116. Anya & Coral Young: Gary Brecka's Nieces Share Their Journey to Ultimate Health
This is a podcast titled "116. Anya & Coral Young: Gary Brecka's Nieces Share Their Journey to Ultimate Health" recorded in November 2024. The content features a conversational interview hosted by Gary Brecka with his two young nieces, Anya and Coral Young, aged 9 and 7 respectively. They discuss their experiences with nutrition, vitamins, healthy lifestyle habits, and biohacking practices such as cold plunges and hydrogen baths. The conversation also touches on the impact of diet on mood, anxiety, and sleep, aimed at educating parents and children about healthy living and prevention.
One night, forgot to take my vitamins. I couldn't fall asleep.
Because your mind was awake?
Yeah, my mind was just, like, everywhere thinking of so much things, and I couldn't, like, shut my brain down. My dad said sunscreen can be bad for your skin, and there's chemicals in it, so I don't put sunscreen on my skin. But if I get, like, a sunburn or something, my dad, he has, like, an aloe plant, and he'll cut up some, and then he'll rub it all over us, even if we don't like it. And then we look way better the next day.
You know, so many brands of sunscreen have actually been taken off the market because they cause cancer and they're supposed to prevent cancer from the sun.
A lot of people who are watching this might change their diet, because a lot of people have been changing their diet since you started this company.
What advice would you give to kids your age? What would you say if they're like, I just love Doritos. That's what I want to eat. How do they change their habits?
Well, if they change their habits.
Ultimate Human. Hey, guys. Welcome back to the Ultimate Human podcast. I'm your host, Gary Breca, human biologist, where we go down the road of everything anti aging, biohacking, longevity, and everything in between. And today's guests, guests, plural, are probably going to be my two favorite podcast guests of all times. I have brought a. A new angle to the Ultimate Human podcast, and this is the angle coming from the little guys, right? We're going to hear from two of the healthiest nieces in the world. Welcome to the podcast. Anya and Coral Young. Can you guys tell the audience which of you is which? What are your names?
Hi, my name is Coral.
My name is Anya.
And how old are you guys?
I'm seven.
And I'm nine.
She's seven. She's nine. So Anya and Coral Young, these are my. These are my nieces. They are my wife's sister's children, and they are two of the healthiest young kids in the world. And today, we're going to go down the road of nutrition in young children, because moms and dads, listen up. Your kids can learn how to eat, what to avoid, what to gravitate towards, what the healthy snacks they prefer, and they can actually enjoy their bedtimes. So here we go. We're going to. It says speed. Round of questions. Are you guys ready?
Yeah, I think so.
All right, five questions, rapid fire. What is your favorite food?
Cherries. Probably frozen cherries, too.
Wow. Frozen cherries. Okay. Do you like to go to bed?
Yes. Yes.
You like getting a good night's sleep, huh? How do you feel after you get a good night's sleep?
Probably really, like, good. And once I like. It's a school night, like, you might want to, like, sleep really good.
I feel a lot better than not sleeping.
Yeah, that's a good. That's a good point. What's your favorite soda? Ooh, trick question.
I don't have a favorite soda. The only time I would ever drink soda like I did this summer was when we went to Italy. We were allowed to have Mexican Coke, but that's because they actually use real type of sugar and not fake.
Wow. Is that your favorite too?
Yeah.
Okay, what's your favorite drink then?
Probably, probably like water or sparkling water. But if I had to pick a special drink, it would probably be cranberry juice.
What about you?
Same water and sparkling water, but I would also think an Olipop. It's like a seltzer water, but it, like, it tastes like a soda, but it's really just healthy.
Wow. Big shout out to Olipop. So, guys, when we started this journey, do you remember we did that little Q tip test where we put the Q tip in your mouth and then we got those different colored rectangles, came back, and we put them up on the TV in your. In your living room one day, and we were able to look at those colored rectangles and say, that's Anya. That's Coral, because one of you is a rule follower. One of you, not so much. Right. Who's the rule follower over here?
Probably her. Me.
Yeah, definitely.
I can follow rules, but, like, sometimes.
I'll just be really hyper.
You'll be really hyper. Okay. And what about you? Like, sometimes, you know, we. We didn't really know how to tell our mom and dad that we were feeling anxiety. We were feeling anxious. Right. So why don't you talk about that a little bit? Like, what kinds of things were making you feel fearful and making you feel, like, a little anxious?
I feel like we used to have these type of pretzels, and my mom and dad didn't notice that it had folic acid in it. And I was having them, and I would get sick all the time. And then when it came to the point where you guys figured out that folic acid wasn't good for us, then we stopped having the folic acid and started turning it over to folic acid free. So folic. I think it's what it's Called and.
Yeah, folate. And how did you feel after that?
I felt a lot more better and I felt more happier.
Right. And what about you, Coral? Why? You guys take vitamins every day, right?
Yeah.
And do you notice a difference when you take your vitamins and you don't take your vitamins?
Probably because, like, once we take our vitamins, we just feel, like, calm and we don't get all crazy and, like, anxiety like my mom does. And then when we do, we just feel like, I just sold out vitamins.
On Amazon to every mother in the world.
I feel when I take my vitamins, I feel more happier and more calmer. And I don't feel like I want to express my madness to other people and just express it on to them when they don't. When they didn't actually mean it. And it just makes me sometimes want.
To flick people off, but I don't ever do that. I don't ever do that.
When you mean flick people off.
You like, hey, how you doing, Chinese middle finger.
There you go.
Okay. Okay. Well, there. There we have it. I mean, kids pick up the darndest things at school nowadays. Public school system just not what it used to.
I mean, like, do you know what the word yacht means? Because if you don't, then you should probably go back to school.
Yes, I know what a yacht is.
Okay, what about Sigma?
No.
Okay. You should probably go back to school and learn from it.
Wow. Hey, this is my podcast. I'm the smart one here. Okay? I will ask the questions. Okay, so. So you take your vitamins. You really enjoy taking your vitamins. You feel a lot better on them. And since we started working together and your mom and dad started really uncovering the benefits of not eating folic acid and eating whole foods, what are some of the things that you see your friends eating that you guys just don't eat?
Probably like these cheese puffs and goldfish and Cheez Its and, like, Cheetos and.
Doritos and like, a bunch of stuff where we're just, like, in my class. So my teacher has to sometimes pass out snacks, and she. For like, the last week, she's been passing out snacks where I realize I'm not allowed to have this. So I'm gonna back out and not eat snack and tell my mom, hey, you forgot to pack me a snack. I just want to remind you, like, there's bad snacks that my teacher didn't realize that I'm not allowed to have.
What are some of those bad snacks?
Probably, like, Cheez its and the Doritos.
And what kind of stuff is in Cheez Its and Doritos? Like, why can't you eat those?
Folic acid.
Folic acid.
And there's red dye, so dye. There is also. What do you call it?
Msg.
Yeah. Msg.
Yep. That's a bad one, if you know that word. I will give you $100 if you know what MSG is.
I've heard it before. I've heard of it before.
Mono.
I've heard of it before, but I just heard that it was MSG.
That's my $100. Would say if it's monosodium glutamate. But MSG is, like, flavoring that they use. Found a lot of Chinese food, too, but food dyes. You're right. Folic acid, all of this stuff, they're cooked in seed oils. But do you feel like you're missing out? Because what kind of things do you eat that you like to eat? So you don't feel like you're missing out on Doritos and Cheetos and. And Goldfish and all of those things?
Probably, like, cucumbers and fruit. And I notice you eat a lot of that. Yeah. And if we have a snack to eat, it would probably be, like, crackers or, like, some chips that we can have.
Okay.
Like, made good. And there's some Annie's that we can have. But in some Annie's, they put bad things in it that we're not allowed to have.
Like the folic acid.
Yeah.
Like the birthday cake ones we're not allowed to have.
Well, you know, when you see things like birthday cake and some of these things, you know, not the actual birthday cake, but birthday cake flavor, you know, there's preservatives. Right. And sometimes those aren't the best things for you guys to eat, but you don't look or sound like you're missing out on your favorite snacks. What are now, like, some of your favorite things to eat? Because I see you guys eat a lot of veggies. You eat a lot of carrot sticks. You eat a lot. Tomatoes, blueberries. I see those on your treat trays all the time. It makes me so happy, but just so, like, other kids out there are going, ew, I couldn't eat that. I like Doritos, you know? Tell me why you don't feel like you're missing out.
Well, because, like, if I was missing out, then I would be probably kind of happy because if I ate all of that stuff, it's, like, bad for you, and it has, like, bad stuff. In it. And like, your parents, like, don't know that. So it's.
But how does it make you feel? You. You told me one day that you notice a difference when you eat that kind of food.
Yeah, when I eat all that type of food, I don't feel good. And sometimes I get a stomachache and I don't. And I don't, like, feel like my normal self when I don't have that. Like when other people are eating, like, cake with gluten and they're eating Burger King and they're eating all that stuff, I'm looking on the bright side because I know that when I eat that stuff, I become mad and. And that I don't feel good. And then sometimes I express it on my mom and then express it on my mom, and then I kind of.
And then she gives you the Chinese New Year.
No. And then I kind of just go to a corner and express my feelings about myself. So I'm happy. I don't eat all that stuff.
It's called timeout.
No, not time out. But I mean, like, I just put myself there.
You put yourself there. Cause sometimes you just feel so much anxiousness or so much anxiety that you just want to just leave the room and go be by yourself and just let it calm down. And I've seen you do that before. Do you feel a difference when you eat bad food versus when you eat the good foods?
I eat like Dairy Queen or of McDonald's or all of that bad stuff. I would probably get a stomach ache. Like when I was with my Nonna, I ate bad ice cream and on accidentally and I got a stomachache. So then I didn't do that ever until my mom said, like, I'm okay. And the next morning I felt fine.
Nona's are known for that, right? Nona's break the rules.
It's more papas. It's more papa.
And you notice that Nona broke the rules with the rule breaker, not with the rule follower. They know where the weak chain, weak link is.
They know where we have to stop and be like, okay, we're gonna take a break from this stuff. Let's go. Any something, like, we go to food and thought, and they have these ice cream sandwich bars. I think your wife just got me some to eat over there.
Your Aunt Sage is my Aunt Sage. That's my wife.
Your wife.
How about your fur to us? My wife.
I eat those.
And we have a lot of fun eating them because we eat them and it just tastes delicious. And it tastes like something like that other kids are able to taste, but more in, like, a healthier way.
Yeah. So what do you guys consider to be, like, some good foods and what are considered to be some bad foods? And what are some bad foods you used to eat that you don't eat anymore?
Well, some goldfish we used to eat that Arnon and Papa bought for us until we heard about this. And my mom said, you can't eat them anymore. So that's probably one. Probably some Cheez its that we used to have.
Yep. I don't see those around the house anymore.
And then probably. Well, those are the only things that I remember, so I remember being able.
To, before she was even born, to be able to have pretzels. And I would just eat a whole bag, like, every day.
And that's when you actually would feel mad sometimes.
Yep.
And I would yell at my mom and my dad and then I would pow in a corner. Yeah.
Yeah. All that stuff that doesn't. You want to take your hats off because you came and see. Oh, there we go. It's a bright light. Yeah. Take off the alt. We just had to. We just had to promote the ultimate human swag gear. It's the hottest selling item on Amazon. They can't get it in stock anywhere in the world. These shirts are flying on the shelf. You two are lucky to have those. So what kinds of things do you. Do you ever tell your friends this? Like, hey, maybe the reason why you're sad or the reason why you're tummy upset, or the reason why you get angry or you feel anxious or anxiety. Maybe it's what you're eating. And do you ever talk to them about, maybe you could try changing your snacks and change the foods you're eating a little bit?
Well, I don't really say that, but I say, like, when I wore this shirt to school, I said, I'm an ultimate human with my Aunt Sage and Uncle Gary. And I eat healthy food, so not like all of all the bad stuff, like Doritos and Cheez Its and all that stuff that we already talked about.
Well, if you're eating so much healthy food, why are your teeth falling out?
They are. Because she's sick.
Like, she's seven. She, like, I lost a bunch of teeth. But you did.
Oh, I thought maybe, like, on the side you were having sugar and your teeth were falling out.
No, they're coming back.
Yeah. And you guys are so Coffee. Well, you did.
Well, that happened from a friend. She kind of had the cough, and then she kind of spread it gave it to us.
So I love that you're coughing right into my microphone because that's usually my chair, so that's great. Well, she kind of did that. And, you know, see, the suggestion that you need to cough is making you cough. So here's the other cool thing that I love that you guys do. Now let's switch to, like, some of the fun activities that we do. Like, first of all, we're not afraid of the sun, right?
No, no, no.
We're not afraid of sunscreen.
Well, the thing I think is my dad said it's. There's sunscreen that's. Sunscreen can be bad for your skin, and there's chemicals in it, and when you put it on your skin, it's just not good for you. So I don't put sunscreen on my skin. But after, like, if I get, like, a sunburn or something, my dad, he has, like, an aloe plant, and he'll cut up some.
And he literally does go cut it right out of the yard.
He'll cut it out from me, too.
Yard.
Cut it. Let all the icky stuff flow out of it. And then he'll rub it all over us, even if we don't like it. And then we feel. And then we look way better the next day.
You feel better the next day.
Way better.
Yeah, you can use beef tallow and zinc, things like that. You know, so many brands of sunscreen have actually been taken off the market because they cause cancer, and they're supposed to prevent cancer, not getting canceled. Yeah, yeah, that seems a little crazy, right?
Someone. Someone who I know told me that it was an adult, and they were like, you should always wear sunscreen every day to prevent your skin from the sun in case if you get, like, skin cancer. And I'm thinking to myself, my Aunt Sage and Uncle Gary are health people, and they tell me that some types of sunscreen that you're wearing right now prevents you getting cancer. Skin cancer.
This is my personal favorite, the brownie bar. This is going to sound crazy. It has raw cacao. It's got MCT oil. It's got coconut oil. You'll see when you open these. You will see the raw food in this press bar. I mean, it's just amazing. Look at all of the raw food that you can see in there. It's actually green cabbage, broccoli. I know those don't sound like they go well together, but wait till you taste this. You can press whole foods into a bar like this, and it tastes just like a brownie this is my absolute go to favorite. If you just keep breaking this apart, you'll just see all the raw food in there, the raw cacao, you can see the shiny nuts in there. This is a great way to sneak vegetables into your kids day because it's packed with organic vegetables so you can get broccoli and green cabbage into their diets. And it tastes just like a brownie. It's amazing. Oh my God, that is so good. That is my go to favorite. You're gonna love it too. Now let's get back to the ultimate human podcast. That's right. Some. Well, some of the sunscreens can actually, you know, have been linked to causing skin cancer. We can use natural things like beef tallow and zinc and things like that. I mean, do your friends wear a lot of sunscreen?
Yes. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, it's not all sunscreens aren't. Aren't that bad for you. But the other thing that's really cool that you guys do talk about some of your favorite things to do at Uncle Gary's house. Had the cold plunge.
The cold.
You gave me a very chilly hug.
Today when I came up. Yes.
After my four minute cold plunge. Yes.
You did four minutes in the cold plunge. Have you done that long?
She went one minute.
I did one minute. Cuz like my dad told me if you like go in for too long, you get like too cold. So I didn't really want to do much time.
But we do lots of other fun stuff. Right. Like you've been in the sauna.
The red light bed.
The red light bed.
The hydrogen bath.
The hydrogen bath. They love. You love coming over here and doing the biohacking stuff. Right. Which one's your favorite?
Probably the hydrogen bath.
Why? Because it's warm. Yeah.
And it gives like because last time I came here I went in there and it all the stuff, like all the scrapes and all of the like stuff that you got hurt with makes it feel better. And the next day.
And it heals super fast, right?
It feels really fast.
Yeah. Bug bites.
Like I had a full scrape right.
Here and it was like a full on scrape. Like it was a full on scab. And I just went into the hydrogen bath and I come out, I look at my knee and I'm like, oh.
My gosh, it's all gone.
Yeah. It's pretty wild how that works, right? It's very anti inflammatory. So which you say your favorite is a hydrogen bath. How do you feel when you get out of a cold plunge?
Probably really nice. Like Once you're. Once you're like sweating hot, you really want to go in it. And like, that's how I feel. So, like, I think that I'm sweating hot and then I go in there and it feels really cold, but it makes you feel really better. So when I get out, I feel really chilly.
But it feel.
It's good for your skin.
How about you?
So we have a cold plunge at our house.
Well, you know what my favorite picture of you guys is? It wasn't really a cold punch. It was a cooler. Did your dad put some ice in and then put some water in and then you guys got in it? Remember that one before you had the cold plunge?
And so we have a cold plunge now, like a real cold plunge in our garage. And my dad does it a lot before we go to bed because it's supposed to help you, like, calm down and it just kind of helps you, like, settle in.
And I remember when I first started my company Almost. Almost 10 years ago, your dad was actually cold plunging. I thought he was out of his mind. And then five years later, I'm like the cold plunge king. I teach cold plunge course. So sometimes your dad's like way ahead of his time with all the nutrition stuff. Like the aloe plan, I think he got from. I mean, that's been around for centuries, right? And sometimes, you know what's always been around, just the basics makes. Makes things a lot better. Right. Do you know any of your friends that do any of these things?
I don't think so. But like some people said they still eat some of the stuff that we do, but they. But some of the stuff that they eat, they don't. So I don't think so because they like never done it. But I think they like jumped in. In something cold or like had accidentally.
Gotten their cold pool.
Yeah, I know some friends who take the vitamins we take, which we call sagey vitamins.
Yeah, Sage Y vitamins.
That's okay. She deserves a credit. She helped develop them. But they're called methylated vitamins. These are vitamins that are already broken down as opposed to the vitamins that you guys had before. Like just basic, off the shelf vitamins.
Yeah, and some of my friends, like one of my best friends who I've known for, like, ever, they take the vitamins and we went on vacation with them and they all forgot their vitamins.
And we had like a whole thing.
Of vitamins and we just like pass it all out to them.
And did they like them? Did they?
Yeah.
Yeah. See because it's amazing what happens when we put things into our bodies, like vitamins and minerals and nutrients, and then all of a sudden we feel better and our mood improves, and her tummy doesn't hurt as so much, and we don't feel those sensations of fear. Right. Which is what anxiety is, and we don't get so worked up. Do you think that it's actually helped.
You guys sleep a little? Like, I'm not, like, a deep sleeper, but I sleep really good still.
I think it helps me. Like, one night I forgot to take my vitamins that night, and I couldn't fall asleep.
Because your mind was awake?
Yeah, my mind was just, like, everywhere, thinking of so much things like tests and all that stuff, and I couldn't, like, shut my brain down.
That's so much more common than you think. And most adults have that, too. They go to bed tired, but they can't go to sleep because their mind is awake. And they start thinking about all the things that they missed during the day, and they start thinking about what they got to do tomorrow. So what advice would you give the kids your age? By the way, how old are each of you? No, I'm. I'm senile. I'm like Joe Biden. I forgot. How old are you?
Oh, my God. I'm seven.
You're seven?
Yeah. Nine.
Remember that? Nine.
Wow. Maybe somebody's just tuning into the podcast. Calm down. If you guys are hard talent to work with, I will have a word with your agent.
We don't have an agent.
You have a mom. That's your agent.
Wait, that is.
Yeah. She's your agent, your publicist, your attorney.
Oh, yeah. I mean, like, she does make a breakfast for me.
My life.
My dinner for me. She does do our lunch. I mean, our laundry and all that.
Yeah. You guys have a whole staff of one person, so congratulations. But what advice would you give to kids your age, 7 and 9? What would you say if they're like, I just love Doritos and Cheetos and I love goldfish and I like pizza, and I. That's what I want to eat. What would you say to them? How do they change their habits?
Well, if they change their habits, they would be much more healthier. So if they said that to me, I'd be like, that's all bad stuff. So you guys should change your habits. So maybe eat some, like, cucumbers or tomatoes or fruit and first eat the healthy stuff first, and then eat. Get your dessert.
That's good advice.
I think that my advice would Be try to, like, stop eating all of that stuff and look for things like. So there's like, Fruit Loops. No, not Fruit Loops. Fruit Roof Roll Ups. Yeah. And we weren't allowed to have those until we saw Annie's Fruit Roll Ups. And they. We were allowed to have it. And we've been having them now because they're more healthier. They taste basically like the same thing.
Right.
And.
But what are the benefits of. Because it's hard when somebody really likes those kind of foods, to just stop eating them because they're going to be healthier? What are some of the benefits you guys have found from eating healthy foods? And what could you say to your friends that, like, hey, if you stop eating that stuff and starting eating healthy foods, here's what's gonna happen.
Well, I would say, like, you should, like. Like, you should, like, get better and.
Have, like, not so mad.
Yeah.
Tummy doesn't hurt.
Yeah.
Maybe sleep better. Not feel so fearful, so anxious. Because I think that, you know, the message I want to get out to the. The moms and the dads and the kids out there is, you know, some of these behaviors that you have, some of these feelings that you have. I have anxiety. I have anxiousness. I'm scared of going to school. I'm up all night thinking about things. We call it ruminating on things. My tummy hurts for no reason, or sometimes it hurts after meals. Maybe all that stuff can be a part of their past, because I used to hear you guys complain about that all the time, and you don't complain about it at all. You guys are never talking to me about your tummies. You never. You. I've never seen you have a temper tantrum. I just found out you can throw the Chinese New Year. I don't like that one very much. But. But Right. So you actually feel better. So actually, on the other side, there's big benefits, right?
Yeah.
So, like, when you get to, like, when you're, like, getting all those better benefits, it just makes you feel like you have, like, a much more happier life and it'll prevent your future to, like, maybe be better. And, like, you'll.
You'll.
You'll, like, you, like, like when you are eating all that stuff, like how we used to eat some of that stuff, I would always. My stomach would always hurt, and I would be like, I didn't eat anything bad today.
Which you thought was bad, right?
Which I thought wasn't bad, but now I realize that it's bad because of all the folic acid and all that stuff that's in it, it's preventing my brain to not, like, feel well, and then it, like, makes my stomach not feel well, and then I don't feel well, and then I get sick, and then it's just, like. It doesn't turn out to be a good day when you think you're doesn't.
Turn out to be a good day.
When you think you're having a good day. Eating all the stuff. The junk food.
Yeah.
Eating the Doritos, and you're like, oh, my gosh, this is the best day ever.
Really?
It's going to turn into the worst day ever, and you're going to have a stomach ache. You're not gonna feel good. And all you're. You're gonna want to do. This is for the boys out there. All you're gonna want to do is lay in your bed and play video games on an iPhone or a tablet. Please don't do that at home. That's gonna.
That's bad for your brain.
Bad for your brain.
You should, like.
I would. I would actually agree with that.
Going back to the boy part, when Anya said you shouldn't, like, watch all of that bad stuff on, like, YouTube or all that stuff, but, like, if you work hour, go swim in the pool, jump in the pool, and, like, all that stuff.
Yeah, yeah. When you're exercising and running around the yard, your dad's chasing you around the yard, you guys have a trampoline, you got a pool, you got a Jacuzzi, you got a crazy little slide thing that you ride the car down. You guys are outside all the time. I love it. And that's how. That's how I grew up, too. So every time I finish a podcast, I ask all my podcast guests the same question. Okay. And there's no right or wrong answer to this question, but what does it mean to you guys to be an ultimate human?
It means a lot because I see it as for me feeling a lot more better than some people in the world who are. Who maybe have, like, adults. Like, they could be going to the hospitals and stuff because of them smoking, and I could look on the bright side and be like, I'm happy to be an ultimate human because I know the stuff that I'm allowed to have and that will prevent me from not having to go to hospitals and doing all that stuff.
So true. So true. Prevention is the key.
Well, if I'm really happy that I'm have you and your wife, Sage, which is my aunt, I'm happy that you guys made this. Because if you guys didn't make this, me and Anya would still have all that tender, tame terms and anxiety and all the bad stuff that people had. So I'm really happy that you guys made this. And I'm really happy, guys, so much.
I think you guys have been my favorite guest. Is there anything else you want to say before we sign off and say that?
I have a question.
Okay.
All of the people out there who eat hot lunch in. Well, if you go to Lake park elementary, which is me and Anya's school, all the people who eat hot lunch, it has bad stuff in it. Like, all of the bread has bad full glass in it. All of the stuff in there is.
Bad macaroni and cheese and stuff like that. Maybe they could bring their lunches from home, right?
Yeah.
Bringing more homemade lunches to school would be better because watching this, you would know to look at the ingredients and think, does this have folic acid or dye in it? And then you would see, like, I can give my child this and then.
Corn syrup and things like that. Well, I think that's really, really good advice, guys. I think this is going to be one of our most popular podcasts. Thank you guys both for coming on. In my mind, you guys are ultimate humans.
Can I say one more thing?
Yeah, of course.
I would like to share my. I think they call it a methylation because I'm proud to say it.
Yes.
So I got three reds, but. And I got a yellow and a green. But that's all right because I probably got it from my Nona.
Yes.
Yeah. Because she has three reds and a yellow and a green.
That went to your mom. Went to you. Your dad's also got a role in this.
I think my mom only has a yellow and a green and a yellow and a green. I'm pretty sure you never know. I'm proud to say that I have three reds because I think it's a good part about my life because I think that I can try to change my attitude from being like an inside out anger. So color red and try to turn it into a green and try to try to, like, change, like, my mindset from being angry, from kind of having, like a bad, like, methylation, but it's not bad. But I mean, like, from having all of that into something good. Like, I can focus on, like, me, like, speaking and, like, me saying all the stuff that I'm saying and, like, my emotions. It just helps me to remind me because my Aunt Sage explained it to me. I'm sorry.
Aw, you're getting cured off. It's so cute.
Um, she. I'm sorry.
It's okay, Anya.
She.
This is happy tears, by the way. She explained to me that red's a good thing and that.
Thank you.
And that it's a good thing to sometimes have red because you can focus on trying to think better. And it's just sometimes good for your body to remind yourself. Try to think on the bright side that you could be like that. You can try to change it and bring it to a green instead of, like, a red.
Yes.
Or like. Or like, you could change it to a yellow and just help.
And there's so many kids, Anya, I'm really glad that you're. You're speaking your heart, because there's so many kids that felt the way that you did, that don't feel the way you do now. They're still trapped in that feeling of anxiousness and anxiety and not understanding why they're mad and why they're upset.
Can I please say my meditation?
Yes. I love that you guys both know the word methylation. That's like, I've done a good job in this world.
If you're, like, littler, like my age, you'll get, like, green and yellows. Because, like, if you're, like, older, like nine, and let's not call her older.
It just works on like. Like, you don't have to always get it yellow or a green. Like, my whole life, I think I've always had three reds and a yellow and a green. Like, that was just your methylation of your brain.
But the point is, we're not stuck with our genes, right? We can change our lifestyle, which you did. We can change our behavior, which you did. And you can change your diet, which you did. And when that changed, it had no effect on you. It used to run your life, you know, mad, sad, anxious, anxiety, poor sleep, all of those things. So many people listening to this right now. Their kids are going through the same thing, and they feel hopeless. And they're just. But they don't know where to start. And the simple things that you guys did to change your diet and the simple supplements that you take, you don't take any medication. That's the important thing. You don't take medicine. You take vitamins, and you change your diet and you guys feel better, you look better, you sleep better, you behave better, you're calmer, you cry less. Unless you're happy. So it's really happy tears.
Can I say one more thing?
You can say one more thing.
A lot of people who are watching this might, like, not all of them might change their diet, because a lot of people have been changing their diet since you started this company, and a lot of people are getting all the 10x health t shirts and glasses and hats and all that stuff.
Amen. Guys. Thank you both for coming. You are both ultimate humans. Can you come over and give me a hug? Thank you so much. You guys did such a good job. Congratulations. And, guys, that's just science.
