How To Increase Mobility [00:23:05]

Anthony says: My main issue is, no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get flexible. I have been doing squats, stretching, martial arts, and a bunch of different things for well over 3 years and no matter what I can't get any flexibility or rotation. I can barely squat but I can do everything else. I don't know what to do. Do you have any answers? The problem is in my arms (overhead), legs (can't touch my toes) and torso (rotation).

In my response, I recommend: -Kion Aminos -Kion Flex -Primal Collagen -My article on mobility -My audio on the Alexander technique Vaporizing Essential Oils [00:43:11]

Katie says: Recently you talked about Vaping essential oils. I was wondering if you could give us more details on that. I have a bunch of friends who live very healthy lifestyles aside from the fact that they can't give up their vapes. How does vaping essential oils compare to a regular vape? How much smoke does it produce? How is the flavour? How do you choose your blends? How do you use it?

In my response, I recommend: -Aromatherapy Inhaler -Thrive CBD Vape Pen -Essential Oil Vaporizer -Podcast 1 with Paul Chek -Podcast 2 with Paul Chek -Magic Flight Box -Da Buddha vaporizer -Article about the temperatures essential oils vape at -Young Living Essential Oil -Essential Oil Wizardry Everything You Need To Know About Garlic For Health [00:53:23]

Mark says: What do you think about aged garlic extract? It seems they recommend it for just about everything and I was wondering what you thought about it for daily use.

In my response, I recommend: -Kyolic aged garlic on Amazon -How to make aged garlic -My article on stopping colds and flus How To Get Rid Of Sun Spots [01:01:14]

Anthony says: How can you get rid of sun spots or age spots? So far I have used Apple Cider Vinegar and lemon juice. Any advice would be great.

In my response, I recommend: -Kion Anti-Aging Serum
