It’s time to… Get Healthy Alabama!

Episode 25:25 The REAL Cause Of Heart Disease
Guess what?
The REAL cause of heart disease is NOT high levels of cholesterol.
Nor is it a diet high in saturated fat. A diet that includes foods such as meat, eggs, butter and cheese.
The REAL cause is this:
Insulin Resistance!
Yes, Insulin Resistance is the number one cause of heart disease.
It’s also the best predictor of it.
In fact, Insulin Resistance is a much better predictor of heart disease than cholesterol.
On this episode I explain why.
I also answer the following questions:
1) What is Insulin Resistance?
2) What causes Insulin Resistance?
3) How to know if you have Insulin Resistance?
4) How to prevent/reverse Insulin Resistance?
The information on this episode is extremely valuable and should, in my opinion, be taught to everyone.
Be sure to give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:24 Does High Cholesterol REALLY Cause Heart Disease???
For years we’ve been told that high levels of cholesterol increase our risk of developing heart disease.
We’ve also been told that lowering high cholesterol levels, primarily through the use of statin drugs, decrease our risk.
In both cases, what we’ve been told is wrong.
The truth is much different.
You see, while taking statin drugs WILL lower our cholesterol levels, they will NOT lower our risk of developing heart disease.
So, why have we been lied to?
More importantly… what’s the truth?
That is, what DOES increase our risk of developing heart disease and WHY have we been lied to about the “cholesterol - heart disease connection?”
On this week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast, I answer these questions.
Be sure to give it a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:23 Taking A Statin Drug? Listen To THIS!
Did you know that, for most people, taking a statin (cholesterol lowering) drug does nothing to reduce their chance of having a heart attack?
It’s true.
It’s also something I’ll discuss on NEXT week’s episode.
For THIS week's episode I want to focus on the potential side-effects of taking a statin drug.
Side-effects you DON’T hear enough about.
Side-effects that include:
-
Muscle pain and lack of energy.
-
Brain fog and memory loss.
-
Digestive problems and depression.
-
Low libido and erectile dysfunction.
-
Increased risk of developing diabetes and cancer.
These side-effects are real and impact millions of people worldwide. Yet, very little is said about them.
In fact, most doctors DON’T know about them.
That needs to change… starting today.
Give this episode a good listen, especially if you or a loved one take a statin drug.
And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:22 It’s Not Your Thyroid… It’s This!
When is a Thyroid problem, NOT a Thyroid problem?
That’s a great question. One I answer on this episode.
Specifically, I talk about a patient of mine who saw her Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels spiral out of control.
However, the problem WASN’T with her Thyroid.
Nor was it with her Pituitary gland… the part of the brain that makes TSH.
It was somewhere else.
Somewhere, and something, that had nothing to do with her Thyroid.
In fact, it was something we discovered after looking at some of her OTHER blood tests.
Something that anyone who takes Thyroid medication should be aware of.
Give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:19 The ONLY 3 Things You Need To Know About Cholesterol
EVERYONE knows that Cholesterol is important and that “high levels” can lead to heart disease.
Or, at least that’s what everyone is told.
The truth is this:
The correlation between your Cholesterol levels and your health is not as straightforward as you may think.
For example, you can have “high” levels of cholesterol and still be extremely healthy.
Or, you can have “high” levels of cholesterol… be given a Cholesterol lowering drugs (statin)… and have your health deteriorate!
In either case, YOU should be educated regarding your options.
That is, you should know enough about Cholesterol - and what your personal blood test results reveal - to be able to make an intelligent decision regarding any potential treatments.
On this episode I help you with that.
Specifically, I share 3 important facts about Cholesterol that you really need to know.
Facts that will help you understand YOUR Cholesterol levels AND the options available to you should you need to improve it.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and share it with anyone you know who is health conscious… especially when it comes to their heart.
Thanks!

Episode 25:18 How To Lower Blood Pressure, Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels Naturally
High Blood Pressure.
High Cholesterol.
High Triglycerides.
Each year, these three conditions create billions of dollars in profit for the medical profession and pharmaceutical industry.
BILLIONS.
These three conditions also create for them “customers for life.”
That is, once a person is given a drug for one of these conditions, they are expected to take it for the rest of their life.
No hope for a cure… just a profitable way for the doctor and drug company to help the person “manage” their condition.
If only there was a better way.
A more natural approach to managing, and even CORRECTING, these conditions.
Wouldn’t that be great?
Of course it would!
On this episode, I share my approach for dealing with these conditions naturally.
Specifically, I discuss several whole food supplements that can be used to help a person lower their blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels naturally.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:17 You’re Not Sick… You’re Inflamed. Here’s What To Do About It
Most chronic diseases have one thing in common.
One “root” cause:
Inflammation.
For example, chronic inflammation has been linked to Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disorders, depression, anxiety, headaches, joint pain, IBS, colitis, bronchitis, psoriasis, and eczema.
Reducing the level of inflammation in your body can go a long way towards treating and/or preventing these conditions.
On this episode I share with you how.
Specifically, I reveal a three step program that will do wonders for reducing chronic inflammation in your body… thereby helping you reverse and/or prevent disease.
Included in this program are whole food nutritional supplements that are specifically geared at helping your body tame the flames of inflammation in a natural manner.
Give this episode a good listen especially if you, or anyone you know, suffer with a chronic disease.
And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:16 Natural Remedies For Overcoming Blood Sugar Issues
On last week’s episode I told you that most Americans are heading down a path that leads to one or more of the following diseases:
Alzheimer’s. Blood Pressure. Cancer. Diabetes
I also said there was a way of knowing whether or not you were on such a path.
Specifically, I said there were five blood tests that, when abnormal, put you at an increased risk of developing one or more of those diseases.
Two of those blood tests focus on blood sugar metabolism:
1) A!C
2) Fasting Insulin
These are very important tests.
Why?
Because millions of Americans have levels that are HIGH on one and/or the other.
That’s NOT good as a high A1C level and/or a high Fasting Insulin level is associated with a higher chance of developing the four diseases listed above… and several others as well.
Fortunately, there are natural remedies you can use to lower these levels.
Remedies that include natural, whole food supplements and herbs.
On this week’s episode I share the ones I recommend most.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend... as there’s a good chance that he/she struggles with blood sugar issues.
Thanks!

Episode 25:15 ABCD - Is There A Common Cause Behind Alzheimer’s, Blood Pressure, Cancer and Diabetes?
Most Americans, as they age, will have to deal with one or more of the following “ABCD” conditions:
Alzheimer’s Blood Pressure Cancer Diabetes
Each of these conditions are treated as separate conditions requiring separate specialists:
A Neurologist for Alzheimer’s.
A Cardiologist for Blood Pressure.
An Oncologist for Cancer.
An Endocrinologist for Diabetes
What if this approach is wrong?
That is, what if these conditions have more in common than the medical profession has led us to believe?
What if they are simply “different branches of the same tree?”
And, what if there are a few root causes that are common to each of these conditions?
On this episode I explore these questions.
In addition, I share five simple blood tests that, in my opinion, reveal the root causes behind Alzheimer’s, Blood Pressure, Cancer and Diabetes.
This is an episode you DON’T want to miss.
It’s also one you’ll want to share with your friends.
Thanks!

Episode 25:14 The SECOND Worst Food You Can Put In Your Body
In my opinion, processed sugar is the worst substance you could put into your body because it raises blood sugar levels, triglyceride levels, and cholesterol levels.
It also increases your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer, liver disease… and a host of digestive and hormonal disorders.
My guess, however, is that you already know that.
That is, you probably already know that processed sugar is not good for your body or your overall health.
What you may not know is that there is a SECOND type of food that is almost as harmful to your body as sugar.
A food that God intended to be health-promoting but instead has become health-destroying.
On this week’s episode, I talk about this food and the impact it has on your health.
How the vitamins you are SUPPOSED to be getting from it are involved in EVERY major function of your body:
Your heart beating, your lungs breathing, your stomach digesting, your brain producing neurotransmitters and your glands making hormones.
Again, EVERY major function of your body depends on the vitamins you are SUPPOSED to be getting from this food.
Learn about this food… the health issues it is causing your body… and the NATURAL measures you can take to get your body back on track.
In addition, please be sure to share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:13 How To Use Nutrition To Heal Yourself
Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself.
An ability that needs to be “activated” in order to be effective.
One way to activate the healing power of your body is through nutrition.
On this episode I talk about HOW to do that.
HOW to activate the healing power of your body.
Specifically, I share five nutritional tactics you can employ to help your body heal itself:
1) What to eat… and what not to eat.
2) What to drink… and what not to drink.
3) WHEN to eat and drink.
4) Fasting.
5) Supplements.
Get these five right and your body will be well on its way to healing itself.
In addition, be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 25:12 What To Do When Your Doctor Gives You A “Bad Report”
Imagine receiving a bad report from your doctor.
A report telling you that you have a potentially deadly disease.
What do you do?
How do you incorporate your Faith?
How do you combat fear?
These are all great questions.
Real questions.
Questions people oftentimes don’t get answers for.
Until now.
On this episode I address these questions.
Specifically, I lay out a three step guideline to help you, or a loved one, navigate through a bad report.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend… or anyone you know who has been given a bad report.
Thanks!

Episode 25:11 The Quickest And Easiest Way To Be Healed
Believe it or not, there is a quick and easy way to be healed.
It involves a method that has been around for thousands of years.
However, despite its impressive history this healing method has been pretty much forgotten.
Neglected.
On this episode I share with you this forgotten method.
WHAT it is and HOW to get it to work for you in your life.
However, before you listen I must warn you:
Many people dismiss this method because it’s “too easy.”
DON’T let that be you!
Give this episode a good listen and then prayerfully consider implementing what you learn.
In addition, please share this episode with a friend.

Episode 25:10 Need A Healing? Ask Yourself "WWJD?"
Jesus had an amazing healing ministry.
So amazing that two thousand years later we still talk about it.
People who were blind, deaf and dumb… healed.
A man who was paralyzed. A woman with an issue of blood.
Healed!
On this episode I talk about several of the healings performed by Jesus.
More importantly, I talk about HOW He healed.
The things He would do… and the things He wouldn’t.
Things that are completely opposite of what we do today.
Opposite of how we approach healing.
Makes me wonder “why?”
Why don’t we… especially those of us who are Christians… approach healing in the same manner as Jesus?
Why we don’t we believe the words He told us in John 14:12?
“The things I do, you shall do also, and even greater, if you believe”
Be sure to listen to this episode if you have any interest in the healing ministry of Jesus… or if you need healing for yourself.
And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:9 The REAL Reason Why Jesus Fasted… And You Should Too!
Fasting, especially when done for more than 3 days, is good for your health.
For example, many people with High Blood Pressure and/or Type 2 Diabetes oftentimes experience dramatic improvement and, at times, a complete HEALING after Fasting.
In addition, tumors, skin lesions, joint pains, and brain fog often disappear from a prolonged Fast.
Not to mention improved hormone function, decreased autoimmune symptoms and increased energy levels.
However, these health benefits… amazing as they are… are NOT the reason why Jesus Fasted.
Nor are they the reason why He wants us to Fast.
There’s another reason.
A more powerful reason.
A reason I discuss on this week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen as it will unlock a powerful Biblical principle regarding health and healing.
A principle you’re NOT going to hear anywhere else.
In addition, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:8 A Powerful Healing Tool From The Bible… That Very Few Christians Know About
What if I told you there was an herb that had amazing healing properties.
A popular herb from the Bible that was shown to help people…
-
Lose Weight

Lower Blood Pressure
-
Reverse Type 2 Diabetes
-
Avoid Alzheimer’s
-
Prevent Cancers
-
Improve Skin
-
Decrease Joint Pains

Strengthen Immunity

Instead, it’s a powerful Biblical practice that I talk about in great depth on this episode.
An episode you'll want to give a good listen to... and then share with a friend.

Episode 25:7 “As A Man Thinketh…”
There are many things you can do to be healthy.
Things such as exercising, eating right and getting enough sleep and sunlight.
However, there is one thing that’s even more powerful.
Something that will impact your health more than your diet.
More than your supplements.
More than your exercise routine.
And more than any prescription drug you might be taking.
It’s your thoughts.
Your thoughts are powerful… especially the thoughts you have about yourself, your health, and the role of God in healing.
Get your thoughts right in these areas and you WILL be healed.
You WILL walk in a state of optimal health.
The question is HOW?
HOW do you get your thoughts right?
HOW do you develop a mindset that is aligned with the promises of God?
These are questions I tackle on this week’s episode.
Questions that go deep to the heart of healing.
Questions that will help you obtain the health and healing you seek.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:6 Health And Healing By The Book (Bible)
Why are Christians so sick?
That is, why are people who believe in Jesus just as sick as those who don’t?
And, why don’t we see miraculous healings today… healings similar to the ones Jesus and His disciples performed two thousand years ago?
These are questions I’ve pondered for over forty years.
Questions I believe I have answers to. Answers that need to be shared with other Believers.
On this week's episode I begin a discussion regarding these answers.
Specifically, I share:
A Philosophy… A Principle… and A Promise
EACH based upon the Word of God.
EACH aimed at helping you experience better health and healing.
If you have any interest in learning a Biblical perspective for health and healing, give this episode a good listen.
And, as always please share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:5 What To Do When “Dietary Changes and Supplements” Aren’t Helping You Heal
More and more people are turning to natural approaches to healing.
That’s great!
However, what’s not so great is that most of these individuals are only considering ONE natural approach:
Nutrition.
That is, when most Americans turn to natural medicine, the ONLY “Tool” they consider is nutrition… specifically dietary changes and supplements.
Again, that’s great!
Unfortunately, dietary changes and supplements are NOT always the answer.
Some health issues require additional Tools.
Tools that aren’t related to nutrition.
On this episode I discuss nine other Tools a person should consider when seeking to heal their body naturally.
Nine Tools that, any of which, can be THE answer you need in your healing journey.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:4 Natural Approaches For Healing Your Body of GERD, SIBO and IBS
Millions of Americans deal with digestive disturbances… from gas and bloating to full blown conditions such as GERD, SIBO and IBS.
When seeking help, most of these individuals are told by their doctors to “take” something.
Either something “over the counter” or a prescription drug such as an antibiotic, an antispasmodic, an antacid, or an anti-inflammatory (steroid).
And while these drugs may help a person feel better, they do nothing to correct the CAUSE of the digestive problem.
Nothing to help the person experience healing from their condition.
There has to be a better way.
An approach to digestive disorders that actually helps people heal.
A natural approach that doesn’t destroy the “good” bacteria of one’s gut.
Fortunately, there is.
And on this episode I talk about it.
A natural approach for helping individuals heal their body of digestive disorders such as GERD, SIBO and IBS.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:2 The Two Questions You MUST Ask Your Doctor
In order to get the most out of your visit to a doctor you have to be prepared.
You have to know what you want… what you expect.
Without this preparation, there’s a good chance you’ll leave the doctor’s office confused.
Unhappy that he/she didn’t provide you with the answers you were looking for.
The solutions that you need.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Visits to the doctor CAN be productive.
CAN help you attain the healing you seek.
But, again, you have to be prepared.
You have to know what to ask… and why.
On this episode I share with you what you need to know BEFORE visiting a doctor.
What your mindset should be… and what his/her mindset should be as well!
More importantly, I share the two questions you MUST ask.
Questions that will set you on the path to TRUE healing.
Give this episode a good listen as it will help both you and your doctor.
In addition, please be sure to share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 25:1 How You Can Heal Your Body Naturally … In 2025
If you are suffering with any type of sickness or disease, I want 2025 to be the year that you are completely healed.
I say that because I believe it’s possible.
That is, I believe that God designed your body with an innate ability to heal itself.
Naturally, without drugs or surgery.
The question is “How?”
HOW do you get your body to heal itself?
On this episode I answer that question.
Specifically, I share that the KEY to getting your body to heal itself is simple:
Provide it with an environment that is conducive for healing.
Or, stated another way…
"Given the right environment, your body will heal itself."
This leads to another question:
HOW do you provide your body with the right environment... an environment that is conducive for healing?
Once again, I have you covered by sharing with you, on this episode, TEN “Tools” that will help you create such an environment.
Give this episode a good listen and be sure to pay special attention to the Ten Tools as they are truly the KEY to getting your body to heal itself.
In addition, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:52 Ten Takeaways From 2024… And One (Bold) Prediction For 2025
Happy Holidays!
As another year comes to an end, I thought it would be wise to step back and reflect on some of what we’ve learned these past twelve months.
To accomplish that task, I reviewed every podcast episode from the past year and picked out the ten most popular ones.

Episodes that generated the most questions.
Episodes that listeners thought were the most beneficial.
On this episode I share the highlights of those episodes.
Ten solid pieces of health advice I know you’ll find beneficial.
In addition, I share one bold prediction I have for the new year.
Something you’ll want to be aware of if you desire to optimize your health.
Please give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 24:51 FIVE Questions You Need To Know The Answers To
People have questions… and I have answers!
Over the past few weeks I’ve been asked some really good questions… questions that I feel everyone would benefit from knowing the answers to.
Why?
Because knowing the answers to these questions will not only make you smarter… they’ll make you healthier.
So, what are the five questions?
I thought you’d never ask 😂
1) Is it true that eating the same amount of food… in a shorter period of time (Intermittent Fasting)… will promote weight loss?
2) Is Intermittent Fasting as beneficial as Prolonged (several days) Fasting?
3) What is “The Department Store” analogy?
4) Does a Leaky Gut cause food sensitivities or do food sensitivities cause a Leaky Gut?
5) Can repairing a Leaky Gut really improve a stroke victim’s recovery?
Like I said above, get these answers right and you’ll not only be smarter… you’ll be healthier!
For that reason, be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:50 The Amazing Health Benefits Of Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent Fasting may be the most underutilized and underappreciated “tool” available for anyone looking to improve their health and/or heal from disease.
Why do I say that?
Because Intermittent Fasting has the potential to help you:
1) Lose weight
2) Repair a Leaky Gut
3) Reduce Insulin Resistance
Read that again:
Intermittent Fasting can help you lose weight, repair a Leaky Gut, and reduce insulin resistance.
That’s amazing!
Why?
Because those physiological functions represent the ROOT CAUSES of most chronic diseases.
For that reason alone Intermittent Fasting should be heavily promoted.
Unfortunately, it’s not. Very few people know, or understand, the benefits of Intermittent Fasting.
But that's about to change… starting today!
On this week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast (now available!), I discuss the benefits of Intermittent Fasting with an emphasis placed on the role it plays in repairing a Leaky Gut... and the role a Leaky Gut plays in the development of AutoImmune Disease.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:49 Is It Possible To Lose Weight During The Holidays? (The Answer Is “Yes”)
I do NOT encourage my patients to try to lose weight during the holidays.
Instead, I encourage them to try to avoid GAINING weight by making healthy choices MOST of the time.
However, occasionally I’ll have a patient who insists on trying to lose weight during the holidays.
A patient like Jason who, a few years ago, followed a “no carb” diet from mid-November through December and dropped 25 pounds.
Unfortunately, that’s NOT a diet I can recommend to people… at least not at this time of the year.
However, what I CAN recommend is a strategy I shared with a patient named Cathy.
A strategy that helped her LOSE 10 pounds during the holidays… WITHOUT giving up carbs.
On this week’s episode I talk about the strategy I shared with Cathy.
A strategy YOU can employ during the holidays, or anytime during the year, to help improve your health AND lose weight (if necessary).
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:47 Quit Being So “Needy.” It’s Making You, And Others, Sick
On last week’s episode I talked about the importance of confidence.
How a person with a high level of confidence is more successful… more attractive… and healthier than a person with a low level of confidence.
I also talked about HOW a person could develop more confidence.
Specifically, I said it came down to having a greater understanding of:
1) WHO you are (Identity)
2) WHY you are (Purpose)
On this episode I take the conversation further… especially with regard to knowing WHY you are.
Your Purpose.
I go into great detail about…
1) WHAT Purpose is
2) HOW to discover your Purpose
3) WHY knowing your Purpose will improve your health and eliminate “neediness”
Give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

Episode 24:46 Confidence: The Key To Living A Healthy And Successful Life
Suppose there were two athletes of equal talent.
One seems to always win. The other seems to always fall short.
Why?
Likewise, suppose there are two women… both with beautiful singing voices.
One is always being booked for shows. The other not so much.
Why?
In both cases - the athletes and the singers - the difference between the “winner” and the “loser” is NOT talent.
It’s CONFIDENCE.
Confidence, although invisible is a real force.
A powerful force.
Confidence makes a person more attractive.
More respected.
Confidence also makes a person more likely to be healthy… and successful.
On this episode I talk about HOW you can develop more confidence.
REAL confidence that will serve you well in every area of your life… including your health.
Give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

Do you ever feel more tired than you should?
For example, you’re eating right, exercising regularly and getting eight hours of sleep… yet you’re STILL always tired.
Or, are you dealing with a chronic health condition… allergies, headaches, thyroid issues, obesity, PCOS, infertility, Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure… and NOTHING seems to help?

On this episode I talk about your Mitochondria…

Episode 24:42 The 3 Causes Of All Chronic Diseases
This might be the most important episode I’ve ever recorded.
Why?
Because on this episode I reveal the three causes of ALL chronic diseases.
Why is that important?
Because the cost of treating chronic disease is going to bankrupt a lot of families.
And, eventually, it's going to bankrupt this country as well.
It’s not a matter of “if” but “when.”
I don’t want you to be affected.
I want you to be prepared.
Specifically, I want you to KNOW the three causes of chronic disease.
I also want you to know how to determine which, if any, of these causes is affecting your body.
This episode will teach you that.
Give it a good listen.

Episode 24:41 Five Health Tips You WON’T Hear From Your Doctor
When it comes to natural ways to improve your health most people think about exercising and eating right.
And while exercising and eating right are incredibly important, there are additional activities a person can incorporate into their lifestyle to help improve their health.
Activities their medical doctor most likely WON’T recommend to them… simply because they’re not aware of them.
On this episode I talk about five such activities.
Five activities outside of exercising and eating right that will boost a person’s health.
Want to know what these five activities are?
You’re going to have to listen to the episode.

Episode 24:40 My 7 Favorite Blood Tests And How They Reveal, And Predict, Your Health Status
It’s common, when you go to a doctor, for he/she to order blood tests.
Why?
Because blood tests can help determine what’s going wrong in your body.
That’s a good thing.
What’s not so good is that the results you get are often confusing and hard to understand.
It doesn’t have to be.
On this week’s episode I share with you my favorite blood tests.
Specifically, seven tests that provide an excellent look at what’s going on in your body.
Needless to say, these aren’t the only seven blood tests you may need but they do provide an accurate look at where your health is… and where it’s going.
In fact, I strongly believe that if these seven blood tests are all within the normal range, there’s an excellent chance that your health is close to optimal.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 24:39 How Jason Clarke Dropped His Triglyceride Levels From 2174 To 125 In Five Weeks!
Imagine going to the doctor and finding out that your Cholesterol levels were high.
As were your Triglycerides.
Really high.
In fact, imagine being told that your Triglyceride levels were over 2000… when they should be UNDER 150.
Would you feel panicked?
Of course you would.
As was Jason Clarke.
So panicked that he agreed to do something he didn’t want to…
Take a statin drug.
His doctor convinced him that he HAD TO take it… so he did.
For one night.
One painful night.
You see, the statin drugs caused Jason to experience muscle cramps in his legs.
Bad cramps.
So bad that he decided to quit taking them and instead “do whatever it takes” to lower his Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels naturally.
That’s when he reached out to me.
I designed a program for him that I felt would work.
And it did.
But the reason it worked was because Jason was committed to following it.
So committed that he experienced dramatic decreases in his Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels.
On this week’s episode Jason and I talk about his experience… what he did and how he did it.
It’s a great episode that anyone with a natural approach to health and healing will enjoy.
Give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:38 The SECOND Most Important Question To Ask Your Doctor
The most common question people ask a Holistic Doctor is this:
“What is something natural I can take to treat ______________?”
That’s a great question.
Great because people are tired of taking drugs.
Tired of being given a bunch of chemicals made in a lab.
Instead, they want something better.
Something more natural.
Something that will work WITH their body… not against it.
Something like a vitamin or herb.
However, as great as that is… as great as it is to be asking “what’s something natural I can take?”… there is still a BETTER question.
A more important question.
A question that will improve your chances of healing.
On this episode I address THAT question.
I also provide real answers.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 24:34 How To Be Healed… In 15 Minutes
What if healing is not something you need to “get” but something you ALREADY have?
That is, what if all the healing you need ALREADY exists inside of your body… you just have to learn how to access it.
Wouldn’t you want to know how?
Of course you would!
On this episode I share with you a simple 15 minute routine that will help you tap into the healing power of God.
A healing power that ALREADY exists inside of you.
It’s a simple routine, yet very few people take advantage of it.

Episode 24:33 A Biblical Approach For Eliminating Unhealthy Emotions
Your thoughts affect your health.
My guess is that you already knew that.
However, did you know that your emotions also affect your health?
It’s true.
The emotions that reside in your mind have a direct impact on your health.
On your ability to heal.
Healthy emotions will promote health and healing.
Unhealthy emotions will prevent health and healing.
On this episode I talk about unhealthy emotions and what you can do to eliminate them from your life.
How you can improve your health - and your body’s ability to heal - by strengthening your emotional “muscles.”
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:32 Are Negative Emotions Blocking Your Healing?
In the past few episodes, we’ve talked about three Truths that can help you experience a supernatural healing from God:
They are:
1) Knowing you ARE healed.
2) Having FAITH to “activate” your healing.
3) Eliminating UNBELIEF.
Get these three right and your healing will manifest.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done.
Especially when it comes to eliminating unbelief.
It’s hard.
Really hard.
Why?
Because sometimes WE are our greatest source of unbelief.
Specifically, our EMOTIONS.
Emotions that prevent us from being healed.
Emotions that try to convince us that we’re not worthy of God’s blessings.
On this episode we examine unhealthy emotions and how they can be eliminated from our life.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:31 The ONE Obstacle To Healing
You’re probably familiar with the phrase “faith can move mountains.”
Well, according to Jesus, it can!
“If you have faith, and do not doubt, you shall… say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and cast into the sea; and it shall be done.” (Matthew 21:21)
If this is true… and I believe it is… then why don’t we see more “mountains being moved?”
Why don’t we see more miracles?
More healings?
Is it our lack of faith?
Or, is it something else?
In my opinion, it’s something else.
Something very important that is keeping people from experiencing the healing they desire.
An obstacle.
On this episode I talk about this obstacle.
What it is and how to overcome it.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:30 Want A Miraculous Healing? You Got To Have Faith
The Bible tells us that, by the stripes of Jesus, we WERE healed.
That is, healing isn’t something we need to seek.
Nor is it something we have to ask God for.
It's something that has ALREADY been provided for us… by Jesus.
The question is, “How do we activate this healing?”
“How do we manifest it in our bodies?”
The answer is simple:
Faith!
Faith is the key that unlocks the healing Jesus provided for us.
On this episode I talk about faith.
How to get it AND how to develop it.
Please give the episode a good listen and then share it with your friends.
Thanks!

Episode 24:28 Two Reasons Why You’re Not As Healthy As You’d Like To Be
There’s a reason why you’re not as healthy as you'd like to be.
A reason why you don’t look your best… feel your best… perform your best.
Actually, there’s TWO reasons.
The first reason is simple:
1) You don’t know what it takes to be healthy.
The second reason is a bit more complicated:
2) You DO know what it takes to be healthy… you just refuse to do it.
On this episode I address both of these reasons.
Specifically, I share with you ten things you can do to be healthy AND…
I explain exactly what’s preventing you from doing them.
Give this episode a good listen - and implement what you learn - and your health will almost certainly improve!
And, as always, be sure to share it with a friend.

Episode 24:27 Two Simple Principles You Really Need To Know
Happy 4th of July!
Despite our problems, the United States of America is still the greatest country in the world and it’s an honor and privilege to live in a place where we enjoy so many freedoms.
For example, freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
Freedom to believe and say what we want.
Unfortunately, these freedoms are being challenged more and more each day.
Not directly, but indirectly.
That is, we’re still free to believe and say as we want… but now, more than ever, we’re being pressured and persuaded when it comes to WHAT we believe and WHAT we say.
Pressured and persuaded to “follow the narrative.”
To make matters worse, we don’t even realize it.
We don’t realize that the media no longer "reports the News."
Instead, they simply tell us the story THEY want us to hear.
The story the “powers that be” want pushed forward.
That’s not good!
Why?
Because what THEY want us to hear is not always in OUR best interest.
Not always something that will benefit us… even if we’re told it is.
On this episode, I teach you how to see through the lies and manipulations of the mainstream media.
HOW to recognize when they are presenting you a narrative and not real news.
It’s an important skill that may save you from harm.
I also share a mindset tip that, if adopted, will help you live a happier and healthier life.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:25 Confused About Which Supplements To Take? Listen To This Episode!
When it comes to taking care of one’s health, there seems to be two types of people:
1) Those who don’t take any nutritional supplements.
2) Those who take too many nutritional supplements.
Neither extreme is optimal.
For example, those who don’t take any supplements are most likely missing out on some vital nutrients… while those who take a bunch of supplements are probably doing their body some harm.
In both cases individuals are confused with regard to which supplements they should take.
That is, some people get so confused when it comes to supplements that they simply give up and take nothing.
Others find themselves buying everything they ever see advertised or promoted.
On this episode I clear up the confusion.
I do that by sharing with you a common sense way of knowing which supplements you should take and why.
I also tell you which ones you shouldn’t take and why.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:24 The Amazing Benefits Of God’s Favorite Vitamin
Of all the vitamins, there is only ONE that your body doesn’t have to get from food:
Vitamin D.
It’s true… your body can make Vitamin D simply from you spending time outside while the sun is shining.
That’s a huge blessing for two reasons:
1) Vitamin D is involved in many body functions.
2) Sun exposure is free!
Unfortunately, a large segment of the medical profession is trying to persuade you to AVOID the sun.
Don’t listen to them!
Avoiding the sun and/or using sunscreen products to block its rays can be detrimental to your health.
On this episode I explain why.
Specifically, I explain the health benefits associated with sun exposure… benefits that will be lost if you avoid the sun or use sunscreen products.
In addition, I address concerns you may have regarding sun exposure and skin cancer.
Legitimate concerns for which I provide legitimate answers.
Give this episode a good listen and be sure to share it with a friend.

Episode 24:23 Sunshine vs Sunscreen - Which Is More Harmful?
During this time of the year, most medical doctors will tell you to put on sunscreen whenever you go outside.
Even better… they’ll tell you to do your best to avoid the sun.
Why?
Because, in their opinion, sun exposure can cause skin cancer.
But is that true?
Can sun exposure cause skin cancer?
It might.
However, there is more to the story.
More to learn about sun exposure… and sunscreen.
You see, using sunscreen and avoiding the sun can be very harmful to your health.
More harmful than sun exposure?
THAT’S a great question!
It’s also one I explore on this week’s episode.
Give this a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 24:22 The Reason Why You Should Change Your Eating And Sleeping Habits
As you already know, summer is much different than winter.
Specifically, the days are longer.
In fact, here in Alabama we are currently getting four more hours of sunlight each day than we will six months from now.
In northern states like New York the difference is even more significant… currently 6 more hours of sunlight than in six months!
These longer days of summer should give rise to different health habits.
Habits that take advantage of the longer days.
For example, what you eat and how long you sleep should be different in the summer than in the winter.
On this week’s episode I talk about how to adjust your eating and sleeping habits this summer in a way that will optimize your health.
I also explain how living “with” nature, no matter the season, is always a smart move.
Give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

Episode 24:20 How To Look Great At The Beach
Everyone wants to look great at the beach.
There’s nothing wrong with that.
The problem is that most people DON’T look good at the beach.
Or, stated another way, most people don’t like how they look in a pair of shorts or a bathing suit.
They want to look better.
They want a “beach body.”
They just don’t know HOW to get one.
Don’t know what they need to do to look and feel better.
On this episode I provide the answer.
Specifically, I share three strategies… two of which you already know… that anyone can employ to improve their looks.

Episode 24:19 Medical Doctor vs Holistic Doctor? The 3 Differences You Really Need To Know
We live in a country where our health care system is dominated by the medical model.
That’s not good.
Why?
Because this reliance on the medical model has led to:
1) Sky rocketing health care costs.
2) Ever increasing levels of chronic disease.
3) Epidemic rates of childhood illnesses.
4) Declining life expectancy.
Something has to change.
Interestingly, that change is NOT “a different approach.”
It’s “an ADDITIONAL approach.”
That is, we need more than just one approach to health care.
More than just a reliance on drugs and surgery.
We need access to a Holistic approach.
A natural approach that can be offered to people along side a traditional medical approach.
On this episode I explain the differences between a medical approach and a holistic approach including which health conditions respond best for each.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen as you won’t hear this important information anywhere else.
And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

People often ask me if nutritional supplements can help their body heal.

Supplements I have been using with patients, with great success, for over 35 years.

Episode 24:16 The Healthiest Way To Start Your Day
One of the best ways to assess a person’s health is by asking them to describe the first hour of their day.
For some people, that first hour is jam packed with activity… stressful activity.
It starts with an alarm clock and then morphs into a flurry of events culminating with some unhealthy food item being jammed into their mouth as they race out the door.
For other people, that first hour is a relaxing, yet productive, time filled with health-promoting activities.
Activities that properly prepare their body and mind for the day ahead.
On this episode we take a look at those activities.
Healthy activities designed to strengthen you… not stress you out.
Activities that can make a tremendous difference in your day AND in your life.
Give this episode a good listen and share it with a friend.

Episode 24:15 The Amazing Healing Power Of Grounding (Earthing)
Fasting is one way to reduce inflammation and help your body heal.
Improving your mindset through prayer and/or meditation is another.
Both require effort.
Effort you may not be excited about making… or you may not feel well enough to make.
Fortunately there’s another way.
A natural way to reduce inflammation and help your body heal.
A “remedy” that is safe, effective, and requires NO effort.
It’s called Grounding.
Also known as Earthing, Grounding involves being outside with your bare feet on the ground.
This direct connection to the earth is “Nature’s Anti-Inflammatory.”

A topic that couldn’t be easier, less expensive, or more helpful.

Episode 24:14 The Mind-Body Connection
Your health… what goes on in your BODY… is not just a reflection of what you have been doing.
It’s also a reflection of what you have been THINKING.
In fact, what you have been “thinking” has more of an impact on your health than what you have been “doing.”
It’s true.
It’s important, therefore, to make sure your mindset is healthy.
That you think health-promoting thoughts.
On last week’s episode we talked about one way to improve your mindset.
On this episode we share two more.
Two truths that will improve your mindset AND your health.

Episode 24:9 How To Reduce Inflammation Naturally
In last week’s episode (Episode 24-8) I shared with you the number ONE cause of most chronic health problems…
Inflammation.
Unfortunately, very few medical doctors understand the connection between inflammation and disease.
As a result, they tend to “treat” chronic health problems with drugs.
Drugs that only manage a person’s symptoms.
Drugs that have negative side-effects.
Drugs that don’t address the underlying cause.
On this episode I share what a person can do, naturally, to reduce inflammation.
Specifically I discuss drug-free nutritional strategies that are simple, inexpensive, and “anti-inflammatory” in nature.
Strategies that get to the root cause of most health problems.
Give this episode a good listen as the information may have a dramatic impact on your health.
A positive impact.
Then be sure to share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:8 The ONE Cause Of Most Health Problems
A man goes to the doctor complaining that he feels lousy.
Specifically, he’s been experiencing a lot of brain fog, fatigue, stomach problems and insomnia.
His doctor runs some tests and tells the man that he has Type 2 Diabetes and needs to start taking a drug.
The man complies.
A few months later the man returns to the doctor because he is still feeling lousy.
The doctor refers him to a Cardiologist because both his blood pressure and cholesterol levels are now high.
The Cardiologist prescribes one drug for the high blood pressure and another for the high cholesterol.
Unfortunately, another few months go by and the man still doesn’t feel better.
In fact, he’s feeling worse.
His back and left leg hurt, his insomnia is worse, depression is sinking in, and he’s experiencing erectile dysfunction.
The doctor responds by suggesting more drugs.
This time the man doesn’t comply.
He’s sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Sick and tired of being prescribed one drug after another.
He wants answers.
Specifically, he wants AN answer.
An explanation regarding the underlying CAUSE of his many ailments.
A common denominator.
On this episode we give him his answer.
We tell him the ONE cause that's behind most, if not all, of his health problems.
A cause that everyone should be made aware of.
A cause we discuss in depth on this episode.
Please give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 24:6 The Key To Successful Prayer: Understanding The Difference Between Your Spirit, Your Soul, And Your Body
The past two episodes of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast focused on how to use prayer AS a treatment.
Emphasis was placed on shifting your focus AWAY from your ailment and towards the perfection of God.
A perfection that resides within you!
Several listeners have already taken what they learned and incorporated it into their prayer life with great success.
Others have been hung up on questions.
Questions such as…
1) “How can any part of me be perfect when I know I sin?
2) “How can prayer heal me of something like Type 2 Diabetes if I don’t change my lifestyle?”
These are great questions.
Questions that can be answered once a person has a better understanding of the difference between their Spirit, their Soul, and their Body.
On this episode we explain these differences and how understanding them can improve your ability to use prayer as a treatment.
Give this episode a good listen as it will take your prayer life to a new level.
And, as always, be sure to share this with a friend.
Thanks!

On last week’s episode we talked about how to use prayer AS a treatment.
The topic created quite a stir as people aren’t used to using prayer AS a treatment.
Instead, they are only accustomed to using pray FOR another form of treatment.
For example, people are only familiar with praying…
1) For God to heal them.
2) For God to give the doctor wisdom.
3) For a specific treatment to work.
Certainly praying for any of those things is good but using prayer AS a treatment is, in our opinion, even better.
And on last week’s episode we taught you how… how to use prayer AS a treatment.
On THIS week’s episode we discuss some of the feedback we received from last week’s episode including some compliments AND some complaints.
We also share a specific example of HOW to use prayer as a treatment... along with a very interesting explanation of why - believe it or not - it may not be a good idea to ask God to heal you.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 24:4 Need A Healing? Here’s The BEST Way To Pray
When it comes to healing, most people believe in the power of prayer.
And, when we pray, we typically pray for three things:
1) For God to heal the person.
2) God to give the doctor wisdom.
3) For a specific treatment to work.
Praying like this is certainly good.
Unfortunately, it’s not Biblical!
That is, nowhere in the Bible do we ever see anyone praying…
1) For God to heal a person.
2) For God to give a doctor wisdom.
3) For a specific treatment to work.
So why do we do it?
Why do we pray for healing to occur through a person or a remedy?
We shouldn’t!
Here’s what we SHOULD do:
We should use prayer AS a treatment.
This, of course, is going to baffle some people.
After all, how could prayer be used AS a treatment?
That’s a great question… one we answer on this episode.
Be sure to give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

A roadmap that would help your body heal from chronic disease and get you off of prescriptive drugs.

Now, imagine that this same roadmap, if followed, would also PREVENT you from getting sick.
Would your interest be even greater?
Once again… of course it would.

A roadmap that, if followed, will help you optimize your health.

Episode 24:1 How To Detox The Right Way: Part One
What better way to start the new year than with a “detox?”
While that certainly is a good idea, most people make a BIG mistake when it comes to detoxification programs.
Specifically, most people limit their “detox” to the use of nutritional aids to cleanse their physical body,
And, while that’s helpful, it’s not enough.
You see, your health is determined by more than just your nutritional status.
Other factors such as your thoughts, your beliefs and your mindset also have a huge impact.
A healthy impact... or a toxic one.
It’s true.
Your thoughts and beliefs can be TOXIC… and they can have a negative impact on your health.
On this episode we teach you three principles that will help you detoxify your thoughts, beliefs and mindsets.
These three principles are incredibly simple, yet powerful... and can dramatically improve your life.
Please give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 23:51 Viruses and Bacteria: What You Need To Know And WHY You Need To Know It
What’s the difference between viruses and bacteria?
There are several answers.
One is that bacteria are “living” organisms.
Viruses are not.
Another difference is that bacteria reproduce… viruses do not.
They replicate.
And because viruses replicate, they need a “host”… an entity they can attach to and use as a “copy machine.”
Interestingly…
WE are that copy machine!
WE are the “host” tha viruses use to replicate themselves.
On this episode we talk about these and other differences between viruses and bacteria.
Specifically, we discuss what these differences mean when it comes to your health and...
What they mean when it comes to preventing and treating infections.
The information we share is both fascinating and informative.

Episode 23:50 The Forgotten Factor Of Health
Ask anyone what it takes to be healthy and you’ll probably hear the following response:
Exercise and eat right!
That’s certainly a good answer, but it’s incomplete.
Incomplete because there is MORE to being healthy than just diet and exercise.
Specifically, there are Mental and Emotional factors that play a huge role in determining one’s level of health.
On this episode we share four real-life stories from the previous two weeks… stories that provide insight into the role of mental and emotional factors on health.
Factors that have nothing to do with exercising and eating right.
Give this episode a good listen as it may provide the piece that’s been missing in your health quest.

Symptoms are messages from your body that something is wrong.

Episode 23:44 Seven Messages Your Body Is Constantly Sending You Regarding Your Health
We live in a hi-tech world.
A world filled with gadgets and gizmos… all created to make life easier and better.
This is especially true with regard to health care.
Technological advances have given us diagnostic and treatment tools that were only dreamed about in the past.
However, despite all of the “new and improved” tools doctors have at their disposal the truth is that most people’s health is getting worse, not better.
For this reason, perhaps it’s time that we, as a nation, made a change… a change that involves going back to some basic fundamentals.
Specifically, when it comes to our health, we should start relying more on the messages our bodies are telling us than on the feedback we get from expensive, hi-tech machines.
In this episode we discuss seven "old school" messages our bodies are constantly telling us.
-
Messages about our heath.
-
Messages that are extremely inexpensive and easy to understand.
-
Messages that warn us when something is wrong.
Get each of these messages “right” and you will almost certainly be healthy.
Get any of these messages “wrong” and your health will be heading towards a downwards spiral.
It’s that simple.
Give this episode a good listen and LEARN THE SEVEN MESSAGES as they will give you a tremendous insight into your current, and future, health status.
And, as always, be sure to recommend this episode to a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:43 The Interesting Role Vitamin D Plays In Low Testosterone Levels, Infertility, Osteoporosis, Restless Leg Syndrome, Itchy Skin, Hives, And Canker Sores
On the last episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we talked about the role sunshine and Vitamin D play in helping you look better, feel better, lower your cholesterol levels and boost your immunity.
On this episode we take that conversation a step further.
Specifically we discuss how increasing Vitamin D levels can improve fertility in women… and testosterone levels in men.
We also share how Vitamin D works with other vitamins and minerals… most notably Vitamin F (yes, there IS a vitamin F, it’s just not recognized by the FDA) and Calcium.
We then explain how imbalances among Vitamin D, Vitamin F and Calcium can result in conditions such as osteoporosis, “leathery” skin, extreme itching, hives, welts, canker sores, and restless legs.
The physiology behind the interplay of these nutrients is fascinating and we do our best to explain it to you.
Give this episode a good listen as it will help you know what to do to prevent and/or treat any of these conditions.
And, as always, please recommend this episode to a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:41 Natural Alternatives For The 10 Most Prescribed Drugs: Part 2
The following are the ten most prescribed drugs in the United States:
Lipitor
Lisinopril
Albuterol
Synthroid
Norvasc
Gabapentin
Prilosec
Metformin
Amoxicillin
Prednisone
While the use of prescription drugs certainly has its place, NONE of the drugs listed above do anything to correct the underlying CAUSE.
Not only that, ALL of these drugs have side-effects… some quite dangerous.
There HAS TO be a better way.
Fortunately, there IS.
A safer, more natural alternative to drugs.
On the last episode we discussed natural alternatives to three of the drugs on the list (Lipitor, Lisinopril and Norvasc).
On this episode we address natural alternatives for the remaining seven.
Please give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:40 Natural Alternatives For The 10 Most Prescribed Drugs
There are 330 million people living in the United States.
That’s a lot.
However, that number (330,000,000) pales in comparison to the number of prescription drugs filled each year in the United States.
It’s 4.83 Billion.
Yes, that’s Billion with a B.
4,830,000,000
4.83 Billion prescriptions filled for 330 million people.
Do the math and you’ll see that translates to over 14 prescriptions filled each year for EVERY person in the United States… including children, teens, and young adults.
That’s NOT good!
Interestingly, most people, when given a choice, would rather not take a drug.
They’d rather deal with their health issues in a natural manner.
On this episode we share HOW to do just that.
Specifically, we look at the 10 most widely prescribed drugs in the US and then offer natural alternatives.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:39 Two Powerful Influences On Your Health: Morning Sun and WHEN You Eat
Did you know that your body has an internal “clock” that helps it control all of its functions?
Actually, that’s not true.
Your body doesn’t have ONE internal “clock” that helps it control all of its functions…
It has two!
Hormone production, neurotransmitter production, insulin production, digestive enzyme production, muscle strength, hair growth, skin rejuvenation, and sex drive… ALL are controlled, in part, by your body’s TWO internal “clocks.”
Get these clocks working right and your health will improve.
Get these clocks out of sync and your health will deteriorate.
It’s that simple.
On this episode we discuss each of these clocks and the role they play in keeping your body functionally optimally.
We also discuss the factors that keep these clocks "on time."
Specifically, we discuss the very important and powerful impact of...
1) Early morning sunlight.
2) WHEN you eat.
This a fascinating episode filled with great information on how to live in harmony with God's design for your body.
Give it a good listen and then please share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:38 Considering A Booster Jab For Your Child? PLEASE Listen To This First
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently recommended that everyone get the new Covid Booster vaccine.
This includes infants, children, and adolescents.
WHY???
Needless to say, the topic of vaccines is controversial, but WHY would a booster be recommended for anyone under the age of 21?
Will it prevent death?
NO!!!
Will it prevent a young person from getting Covid?
NO!!!
Will it prevent a young person from spreading Covid?
NO!!!
Truth be told, according to the CDC’s own data, one million doses of the vaccine administered to youngsters “may” prevent ONE life.
The key word there is “may.”
The booster “may” prevent one death.
However, the real TRUTH is that there is no data showing that any of the Covid vaccines have prevented ANY deaths in infants, children, and adolescents.
Not only that… the CDC’s own data admits that, given the same one million doses, there will probably be 100,000 - 300,000 negative side-effects including 50-300 cases of myocarditis.
Side-effects from a jab that is supposed to be safe and effective?
Yes!
And, one of those side-effects for a young person IS myocarditis.
But that’s not all.
Several countries including Japan, Germany, Britain and Australia are NOT recommending the booster jab for those under the age of 65.
Why?
What do they know that our CDC and FDA doesn’t?
Or, what is it that the CDC and FDA knows but isn’t telling us?
Are they more interested in following an agenda than they are the science?
On this week’s episode we take a deeper look into all things related to the booster vaccine.
Be sure to give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:37 Genetics And Your Health - Everything You Need To Know
Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Parkinson’s, alcoholism, eczema and psoriasis.
You probably know that your genes play a role in these and virtually every other chronic disease.
However, you may not know what that role is.
On this episode we identify that role.
Specifically, we explain why having a gene for a disease does NOT mean that you’ll get that disease.
We then share WHY that is... and WHAT the real determining factor is.
Give this episode a good listen as understanding the connection between your genes and your health is vitally important… and grossly misunderstood.
In addition, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:36 California Here I Come - Catching Up With Brandan Burroughs
Earlier this year, on Episode 23-17, we had Brandan Burroughs on the podcast.
He had just moved back to Alabama after becoming very sick while living in California.
Turns out he had Type 1 Diabetes and on that episode he shared with us his opinion on WHY he developed diabetes and HOW he was coping with it.
It was a really good episode.
Now, five months later, we have Brandan on again for another episode.
The reason is simple:
When he first moved back to Alabama he assumed it would take three years before he felt good enough to return to California.
He was wrong.
The truth is, in the past few months he has done so well managing his diabetes that he has accepted a job and is moving back to San Diego... this week!
However, before he goes, he agreed to share with us some insights on what he has done to manage his Type 1 Diabetes so successfully.
His story is inspiring and the information he shares provides an excellent resource for anyone looking to control their blood sugar… or simply improve their health.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

-
Some were thought provoking, such as “What have been some of your most interesting cases?”
-
Some were even entertaining, such as “Who are some of the famous people you have treated?”

(His answer will help ANYONE in any given field.)

Episode 23:33 More People Are Dying Young. Why???
Last week a 16 year old girl (Callie Marie Mitchell) from Texas died after suffering cardiac arrest at cheerleading camp.
The very next day a 17 year old High School basketball star from Alabama (Caleb White) also died from cardiac arrest while playing basketball.
Hearts suddenly stopping for no apparent reason… in HEALTHY teenagers.
Huh???
Unfortunately, these are NOT isolated cases.
For example, just a few weeks ago Lebron James’ 19 year old son Bronny also suffered cardiac arrest while playing basketball at his college (University of Southern California).
But that’s not all.
According to the research group Our World in Data more Americans died than expected in the past year (May 1, 2022 - April 30, 2023).
Specifically, more than 104,000 deaths occurred than expected.
Deaths that were NOT RELATED to Covid-19.
Similar research from Life Insurance companies and actuary groups confirm the unexpected increase in deaths, post Covid-19… especially in ages 18 - 64.
The big question now becomes “WHY?”
WHY are more people dying… and why are they dying at younger ages?
No one in a position of authority seems to know the answer.
Heck, no one in a position of authority wants to even ask the question.
No government officials.
No health authorities.
No members of the main stream media.
No medical doctors or medical associations.
On this episode WE not only address this question… we provide answers.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:32 The Most Amazing Supplement Ever (Endorsed By Jesus!)
Imagine if there was an all-natural supplement that helped people...
-
Lose weight
-
Reduce High Blood Pressure
-
Lower Cholesterol
-
Lower Blood Sugar
Do you think people would want this supplement?
Of course they would!
But, what if that wasn’t all this supplement did.
What if this supplement also helped improve or cure chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, IBS, asthma, psoriasis, eczema, Hashimoto’s disease, and some forms of schizophrenia.
Wouldn’t EVERYONE be interested in it?
Once again… of course they would!
Well, believe it or not, a supplement like this DOES exist.
And, it’s a supplement that was actually used and endorsed by Jesus!
However, there’s a little “twist” to this supplement story.
A twist you can hear all about on this week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Four weeks ago (Episode 23-27) Anedra Brown was a guest on the Get Healthy Alabama podcast.
On that episode she shared with us her story…
How, three years ago, she began a journey that saw her regain her health and lose close to 200 pounds.
But her story didn’t end there.
After her success Anedra found herself slipping and gaining back some of the weight she had lost.
This served as a wake-up call to Anedra as she didn’t want to return to the place from which she had come.
She didn’t want to return to hurting throughout her body.
She didn’t want to return to experiencing brain fog.
She didn’t want to return to needing prescriptive drugs to get through the day.
So she vowed to “get back on track.”
And, to kick things off, she decided to do a 21-Day “water only” fast.
A fast she completed just days ago.
A fast that provided her with several health benefits… including losing 40 pounds!

Episode 23:27 - Back On Track - An Interview With Anedra Brown
Believe it or not, for most individuals the key to losing weight is to NOT try.
Sounds crazy, right?
It isn’t.
In fact, it makes a lot of sense… once you understand the secret.
The secret followed by this week's special guest, Anedra Brown.
You see, Anedra never set out to lose weight.
Instead, she simply wanted to “Get Healthy.”
To do whatever she needed to do to get rid of the pain and stiffness that caused her to hurt all over… leaving her a prisoner in her own body, unable to enjoy even the simplest activities of life.
This desire to “Get Healthy” led her to make changes in her lifestyle.
Physical changes.
Nutritional changes.
Emotional changes.
Changes that helped her “Get Healthy.”
And, therein lies the secret.
Remember, Anedra never set out to lose weight.
Instead, her goal was to “Get Healthy” so her pain would disappear.
She did… and her pain disappeared.
In addition, as a “side-effect”, she dropped nearly 200 pounds.
Yes, 200 pounds!!!
NOT by trying to lose weight… but by trying to “Get Healthy.”
We’ve had Anedra on before as a guest (Episodes 21-1, 21-25, 22-16 and 22-17) and, on those episodes, she did a wonderful job of sharing with us exactly what she did on her health journey.
(If you haven’t already, be sure to listen to those episodes. They’re awesome!)
On THIS episode, however, we have her on for another reason.
A reason most of us can relate to:
You see, Anedra’s health journey got a little off track this past year.
After moving to Mississippi in December of 2021 (she mistakenly says December 2022 on the episode) Anedra found it challenging to “stick to the program.”
As a result, she gained back some of the weight she had lost.
She discusses her setbacks on this episode… AND shares what she is doing to get back on track.
Give this episode a good listen as it is incredibly relatable and inspiring.

Episode 23:26 - The Strange Connection Between The Medical Profession And The Catholic Church
For centuries the Catholic Church has done a wonderful job at getting people to blindly trust and obey their dictates.
How?
How does the Catholic Church get millions of people to do whatever they say… no questions asked?
It’s actually quite easy.
It’s also brilliant.
On this episode we discuss the exact strategy the Catholic Church utilizes to get people to do whatever they are told.
To trust, obey… and never ask questions.
We also discuss how the medical profession saw how effective this strategy was and decided to copy it.
And copy it they did.
To perfection.
To the point where people do whatever their medical doctor tells them to do… no questions asked.
Give this episode a good listen as it’s a fascinating discussion on how an organization can become very powerful, very persuasive... and very corrupt.
Then share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:25 - Why COVID Failed: Five Lessons Intelligent Individuals Learned From The Pandemic
Americans are more skeptical today of health care policies set forth by government officials than ever before.
Americans are also more skeptical of vaccines than ever before… vaccines that generate BILLIONS of taxpayers dollars for pharmaceutical companies.
Why?
It all has to do with the Covid-19 pandemic and the unprecedented amount of pressure the government and big businesses placed on the American people.
Pressure that was not only unconstitutional… it was unwarranted.
On this episode we discuss the origins of this pressure along with HOW and WHY the Covid Experiment failed.
We also discuss five very important lessons that intelligent individuals learned from the pandemic.
Five lessons you really need to know about.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 23:23 - For Men Only: Happy Father’s Day! Now Get Up And Be A Leader!
You’re probably familiar with the following statistics:
1) Most Americans are deficient in Vitamin D.
2) Most Americans are deficient in Magnesium.
3) Most Americans are deficient when it comes to getting enough exercise.
What you’re probably NOT familiar with is that, despite the negative impact these three deficiencies have on the health of our nation, they pale in comparison to the impact of another deficiency.
A deficiency that has nothing to do with a vitamin, a mineral or exercise.
It this:
A deficiency of leadership among men.
It’s true.
There is a lack of leadership among men in this country and it’s significantly affecting our health.
Not just the health of men but of women and children.
On this episode we explore what has gone on in this country over the past few decades and how it has created a society of men who don’t know how to lead.
Men who don’t know how to set priorities and lead by example.
And it’s affecting all of us.
Fortunately, this lack of leadership among men can change… and it starts by simply knowing what to do, and what not to do.
For that reason, give this Father’s Day episode a good listen.
Then be sure to IMPLEMENT some of what you learn.
Society NEEDS you to be the man God designed you to be.
In addition, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:23 - The Only 3 Supplements Your Body Really Needs
Walk through any health food store, or search online for “natural cures,” and you’ll soon discover that there a ton of nutritional products on the market.
Some good, some not so good.
However, of all the nutritional products available only three are truly “supplements” that your body needs.
Yes, only three.
Certainly, a statement like that is going to be met with opposition… especially by those who take far more than three nutritional products each day.
If you’re one of those individuals, please understand this:
When we say “supplement” we are talking about a nutritional product that is designed to SUPPLEMENT your diet.
We are NOT talking about nutritional products you might use to “treat” conditions.
There are plenty of those.
However, by definition, we consider those products to be “natural medicines”… NOT supplements.
That is, a true “supplement” is NOT a treatment.
Instead, it is a nutritional product loaded with key nutrients that is taken by a person in an attempt to SUPPLEMENT their diet.
With this in mind, it is our opinion that most people only need three supplements.
Listen to this episode to learn what these three essential supplements are and how they can help you optimize your health.
Then please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:22 - Tips For Making 2023 Your Best Summer Ever
We want to help you have your best summer ever.
How?
By showing you the benefit of living WITH nature, not in opposition to it.
Unfortunately, living WITH nature is easier said than done.
I say this because most of us have allowed society to dictate our behaviors… behaviors that go against nature and are NOT good for our health.
For example…
When we go to bed, and when we wake up, should be dictated by the sun.
Yet most of us tend to go to bed, and wake up, later then nature would want.
Why?
Because we've been conditioned to.
We've been conditioned to stay up far too late at night and, during that time, we've been conditioned to expose ourselves to far too much electricity and artificial light.
Then we compound the problem by sleeping in past sunrise... ignorant to the fact that getting up, and going outside, as the sun rises carries with it some amazing health benefits!
Another area in which we don't live with nature is with our diets.
Specifically, we eat foods that are not part of God’s natural design.
Processed foods that aren't good for us… filled with sugar and chemicals.
We should know better.
We should do better.
These two areas alone - our relationship with the sun and with food - play a huge role in our health.
In fact, almost EVERY chronic disease is connected, in some way, to our inability to live WITH nature in these two areas.
Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Obesity… the list goes on and on.
But that can change.
We can make up our minds to live WITH nature this summer.
To use the 99 days of summer to cultivate some incredible, healthy habits.
Here’s a few suggestions to get you started:
-
Watch the sunset.
-
Don’t eat after 7 P.M.
-
Keep your home dark after 8 P.M.
-
Go to bed by 10 P.M.
-
Wake up with the sunrise
-
Practice “Earthing” daily.
-
Eat from the colors of the rainbow daily.
-
Eat some fruit every day.
-
Eat vegetables every day.
-
Cut out sugar, wheat, and gluten.
-
Commit to taking whole food nutritional supplements.
.- Pray daily.
-
Journal daily.
-
Write one letter each week.
-
Read one book a week.
-
Get a suntan (prepare for next winter).
-
Go to the beach, the mountains, or hiking trails.
-
Have fun. Smile. Enjoy life.
-
Spend time with family and friends.
Here's the bottom line:
The key to having a great, and healthy, summer is to live WITH nature, not in opposition to it.
You can get started by using the information you learn on this week’s episode.

Episode 23:21 This Is Not Only S.A.D…. It’s Destroying Our Health
You know what’s sad?
The Standard American Diet… or S.A.D. for short.
It’s true.
The food intake of the average American is sad:
Too much sugar… too much processed chemicals… too much harmful beverages.
Not enough vitamins… not enough minerals… not enough “good fat.”
It’s incredibly unhealthy.
It’s also a sure-fire way to set a person up for a lifetime of chronic illness.
Certainly you don’t want that.
But what can you do?
On this episode we take a look at the problems with the “Standard American Diet” (S.A.D.).
We also take a look at the inspiring story of a man who turned down millions of dollars in order to stay true to his belief that a healthy diet is far more important than money.
Give this episode a good listen and then please share it with a friend.

Episode 23:20 Want To REALLY Get Healthy? Adopt A Vitalistic Approach To Health
Everyone wants to be healthier.
The problem is most people don’t know HOW.
That is, most people don’t know what they need to do in order to live a more vibrant and healthier life.
Part of the problem is that we live in a society where the health care system follows a “mechanistic” approach… an approach that looks at the human body as a “machine” made up of “parts.”
If something goes wrong with one of the “parts” you are told to visit a medical specialist who will treat it.
While this “mechanistic” approach certainly has some value, it falls far short when it comes to helping people overcome chronic health conditions such as headaches, neck and back pain, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, skin diseases and hormonal imbalances.
Those conditions - conditions that account for the overwhelming majority of doctor visits - are better served by a “Vitalistic” approach to health.
What’s a Vitalistic approach to health?
It’s an approach that looks at the body as MORE than just the sum of its parts.
That is, instead of viewing the various organs, glands and systems of the body as isolated parts, a Vitalistic approach views them all as being part of a team.
A symphony.
Unlike a Mechanistic approach, a Vitalistic approach to health believes that what happens to one organ, gland or system will also have an affect on other organs, glands and systems throughout the body.
In addition, a Vitalistic approach to health believes that there is a life-force to the human body… a form of energy that WANTS to help us heal and be healthy.
On this episode we talk about this Vitalistic approach to health and how adopting it for yourself can help you get to the ROOT cause of your health issues.
Please give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Have you ever found yourself “stuck” while in pursuit of your health goals?
If so, you’re not alone.
Millions of Americans WANT to improve their health but don’t know how.
And the reason they don’t know how is because they’ve never been taught.

It's that simple.
On this episode we discuss the second part of the formula… the vehicle.

Episode 23:18 The ONE Thing That’s Keeping You From Getting Healthy
Everyone wants to be healthy.
Everyone wants to look their best, feel their best, and perform their best.
Unfortunately, not everyone reaches their health goals.
In fact, most people don’t even come close.
Why?
Why do people struggle so much when it comes to improving their health?
Believe it or not, it’s NOT because they don’t know what to do to get healthier.
Nor is it because they lack the “tools” needed to improve their health.
Instead, the number one reason why people don’t reach their health goals is because they are lacking this ONE thing.
What ONE thing?
On this episode we reveal what this ONE thing is… the obstacle that is keeping you from reaching your health goals.

Episode 23:13 The Hidden Cause Of Diabetes
Millions of Americans have Type 2 Diabetes.
35 million Americans to be (somewhat) exact.
Another 96 million Americans are heading towards Type 2 Diabetes.
They have a condition known as “Prediabetes.”
The cost of Type 2 Diabetes on our country is staggering with $1 out of every $4 in US health care costs being spent on caring for people with diabetes.
That comes out to over $237 billion each year.
On top of that, another $90 billion is spent on reduced productivity.
That’s a lot of money!
A lot of money being spent on a condition that is lifestyle related… AND reversible.
Reversible?
Yes, Type 2 Diabetes is reversible.
However, before Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed (or prevented) the CAUSE must be identified.
Certainly diet plays an important role… as does a lack of exercise.
But what else?
Are there any other factors that play significant roles in the development of Type 2 Diabetes?
The answer is a resounding “Yes!”
On this episode we look at one of these factors.
A factor that does NOT get talked about enough.
A factor that, although often hidden, may very well be THE primary cause of Type 2 Diabetes for many individuals.
A factor that should no longer go unnoticed.
Give this episode a good listen as we talk about this factor… this hidden cause of Type 2 Diabetes.
Then please share this episode with a friend.

Episode 23:12 Why You Should Stop Taking Drugs For Reflux And Heartburn… And What To Do Instead
Every day millions of Americans take a PPI drug - such as Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, Nexium - to help them deal with acid reflux (GERD), heartburn, chest pain and/or difficulty swallowing.
Unfortunately many of these individuals ignore the warnings associated with these drugs... the warning informing them that they are not intended to be taken for more than two weeks at a time.
As a result, they are putting themselves at risk for some serious side-effects such as kidney disease, broken bones and dementia.
This has to stop… but how?
That is, what can a person do to avoid taking these drugs?
More importantly, what can a person do NATURALLY to help their digestive system improve to the point that they don’t need a PPI drug?
On this episode we lay out an exact plan.
Specifically, we share four tactics anyone can employ to improve their digestion.
In addition, we do something very few doctors will do:
We discuss HOW a person develops acid reflux (GERD) and heartburn so they can better understand how to correct it.
We also provide three very important questions a person should ask their doctor BEFORE ever taking a PPI drug.
Please give this episode a good listen as you won’t hear this information anywhere else.

Episode 23:10 The Unhealthy Lie Everyone Believes
On our previous episode we talked about the benefits of decluttering.
The feedback we received was phenomenal which made us realize that EVERYONE has excess “stuff” in their life.
Stuff they would be better off without.
On this episode we take a deeper look at WHY we accumulate so much stuff.
WHY we feel the need to “have more.”
WHY we allow our homes and our lives to be filled with clutter.
Interestingly, it all comes down to a lie.
A lie we have been brainwashed to believe.
A lie that can lead to destructive lifestyle choices.
A lie that we can stop perpetuating… if we choose.
Give this episode a good listen as it addresses the ROOT cause of many unhealthy and destructive behaviors.
Then please share this episode with a friend.

Episode 23:8 Ozempic and Wegovy - What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You
Want to have some fun?
Go up to a stranger and ask them this question:
“Did you know that Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist?”
Needless to say, they will have no idea what you’re talking about.
For that reason, perhaps you should ask them this question instead:
“Have you ever heard of the drug Ozempic?”
There’s a really good chance they’ll say “Yes.”
Why?
Because Ozempic, a drug used for Type 2 Diabetes, is THE hottest drug on the market right now.
- So hot that it’s in short supply.
So hot that the hashtag “Ozempic” has been viewed over 300 million times on Tiktok.
So hot that thousands upon thousands of people are taking it without realizing what it is.
You see, Ozempic IS Semaglutide.
And Semaglutide, as you know from the “odd” question above is a “glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.”
On this week’s episode we explain WHAT that means… and WHY it’s important.
That is, we explain what a “glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist” is… how it works… the potential dangers… and why it’s in such high demand.
We also discuss how Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic, was able to create a brand new drug, Wegovy, simply by taking Ozempic and adding more Semaglutide to it.
Yes, Wegovy is just higher strength Ozempic.
However, it is NOT used for managing Diabetes.
Instead, Wegovy is prescribed for weight loss… which is why it is so popular.
Not only that, but Novo Nordisk was able to get the FDA to approve Wegovy for adults… and KIDS!!!
This is scary as there have been NO long term studies on Wegovy.
No way to determine the long term damage it might do to a person’s digestive system, hormone system, skin, or brain.
There’s also no data regarding the long term effectiveness of Wegovy (or Ozempic) for weight loss OR what happens if you stop taking it.
And, by the way, once you start taking Wegovy you are expected to take it for life… at a cost of $1500 per month which gives Wegovy the potential to be the most profitable drug EVER!
There’s a lot people should know about both Ozempic and Wegovy.
Information they probably won’t get from their medical doctor (for reasons we explain).
Give this episode a good listen and then please share it with anyone you know who is taking, or thinking about taking, Ozempic or Wegovy.
Thanks!

Episode 23:7 Our Health Care System IS Going To Collapse. Are You Prepared?
We, as a nation, have a problem.
A huge problem… one that may very well bankrupt us.
It has to do with our current health care system.
A system that’s not only in trouble, it’s going to collapse.
The question is not “if” but “when?”
To make matters worse, no one in a position of authority wants to talk about it.
Nor do they want to do anything to try to prevent it.
But the writing’s on the wall.
Specifically, there are two signs pointing to a financial collapse of our current health care system:
1) More and more people are sick and requiring medical attention.
2) Health care costs continue to soar.
Combine these two together and you get a nation that spends FAR MORE than any other nation on health care.
This wouldn’t be a problem if we were also the healthiest nation.
But, we’re not.
Not by a long shot.
Dozens of nations rank higher than us with regard to health… yet NONE of them spend anywhere close to what we do.
And the problem is getting worse.
We are getting sicker… AND we are spending more.
We ARE heading for a collapse.
On this episode we discuss HOW we, as a nation, got to this point.
We also discuss what we can do individually, and as a nation, to prepare ourselves.
Give this episode a good listen as it contains important information you won’t get anywhere else.
Information that will help you weather the storm ahead.
Then please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:6 How To Lower Cholesterol Naturally (Without Drugs)
On this week’s episode we talk about natural ways to lower Cholesterol, without the use of drugs.
But first we ask and answer questions regarding last week’s episode… the episode where we talked about how you can lower Blood Pressure naturally.
Specifically, we ask:
-
If blood pressure medication “worked” why does a person have to take it for the rest of their life?
-
If a person doesn’t address and correct the CAUSES of their High Blood Pressure won't these CAUSES continue to harm the body?
-
Why are there so many types of blood pressure medications?
-
What are their side-effects?
-
What “tools” can be used to lower blood pressure naturally?
From there we move to a conversation about Cholesterol…
-
What’s the real impact of Cholesterol levels?
-
Why you should question the use of a statin drug.
-
The true cause of plaque in the arteries.
-
Natural ways to lower cholesterol.
There's some really valuable information on this episode so please give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 23:5 How To Lower Blood Pressure Naturally (Without Drugs)
Millions of Americans have a condition known as High Blood Pressure.
Almost all of them are prescribed a drug (or two) to lower it.
Unfortunately, very few people ever question this practice.
That is, very few people ever ask:
-
Is it safe?
-
Is it effective?
-
Is there a natural alternative?
We believe there IS a safer and more effective way of lowering a person’s blood pressure… a natural approach that doesn’t rely on prescriptive drugs.
On this episode we discuss this approach.
An approach that relies on several “tools” that can be used to help create an environment in which a person’s blood pressure can be reduced.
Natural tools that are part of a holistic lifestyle.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 23:2 Holistic Healing
People are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
They’re also sick and tired of being given drugs for their health problems.
Drugs that merely put a “band-aid” on their problems.
Drugs that do nothing to address the cause.
For this reason, more and more Americans are turning to a “holistic” approach to health… an approach that looks to correct the CAUSE of their health problems.
An approach that uses natural “tools” to help their body heal naturally, without the use of drugs or surgery.
On this episode we identify some of these natural “tools.”
We also discuss the importance of assessing your current level of health as it provides a “starting point” for your healing journey.
Give this episode a good listen as it will teach you about an effective, safe, and natural approach to health and healing.
In addition, please share it with your family and friends.
Thanks!

Episode 23:1 The Basics Behind The “Get Healthy Approach” To Healing
Unlike traditional medicine, the “Get Healthy Approach” to health care is NOT built upon the use of drugs and surgery.
Why?
Because in many instances the traditional approach has failed miserably.
So much so that more people are unhealthy in this country than ever before.
More people addicted to prescriptive drugs.
More people dying FROM medical care.
To make matters worse, it’s not getting any better.
We, as a nation, are on the verge of a true health care crisis… yet those in position of political and medical authority don’t seem to care.
Instead, their interest seems to lie with increasing the profits of the pharmaceutical industry… NOT on helping the people of this nation get healthier.
This is wrong and needs to be addressed.
Better health care options need to be made available.
Options that don’t rely on the use of drugs and surgery.
Options such as the “Get Healthy Approach.”
On this episode we discuss what the “Get Healthy Approach” to health care is and how you can begin to incorporate it into your life.
How it is a drug-less approach built upon the premise that, given the right environment, the human body can heal itself.
We also discuss natural “tools” you can use to help create the right environment for your body.
Give this episode a good listen as it will help get you on your way towards living a more natural, healthier life.
And, when you’re done listening, please share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:52 MORE Health Advice From Jesus
Wouldn’t it be great if Jesus sat down with us for an interview about health?
An interview in which He gave us advice on how to live healthy and happy lives?
Of course it would!
Unfortunately, we couldn’t get Him booked as Christmas is a really busy time of the year for Him 😂
So we did the next best thing:
We came up with seven pieces of advice that we felt He would want to share with us.
Interestingly, this advice is NOT focused on things we should DO to improve their health but on how we should THINK.
Specifically, the advice Jesus would share focuses on PRINCIPLES people should understand and ATTITUDES they should adopt.
On last week’s episode we shared the first four pieces of Jesus’ advice:
1) It IS God’s will for you to be healed
2) It’s OKAY if you aren’t
3) Your sickness may, or may not, be your fault
4) Don’t focus on your sickness, focus on solutions
On this episode we share Jesus’ final three pieces of advice… advice we believe will help you optimize your health AND heal you when you are sick.
Give this episode a good listen and then please share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:51 Health Advice From Jesus
Merry Christmas!
On this holiday episode we ask, and answer, the following question:
If Jesus sat down to record a podcast episode with us, what health advice would He give?
Hmmm….. that’s a good question!
It’s also a question that many people think Jesus would answer with “action steps”… things we should DO to become healthier.
We don’t agree.
We don’t believe Jesus would tell us to DO things - such as exercise and eat right - to improve our health.
Not because they aren’t important… they are!
Instead, we believe Jesus would tell us something more important.
Something that involves UNDERSTANDING Biblical teachings regarding health and healing.
Specifically, we believe Jesus would give us HEALTH PRINCIPLES that He wanted us to understand and follow.
Seven principles that He would want us to learn so we could live happier, healthier lives.
On this episode we dive into the first four of these principles.
Four principles that, once understood, may literally change your life.
Please give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

22:50 Secrets For Living A Long And Healthy Life
Despite all the turmoil in the world today, people are living longer and healthier lives.
Well, SOME people are.
It’s true.
More and more individuals are living active, independent lives - well into their 80’s - than ever before.
Why?
What’s their secret?
Interestingly, the answer to this question… the KEY to living a long and healthy life… has less to do with what people are DOING and more with what they AREN'T doing.
That is, engaging in health promoting activities such as eating right and exercising have LESS to do with how long a person will live than researchers originally thought.
Instead, the KEY to living a long and healthy life seems to be more strongly connected with AVOIDING certain unhealthy behaviors.
Which unhealthy behaviors?
The ones we talk about on this episode.
Give this episode a good lesson… take some notes… and prepare to live a long and healthy life 🙂

Episode 22:49 How To Improve Your Mindset
For years now health experts have been saying that, in order to live a healthy life, you must incorporate healthy behaviors.
Behaviors such as exercising, eating right and getting enough sleep.
Guess what?
These health experts are right… those types of behaviors DO improve your chances of living a healthy life.
Unfortunately, there’s a problem with this advice.
You see, most people struggle to incorporate those healthy behaviors into their life.
Why?
Not because of a lack of time (the number one excuse given by most people).
Nor because of a lack of money or resources.
Instead, the reason why most people struggle to live a healthy lifestyle is because they don’t have a healthy mindset.
That is, most people don’t “see” themselves as healthy.
They don’t realize how beautiful, talented and valuable they are.
As a result, they don’t feel the need to take good care of themselves.
Interestingly, if a person could just switch their mindset… if they could TRULY see how amazing they are… they would take much better care of themselves.
It’s like a person with a beautiful car.
They would NEVER allow soda, or any other junk, to be put into their car as fuel.
Why?
Because they VALUE their vehicle and know that pouring “junk” into would cause it to not run right.
It would ruin it.
Well, our bodies are the same way.
If you allow “junk” into your body through what you eat… or what you watch… or what you listen to…
It won’t run right.
And, in time, it will be ruined.
Yet most people continue to engage in such unhealthy behaviors.
Why?
Because they don’t VALUE themselves the way they do a nice car.
It’s sad… and it’s time to change.
Time for each of us to improve our mindsets.
Time to realize how awesome and amazing we are.
And on this episode we teach you how.
That is, we share with you one simple, yet powerful, way to improve your mindset.
An effective routine that ANYONE can incorporate into their life.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:48 DON’T Change Your Diet… Do This Instead
There are two things we want you to learn from this episode.
The first is this:
Your behaviors determine your health.
-
Smoke too many cigarettes and you’ll get lung cancer.
-
Drink too much alcohol and you’ll get cirrhosis of the liver.
-
Eat too much sugar and you’ll develop Diabetes.
You get the idea.
Now, let’s look at the second lesson:
It actually begins with a question:
If your behaviors determine your health, what determines your behaviors?
Great question… and an important one as well!
Important because it is your MINDSET - what you BELIEVE - regarding exercising, eating right, getting enough sleep, spending time in the sun, etc… that will determine your behaviors.
And therein lies the second lesson:
Your MINDSET determines your behaviors.
Connect these two lessons together and you’ll have a tremendous understanding of health:
1) Your behaviors determine your health.
2) Your MINDSET determines your behaviors.
So, why is this important?
Because when seeking to improve one’s health, most people focus solely on the first lesson… on changing their behaviors.
For example, they begin to do things like exercise more and/or eat better.
And while these changes are good, they most likely will not be sustained, nor have a lasting impact, if the MINDSET of the person hasn’t also changed.
That is, if in your mind you SEE yourself as unhealthy... all the healthy behaviors in the world won’t, in the long run, improve your health.
Sure, you may look and feel healthier for awhile, but in the long run you’ll sabotage your efforts and revert back to behaviors that are consistent with your MINDSET.
For this reason, it is vitally important to identify and correct weaknesses in your MINDSET if you want to have any hope of adopting, and sustaining, healthy behaviors.
THAT is what this episode is about…
The importance of working on the one aspect of your health that most people, and doctors, ignore:
Your MINDSET.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:47 The Miraculous Health Benefits Of Gratitude
Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s awesome that we have a holiday dedicated to gratitude… to the simple act of “Giving Thanks.”
In addition, it’s awesome how many health benefits are connected to “Giving Thanks.”
For example, did you know that people who practice “Giving Thanks” have healthier Immune Systems than those who don’t?
Or that they handle stress better?
And sleep better?
Those three benefits alone have a HUGE impact on one’s health… and they all can be improved simply by making “Giving Thanks” a habit.
But that’s not all.
People who practice “Giving Thanks” display higher levels of happiness, joy, enthusiasm, optimism and love.
Again, that’s not all.
People with an “attitude of gratitude” also experience less bitterness, resentment, greed, envy, fear, anxiety, worry and anger.
Wow!!!
Now, if you could take ALL of these benefits and wrap them into either a pharmaceutical drug or a nutritional supplement… you’d be a billionaire!
But you can’t and that’s okay because you don’t need another pill in your life.
Instead, all you need to do is get better at “Giving Thanks.”
And, in this episode, we share with you simple ways to do that.
Specifically, we share three "tips" that anyone can implement into their life today so that they can begin to experience the miraculous benefits immediately.
So, give this episode a good listen. Then be sure to share it with a friend.
One last thing:
Thank YOU for supporting this podcast. We really are incredibly grateful for your support!

Episode 22:43 Doctors and Nurses: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Every profession seems to have its fair share of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
You see it in politics, education, and entertainment.
You even see it in organized religion.
EVERY profession has GOOD people who get caught up having to do BAD things because of UGLY (corrupt) leaders in position of authority.
The medical profession is no exception.
In fact, the medical profession may be the leader in this field.
On this episode we take a close look at what REALLY goes on in the medical profession.
Specifically, we look at doctors and nurses:
GOOD people who oftentimes are stuck doing BAD things because of the UGLY (corrupt) individuals and organizations that set the “guidelines” they must follow.
By the time you’re done listening you’ll have learned:
1) The GOOD that doctors and nurses do on a daily basis.
2) The BAD influences doctors and nurses are subjected to.
3) The UGLY and corrupt “puppet masters” that are pulling the strings.
Give this episode a good listen as it will help you see the medical profession in a different light.
A light that shines upon The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Thanks!

Episode 22:42 Breast Cancer and October: It’s Time We Moved BEYOND “Awareness”
Everyone knows that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
That’s awesome!
Everyone also knows that, over the past several decades, Billions of dollars have been raised for the cause.
That’s a lot of money… and a testament to the heart of Americans.
People will give to a worthy cause.
And Breast Cancer Awareness is certainly a worthy cause… right?
Not exactly.
Not if you are expecting RESULTS.
Let me explain:
Raising awareness of breast cancer is great.
However, you would think that after raising hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars there would be measurable improvements when it comes to the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
There’s not.
For example, according to the CDC 41,144 women died in the Untied States from breast cancer in 1999.
Twenty years (and Billions of dollars raised) later guess how many women died from breast cancer?
42,280
It’s true… MORE women died of breast cancer in 2019 than in 1999.
How can that be?
How can a campaign such as “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” help raise over one hundred Billion dollars, and the number of deaths from breast cancer INCREASE from 1999 to 2019?
It doesn’t make sense.
But that’s not all.
During this same twenty year period, the number of NEW cases of breast cancer also went UP!
Here’s the data from the CDC:
In 1999 there were 198,591 new cases of breast cancer.
In 2019 that number had jumped to 264,121.
That’s an increase of over 65,000 new cases.
That’s not good!
Something clearly isn’t working.
Which brings us to this week’s episode.
On this episode we discuss how, after raising hundreds of Billions of dollars we should expect MORE than simple “awareness” of Breast Cancer.
That is, women should expect more from their doctors and the American Cancer Society.
More comprehensive advice… advice beyond “get a mammogram.”
More conversations about PREVENTION... conversations that include strategies, tactics and programs to cut down on the number of breast cancer cases and deaths.
More information demonstrating what can be done to enhance treatment should a woman get breast cancer.
More information explaining how to prevent a previous cancer from coming back.
It’s time to move BEYOND breast cancer awareness.
It’s time for answers.
Time for results.
We get the ball rolling on this episode.
Give it a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:41 How To Stay Healthy And Strong… All Winter Long
The past two years have been a whirlwind with regard to health.
Viruses coming, going… and mutating.
Controversial methods of treatment and prevention.
Who knows what this upcoming winter will bring?
Another pandemic… or perhaps a more “traditional” cold and flu season?
Regardless of the specific type of threat our bodies will face over the next few months, there is one thing you count on:
The stronger your Immune System the better your chances of staying healthy.
It’s true: the stronger and healthier your Immune System, the greater your chance of overcoming any viral attack on your body.
So, how do you strengthen your Immune System?
There are many ways… five of which we discuss on this episode.
Specifically, we share five tactics you can employ to enhance your chances of staying healthy and strong through the next several months.
Best of all, four of the five strategies won’t cost you a cent 🙂
Please give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 22:40 Everything You Really, Really Need To Know About COVID
Let me ask you a question:
What’s the difference between the Coronavirus and COVID?
(Yes, there is a difference… a very IMPORTANT difference.)
Believe it or not, despite the pandemic dominating the headlines for the past two and a half years, most people can’t answer that question.
(If that’s you, don’t worry. On this episode we’ll teach you the difference!)
Let me ask you another question:
Did you know that there is no such thing as a COVID test?
It’s true.
(We explain why this is true on this episode.)
One last question:
Did you know that, by now, it’s almost certain that EVERYONE has had the Coronavirus (whether they know it or not)?
Again, that’s also true.
Nearly every American adult has had the Coronavirus. Many, however, have no idea as they were not symptomatic.
On this episode we talk about the importance of this.
But that’s not all.
On this episode we talk about a dozen topics related to the Coronavirus and COVID.
Topics you NEED to know… but probably won’t ever hear about from the mainstream media.
Give this episode a good listen.
In fact, listen to just the first NINE minutes of this podcast and you’ll know more about COVID than all of your friends.
Listen to ALL twenty-six minutes and you’ll know more about COVID than everyone in your community, including your doctors.
Bold claim?
Yes, but it’s also one we strongly believe.
One more thing:
Take notes… AND share this episode with your family and friends.

Episode 22:39 Balancing Female Hormones
On last week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we talked about two very inexpensive (under $5) remedies that provided tremendous relief for a man with excruciating pain in his upper back and a woman suffering with daily headaches.
As a result of that episode, several women have asked if there was an inexpensive remedy for hormone imbalances.
Something simple that could help them deal with their many symptoms.
The answer is…
No.
The truth is, there is NO simple remedy that will balance a woman’s hormones.
No “magic cure.”
No “take this and everything will be alright pill.”
But there IS hope.
That is, there are things women can do nutritionally to help them balance their hormones.
Changes they can make in their diet.
Supplements they can take at the appropriate times.
On this episode we talk about these nutritional strategies.
Strategies that could go a long way towards helping women balance their hormones.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:38 Two “Miracle Cures”... That Cost Under $5 Each
Imagine having a pain in your upper back… an excruciating pain that you have been battling with every day for the past six years.
A pain that shoots from your shoulder blade area straight through to the front of your body… into your chest and arm.
A pain that places limits on how active you can be.
A pain that interferes with your sleep.
A pain that refuses to get better no matter what the doctors give you… or what they tell you to do.
Now imagine that your Chiropractor says he has a solution for you.
A solution so simple you have doubts that it will work.
Yet it does!
This simple solution melts your pain away.
You’re now feeling better.
Sleeping better.
Everything, including your personality and mood, are better.
All from a simple “remedy“ that costs less than five dollars.
On this week’s episode we share with you this story… a story of how an “under five dollars remedy“ turned a man’s life around.
In addition, we share a second “miracle cure”… this time involving a woman with daily headaches who saw her health dramatically improve after implementing a different “under five dollar remedy.“
Both of these stories will inspire you.
They will also encourage you to “think outside the box” when it comes to treating stubborn health problems.
As always, give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:35 The Truth Behind Dr. Fauci’s Retirement and Student Loan Forgiveness
Back in early February of this year we predicted that Dr. Fauci would announce his retirement before the end of the year.
We were right!
Dr. Fauci IS stepping down from his position as Director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.
WHY is he stepping down?
We discuss that on this week’s episode.
WE also discuss WHY we are upset about it.
(Believe it or not, we have good reasons for NOT wanting him to step down.)
But that’s not all we discuss.
Another topic of conversation focuses on the recent announcement that individuals with student loans will have their debt reduced by $10,000
This has created a lot of controversy as there are many individuals who feel it is wrong to use taxpayers money to do this.
And while they certainly have a valid point, the bigger question is “WHY is the government doing this?”
That is, WHY is the government cutting loans?
Is it to be nice… or is there a hidden agenda?
Find out all the answers on this week’s episode.
One more thing:
Be prepared to hear from a special guest… a friend who stopped by and helped us record this episode.

Episode 22:33 How To Keep Your (Back To School) Child From Getting Sick
It’s that time of the year again:
Back to school.
A time when parents want to know what they can do to keep their children healthy and strong throughout the upcoming school year.
What supplements will provide their children with the nutrients their Immune Systems needs to function optimally.
In years past I (Dr. George Burroughs) did not have an answer for these parents as my favorite supplement company, Standard Process, did not have an “Immune System boosting” supplement that was made specifically for kids.
However, this year, things have changed!
This year, I DO have a supplement that parents can give to their children.
A supplement that has been designed with ingredients shown to strengthen and nourish the Immune System.
This product is called “SP Children’s Immune” and it is awesome.
In fact, to call it a “product” isn’t really fair as it is, in my opinion, TWO whole food supplements in one.
Listen to this episode to learn all about this amazing new product.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering…
SP Children’s Immune can be taken by children of ALL ages :)

Episode 22:32 Being Pregnant Is NOT A Disease (So Why Does The Alabama Department of Public Health Treat It As One?)
A woman should have the right to decide the type of health care she wants.
Especially during pregnancy.
A right to receive care from a medical doctor OR a Certified Professional Midwife.
In the state of Alabama that right was only granted to women five years ago (2017).
Now this right is being threatened.
Not because of poor quality of care.
Not because of poor outcomes.
Not because of any complaints against midwives.
Instead, the right for women in Alabama to choose a Certified Professional Midwife is being threatened by the Alabama Department of Public Health.
Why?
Nobody knows.
But we can make some pretty good guesses.
On this episode we sit down with Jessica Smith, president of the Alabama Birth Coalition, to discuss how the Alabama Department of Public Health is trying to keep women from having access to optimal care during pregnancy and delivery.
We discuss the long and hard battle women in Alabama have faced in trying to obtain health care rights… the progress that was made leading up to a law being passed to give women those rights… and how those rights are now being threatened by the very organization that should be defending them.
Please give this episode a good listen as it is not only about the health care rights of pregnant women, it’s about the rights of ALL people who live in Alabama.
Thanks!

Episode 22:31 Palm Trees, Cactus… and the Three Keys To Healing Your Body
Everybody wants to look their best.
Feel their best.
Perform their best.
But there’s a problem.
Our bodies don’t always cooperate.
Something is always trying to keep us down.
Some kind of ailment, sickness or disease that prevents us from looking, feeling and being our best.
Going to the medical doctor doesn’t help.
He/she simply gives us a drug to take… a drug that will silence the symptoms of the problem without addressing the cause.
Not only that, these drugs come with side-effects that will require us to take even more drugs.
It’s a vicious cycle.
A cycle you CAN break if you choose.
How?
By learning to incorporate "the three keys to healing your body."
Three keys that we discuss in detail on this episode.
Give it good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:29 Five Simple Tips For Living A Happier, Healthier Life
When my son decided to move from Alabama to San Diego I offered to help him.
Not because I’m a great Dad… but because I wanted to see San Diego!
Just kidding, lol.
The truth is, the thought the idea of driving across the country… just he and I… sounded pretty good to me.
Plus, I really did want to visit San Diego.
So, off we went.
I’m happy to report that our drive out there was wonderful… this country is beautiful… and the few days I got to spend in San Diego left me extremely impressed.
So much so that I wrote down several “lessons” I learned… lessons that I share on this episode in the form of “five simple tips for living a happier and healthier life.”
This episode is short (only 13 minutes), and the tips are simple, but very effective.
Please give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 22:29 The Healing Power Of Prayer
On last week’s episode we talked about how God is NOT going to heal you.
Why?
Because He already has.
That is, God has already made a way for you to be healed through the “stripes of Jesus.”
As a result, the healing power of God ALREADY resides within you and is not something you need to “get.”
It’s something you need to express.
Something you need to activate and manifest.
But how?
The answer begins with PRAYER.
On this episode we teach you how to pray effectively… in a manner that will allow you to experience more healing in your life and in the life of those around you.
Please give this episode a good listen as it may radically improve your life.
Then share it with a friend.

Episode 22:28 God is NOT Going To Heal You. Here’s Why…
With BetyLou Pierce on vacation, I (Dr. George Burroughs) decided to use this episode to discuss a topic that is near and dear to my heart:
Why God Is NOT Going To Heal You!
Needless to say, I expect a lot of pushback… and that’s okay!
All I ask is that you first listen to this episode and reflect upon the scriptures I use to support my stance.
I think you will be surprised by what you learn.
In addition, as a type of disclaimer, I want to say that I am a Christian man who believes in the healing power of God.
I just think our perspective of HOW He heals has been distorted.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen.

Episode 22:27 Side-Effects May Include…
Most people know that EVERY drug carries with it the potential for negative side effects.
Even aspirin.
Unfortunately, what most people DON’T know is that severe illness and/or death is oftentimes one of these side effects.
In fact, more Americans die each year from pharmaceutical drugs than from ANY other condition other than heart disease and cancer.
Sad, but true.
What’s even sadder is that many conditions can be treated WITHOUT pharmaceutical drugs and, therefore, WITHOUT the corresponding side effects.
It’s called Holistic Medicine and it is an approach that focuses on using NATURAL remedies to restore a person’s health.
Unfortunately, most medical doctors, and the medical profession as a whole, ignore all things “natural’ and limit their treatment options to “a pill for every ill.”
WHY they do this is a subject for another time.
For now, just know that the use of pharmaceutical drugs is VERY profitable which is why you see these pills advertised on TV commercials, magazines… and all across the internet.
You also see, at the end of these advertisements, a warning stating “side effects may include…”
Listening to the list of side effects is scary as they are oftentimes WORSE than the actual condition they are supposed to be treating!
On this episode we talk about the use, and misuse, of pharmaceutical drugs with an emphasis on how harmful many of them can be… even when used properly.
We also discuss one particular drug that is marketed specifically as a treatment for the side effects of other drugs.
(Yes, there is a drug that is promoted as a treatment for the side effects of other drugs!)
Be sure to give this episode a good listen.
Then, share it with a friend.
In addition, check the potential side effects of every drug YOU are taking.
Thanks!

Episode 22:25 For Men Only
For some reason most men like to avoid dealing with health issues.
Not only that but, most men believe that, if they don’t think about, or address, a health issue… it will go away.
Not true!
Health issues, and symptoms of health issues, are all signals from a man’s body that something is wrong.
And, that something can almost always be traced back to an an imbalance or weakness in one, or more, of seven factors.
What are these seven factors?
Great question… a question we answer on this episode.
In addition, we provide NATURAL nutritional solutions for three of the most common health problems effecting men:
1) Stress
2) Heart Conditions
3) Decreased Vitality/Energy
These three health problems affect millions of men.
However, very few men know how to identify and correct the CAUSE of these problems.
That ends today 🙂
By learning how to identify which of the seven factors are having a negative impact on their health… and by learning which supplements and herbs may help them correct those factors… men can get back on the road to a long and healthy life.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with the men in your life.
Thanks!

Episode 22:22 How To Be Your Own Doctor
Wouldn’t it be great if you could be your own doctor?
Of course it would!
And you can… kind of.
That is, you can learn the two important questions that doctors should ask EVERY patient.
Two questions that will steer a person's care in the right direction.
A healthy direction.
Unfortunately, most doctors DON’T ask these two questions.
That’s a mistake… but it’s a mistake you can help correct.
How?
By asking YOURSELF these two questions before going to see a doctor.
This will allow you to help him/her provide you with the best care possible.
Care that will get to the ROOT of your problem and not just put a band-aid on it.
On this episode we share these two important questions with you.
We then take you through several “case studies” that demonstrate how these questions can, and should, be used.
Give this episode a good listen and then be sure to share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:21 The Three CAUSES Of Disease
If there was ONE thing I hope you’ve learned from the past two episodes of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast it would be this:
1) Treating symptoms/diseases is only HALF the battle.
2) You MUST also identify and correct the CAUSE of the symptoms/disease.
Understand this and you truly will be more knowledgeable than most doctors.
Why?
Because in most cases the only thing a doctor knows to do is prescribe a drug to “treat” your problem.
He/she spends little or no time trying to identify and correct the CAUSE!
It’s time for this to change.
That is, doctors need to start “digging deeper.”
Start helping patients get to the root cause of their problems.
And we want to help!
Specifically, on this episode we share with you the THREE primary causes of nearly every chronic disease.
The three reasons WHY you have symptoms.
The three aspects of your life that, when weak or out of balance, play a significant role in the development of disease.
Unfortunately, these three factors are seldom talked about by most doctors.
That’s why YOU need to know this information.
You need to KNOW the underlying CAUSES behind most symptoms and diseases.
Learn this well and you will be able to take your health to a new level.
Able to help your body HEAL... and not just "cover up" symptoms.
Be sure to give this episode a good listen.
It just may save your life!
And, after listening, be sure to share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:20 Your Disease Is NOT The Problem
On last week’s episode we talked about the ONE mistake every medical doctor makes:
They focus their attention solely on treating symptoms and diseases without trying to identify and correct their CAUSE.
The reason this is a mistake is simple:
Treating symptoms does NOT help your body heal.
Healing only comes from identifying and eliminating the CAUSE of your symptoms.
On this episode we dive deeper into this very important topic.
Specifically, we share how your disease is NOT the problem.
Instead, your disease is simply the "signalling system" your body uses to let you know that there IS a problem... an underlying CAUSE to your symptoms and disease.
Unfortunately, most doctors ignore this and limit their scope of practice to the treatment of symptoms.
This does you, the patient, an injustice.
On this week's episode we also share how, if you're struggling to discover the cure to a condition, you MUST find a doctor who will work with you on identifying and eliminating the CAUSE.
Why?
Because, without addressing the CAUSE, there’s a good chance your body will not heal!
A good example of this - one we talk about on the episode - is the treatment of High Blood Pressure.
As you know, the typical patient with High Blood Pressure is simply given drugs.
-
Drugs that will only "mask" the problem.
-
Drugs they will have to take for the rest of their life.
-
Drugs that come with several negative side-effects.
-
Drugs that will do nothing to provide a cure!
That is, although drugs can lower a person’s blood pressure numbers, they will do NOTHING to correct the CAUSE of High Blood Pressure.
As a result, the underlying problems that are CAUSING the High Blood Pressure will persist and continue to do harm to the person’s body.
Unfortunately, this problem is NOT limited to the treatment of High Blood Pressure.
It applies to nearly ALL chronic conditions!
That is, in nearly ALL chronic conditions - High Blood Pressure, Type 2 Diabetes, Fatigue, Headaches, Digestive Disorders, Alzheimer’s, and Arthritis - drugs are prescribed to deal with the SYMPTOMS, while the CAUSE goes unaddressed.
This has to stop!
How?
On this episode we lay the foundation for doing just that... and set the stage for our next two episodes:
One which will discuss the idea of using Natural Solutions (as opposed to drugs) for treating chronic conditions.
The other for sharing the three primary CAUSES behind nearly all chronic conditions.
Give this episode a good listen as the information will change how you view your symptoms… and how you view your doctors!
Also, be sure to share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:19 The ONE Mistake Every Doctor Makes
Did you know that there is ONE mistake that nearly every doctor makes?
A mistake that is negatively impacting YOUR health.
A mistake that needs to be addressed and corrected.
What is the mistake?
You’ll have to listen to the episode :)
However, here’s a hint:
The mistake we talk about is not related to something your doctor is “doing.”
It’s related to something your doctor is NOT doing.
Something he/she should start doing immediately!
Something that, once corrected, will help improve your overall health and well-being.
Give this episode a good listen as what you learn will empower you in your health care journey.
Also, be sure to share it with a friend… and your doctor!
Thanks!

Episode 22:18 The Most Important Hour Of The Day
Ask someone to list some “habits” of healthy people and you’ll probably get the following answers:
1) They exercise regularly.
2) They eat right.
3) They take supplements (ideally “whole food” ones).
4) They drink a lot of water.
5) They get adequate amount of sun exposure.
6) They get 7-9 hours of sleep each day.
7) They manage stress well.
All, of course, ARE healthy habits!
However, there is ONE that is missing from the list.
A habit that is seldom talked about… yet most healthy people incorporate into their day.
That habit is:
Having a morning routine.
That is, most healthy people spend the first hour (or more) of their day engaging in some kind of routine.
A routine that “sets the tone” for their day.
On this episode we discuss WHY spending the first hour of your day in some type of healthy routine is extremely beneficial.
Specifically, we talk about the physical and emotional benefits of morning routines and how they can play a huge role in improving a person’s health… and behavior!
We also share our personal morning routines and the difference it makes in our lives.
As always, we suggest you give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:17 Overweight? It’s Not Your Fault - Part Two Of Our Interview With Anedra Brown
Regular listeners of this podcast are familiar with Anedra Brown’s incredible health journey… a journey that has seen her lose over 150lbs in less than two years.
In this episode Anedra shares how a statement made by Coach Sam Shelton on Episode 22-11 had a huge impact on her life.
Specifically, Coach Sam said that for many people being overweight is NOT their fault.
The REAL culprit is that they haven’t been taught HOW to be healthy… especially with regard to diet and nutrition.
Hearing this literally brought tears to Anedra’s eyes as it brought back some painful memories.
Memories of people thinking that she was a glutton who did nothing but eat all day.
This, of course, was NOT true.
Anedra didn’t overeat… she simply didn’t know what foods she should eat.
In addition, she was unaware of the other lifestyle factors needed to “Get Healthy.”
Fortunately, all of that changed two years ago.
Changes we talked about in last week’s episode (22-16).
In THIS episode Anedra talks about how she wants to use what she has learned along her journey to help others.
How she wants to prevent others from being misinformed - and uninformed - like she once was.
Specifically, Anedra discusses:
- The KEY hormone behind weight gain… and what you can do to combat it.
- The “pleasure” neurotransmitter that causes people to become addicted to the wrong foods.
- Her journey into becoming a “not so typical” fitness instructor.
- The simple rules she follows when it comes to her diet.
- The (bad) food she recently ate that caused her face to swell up like a balloon.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with your family and friends.
Thanks!

Episode 22:16 Anedra Brown’s Secret For Losing 150lbs!!!
Two years ago if someone told Anedra Brown that she would become a fitness instructor AND that she would use her platform to organize a fundraiser in her community she would have told them they were crazy!
You see, back then Anedra lived with chronic pain… and chronic fatigue.
Simple activities such as walking around the house hurt.
In addition, she was always exhausted… even after getting eight hours of sleep.
To make matters worse, her emotions were a mess… causing her to burst into tears for no apparent reason.
All in all, she wasn’t in a good place.
Then, something changed.
She found help in a program.
NOT a weight loss program but a “Get Healthy” program.
A program she committed to stick to (and still follows today).
A program that has helped her lose over 150lbs!
More importantly, a program that has helped her regain the health she thought was gone forever.
A program built around these five simple strategies:
**1) Eliminate food sensitivities
2) Take three core supplements
3) Exercise
4) Overcome emotional “blocks”
5) Educate yourself**
Now, regarding Anedra’s "secret":
There is no secret!
No drugs.
No surgeries.
No pills, potions, or meal replacements.
Just a solid commitment to implementing the strategies above.
Strategies that have been proven to improve a person's health.
(Losing a bunch of weight along the way is a just a wonderful “side-effect.")
Listen to her story.
It will inspire you… and educate you!
Then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:15 Giving Birth Just Three Minutes After Entering The Hospital… And Other Amazing Health Stories
On this special episode of the podcast Dr. George Burroughs talks about the amazing birthing experience his daughter Brooklynn recently had and how Chiropractic care may have played a vital role.
He then goes on to share some of the most fascinating cases he has dealt with over his thirty-two years in practice including:
-
Correcting BetyLou’s granddaughter’s “cross-eye.”
-
A “miracle” adjustment that not only led to a touchdown in a college football game, it impressed a team of medical physicians.
-
The resolution of a 12 year-old girl’s headaches that had neurologists baffled… and her mother in disbelief.
-
A patient whose PERFECT spinal alignment did NOT come from an adjustment.
We’re confident you’ll find this episode both entertaining and informative.

Episode 22:14 How To Say “No” To Neck, Back… And Gallbladder Surgery Each year there are approximately 50 million surgeries performed in the United States.
Some, of course, are necessary.
Others are not.
The question becomes, “How do you know?”
That is, HOW do you know if a surgery that has been recommended for you is actually necessary?
On this week’s episode we look at three individuals who asked themselves that same question.
Three individuals who looked, and FOUND, natural solutions for their arm pain, leg pain, and gallbladder problems.
In addition, we discuss the ONE dietary change that caused a young man's chronic knee pain to virtually disappear.
(It will shock you!)

Episode 22:12 Withholding Effective Treatments: The REAL Tragedy Of The Past Two Years
When looking back on the events of the past two years, three questions come to mind:
1) Was the Coronavirus created in a lab and intentionally released?
2) Is the vaccine safe and effective?
3) Were effective treatments for Covid-19 withheld?
While we certainly can debate the first two points concerning the origin of the virus and the effectiveness of the vaccine, that is NOT what we focus on in this episode.
Instead, we take a look at the the third point:
Were effective treatments for Covid-19 withheld?
For this question we believe there is no argument.
In our opinion, effective treatments for Covid-19 - although available - WERE withheld.
Intentionally “kept out of reach.”
It began in 2020 when government health officials used FALSE and inappropriate data to shut down the use of the drug Hydroxychloroquine… AFTER it was being used effectively to treat Covid-19 by doctors throughout the world.
Then, in 2021, these same officials flexed their political muscles to prevent Ivermectin from being used… despite it being shown to be a “miracle drug” in numerous studies.
As a result of these effective treatments being available, but KEPT OUT OF REACH, millions of people may have died unnecessarily.
It’s sickening.
Listen to this episode to hear the TRUTH behind what has happened the past two years.
It will NOT make you happy.
It will, however, make you informed.

Episode 22:11 Fructose, Uric Acid… and Why People Get Fat - An Interview With Coach Sam Shelton
On this week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we continue our conversation with Coach Sam Shelton about the important role food plays in our health.
Specifically we talk about Uric Acid and how high blood levels of it signal the body to make and store fat.
(Yes, you read that correctly: high Uric Acid levels TELL the body to store fat.)
In addition, high Uric Acid levels are also associated with heart disease, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s and cancer.
NOT conditions you want!
So, what causes high Uric Acid levels?
The answer is simple:
Fructose.
Fructose is a form of sugar that, when consumed from the right source (fruit), can be very good for you.
However, when consumed from the wrong sources - table sugar and high fructose corn syrup (junk food) - can cause a ton of health problems.
Fortunately, there are simple ways to measure and monitor blood Uric Acid levels.
There are also simple ways to LOWER them through diet.
Give this episode a good listen to learn all you need to know about Uric Acid and how lowering it can dramatically improve your health.

Episode 22:10 How The American Diet Got So Bad: An Interview With Coach Sam Shelton
The last time Coach Sam Shelton was on the Get Healthy Alabama podcast (episode 21-42) he explained how nearly EVERY chronic disease could be traced back to a “metabolic dysfunction” in the body.
He also explained how this “metabolic dysfunction” was directly related to a person’s diet, particularly sugar intake, and that there were two tests everyone should ask their doctor to perform:
1) Insulin levels
2) Uric Acid levels
We discussed Insulin Levels with Coach on that episode and said we’d have him back to talk to us about the dangers of high Uric Acid levels.
Well, now he’s back.
Except we didn’t get to talk much about high Uric Acid levels.
(We’re bringing him back next week to do that)
Instead we talked about how we, as a society, got to this point.
That is, we discussed the reason WHY Uric Acid levels have skyrocketed in recent decades… leading to an epidemic of many chronic diseases.
Other topics discussed include:
-
How our food choices are killing us… but it’s not our fault
-
Why people are always hungry
-
How we are overfed… yet undernourished
-
The connection between fructose and Uric Acid levels
-
The obesity epidemic
-
Why rationing food resulted in healthier people
-
The disastrous Food Pyramid
-
Why fructose in fruit is okay
-
The “process” behind processed food

Episode 22:9 The BEST Nutritional Advice You’ll Ever Receive
Here’s the BEST nutritional advice you’ll ever receive:
1) Don’t eat bad foods
2) Eat good foods… and drink water
3) Take whole-food supplements
Simple, yet powerful.
Of the three, the first one is probably the most powerful:
Don’t eat bad foods.
On this episode we share the top “bad foods” we believe you need to avoid… and why you need to avoid them.
(Can you guess what they are?)
We also discuss the foods we think you SHOULD be eating as well as the three (yes, only three) whole food supplements you should be taking.
If you struggle with ANY type of chronic disease… or, if you simply want to be the healthiest person you can be… give this episode a good listen.

Episode 22:5 How To Properly Detox
Your body is equipped with certain processes that are designed to eliminate the “by-products” of normal physiological functions.
Processes such as...
Peeing, pooping, sweating and exhaling.
Problems occur when these processes become overwhelmed… that is, when they are asked to deal with too many “by-products.”
When this happens - when the amount of “by-products” exceeds the capabilities of the elimination processes - a toxic environment can develop leading to a variety of sicknesses and diseases.
Sicknesses and diseases that include:
-
Brain fog, anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, migraines.
-
Low testosterone, high estrogen, low thyroid, infertility.
-
Crohn’s disease, colitis, IBS, heartburn, reflux.
-
Sinusitis, chronic infections, colds, flu.
-
High blood pressure, arteriosclerosis.
-
Skin rashes, eczema, psoriasis, acne.
-
Bad breath, body odor, unhealthy hair.
-
Chronic fatigue.
As stated above, ANY of these problems can be caused by a toxic environment inside your body.
That’s the bad news.
The good news is that any of these problems can be significantly helped, and potentially cured, by an intelligently designed “Detox program.”
On this week’s episode we share with you how to intelligently design a Detox program, including valuable tips to help you get started.
Tips you can begin implementing TODAY.
As always, our goal is to help you “Get Healthy” so that you can look your best, feel your best, and perform your best.

Episode 22:4 The Three Faces Of Covid
Covid has been with us for nearly two years.
Actually, three different manifestations of Covid have been with us for nearly two years.
The first manifestation of Covid was that which appeared with the original Coronavirus.
The second manifestation of Covid was that which appeared with the Delta variant of the Coronavirus.
The third manifestation of Covid was that which appeared with the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus.
Because each manifestation presented itself differently, we decided to call them “The Three Faces of Covid.”
1) The Real Face = the original Coronavirus
2) The Distorted Face = the Delta variant
3) The Unrecognizable Face = the Omicron variant
On this episode we take a closer look at each of these Three Faces of Covid.
We do so by asking each Face these three questions:
**1) What was the impact of the vaccine?
2) What strategies for Prevention and Treatment were being implemented?
3) How did our national leadership react?**
The answers are both honest and enlightening.
They will also provide you with the information you need to educate people about what’s really going on, and what HAS gone on, the past two years.
As always, give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 22:3 Masks, Vaccines… And A Slight Problem With Girl Scouts
We’ve been lied to a lot during the course of this pandemic.
Lied to about the masks:
“They don’t help… they do help… they don’t help.”
Lied to about the vaccines:
“They prevent the Coronavirus. Oh wait they don’t.”
“They prevent you from transmitting it. Oh wait they don’t.”
“They prevent you from being hospitalized from it. Oh wait they don’t.”
Lied to about natural immunity.
Lied to about herd immunity.
Lied to about the side-effects of the vaccine.
Lied to about the impact that masks, shutdowns, remote learning and vaccines are having on kids.
It’s frustrating.
Speaking of kids, there’s something about Girl Scouts that needs to be addressed.
Something that’s kind of funny… and kind of not.
(We address this at the beginning of the episode.)
Give this a good listen as the information on masks, vaccines… and Girl Scouts… can help you make healthy decisions for you and your family.

Episode 22:2 Natural Remedies For Treating Viral Infections
It seems like the Coronavirus just won’t go away as record numbers of Americans are now testing positive for it.
As a result, the demand for suggestions on what can be done naturally to overcome it has gone through the roof.
For that reason we decided to use this episode to share with you suggestions for dealing with the Coronavirus, or any virus, NATURALLY.
Specifically, we discuss three combinations of whole food supplements and herbs that can be used in the following manner:
1) Prevention
2) Early Treatment
3) Treatment
1) PREVENTION
To prevent someone from getting a cold, the flu or Covid we suggest a combination called “The Immune Power Pack”:
Cataplex C - 3 per day
Cataplex D - 3 per day
Zinc Chelate - 1-2 per day
Wormwood Complex - 1 per day (on an empty stomach)
2) EARLY TREATMENT
At the FIRST SIGN of a cold, we recommend the “Nip It In The Bud” combination of supplements consisting of:
Cataplex C - 3, every three hours
Congaplex - 3, every three hours
Echinacea Premium - 1, every three hours
3) TREATMENT
Once a person is sick, we recommend a combination of herbs known as “The Core Four”:
Echinacea Premium - 2, every three hours
Andrographis Complex - 2, every three hours
Epimune (Mushrooms) - 2, every three hours
Wormwood Complex - 2, every three hours
In our opinion, all of these products are excellent and can be purchased directly from the manufacturer (Standard Process) via a website set up specifically for our listeners:
Atlas.StandardProcess.com
On this episode we also discuss how EVERYONE is going to get “punched” by a virus during this cold and flu season… why this current sickness is NOT Covid… and the difference between “pandemic” and “endemic.”
Please give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 22:1 Don’t Detox… Do THIS Instead
Planning on starting a a Detox, Cleanse or Weight Loss program?
Listen to this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast first!
————-
Most health problems can be linked to two words:
DEFICIENCY and EXCESS.
That is, health problems occur whenever the body has a DEFICIENCY of the nutrients it needs… and/or an EXCESS of the toxins it doesn’t need.
Let's look at each:
1) The role that nutritional DEFICIENCIES plays in the development of health problems receives a lot of attention.
Just pick up any health magazine and you will see what I mean as evident by the abundance of ads for supplements.
2) The problems caused by an EXCESS amount of toxins in the body does not receive the same amount of attention… except at the beginning of the year.
It’s true.
For some reason, the idea of eliminating toxins from the body receives a lot of attention once the calendar turns to January.
And, that’s a good thing.
You see, the body NEEDS to eliminate excess toxins from the body.
Failure to do so can play a large role in the development of disease.
The question therefore is not “should a person do a detox or cleansing program?”
The question is…
Is there anything a person should do BEFORE undergoing a detox or cleansing program?
The answer is “Yes” and on this episode we lay out exactly what you should do BEFORE doing a detox.
Specifically, we discuss the importance of doing a PRE-TOX.
What’s a PRE-TOX?
A PRE-TOX is a combination of three health strategies you should engage in BEFORE putting your body through an actual Detox program.
These three strategies WILL not only improve your health they will put you in a position to get the most out of an actual Detox program.
So, if you’re one of the millions of Americans looking to begin a Detox, Cleanse or Weight Loss program…
Wait!
Give this episode a listen first.
It will help make your program better!

Episode 21:52 The Resolution Solution… And Our Predictions For 2022
As another year comes to a close, it’s normal to turn your attention to the “newness” of the upcoming year.
With this “newness” comes opportunity… opportunity to write a new chapter of your life.
No more of the “same old story.”
It’s time to make changes… improvements… transformations.
And we want to help.
On this episode we share with you the ONE thing you must do if you hope to successfully improve your life - especially your health - in the year 2022.
Interestingly, unlike most resolutions, this ONE thing has nothing to do with a change in your actions.
That is, it does NOT involve your diet or exercise programs.
Instead, it has to do with your mindset… the way you think.
Get this right and everything else will fall into place.
We also take a look at our 3 predictions for next year… the trends we believe we’ll see involving health and health-care in 2022.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 21:51 Our Biggest Takeaways From 2021
Merry Christmas!
This certainly is “the most wonderful time of the year.”
It’s also a good time to reflect on all we’ve learned this year… specifically with regard to health.
So that’s what we did.
We looked at all of this year’s podcast episodes and then chose the three topics we felt were most important.
Our biggest takeaways.
Not surprisingly, they were all related to Covid:
1) Vaccines did NOT stop the Coronavirus.
2) Effective treatments for Covid have been intentionally withheld.
3) The vaccine was NOT created for the virus… the virus was created for the vaccine.
Please give this episode a good listen as we have a lot to say about each of these takeaways.
Why they are important… and why they are true!
Also, THANK YOU for being a listener of the podcast.
Because of you, we are now ranked in the top 2.5% of ALL podcasts!
It’s true.
The Get Healthy Alabama podcast is more popular than 97.5% of all the podcasts in the world!
All because of you!
Thanks again and please keep listening and sharing this podcast with your family and friends.
We greatly appreciate it!
Merry Christmas!

Fear of not complying.
Again… what if FEAR is the pandemic?

Episode 21:49 Natural Treatments For COVID (Or Any One Of Its Variants)
There’s a reason you don’t hear about NATURAL treatments for COVID-19 or any one of its many variants.
And, the reason is NOT that they don't potentially exist... but that the “powers that be” don’t want you to know about them.
Why?
I’ll let you figure that part out for yourself :)
However, please know that there ARE natural remedies, including century old herbs, that may be extremely effective in helping individuals overcome COVID.
On this episode we discuss four of them:
1) Echinacea
2) Andrographis
3) Mushrooms
4) Wormwood
Each of these herbs have been extensively studied for years and are known to display powerful healing effects.
Can they possibly defeat COVID?
We think so!
Give this episode a good listen as it contains information you may find extremely beneficial.

Episode 21:48 The Immune Power Pack: How To Avoid Getting The Omicron Variant
You probably have heard about the new Coronavirus variant called Omicron.
You probably have also heard President Biden, and his chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, strongly recommend that you increase your intake of Vitamins C, D and Zinc to help prevent you from getting it.
Just kidding!!!
There’s no way our president and chief medical adviser would ever suggest anything that would actually help you strengthen your immune system.
But don’t worry… we’ve got you covered.
On this episode BetyLou Pierce and I provide you with four simple, yet powerful, strategies that are designed to help you avoid getting the Omicron variant.
How?
By boosting your immune system NATURALLY, without the use of dangerous drugs or vaccines.
Included in these four strategies is an “Immune Power Pack” that consists of four whole food nutritional supplements that costs less than two dollars per day!
Three of these supplements are Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc.
The fourth supplement is actually an herb we like to call “Nature’s Ivermectin.”
(It’s great!)
If you want to get through these next few months healthy and strong, be sure to give this episode a good listen.
You’ll not only learn the four strategies for avoiding the Omicron variant, you’ll discover the promising herb that should be on everyone’s “need to take” list.

Episode 21:47 Childhood Vaccines - What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You: An Interview With April Chapman
Imagine wanting to be the best parent you can be.
You spend countless hours reading and studying… gathering information so that you and your “soon to be born” son can be as healthy as possible.
Imagine that part of your studying includes educating yourself about vaccines.
Are they necessary?
Are they effective?
Are they safe?
Based upon your studies you conclude that children are given far too many vaccines and that your son will only receive the ones you did when you were a child.
You discuss it with your doctor and he assures you that all of the vaccines are safe.
You “trust your doctor” and your child begins to receive his vaccines “on schedule”… only something goes wrong. His health begins to decline. Milestones are missed. He's chronically sick. He begins suffering gut issues, food sensitivities, skin rashes, a runny nose, and behavioral problems. As a result, you make the decision - as he turns two - that he will not receive any additional vaccines. Now, imagine that you give birth to a second son.
He also receives his initial vaccines.
He also suffers a vaccine injury.
This time, however, it’s more neurological in nature.
Leg tremors, displaying as “mini seizures,” plague him, off and on, for hours at a time.
Not to mention incessant crying from nerve pain.
As a result, you make the decision - this time when your son is only two months old - that he will not receive any additional vaccines.
Finally, imagine that a couple of years later you give birth to twin girls.
Neither one receives any vaccines.
Neither one has ANY health problems... ever!
Coincidence?
I don’t think so.
Neither does April Chapman, the mother I am referring to in the above scenario… and our guest on this week’s episode.
Her story of the connection between vaccines and negative health outcomes is full of wisdom, insight, and tremendous information. Information you WON’T get from your pediatrician. Information regarding what she has done to help HEAL her sons. Information on the health and well-being of her children today at ages 13, 11 and 9 (they’re beautiful!). Give this episode a good listen and then PLEASE share it with a friend.
Especially those with children :)

Episode 21:46 Have Medical “Treatments” Killed More People Than The Virus?
Sometimes, a question can be more important than an answer.
This is one of those times.
That is, as a society there is a question we MUST start asking:
Have Medical “Treatments” Killed More People Than The Virus?
We most likely will never know the answer.
However, we MUST start asking the question.
Why?
Because people have died - and continue to die - FROM the treatment provided in hospitals for COVID19.
It’s horrifying.
In addition, we MUST also start asking…
1) Why have effective treatments for COVID-19 been withheld?
2) Why have harmful treatments have been allowed… and continue to be recommended?
The answers to these questions ARE available… they just aren’t being revealed.
Why?
Because they don’t paint a pretty picture for some of our federal agencies.
On this episode we dive into these questions and reveal the shocking truths behind their answers.
In addition, we share some important resources that you can use to further educate yourself and your family.
Resources from DOCTORS who have experience TREATING patients with COVID-19… not politicians pushing agendas.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 21:45 What To Say When Asked About Your Vaccine Status
Like millions of others, you may not feel comfortable answering questions regarding your vaccine status.
To begin with, YOUR personal health choices are really none of anyone’s business.
Not to mention, the person asking oftentimes isn’t coming from a place of concern… they’re just looking to stir up controversy.
If you can relate, don’t worry.
On this episode we share with you HOW to respond when asked about your vaccine status.
Specifically, we teach you how to “turn the tables” by asking three questions of your own.
Warning!
These three questions are designed to get a person to THINK so they might not be applicable in all situations :)
Also, to be fully transparent, this episode is aimed at helping the person who believes getting a vaccine should be a personal choice.
However, our discussion regarding the three questions is information that EVERYONE, regardless of vaccination status, should know as it sheds light on many aspects of this current pandemic.
Give this episode a good listen and, when you’re done, share it with a friend… and then be ready for a conversation.
Thanks!

Episode 21:44 Fiber… Insulin Resistance… and How To Lose 100lbs Without Dieting
Two weeks ago we had Coach Sam Shelton on for an episode about nutrition.
The response was overwhelming!
People loved his “no-nonsense” approach to health and eating right.
They also loved that he wasn’t “selling” anything… just sharing some of the incredible knowledge he has gained after spending hour upon hour studying health and nutrition.
Today, Coach is back to share more.
Specifically, he talks to us about:
1) The importance of fiber (and why he eats over 100 grams of it per day!)
2) The dangers associated with Insulin Resistance (it is involved with EVERY major disease)
3) How his Mom lost over 100 lbs THIS year.
Fiber. Insulin Resistance. Weight Loss.
These are the KEYS to living a happy and healthy life.
And, they are explained beautifully on this episode.
Enjoy!

He loves his job and has performed it faithfully for over 10 years.
Joe gets along well with all of co-workers and his supervisor consistently gives his work performance high reviews.
Unfortunately, as of October 27, 2021 Joe will no longer be able to work at his current job.
NOT because he doesn’t want to.
NOT because his work performance has suffered.
NOT because his supervisor and co-workers want to get rid of him.
NOT because his company is experiencing financial difficulties.
Instead, Joe will no longer be able to work at his job because he has chosen NOT to get the Covid vaccine.
No longer able to support his wife and children, nor provide them with health insurance, because of a decision he should have every right to make.
Let me say that again:
Joe - a hard working, healthy man - will no longer be able to work at the job he has performed flawlessly for over ten years simply because he has chosen NOT to get the Covid vaccine.
That’s ridiculous.
But it’s true.
You see, Joe works at Austal, a ship building company located in Mobile, Alabama.
And, since Austal has contracts to do work for the Federal Government, they are being mandated to have all their workers vaccinated.
This Federal mandate is not only an overreach of authority, it applies to individuals such as Joe, who ALREADY have had COVID-19 and, as such, HAVE a natural immunity against the virus.
But the Federal Government doesn’t care.
They want to force Joe, and millions of other Americans like Joe, to get the COVID vaccine AGAINST THEIR WILL.
It is, in my opinion, a form of tyranny.
Fortunately, there are groups of individuals throughout the country fighting back.
People defending the rights of Americans to choose what they feel is best for their health.
One such group is Health Freedom Alabama.
Health Freedom Alabama is made up of individuals who are standing up for the rights of ALL Alabamians with regard to medical freedom.
To this end, they have put together a bill, HB31, that fights back against vaccine mandates.
A bill designed to protect hard-working individuals like Joe from being unfairly discriminated against.
On this episode we sit down with Stephanie Durnin, the co-founder of Health Freedom Alabama and let her explain to us what HB31 is… how it came about… WHY it is so important… and what WE can do, as citizens, to help make it a law.
PLEASE give this episode a good listen and, when you’re done, be sure to take action!

Episode 21:42 How To Look Good, Feel Good, And Perform Your Best At Any Age: An Interview With 50 Year Old Sam Shelton
I (Dr. George Burroughs) have known “Coach” Sam Shelton - pictured above with his beautiful daughter Sloane - for many years.
And, for as long as I’ve known him, he’s always been in good shape.
However, when I recently saw him, I immediately knew something was different.
He looked better than ever.
Healthier, happier, leaner.
I was shocked… in a good way.
You see, as I said earlier, Sam had always been in good shape.
However, standing before me was a man who had obviously taken his health to a new level.
Needless to say, I wanted to know his secret.
I wanted to know what he had been doing… or what he had been taking… to get his body, at age 50, in the best shape of his life.
(Yes, this guy is 50 years old.)
On this episode “Coach” Sam Shelton sits down with us and shares what he’s learned… and what he’s done… over the past 19 months to take his health to a whole new level.
You’re going to love what you hear!

Episode 21:41 The Number One Nutritional Problem In America Today
Americans, as a whole, eat far too much “junk” food.
Food that has little to no nutritional value… and contributes to a number of chronic diseases.
However, of all the “junk” food that people ingest, none is worse - or more popular - than sugar.
On this episode we take a good look at sugar:
What it is, where it comes from, why it is so damaging, and how it became so popular.
We also discuss:
-
The two most common types of sugar.
-
The important differences between sucrose (table sugar) and high fructose corn syrup.
-
How several of the major chronic diseases that plague our country can be traced back to too much sugar.
-
A simple blood test to measure the impact of fructose on the body.
-
Why you shouldn’t eat fruit in the winter.
Give this episode a good listen as it is vitally important to learn the “not so sweet” truth about one of America’s favorite nutrients.

Episode 21:40 What’s Wrong With This Picture?
Do me a favor and take a look at the picture that accompanies this episode.
It’s a picture of my (Dr. George Burroughs) first grade class from approximately 50 years ago.
Notice how many students there are:
Forty-five.
Then notice how many teachers there are:
One.
Yes, one teacher, Mrs. Manco, with 45 first graders (I’m the handsome kid standing right in front of her.)
Now, answer me this question:
What’s wrong with this picture?
The answer, of course, is NOTHING.
Nothing is wrong with this picture.
What’s WRONG is the health of today’s children.
Let me explain:
Having 45 students in a first grade class with just one teacher would be unheard of today.
Fifty years ago it was normal.
Today, those 45 students would be split up into two… possible three classes.
Here’s another thing:
If for some reason there was a class of 45 first graders today, there certainly would be a “teachers aide” assigned to help the teacher.
Not back then.
Nor was there any “special ed” classes or teachers.
Heck, we didn’t even have a school nurse… despite having nearly 700 students at the school.
And, with the exception of possibly one student who may have had asthma (I’m not sure), no one in my class required a daily medication of any kind.
To repeat: 45 kids in a first grade class with just one teacher… and we had NO problems.
On top of that we were extremely healthy, well behaved, and intelligent.
However, please don’t think I’m bragging on myself or my classmates.
I’m not.
You see, most classrooms were similar to this back then.
It’s true.
Fifty years ago it was common to see large classrooms filled with healthy kids... all fully capable of learning.
Not today.
Today it would be considered criminal to fill a first grade classroom with 45 kids and only one teacher.
Why?
Because kids today aren’t nearly as healthy as they were fifty years ago and, for many of them, learning is a challenge.
For this reason nurses and special education services are a necessity today in schools.
To be clear, I am NOT bringing all of this up to belittle the students of today.
Instead, I'm bringing it up so that we can ask a very important question:
WHAT HAS HAPPENED???
That is, what has happened in the past 50 years that has resulted in today’s children being less healthy and less able to be educated in a typical classroom setting?
On this episode we explore four specific changes in American culture have had a tremendous NEGATIVE impact on the physical and mental health of our society… especially our children.
More importantly, we explore what can be done to correct it.
Please give this a good listen and then share it with anyone you know that has kids… or cares about kids.
Thanks!

Episode 21:39 The Only 3 Supplements Everyone Needs
When it comes to nutritional supplements, most people know they need them.
That is, most people know that the Standard American Diet (which is abbreviated SAD) doesn’t provide them with enough of the nutrients they need… the nutrients their body requires to function optimally.
The problem is that most people don’t know WHICH supplements they need… WHICH supplements will actually help them strengthen their body and build their health.
To add to the confusion, misinformation about supplements abounds.
For example, people will often read about a supplement - or hear about it on a podcast or TV show - and become convinced they need it.
They will then go out and buy it… only to discover that it doesn’t live up to its hype.
As a result, the supplement ends up being place in a cabinet alongside a collection of many other “sounded good at the time” supplements.
If this sounds familiar, then we’ve got good news:
On this episode we help get rid of some of the confusion.
Specifically, we discuss the three supplements we believe everyone needs and would benefit from.
Three supplements that will provide your body with an abundance of nutrients, thereby eliminating the need for many other supplements..
What are these supplements?
1) A Multi-Vitamin
2) A Multi-Mineral
3) An Essential Fatty Acid
Taking these three supplements - or should I say taking the RIGHT type of each of these three supplements - will go a long way towards meeting the BASIC nutritional needs of your body.
So, how do you know if you’re taking the RIGHT type of each of these three supplements?
That’s a great question!
It’s also one we answer on this episode.
Give this one a good listen as the information can go along way towards improving your health.
And, when you’re done, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 21:38 Ten Lessons Learned About COVID, And People, After Driving 3,000 Miles
If you are a regular listener to this podcast, you know that I, Dr. George Burroughs, grew up in New York City and still have family in the area… most notably my Mom.
Typically, I try to get up there twice per year to visit but haven’t been able to since BEFORE this pandemic began in early 2020.
That changed last week.
I decided to take some time off from work so I could visit my Mom.
I also decided that I was going to DRIVE (from Alabama) instead of fly.
Needless to say, the trip was long but it was also quite rewarding as I learned a lot about people, places and things.
Most of what I learned was extremely “positive”, which, to be honest, surprised me.
Of course, there were some “negative” lessons as well.
Overall, I came up with TEN lessons… lessons that I wanted to share with you:
Connecting dots
The road less travelled
Opportunity knocks
Cities have personalities
Never forget
Silver and Gold
Nightmares
“You Better Stop”
My prediction
Finding your new home
Each lesson is short and, if you listen to all ten, I’m sure you’ll find several of them to be quite interesting.
Give this episode a good listen as there is truly “something for everyone.”
Then, please be kind enough to share it with a friend.

Episode 21:37 It Has Never Been About The Virus
What if this current pandemic is actually more of a PLANdemic?
That is, what if all that we have been going through has had more to do with a plan to implement a vaccine... and less with treating a virus?
In other words, what if this pandemic is NOT about the Coronavirus?
What if it’s NOT about COVID?
What if it’s NOT about your health?
What if it’s a PLANdemic?
What if it’s about getting people to receive a mRNA vaccine?
Yes, we know that sounds crazy.
But is it?
What if we’re right?
What if, all along, the PLAN has been to get this vaccine into as many Americans as possible?
HOW would they implement such a plan?
THAT is what we talk about on this episode.
Specifically, we discuss the three step plan we believe has been set in motion to get as many people as possible to receive the vaccine.
We trust you'll find this information incredibly interesting :)

Episode 21:36 Two Questions: “Was The Coronavirus Engineered In A Lab?” - - “Are Hospitals Properly Treating COVID?”
From Day One, there have been a lot of people questioning whether this Coronavirus was something that had developed naturally… or was somehow engineered in a lab?
Unfortunately, there was no way to know. Until now.
Information has surfaced in recent months that make it pretty clear that this Coronavirus was altered and engineered in a lab in Wuhan, China.
Specifically, there was something called “Gain-Of-Function” research being done that may have made this Coronavirus more lethal and contagious than it should have been.
To make matters worse, this “research” appears to be funded by OUR taxpayers money.
So, why haven’t we been told about this?
Great question!
One we address - along with all you need to know about Gain-Of-Function research - on this episode.
We also address another pressing question:
“Are Hospitals Properly Treating COVID?”
The short answer is “NO.”
At least not in our eyes.
It seems that treatment protocols that do NOT work well are being promoted while proven treatments are being ignored… and censured.
Why???
We take a long, hard look at how poorly the medical profession has done during this pandemic… and why.
Give this episode a good listen as it is both timely and important.
Then please be kind enough to share it with a friend :)

Episode 21:35 Here’s What’s Wrong With Your Vitamin C
There’s a problem with most nutritional supplements being sold today.
Especially those that are vitamins.
For example, vitamin C.
To sell a Vitamin C supplement, a manufacturer only has to include ONE component of “real” Vitamin C.
Just one component of the “complex” of nutrients that comprise Vitamin C in nature.
That one component is Ascorbic Acid.
Make Ascorbic Acid and you can sell it as Vitamin C.
Here’s the problem:
NOWHERE in nature does Ascorbic Acid exist by itself.
Not in any fruit… nor in any vegetable.
Instead, Ascorbic Acid is ALWAYS surrounded by “co-factors”… nutrients such as bioflavonoids, antioxidants and enzymes.
The COMBINATION of these nutrients is what makes Vitamin C effective… NOT simply Ascorbic Acid by itself.
Unfortunately, most supplement companies don’t care about that so they take the easy way out.
They hire a manufacturing plant (most likely in China) to synthetically produce Ascorbic Acid from petroleum and GMO corn.
Yuck.
Not to mention that this so-called Vitamin C is void of its vital co-factors.
And its effectiveness.
Listen to this episode and learn WHY your body doesn’t need what is currently being sold by most supplement companies:
1000mg, or more, of Vitamin C in the form of Ascorbic Acid.
A much better supplement would be one that provides a fraction of that amount of Ascorbic Acid... surrounded by its co-factors.
And…
The ONLY way to do that - the only way to provide REAL Vitamin C as a “Complex” - is by making the supplement from “whole foods.”
The way companies like Standard Process do.
One more thing:
This principle of “Vitamin Complexes” being more effective than ONE isolated component applies to ALL vitamins and minerals.
That is, vitamin and mineral supplements are much more powerful when they are derived from WHOLE FOODS and not synthetically made in a lab.
Understanding this information will change the way you look at, and take, supplements forever.

Episode 21:34 Happy Birthday BetyLou - Reflections On 80 Years Of Healthy Living
This week marks the 80th birthday of “Alabama’s nutritional genius… the one and only BetyLou Pierce.”
On this episode we not only honor BetyLou we get her to share her wisdom on how to live a long, happy and healthy life.
Specifically, BetyLou goes into detail regarding the Physical, Nutritional, and Emotional/Spiritual strategies she employs that have kept her vibrant, strong and fully active at 80.
In fact, over the past 40 years, these strategies have helped her avoid taking any prescriptive drugs… or even visiting a medical doctor.
That’s amazing!
So, what are her secret strategies?
They’re all laid out in this episode.
In fact, you might say that this information is more valuable than anything you could learn at medical school or in a graduate level course.
It’s that good!!!
Be sure to take notes while you listen and, when you’re done, share this episode with a friend.

Episode 21:33 - Questions Regarding… Hydroxychlorquine, Ivermectin, Azithromycin, Budesonide, and Monoclonal Antibody Infusions
Knowledge is power.
So powerful, it can save your life.
Never has this been more true with than with the current treatment of severe Covid cases.
You see, research is suggesting that the best treatments for Covid may NOT be the ones you are being offered at your local hospital.
Yet, most people don't know that.
Why not?
(The answer will make you mad)
More importantly...
WHAT are these treatments?
On this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast (now available!) we answer that question.
Specifically we discuss the following five potential treatments for Covid:
1) Hydroxychloroquine
2) Ivermectin
3) Azithromycin
4) Budesonide
5) Monoclonal Antibody Infusions
Learning about these treatments gives you knowledge... and power.
Power to help you become an active participant should you or a loved one require medical care for Covid.
Power that may save a life!

Episode 21:32 - What I Would Do If I Got Covid
The sudden surge in Covid cases has caused a lot of people to ask…
“What can I take to overcome Covid?”
On this week’s episode we answer that question.
Sort of.
You see, we don’t actually believe in “treating” Covid.
Instead, we believe in doing things to strengthen the Immune System so IT can “treat” Covid.
For example, one of the supplements we would take is Vitamin C.
However, we would NOT take Vitamin C to “treat” Covid… we would take it to nourish and strengthen our Immune System so IT could treat Covid.
Speaking of Vitamin C, it is just a PART of one of the seven strategies we would implement if we had Covid.
All seven are things we would start doing the moment we felt sick.

Episode 21:31 - The Current Covid Crisis
Things seemed to be going pretty good regarding the Covid pandemic.
Cases and deaths were down… mandates were lifted… and the world was getting back to some sense of “normal.”

Hard, and with a lot of controversy.
On this episode we get into the details behind this current crisis.
Specifically…
1) What may have caused it?
2) Is it truly a variant?
3) Who is most likely to get it?
4) How to overcome it?
These are some really good questions… and we provide some really good answers.
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.

Episode 21:30 - The Effect Of Vaccines On Your Body’s TWO Immune Systems
As you know, from listening to last week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast, your body has TWO Immune Systems:
The Cell Mediated Immune System and The Humoral Immune System.
Working together, these two Immune Systems keep you healthy and safe from pathogens (bacteria and viruses).
This week's episode focuses on the impact that vaccines have on these two Immune Systems.
And, believe it or not, the answer is actually quite simple:
Vaccines SILENCE the Cell Mediated Immune System and ACTIVATE the Humoral Immune System.
It really is that easy.
Well, at least it SOUNDS easy.
The truth is this:
Understanding what it means to SILENCE the Cell Mediated Immune System and ACTIVATE the Humoral Immune System will take a little work.
But don’t worry… that’s what this episode is for.
In fact, by the time you’re done listening to this episode, you’re not only going to understand the effect vaccines have on your your TWO Immune Systems, you’re going to understand the effect they have on your overall health.
In addition, you will be truly informed when it comes to vaccines, allowing you to make educated decisions when it comes to whether or not you should get them.
One more thing:
Because this information is so important, there is a video that goes with it.
Get the video by visiting GetHealthyAlabama.com/21-30

Episode 21:29 - Understanding Your Body’s TWO Immune Systems
It seems that EVERYONE has an opinion regarding the Covid vaccine.
That’s fine.
What’s troublesome is the lack of "reason" supporting their decision… whether “for” or “against” the vaccine.
For example, very, very few individuals can answer this one basic question:
“What effect does the vaccine have on the TWO Immune Systems of your body?”
Don’t feel bad if you can’t answer this question because, up to now, no one has taken the time to teach you the answer.
Not your doctor.
Not your nurse.
And certainly not any of the so-called “health experts” or government officials on TV.
Well, today that’s going to change.
On this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast (available today!) we are going to PREPARE you to answer that question.
Yes, “prepare” you.
You see, before you can understand the effect a vaccine has on the TWO Immune Systems of your body, you first must know something about these TWO Immune Systems.
That's where this week's episode comes into play.
On this episode you’ll learn the primary role of each Immune System AND how they work together to keep you healthy and safe.
That will then "prepare" you to answer the question asked earlier:
“What effect does the vaccine have on the TWO Immune Systems of your body?”
This question, and its answer, will be the topic of next week’s episode.
For now, listen to this episode and share it with a friend.
It's really, really important that you "get" this.
In fact, this information is so important, that I included a short, five-minute video (at GetHealthyAlabama.com/21-29) to go with it... a video you don't want to miss.
I also included a one-page chart you can print out that summarizes the functions of your TWO Immune Systems.

Episode 21:28 - Whether You Believe It Or Not, You ARE A Bodybuilder - An Interview With Lane Jones
You may not realize it, but you ARE a bodybuilder.
Perhaps not a “competitive” one, but you ARE, everyday, “building your body.”
The type of body you are building is based upon the type of decisions you make.
That is, you’re either “building” a healthy body… or an unhealthy one.
This fascinating truth is one of the driving forces behind Lane Jones’ work as a competitive bodybuilder AND as the owner of Lane’s Rock Solid Fitness in Citronelle, Alabama.
Since the time he was 12 and went to see “Rocky”, Lane has been committed to building his body and his health through physical activity.
In the years that followed, Lane maintained his passion for working out while also acquiring a desire to follow in his parents footsteps by becoming a school teacher… a job he has done for the past thirty years.
About ten years ago, Lane decided to combine these two passions by opening his own gym… the aforementioned Lane’s Rock Solid Fitness.
In his gym, Lane teaches people how to workout safely and strategically so that they can “Get Healthy” while creating the body of their dreams.
Like any good teacher, Lane knows the value of learning. To that end, he has invested his time and resources in educating himself the best he can regarding exercise and nutrition.
However, unlike so many “health coaches” and “personal trainers”, Lane didn’t get his information solely from some on-line courses.
Instead, he went to THE BEST… as in a few of the BEST bodybuilders of all-time: Eight time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney, the legendary Frank Zane, and former Mr. World Steve Davis.
Picking the brains of these brilliant men has enabled Lane to become a better bodybuilder (at age 53!) AND a better trainer for his gym members.
On this episode, Lane shares some of his vast knowledge with us… and he does so with an engaging style, along with a voice that sounds just like Matthew McConaughey, lol.
If you want to build a better body this episode is for you!

Episode 21:27 - Words Of Wisdom From The Amazing BetyLou Pierce
With over forty years experience as a nutritionist, BetyLou Pierce is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to natural health and healing.
On this episode she shares some of that knowledge with us.
Specifically, she covers four topics:
1) How the body can heal itself.
2) Why being healthy doesn’t mean you never get sick.
3) The power of listening to your body.
4) Supplements: WHAT to take and WHEN.
What’s most impressive about BetyLou is that, although she has worked and/or owned a health food store for over forty years, she refuses to treat every health problem with a supplement.
That is, instead of suggesting a supplement or two (or three or four) to her customers as a treatment, she first tries to talk to them about their diet.
About what may be CAUSING their problem.
How many health food stores do that?
Seriously.
If she wanted to, BetyLou could suggest bottle after bottle of supplements to her customers.
And they’d buy them!
However, she doesn’t believe in the “a pill for every ill” mindset… even if it is a vitamin or herb.
Instead, she believes that the human body can heal itself IF it receives the nutrition it needs from your diet.
Of course, supplements help… but only as a "supplement" to the improvements you make to your diet.
Give this episode a good listen as BetyLou goes deep into these topics and provides practical steps you can take to help your body heal itself.
And, when you're done, share this episode with a friend :)

Episode 21:26 - Saying Good-Bye To Depression, High Blood Pressure and Low Self Esteem: The Amazing Story of Patty Leonard
After living through a brain aneurysm, Patty Leonard knew that her health was a mess.
Severe depression and high blood pressure were only two of the conditions she battled with.
The treatments offered to her consisted of pharmaceutical drugs only.
NOT to correct her problems… but to “manage” them.
That didn’t sit well with Patty.
She wanted more.
She wanted her body to heal.
Knowing that “popping pills” would never heal her, Patty sought after a more natural approach.
An approach based upon the belief that the body CAN heal itself.
An approach that addressed her Physically, Nutritionally and Emotionally.
Fortunately, she found what she was looking for!
And her body DID heal itself!
On this episode, Patty shares her amazing health journey.
A journey that has allowed her to get off her antidepressants… get off her blood pressure medicines… and has left her in the best shape of her life at age 53.
Learn all about the strategies Patty employed, including a powerful emotional and spiritual breakthrough she recently experienced.
Then, do someone you love a favor and share the episode with them :)

Episode 21:25 - How Anedra Brown lost 99 pounds: Diet, Exercise… and Dealing with Emotional Trauma
Back at the beginning of this year (2021) we recorded an episode with Anedra Brown called “How To Lose 67 Pounds Without Even Trying.”
It was very well received.
Since that time, Anedra has continued to lose weight… still without trying.
To date, she has lost a total of 99 pounds.
Her secret?
She focuses solely on Getting Healthy!
That is, she does NOT try to lose weight. Instead, she focuses her efforts on Getting Healthy!
As a result, the healthier she gets, the more weight she loses.
This “program” has worked really well for her… until recently.
Seems like her health improvements, and weight loss, have stalled.
This puzzled Anedra as she knew she still had a long way to go on her health journey.
She also knew that she was doing everything right, such as:
Avoiding bad foods while eating healthy ones, taking whole-food supplements, exercising, and taking time each day to “SEE” herself healthy.
However, despite her best efforts, nothing seemed to help.
her progress had come to a halt.
Then, one day, it hit her.
The weight she was at now was the same weight she was at in 2014.
Why is that significant?
Because in 2014 Anedra experienced an emotional trauma.
An emotional trauma that she responded to by putting on weight.
An emotional trauma that she had never fully dealt with.
An emotional trauma that wouldn’t let her continue on her path to better health.
Anedra realized all of this and decided to do something about it.
Specifically, she decided to DEAL with the emotional trauma she experienced seven years ago.
She did… and her body responded by dropping 9 pounds in two days!
Yes… nine pounds in two days.
Her health progress is no longer stalled.
Best of all, she’s not done yet.
Learn more about Anedra and her story by giving this episode a good listen.
She talks about the emotional trauma and how she dealt with it.
Her story will teach you, inspire you… and give you some ideas on how to advance on your health journey.

Episode 21:24 - The “Eat Whatever You Want” Diet
At first glance the title of this week’s episode sounds ridiculous.
After all, how can anyone recommend a “Eat Whatever You Want” diet?
It’s easy.
You see, unlike thousands of other books and podcasts about diet, the focus of the “Eat Whatever You Want” diet is NOT on what you eat.
The focus is on what you WANT.
Let me explain:
The co-host of this podcast, BetyLou Pierce, places a high value on being healthy.
Always has and always will.
For that reason, she follows a vegan diet that is free of sugar, processed foods and meat.
NOT because she has to… but because she WANTS to.
That is, she “Eats Whatever She WANTS.”
To be clear, what she wants is not necessarily what you may want… and that’s okay.
In fact, many people feel that BetyLou’s diet is strict and hard to follow.
However, to BetyLou it’s not.
Why?
Because she WANTS to look and feel good… and following a vegan diet helps her do that.
The message is simple:
Stop worrying about what you should and shouldn’t eat.
Instead, focus on what you WANT regarding your health.
That is, create a clear image regarding how you want to look, how you want to feel, and how you want to perform.
The more “real” those images are to you, and the stronger your desire to see them become a reality in your life, the easier it will become to follow a corresponding nutrition plan.
So…
Do you want to be healthier?
Give this episode a good listen and you will learn that the key to getting healthier is to focus less on what you eat… and more on what you WANT!

Episode 21:23 - How To Smash Limiting Beliefs
On last week’s episode we talked about how your Behaviors create the Results you get in life...
And how your Behaviors are dictated by your Beliefs.
Specifically, we talked about how “Limiting Beliefs” are THE primary reason you aren’t achieving the success you desire in your life… be it in your Health, your Finances or your Relationships.
On today’s episode we talk about things you can do to SMASH those Limiting Beliefs.
Seven strategies that will help you eliminate Limiting Beliefs and replace them with Beliefs that are congruent with the success you desire.
You really don’t want to miss this episode… especially if you’re one of those people who does a great job at “getting started” towards a goal but then struggles “sticking to the plan.”
Or, if you do really well for a while, only to then do something that “sabotages” your efforts.
This is also a great episode for anyone interested in the Mind - Body connection.
Now that I think about it, this episode is really good for everyone.
There is, however, one precaution:
We reveal, in the first minute, a “technical difficulty” that could have really messed things up.
However, we have a “Belief” system that focuses on turning “failures” into “lessons”… which is what we did :)

Episode 21:22 - Why Most People Don’t Achieve Their Goals… And How To Correct It
On last week’s episode we shared ideas regarding “How To Have Your BEST Summer Ever.”
Specifically we suggested living WITH nature, instead of in opposition to it, during the 99 Days of Summer (Memorial Day through Labor Day.)
We also, in our daily emails, encouraged people to set goals for the summer:
1) Health Goals
2) Financial Goals
3) Relationship Goals
(Want to get our emails? Sign up for the “Symptom Survey” at GetHealthyAlabama.com)
Setting goals is powerful… and setting goals in each of the three areas mentioned above is a really good idea.
Unfortunately, studies show that the overwhelming majority of people do NOT achieve their goals.
The problem is NOT with the actual goals.
Nor is it with identifying the actions necessary to achieve those goals.
The real problem is that deep down we don’t BELIEVE that we deserve to achieve our goals.
Somewhere in our subconscious mind is a voice telling us that we’re not good enough to be successful.
As a result we sabotage our efforts.
On this episode we take a deep dive into WHY this happens.
WHY our subconscious mind holds us back from reaching our goals.
More importantly, we discuss HOW to change this.
Information you MUST know if you truly want to be successful.
Give this a good listen… and let this truly be your BEST summer ever.

Episode 21:21 - How To Have Your BEST Summer Ever
We want you to have a wonderful summer… your best ever.
How?
By learning how to live WITH nature, not in opposition to it.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done.
You see, we have allowed society to dictate our behaviors… behaviors that go against nature and are NOT good for our health.
For example…
Why do we go to bed so late?
Because we have been trained to.
The truth is, if you live in the United States and have a daytime job, there is no reason to go to bed after 10 o’clock.
Likewise, there is no reason to wake up after six in the morning.
Yet few people get up before then… even though watching the sunrise each morning carries with it some amazing health benefits!
Then there’s our diets… another area in which we don’t live WITH nature.
We eat foods that are not part of God’s natural design.
Processed foods that we know aren't good for us… filled with sugar and chemicals.
We should know better.
We should do better.
These two areas alone - our relationship with the sun and with food - play a huge role in our health.
In fact, almost EVERY chronic disease is connected, in some way, to our inability to live WITH nature in these two areas.
Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Obesity… the list goes on and on.
But that can change.
We can make up our minds to live WITH nature this summer.
To use these 99 days of summer to cultivate some incredible, healthy habits.
Here’s a few suggestions to get you started:
- Write one letter each week.
- Read one book a week.
- Eat some fruit every day.
- Eat vegetables every day.
- Cut out sugar, wheat, and gluten.
- Commit to taking whole food nutritional supplements.
- Wake up with the sunrise.
- Go to bed by 10 P.M.
- Keep your home dark after 8 P.M.
- Don’t eat after 7 P.M.
- Pray daily.
- Journal daily.
- Practice “Grounding” daily.
- Get a suntan (prepare for next winter).
- Watch the sunset.
- Eat from the colors of the rainbow daily.
- Go to the beach, the mountains, or hiking trails.
- Have fun. Smile. Enjoy life.
- Spend time with family and friends.
Here's the bottom line:
1) The key to good health is to live WITH nature, not in opposition to it.
2) Getting healthy is about progress, not perfection.
Make this your BEST summer ever!!!

Episode 21:20 - The Doctor of the Future
Suppose you go to a doctor, seeking relief from some symptoms or disease that you’ve been battling.
The doctor asks you questions… runs some tests… and then writes you a prescription for some pharmaceutical drugs.
Sound familiar?
It should because that’s exactly what happens in thousands of doctors offices throughout the country every single day.
And, for many people, that’s precisely what they want.
But not everyone.
You see, there are thousands, even millions, of individuals who no longer want their problems treated with pharmaceutical drugs.
Instead, they want something that doesn’t carry with it negative side effects. Something more natural like an herb or vitamins.
These individuals, and the doctors who cater to them, a part of the FUTURE of medicine.
A future that places much more emphasis on natural treatments.
However, treating conditions naturally, instead of through pharmaceutical drugs, is only part of the future of healthcare… only a part of what the doctor the future will offer.
In the future, doctors will also focus on identifying and correcting the CAUSE of health problems.
Needless to say, not all doctors in the future will be this way.
Some will choose to stay “stuck” in the traditional model that is commonly practiced today… and that’s okay.
This episode is for those doctors and patients who will embrace the new model of health care.
A “holistic” model that doesn’t look at symptoms as “entities that need to be treated” but as “signals that need to be paid attention to.”
Give this episode a good listen.
You'll not only learn about the future of healthcare... you'll gain insight into one of the most common CAUSES of health problems.
A cause that most doctors miss… but the doctor of the future won’t :)

Episode 21:19 - The Original Multivitamin
If you are one of those individuals who would prefer a “natural” solution for a health problem over a prescriptive drug…
Then this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast is for you.
And, if you would not only prefer a “natural” solution but would also like to identify and correct the CAUSE of a health problem…
Then this episode is definitely for you!
Why?
Because on this episode we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) discuss a “multivitamin supplement” that has been proven to…
-
Reduce cancer risk
-
Normalize blood pressure
-
Enhance mood
-
Prevent Alzheimer’s
-
Lower elevated blood sugar
-
Improve metabolism
-
Boost Immune function
Read that again and be sure to appreciate the impact this “multivitamin” has on your health… and how it protects you against the top killers of our day.
It’s truly amazing!
Now, let me share something with you.
What I’m talking about is actually not a “multivitamin supplement” in the traditional sense.
Instead, it’s SUNLIGHT!
You see, just as a “nutritional” supplement provides your body with health benefits via protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients… the SUN provide health benefits through its ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, and visible light rays.
Yes, the sun provides health benefits in much the same way that food does… and perhaps even more so!
Unfortunately, over 90% of Americans appear to be “malnourished” when it comes to the rays of the sun… helping to contribute to the rise of obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
This has to be corrected.
This CAN be corrected!
And a good place to start is with this episode.
You'll learn about the health benefits of the sun, including its connection with the “melanocortin system” which has been shown to help people LOSE WEIGHT and DECREASE APPETITE.
After listening, please be sure to share this episode with a friend :)

Episode 21:18 - What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know About Viruses, The Immune System, And Vaccines
By now, most people have made their decision regarding the Covid-19 vaccine.
They’re either getting it or not getting it.
So, with this in mind we decided to do one last episode about the pandemic… an episode that tells you the most important thing you need to know about:
Viruses
The Immune System
Vaccines
That is, we share with you ONE very important fact about each of those topics.
This is information we feel you really need to know.
It is also information that most doctors DON’T know.
And THAT is a problem.
It’s a problem because so much of what has transpired this past year has been based on ignorance.
And we don’t want you to be ignorant.
In fact, it is our hope that you take what you learn from this episode and share it with everyone you know.
(Remember it’s only ONE thing about three topics)
Will it change the world?
I don’t know.
But it will change YOUR world!
Give this episode a good listen and then share it with your family and friends.
Or, at the very least, quiz them about it :)

Episode 21:17 - Why Healthy People Are Moving South
I was born and raised in the greatest city in the world:
New York!
I loved growing up there and, given the opportunity, wouldn’t change a thing.
Unfortunately, the New York of my childhood is NOT the same New York that exists today.
Today, New York is just a shell of its former self.
It’s sad.
It also doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better… at least not any time soon.
On this episode, BetyLou and I talk about the changes that have occurred in New York.
Specifically, we look at HOW these changes are being implemented... WHY they are being implemented... and the affect they have on EVERY American.
We also examine why so many people in states like New York are leaving and heading South… and it’s not just for the warmer weather.
(Hint: there is only ONE reason… and it’s a reason you really need to be familiar with)
We also talk about…
1) The three step strategy used to “control” people that has been implemented… and is working like a charm.
2) The NON health-related reasons why people are getting the vaccine
Give this episode a good listen as it has the potential to not only impact your health today… but for YEARS to come.

Episode 21:16 - Facts About The Vaccine You Should Know… But Haven’t Been Told
Did you know that there is no such thing as a Coronavirus vaccine?
It is a COVID vaccine.
What’s the difference?
The Coronavirus is the Virus… and there is NO vaccine that can stop you from GETTING the Coronavirus.
Covid, on the other hand, is NOT the virus.
Covid is the name given to the sickness that SOME people get from the Coronavirus.
The vaccine is aimed at diminishing the severity of these symptoms.
Again, the Covid vaccine does NOT prevent a person from getting the Coronavirus… it merely tries to lessen the severity of symptoms.
So, does the Covid vaccine prevent the most important "symptom"... death?
NO!!!
Not one death has been shown to be prevented by the Covid vaccine.
But haven’t people died from the Coronavirus?
Yes, but the vaccine has NOT been proven effective at preventing death from the Coronavirus.
Since the vaccine doesn’t prevent deaths, shouldn’t efforts be made to identify and protect those individuals who are most at risk?
Yes… but NOT by forcing a vaccine on everyone.
Remember the vaccine does NOT prevent a person from getting the Coronavirus.
Nor does it prevent a person from DYING from it.
At best, it lessens the severity of symptoms one may get.
And… it does that at a cost.
Side-effects. Including death!!!
To date, over 3000 Americans deaths have been reported as vaccine related… not to mention the hundreds of heart attacks and strokes.
So how DO we identify those individuals who are most at risk… and, more importantly, how do we protect them?
THAT’S what we talk about on this episode.
That… and so much more.
Including:
- The role of the vaccine
- The good and bad of wearing a mask
- How to minimize your risk of getting Covid
- The benefits versus the risks of the vaccine
- Are vaccine passports in our future?
Give this episode (released today!) a good listen as this is information everyone should know and understand.

Episode 21:15 - The Best Breakfast?
On last week’s episode (21-14) we discussed the importance of having a “morning routine.”
Particular emphasis was placed on how starting your day right can go a long way towards steering you towards success and good health.
Several “activities” were shared… activities that will help make your mornings better.
However, there was one activity mentioned that we really didn’t describe in any depth:
Breakfast.
Breakfast is such an important morning activity that it necessitates having its own episode.
This one!
Our focus is on tackling the decades old question…
“What constitutes the BEST breakfast?”
It’s a great question.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a simple answer.
You see, the breakfast that is good for YOU may NOT be good for me.
And vice versa.
Throw in the fact that, for some people, NO breakfast is the “best” breakfast and you can see how confusing the topic of breakfast can be.
To make things easier, we discuss a few breakfast options and then share with you THE secret to knowing which one is BEST for you.
(HINT - it’s a matter of experimenting)
Give this episode a good listen as you may be surprised to find out how easy breakfast can, and should, be.

Episode 21:13 - How Well Do You Understand The Coronavirus? (Five Things Everyone Should Know)
For the past year we have all been bombarded with information about the Coronavirus.
Yet how much do we really know?
On this episode we cut through all of the “misinformation” and take a good look at the five things everyone should know about the Coronavirus.
Specifically…
1) The difference between the Coronavirus and Covid
2) How the Coronavirus and Covid are diagnosed

Episode 21:12 - The TWO Reasons Why People Get The Vaccine
Millions of Americans are battling over the question of whether or not they should get the coronavirus vaccine.
On this episode we do NOT discuss that question.
Instead, we look at people who have decided to GET the vaccine and ask “Why?”
Why did they choose to get the vaccine?
This question was somewhat of a mystery to us as we both decided to NOT get it.
That is, we believe the dangers associated with the vaccine are worse than the dangers associated with the coronavirus.
But, that’s us.
YOU get to make your own decision.
And we respect that.
So much so that we wanted to know WHY those of you who decided to get the vaccine made that decision.
So we asked around.
Ultimately, it came down to two answers.
Interesting answers.
Answers we discuss in depth on this episode.
Answers you may, or may not, agree with.
Give this episode a listen and let us know your thoughts.
Then share it with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 21:11 - Vaccines: What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You
The Coronavirus is real.
Covid-19 is real.
The vaccine isn’t.
At least not the two that are currently available.
That is, they are NOT real vaccines.
Instead, according to their (Moderna) website, they are “technology” that work like an “operating system of a computer.”
It’s true.
The current “mRNA vaccines” were made to be “operating systems” in your body… operating systems that can “plug and play interchangeably with different programs.”
Their words, not mine.
So, what does all of this mean?
Great question.
One that we discuss in depth in this episode.
We talk about the mRNA vaccines… how they differ from previous vaccines… and how they are potentially very dangerous.
We also explain how these vaccines do NOT alter your DNA
Instead, they seek to override it!
Plus, in order to work, these vaccines MUST “evade” your Immune System (again, their words).
Give this episode a good listen and then please share it with those you care about.

21-10 Understanding “Antibodies”, “Herd Immunity” and the difference between “The Coronavirus” and “Covid”
Approximately one year ago, the Coronavirus turned the world upside down.
Yet despite its impact on all of society, it’s incredible how few people know what exactly “The Coronavirus” is and how it differs from “Covid.”
And, yes, there IS a difference… a very important difference.
We talk about that on this episode.
We also talk about “Antibodies” and “Herd Immunity.”
I’m sure you’ve heard about them… but do you know what they mean?
If not, don’t worry. We’re going to tell you all about them.
Specifically, on this episode we’re going to share with you:
WHAT Antibodies are.
HOW you get them.
WHY they are important.
We also discuss Herd Immunity…
HOW it’s attained and WHY we believe that we, as a nation, have already reached it.
Our hope is that you are going to walk away from this episode with a much greater understanding of the Coronavirus… and Covid… and Antibodies… and Herd Immunity.
This episode is rich with knowledge.
After listening, please share the wealth with your friends!

21-9 Viruses: What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You
Despite what you’ve been told, viruses are NOT bad for you.
Viruses actually provide your body with continuous “updates”… updates of genetic code that allow you to function in an ever-changing world.
Kind of like the way your smart phone needs updates to stay current.
The truth is, without these viruses and their genetic updates, we wouldn't be able to survive.
1) So, why do viruses get such a bad rap?
The main reason viruses get a bad rap is because we don’t understand them.
For example, guess how many viruses are living right now, on and in your body?
1 million? No.
1 billion? No.
1 trillion? No.
Believe it or not, there are approximately 380 trillion viruses living on and inside your body right now.
380 trillion!!!
That’s a lot! In fact, it’s 10 times more than the number of bacteria in your body.
Amazingly, the overwhelming majority of these viruses peacefully co-exist with you.
Peacefully, because most viruses have found what they want: a “place to hang out.”
You see, viruses need to find places in your body to “host” them so that they can reproduce.
This desire to find a location where they can reproduce is so strong that it will cause them to explore a variety of options in your body.
2) So, why are viruses killing people?
Actually, they’re not. (Stay with me)
As I said, the job of a virus is to bring your body “genetic updates”… and they do so by finding places to “hang out and reproduce.”
Typically, their “hang out place” is inside of bacteria.
What they’ll do is sneak into bacteria, replicate themselves, and then burst out so that they can go “infect” more bacteria.
Again, this is what MOST viruses do.
SOME viruses, however, don't care for bacteria so they try to infect themselves into your cells.
Especially the cells of your lungs.
Your body does not like that.
In fact, it has a whole “team” standing by to prevent it from happening.
This team is called your Immune System.
And, it was designed by God to work really well... when you let it.
Unfortunately, there are times when your Immune System becomes weak and/or overworked.
At such times, it is possible for a virus to get past your Immune System and into your cells.
Your cells, of course, don’t want the virus… but the virus doesn’t care. It decides to “hang out and reproduce.”
And it does... inside of the cells of organs such as your lungs.
THIS is what makes you sick.
THIS is what causes people to die.
However, it is important to understand that the REAL problem was NOT the virus.
It was your body’s inability to suppress the virus.
Your Immune System’s inability to protect your cells from the virus.
THAT’S what made you sick.
THAT’S what causes people to die.
3) So, what can you do?
The KEY to preventing, and overcoming, the sickness and disease associated with viruses is to…
Strengthen your Immune System!!!
And, God gave us an abundance of ways to do that.
Natural ways… using resources He provided.
Here’s twelve of them… what I call the “Dynamic Dozen”
1) Sugar - avoid it
2) Sleep - get it (7-9 hours daily)
3) Stress - reduce/manage it
4) Sunlight - Vitamin D
5) Stomach - feed it real food
6) Spine - stay “aligned”
7) Supplements - Vitamins C, D and Zinc
8) Sound - music has power
9) Sweat - exercise
10) Saturate - drink only water
11) Smile - positive attitude
12) Speak - words of faith
There’s actually four more of them that we talk about in this week’s episode.
Learn about them (they’re really powerful) along with “all things viruses”.

Episode 21:8 - Questions, and Answers, About the Vaccine
There is so much about the Covid-19 vaccine that raises questions.
Perhaps the three most important ones are:
Is it safe?
Is it effective?
Does it prevent the virus from being transmitted (spread)?
On this episode we explore those questions… along with a dozen more.
Here they are:
DID YOU KNOW…
-
There has never been an effective vaccine for ANY of the 6 previous Coronaviruses?
-
It typically takes 5-10 years to develop a new vaccine… not 8 months?
-
The Covid-19 vaccine has NOT been FDA approved?
-
The Covid-19 vaccine contains technology that has NEVER been approved for use in humans?
-
33% of Covid-19 deaths have been in individuals over the age of 85?
-
NOT one person over the age of 85 was included in the Pfizer vaccine trials?
-
NOT one woman under the age of 40 was allowed in the Pfizer vaccine trials unless she was on birth control?
-
Vaccine manufacturers CANNOT be sued or held liable for ANY injuries or damages incurred from the vaccine?
-
Over 99% of individuals who have had Covid have survived?
-
Covid cases are down by 77% since Christmas?
-
It is virtually impossible for a person under the age of 40 to die from Covid-19?
-
There are some people who may want to “consider” getting the vaccine?
Do you want answers?
Give this episode a good listen. You’ll not only get answers… you’ll get the truth!

21-7 The Power of Fasting (and Intermittent Fasting)
For years, doctors and health experts avoided the topic of Fasting.
In fact, many thought it was unhealthy.
Fortunately, times have changed and the many benefits of Fasting have been brought to light.
For example, studies now show that Fasting appears to…
1) Lower High Blood Sugar Levels
2) Aid in Weight Loss
3) Reduce Inflammation
4) Improve Blood Pressure
5) Lower High Cholesterol Levels
6) Lower High Triglyceride Levels
7) Boost Brain Function
8) Prevent Neurodegenerative Disorders
9) Increase Growth Hormone
10) Extend Lifespan
11) Prevent Cancer
12) Improve Chemotherapy’s Effectiveness
Makes you wonder why everyone isn’t Fasting?
Or, at least, why aren’t we being told more about it?
One reason is because there is no money to be made from Fasting.
Think about it…
When you Fast, you are NOT buying a food, a drug, or a supplement.
That is, there is nothing for companies to profit from when you Fast.
As a result, you won’t see any commercials or ads promoting it.
Fortunately, we’re not like everyone else.
We’re going to talk about Fasting because it’s a great way to Get Healthy.
It’s also a great way to lower your blood sugar… which is a topic we’ve been talking about in our recent episodes.
Give this episode a good listen as you will learn HOW Fasting works and why it’s so good for you.
You’ll also learn about different types of Fasts, including the very popular Intermittent Fasting.
As always, after listening, please share this episode with a friend.
Thanks!

Episode 21:6 - Supplements For Lowering Blood Sugar Levels
On the past few episodes of the podcast, we have been discussing the damaging effects of high blood sugar levels.
Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Resistance are just a few of the conditions we mentioned.
Other problems include Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Heart Disease, Stroke, Kidney Disease, Blindness, Peripheral Neuropathy, Liver Disease, Enlarged Prostate, and PCOS.
Needless to say, no one wants to suffer with any of these conditions.
No one wants to have high blood sugar levels.
Fortunately, it is possible to reverse high blood sugar levels naturally, without the use of drugs.
How?
One approach is to incorporate the four strategies we covered on last week’s episode:
1) Eat less food
2) Eat less often
3) Drink only water
4) Exercise
On this week’s episode, we add something to the mix… something that will work WITH those four strategies to make them even more effective:
Supplements!
Specifically, we talk about four natural, whole-food supplements that can be used to try to lower blood sugar levels naturally.
What are they?
You have to listen to the podcast to find out.
You also have to listen to find out why the number one drug recommended by medical doctors for dealing with high blood sugar levels does nothing to address the cause.
Nor is it as safe as the supplements we discuss.
Get out your pen and paper as you listen and, if you’re interested in ordering any of the supplements mentioned, you can do so by going to:

Obesity
Type 2 Diabetes
Insulin Resistance
Cancer
Heart Disease
Stroke
Kidney Disease
Blindness

Fortunately...
On this week’s episode we show you what to do if your results from that test are too high.
That is, we discuss HOW to lower your A1C number naturally… without the use of drugs.
This information is incredibly timely as over 100 million Americans now have high blood sugar levels.
And, believe it or not, the majority of them don’t even know it!
Furthermore, this epidemic is setting our country up for a health care crisis of unprecedented proportions.
That is, as more and more people develop the diseases listed above, the COST inflicted upon society will be overwhelming.
DON’T allow yourself to be part of the problem.
Take control of your health NOW.
Start by finding out what your A1C number is.

Episode 21:4 - The ONE Number Everyone Should Know
You probably know how much you weigh.
You may even know your blood pressure… and perhaps your cholesterol level.
But do you know your A1C level?
If not, you should.
Here’s why:
While there is no ONE number that can tell the whole story regarding your health, your A1C level paints a pretty good picture.
Why?
Because a high A1C level is linked to many of the top “killer” diseases in our society today.
Obesity, Cancer, Heart Disease, Alzheimer’s, Type 2 Diabetes and Kidney Disease are just a few of the conditions strongly linked to a high A1C number.
On this episode we took a look at how to find out your A1C score.
More importantly, we explain WHAT an A1C score is, WHY it is so important and HOW it gets to a “high” level.
This is information that EVERYONE will be talking about in a few years.
Why wait?
Learn all you can NOW regarding the incredible importance of knowing your A1C level.
It’s a big step towards “Getting Healthy.”

Episode 21:2 - The Incredible Link Between Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes and Heart Disease
There’s no doubt that you know how devastating the diseases Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes and Heart Disease are.
How, each year, they are responsible for millions of deaths around the world.
But did you know that there is ONE condition that connects them all?
A condition that YOU can control!
A condition that is primarily caused by the foods you eat.
A condition that can result in a “non-alcoholic” form of liver disease.
A condition that causes obesity.
A condition that you, or someone you know, is affected by.
A condition called Insulin Resistance.
On this episode we explain how Insulin Resistance develops and the various diseases it can cause or significantly contribute to.
We also discuss the initial signs and symptoms of Insulin Resistance (ever hear of Skin Tags?) so that you can be aware of its existence BEFORE it does any serious damage.
Please give this episode a good listen as it may very well help save your life… or the life of a loved one.

Episode 21:2 - Insulin Resistance: What You Need To Know... And Why
If you enrolled in a Nutrition class, what would you expect to learn?
Facts about vitamins, minerals, protein, fat and carbohydrates?
Absolutely.
How to heal with herbs?
No doubt.
What you may not expect to learn is “How the Fuel System of the body works.”
And, that’s a shame because how the body fuels itself is of vital importance.
Something you NEED to know.
Yet it’s seldom taught… even though it’s not difficult to understand.
You see, your body’s Fuel System provides fuel, or “energy”, to every cell, muscle and organ of the body so they can perform the functions for which they were designed.
HOW the Fuel System does this is as follows:
1) The food you eat provides your body with fuel.
2) The cells, muscles and organs take, and use, the fuel they need.
3) Any “excess” fuel is either stored in the liver or turned into fat.
This process works great… until something goes wrong.
And, believe it or not, something goes wrong for millions of us.
Not with the Fuel System itself, but with how much we ask of it.
We “flood it” with too much fuel… especially from starches and sugars.
As a result, we develop "Insulin Resistance"... which can lead to the development of some bad things.
Things like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s… and increased chance of dying from the Coronavirus.
(Yes, an overworked Fuel System can increase your chances of dying from the Coronavirus!)
But that’s not all.
In our opinion, many other health problems are either caused or significantly affected by an overworked Fuel System… especially those problems that aren’t responding to any type of treatment.
There is, however, some good news:
The damage done by an overworked Fuel System system can be corrected!
People CAN reverse these Fuel System problems.
Conditions can be cured!
Not by some “miracle” drug or pill but by LEARNING how the Fuel System was designed to work… and then working WITH it!
THAT’S what this episode is about… learning how the Fuel System works.
Our guess is that you’ll learn more about this topic from this episode than you ever have from a doctor.
More importantly, you’ll be inspired to make changes that will have a positive impact on your health… and on your life :)
Episode 21-1 - How To Lose 67 Pounds… Without Even Trying
Believe it or not, for many people, the key to losing weight is to NOT try.
Sounds crazy, right?
It’s not.
In fact, it makes a lot of sense… once you understand the secret.
The secret followed by this week’s special guest Anedra Brown.
You see, Anedra never set out to lose weight.
Instead, she simply wanted to “Get Healthy.”
To do what she had to do to get rid of the joint pain and stiffness that caused her to hurt all over… leaving her a prisoner in her own body, unable to enjoy even the simplest activities of life.
This desire to “Get Healthy” led her to make changes in her lifestyle.
Physical changes.
Nutritional changes.
Emotional changes.
Changes that have helped her “Get Healthy.”
And, therein lies the secret.
Remember, Anedra never set out to lose weight.
Instead, her goal was to “Get Healthy” so her joint pain would disappear.
She did… and her joint pain disappeared.
In addition, as a “side-effect”, she dropped 67 pounds.
Yes, 67pounds!!!
NOT by trying to lose weight… but by trying to “Get Healthy.”
Best of all, she’s not done.
Her journey to her best health is still going on… and will, for quite some time.
A journey ANYONE can take.
(Even you!)
Listen to this episode to hear Anedra’s inspiring story.
Then share it with a friend :)
Episode 47 - Rebounding From Depression: Suggestions For A Friend
"Sometimes the difference between being depressed and being suicidal is simply hearing from people who care."
A friend recently posted that on Facebook.
He's been through a lot the past few years and it's taken its toll.
Fortunately, he has people in his life who care deeply for him... family and friends who are helping carry him through the tough times.
I'm proud that he counts me as one of those friends.
However, to be honest, all I've done is provide the occasional "words of encouragement" and, while I know they are important, I keep asking myself, "what more can I do?"
The answer is actually quite simple:
I need to help my friend the best "I" can.
That is, I need to offer to help him improve his OVERALL health because I know how to do that. Plus, I firmly believe it would do wonders for him both physically AND mentally.
So, on this episode that's exactly what I do.
With the help of BetyLou Pierce, I share the three things I would suggest to my friend to boost his overall health.
Something Physical, something Nutritional, and something Emotional.
"Natural" suggestions that I feel would help bring him, or ANYONE who applies them, to a better place with regard to his physical AND mental health.
Give this episode a good listen and share it with a friend who may need to hear it.
Also...
NOTE - As you listen to this episode, please remember that these recommendations are specific to this one individual. They are NOT a prescription for overcoming depression or any health condition. Please consult your health care provider for all medical care. Also, if you experience depression and/or suicidal thoughts, seek out a mental health care provider immediately.

Episode 46 - The Christmas Episode!
Without a doubt, Christmas IS the most wonderful time of the year!
The music… the decorations… the kindness in people’s hearts.
All of these make the season magical.
However, there's ONE thing that makes it miraculous:
The birth of Jesus Christ.
Without Him there is no Christmas.
On this week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast we talk about the true meaning of Christmas and the positive impact it has on our health.
We discuss how Christmas serves as a reminder that we are NOT “physical beings” having spiritual experiences…
We are “spiritual beings” having a physical experience.
Once we understand this truth - that our true essence is spiritual, not physical - we can appreciate the impact that the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus has on our life... and how this impact opens the door to true healing.
On this episode we also explore…
-
The key to being happy and healthy.
-
The difference between giving and exchanging.
-
How your connection to God will get through the ups and downs of life.
-
How God is not mad at you… He’s mad about you.
Give this episode a good listen as it will reach down to the very core of your existence.
Also, allow yourself the opportunity to receive the greatest gift of all this Christmas…
Eternal life through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
It's the BEST gift ever!
Merry Christmas!
The Coronavirus is no joke.
It kills people AND it spreads easily.
To make matters worse, as we come to the end of 2020 it hasn’t slowed down.
Ugh!!!
What should we do?
Government and health officials have placed their confidence in a Covid-19 vaccine… a vaccine that raises two important questions:
Is it effective?
Is it safe?
Great questions… with not-so-great answers.
(Answers that were discussed in depth in episodes 43 and 44 of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast.)
The uncertainty of the vaccine has left people confused… wondering whether they should, or shouldn’t, get it.
In fact, many people have expressed a desire for an alternative.
Something with less uncertainty.
Something more natural... that can work WITH the innate defense systems of the body.
Good news: we have that "something" for you.
And it's not just one "thing" but four.
Specifically, on this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast BetyLou and I share four simple, natural and FREE alternatives to the Covid-19 vaccine.
Yes, I said simple… natural… and FREE!
Alternatives ANYONE can apply to their life.
Alternatives we believe will provide you with incredible protection from Covid-19.
What are they?
You have to listen to the episode to find out.
But, don't worry... here's something I will share with you right now:
Our top supplements for preventing the Coronavirus.
Supplements that can not only strengthen your Immune System but, in our opinion, will provide better protection for avoiding the Coronavirus than the vaccine.
These supplements are:
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Zinc
We talk about these on this episode and, as a bonus, BetyLou shares her top herbs and essential oils for boosting Immunity.
Give this episode a good listen… and then share it with a friend.

People tend to have two questions regarding the Covid-19 vaccine: 1) Is it effective?
2) Is it safe?
On last week’s episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast (#43) we discussed the effectiveness of the vaccine.
Specifically, we shared how, during the Covid-19 vaccine trial conducted by the manufacturer, Pfizer, it was discovered that…
Although the Vaccine was shown to be 95% effective… the risk of getting the Coronavirus was extremely low in both the Vaccine group (99.9% did not get it) AND in the Non-Vaccine group (99.3% did not get it).
As a result, the question most people want answered becomes:
Is it worth receiving a Vaccine to improve
your risk of not getting
the Coronavirus from
99.3% to 99.9%?
The answer is…
Who knows???
All anyone can do is try to make the best decision they can based upon the information they have.
And that is what this episode is about… providing information.
Specifically, we discuss…
-
The TRUE effectiveness of the Vaccine
-
The lack of study regarding its long term side effects
-
Why the Vaccine demonstrated NO benefit regarding preventing death (NONE!)
-
Why the Vaccine demonstrated NO benefit for those age 85 and older... despite the fact that they are the group that has been hardest hit by the Coronavirus
-
The complete removal of liability for the Vaccine manufacturer
-
The incredible “high maintenance” involved with caring for the Vaccine
-
The amount of taxpayers money already given to Vaccine manufacturers
And, perhaps most important… because of the potential severity combined with the lack of media attention:
-
The potential for “Antibody Enhanced Disease” and…
-
The Vaccine’s inability to prevent the Coronavirus from being spread.
This last one is huge as it will significantly diminish the Vaccine’s value as it can prevent the attainment of “herd immunity.”

Episode 44: Is The Covid-19 Vaccine Safe?
You can find it on iTunes, Spotify or at www.GetHealthyAlabama.com/GHA44
Today is Wednesday, December 2, 2020… which means that in slightly over a week, the United States should have a Covid-19 vaccine available (in limited supply). The vaccine, manufactured by Pfizer was shown to be 95% effective according to a clinical study. But, what exactly does “95% effective” mean? If you’re like most people, you think it means that 95% of the people who get the vaccine won’t get the Coronavirus. Believe it or not, you’d be wrong as the results were actually better! Let me explain: Nearly 44,000 people participated in the study conducted by Pfizer. Half of them received the vaccine while the other half didn't. Amazingly, 99.3% of the approximately 22,000 individuals who got the vaccine avoided getting the virus. That’s significantly higher than the 95% you see in the headlines. And, to add to the good news, none of the individuals in the group died from the Coronavirus. That’s awesome! However, there is one problem: Those numbers weren't for the vaccine group. They were for the NON-VACCINE group. Huh? Yes, 99.3% of the group that DIDN’T receive the Covid-19 vaccine did NOT get the Coronavirus. Nor did any of them die. So, why did Pfizer claim 95% effectiveness for the vaccine? The answer is explained in this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast. One more thing: Guess how effective the Covid-19 vaccine was shown to be for preventing deaths? 90%…. 70%… 50%… 10%???? Would you believe that the answer is ZERO! That is, the Covid-19 vaccine showed NO effectiveness at preventing deaths from the Coronavirus. On this episode you’ll hear the shocking story behind this amazing fact.
Episode 42 - The Healing Power of Giving Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s awesome that we have a holiday dedicated to the simple act of “Giving Thanks.”
In addition, it’s awesome how many health benefits are connected to “Giving Thanks.”
For example, did you know that people who practice “Giving Thanks” have healthier Immune Systems than those who don’t?
Or that they handle stress better?
And sleep better?
Those three benefits alone have a HUGE impact on one’s health… and they all can be improved simply by making “Giving Thanks” a habit.
But that’s not all.
People who practice “Giving Thanks” display higher levels of happiness, joy, enthusiasm, optimism and love.
They also experience less bitterness, resentment, greed, envy, fear, anxiety, worry and anger.
Wow!!!
But here’s the one that really impressed me:
“Giving Thanks” is shown to lower levels of inflammation.
That’s incredibly important as inflammation is THE common factor behind every major disease including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer’s.
Now, if you could take ALL of these benefits and wrap them into a pill, you’d be a billionaire!
But you can’t… and that’s all right because you don’t need another pill in your life.
You simply need to practice “Giving Thanks.”
And, in this episode, we share with you simple ways to do that.
Specifically, we share a few morning "tips" that anyone can implement into their life today so that they can begin to experience the benefits immediately.
So, give this episode a good listen. Then be sure to share it with a friend.
One last thing:
Thank YOU for supporting this podcast. We really do appreciate you!

Episode 41 - Help! I’ve Tested Positive For The Coronavirus
There are plenty of supplements that help strengthen the Immune System.
Some, like the ones discussed on last week’s episode (# 40) are excellent at helping your Immune System PREVENT disease.
But what about those individuals who find out they HAVE the flu or Coronavirus…
What supplements should they take?
That’s a great question and, on this episode, we’re going to provide you with great answers.
Answers you won’t hear anywhere else.
In particular, we discuss one herb that EVERYONE should have in their home… ready to take as soon as needed.
An herb that we believe provides tremendous help for anyone who HAS a virus… especially one that is impacting the respiratory system.
We also discuss several other supplements that we have used for ourselves, and for others, to help our Immune Systems defeat any unwanted “bugs.”
Give this episode a good listen and then stock up NOW on any supplements you feel would be helpful if you, or a loved one, tested positive for the Coronavirus or flu.

Episode 40 - Supplements To Boost Your Immune System
It’s getting to be “that time of the year” again.
You know, “cold and flu” season.
And, for some reason I think that this year’s season is going to be a challenge.
Why?
Because we’re still dealing with the Coronavirus… that unwelcome guest that just won’t go away.
But don’t worry as we’ve got your back.
On this episode we're going to share with you the supplements we take to BOOST the one system of the body that is vital for preventing sickness:
The Immune System.
Without a doubt, a strong Immune System is the BEST defense against colds, the flu and the Coronavirus.
However, a strong Immune System doesn’t “just happen.”
Like your muscles, its strength must be “developed.”
How?
By “feeding” it the right kind of nutrients.
Nutrients that are found in whole foods.
Nutrients that nourish the organs, glands and cells that promote Immune System function.
Nutrients like those we discuss on this week’s episode.
So, do yourself a favor and give this episode a good listen.
Then talk with your health care provider about IMPLEMENTING some of what you learn.
How well you handle the upcoming cold and flu season will be partly determined by the supplement choices you make today.
Choose to be healthy!

Episode 39 - Better Than Any Supplement?
Everybody likes a good supplement… one that will actually help them improve their health.
Make that same supplement “natural”… and without side-effects… and its appeal will be even greater.
Throw in a very low cost (how about FREE?) and the demand for this supplement should go through the roof.
Well, guess what?
There IS such a supplement… but it doesn’t come in pill form.
Nor does it cost anything.
Yet, it IS amazingly effective.
It’s called DEEP BREATHING :)
Taking twenty deep breaths every day will do wonders for your health.
Seriously.
The most important thing it will do is help your body reduce the effects of stress.
Let me say that again:
Deep breathing will help your body reduce the effects of stress.
Why is that important?
If you’re a follower of this podcast you already know why:
Because chronic stress is THE number one cause of sickness and disease.
Actually, let me say that a little bit differently as it’s NOT the stress that causes sickness and disease…
It’s that our bodies stay stuck in “The Stress Response.”
A response that expects us to engage in some type of physical action - such as “fight or flight” - whenever we are stressed.
However, since most of the stress we deal with today is NOT from a physical "threat", but an emotional one, our bodies stay “stuck” in Stress Response mode.
We then stay "stuck" in Stress Response mode.
This causes a ton of health problems… problems that could be avoided if we knew how to prevent the body from being stuck in this Stress Response mode.
Good news!
On this episode, we’re going to teach you how.
That is, we’re going to take a “short, sweet and to the point” approach to how Deep Breathing can help you avoid sickness and disease by relieving the body of The Stress Response.
Give this episode a good listen… and then talk to your doctor about incorporating a Deep Breathing program into your life.
You’ll be glad that you did :)

Episode 38 - 10 Tips For Managing Stress
Chronic stress is considered to be the number cause of sickness and disease in this country.
Think about that…
Stress is THE top factor in the development of sickness and disease.
For that reason alone, we should all be taught ways to REDUCE the amount of stress in our lives.
Ways such as "Forgiveness" and "Purpose" (see Episodes 36 and 37).
However, we need to do more than just reduce stress.
We need to know how to MANAGE it.
And THAT is the topic of this episode.
Specifically, we share 10 strategies that anyone can incorporate into their life to help minimize the negative effects of stress.
Strategies that are proven to be effective.
What are they?
Typically I’d make you have to listen to the episode to get the answer.
However, managing stress is so important that I’m going to share them with you here:
1) Exercise
2) Sleep
3) Breathing
4) Sunshine
5) Gratitude
6) Forgiveness
7) Prayer
8) Visualization
9) Diet
10) Supplements
Needless to say, you should still listen to the episode as HEARING about these strategies will help reinforce what you have just read… increasing the likelihood that you’ll act upon them.
Here's the bottom line:
Stress doesn't have to destroy your health.
Fight back by listening to this episode and incorporating as many of the strategies as you can :)

Episode 37 - Eliminating Stress… On Purpose
In Episode 35 we explained how stress and “The Stress Response” is THE number one cause of sickness and disease as it impacts your Brain, Muscles, Heart, Digestive System, and Reproductive Hormones.
Last week, in Episode 36 we shared one way to reduce stress:
Forgiveness.
This week we look at another powerful method for reducing stress:
Having a PURPOSE!
Studies show that having a strong sense of purpose will not only reduce your stress levels, it will boost your Immune System, improve your digestion, lower your blood pressure and help balance your hormones.
In addition, if you suffer with social anxiety, low self-esteem, fear of failure, and/or neediness…
Knowing, and living, your PURPOSE will help!
Let me say it another way…
If there was a vitamin or drug that could give you the benefits that having a sense of purpose can give you, it would be a top seller!
We talk about this on this week's episode.
Speaking of this week's episode, would you be interested in...
-
Hearing about individuals who discovered their purpose and significantly improved their lives?
-
Discovering ways to boost your confidence and get rid of "neediness"?
-
Learning HOW to discover your purpose?
All of this is covered in this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast:

Episode 36 - The Healing Power Of Forgiveness
Stress is THE cause of most chronic illness and disease and in last week’s episode we explained how “The Stress Response” impacted your Brain, Muscles, Heart, Digestive System, and Reproductive Hormones.
Specifically, we shared how CHRONIC stress can lead to neck pain, back pain, headaches, high blood pressure, heart arrhythmias, anxiety, depression, digestive disturbances, infertility, hot flashes, PMS and PCOS.
Stress is also strongly linked to cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes… not to mention obesity.
In other words, stress can kill you!
In this week’s episode we talk about a wonderful way to reduce the amount of stress in your life.
A practice that, once implemented will have a significant, and positive, impact on you… and others.
It’s called Forgiveness.
Forgiveness is powerful... yet so underappreciated.
In fact, there are many medical studies that have proven how healthy Forgiveness is.
Yet for some reason it is seldom, if ever, talked about by doctors.
(I wonder why?)
Regardless… the Power of Forgiveness is something YOU should be aware of and practicing.
Start by giving this episode a good listen.
Learn the difference between “Shame” and “Guilt”… along with the twin forces of “Mercy” and “Grace.”
Hopefully, it will open your eyes... AND your heart :)

Episode 35 - Why STRESS is the cause of nearly every disease
What goes through your mind when someone tells you they have a “hormone problem?”
That they have some kind of Estrogen, Progesterone or Testosterone imbalance?
Or, perhaps that their level of Thyroid hormones is off?
Both are good guesses.
However, right or wrong, when you hear about ANY type of hormone imbalance, I want you to start thinking about a different hormone gland.
A gland that DIRECTLY influences both the reproductive system AND the Thyroid.
One that is most likely involved in ANY hormone imbalance in the body:
The Adrenal gland.
Actually, you don’t have “an” adrenal gland… you have two.
One sits atop your right kidney… the other your left.
Together, these two small glands have ONE main function:
To secrete hormones that help the body deal with stress.
Now, if you’re alive in the year 2020 it’s probably safe to say you’re dealing with some type of stress.
We all are.
On this episode we look at HOW the adrenal glands respond to stress.
Specifically, we talk about “The Stress Response" and what it does to your digestive system, reproductive system, cardiovascular system (heart), musculoskeletal system, and your nervous system.
We then discuss how TOO MUCH stress is often THE cause of almost every chronic disease.
Conditions such as GERD, IBS, Crohn’s disease, infertility, hot flashes, PMS, high blood pressure, neck pain, back pain, headaches, insomnia, ADHD, fibromyalgia and memory loss… ALL can be traced back to your body being “stuck” in The Stress Response mode.
Understanding The Stress Response will go a LONG WAY towards helping you understand what is going on in your body.
More importantly, it can help you begin to make changes… changes that will identify and correct the CAUSE of your health problems.

Weight gain?
Tired?
Brittle nails?
Hair falling out?
Always “cold”?
If you are dealing with any of these symptoms… you may have a thyroid problem.
Specifically, your body may be producing too little thyroid hormone, a condition known as Hypothyroidism.
On this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast, BetyLou and I talk all about Hypothyroidism. Primarily, what causes it and what can be done to treat it…
...naturally, without the use of drugs or surgery.
We discuss nutritional supplements and herbs that seem to help as well as the Physical, Nutritional and Emotional factors that should be addressed.
We also explain the importance of getting the right “octane” when it comes to the prescriptive drug Synthroid…
...and why Hashimoto’s Disease is now the number one cause of Hypothyroidism.

Episode 33 - The Key To Correcting Hormonal Imbalances
Ask a woman if she’s ever suffered with a hormone-related problem and she’ll probably say “Yes” as PMS, endometriosis, infertility, PCOS, hot flashes, weight gain, and Hashimoto’s are just SOME of the problems she may have encountered.
Men are just as likely to suffer with hormone-related problems although their symptoms - erectile dysfunction, infertility, low-energy, low sex drive, mood swings, depression, anxiety, headaches and loss of strength - are not as easily noticed.
Either way, there are an abundance of health issues in this country resulting from hormonal imbalances.
On this episode - the first in a series of episodes on the Hormonal System - we take a look at these imbalances and begin to discuss what can be done to prevent and overcome them.
We begin by explaining how the current medical approach for addressing hormone-related problems is often focused on the wrong issues.
This leads to misguided treatment programs which are oftentimes ineffective AND can eventually result in the development of life-threatening diseases.
So, what should you do?
We share with you the question that SHOULD be asked whenever you are dealing with a hormone-related problem. A question most medical doctors never think of.
We then go on to give you a brief overview of the “members” of the hormone system.
Specifically, we discuss the two major hormone-related organs and glands in the brain along with the four major glands in the body.
Understanding the basic functions of each of these glands will provide you with a tremendous advantage in your quest to restore hormonal balance - and better health - to your body.
Give this episode a good listen. Take notes if necessary… and share it with your family and friends.
In fact, teach what you learn to your kids as this is the type of information EVERYONE should be taught at a young age.

What do you do when your doctor informs you that you have high blood pressure?
You take blood pressure medicine… for the rest of your life.
That’s the path Ron Mitchell was on.
An avid runner, Ron’s blood pressure had gotten to the point where he needed to regulate it with medicine.
And, he did.
For awhile.
Until he had an allergic reaction to the medication that landed him in the Emergency Room.
At that point, he decided that he was done with taking prescriptive drugs.
He increased his running and made some dietary changes. Specifically, he eliminated meat products from his diet and began following a plant-based diet.
That was over ten years ago and he’s never had a blood pressure problem again.
He’s also never taken another prescriptive drug of any kind.
Let me remind you of something:
Reversing high blood pressure AND not taking any prescriptive drugs is virtually unheard of in this country.
Especially for a 75 year old male.
But Ron is living proof of what the human body is capable of.
Learn more about Ron’s story and what YOU can do to live your best life by listening to this week’s episode.
Also, as mentioned in the episode, here are some individuals you can Google if you're interested in learning more about plant-based diets:
Dr. Michael Greger
Dr. Dean Ornish
Dr. John McDougall
Dr. Michael Klaper
Dr. Joel Fuhrman
Dr. Alan Goldhamer
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn

Episode 31 - The Doctor of The Future
The doctor of the future isn’t going to look like the doctor of today. In fact, the doctor of the future may not even be a “doctor”… but that’s something we’ll talk about later.
For now, just know that there is a shift going in on in this country. A subtle, yet powerful change in how people view their health and their health care.
People are no longer satisfied with receiving a prescription drug for their complaints. They want more than “a pill for their ill.” They want to know what is CAUSING their problems.
The also want to know what they can do, using “natural” means, to CORRECT the cause.
This is a far departure from how doctors practice medicine today.
Today’s model works on an outdated premise that goes like this:
Your doctor listens to you explain your SYMPTOMS. Based on your symptoms, he/she will then run tests to come up with a DIAGNOSIS. Your diagnosis will then determine your TREATMENT… most likely drugs and/or surgery.
SYMPTOMS —> DIAGNOSIS —> TREATMENT
The problem with this model is that it does NOTHING to address the CAUSE of your symptoms. Nothing to CORRECT the actual problem.
Fortunately, this is changing. Slowly but surely medical doctors throughout the country are turning their backs on this model and embracing a new model.
A “holistic” model.
A model based on wellness, not disease.
A model that BetyLou and I have been following and speaking about for years.
A model whose time has come.
A model that looks like this:
Your doctor listens to you explain your SYMPTOMS. He/she will then run tests to identify what is CAUSING your symptoms. The cause will then be addressed and CORRECTED through the use of natural remedies.
SYMPTOMS —> CAUSE —> CORRECTION
—————
On this episode we dive deep into explaining WHAT the doctor of the future will look like, WHY this change is happening now and HOW you can get involved.
You don’t want to miss this episode if you have any interest in living a healthy life today… and for many years to come.

Episode 30 - Healing Herbs For Hormone Imbalances
Hormones are chemical messages that provide specific “instructions” to the body… instructions that dictate and determine how the body will act.
While every system of the body (nervous, digestive, immune, musculoskeletal) is impacted by hormones, there is one that stands out from the rest:
The reproductive system.
In fact, for most people the only hormones that they are aware of are those associated with the male and female reproductive systems:
Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone
All three of these hormones are found in both men and women. However, it is the amount of each that differs.
Men have more testosterone while women have more estrogen and progesterone.
Problems occur in either sex when the balance of these hormones is off.
That’s where herbs come in.
Herbs may provide a natural solution for correcting hormone imbalances… which leads us to the topic of this week’s episode:
“Healing Herbs For Hormone Imbalances”
Specifically, we discuss herbs that may help correct estrogen, progesterone and/or testosterone deficiencies.
As a bonus, we also talk about an herb that has been demonstrated to help some men reduce an enlarged prostate.
This is a “can’t miss” episode for anyone dealing with a hormone imbalance.
Episode 29 - BetyLou’s Tips For Healthy Living
What better way to celebrate BetyLou’s birthday than by giving you a present?
Yes, in honor of her 79th Birthday on August 28th, BetyLou wanted to give YOU something.
And, since there’s no better gift than the “gift of health” she agreed to share with everyone her “Tips For Healthy Living”
What are they?
You’re going to have to listen to this episode to find out.
However, I’ll give you a hint:
There’s five of them.
I’ll give you another hint:
Two of them are “Physical”
Two of them are “Nutritional”
One is “Emotional”
Try to guess what they are.
Also, there is a “Bonus Tip” near the end of the episode.
A tip that has helped BetyLou not only GET healthy but STAY healthy during challenging times.
This tip is extremely powerful for those who choose to utilize it, yet it’s something you hardly ever hear about it.
Give this episode a good listen and start working on implementing, or improving on, some of what she suggests.
I’m confident you’ll be much healthier for it.
Episode 28 - “No Plan B” with Caresty Carpenter
Imagine being in your early 30’s, happily married with two beautiful children and a job you love.
Further imagine that your husband, who also enjoys his work, starts feeling a tug to move back to the town he grew up in.
A town in a different state.
What would you do?
If you’re Caresty Carpenter you pray for wisdom and guidance.
You also pray for some kind of confirmation… like jobs opening up for you and your husband in the town you’re considering moving to.
Well, God is good and Caresty and her husband Kevin did receive confirmation.
However, it wasn’t in the line of work that either of them had been in.
It was in a completely new field… a field that together they were developing a growing interest in:
Health and nutrition.
Listen to this episode to learn how Caresty and Kevin went from working as a hair stylist and a trim carpenter in Mississippi to owning a thriving nutrition business called Spartan Nutrition in Alabama.
Their journey has not been easy… but it has been rewarding.
It also HAD to work as there was “No Plan B”.
Her story will inspire you and build your faith :)
Episode 27 - Healing Herbs - Part 1
Herbs have been used for thousands of years as a natural way to treat various health conditions.
They lost some of their shine when prescriptive drugs became popular approximately 100 years ago.
Unfortunately, prescription drugs often carry with them dangerous side effects.
This has lead to a resurgence in the interest and use of herbs.
On this episode we talk about three healing herbs in particular:
Ashwaganda
Ginkgo Biloba
Turmeric
All three of these herbs help provide a natural, safe and effective alternative to prescriptive drugs.
All three of these herbs should own a spot in your health “toolbox”… ready to be used if needed.
And, all three of these herbs are discussed in this week’s episode.
So, please give it a listen and, as always, consider sharing it with a friend.

Episode 26 - The Power of the Mind in Health and Healing
There is no doubt that our thoughts impact our health.
Good thoughts are good for you… bad thoughts aren’t.
That’s easy enough to understand but it goes much deeper than that.
For example, when you are sick, it’s normal to become consumed with how bad you feel.
You think about your symptoms, you talk about them, you even Google them.
But is this productive?
Not really.
Why?
Because your physiology follows your thoughts.
Therefore, focusing your mind on your symptoms will reinforce an unhealthy state.
However, focusing your mind on healthy thoughts will steer your body towards health.
The message is simple:
Try to focus your mind on HEALTH, not disease… ESPECIALLY when you don’t feel well.
(I know it's not easy.)
That’s not all.
While positive thinking is important, “right” thinking is imperative.
Specifically with regard to health, there are three distinctions you really should be clear about.
Three distinctions that - along with the importance of “positive” thinking - we discuss on this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast.
These three distinctions involve understanding the difference between:
1) Health Care and Disease Care
2) Allopathic Medicine and Holistic Medicine
3) A Healer and A Teacher
I honestly believe that listening to this episode and gaining clarity on these three topics will leave you healthier than before.
All because your thoughts will be better :)

Episode 25 - Prevention IS The Best Medicine: Supplements To Strengthen Your Immune System
On last week’s episode we talked about how this upcoming winter may be the worst one ever… especially with regard to our health.
Stress from the Coronavirus, schools potentially closing, and the presidential election will add to the “normal” stress of the holidays.
Throw in a potential economic downturn and the ingredients are there for a really bad “cold and flu” season.
Fortunately there ARE things you can do.
Natural things that will boost your health and prepare you to battle any bug or virus that may come your way.
We’ve already talked about three of them: Exercise, Sleep and Sunshine.
On this episode we talk about another one.
Supplements.
Specifically, we discuss the supplements that we take to strengthen our Immune System.
BetyLou shares with you her top 7 supplements while I share with you the three that I take daily.
Interestingly, this summer we each have increased the amount of supplements we take for the Immune System.
We suggest you do the same.
The ones we share with you should give you some ideas for getting started.
As always, thank you for listening and please share this with a friend.

Episode 24 - How To Prepare For The Worst Winter Ever
I hate to be negative but the writing is on the wall:
We may be heading into the worst winter ever… specifically with regard to our health.
Both individually and as a nation we may soon be battling with more sickness and disease than ever before.
I hope I’m wrong.
But here’s why I doubt it:
We are heading into some very stressful times.
Times that will try to destroy our Immune Systems.
For example:
The coronavirus doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.
Schools have no idea how/if they will make it through the fall semester.
Half of the country will be upset after the November presidential election.
The economy seems headed for a severe downturn.
Again, I hope I’m wrong.
But let’s assume I’m right.
What should we do to prepare?
THAT is what we discuss in this episode.
Specifically, we talk about three things you can start doing TODAY to help prepare yourself for this winter.
Three strategies are that proven to be effective for building your health.
Best of all, you don’t need to spend any money to implement them.
In addition, we share with you the two theories that are currently being used to battle the coronavirus.

Everyone loves the sun, right?
Wrong.
Everyone SHOULD love the sun.
Unfortunately, the sun gets a bad rap.
You know, stuff like “it causes melanoma (skin cancer)”.
Or, "it’s really bad for your eyes… or skin… or hair."
Not only are these statements NOT true, they may actually be quite dangerous.
Why?
Because anything that keeps you from "getting sun" may be harming your health.
You see, God put the sun up in the sky for a reason... a reason you really need to know:
So that you can look, feel and BE your best.
The sun makes that possible.
But not just the part of the sun that manufacturers try to put into pill form and sell as Vitamin D.
The WHOLE spectrum of sunlight... just as God made it.
(I actually refer to the sun as Vitamin S: "God's favorite vitamin.")
This whole spectrum of sunlight provides our bodies with benefits beyond what you've ever been taught.
Benefits that can help make you healthy and strong.
Specifically, on this week's episode of the podcast we'll discuss how the sun...
- Benefits your Hormones
- Helps prevent 20 types of cancer
- May be the “missing piece” in your weight loss battle
- Can lead to a better night’s sleep
- Reduces certain types of depression
We'll also discuss the major role sunshine plays in skin diseases such as acne, eczema and psoriasis...
...plus we'll reveal a special MENS ONLY benefit that few guys know anything about.
Thank you for listening and please share the episode with a friend.

Episode 21 - The Healthy Gut Protocol: Part 2- Supplements
Everyone wants to know which supplements they should take to restore the health of their digestive system.
This episode provides the answers.
We start by discussing the specific diet we believe will help restore your gut’s health… along with the 3 core supplements you should consider taking EVERY day.
We then describe a 10 Day Gut Reset Protocol that is intended to act as a “framework” you can be used with the guidance of a health care professional. (It is NOT intended to to be used as a treatment or program without such guidance.)
There are three phases in this protocol process, each involving specific supplements:
Phase 1: Digestion
In this phase the emphasis is on digestion… breaking down your foods into usable parts.
Supplements: digestive enzyme (Zypan, AF Betafood, and/or Diaplex) and natural laxative (Colax)
Phase 2: Elimination
In this phase the emphasis is on eliminating parasites and other unhealthy bugs from your digestive system.
Supplements: Parasite Cleansing Herbs (Wormwood and Zymex 2)
Phase 3: Restoration
In this phase the emphasis is on restoring the good bugs into your digestive system.
Supplements: Prebiotic (GI Stability) and Probiotic (Lact-Enz)
————————
By the end of this episode you should have clarity on the direction you want to go with regard to gut health.

Episode 20 - The Healthy Gut Protocol
WHY, HOW, WHAT
On this episode we begin discussing a protocol that you can implement to improve the health of your gut.
We start by addressing three questions:
1) WHY is Gut Health important?
2) HOW do Gut Problems develop?
3) WHAT can be done to correct Gut Problems?
1) WHY is Gut Health important?
Because it influences the health of every system of your body! The Immune System, The Hormone System, The Nervous System and, of course, the Digestive System.
In addition, EVERY Autoimmune Disorder appears to begin in the gut… and the big “killers” - Heart Disease, Cancer and Type 2 Diabetes - all are negatively impacted by gut dysfunction.
2) HOW do Gut Problems develop?
Poor dietary choices… and stress.
3) WHAT can be done to correct Gut Problems?
Eat better and work on reducing/eliminating stress. (Yes, we know that’s easier said than done).
Supplements also play a huge role… and will be the topic of our next episode.
Needless to say, we dive deeper into each of these question in an episode that flows quickly and is full of good information.

Episode 19 - The Role of the Microbiome in Health and Disease
On the past seven episodes we have talked about the Digestive System… literally from top to bottom.
Today, we take a look at the millions of “bugs” that line most of the digestive tract. Bugs that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and parasites.
Collectively, these bugs are know as the “Microbiome” and they play a huge role in determining a person’s overall level of health and disease.
For example, your brain, your hormones, your immune system, your skin, your digestion, your heart, and even your pain levels are ALL strongly impacted by the health of your Microbiome.
Amazing, right?
So, how does one maintain a healthy Microbiome?
What things damage it?
How can I repair it?
These, and many other topics, including Probiotic supplements are discussed on this week’s episode.
You don’t want to miss it!

Episode 18 - More Than Just A “Pathway For Poop”
Did you know that the food you eat has a job… and it’s NOT to “make you feel good?”
The food you eat is meant to nourish you.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good meal but the primary reason I eat isn't for the food to make me happy.
It’s for the food to nourish me!
“How” it does that is through a process called digestion.
Digestion starts with food entering the mouth. It is chewed and then sent to the stomach where it is broken down into small, usable pieces.
When the stomach finishes its job, the food passes into the Small Intestine for further breakdown.
Once the food is completely broken down, the “good” parts of the food - the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and simple sugars - are ABSORBED into the body so that they can be taken to the muscles, glands and organs.
This is all great, but I have a question:
What happens to the parts of the food that were NOT needed by the body?
The parts that were deemed “not good?”
It’s actually quite simple:
The “unwanted” food - along with toxins and dead bacteria - continues down the digestive tract and enters the Large Intestine (also known as the “colon”) before eventually being eliminated via a bowel movement.
Not very exciting, right?
Well, actually it is.
You see, a lot actually goes on in the Large Intestine. So much so that it takes about two full days for this unwanted “food” to pass through the Large Intestine.
What happens during that time and how does it impact your health?
THAT is the topic of this episode.
Specifically, we will discuss:
The importance of making sure that whatever enters the Large Intestine LEAVES the Large Intestine. (Toxins laying around can lead to colon cancer)
The first question every doctor should ask a patient
The importance of the “fiber-water” combination
Our favorite herb for dealing with constipation
Our favorite supplements for dealing with hemorrhoids
Our suggestion for eliminating parasites
We also discuss how the Large Intestine is home to so much of our body’s microflora… the bacteria that has a profound impact on our health.

Episode 17 - Understanding Leaky Gut
The body is amazing… especially the Digestive System!
Food goes in one end (the mouth) and out the other (the anus). Along the way, the nutrients the body needs to nourish the cells, muscles and organs are taken into the body through a process called absorption.
Specifically absorption occurs in the part of the digestive tract known as the Small Intestine.
The nutrients that are absorbed from the digestive system into the blood stream do so through “tight junctions”. These tight junctions only allow “good” nutrients to pass through.
Unfortunately, a poor diet, NSAID’s, antibiotics, gluten, dairy, sugar, pesticides, and stress can all create “holes” in these tight junctions, allowing “bad” particles to pass into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body.
These “holes” are referred to as a Leaky Gut and the bad particles that pass into the bloodstream can result in a bunch of health problems… most notably, skin disorders, AutoImmune Disease and neurological disturbances.
Understanding Leaky Gut is vital to maintain and achieve good health.
Be ready to take some notes :)

Episode 16 - The Small Intestine Has A Big Impact On Your Health
The Stomach and Small Intestine are responsible for the breakdown (digestion) of our foods. This breakdown allows nutrients to become small enough so that they can be absorbed into the body and used as nourishment for our cells, muscles, glands and organs.
Get your digestion right and you will probably find your Nervous System (especially the brain), your Immune System and your Hormone Systems all working better.
In fact, your skin should also respond positively to a healthy Digestive System.
Last week, we talked about the Stomach and its role in digestion.
In this week’s episode we continue discussing the Digestive System by focusing on the role of the Small Intestine.
Some highlights:
-
We discuss why, although the Stomach needs to be acidic, the Small Intestine needs to be more alkaline.
-
The two (actually three) organs that contribute enzymes to the Small Intestine
-
The powerful substance that helps eliminates toxins from the body… via the Small Intestine
-
The most important supplement if you don’t have a Gall Bladder
As always, we hope you enjoy this episode and share it with a friend.
Episode 15 - The Stomach… and Acid Reflux
The first thing you should know about the stomach is that it MUST be acidic for digestion to take place.
To ensure its acidity, Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is secreted into the stomach whenever the presence of food is detected.
This strong acid serves two important purposes:
1) Destroy any harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites that may be in the food.
2) Activate Pepsin… a digestive enzyme that plays a major role in the breakdown of protein.
When all is well, digestion in the stomach works like a charm. However, when things aren’t working well, symptoms appear.
Bloating, gas, indigestion and heartburn are all signs of improper stomach digestion.
Possible causes are:
1) Poor food choices
2) Insufficient Digestive Enzymes
3) Diluted Digestive Enzymes
Undigested food in the stomach can cause additional problems.
Specifically, undigested food can begin to “rot”. This rotting food can then produce MORE acid.
Excess acid can begin to move up into the esophagus causing heartburn.
What’s the solution?
We DON’T recommend medications like Prilosec, Pepcin, or Nexium.
Why not?
Because they only mask the symptoms… they DON’T correct the underlying problem.
Plus they are linked with increase chance of stomach cancer, bone fractures and kidney disease.
Instead, we recommend a few simple, common sense tactics that are not only easy to employ… they’re safe and effective at CORRECTING the problem.
You can find out all about them by listening to this episode!
Episode 14 - Understanding The Digestive System
The Digestive System impacts overall health in ways that most people aren’t aware of.
For example, did you know that chronic diseases (and leading causes of death) such as cancer, heart disease, and Type II Diabetes are strongly linked to dysfunction of the Digestive System?
Or that top researchers believe that EVERY AutoImmune disorder begins in the Digestive System?
Not to mention that nearly 80% of the Immune System is found in the Digestive System… as is 90% of Serotonin production.
The message is simple: your health and well-being is strongly connected to the health of your Digestive System.
However, despite this connection, most people know very little about their Digestive System.
This episode will change that.
We will lay out for you the Digestive System from beginning (mouth) to end (anus).
Along the way we will teach you about the organs of the “gut”: the Stomach, Small Intestine, and Large Intestine.
We will also share with you a fascinating tidbit about “where” the Digestive System is located (hint: it’s NOT in your body).
Our hope is that, by the time you’re done listening, you’ll have a much better understanding of one of the most important influences on your health: the Digestive System.
Enjoy… and share it with a friend!

Episode 13 - You’re Not Fat… You’re Bloated!
Millions of people struggle with “belly fat”.
But what if your belly really isn’t fat… it’s bloated?
On this episode, we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) share what YOU can do to identify - and eliminate - a bloated stomach.
Step one is to realize that a bloated stomach is one that is filled with undigested food. That is, the food you eat is getting into the stomach but isn’t being properly broken down.
Food that is not being broken down (digested) will lay in the stomach and rot… resulting in bloating, gas and excess acid. Left there long enough it will cause your stomach to swell and cause acid reflux.
Taking medication for the swelling or reflux may provide temporary relief… but it WON’T fix the problem! If anything, over time, it will make the problem worse!
So, what’s the solution?
Two suggestions;
First, you’re going to have to make changes in your diet. Any food you eat that causes your stomach to be upset is simply not good for you.
At least not for now. (You may be able to eat it again later)
Second, you may want to look into taking a digestive enzyme.
Digestive enzymes help the body break down food in the stomach. Without them you won’t be able to properly digest your food.
Different types of digestive enzymes break down different types of foods. That is, there are digestive enzymes that break down protein, digestive enzymes that break down fats, and digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates/sugars.
Which one do you need?

Episode 12 - Understanding Addiction with Ann Marie Powell - Part 3
On this episode, we (Dr. George Burroughs and BetyLou Pierce) sit down with addiction expert Ann Marie Powell as she shares powerful insight into each of these two questions:
Where can someone with an addiction problem go to get help?
How can I help a loved one who is struggling with an addiction?
Ann Marie explains the importance of professional care for dealing with addictive behavior and how, if left untreated, it can become a chronic and progressive disease that can cause a lot of pain… for a lot of people.
She also shares with us the importance of professional care (support) for the family members of someone dealing with addiction.
Ann Marie then discusses the “Three C’s” and why they are so important for anyone who is trying to get a loved one into care.
You didn’t Cause it You can’t Control it You can’t Change it
Until you grasp these “Three C’s” there’s a good chance you won’t allow yourself to “get out of the way”
This episode is truly another “must listen”.
Hope you enjoy it… and share it with a friend.

Episode 11 - Understanding Addiction with Ann Marie Powell - Part 2
In Part 1 (episode 10) addiction expert Ann Marie Powell shared with us what addiction is and how most families are impacted.
We learned that addiction is NOT a moral failing but a disease, and that people battling an addiction should be treated as such.
In this episode, Part II, Ann Marie discusses factors that may cause and contribute to the development of addictive behavior.
She starts by talking about how, for many people there is a genetic predisposition involved.
She then explains how head/brain injuries can play a role by disrupting brain neurotransmitters.
She concludes by diving deep into the connection between emotional trauma and addiction.
This connection to emotional trauma highlights the importance of education and of equipping people with coping skills.
These two strategies must be put into place if we ever hope to PREVENT addictive behavior.
This episode is truly a “must listen”.
Hope you enjoy it… and share it with a friend.

Episode 10 - Understanding Addiction with Ann Marie Powell - Part 1
When you hear the word “addict” what comes to mind?
A horrible person who should be ostracized from society…
…or a person with a disease that needs to be treated?
Someone we should scorn… or someone we should love?
On this episode, we sit down with Addiction expert Ann Marie Powell of Bradford Health Services to discuss all things addiction.
The misconceptions and the truths.
It is truly an amazing interview packed with useful information. So much so, that we decided to break it up into three separate parts.
Part 1 - What is addiction?
Part 2 - What factors contribute to the development of addictive behavior?
Part 3 - What can be done to treat and prevent addictive behavior?
In this first part, “What is addiction?” Ann Marie shares with us what the latest research teaches us about addiction:
-
How it is a brain disease… and should be treated as such.
-
Why it is NOT a moral failing.
-
Warning signs of potential addictive behavior
-
The impact of the “feel good” chemical Dopamine on addiction
-
Addictive behaviors that are celebrated… yet may be dangerous
-
Why judgment is often motivated by fear
-
The similarity between Type II diabetes and addiction
-
How addictive behavior is the sign of something deeper
This episode is packed with powerful information and Ann Marie does a wonderful job at explaining things.
Be sure to listen… and share, as everyone, in some way, is affected by addiction.

Episode 9 - Sex… and 21 other ways to boost your Immune System!
Ask someone what you could do to boost your Immune System and they will probably suggest some supplements.
That’s a great answer.
In fact, it’s such a great answer that we devoted our last episode to it (see Episode 8 - Your Body Does NOT Have An Immune System).
However, what about other ways?
What else could you do to strengthen your Immune System?
On this episode we talk about 22 ways to boost your Immune System. Interestingly, all 22 start with the letter “S” .. and yes, Sex is one of them.
*** Go to GetHealthyAlabama.com/22ways to print out a list of all 22.

Episode 8 - Your Body Does NOT Have An Immune System…
You hear about your Immune System all the time, but did you know that your body doesn’t HAVE an Immune System?
That’s because it IS an Immune System.
You see, unlike the other systems of your body, the Immune System is not identifiable by a few specific organs.
For example, your Nervous System is made up of your brain and spinal cord, your Digestive System is made up of your stomach and intestines, and your Cardiovascular System is made up of your heart and blood vessels.
However, your Immune System doesn’t have a specific set of organs and glands assigned to it.
Why?
Because keeping the body healthy and free of "foreign invaders" is SO important that ALL of the systems of the body work together to form what is more of an Immune “Community” than it is an Immune "System".
Needless to say, it's okay to call it an Immune System. It's also okay to do things to nourish and strengthen it.
In fact, it's highly recommended that you do!
Fortunately, there are many things you can do to nourish and strengthen your Immune System … twenty-one of which will be discussed in next week’s episode.
However, there is ONE that people are most interested in:
Supplements!
People are constantly seeking to learn which supplements seem to be best for the Immune System.
On this episode we try to answer that to the best of our abilities.
Hope you enjoy it!

Episode 6 - The Missing Link For Pain Relief?
If you visit a medical doctor when you are experiencing pain, you’ll most likely receive a prescription for a pain killer, a muscle relaxer and/or an anti-inflammatory.
And, while these drugs may provide some relief, they won’t, unfortunately, address the underlying cause of the pain.
If you visit a Chiropractor when you are experiencing pain, he/she may be able to help you… IF the pain is being caused by a misalignment to one or more of the bones in the body.
However, what if the pain persists?
That is, what do you do if medications, visits to the Chiropractor, and sessions with a Physical Therapist don’t resolve your problem?
The answer:
Consider seeing a “soft-tissue” specialist!
On this episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast, Betylou Pierce and Dr. George Burroughs sit down with the very gifted and talented soft-tissue specialist Chase Moye.
Although educated to be a licensed Massage Therapist, Chase has received hundreds of hours of additional training in specific soft tissue techniques. This has allowed him to develop an expertise in the care of soft-tissue dysfunction.
It has also allowed him to become somewhat of a master at helping people suffering with pain… especially those considered to be “difficult” cases.
Topics discussed on this episode:
- the pain that led Chase to a soft-tissue specialist
- soft-tissue vs hard-tissue - what’s the difference?
- “fascia” and its role in pain relief
- the 3-step protocol for treating people in pain
- what to look for in a soft-tissue specialist
This episode is extremely informative. Please share it with a friend!

Episode 5 - The Coronavirus: What You Really Need To Know
Did you know that the Coronavirus is actually the name of a family of viruses and that 20% of “common colds” are from Coronaviruses?
It’s true.
However, what makes this particular Coronavirus - “COVID-19” - a cause for concern is that, unlike other Coronaviruses, it is not spread from animals to humans… it is spread from human to human and no one has an immunity to it.
So what can you do?
Two things.
First, take precautions to avoid the Coronavirus.
Second, do things to strengthen your Immune System.
A lot of attention has, thankfully, been given to avoiding the Coronavirus. Unfortunately, not as much to strengthening the Immune System.
We want to correct that. We start by addressing WHY strengthening the Immune System is important.
Think of it this way: if you punch a bodybuilder in the shoulder, he brushes it off. If you punch a feeble older man, he crumbles.
Likewise, if a person with a strong Immune System is exposed (punched) to a virus, he/she brushes it off. If a person with a weak Immune System is exposed to a virus, he/she may get very sick.
Here’s the bottom line: the key to minimizing the impact of ANY virus is to strengthen your Immune System.
The majority of this episode focuses on this important task:
How to strengthen the Immune System - The Seven S’s
- Sugar - why you should avoid it
- Sleep - how much you need for optimal Immune function
- Sunlight - Vitamin D boosts Immunity
- Stress - what to do to manage it
- Stomach - the incredible relationship it has with the Immune System
- Spine - how staying “aligned” keeps you healthy
- Supplements - which ones you should take
