holy moly, listening to this was a very important experience for me. i have pretty severe mold allergies and live in the uk. it is really awful for me to deal with. on top of it, i had severe formaldehyde poisoning when i was in naturopathic medical school. i was bedridden for six months and had to give up medicine.
my only question is how come i can lose weight with diet and exercise in the recent past? i was poisoned then too. very interesting.
You can always force yourself to lose weight in the short term. The question is can you sustain it? In order to sustain weight loss, you have to address the real issues that are causing the problem and that’s what this is about.
so lowering your toxicity or eating a sustained detox diet allows for the body to avoid becoming obese? that makes sense. thanks!
Than you so much. Every minute was spot on and so very inspirational coming from an MD that has been there and is thriving with functional alternative medicine! Fabulous session.
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the note 🙂 Anne, GM Team
absolutely amazing. I loved it !!!
I’m in awe Jon, and so grateful! This program alone is worth my monthly membership fee, and you continually offer us enlightening, useful information that I recognize as truth and readily use. My life and health along with my husband’s and family’s are being affected for good. Moreover I’m able to to direct others to you, and to people you introduce so they can learn for themselves.
As president of a large women’s organization through my church, I’m constantly in contact with the needs of women, and their families. Their concerns cover all aspects of human existence. They are always seeking truths that will lead them physically and spiritually in strengthening and motivating paths, and bring joy and fulfillment. Your work and the work of others is bringing relief to the weary and discouraged. Thank you for being one of the brave and confident pioneers, honestly involved in the wholeness of humanity!
Thank you. This is a fabulous programme that I can’t fault. You have brought together some of the wisest and most knowledgeable people on the planet, not necessarily just for weightloss. This whole programme is a fabulous gift for mankind, at a time when we all sorely need it.
I struggle with computer technology and miss a few sessions but I will get there. My food cravings are certainly changing – and lessening! It’s taken a long time and I have been meditating all my life(trying, at least)

I have a question, I live in Salt Lake City Utah where the air quality is pretty poor most of the time. Do you have any suggestions for me? Unfortunately moving is a little out of the question at the moment
Try to get up to the mountains when you can. Alta is one of the most beautiful places on earth and very close. The air is very pure there.
