Episode 503: Anthony William: Heavy Metals, Brain Fog, and The Voice That Guides Him


Listen Later

Most people don’t fail at getting healthy because they don’t care. They fail because they’re following the wrong advice.

In this episode, I sit down with Anthony William, the Medical Medium, to talk about why doing everything “right” can still leave you feeling like crap. We get into how stress, overtesting, and over-supplementing can backfire, and why simplicity beats every hack.

He shares how metals in the brain can fuel issues like OCD and ADHD, the five foods he swears by for detox and recovery, and why celery juice became more than just a trend. We also talk about what people get wrong about protein, clean eating, and chasing “optimization.”

Whether you love him or question him, this conversation will make you stop and rethink what being healthy really means.

Anthony William is the founder of the global celery juice movement and a #1 New York Times best-selling author known for his Medical Medium book series. Since the age of four, he has said he receives health insights from what he calls the Spirit of Compassion, helping people improve their well-being through a more intuitive approach.

What we discuss:

  • (05:42) Why “healthy” habits might actually be keeping you sick

  • (13:10) The hidden downside of overtesting

  • (24:57) How the Medical Medium was trained by a voice since childhood

  • (28:45) The real reason you feel tired even when you “do everything right”

  • (44:02) How heavy metals in the brain may trigger OCD and ADHD symptoms

  • (1:11:59) The five foods Anthony swears by for real detox and recovery

  • (01:17:57) Why protein isn’t the miracle nutrient you think it is

  • (01:23:39) The truth behind celery juice and why it became a global movement

  • (01:26:11) Why Anthony turned down Hollywood deals and the “health celebrity” circuit
