Unlocking the Power of Sprouts with Sprout King Doug Evans | Digital Social Hour #50
π₯¦ The episode starts with a tongue-in-cheek joke about Wayne getting turned on by cows on the side of the road. But don't worry, that's just the warm-up. Hosts Wayne Lewis and special guest Doug Evans dive deep into the world of sprouts and their incredible health benefits.
π± Doug, also known as the sprout king, shares his journey of living in the desert and discovering the wonders of sprouts. He introduces us to different types of sprouts, from broccoli to alfalfa, and explains how he sources organic seeds to grow them.
πΏ As you listen, you'll be amazed by the taste and texture of these sprouts. Doug even reveals that he uses them as a salad replacement and highlights their high nutritional value, including their anti-cancer properties.
π₯ But it's not just about sprouts. Wayne and Doug delve into various health topics, debunking misconceptions about vegetables, discussing the magical aspects of growing sprouts, and even exploring the effects of sprouts on autism and weight loss.
π¬ Doug backs up his claims with scientific research, sharing insights on the detoxifying properties of broccoli sprouts and the benefits of consuming the whole plant organism. He also touches on the importance of a healthy gut microbiome and how sprouts can contribute to overall well-being.
π± Sprouting is not just a trend; it's a lifestyle. Doug encourages listeners to embrace the power of sprouts and even consider growing their own at home. He passionately explores the potential of sprouts as a game-changer in our approach to food equality and justice.
π‘ But this episode isn't just about sproutsβit's about finding abundance in every decision we make. Doug shares his philosophy of operating from a place of abundance, embracing kindness, self-love, and personal growth.
π So, why wait? Dive into this thought-provoking episode and empower your journey towards optimal health and abundance. Don't miss the chance to learn from the sprout king himself and discover the magic of sprouts.

The test of being hungry.
Will you eat raw cauliflower?
I'm not eating cauliflower.
Then you're not hungry.
When you're hungry, you would eat that.
Everything that you put in your mouth is a life or death decision.
Can you imagine seeing Wayne on the side of the road f β ing off of a cow?
When you see a cow, do you get turned on?
A little bit.
I mean.
welcome to the Digital Social Hour.
I'm your host, Sean Kelly.
I'm here with my co-host, Wayne Lewis.
What up, what up?
And our guest today, Doug Evans.
Yeah, make your move.
Doug, make your move.
The Sprout King.
The Sprout Man.
Yeah, glad to be here, Sean.
Absolutely.
I'm excited to dive into Sprouts, man.
So talk to us about Sprouts.
Yeah, basically, I moved.
I was doing the
triangle, New York, L.A., San Francisco.
And I went to my first Burning Man, and I lived in the desert.
And I said, I could live in the desert if there were hot springs.
And then through a journey, I hallucinated that there were hot springs near Joshua Tree.
And then I went out on a quest, hired well drillers, geologists, realtors, consultants, and I landed and discovered Wonder Valley Hot Springs.
It's near Joshua Tree, between here and Palm Springs.
Okay.
And so I'm there, and I set up my tent, my yurt, and I had a big cooler from LA from Air One.
And after three days, the cooler was
depleting.
And I was wondering, like, what was I going to eat?
And I realized for the first time in my life, not only was I in the desert, I was in a food desert.
And that's when I had this download that I could eat sprouts.
And so, these like little seeds, right?
These are seeds, like the normal seeds that grow vegetables, broccoli, radish, clover.
Where did you get the seeds?
These are organic seeds from the Imperial Valley.
Okay, and so these are relatively local seeds.
And when you take these seeds, this is two tablespoons of seeds, will turn into six cups of broccoli sprouts
in five to six days.
Fully grown.
Yeah, this is fully grown.
Ready to eat.
Ready to eat.
So these are ready to eat.
I can eat these now.
You can eat those right now.
Wow.
And that was.
How does it taste?
It tastes crunchy.
It has a little flavor of broccoli.
Help yourself.
And so for me,
that was.
So you just grab, just like.
Yeah, just grab it, eat it.
You know, now for me, that's a solid replacement.
Okay.
Like, I use that instead of baby lettuce.
It tastes like a little bit of nothing.
Well, it's just water, right?
Yeah, I'll try some.
Well, actually, Sean, this is the most nutrient-dense, potent food on the planet.
Really?
Broccoli sprouts.
So all cruciferous vegetables have anti-cancer properties,
right?
Broccoli has the most.
Broccoli, broccoli, right?
Regular broccoli.
But turns out broccoli sprouts are at the stage where they have 20 to 100 times more of these anti-cancer compounds than mature broccoli.
Whoa.
So these are something that now there's, and you can research this and write everyone's on.
So this isn't a hybrid because I heard broccoli wasn't actually a real vegetable.
It was name it.
That is carnivorous propaganda.
Okay.
So everything that you go in, like all modern day farming has been evolved, has been hybridized, etc so it's a nonsensical comment but people use it because the whole kind of role and I want to keep peaceful but the whole role of the carnivores is to keep you from eating vegetables and all of the long-term studies in every major country every major category says plants are good for you
and so that's actually easy to eat right
well non-organic plants you don't touch it you don't yeah I don't know.
I do organic for sure.
And one of the other magical things about eating sprouts is you grow them without soil, without sunshine, without fertilizer, and without insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides.
Like you get the organic seeds, you add water, you rinse them twice a day, and then you get your own bounty.
Wow.
Right.
And the impact of this, just think about this.
Normal vegetables get harvested from the farm.
They go on a truck.
The truck hopefully is refrigerated.
Right.
So heavy fossil fuel, and you're mostly transporting the water weight within the vegetables.
Then it goes to a distributor, then it goes to the supermarket, then it sits on the shelf, and it could be there anywhere from one to three weeks.
Wow.
This is fresh, and you can eat a fresh harvest every single day.
So my whole life for the last 25 years has been all about fresh because there's a life force in fresh.
And when you're eating a sprout, you're eating the entire plant organism: the root, the shoot, the endosperm, the embryo.
Normal vegetables, they're cutting it
right, they're cutting it above the ground, and they're leaving this complex root structure behind.
So, this, you're eating this.
So, there's now easily 2,000 peer-reviewed, published white papers from the top, top medical journals, top educational institutions on broccoli sprouts being used for their anti-cancer properties, for detoxifying benzene from the lungs.
That if you're exposed to air pollutants, whether it's exhaust, whether it's
benzene from burning chemicals.
So it can remove that from the lungs.
So, what is it?
Okay, so
what does it actually do inside of the body?
And when's the best time to take it?
Like, am I waking up?
Am I taking this first thing?
Is it after a workout?
Is it midnight?
Like, is it midday?
How many times a day am I taking it?
Like, yeah.
So, so, in my world, I like to limit my feeding window.
Okay.
So, you're a faster.
I'm a faster too.
Yeah.
So, I, my feeding window is noon to 6 p.m.
Yeah.
That's my feeding window.
Okay.
So the first thing that I that I do is I drink a lot of water from the time I get up.
Yeah.
Right.
And then
I like fruit also.
Me too.
So most of what you hear about fruit, the sugar in fruit, fructose and glucose, is wildly different than added sugar,
which is a white crystalline powder, you know, from cane.
So the first thing I do is I eat fruit
in the morning.
At noon.
At noon.
At noon.
And then around two o'clock to five or six o'clock, I just start eating sprouts.
And most people think of sprouts, you know, from Asian cuisine, whether it's like mung beans, right, or alfalfa sprouts and the hippie sandwiches.
But the reality is I'm growing alfalfa, azuki, radish, clover, broccoli, chia, flax, fenugreek, all sorts of lentils, all sorts of peas.
And like,
you know, people ask like, where do I get my protein?
My diet is 100%
raw, plant-based.
So I eat fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, seaweeds, and sprouts.
And there's protein in all of it.
Yeah, every single sprout contains every single amino acid
and to form the proteins.
Wow.
Right.
So that's another like myth.
There's all these kind of anti-plant-based dialogues.
Another one that you'll hear is is like, oh, well, the plants have defense mechanisms.
I've heard that one.
And the defense mechanism is to defend against an insect, right?
So when we talk about the poison is in the dose, there's not enough of the plant defense mechanism to have any sort of material impact, but the positive impact of that defense mechanism is a hermetic effect similar to taking an ice bath or doing doing a sauna, that it stresses the body and the body has to work to respond.
The other benefit of the broccoli sprouts relative to creating the stressors is in autism.
So if someone is autistic and they have a fever,
it lessens the symptoms of their autism.
Wow.
So, right?
When broccoli sprouts, because of these defense mechanisms, create heat shock proteins in the brain, which lessen the symptoms of autism.
Wow.
That's crazy.
So there's a whole kind of litany.
If you think about in this country, the three of us
are abnormal
because normalcy in this country is to be overweight or obese.
Right?
Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese.
And sprouts are extremely high in fiber and they are low in calories.
So these are the ultimate food for weight loss.
How much should we be eating a day?
Like, if let's say I want to, because I want to add this to my diet, Sean, you want to add it to your diet?
I will.
So, what would be the recommendation?
And if we can't, if we, if we're not growing it, where do we get it?
Like,
the best place.
So, you can get them in any health food store, any farmer's market.
Whole Foods has them.
Sprouts has them too?
Sprouts.
I think Sprouts is a little weak.
That's ironic, right?
Sprouts.
I've been into sprouts, and I haven't seen sprouts at sprouts.
So I don't want to get that because
I know I've seen those at Walmart.
I know I've seen them at, you know, Albertson's, but I don't want to buy from there.
Okay, so, so I think the thing is, you buy your seeds, you buy seeds, you get a jar with a stainless steel lid on, and then you grow them on your own.
This is just a simple setup.
It's a dish rack I got off of.
Oh, you actually grow it in this.
Yeah, yeah, this is it.
He pours water in it and then rinses it twice a day.
So these seeds don't require water.
You have to sit them in water.
No, no, you have to add water.
So, the process is you add water, enough water to fully submerge them.
And in the process of adding the water and letting them soak for eight hours, you are removing the enzyme inhibitors, the trypsins, the phytic acids, and lowering the level of lectins.
And you're triggering this seed, which is a plant organism in a dormant state.
You're triggering it to explode into life, to germinate, to sprout.
And then every day, this bad boy increases in size 50 to 100% every day.
And then, so if I plant it Monday, by Friday, I'm ready to eat 100%.
Wow.
And what type of water do you use to grow alkaline?
I have a water desalination system, so a large-scale reverse osmosis system.
So I'm taking my mineral spring water and I'm removing the minerals.
And then that's what I'm using to grow.
But I would say
filtered water is good, spring water is good, distilled water is good.
You can buy a gallon of distilled water for a dollar, and you use that water to clean your fruit as well.
Yeah, I actually, I like to buy my fruit from the farmer's market, I like to get organic, and you know, I don't want any haters here.
Do whatever you want.
I don't wash my fruit.
Whoa,
I'm getting
pesticides on it.
I'm getting organic fruit with no pesticides.
Gotcha.
And basically, you know, I don't live in this Purel world, you know, where I want to sanitize everything.
I'm more concerned, you know, with not having bacteria
than being
having too much bacteria.
Because there's people that record videos of the stuff that comes out of this fruit.
It's pretty nasty.
Oh, yeah, I saw that thing.
That's conventional produce, right, that's genetically modified that's sprayed with Roundup, which contains glyphosate.
Wait, Roundup, the stuff that I use from Home Depot?
Yeah, that's glyphosate.
That is can't.
Wait, wait, hold on.
I got to bite my tongue because I don't want to be in a libelous, slanderous situation.
But do your own research.
Go to ChatGPT.
Go to Google and research glyphosate and Roundup.
lovely products from Monsanto, owned by Bayer.
I saw that lawsuit already.
I'm familiar with that one.
Yeah.
So for me,
if you're getting it from an organic farm, like we want the soil, like, you know, one of the other things they talk about is, well, where do you get your B12?
Right.
So in this stage, I take a B12 sublingual supplement.
Okay.
Right.
But they say if you're eating meat, right, people think they're getting their B12 and the meat.
but do you know where the B12 and the meat is coming from?
The soil, right?
No,
they're giving the supplements to the cows and the feed because there's no naturally occurring B12 microorganisms in
the
corn and in the soy that they're feeding
Wow, so they're giving them supplements?
Yeah, the largest consuming source of B12 are for cow lots.
What?
That's crazy.
So
this isn't conspiracy stuff.
This is just real.
So my world is like, I want to be in tune with what I'm eating.
And like I discovered sprouting, like sprouting's been around since the beginning of time.
Like there's history
of alfalfa sprouts being grown in Persia 5,000 years ago.
They have seeds that they've discovered 1,200 years old that still germinate and sprout.
What?
So it's really powerful that the seeds are a living organism.
They contain a life force.
And the fact that we can grow these, this is like a cheat code.
Yeah, but how much of it should we be taking a day?
Like, how much, I want to add this to my diet.
So how much should we eat a day?
I would say you can eat as much as you want.
So for me, like, I'm eating the broccoli sprouts.
I'm eating, you know, probably four to eight ounces of broccoli sprouts.
And how much is that?
I mean,
that's about
this much.
And how many calories per day is up?
This is a diminutive amount of calories.
This whole thing is maybe 100 calories.
Okay.
So, but a handful, a cup of, say, sprouted chickpeas,
that's like 250 calories, but 20 grams of protein.
So the chickpeas, the lentils, the mung beans, those are very calorically dense
and they're fibrous and they have the living force in them.
So they have the enzymes and they have soluble, insoluble fiber.
They have micronutrients, phytonutrients, prebiotics, every single amino acid to form the proteins.
And the color are the antioxidants.
So if you look at like a red radish sprout, that red is anthocyanidin, which is one type of antioxidant.
The green is chlorophyll, another type of antioxidant.
So this is very powerful medicine.
So my download, and when I wrote the book, the sprout book is based on three principles.
Number one, sprouts are food.
Most people think of them as a garnish.
I do.
I did.
I don't even, when a restaurant bring my plate, I'd never touch it.
Yeah.
Well,
it's just now you have to.
You are.
Superpowers right there.
You treated cancer.
You are forever changed now.
So, number one, sprouts were food.
Number two, sprouts were vitamins and minerals.
And number three, sprouts were medicine.
And that's like the exciting part for me to know that these are powerful.
plants that you can grow on your own.
So the first thing we talked about, Wayne, when I came in about food security, food equality.
Like during the pandemic, people were worried about toilet paper.
They were running out of macaroni and cheese.
You couldn't get your cases, you know, of Coca-Cola,
right?
But for me, I'm sitting pretty buying my sprouts, buying my sprouting seeds, you know, in large bags and buckets.
You were chilling.
And I had an abundance.
And that was the level that when you, if you think about it, right,
there are no
animals living in nature that are overweight.
Like animals manage, even when there's an abundance of food, right?
You could see a lion.
It could be, you know, with a whole herd, you know, in the of gazelles, and it could go pick off every one.
It takes one, it eats it, and then it rests.
So if we think about our human dynamics, and and this was written about by Doug Lyle and Alan Goldhammer in the pleasure trap, but if you think about it, humans want to preserve their energy, right?
So naturally lazy, present company excluded, because you guys take massive initiative, right?
But preserve energy.
The next one is spread your seed, right?
Like pass on the genes, which is why there's intense pleasure derived through sexual activity, right?
Because you want to procreate.
And then the third is you need nourishment and nutrients in order to survive.
And what happens is for most of human life and life on the planet,
there was scarcity of food.
There just was not enough food.
So people were chucking and jiving and fighting and
gathering and food and some hunting in order to get enough calories.
Now, in the Instacart culture, in the fast food culture, people can sit and do nothing and get far too many calories.
And then there's, you know, 500 guys sitting, 500 food scientists sitting in labs in New Jersey using artificial flavors, colors, salt, oil, sugar to trick the brain into overeating.
Wow.
Danny, you had to attack my home state like that?
Yeah.
It's just the way it is.
I mean, mean, there's the food scientists all over, but New Jersey, you know, has a lot.
You could smell it as you drive through.
Yeah.
But basically,
my food, my life is I add no added salt, no added sweetener, right?
And no
added oil.
Really?
So no olive oil?
No.
Fish oil?
No.
No.
He just pulls it from, he goes to the grocery store, he grabs it, and he just bites it.
Yeah.
I mean, if I want fat, right, which we need fats, yeah i'll eat an avocado okay i'll eat nuts that's good i'll eat sprouts i'll eat olives but if you think about all
olive oil
to me it's devoid of the fiber
right so you're basically taking 10 olives to make one tablespoon of pure fat
right and fat creates insulin resistance it clogs the arteries there's all these complications and we don't need more fat.
So, and back to the animal in nature.
Animals in nature eat when they're hungry, they don't overeat,
and you know, they're fighting to get enough calories.
And so, what I realized is when I simplified my diet towards natural foods that were unseasoned, like the test, the test of being hungry for me is,
will you eat raw cauliflower?
I'm not eating cauliflower.
Then you're not hungry.
When you're hungry, you would eat that.
Okay.
You're not hungry.
You're not really hungry.
You may have a craving.
Right.
But we shouldn't confuse cravings with hunger.
Okay.
So the difference is when you're craving something, it could be out of boredom or addiction.
Yeah, your microbiome, you have five pounds of yeast, fungus, mold, parasites, microorganisms in your gut.
Five pounds in your gut.
And they control your brain.
If you watch Super Size Me, the Morgan Spurlock movie, under the lens of what I'm saying here is in the beginning, when he would supersize the McDonald's,
he would get nauseous.
By the end of the 30 days, he was craving it because they took over his microbiome, took over his brain and made him eat it.
Like those two guys are very dangerous named Ben and Jerry's
because the ice cream is a perfect engineered
concoction
of fat,
sugar, salt.
I love ice cream, but I can't eat anymore.
It's mucus.
No, it's mucus in my body.
I mean, it's.
I switch it acai now.
I do acai.
Yeah.
Well,
much better better with acai than eating the cow pus that's that's eaten.
Yeah, I can't do ice cream at all.
Well, 60%
of
humans, Americans, are lactose intolerants.
But realistically,
I mean, can you imagine seeing Wayne on the side of the road
off of a cow?
No, right?
When you see a cow, do you get turned on?
A little bit.
I mean, can you move over?
I mean, so
the appealing for dairy, like
cow milk is designed for baby calf.
Yeah.
Baby calf to turn into 2,000 pounds.
Like that's what it's designed for.
The entire hormonal structure.
Like
breast milk, like is so, like, if you think about the connection.
between a baby and a mother that when the baby's lips touch the
formula of the milk that a human mother is producing for the child will change based on what the baby needs, based on the time of day.
Wow.
So that's where, like,
we're in a society right now where
over 30% of births are scheduled cesarean births.
Like they want to get the baby out and they'll cut it open, they'll pull it out.
That way, the doctor can go home on time at five o'clock still eat its dinner, right?
Natural birth, you know,
could be in labor for 24, 40 hours, right?
And, you know, so everything is a push towards using drugs, epidurals, using cesarean.
And then, you know, I want to get back to leveraging appropriate technology, but then also being as natural as possible.
So if you think about in my philosophy, everything that you put in your mouth is a life or death decision.
Yeah.
Right?
You just, it's very clear.
And the poison is in the dose.
So some of it's not going to kill you right away, but over time,
you know, it will degrade the quality of your life.
And so
if you're eating things that are like we have to, like, there's no way when, when, when you ate the broccoli sprouts,
they're easy, but you're not going to get off on them.
You got to find other things to get off on other than food.
Yeah, but most health, like stuff like that is the taste is what gets you.
That was easy to eat.
You don't taste it anymore.
It's almost like I never had it.
So I actually, that's what I said, like, I'll add that because it doesn't, it's not overwhelming.
You know what I'm saying?
That's great.
And most things that are healthy for you are usually like, you don't want to, you know, you're resistant to, you want to cook it or add seasoning to it or, you know.
Well, there's, there's almost some like machismo bravado about smoking, about drinking, about drugs.
Yeah, I don't do nothing.
Yeah.
Well, it's, it doesn't serve you.
It's counterproductive.
Yeah.
So I'll take a breath and I'll answer some questions.
One of the things I really like about your philosophy is there's a lot of people that say you need money to eat healthy, but you basically prove them wrong.
This is very cost-effective.
This is literally
under a dollar a serving.
Yeah, that's insane.
Yeah, it is.
So that's it.
And when I think about food equality, food justice, this is what's important.
And if we roll back the clock in the 30s and in the 40s in America,
40, 50% of people had their own gardens.
During World War II, there were victory gardens.
And now no one is growing anything.
The soil doesn't allow us to, though, in most places.
But this is where, this is the ultimate urban farming.
Like, I can't tell you, there's now tens of thousands of people living in vans, living in RVs, that are growing their own sprouts.
They've got a garden, countertop garden in their RV.
Wow.
Yeah, this is a game changer because you could grow it anywhere.
You just need a jar and water.
A jar and water.
And what, what are the, like, how long does it take of when you start taking it to feel some of the effects or like feel it, feeling different about yourself?
And like, what should a person change about their diet too once adding that?
Because I'm, I'm a pescatarian.
I do eat chicken every now and then.
I don't eat red meat though.
But, you know, like, if I start taking that today, when will I start feeling some of the effects from it?
Like, I mean, I think that
immediately.
Oh, immediately?
Immediately.
Like, you're starting to eat things that are high-vibrational food.
Like eating a chicken, which eats shit and scraps.
You know, like, chickens will eat their own shit.
Like,
so, like, like, as much as you can replace chicken shit with, you know, healthy food,
the better you're going to feel.
Okay, I got you.
So, what about Sean?
He's, he's steak.
He's got me second guessing my diet right now, but I'm a believer in vibrational energies.
So does that meat, like dark meat, have low vibration in it?
Yeah.
I mean, basically, you know,
this isn't a political podcast.
And I just want to think about it.
That
if you,
there's no humane way of slaughter.
Like the cow.
wants to live.
Right.
Right.
And they take the cow and they kill the cow.
Right.
That's true.
And when
the, the, you know what the revenge of the cow is?
No.
Heart disease.
Heart disease is the silent killer.
Right.
And the amount of meat that is being consumed, you know, in the country today
and in the world is destroying the world.
Like it takes 20, it takes 1,500 gallons of water to prepare one pound of beef.
Whoa.
1,500 gallons.
Because you have to grow all that grain, grow all the plants, feed the cow every single day, you know, until
it's slaughtered.
Wow.
Right.
And you can grow one pound of sprouts with one gallon of water.
See, another doctor told us that eating somewhat bloody meat because it's alive.
It's what's good for
digestion.
It helps it more rare.
So, yeah, I mean,
you know,
this idea of what I could tell you is when I started to eat plants, because I used to eat everything.
I could still tell you my McDonald's order, right?
Two alt beef patties, special sauce, ledge, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
But I'd have my Big Mac.
I'd have a quarter pounder with cheese.
I'd have a nine-piece chicken McNugget.
I'd have a vanilla shake, a hot fudge sundae.
And then if I really,
if I had really extra room, I'd have the apple pie.
Damn, you got an appetite in my guy.
I mean, I like to eat, but, but also because it's triggering
in your brain to overeat more, I couldn't stop.
And with sprouts, I could tell you, I don't, as much as like, I'm an overeater.
My brother said, if I wasn't
eating raw plants, I'd weigh 500 pounds.
How many pounds did you lose when you started going sprout route?
I lost 38 pounds.
Wow.
And then...
But you cut out everything now, right?
You just.
Oh, yeah, I eat clean now.
I eat fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, seaweeds, and sprouts.
And have you taken a blood test to see if you have deficiencies?
My blood and my body.
I'm 57, right?
I can bang out.
How many push-ups you bang out there, Wayne?
I'm not sure, but I can bang out some.
25, 30?
Yeah, we're on there.
Yeah, like I do it effortless.
Wow.
Effortless.
That's impressive.
I won't even lose my breath.
And, you know, I run 5K, 10K, 15K while I'm on the phone, like I'm hustling.
Like, I'm like just moving.
And I was never like that before.
Like, I was just, you know, behind the desk eating.
But when my aunt in 1998 got diabetes, type 2 diabetes,
they amputated both of her feet.
Oh, my God.
And then a year later, she died of complications of heart disease and diabetes.
Oh, my God.
And you're 100% healthy right now, no anything at 56.
57.
Yeah.
You don't even look 57.
Yeah, you don't.
I don't feel.
I don't.
I mean, you don't even have gray hairs.
No, and I don't dye my hair either.
Yeah, so that shows, that's that's showing proof that it's the food.
Wow.
Yeah.
And you take no supplements or no?
No.
No, only B12.
Wow.
Only B12.
It's impressive.
Yeah.
And it's just simple.
And like, what I'm, you know, what my message really is, is that
sprouts are this hidden gem.
And in
Japan,
do you know how many packs of broccoli sprouts are sold every day?
How much?
400,000.
So you should move out there and just.
And they have the longest lifespan there, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So you can buy broccoli sprouts like in 7-Eleven.
in Japan.
Wow.
They have 20,000 retailers that sell broccoli sprouts.
And Japan is a small country.
Why don't you start your own brand?
Package it up.
I mean, right now, my mission is to share the message
of sprouting and communicate
with people.
And I'm hallucinating what products would be to create a experience.
Around this, I love product design.
And, you know, today there's no national sprout companies.
Yeah, I think you should because I don't, again, I just want to ask, where do you get it?
It'd be the face of the company for sure.
You literally would be the face of the company, and I think it would probably do good, especially with this message.
Yeah, I mean, I love the encouragement,
you know, and I'll take that into consideration.
You should.
No, I'm for real, like, find something today.
Yeah, you have a message behind it, and it, I mean, you're showing proof of it.
I mean, you're 57 years old.
You don't look a day over, what, 45?
Yeah, you don't, gray hair is none.
I mean, yeah, and
when people start younger, do you know Mike Posner?
Yeah, so Mike started the sprout diet.
Mike went raw vegan about five months ago, and he's like just off the charts now.
Just like shredded, you know, ran up Mount Everest, climbed Mount Everest, walked across the country, is now doing the Wim Hoff breath work.
Yeah.
And he's eating eight.
See, he in his.
Did this help with the lungs again?
Can you explain that?
When you are exposed to toxins.
Which we all are.
Right.
Okay.
Right.
So exhaust, like I went into
my car dealership and they got the Prop 65 thing in California because exhaust has benzene in it and you breathe that in.
The broccoli sprouts can detoxify
those chemicals from the lungs.
Wow.
What about with people who have post, what is it?
Post
post-COVID.
I know someone
who, yeah, so suffering.
I don't use the C word, okay.
Well,
the cancel word is the C word,
yeah,
yeah.
So, so basically, does it help with that?
I believe it does, okay.
And I also, like, if you think about it,
the people who were eating like this,
right,
were at virtually very, very little risk of getting
of getting it at all.
And then when they got it, they breathed through it.
Yeah.
So you want to have like a healthy immune system.
You want to be vibrant.
You know, if you think about
all nutrition to be assimilated in the body has to be converted into liquid.
Right.
So when you're consuming things that are water-based and you chew them well and you masticate them, they go into the stomach, into the small intestine, then into the colon, and you're basically just extracting the nutrients.
When you put a piece of fish in your stomach,
right?
What would happen if you left a piece of fish out on your counter for 24 hours?
It would spoil.
It would spoil.
You'd see maggots coming out of it.
Yeah.
Right?
Maggots, parasites coming out of it.
How long do you think it takes for the fish to pass through
the tunnel from your mouth through your sphincter?
I know it takes about 24 to 48 hours.
meat steak is seven days what fish is about a day and a half wow yeah yeah so you have seven days you have this decaying stuff going on in your body right which creates inflammation creates inflammation and inflammation and you know like your podcast and you're getting your message out just have people look at the side effects of like lipitor and statins.
Like you almost can't, like if you're a man over 40, they're recommending, like, you must be on a statin.
You must be on lipitour, right?
Which is a cholesterol-lowering drug.
I'm going to ask you a question.
What fruit, vegetable, seed, or nut has the most cholesterol?
I don't know.
I would say my guess would be all of them.
Yeah, what's the answer?
Wait, none of them.
None of them.
None of them.
Yeah.
No, I say, wait, wait.
He said seed, vegetable,
yeah, no, none of them.
So plants have no cholesterol.
None of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the body does not need
LDL cholesterol.
The body manufactures HDL cholesterol, which you need.
Right.
And you can get your omega-3
fatty acids from plants and from sea algae.
And everything is just like, did you ever, did, did you ever take like a
fish oil supplement?
I do.
I take omega-3 daily.
You?
Yeah.
I take it daily.
Yeah, why?
Have you ever smelled that?
Yeah, it smells nasty.
Yeah, you know why?
It's rancid.
It's what?
Rancid.
It's gone bad.
So we're eating bad vitamins.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And do you know where the, do you know where the,
I don't want to like burst your bubbles, but do you know where the fish
get the omega-3s from?
The water, right?
No.
Where they get it from, the algae?
They get it from the algae.
Right.
So if you're going to take a supplement, go right for the source.
But what do you think of the algae?
What about sea moss?
Because I take sea moss.
What do you think about that?
I think sea moss is great.
So does it have omega-3?
It really depends on the variety.
Okay.
But it's
sea moss is less of an algae and it's more of a sea vegetable.
There are others like Nori has high EPA and DHA.
So you have to go into I'm not a CMOS king.
I'm not a CMOS king.
Stop taking omega-3 supplements and take algae.
Or if you're going to take a supplement, get one that's algae-based.
But which, which I've never even heard of that.
So where, what, what?
I mean, what supplement?
Just message me.
I'll send you a link.
I'm not big on the supplement parts because Chia and Flax have ALA.
And if you're taking enough omega-3
fatty acids, ALA,
and from Chia and Flax, and you're having Nori, my omega-3 levels are perfect.
Love it.
Okay.
Dog, it's been a blast.
Any closing comments?
Any advice?
Yeah,
I feel like I was a little aggressive.
No.
You were?
And I just want to say, like, I accept you guys, you eating your chicken, you eating your steak.
It's not a war.
I don't want you guys guys to change no i don't like i'm i'm passionate about health for sure i'm passionate about health i like it and i want to tell the truth yeah right as i know it as i've experienced it and you're just concerned yeah and look i have a child
and you know you look at the planet and you know where where there's so much destruction going on that like i want to just alert people that they can have you know a different experience with the life.
And the other thing I just want to say is, you know, you can be into two worlds.
You can be in scarcity or you can be in abundance.
And you're already living in abundance.
I mean, you guys are young, successful guys, right?
You're living in abundance.
Imagine making every decision.
from the place of abundance.
Right.
And so when I look at what I'm going to eat, like abundance of sprouts, right?
Where do I want to go?
You know, like I can do anything.
And so if you operate from the perspective of abundance, you can be kinder, you can be more gentle.
And most
important, just love yourself a little bit more.
Give yourself a break.
Love it.
Wayne,

He's coming for you.
All right, guys, digital social hour.
See you guys next time.
Peace.
