Are You Feeling Stressed?

The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network. Looking forward to today's interview with Dr. Paul Burnett from TriVita. I've been looking forward to this interview for weeks because it is relevant and we've got some really super news to share with you. If you deal with stress, if you're stressed, if you'd like something to help you become more calm and deal with life better and deal with anxiety and sleep better, this is the show for you.

I don't think I'm going to be taking calls because I've got so much material to cover with Dr. Burnett. I remember interviewing my friend Dr. Mark Stengler during COVID and he was saying that one of the things that opens someone up to be more susceptible to COVID was stress. And he was talking about the effect of stress on the body in terms of medical issues. We often just think in terms of emotional and mental.

There are a whole bunch of things. So we're going to talk today about powerful science-based plant, something that God put in creation that naturally combats stress, anxiousness, and enhances sleep. All right, so I am eager to get into the content. Dr. Burnett, welcome back. Thanks for joining us again on the Line of Fire. Thank you so much for having me.

Thank you to all who are listening. We're going to get into the causes of stress, how stress can become a robber of the quality of your life. And you may not even be aware of that. So Dr. Brown, I'd like to just kind of maybe even go over some causes of stress here in our opener. There's physical stress, right? Maybe you can't sleep. Maybe you're gaining weight or maybe you're aging prematurely.

Maybe you're pregnant, right? That can even be a physical stressor. What about pain?

What about medical conditions? But you know, the causes of stress don't stop, right? With just physical, they go into emotional and spiritual, and even into our social life. So you know, some of those emotional things like fear and worry, uncertainty, feeling overwhelmed, lonely, negativity, those spiritual things, you know, so many people in the body of Christ are still dealing with condemnation and guilt, unforgiveness.

And man, the big one that I see a lot, because I'm also a pastor, is I see a lot of people thinking, God's mad at me. And that can affect our social life so much, you know, because listen, who's not going through change? But that could become a social stress. What about isolation or, you know, family issues, economy?

What about our job? What about world events and so many other stressors? And I'll tell you, the one thing I know about stress is that if anything is causing me my peace, it's time to demand a refund. We're going to talk about things today that can help you put a demand on the refund of the loss of your peace. All right, so you're talking about stress, and it comes from a bunch of angles, and sometimes just talking to people about it, they get stressed. They get stressed hearing it.

And we don't understand the degree that we're impacted by these things. I remember being in the hospital at COVID because it triggered issues with my heart. And as the doctors were talking about concerns with my heart, our daughter, Megan, was there with me because my wife, Nancy, had COVID. She couldn't be there with me in the hospital that day, but she noticed as they talked in my presence about concerns, my heart rate jumped, right? It was just I had that heart monitor on.

It's like, I had no idea that was happening. But things were actually going on physiologically. Now, is all stress bad? Is there good stress, bad stress?

How does this work on the body? Well, when we have an attitude about life, that life is challenging, but I can do this, you can really experience good stress. Good stress would challenge us to go into the world with great attentiveness and performance to live with greater purpose. So if I don't have any meaning in my life, if life is just happening to me, then it's just like, man, I'm almost victimized in this. And that can really get into harmful stress because stress has become chronic.

Meaning, man, I tell you, these lions are getting bigger, their teeth are getting longer, their claws are getting sharper, and on and on this thing goes. We've got to realize that our bodies and our minds don't really know the difference between what we're telling it and what's really happening. So, you know, stress that becomes chronic, it can trigger anxiety, feelings of being overwhelmed. And when stress triggers what I call distress on the body, it can also trigger that stress in our mind.

So we can have those physical things that happen inside of our bodies. All of a sudden you're talking about, man, my heart rate variability changed when I started to think about, oh my goodness, I'm going through this and I don't know what I'm going to do or what the outcome is going to be. But I'm telling you, if you can have that attitude that life is challenging but I can do this, it wouldn't matter what you face, you can live with good stress.

And that's going to build something called resilience, and resilience is going to build our creative ability. But man alive, when that harmful stress becomes physical distress on our minds and our bodies, it is a robber of the quality of our lives. And as far as just getting beyond anecdotes and knowing how many people are stressed and under pressure and life never stops, always connected, always something wrong, always happening, what do statistics say? What do surveys say about the state of mind of Americans today?

Great question, Dr. Brown. A survey taken by the Harris Poll found that 87% of people are stressed. This represents an increase of 40% over the previous year. So what I want everybody to hear is that you're not alone. If you're in stress, you're not alone. But what I also want you to realize is that stress, again, can become physical and mental distress on our bodies. And I want to get into the science here because according to the American Psychological Association, stress is a major factor that is negatively affecting our health. In fact, this study showed that they estimate 77% of people experience physical symptoms associated with stress. And 73% experience psychological symptoms due to stress. What's the underlying cause here? It is stress.

All right. So the stats are high. And a lot of people, again, we know the loneliness, we know depression, suicide, all these things are up. And then when you talk about stress, people get more stressed in the process of that. So there are practical things that we can do. You know, as best we can, we renew our mind as believers, we meditate on God's truth, we pull away from things, we disconnect. These are all practical things we can do.

But Dr. Manette, God so burdened me about helping God's people get healthy. So it's spiritually, it's mentally, emotionally, it's physically. When we're dealing with stress, now this is multifaceted.

It touches on all those areas, as you already said in the broadcast. There are things that have been developed. And this is why we're doing this interview today because of a brand new release, scientifically things God's put in the earth that are made to help us deal with stress.

So explain this part of it. Yes, there are the things we can do, meditation, prayer, renewing our mind to the Word of God, you know, different things that de-stress us. But then there are other things that we can put inside of us that help.

Right, and so I can guarantee you this, from Genesis to Revelation, you're going to see that life is not without difficulty. And I also want the listeners to know that God understood that, and He gave us every herb-bearing seed as food for us. And so when we're in stress, Triveda has come out with a wonderful new product. It's called KSM 66. This is a very specific form of ashwagandha. And I'll tell you, there's a lot of companies out there fairy dusting with, oh, we've got ashwagandha, but it does not have the science behind it.

KSM 66 does. And so this is a specific form of ashwagandha. It's an herb, but it goes through a very special extraction process.

You see, KSM 66 ashwagandha is extracted, rather, using a unique and proprietary farm-to-market process that uses only the young roots of the ashwagandha plant. It's also curated in a CGMP facility, which is regulated by the FDA. Because of this, it retains the full spectrum of bioactive compounds, and also has 600 milligrams. And you think, well, why is 600 milligrams important?

Well, 600 milligrams in a two-capsule dose, by the way, you're not taking five or six of these to get to this dose. This is what all the human studies have shown, that it has all these amazing benefits. So KSM 66 has been evaluated in 24 gold standard clinical trials.

It collaborates with major academic and research institutes. All of the clinical studies follow gold standards of substantiation, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled designs, much like you find at Harvard or Cleveland Clinic and many of these other places. And so, when you're looking at an ashwagandha plant, again, an herb-bearing seed that God has given to us to help us in times of stress, Trivedis KSM 66 is the product that you're going to want to go with.

Let's get the value for the money that we're going to spend for the things that we're going to put in our bodies. Couple things I want to just throw out there, the studies have shown a 72% reduction in general health anxiety and depression with Trivedis KSM 66. It's also an anti-stress adaptogen that lowers cortisol levels and perceives stress by up to 44%. These percentages are significant when you're talking about efficacy. Yeah, and for everyone listening that doesn't understand the medical science, so as soon as this came out, this was just released.

That's why I've been looking forward to this interview. So immediately, before anybody else was getting it, the general public, as soon as it was out, Trivedis sent me the ashwagandha KSM 66 to start using. And what's really neat is I'm very much upbeat anyway, I'm very positive, but I often struggle with sleep sometimes just to be in my mind being so active and stuff like that and being so wired. But I have actually seen a benefit.

It's just been like two weeks I guess, but I started seeing it fairly quickly in terms of sleeping better and I just thought I feel even more positive than usual. So listen, Nancy and I have just written a digital mini book, an e-book, and we're coupling it together absolutely free with a special offer from Trivedis. So yeah, this is our health day, you absolutely are blatant, open, we want to help you be healthy, and that's why we're introducing you to this hot off the press, literally, new product. Check out this informative ad, and then I want to come back, tell you about the mini book, and free and what you can get, so stay right here. Dr. Michael Brown, get on the line of fire by calling 866-34-TRUTH.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. You know why I'm so psyched about all this? Number one, when something you experience is good, you share it with someone.

You've got to hear this song, you've got to see this move, or you've got to go to this restaurant. You want to share it. So I've been doing this where I travel, I've been giving people samples, hey, use this for a month and tell me how it works because I'm so excited to get this into people's hands. And then secondly, Triveda, with their extreme generosity, is donating 100% of your first order to the line of fire to help us reach more people.

Think of that. And on top of it, when you place this order, you get one bottle free, right? So go ahead and do it. I would encourage you to get multiple bottles, so for yourself, your spouse, another loved one.

And then you get two months' supply, right? And worst case scenario is you made a donation to the ministry, but I think you are really going to find this helpful. And then Nancy and I spent a good amount of hours writing this mini book, and A Healthy Church Starts with a Healthy You, about our own health journey, Transform Life, Transform Diet, practical instruction. And it's a digital book. It's free. It's our gift with this as well.

So we've never been able to offer something at this steep a discount with a free digital e-book on top. It's a short read. It'll really get right to the heart, and it'll encourage you.

This might really be a key in seeing your life change. Okay, let me get back to Dr. Burnett. Okay, so I am enthusiastic.

I was surprised with a supplement of this quality that the price was as low as it was, because I know you often pay double this for supplements. So well done. However you guys did it, well done on the processing. So what about the issue of sleep? I mentioned that that's been the one health challenge I've had as I've been thriving in so many other ways. Just sleeping well.

Why is that so big? Well, you know, when we're stressed, when we are overwhelmed by many of the things we open this show with, we have to understand that our minds are not at rest. And if our minds are not at rest, I want you to know that you're not going to be able to sleep. You're not going to be able to digest very well.

Your immune system is going to not work the way it's supposed to. And here's a health alert for sleep. According to the CDC, almost 22% of the U.S. population has trouble falling asleep most days or every day in the last 30 days.

22% of the population. According to the CDC, almost 18% of the U.S. population has trouble staying asleep most days or every day in the last 30 days. Statistics suggest that stress in America is on the rise, with as much as 63% of the workforce having to consider leaving their jobs to escape work-related stress. And the World Health Organization estimates that 12 billion workdays are lost worldwide due to anxiety and depression. This greatly, greatly, greatly impacts our ability to sleep. And what happens health-wise, what happens to our bodies if we're not sleeping enough, sleeping well?

Well, listen, I always say that when you're asleep, your body gets to do things that it cannot do in a waking state. And so things that could happen is impaired cognitive function affecting the ability to think clearly or concentrate. Our decisions become compromised, mood disturbances lead to irritability, mood swings, and diminished emotional state, which can increase the risk of anxiety and depression.

A weakened immune system increases the risk of a diminished immune response to infections, colds, and flu. I mean, the list goes on and on and on. Again, this is not just a mental thing, this is mind and body, and it's so dynamic. You know, you start to think about the choices that get made when I don't get enough sleep.

Those choices may not support my best, those choices might not support my health, those choices might not support the people that I care about the most. And so it not only can affect us in our bodies with our hormones and so many other things, but it can also affect those things outside of us as well. So things, just looking at my list here, chronic conditions, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, hormone regulation, those are all negatively affected by lack of quality sleep, correct?

Right, and what is the lack of quality sleep due to? Too much stress. You know, our bodies have this amazing gift by God to either fight or to flee. And sometimes when the fight gets too much, we've got to learn, you know, we've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, and know when to walk away and know when to run. And, you know, too many times that stress just takes over and the value that's on the inside of us, the believers, just gets suppressed.

And we become victimized in many ways in many of the circumstances of our lives. Yes, and again, friends, this is our one show a month where we really focus on a physical health issue and speak with an informed doctor to really try to dig deep, understand the body, understand how God made us, and then practical things that we can do, practical steps that we can take. We've just got a couple minutes before our next break, but go back to some of these gold standard studies that have been done in terms of KSM 66 and what it does in terms of general anxiety and then how it relates to sleep. Right, so like we talked about before now, like can it reduce anxiety by upwards of 70 plus percent and reduce our cortisol levels? We're also talking about Ashwagandha KSM 66, and one other thing that it showed is after taking Ashwagandha KSM 66 for six weeks, participants in one study described their sleeping as 72% better.

Listen, there are treatments out there that don't have that kind of efficacy, and this is something completely natural. The other thing I love about TriVita's KSM 66 is it's yes, it's going to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, but it's also non-habit forming like many of the other things that you can take out there. And so anything we can do to kind of quiet our minds, especially when it's time to go to sleep and to give us that ability to completely relax and experience deep sleep, the benefits of this are absolutely significant. In fact, KSM 66 Ashwagandha supplementation has also been shown to improve sleep and sleep-wake cycles and sleep quality among participants with insomnia. Insomnia is not just I can't go to sleep.

It's like I cannot go to sleep, and I know so many people that would give anything to get a good night's sleep just to fall asleep, and the other thing I'd say, Dr. Brown, is that so many people when it's time to go to sleep, they now become anxious about going to sleep, and so this is contributing even more to their ability to not be able to sleep. Something as simple as TriVita's KSM 66 has great science, and it's Bible supported as well. Remember, every herb-bearing seed has been given to us by God as food for us to help us navigate through life better. Yes, so we're not talking about a pill with all kinds of extra stuff in it that's habit-forming and that's really medicine that's man-made.

We're talking about extracting the best of what's God-made, so I want to encourage your friends to check this out. The free digital download that you'll get of the book Nancy and I wrote, that really focuses on diet. Oh yeah, diet, health, lifestyle, the changes that need to be made, and a lot of times you just got to be ruthless with it. You know, my plan for decades, cut back on the M&M's here and have a little less fried food here, it didn't work.

It didn't work. I ended up getting heavier over the years. My blood pressure was rising and other things just not functioning right in my body. And I was only 59 years old and I was getting worn out and 275 pounds, even though I'm almost 6'3", I was obese. I love the Lord. Like many of you that are overweight, I love the Lord. I was serving God. I was disciplined in so many areas of my life, but messing up there.

Nancy, being overweight just paralyzed her, didn't want to go out, do anything, she just felt miserable head to toe, and then she took off the weight through healthy living, completely transformed her. So we tell our stories, and if you don't have the whole book we wrote on it, especially get this. It's a free digital download. When you go ahead and get your one bottle of KSM 66, you get the second free. It's our joy to sew this into you, to make this available. And as Nancy and I worked on it together, it's like, how can we help? How can we help people? Because we know it's really, really hard to make the lifestyle change.

We know how hard it is. So pick up the phone now, call 800-771-5584. Place your order, or go to Tribena.com, use the code KSM66.

Your free bottle, when you order, get one second, one free, and then your free digital download. And then let us know how these things bless and help you. It's the line of fire with your host, Dr. Michael Brown. Get on the line of fire by calling 866-34-TRUTH. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Welcome back to the line of fire, friends. When's the last time you woke up in the morning and felt refreshed? That's been a challenge for me.

It's been really the only health area challenge I've been aware of. I've just been thriving, thriving with healthy eating and healthy lifestyle. But I thought, if I can just deal with sleep, I'm not going to be taking some sleeping pills.

They're addictive and with other medications and stuff I don't want to put in my body. So let's do it God's way. Let's get the best of what's out there and add that to our system. And then it's just, these things help. These things help. Yes, this generates funds to help us get on more stations. So there's an eternal goal. That's what ultimately drives me, is reaching more people. And Tribena's really helping us do this.

And we devote one day a month to encourage you in these ways. But just on a practical day-to-day level, if Nancy and I can help you eat better and live better, if working with Tribena can help supplement things to just help your body function better and add in these ingredients that God's put in the earth, boy, what a win-win situation and we'll be really pleased to know that. Dr. Manette, we talked about so many of the negative aspects of things and what happens with lack of sleep and with stress.

Let's turn it around. You're sleeping well. You're less stressed. Let's go through some of the positive benefits. Absolutely. And all I'd say to your listeners right now is make your dollars count.

At the end of the day, don't you want a better state of mind? Improve focus, sleep, and also to support Dr. Brown's line of fire. Let's amplify that.

For your first order, we're going to hand the money over to his ministry to allow that to do what it's here to do, and it's so important. And we're talking about $19.99 for two bottles, which is a 60-day supply. You're talking about just taking two capsules a day for your benefits that are very, very scientifically supported, but there's so much more. What about improved cognitive function? Studies have shown increasing short-term working memory, sustained attention, improved cognitive performance. It's also neuroprotective.

You think, well, what does that mean? Well, it's just reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in your brain. I mean, this product is so fantastic.

Trivedis KSM 66 is just so scientifically backed. What about energy and stamina? For those of you who are just waking up and you're fatigued and you're tired, I'm telling you, this product can really help you build your energy and stamina. But what about you athletes out there that want better performance?

This is another great opportunity for you to do that. And I think the big one here, and we're going to go over several others, but I think the big one is our immune system support, especially in this day and hour. You know, the viruses and the toxins and all these things that are occurring. Well, what the science is showing is this will enhance immune response. We're talking about KSM 66 Ashwagandha, and it increases circulating antibody cells. These antibody cells are like the police of your body that goes out and seeks the criminals, overwhelms them and drags them out of the body. This is really great for defending yourself against things like infection.

So let me ask something just specifically about the process here. Recently, we've been adding into our salads, Nancy and I, these micro greens. So they are, it's like broccoli or kale or different things, but I guess it's like the early stages. And it's supposed to be even 10 times more effective in doing what broccoli and kale, these other things do as far as just getting you the ultra benefits.

So I'm ignorant to a lot of nutritional stuff. Nancy studies it. I just, I just add it in as she recommends it. So when you're talking about the way this is extracted, I mean, is that what you're doing is like getting the best of the best.

How does this, how does this heighten the process of what it does? All right, so what we want to really understand is, is that we're using only the tender roots of the ashwagandha plant. It's also going from farm to manufacturer in a very specific process. And what we all have to understand is not all ashwagandha that's out there is going through that process.

It's very standardized. And what they did was is they took this KSM 66 specific process of ashwagandha to make sure that all of the efficacy of the plant could be at its maximum bioavailable form of this plant. And so they took that and said, okay, well, because of this incredible process, and because of the efficacy of this, we're going to use this product in all of our studies. And we're talking about 22 human gold standard studies that have shown all of the things that I'm talking about here today. And we're talking about just two capsules a day have showed that those benefits and that's exactly what is in Trivedis KSM 66.

You're only talking about taking two capsules per day. And you're going to have access to many of the scientifically backed benefits of taking a product like this. Whenever I'm looking for a good product to kind of get me off the wheel of stress and other things, I'm looking for something more passive, something I can just do quickly. And I can incorporate it into my lifestyle. And the more I can do that, the better my body performs at a high level of stress.

I assure all of your listeners that your body cannot operate at the level it otherwise could. When you can take a product like this that grows in very harsh environments, and you can say, okay, that's got a very specific property in there that because it grows in those harsh environments, it has adapted to those environments. Those are called adaptogens, which are actually in these kinds of plants. And by taking these, we can take on the benefits of these adaptogens to help us adapt to life better.

I was talking to a doctor at one time, a traditional medical doctor who worked in an integrated medical clinic, and he said, here's how you break down the foods. God makes it, it's good. Man makes it, it's not. So when it's not processed and you're getting stuff that comes out of the earth, etc., it's a whole lot better than when we process it and add everything into it. So it is amazing that God's put these things in the earth.

I remember reading about when you eat tomatoes and what they do in terms of fighting cancer, or things you get in your body, or this helps with the immune system, or this or that. It is amazing that God's put this stuff here for us. And friends, you know, we periodically have guests on to talk about their books.

We try not to do it a lot because we're jealous of our airtime. But when I think a book is good, or I've read it, or I like the author, I want everyone to get it. We get on the air and tell them, hey, get this book, you'll really enjoy it, you'll be blessed by it, you'll be stirred by it. So the same way, when I find something healthy, what Triveda does is they send it to me first, before we talk about it on the air, check it out.

And if you don't like it, that's where it ends. So I'm only excited because as I see results, I think, wow, I see a ripple effect out there on people. What about how this KSM 66 interacts with hormonal balance?

How does that work out? Right. So what it has been scientifically shown to do is reducing symptoms associated with PMS, menopause, and overall hormonal balance. And it really supports what we call our endocrine system. And we have to understand that these hormones are these little chemicals that are going around as messengers inside of our blood. And a perfect example of this would be insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. And if that can't work properly, then we're talking about that particular hormone that's there to knock on the door of that cell and say, hey, we've got some glucose here and we want to provide you with energy.

If that doesn't work, then a lot of other things can't work. And one of the other benefits, which is very unique to that, is the cardiovascular health benefits, cholesterol and triglycerides in particular. And so we have to understand that too much fat in our blood can contribute to atherosclerosis and many other things.

The science has shown that at this 600 mg dose, just two capsules again of Triveda's KSM-66 Ashwagandha, that it has absolutely improved cholesterol and triglyceride levels in our blood. Listen, the number one killer in America is heart disease. And what we've learned about heart disease is it's preventable and reversible through lifestyle modifications and through certain nutrients that can help support that system better. And that's why we recommend everyone hear about the lifestyle changes and that's what Nancy and I have written in this free mini book. And we take some of the material from our book, Breaking the Stronghold of the Food, some of it's brand new, freshly written.

We give you 10 practical steps that you can take. So it's not available, you can't buy it anywhere. It's just a free giveaway when you place your order with Triveda. So that'll just come automatically. Feel free to ask for it, but that'll come automatically. The link for the digital download Healthy Church starts with a healthy you. And the number to call is 800-771-5584.

I know that many of you are not listening live to the broadcast. If you're just tuning in, this is what we do once a month, have this health focus with Dr. Burnett, really talk through some of these issues on a practical level and do our best to give you tools that'll help. And then in turn, your orders help us reach more people on the line of fire. So everyone's blessed through the process of doing this and I get informed. It's very helpful for me because I'm not a medical doctor.

I don't have this background. But 800-771-5584, when you call, make sure that you mention KSM 66. But I know many of you are not listening live.

You listen on podcasts, different hours, and you're going to call when no one's there. Don't worry about it. Just leave your info and TriVita will get back to you. If it's easier, just go to TriVita.com. And since it's 50% off, which we've never been able to offer with anything, get a bunch of bottles. Nobody's stopping you, right?

Get an offer like this for yourself so you have several months supply or for other family members. And of course, make sure the book's very readable. It's only about 10,000 words. So you can sit down and read it and take it in. And we want to encourage you to really pray about being stewards over your body. We want to encourage you to really think. I mean, Dr. Burnett's devoted his life to this.

He's a pastor, but he's devoted his life to helping people be healthy and well. And look, Nancy and I talk about it constantly, constantly, never condemning because we know how many years we lived eating in wrong ways and making wrong lifestyle choices. So we are absolutely rooting for you and say, hey, if we could change Nancy, who is a self-confessed glutton, and if I was a self-confessed lifelong unhealthy eater and food limp when it came to tasting new foods and trying new ways to live, if God could help us make the change and live it out, He can help you make the change. And then you add these supplements in wherever you are. It's going to give you a boost. It's going to help you if you're super healthy like we are, by God's grace, add these in and it takes you to another level. If you're struggling with these other issues, especially anxiety and stress and not sleeping well, boom, this could really help get you on the right track.

So we are strongly encouraging you to take the step, participate with us in a journey to wellness. Got a few more minutes with Dr. Burnett. It's The Line of Fire with your host, Dr. Michael Brown. Get on the line of fire by calling 866-34-TRUTH. Here again, it's Dr. Michael Brown. All right. I've got a few more minutes with Dr. Burnett, and then I just want to give you some personal words of encouragement from the heart.

So I've got two last questions for you, Dr. Burnett. First, just out of curiosity, how long does it take you when Tribeta comes up with a plan? We want to get this product out from start to finish, something like this, all the studies, research. How long does it take to go from the idea to actually getting this out to the public? There are so many steps into that process. It starts, obviously, with an idea of what we believe is needed, and then from there it goes into formulation, then it goes into the quality of the ingredients, then it goes, well, what's the science support?

Because, you know, at Tribeta, we're all focused on Bible-based and science-supported, so if the science isn't there, we're just not interested. We'll keep looking. We will become the seekers on behalf of so many others. And, you know, the generosity that goes into this, to say how long does it take, it could take years, or it could take as little as maybe nine to ten months.

And so it just really depends. And, you know, so much goes into this, so much expertise. And not only is the expertise there, but the passion. You know, Michael Ellison's vision for the world is greater wellness for purpose. And the more wellness we can have, the better we're going to be able to do in life.

I've seen countless great men and women of God lose their health, and as a result lose a lot of the purpose that God had for them. And, boy, I tell you, if we can just embrace the ideas behind Tribeta's KSM 66 Ashwin-Gandha, I'm telling you, this is really a key to getting off that hamster wheel of stress, and all the negative effects that come with that, and something very, very passive that we can do. Just two capsules a day, 600 milligrams, puts you right into the science of this product, and you can start to experience all of these things for yourself. And last, last thing I'll say, Dr. Brown, is all of our products come with a money-back guarantee. And so I just want to throw that out there. We're not out just to sell you something. We're out there to invite you into a wellness journey, and we want to be with you every step of the way. And, you know, Dr. Bennett, I'll say this last thing to you before I let you go.

I appreciate your time and the effort you put into these broadcasts, the preparation of material. But when I talked to Michael Ellison, off the air, texting back and forth, emailing, calling, we're constantly talking about how people get well. In other words, it's not how can we sell more product, it's how can we get this into the hands of more people to help them get well, and how can we help them make lifestyle changes. And, you know, when he, his own health broke down, and sleep was like an enemy to him as he tells his story, came on the air and told his whole story, and how he had to completely change his relationship to sleep and change the way he lived, and how vibrant he is, older than me, but thriving, vibrant, and active. And he just looked around and saw so many leaders, pastors were sick, and realized so much of it was diet-related and lifestyle choice-related, and he thought, we've got to do something about this. So, yeah, I burn every single moment of my life to reach more people, and to get this message of moral sanity and spiritual clarity out to help more people.

I burn with it day and night. I was just shedding in my monthly prayer retreat this past Friday, Saturday, and same thing, just pouring my heart out to God for these very things, that we can reach more people and reach them more effectively. And Nancy and I constantly talk about people's health and lifestyle choices. So, yeah, we want to reach people, and the funds help us do it. We want to see people, well, that's the thing, we want to help you. That's what motivates us, that's why we work together with TriVita, as opposed to just, here's some company that wants to support us.

No, it was a holistic, spiritual, physical, mental, emotional union. And I so appreciate the expertise and your enthusiasm. So, Dr. Vanette, hopefully we'll help a whole bunch of people and continue this wellness revolution. God bless you, my friend. God bless you, too. All right. Well, you say, boy, you really pushed this.

You better believe, joyfully, so all these notes of information. Even I didn't get into the whole anti-aging thing. 68 years old now, right, so my birthday's in March, so 68 and a half years old, I am far healthier, far more full of energy, far sharper mentally, far, just thriving in every area of life, far more now at 68 than I was at 59 when I was eating the way I used to eat. You say, how'd you used to eat?

Well, if you left me on a desert island but I could have pizza and chocolate every single day, I would have been perfectly happy. You said, how much fruit did you eat? I basically didn't. I basically didn't eat fruit. You didn't eat fruit?

Hardly. I had some watermelon here and there and maybe some grapes, but I didn't really like fruit. What about vegetables? I have a small salad. I like salad. I have a small salad every day, most every day, a small salad.

Yeah, uh-huh. What about other vegetables? No, I didn't eat other vegetables. What about just meals with vegetables?

No, I didn't touch that. What else did you eat? Well, I like burgers. I tried not to have fried food that much, but I did have chicken tenders fried. Oh, yeah, I like those.

And, of course, anything with the Italian ingredients, the cheese and the sauce. There's something you say, what are you doing, man? You're making me hungry. Well, come on, this is what was killing me.

This is what was hurting me, all right? So, yeah, I was like chicken parmesan. Oh, yeah, I'd get that and, you know, steak, baked potato loaded with butter.

Yeah, that was good. And I would try that. I was disciplined.

You know how disciplined I was? If I was going to five guys for a meal, so I'd get a burger and then, like, I'm going to give you, like, a whole bag of fries. If I was going to five guys, I would skip a meal because that was so many calories. Or if I was going to go to Dairy Queen, what would I get at Dairy Queen? A chocolate extreme blizzard.

Well, not just chocolate, but chocolate extreme and large, of course. Well, that alone was 1,500 calories. Well, so I'd skip a meal if I was going to do that. But I had that kind of stuff or ice cream or chocolate bars or peanut M&M's or Dunkin' Donuts, chocolate glazed Dunkin'. I mean, every day I had chocolate several times a day.

And I was addicted to it. And then the other unhealthy food and travel all the time. Well, when you travel, you can eat what you want, right?

Isn't that the rule? I mean, you're at the airport. Of course, you can eat what you want at the airport. You're at the airport. You're flying overseas, extra rolls. You're flying. Why not? Well, of course you can. You get to the hotel. They have fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. That's like being sinful. They're free.

It's being a bad steward. That's the way I lived. This is the way I lived. And Nancy, even though she's a foot shorter than me, she had the capacity to eat a lot of food. Where did it go?

What went? But we love God, disciplined in so many other ways. And like I said, I never in a day ate whatever I wanted all day because I was disciplined. But I was constant losing battle. And I loved Jesus. And I was in ministry.

And I was serving people and helping people. So the last thing, the last thing ever that I want you to hear is condemnation or criticism. It's hard. It's challenging. And the standard American diet is deadly. This has been said, we're digging our own graves with forks and knives. We really are. So lifestyle choice, change, I know it's challenging.

You say, what do I do? I'm cooking for my husband. I'm cooking for my kids. And they're not eating healthily.

And what are we going to do, make extra meals for myself? No one said it's easy. But if your health depended on it, would you make a change? Here's another question. Pastors, leaders. Do you love the ministry, the work of the Lord, the people you're serving, your family? Do you love them more than your food?

Yeah, these are questions to ask ourselves. So Nancy and I have written this free digital mini book when you order KSM 66 Ashwagandha. So you get 50% off to start. So you get one bottle, get the second one free. In the past we've had a 25% discount through Trivedis Generosity.

This time it's 50%. And if you've been ordering repeatedly, and we're so blessed to see, every month, I don't normally look at these kind of things, but I've been following it with real interest. Every month we're seeing that the repeat orders keep growing because more and you are finding the products helpful and beneficial.

And then you get all these points and stuff back so they reduce the price for you and things. But over time the repeat order is donated to the line of fire. And every day we're praying, Lord, how can we reach more people? How can we touch more people?

How can we get the broadcast and the message out free to more people? So thank you, our torchbearers, our monthly supporters, those who give periodically, thank you for your support. Those who pray for us regularly, thank you. We're making a difference. Lives are being changed. I am overflowing with encouragement, not just because of God's goodness and not just because of the way He wired me, but because of stuff we're hearing and seeing. Even reports I got in the last 24 hours have me stoked. I am really blessed, encouraged, overflowing with positivity. And now we've added in just another element.

I feel like I've just stepped into another gear. So I really encourage you to check this out. 800-771-5584. Dr. Brown, this sounds like an infomercial. Yeah, the once a month, that's basically what it is. It's a health infomercial with introducing something that we think you're really going to find helpful and that in turn will help us reach more people with the line of fire. So call 800-771-5584.

That is the number to call or go to TriVita.com and use the code KSM66. When you order, get a bunch of bottles. I do that at this discount.

And then you'll also get the free digital download. And please let us know if you make the lifestyle changes. Let us know. We can pray for you. We can encourage you.

Let us know how the TriVita products are working for you. That's why we're sharing them with you. And hey, tomorrow is going to be an eye-opening broadcast as we talk about the defective American gospel. It's going to be pretty intense, pretty rich in content, but exactly why you listen. Do not miss it.
