Thanks Debbie great to be on your show and this is going to be fun and we're going to get some great stuff. I like your whole energy you're very cute and we're going to we're going to get into some interesting subject matter. And then talk about conscious live expo which is I probably where I'm going to meet you I would assume are you going to be there in a couple weeks here coming up we're going to be there in LA at the LA ex Hilton I think I do press media there I'll be there February 7 through ninth so tell me right up front because now I want to write it down. Where are you going to be so I can make sure I am at your workshop. Fantastic I think my workshops the noon workshop on Saturday, February 8. I'm not sure what room that is right off the top my head. That's OK and a program when you get there so February 8 awesome I'm definitely going to be there you will meet me if I can get to the front of the line. And that was so interesting in your bio so you and I are both Jewish yes. My dad is Jewish my mom is actually a Bahá'í. And and so you know my mom actually came from my mom came from Iran, you know from Tehran. And when the Shah got overthrown in 1978 79 we had to flee the country basically. And so we came to live 100% of the time in America but my first language was actually Farsi, not English, and I still speak Farsi, at least a little bit. And so that's it's an interesting life that I've lived because I've lived on both sides of the world. And I have also lived in a major way as a traveler all over the world in fact I haven't been in one place for more than four weeks and 25 years. Oh that's beautiful do you like that nomadic lifestyle. Well it's you know some you know the fate there's an old Roman saying and it says that if you align with your destiny the fates will carry you if you resist your destiny the fates will drag you. And so I long ago I had to kind of let go of like I it is what it is and it's difficult life in its way and it's a wonderful life in its way. And I focus on the wonderful part. Thank you for that inspiration that is really timely to hear I got to say because I recently got a calling from the divine to explore shaman classes and you know exploring becoming a shaman and I'm like what I'm a media girl I could call myself a media visibility visibility shaman that's really strange. And I know when my head gets involved is going to be suffering. And if I let go and follow energy all will be well I don't have to understand the calling. Right. That's what you're speaking to. Right. Yeah exactly. I have faith in the best day ever. I have faith in the randomness of our reality and because I've been living the best day ever for so long I have faith because I know it's been delivered over and over and over again. So I know there's a higher power of force that listens and that that really is an important thing because that reconnects you to source and it eliminates the self doubts that creep into our life that disarm us and make us incapable of going out and having the courage to achieve our dreams. So it really that that randomness of the universe is something I feel very deeply and harm me with. Well I was asking you at the onset about being Jewish because as a Jewish female, even though I identify way more as being spiritual still my upbringing, they would plant a tree when you were born or growing up in your name and your honor there was a tree planted for you in Israel. It's a big practice and seeing in your bio that you have a mission to plant 18 billion fruit nut and medicinal trees around the world. I felt was well that's taking it to a whole new level. So will you weigh in how is that project going. It's going phenomenally well we planted over a million trees since I since I began the foundation in 2002. We just did the last 100 trees of 2019. And so for 2019 we planted 80,636 trees. Spread out. Yeah and in over 200 I don't know the exact number maybe 256 planting something like that, spread out through 365 days of 2019, and all over the world in five different countries and we plant at orphanages we plant at public parks and capitals we plant everywhere. And one of the things that's really wonderful about the fruit tree planting foundation is, is that it gives opportunities for kids to get educated about nature and about where their foods coming from which is a big focus for us. We work a lot with children. Thank you thank you that's so nice. You know there's a lot of trial and error out there there's a lot of conflicting information about how to achieve health and I know you're the guy you're the go to right so tips and hacks. I feel like in this day and age, we really should be able to avoid any pain and expense from experimenting but I, it still goes on. So here we are new year, new up leveling right new time and dynamics. It's time. So will you pull back the curtain David and will you share some really timely tips we may not know right now for current health practices. Definitely it that's all I do I it's my favorite work and and thanks for giving me that opportunity. One of the most important tips that I've got for you is making sure that you drink enough water. First thing in the morning drink a liter of water. There's your water right there right and it's just a great habit to be in so as soon as you rise in the morning. I actually recommend having the best quality water you can find with a little bit of sea salt that your electrolytes, and then a little bit of charcoal in the morning just to suck up all those used up neurotransmitters. Deal with the toxicity of the of the previous day and the detoxification process that goes on at night when we're horizontal. That's when we detoxify in our body cleans the filters out. That's all we are is just a big grouping of filters. And if we don't get a filter, we're going to become the filter and activated charcoal is in every filtration medium. It filters air, it filters water and it filters us. And so this is one of the great longevity discovers it's something I'm going to be talking about a conscious life expo. It's going to be a big focus that if you want to be in that state of peak performance at your best all the time, got to make sure your body is detoxified. The easiest simplest detoxification agent that increases your possibility and staxi odds in your favor for longevity by far in the research is activated charcoal and I mean by far. There is nothing in all the literature of longevity that's more powerful than activated charcoal for extending the life of animals. Okay, so in my cabinet because I love vitamins I love supplements and you know I researched I'm a bit of a nerd. So I have activated charcoal and that's fascinating because the only time I thought to take it is if I was not feeling well or something was going on in my tummy. I never thought to take it on some kind of a consistent basis. So when you're talking about putting it in the water, would it be correct to take one of those capsules and open up the charcoal and just pour it into the water. That's one way to do it you're going to create a little bit of a mess but it's a good way to do it. I have my own charcoal that's in tapioca capsules so that way, like for example we're doing an event in Los Angeles big event couple thousand people and there was a gal who got a poisoning she had to choose having a shot. She was having a shock reaction and normally if you have a shock reaction you're rushed off to the emergency room. The very first thing they give you is a charcoal drink in the emergency room to neutralize a poisoning but she was in such bad shape she wasn't going to make it to the hospital. So they called me up to the room and I just said here eat these because she actually couldn't swallow she was having that bad of a shock reaction. So she just was able to chew those up and that's why we do those in tapioca capsules because you can literally just chew them up if you need to. A lot of what's out there is in gelatin caps or even in V caps which you can't chew those up. You have to actually swallow them or open them. Opening them is great it's fine but it's going to create a little bit of a mess. And so that's the kind of thinking that's gone into this kind of area for me over the years. I've been on the activated charcoal as a regular thing in my diet for five years. And before that it was like you know if I have an upset stomach or you know some kind of stomach bug or stomach flu then the activated charcoal. But now from the research I've been doing on it now I know the truth. And it's a power and effect on you to wake you up get your head sharp essentially detoxify you which becomes very important as we age. Much more important when you're 60 than when you're 20. When you're 20 you get away with anything. But when you're 60 it's a whole different story and that has become the focus of many of the gerontologists who've been researching activated charcoal for longevity. Is that it's become much more important later in life. And the sea salt is there a certain amount that you recommend we put into the water. I like a pinch or two just to start out with just to get the feel for it but there's something that has not been announced to all of us that we do need to know about it's an ancient wisdom and it's ancient old brand new as I like to say I like that phrase. And it's the power of sea salt to neutralize autoimmune loops and autoimmune looping. So when somebody gets an autoimmune response it's hard to shut that response off that's a loop that keeps going and going and going. And one of the best ways to shut that off is drinking salt water. It'll neutralize allergies, asthma, IBS crones on the spot. It's amazing how quickly it works. And it's just so simple that we just forgot about it you know because everything today has to be super complex and we need all these complex things and we got to go back to the basics and the original stuff and I actually will put that out there anybody is dealing with autoimmune stuff. Like allergies, asthma, etc. Drink salt water now for that kind of dose I'd recommend actually a tablespoon per liter of sea salt. That's a lot. But that's what that's what it takes. Wow, I know a lot of people I'm going to ping so they listen to this this is really important information. And what what else are there any other discoveries for longevity that you've been researching or on the cutting edge about. One of my favorite discoveries, it comes out of Taoism and my good friend Ron Teagarden right there in Los Angeles dragon herbs and it's wonderful things he's doing with him and his people. Right he's right in your hood over there. Yes, on Robertson. Yeah, he's right on Robertson right Beverly Hills basically in West Hollywood and one of the things he's really educated me on and led me down a track of research that eventually I wrote a book on it I never have published that book. I've been working on the book for literally six years at this point, which is on colors. Black foods increase longevity endurance and endurance they increase your overall what we call in Taoism Jing which is your vital life force. So this is very interesting because charcoal is black. Right. And if you look at all the black foods like chaga mushroom, black sesame oil and black sesame seed. Black cumin and black cumin seed and you look at its history in Middle Eastern countries for longevity from Israel to Iran. It's really interesting black foods increase longevity so whenever you're looking at like okay what do I got to ground rice well let me tell you black rice is the new ground rice. Yeah there is black rice. Wow that is fantastic. And you know what I really appreciate about this this is easy. Everything's easy. There's no investment here. I mean who cannot go out to get sea salt right or charcoal tablets or fine foods that are black the chaga and and the sesame I mean this is black berries black berries black berries. And then when you look at some of our more popular foods that we really love that we know influence longevity. One of the big ones is the olive and one day you know if we ever get to hike in Los Angeles I'll take you actually the place to hike in Los Angeles is a big secret to everybody. I grew up in LA I've been there since 1978. I've been in San Diego since 1977. So my history in Southern California goes way back. One of the most amazing discoveries and all that is where to go hike in LA and best place to hike in LA is Beverly Hills right on the streets of Beverly Hills there's no one around. Almost all Beverly Hills is empty especially in the winter no one's there. So out of every five houses under construction no one's in the other houses you just walk the streets of Beverly Hills is the most amazing thing one amazing house after another after the most amazing fruit tree set up and it's just incredible. And when you're doing that you get to see these really interesting things that people are growing one of the foods that's very prominent all of Los Angeles is the olive tree. And olives produce a black food if you let the olive do its natural thing and ripen naturally becomes a black food. And olive oil influences longevity by nine to 18%. That's the highest of any food known and well studied which means let's say we're a human that's supposed to get your natural lifespan which I would say is 100 years. That's arguable but let's just say it's 100 years easy for the map. If nine to 18% increase in lifespan means 109 to 118 years. That's the influence. Now let me tell you how crazy this activated charcoal thing is in animal research. This is by far by the way the biggest breakthrough in longevity of all time. And this has been known. That's the thing that really irks me about it. Like we never got this on the news but we do get it here. So that's fake news your real news. Activate charcoal can influence the lifespan of animals by 21 to 47%. Okay. So how do we get so I have a dog. How do I give it to my dog. Just put it in their water so in that case you would have to actually open up a capsule and just mix it in their water. Take your neutral bullet and just blast it in water. Just put it in there. Your dog will lap that up. They know they have a sense of these things. Animals have they know thing. Their instinct is intact. And so they know. This is incredible. My dog got very sick. I'm trying to remember she got into something she should not have gotten into but she ate way too much of it. And she literally had the runs. Man this house was a mess. Right. Every day cleaning up cleaning up cleaning up such a good sweet dog but boy for two days bad. And my girlfriend said Debbie give her charcoal. Duh had never considered it. Sure enough I sprinkled charcoal in her food. Gone. I mean literally you could see in her next bowel movement it started to harden. And then right after that it was completely gone and poor creature you know it's a lot electrolytes to lose like that. But yes charcoal is brilliant. And so from now on both she and I are on it every day sea salt black foods fantastic. So I wanted to ask a little bit about you know you're an entrepreneur basically and you've been in this space a long time. You've seen a lot you've done a lot you're talking about the kind of lifestyle that you have. I imagine from the inception of where you began to where you be today that meaning has changed a lot for you. I'm really curious what about your life or your profession has changed what means something to you in your world. Oh fantastic. There's been so I mean I started out before there was the Internet. I had the first website up in the whole world that had coconut oil on it and goji berries and cacao and all these things that are today and every health food store. That's how far back I go. We had the first websites in the world that were that sold those things online. I mean I started out when Amazon started. And so it's been an interesting journey. I mean today what I'd like to do now is if somebody's like like a Novak joke of it she was one of my friends and we helped him come all the way back from a career ending injury to number one ranked tennis player in the world. Again, which everyone said was impossible. He couldn't do it on a plant-based diet. You couldn't even believe the trolling that was going on against him and all the stuff and he made it all the way back. And when he won Wimbledon in 2018 he came back and won Wimbledon and that time then he won again in 2019. We cried. I mean it was just a totally powerful experience. So the way I like to serve those types of clients through like a VIP intensive day where we or two days is really something that's become nearer and dearer to my heart. Because it used to be do an hour consultation but I really like to do that deep dive with those types of clients that are capable of being there for that and really have the resources to be there for that and go all the way. And become the great being that they are with all the tools that I have. And I've got a lot of tools that you can imagine 25 years of being at the front of the internet. And I had one of the most successful pages on Facebook and if not the most engaged page on Facebook as a side hobby just this is what the power of getting your brain on straight. As a side hobby just as a like little thing on the side. We built my Facebook page up to almost 13 million people just between really at one me and then eventually I hired someone to help me and then I hired another person just between the three of us. We were beating every single website in the world in engagement like 1.7 billion hits per month. That was just that I'm a nutritionist that's not my job I was just fun on the side I mean that's the power of nutrition it really is and so that's another thing that's been really interesting is. If you want to I can show you how to master social media if that's what you want I mean eventually I had to get away from that because it was it started stop becoming fun for me and I'll probably reboot it back up this this year just because it's become more fun again. Two questions about that and the first is so you mentioned social media and you know side hobby and you're good at it clearly. What does it take you know because it keeps changing algorithms change technology change and frankly more importantly. I think people get really bored because they get creamed by the same thing over and over so everything has to change and it changes and then everyone else is doing that we get bored and. Constant right it's it's constant getting stimuli really what is the way to find because I think most of us are really just heart based entrepreneurs with a gift to deliver to the world. How do you recommend engagement and to get the best followers and tribe who are our people to want to play with us. Great question one thing is you just have to be authentically yourself you have to be authentically yourself and you have to really be a people person. I am a people person that's why I've done all those live events thousands of live events over all these years I like being around people like being with people and that there's a good side of that there's a bad side of that because. There you know people in this world they'll love you they'll hate you they you know but that's the that's the price you'll pay so. You have to take that on if you're a people person and that's same as true social media you're going to get your lovers you're going to get your haters you're going to get the people in between. But it has to be an authentic message for you and you also have to be the type of person that's you're I'm ready to go at 3am I'm ready to go at 5am I'm ready to go at 1111am I'm ready to go to 1111pm. It doesn't matter I'm ready to go at all times because that's the type of person that I am. If you're the type of person is like I got to work a nine to five and I've got to sleep here to their social media is not going to be your your real wheelhouse because some of the more we've got three and want to be like I got to post this right now it's going now. You know that's just how that that is and. Are you saying because you're up at all those hours and you've got all that energy so for you to keep engaging. Yes right exactly that's exactly what I'm saying and and that's you have to have the energy right so when I take people into an intensive a one on one all day eight hours with me. First thing we're doing is we're getting into do you have the energy where's your energy at and then we then we got to work on that first I'm not going to take someone into a day two with me. Unless they've got the energy for day one. You know what I mean I can tell pretty quickly from that because we do a lot of preparatory work before somebody actually gets in front of me. You know I want to see their lab work I want to see other this other stuff and I can tell right away okay is this person to be ready to like no backs he's full on he's always ready for day two and day three is ready for anything. But it's different per person so. We we have to have the energy for these peripheral things like social media in order to be a success today and that is very much a health and nutrition thing. That's a what else you cover in your VIP day. It sounds fascinating. What I do is I do I do a particular type of body work that I was taught by a gentleman named VRL sushi who was he worked for my dad way back when when in 1986. And he defected from Romania. He was Nadia Comunici's personal trainer. And he defected so on one of these trips he just like I'm not going back and he just came to America and stayed and sought political asylum here and got it. And he taught me about the energy centers of the neck the five energy centers boom these two right here these two right here and the one in the mid back right there. And he taught me his system that basically what makes us unique as a human being is we have a neck. There is no primate with a neck. We're the only primate that has a neck. And this is the best reflexology there is is our neck. It's like a three dimensional guitar. And these are all our strengths and we have tension that I can get into those strings about oh there it is right there there's the tension. So that's part of what we do. Another thing is I like to do a complete breakdown of where somebody is at and where we can take their good and bad habits and advance them. For example I was talking about a friend today who liked to drink alcohol with his friends on weekends and playing poker. And so we designed a strategy where he would put the herbs in the vodka. So his friends never knew he was drinking herbs so he's taking the vodka is doing shots of vodka playing poker with his friends but it's got the herbs in it stuff like that. I mean we'll just break it down to the nth degree and and we and then we have you know a really good day together so we share that all that time together plus lunch and you get to have one of my lunches so it's not going to just be avocado toast. And another thing I like to do a lot is really working with the attitude of the best day ever and what that really looks like and that that moves us if somebody's really there they have the energy and we go into day two week. This is the basic formula it's do you do your best that's 111% and that's times you're not attachment you can't be attached to like oh my God this person hated me even though I helped them it's like throw that out the window. And then you have to be in alignment I think we talked about this before was this idea of the randomness of the universe and the holy flow like you might give all your energy to this you're going to do it and then all of a sudden this incident comes up or the scenario comes up. Can you roll with it. Can you can you see the magic and the hyper synchronicity of that moment and roll with that. That's a very important piece of being successful in my opinion and really being in your best health ever and then the other pieces minus irritants and inflammation. So we remove those as best we can from your diet lifestyle and then that's equals the best air. I love it so we've got two hashtags hashtag best day ever hashtag holy flow. I love that. That could be the name of your book holy flow. That was it was my neighbor a very interesting man who left the earth. Last year actually, almost a year ago in February 22 2019 and he gifted me that phrase the holy flow of the blue glow and the holy flow. It's profound and it's exactly what it is of course says it in two words. So entrepreneurs who are listening to this, and they want to learn how you built your empire and you said there's going to be lovers there's going to be haters there's all sorts of people out there. So clearly, like any entrepreneur I'm sure you've had bad or tough business experiences or moments. How did you learn from the difficult times that you chose to alter going forward how did your practices change and and or what did you stop engaging in that created better for you and your company. One of the things that I learned over the years is is you're going to have to be responsible. So what I've learned over the years is basically I've gotten rid of almost every business partner. That business partners who ripped me off stole this stole that opened up a shop down the street or selling my products with my name on it my face on it, and, and I didn't even know about it. I mean, you name all kinds of stuff like that. And so I had to. It's like this trusting God and type your camels. You have to be aware that people are of an untoward disposition they may they don't have the same feelings in their heart or they don't come from a place of love or you know it's all that stuff or people that I knew in LA even for 18 years I was partners with them in many businesses. They they're like we're going to we're going to take everything and they basically tried to steal everything. Fortunately, I saw that coming kind of in advance and because I've been you know I've had a lot of experience so I was. I just don't put all your eggs in one basket that's another thing I learned don't put all your eggs in one basket if you're going to do a joint venture with somebody make sure you have other opportunities in other places, and other businesses going at the same time. And that's where I'm at now is is I have many diversified. I have a diverse business portfolio I guess is right exactly exactly that's beautiful. Well we're going to take a quick break here and we'll be right back we have a lot more questions I even have somebody who wrote in a question one of the listeners and I'll make sure to address that. And folks, if you are interested in bumping up your visibility that's what I do out in the world visibility shaman. And I help people coach them to write a book. I've got a company that guarantees your book reaches international bestseller, and I teach you the ultimate visibility formula.

You'll know how to avoid freezing or fudging during an interview and instead you'll feel very confident and savvy. So who is the program for well it's for you. If you want to be seen as an authority in your field and if you want to start being interviewed in six weeks or less, go to Debbie D dot net slash visibility. I do not have an eye in my name. So it's d e b b. Excuse me. I don't have an e at the end. It's d e b b I do have an ID e b b I d dot net slash visibility. Join us there. And if you're just tuning in after after I've started this is Debbie dashing grandeur to dream I'm interviewing health and wellness expert David avocado wolf. He will be at the conscious life expo coming up. Definitely go see him there. And his website is David wolf.com. David let's address this audience question. This is from a Canadian Lisa Le Joie, who says David, what is the best way to take care of skin, especially for women. Because of all we go through with hormones and makeup and more. What do you recommend to be the best skin practices. That's such a great question. The skin is the last place to get nutrition is the furthest out. So women have a sense that they need to nourish their skin from the outside in. They don't have that sense as much they're not as interested in that but women get that they understand that. And I really like the basics I like going to coconut oil I like going to olive oil I like going to see buckthorn oil. And probably if I had to say one of the best products that I ever got behind over the years and partly developed is the it's called the best skin ever, which is by my friends over at Living Libations. They have a little office in Venice and they're out of Canada, and we've been best friends for 20 years and we've done a lot of really fun things together but it's a see buckthorn based formula. I think it's really important that you do the, the sauna's the hots in the colds, you do the peels so you get that outer layer off you do the scrubbing so you get that dead layer of skin off, and that you get the right kind of nourishment coming right from the outside in. And when it comes to that I really like those three, see buckthorn, olive oil and coconut oil. Now well there's one more of course, which is cacao butter and chocolate oil, and that's that's like a noble essence right the oil chocolate or cocoa butter is what was originally in all the potions and till they replaced it with cheap vegetable oil, but in the old days back in the 1930s and before was always cacao butter or cocoa butter, and this is for like the fine lines in the face especially just take a piece of it and just rub it right in it just melts you can put on your lips. It's just the best thing ever. And also you smell like chocolate. Yeah, which is good thing. And what about shea butter. Are you a fan of butter is good I've just, I've had experiences over the years of poor quality shea butter. When I was in that business and buying shea butter and I got a bad batch and smell like diesel or you know all kinds of problems I have with shea butter, but it's a good one if you can get the good stuff I'm a big fan of good quality shea butter for sure. But I also like going to the stuff that's so like tried and true, which shea butter is but for the worldwide market, you know, olive oil, cacao butter, coconut oil, sea buckthorn, those are big big players in the game. So use those like as makeup removers use those as put instead of putting a cream on your face put that on to soften the face in the lines and and find the one that's right for you for example what's it's something like coconut oil it for my face. No, cacao butter for my face. Yes, it'll work there or or sea buckthorn for all parts of my body is just amazing and olive oil is really interesting for me because I'm more Mediterranean right Mediterranean, you know, ancestry so it's just works for me other people like olive oil I don't that wouldn't use that on my skin it's just you have to really try it out. But at the formulas that are out there a lot of times they have a mixture of these things, it's like olive oil and coconut oil and cacao butter a little bit of you know each one there's a little bit of vanilla stuff like that. And I like those basic formulas rather than the complex stuff. Okay, yeah great answer. I am I make my own body oils. Right, so I find some kind of conduit at first and then I nerd out and I research what oil does what for the body some things for scars some things for wrinkles something is for XYZ, and they smell divine and somehow when I put them together in concert. They actually smell like nobody would need perfume, you know to use this and it's very faint, but lovely and I'll use that right after the gym or you know yoga, and I take a shower and I put that on and I, I think it keeps my skin amazing. So I recommend things like that to sometimes almond oil can be easy to work with or I will I'll get my, my coconut oil and olive oil put those in the bottle, put in the essential oils, and then voila, ready. Excellent. I'm a big fan in the essential oil world of frankincense I'm a huge frankincense guy and I also like lemon and lime a lot I like sandalwood as many of them that I like, but I'm my main ones frankincense and by the way something just to know about me and for your people know about me is I've grown it all. I've been a chocolate grower for 15 years I have 300 chocolate trees I've got 40 avocado trees, anything you name you name whatever super food I've grown it. It's not just that I'm out there talking about it. I'm not just like, oh, you know, this is the best thing because I read on some website or read some book about it's like I've been growing that stuff for years. I've been growing sea buckthorn for 15 years. You know what I mean so I have that perspective that I just don't feel it's honest for nutritionist to be talking about something of food in particular unless they actually grow it. That's just my personal, you know, perspective and viewpoint. And I can talk from that perspective because when you grow something you know something about it that is a mystery, whereas often not know. That makes sense it seems there would be an intimacy, you're essentially planting a seed giving birth helping it grow, finding out what works what doesn't work, what what makes it become proficient. Maybe discover new ways to use it maybe it talks to you I believe in these things you know, coaching people in books I always tell people you know you don't have to think so much the book will tell you. So I'm sure your plants tell you often what they want and need. Definitely. I just showed in his book primary perception with this 1000 studies on plants that plants are telepathic they're always tuning in on what's going on at all times and they can communicate with you in your dreams. And they do and I've had that happen and this is not a fantasy it's not woo woo. You know people say that's woo we're actually materialists they're not really scientists they're into scientism, which is will only believe things that are materialistic and scientific rather than everything that scientific which might not be materialistic. And so I did make that distinction and now that is very interesting distinction because our culture and our civilization is very scientific, but not actually very scientific, and there is a difference. So if you're not into materialism but you're into science, oh we got to we got to shut you up, because we can't be having that and that's what they did to cleave back to us we can't have. This can't be real we've got it pseudo science and all the stuff that they say it is look cleave backsters research and his 1000 experiments is profound, my friend Dr Patrick Flanagan recently passed off the earth and his 10,000 experiments that he did in his life you're going to assail his scientific credibility is one of the most proficient scientists that ever lived is one of the most proficient scientists in the 20th century, and he ended up not being a materialist he was scientific but not scientism. And it goes to follow that if people out there believe everything is energy than everything has intelligence, it must. It must that I'm one of those people who believes that I never really bought that this is dead and that's not and this you know this is something that can't communicate with me because it's a rock, but this can because this is a person. We can learn so much from rivers and Brooks and trees and probably a lot more than we meditate on them a lot more than we can learn from books. So I, I'm just compelled to ask you what are your thoughts on plant medicine. I love plant medicine and been growing some of the world's greatest plant medicines for 20 years. You know when it comes to ayahuasca I've grown ayahuasca for 15 years and I have a crazy story recently with that and I've grown wachuma and all of them you name it I've grown it all for 1520 years. And so that you know I come from that perspective I'm one of the few that do. And that's a very important perspective to have. I love yes please especially I'm going to release this video on the internet at some point soon I've we videoed this this is super wild. I'm not a big you know I've drank ayahuasca over 100 times in my life so I've been to the Amazon done the whole process I love Amazonian shamans I'm not the person who served the ayahuasca, but everybody at my house and Christmas he wanted to do ayahuasca so we had some homebrew that was made from our own stuff that was made by a person that I brought to the property in 2014 and we brewed up jars and then sealed them when they were hot so they're airtight and then will last for years that way. And I opened up one of those and we decided we're going to drink it for Christmas and this is like, I don't know, maybe. Damn I was at the wrong Christmas party at the wrong Christmas party. So Christmas we do that we all we all sit around we drink this and I'm like look I'm you know them just so you know I'm not a shaman this is just. I offer this up I'll do the best I can to hold the space I've been involved in many shamans all over the world some of the best shamans in Peru or some of my best friends. And so you know I have a lot of experience there so anyway we drink that we drink the brew one of us has three the rest of us have to two cups normal night all sitting in meditation for hours and hours. And then eventually I get to the guys and like let's go sit on the balcony because you know one of the things with with ayahuasca and one of the things that ayahuasca taught me is about tobacco what the truth is about tobacco. What the what we've got with tobacco is a complete abomination at every level it's the most unbelievable toxic thing ever because nicotine is a driver and when you take that and you chemicalize it. You're driving all those synthetic chemicals in the human body one of the most dangerous things ever. But tobacco can also drive your prayers into every cell in your body with that nicotine. And that's what tobacco is an amplifier and driver. So I was like okay you know we had this Amazonian tobacco we're going to go outside and we're going to participate in a prayer prayer smoke outside. So we go outside and there's an intense windstorm going down I mean it's like tornado level really intense and you know I live in Hawaii so this is rare for us. And right at the peak of the experience at the peak of all that maybe an hour we're sitting outside there's some kind of a crazy sound that comes I thought was in the front yard. But it actually as we found out a couple days later was in the backyard that night the tree with the ayahuasca on it which is actually called a Christmas Berry tree on Christmas Eve. Was taken down in a windstorm after 12 years that ayahuasca been growing on it. And the whole ayahuasca and everything came off and fell down the hill in a big clump of mass at the top of the tree which is what the ayahuasca wants. That's what most vines want. Most vines are going to bring a tree down eventually and they put their little roots into the decaying debris of the top of the tree essentially. It's an outrageous scene and an outrageous incident that I've never seen ever in all my years living in Hawaii that's for sure all in the same night. So the tree with the ayahuasca came down that night and and we filmed it and we're going to have a video for you on it so stay tuned for that. Probably put it up on YouTube most likely. What did you feel like the message was in that? Well there was a message that like you don't mess around with ayahuasca. You do not mess around with ayahuasca. And me serving the ayahuasca. I'm not going to be serving that anymore. Sorry. Nope. I'm not a shaman. That's not my deal. So I got a very strong message about that. And it was it was a very, very powerful statement of like a lot of times and people who drank ayahuasca know this. It could really kick your booty. Yep. And so sometimes that happens in an internal thing that happens. But in this particular case it happened to be an external thing. I mean it ripped those trees right out of the ground. I've never seen anything like it except in a tornado. Wow. There must have been a tornado. And it happened right in a particular spot where we had it's at the very, very top of the property in the middle. It's like it's a spot where we had actually put stones and magnetite stuff in the earth right there. Years ago, 12, 13 years before. That's profound. Yeah, I want to see that video. I have a friend who became enamored with San Pedro because it's a readily available cactus. And he was making cuttings starting to grow it and then starting to brew it and drink it. And I had really uncomfortable feelings about that because this is, you know, I think it's really important to remember this is not recreational. There's there's a very sacred process about why we ingest this and why we allow ourselves to commune with the divine. And, you know, the healing matrix that's possible for us, and especially to do that alone. So I think he's very fortunate that nothing's happened to him, but it's like, Oh, I wouldn't even I would only I only like to do it in very definitive circumstances that are very safe and provocative for the best possible outcome. Thank you for that. I agree with you totally agree with you. And for those who are new to this conversation, people always ask me, well, then why would you want to do something like ayahuasca or what Schuma San Pedro cactus or or Native American church peyote cactus or something. And it's because it cures you of a very, very deep wound that we have as Westerners. And that is our separation from nature. It pretty much cures you of this idea that we're an isolated consciousness. It actually brings you back to the idea that everything is imbued with consciousness, every stone, every tree, every plant, every rock, every herb, everything in our realities imbued with consciousness. And so that that has a very powerful healing effect. You know, when we do that one day intensive, like when I do take people on a one day intensive, we look at one of those key factors, which is it seems to be underneath everything, which is, where is the separation at from source, because there with in that place that's where the self doubt will creep in. And that's where it will slip in and start to separate you from being able to take action from courage from your ability to pursue your dream. I concur completely and I can say as somebody you know I'm a great example because I held so many judgments previously. And then grandmother ayahuasca called me, and it is, if people want to know what does that mean, it means, you know, you must, you know, something has just tapped you on the shoulder and said you this way come this way. And then I knew I had to. The holy flow, everything not only happened for me so quickly and so elegantly, but mother grandmother ayahuasca gave me sign after sign that I was held and taken care of some of the strangest things that it was, there was no mistake that I was still being called. And I will tell you that after having done it for back to back nights I've had a few experiences but I know the calling isn't done there's so much more I'm ready. And I love the fact, you can heal physically without doing anything but drinking and allowing beings to come facilitate you you can commune with the divine and have conversation. You can be rewired, you can learn information you never knew. There are so many ways to do this and just to David's point it is literally like as Westerners we have a veil that disconnects us and it is removed. And it is so joyous to see sacred geometry in grass and know that the moon is completely alive and for us and connecting with us. I could go on and on I could do a whole show about this. But I'm so grateful that you're being so transparent to share this, because I think it's a really important conversation right now. It's very important. It's again it's healing one of the primary wounds of Western civilization which is our separation from nature. And that's also what food does. Food you know when you grow your own food especially but it starts you know it's a process it's a step by step process of like okay let me go organic. What about this bio-certified because we're a certified biodynamic farm we're certified organic and biodynamic or certified organic and biodynamic. So we have the top certifications in the world for our farm because that's how much we care. I go all out to get all of that because I want quality for qualitarians out there. I mean one diet we can all agree on is qualitarianism. I've never heard that word before. Really? Yeah. That's a strong one. That's not quality. Look I'm a vegetarian for 30 years. I was 100% vegan for 20 years and I can tell you from my experience that there is right diets for some people and right diets for others. I like what Rudolf Steiner said. I think he's right. There are as many diets in the world as there are human beings on earth because it has to do with your ethnic background, your personality, where you live, your latitude, what your personal goals are, where you want to go in the future, what's happened in the past. There's so many factors that come in, what's available to you. And so we look at all of that when it comes to nutrition and therefore it's going to be a little bit different depending on where you are and what time of year it is and all of that. But there are parameters, things like the color of the food affects you. Red by the way is cardiovascular and heart. So red foods and herbs are for cardiovascular and heart. Yellows for building new tissue and creating new tissue. White is the blank tablet, the tabula or ASA, the blank tablet. So I get people are completely digestively broken down. They can digest maybe 10 foods. We get them on white foods to rebuild them back up. I've always wondered why. I've heard that before potatoes and rice and to do white foods because I went through that once. I stopped completely digesting for three months, which is really terrible. And somebody put me on only white and I never, I never got it. So say a little more about that. Well, the food is the, it's a doctrine of signatures, but the color is even more profound than the texture of the shape and the flavor of the food. All of those things indicate and tell us what the food is good for. We've all seen that before where you cut like a carrot and a half. It looks like an eye. You see a walnut and it looks like your brain. You know, we've all heard that stuff before, but the color is even more profound and more important and more obvious. Everything in the world is obvious. Everything is obvious. So we got so complex that we, we became, you know, I don't know what I'm trying to think of a soft way of saying it, we became less than intelligent. We lost our intelligence because we, we lost the obvious and we have to get back to obvious. Now there's other colors like brown. That's an obvious one. What comes out of you that's brown. You eat brown foods pretty soon. Stuff's going to be coming out of you. That's brown. That's so like coffee laxative in the morning. Almost everybody drinks coffee because they want to have that laxative effect in the morning and that stimulant and get them up and working. Right. So this is something that's deep. It's chocolate. You eat too much chocolate. Boom. It's coming out. Any, you think of the greatest laxatives in the world like Senna. What's Senna? It's a brown pod. Very obvious stuff, but because we got so smart, we just completely lost the plot. Green, green is deodorizer, neutralizer, detoxifier and heart, right? Green is heart chakra. And so this thing about the green movement, it's very interesting. I remember having one time I was doing a lecture in Vancouver and there was the head of the Green Party of British Columbia right in the front there. And I kept harping on him because I kept going, you know, the Green Party is great, but the chocolate party is better. The chocolate party is better. And at the end of it, he said, well, how do I join the chocolate party? And I was like, you're already in. There's no paperwork. There's no bureaucracy. We're getting rid of all that. This is the future. There's no politics in the future. There's no more paperwork. You don't have to join anything. You're just in. Once you understand, you realize it's automatic. Oh, that's so beautiful. Oh my gosh, that's funny. Thank you for sharing that. I think people are going to get so much out of that. We're going to take a very quick break before we come in with the final questions. Again, this is Dare to Dream.

I'm interviewing the health and wellness expert, David Wolf. You can find out more about David Avocado Wolf at DavidWolf.com. David, I don't want to forget. So let's talk a little bit about memory. Oh, good one. Right? This is big. So I came to Texas. I'm in Houston, Texas right now, actually, which is not a normal spot for me. I don't get to Texas often, but I love Texans. I love people, you know, as I mentioned before. So it's important for me to get around to places like Houston. It's such a big city. I'm here. It's a great place, Dear Lake Lodge, where I'm hanging out and they have a great colonics system. So the very first thing I want to say about memory and brain fog is go and get an enema or a colonic or clean your bowels out and watch what happens up here. Because two days ago, I did a full colonic there and about an hour. And I'm talking, it's like a equivalent to like 10 or 15 or sometimes 20 enemas. And when you clear that all out of you, all of a sudden this starts working better. So that's number one before we can get into anything. It's basically to get your brain working better, you need to detox. So let me ask you weigh in on Dead Sea colonics and weigh in on coffee enemas. I'm a big fan of coffee enemas because of the glutathione production. And it's one of the big discoveries. We get people on a cleanse every year. So we are twice a year actually. And one's coming out March 13th. And what we do is we get people doing coffee enemas to get that glutathione activity, get that liver dumping, the toxins, get that gallbladder squeezing and get things upstream cleansing. It's going to drive everything out the bottom. Now dead sea salt. Is that what you were saying? Yeah, there's. Well, I'm, you know, I'm a big fan of sea salt. I'm a big fan of Dead Sea mud. Topically, by the way, we talk about skincare. I'm a big fan of using activated charcoal and clay and mud topically. Huge and for dental also huge, especially charcoal for dental once. I'm so excited because I'm using actually charcoal toothpaste. I was just intuitively very drawn to it. But I, you're so right about the skin, but of course I'm going to start doing that. How would you mix it with the oil? Yeah, you can mix it with the oil and you can make your own charcoal mask. There's all kinds of instructions online. If you do a charcoal face mask, it's, it, this charcoal thing is so big. This is the biggest thing we're probably ever going to hear because again, it's the basis of all filtration. If you want to filter, you want to use a charcoal filter. If you want to filter your area, use a charcoal filter. You want to filter you, you got to have charcoal. There's no other way to clean your filters out. I mean, what else are you going to use? You're going to use clay and clay is good, but it's nowhere, there's not even close to what charcoal is able to do, nor with the history of charcoal, you know, in terms of its human use. And then as far as the coffee enema, is that something you recommend every day, once a week, every other day? Some people are able to do it every day. I'm not one of them just because I'm so busy. So I try to get when I'm doing a cleanse, I try to do it every day, but it's not going to happen every single day. But I know people who do it every day religiously, they're on top of it. It's one of the key things for them when they travel. It's a key tool. So I like it a lot whenever you can fit that in. And what I like to do is I like to dilute it like 50%. So it's 50% salt water, 50% coffee, like fresh brewed coffee, organic, of course, and then pour that into an enema bag and then you'll have to figure out the rest yourself on that one. These are available on Amazon. Do you sell these things as well? I do not. I'm not into selling enema kits. Maybe one day, I don't know. There's certain things call me. Like I really got into the charcoal world because quality matters. And I wanted the best quality charcoal in the world. I have a friend of mine who's my supplier basically, and he does all the analytics on everything we get. So it's looked at under a microscope when we order it. And then when it gets there, so we look at all the world market, what's available. We analyze it on the microscope and go, okay, this is the one we want. We order it, then we reanalyze it. So we don't just trust the C of A, the certificate of analysis. I've been burned before, so I don't trust certificate of analysis, although it's a good start. I do want to look at it under a microscope and that's a key thing for me. I've been burned on quality control, so I don't trust anymore. Sorry, I've got to double check. Okay. And I wanted to do that with charcoal because I love it so much. The effects of charcoal on gardening, the effects of charcoal on fertility, it just goes on and on and on. It's one of the most profound discoveries of our time because it's carbon. We're a carbon-based life form. Awesome. So starting with memory detox, do a colonic, do enemas, keep up with it, have some consistency, what else? Yes. Okay, so then we've got to go after the key nutrient for brain eyes and nervous system, which is DHA. And I'll show you the one I've been taking right here. This is my cousin's company based in San Diego. It's right here. So you guys can see this. This is DHA. So there it is, the Omega symbiotic of the Omega. And this product, I mean, what a game changer. DHA is an Omega-3 fatty acid. It's the most important Omega-3 fatty acid. We actually need three Omega-3 fatty acids. And one of them, the primary one is DHA. The secondary one is ALA, which is more terrestrial. That's what's in hemp seed oil and flax seed oil and chia seed oil. And then the third one is EPA. Of the three, two of them are of marine origin. And this also contains EPA, by the way, but from algae, because that's where the fish get it from. The fish don't produce Omega-3 fatty acids. They get it from the algae. That's the actual magician that's taking the raw materials and forming the Omega-3 fatty acids from it. And so, this is Jacques Cousteau's prediction. He said in the future, he knew what was going to happen to our oceans. It's a tragedy what's happening with the pollution in our oceans. And he said, but it's going to come down to the microalgae, the plankton. And since his time, 70 years now, we've identified 200 edible marine phytoplankton. And now we're getting the oil of them for products like this. And the DHA is your main brain nutrient. It's the main nutrient for your eyes. It's the main nutrient for your nervous system. And the other one, the other big one is another one that my cousin has put out, which is this one right here, which is the symbiotic of B12. That's another very important brain and nervous system nutrient. Now you've got to find a B12 that works for you. This is my cell, which means it's been wound into phosphatidylcholine. It's been put into oil. So it's highly bioavailable. You know, I'm just like that. Done easy taste, but it's in berries and you're done with it. And so that's my ritual every day. And I, there's another one that, that he put out because he's really into the biohacking world. And what do they call these things? They call them, um, just trying to cut, uh, nootropics. That's the one I'm looking for. N-O-O-T-R-O-P-I-C-S no tropics. And so he invented this one, which is the golden mind. And that's another cool one. And this one tastes really good. So that's like lion's mane mushroom. Have you heard about lion's mane mushroom for brain? A big story there. It's a medicinal mushroom that's had found to have nerve growth factors or NGFs. And heresium erinaceus is the name of that, that mushroom. And by the way, also when I talk about medicinal mushrooms, I'm a wild mushroom hunter and have been for 15 years. It's what I do. It's a big part of my life. I'm a wild mushroom when I'm at home every day. It's it, but that's where I'm coming from. You know, because we do need things from the different categories. Right? If you're not going to have animal food, like for example, I'm a vegetarian that some point there, there's going to be need for some kind of an animal food. If you're a vegan and what's that going to be? It might be cheese. It might be ghee. It might be eggs. You know, I can't personally take in anything that involves killing because I'm a vegetarian, but I'm okay with some of those things sometimes. But there's the other categories like the mushroom category and the plant category. We need things out of these different categories somewhere in our picture of nutrition as the years press on and mushrooms, we, it's a, it's a human need. And if we don't get them, then we become our quick, our awareness can collapse. And this is why you see like Western culture in particular. Oh, no, I can't eat that mushroom. That's, I could be toxic or, you know, the Western European culture that need up to 300 different mushrooms. And the difference is profound in the consciousness. So as you watch, and I think we're already seeing this, the whole freedom of our whole world is going to start flipping over to central and Eastern Europe and Russia. As crazy as that sounds, that's actually what Rudolf Steiner and Edgar Cayce predicted. The Western world is going to collapse into, you know, essentially another form of communism. and the eastern block is going to go totally into freedom, which makes sense. That's kind of the, you know, there's always a disc going on in the universe, right? That, you know, we're free over here and we had great freedom. And then it now is going to go this way. And then suddenly they're going to be freer than us. You already see that happening. But a big part of that is the awareness created by a diverse and natural diet. Okay. So give me the picture here. Tell me the story. I'm trying to envision you as a mushroom hunter. What does that look like or like? So I eat, yeah. Well, I always have, yeah. I always have a, like a, a mess, right? It's sort of a big bag so I can, and it's usually something that I've picked up in Peru or somebody's made for me and I'm just filling it up with mushrooms. So at the end of the day, so I live part of the time in Canada and I had a part of the time in Hawaii. And at the end of the day of the workday, both places, we'll go for a swim, we'll go to the beach or something and then we'll go hunt some mushrooms, edible mushrooms, either from trees that come out of trees. Those are by far the safest and easiest to understand. Very, very rarely will you ever hear of a toxic mushroom that comes from a tree that's in your ecosystem. It's almost impossible. But then there's mushrooms that come from the ground. Now the mushrooms that come from the ground, you have to be an expert. You really have to study it and know what you're talking about. And it takes you years of learning to really become that. But we pick probably there's at least seven major groups of mushrooms that we pick from in Canada every year, like Morels, Black Trumpets, Chanterelles, Bolides, certain types of, what's the one? It's such a wonderful one. What's that one? It's called a, it's gonna come to me. It begins with a P. Portobello. What's the name? Portobello. Portobello's don't grow where I'm at wildly. This one's like a one that grows, usually grows in fields and we see it growing in the field. Sometimes when we're walking home it's just a really wonderful flavor. It can be mistaken for toxic mushrooms. So it's something I don't really recommend but they're big. They're called out right there at the tip of my tongue. Anyway, we just go hunt the forest for these or we'll pick hen of the woods or chicken of the woods mushrooms. And those grow on trees but they're more edible and soft and those kinds of things. And they'll come back and we'll cook those up for dinner and then the rest will be salad and that's our dinner for that night. And this is very important when we're thinking about diet because we need to have things from all over the, we're really to develop this upstairs. We really need to broaden what our choices are in food from different categories of food and make sure we're getting a diversity because that nourishes our awareness. Oh my God, am I hungry? Okay, so memory. You got me on this one mushroom now see I've got to take more of that brain stuff. We just take another one. Maybe this will help. Who knows? Yeah, when the P comes up, let us know. So think about doing your enemas, your colonics. You've got, understand what works for your body as far as the diet you do, what's best for your ethnic background as well as how you incorporate food and assimilate it for the best hue. B12 DHA Omega Fatty Acid I would like to see if it includes ALA, EPA and also gold in mind. And then include the rainbow, if you will, of different types of food. I would assume it's also season appropriate too, the kind of food that you guys. Yes, absolutely. I like eating wild food. I mean, ultimately I'm a wild foodist and that really turns me on. I mean, I love eating wild food every day. And that's just a thing. You know, if you're living in the city, it's not as easy. Although if we walk the streets of Beverly Hills, I'm telling you, there's so many amazing things there. Outrageous stuff that's just growing out of the sidewalk. Not that I would eat some out of the sidewalk, but right there on the hill and all kinds of interesting wild edibles there that would make wonderful additions to salads. I'm thinking of the Malo family and some of those amazing wild herbs that are just, it's part of our natural diet. But because we got into like domesticating vegetables and stuff, now we've got to go buy these at the store, but really they're wild ancestors better. I've also found very much, especially around Santa Monica, a fennel is prolific. You'll just find it growing wild or if you hike around Santa Monica, Malibu, it grows everywhere. I see people pass it all the time. I'm like, dude, you know, I'm over there munching because it is exquisite, so delicious. Exquisite, great breath freshener. I like munching the flowers of fennel. The actual body of fennel for my body type, it's like I can't really handle, so there's some compound in it that my body doesn't like, but I like eating the flowers. And that's another thing too, is we call it the trial and success method. Where you get out there and you try different things and you just go, oh yeah, okay, this works for me, this doesn't. And there's nothing ever works for everybody. And so you just got to go out there and just expand and you're expanding your awareness when we eat differently, we think differently. And certainly that has been a big part of my life because I eat so differently than most people, I have different thoughts, I think different thoughts. And so in our world, Debbie that we're in, people are interested in transformation. What a tool of transformation, diet and detox really is. What a tool. I love that. That makes so much sense because you're actually ingesting the intelligence of something, the life force of something into your body. And so there's really a sort of very deep marriage that goes- That was a very psychedelic angle, which is really the truth. We're so scientismic that we're like, oh, it's got this compound and this ingredient and that nutrient. Okay, I get that scientism, but it's also got all these other layers of intelligence and life force energy and complexities that we don't have names for. We didn't even discover it. It's very, people are like, that's not scientific. Look, science has only been around for 200 years. What are you talking about? We're just at the beginning of our investigation. One thing we could say about science for sure is that it changes, right? Because we get better tools. We're looking at deeper. So we're already realized from our practices and exercises and expanding awareness that there's many things in these wonderful plants that we don't have names for yet. And there's many layers of it, energetic layers, subtle energy levels, life force influencing powers, the color alone and what that means. Yes. You know, that's a huge, for me, I am literally from this moment with you on, never going to look at food the same because of this conversation. I am so grateful. That really is like so mind-expanding to know that as I bring some- This is like a deli approach. Yeah, thank you. It's a, yeah, because we, again, it's a Western issue. It's a challenge of our Western mind. It's gotta be categorized. And it's gotta be this right here. And it's gotta be in this book and it's gotta be written. It's this compound. It's like, that is so reductionist. It's like, there's so many things that are in foods that don't have names. There's so many energies involved. There are so many factors involved. You know, it punish adds one of the Vedic doctrines. There's a great phrase. One of my favorites of all time. This is it. Since we're talking about memory, right? And cognition and that is the subtle energy of your food becomes your mind. And then it makes so much sense why you would be into wild food as opposed to something that's packaged and grown who knows where. But the fact that you're actually connected to the land and where it comes from and the fact that it was free even, right? Literally growing freely in a free space, hopefully in nurtured soil. And then you bring that into your body. Wow, this is cool. This is very cool. So David. This can be really fun. Yes, I love nerding out with you. I mean, this is great. So this is Dare to Dream. What are you next, Dare to Dream? What are your future dreams and goals? Geez, I have so many wonderful goals. One of the things I really love is farming and gardening. And I wanna increase our chocolate production and our honey production and our avocado production on my farm and sea buckthorn and continue to develop those projects. And apple cider vinegar. We grow a lot of apples and some of these things that are already in motion. But for me personally, I just wanna continue to maintain that depth and connection with the earth itself and the deep, really for black and butter terms, spiritual connection with the world and the earth and to get younger and happier. And really it all comes down as, this is my favorite phrase and people know me for this phrase and it is really one of the most profound things of all time to my mind, which is we're driving this to the best day ever. Every single day is the best day ever. That's all we've got. Hashtag best day ever. That's how David started. When I first met him before the show even began, I said, how are you, David?
