0:00If you want to learn more about vitiligo
0:02and how to manage the condition, then
0:04this video is for you. The baseline of
0:07the information I'm going to share with
0:08you today still applies to chronic
0:10illnesses and autoimmune conditions,
0:13especially if you suffer from a chronic
0:16stress disorder.
0:19I shared my story about vitiligo
0:24maybe three, four months ago. And the
0:26whole premise behind sharing my story
0:28was to let people know that
0:31something so drastic
0:33to the body and to your mental health
0:36can still
0:38be reversed if you understand what's
0:41going on. So I shared the whole baseline
0:45behind that story to let people know
0:48that you can reverse anything in life.
0:52I've been through the same struggles.
0:55I've tried and tested almost everything.
0:59I say almost, we'll get into it, but
1:01almost everything to try and find a
1:03solution to my problem. And when I had
1:06that solution to my problem,
1:09I thought other people knew what to do
1:12as well. But I quickly found out when
1:15sharing my story that no one's got a
1:17clue. There's so much information out
1:20there that it sends people astray. They
1:23try this medicine. and they try this
1:25cream, they try this ointment, this
1:27treatment, but they they are stuck or
1:30the symptoms seem to be getting worse.
1:32And why is that? So,
1:36the amount of DMs I've received on I
1:40have vitiligo, my child has vitiligo, my
1:44cousin, my parents, my spouse
1:48has vitiligo.
1:50How can I overcome these symptoms and
1:53get my color back?
1:55So, everyone's asking me literally the
1:58same question just in different ways
2:01and I'm giving them the same answer. So,
2:04I created this book, The Vitiligo Reset.
2:07The link will be in the description and
2:08the comments for you to grab a copy and
2:12I'm going to use this opportunity to go
2:14into depth. So, if you grab a copy of
2:18this book, it's a digital download,
2:21instant download. Once you purchase it,
2:22it's yours. [bell and music]
2:25If you have a copy of this book right
2:27now, we're going to go through it page
2:29by page. And I'm going to go into depth
2:31the reasoning behind I speak about
2:34certain things. But if you're unable to
2:36get this book because some people due to
2:38financial difficulty cannot get this
2:40book. So, I'm not trying to gatekeep.
2:42I'm trying to do my best here to give as
2:43much information as possible so you can
2:46apply it to your life. That is it. And
2:49the reason why I created this book
2:51before we get [music] into deeper uh
2:52more into deeper into it is I've not
2:55only experienced this as much as I'm not
2:58a doctor and a medical professional,
3:02this is all personal experience and
3:04information that I've gathered through
3:06years of experience and knowledge and
3:11research. Okay.
3:14I've done 10 years in the health and
3:15fitness industry. I've owned a wellness
3:18company for the last seven years. I've
3:21been a human performance coach for Red
3:22Bull sim racing for the last 6 years.
3:24I'm also a longevity strategist in a
3:27book and obviously I've experienced
3:29vitiligo. The reason why I've pul it put
3:33all this information into a book is not
3:34only because of the demand of it and
3:36people requesting information, but
3:38because it's knowledge that people pay
3:42for anyway. And if you're serious about
3:44changing your life for the better, then
3:46you would get this book. Okay? Excuse
3:49the change of the light. There's clouds,
3:51there's a ceiling light, whatever. So
3:54with this book, it gives you a complete
3:58overhaul of the information you would
4:00need to understand vitiligo
4:04and then what could be the potential
4:06triggers to your uh to your body and
4:10your situation. We have to understand
4:12that
4:13vit vitiligo is governed by the gut.
4:16It's by the gut. It's it's an immune
4:18system condition. Okay? It is governed
4:22by the immune system which means it
4:23cannot be cured only managed. So if
4:25anyone tells you you can cure vitiligo
4:28you can't cure it. It is literally your
4:30system and the skin is the response of
4:33what's happening in your system. Okay.
4:37There are ex very
4:40how can I be clear? There are many
4:42variables. Genetics plays a part. The
4:45age at which you got vitiligo. Did you
4:48get it at a young age? Did you get at a
4:50later stage? Was you born with it?
4:53People who are born with this condition.
4:56Unfortunately, I don't have the answers
4:57for you.
5:00I developed this in my 30s
5:03and this will apply to anyone who's
5:05developed it after birth I would say
5:08because I've spoken to people who've who
5:11have children and have um been diagnosed
5:16with vitiligo and then reversed it.
5:18Okay. And I gave them information as
5:20well on what they can do and it was like
5:22an eye opener. It's a complete overhaul
5:25overview of everything for you to
5:28understand because I want to educate you
5:31and the more we can be educated the more
5:34we can be critical thinkers about how
5:37does this apply to me and my life and my
5:39situation. So that's all this book is
5:41all about. It's about understanding the
5:44condition, understanding your life and
5:48what you need to do to change the things
5:50in your life to be able to give you the
5:52best possible way to repigmentate.
5:56And if you haven't repigmentated, at
5:58least you have changed something in your
6:01life for the better, which means you're
6:03going to live a long, prosperous,
6:05fruitful life. Because at the end of the
6:07day, the main thing we need to worry
6:09about is, am I still alive and well?
6:11Yes, I have this condition and it's
6:13messing up my mental well-being and
6:15state, but I am healthy. Okay, for the
6:18majority of you, I'd like to think I am
6:20healthy. I have a roof over my head. I
6:22can do X, Y, and Z. I can run. I can
6:24jump. I can communicate.
6:27Some people are born without limbs. Some
6:28people have had to lose limbs because
6:30of, let's say, diabetes or a terrible
6:33accident.
6:36Okay. So, it's the power of the mind
6:39where I've met individuals
6:41who have damaged [clears throat] their
6:42spine and still get on with each day as
6:46if it was their last, but they have an
6:48opportunity to live. That's the key
6:51thing here. So, stop stressing about
6:53this. I know it's difficult. I've been
6:56there. But the less you stress about it,
6:58the more you can move forward with your
7:00life. Before we get in, I just want to
7:02say if you want a copy of the book, link
7:04is in the description. It will be in the
7:05comments. It's also in the bio of um
7:09this channel and um social media
7:12channels as well. And if you want
7:14onetoone tailored advice and help and
7:16guidance, clarity, direction, then you
7:18can book a one-on-one call with me and
7:20we can go into the depths of your
7:22situation and how to handle it. Okay.
7:25So, vitiligo reset
7:31just to confirm and is very important.
7:34This is not medical advice, a diagnosis
7:36or a treatment plan or a cure. Vitiligo
7:40is a medical condition. I am a coach,
7:43not a doctor or a dermatologist.
7:47Nothing here should replace the guidance
7:49of a qualified medical professional. And
7:52before you change your diet, start any
7:54supplements, ultrasonic exposure, stop
7:58any prescribed treatment, or begin any
8:00new practice in this book. Please speak
8:03to your doctor especially if you have
8:06other health conditions, take medication
8:09or are pregnant. Results vary from
8:12person to person.
8:15Vitiligo cannot be guaranteed to
8:17repigmentate and this book does not
8:20promise it with will. But what it can
8:23share is what But what I can share is
8:26what supported my health, mindset, and
8:28skin. And a way of living that will
8:30serve you regardless of what your skin
8:32does. Read it with an open mind. Apply
8:35it with honesty and take what serves
8:38you.
8:39Simple. That's the important information
8:41out the way. That's the disclaimer. Now,
8:42let's get into the nitty-gritty and and
8:45my [snorts] understanding of what you
8:47can do to change your life and your
8:49situation. Okay. What is vitiligo?
8:52Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes
8:54your skin to lose its color or pigment.
8:56This causes your skin to appear lighter
8:59than your natural skin tone or turn
9:01white. Areas of your skin that lose
9:04their pigment are called macol
9:08if you're less than 1 cm wide or patches
9:11if they're larger than 1 cm. If you have
9:14vitiligo on the part of your body body
9:16that has hair, your hair may turn white
9:18or silver. And when I got diagnosed, I
9:23still early on at the patch above my
9:26eyebrow and uh it was during lockdown
9:29actually and I was so excited for a
9:32parcel to come. I started running down
9:33the stairs, jumped up high and because
9:35the seal because it's not an open
9:37ceiling above uh floated above the
9:40stairs is like um a cupboard so there's
9:44a sharp edge. So if if I walk normally
9:46there's about this much of a gap. I
9:49jumped up and I knocked my head. And
9:51ever since, don't know if you can see,
9:54I've got a white patch on my head. So,
9:57because of the stress and the damage, I
9:59have a patch on my head. Simple as. Got
10:02to live with it. I did think about dying
10:05it, but I said at the end of the day, I
10:07have beautiful hair, beautiful skin.
10:10People have mistaken it for um something
10:14in my hair. um or they just think it's a
10:17natural gray hair, but I tell them it's
10:19vitiligan. They're like, "Oh." So, and
10:22it reminds me of
10:25having self-belief
10:27and lower lowering self-consciousness in
10:30regards to
10:33being mindful of how people would judge
10:35me. Okay, I've got a patch in my hair.
10:36What are you going to do about it?
10:39Cool. I guess you can find me in the
10:41crowd, you know.
10:44All right.
10:46Who does vitiligo affect? Vitiligo
10:48affects all races and sexes equally.
10:50It's more visible in people with darker
10:52skin tones. Although vitiligo can
10:54develop in anyone at any age.
10:59Mules or patches usually become apparent
11:01before age 30.
11:04You might be at a higher risk of
11:06developing vitiligo if you have certain
11:08autoimmune conditions like Addison's
11:10disease, anemia, diabetes, type 1,
11:14lupus, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis,
11:18thyroid disease. How common is vitiligo?
11:21Vitiligo occurs in 1% of the population
11:24throughout the world.
11:26How does vitiligo start and progress?
11:29Vitiligo usually starts with a small
11:32white mules or patch or patches that may
11:36gradually spread over your body.
11:38Vitiligo typically begins on your hands,
11:41forearm, forearms, feet, and face, but
11:44can develop on any part of your body,
11:46including your
11:49mucus membrane,
11:52the the moist lining of your mouth,
11:55muco, I believe, membranes, the moist
12:00lining of your mouth, noise, genital and
12:02rectal areas, your eyes and inner ears.
12:05Sometimes larger patches continue to
12:06widen and spread. But they usually stay
12:09in the same place for years. The
12:11location of smaller mockules shifts and
12:14changes over time as certain areas of
12:17the skin lose and regain their pigment.
12:20The amount of affected skin varies for
12:22each person diagnosed with vitiligo.
12:25Some people experience a few dig
12:27depigmented areas while others have a
12:30widespread
12:32loss of skin color. So again it plays
12:35with comes down to your genetics.
12:38These are the variables. Okay. Different
12:40types of vitiligo include generalized.
12:44This is the most common type of vitiligo
12:45that causes mules to appear in various
12:48places of your body. Segmental. This
12:50type only affects one side of your body
12:52or one area such as your hands or face.
12:55I mainly develop it in my face.
12:58Mucosal vitiligo affects the mucose
13:03membranes of your mouth and or genitals.
13:06So I have this in here. I know I have it
13:08on my lips to some degree as well. Focal
13:11focal vitiligo is a rare type where the
13:14mcules develop in a small area and don't
13:17spread in a certain pattern without one
13:20within one to two years.
13:23Tome. This type causes a bullseye with a
13:27white or colorless center then an area
13:30of lighter pigmentation and an area of
13:33your natural skin tone. universal. This
13:36rare type of vitiligo causes more than
13:3880% of your skin to have to not have
13:41pigment. So a lot of people who
13:45have had vitiligo
13:47or are diagnosed with it, it can be so
13:50widespread and continues to spread
13:53aggressively and that comes down to your
13:56genetics
13:57and then the environment plays into it.
13:59But we're going to get into all of this,
14:02okay? So bear with me. I'm trying to be
14:03as thorough as possible because when I
14:06try and explain this to people
14:09like it goes over their head. Oh, what
14:11about this? What about that? So, I have
14:13to be thorough. And um
14:17I'll try to do timestamps. I've never
14:18done them on here before. But yeah, just
14:22you feel free to put this in two speed
14:23or just click [snorts] forward. What
14:25seems right follow. What causes
14:28vitiligo?
14:30A lack of pigment in your skin. Melanin
14:32causes vitiligo. The reason why this
14:34happens is unknown. Research suggests
14:37vitiligo could be the result of an
14:39autoimmune condition. Your immune system
14:42mistakes healthy cells. Melanos
14:45melanosytes
14:47as foreign invaders like bacteria that
14:49can cause harm to your body. This makes
14:52your immune system overact overreact and
14:55develop antibodies to destroy your
14:57mellow no sites.
15:00So that's what you have to remember.
15:02This makes your immune system overreact
15:05and develop antibodies to destroy your
15:07melanocytes. Okay, let's keep going.
15:10Genetic changes. A genetic mutation or a
15:14change to your body's DNA can affect how
15:17your melanocytes function. There are
15:20over 30 genes that can increase your
15:22risk of developing vitiligo.
15:26Genetic changes. Oh no, I've said that.
15:29I think I better put my glasses on.
15:30Easy. Stress. The amount of pigment your
15:33melanocy cells produce may change if you
15:36experience frequent emotional stress,
15:39physical stress on your body, especially
15:42after an injury.
15:44Environmental triggers. Factors like
15:47ultraviolet radiation and toxic chemical
15:50exposure can affect how your melanocy
15:53cells function. Is vitiligo
15:56genetic?
15:58While research is ongoing to learn more
16:01about the causes of vitiligo, studies
16:03indicate that about 30% of vitiligo
16:05cases are genetic. This means that the
16:09condition is hereditary and you can you
16:12could possibly inherit vitiligo from
16:14your biological family. Several possible
16:17genetic mutations affect how melanosite
16:20cells function. If a genetic [snorts]
16:23mutation targets the cells that give
16:25your skin pigment, you experience
16:28symptoms of vitiligo.
16:32Within this book, I've also put a link
16:34so you can go a lot more in depth with
16:37what is vitiligo because I think it's
16:40important to understand
16:42what you're dealing with.
16:45Who's the enemy we say? Okay. Um and you
16:48have to understand all facets,
16:53all different variables
16:56because if you don't know what you're
16:59dealing with, you don't know how to
17:01manage and move forward with it. So
17:04there's a lot of key information here
17:06and I think again it goes over people's
17:08heads because you're focusing on the
17:10wrong thing. Okay, use this as an
17:13opportunity to
17:18feed the body the right things for it to
17:20thrive. You have to understand the body
17:22is always trying to find a way to detox.
17:25It wants you to live. So if there's a
17:28compromised system, then it will give
17:32you the signal to be like, "Okay, we
17:34need to focus on this.
17:36Something is harming the body. I need to
17:40let you know ASAP what is going on. If
17:42if you don't fix it, I mean the signal
17:45is going to get louder. It's going to
17:46get worse in quote unquote. So do the
17:50changes now to help you in the long run.
17:53Because what we tend to do is we just go
17:56on about our lives and then when we have
17:59a problem we fix that problem there and
18:01then when in reality we could have
18:04avoided that problem in the first place
18:06if you did the necessary things to
18:09ensure that you didn't have that problem
18:11arise in the first place. It's like
18:13diabetes.
18:15You ate a lot of ultra ultra. You ate a
18:20lot of highly processed foods that was
18:22high in sugar.
18:25Carbo uh simple car simple carbohydrate
18:30glucose spikes.
18:32You you overfed the body. The body is
18:34producing so much in uh insulin is
18:37spiking and it gets to a point where
18:39it's resistant. Now it doesn't know what
18:42to do. your body's taking on this sugar
18:44and when you have excess sugar it turns
18:46into fat.
18:48Okay? And if you're not active enough,
18:50where's what's going to happen? You're
18:52just going to store all this all this
18:54stuff in your body and your body's
18:55trying to fight you to ensure that
18:56you're healthy enough to continue to do
18:59what you're doing. But now you have
19:00these cravings because of the high sugar
19:02intake you've got. So inflammation high
19:05is high. Body's in overdrive. Now it's
19:08resistant. Now you're diabetic.
19:12So if you avoided these things and ate
19:15more natural clean organics foods which
19:19didn't spike your insulin didn't wasn't
19:21high in sugar and you was active on a
19:23daily basis just by walking now you're
19:26maintaining a more optimal body you have
19:29a now sane mind you can focus you're not
19:33jittery you're not emotionally unstable
19:36okay so you got to understand where is
19:39this weak point and and how do we fix
19:42it?
19:44Simple stuff. All right, let's dive in
19:46now. So, we got the contents of this
19:48book. This book is literally over 70
19:50pages.
19:52Um, we're going to go through
19:53everything. My battery shouldn't die.
19:57Fingers crossed. Number one,
19:59introduction, my story, and why this
20:01book exists. Number two, gratitude, the
20:03mindset that starts everything. Number
20:06three, my philosophy and methodology,
20:09the source, not the symptom. Number
20:11four, expectations.
20:13The honest truth before you begin.
20:16Number five, current situation, your
20:18current situation, the wheel of life.
20:21Number six, the four health pillars,
20:24your foundation. Number seven, holistic
20:26methods rebuilding with nature. Number
20:28eight, your beliefs and faith, the inner
20:31work. Number nine, routine, making it a
20:33way of life. Plus, this book comes with
20:36templates. Number 10, the longevity
20:38checklist, your compass. This is will be
20:42a very brief overview.
20:45Um,
20:47for the for the
20:49amount of information stored in this
20:51book, I didn't want to overload you. Um,
20:54and I made another book called the
20:57longevity blueprint, which goes into
20:59crazy amount of depth around the four
21:01health pillars. And I encourage everyone
21:04no whether you've got a condition, an
21:07illness or whatever to get it because it
21:09is life-changing.
21:10Um, and in conclusion, consistency is
21:13everything. So,
21:17it's a load of information thrown at you
21:20before we get into the work that you
21:22need to do. I'm going to briefly go over
21:25this. Um, and if you if you get this
21:28book, you can read it in more detail,
21:29but I'm just going to briefly go over
21:31this. In 2020, I got diagnosed with
21:35vitiligo. I started to see a patch just
21:38above my eyebrow
21:40in near the end of 2019, actually whilst
21:43I was on holiday. I was like, what's
21:45going on here? I didn't think anything
21:46of it. Came back and it kind of stayed.
21:49Maybe because I've just gone from
21:51holiday. There's the holiday highs. Um,
21:54and I was in sunlight. We was in
21:56Morocco, I believe. So, yeah, lots of
21:59sunlight.
22:02And yeah, just after lockdown, that's
22:04when I went to go see a doctor because I
22:06was like, this is getting worse now.
22:08I've survived autumn. I've survived
22:10winter, but
22:12something it's not changing. And then
22:15the catalyst was co and lockdowns. It
22:19was a very, very, very stressful time
22:21for everyone in the world because the
22:24world stopped. Didn't know what was
22:27going on. Didn't have a scooby. what was
22:29going on. And I'm self-employed. I was
22:32running I literally just formed my
22:34company then. I founded my company, the
22:35Louiswis Parish Fitness, a wellness
22:37company, personal training, small group
22:40PT and corporate wellness at the time.
22:42And that was all that that's all it was
22:45until we developed it and grew to
22:48include online coaching and sportsware.
22:50That's another video. So yeah, got
22:53diagnosed, went to the doctor and they
22:55said, "You have vitiligo.
22:58take this cream. So, I took this steroid
23:00cream and they told me at the time, they
23:02said, "Listen, you're not going to rep
23:05pigmentate. This is it. You have it for
23:07life." And I'm like, "What is going on?"
23:10So, I took this steroid cream. They
23:12said, "Apply it topically once every day
23:14or twice every day. I can't remember."
23:16And I was just like, "Okay, I'm going to
23:18apply this cream once a day. See what
23:19happens." Once a day, see what happens.
23:22And I was like, I'm doing this and I
23:25don't know how long I need to do this
23:26for. And at the same time, it feels
23:29wrong. Okay, steroid cream is very, very
23:34aggressive. So, I'm like,
23:37this doesn't feel right. It feels weird.
23:40So, I said to myself, there's got to be
23:42another way.
23:44I've worked in health and fitness now
23:46for
23:48at least professionally for 3 years now.
23:50No, four years now. 2020.
23:53I I I've got to figure something out.
23:55And I'm always researching ways to
23:59build a body that works holistically,
24:01organically, naturally. People would ask
24:04me, okay, do I take steroids and all of
24:06this? And I was like, no, I train
24:07naturally, man. Like, [laughter]
24:09I look after myself. I drink my water. I
24:11have a good time. Life is for a living
24:13and I train hard. That was it. So,
24:15that's all I preach. I'm just like,
24:18there's got to be another way. So, I
24:20stopped using the steroid cream and I
24:22just researched. I was trying to just
24:25find solutions and I came across maybe
24:28one or two people who spoke about this
24:30and the things and and their journey.
24:32They shared this on YouTube and I'm very
24:34grateful for them and I've tried to
24:36refind that them videos and I can't find
24:38them. They're lost in the ether.
24:41So I researched YouTube came across
24:44these people and they were talking about
24:46elimination diet. So they stopped eating
24:49certain foods which I go into the book
24:51about. Um, garlic was one, blueberries
24:54was one,
24:56um, tomatoes was one, I believe. Dairy
25:00was one, and some other things as well,
25:03maybe even gluten. Um, I remember this
25:06girl was speaking about a list of foods,
25:08and I was like, "Okay, I'm going to take
25:09away these foods and I'm going to try
25:10these foods she's recommends." And I
25:12also came across information that papaya
25:15was good for you, right? So, I would
25:17literally, no word of a lie, every week
25:20I'll probably buy about three to four
25:23papayas and I'll just eat them
25:25consistently. Papaya, papaya, papaya.
25:28Like, this is going to save me. I better
25:29eat loads of this. [snorts]
25:31Okay. But nothing was changing. It was
25:34actually getting worse. And I think it
25:36was a combination of me stressing about
25:39the vitiligo symptom. So, I'm like,
25:42"Okay, it's not getting better. What is
25:45going on?" I started to patch was
25:47getting bigger. I was getting another
25:49patch this side [snorts] and I could
25:51slowly start to see it here. So, I'm
25:54going to put an image up here um for you
25:56to see if I haven't done so already. But
25:58yeah, my face was just getting visibly
26:00worse and I felt
26:03embarrassed and I felt mentally
26:06strained. I thought, how people going to
26:08judge me? And I felt like this was the
26:12perfect time for it to happen because I
26:14don't need to go out in public and I can
26:16use a ring light so bright you can't
26:19really see it when I'm live because I I
26:21didn't stop working. Maybe for about 2
26:23weeks we stopped um we stopped I stopped
26:25working. Um but I did everything online.
26:28I did oneonone PT online so online
26:31coaching. I was doing lives online every
26:35day. I was on Instagram doing a live um
26:38and then I did paid sessions online with
26:40group pe group sessions. Yeah,
26:42everything was online. So I just had the
26:44ring light um and just got got on with
26:47it. Okay. So yeah, deep diving and
26:50trying to remember because I'm giving
26:51you as much information through the
26:53situation I I went through. Papaya
26:56everyday getting worse. And then I came
27:00across Vitiligo Organics, ordered this
27:03cream or ointment or whatever that came
27:05all the way from Australia and I bought
27:08the biggest one and a small one and they
27:10said you got to apply this topically and
27:12be in the sun.
27:15Okay. So I literally did that for maybe
27:17two to three months. Nothing was
27:19changing. Literally nothing was
27:21changing. I applied it every day, every
27:23morning. I left it on. I was sit in the
27:24sun. But then I was also worried that if
27:27I stay in the sun for too long, I may
27:29get skin cancer or it's going to make
27:31the condition worse. So there's all this
27:33conflicting information. All this
27:36conflicting information. So it was
27:38eliminating the foods, eating so much
27:40papaya you would go crazy using vitiligo
27:44organics like it was the last hope on
27:48earth. And that that was me for about 3
27:51to 4 months. And what I noticed was the
27:54condition again was just not getting any
27:56better. But I still had a life to live.
27:59You know, I was very wary of how people
28:01would view me. So I would wear a hat all
28:04the time. Um, I avoided going out so
28:07much. At the time I was with a
28:09girlfriend. She was very supportive. My
28:11family was supportive. And she also
28:13helped me understand the things that I
28:15was putting on my face as well. Cuz you
28:17have to understand it's a skin
28:18condition, too. It's governed by the
28:21immune system, but it's a skin
28:22condition. So, what are the things I'm
28:25putting on my skin? What's the chemicals
28:26in these things, right? So, I stopped
28:29using certain facial products and body
28:32creams. I was like, "Okay, there's a
28:34type of chemical in there that I don't
28:36need to have." So, I tried to be as
28:39organic as possible. And that led me
28:41down another rabbit hole. What are the
28:44foods that can trigger it? Okay. Um,
28:48what is it that I'm putting on my skin
28:50that can trigger it? So, I started to
28:54research more into the herbs. Came
28:56across
28:57um a miracle worker called Dr. Si and
29:01studied his philosophy, studied the
29:03alkaline diet, studied all these
29:05different things which I explain in this
29:07book by the way, understanding the
29:10different herbs and how they can
29:11interact with you. Um, I was told
29:13Ginoalloba was good for it and whatnot.
29:16So, I I think I tried Ginoa um and it
29:19was reacting with my skin, so I stopped
29:21using it. So, I tried all these
29:23different things. I tried all these
29:25different things and [snorts]
29:29what it came down to was clearing up my
29:32diet and being consistent with fitness.
29:38Now, at the time, I didn't have an
29:40understanding of the four health
29:42pillars, so to speak, and stress
29:45management. Okay? So, without an
29:49understanding of that, I was still led
29:52astray. the nutrition side of things, I
29:55was triing and error erroring. So, I was
29:58trying out copper, drinking water from
30:01copper vessels and cooking with copper
30:03or putting food and using copper
30:05utensils. And it got to a point where I
30:08think it was starting to affect my
30:11kidneys. I think it's the kidneys or the
30:12liver, one of the two. I drank so much
30:14of it. So, I was like, "Okay, I have to
30:16be mindful of how much I'm consuming
30:18here. I'm I'm spiraling and being over
30:21obsessive with what's going on. I'm
30:24being obsessive with what's going on.
30:28And this obsession is causing the
30:31symptom to get worse because it was not
30:33getting any better. Okay? I want to try
30:36this thing. I need to use this thing. I
30:39need to do this. I need to do that. I'm
30:41doing all these different things, but me
30:44doing all these different things, how do
30:45I know they're actually working? because
30:47I'm trying all these different things. I
30:49can't track it as easy.
30:51So, I'm trying to use food which was the
30:55main thing and then herbs was another
30:56thing. So, iron florine which I explain
30:59in this book certain types of herbs that
31:02are iron rich because iron is the
31:05lifeblood for drawing in minerals and um
31:09it's it's powerful for melan for
31:11melanated people. I found a page
31:14actually
31:16um called Eong. It's eat to live not to
31:18die and he explains all these different
31:21foods that are good for you, man-made,
31:24hybrid, whatever that you shouldn't eat.
31:26What's right for you, what's not right
31:28for you. So
31:30though that that spared me in the right
31:32direction of nutrition and herbs and
31:36yeah, fast forward. Okay. So, you got
31:38the stress of lockdown. You got the
31:40stress of me over over analyzing my
31:42symptoms and how people would judge me.
31:44We was Yeah. We was looking at buying a
31:47house. So, you have I had the stress of
31:51uh getting a mortgage, getting finances
31:54in play, looking at houses, stressing
31:56over solicitors stuff, accounting stuff.
31:59I was bombarded with stuff. So the even
32:04though I got it early and it didn't
32:06spread so quickly, the catalyst of
32:09lockdown and everything else caused it
32:11to spread so quickly.
32:14Okay. So by the time we moved into the
32:16house in January 2021, my face was
32:20probably at its worst. Probably at its
32:22worst. And um
32:26I think early 2021 is when I went to go
32:29see the termologist. So after a year
32:32almost, I was like, I can't give up
32:35hope. I need to figure out what's going
32:37on. So I'm still stressing about it.
32:39Obviously, I need to figure out what's
32:41going on. The NHS doctors ain't telling
32:43me anything. They just gave me a steroid
32:45cream. I believe there's more. So when I
32:47went to go see the dermatologist, he's
32:49looking at me and he's like, "You're
32:50still quite early. You can still
32:52regmentate pigmentate." And he's the
32:54only one who gave me hope. I'm like,
32:56"Okay, cool. There's hope here. I can I
32:59can change this. I can reverse this. My
33:02mindset is slowly changing. He said, "Go
33:05home." Where's home? Caribbean.
33:08Interesting.
33:10So, I didn't have the funds to go to the
33:12Caribbean, but we had the funds.
33:13Obviously, I just bought a house. We had
33:15the funds to go to Portugal. So, April
33:182021, that's when we went to Portugal.
33:21And I kid you not, I stopped using SPF
33:24in 2020. But I said, "Here's my last
33:28hope. Here's the last crusade."
33:31I sat in that sun, fell asleep in it for
33:34like 4 to 6 hours. By the time [snorts]
33:36I finished cooking in that heat, I felt
33:40my skin burn. I was like, "Holy crap,
33:44have I have I done too much here?" But I
33:47believe that was the the literal turning
33:51point. That was the that was so direct.
33:54It was like, "You've done everything up
33:56to this point, Lou. Here's the magic
33:59pill. Here's what's going to help you re
34:02repigmentate."
34:03Okay. So, I believe being able to manage
34:06my stress load by grounding myself on
34:09the beach and getting sea air, getting
34:13in a new environment, being able to just
34:15decompress from stress and just life,
34:18right? And just enjoy my time there. I
34:20was able to relax. And then the sunlight
34:24was able to penetrate me so deeply that
34:27it it sparked something. It sparked the
34:30the biochemistry in the body to be like,
34:33"Okay, we're boosting the immune system.
34:35The skin is getting fed X, Y, and Z.
34:38We're [music] good to go." Wasn't
34:41instant. It was probably a week after
34:43the holiday. So, when I felt that burn,
34:45I was like, "Okay, I got to stay out the
34:47sun for the next 24 to 48 hours."
34:49[snorts]
34:50Aloe vera soothing cream. Cool. Enjoy my
34:53time back in the sun when I felt
34:55capable.
34:57A week or two after the trip, I started
35:00to see small dots [snorts] form on the
35:04whitest of patches and I was like, "Wow,
35:08sunlight is the key." They've been
35:10telling me not to be in the sun and be
35:12mindful of it. So, sunlight is the key.
35:14So, I've given you an indepth
35:17information in regards to how I figured
35:20things out and why I now truly
35:23understand what it takes to help someone
35:26get in the best pos possible position to
35:28repigmentate
35:30because I've tried it and I've tested it
35:33all and obviously I've experienced this
35:36and I put all this knowledge
35:39so concise andformational [snorts]
35:42into this book so you're not
35:45secondguessing yourself. Literally, I
35:47was second guessing myself. [bell] Now,
35:50let's get into the book cuz I can talk
35:51about all day, but I think it's worth
35:53getting into the book. So, that's that's
35:55my story, okay? And my trans
35:58transformation from at its worst to its
36:01best
36:032020 2021 to 2023.
36:07Um, I did speak about overview of how I
36:11reversed my symptoms. It's here, but
36:13this is the more in-depth one which I
36:15think people find useful.
36:18Okay.
36:21Gratitude.
36:22Gratitude. The mindset that starts
36:26everything. Before a single supplement,
36:28before the sunlight, before the routine,
36:31this you must be grateful. When I was
36:34first diagnosed, I saw vitiligo as
36:37something happening to me. That framing
36:39kept me a victim.
36:42The turning point wasn't a treatment. It
36:44was a decision to be grateful and to
36:46take responsibility. So by the time I
36:49went to by the [clears throat] time I
36:51had information from the dermatologist
36:54and he told me about that, it was almost
36:55like a sigh of relief. It was like I've
36:58been told and read information online
37:00that it's extremely difficult to reverse
37:02something if not near impossible. But
37:05this one individual who wasn't even
37:07black by the way. He was a white doctor
37:10who who didn't he took my money
37:13obviously for the consultation. I paid
37:14for it, but he didn't need anything
37:16else. He could have easily been like,
37:17"Okay, you need he knew the answer and
37:19he was very honest with me and he said,
37:21"Go home." He could have said, "Oh, you
37:23need to do this photo treatment. You
37:24need to do this. I read about these
37:25things. I thought it could be too late.
37:27I also read about getting a certain lamp
37:30to to look under and have. I was
37:32researching so much. I don't think
37:34people understand how much research I
37:37did and tried everything.
37:40And it was after I had the consultation
37:43with the dermatologist,
37:45there was a small sigh of relief and
37:47that's when I started to accept what I
37:49had because people who've never met me
37:52before only see me for the first time
37:54and it is what it is. People who know me
37:58obviously have seen me change and then I
38:01put it in myself to be like
38:04I'm not the same person. I I am the same
38:06person. Yes, I've got visible changes
38:07but that doesn't change anything. When I
38:10accepted it, I was grateful for just
38:12being healthy and that's what allowed me
38:15to manage the condition and my life a
38:18lot better. So gratitude was the biggest
38:21turning point ever.
38:24So the turning point wasn't a treatment,
38:25it was a decision to be grateful and to
38:28take responsibility.
38:30This sounds counterintuitive.
38:33How do you feel grateful for the
38:34condition you didn't ask for? It's
38:36tough. But the mindset is truly what
38:40heals you if you haven't got the right
38:43mindset. You can use the latest
38:46treatment. You can have the latest
38:48ointment, cream,
38:51whatever. And I've said in in a short a
38:55real that I created, it's like polishing
38:56a turd. I will give you everything under
38:59the sun. But if your mindset still
39:01believes it's difficult to
39:05repigmentate or to recover,
39:07you're not going to recover because
39:10psychologically you're putting yourself
39:12in a low frequency, a low vibration
39:15vibrational state.
39:18So when I am sick with the cold, the
39:21flu, whatever, if I'm injured, I'm like,
39:23okay, I feel this pain. I've recognized
39:25it. Cool. It's not the be all to end
39:27all. I am I am going to recover well. So
39:30I'm going to continue what I humanly
39:32humanly can do without overexerting
39:34myself
39:36to provide normality to show my body
39:40that cuz it's extremely resilient to
39:42show my body that nothing's changed,
39:45bro. I'm still strong. I'm still me.
39:47Come on, get up. Let's go. If I sit
39:50around moping around, ah, yeah, it's not
39:52going to have the energy
39:55to do what it needs to do naturally. So,
39:58think yourself better and you will
40:00recover so quickly and probably stay as
40:04young as me. You know, if you guess my
40:06age, I'm sure you get wrong because a
40:08lot of people have been saying I'm I'm
40:11late 20s and I'll take the whole day.
40:13But gratitude isn't pretending
40:15everything is fine. is choosing to
40:16notice what is working. So you so you
40:18approach the rest from strength instead
40:20of fear. Gratitude for your health. You
40:23still have a body that carries you. A
40:26mind that can learn. Breath in your
40:29lungs. Vitiligo for all it takes
40:32emotionally is medically harmless and
40:34non-contagious. When you anchor to
40:37what's still whole, the fear loosens its
40:40grip. A growth mindset. Your condition
40:43is not a fixed sentence on who you are
40:46or what life can be. A growth mindset
40:49looks for solutions and not limitations.
40:52Acceptance. This is the doorway. Not
40:55resignation. Acceptance. [snorts]
40:58Acceptance says this is my reality right
41:01now. I'm not going to fight it with
41:03shame. And from this honest place, I'll
41:05do the work. Paradoxically, the moment I
41:09truly accepted my vitiligo was the
41:11moment I stopped feeding it with stress.
41:14Try this each morning before you look in
41:17the mirror with judgment. Name three
41:19things you're grateful for. One about
41:21your health, one about your life, one
41:24about yourself. Do it for the length of
41:27this book and watch your relationship
41:29with your reflection change. for deeper
41:32work on mindset, self-belief, and
41:34reframing. This pairs directly with my
41:3730-day unstoppable system, which is
41:39built for exactly this inner work.
41:43Okay, so I'm going to do my best to
41:44obviously cover this book. Um, but I
41:47want to be more direct and straight to
41:49the point with it. Uh, just so this
41:52video doesn't turn into to 5 hours.
41:55Yeah. But yes, just very briefly
42:00to get this book, the link is in the
42:02comments and the description. You can
42:04get the longevity blueprint, which I'll
42:06make a separate video for, which goes
42:09into depth about the four health pillars
42:11and and biohacking. And if you want to
42:14com uh completely change your mindset,
42:17which was the first thing I ever
42:19created,
42:21which um I de I I developed after
42:24gaining my my myreditation
42:27and in life coaching and now I'm a ICF
42:30accredited coach. I created the
42:34Unstoppable System, which is a 30-day
42:36selfmastery system, which is a complete
42:39overhaul of your life, specifically your
42:41mindset. And it's got so much
42:44information in in there, you probably go
42:46crazy. But it's it gives you everything
42:48you need to live the life you want, to
42:51change your current situation. The
42:54vision you have, you can create it. And
42:56it helps you to believe to to to reframe
43:00and build a new identity in regards to
43:02self-belief and self-confidence. So um
43:06the 30-day unstoppable system was
43:08created for that. So my philosophy and
43:11my methodology,
43:13the source, not the symptom. Focus on
43:15the source, not the symptom. The symptom
43:18is the clue. It's your body pointing at
43:20something upstream that needs your
43:21attention. When we obsess over the
43:24symptom, the patch, the spread, the
43:26appearance, we usually add the one thing
43:29that makes it worse, stress. We fixate.
43:33We panic. We chase quick fixes. And
43:36anxiety itself pours fuel on the fire. I
43:39know everyone's doing this because
43:42people are messaging me saying, "I've
43:43got it. I don't know what to do. I'm
43:45stressing over over it and it's getting
43:46more." Stop stressing over it.
43:51Be grateful for having a life
44:00at least
44:01and then take a step back and see what
44:06is triggering you. Because once you
44:08understand the cause of this, you can
44:11manage this. Simple as. Okay. And
44:15sometimes it's not even a a big thing to
44:19to to
44:21um change. It could be probably the most
44:23simplest thing.
44:25Why I coach this way. Okay, hold on.
44:29Here we go. The doctors treated my
44:32symptom with a cream. Understandable.
44:34That's the model. But it did nothing
44:37about the source. A chronically
44:39stressed, depleted, disregulated system
44:41that had been running on empty for
44:43years. So, prior to me getting vitiligo,
44:47which I think was the the main cause was
44:50lack of sleep,
44:52stressing over um a career,
44:55being an entrepreneur,
44:58just life stresses and not being able to
45:00recover well. So, like I said, I was a
45:04natural body builder or athlete and I
45:09trained hard. I did [snorts] eat
45:11correctly. I ate well. I had whey
45:13protein. Maybe that was a trigger for me
45:16as well cuz I no longer have whey
45:17protein. So many different things when
45:19you look back on it. But then stress and
45:22when the body is at full capacity,
45:26the stress will spill over, willing it,
45:28wouldn't it? So
45:30if I don't recover well enough, i.e.
45:33sleep, and I knew my sleep was poor,
45:38again, it's like polishing the turds.
45:40It's understanding what the weakness is
45:42so you can optimize everything else. So
45:45my two weaknesses was sleep and recovery
45:48and I guess mindfulness.
45:50Yes, I was a member of a spa and I
45:53reasonably so because it allowed me to
45:56take a break from the norm and pour back
45:59into myself without feeling guilty.
46:02That's why I enjoyed going to the spa.
46:05I think I joined 2019
46:09after I built up a client base. But
46:12yeah, I digress.
46:14Why I coach this way?
46:17Across thousands of coaching hours, one
46:19pattern became undeniable. Physical
46:22change is rarely the limiting factor.
46:25Mental and emotional alignment is what
46:28determines whether anything lasts.
46:30People don't struggle because they don't
46:32know what to do. They struggle because
46:33their whole system no longer supports
46:35how they live. Fix the system and the
46:38symptoms often ease on their own. Not
46:40because you added more, but because you
46:42res you removed the resistance. Holistic
46:45well-being. You are not a collection of
46:48separate parts. Your skin, your gut,
46:50your sleep, your stress, your beliefs.
46:52They're one connected system.
46:55So we don't chase your skin in
46:57isolation. We rebuild the whole human
46:59and let the skin benefit from a body
47:01that finally has what it needs to
47:03regulate, detoxify, and repair. Two
47:06things I found mattered most. Sunlight
47:09and stress. Stress management is
47:11non-negotiable. Sensible sunlight
47:13matters too. Again, I'll go into depth
47:16here.
47:18How much should I go into depth here and
47:19when I cover it? Stress management. If
47:22your nervous system stays under the
47:24chronic stress, cortisone remains high
47:26causing weight gain, high blood
47:28pressure, fatigue and anxiety, mood
47:31swings, memory issues, and inflammation
47:33increases. A body under threat does not
47:36prioritize repair. In my experience, no
47:40amount of nutrition or sunlight moves
47:42the needle if stress isn't addressed
47:44first. This is the foundation. I
47:46literally was just talking about that.
47:48Natural light supports your circadian
47:50rhythm, your mood, your vitamin D
47:53production. This is extremely important
47:56and for some under the right condition
47:58will repigmentate.
48:01Medicine even uses controlled light
48:05phototherapy to treat vitiligo which
48:08tells you light plays a role. The more
48:10natural light you get, the better. The
48:13best UV light is the morning sun is the
48:15morning sun that o o o o o o o o o o o o
48:16o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
48:16o o o o o o o o occurs within an hour
48:18after sunrise. This is when the sun
48:20starts emitting safe mild ultraviolet A
48:24and ultraviolet B rays.
48:27So you have to understand when when um
48:30when I was going back on the research,
48:33phototherapy was one. They're using
48:34light and I'm like this is interesting.
48:36They tell me not to be in the sun, but
48:37then they've got light treatment.
48:41They're giving me treatment which
48:42involves light. So they're literally
48:45replicating what is free. Yes, it's
48:49difficult if you live in a certain
48:50environment. So we have to be mindful of
48:54this. Because I live in the UK, it's
48:56difficult to get sun all year round,
48:58isn't it? So photo treatment, if not red
49:00light therapy, is perfect
49:04in the autumn and winter months. Um
49:08and I'm affected by
49:10is it uh sad? So seasonal
49:15affected disorder. One of the I can't
49:19basically your mood is affected because
49:21you don't get enough sunlight. I chase
49:24the sun.
49:27Okay. Safety note. Vitiligo patches have
49:30little or no melanin which means they
49:31have less natural protection and burn
49:34far easily. This is important. Build sun
49:37exposure up gradually. Favor gentler
49:40morning sunlight
49:43and never let your skin burn. Burning
49:45damages skin and can worsen patches.
49:48What worked for me may be different for
49:50you. So interpret this as you will.
49:53So like I said,
49:56I felt the burn in Portugal.
49:58But this is the thing now before I go
50:01any further. People say, "Yes, sunlight,
50:04you got to be careful. You're going to
50:05burn. It affects the aging of your skin,
50:08X, Y, and Z." Okay, cheers. But you have
50:11to understand, I'm from the Caribbean,
50:13mate. I am a brown skinned man. My skin
50:17wants the sun. I thrive in it. So, if
50:20these people on these Caribbean islands
50:24can't even afford SPF and they look
50:27well, well, most of them anyway, then
50:32what is this man-made construct that I
50:35must use SPF to protect myself when many
50:38countries
50:40literally have sun all year round
50:43and even those in poorest of places live
50:46to over a 100red years old. So there's
50:49got to be something going on here. The
50:52sun is a mood booster. It is the
50:54lifeblood of everything. So if my system
50:58is compromised in some way, I have to
51:00feed it the right things, which means
51:03I'm dehydrated.
51:05My body has a lot of inflammation.
51:09When this is the case, I'm going to burn
51:11so quickly. I can sit in the sun now. I
51:14tell you what, two years ago I went to
51:16Dubai for the first time and it was end
51:21of May I believe in 2024.
51:27Yes, I think so.
51:30And um no, the my first time was end of
51:352024 and then I went again 2025, end of
51:38May. Either way, it was hot. And when I
51:41went there, it was like 40, easily
51:46averaging 40 to 45°.
51:50I sunbathed in that. No SPF.
51:54I knew I needed this. I knew my skin
51:58needed this. And the reason why I could
52:01stand in this sun, direct sun, for so
52:05long, was because I fed the body the
52:08right things.
52:10Electrolytes, which we're going to get
52:12into. I was hydrated. I didn't have so
52:15much inflammation. I was doing
52:16intermittent fasting as well to reduce
52:18the inflammation, right? And then when
52:21it got to a point where I felt like, oh,
52:22this is a bit much, then I'll just go in
52:24the shade. So you have to learn how to
52:28manage your body. You have to understand
52:30the signals, how to feed it on a regular
52:32basis.
52:33Let's move on. It's important to
52:36highlight this
52:38because without the right environment,
52:40my body would not thrive.
52:44Before we move on, it's important you
52:46understand this. Depending on your
52:47situation, man-made products can either
52:48be beneficial or detrimental. The whole
52:51of Western medicine is to treat the
52:53symptom, not the source. Big farmer
52:54makes money from sick people. Remember
52:56that. So critical thinking is
52:58imperative. The sun can harm you or can
53:01heal you. This is dependent on many
53:03factors unique to you. You must take
53:04this seriously if you want to see real
53:06change.
53:08I feel like I skipped something quite
53:09important. Okay, here we go. I'm a big
53:12believer in holistic healing and organic
53:14methods. With that being said, I stopped
53:16using sun lotion SPF in 2020. As a
53:19Caribbean man, I was made for the sun.
53:21And living in the United Kingdom, I'm
53:23rarely exposed to the sun on a
53:24consistent basis. So think about this.
53:27If I'm meant for the sun, why would I
53:29block the sun and use cancer-causing
53:30chemicals to do so? This was the first
53:33step. Based on an short information, I
53:35was told to be afraid of the sun when in
53:38reality, I should be bathing in the sun
53:40at every given moment. As electrical
53:43powerful [music] beings, the sun is the
53:44giver of life. It grows our fruits,
53:46vegetables, and herbs which feeds us and
53:49the animals we eat. So why would I not
53:51embrace the source of life? When my
53:53vitiligo was at its worst, I risked it
53:56all. A trip to Portugal was the starting
53:58point in my transformation. This was the
54:00final piece to a confusing puzzle. I
54:03changed my diet. Dr. Drank iron florine
54:06rich herbal teas. Ate clean organic
54:08foods. Consumed antioxidant rich fruit
54:10and vegetables. Minimized ultrarocessed
54:12foods. Lowered my gut gluten intake. No
54:15fizzy drinks. No alcohol. Gut friendly
54:17foods. Did 24 to 48hour water fast. Took
54:21the right vitamins and supplements.
54:23Improved my recovery. Practice
54:25gratitude. Gratitude. Trained daily. And
54:27stayed hydrated.
54:30The honest truth. Before you begin, I
54:32won't sell you a fantasy. Here's the
54:34truth plainly. First, come to terms with
54:36the condition. Before you chase any
54:38result, make peace with where you are.
54:41With where you are. The work in this
54:43book lands completely differently when
54:45it comes from acceptance rather than
54:48desperation. Desperation is just stress
54:51wearing a mask. And stress is the thing
54:53we're trying to reduce. Vitiligo will
54:56not disappear and it's not cured. It's
54:59managed. Anyone promising a guaranteed
55:01cure is not being honest with you. What
55:04you can do is give your body and mind
55:05the best possible environment to
55:07regulate and in doing so give yourself
55:09the best chance of stability and for
55:11some repigmentation.
55:14Do not expect quick results. In my
55:16experience, meaningful change is not a
55:18matter of weeks. Give it at least 3 to 6
55:20months of consistent living before you
55:23judge anything. and understand that
55:25visible skin changes, if they come,
55:27often take 12 to 18 months or longer.
55:30This is a long game. This is not
55:33discouragement. It's the truth that
55:35protects you from quitting at month two.
55:37And here's the part that matters most.
55:40Whatever your skin does, if you do this
55:43properly, you will win because the real
55:46prize isn't pigment. It's a healthier
55:48mind and body, lower stress, better
55:51sleep, more energy, and a stronger sense
55:54of self that lasts for the rest of your
55:56life. You're building longevity.
55:59Repigmentation, if it comes, is a bonus
56:03on top of a life you've genuinely
56:06upgraded. Hold that frame and you cannot
56:09lose.
56:14I hope you guys understand how how I'm
56:18trying to open up your mind here.
56:21Open up your mind here. When people are
56:24asking me certain questions, they're
56:26living they're literally giving giving
56:27me the clue. So, they know they just
56:29don't know that they're giving me the
56:31answer to the thing that they're already
56:32asking.
56:34What's going on in your life?
56:37What's the weak point? Hone in on that.
56:42What is the subconscious trauma you
56:45have?
56:48How present can you be? How do you
56:50dissipate the the negative energy you've
56:52got? How do we get you to a higher
56:53frequency?
56:56How can we change your mindset for the
56:58better? How can you look at life
56:59solutionbased? Live in abundance and not
57:02in limitation or in fear or a lower
57:04frequency.
57:06This is the main thing.
57:10It's not just about the physical changes
57:12that you're trying to make in your body.
57:14Yes, they're important, but it goes on
57:16here cuz once you've changed this, you
57:18view life differently.
57:21Okay, I want to get through this. Your
57:23current situation.
57:25So, I encourage people to um go deeper
57:29into their current situation in life
57:31because if you don't know where you're
57:33at now,
57:34you won't have the the necessary clues
57:38and understanding on what you need to
57:40hone in on. So, within this book, I
57:43speak about the wheel of life and this
57:46book comes with templates. So, you use
57:48that templates to fill this out and then
57:50you understand your weakness, which
57:52allows you to focus on that. And if if
57:55you want to get the wheel of life, I
57:57think there's a free free one to do
57:59online. So just Google the wheel of life
58:01and you can do it yourself. Okay? But
58:03anyone who's got the book, you've got
58:05access to it here. Um and you can start
58:09doing [snorts] the work necessary to see
58:10where you're at. And it will look at
58:12your career, your health, friends and
58:14family, fun and recreation, money,
58:17significant other/romance,
58:20personal growth, physical environment.
58:21You [music] might not think these are
58:22important, but they do play a part in
58:24how you manage your your stress.
58:27So, we go into the four pillars.
58:30The four pillars.
58:33Your foundation. Everything I rebuilt, I
58:36rebuilt on the floor. Four pillars. Get
58:39these aligned and your body finally has
58:41what it needs to regulate, lower
58:43inflammation, detoxify, and repair.
58:46Neglect them and no supplement or
58:48sunbeam will save you. Assess each
58:51pillar honestly. Then choose one small
58:54improvement for each small consistent
58:57compounding. That's the whole game. So
58:59pillar one is sleep and recovery. And um
59:04I go into
59:08telling you why it's important, why
59:10sleep is important, what to need, what
59:12you need to reflect on and how to
59:14optimize it. So sleep is the foundation.
59:17This is the foundation of the
59:19foundation. Sleep is when your body
59:21repairs your nervous system resets and
59:23inflammation
59:24comes down. Chronic unsleeping keeps you
59:28in a stressed inflamed state. Spec
59:30exactly the environment vitiligo thrives
59:33in I was running on 5 hours that had to
59:36change first. So reflect how many hours
59:39are you truly getting? Is it quality?
59:42Are you waking up in the night?
59:45Optimize your sleep.
59:48consistent sleep and wake up times. Tip:
59:51If you struggle to sleep, use meditation
59:53music, sound frequency, sounds, or white
59:56noise to help you fall asleep. It may be
59:58difficult for one to two weeks, but
1:00:00consistency is paramount. If you don't
1:00:02get enough sleep, then everything you're
1:00:04doing is not going to work. Sleep and of
1:00:08course, the sun is lifeblood. And when I
1:00:11track back in 2021, [music]
1:00:16um that's when I had anxiety as well.
1:00:22[clears throat] The mental load on
1:00:24something that can be so detrimental
1:00:26does so much to your biology, your body,
1:00:30your mindset. So I was very anxious and
1:00:34I overthink certain things. My heart's
1:00:36beating, beating. So my body's not at
1:00:39rest. that's killing me slowly. So, I
1:00:42had to figure out a way and breath work
1:00:44and meditation was a big one. Breath
1:00:46worker meditation. So, I'll go through
1:00:48that in mindfulness. Again, I'm going to
1:00:50give you as much information as
1:00:51possible, but certain information you
1:00:54you have to get this book. Um, you have
1:00:56to get this book if you really really
1:00:58want to change what's going on. But I'm
1:01:00doing enough here for you to help give
1:01:03you enough information. Pillar two,
1:01:05nutrition. Food is information and raw
1:01:08material. To detox to detoxify and
1:01:11rejuvenate, your body needs the right
1:01:13nutrients and far less of what inflames
1:01:16it. We go deep on this in the holistic
1:01:19methods chapter. But the principle is
1:01:22simple. Feed the body what it can use,
1:01:24remove what it can't. Reflect. What am I
1:01:28actually eating? How processed is it? Am
1:01:30I hydrated? Optimize more whole
1:01:33unprocessed foods, more plants, quality
1:01:36protein and healthy fats, less
1:01:39ultrarocessed food, sugar and additives,
1:01:42more water. So going to go through the
1:01:45other pillars and we're just going to go
1:01:46focus on the reflect and optimize bit.
1:01:49The tips, they're in the book. Simple.
1:01:53Pillar three, movement is medicine.
1:01:56Movement is your lifeline. It regulates
1:01:59stress hormones, improves circulation
1:02:01and oxygen delivery, supports
1:02:04detoxification, lifts moods, and drives
1:02:06longevity. It doesn't mean punishing
1:02:08yourself. It means moving your body
1:02:11daily with [music] intention. Reflect.
1:02:14How active am I really? Is my movement
1:02:18varied? Strength, cardio, mobility.
1:02:21Optimize daily movement. Even a walk
1:02:24building strength, some cardio and
1:02:26mobility. Consistency over intensity.
1:02:30Mindfulness, your mental and emotional
1:02:32state, your stress, your triggers, your
1:02:34self-t talk, your self-image. This is
1:02:36where stress is either created or
1:02:38released, which makes it central to
1:02:41everything. Managing your mind isn't
1:02:43soft. It's the highest leverage pillar
1:02:46you have. Reflect. What's my stress
1:02:49level dayto-day? What triggers me? How
1:02:51do I speak to myself? Optimize daily
1:02:54practices to regulate breath work.
1:02:56meditation, journaling, time in nature,
1:02:58being present, name your triggers and
1:03:01and build responses to them. And then we
1:03:05have a certain bit for you to score each
1:03:07pillar. But again, if you can't afford
1:03:11this book, I get it. I have a free
1:03:14download. So, the free 7-day reset
1:03:16allows you to realign the four pillars
1:03:19and your mindset. So you can use that as
1:03:22a way to help guide you and build a
1:03:24routine into your current lifestyle to
1:03:27help you rebuild your body. Okay. The
1:03:32main thing is what's happening up here.
1:03:33If we can get into a routine, eliminate
1:03:36certain things by putting in boundaries
1:03:38and non-negotiables and building a
1:03:40routine that serves us for the long
1:03:42term, then your body will thrive.
1:03:45Holistic methods,
1:03:48rebuilding with nature. This is where we
1:03:50give the bodyest raw materials. Think of
1:03:53this chapter as the toolkit. Draw from
1:03:55it with your doctor's input and remember
1:03:58the golden rule. Test don't guess.
1:04:01Everything [snorts] below is what I
1:04:02explored in my own journey. It's not a
1:04:04prescription. Supplements can interact
1:04:06with medication and condition
1:04:09conditions. Natural does not mean
1:04:12riskfree and more is not better.
1:04:14Remember I was going crazy with the
1:04:16copper. I even tried dandelion root. All
1:04:19these things made my body react. I could
1:04:22feel it in my skin. I can So I had to
1:04:24stop. So you take them in small doses or
1:04:26you just completely stop. So you always
1:04:29have to test first. Even ginkober I
1:04:31don't take because it thins the blood.
1:04:33Um I rather find something else that
1:04:35works for me. Start with data. Blood
1:04:39testing before supplementing anything.
1:04:41Get a comprehensive blood panel. It's
1:04:42the difference between guessing and
1:04:44knowing. Bloods reveal your specific
1:04:45deficiencies and imbalances. So you feed
1:04:48your body what it actually needs rather
1:04:49than copying someone else's list.
1:04:51Address the real gaps first. When I was
1:04:53researching, I didn't do blood test. I
1:04:55did it the hard way and the long way. Um
1:04:59only in 2023,
1:05:02I believe I had a blood test and that
1:05:04revealed a lot. So because I was
1:05:06training for a marathon and I wasn't
1:05:09eating enough because I was still
1:05:10intermittent fasting put a lot of strain
1:05:12on my body. So, I had to take certain
1:05:13things to help rebuild the gut and the
1:05:16thyroid and we're good to go. So, I
1:05:19stopped taking certain medic med medic
1:05:21uh medication or supplements, started
1:05:24taking other things that was more
1:05:26specific to the needs, right? And that's
1:05:28when that's when it was more powerful
1:05:32and really helped me. But, um anyone
1:05:34who's starting this journey, get a blood
1:05:36test, understand your deficiencies, you
1:05:37might even understand you're anemic or
1:05:39low in iron. There's a there's a key
1:05:42here. Um, and that will probably be the
1:05:43key to your to your thing. Rebuilding
1:05:46with nature. Use nature to rebuild you.
1:05:49Sunlight, water, and hydration.
1:05:51Minerals. Trace minerals like copper
1:05:54play a role in pigment production.
1:05:56Enzyme function and protects the cells
1:05:58from oxidative stress. Remember, we want
1:06:00inflammation low. Hence why copper is
1:06:02important. But I get copper not through
1:06:05um oxidized water. I get it through
1:06:07foods. You typically get water uh you
1:06:10typically get copper from seafood organ
1:06:12meats like a nuts and seeds, beans, dark
1:06:16chocolate, cacao and copperade bottles
1:06:18and bowls. Rather than self dosing,
1:06:21check your levels, blood tests and
1:06:22address them properly with guidance.
1:06:24Copper poison is a real thing. Copper
1:06:27poisoning is a real thing. So be mindful
1:06:29of how you consume it, especially
1:06:31through cutlery and copper wear. Okay,
1:06:33there's a section here where I talk
1:06:34about Dr. Sabi. I say just Google Dr.
1:06:37Sabi. There's there's no point in me
1:06:39speaking about it here. And then you got
1:06:41herbal teas and remedies. So I list
1:06:44herbs, adaptogens, and remedies I
1:06:46personally recommend and take myself.
1:06:48You can mix certain herbs to make strong
1:06:50iron florine teas, but please remember
1:06:53take them in small doses first to test
1:06:55for any adverse reactions. And there's a
1:06:58whole list of them. So you got
1:07:00sasparella, elderberry, blue verain,
1:07:03yellow dock, bock, caparal, koala,
1:07:07African ginger, boede,
1:07:10red clover, key lime, batano oil for
1:07:13skin, external only, seamos both
1:07:16internal and external, coconut oil,
1:07:19avocado oil, extra virgin oil, Siberian
1:07:22jinxing, ashwagandha, lion's mane,
1:07:24cordicps, rayi, ginko, ginko baloba,
1:07:29This is a blood thinner so only take if
1:07:31safe. Fonio which is a powerful grain.
1:07:34Green tea ceremonial ceremonial grade
1:07:36matcha macaroot manganesees. So I list
1:07:40all these things here which can have so
1:07:42much benefit to your body. The thing we
1:07:45lack in and what people overlook is
1:07:49vitamins and minerals. We talk about
1:07:52protein this and high protein that. Get
1:07:55all this protein to build muscle x y and
1:07:57z. It's all a fast. It is literally a
1:08:00joke. Like sometimes I don't I probably
1:08:03only get like 100 grams when I should be
1:08:06apparently near 200. All right.
1:08:09Carbohydrates [snorts] and fats. Now,
1:08:12these are important, but we miss the
1:08:15micro the micronutrients.
1:08:18We speak about high protein. This excuse
1:08:20my belly. I need to eat. I've been I
1:08:21haven't eaten yet. And it's What time is
1:08:23it? It's almost 4:00 cuz I've been
1:08:25fasting. But yeah. Um,
1:08:29protein, carbohydrates, good fats, cool.
1:08:33What about fiber?
1:08:35What about the vitamins and minerals?
1:08:37Not through a supplement. Through the
1:08:39right foods, nuts, seeds, berries,
1:08:43vegetables,
1:08:44green leafy veg,
1:08:47salt, magnesium, glycinate, all of that.
1:08:50You have to be mindful of the vitamins
1:08:52and minerals because that's what's going
1:08:53to allow the body to work more
1:08:55appropriately. So, I tell someone, I'd
1:08:58rather have the sauce than a man-made
1:09:00product. So, I'd rather eat this, for
1:09:03example, this fruit and this vegetable
1:09:04rather than this burger, so to speak.
1:09:07This burger is going to serve me in one
1:09:09or two ways ways. It's oily. It's fried.
1:09:14It's not going to be well for my gut.
1:09:16Yes, I could probably get um B vitamins
1:09:18and certain other things from the red
1:09:21meat, the beef or whatever the bun,
1:09:24brios bun or whatever can can be
1:09:27detrimental to the gut because of the
1:09:28gluten. I mean, there might be some
1:09:30lettuce in there, X, Y, and Z, but it's
1:09:32going to be detrimental to my body.
1:09:34Okay. It serves me in a way that feels
1:09:37good because it tastes good, I guess.
1:09:39But so does uh uh a wellprepared fruit
1:09:43and veg or just eat it raw. And when I
1:09:46eat it raw, it's not only the sweetness
1:09:49I get from the fruit, I get the fiber, I
1:09:53get the vitamins and minerals which then
1:09:56sympi synthesizes in the body a lot
1:09:59better. Remember the body works on
1:10:02biochemistry. Okay. So when I get this
1:10:04particular mineral, it's going to
1:10:06interact with my body and serve me in
1:10:08the right ways possible. Whereas when I
1:10:10have this meal, it's going to make me
1:10:12feel bloated, sluggish. I'm not getting
1:10:14the right vitamins and minerals.
1:10:16Understand that. So go to the source. If
1:10:19you can't pronounce what you're eating,
1:10:20you're not meant to be eating it. Simple
1:10:22as.
1:10:24Um, also go into superfoods and
1:10:26nutrition to prioritize. Okay, let's go
1:10:29through this. So, seamos, iron, florine,
1:10:31teas, darkly leafy greens, berries and
1:10:34colorful fruit, quality red meat and
1:10:36oily fish. Uh, a wide range of
1:10:39vegetables and fruits, different seeds
1:10:41including pumpkin seeds, sunflower
1:10:43seeds, walnuts, sesame seeds, cashews,
1:10:46almonds, Brazil nuts, beef, liver,
1:10:50oysters, bone broth, bok choy, fermented
1:10:54vegetables, i.e. Kimchi,
1:10:57vegan protein, coconut milk, almond
1:10:59milk, and lactoseree options. What to
1:11:02avoid and reduce? Ultrarocessed foods,
1:11:05junk foods, sushi, farmed salmon, and
1:11:09pork. The reason why I say sushi,
1:11:11especially in lowquality places,
1:11:14parasites. Parasites
1:11:17um are not good for the body and they'll
1:11:20they'll send signals in your brain to
1:11:22eat more because
1:11:25that out to eat more crap because it's
1:11:27feeding off you and can cause so much
1:11:29harm to the body. Um starchy foods and
1:11:32nightshade vegetables. This is why I
1:11:34fast to reduce inflammations and the
1:11:36cravings. Sugary foods, fizzy drinks and
1:11:39alcohol. Artificial sweeten sweeteners.
1:11:42Additives E numbers. If I see a E number
1:11:45in a product, I avoid it like the
1:11:47plague. Once in a blue moon, I'll have
1:11:49some some M&M's because I've got a sweet
1:11:51tooth or used to heavily chemical
1:11:54products. Chemically rich products on
1:11:56your skin. Simplify what you apply
1:11:58topically. Make sun protection choices
1:12:01with a dermatologist. See chapter 3.
1:12:04Papaya, garlic, tomatoes, blueberries,
1:12:07dairy, whey, quinine, gluten, flax
1:12:10seeds, sauces, and condiments. Seed oils
1:12:13is a big one. Oh my days. So those are
1:12:17the things to avoid. Just reverse it.
1:12:19Write it down. Whatever.
1:12:22Yeah. Avoid seed oils. Rape seed oil.
1:12:25You see that? Run. U vegetable oil. Run.
1:12:30There's another one I can't remember at
1:12:32the top of my head. Palm oil. Run.
1:12:36Nutrients that support skin immunity and
1:12:40repair. So I list some vitamins and and
1:12:43certain things you can do. Vitamin E,
1:12:46skin, vitamin D and K immune function.
1:12:49Vitamin C and zinc immune and repair.
1:12:52Vitamin A skin. Selenium antioxidant
1:12:56immune omega-3 with DHAs and EPA's
1:12:59anti-inflammatory organ and brain
1:13:00function. Magnesium brackets glycinate
1:13:04stress sleep recovery. I recommend
1:13:06everyone should take magnesium glycinate
1:13:08before bed. No question. The principle,
1:13:13give the body clean, correct nutrients
1:13:16so it can detoxify and rejuvenate
1:13:19properly, guided by your blood tests,
1:13:21not guesswork.
1:13:25Contrast therapy. Alternating heat and
1:13:27cold, sauna, and cold exposure is
1:13:29something I use to support
1:13:31detoxification,
1:13:32reduce inflammation, and strengthen my
1:13:34stress resilience and mindset. Start
1:13:37gently, build up and check with your
1:13:39doctor first if you have any
1:13:41cardiovascular or other health
1:13:43conditions.
1:13:46It's a long video, isn't it? Jeez. Okay,
1:13:49so endocrine disruptors.
1:13:51The endocrine system is a complex
1:13:54networks of glands and organs that
1:13:56produces and releases hormones
1:13:59directly into the bloodstream to
1:14:01regulate vital bodily functions
1:14:04including metabolism, growth and
1:14:06development, reproduction, mood, and
1:14:08sleep.
1:14:10Imbalances in hormone levels can lead to
1:14:13various medical issues. Common
1:14:16conditions include diabetes,
1:14:18thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders,
1:14:22and reproductive fertility disorders.
1:14:26With big corporations controlling and
1:14:28operating food production on a mass
1:14:30scale, they can implement processes to
1:14:32ensure the production runs smoothly, cut
1:14:34costs and make a profit. The goal is not
1:14:36to ensure we eat healthily. The goal is
1:14:39to make money. So the ethics behind
1:14:41behind feeding the nation is not in
1:14:44their best interest.
1:14:47Google endocrine all right and you will
1:14:50learn more.
1:14:52EMFs Bluetooth radiation electromagnetic
1:14:55fields are invisible areas of energy
1:14:58produced by electricity. They are
1:15:00generated by various sources included
1:15:02power lines, electrical appliances and
1:15:05wireless devices like Bluetooth enabled
1:15:08gadgets. I don't wear any of the
1:15:11gadgets. The only thing I do is um
1:15:13Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. That's that's the
1:15:16that's the one. And I try use wired
1:15:18headphones where possible. So, yes, I'm
1:15:21a sucker for for for Bluetooth
1:15:23earphones, but a constant watch like a
1:15:26Apple Watch or any type of watch or even
1:15:29the Whoop or the the the the Aura I
1:15:33don't wear. You have to think it's
1:15:35constantly sending light into your skin.
1:15:38Cool. But then it's constantly feeding
1:15:40something to your phone, which means
1:15:42you're constantly covered by radiation.
1:15:46Okay. Shortterm, all right, but
1:15:48long-term effects, we don't know. I
1:15:50remember I had my aura ring for about
1:15:5318 months. After the 18th month,
1:15:56it just felt I had a weird sensation go
1:15:59from this finger all the way up into my
1:16:03heart. I guess I'm trying to remember
1:16:05what information I found about this
1:16:07finger, but
1:16:09um I mainly wore it on this finger or
1:16:11this finger, one of the two. My trigger,
1:16:13one of the two. But I just had this
1:16:15weird feeling. And I tried to explain
1:16:18this to a couple people. They thought I
1:16:19was going mad. But I was like, something
1:16:21is not right. I'm very sensitive to
1:16:22these things. And I stopped wearing it.
1:16:24Now I don't get no pain. So
1:16:27believe what you will. So, I'll go into
1:16:29EMFs, Bluetooth, [snorts] and radiation.
1:16:32Heavy metals. Why it's important to
1:16:35detoxify heavy metals like lead,
1:16:37mercury, and arsenic enter our food and
1:16:40water through industrial pollution,
1:16:42agricultural runoff, and natural soil
1:16:45weathering. Because the body cannot
1:16:48easily excrete them, they accumulate
1:16:50over time. This toxic buildup disrupts
1:16:53cellular function causing systematic
1:16:56physical illnesses and severe cognitive
1:16:59decline.
1:17:02Sources in your diet and water. Heavy
1:17:04metals enter the human food chain and
1:17:06water supply through several primary
1:17:08exposure roots. Drinking water, fish and
1:17:11seafood, rice and root vegetables,
1:17:14processed foods and spices, crowns and
1:17:16filling. Now I got loads of fillings.
1:17:19Jeez. when I had a sweet tooth. The
1:17:22effects on the body, liver system
1:17:24damage, cardiovascular issues, kidney
1:17:27and liver dysfunction, bone
1:17:29deterioration, anemia.
1:17:32Lead can inhibit the body's ability to
1:17:35sympathize hemoglobin leading to reduced
1:17:38oxygen flow.
1:17:41psychologically,
1:17:43brain and fog fatigue, memory
1:17:45impairment, mood disturbances,
1:17:48developmental delays. So, when people
1:17:51are asking me, "How did I do it?" or
1:17:53they're taking this treatment, this
1:17:55medicine, X, Y, and Z, they're not
1:17:57understanding the things they're
1:17:58consuming. Some people can say, "Yeah,
1:18:00my diet's okay. I try and eat the right
1:18:02foods." But then you're buying fruits in
1:18:04packages. You got to buy this stuff
1:18:06whole and you got to be mindful of where
1:18:10you're getting it from. That's why you
1:18:11have to be as locally sourced as
1:18:13possible. A trick I tell which I learned
1:18:16this year actually was I've always eaten
1:18:19organic eggs. But then there's a way of
1:18:22really understanding if you're if you're
1:18:24getting the [clears throat] best quality
1:18:25eggs and the serial number zero means
1:18:29the best type of egg you will get
1:18:32because the the the the chicken is
1:18:33allowed to free roam and eat from the
1:18:36land. All right. Um and it's not pumped
1:18:39heavily with antibiotics and hormones
1:18:41and x y and z. So zero is the most
1:18:46organic. Number one is free range. So
1:18:48they are kept in the cage but they are
1:18:49allowed to roam at certain times of the
1:18:51day. And then two and three and I guess
1:18:53there's a four. You want to stay hell
1:18:55away from three or four. Those are the
1:18:57chickens that don't get um the
1:18:59opportunity to run around and stuff. So
1:19:02how they produce these animals and what
1:19:04they feed them will have an effect on
1:19:08your body because what they consume you
1:19:12consume. Hence why I don't eat pork
1:19:15because pork pigs they eat everything.
1:19:18They scavenge and now I'm more mindful
1:19:20of eating shrimp and seafood as such
1:19:23like um lobster
1:19:26uh because they feed off the ground.
1:19:28They're scavengers. So, whatever crap
1:19:31they eat, you're ingesting, which
1:19:33includes parasites, which aren't easily
1:19:37killed off in the cooking process and
1:19:39dissolved in your stomach, they will
1:19:40breed. And then you wonder why you feel
1:19:43lethargic. You got brain fog. It's hard
1:19:46to shift the weight. You're bloated.
1:19:50Yeah. Or you can take a pill all bloody
1:19:53day. You can take GLP1 all bloody day.
1:19:57But especially people who come off it
1:19:59and they wonder why they ain't able to
1:20:03sustain it like that that that that
1:20:06lowered body weight is because they
1:20:08haven't changed their lifestyle and the
1:20:11things they consume. You can say, "Okay,
1:20:13I'm going to eat salad. I'm going to
1:20:15have this pasta and I'm going to do this
1:20:16and blah blah blah blah blah." But where
1:20:18is it come from? That's the key. You
1:20:21have to be mindful. Read the
1:20:23ingredients. If I can't pronounce this
1:20:25word, if it's got E numbers in it, if
1:20:27it's got gum in it, if it's got this in
1:20:29it, I don't want it because it's going
1:20:31in my system.
1:20:33So, the more natural I can have my food,
1:20:37the better. Okay. I hope you can't hear
1:20:40my neighbors blast the music. I hope.
1:20:43So, we must detoxify heavy metals. And
1:20:45you can do that through growing your own
1:20:48fruit and veg and understanding where
1:20:50the food comes from. Water filtration
1:20:52systems. So Google that foods that
1:20:55actually help support detoxification. So
1:20:58we'll go through foods and then other
1:21:00ways to detoxify.
1:21:02Can I pronounce this? [clears throat] We
1:21:04shall see.
1:21:06While the body relies on liver and
1:21:08kidney to clear toxins, certain dietary
1:21:10components provide natural compounds
1:21:12that either bind to metals natural
1:21:19or stimulate your indroinous
1:21:21antioxidant pathways.
1:21:24Cruciferous vegetables,
1:21:27broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage.
1:21:29Alenium
1:21:31vegetables, garlic, onions and leaks,
1:21:35algae supplements, clean third party
1:21:37tested corella and spirulina. Coriander
1:21:41can accelerate the excretions of metals.
1:21:44Pectinrich fruits, apples, citrus
1:21:46fruits, and pears. Other ways to help
1:21:49detoxify
1:21:50infrared sauners and exercise.
1:21:53Optimizing your hydration. Switching
1:21:55your cookware. Dietary rotation.
1:22:00Avoid eating large predatory fish such
1:22:02as tuna and swordfish more than once a
1:22:05month, swapping them for low mercury
1:22:07options like wild salmon, sardis, and
1:22:10anchovies. Go organic.
1:22:13Aim to get your fresh produce as close
1:22:16to the source as possible or from
1:22:18establishments that work directly with
1:22:20farmers.
1:22:21learn to be self-sufficient rather than
1:22:23relying on big corporations for
1:22:26everything. Typically, 70 to 80% of the
1:22:29food they sell is bad for human
1:22:32consumptions. Effects are not seen
1:22:34immediately, but they do compound.
1:22:37If you must, or though not completely,
1:22:40aim to purchase organic
1:22:43free form or glutenfree items.
1:22:47Free form, sorry. So they have something
1:22:49in Tesco called free from free from why
1:22:52can I pronounce this? They have
1:22:53something in Tesco called free from
1:22:57which means um free from certain types
1:23:00of industrial foods like seed oils to
1:23:03make the stuff um and gluten. So yeah,
1:23:08when you go to for gluten-free, not all
1:23:10but some usually are made with better
1:23:13ingredients.
1:23:15Um, and then I give you a list of where
1:23:17you can go. So, some establishments
1:23:19worth researching in your local area
1:23:21that provide great quality food and
1:23:23products, farm shops, farmers market,
1:23:27halo butchers. I would also put in there
1:23:29maybe kosher,
1:23:31Whole Foods Market, Waitro and Partners,
1:23:34Marks and Spencers, Planet, Planet
1:23:37Organic,
1:23:38Nura, Daleford Organic, Melroy and
1:23:42Morgan, and Burough Market.
1:23:45So, I did my best there to list these
1:23:47places which you can explore and see
1:23:52where you can get foods. And just to
1:23:54finish off on before um I stop this
1:23:57video to free up some more space because
1:24:00it's going a whole lot longer than I
1:24:02expected.
1:24:03You can download something called the
1:24:05Yuka app and that can show you where I
1:24:09think what does it do?
1:24:11It will clarify how toxic the food is.
1:24:14Basically, please excuse any background
1:24:17sounds you might hear. I have neighbors
1:24:19who have a lot of kids and um they're
1:24:22doing karaoke so I let them live. So we
1:24:25move on. Self-care. Your skin. First and
1:24:28foremost, your skin is an organ, the
1:24:31largest organ in the human body. It
1:24:33operates as a complex complex biological
1:24:36system
1:24:38with its main functions including
1:24:40protection, thermmorreulation,
1:24:44sensory perception, metabolism and
1:24:47excretion, tissue repair and healing.
1:24:51The entire skin cycle renewal cycle
1:24:54usually takes about 28 days in your 20s
1:24:57and can take up to 45 to 60 days as you
1:25:00get older. Ingredients like vitamin A
1:25:03compounds and fyroxy acids can
1:25:08accelerate cell renewal. For external
1:25:12hydration, apply fragrance-free
1:25:15hypoallergenic
1:25:17moisturizing cream or ointments to keep
1:25:20the skin barrier intact.
1:25:22Why I say that self-care is important.
1:25:25Self-care is so important. So as much as
1:25:28I'm putting on these creams and I'm
1:25:30changing my diet, I'm being active, I'm
1:25:33doing this, I'm doing that, you have to
1:25:36understand how the skin also operates
1:25:38and what types of vitamins and [snorts]
1:25:41minerals which I mentioned earlier that
1:25:43you should consume to help boost it, you
1:25:46know. So I eat um a lot of vitamin E
1:25:50foods. Almonds is a big one. I put
1:25:54vitamin E on my skin, you know.
1:25:56[clears throat] So these things help
1:25:59keep the bo the the skin moist, supple,
1:26:03and young. So it it thrives in that
1:26:06environment, which means it doesn't have
1:26:09to work so hard.
1:26:11Does that make sense? Hence why we stay
1:26:13hydrated.
1:26:15Yeah. Cuz the body's made up of 70 to
1:26:1780% water. Why would I not be hydrated?
1:26:20And then what type of hydration is it?
1:26:23structured hydration through electric
1:26:25lights, coconut water, and stuff like
1:26:28that. So, this book is literally
1:26:32so informationally loaded, you can't go
1:26:36wrong. You literally cannot go wrong.
1:26:38Sugar equals inflammation.
1:26:42Added sugars contribute to the
1:26:43inflammation and a host of chronic
1:26:45conditions including autoimmune diseases
1:26:48and arthritis.
1:26:50Added sugar versus naturally occurring
1:26:52sugar. There are several main types of
1:26:54sugar all end in o e
1:26:57but they vary in makeup function and how
1:27:01they're digested and assimulated.
1:27:04Glucose or blood sugar is your blood is
1:27:07your body's main energy source. Fructose
1:27:10unlike glucose fructose is broken down
1:27:13in the liver. It doesn't cause a rapid
1:27:15rise in blood sugar but excess amount
1:27:17can overwhelm the li liver leading to
1:27:19ongoing inflammation.
1:27:22Sucrose or table sugar comes from sugar
1:27:24cane. It's made up of 50% fructose and
1:27:2850% glucose and is simil and is
1:27:31assimilated in both the liver and
1:27:32bloodstream. Dextrose is derived from
1:27:35corn or wheat. Like glucose, it raises
1:27:38blood sugar quickly. Detro is a food
1:27:41additive used as both a sweetener and a
1:27:44preservative.
1:27:46Added sugar is introduced to food during
1:27:48manufacturing or processing. Lactose,
1:27:52milk sugar occurs naturally in dairy
1:27:54foods and fructose is a normal part of
1:27:56the fruit. Some vegetables and honey.
1:27:59Even whole unprocessed foods can be very
1:28:02sweet. A small mango has 46 g of sugar.
1:28:05However, unlike added sugars, it is
1:28:08digested slowly and offset by fiber,
1:28:11vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
1:28:14So, natural fructose doesn't generally
1:28:17cause health problems. Remember what I
1:28:19said earlier?
1:28:22How much sugar is too much sugar?
1:28:23Government guidelines recommend that
1:28:25adults get less than 10% of their daily
1:28:28calories from added sugar. That's 50 g
1:28:31or about 12 teaspoon of sugar for people
1:28:34eating 2,000 calories a day. And look at
1:28:36the foods you eat. Look at the foods you
1:28:39eat and you wonder why your stuff is all
1:28:41messed up. That's all I'm going to say.
1:28:43How does added sugar trigger
1:28:45inflammation? Sugar, no fat, sparks the
1:28:48inflammation that drives most chronic
1:28:50diseases, including obesity, heart
1:28:54disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis,
1:28:58psoriasis, multiple cerosis,
1:29:01sclerosis, inflam inflammatory bowel
1:29:04disease, and liver disease along with
1:29:06alcohol. High fructose corn syrup is a
1:29:09leading cause of liver transplants.
1:29:12This is the reason why I do intermittent
1:29:14fasting.
1:29:16to help reduce my inflammation and not
1:29:18crave all this crap. I I rarely eat
1:29:22highly processed uh foods and if I do,
1:29:25I'm very aware that I do and it's in
1:29:27small quantities. I I was thinking about
1:29:30this yesterday actually. I was like,
1:29:31when was the last time I actually made
1:29:33ate McDonald's?
1:29:35I can't tell you. At least two years
1:29:37now, maybe. Definitely not this year.
1:29:39100% not this year. Last year,
1:29:43did I have McDonald's? Yes,
1:29:48at least a year. And I don't crave it.
1:29:51And I think that the main reason why I
1:29:53had McDonald's was because I was out
1:29:56night out, had alcohol, that was the
1:29:58only thing open. I needed to eat. That's
1:30:00Heyi ho mighty mo. So once in a blue
1:30:02moon is fine, but every week, once a
1:30:04month is a is a bit much for me because
1:30:06there's literally no nutritional value
1:30:08in there.
1:30:10Um, so we got gut health. Your gut is
1:30:12your second brain and referred to as the
1:30:15entic nervous system ENS. This brain
1:30:19controls digestion but also produces
1:30:22majority of your blood serotonin and
1:30:25communicates consistently with your head
1:30:28via the vagus nerve. So when it comes to
1:30:32vitiligo, what is governing our immune
1:30:36system? It's the gut. So, it's very
1:30:38important we go over this bit because if
1:30:42you have a leaky gut, it will be
1:30:44difficult for you to repigmentate
1:30:46at a a reasonable level or repigmentate
1:30:50at all. So your gut which is triggered
1:30:55by the heavy metals,
1:30:57inflammation,
1:30:59ultrarocessed, highly processed foods,
1:31:02gluten, dairy,
1:31:05hot foods, curry, whatever, fizzy
1:31:08drinks, names you can't pronounce. These
1:31:11things are triggering your gut and your
1:31:12body's working in overdrive to mitigate
1:31:15these things. More so the man-made
1:31:18stuff, which is unnatural. So it's
1:31:19foreign. It's your body's like, "Yo,
1:31:21whatever you're feeding me might taste
1:31:23good, but it ain't doing well for me.
1:31:25And if it's not doing well for me,
1:31:27what's the nutritional value here?" If
1:31:29there's no nothing here of worth, then
1:31:31we got to get it straight out or this is
1:31:33the signal to be like we're remember
1:31:35like gastronitis. If there's a foreign
1:31:37entity in your body, your body will do
1:31:39what it can to get. Remember, your body
1:31:41wants you to live, wants you to thrive.
1:31:43It's detoxifying. It's looking for
1:31:45enemies all the time. So if there's a
1:31:47foreign entity in your body, it's going
1:31:49to trigger the alarm system. And your
1:31:52body right now, especially you have
1:31:53vitiligo, thinks your melanin is is
1:31:57doing a madness.
1:31:59So we have to calm the system down, calm
1:32:02the stress levels, feed it the right
1:32:04things, make sure the gut is healthy,
1:32:07and make it realize that we're good.
1:32:10We're safe. Give it a safe environment.
1:32:12We're always in this fight or flight
1:32:14situation because of the the the current
1:32:16world we're living in. But we have to we
1:32:19have to be able to ground ourselves and
1:32:21dissipate this energy and remind our
1:32:23bodies that we are safe. So it works in
1:32:25the same way. And that's why you look at
1:32:27the four health pillars. Your sleep and
1:32:29recovery so you can recover well enough.
1:32:31Your activity to reduce stress, stress
1:32:33and inflammation. The right foods you
1:32:36eat again so you don't trigger your gut.
1:32:37Your mindfulness so you are grounded.
1:32:39You are present. you're not going and
1:32:41overthinking about certain things so you
1:32:43don't get into fall into depression or
1:32:45anxiety and stuff like that. Okay, so
1:32:48they all intertwine. I'm not just saying
1:32:50this for the sake of saying this. They
1:32:52all intertwine. Okay, so gut health.
1:32:56[bell] This two-way communication
1:32:58explains a lot how we function. The
1:33:00emotional link, the gut brain axis
1:33:04explains why you feel butterflies when
1:33:07anxious or get upset. [snorts] a upset
1:33:10stomach when stressed. Mental health.
1:33:13Your gut microbiome. Trillions of
1:33:15microbes can chemically influence your
1:33:18mood, stress levels, and even
1:33:20decision-m. Microbiome impact. A
1:33:23balanced fiber richch diet keeps these
1:33:25microbes happy, which can boost your
1:33:28physical and mental well-being.
1:33:31Improving your gut health centers on
1:33:33nurturing your diverse community of
1:33:35microbes. Microbiome. The most effective
1:33:38way is by eating a variety of high-fiber
1:33:40plant-based foods, consuming fermented
1:33:42items, and minimizing stress. Key
1:33:45actionable ways to improve your gut
1:33:46health include diverse plant foods, pro
1:33:49probiotics, and prebiotics, limiting
1:33:52processed foods, managing stress, and
1:33:55sleep. We don't have a protein problem,
1:33:58we have a fiber problem, literally
1:34:02elimination diet. So again on my journey
1:34:05to understanding vitiligo I started to
1:34:07eliminate certain foods.
1:34:10Excuse me. All this talking man it's
1:34:13just getting my my throat paused. Should
1:34:15have had a ginger drink before this
1:34:17actually. Elimination diet is a
1:34:20shortterm eating plan used that to
1:34:22identify food allergies and intolerances
1:34:25by removing suspected trigger foods.
1:34:28Foods are temporarily removed and
1:34:31systematically reintroduced by one
1:34:36introduced one by one to monitor
1:34:38physical or digestive symptoms like
1:34:40bloating, gas, skin rashes, and fatigue.
1:34:43The process typically spans 5 to 6 weeks
1:34:46and is broken down into two main phases.
1:34:50Elimination phase and the reintroduction
1:34:53phase. So obviously I've got all the
1:34:55details here and I would seek you have
1:34:59to seek a professional uh for advice
1:35:02from a doctor, nutritionist or a
1:35:04dietitian. If you want information on a
1:35:07dietician or nutritionist, I have that
1:35:10information. Obviously you have your own
1:35:11doctor but I have access to these people
1:35:15um who can help you and I'd be happy to
1:35:16recommend. Okay? But do not just do this
1:35:20off the whim. Seek advice. understand
1:35:22what's your current situation um and if
1:35:25you need to eliminate certain foods but
1:35:28you can start honestly certain things
1:35:30you can just easily just stop right but
1:35:33then when you do stop you have to track
1:35:36you don't just stop for the sake of
1:35:37stopping you have to track uh track so
1:35:40when you reintroduce these foods you
1:35:43know what's triggering you okay so
1:35:46Google that do your research find out
1:35:49more fasting fasting is the voluntary
1:35:52abstinence from some or all food and
1:35:55beverages for specific time periods.
1:35:58Instead of focusing on what to eat, it
1:36:00emphasizes when to eat. It encourages
1:36:04the body to switch from burning recently
1:36:07consumed calories to burning stored fat
1:36:09as well as reducing inflammation in the
1:36:12body.
1:36:14Okay, it's funny there's a language
1:36:16around this. So, how did it go? My
1:36:20sister would say, "Oh, he's starving
1:36:22himself technically, but all I'm doing
1:36:26is [snorts]
1:36:28how do I what did I say to it? I'm
1:36:30fasting." Yes, you say you're starving
1:36:33yourself. Oh, yeah, I am, but I'm
1:36:35fasting. This is by choice.
1:36:38So, I prepared myself physically and
1:36:40mentally for it. Where some people don't
1:36:43fast by choice. they forget to eat and
1:36:47then when they reintroduce certain foods
1:36:48into their diet, which is the perfect uh
1:36:52opportunity to have live cultures,
1:36:54fermented foods, um fruit, veg,
1:36:57electrolytes, whatever, they eat junk
1:37:00food and they wonder why their gut is
1:37:03messed up. So, you have to be mindful
1:37:06and the language behind it explains it
1:37:08all. Not starving myself. I didn't
1:37:10forget to eat. I chose to do this. which
1:37:13means when I reintroduce certain foods,
1:37:16they're going to be the best bang for
1:37:18their buck for me.
1:37:21So, you have common intermittent fasting
1:37:25protocols, the six to eight, the 16 to
1:37:2818 method, which is timerestricted
1:37:30eating and the 52 pattern.
1:37:33Uh this approach involves maintaining a
1:37:35standard balanced diet for five days of
1:37:37the week and the remaining two
1:37:38consecutive days individually signific
1:37:41significantly reducing their calorie
1:37:44intake. Then I go through what's allowed
1:37:47through the fast. You should consult
1:37:48your doctor. All right? So again, I
1:37:51don't need to go through all of this.
1:37:53You can do your own research.
1:37:55Um but if you've got the book, I go
1:37:57[snorts] into more detail. The alkaline
1:37:59diet. The alkaline diet is a nutritional
1:38:02plan centered on eating whole
1:38:04plant-based foods to
1:38:06purport why can't I pronounce these
1:38:09words
1:38:10let's say per what purportedly balance
1:38:14your body's
1:38:16pH start again the alkaline diet is a
1:38:19nutritional plan centered on eating
1:38:21whole plant-based foods to purportedly
1:38:24balance your body's pH it promotes fresh
1:38:28fruits vegetables and nuts while
1:38:29emulating
1:38:30Eliminating meat, dairy, and processed
1:38:33foods. While it cannot change your blood
1:38:35pH, encourages healthy, nutritious
1:38:38eating habits.
1:38:41I was um when I was doing my research, I
1:38:44was very heavily focused on the alkaline
1:38:47diet. I encourage it. I think it's good.
1:38:50It's good to do these things from time
1:38:52to time. Remember, you have vegans and
1:38:54vegetarians who focus on this type of
1:38:57thing as well. So they got to be mindful
1:38:59of what they eat. Signals. This is
1:39:01important. When the brakes on your car
1:39:04start squeaking, you see a mechanic.
1:39:07When you smell rotten food, you throw it
1:39:09away. When your newborn child starts
1:39:13crying, you attend to its needs. These
1:39:16are signals. So when your skin is
1:39:18itching, burning, swollen, changing
1:39:22color, this is a signal. When we get
1:39:25these signals, we usually tend to the
1:39:28signal, often neglecting why we receive
1:39:31the signal in the first place, which
1:39:33also puts strain on the system itself,
1:39:36the gut. If the gut is compromised, it
1:39:40will still work, but not at the greatest
1:39:43level, which can lead to a misfire or
1:39:47multiple triggers screaming for help.
1:39:50When you get the brakes changed on the
1:39:52car, that doesn't fix the problem.
1:39:55Technically, yes, it treats the symptom.
1:39:58What you'll have to do is manage the way
1:40:00you drive, reduce the speed, and go easy
1:40:03on the humps. If food smells quickly, is
1:40:06it because the quality of the food
1:40:07wasn't good? Did we mismanage it in some
1:40:10way, or did we just neglect it? When the
1:40:14baby is crying, do they want to be fed?
1:40:18Are they in pain or do they just want to
1:40:22be comforted?
1:40:24Learn the reason for the signal and
1:40:26you'll be able to learn to manage the
1:40:29cause with precise action. So, it's
1:40:33important to become self-aware and be as
1:40:35present as possible. Understand how your
1:40:38body works and treat your mental,
1:40:41physical, and spirit like a temple. When
1:40:44I wrote that, I wanted it to have
1:40:49an analogy
1:40:52to be comprehended in the way that makes
1:40:54you think.
1:40:56Your body is constantly telling you
1:40:58something. You have a headache. Are you
1:41:00dehydrated? Are you watching too much
1:41:02screen time? Like, are you not getting
1:41:04enough sleep? It's signals.
1:41:06And when like the boiler breaks down,
1:41:08who you going to call? Plumber. It's a
1:41:10signal. And then the plumber is
1:41:12literally going to read the code or ask
1:41:14you what's what's been going on to get
1:41:17the symptoms to go to find the cause.
1:41:20Yeah. So these are all signals. The same
1:41:23like when you go to the doctor, but in
1:41:24actuality, they're not actually going to
1:41:26the source. They're literally treating
1:41:27the symptom with a pill which offsets
1:41:30into a a side effect which then you got
1:41:33to treat get another pill to treat the
1:41:35side effect and you're just on ongoing
1:41:36cycle, right? But they are going off a
1:41:39signal effectively.
1:41:41[snorts] The relapse.
1:41:43This can and at some point will happen.
1:41:46It is inevitable.
1:41:49We have to be realistic with a condition
1:41:51like this. The smallest trigger and wave
1:41:54of neglect can spark your immune system
1:41:56into overdrive. It's reactive based on
1:41:59your mental state, your environment, the
1:42:02foods and liquids you consume, and most
1:42:04importantly, the lack of sunlight you
1:42:06receive. How do I know? Because it's
1:42:08happened to me many times. I've
1:42:10repigmented only to discover new spots
1:42:13forming an old patch returning.
1:42:17Did I panic at first? Yes. What did I
1:42:20do? I've got a grip. We are human. We
1:42:23have emotions and our hormones can send
1:42:25us out of alignment. So, what shall we
1:42:28do?
1:42:30Reenter, fall back to the foundation.
1:42:33Listen to the signal. Re-educate. Adjust
1:42:36and apply. Stay calm and controlled.
1:42:38Have self-belief. Be patient. Be
1:42:41consistent. Remain grateful. Be
1:42:44realistic with yourself. You're not and
1:42:48cannot be perfect.
1:42:50Life is for living. Otherwise, what's
1:42:53the point of being alive?
1:42:55So, just because you've been able to
1:42:57manage certain things, something's going
1:42:59to happen. Life is a roller coaster. You
1:43:01can't predict certain things. So, it's
1:43:02going to cause you to feel a type of way
1:43:05to make you relapse or um lose color.
1:43:09But that's just another signal. Oh, am I
1:43:11stressed in what way? Cool. Let me make
1:43:12sure I eat these certain foods. Do I
1:43:14need to eliminate this? Do I need to get
1:43:15more sunlight? Do I need to get
1:43:16Remember, you you've learned your body.
1:43:19Now, you just got to hone in on the
1:43:22correct thing. Okay?
1:43:26Your beliefs and faith,
1:43:28the inner work. We've covered the body.
1:43:30Now the deepest layer and the one most
1:43:32guides ignore. Your beliefs shape your
1:43:35stress and your stress shapes your skin.
1:43:38Two people can face the exact same
1:43:39diagnosis. One is crushed by it. The
1:43:42other is strengthened. The difference
1:43:44isn't the condition. It's what they
1:43:46believe about themselves, their life,
1:43:49and what's possible.
1:43:51What do you believe? What are your
1:43:52triggers? How do we change this mindset?
1:43:57Okay. So here I go on the on on the the
1:44:00inner work for you to really self
1:44:04reflect and um hone in and have a better
1:44:07understanding on on who you are and what
1:44:09you believe in. And once you understand
1:44:11that, do you have a limited mind or do
1:44:14you have a limitless mind? Are you
1:44:15open-minded? Are you close-minded? And
1:44:17once you know that, then you work with
1:44:19it, you know? But if you're
1:44:20close-minded, I can't help you. You have
1:44:23to be open-minded in this world. Yeah.
1:44:25And the best way to do that is to
1:44:27explore, to try, not to be afraid to
1:44:30try, to live fearlessly. Okay,
1:44:34my favorite, the hope strategy. I hope
1:44:38one day I'll fully repigment.
1:44:41I wish I was financially free. To be
1:44:44blunt, don't rely on the hope strategy.
1:44:49This will give you a false pretense.
1:44:51Instead, go on faith and belief. The
1:44:55words you speak are powerful. They
1:44:57dictate how you feel, what you believe,
1:45:00and what you will do. If you believe
1:45:03something to be true, you would
1:45:04wholeheartedly do everything in your
1:45:06power to make it a reality. Why? Because
1:45:09your beliefs provide substance to a
1:45:12highly strong opinion you hold. Whether
1:45:16factual or not, for some reason, whether
1:45:18known or not, you believe that thing to
1:45:21be absolutely true.
1:45:24This is where self-confidence and
1:45:26self-belief play a massive part in your
1:45:28future. And what this comes down to is
1:45:32choice.
1:45:34Will you choose to wait and hope for a
1:45:36miracle? Will you choose to believe a
1:45:38single cream will help you? Will you
1:45:40choose to believe you'll never get your
1:45:42color back? Will you choose to only
1:45:44change the easy parts of your life? Will
1:45:47you choose to challenge yourself and do
1:45:49the necessary work? Will you choose to
1:45:51sacrifice now for an abundant future?
1:45:53Will you choose to be open-minded or
1:45:56limit your thinking? Or do you choose to
1:45:58take back control and evoke action? You
1:46:01decide.
1:46:04Fear, false evidence appearing real.
1:46:07Fear is nothing but a construct, a
1:46:09belief you think to be true, encouraged
1:46:12by negative feelings based on your
1:46:14emotions. Doubt creeps in. You become
1:46:18indecisive. You lose hope. You feel
1:46:20lost. You're confused. Your self-esteem
1:46:23is rock bottom. And now you're more
1:46:25anxious than ever. Fear can come in many
1:46:28forms. Not completing a project before
1:46:30an agreed deadline. Standing on stage
1:46:33speaking in front of strangers.
1:46:34Communicating how you truly feel to your
1:46:36peers, friends, or family. The thought
1:46:39of going to an event on your own.
1:46:41Traveling to a new destination.
1:46:43Recording yourself and posting online.
1:46:45The thought of failure. Being judged for
1:46:47how you look or speak. thinking you'd
1:46:50make the wrong decision, losing
1:46:51something, or hurting someone. The list
1:46:54is endless. These particular thoughts
1:46:57and situations are the very things that
1:46:59cripples you. You engage in an endless
1:47:02debate with yourself. I want to do this,
1:47:04but I already know the outcome. Do you?
1:47:08Unless you've already experienced that
1:47:09particular situation, how can you be
1:47:12sure of the outcome? And if you've
1:47:14already experienced a particular
1:47:15situation, how can you be sure you have
1:47:18the same negative result? What needs to
1:47:21be understood is your own reality versus
1:47:23someone else's reality. Just because you
1:47:26feel that way, it isn't necessarily what
1:47:28other people will be thinking or
1:47:30feeling. Unless you have hard evidence,
1:47:33then your guess is just a guess, a
1:47:36thought about an outcome you
1:47:37overanalyzed and perceived to be true.
1:47:40You can be at an event with a friend and
1:47:43find out you both experienced the event
1:47:45in a different way. And because this is
1:47:47the case, it doesn't make yours or their
1:47:50experience invalid. Depending on the
1:47:53situation, it will determine what action
1:47:55to take. Preparation and planning help
1:47:59to provide the confidence to do what you
1:48:01intend to do. And in other cases, action
1:48:04is required to gain feedback to build
1:48:06confidence. In my opinion, action trumps
1:48:10it all. Do the actual thing to gain data
1:48:13in real time for which you can further
1:48:15assess and analyze after. With [snorts]
1:48:18the experience of doing, you've now
1:48:20involved all your senses. You've become
1:48:22more aware of how you feel and can learn
1:48:25how you respond to emotions based on the
1:48:28situation. This breeds growth and growth
1:48:32builds confidence. The unknown is now
1:48:35the known. With gained information, you
1:48:38can now explore other avenues for more
1:48:41positive results. This is just an
1:48:43example of a scenario, but it can be
1:48:45applied to almost any given situation.
1:48:50And I quote, my quote, "Perceive a
1:48:54positive outcome. Do what you fear.
1:48:58Gather data, reassess, do it again.
1:49:01Gather data, reassess, and continue to
1:49:05do it again until you become fearless.
1:49:08Excuse my French, but fier.
1:49:12Do what you want to do with your head
1:49:14held high. Forget what strangers, people
1:49:18will think of you or how you look. Don't
1:49:21let doubt creep in. You are fully
1:49:24capable and in control. become
1:49:26unstoppable. Stay dangerous.
1:49:30All these things are just to change your
1:49:32mindset. Make you understand that the
1:49:34only limitations you have are the ones
1:49:35set in your mind. So if you believe you
1:49:37won't repigmentate, you won't
1:49:38repigmentate, you won't recover, you
1:49:40won't be able to do anything. You've
1:49:42accept accept your fate. Accept it.
1:49:46Accept what's going on. Now let's move
1:49:48on. How can I rebuild and come back
1:49:50stronger? Who do I believe I am? This is
1:49:53my body, my life. I will choose not to
1:49:56sit in this low vibrational state or
1:49:58this situation. I will grow and develop
1:50:01and become who I want to become. Okay,
1:50:04I'll take the information. How can I
1:50:06digest this, break this down to fit my
1:50:10life? That's all I did. But obviously, I
1:50:13work with individuals on a day-to-day
1:50:15basis to do with their health and their
1:50:18mental state. So, there's clues there
1:50:21already. But because I enjoy psychology,
1:50:23the human body, how things work, I had a
1:50:26head start. I just dived in and I used
1:50:29myself as a guinea pig. And if I can
1:50:32achieve certain things from nothing, you
1:50:34can achieve certain things, too. You
1:50:36just have to believe. Okay, roughly 10
1:50:39pages to go. Speak it true. Be mindful
1:50:42of how you think and speak. Language is
1:50:45powerful and what you say, you think.
1:50:49Practice self-awareness and remain
1:50:51present to what you think, listen and
1:50:53say.
1:50:55Speak this daily. Say this when you feel
1:50:58doubt.
1:51:00I am vibrant, healthy, happy, healed,
1:51:03and whole. Every part of my body is in
1:51:06the state of perfection. My hands and my
1:51:09arms embrace all of life with great joy.
1:51:11My nerves, muscles, and bones express
1:51:14comfort and ease. My mind and my body
1:51:18are flexible and flowing. I have the
1:51:20freedom to move in any direction I
1:51:22choose from inner to outer. My body is a
1:51:26joy to live in. My inner child is
1:51:28nourished and loved and happy. I forgive
1:51:31everyone and everything I've forgotten
1:51:33to forget. I see only perfection in my
1:51:36body and in my world. Life loves me and
1:51:39I love life. And so it is. Speak it
1:51:44true.
1:51:47the routine making it a way of life. So
1:51:50knowledge change is nothing but without
1:51:52a routine this is where it all becomes
1:51:53real. So
1:51:55everything we we spoke about we now have
1:51:58to put it into some form of uh a
1:52:01schedule a routine that you implement
1:52:03into your life. Okay? And that's what I
1:52:06speak about in the book making it a way
1:52:09of life. I'm going to throw this on the
1:52:11screen. Actually, I'll probably put the
1:52:14the the the sample day on here so you
1:52:16have an idea because some people are
1:52:17asking me is like, "How do I implement
1:52:19it?" Cool. You can use this this I I
1:52:22don't mind giving this out, but if you
1:52:24really want to build a routine, then I
1:52:26encourage you to get the longevity
1:52:27blueprint. Get the longevity blueprint
1:52:31in there. You get workouts that you can
1:52:34a six week workout plan literally for
1:52:37you to follow. You get everything you
1:52:39need to do to understand nutrition, how
1:52:42to be in a deficit, how to understand
1:52:44your maintenance, how to improve your
1:52:46sleep and recovery pro protocols, the
1:52:49mindfulness, how to ground yourself, how
1:52:51to bring presence into your life, and
1:52:53then biohacking techniques. There's also
1:52:55a table chart on herbs, vitamins and
1:52:58minerals, adaptogens. Like the book will
1:53:01give you everything you need to change
1:53:04your life and build something into your
1:53:06lifestyle because it comes with a
1:53:08template too. Okay, so the links are
1:53:10there. I'm going to put this sample
1:53:12unless it's already up there, whatever.
1:53:15I'll edit it. But [snorts] cool. The
1:53:17longevity checklist. Literally, I've
1:53:18just spoken about this. This is a comp
1:53:21compass and an attachment to this is
1:53:24just a a basic foundation, a baseline to
1:53:28cover everything. But the longevity
1:53:30blueprint is the master key. Get that
1:53:34and you'll see what I'm talking about.
1:53:36But I encourage everyone um because it's
1:53:39a full breakdown of what you need to do
1:53:42to change your life for the better. So,
1:53:44we've skimmed certain things in here.
1:53:47I've tried to give you as much detail as
1:53:48possible, but honestly, you you have to
1:53:51get this book. But I'm doing my best
1:53:52here. I'm doing my best here. So,
1:53:55conclusion. All right. Consistency is
1:53:58everything. If you take one thing from
1:54:00this book, take this. Consistency and
1:54:02persistence are what create results.
1:54:05Especially when it's hard. There'll be
1:54:07difficult days. Days you see no change.
1:54:10Days the old fear creeps back. Days you
1:54:12want to quit. That is not the plan
1:54:14failing. That is the plan working.
1:54:17Growth lives on the other side of
1:54:19exactly these moments. The people who
1:54:22transform aren't the ones who felt
1:54:24motivated every day. They're the ones
1:54:26who kept going anyway. Remember the
1:54:28frame. Whatever your skin does, doing
1:54:32this properly gives you a healthier
1:54:33body, a calmer mind, lower stress, and a
1:54:36stronger self for life. That is a win
1:54:40you cannot lose. And it's available to
1:54:42you the moment you commit. You didn't
1:54:45choose vitiligo, but you get to choose
1:54:48how you respond to it. And your identity
1:54:50is shaped by exactly that response. Be
1:54:53patient, be consistent, be grateful, and
1:54:56keep going. become unstoppable.
1:54:59So consistency is the actual key. Okay.
1:55:04And then just to finish off on here, um
1:55:07I provide next steps. All right. So you
1:55:10can there's a link in here to book a
1:55:12one-on-one call with me and
1:55:16uh I think there's links in here as well
1:55:18that goes towards the other books that
1:55:20I've created that go in conjunction with
1:55:22this whole reset. And then I also
1:55:25provide recommendations and links which
1:55:28gives you all the different links to the
1:55:30suppliers that I speak about in this
1:55:32book and who you should look into. You
1:55:35also get discounts from my uh partners
1:55:38that I've worked with over the years.
1:55:40One includes Zuki. You also get a
1:55:43certain foam roller 10% off. Health 10%
1:55:47off. Links to Eat to Live Not to Lie
1:55:50where to get the the Camos from. um
1:55:52where you can get clean supplements
1:55:53from. How to improve your moods and
1:55:57recovery by getting blue light uh
1:56:00blocking protectors. I literally have a
1:56:02blue light blocking protector on this
1:56:03iPad, so that's why my eyes are feeling
1:56:05okay. Um [snorts] and a link to the
1:56:07golden ratio sound frequency. I believe
1:56:09in sound frequency. Um I do speak about
1:56:12this. I just didn't mention it here, but
1:56:14it's all part of the longevity
1:56:15blueprint. I think it's highlighted in
1:56:17checklist, but there's a certain part in
1:56:19here as well. I speak about it. So I
1:56:22hope this has given you enough
1:56:25information for you to understand
1:56:29how I overcame vitiligo and how I
1:56:32managed my body, my being, my
1:56:36spiritualness into changing my lifestyle
1:56:41and the way I think to be able to manage
1:56:44these symptoms and repigmentate. So
1:56:46there is no oneizefits all. There's no
1:56:49one particular thing. You have to work
1:56:52on a holistic level and understand that
1:56:55it's a 360 approach. Okay? There is
1:56:58something going on. Your body is
1:57:01compromised. Is it the foods you're
1:57:03eating? How is your gut health? Are you
1:57:06getting enough sunlight? Are you getting
1:57:08enough sleep? Are you going to bed with
1:57:10the with the sunset? Are you keep
1:57:12getting up with the sunrise? Are you
1:57:14getting the early morning UV stuff? Are
1:57:17you building a good healthy circadian
1:57:19rhythm? Um, are you grounding yourself
1:57:21in nature? Is your feet touching grass?
1:57:23Are you hugging a tree? Are you doing
1:57:25contrast therapy for detoxification? Are
1:57:27you eating the right foods for
1:57:28detoxification? Are you hydrated? All
1:57:31these different questions. What is your
1:57:34environment life uh like? Is your room a
1:57:37mess? Is your house a mess? Is the
1:57:39clutter mess you up? If you have a
1:57:41cluttered home, you can't think
1:57:43straight. Literally, you need the the
1:57:46openness to allow the energy to flow so
1:57:49you can be more productive and you can
1:57:51be more focused. Okay. Is there was
1:57:54there a traumatic experience in your
1:57:56childhood? Was there traumatic
1:57:58experience recently? Did you just give
1:58:01birth? Did you just come from a
1:58:02stressful job? Like all these different
1:58:04things you have to ask. Okay. And it's
1:58:07not just one thing. You have to hone in.
1:58:10Okay. I understand this that. Let's
1:58:12focus on that. Let's understand the fear
1:58:14around that. How can we, you know,
1:58:17rebuild from this? And then what can we
1:58:20learn from our own standpoint on the
1:58:22four health pillars? What's the
1:58:24weaknesses? Now, I'm going to focus on
1:58:25that weakness, optimize that. What's the
1:58:28next one? Then we start to build
1:58:29capacity. But from there,
1:58:31self-awareness,
1:58:33accepting our our fate to, for example,
1:58:37our condition, our situation, holding my
1:58:40head held high and saying, "I'm here to
1:58:42stay. Let's go. All right. So, I hope
1:58:45[snorts]
1:58:46this answers many, many of your
1:58:48questions. I encourage you to get the
1:58:51vitiligo reset book and this templates
