The most important thing I want you to understand about Alzheimer's disease is that it can be prevented,
0:04
it can be reversed, it's not a death sentence, it's largely up to you, I think it's about 80%
0:08
behavioral, perhaps 20% genetic. What are the three base causes of Alzheimer's?
0:13
So some of the three base causes of Alzheimer's disease, number one is inflammation.
0:17
A number two is type two diabetes. You've heard Alzheimer's disease called type three diabetes,
0:23
and then another major cause that a lot of people don't think about is what are the three most
0:27
dangerous drinks for your brain. So number one, this is an obvious one, people still drink it
0:31
is soda. So soda is high in sugar, but has no fiber. And so when we drink soda that spikes are
0:37
insulin, spikes are blood glucose, that gives you the risk of type two diabetes. Number two,
0:41
this is the frappuccino, these are the giant drinks just packed with sugar. And then lastly,
0:46
some people think this one is healthy, these are the...
0:48
Robert Love, a healthy man. And a neuroscientist, you know, it was crazy that I saw you. I'm like,
0:59
I know that guy. I follow your work and you share some science-based, that's part of your tagline.
1:06
Go ahead and say your tagline. Yes, so my name is Robert Love. I'm a neuroscientist and I
1:09
specialize in helping people prevent Alzheimer's disease with science. See, it gets me every time.
1:15
It gets me every time, man. It's such a... I appreciate the applause in the back.
1:19
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I appreciate that. It's so cool that we get to use social media to share science
1:25
that helps people live better lives. What could be cooler than that? That's so great. Look,
1:29
you probably don't want to read the science. I don't like reading all the science all the time,
1:33
either, but when I find something, I want to share it with people. And so it's so cool that we can
1:37
do that and tell people, hey, this food's really great for you. This supplement's great or don't
1:40
do this or get your sleep. Yeah, it helps people create awareness so they can make better choices
1:47
that can give them a better life. And that's ultimately what we do. It's not... You can't put fear on
1:53
it. If you put fear on it, just talk to Fab Mancini about that. You put fear on it and then it's
1:58
going to create a negative outcome. Well, you're going to continue to get that. If you create
2:01
put an awareness label on it of what we do. And then that awareness is going to create not a
2:06
negative outcome in your life, but a positive one. That's why we do what we do. You've even shown
2:11
me, hey, Warren, here's some of my stuff. Do you see all those hours? That's hours of impact. That's
2:15
what creates... I love it. You love it. I love it. We saw the Instagram. I love to look at the
2:21
Instagram scene. How many days videos have been watched? Yeah. That's really fun.
2:25
Days measurement. When you said that, I'm like, man, I do that too because it is about impact. So
2:30
let's get to some impactful things. You're a wealth of knowledge, especially when it comes to
2:33
Alzheimer's, neurodegenerative conditions. You have lists and five things you can do to increase
2:40
your brain power, like to increase your memory. Here's three foods. You have all these beautiful,
2:47
simple solutions that people can can utilize to create a better life, to create better outcomes
2:53
and positive outcomes, especially in the area of neurodegeneration, which is one of the biggest
2:57
fears out there. And rightfully so, there's a lot of choices we're making today. There's a lot of
3:02
choices we're all making today that are limiting the best life we could possibly live and
3:07
where you focus is on Alzheimer's. And if there's one thing about Alzheimer's that we want to
3:13
communicate today, what would that be? So the most important thing I want you on our stand about
3:16
Alzheimer's disease is that Alzheimer's is preventable. There is something you can do about. There are
3:21
many things you can do about it. The top journals in the field five years ago published 12 things you
3:25
can do to help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Unfortunately, a lot of neurologists don't
3:29
share that with their patients. How many neurologists are giving their patients 12 things they can do
3:33
when they walk in the door when they say, I'm concerned, I have to have dementia. Great,
3:36
here's 12 things. I want you to do these. These are about sleep and diet and exercise and reducing
3:41
stress and reducing exposure to heavy metals and so forth. I think it takes about 20 years for
3:46
the science to trickle down to practitioner level, which is way too long. If you have Alzheimer's
3:50
today, you don't wait for 20 years for your neurologist to say, oh, back in 2012, they actually
3:54
published some data that might be helpful to you. I don't think you want to wait. So the number one
3:58
thing is it can be prevented and in many cases, it can be reversed and this is really important for
4:03
people to understand. So I got into this field because of my family. I had two grandparents with
4:08
dementia. I had one grandfather who had Alzheimer's disease. That was my grandfather, my father's
4:12
side and the grandfather, my mother's side had dementia unspecified. We think it was from dry cleaning
4:17
chemicals. He was a dry cleaner. Yeah, I just cleaned those up in environmental. My brother
4:21
cleaned up days. It was nasty chemicals. He and his brother both had very similar
4:24
dimensions. And a number of years ago, I went back home to help my mother. She had back surgery.
4:29
And so I was going to stay at home and help her around the house as she recovered. My dad,
4:33
though, a loving man is not the best caretaker. So I wanted him at the law office. I would stay
4:38
home. I'd help my mother recover. And when I was home, I noticed my parents had, I was concerned
4:42
about their memory, both of them. Yeah. And I became concerned because they both have a,
4:47
there's a history of dementia in our family. I started looking at, I started doing the research.
4:50
I started looking at their food. I said, Oh my gosh, look what they're eating. And so at the time
4:53
I was working with children and adults with attention deficit disorder. And I started doing the
4:58
research on Alzheimer's, Alzheimer's prevention. And I found out there was just a wealth of
5:01
information. So I switched my focus from ADHD to Alzheimer's prevention at that time. And I started
5:07
with food and I started with my parents. I said, Look, we got to get the sugar out of the house.
5:10
And we got to get the chocolate out of the house. We got to get you healthy chocolate. Like,
5:14
like, let's, let's spend, spend the money and get you healthy desserts that you're going to
5:18
enjoy and stop flooding your bodies with sugar. So just wherever people are, a loved one has
5:23
dementia or Alzheimer's disease. It can be prevented. It can be averse. It is not a death sentence.
5:28
Dr. Dale Brezzin, who's a medical doctor from UCLA who published, he was one of the first doctors
5:34
to say Alzheimer's can be prevented and reversed. And he's shown that in his data. He says Alzheimer's
5:39
is optional. And so if you're willing to do the diet, which is the hardest part for most people,
5:43
if you're willing to eat healthy food, if you're willing to prioritize your sleep, if you're
5:46
willing to get exercise, and then avoid smoking and drinking alcohol or drinking too much alcohol,
5:53
you can avoid dementia, basically, regardless of your genetic makeup. And that's astounding. So
6:00
all of a sudden it's in your hands. Whether or not you get it or not, it's largely up to you. I
6:04
think it's about 80% behavioral, perhaps 20% genetic. I love that you share that. And so like
6:10
some of these doctors, they're called crazy because it's a death sentence. Dementia is one of
6:15
the top killers in America. So it doesn't just make you lose your memory. It literally kills you
6:20
right at the end of the day. And it's a top killer that can be prevented like heart disease. Cancer,
6:26
I would even throw that in there. There's a lot of prevention that can happen there as well.
6:30
It has to be preventable. If you look at cancer rates, I remember these to be one out of four.
6:34
And that was huge. That was maybe 10 years ago. Another one out of three Americans will have
6:37
cancer at some point in their life. Well, did did Arginetics get, I don't know what that
6:41
percentage is worse between 25 to 33. The Arginetics get 8% worse in the last 10 years. Well,
6:46
no. No. Our environment and our behaviors gotten so much worse. Our food has gotten so much
6:51
worth. Oh my gosh. You see what people eat? It's terrifying to me. It's terrifying what people
6:56
are giving to their children to eat. And I just say, oh my gosh, I wouldn't put that. Have you
7:00
seen those Super Bowl commercials where they have the animals? And they're eating, I think it was
7:04
Doritos. Yeah. Not to pick on Doritos, but they ain't snack food. And then the chipmunk or
7:09
the squirrel is eating the Doritos and it's having a really great time. And that says, warning,
7:12
do not give, you know, chipmunks, do not give animals Doritos. Yeah. Why? Because it's terrible for
7:18
that. But these companies are perfectly fine. You could fall a squirrel. It could be harmful to
7:22
wildlife. Yeah. These companies are perfectly fine giving these to humans. And in particular,
7:26
small humans, children, these companies are perfectly fine, slowly, slightly poisoning us on
7:31
a regular basis and even poisoning our children. And it says that in their advertisements, if it's
7:35
dangerous for a deer, it might be dangerous for your three-year-old. That's a good line. If it's
7:40
dangerous to me, if it's dangerous for a deer, it may be dangerous for a three-year-old. So I don't
7:46
know why people are feeding their children these processed foods. Yeah. I mean, let's talk about,
7:51
and there's lots of places I can go with you. You're so well versed on this topic and we have
7:56
definitely has some overlapping material. But let's talk about these artificial flavors, right?
8:01
They're neurodegenerative, as well. They're tricking your brain. They're causing
8:04
neural inflammation. They can lead to ADHD, something that you studied for years. So what is it
8:10
about these fake neurological toxins that can induce brain inflammation? And there's so many,
8:17
right? And we don't have to just... Let's start with sweeteners, artificial sweeteners.
8:20
Okay. I want to differentiate between these sugars. So Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist
8:26
from Stanford, someone who I really like. I think he's got great information. He did a podcast. He
8:31
talked about artificial sweeteners. He kind of talked about them broadly. Yeah. And the challenge
8:35
was, I think he missed some stuff. And so it's important to differentiate sweeteners that are
8:41
natural sweeteners that are sugar replacements versus the artificial chemical sweeteners. That's
8:45
a huge separation. So I'll give you the chemical sweeteners first. We got Aspartame. We got
8:51
sucralose. We got SSL Fluent Fame C. I don't know how to pronounce that. These are things like
8:56
equal. These are the colored packets on the table. A lot of these have negative impacts on a gut
9:02
microbiome. Dr. David Pearlmutter, a neurologist, talked about how... I think it was equal. He said,
9:06
one packet of equal can kill approximately half of your gut bacteria. That's crazy. I mean,
9:11
that's as bad as an antibiotic or it might be worse. I don't know. It depends upon the antibiotic.
9:15
So these artificial sweeteners just alone can be damaging to our gut bacteria. What's good for
9:20
a gut is good for a brain. Harming our gut can be very harmful for our brain and harmful for
9:24
many different downstream systems in the body. And so it's important to differentiate between
9:30
these artificial sweeteners that are chemical artificial sweeteners. And then we have things
9:34
such as xylitol, stevia, monk fruit sugar, and allulose. Got it. These are... I like these generally
9:41
speaking. Xylitol is made from birch trees. Xylitol is 50% the calories of regular sugar. It's also
9:48
good for your teeth. So if you do a xylitol, I do xylitol multiple times a day as a mint. When I was
9:54
in graduate school, I got to interview Dr. Ellie, who's a dentist, who was advocating xylitol. This
9:58
would have been almost 20 years ago, this 15 years ago, at the University of Texas. I met her at a
10:03
basically a fluoride-free event. I was passionate about getting fluoride out of the water when I was in
10:07
graduate school. Still am. It's just still making progress. I think they just were rolling in Florida
10:12
that they won to remove fluoride from the water. What city? Or was it the state? I think it's the state.
10:17
Really? That's news to me. That's fantastic. There are some news. Some folks have been
10:21
sharing it. I saw it on social media, but I didn't click. It's amazing to me. This is still a
10:25
thing because the science was clear 20 years ago. The fluoride's bad in the water and it's bad
10:29
from many different systems. Bad for children. Fluoric in class, blood, brain barrier in children,
10:33
because the blood, brain barrier is not formed until six months of age. Large research studies
10:36
out of China. Children exposed to fluoride have lower IQs. Tons of data. Tons. Right. And still,
10:41
it was a huge uphill battle then. And still today, I've had videos flagged saying,
10:45
this is not scientifically accurate. I say, look, you don't want to give fluoride water to
10:48
children. Here's why. Children, first of all, should be drinking breast milk babies. I'm talking
10:52
about babies. They should be drinking breast milk. The mother's body actually filters out 99, 98%
10:56
of the fluoride. So mother's body knows not to give babies fluoride. Mother nature knows this.
11:01
Adding it into the water that the baby drinks directly is really, really stupid. That's just
11:05
completely counter to the science. And so I published a video on this and then it got flagged. I know
11:10
this has false information. No, it doesn't. And it's really scary. It's scary for me that there are
11:14
large companies adding fluoride to baby water and marketing that to mothers and mothers say, I'll
11:19
pay the extra dollar for the for the Florida water for my baby. That's a terrible idea. Please
11:24
don't do this. And I'm not a medical doctor. Not giving medical advice. It's all your medical doctor,
11:28
but goodness gracious. It's all the competent medical doctor who knows that babies aren't supposed
11:32
to drink fluoride. There's zero requirement of drinking of consuming fluoride that the mineral
11:37
requirement of drinking fluoride is zero. Yeah. Unlike magnesium, which is very high. If you want
11:40
to help your child add magnesium to the water. Yeah. Why don't they add magnesium to
11:44
water? It's so silly. Artificial sweetener. So it's a back to artificial sweetener. So
11:47
Zyletol is great. I like to take a Zyletol mint after eating. It really helps with your mouth
11:51
bacteria and also helps protect against cavities. So that's a great mint or gum after a meal.
11:56
So Zyletol, but don't eat it too much of it. There was a New Year's Eve party where I was going
12:00
to us. I'll dress up a tuxedo and I brought it. I brought bring a delicious healthy dessert.
12:04
Oh yeah. You made everybody fart. Yeah. Yeah. I brought Zyletol Tiramisu.
12:08
It was so good and it ruined everybody. Well, I ended up eating half of it. Oh,
12:12
it ruined you. I had terrible stomachaches. Yeah. I had a terrible stomachache. It was awful.
12:18
I've done the same thing with carrot cake with friends. Yeah. I'm over and it ruined their gut.
12:22
Too much. We just too much. So you got to be careful. So Zyletol, I wouldn't bake with it,
12:26
but it's great. It's great as far as just rinse out the mouth and mince and gum.
12:30
Yeah. Number two is Zyletol and then my absolute favorite. I'll give you my favorite is
12:34
Alulose. A-L-L-L-U-L-O-S-E. I was using this way. First started making a brain healthy chocolate.
12:38
This is something to maybe five years ago. I was buying this in 50-pound bags from distributors.
12:43
You couldn't buy it anywhere. Couldn't find it. Alulose wasn't just now becoming main.
12:47
My hope is in five years most processed foods will use Alulose because it's 90% fewer calories
12:52
than regular sugar. It can help stabilize blood sugar in a double-blind procedure-controlled trial
12:57
in Korea. Obes people who took Alulose versus placebo actually lost weight. So it helped
13:03
with weight loss. I think through blood sugar stabilization, but they didn't explore the mechanism.
13:06
So that's really cool. Super cool. And it's not bad for your teeth. 90% fewer calories. Once
13:11
spike your insulin, once spike your blood glucose, basically one to one replacement for sugar.
13:14
That's amazing. So Alulose is a great sugar replacement. And then monk fruit and stevia,
13:18
I like those in liquid. I will often add that to the Alulose to get a more rounded sweetness.
13:23
So regular sugar or maple syrup probably has the richest sweetness to it. By the way, natural
13:28
sugars, maple syrup and good honey can also be good. Those will spike your blood sugar.
13:34
Please avoid agave. Agave is so bad. It's processed. It's high fructose corn syrup,
13:40
masquerading as health food. So they're charging you more for high fructose corn syrup,
13:45
which is absolute garbage. What happens is our body with high fructose corn syrup very quickly
13:49
turns that into fat. And so people are like, oh, agave. This is natural. This is expensive.
13:54
I'm going to get this. It's sweet. It is sweet, but it's really high in fructose and promotes
13:59
fat gain, specifically the visceral fat, the belly fat, the dangerous fat. And so please don't
14:03
do agave ever. And then tell these companies, stop selling me agave. You're taking a lot of my
14:09
money. Stop putting it in my cocktail. Exactly. So I'm going to say that again. Agave is not a
14:15
healthy sugar. No, got it. Agave is not a healthy sugar. If you want a healthy sugar, maple syrup,
14:20
it actually has some magnesium and good maple syrup does. You can do local honey. That can be
14:23
good for allergies, but that will spike your blood sugar. The healthiest are in allulose. That's a
14:28
one and one replacement for sugar, stevia and monk fruit sugar. I like to, here's how to use them
14:32
together. I do one drop ste, liquid stevia, two drops liquid monk fruit sugar. That adds a really
14:37
nice roundness to the sweetness. That's much better than just stevia. Stevia's got a metallic taste
14:42
to it, not its own. So you got to add both. But when you add stevia and monk fruit sugar together,
14:46
it has this great synergy where it's got much broader sweetness. And it doesn't taste metallic.
14:51
It tastes great. So I'll do allulose and then a little bit of stevia monk fruit sugar.
14:55
Amazing. Really low in sugar and it feels great. So those are the sweeteners that a lot of people
15:01
people think stevia is artificial and so forth. So there's the good healthy, healthy sweeteners
15:05
that are sugar replacements. Then there's the chemical sweeteners. Those generally speaking
15:09
are not good and not safe because of interference with the gut microbiome. There's been a number of
15:14
doctors who published videos saying, oh, Robert loves wrong about artificial sweeteners.
15:18
I've gotten those wrong people too. Yeah, they have an impact now, bro. When people attack you,
15:22
that means you're off and doing something right. There's a study of I think 100,000 people
15:27
nine years in France, 100 tracking, 100,000 people in nine years is a huge study. What they found
15:32
was that those who consumed some form of artificial sweetener, usually aspartame in either
15:37
food or drink had a 69% increased risk of type two diabetes during the study. That's massive.
15:43
That is massive. And so this is a longitudinal study. You can't study sugars in the laboratory.
15:48
I can't give you a die coca regular coke and then then look at your blood sugar and then say,
15:53
look, die coca does raise your blood sugar. Die coca's not bad for you. Well, there's people don't
15:58
eat them in isolation. People eat them with food. What happens when you eat die coca's food? Does
16:02
that affect your blood sugar in different ways? Does it affect your post, does it affect your hunger
16:06
later on in the day? Does it affect your insulin levels later in the day? Does it affect them chronically
16:10
and so forth? Was it impact on your gut bacteria? You can't measure this in a two-hour study in
16:14
a laboratory. You had to look longitudinally. Longitudinally, we find that aspartame and artificial
16:19
sweeteners dramatically increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. This, not Alzheimer's, excuse me,
16:23
type two diabetes. This study found 69% over a course of nine years and a hundred thousand people.
16:27
So that's the data I look at. I look at this long longitudinal study of 100,000 people saying,
16:32
look, this probably not good. Number two, have you seen any really healthy, like really big healthy
16:37
people saying, yeah, artificial sweeteners are great. No, die coca's great. Have you seen a lot of
16:42
really healthy people just sucking down diet coke? I mean, if it worked bad for you, I think
16:45
let's look at the end of total evidence. How many, how many people who really care about their health
16:51
and are really good health experts are just chugging diet coke or diet Pepsi, not the great
16:56
rest to pick on coke? I don't see anyone doing it either. I mean, I've told people sitting on
17:01
the airplane with a diet coke. This is my field. I'm like, oh, you talked about airplanes with
17:04
us. I used to back in the early fiery days, right? You know, we're talking 10 years ago. I couldn't
17:11
help myself. I'm like, you know, you're killing yourself with that diet. Just so you know,
17:17
just use a regular coke, right? I would say it's better. So this is fun. You know, I love your
17:25
energy. We're just going after this man. So do we want to go into these artificial flavoring,
17:33
right? And they're impact on less of an expert on that. I remember, here's a story.
17:38
If you, when I was probably 10 or 12, so mothers, mothers who watch this or parents,
17:41
your children watch what you do. In particular, children watch what their mothers do. They watch
17:45
what you eat. They watch how you think and they watch your exercise. So mothers, please exercise.
17:48
If there's studies on this to your children, I don't know what the research is on this. It's
17:52
just anecdotally. There's a study that showed that children that watch their parents exercise
17:59
will be X many times more likely to exercise and be healthy. Awesome. I don't know that research.
18:03
That makes tons of sense to me. And I just used to see it. Just watch kids in the house.
18:07
Mother does something. Mother, mother used a curse word. Two minutes later, kids says it.
18:10
Yeah. Well, that's not, that's a hard to connect. So I remember coming home from school and the
18:14
pantry is just empty. Yeah. There's just food all over the floor. They say, Mom, what's going on?
18:20
And she, and she's looking at things. I watched your video. And she says, I heard about yellow
18:25
five and yellow fives linked with cancer. So go to all of our food. Make sure we don't have yellow
18:30
five. And I'm like, what's yellow five? And so, uh, and then I remember we went to the store.
18:34
The next one went to the store. I wanted pickles. Uh, and I like, at the time, I like the
18:38
closet pickles. And so I grabbed the closet. She looks at it. She said, you can't have that yellow
18:43
another five. What I like it. No, it's got yellow number five. I grabbed another one. How about
18:46
this one? No, that one is the other number five. I grabbed two three or four five. And you finally
18:50
found the yellow five. Yeah. This is terrible. Where's the two Merrick? Tumeric would have been a good
18:55
thing to add to pickles for color. So, uh, I remember this as a kid. This is, this would have been,
18:59
I'm 42 now. So this would have been over 32 years ago, 34. So I remember this. I was around
19:06
eight years old. And I remember that behavior. And so read labels, uh, uh, have, make sure your
19:11
children see reading labels and exercising. But these artificial flavors and colors. These have been
19:16
an issue for a long time. Yeah. Pollution in our, in our air and our waters problem right now.
19:22
Talk to the people in Flint, Michigan. They haven't had clean water. They're going to have higher
19:25
rates of almost every different chronic disease, including Alzheimer's disease,
19:28
uh, forms of dementia, um, all kinds of problems because part disease or life expectancy,
19:32
all of it because the water in Flint, Michigan, same in Pittsburgh. And what's, what's the
19:36
conversation around the environment that mother earth is going to die? It's climate change. Yeah.
19:40
And when is this going to happen? It should have happened 10 years ago. But they're talking like,
19:44
like 50, 100 years. Yeah. We need to clean up today. Right now. They're people getting sick
19:50
right now because of environmental pollution. They're talking about climate change.
19:54
That's a distraction. We don't need to talk about 50 or 100 years now. We talk about how sick
19:58
mother earth is today. She's already sick. Specifically our air and our water and then our food
20:02
and what we're putting into the soil. It's bad now. We don't need to talk about the flood that's
20:06
coming 100 years from now, whether or not that comes. We talk about we're sick and dying right now.
20:10
And we're hurting the earth right now. Let's not talk about policy that affects,
20:13
earth, affects greenhouse gas emissions in 20 years. Let's talk about cleaning up the water,
20:18
the pollutants that go into the water today. And we can all agree on that. And the forever
20:21
chemicals. We can all agree on that. You would think. But we're not having that conversation.
20:24
We're saying and then half the science as well as climate change is going to happen. When is
20:28
it going to happen? How bad is it going to be? That's not important. What's important? We're
20:32
polluted now. We're sick now. Our water's bad now. Our air's bad now. Let's address these things
20:36
now and not talk about 100 years of now. And so that's a real big distraction in the environmental
20:42
talks that are talking 100 years. Don't talk about now. The problem's bad now. We should be
20:46
addressing things today. Maybe sleep on it. Start tomorrow. But start right away on these things.
20:52
Stop putting forever chemicals in our water. No, I was in I was I went to school at the University
20:57
of Texas for grad school. And I went to I went to policy school there as well. And the EPA in
21:02
Texas, it called the TCEQ, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, is the second largest
21:07
environmental regulatory board in the country outside the EPA. Got it. And what they do is,
21:12
let's say you're a company and they administer funds, say, okay, your company pollutes the water,
21:18
we're going to find you. And so what they do is, so your company pollutes the water. And let's say
21:23
it saves your company a million dollars to pollute the water rather than dispose of the waste in a
21:28
safe way. And this is how it works. And your fine is going to be about a hundred thousand dollars.
21:32
So they're incentivized. When I was there, they incentivized companies to pollute the water by
21:39
finding them less money than it would cost them to adequately dispose of their waste. So it's
21:45
almost they're paying them or it's fluoride. It's their waste and they get rid of it. That's really
21:50
bad. But we have environmental protection agencies in Texas. I love the state of Texas. I like,
21:54
I like living there. I like a lot of their philosophy. I like their freedom. I like the libertarianism.
21:59
But in Texas, the environmental Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is pain is basically pain
22:03
polluters. There's administrative small fines when you pollute rather than say, hey, you saved a
22:09
million dollars by not polluting where you find you two million dollars because we want you actually
22:13
cleaning up your mess. We want you writing your business and running your manufacturing facility.
22:18
So you don't pollute the air and pollute the water. And so we're not going to give you a small
22:21
fine, give you a massive fine to disincentivize you from doing this. And that's how how how crazily
22:28
crazy. So it's crazy. That's facts, bro. It's really scary. And so speaking of water, so I
22:33
highly recommend people drink reverse osmosis or distilled water. Yeah. We're on the same page
22:38
there. Tell me what you think of this. This is my mantra that I've been sharing with people in my
22:41
TikTok and Instagram live. It's reduce exposure to toxins. Yes. It's organic food distilled water
22:48
or distilled water or organic food. I think it's organic food distilled water. Just do those things.
22:51
If you just eat organic food and you just drink distilled water or reverse osmosis water,
22:56
that'll cut out 90, 95, 97, a massive amount of. Huge amount of your toxins, right? Just do
23:01
those two things. Organic food and distilled water. It's great to do those two things. You're so
23:06
much safer. Let's talk about coffee for a quick minute. Because this is one of the things most
23:11
of us consume daily without thinking twice. Coffee is a natural product, but that doesn't mean
23:17
it's clean by default. It's commonly sprayed with pesticides. And if it's improperly stored,
23:22
it can develop mold and micotoxins that can impact your energy digestion and overall health.
23:28
That's why I only drink coffee that's organically grown, low acid, and third party tested for
23:33
mold and other toxins. Clean inputs matter, especially for something you rely on and use
23:39
each and every morning. If you love coffee but you don't love acid reflux, jitters, crashes,
23:44
and stomach issues, this is an easy place to start. And you can find what I believe to be the
23:49
world's cleanest coffee and tastiest coffee at lifeboostcoffee.com, backslash, nontoxic dad.
23:56
I would agree. I mean, when you look at the major exposures because the things that you do
24:01
on the daily, right? And there's studies showing that if you switch someone from a conventional
24:06
conventional vegetables and then for two weeks you have the organic vegetables and you look at
24:10
their fertility and infertility, they get pregnant just from switching to organic foods,
24:16
getting rid of the pesticides. They're the side. So it's powerful. These things are loaded.
24:21
Things that you do every day. That's how I like to look at it. What are you doing every day
24:25
that's exposing you to a load of toxins that your body can handle? Therefore, it has to store it.
24:30
And when you start storing these toxins, this is where the cellular inflammation happens. This is
24:34
where you're overwhelming your immune system. This is where you're now destroying your gut microbiome,
24:39
which is connected to your brain. This destructive, and I think one of the reasons
24:45
while you're going to see a big lift is that glyphosate is so, I mean, it's even organic foods,
24:50
but it's one of the ones it's like the fluoride, right? glyphosate is like fluoride. It shouldn't be used.
24:58
The science proves it, but they would rather pay out the currently 11 billion dollars in lawsuits
25:04
and have another 20 billion pending because they're making more money selling the glyphosate.
25:10
It's crazy. So glyphosate is round up, which is very common to use pesticide.
25:15
I've recently heard that it was in our rain water, which is terrifying to me, which means you
25:18
can't drink spring water because it could have glyphosate in it. If it's in the rain water,
25:21
it's basically everywhere. It could be in your lawn. It could be in your home creek in the back.
25:27
It's in the rain water. This has been known since 2011. I found an environmental paper from 2011
25:34
from the government showing that glyphosate was in rain water. So that's 12, 13 years.
25:40
Yeah. Our government's known for 13 years that glyphosate, a very strong pesticide and a known
25:46
toxin was in our rain water. And I'm just, I just learned about it, I think, within the last two
25:51
years. Someone told me that's scary to me that that information exists for 10 years and
25:57
almost no one knows about it. If it's in our rain water, it's everywhere. It's everywhere.
26:01
What does that mean if it's in organic rains? It's in bee, it's in showing up in honey,
26:05
like even organic honey because the bees are bringing it back, you know?
26:08
If it's everywhere, that means it could be in all of our food. Bequitous.
26:11
What happens if poison, if low levels of poison enter our entire food system?
26:16
I don't know. Probably not good things. And so I mean, at some point, I hope we don't have to
26:23
import all of our food from Europe because they don't allow glyphosate. It might come to a point
26:26
where people who can afford it who live in the United States are importing a lot of their produce
26:32
because there's a lot less glyphosate in Europe because it's not legal there. And we're still
26:37
allowing it here in the US. It's, it's amazing to me. So government protecting our health,
26:41
not doing a good job. No. And then you talked about family. It's like, well, that's affecting
26:45
families. Of course. It's affecting our ability to take care of our family, how we treat each
26:50
other, how we treat our children. We're not, we can't show up for our families. We're so overwhelmed
26:55
that we get home at night. Our hormones are so dysregulated. The best we can do is turn a TV on.
27:00
I'm so glad you mentioned that because that the food so affects our families. A lot of
27:05
parents will come to me and say, Hey, what do you think about my child? What's happening with
27:09
them? They'll describe some symptoms. Yeah. They might be autism or ADHD. I'll say, what's the child
27:13
eating? And it's usually regular standard American diet, which is high fat, high sugar, highly processed
27:18
foods. I say, well, I would start there before you think about medications or even before you
27:23
think about supplements, change your child's diet and get them off the phone and get them, you know,
27:28
not looking at a screen. I see. I saw a nanny bringing a baby into, it was a public park.
27:33
Yeah. With an iPad. I said, I was, I wanted to say, listen, the point of bringing your child
27:39
outside or bringing the child of the family you're taking care of is so the child's outside and
27:45
enjoys being outside. Not so they watch cartoons on an iPad while you enjoy a walk in the park.
27:50
Yeah. And so taking away these stimulations that are very artificial is a big thing for
27:56
brain development as well. But so I'm so glad you made that connect. So protecting our families.
28:02
Yeah. Well, if our children are sick, if we're sick, if we're grumpy, if we're eating low-quality
28:06
food, that affects the quality of life and that really breaks down the family unit because now,
28:11
instead of being able to enjoy our children and joy being parents and as they grow up and playing
28:16
with them outside, we now are taking them to the doctor and taking them multiple doctors and
28:19
going to go to get neurofeedback. They're going to get all kinds of treatments, all kinds of tests
28:23
and so forth. And it's really stressful. It's really hard. And so the food that we feed our
28:28
children is having a massive impact on the family. I'm so glad you brought that up, Warren.
28:32
It's like wounding people so that it sucks resources out of your home. You only have so much energy
28:38
moms and dads. It was going to save you time. It's going to save you money. It's going to save
28:43
you pain and suffering by making these switches. So we're bringing awareness. This is what we do.
28:47
And I believe we're both pretty effective at it. A lot of these things were just bad policy.
28:51
I don't think there's people who are trying to make everyone in the United States diabetic because
28:54
that breaks. If half the people in the United States have diabetes, I think our economy collapses
28:59
because half of us are taking care of the sick people and they're not nearly as productive
29:03
and what's going to happen. So if half of us get diabetes, which is where we're going, I think
29:08
everything breaks. Hopefully not. Well, I think there is a movement towards natural health. I think
29:12
people are moving back to regenerative farming. Thank goodness. Yeah, there's a big movement
29:15
happening. And I think the will shift. Like I'm hopeful. It's got to if it does it like literally
29:20
everything breaks. Everyone's going to be on Medicaid because they're going to be people are
29:23
going to be poor and type two diabetic. They're going to be a ton of medicine and they're going to
29:27
need a ton of healthcare workers. If everyone's either working in healthcare or sick at home,
29:32
how are we going to be a productive society? Everything is just going to break. Yeah, I wish I wish
29:37
our leaders a handful do talk about the reason we want to change healthcare policy and we care
29:43
deeply about people. You and I both do. And it's not like I don't want someone not to be able
29:47
to have healthcare. But what if we push the truth? What if we held companies accountable? Europe
29:55
does a better job. And we have European influencer friends, health influencers. They're saying it's
30:00
still bad over there. And we're probably a good 25% worse in the foods that we offer. Sure, it's
30:05
worse. Yeah. And Joe with the real worst is I saw this documentary India. So India is now the
30:10
world's most populated country. And they have allowed these large American-based fast food companies
30:15
come in there and just sell their, sell their people garbage. Obesity and diabetes are skyrocketing
30:21
India, which is a really big deal. It's the most populated country in the world. And I saw this
30:24
documentary. They're showing what's in the fast food. It looked like such utter garbage of
30:29
processed food. So type two diabetes and obesity are just on the rise. Huge in India. Compared
30:34
that to France, France says much lower diabetes and obesity rates than we do, they have much
30:40
stricter laws on what can be in their fast food. So Europe has much better laws than the United
30:45
States. And we have better laws than in India. And so I wish at the minimum, we'd all adopt
30:51
what the harshest stricters laws are in Europe and France to protect people from the cheap
30:57
additives that these fast food companies are putting in their food in the United States. Oh,
31:01
this blew my mind. I had a roommate from Mexico and he brought back a Coca-Cola from Mexico.
31:06
This is the actual example. And then he had a Coca-Cola from the United States. He said,
31:10
Robert, check out these, check out these bottles. So I looked at the one, the one from Mexico
31:13
it was flavored with sugar. That was a sooner. The one from the United States was sweetened with.
31:19
I fructose. I said, this is amazing to me. Coca-Cola, an American-based company,
31:24
is selling a lower quality product to Americans than they sell in Mexico. That's amazing to me.
31:30
And so they're willing to put profits over people. They're willing to put our health
31:34
at risk for a slightly increase in profit. How much does it cost to do sugar over high fruit
31:40
just corn syrup? Not much. Not much. I don't know. Is it a penny? Is it two pays? Is it five? Does
31:44
it matter at that level? I don't know. But they're making that choice to hurt Americans' health
31:50
relative to other countries that require a higher standard of food in their beverages. I thought
31:57
that was fascinating. That American-based company. Is there a company more American than Coca-Cola
32:02
or McDonald's? But why's there maybe? I think that's been bought by a foreign company.
32:07
So those two companies, they're like, big, happy American companies. They're poisoning America.
32:12
And they know they're doing it. And they're not allowed to do it on the country. So they don't
32:15
do it as much as on the country. That's just the corporate responsibility. It's amazing to me.
32:20
And I want to blow your mind with this. I know the supplement industry well. And I know
32:26
formulators and manufacturers are some of my, you know, I have friends in the industry. And when
32:32
some of many companies are formulating, and if it's ten cents more per bottle, and it's going to
32:38
save them money for a lower quality, essential oil, nutrient, it could be contaminated with heavy
32:44
metals. They will choose. Because I talked to them. They'll say, no, I want the better price point.
32:49
Especially I don't want to throw any, you know, I'm just going to say that so money, right?
32:56
When we talk about conspiracy, but a lot of this stuff is economically driven. They're not as smart as
33:01
they they appear to be. They're on TV. You're wowed with these people. The brilliance is in moms,
33:09
families. We have so much value to add. Stop listening to the messages that you're hearing. Stop
33:17
believing that this stuff is safe. And it's so hard to make that shift. But once you do,
33:22
it is Pandora's Box. But talk about freedom. One of the things that people love. If you love
33:28
your freedom, right? If you truly love your freedom, get free. You're not free. You're, you're
33:35
drinking your Budweiser. Don't give up my beer. You're eating your McDonald's. When you, when you're
33:40
choosing this stuff, you're not truly free because you're choosing it. But they've tricked you into
33:46
saying that it's safe, right? I'm going to die anyway. A lot of these, it's just a little bit of
33:51
toxins. You are not, you don't have your freedom. It's just a little like toxins. I love that. I'm going
33:56
after your one of your core values in humanity. We love our freedom. You're not truly free if you're
34:01
still eating this stuff because it's poisoning your body. It's a fact. It's affected your ability to
34:05
make choices. I want people to be able to eat whatever food they want. I want, yeah, you, you,
34:09
I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just trying to provide some information that you can choose.
34:12
What are the three base causes of Alzheimer's disease? So the three base causes of Alzheimer's
34:17
disease. Number one is inflammation. Inflammation with a primary risk factors. Almost every other
34:22
risk factor affects inflammation. Inflammation is also a major cause of premature aging and
34:28
high levels of inflammation increase almost risk of every risk of almost every different chronic
34:32
disease. A number two is type two diabetes. You've heard Alzheimer's disease called type three
34:38
diabetes for a couple of reasons. Number one type two diabetes increases inflammation.
34:42
And number two, if we have type two diabetes, you're not using energy effectively. That means your
34:46
brain is not getting the right amount of energy. And if your brain isn't getting the right energy,
34:51
this can lead to brain fog and brain fog over time and someone over age 50 can lead to mild
34:56
cognitive impairment. And that's basically the beginning of Alzheimer's disease. And then another
35:00
major cause that a lot of people don't think about is traumatic brain injury. People who've had
35:07
multiple concussions, concussions later in life, a lot of people with ski or do active things
35:11
or have a car accident, repetitive concussions or traumatic brain injury can be a huge risk factor,
35:16
especially if it goes unaddressed. And then perhaps one of the biggest ones is food, either
35:21
inflammatory food or food that does not have the right nutrition. You need to be eating foods that
35:25
have healthy oils, healthy fats like fish oil, omega-3 fatty acids. And then the right vitamins,
35:30
for example, dissection studies of Alzheimer's brains find that those have a deficiency in magnesium
35:35
compared to healthy brains. A lot of Americans aren't eating enough magnesium rich foods. And so
35:40
eating the right foods is a really important thing to help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
35:44
So what you're telling me is someone has brain fog on the daily and they continue to have brain fog
35:50
that there can be a correlation to cognitive memory loss, cognitive problems down the road.
35:57
Absolutely. If you have poor memory and poor focus today, and then tomorrow, then the next day,
36:01
and the next day, and it keeps on sustaining it, that can become the new normal for you. And
36:05
then it's going to get worse because you're not getting the right stimulation. Your brain's
36:08
probably not getting the right energy, the right nutrients. Yes, it's sustained brain fog. It's
36:12
absolutely a risk factor for long term for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
36:18
Literally, brain fog is an early onset symptom of Alzheimer's and other cognitive
36:24
neurodegenerative conditions and cognition. So people drink coffee to get rid of brain fog.
36:29
So you're putting a band-aid on something. Your body's telling you that something's wrong.
36:34
I have low energy in my brain. Type three diabetes. You're cognitively not there. They wish
36:41
they could be Robert Love and go into our brain. We all can do that. It's not just us
36:46
that's able to access this information. Brain fog is a signal telling you that something's wrong
36:52
with your brain and putting a band-aid on it, taking a nitropic isn't going to fix that cause.
36:59
No, that brain fog can lead you down a path that may put you into one of the top killers in
37:05
America, which is dementia. Yeah, one of the best things to do for brain fog is sleep. Sleep in
37:08
food and exercise. A lot of people with brain fog aren't getting good sleep. A lot of them are
37:12
eating good food. A lot of them aren't getting regular exercise. I would do all three and just watch
37:17
your brain fog change. More powerful that any supplement that's out there is exercise and then
37:21
good diet and then prioritizing your sleep. That will do wonders for the brain. Beautiful.
37:25
What are three top supplements for brain health? Here are three that I really like. Number one is
37:30
magnesium. Magnesium is used over 300 enzymatic processes in the body and then research shows that
37:36
so it's used in it's involved in energy. It's involved in brain health. It's involved in bone
37:39
health. It's involved in muscles. It's involved the immune system and seven out of 10 Americans
37:43
according to USDA, the United States Department of Agriculture are not getting enough magnesium rich
37:47
foods. Seven out of 10 Americans likely have a magnesium deficiency or benefit from a magnesium
37:53
supplement. I like magnesium glycinate as just being inexpensive and very absorbable and then
37:57
magnesium three and eight is a smaller form of magnesium that can cross into the brain and then
38:01
research studies show that in dissection studies, Alzheimer's brands have deficiency magnesium.
38:04
It's a really good idea to make sure you have enough magnesium and that can also be really helpful
38:08
with sleep. Number two, I'm going to give you a combo. I learned from Dr. David Smith at Oxford
38:13
University is fish oil and a B complex vitamin. You want both and not just a B12, a whole B complex
38:19
vitamin. What he found in his research was that people who take a fish oil and a B complex
38:23
vitamin have a 30% reduction in the risk of Alzheimer's disease. That is massive. That is
38:28
better than any prescription drug out in the market to my knowledge that's been FDA approved.
38:33
Fish oil and a B complex vitamin, I would take them together and then number three is lion's
38:38
main. Now disclaimer, I have a lion's main company. I have a lion's main supplement, so I
38:42
biased in this. The data is huge on lion's main. It's a medicinal mushroom using ancient Chinese
38:46
and Japanese medicine. We're just now learning Western medicine how powerful it is for both the
38:50
brain and the body. Here are just some of the benefits. It improves memory. It improves memory
38:53
both human and animal studies. It improves memory short-term. They gave lion's main to a bunch of
38:59
students and then they gave them a cognitive test. Those who took the lion's main versus placebo
39:03
had better performance on the cognitive test. Just like that also helped reduce depression
39:08
anxiety chronically. There's a cool study in lion's main cookies where they gave women either
39:12
a lion's main cookie or a placebo cookie. The women who took the lion's main cookie had less
39:16
depression and anxiety in the study. It affects that. It affects mood. It affects energy. It improves
39:21
energy. It helps support healthy immune system. It helps lower inflammation, which is one of the
39:24
primary risk factors of Alzheimer's disease. It improves sleep. It helps people fall asleep faster,
39:28
stay asleep longer and fall back to sleep. When I started taking lion's main for sleep, I would
39:32
notice I would wake up in the middle of the night and I was much more easily able to fall back to sleep.
39:36
Don't check your phone. If it's dark outside, just lay in bed and fall back to sleep. I was
39:40
noticed I was able to fall back to sleep much more easily with lion's main. So so many different
39:45
benefits of it. It's great for ADHD for these reasons as well because it improves memory,
39:49
helps with sleep, helps with depression and anxiety. A lot of people with ADHD have some form of
39:53
anxiety or depression. All these benefits and then lion's main is extremely safe. It's a natural
39:59
mushroom that's found in the wild. Those are some really organic which is nice. It's great.
40:04
Yeah. So what are the three most dangerous drinks for your brain? So number one,
40:08
this is an obvious one. People still drink it is soda. So soda is high in sugar but has no fiber.
40:14
And so when we drink soda that spikes are insulin, spikes are blood glucose. Thank you for the risk
40:17
of type 2 diabetes, which is a major risk factor of Alzheimer's disease. It can promote weight gain
40:22
and then diet soda. That can be even worse because diet soda can often disrupt the gut bacteria
40:27
and that can affect all kinds of issues including your you know your gut bacteria is involved in your
40:31
immune system. It's good for your gut. It's good for your brain. So it can be harmful for your
40:34
brain there as well. Number two, this one is this is a crazy one. This is the frappuccinos.
40:40
You know these giant drinks just packed with sugar. Coffee is great for the brain especially organic
40:45
coffee. Coffee is one of those pesticide crops in the United States to make sure you get organic coffee.
40:49
But the problem with these frappuccinos is these are giant coffees. These are you have
40:53
300, 400, 500 milligrams of caffeine. Regular cup of coffee is 100. So this is three coffees,
40:58
four coffees, five coffees. It's way too much for your nervous system. Number two, they're
41:01
loaded with sugar. So you got a ton of caffeine and a ton of sugar in there and then a lot of
41:05
some people put you know different fats in there as well. So these are just a ton of calories and
41:09
a ton of sugar. This is really not good for your brain for the same reasons that soda isn't good
41:14
either. And then lastly some people think this one is healthy. These are the energy drinks.
41:19
Again, super jacked up in caffeine and often the sweeteners often either regular sugar or
41:26
chemical sugars read the aspartame and the equal and so forth. And so for similar reasons to
41:31
soda, these energy drinks, though they do give you energy and these can be like fun for a workout.
41:35
They have way too much caffeine for your brain and they have way too much sugar and these can
41:40
increase problems with the brain. And these are things that are people are doing daily. They're
41:45
going to Starbucks daily for their frapp. They're drinking multiple energy drinks to get through
41:51
the day and they're drinking multiple. You imagine that multiple monsters are like gosh big big
41:58
and it's destroying your brain leading to type two diabetes type three diabetes. It's sad man.
42:04
So humanity, we're not in the best place, right? But there can be a turning point. And if you have
42:11
something that keeps you up at night, something that you have the greatest concern for humanity,
42:16
what would that be and what would you do about it? So I'm really optimistic about humanity. I mean,
42:20
you and I are able to reach hundreds of thousands, millions of people relatively inexpensively
42:25
by recording content on our phone. 10 million a month bro. That's like, it's a lot. That's pretty
42:29
awesome. Yeah. So I think this is an amazing time. Technology is better than it's ever been before.
42:34
We're able to share about the science more quickly and easily and reach people more than ever
42:38
before. So that's amazing. So I'm really positive about a lot of things in our world today. Certainly
42:44
a number of things can be improved that we talked about. If I can make one change,
42:48
the thing I'm most concerned about in the United States, it's not Alzheimer's disease,
42:52
it's type two diabetes, which is going to be a massive concern because a fifth percent of
42:56
adolescence in the United States have pre diabetes. And so if nothing changes, I'm very concerned
43:02
for their quality of life. And then what this does to our broader communities and then our economy
43:08
and our country. And so I'm concerned about that. So if I can make one change and I think this
43:14
is a really important change that I really hope happens. I hope we can pray about this and
43:19
send some, send some prayerful energy to this that this happens. That high fructose corn syrup
43:24
becomes illegal in the United States and hopefully illegal all around the world. High fructose
43:29
corn syrup is a man made invention. Then it's extremely sweet. It's addictive. It actually
43:35
increases calorie consumption. When we consume high fructose corn syrup, we become hungrier.
43:39
And it directly promotes fat gain around the belly, belly fat, which is very, very dangerous.
43:45
And so for just a few pennies per can of soda, these large companies that are already making a lot
43:50
of money could simply protect us from the damages of high fructose corn syrup. So my prayer for
43:56
the world is that sometimes soon high fructose corn syrup is no longer an ingredient in food.
44:02
Is high fructose corn syrup more linked to diabetes than regular sugar? Yes. Robert, I love you.
44:09
You're a great human. I love your fire. I love your passion. I love your zest for humanity
44:16
and the hope that you're bringing the world. You've been a fantastic guest. Thank you.
44:21
I look forward to our friendship growing, helping each other reach more people. You've got a great
44:25
heart, a great mission, and a great vibe about you, bro. Thank you, Robert. Thank you so much for
44:29
having me on. Yeah, it's my pleasure, bro.
