Jonny 5 and Flat Stanley like being on the road too…

This will be the third week in a row, that I’ve posted this list of 7 things…

It might be a new habit.

It’s fun for me because I can share a little more personal information as well as some of the things I learned about health as well.

We’re all learning every day, right?

But before I start, I do want to mention that the “How to Read Your Blood Tests” program will only be almost 50% off until Monday, September 6th.

If you are considering it, or haven’t read about it yet, now’s the time to get it.

Here’s where to go…

Moving forward:

Here are my 7 insights for the week…

1. You gotta be careful when you listen to what other people say.

As we were driving to Phoenix, Annmarie and I were chatting about our stay in LA.

Ann shared with me something that someone had said in a conversation during our time there.

At first, I believed it and just nodded my head.

But after a few minutes, the idea resurfaced and I told Ann that it just couldn’t be true.

I did some quick Internet searches to confirm my suspicions and, in fact, it wasn’t even close to being true. (It wasn’t health related at all.)

The science that would make the idea possible didn’t even exist yet.

The fact was, the idea Ann had heard, was a complete impossibility based on what exists.

This happens every day.

People – goodheartedly – share information that just isn’t true. (They also share good information that is true as well.)

In the health world, it’s less innocent, because that information – even if it was intended to do good – could direct someone down the wrong path.

My whole body of work over the last few years has been focused on doing my best to only present information that, as far as I know, is worth it’s weight.

I’ve made mistakes and I’ve been right.

All I’m saying here is that you can’t expect everyone to be right – expert or not.

Question them. Find out where they got their information from.

(Side Note: Be sure to do it nicely. An aggressive challenger is no fun in any room, situation or lecture.)

2. You never know what you’re going to get when you interview someone.

This week I interviewed Susan Schenck, author of “The Live Food Factor,” and I have to admit, I was ready to hear the regular raw food propaganda. (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! I’ve just heard it more than you can imagine.)

What I did get was quite the opposite.

In fact, Susan explained why she is no longer vegan. I was thrilled she was sharing something that she felt strongly enough about, regardless of what people in the public thought of her before.

I was also excited that her transition was based on her symptoms, looking at her blood work and listening to her body.

The interview is educational and interesting – regardless of your dietary views – you have to check it out on the show over the next few episodes.

3. As advanced as the US thinks it is…

It’s still stuck in 1215 or so when it comes to measuring things.

Because of our release of the “How to Read Your Blood Tests” Program, I learned this week that the measurements for reading levels of blood testing – just like the metric system – are the same everywhere except Burma (Myanmar), Liberia, and the United States.

I knew the metric system was used almost everywhere except the US, but for some reason I never equated that to a difference in blood testing levels.

Americans are so stubborn. The non-metric system makes little sense. To hold on to it only exposes an American resistance to change – seen in many manifestations of our daily life – that may eventually be our downfall as a society.

Good news, is that we’re working on the conversions to S.I. now and those will be available in the “How to Read Your Blood Tests” program over the weekend!

4. I miss being in one place.

In San Fransisco, we were just getting into a little bit of a routine.

This past year (and last) we’ve been traveling a bunch.

Over the last 2 months in Marin, we finally had some time to start building a community of like-minded and fun people.

Now we’re out on the road again, we already miss that connection and we’ll have to wait at least another 10 months before we get back to that.

Community is so important to us.

The whole situation is bittersweet… why? See number 5.

5. I missed being on the road.

I know it completely contradicts what I just wrote, but I really do miss being on the road.

There’s so much possibility.

We can go anywhere. We can meet anyone.

We have complete freedom.

Just like community is important to us, so is freedom.

Our ability to travel has brought some amazing information to you and hundreds of thousands people, so we’re grateful for it.

We’re using our freedom in a way that can help.

So I’m thrilled to be out exploring the US again.

I’m sure the shows will reflect that as well.

6. I’ve missed smoothies.

For the last 3 months or so I probably have had about 3 smoothies. I’ve been eating pretty simply and my breakfast has consisted of some fruit, mainly melon.

Over the last two days, I’ve had a smoothie for breakfast and each time I said to Annmarie… “I really miss smoothies, this one is great!”

I’m back on them. Two days was all it took.

7. Air conditioning makes my throat sore.

During the last two days, we’ve been in more air conditioned rooms than we have in the past year.

Every time I’m in an air conditioned climate for more than a day or so, my throat gets scratchy and raw.

These last few days just re-confirm this fact for me.

I wonder if the rawness that I feel in the back of my throat makes me more susceptible to airborne infection?

I’m sure it does in one way or another.

Alright, that’s it for me…

Have a great weekend and be sure to get the “How to Read Your Blood Tests” program while it’s still at almost 50% off.

This deal expires on Monday, September 6th!
