138: Is this “stealth lectin” destroying your health?
Serious life-altering illnesses are often thought of as things that simply happen to us — that we have no real control over them.
But my guest today, Sayer Ji, says the opposite is true – and what he’s about to share is FASCINATING.
Sayer is the founder of the health database (which I subscribe to), GreenMedInfo, and the author of Regenerate: Unlocking Your Body’s Radical Resilience Through New Biology.
He says that eating right, exercising, and relief can have a much greater impact on your health than your actual DNA.
In fact, Sayer was able to transform himself from what he called “an overweight, inactive, asmatic with a bum hip” into a marathon-running natural health advocate who hasn’t used medication in decades.
And on today’s episode, Sayer and I explain what’s REALLY increasing your likelihood of developing chronic illness (and why it’s NOT always genetics), reveal some of the deadliest toxins on the planet (and they could be in MANY of the foods you eat), and share the BEST foods to eat to protect your health.

Genes? Everything that we had ever seen, had experienced, read, heard… is stored in our brain, in our subconscious, that influence our behaviour and decision making. Behaviour is learned it is not genetic, unless yo are a swan what was born in duck yard. That is why humans don’t make mistakes, all decisions are the best at the moment. based on the current knowledge and previous experience. Unfortunately we are slaves of our subconscious, it decides before you do.
