Leighann Lovely: Welcome to another episode of love your sales today. I am joined by Dr. Sal, the founder of Dr. Blue zone. He is a retired. E and T and facial plastic surgeon, as well as a competitive bodybuilder who is empowering Americans to take charge of their health.

And I am completely thrilled to have you here with me, Dr. Sal. , you and I previously [00:02:00] talked and I am really excited to just, you know, pick your brain and learn a little bit about what you do and how you do it. 

Dr. Sal: William, thank you so much for having me on your show. I mean, it's truly an honor, um, to try to help and expand the awareness of the health issues that are taking place in America, and I'm trying to be instrumental in making those changes and really getting people to.

not only take charge of their own health, but also to feel better about themselves, uh, psychologically, emotionally, hopefully spiritually too as well. And for me as a physician physically. 

Leighann Lovely: And that's such a hard, it's, it's hard to Stay on top of being and living healthy when we are living in a world where people are constantly jumping from One thing to the next in the busy lives we live, right?

As a mother, as an entrepreneur, as a salesperson, [00:03:00] Um, there are days where I'm like, oh my gosh, I forgot to eat. Let me just grab the closest most unhealthy thing that's within reach and then continue on to whatever is next, dropping my daughter off at dance, going to an appointment or whatever it might be.

So I am excited to talk about, you know, some of those tips and tricks, but before we do that, What is Dr. Blue Zone? 

Dr. Sal: Well, the blue zone is an area in the world where people, uh, live to be a hundred years old and older, but they're completely functional. I'm talking about people that are 99, a hundred, 101, 102 years old, completely functional.

They're walking, they're walking up the mountain. , they're going out to their farmlands. Uh, the women may be going to the, grocery store or, you know, the little market where they, you know, may buy some of their, you know, foods for [00:04:00] home. And they're walking a quarter mile and carrying their, their groceries back home.

Dr. Sal: So men and women are functional, even at the age of 95, we, we don't, we can't even imagine living to 95 these days. Let alone if you make it to 95, you might be in an extended care facility. You know, with Alzheimer's for the last 10 years of your life, you're not functional. And one of the keys that I'm trying to get Americans to be aware of is that it's one thing to live to be 100.

But you want to be completely functional until you pass. At a hundred years old. The reason why I bring this and the reason why I'm on this quest to try to get people to that area is number one. My family came from that area. My, my parents were immigrants from Italy. My great grandmother lived to be 99 years old.

I went to go see her in 1987. And as I was pulling up the driveway in the farm where they live. [00:05:00] She was 92 years old working outside and you've got feet, you know, 55 year olds walking with walkers, getting total knees, total hip replacement on diabetic medication. Their kidneys are failing. I mean, so the key is, is how do we bring this knowledge to where we're at today?

And it's because of my educational background with the Jesuits. When I went to college, when I was studying biology and everything was compare and contrast. Transcribed And we have to compare and contrast the lifestyle of America in 1850 to where we're at today. Now, it sounds kind of odd, but being from Detroit and I moved here to Arizona in December.

But being in Detroit, I went to the Henry Ford Museum at least 30 times. And it's a fascinating place. So for any of you listeners out there, if you ever go to Detroit, you have to go to the Henry Ford Museum. It's a [00:06:00] two day affair. Go during the summer months where you can go to the indoor museum and the outdoor museum.

The outdoor museum, Henry Ford specifically started to see how the automotive industry was changing the face of the world. And he was saying, wait a minute, the way of life that I knew growing up as a kid is changing. Now he hated the farm life. It was fascinating. If you read the story of Henry Ford, he, you know, as cars were growing and big cities were developing during the industrial revolution, people were getting away from the farmlands.

It was fascinating. And what he was advocating is, hey, if you got your Aunt Millie, you know, take the car that you made working in my factory and now that you're making a good living and you got the weekend off, go visit your Aunt Millie and go work on the farm for a little bit. The stuff that he hated, he now didn't want people to lose [00:07:00] and the beauty of that was, is that you start to see how Americans lived in the 1850s, 1860s, 1870s.

It's the industrial revolution that started changing things. And of course it was gradual, and of course this is where we're at today. Right. And you ask yourself, if we had antibiotics and ventilators, which were two major changes in the medical industry that really kept us living a little bit longer. So you didn't die of a tooth infection.

Right. But, you know, you take my grandparents and my great grandparents, they went through two world wars, Spanish flu, they had no antibiotics, no vaccines. No ventilators. I mean, they were, they would go days without food because during the wars, everything would get bombed and they have to escape, live up in the mountains.

And you ask yourself, how did these people live this way? Now, last year, I made it a point to travel across America three times in my Ford expedition. And I thought about this, you would stop and I was going through the [00:08:00] former Route 66, which is now turned into interstate highways. 

Leighann Lovely: Mm hmm. 

Dr. Sal: Great movie to watch is cars.

The first cars, you know, when the, the lady Porsche attorney says, yeah, this is where the old route 66, it used to go through these towns and everybody was happy because we could service people. Now they, you know, just to cut 10 minutes, they created the, well, I went through those towns and it was sad because.

They abandoned hotels and actually motels, you know, restaurants. I mean, that area. And I'm thinking, Oh, my God, this is like the movie cars. But then I started thinking to myself, how did Americans when Henry Ford made the cars available to people travel across America on dirt roads. You didn't know where the next gas station was.

You didn't know where the next. Subway or pizzeria or McDonald's was there. I mean, we, we've got a pretty bad. I mean, we have air conditioning. I got serious radio, [00:09:00] you know, I got a nice comfortable car. They didn't have that available to them back then, but where we think, oh, I'll just stop and pick up a hamburger.

Well, we will. Wait a minute now. What is that doing to our overall health? And so, if Americans realize, wait a minute, is the way I'm living truly a healthy way of living? And in my thinking about where I'm going to be when I'm 70 or 80 years old, if I make it that long anymore, and that's my concern for Americans because we all think, well, I got my health insurance card and I got my doctor and they're not there to restore your health.

They're there to take care of your sickness and disease. And that's why some of my friends that I, we now call it sick care. You get sick, go to the doctor, he gives you a drug, and it really just treats it, doesn't cure the problem. 

Leighann Lovely: Yes, and that, that is, that seems to be, right. Very few [00:10:00] people, well, , I'm not very few, I mean, most of the people I know, they go to the doctor once a year for what they consider to be their checkup, their wellness visit, but then any other time that you ever go to the doctor, you're going there, Because you're sick, right?

But it's not about preventative care. It's about let's put a band aid on or let's give you a shot or an antibiotic for XYZ. But at the same time, who out there is actually saying, Why don't we try to heal the body instead of just give more medication? I, there has been multiple times where I've gone in and I'm like, well, I've got this pain, I've got this pain.

And doctors are like, yeah, we can't really see anything that's wrong with you. Here's some pain medication. , , I didn't, I don't really want pain medication. I want you to figure out why. I have pain and doctors, well, we, don't know. It's just a phantom, you know, but we can't find it. We could run this test.

We can put you through, you know, an MRI, a CT and it's like, oh, okay, so you can, you can spend 50, [00:11:00] 000 of my insurance money in my out of pocket. And then at the end of the day, you're going to say, well, You know, the only thing we can do is give you a shot, but never solve the problem?

Dr. Sal: Well, and this is very typical, and this is why I tell people, go into the emergency room.

The emergency rooms were really devised for heart attacks, cardiac arrests, respiratory arrests, shortness of breath, car accidents, for trauma. If you go see your family doctor, then it may be a process. It may be a process. Um. Right. Where, you know, they might say, well, I don't know what's going on. I can't see anything clinically on in your body.

But then again, it, but the doctors are, there are some doctors out there that will tell people to change their lifestyle. And Americans won't do that. So there's this, 

Leighann Lovely: they don't know how, 

Dr. Sal: because 

Leighann Lovely: nobody has ever, you [00:12:00] know, you grow up with parents who, you know, going to McDonald's is a treat, it's a special thing.

And then you get to an age where you're like, well, now I get to go whenever I want. And it becomes that habit or it becomes the convenience, the convenience store, you know, the, the gas stations where you can stop in, you can buy your lunch. It's, you know, reasonably priced but you don't realize what you're putting in your body and the long term ramifications until all of a sudden you've gained an additional 20 pounds and you're middle aged or you're an additional, you know, 60 pounds.

You're middle aged and that weight does not come off and the ramifications of that has never really truly been talked about in a way That it raises a red flag that, hey, this could, cut your short, your life shorter. The other thing is, that people don't, it'll never happen to me is the mentality of the [00:13:00] US.

Oh, you know, a dear friend of mine just got breast cancer, but that'll never happen to me until one day it does. And then everybody's like, Oh, I'm so sorry, this has happened to you, know, kidney failure because you drank, you know, mass quantities of alcohol your entire life or, you know, liver damage, whatever it might be, it'll never happen to me until it does it, you know, and it happens to hundreds of thousands of people.

Every day. That number might be wrong. I'm not a, I'm not a doctor. I'm not, I don't, but I'm going to guess that on, on a regular basis, people are dying of these common things we hear about all of the time. My parents told me, you know, Hey, my dad said, you know, I lost three of my uncles to lung cancer. Don't ever smoke.

What do you do as a kid? You're like, well, I'm going to pick up my first cigarette and I'm going to see what it's all about. Not so much. Today, now that we have like, you know, the rise of the vapes, but those, what are those doing to our lungs? It's even worse. [00:14:00] So let's talk about how do you start working with somebody to even begin?

And what are some of those key factors that, for instance, the blue zones, why is it that they, you know, what elements is it? Is it truly? The. being, you know, in that particular area, or is it because that particular area doesn't produce the high fructose corn syrups or what's the trick? 

Dr. Sal: Well, you know, I, I'll answer that question by starting off with the movie twins.

With Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. 

Leighann Lovely: Yes. 

Dr. Sal: And, you know, if you recall in the movie, uh, they go visit the doctor that kind of inseminated the woman with all this DNA modification, you know, with the idea that they were going to produce this superhuman baby, right? That's going to grow up and, you know, But then ends up happening is that the woman has [00:15:00] twins and one's this beautiful, blonde, you know, tall.

And then the other one's the short one, which was Danny DeVito. And of course they separated them. The project came to an end. The mother went to, you know, she went to the mainland and so Arnold grows up in this island. Well, seeks out his brother, which is Danny DeVito, a little wild and crazy, you know, had to live through orphanages and so forth.

It was an interesting story. I mean, really a great movie. But they go visit the doctor that was in charge of this experiment. And he looks at Danny DeVito and he says, listen, you were just the genetic garbage. He's the guy that turned out to be perfect. And then Danny DeVito finally came to the realize realization.

Wait a minute. We are twin brothers. This, this is really true. What my brother Arnold was telling me, and I can't remember. You know, their names in the Julius, I think was his name. Arnold played Julius and, so he walks outside and Arnold comes and he [00:16:00] puts his arm around him. He says, you're not genetic.

He said, I see the world that you're living in. You're running around. You're having nuked food. He says, you're grabbing this up. He said, I came from a paradise island. I was loved. I was cared for. I was educated. I was fed great food, healthy food. He said, you, you live in this world where you're running around and you're, you're trying to hustle and you're grabbing whatever you can and you got relationships and people are coming after you.

This is all messed up. He says, but you are still my brother and it came, you know, that movie was such an example of what I'm trying to exploit. And that is, is that, and I gave lectures with Peter hut. It was the head of the FDA for for many, many years. And it's the food and drug administration. So just keep that in mind.

I'm not going to say anything about it. Okay, but I kind of put myself in [00:17:00] Jesus's place and I try to tell people I'm not here to save you. I'm not here. Like, oh, you got to turn your life to Jesus. But I listened to what Jesus says. And what he did, he didn't change the Roman empire. He didn't change the Pharisees.

He didn't change the establishment, but what he was telling everybody is, look, I love you. I just hate your ways. And if you could change your ways now, here's the whole thing. Now, getting back to the question that you asked us, what is it that these people have in the blue zone? Number one, they live on islands.

There's not very much manufacturing going on in those islands and these people live like they did before the 1850s. They get up, they tend to their sheep, they go to their farm, they eat off the lamb, the sheep are eating grass fed, you know, they're grass fed sheep and animals where there's no pesticides, there's no GMOs.

There's no chemicals. There's no food [00:18:00] colorings. You say, yeah, but their livelihood is very limited. They don't have access to Tostitos and Doritos and Cheetos and Fritos and everything that ends with eatos. They don't have access to Coca Cola and seven up and Sprite and ginger ale, all filled with corn syrup.

They don't eat, you know, breakfast cereal out of a box. So grab an egg that was just laid, cracked the top and drink the egg raw. And you see these old ladies, my great aunts used to do that. They would have cheese and say, Oh, but Jesus fat, healthy fat, you know, they would get the goat's milk. They would make their own cheese.

They would slaughter their own animals. Um, they weren't drinking pop. They were drinking water. And maybe when they were young, like my grandfather, he says, Oh, I don't drink milk. That's for babies after a certain age. You know, he ate cheese. He didn't drink milk and only drink was coffee, wine and water.

And the wine was homemade wine. You [00:19:00] know, I mean, they had to make everything from scratch. Now you're saying, but Dr. Sal, look at the lifestyle that we live. And what I'm trying to say is, is that you we got to start cooking at home. Now, if you come from a small town where you don't have a whole foods or a sprouts or a times which, you know, where they carry organic foods, Then I always tell everybody shop around the periphery where you get your meat, your dairy, your eggs, your vegetables, your fruits.

That's the only place you should shop. Do not go in the aisles where things are canned, boxed or bagged with colors, preservatives, flavorings, additives, stuff that's added in there that God never intended for us to eat. 

Leighann Lovely: Right. Now, what is the point of putting coloring in food? 

Dr. Sal: Well, here's what's happening in the food industry as time has progressed.

And that was one of the interesting things that when you go to the Henry [00:20:00] Ford Museum and you start to see, they show these little videos of like the 1950s. When, oh my gosh, we now have a convention, you know, convention iron, I mean, oven, you know, you don't have to put fire or you don't have to put wood in the stove and get the, like my great grandmother used to do, you know, everything is all look, you just turn on the switch and you know, you've got the electric stove and you could cook your food quicker.

So what's happened is, is that as time went on, is the food industry said, well, how can we make it simple for a woman to make a cake? Right. So 

Leighann Lovely: , the simpler we've made it, the more chemicals, the more yes, that we've added in to our own world. I mean, really the reality of it is that our world, you, you create a cost.

It faster, more efficient. Now it has more admissions that we are now breathing in, which is all great. But the [00:21:00] ramifications that it has then on the human body. And that's, and that's awesome. So ultimately, it comes down to what you can control.

Dr. Sal: And that now, that's what makes it more challenging for we Americans.

Because 

Dr. Sal: we're 5 percent of the population consuming 85 percent of the pharmaceutical drugs of the world. We are that small of a population that's consuming more pharmaceutical drugs than any other country in the world. And you have to ask yourself, but Dr. Sal, I gotta really work at this. And what I'm trying to tell you is, Just so you don't spend the last six months of your life withering and rotting away in a hospital bed, because that's what I saw for 30 years.

And in the 30 years that I was practicing through the hospitals, it kept getting worse and worse and worse. Now we have these L techs, which I used to work as I used to manage the airways. And we could keep people alive for four or five, [00:22:00] six months versus when I started my internship in 1990, you know, once you couldn't make it past the intensive care unit, you were done.

Maybe we could send you to an extended care facility. Now, they're putting them in the hospitals as L techs, literally one floor where we can keep you on a ventilator for four or five months. Even though you can't really breathe on your own, and we start pumping you with 22, 24, 26 different drugs. Once we get you over one hump, something else happens, because now the system is completely dysfunctional.

We're talking about the body. And I'm saying, this is what we're doing to human beings, and this is what people don't see. I used to walk into a room, and I would see a patient just looking out the window with all these problems. And I had to walk out because I didn't want to interrupt them because what was going through their mind was, what is this where my life has brought me?

And it's the pain of regret that's more painful than the [00:23:00] pain of discipline. And that's what I tell everybody, hey, to discipline yourself to do this. It is a headache. It's extra work, but in the long run, you can make it to 95, work in your garage, play with your grandchildren, you know, and I tell everybody have sex with your wife at 95, go to bed and not wake up in the morning.

The next thing you know, you're fighting yourself in heaven. I mean, that, I mean, that's the ideal way to go, but I could see if you had to suffer the last two weeks of your life in a hospital. That's where a hundred years ago, hospitals were designed for literally for people to die. Yeah. And so they sent you there just to make you comfortable.

They didn't have the IVs like we had today. They didn't have the medications like we had today. They made you comfortable, but it wasn't this prolonged four to six months. And then prior to that, for the last 10, 15 years, you were suffering with kidney disorder where you had a kidney renal dialysis, [00:24:00] uh, you know, your diabetes, and you were on these medications and you had the side effects.

Leighann Lovely: Right. So how does again, you know, I, I know you have, we'll get to this in a second where you can get your shameless plug. You have a workshop coming up, but so for those who are listening, you know, again, the busy professionals, the salespeople of the world who are constantly bouncing from place to place.

Let's, let's throw out a couple of healthy snacks that they can carry with them versus stopping at a gas station and grabbing a, which is what I do, you know, grabbing a sandwich off the shelf, you know, a hot one of their hot sandwiches or stopping at a fast food restaurant. What are some of the healthy snacks that they could bring with them, whether that be organic carrots or, vegetables.

You know, what is, what are some of your recommendations on that? 

Dr. Sal: Well, to start off with, one of the benefits That I've had in my life [00:25:00] is I became a competitive bodybuilder. It started off when I was 15 years old. I joined the original, the original powerhouse gym in Detroit. And there was this guy who was managing the gym.

We didn't have trainers like you have today. Okay. You bought the book, you read the book, you bought the muscle magazines and you went in there and you started exercising. You watch these other guys who were competitive bodybuilders and you watch them with, Hey, what's this exit? And it was. It's like a kid picking up a guitar without taking guitar lessons and he hangs out with a bunch of guitars and he's just picking up how to play it.

And then you've actually learned that you become Stevie Ray Vaughan. You know, and that's how he learned it. He didn't, he didn't take any formal lessons, but there's black gentlemen by the name of LeVon Hall was cut. He just moved in from California to start working at this gym. And of course it was a little raffle in a wall.

You know, it wasn't like these big, huge gyms. Like we have today, the lifetime fitness is the EOS that I trained here is the smallest one, and they got a thousand people going to it a [00:26:00] day. And he said, Sal, 85 percent of bodybuilding is what you eat. But then you have to learn, you have to make your protein shakes.

You have to meal prep. So if you didn't have that much time in the morning and you had to have your four eggs, you didn't have time. Okay, on a Sunday, I would boil two dozen eggs and I'd have hard boiled eggs. And, you know, then I would shell them the night before and get them ready. So for breakfast in the morning, I'm walking out of the house.

And I got my hard boiled eggs and I could bring some, you know, a bag of raw nuts and I have my coffee and of course I use heavy cream in my coffee with stevia as a sweetener. None of the artificial sweeteners, no sugar. Stevia is a natural, uh, plant, like a peppermint plant, natural sweetener doesn't spike your insulin.

So it's called meal prepping. So you've got to take at least 15, 20 minutes at night, even making an omelet, make your omelet at night. So whatever leftover [00:27:00] steak you have with some eggs and onions, you throw a little cheese in there. You make your steak and egg omelet. That's it. And if you've got to go somewhere now, the beauty of it is, is that I traveled on a plane recently and it was a lady that actually brought her own food.

Right. And I'm like, oh, can you do that now? She says, yeah, like, great, but you can't bring any liquids. Okay. So the protein shakes. So you meal prep and you buy these little containers. I prefer putting everything in glass, of course, but if you are traveling, you could put it in a little plastic container and you could bring it with you on the plane.

And so instead of eating food that's coming out of the airport or what's on the plane, you could bring your own food. Now, sometimes I say, well, I'm leaving at 1 o'clock in the afternoon here, Arizona time, or let's say 10 o'clock in the morning. I'll have breakfast. And then I'll get to Detroit and I'll have dinner with my mother.

Dr. Sal: And of course, she eats at home all the time. She's 85. Her sister's 87. My mother doesn't even go out to the restaurants, man. She [00:28:00] will not eat that stuff. But then again, she's 85 years old, no health issues. So eating at home and knowing what you're cooking with, and then of course, we refine what you use at home to cook with.

But, you know, going to certain stores where you could buy , raw pistachios, walnuts, brazil nuts, , pumpkin seeds and put that in a bag that could hold you over until you get to your destination. 

Leighann Lovely: Right. 

Dr. Sal: You know, and then when you get your, to your destination, if you're staying at a hotel, you want to look for a place that has a nice restaurant.

Now, of course I, I get picky with the restaurants. I mean, I, I go in the back and I'll ask the chef or the cook, I'll say, what kind of oil are you using? And they show me this oil in a plastic bottle. I says, where's it coming from? I mean, son of a gun, 

Leighann Lovely: here, here, it's just random oil. 

Dr. Sal: You know why? Because these oils are trans fats.

[00:29:00] That's a killer. That's a kill. Forget this idea that it's a saturated fats. That was proven in 1957 by Fred Coomberall, but no doctor or cardiologist is going to tell you that today. Mm hmm. These are things that are forgotten. I mean, Otto Warnberg out of Germany in the 1920s says it's sugar that causes these cancers.

And we were sugar laden and cancers on the rise, trans fats, a top on top of the heavy metals and the chemicals and so forth. So meal prepping is very important. So if you have a busy lifestyle, you have to start meal prepping at home, right? And I mean, who can't make some eggs and say, well, look, I don't have breakfast at 6 o'clock in the morning, but I got to be out of the house by 6.

Like, okay, make it at night with you at work and try to get try to get a toaster oven as opposed to a microwave. So you see these little changes that you start making at [00:30:00] work. And saying, Oh, he's got to use the toaster oven. That's right. Oh, you can't have a slice of pizza. That's right. I'm getting ready for a competition.

Leighann Lovely: Right? Listen, 

Dr. Sal: I got a health issue. I'm trying to take care of my body. I'll eat the way I want to eat. And you know what I learned in life? It's not selfish to do what you want to do. It's selfish when you tell other people how to live their life. Now you say, but you must be a selfish guy because you're telling people, because as a doctor, I know that what you're doing right now is causing damage to your health overall.

And we have these health issues in America. We have to address them. 

Leighann Lovely: So that, that is great advice, Neil. I mean, some of the stuff that you listed, I mean, the, all the different kinds of nuts and all of, I, I absolutely love, it's one of my favorite snacks is, is just getting a handful of nuts and almonds or, um, I don't know, or almonds.

I love almonds. Yes. 

Dr. Sal: Almonds. I mean, walnuts, your [00:31:00] pistachios, your Brazil nuts, but just throwing in a little plastic baggie. Right. Thank you. And, you know, that's what you're going to snack on when you're traveling, 

Leighann Lovely: right? And those are all, I mean, those are really great ideas just to hold you over, especially if you are constantly, especially if you're a salesperson who's just on the road, you know, traveling during the daytime instead of, and that's also a money saver.

If you're, instead of stopping at the gas station, instead of stopping at a fast food restaurant, right? Yeah. Those are just a little, a couple of little tips and tricks of, of not only being healthier, but saving money because you can buy that in bulk and then, you know, carry that with you. So those are some great tips.

We are coming to time. I want to give you your 32nd shameless pitch. I know that you have a workshop coming up, so, you know, tell us a little bit about that and um, yeah, and we'll, make sure that we get that information out there too. 

Dr. Sal: Well, the workshop is going to be a two and a half hour workshop where I'm going to be talking and it's it's a it's a part one [00:32:00] phase workshop because it's Two and a half hours.

Really, I cannot talk about everything in two and a half hours, but the objective is, is it's how to start getting on a health restoration program. If you have diabetes, if you have hypertension, if you're overweight, if you have kidney problems, if you have neurologic disorders, we can help you reverse that.

Now it's a start to get you in and eventually get you into a program where we literally follow you for 6 to 12 months. It's personalized to the individual and we use from diet modifications to supplements to peptides, hormones, all of these things that we get you to do, uh, chelation therapy, all of this stuff, literally clean your body out, get you to start changing your ways, which takes time to do, and then watch these diseases just eventually fade away.

Leighann Lovely: Amazing. And if somebody is interested [00:33:00] in, learning how they can sign up for that, is that on your website? , where are they? 

Dr. Sal: We're going to have that on the website, and it's going to be drblue zone. com, blue zone. com. And we'll have a, um, a location there, a link that you can help join you. It'll get you to join, So that you can sign up for it.

 And then from there, you know, it'll tell you what you need to do fill out whatever forms that you have to fill out. And so you can attend it. It will be. Uh, 12 o'clock Mountain Standard time, which is really right now Yukon time, which is specific. So it would be 3 o'clock Eastern time and 2 o'clock Central Standard time.

So it's going to be about 2 and a half hours. It's going to be great. You know, there's going to be times where people can ask questions. And then hopefully get people to start being more aware. It's [00:34:00] time for us Americans to really start taking charge. Right. You can't, you can't expect some old man with a white beard to come out of the sky and come and save you.

And you can't pray the, our father who art in Washington, that's going to fix everything. We really have to take on the mentality of what our founding fathers taught us. And that is we take charge of our own life, but you'll feel better overall with everything that you do. Because then you could claim that this is mine.

Leighann Lovely: Awesome. So yeah, Dr. Sal, I really appreciate you coming on and I hope that, , everybody has gotten, you know, a couple of tips and tricks that they can walk away with to live a healthier lifestyle, especially as salespeople, entrepreneurs who are constantly on the go. I know that, I need better, you know, healthier, you know, ways.

So I, I do really appreciate your time today. 

Dr. Sal: Well, you know what, Leanne? It's, it's a great day for you because you have me as your friend, so anytime you, you got my phone [00:35:00] number, so you call me, okay? 

Leighann Lovely: I definitely will take you up on that.
