Dr. Joel Robbins is truly one of a kind. He is a natural health practitioner, a nationally known author and lecturer in the fields of nutrition, natural healthcare and alternative medicine, as well as a licensed chiropractor and naturopathic doctor. He’s been helping patients from around the world achieve health naturally since 1978. If you’re someone that needs a persuasive perspective on how and why to live a healthier lifestyle then listen up! Dr. Robbins brings health discernment down to a level we can all understand. He has a heart of gold and you will love his analogies...he is famous for them! At the same time, he is a doctor that doesn't want you to live like you have to be perfect. He's not a fan of following diets, he just wants you to understand healthy guidelines and that you're either positively investing in or negatively withdrawing from your health, like a bank account. Dr. Robbins views traditional medicine as being useful for crisis care (saving a life), but it does little to address the cause of health problems. Nutrient deficiencies and toxicity, Dr. Robbins believes, are the basic contributors to disease. Therefore, the primary focus of Dr. Robbins’ practice centers around two things: what is causing deficiencies and/or toxicity of the patient, and what their body needs to restore itself to health. Dr. Robbins is a strong advocate of the body’s own healing ability, but believes the patient must give the body the opportunity to do so through lifestyle changes including: diet, juicing, food supplements, rest, exercise, and natural therapies. I'm glad you’re here to listen to this motivational and inspirational interview with the one and only Dr. Joel Robbins.

• Finding Passion for Nutrition and Preventive Medicine The medical community was at a loss as to what was causing the health issue that Dr Joel’s father was experiencing. Finally, he went to a chiropractor who also specialized in nutrition, and the treatment brought his father back to life. It had become clear that he was suffering from severe hypoglycemia.

• 02:52

• Pursuing a Naturopathic Program Dr Robbins intended to pursue a career in medicine. But then he concluded that he should instead take this other path, so he attended chiropractic college. After about 18 months of doing that, he started to become bored with it. He did end up submitting his application to attend seminary. After that, he attended naturopathic school, and ever since then, he has been learning by reading, attending seminars, and otherwise educating himself 05:48 The Importance of Educating Patients Many people who work in natural health care have what Dr Robbins calls a “medical mindset,” making things challenging for patients and practitioners. It is completely understandable why people don’t want to alter the way they live. However, the key to helping them is by educating them.

• The Underlying Principle of Disease If the environment is not as it should be, each successive generation of cells will be removed further from the ideal state. And ultimately, it manifests as a symptom that we recognize as an illness, pain, ache, or something else.

• 08:57

• Altering one’s surroundings is essential to the healing process. What if we were to alter the surrounding conditions? What if we started including nutritional supplements? What if do everything in our power to eliminate the irritants, toxins, and elements that contribute to stress?

• 11:14

• The Physical Body as a Source of Energy The physical body is the source of energy for the mental and emotional realms of our being. Because of this, as our health deteriorates, our bodies must make sacrifices to balance their budgets. This is because our bodies have to take precedence over using whatever energy is available. As a result, the domain of emotions was the first to be eliminated. Therefore, depression is at alarmingly high rates across this country.

• 11:45

• When you’re feeling mentally impaired, your thoughts become foggy, and your memory becomes less reliable. Our minds tell our bodies to give up, and we eventually do.

• 14:18

• Inadequate Nutrition and Nutrition Deficiency Since our bodies are constantly exposed to new substances, they cannot mend damaged cells or produce new, healthy ones. That’s exactly the kind of thing that happens from day to day. Therefore, it cannot repair, mend, or build normally without those sufficient nutrients. In this regard, it is important to consider whether or not we are eating healthily and whether we are omitting any potentially harmful things.

• 18:12

• The Magic of Juicing The good thing about juicing is that it reduces your body’s effort to digest the food. So, we acquire all this nourishment through juicing. 20:07 The Nutrition Going into the Body of a Baby Very few diseases are already present when a baby is conceived. However, we do inherit genetic vulnerabilities. What factors ultimately lead to the development of the disease from such weaknesses? It is related to the food that we consume. It starts with what the mother eats before conception, and then we move on to what the mother eats after the baby is born. If the mother is nursing the baby and eating (hopefully) a healthy diet, then there are enzymes, there is life, and there is nutrition going into that body. This chain of events begins at conception. When a formula is introduced, on the other hand, we begin the process of beginning to set the stage rather than bringing hereditary deficiencies that are already present to the forefront.

• What’s In Organic Formula The ingredients in organic formulae do not include any enzymes, but they do not contain any poisons or chemicals either. The remaining formulations are merely composed of chemical elements. And so, we are beginning to poison, not to mention depriving those children of nutrients, which is essentially what is putting toxins in their bodies.

• 23:54

• What are Enzymes? It was discovered in the 1940s that enzymes cause fruits and vegetables to ripen. If they’re not consumed, the enzymes cause them to decay.

• 26:26

• What Fasting Can Do to Our Bodies? Even when we eat healthy foods, our bodies have to use a lot of energy to digest and process the food. This is because the food has to go to the liver, changed into a form that our cells can use, and then sent to the cells. So, all of that needs energy and food. 27:00 When we fast, the body doesn’t have to spend any energy processing food and can devote all its resources to detoxing.
