00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.719
Hi guys, welcome back to the Functional Medicine Reality Podcast.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.759
I'm your host, I'm Dr.
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:46.479
Mark Sue.
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.079
I'm here today with Dr.
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:49.039
Todd Watts.
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.920
He is a really special person in my heart and in my professional journey.
00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:06.239
While we may not know each other for for a great length of time and really more familiar than we are, Todd, I think I've told you before that I feel very connected with you on from my side for many reasons that we won't get into now.
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.480
But uh the intention of this session here is several fold.
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.359
This is one of the rotating sessions, the interviews we do with a professional.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.439
And in this case, it's a little less about specific healthcare topics.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:02:02.000
It's a little bit more of an insight into an individual who has really influenced me with humility and heart and who I look up to greatly, and someone who also has an extremely diverse and wealth of experience in the healthcare arena, not so much necessarily just as a practitioner, but as a um an entrepreneur and also someone who's been who's who's manifested extreme, in my opinion, um influence and benefit to the practitioner and patient community exponentially beyond what you can do in your own given limited time in a day or week through the Cellcore company, the supplement company that you co-founded, founded, co-founded.
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:08.319
Um anyway, that being said, uh let me go ahead and just let you introduce yourself just for a brief bit here, Dr.
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:09.520
Todd, and then we'll kind of jump in.
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:09.919
Is that cool?
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:10.639
Yeah, it's great.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:11.280
So I'm Dr.
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:12.000
Todd Watts.
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:13.919
I am out of Boise, Idaho area.
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.199
And they started Cellcore back in 2017, and Dr.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.439
Jay Davidson joined me at that time as well.
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.879
I have four kids and two

girls and two boys, and they are amazing in my life.
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.639
My wife is uh very supportive, really helped me quite a bit in in my clinic when I started that up in 2013.
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:38.719
So I started my practice when I was 45 years old, so my second career after 2008, which wasn't very great for the economy.
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.879
I was in the real estate business, the mortgage business.
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.840
I had, you know, I had decided to make a career path change.
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.599
We go back to school in 2009 and then 2013 uh graduated and started practice.
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.039
In the 17s when we started, like I said, the Cell Corps.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:53.759
Yeah.
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.840
Um, it's just been a great run of you know, my own personal history has guided me here.
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:05.439
Uh and as a kid, my mom would take us to the chiropractor, and once I did muscle testing and nutrition.
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.400
And so I've been exposed to that since I was young.
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:15.919
I remember in high school, you know, playing basketball tournaments in between games, and mom would take me to the chiropractor to get adjusted, and then we go back to the game.
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.319
And you know halftime?
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.120
Not halftime, not halftime, but just in between games.
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:22.080
So we'd finish one game.
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:23.599
Like at tournaments, okay, got it.
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:24.800
Wow, really?
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:25.439
Yeah.
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.919
And so, you know, because you get injuries, you know, between ankle injuries, back injuries, all that stuff.
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.639
I was very I was a very intense kind of personality when I was a teenager, really wanted to win.
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:43.120
And uh so my my journey was with my own health is is going through a little bit more of that natural route throughout my life.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.000
And then uh 28, I got Epstein Bar virus.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:04:00.639
That kind of put me back a little bit, and then in my 30s, developed allergies, went pain and some headaches, and then at 40, I uh, you know, I was actually in chiropractic school going to a conference, you know, uh this guy was talking about Lyme disease, and I had all these symptoms he was talking about.
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:09.520
So later I got tested at positive for Lyme and Bibesia, and then my journey of dealing with my own health issues and everything that that I was going through and struggling with.
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:28.480
You know, I was able to learn firsthand as I started practice four years later and having experienced my own journey and then other people's and going in, spending time in those clinics, and then then just working with my own patients through that process and then learning about parasites and then mycotoxinal illness and then uh you know heavy metals and bringing it all together.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.160
That's what Cellcore and Dr.
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:30.800
J and I did.
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.600
We brought it all together because his wife had Lyme disease a couple of times really bad, almost died twice.
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:48.959
And so we came together, partnered up, and just we were able to bring amazing protocols to the world with this with Cellcore of helping a lot of people down this pathway because it was my journey and his wife's journey, which was his journey to help her out.
00:04:49.120 --> 00:05:04.720
And so I've been super blessed in in so many ways of being able to, you know, in 2008 lose everything uh, you know, financially, but then yet in the same way gain everything because I learned about what was going on in my own health instead of just struggling for years and not figuring it out.
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.800
Because nobody had figured it out before that.
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.240
Doctors like, oh, it's just arthritis, you're 40, this is normal.
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:17.600
Or uh, you know, other doctors, you know, chiropractors and nature paths not understanding at that time these things because it wasn't really well known.
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:18.000
Yeah.
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:29.439
No, I love I love your comment there about I mean it's it's actually very beautiful, not shockingly, coming from me about losing losing so much, losing everything, but there's there's silver lines of the the cliche term, right?
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:36.800
There's silver lines to things, but it's really I don't know, for me, it's extremely difficult to actually embrace those kind that that positivity.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.720
It's not so much my makeup, all right.
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:57.360
But so when I hear people like patients commonly, but a lot of us as practitioners who've gone through that those roads also, to be able to see that and and actually own it with with authentic with authenticity about the um the posit not just the positivity, but the the purpose um and and the missions behind that and what comes out of that.
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.920
It's it's it's like I think about like Phoenix rising.
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.680
It's just I'm in all of it because I it's not how I'm made, it's not how I'm wired.
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:04.879
Uh so I'll have to learn that over time.
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:12.959
So there's a phrase that my wife and I talk about, but I I came up with and talked, you know, I talked to my c clients and patients about all the time.
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.399
I said, the gift is in the struggle.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:22.560
Through the struggle is where you're going to be able to come out on top and understand why you needed to go through that and learn and what is it that you learn from it.
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.959
And if you become a victim to it,
that's not the idea.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:34.639
The the idea is what you're learning from it, what you're taking away that it wasn't you know more of the gift to you for you to be prepared to help others or to be able to progress in this life.
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:35.199
Yeah.
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:35.600
Yeah.
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.480
God bless you for having for walking through that, right?
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:46.399
Because even if you're kind of wired more that way or you have that capacity to to think and execute that, you still have to you still have to walk through it and make it happen.
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:47.040
So I don't know.
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:53.920
I mean, maybe that was that's a big because you've, as I already alluded to, you've had so much from my vantage point, you've had so much impact.
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.439
I mean, you Dr.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:01.439
J Cellcore on so many lives in exponential ways that you you couldn't have done as an individual.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:08.480
So with that, I was gonna just, you know, if it's okay, I'm gonna just briefly segue um, you know, where's the the history for me with with SellCore?
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:17.199
First of all, you know, for those of you those who might be listening in who are patients through RootSeek at RootSeekHealth.com, we use a lot of Sellcore products, right?
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:17.600
We do.
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:26.000
And it's not we don't have some kind of financial affiliation, we don't have some other kind of arrangement structures or emotional attachments.
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:33.120
I I'll say right now that we we use it because um we just found I found and we found we find that it just works, right?
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:34.800
Um the products work for patients.
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.040
And so um just briefly segueing that, right?
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:42.800
Um so where I came across you, is if you may or may not remember, was a TFIM conference, right?
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.399
It was I don't remember who it was.
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.439
Did you remember Chicago 2017, somewhere around there?
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:50.480
Oh gosh, Chicago.
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.480
I I wouldn't even remember where it was.
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:53.040
Yeah.
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.680
I can picture the stage, I can picture you presenting.
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:04.240
I know other people who presented at that same time, but you presented on the bread and butter topic of Soap War with the parasites, and I'd never heard of you, didn't know who you were, you know.
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.000
Not that you were the only person I hadn't heard of, but I had no connection to you whatsoever.
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:13.360
But I remember I still have an emotional memory from that time thinking to myself, like, that's a solid dude.
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:14.720
There's an integral character.
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.079
I
don't, I don't know much about him at all, but I like that guy, right?
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:25.199
There's something about him that is as attractive with in in energy, and and um there's something genuine about him, right?
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.639
And and I remember thinking the parasite topic is like kind of new for me.
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.399
And and it didn't hurt that you weren't the only one talking about it at that conference.
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:40.159
It was a second presentation also from someone who already knew, so it helped kind of ping and you know, uh balance it out or kind of support the two talks kind of support each other.
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:46.720
But it wasn't until a couple few years after that that uh in my own professional journey I started really inquiring about that parasite topic.
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.799
And so I'm like, where am I gonna go learning about this?
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.639
Because it's not really something we spend hardly any time on in conventional medicine.
00:08:52.720 --> 00:09:00.159
I don't think I ever came across it uh, you know, in whatever number of years residency practice, whatever for total collection, maybe 15 years at that point.
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.600
And so you came to mind.
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.200
Like you you you were the first and maybe only person who came to mind at that moment.
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:16.559
And so I remembered the uh the company name, and I gave Sellcore a call, and all of a sudden they're like, Yeah, we can connect you with your local rep who we find out, you know, Tara, she's she's a PA.
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.080
I was like, what's a PA doing working for a supplement company?
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:20.559
Right?
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.720
And then it was just awesome for me because she tells her story similar to you just telling your story, which is a lot of practitioners' stories.
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:29.679
The reason we got to where we are is because we've been through it, right?
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.960
It's not just it we walk the talk and because we've gone through it.
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.840
And so uh it just really spoke to me that here's another person.
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:40.960
She's like, my life was changed, you know, using using um SOCOR products and and protocols, etc.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:55.840
So there's the uh there's this there's the origins for me with you guys, and as you know, I'll keep it really brief, is that you know, I I I wouldn't say I was dragged and screaming to Eco, your your at the annual conference for SOCOR in that year, I thought I'm guessing it was 2021, all right.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.279
Um I wasn't just skicking at kicking and screaming, but I had other conferences to go to that were two weeks before and after eco.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.679
So I was gonna be going away every other week for three, three weeks, three times in a row.
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.440
I was like, that's just that's not doable.
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.039
Because again, you you have four kids too.
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.759
So for me, four kids, I was like, that's that's not gonna happen.
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.759
But I went and it was life-changing, right?
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.080
That's as I was sharing with you before we got on.
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.679
I've said that to other practitioners as well.
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.320
Like it's the energy of the community and the vibe.
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.919
I had all I had some more negative expectations, to be honest.
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.799
But I walked away, as you know, I walked away like literally crying.
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.279
Yeah, right.
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.559
I think I've out of five times I've gone, I think I've had tears upon leaving probably four out of five times.
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.679
I'm not like an easy crier kind of guy, I mean, I don't think.
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:47.039
But so there's a background, and I think with all that, um I'm hogging airspace here, but I want to ask you, like starting off here, you've you just talked about how diverse your background is, right?
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.639
And you went into healthcare and medicine as a second career, as you say.
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:58.639
You know, and what I've painted a picture here is from my vantage point, you you have you just have such a a beautiful heart, such an empathetic heart.
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:12.000
And so maybe to start off with here, you know, what what kind of you, you know, as a as a clinician with in patient care, what what drives you, what fuels you, what fulfills you with that sense of purpose with with patient care to date?
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:17.360
I think a big part of it is going back to bringing hope to somebody who's lost hope.
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:22.399
And uh a lot of people that I've worked with, I was their last doctor, like you're like, I don't know who else to call Dr.
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.200
Watts, you're the last one, and they put it on me.
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.679
I'm like, well, that's a big burden of responsibility.
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.759
But it it goes back to they knew my heart that I wasn't gonna give up on them.
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.279
Most doctors just give up on them.
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.840
And it was down to, okay, what else is there?
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:36.879
What else could there be?
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.480
Which is where I got to all this stuff.
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.120
It wasn't because I knew it all at the beginning.
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.039
It was, okay, hey, I don't know.
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.080
My patients are the ones that taught me what was going on here.
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.000
So, like, all right, they're not getting better.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:49.279
Why aren't they getting better?
00:11:49.440 -->
00:11:52.320
And then I learned about parasites and deep dive through that.
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.080
I'm like, all right, they're doing a lot better here, but then there's still something going on.
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.240
And they're like, all right, then I learned about mold.
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:02.720
There just wasn't a lot of information about this stuff back in back in the day.
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.639
You know, I had to really do a deep dive and understanding where people were.
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.480
And I've always had a behavior heart.
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:14.159
I I'm the my brother and I, my brother's two minutes older, so we're twins, and we're the oldest of eight kids.
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.279
So I've always had a lot of responsibility raising my younger siblings.
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:24.159
My next brother's about almost six years younger than me, and then they go two years after that, like eight, 10, 12, 14, 16 years younger.
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:30.159
So my upbringing, I just always was very uh one of those that took care of my younger siblings.
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.279
Um, you know, my parents, we have a great, we have a close family.
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.600
Even today, it's you know, all of us kids are really close.
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:40.320
And my dad, um, you know, I go see him every week, and we all have a day we go see him visit him.
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.799
And he's 87, he's getting ready to go back to work here in in March, end of this month.
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.440
Uh, now that his hips replaced and he can walk again.
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:53.440
But he just thought a great work ethic and just integrity was something that they had always taught us when we were kids.
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.039
Even my first job delivering papers, you know, our paper outs back in the day.
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.360
Some of us Gen Xers could understand that.
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:05.120
But yeah, you know, I was like, look, you're he always said you're a watts boy, you know, I expect more out of you.
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:06.879
And you know, you put that paper on the porch.
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:07.919
You don't just throw it up there.
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.639
It's like you do your best job, and that'll always pay off.
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.879
And and then my mom was like the biggest, kindest hearted person that you'd ever meet.
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.759
She would give anything and help everybody you knew.
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.480
And uh it's just part of who I am and how I was raised.
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.720
And so that just translated, I just care about people.
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:30.960
I love people, and I want to see them get over their struggle and be able to have that hope restored and have a life that matters versus always being sick.
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:32.480
Yeah, no, I I I love that.
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:44.720
And I think um suddenly I'm sort of feeling like there's there's a message there, right, for for a lot of us as practitioners, because um, I don't know, so I don't think I'm the only one who can feel stuck in my own way with patient care a lot of times.
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.039
So I feel like, how come how come they're not getting better?
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.000
How come they're not getting better?
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:57.200
And then feeling that as you just talked about, like that that pressure that um many times is self-placed or self-induced or gaslit anyway internally.
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:05.759
Yeah, a lot of the colleagues I have, whether here uh brick and mortar or the virtual practice with RootSeek, that um, you know, we try to encourage ourselves or remind ourselves, you're showing up.
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:15.919
You know, you're showing up and you have a heart, and the freak that the fact that you just freaking care is 99% of the battle and 99.9% better than what they're gonna get elsewhere.
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:21.600
Not judging anybody else is just healthcare is tough, it's easy to get burned out, jaded, skeptical, whatever.
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.600
But that that that caring, that heart is you gotta refuel.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:37.519
I'm being a little hypocrite saying that there, but but you know, you've I know you've it you've you've advocated that and you know, kind of bantered on that with number of practitioners I've known, both on stage and in personal conversation.
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.679
You gotta recharge, you gotta take care of yourself.
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.440
But but if you don't have the if you gotta have the heart to to keep servicing.
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:53.360
So I I love that message about hope because um that's that's there's that's definitely something that we all as practitioners can bring to the table as long as we also recharge.
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.360
Because uh and that has immense value for patients.
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:56.159
It does.
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:56.799
Totally agree.
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:08.240
Uh so now speaking to just outside of your own personal experience, um, do you have any sort of favorite stories about your sort of mentorship or influence on other practitioners, whether in the self-core community or outside of?
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:13.840
Or the kind of I'm sure you've heard so many stories of other patients that you never saw, right?
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:22.639
That um practitioners in your community in one way or another, through your influence and mentorship, that they saw patients get breakthroughs.
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:27.919
Like, yeah, do you have any particular unique or um you know uh special places in your heart kind of stories?
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:32.960
Yeah, well, there's there there's so so many um a couple things, a couple ideas to throw by.
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:33.600
One is Dr.
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:35.039
Jay
Davidson, though Dr.
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.600
Jay's partner, but he he's just an amazing individual who is like a brother to me.
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.240
And his wife struggled with health issues when we met.
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:48.799
Still, even though she she she uh her Lyme symptoms were a lot better, she was functional, she still had a lot of health stuff.
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:53.679
That um when they come into town, I would work through, okay, what's next?
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.000
Jay's like, okay, Todd, you gotta figure this out for me.
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.360
You know, let's let's work through this.
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:12.720
And I was able to figure out what was really going on on some of her own health issues, too, where she's a vibrant personality who she used to struggle to get up in the morning and now she's up early playing pickleball multiple hours a day and living a whole life that was just you know awesomely changed.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:16.320
And um yeah, just such great people.
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.600
And then I just had so many practitioners that come up to me at Eco and say, Dr.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:21.039
Watch, you saved my life.
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.279
Um, you know, not just her patients, but also my own life, you know, with Cellcore.
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:31.279
And um really the whole Cellcore, I never planned on starting a supplement company.
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.840
Never, it was never my thing to develop products.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.440
I was just there to help people.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:39.919
And it's just that what we had on the market just wasn't enough to help the people.
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:49.440
And then um, so that's where I ended up turning into working and trying to figure out and creating products that worked and you know, working with Dr.
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:56.240
J, actually protocols that would help people through that process of addressing multiple parts of the physiology of the body.
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:02.480
It's not just like, oh, let's just kill something, let's just kill Lyme or candida or, you know, bacteria or parasites.
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.559
It's like, no, how how do we need to support the body?
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:09.839
How do we need to get the body to do it on its own and not have to be dependent upon the products forever?
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:10.240
Yeah.
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:17.519
And so it just the the company just bore, you know, was born out of a need for the market, and it just happened.
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.559
It didn't even try to grow it, didn't market it, didn't it?
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.039
Jame about because it worked.
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.319
The products work.
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:51.039
And um, sometimes people have success, really a success, other ones don't have as much, and then it's like, oh, let's just change up how you're doing and what products you're taking, how
much you're taking, like you just playing around with what what we have there, and it boom, that was the key element, or the new product that we launched, uh, you know, and somebody two days later after taking it passed big old parasite, you know, and and uh and or addressing the emotional issues, which can be uh a major, major problem with chronic health issues.
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:58.640
Uh, you have addressed deeper emotions and trauma then, and that's something that you're gonna need to need to consider on chronic chronic illness problems.
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:11.759
Yeah, you kind of you um kind of I always spoke to what I was gonna ask you eventually, if not next, you know, the sort of origins of what your intentions or goals may have been, starting so core, et cetera.
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.559
Because I've never I've never asked you that before, never heard it before.
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.319
So um, yeah, that's there's so much of that that happens in life, right?
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.799
That uh unplanned, unscripted.
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.240
And um, again, Phoenix from the from the ashes, I guess, right?
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:24.880
It's it's beautiful.
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:28.799
And I think that's just as a quick a quick background, also, that's the again, that's that was my story.
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.119
Like I'm a I'm kind of over analytical and skeptical.
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:35.119
I'm not the guy people want to see at a conference, you know, as a vendor, because I'm I'm not buying anything.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.480
I was just like you, okay?
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:37.759
I'm very similar to you.
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:45.680
So I've told people that I've sometimes I'm at the booth right there, and I'm just telling them right up front, I'm saying, like, I'm just telling you now I'm not gonna buy anything, so are you okay if I still ask questions?
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.240
Because uh yeah, I I just know it's a sale, right?
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:49.440
And and we won't get into it.
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:54.160
But I I that's kind of what my part expectations were walking to eco the first time, and then I walk away crying.
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.480
I'm like, okay, this isn't anything like I thought, right?
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:02.160
But yeah, so I'm a skeptica a skeptic, but um when I walked away from that ego, that's when I was like, okay, there's something here.
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:03.279
I I don't know how to explain it.
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:04.880
I don't know the science behind this, I don't understand.
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:17.039
It's gonna take me a long time to figure out with the analytical side of my brain, but I'm just gonna decide to be one of these fewer times, error times, I'm just gonna decide to surrender that, submit that, and um just be coachable.
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:17.440
Right.
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:19.440
And then it was like, oh my gosh, right.
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.599
And and I won't go into more detail, but um, yeah, it just it's not any kind of guarantee.
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:29.200
Obviously, there's there's there's there's still a journey that patients walk through and practitioners walk through alongside as well.
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:34.000
But uh yeah, it's it's a it's amazing the kind of the kind of outcomes people get with with the stuff that you guys have created.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:49.440
And again, it's just the the amount of the normity of the impact that I see, that I see on pre practitioners and patients, and and as you said, the practitioners, that must be so humbling to hear so many people like say that to you recurrently, like you saved my life, you saved my family's life, you saved my patients' lives, right?
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.680
It's that's not a trivial thing to say, right?
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.160
It's it's one thing to say, like, I feel so much better.
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.559
It's another thing when people actually say, like, you saved my life.
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:57.599
Like, how often do you hear that?
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.119
I mean, I'm sick of saying to generally to other practitioners, like, how often do we hear that?
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:05.119
I think in conventional medicine, the only time you'd ever hear that is from like a trauma surgeon, right?
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:06.799
Or a heart surgeon or a brain surgeon or something like that.
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.720
I don't I don't think anyone ever hears that.
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:42.920
What's interesting with that too is like look there, there'll be I took every product on the market, like they they're practitioners, they have access to every to all these different supplements and medications and things, and Cellcore is what helped them out.
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:49.559
It's really good because I just really enjoyed just the how that just is so rewarding to see the efforts that I made.
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:56.120
But I remember I presented at a conference, at one of the eco conferences, the exponential clinical outcome conferences.
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:05.960
And the the part of it was um I presented on a gal that came into me as having 25 seizures a day, non-functional, had to be carried in the office.
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:11.799
Started having seizures on my um on literally on the um right there in my in my clinic on the bench.
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:18.039
And so I worked through what her issues were, and and so many doctors missed so many things on her, like basic.
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:28.840
I mean, she'd been to so many medical doctors, so many nature paths, functional med doctors, you know, muscle testers, and they missed basic stuff of like, did you go international, did you drink the water, did you eat the food?
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:34.200
Didn't have parasites, and nobody ever told her she had probably had a parasite, which was in her
brain nervous system.
00:21:34.360 --> 00:21:44.600
So we went through that process of being able to get her life back to where now she has a super thriving interior design business here locally, uh one of the top, fastest growing interior design businesses in the valley.
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.680
And um, my daughter actually just started working working with her.
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:49.640
Oh, wow.
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:50.759
Oh, that's so cool.
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:51.559
Part-time.
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:56.360
And it's just it's just fun to see how her life is changed by by such a thing.
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.559
I presented her video that her her husband had put together at one point.
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:00.120
I remember that.
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:00.759
Yeah, I remember this.
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.880
I remember this presentation.
00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:11.319
And then I had an I remember one of the first people I worked with here in Boise, this gal came in and it's like, I'm having all this anxiety, a breakdown at work, uh crying.
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:12.519
She was a paralegal.
00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:13.799
It's like this is not normal.
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:15.880
And so we're working through some things there.
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:18.440
And and um and I'm like, Well, how's your husband's health?
00:22:18.600 --> 00:22:22.200
And start talking, like, oh man, he He has all this anxiety stuff and blah blah blah.
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:23.480
And he's overwhelmed.
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:25.400
And like, you guys got mold in your house?
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:26.920
Oh, you need to check your attic.
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.680
Sure enough, this whole thing was covered in black mold attic and then down the walls.
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:40.759
And I'm tearing the whole house down, digging the basement out and rebuilding a whole new house, and then just giving them the biotoxin binder heavy doses, literally in 30 days, changed their life.
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.720
And and and so just there's so many different stories.
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:55.000
I mean, even in my own life, of massive fatigue and function in my 40s that the binders just completely within 60 days wiped out, and I actually had energy to be able to work out again.
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.319
I hadn't been able to work out for about 10 years.
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:03.160
So it just there it just it it you follow the process and and you have part of it also is a mental thing.
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:20.039
You know, I listened to a lot of things to help drive my mental positivity, which I believe is really important in in the in the journey, and whatever that may be, working on your spiritual health as well as working on your mental positivity health and thinking there is hope and you're gonna get through this because that changes your physiology too.
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:35.240
Yeah, you know, you you guys um I mean you're you're you're talking about um there's there's a a bit of a recurring theme that uh just organically has come out of our conversation here about the emotional and energetic parts of of life and of health or or disease or you know, symptoms, et cetera.
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:48.440
And um I mean I a couple things come to mind there, but let me just kind of simplify and you know, I gotta I gotta ask, you know, you and I both talked about, I mean, obviously you you live it, you you've lived it, you live it with the cell core community, but I've also alluded to it.
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.720
That that first time I I was there with you go, it was like it was just a whole different experience for me, right?
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:58.440
I mean, okay, I'm just gonna say I walked I walked in expecting it to be like a trade show, right?
00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:02.600
I was like, this is a supplement company, it's gonna be about the products, right?
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:04.200
But I'm and here I am, okay.
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:07.720
I don't even know how I got there, but I here I am, and I walk away crying, right?
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.920
I'm like, okay, this is so not what I was I was expecting.
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.200
And so what I'm what I'm asking is here is how did that come about?
00:24:14.360 --> 00:24:20.360
You know, we we were just talking about right before getting on on the call here, like how much, you know, this this is it's the 10th year of Eco coming up, right?
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:22.200
That's that's part of I I volunteered.
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:23.400
Let's just make it clear.
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:25.799
This is not a paid recording here, okay?
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.559
There was no request from Cellcore or you or anybody else asking me to do this.
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:37.640
I did this, I approached you saying, hey, um, this might be a cool thing to release this, and especially with Eco coming up in um, you know, early May.
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.039
Uh so yeah, what's what's the website there, right?
00:24:40.120 --> 00:24:41.079
Cellcore.com.
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.519
You can find the uh registration link for anybody for the eco conference.
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:46.279
Thank you.
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:47.480
No attachments here, right?
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:57.160
There's no financial, no emotional, no other attachments other than me saying, I'm happy to um propose this or make this happen because it it was such an experience for me.
00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.319
It was it's been such an influence on my journey.
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:04.279
But how the heck, part of that for me, that first year and every year after, like literally every year, okay?
00:25:04.360 --> 00:25:09.559
I mean, I go into every year going like, you gotta keep your expectations kind of tempered, Mark.
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.279
Like you can't expect lightning to hit twice, right?
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:13.640
Much less five, six
years.
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.600
And I I'm not kidding.
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.400
Like I cried four out of five times or five out of six times, whatever it's been.
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:18.120
I'm I'm not kidding.
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:18.840
There's only one time.
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.880
I was like, oh, there you go.
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:21.079
Like it doesn't happen every time.
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:26.840
And it's not just about I mean, sometimes it's as you described, the the practitioners giving um a presentation.
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.440
And then I still remember, I won't I don't remember her name, but I remember that individual.
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:32.360
She's um a practitioner in Canada.
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:35.720
She's worked with like, you know, Olympic athletes, and like you'll know who I'm talking about.
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:36.120
I do.
00:25:36.360 --> 00:25:45.720
And I mean, the mount the amount of genuinity about her talking about uh how much she healed and how appreciative she was and just uh her her tearfulness, I was I mean, I I get emotional just thinking about that.
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:47.880
And that was what, three years ago, maybe or something like that, right?
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.400
I the number of the amount of impact you guys have had, it's it's just beyond.
00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:53.400
But the cell core community, right?
00:25:53.559 --> 00:26:03.559
How the heck is it that you guys found or fostered and nurtured such an emotionally empathetic and positive energy?
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:05.319
I positive it's too trivial word.
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:06.120
I don't even know what to use.
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:07.880
This that heartfelt community.
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:09.160
Like how did that happen?
00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:12.360
Was that was that even intentional or designed in any kind of way?
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.440
Or is that just like a gift that just happened?
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:15.960
No, that's a that just happened.
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:17.720
That's just who we are, that's just who I am.
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:23.240
And that's it's interesting because I'll have people come up to me and say, Todd, this is this is here because of you.
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:24.680
You're the heart of the company.
00:26:24.840 --> 00:26:25.079
Yeah.
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:33.559
And it it's uh to me, it's more important that we're getting information out to practitioners to become the best practitioner that they can be and how they can help their patients.
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:35.079
I don't care about selling the products.
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:39.559
I care about is I care about helping the practitioner help their patients.
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:44.200
And it's just we attract, we attract those heartfelt practitioners.
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:46.920
We attract who, you know, who were like you, right?
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:50.600
Because that's who was drawn to um Cellcore.
00:26:50.920 --> 00:27:01.559
And so we just attracted a lot of people that just were heartfelt based, that want to help people, that want to do good, that want to help, and move the move life forward for people.
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:03.960
And uh, you know, we just started doing it.
00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:07.720
Just the initial one was was like, oh, let's just throw a thing.
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.440
It was 85 people practitioners who wanted the education.
00:27:10.600 --> 00:27:13.960
They wanted us to put like our process together for them and teach us.
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.640
So Jay and I'd talk for three straight days before we had other practitioners.
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.120
And the next one we we taught for the same thing.
00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:25.319
And then there's another the third one, I think we taught the muscle testing, and then that like five straight days.
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:26.759
And Jay's like, never again.
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:27.799
It's too much.
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:29.720
But then we brought other practitioners.
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:36.279
So then we only spoke like once a day, but we brought practitioners experts in their areas to help come share what was working for everybody.
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:38.039
Like we don't need to teach everything.
00:27:38.120 --> 00:27:39.319
We're not experts on everything.
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:56.600
We're just experts on what we do, but yet people are using these products in all different areas, you know, from cardiology to hormone, you know, preconception to, you know, breast implant illness, you know, mold illness, to Lyme disease, to parasite infections, to autoimmune disease, to autism, right?
00:27:56.840 --> 00:27:59.720
These amazing stories on autism and how it's reversed.
00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:10.440
And I've had a lot of kids I've worked with that have had phenomenal results, and their parents are super grateful because you know their functions function at such a higher level than where they were when they were totally non-verbal.
00:28:10.840 --> 00:28:14.920
So it's uh I think it goes back to our intention, it's just to help, and that's it.
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:16.519
It's just to help, and we love people.
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:17.480
That's who we are.
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:20.519
Yeah, it's just it's it's I can't really speak to it.
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:24.840
It's it's sort of almost dishonoring it trying to describe it, but it's it's just amazing.
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:25.400
I don't know.
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:26.120
It's just amazing.
00:28:26.360 --> 00:28:33.160
Yeah, I I that's the only thing that comes to my mind as well, is just it's a trickle-down effect from who you and Jay are, right?
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:36.519
You guys are it's an interesting, you know, observing you guys, it's a little bit like yin and yang.
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:40.440
You you're different personalities and such, but it's it's such an
a unique balance.
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:51.640
And um and I've and I've said this to colleagues many times that uh there's there's you can tell it's it's it's it's infectious, it's contagious, the the conviction, right?
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:52.759
The conviction, passion.
00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:58.440
I mean, I might say, hey, I person uh my personality and makeup aligns much more with like Dr.
00:28:58.600 --> 00:28:59.640
Todd's personality than Dr.
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.759
J's, but there's parts of Dr.
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.799
J's that like I love that, like that, that right?
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:05.960
That that kind of like kind of drive feeling.
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:13.079
Like, man, like you know, when I was growing up in my early like spiritual walk, like I loved listening to the black community church pastors.
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:13.880
Yes, totally.
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:16.200
I was like, yeah, bring it on, right?
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:17.160
Because it's not me.
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:24.600
I'm such a quiet guy, but like, oh yeah, when someone else is doing that, you know, and I can like live it through them vicariously, I'm like, yeah, yeah, get me there.
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:25.880
I'm I'm there with you, right?
00:29:26.120 --> 00:29:30.600
So it's it's such an interesting balance between you guys and but yeah, I'm not I'm not surprised.
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.079
Uh it's just you guys have done an amazing job.
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:41.160
And again, it's not just about the company, it's not just about the products, it's it's that community and the um the impact that that then has in service to to patients.
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:49.079
Yeah, the practitioners as patients as well, them getting better, but then that just trickles down even, you know, that's a magnifold influential impact on patients that they see.
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:53.079
Because that that's a that fuels when we when we experience ourselves, right?
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.920
We we well know this, it it fuels us like for for such a long time.
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:09.960
Because this is not an easy thing dealing with patients who are so chronically and complexly sick, but part of where we get the fuel is seeing the breakthroughs and when we see it, and much less when we get experience ourselves, like that that is sustaining energy, right?
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:19.720
And then when you see it in other people, much less practitioner colleagues who might also be skeptical in background and nature and all that, uh it just the impact is is exponential.
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:23.480
So uh anyway, I'm just I'm just bragging on you guys, but it's it's but it's genuine.
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:25.000
So, but let's speaking of Dr.
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.319
J.
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:34.519
So you talked about how you know that was a great, um, a special place in your heart with that history with he and his wife's uh her his wife's journey, specifically, her health journey.
00:30:34.600 --> 00:30:36.200
But flipping it around, I'm curious.
00:30:36.360 --> 00:30:40.360
I've never asked you, like, what kind of ways come to your mind in terms of how he's made you a better person?
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:43.400
So J Jay is he he's just fun to be around, right?
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:43.880
Yeah.
00:30:44.120 --> 00:30:48.759
Uh part of what helps is I'm more of that analytical guy, similar to you, right?
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:50.600
I'm more analytical, a little more quiet.
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.640
I don't like to be on stage uh in front of people speaking.
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:55.079
That that's really hard for me.
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:56.440
Uh Disa was.
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:01.960
Um, so he I'll I'll work on our product and it'll be three years, two and a half years.
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:05.720
And he's like, Todd, it's good enough to get it to the market to get people to help people.
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:12.039
And so he really helped me to learn how to stop overanalyzing, you know, get that analysis paralysis type thing.
00:31:12.120 --> 00:31:12.759
Yeah.
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:14.680
And just go with it.
00:31:14.840 --> 00:31:20.120
I mean, I remember first when we first started, we first met, you know, as I Todd, we're getting to know each other.
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:22.039
Like, you know so much already.
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.799
Just put your time and effort into getting out there and educating people.
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:28.759
You don't need to keep going to all these seminars and learning all these different stuff.
00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:32.039
You already know incredible amounts that these other people don't even know.
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:33.000
Just be confident.
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.200
You're a great practitioner.
00:31:34.360 --> 00:31:37.240
And as analytical people, it's like we can never know enough, right?
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:37.640
Yeah.
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:43.720
And so he helped bring a lot of confidence into myself as well as just like, hey, let's get stuff started.
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:44.920
Let's move things forward.
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:51.000
And, you know, let's, you know, you're you're his encouragement to speak and and his abilities.
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:56.039
I learned so much on his ability to like put together these protocols and the education.
00:31:56.120 --> 00:31:58.600
Like, he's so good at like lining things out.
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:00.200
I have all that stuff up in here.
00:32:00.360 --> 00:32:04.600
He's great at extracting it out of here and putting it all out on paper and then teaching it.
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:06.200
Like his superpower is amazing.
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:06.840
That's awesome.
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:12.200
And so I laughed because it took years and he's like, How'd you come up with the name Cell Core?
00:32:12.360 --> 00:32:17.799
And one day I was well, you
know, it it's you know, the power of the cell, the core of the cell, right?
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:19.480
Power of the cell is mitochondria.
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.360
And so, you know, that's that's kind of where I was looking at it.
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:24.440
It's like, hey, you gotta have energy to power everything.
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:25.559
So cell core.
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.519
And um, he, you know, he didn't know all these stories.
00:32:28.600 --> 00:32:33.559
We've been partners for several years, and it's just so funny how he's always, you know, I recall that.
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:34.840
I recall that when you guys were on stage.
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:43.000
I don't think it like was in the moment that he learned that, but I think that was pretty much like it was just in the recent months before that, and that was only probably like three years ago.
00:32:44.120 --> 00:32:49.720
So funny, and uh we'd laugh because uh for me, I'm such an internal processor, yeah.
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:56.759
And um, and so a lot of the stuff was just getting it out of my brain, and him and Ryan were great at doing that.
00:32:56.920 --> 00:33:00.920
Uh and just his his positivity and energy is just contagious.
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:02.360
He loves the challenge, right?
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:06.440
He's the guy who's gonna challenge the current narrative and his ability to research.
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:11.720
Like he's our amazing researcher, and to bring it and put it into words and present it is incredible.
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:18.759
So I've learned a lot through all of that, and then even the way he thinks through on patient care and his experience with that, and it's just been awesome.
00:33:18.840 --> 00:33:31.480
We we just blend together, like our you know, one of my mentors at our first conference, he's in his 70s, close to 80 now, but back then in the early 70s, and he he made a comment to me afterwards like, Did you guys practice your presentations together?
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:33.960
Like when you're up there, like who's gonna speak what and what you're doing?
00:33:34.120 --> 00:33:37.079
And it's like, no, we just get up there and we just roll.
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:38.840
Our chemistry is amazing.
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:39.400
Yeah.
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:42.840
And so I mean, we were band grooming good friends.
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:51.799
He went to his house in uh in November and he comes out twice in the summer to go to the desert with us to go you know with the razors and camping and stuff.
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:55.799
And uh he's just an incredible uh individual that uh you're a friend of mine.
00:33:56.360 --> 00:33:57.000
Such a gift.
00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:57.720
Yeah.
00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:59.559
Unplanned, unscripted in life.
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:00.759
That's such a gift.
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:10.759
And I imagine some of that's got to translated into personal life also, you know, outside of so
core workplace, patient care, in terms of that uh, hey, perfection, progress, progress over perfection, that kind of stuff.
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:14.440
Yep, it helped me a lot, for sure, on uh on in all levels of life.
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:18.279
Yeah, just moving moving forward, not not just holding back until it's perfect.
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:22.759
It'll get perfect as you're doing it and that you just practiced it like any, like anything.
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.799
You can think about tennis all you want, but until you're out there actually doing the strokes, you're not gonna get really good at it.
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:29.639
So put into action.
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:31.240
Practitioners are the same way.
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:32.760
We're all we're all practicing, right?
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.800
Yeah, no, I love that.
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:44.119
I love that uh message because uh I question that oftentimes myself, uh whether to myself or to for colleagues, and not in a judgy way, just a observational and reflection way.
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:49.400
And so maybe this is a message that we could throw out here right now for practitioners to say, hey, in the same way that Dr.
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:54.599
J had um encouraged and influenced you in that regard, like you're showing up.
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:56.760
You know a lot, you know more than you know.
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:00.119
More that you know more you're more equipped than you believe you are.
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:10.360
Just show up and be confident and um and know that you're bringing more to the table than, you know, again, 99% of what most people experience with healthcare, right?
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:13.480
Uh whether it's because of the systems or the individuals or the practitioners, it doesn't matter.
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:19.240
The thing is you're bringing more to the table in spades than everybody else just because number one, you care.
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.039
And number two, you have more tools than you than you realize.
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:23.960
Just become just just put it in action.
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:28.280
And so I'm sure there's a lot of practice, because we you and I both know there's a lot of practitioners who do that a lot.
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:33.000
It's like that we become professional conference um attendees, right?
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:34.199
Like a conference groupies.
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:36.199
Like we're always trying to learn more, learn more.
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:38.360
And I do question that sometimes with individuals.
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:43.240
Again, not as critici criticism, just sometimes I'm a couple of times I've said the same thing.
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:45.400
Hey, like, why are you going to that conference?
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:46.760
Why why are you going to that conference?
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:48.039
Like, do you need to?
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:50.199
You just talked about how time, money, whatever.
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:58.599
Yeah, we're not we're not gonna be God and solve be able to know everything with the human body, but when you have the heart and you show up, you bring you bring so much more to the table than you realize.
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:00.920
As you said, bringing the the hope as a first place, right?
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:02.440
Just as a first point of basis.
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:05.320
So maybe we land on this with the last kind of question here.
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.760
So we're talking now about uh patient experiences, right?
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:13.400
And um we're all about trying to we're just collectively are all about trying to help people, right?
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:18.760
Being of service, fulfilling a missional heart intent individually, collectively as practitioners.
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:28.119
Do you have any thoughts on what's most needed by patients for sort of like in on a more systems level these days, uh more optimal healthcare delivery, right?
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:38.920
In this sort of functional medicine or foundational medicine, this integrated medicine arena specifically, where we're not talking about we we could get into arguments about insurance coverage and whatever else, but let's leave that to the side, okay?
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:42.440
Because that's just too complicated and I don't know that I ever see that happening anyway, right?
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.679
Um have any thoughts on how more patients can get better faster?
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:48.119
You know, is it systems of care?
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:49.639
Is it regulation changes?
00:36:49.800 --> 00:37:03.639
Is it uh any thoughts on what's happening with AI and such, or maybe thoughts on how practitioners can be more effective in individually, especially those who are kind of like struggling to struggling on some level on a sort of a business level?
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:05.960
That's probably a lot of sub-questions, I apologize.
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:06.840
Pick and choose.
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:15.400
Yeah, so on a business level for practitioners, part of part of what I've coached other practitioners on is like, what do you want?
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.639
And they like, oh, I want this clinic, I'm gonna have this big clinic, people come in, and I want to do this, this, and that.
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:21.720
And I'm like, all right, that's great.
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.920
Let's step back first.
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:24.280
What do you want on a personal level?
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:25.320
What do you want at your home?
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.360
Oh, I want more free time, I want to spend more time with my kids, I want to be able to have trips and do things.
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:39.480
So everything we're gonna build your clinic of is gonna be based off of what your personal needs are, because that's where life is fulfilled, not what you accomplish in your clinic.
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:46.360
So once you're solid on your basis of what you want to accomplish there, then you can build your goals around being sure that you can create the life that you want.
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:50.280
Right up here, you can see it this thing right here, it's a little ocean picture behind me.
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:51.639
It says create the life that you want.
00:37:51.720 --> 00:37:55.159
That was our motto for 2025 and for our family.
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:59.960
And that's where it has to start is in in in in in anything, right?
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:01.800
For anybody in any career.
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:05.159
You want to create the life you want, and you have to identify what that's gonna be.
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:06.679
And then you build around that.
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:16.599
And then your goals, once you're more clear on that, then you can say, okay, you need a niche, and then from there, then do a deep dive into that niche and become an expert and then be able to get that message out for success.
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:19.079
But you know, what's gonna change things?
00:38:19.240 --> 00:38:21.320
I think one several things.
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:28.039
One, if we can get RFK Junior up there, FDA to pass a few things, really stop regulating peptides.
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:29.960
I think peptides can be very beneficial.
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:32.119
And then the other one is plant-based medicine.
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:42.199
Because I think through plant-based medicine, more it goes deeper into a healing process that I've seen some of my really chronically patient, chronic patients I couldn't make headway with.
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:45.639
They had phenomenal results with acilocybin, NVMe.
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:50.119
Um, you know, I've had a niece that go down to Mexico for ibogaine.
00:38:50.280 --> 00:39:03.800
Uh there, there's there's just a lot of options out there for, you know, everywhere from concussions, brain, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, all these things that everybody is holding on to some type of trauma.
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:06.039
But some people have had a lot more trauma than others.
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.360
That's being stored, that's affecting their health.
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:11.559
So as those things, you you see a lot of progress in that area right now.
00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:19.880
I'm hoping that that can move forward because once that opens up, it'll open up a whole new level of healing that I think no but people can't even comprehend.
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.039
Yeah, I valid I second validate that.
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.320
Uh, we were just talking about a conference I went to in December, you know, humongo conference.
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:26.679
And there's a humongous talk on that.
00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:28.119
That was really eye-opening for me.
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:38.599
And then I've subsequently had a number of patients, um yeah, uh not not ten, but I've had a uh far more than ever before patients who've now stepped into that world a bit.
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:40.599
And yeah, it's pretty eye-punning for me for sure.
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:42.119
I I validate that for sure.
00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:46.039
And and then from there just, you know, having the hope.
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:49.159
And if if if it's not there, then these things can really, really be beneficial.
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:57.159
But peptide, I think I think the future a lot of it is peptides, plant-based medicine, and then this regular stuff, what we do, right?
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:04.760
Basically the cell core protocols have are addressing so many of the underlying issues of what we're dealing with in today's environment of toxicity.
00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:11.559
So you gotta be very cognitive, you know, cognizant of toxicity uh in today's environment.
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:12.760
Yeah, yeah.
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:17.639
And that's a that's a lot of what um obviously that's a that's a huge part of what SellCore is about.
00:40:17.720 --> 00:40:25.079
And it's and again, I it's really striking to me how much the um the topic about emotional energy and and here, you know, even going further, talking about trauma.
00:40:25.240 --> 00:40:36.760
That's it's I mean, I've heard that for so many years and various conferences and talks and this and that, but uh I mean, I'm still now to this day, I'm still finding that the the depth of that is it's so impressionable on me and so eye-opening.
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:45.880
It's it's such an interesting dichotomy, you know, in the soccer world, talking about on the one hand, a lot of this, you know, toxins and really granular cellular biology, physiology stuff.
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:55.320
And on the other hand, like you there's a huge emphasis and spotlight on that whole emotional energy piece and even energy in general in the soccer community.
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:58.440
It's such an interesting dichotomy, and I just uh yeah, I just really appreciate that.
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:03.960
And let's say it's it's very it's very fueling and um resonant for me internally.
00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:17.000
Yeah, the purpose of that question really, you know, just kind of bring it to application is if you're a practitioner hearing this, then uh my argument, and feel free to chime in or edit me, correct me, uh if you're a practitioner, hey, there's some free coaching right there, right?
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:21.960
On not just starting a practice or a professional journey, but it's sustaining, right?
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:23.960
And it's never too late to pivot and modify.
00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:30.840
And and I'm sitting here reflecting for myself, even both my wife and I, you know, my wife is, I often say to people, she's busier than I am professionally.
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:32.280
Um, it's just kind of chaotic.
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:34.920
So yeah, there's there's free
coaching right there for us as practitioners.
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:42.280
If you're a patient, the application here is um this is partly what what happens in patient experience with practitioners.
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:51.400
I I've had patients say things like, yeah, the I was working with so-and-so, and they always were kind of working with me this way, and then something just changed, right?
00:41:51.559 --> 00:42:04.119
Like either the way the office or the practice kind of operated, or sort of the the communication dynamics, or there there's some kind of like emotional shift that they couldn't really well explain, you know, in terms of synergy or collaboration, whatever it is.
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:12.440
And this isn't a value bias assessment, uh, value-attached commentary that um look, people we're pee we're still people, and things can change.
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:20.440
And so as a patient, I'm regularly trying to help when they're working when we're talking about their experiences with other practitioners, uh, I don't care if it's conventional, functional, whatever.
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:35.320
I'm commonly saying like trying to encourage them and to to have some insight on what might be happening on the back end, whether with that practitioner or the system, the local system, larger systems, and how do you navigate that so that you can get your best outcome as a patient because that's you're the person we care about.
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:35.480
Yeah.
00:42:35.720 --> 00:42:44.039
But it's it's not a it's not it's not a transactional like buying something off of um the web or Amazon or whatever, you know, and just pay my credit card and it comes back.
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:45.639
It's it's more complicated than that.
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:46.599
It is.
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:47.720
For sure.
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:49.720
Well, I appreciate your time today, Mark.
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:50.760
I I love it.
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:51.880
Conversations with you.
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:54.119
I I know you and I could talk for hours and hours.
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:55.559
Yeah, it's just it's just awesome.
00:42:55.639 --> 00:43:01.960
I really enjoy the the deep thoughts and um even the deep science we get into at times.
00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:17.559
Um I love seeing how you've changed over over the years of where you're so analytical to where you've embraced a little bit more of the heartfelt and energetic work, which is like, wow, an MD uh is actually doing this.
00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:18.840
Wow.
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:20.119
All the time, every day.
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:22.280
Every day, multiple times a day.
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:27.720
You you've embraced it and just has flourished and just helping so many people, and that's just so awesome to see.
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:29.400
Thanks for thanks for helping people out.
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:32.199
Yeah, no, thanks for your your uh influence in mentorship.
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:38.039
I still remember that first eco I went to, one of those things, one of those memories was um at the end, I remember I was speaking analytical.
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:38.840
I was sitting there at the table.
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:40.519
I think the conference had already ended, right?
00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:41.880
They're cleaning up the room.
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:47.079
I'm sitting there at the table, like I don't know if I was reviewing notes or writing something down or whatever, and out of the corner of my eye, there comes Dr.
00:43:47.240 --> 00:43:47.880
Todd Watts.
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:50.039
He sits down, you know, it's like, hey, thanks for coming.
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:50.679
How are you doing?
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:53.559
And it's it I just felt like, wow, he's like, how does he have time for this?
00:43:53.639 --> 00:43:55.000
But um anyway, that's who you are.
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:56.280
So that's why I invited you.
00:43:56.360 --> 00:44:05.559
That's why I'm sitting here um uh, you know, uh of my own volition, saying, Hey, if you're a practitioner thinking about eco at all, um it's not it's not too late.
00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.440
Um it's uh tell me the day date scan, you probably have it off the top of your head.
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:09.400
Is it first weekend of May?
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:10.519
First weekend of May, yeah.
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:11.000
Okay.
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:13.800
I mean, I've I've got it find out, but I just don't remember the dates off the top of my head.
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:17.240
I couldn't remember if it's the first, second weekend, but um Yeah, it's an awesome time.
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:18.679
I love I personally I love Boise.
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:19.720
Boise, not Boise.
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:20.920
Boise, right?
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:21.320
Right.
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:24.519
I love Boise.
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:25.880
I love that downtown area.
00:44:26.039 --> 00:44:30.840
If you're interested in going, hey, uh, there's there's some discount uh codes you can use if you're registering online.
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:36.199
You can DM us if we won't um, you know, there's there's ways to help help get you in.
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:41.639
And um if you if you go and we've never met before, if you're a practitioner, yeah, feel free to to find me.
00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:44.519
I'll introduce you to folks and uh would love to see you there.
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:46.039
So anyway, thanks, thanks, Todd.
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:46.679
Really appreciate it.
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:47.800
Been wanting to do this for a bit.
00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:49.400
Timing seemed like it was a good fit.
00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:51.400
So um looking forward to see you in Boise.
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:52.039
Likewise.
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:52.679
See you soon.
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:53.720
Thanks.
