trust Ty and Charlene Bollinger (thetruthaboutcancer.com), to ignore Sayer Ji (Greenmedinfo) and Mike Adams, and instead give your attention to the established medical racket.

"Influencer" is a reductive term, and IMO a bit insulting. There are good and bad ones, but the traditional racket calls any website host or video presenter an "influencer", as if they were all fashionistas and product reviewers, to cast doubt on their credibility.
