He's calling in all his favors to bring this information to you so you can create your perfect practice.

A thousand dollars? A million dollars? A billion dollars. A trillion dollars. A trillion dollars is, as you hopefully know, is a thousand billion. Imagine how much $3.4 trillion is. That's a lot of money. Yet that's how much money Americans spend on healthcare. Just last year. By comparison, in 1960, the average American spent only $146 a year on healthcare. Now it's well over 10,000 a year per person. Yes, people are investing trillions of dollars trying to stay healthy. As you've heard me say many times before at Genius Network, what I first heard from Christian Cattochini, he who has their health has a million wishes. He who does not has but one. Of course that one wish is for health. Your health is the single most important thing about you. And that's why I've made it one of the three themes for this year. Actually, it's the very first word of our theme. Health, wealth and health. Who better to lead us on this path to health than Sashan Patel? For over 10 years, Sachin was a chiropractor trained in functional medicine. Then last year, Sashan retired his doctor's license for one reason. So he could tell the truth. Because as a doctor, he was legally limited to what he could say and share with those who sought his help. Now Sachin teaches practitioners how to build their perfect practice. Today, Living Proof Institute helps practitioners all over the world implement functional medicine practices that save lives and increase their patients health. This is achieved through self empowerment and decreases the reliance on the medical system. Sachin will share with you that there are many factors involved in making a massive difference in your health and therefore your wealth. Sachin's title is the trillionaire's mindset. 7 Steps to Health from the the Ground up for free. We have a copy of his book back there also for those of you that would like to grab one, please help me welcome Dr. Sachin Patel. Thanks Brandon.

Thank you. That was very warm welcome. I appreciate all of you for being here. This is a great opportunity. Thank you Joe, for allowing me to share my journey through this. And I hope that each and every one of you leaves with tremendous amounts of value. I want to start by asking you a question. How many of you wish for a cure for cancer? Raise your hands. Now let me remind you that the only way to benefit from a cure for cancer is to have cancer in the first place. Let that sink in. Any disease that we're trying to find a cure for, you have to develop first to even benefit from the cure. So how many of you would like to not have cancer in the first place? Yeah. And so we need to teach people how to do that. The word doctor actually means teacher. So it's my obligation to teach my community, to teach my friends, to teach my family, to self empower them. And so that's what I'm going to do today. 23,040 is the number of breaths that you will take today. 103,680 is the number of times your heart will beat today. 70 trillion is the number of cells that your body has. And it's simultaneously coordinating one septillion functions. During this conversation, billions of cells will die and replace themselves silently. Pretty amazing when you think about it. Your cells are the highest known form of intelligence in the entire universe. You are essentially animated earth. And my question to you is, what's animating you? As Joe mentioned, my name is Satchin Patel. My most important role that I play on this planet is to be a father. Because I believe that people are looking for role models, not pill bottles. And if my job is to keep my son and my family healthy, it's a role model for him. Because children do not listen to what we say. They watch and replicate what we do. I also have a beautiful wife. Her name is Deepa and she works alongside with me. It's become our personal mission to raise an amazingly healthy child who can change this amazing planet that we all live on and teach other parents how to do the same. I believe that you are the doctor that of the future, the patient is the doctor of the future. We need to change our healthcare system and change the model so that people aren't delegating their health to their practitioner and instead taking full ownership and responsibility over it. I also believe that your business will never be healthier than you. And this is why I love working with entrepreneurs. Because each and every one of you makes such a big impact on this planet. And if we can keep you healthy, if we can keep you vital, and if we can keep your mind sharp, if we can keep you healthy and be a role model for your team, to be a role model for your family, together we can change the world. So today I'm going to show you really how to take control of these trillions and trillions of cells that you have. I know. I'm going to teach you something new today because the word trillionaire actually shows up as a spell check. There's actually not a word for it. So we're going to teach you something new today. Now, this strategy is so, so simple that it fits on a one sheet piece of paper. So you're going to get that. Write down what you're going to do. Try not to write down everything that I'm going to say because you'll also have a copy of this recording. So let's go through some of the trillionaire principles. I'm going to have you repeat these with me because if we say these out loud, you'll feel them, you'll own them, and my hope is that you'll live them as well. So let's do this together. Well, I'll say it first and you can repeat it. Nothing can fix my body better than it can fix itself.

Nothing can fix my body better than it can fix itself.

And we're seeing this more and more with the emergence of things like stem cell therapy, where basically we're extracting stem cells from your body and injecting them into other sites. And guess what? People are curing diseases that were once considered incurable. There is no system of health care that can save me from myself.

There is no system of health care that can save me from myself.

Very, very important. No system of healthcare can save you from yourself. Now here's a cool one. Health and disease do not occur in isolation because the same blood goes everywhere. Let that one sink in. There's no such thing as developing any disease in isolation. It's physiologically impossible. So you can never just have diabetes, you can never just have Alzheimer's. That's a way of conveniently compartmentalizing people in our health care system for insurance purposes. Has nothing to do with health. Next one. My cells are perfect, are a perfect representation of my mindset, environment and lifestyle. There isn't a single cell in your body that's more than seven years old. Now, let me ask you a question. Does buying you a new car make you a better driver? Probably not. Which means that giving you new cells does not make you healthier. Because if you're sending the cells the same message, and you're putting them in the same environment and you're controlling them with the same limiting beliefs or mindset, they're going to perform the exact same functions. Where I send flow is where I send function.

Where I send flow is where I send function.

If I want to heal somebody's digestive system, where do I have to send blood flow to it, to their digestive system. So if somebody's under stress, and I know that blood does not go to your digestive system when you're stressed out, will they ever heal? Does it matter what supplements I give them? Absolutely not. Okay, so where we send flow is where we send function. Next one. How I'm feeling is how I'm healing is how I'm healing. How many of you feel better when you're on vacation? Maybe not this room. Right? But most people do. When I speak publicly, most people feel amazing when they're on vacation. So I tell them, listen, I know for sure your body's not the problem, because if your body was not the problem, you'd feel just as bad on vacation. If you feel better on vacation, your life is the problem. And that's what we need to change. Okay, I test. I don't guess.

I guess I don't guess.

This is a big challenge. A lot of people are testing or not testing. They're guessing with their health. And we have some amazing, remarkable scientific advancements that have taken place that allow us to stop guessing and actually test right down to the DNA and mitochondria. Next one is my community is my medicine. So let me ask that previous question again. How many of you feel better when you're here? Yeah. Right? So it's not quite a vacation, but you feel better because this is your community. This is your tribe. Many of us don't have a tribe where we live locally, okay? So finding that community is super, super important. People who understand you, people who connect with you, and people who you can bounce your ideas and problems off of. So let's go over the seven principles and practices. I'm sorry. Of being a trillionaire. Really, really simple stuff. Okay? Some of you are probably already doing this unconsciously. I want you to start doing it consciously. Step number one, spend time in nature. As I mentioned, your animated earth, when you get out into nature, some remarkable shifts take place in your brain physiology. Virtually each and every one of us would feel better if we were out in nature. Okay? Going for a walk can make a remarkable difference for you. Bonus points if you're barefoot. Okay. And if you're not if you can't get barefoot because of where you live or because of certain circumstances. Get an earthing mat. Okay? This information is in the handout. Number two is I want you to start thinking about how you can optimize relationships. These could be relationships with loved ones. These could be relationships with your spouse. These could be relationships with co workers. A lot of people that come to us, their relationships are broken, and that's why their health is broken. And there's no pill to fix that. Number three, this is principles for healthy digestion. Choose, choose, chill, cherish, and check. How's that for alliteration? Amazing.

Alliteration.

Amazing. And this concept is discussed in more detail. You've got to choose the right foods. You got to chew them like your life depends on it. Chill the F out, okay? Cherish that meal. Have gratitude. And also check your stool. You should be looking at your stool daily, testing it once a year. Step number four, do what you love. Some of us wake up and we want to pull the covers over our head, okay? I haven't set an alarm, and probably many of you haven't set an alarm for years because you love what you do, okay? And that's what magnetizes you out of bed. Number five, speak your truth. We see more and more people with thyroid issues these days, and a lot of them have a suppressed voice. It's no coincidence that the energy is stagnant in their thyroid and in the throat chakra. Number six, trust your intuition. It's always right. The damn thing is always right. Just like your mom, right? It's always right. So start listening to your intuition so you don't have regret or any. You know, you're not looking back at your life regretfully. And number seven is connect with source. This could be meditation. This could be time in nature. But it's really, really important that we start connecting with our source. It could be God for you. It could be the universe. It could be this probiotic soup. It doesn't matter what you believe in. When we can give away some of the challenges that we face and have a higher energy help us resolve these sources or these issues, amazing things start happening now. We began with some really big numbers. 23,000 all the way up to 1, septillion. I want to remind you of what the most important number is. Number one, okay? We have one life to live, and you have one legacy to leave behind. So make it count. Thank you.
