Thanks for having me.
Absolutely. How's your year been so far?
It's been awesome. Well, you know, LA's kind of had a bad year, so maybe I shouldn't say so awesome. That's being not so, you know, representative of what's going on with the people here.

Yes, very, very. Just did a post on that today. I mean, you know, we're probably going to talk about cancer, I'm sure. But yeah, I mean, it took a very long time for that ban to take place. Too long. Way too long. Yes.
Because they probably known this earlier.
What actionable health hacks can listeners implement today?
Right. It's not like it's groundbreaking information.
They have known this forever. I've been talking about this when I had cancer at 32, to like get dyes out of your diet, you know, to avoid them.
Was that a big part of the reason you think you got cancer was your diet?
It was my diet and stress.
Stress. Wow.
Stress was a killer. I lived high stress, was very hard on myself. A lot of anxiety. We were talking about it before. Just, you know, really wanted to be perfect and like the perfect child. And that caused my... my immune system to downregulate. So it just really, I was constantly sick as a kid growing up because I was so hard on myself. Wow.
I can relate so much to that. When I was in high school and college, I got sick once a week.
Yeah, it's not fun, is it? No. You just kind of think that's part of your routine.
You get normalized to it.
Right.
And I had such bad anxiety. It was nuts.
Yes, same.
Prescribed on Xanax.
Wow.
Clonazepam.
And no more?
No more. Well, it creeps up here and there. I'm not going to like completely lie and say I don't have it at all. But before it was like a daily thing.
Right, same.
Yeah, but now I could feel it coming and then I have like breath work and stuff that I could do and it'll pretty much subside.
Same like yoga, you know, walking, like we're talking about meditation, journaling. There's so much great stuff out there these days, you know, that we, that are like prevalent and, you know, very much in like the mainstream where they weren't years ago.
Yeah. Yeah. Wim Hof breathwork for me. Game changer.
Yeah.
Yeah. That stuff gets rid of my anxiety right away. What was the biggest diet change you made?
Sugar.

Yes. I mean, I was a sugaraholic. I just, because my energy levels were so low because I was always tired. So I was always going for a sugar fix. And I probably, like, you're supposed to have 25 grams of added sugar per day. I probably was triple that.
Holy crap.
Yeah, cookies and candy and just soda.
