Defend Your Health | Baseline Tuning

I then noticed a pattern, every time I would get these feelings, I would be drinking a low-carb Monster energy drink. I wondered; could this beverage really be affecting me? I then stopped drinking it and the episodes of melancholy and depression stopped. It wasn’t long after I realized the secret symbolism in the logo of the drink and now, I can’t get myself to drink the beverage anymore. I can’t remember the last time I have consumed one.

I wondered if the episodes I was having were linked to a secret agenda by the makers of the drink. I also wondered why some people don’t seem to be affected the same when consuming the drink. I wondered how many people are on anti-depressants when the root cause was actually their diet and what they consumed.

If you’re someone that suffers with anxiety or depression, and is a Christian, I recommend you immediately stop consuming the Monster beverage.

Now, you may find an alternative to Monster to get your fix but isolating one brand isn’t as far as this goes. Aluminum soda cans have a plastic liner inside, see here. This is important because this leaches chemicals into the beverage that contain endocrine disruptors. The video I have linked in this section is a little long, about 40 minutes, but Men especially need to watch it as it explains a very troubling reality about our environment.

A man’s quality of life will greatly suffer with poor testosterone levels, and it seems everything regarding our food and water is out to plummet it. We need to be hyper-vigilant and focused on what we consume and what our food is packaged in. Another thing to note, is each person is different genetically. Endocrine disruptors will behave differently per person. So, the only way to tackle this is elimination and getting to a clean-diet baseline.

Now before I move on to the next point, I just finished this week following Art of Drink‘s video linked in this section on creating my own energy drink soda. This allows me to have my fix in a healthy way. Getting rid of food dyes, plastic lined cans, poor water, and other chemicals found in the retail drinks.

I control every aspect of the drink. Indeed, it does taste just like Red Bull! I will not share the links in the sheet he gives his Patrion members with all the food ingredients (Energy-Drink.pdf), you must join for $5 to download it, but I will share the equipment I bought on Amazon to replicate what he did in coming days.

I now can enjoy soda without the pitfalls to my health, save money in the long run, and I guess a new hobby to add to my life, soda creation.

Thomas DeLauer is an amazing inspiration to me. This guy’s passion and knowledge about the human body and how our diet affects it is astonishing. He is also someone who struggled with his weight, and what he looks like now is nothing like what he used to be. I’ve watched hours of him talking and explaining things he has found and his research and have truly gotten the picture of just how much is against us in the world of food.

Thomas doesn’t miss the little details and, in the video, linked, he explains how crucial our gut microbiome health is to our brain health. Highly refined oils, artificial sweeteners, antibiotics in our meat, and much more that wrecks our gut microbiome, Thomas goes through it all. He is the guy I turn to in order to dive deeper into what’s not being discussed and hard to find information.

I noticed all the zero calorie drinks were causing inflammation in my stomach, once I stopped drinking them, the stomach pain/bloating went away, and mental clarity came back to me. I felt like my old self again, would’ve not been aware of it if not for his videos. I will gladly have the sugar if I have to over chemical sweeteners now.

Through watching Thomas, I was also introduced to Bobby Parrish, while Thomas explains the effects on the body, Bobby is like the ingredient police and knows what’s in food and the names to avoid. Bobby’s videos add the final blow to just how awful common foods are for us. Like, I said, the enemy (Satan) has had hundreds of years to plan and wiggle into the Food Corporations and FDA to have toxic stuff in our food, which affects our minds.

If our minds are affected, how will that also affect our Spiritual health and connection to Jesus Christ? We must aim to eat a clean diet so that we will have the mental clarity and strength to fight temptations and spiritual warfare.
