Bestselling author Kevin Trudeau joined us for an unfiltered conversation on Joann Butler In Studio With... about his new book, Your Wish Is Your Command: How to Manifest Your Desires - The Missing Secrets . Trudeau broke down why he believes manifestation is more than vision boards and positive thinking, calling success a 'mathematical formula' built on clear goals, action, gratitude, and discipline. The conversation also touched on Trudeau's controversial past and his blockbuster book Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About , with Trudeau arguing many of the health topics he was criticized for 20 years ago -- from processed foods to toxins and chemicals -- are now mainstream conversations. He also sounded off on GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, supplements, stress, relationships, and the daily habits he says help keep him calm, productive, and focused. Along the way, Trudeau shared stories about Arnold Schwarzenegger, relationship advice inspired by John Gray, and why letting go of attachment may be the real secret to happiness...This is a LifeMinute with Kevin Trudeau.

00:00:00Every single person is born to win, but they've been conditioned to lose.
00:00:05It's not going to manifest anything.
00:00:07I busted my butt and I actually went out and made it happen.
00:00:10Natural cure is so controversial.
00:00:13It was controversial back then.
00:00:14It isn't controversial anymore because everything in its mainstream.
00:00:17By the way, that goes in the Kevin was right file.
00:00:20And that file's pretty darn thick.
00:00:22I'm Kevin Trudeau and you're watching Life Minute TV.
00:00:26Kevin Trudeau, welcome to Life Minute.
00:00:28Glad to be here.
00:00:29It's good to see you.
00:00:30You're looking well.
00:00:31So are you.
00:00:32I like your studio.
00:00:35Well, congrats on your new book.
00:00:36Yes, it's the newest book, Your Wish is Your Command, How to Manifest Your Desires.
00:00:40As you know, I have six number one New York Times bestsellers.
00:00:43My books have sold almost 100 million copies around the world.
00:00:46And this is really the first book on manifesting.
00:00:49That's the hot word today, right?
00:00:52Manifest your desires.
00:00:53Manifest your reality.
00:00:55Create the reality that you want.
00:00:57And it's really a misnomer.
00:00:59And the reason why I had to come out with this book is back in my day, it was about
00:01:04how to set and achieve your goals.
00:01:06The word was achievement, how to have achievement in your life.
00:01:11Now it's manifest.
00:01:12And the challenge with that is a lot of people, you know, hear about the law of attraction or think
00:01:17about manifesting and how to create your reality.
00:01:20And they think all you have to do is kind of visualize what you want and just kind of own
00:01:25and sit in your house and vibrate good things and feel good now and always be in gratitude and appreciation.
00:01:32And the universe is going to shower you with riches and pay off all your credit cards and give you
00:01:37the job of your dreams and give you the relationship of your dreams and the body of your dreams and
00:01:41everything that your heart desires.
00:01:43All your fantasies and wishes are going to magically come true and that is delusional.
00:01:48That's not how it works in real life.
00:01:50When you are in a room with 30 or 40 guys, each who have a net worth of a minimum
00:01:56of $200 million, and when you talk to them and say, how did you manifest that?
00:02:01They almost giggle at the word manifest.
00:02:04I didn't manifest anything.
00:02:05I busted my butt and I actually went out and made it happen.
00:02:09All right, well, what did you do?
00:02:10And then when you talk to people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who says, I worked, I worked, I worked, I worked,
00:02:15I worked, but then he also says, I pictured in my mind's eye, me winning Mr. Olympia.
00:02:22And I felt as if I was actually winning Mr. Olympia.
00:02:26I would visualize that every night.
00:02:27So they actually do some of the steps in the manifesting formulas, but there's things that they also do that
00:02:36aren't in any of the books.
00:02:37And this is why I wrote the book, Your Wishes, Your Command, How to Manifest Your Desires, The Missing Secrets,
00:02:43because I fill in the gaps.
00:02:44It answers the question that most people get when they say, listen, I read, you know, The Secret.
00:02:49I understood The Law of Attraction.
00:02:50I've read Ask and It Is Given.
00:02:52I read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
00:02:54All good books, by the way, and I'll recommend, I recommend them all.
00:02:58But I read all these books and I'm not making more money and I haven't manifested my relationship or whatever.
00:03:04What am I doing wrong?
00:03:05And invariably, there are missing ingredients that people do not do, that those who do achieve their goals and, quote,
00:03:17manifest what they want, they do do.
00:03:20And so there's common denominators and that's what's in the book.
00:03:23Can you spill any of them?
00:03:25I can.
00:03:26I'll give you a whole bunch, all for free.
00:03:28Here's one major, major thing.
00:03:30If you ask anyone, and I've asked hundreds of people, I said, you've read The Secret, The Law of Success
00:03:38in 16 Lessons by Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Ask and It Is Given by Esther
00:03:43Hicks, and on and on and on.
00:03:45Yes, I read them all.
00:03:46You've gone to all the seminars by all the success gurus.
00:03:48Yes.
00:03:49What is the four or five-step formula for manifesting your goals?
00:03:55Nobody can tell you.
00:03:56They've gone to all these seminars.
00:03:58They've read all these books, but they can't even tell you what the steps are.
00:04:01They say, well, you have to picture in your mind.
00:04:02That's not step one.
00:04:04What's step one?
00:04:05Well, you have to feel good now.
00:04:07No, that's not step one.
00:04:08You have to be thankful and grateful and always look for, you know, things to be thankful.
00:04:13That's not step one.
00:04:15Step one is actually something that's not in any of the books, and that is this.
00:04:19It's the why behind the why.
00:04:21Winners love to win, but they hate to lose.
00:04:25Remember Vince Lombardi, the great football coach of the Green Bay Packers?
00:04:29He said, show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
00:04:32People are more motivated to avoid pain than to gain pleasure.
00:04:35So the first thing a person has to do, if they want to achieve anything, is they have
00:04:40to know what their pain point is.
00:04:42What is it in their life they're not willing to accept anymore?
00:04:45Jim Rohn, one of the great motivational success speakers of all time, was the sweetest guy
00:04:51in the world.
00:04:51But he said repeatedly, the number one emotion that you have to use if you want to achieve
00:04:59things in life and attain success is you have to activate disgust.
00:05:03He said, you have to find something in your life that disgusts you, that you're disgusted
00:05:09with, that you will not tolerate any more.
00:05:12Unless you find what you don't want and get disgusted with it, you can't contract the energy
00:05:19and then do step two, which is clearly define what you do want.
00:05:23Even Napoleon Hill said, define your dream and get a burning desire for its achievement.
00:05:27But how do you define your dream?
00:05:29You can't define it unless you first know what you don't want.
00:05:32And this is a critical step.
00:05:34Now, you don't live there.
00:05:35You don't, you're not feeling disgust all day long.
00:05:38Of course not.
00:05:38You visit there for just a moment.
00:05:41You find something that you won't tolerate, that you're sick and tired of being sick and
00:05:45tired of, that you will not accept anymore.
00:05:48And from there, that's when you can clearly define what you do want.
00:05:52And that's step two.
00:05:54Most people also miss step two.
00:05:56I go, what do you want?
00:05:58Well, I want more money.
00:06:00How much?
00:06:02Enough.
00:06:03You're not going to get it.
00:06:05How can you hit a target that you don't have?
00:06:08You have to have a zero.
00:06:10If you're going to the shooting range or a bow and arrow range, there's a target with a
00:06:14bullseye.
00:06:15What are you aiming for?
00:06:16The bullseye.
00:06:18Everyone who achieves things in life knows specifically what they want.
00:06:24It's clearly defined.
00:06:26It's a clearly defined goal.
00:06:28And most people don't know what they want.
00:06:30If I were to ask you, what's your name?
00:06:32What's your address?
00:06:33What's your phone number?
00:06:33You instantly give it to me.
00:06:35But if I say to most people, what do you want?
00:06:37They go, well, uh, uh, uh, stop.
00:06:41You're not going to achieve anything because you don't even know what you're shooting for.
00:06:44So you have to have a clearly defined goal and it must be written down.
00:06:49Zig Ziglar told the story of the research that was conducted.
00:06:52It was either Yale University or Harvard.
00:06:55It was in the 60s.
00:06:57The graduating class was asked how many have clearly defined goals that they want to achieve
00:07:04in the next 10 to 15 to 20 years.
00:07:07Only half the class had clearly defined goals.
00:07:10Then they asked those that did have clearly defined goals, how many of you have them written
00:07:15down?
00:07:16Less than 3% had them actually written down.
00:07:2020 years later, there was a follow-up.
00:07:23The 3% that actually had their goals written down had achieved more financial success than
00:07:30all of the other 97% combined.
00:07:32So not only do you have to clearly define your goal, but you have to have it written down.
00:07:36Written down, by the way, doesn't mean type it into a computer or a cell phone.
00:07:40It means take a piece of paper, ideally a white piece of paper and a pen with blue ink
00:07:44and actually write it down.
00:07:45That creates neuropathway activity in the brain, which is very unique, by the way.
00:07:50So write it down.
00:07:52Then you do what a lot of people hear about.
00:07:55You picture in your mind yourself in possession of what you want, but you have to add something.
00:08:01You have to feel now as if you would feel if you were actually in possession of it.
00:08:07A lot of people stop right there.
00:08:09You're not going to achieve your goals because when you start picturing yourself in possession
00:08:14of what you want and thinking about it, most people feel bad because they feel like they
00:08:19don't have it and they're afraid they're never going to get it.
00:08:22They think, when I get my goal, then I'll feel good.
00:08:29You're never going to attain it.
00:08:31You have to feel now as if you already had it, which means you feel good.
00:08:36But there's a final step, which most people never talk about, and that is you must release
00:08:42attachment to that outcome.
00:08:44You have to say, but if it never happens, it's perfectly okay because I'm grateful and
00:08:50appreciative for what I have in my life right now.
00:08:52And that's when you activate gratefulness and thankfulness and appreciation.
00:08:56But that's the basic, if there was a summary of the formula, that's the basic formula that
00:09:02all successful people use, either consciously or subconsciously.
00:09:06And you can see there's, in that even summary, there's things that people miss.
00:09:11And what if it doesn't work the first time?
00:09:14Well, remember, if you've released attachment to the outcome, you don't care.
00:09:19The fact when people get upset that it's not manifesting means you're not doing the recipe
00:09:25properly because you think, when I get it, then I'll feel good.
00:09:30And I feel bad and it isn't working.
00:09:32It's not fast enough.
00:09:34That means you're never going to attain it.
00:09:37This is why people say, it happened when I least expected it.
00:09:40I was trying to get into a relationship for five years.
00:09:43And finally, I gave up.
00:09:44And I said, forget it.
00:09:45I'm never going to get into one.
00:09:46I just gave up.
00:09:47I surrendered and said, it's not going to happen for me.
00:09:50And then all of a sudden, bam, they're in the best relationship of their life.
00:09:54And I think, and you know, it happened when I didn't even expect it.
00:09:58That's exactly right.
00:09:59Because you released attachment to the outcome, which means you released the fear of it not
00:10:04happening.
00:10:04You released the broadcasting, the vibration of lack.
00:10:09And therefore, you attracted it into your life or allowed it to manifest in front of you.
00:10:15Interesting.
00:10:16Well, you're the OG self-help guru, mentor.
00:10:20How did you get into this space and why did you want to?
00:10:24Well, again, I didn't want to.
00:10:25You know, I'm a real businessman.
00:10:28Unlike 99% of the people out there that are in the personal development space or self-improvement
00:10:36space or success space or how to make money space or law of attraction space.
00:10:40And I know most of them, by the way.
00:10:42I know most of these guys.
00:10:43I remember Wayne Dyer used to call me all the time.
00:10:46You know, he was unfortunately an alcoholic at the end and a very depressed guy.
00:10:50And I know a lot of the guys that would call me for advice.
00:10:53I'm not making any money.
00:10:54What can I do?
00:10:55I go, you're the manifesting expert.
00:10:56How come you can't manifest any money?
00:10:58But Kevin, but you're the marketing guy.
00:11:00I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
00:11:02Over and over again, people would call me.
00:11:04And then when you look at people who are experts being interviewed, they're asked questions
00:11:09about their own book.
00:11:11And here's what the answer is, which is shocking.
00:11:14They'll, and I'm not going to mention names, but they're asked questions and they go, well,
00:11:19I think the way it works is they don't even know because they're guessing they're making
00:11:25it up.
00:11:26I didn't make any of this up.
00:11:28I didn't invent it or discover it.
00:11:30I was taught a 40 point algorithm back in the late sixties and early seventies from some
00:11:36very wealthy mentors of mine.
00:11:37And they taught me the mathematical algorithm that was taught to them.
00:11:41It's math.
00:11:42And they said, if you follow this recipe, it's the success system that cannot fail.
00:11:47It's a recipe.
00:11:48It's like, if you mix certain chemicals together and follow a recipe, it blows up.
00:11:53It's not magic.
00:11:54You don't have to be that smart.
00:11:56All you have to do is follow the instructions.
00:11:57You bake a cake.
00:11:59It's the same thing.
00:11:59If you follow the instructions, the cake rises and it's a beautiful, fluffy cake.
00:12:03You don't follow the instructions.
00:12:04You put too much of this ingredient or not enough of that.
00:12:07And you don't get the result and you go, it didn't work.
00:12:10No, no.
00:12:11The recipe works.
00:12:12You're not following the recipe.
00:12:14Success is the same.
00:12:16So what happened to me was I used the algorithm, the 40 point algorithm for success.
00:12:22And I generated billions and billions of dollars in business.
00:12:25I had three TV networks in Europe.
00:12:27I had mining operations in Australia, a whole host of other companies around the, around the
00:12:31world.
00:12:32People that were close to me that worked for me.
00:12:34I wanted to them, I wanted them to do really well.
00:12:37So I would teach them a little bit and teach them a little bit of how to use their mind
00:12:41and how to create what they wanted because it would help my business.
00:12:44Over a hundred of those men and women became multimillionaires because they used it.
00:12:50Some of them went into real estate.
00:12:51Some of them went into other businesses.
00:12:53And I was cheering them on all the way.
00:12:57And we all remained friends, whether they left and started their own business and became
00:13:01multimillionaires or not.
00:13:02One guy went to the UK and he did a billion pounds in business and a new venture he started.
00:13:10Another gal from Florida who started off as my file clerk, by the way, at minimum wage.
00:13:15She went on to develop a multimillion dollar real estate empire.
00:13:17Another guy who was a UPS truck driver, went on to be the largest employer in Portland,
00:13:23Maine with this huge enterprise.
00:13:26Another fellow was making pizzas in a pizza pizzeria, sleeping on a blowup mattress in his
00:13:32mother-in-law's house.
00:13:34When I told him how to, how this works.
00:13:36And he went on to develop a business generating over $150 million a year in business.
00:13:41And that was 15 years ago.
00:13:42In today's money, that's like three or $400 million a year in business.
00:13:45So amazing successes.
00:13:48And because of that, people kept coming to me from all over the world and saying, Kevin,
00:13:54please teach a seminar on how to become successful, how to attain goals, how to manifest your dreams.
00:14:01I said, that's not my business.
00:14:03But this went on for years and years and years.
00:14:06So I finally decided to do it.
00:14:08But I thought I'm only going to have people that are serious.
00:14:11I'd charge 50 grand.
00:14:12It was in the Swiss Alps.
00:14:14And for two days, I taught the 40-point algorithm, the formula.
00:14:18And I recorded it.
00:14:20Those people went on to become ridiculously wealthy.
00:14:24I took the recordings.
00:14:26And then I offered that for sale.
00:14:28And then people who bought that, I get virtually thousands of letters, sometimes every month,
00:14:34emails, letters, correspondence from people that have gone through that original program
00:14:38and have turned their life into amazing successes or just achieved what they wanted.
00:14:44Maybe it was a great relationship or greater sense of peace, joy, and happiness or something like that.
00:14:49It doesn't necessarily mean lots of money.
00:14:51And that's when I decided to write the book because the audios, still people had some questions on that, on
00:14:58the live seminar.
00:14:59So I took the live event, transcribed it, and then I put together the book, Your Wishes, Your Command.
00:15:05And now it's all there for everybody.
00:15:08It wasn't something I wanted to do.
00:15:11It was something that I was forced to do.
00:15:16And I was getting very annoyed with all the people out there that claimed to be success gurus because I
00:15:24knew them.
00:15:24And I knew, I mean, there was one guy, very successful.
00:15:27You would know him if I mentioned the name.
00:15:29Most people do.
00:15:30He's a success guru, law of attraction guru.
00:15:33He was bankrupt.
00:15:34He had filed bankruptcy a couple times.
00:15:37Nothing worked.
00:15:37No business that he tried succeeded.
00:15:40And he called me and he said, Kevin, I figured out how I can make some money.
00:15:43I said, what?
00:15:43What are you going to do?
00:15:44He goes, I'm going to write a book on how to attract success.
00:15:49I says, yeah, but you haven't attracted success.
00:15:52You've attracted failure.
00:15:53He goes, yeah, so I'm giving up.
00:15:55So I decided I'm just going to write a book on how to attract success because people I know will
00:15:59buy it.
00:16:00I go, but you don't know what you're talking about.
00:16:01Because if you did, you would have, you'd be successful before you wrote the book.
00:16:05He goes, I don't care.
00:16:06And I know how to sell it.
00:16:08So he wrote the book.
00:16:09And in the book, he was teaching stuff that obviously didn't work because if it worked, it would have worked
00:16:15for him.
00:16:15But it sounded good.
00:16:17And he was a good writer.
00:16:18So he wrote a book that sounded good.
00:16:21Unfortunately, if you follow the advice, you're not going to get good results.
00:16:24But it sounded good, had a nice cover.
00:16:26And he made a million dollars in the next year.
00:16:30And I said, I says, don't you feel bad knowing that you're giving people advice that really doesn't work?
00:16:37He goes, you know something?
00:16:38I'm tired of being broke.
00:16:41So I decided just to make some money.
00:16:43I mean, so my point is I got frustrated with people like that because I would listen to all these
00:16:49folks saying, I read that book and I tried it and it didn't work.
00:16:52I go, I know because you're getting a bad recipe.
00:16:54Remember Julia Childs, the French chef?
00:16:58She wrote a cookbook.
00:16:59And do you know why?
00:17:00Because she said she would read cookbooks, follow the recipe, and it would come out like crap.
00:17:05Because the people, even though they were great chefs, weren't even verifying the recipes were correct and somebody could follow
00:17:14them.
00:17:14So sometimes the recipes were missing an ingredient by accident.
00:17:18Sometimes the instructions weren't very clear and therefore a person would get that, try to follow the recipe and not
00:17:24get a good result and then feel bad and think, I must be something wrong with me.
00:17:28So she said, I'm going to write a cookbook and then actually give the recipes to, back then it was
00:17:34women who would do most of the cooking, give to housewives and say, cook it.
00:17:38I'm going to watch you to see if it's written properly so you're following it.
00:17:42And there was one example, she said, in one of the recipes, bouff bourguignon, which is beef burgundy, right?
00:17:48Bouff bourguignon, it says, brown a half a cup of mushrooms.
00:17:53And she said, nobody browned it properly.
00:17:56One woman took the mushrooms, threw it into a pan and started sauteing them.
00:18:01They didn't even slice them.
00:18:03Somebody else took, put it into a small pan, put a cover on it and virtually steamed them.
00:18:09No one knew how to brown the mushrooms.
00:18:12So she had to say, take a button mushroom, slice it into three, three slices.
00:18:18Then take a pan, heat it first, then put oil in the pan.
00:18:22She would explain exactly the oil, duck fat or beef lard, ideally, because it has a high flashpoint.
00:18:29And then lay the mushrooms out like you would little mini hamburger patties.
00:18:33Then with tongs, after two minutes, turn it over and see if it's brown.
00:18:39If it isn't, go back and let it brown for another minute.
00:18:41Then turn each one over and let that side brown.
00:18:45Then take them off with the tongs and then do another batch.
00:18:47It'll take three batches.
00:18:48She had to explain in great detail.
00:18:50When people got her cookbook, The Art of French Cooking, which is my favorite cookbook, by the way,
00:18:57you cannot screw up the recipe because everyone was tested and verified to produce the result that she wanted,
00:19:05which was a perfectly cooked meal.
00:19:08Same thing with the book, Your Wishes, Your Command.
00:19:10It gives you the actual steps.
00:19:12So there's no question.
00:19:14There's no doubt.
00:19:15There's no, I wonder what I should do.
00:19:17I wonder if this is correct.
00:19:19And this is the reason why I really had to write it.
00:19:22And what if people are like, I'm like too depressed or can't even get through all of,
00:19:28you know, these 40 steps?
00:19:29Like, what do you say to those people who just don't feel like they can do it?
00:19:34A lot of people basically have very low self-confidence, low self-esteem.
00:19:39They don't believe in themselves and therefore they won't take action.
00:19:43One of the things in the book that it does, it's written with, you could call it hypnotic language patterns.
00:19:49There's certain syntaxes to the phraseology.
00:19:53There's certain embedded commands.
00:19:55A person, every single person is born to win, but they've been conditioned to lose.
00:20:01So we have failure programming and we've developed failure habits.
00:20:06So when you read the book, if you just read the book, the book is designed to deprogram you.
00:20:12It's to basically eliminate your failure programs and replace it with success programs.
00:20:20So just by reading the book, you're being effectively programmed for success.
00:20:25And what occurs is when somebody reads the book, they start getting inspired.
00:20:31They start getting motivated.
00:20:34They start believing in themselves.
00:20:36In the book, I also explain you eat an elephant one bite at a time.
00:20:42A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
00:20:47A person learns to go as far as they can see.
00:20:51And when you get there, you'll see further.
00:20:55So I teach you very specifically, look, you're not trying to take on this gargantuan task.
00:21:00Maybe a person's goal is to lose a hundred pounds.
00:21:03Guess what?
00:21:04Your goal first is to lose one pound.
00:21:06So let's focus on that.
00:21:08And then when we get there, we'll lose another.
00:21:12One step at a time.
00:21:14You didn't gain the hundred pounds overnight.
00:21:15You're not going to lose it overnight.
00:21:17What are things you do personally to be successful?
00:21:20Well, there's one thing I teach in the book.
00:21:22I didn't invent this.
00:21:24I was taught this by my parents.
00:21:27And back in my day, everyone was taught this by our parents, but we didn't understand the science behind it.
00:21:32And that was this.
00:21:33At nighttime, before you go to bed, say your prayers.
00:21:37Everybody had different prayers, but here was the basic one.
00:21:40And if you watch some of the old movies and the little girls and little boys would go to bed,
00:21:44they would get on their knees and they would pray.
00:21:45And here's what they would say.
00:21:47God, please bless mommy and daddy.
00:21:50Please bless my brother.
00:21:51Please bless my sister.
00:21:53Please bless my teacher.
00:21:55Please bless.
00:21:56So what they would do is the first part of the prayer at night that I do is I ask
00:22:02God or the universe to bless all the people in my life.
00:22:05However, there's another part to that.
00:22:08That little girl would say, and also bless Uncle Tommy, who I'm really mad at right now and I don't
00:22:15like, but bless Uncle Tommy.
00:22:16So what you would do is you would also bless your enemies.
00:22:20So at nighttime, I suggest to people, before you go to bed, so that you can allow your subconscious mind
00:22:27to help manifest what you want, sit down and think of all the people in your life and ask God
00:22:33or the universe, however you want to look at it, to bless those people, including the people you hate and
00:22:39your enemies.
00:22:40That's number one.
00:22:40And then number two, then say, and thank you, God, or thank you, universe, for my health, for this comfortable
00:22:50bed, for my parents, for my spouse, for my job, for my mind, for my strength and the ability to
00:22:59handle the challenges I'm currently facing in my life.
00:23:02And so you start being grateful and appreciative with this sense of amazing gratitude for everything in your life, and
00:23:11now you go to sleep, you're going to sleep wonderfully.
00:23:14And the subconscious mind or the universe is going to start working on your behalf to help manifest, there's that
00:23:24word, what you desire.
00:23:26And you've obviously been through so much.
00:23:29Has your perspective on anything changed, or have you stayed the course?
00:23:35Yeah, you know, people ask me a lot, Kevin, you've gone through adversity.
00:23:40How did you deal with adversity?
00:23:42I said, no, no, you're quite mistaken.
00:23:45I've had a very blessed life.
00:23:46I haven't gone through any adversity.
00:23:48They go, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:23:49You've gone through major adversity.
00:23:51You were sued.
00:23:52You were held in contempt of court.
00:23:54You were thrown in prison for eight and a half years because you wrote a book that exposed the drug
00:23:58companies.
00:23:58You faced adversity.
00:23:59I go, oh, no.
00:24:01No, you may think that it's adversity, and for you it may have been adversity, but for me it was
00:24:06a gift from the universe.
00:24:07I never had to face adversity.
00:24:09Anytime something happened, I understood.
00:24:12The universe doesn't do things to us.
00:24:14It does things for us.
00:24:17Every successful person, J.D. Rockefeller, richest man who ever lived, Napoleon Hill, all these people, all said the same
00:24:24thing.
00:24:24In every, quote, adversity is the seed of a greater benefit.
00:24:29J.D. Rockefeller said, there's two things that I can tell you are the keys to my enormous wealth.
00:24:35Number one is I always was a giver.
00:24:37However, he was a Baptist, and he had to tithe, and he had to give offerings, and he had to
00:24:42give to charity, and he had to do so anonymously.
00:24:45So he said, my first paycheck was $1.50.
00:24:49I gave 10% of it away anonymously to the church.
00:24:53I put it in the box without anybody knowing it was coming from me.
00:24:57And it was because of that constant, never-stopping giving was that I got blessed.
00:25:03And secondly, every adversity, every situation that happened that was off my radar screen, or every situation that happened that
00:25:11I could say, I wish this didn't happen, or this is not what I want,
00:25:17I knew that there was a pot of gold, a treasure chest in the middle of it.
00:25:22All I had to do was find it.
00:25:23So in every challenge or adversity or bad thing, I knew there was gold waiting to be found.
00:25:31And in every adversity, I came out 100 times better than when I started.
00:25:38So he knew that.
00:25:39And he goes, those are the two things that he attributed his amazing wealth to.
00:25:44So when you're faced with something in your life that you don't expect, you don't want, you don't like, maybe
00:25:52you think it's going to give you pain, I understand that.
00:25:55I would challenge people to use this as an opportunity to look for the gold and understand that in every
00:26:01adversity is the seed of a greater benefit.
00:26:03The universe doesn't do things to us.
00:26:05It does things for us.
00:26:06And so with me, I really embraced that during all the same things that came up in my life.
00:26:15When I came out of it, I was infinitely better off just like John D. Rockefeller.
00:26:19You know, there's a phrase, you go through a tragedy, right?
00:26:23Something bad happens and you're sitting around with some people and you're crying and you're upset and you're in pain
00:26:30and it's devastating or tragic.
00:26:32And somebody will say, you know, someday we'll look back at this and laugh.
00:26:39And it's true, isn't it?
00:26:40We know it's true.
00:26:42So why wait?
00:26:44Laugh then.
00:26:46If you know that someday you're going to look back at it and laugh, why wait to someday?
00:26:51Laugh now.
00:26:52So instead of crying, laugh.
00:26:55Way to look at it.
00:26:56What do you think is the key to happiness in life?
00:26:58The key to happiness is not feeling that when you get something, then you'll feel good.
00:27:06The Buddha says it great.
00:27:07Desire.
00:27:08It's the need of having something that you don't have is the cause of all suffering.
00:27:12The word is translated desire in English, but a better translation is wanting something you don't have, thinking that you'll
00:27:18feel better when you get it.
00:27:20That is the cause of all suffering.
00:27:22So another way of stating it is not being attached.
00:27:26So if you lose something, I had a friend of mine in California, Southern California.
00:27:33She lived in a castle.
00:27:34The interior contents of that castle was valued at maybe $400 million.
00:27:40There was a fire in Malibu.
00:27:42Her castle burned to the ground.
00:27:44She lost all those treasures.
00:27:46And many of them were hundreds and hundreds of years old in her family.
00:27:50And she, they weren't insured because they were priceless treasures.
00:27:54So she lost not only all the things, but all the money.
00:27:57When I called her and I said, Lily, my heart goes out to you.
00:28:02This was tragic.
00:28:03She goes, ah, I was tired of cleaning that house.
00:28:07Time to move on, Kevin.
00:28:09And I said, Lily, I love you.
00:28:11I know you do.
00:28:15Did she lose all her money?
00:28:17Well, she lost a lot of it.
00:28:19Well, she lost her wealth.
00:28:20I mean, not her, you know, assets that were in the bank, but all the beautiful things.
00:28:24And I've been in that home.
00:28:26I mean, we enjoyed looking at those things together.
00:28:29I remember we spent sometimes hours looking at all these priceless treasures, like a museum.
00:28:34But you can't be attached to things.
00:28:36And people are attached to their pets.
00:28:38Hey, I lost my dog.
00:28:39I got my dog when she was six weeks old.
00:28:42Her name was Princess because she was a princess, a little white Maltese.
00:28:46And she was with me for 20-something years.
00:28:48She lived way longer than any Maltese is supposed to live, completely healthy.
00:28:51And then one day she died.
00:28:53I miss my dog, you know?
00:28:55But I also loved being with my dog for such a long period of time.
00:28:59And I felt blessed to have her in my life.
00:29:02So I went through the grieving process.
00:29:03And it's good to grieve.
00:29:04You have to give yourself time to grieve.
00:29:07But you can't grieve forever.
00:29:09I was auditing a seminar, a workshop actually on Zoom, where these people were dealing with traumas and helping clear
00:29:17themselves up.
00:29:18And this one woman got on and she said, they asked her, I said, what trauma are you dealing with?
00:29:23She goes, my mother passed away.
00:29:25And it's so painful because we talked every single day on the phone, sometimes two or three times a day.
00:29:30She was my best friend.
00:29:31We spent virtually every day together.
00:29:32And she went on and on.
00:29:34She was tearing.
00:29:35And I could feel.
00:29:36I know.
00:29:36Because my mother talked to her mother every single day as well.
00:29:40And they were together every single day.
00:29:41They lived virtually two blocks away.
00:29:43So I saw that.
00:29:44And I remember the pain my mother went through when her mom passed.
00:29:48So this woman's talking about the passing of her mother and how painful it was.
00:29:52And she's in tears.
00:29:53And the facilitator says, when did your mother pass?
00:29:56And she goes, next month it'll be seven years.
00:29:59Okay, enough.
00:30:01You've grieved enough.
00:30:03I was with a guy who was 92 years old, worked at the Empire State Building.
00:30:08He was a lawyer.
00:30:09And I said, you work at the Empire State Building.
00:30:11And you're still working?
00:30:12Yeah, part-time.
00:30:1392.
00:30:14I said, when did you start working at the Empire State Building?
00:30:17He goes, the day that it opened.
00:30:19He was 92, right?
00:30:20And he's a lawyer.
00:30:21I goes, do you have a family?
00:30:23He goes, yeah, I have sons and daughters.
00:30:26I goes, do you have a wife?
00:30:27No, no, she passed away about seven or eight years ago.
00:30:30I said, oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:30:32Was that your first wife?
00:30:33He goes, yeah, I actually was married to one woman all my life.
00:30:35And it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
00:30:37The best thing in my life was being married.
00:30:39The best thing in my life was my wife.
00:30:41I said, oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:30:43Did she pass away suddenly?
00:30:44She goes, yeah.
00:30:45She got hit by a bus.
00:30:47I thought, oh, my God, what a dumb question I just asked.
00:30:50I'm going to bring this up.
00:30:51The guy's going to be in tears.
00:30:52I said, I'm terribly sorry to hear that.
00:30:55That must have been tragic.
00:30:56He goes, oh, yeah.
00:30:57We were in New York City holding hands.
00:30:58We loved each other.
00:31:00And we were walking, and we were just looking at each other.
00:31:02And we both told each other how much we loved each other.
00:31:04And we were smiling.
00:31:05She stepped off the curb and got hit by a bus while I was holding her hand.
00:31:10And I'm like, oh, my God.
00:31:13You must have, that must have been a shock.
00:31:16Oh, my.
00:31:16He goes, of course it was a shock.
00:31:18He goes, Kevin, I cried every day for a week.
00:31:23I go, what?
00:31:23He goes, I cried every day for a week.
00:31:25He says, you know, you have to give yourself time to grieve.
00:31:28And you have to let it out.
00:31:29You can't hold it in.
00:31:31So I decided I was going to grieve for seven days.
00:31:34Well, after about six days, I kind of grieved enough.
00:31:37It's time to move on.
00:31:39And I said, you're the greatest guy I've ever met.
00:31:43But he said, but that's why he's living without cancer, and he doesn't take any drugs.
00:31:48He doesn't hold on to anything.
00:31:50But he gave himself time to grieve.
00:31:52And if we go back in history, when people died, there was a grieving period.
00:31:57In some cultures, it was 30 days where the people, specifically women, would put on black,
00:32:02and they would go, and they would wail.
00:32:04There'd be like a time.
00:32:05We're going to be wailing for this hour every day as a group.
00:32:08We're going to wail.
00:32:09And we're going to, they're letting it out.
00:32:12They're letting that energy out so they don't die of cancer from grief.
00:32:15They're letting it out.
00:32:16And then at the end of the time, they take the black off, and they go on with living
00:32:20their life.
00:32:21Most people hold on to stuff way too long, and you're going to be miserable.
00:32:26Right.
00:32:26In anything, not just death, right?
00:32:29Correct.
00:32:30It could be a bankruptcy.
00:32:31It could be losing a job, losing a spouse.
00:32:33You know, a lover leaves you.
00:32:36People hold on to stuff.
00:32:37They start talking about things in the past.
00:32:39If it's in the past, it doesn't exist anymore.
00:32:42It's a picture of a tiger.
00:32:44It isn't a tiger.
00:32:46There's no reason to be afraid of it.
00:32:47Let it go.
00:32:48What about simple things you do every day just to keep that positive mindset?
00:32:54Well, there's a couple of things that most people don't do.
00:32:56Number one, I breathe in and out through my nose.
00:32:58And I do pay attention to make sure that the nose is for breathing, the mouth is for eating.
00:33:03So I breathe in and out through my nose.
00:33:05And when I breathe, when you're stressed or tense or nervous, you start breathing shallow.
00:33:11So make a habit of breathing, relaxing the stomach and relaxing the face.
00:33:18And when you breathe in through the nose, the stomach should go out a little bit.
00:33:21And when you exhale, the stomach should go in a little bit.
00:33:25So that's the proper breath.
00:33:26And I do pay attention several times a day to make sure that that is my default breathing.
00:33:32That's number one.
00:33:33Number two, at nighttime, I open a window.
00:33:36Back in the day, I remember watching a movie one time.
00:33:38This was maybe back in the 20s or 30s.
00:33:41And the lawyer says, do you sleep at night with a window open?
00:33:44And the guy goes, well, of course.
00:33:47And the lawyer says, yeah, what a dumb question.
00:33:49Because everyone slept with windows open because you needed fresh air.
00:33:53People sleep in these hermetically sealed homes where there's no fresh air.
00:33:57Everything's recirculating.
00:33:58And every time you breathe, they're putting carbon something.
00:34:01It's either monoxide or dioxide.
00:34:03You're putting poison out into the air.
00:34:05They don't have any plants to eat it.
00:34:08And so the oxygen levels of the air in your house is going down and down and down.
00:34:12And at nighttime, you're not going to sleep very well.
00:34:15Open up the darn window and keep it nice and cool.
00:34:18Have nice heavy blankets.
00:34:20That's going to really make your sleep way better.
00:34:23You're going to release more melatonin, sleep better, dream better, wake up way more for
00:34:27refresh because you have oxygen all night long.
00:34:30So I do that.
00:34:31And number three, I drink pure water.
00:34:33I have a reverse osmosis system in my house.
00:34:36Also a whole house system.
00:34:38So I shower and bathe in filtered water.
00:34:40If I do buy bottled water, I buy it in glass.
00:34:44I don't buy it in plastic because of all the microplastics and nanoplastics.
00:34:48I keep that away as best I can.
00:34:51And we do want to hydrate.
00:34:52So make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day.
00:34:56And I'll give you a little trick for those who drink coffee.
00:34:59When you drink coffee first thing in the morning, in coffee, there is an acid in it.
00:35:04There's tannic acid in the coffee and hydrochloric acid in your stomach.
00:35:08The hydrochloric acid in your stomach is a digestive enzyme.
00:35:12So when you drink coffee on an empty stomach, you're mixing tannic acid with hydrochloric acid.
00:35:16If you do that in a beaker, it turns to cement.
00:35:19So if you drink black coffee on an empty stomach, you're lining the stomach with a paste or cement type
00:35:29substance,
00:35:30which means you're not going to absorb protein or nutrients throughout the day very well.
00:35:35So you automatically start having a protein deficiency and you're hungry all day long because your body feels starving because
00:35:43it's not getting nutrients into the cell.
00:35:45So here's the hack.
00:35:46That's the word, right?
00:35:48Here's the hack.
00:35:49The hack is when you wake up, if you like to drink coffee, perfect.
00:35:53Get a hard-boiled egg.
00:35:54Have a hard-boiled egg first.
00:35:56You get some protein in.
00:35:58Now the hydrochloric acid attacks the protein.
00:36:01Now when you drink your coffee, the tannic acid doesn't have any hydrochloric acid to mix with.
00:36:06You get protein absorption and you're good to go throughout the day.
00:36:09You're going to be less hungry all day long.
00:36:11You're going to absorb more nutrients.
00:36:12You're going to feel a heck of a lot better.
00:36:14And for guys who do any type of exercise or women, if you want to increase muscle tone, muscle mass,
00:36:20this will do it easily.
00:36:22I told this to a guy who worked out every single day in the gym and could not increase any
00:36:26muscle weight.
00:36:27He did this one hack in one month.
00:36:29He put on eight pounds of muscle, pure muscle, just by doing this one little hack.
00:36:33Not changing anything in his routine.
00:36:35How do you relax?
00:36:37I'm relaxed all day long.
00:36:39I do something in my house called fly on the wall training where I allow people to come in and
00:36:45live with me.
00:36:46They're in the mansion for 24 hours.
00:36:49They can't talk to me.
00:36:50They have to be invisible and they watch me.
00:36:53And then at the end, that's when I sit down for about an hour and we talk and they can
00:36:57ask questions about what I did and why I did it.
00:37:01They observe success in action.
00:37:02They observe me applying all the techniques that I teach.
00:37:08One of the common themes is I can't believe how relaxed Kevin is all day long.
00:37:14He's calm as a cucumber, just relaxed, gracefully and elegantly flowing through life, throwing, flowing through his activities one after
00:37:25the other, after the other.
00:37:26He gets more done before 10 o'clock than most people do in a whole day or maybe even a
00:37:30week.
00:37:31He's efficient, he's effective, but he's always relaxed.
00:37:36And I'll tell you one trick to do that.
00:37:39Remember this phrase, tomorrow starts today.
00:37:44One way to have a relaxed day is to plan for it the day before.
00:37:48So every day around 4 o'clock, I spend about an hour planning for the next day.
00:37:55I go through the to-do list that I have, what objectives I want to achieve.
00:38:00I go through my appointments, what I want to achieve in each appointment.
00:38:04I review the files for all the people that I'm going to be meeting with if I have appointments.
00:38:08I go through my to-do list and I determine which one is an A priority or B priority.
00:38:13And my definition of an A priority is something that absolutely positively has to happen today.
00:38:19It cannot wait till tomorrow, which means almost nothing is an A priority.
00:38:23And because almost nothing is an A priority, I'm totally relaxed because I don't have to do anything.
00:38:29There's nothing I must do, should do, have to do.
00:38:32And when I'm working on a project, I'm not feeling subconsciously, hurry, you have so many things on your to
00:38:37-do list.
00:38:38You'll never get it all done.
00:38:39And people feel overwhelmed.
00:38:41I don't feel overwhelmed.
00:38:43It's like, on my to-do list today, I have one A priority.
00:38:46I got to call a guy named Joe.
00:38:48Because I promised him I'd call him today.
00:38:50Because there's something that's happening tomorrow.
00:38:52He's got a meeting tomorrow.
00:38:53And I told him, I promise you I'll call you Monday so we can go over it.
00:38:56That way you'll be ready to go for your meeting on Tuesday.
00:38:59So I can't call him tomorrow.
00:39:00I got to call him today.
00:39:01I only have one A priority.
00:39:02I have a list of 15 things that are Bs.
00:39:06So when I finish this interview, I go home.
00:39:09I call Joe.
00:39:10I'm done for the day.
00:39:12Now, I'm going to then choose, choose to do this or this or this.
00:39:18I can pick which one is something I want to do or something that's a priority or something that will
00:39:23take two minutes so I get a victory under my belt.
00:39:26But I'm totally relaxed all day long.
00:39:27And it's really preparing for your day the day in advance and giving yourself plenty of fudge room.
00:39:32That's another thing that I do.
00:39:34They were amazed.
00:39:35When I have a meeting scheduled at 9 o'clock, I think this meeting is going to go maybe 20
00:39:40to 30 minutes.
00:39:41I book it in for an hour.
00:39:44That way, I'm ahead of schedule.
00:39:46And I have extra time.
00:39:48Well, I can check some emails.
00:39:49I can do this.
00:39:49I can do this.
00:39:50So I'm always, I'm never rushed.
00:39:53I'm the exact opposite.
00:39:54I'm always got my feet up on the desk and I'm always lounging.
00:39:57And because of that, you get more done in less time with no stress or overwhelm.
00:40:03And what you get done gets done more efficiently and effectively.
00:40:06Were you always like that as a kid too?
00:40:09No.
00:40:10Remember, my dad was a welder, so I didn't see success.
00:40:13But early on, my mentors, who were very successful people, allowed me to be a fly on the wall and
00:40:19I watched them.
00:40:20So I watched and learned how to increase intensity to get something done, set a deadline and work toward it,
00:40:28but enjoy it.
00:40:29And I'll give you an example.
00:40:31If you're playing sports and you're watching an American football game or a basketball game and there's two minutes to
00:40:38go,
00:40:39well, there's an intensity there because the game's going to be over and we've got to score a certain amount
00:40:43of points.
00:40:44Do you think those athletes are stressed out and overwhelmed?
00:40:48No.
00:40:48They love it.
00:40:50They love competition and they love the excitement of the game.
00:40:53That's what they live for.
00:40:54And they say that after the game.
00:40:56How did you feel in that last, you know, 87 seconds coming back to win the game?
00:41:00And he goes, this is what I love about the game.
00:41:01I love being in there right at the end.
00:41:04I love it.
00:41:05You know, and even if they didn't win, they still love it.
00:41:07So we have to enjoy when we put ourselves under a little time pressure as well.
00:41:13We're not stressed or overwhelmed.
00:41:14We're loving it.
00:41:15When you're going on a roller coaster, you don't feel stressed or overwhelmed.
00:41:19You love it because you jump off and you go, let's do it again.
00:41:22You don't say I never want to do that again.
00:41:24Well, some people do.
00:41:25But most people who, yeah, yeah.
00:41:27Some people who like roller coaster rides or remember when we were kids, we'd like to go to the haunted
00:41:30house.
00:41:31I want to be scared.
00:41:33Or I remember this.
00:41:34Remember the English patient, the movie, the English patient.
00:41:36Okay, so I'm going to go in to see the English patient.
00:41:40There's two women coming out.
00:41:41And they're both crying.
00:41:43And I'm like going, I wonder what happened.
00:41:45And over here, one go, that movie was absolutely the best movie I ever saw.
00:41:51And they're crying.
00:41:52And I go, excuse me, are you okay?
00:41:54Yes.
00:41:54And they're crying.
00:41:55I go, what movie did you see?
00:41:58The English patient?
00:41:59I go, it was so sad.
00:42:01I loved it.
00:42:02I go, wait a minute.
00:42:03You loved it and you're crying.
00:42:06They loved feeling horrible.
00:42:10I know.
00:42:10I don't care that.
00:42:12I'm not one of those people.
00:42:13Exactly.
00:42:14Yeah.
00:42:14But a lot of people, when we were kids, we loved being scared.
00:42:17Scare me.
00:42:18I want to go to the haunted house.
00:42:19I want to be frightened.
00:42:19Or I want to go, I want to do this or that.
00:42:22We liked adventure.
00:42:23And then when we get older, we forget about loving adventure and loving the feel of all
00:42:28these various emotions.
00:42:30Marriage.
00:42:31Keto, a good marriage.
00:42:33Keto, a good marriage.
00:42:34Well, I'm not an expert in marriage.
00:42:36I'm a newlywed.
00:42:37I've been married less than a year.
00:42:38I've been a bachelor my whole life, but I've been with this gal for over three years.
00:42:43And I can tell you, we've never had an argument.
00:42:45We've never raised our voice to each other.
00:42:47I think the key to good marriage is finding the right person.
00:42:51If you have two pieces of a puzzle that don't fit together, there's no way you can have a
00:42:55good marriage if the puzzle pieces don't fit.
00:42:58I think people are trying to put a round peg in a square hole in most relationships instead
00:43:02of saying, wait a minute, maybe this isn't the right fit.
00:43:06I happen to find somebody that I'm a perfect fit for her and she's a perfect fit for me.
00:43:13And we always tell each other throughout the day how lucky we are to be with each other
00:43:19and how happy that person makes us.
00:43:21That's one thing we do on a regular basis.
00:43:23But remember, not all people are audio.
00:43:26You know, some people saying words don't mean anything.
00:43:30You have to actually do something.
00:43:31Like you have to put the trash out without being asked.
00:43:34And that's a sign of love to the other person.
00:43:37Oh, he loves me.
00:43:38He put the trash out.
00:43:41And somebody else, you have to come home with a little card or a little trinket.
00:43:44It doesn't have to be an expensive gift.
00:43:45But if you give somebody something, that's the love language.
00:43:49Oh, they care about me.
00:43:50They gave me this gift.
00:43:51So everybody is different.
00:43:52I think knowing the other partner's love language and, you know, being thoughtful enough about
00:43:57that is critical.
00:43:58But I will tell you one thing with guys, and I will talk to the men here because most of
00:44:03you are making grave errors with women.
00:44:06One of my good friends is John Gray.
00:44:08He wrote the book Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus.
00:44:10And he's the one who taught me this.
00:44:12He says, if you're with a woman, a woman is talking to you about some issues she has.
00:44:17She's not asking you to fix it.
00:44:20She's just sharing what's going on in her life.
00:44:23All you have to do is listen, pay attention, and say the magic words, I hear you.
00:44:29That's right.
00:44:30Okay?
00:44:30You don't try to fix it.
00:44:32I know guys are fixers.
00:44:33They've got to fix everything.
00:44:34They've got to come up with a solution.
00:44:36So don't do that.
00:44:37And the other thing I would say to both people, both men and women, don't invalidate your
00:44:41partner.
00:44:42If I said, you know, I'm really upset about this.
00:44:44You're not upset.
00:44:46You shouldn't be upset.
00:44:48That's invalidating the person.
00:44:49The person just said they're upset.
00:44:50Okay?
00:44:51If they say they're upset, if they say something, validate it.
00:44:54Go, I hear you.
00:44:56I hear what you're saying.
00:44:57I can understand that.
00:44:59Okay?
00:45:00Validate them.
00:45:01Don't invalidate.
00:45:02That's a good one.
00:45:04What are your thoughts on GLP-1 weight loss meds?
00:45:07There are clear benefits because people lose weight.
00:45:12We know that.
00:45:14However, there are more negative long-term side effects that people are going to be dealing
00:45:20with than they ever thought possible.
00:45:23I'll give you an example.
00:45:25Botox and breast implants for women.
00:45:28Botox is botulism.
00:45:30So you're putting the poison, botulism, into your skin to kill all of the nerve endings
00:45:37so therefore they're dead.
00:45:40And then people come to me because I wrote the book Natural Cures too, in addition to
00:45:45Your Wishes, Your Command.
00:45:46People say, Kevin, I have migraine headaches.
00:45:47I have this problem.
00:45:48I have that problem.
00:45:48I have this problem.
00:45:49When did it start?
00:45:50I said, when did you start doing your Botox?
00:45:52I go, it has nothing.
00:45:53And they get pissed off.
00:45:54It has nothing to do with it.
00:45:55I go, yes, it is.
00:45:56Because when you take that Botox, you're not going to see a symptom in the first month
00:46:00or the first year.
00:46:02You're going to see it five years later.
00:46:03Same thing with the breast implant.
00:46:04You can't put a poison like silicone in your body, which is going to leach.
00:46:09We know this now with all the nanoparticles from plastics.
00:46:12We know it leaches.
00:46:13We know.
00:46:14You put mercury in your fillings.
00:46:17And then when the doctor takes it out, he has to have a hazmat suit on.
00:46:21Because it's so toxic and it's so deadly and dangerous for him to take the filling
00:46:25out.
00:46:26Everyone has to have hazmat suits and then it has to go in biohazard containers.
00:46:30But it's okay to have in your mouth.
00:46:32That makes zero sense at all, right?
00:46:35Same thing with fluoride.
00:46:36Oh, fluoride will kill you if you drink a spoon of it.
00:46:39But let's put it in our water supply and drink it.
00:46:42Oh, it doesn't make any sense.
00:46:44So we're loading our body with toxins.
00:46:45And at the end of the day, the weight loss drugs, these things are making the body do
00:46:51something unnatural.
00:46:53Just look at the side effects.
00:46:55And they rattle them off.
00:46:5860% of people who do it get nauseous.
00:47:02That means you have a gastrointestinal issue.
00:47:06And the nauseousness is the first one.
00:47:09You're developing a long-term problem.
00:47:11And don't be crying and complaining later.
00:47:14How did I develop the cancer?
00:47:16How did I develop the pancreatic?
00:47:18You're doing it.
00:47:19It happens slowly.
00:47:21Just like cigarette smoking.
00:47:23Okay, what's wrong with cigarette smoking, Kevin?
00:47:26I smoke.
00:47:27I've been smoking for a year.
00:47:28I'm not dead.
00:47:29Good.
00:47:29Well, 20 years from now when you have lung cancer, then talk to me.
00:47:33And you can't reverse it because it took 20 years to develop.
00:47:36So same thing with all these things people are doing where they're not thinking.
00:47:41They're not thinking the long-term because they can't think long-term.
00:47:45They also don't save any money either for the future.
00:47:47There was a phrase, save some money for a rainy day.
00:47:50Nobody does it.
00:47:51Well, if you're not going to save money for a rainy day or save money for your retirement,
00:47:54why would you even consider not doing something today that's going to produce massive health
00:47:59problems 20 years from now?
00:48:00No one thinks, right?
00:48:01I'm the bodybuilder.
00:48:02I'm going to take steroids.
00:48:03Look at my body.
00:48:04Okay, see me in 15 years.
00:48:06What about drinking?
00:48:07Drinking is like the new smoking now, it seems.
00:48:10Throughout the history of mankind, man has consumed alcohol in small amounts.
00:48:19Alcohol relaxes the muscles and is processed by the liver.
00:48:23It also relaxes the mind, so we know that.
00:48:26So alcohol in small amounts throughout history has been consumed throughout history, and some
00:48:32people did not consume it.
00:48:34The majority of the planet did because there wasn't any pure water.
00:48:37So in order to get fluid in your body, beer, which was the oldest form of alcohol produced
00:48:43by the Egyptians 5,000 years ago, probably even before that, this was liquid bread, they
00:48:48called it, because it used hops and barley in a fermented form, which builds up the good
00:48:54bacteria in the gut.
00:48:56And it's also very hydrating.
00:48:58The alcohol is dehydrating, but in small, small amounts, it relaxes the cell, actually
00:49:03causing the liquid to go in and hydrate better, number one.
00:49:06And number two, because of the fermentation process, alcohol, such as beer and wine, have
00:49:11a lower surface tension.
00:49:13So the clusters of molecules are smaller and flatter.
00:49:17Therefore, they will hydrate better.
00:49:18I was hiking up in Germany years ago.
00:49:21So it was about a two or three hour hike.
00:49:23So I'm hiking straight up.
00:49:24When I get to the top, there's an area where, because it's also a ski, a ski area.
00:49:29So people would go up there and there's a restaurant up at the top of the mountain.
00:49:33So I hike up the mountain in the summer and everybody's outside in the sun, you know, having
00:49:37lunch and so forth.
00:49:39And I am thirsty because I went through all my water going up the mountain.
00:49:43So the waitress comes over and I speak a little German.
00:49:47And so I talked to her in German and I asked her for some Wasser and she said, okay, but
00:49:52she looked to be kind of funny when I asked for a big bottle of water.
00:49:55And I'm looking at all the people around me.
00:49:57I'm in Bavaria and they all have this tall glass that's amber color with this big, thick,
00:50:04you know, head on it.
00:50:05It looks like a big glass of beer, right?
00:50:07But it's like cloudy in color.
00:50:11So she comes over and I go, what is everybody drinking?
00:50:14She goes, Weiss beer.
00:50:16I go, what's Weiss beer?
00:50:17She goes, Weiss beer is wheat beer.
00:50:20And that's what you should be drinking because you just walked up the mountain.
00:50:23And I go, what do you mean?
00:50:24She goes, that'll hydrate you better than water.
00:50:27And I said, that's impossible.
00:50:28It's got alcohol in it.
00:50:29It's going to dehydrate you.
00:50:30She goes, oh no.
00:50:31And then she explained why every athlete in Germany, all the hikers, why are they all drinking
00:50:36it?
00:50:37She goes, it has very small, low levels of alcohol, which will relax the muscles.
00:50:41You just tightened up all your muscles coming up.
00:50:43You want to relax them.
00:50:44So the small amount of alcohol relaxed it, but it has wheat, which is bread in a fermented
00:50:50form.
00:50:50So you're not going to have any gluten intolerance to it.
00:50:53It's going to hydrate the cell and give you the carbohydrates you need to replenish.
00:50:57It's the hydrating fuel and it's going to give you fuel so you're going to feel amazing.
00:51:01So I had one glass of this.
00:51:03Frank, I felt like Superman.
00:51:05And I'm like, you have got to be kidding.
00:51:07And I went back and did all the research on it and it's absolutely true.
00:51:12I love that.
00:51:13Weiss, this is a specific one though, or just beer?
00:51:15Well, let me tell you about beer.
00:51:17I'll give you the bad news.
00:51:18You can't drink any beer made in America.
00:51:20And even brands like Stella Atois, they're not made in Belgium anymore.
00:51:25They're made in America under Anheuser-Busch.
00:51:28So what they do is they use different wheat.
00:51:30They use different hops, different barley.
00:51:31They also use high fructose corn syrup and they use rice.
00:51:35They put rice in there.
00:51:36An American beer, almost all American beer is cut with rice, unfortunately.
00:51:40So if you want to drink beer, it's going to be from England, made in England, or from Belgium or
00:51:48ideally Germany.
00:51:49Germany is where beer started from, right?
00:51:52So you get beer that was actually brewed in Germany and you get it in a bottle.
00:51:57And there's some Weiss beer, which is a wheat beer, which is great to drink after exercise or a nice
00:52:04lager beer or any type of beer.
00:52:05But I'm telling you, it is not the same.
00:52:09It's like saying milk is good, milk is bad.
00:52:12Time out.
00:52:13Milk from grass-fed cows that's not homogenized or milk from cows injected with bovine growth hormone
00:52:20and antibiotics that's been homogenized and is poison.
00:52:25So milk is not milk and beer is not beer.
00:52:28So when I say beer, I'm talking about beer from Germany, made in Germany, and Weiss beer, which is the
00:52:35wheat beer,
00:52:35but also the lagers are fine too in small amounts.
00:52:39And I'm not talking about drinking a six-pack tonight.
00:52:43I'm talking about drinking a glass of beer.
00:52:45Let's talk about Natural Cures for a sec, if you want to, the book that sold millions of copies.
00:52:51So controversial.
00:52:53It was controversial back then.
00:52:55It isn't controversial anymore because everything in its mainstream came out 20 years ago.
00:52:59You were the OG of it all.
00:53:01It was.
00:53:0220 years ago when I wrote the book Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About.
00:53:05It's probably been longer, 20.
00:53:06Yeah, 20 years ago, 2005, sold 50 million copies.
00:53:09It was number one on the New York Times bestselling list 26 weeks in a row.
00:53:13I said things in there, dozens of things, which today are absolute mainstream.
00:53:16Red dye, high fructose corn syrup, genetically modified fluid, fluoride in the water, ultra-processed food.
00:53:24I was on NBC, and NBC crucified me.
00:53:28You say talcum powder is bad for your health and potentially dangerous.
00:53:34Johnson's baby powder has been around forever.
00:53:36How dare you make an outrageous statement like that?
00:53:38You're scaring mothers.
00:53:40And I go, talc is a deadly poison.
00:53:43If you put it on your skin, it causes hormonal imbalances and potentially could lead to cancer.
00:53:49The research is clear.
00:53:51That's outrageous for you to make those claims.
00:53:54Somebody should be suing you.
00:53:55This is NBC.
00:53:56Guess what we know today?
00:53:58It's off the market, isn't it?
00:54:00There's no more such thing as Johnson's baby powder with talc because everything I said in the book that I
00:54:05was crucified for, by the way, that goes in the Kevin was right file.
00:54:09And that file is pretty darn thick.
00:54:12Why?
00:54:13Why did it spark so much criticism and pushback?
00:54:15Well, primarily because I was affecting Johnson & Johnson.
00:54:19I was affecting every major pharmaceutical company out there and all the agricultural industry.
00:54:25I talked about Roundup, and I talked about all these things that today we know are absolutely true.
00:54:30I was upsetting the apple cart.
00:54:32Here's an example.
00:54:33Those who eat the most fruits and vegetables have the highest rates of cancer.
00:54:41What is that?
00:54:42That's a big issue.
00:54:42And you know why?
00:54:43Because the fruits and vegetables they're eating are conventionally grown that are loaded with pesticides and herbicides.
00:54:49So they're putting in the most amount of poison, toxic, chemical-inducing agents in their body.
00:54:55So even though they have the good from the fruit and vegetable, they're getting the bad, and the bad outweighs
00:55:01the fruit and vegetable,
00:55:02which is why you have to have produce without the sprays, without the herbicides, without the pesticides,
00:55:08without all these fungicides and all these chemical agents that are absolutely 100% deadly to the body.
00:55:14And we know this.
00:55:15I was talking to some of the executives of some of the companies, and they said,
00:55:19Kevin, we only use minute amounts, absolute minute amounts.
00:55:25I go, okay, here's a glass of water.
00:55:29By the way, I put a minute amount of my piss in the water.
00:55:32Here you go.
00:55:34But don't worry.
00:55:35It's a minute amount.
00:55:37Will you still drink it?
00:55:38Of course not.
00:55:40I mean, right?
00:55:41Right.
00:55:42Oh, it's a minute amount.
00:55:43I go, and they say, and it has no effect.
00:55:45It doesn't do anything.
00:55:46I go, if it doesn't do anything, why are you putting it in?
00:55:50It has a profound effect on the biological product that you've put it in.
00:55:57It does something that you need.
00:55:58It does something so powerful that you have to put it in.
00:56:02If it didn't do anything, if it didn't have any effect, you wouldn't put it in, even at that minute
00:56:06amount.
00:56:06If I put that a minute amount in my body, and then over and over and over, because every time
00:56:11I eat something, there's another chemical in it, and it's building up, this stuff doesn't leave the system.
00:56:17It goes into the fatty tissue in the cells, and it has a cumulative effect, which is what the problem
00:56:23is with marijuana versus alcohol.
00:56:25You drink alcohol today, the liver processes the alcohol.
00:56:30It's gone.
00:56:30You smoke a joint today, 20% of that chemical is in the fatty tissue.
00:56:37It builds up.
00:56:37It doesn't get out of the system.
00:56:39It doesn't leave the system.
00:56:40Alcohol gets processed by the liver.
00:56:44Marijuana doesn't, which is why the studies now are so conclusive that marijuana smoking for stress and anxiety actually does
00:56:54the exact opposite.
00:56:56Initially, it makes you relax because you're numb.
00:56:59But then the buildup happens in over 15 or 20 years.
00:57:04Now you are so stressed and anxious, you're off the charts.
00:57:07It actually worsens the problem.
00:57:09Same thing with psychedelics because they don't leave the body.
00:57:13The body doesn't process that.
00:57:15There is a residual that stays in the fatty tissue in the cell.
00:57:20And the same thing with pharmaceutical drugs.
00:57:22It doesn't leave the body.
00:57:23Yeah, maybe 90% does, maybe 95%.
00:57:27But you're accumulating it over time.
00:57:30And it's accumulating in the fatty tissue.
00:57:34And therefore, you're going to blow up like a balloon.
00:57:36It's going to be hard to lose weight.
00:57:37Your hormone balances get crazy.
00:57:39So you have emotional mood swings.
00:57:42And it's all because of a toxic buildup.
00:57:45Looking back, which of your ideas or your claims are you most confident about today?
00:57:52Or really just all of them, right?
00:57:53I think, well, I have a good track record.
00:57:56And I was not kidding.
00:57:57I actually do have a file.
00:57:58It's called Kevin Was Right.
00:58:00Because when I come up with something and I get crucified for it, I go, that's fine.
00:58:06I'll wait.
00:58:07Because all of a sudden, it's going to be mainstream.
00:58:09And it goes in the Kevin Was Right file.
00:58:11Everything I talked about in the book, Natural Cures, it goes in the Kevin Was Right file.
00:58:17What's your next book, Kevin Was Right?
00:58:19Well, I'm not too sure about the next one.
00:58:20I do have a whole host.
00:58:21One is called The Vitamin Scam.
00:58:23It's going to blow the lid off the nutritional industry.
00:58:26Because the nutritional industry is one of the biggest scams going next to the pharmaceutical industry.
00:58:30People are getting ripped off 100% left and right.
00:58:34They're buying supplements that they think are good.
00:58:36And again, I know the owners of most of these big companies.
00:58:39And they all say the same thing.
00:58:40They go, Kevin, these products are for selling, not for taking.
00:58:44They're producing product with beautiful labels, with great advertising.
00:58:48But the product they're getting in from China, they're buying the cheapest, cheapest, cheapest,
00:58:53most worthless stuff they could find.
00:58:55Because they said the public just doesn't know the difference.
00:58:58So there's going to be a book called The Vitamin Scam that's going to blow the lid off it.
00:59:02Do you ever work with RFK Jr. or anything like that?
00:59:06You know, when I had my radio show back in 2013, he was actually on my show several times.
00:59:12Yeah.
00:59:13And the Suzanne Summers.
00:59:14Remember Suzanne?
00:59:15She passed away.
00:59:16Because she was a big advocate of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and other natural things as well.
00:59:22And I had many people.
00:59:23Mary Lou Henner was on.
00:59:25She was on my show.
00:59:27We had a lot of people like that that were very big advocates, Joe Mercola and Deepak Chopra and so
00:59:33forth.
00:59:34But I never met RFK in person.
00:59:37Obviously, he is kind of inundated right now because of his position.
00:59:41But I certainly would love to, you know, be involved in some way to help educate people.
00:59:46And if not from a government perspective, at least from what I'm doing.
00:59:50Like with the book, Your Wishes, Your Command.
00:59:52You know, there's one thing in that book that I think is probably the most prevalent.
00:59:56And that is what Zig Ziglar, the great motivational speaker, said.
01:00:00He said, it's your attitude, not your aptitude, that will always determine your altitude in life.
01:00:07It's your attitude.
01:00:09And most people don't think about that.
01:00:12I was doing a show and a woman was interviewing me, the journalist, and she was nasty.
01:00:17And you know what I'm talking about.
01:00:18Some journalists are very, you know, open-minded and they ask good questions.
01:00:22And they may be firm and they may be, you know, pushing.
01:00:25But some are just nasty.
01:00:27And she was nasty.
01:00:28And she said, well, I bet you think you can do anything with a positive attitude.
01:00:35And I said, well, actually, no, you can't do anything with a positive attitude.
01:00:39But you can do everything better than if you have a negative attitude.
01:00:44And all the cameramen started to applaud.
01:00:47Oh, wow.
01:00:49That's great.
01:00:50She immediately softened.
01:00:52That was the thing that broke her.
01:00:53She was like, I can understand that.
01:00:56We became friends afterwards.
01:00:58Do you have a favorite comfort food?
01:01:00Gotta ask that.
01:01:01Oh, my mother's from Italy.
01:01:04She's passed away now.
01:01:05So if there is one dish that you can put in front of me, it will make me happy every
01:01:10single time.
01:01:11It's good old spaghetti and meatballs.
01:01:13And a nice red sauce, homemade sauce, cooked for at least three hours, usually the day before, because it's always
01:01:19better the second day.
01:01:20And the pasta, of course, al dente.
01:01:22All right.
01:01:23I'm Italian, you know, so I love it.
01:01:25Well, you're a delight.
01:01:26Thank you so much for doing this.
01:01:28And I wish you success with your book.
01:01:30It sounds awesome.
01:01:31Well, thank you so much.
01:01:32It was a pleasure being on.
01:01:33Pleasure meeting you virtually and maybe someday in the future.
