00:00:00.160
Hi, I'm Mike, and yes, thank you for your emails. I know my glasses are never clean.
00:00:06.580
This, my friends, is a big part of my day right here.
00:00:10.100
No, I'm not going to be endorsing anything today, except that I am,
00:00:13.180
because I want to share something with you that entered my life about a year ago
00:00:17.260
and has consistently... Thank you very much, Brady.
00:00:22.160
Producer Brady, lovely Brady. This will come in handy later.
00:00:26.440
This started in my life about a year ago, and I want to share it with you.
00:00:30.260
It's called Alkaline Nutrition. It's a movement.
00:00:34.220
And today, we're going to speak to the father of that movement, Mark Newman.
00:00:44.160
Mark, this is for you. We won't be needing this, okay?
00:00:48.960
So, there you go. Mark Newman, everybody. Thank you so much for joining me, man.
00:00:54.000
Thanks, Mike. I really appreciate this opportunity of getting the message out there
00:00:59.420
Water is beautiful. We're all grateful to have it.
00:01:02.800
I think mine's a little cooler than yours. My apologies for that.
00:01:05.820
I don't know where that one came from. It's suspicious, that water.
00:01:13.160
But what can be added to this starts my day every day,
00:01:17.860
and I don't know why it has become such an addiction,
00:01:20.900
but I'm not the kind of guy that really is all about nutrition.
00:01:24.960
I don't know if you gathered, but I'm a little bit of a loop when it comes to,
00:01:31.420
If I told you what I ate today, you would probably not feel well yourself.
00:01:35.360
However, it came after I put nutrition in my body that is a different kind of nutrition.
00:01:45.920
It's an open-ended question that could last a long time,
00:01:52.160
When I was 35, I was, for the first time, conscious about my life, where I am,
00:01:58.000
what's going on, how do I take control of things.
00:02:04.400
and for the first time I acknowledged that I'd collected 12 diseases and 14 medications.
00:02:09.300
And, you know, when I looked at that, I realized that nothing I knew I could teach my children
00:02:21.660
I put my fingers in my ears and I closed my eyes because it was a little sore if I did that.
00:02:25.720
And I went in search of the truth on how to treat the human body and how to bring it back to life.
00:02:34.060
And, you know, what I found and what I discovered was the alkalining aspect of nutrition,
00:02:39.820
which is predominantly fruits and vegetables, is where your health and every human being's health lies.
00:02:46.200
And so in a nutshell, alkalinity is just the power of getting more cellular fruits, vegetables, nuts, greens,
00:02:53.360
and seeds into your body on a daily basis in a particular way that, as you know,
00:02:58.800
first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is proving to be the shift that needs to be taken.
00:03:04.480
So that belief starts to rise not within the self, but also within the body.
00:03:11.860
But as you've proven, if you don't make the better choice,
00:03:14.060
at least the next morning you can start all over again.
00:03:19.960
Um, I started this program myself and it came to me actually through a friend of ours
00:03:28.560
You know, we're getting to an age where you want to make sure that you are fighting off disease
00:03:32.460
and illness and all of these things, including cancers and, and longevity overall of, of your organs.
00:03:39.300
Uh, and I, he terrified me first and foremost, but what really terrified me was,
00:03:44.500
Oh no, now I have to go on a special diet and eat special things.
00:03:50.980
And well, then I met you and these arrived and I thought, Whoa, first of all, futuristic bagging.
00:03:58.200
But my introduction to food ascend through you was in this form.
00:04:02.500
And when you talk about making better choices, almost instantly in my first week of ingesting the juice
00:04:09.200
and we'll talk about how you do it and everything.
00:04:13.780
Uh, right now, let me just, you know, give it a good shake.
00:04:23.560
I start my day every, I like to go a little heavy.
00:04:27.920
Uh, so just a little bit of this with water every day is how I start my, uh, start my day.
00:04:36.000
So my point was now I've started my day and I drink the juices.
00:04:42.160
No real, uh, imposition in my day, no extra shopping.
00:04:47.980
And now I find, Oh, I really don't want that Mars bar that I was addicted to.
00:04:55.000
Not because I'm consciously saying, Oh, I'm not going to eat, but suddenly my body has
00:05:00.140
these nutrients working for it that say, no, no, we won't feel well.
0.92
00:05:06.860
And you know, the simplest way of explaining that is electrical charge in here lies life,
0.98
00:05:16.200
And so when you put it in your body, it's exactly what your cells want.
00:05:21.080
If I can, maybe, maybe the other one, this one it's, it's human.
00:05:26.020
I think what, what it's about is it's the pinnacle of, of my journey of understanding
00:05:34.420
Um, you know, we've come to understand carbs and fats and calories and everything is, let
00:05:40.740
But if you actually go deeper than that, you mentioned something about staying away from
00:05:45.160
You know, if you think back 30, 40 years ago, there was no conversation about that.
00:05:50.340
People weren't obese and diabetic like they are today.
00:05:53.920
Well, in certain parts of the world that do very well with their health overall, uh, per
00:05:59.300
And we see this consistently are places where people eat real food and they source it daily.
00:06:07.620
And those are the healthiest nations on earth with, you know, oceans and lots of sunshine,
00:06:12.900
The back of this package, uh, the labeling, uh, very interesting.
00:06:17.540
Some of the ingredients here are, I don't know if you can see this, Nick, where food becomes
00:06:29.700
And that's, people wonder how I got the name food assistance because we're turning
00:06:39.440
Oh, chronic acid reflux, chronic irritable bowel syndrome, uh, chronic, uh, bad sleep patterns.
00:06:49.040
They just, they change your life, but you learn to live with them because when you go to the
00:06:52.480
doctor and you tell him what's wrong with you, he never tells you to change your diet.
00:06:56.000
He never tells you to change the way you're eating.
00:06:57.900
He just subscribed something or prescribed something, or you go to the pharmacy and you tell them
00:07:02.880
that you have in troubles with dairy and they give you lactose pills.
00:07:05.840
And you know, that, excuse me, that's not a solution to, to the problem, which is the
00:07:11.280
food that we have been brought up on over the last several decades.
00:07:21.860
Convenience and all of that sort of stuff got in the way of us actually putting nutrition
00:07:26.960
in us and now there's, we have every opportunity to do it.
00:07:30.900
But there's a massive epidemic of, of blindness towards food being the ultimate kind of guide
00:07:39.280
And when I say that hole, I mean, we are in an epidemic of diabetes and obesity.
00:07:46.740
Can you imagine taking this to the pharmaceutical, cheers, golden tonic, start your day the way.
00:07:55.860
And if I can just interject there, why, why this works is first of all, it's water as you
00:08:02.140
Hydrating the organs first thing in the morning.
00:08:05.820
You've got apples, which feeds all your organs.
00:08:07.700
You've got dates, which feed the gut and the brain.
00:08:09.820
And you've got bananas, which feed you got biome.
00:08:11.420
So by doing this first thing in the morning, you're actually honoring your body and saying,
00:08:28.500
So if I've done something over the last couple of days, we've experienced what I think is
00:08:32.940
probably the last heat wave of the summer here in Ontario.
00:08:39.160
Yeah, water, rehydrating, but also getting nutrients alongside that.
00:08:42.820
Because on those days I've noticed, I eat less.
00:08:51.760
This or this in my day is a full meal on top of rehydrating with this juice seems to do
00:08:59.840
So you have these situations, medically speaking, in your life.
00:09:04.900
And I think to myself, imagine taking this to the pharmaceutical companies and saying,
00:09:18.040
So tell us about the science behind this so that people can know this is not just eating
00:09:24.480
fruits and vegetables because they're good for you.
00:09:26.760
So what is alkalinity and what does it do for us to have an alkaline body?
00:09:33.720
So again, that's part of my book that I've written.
00:09:35.180
And by the way, anybody can log on to foodison.com and you can send me your details.
00:09:39.420
And I'm more than happy to send you a copy of this book.
00:09:43.760
When I discovered what I discovered, the education for me was always going to be free.
00:09:48.240
Product, obviously, you've got to pay for, right?
00:09:49.820
Well, somebody's got to make it and buy all the veggies and fruits and nuts.
00:10:00.420
The question was, what is alkalinity and the science behind it?
00:10:07.680
So in my studies, I really went back to the basic instinct of the animal.
00:10:12.640
I thought to myself, if animals can live disease-free, obviously cancer, diabetes, obesity-free,
00:10:18.260
and they are instinctive in their connection with everything around them, what is missing from humanity?
00:10:26.780
And so what I discovered over many years was that not just the biology of us being omnivores
00:10:32.080
and human omnivores, which means we're predominantly vegetable, a bit of carnivore involved there,
00:10:37.960
but the cellular structure of the animal and the plant and the human,
00:10:42.880
the mitochondria, the nucleus, the DNA, we all have those in common.
00:10:46.820
So when I started connecting the threads together and questioning why is it that this product
00:10:52.240
that I developed, you know, 17, 18 years ago that reversed every disease in my body
00:10:57.020
because I drank two liters of it every day, why did that have the effect on my body that it had?
00:11:01.680
And it turns out that, A, number one, it was alkaline because every product that I put in there
00:11:10.700
And people understand alkalinity through water these days, and it's a great step if you're having alkaline water.
00:11:16.140
That's true. That's the first time I had heard the use of that word.
00:11:21.020
I mean, look at it this way. You want a better analogy? Look at a swimming pool.
00:11:25.700
That's the truth. The first time I ever really concerned myself with alkalinity was making sure that the pool was nice.
00:11:32.780
Right. And so in there lies the green pool is acidic. You've got algae that grows in there.
00:11:38.980
You shock it with alkaline, chlorine, and all of a sudden it becomes blue.
00:11:45.740
So connecting all those dots over many years and doing documentaries, I've written a couple of books.
00:11:52.640
I've had clients that just swear by their anecdotal evidence of, I no longer have cholesterol levels that are high.
00:12:00.060
I no longer have, you know, high blood sugars for type 2 diabetes.
00:12:05.200
I no longer have, you know, things that weren't going right.
00:12:12.960
I have two women fall pregnant naturally after trying IVF just through getting their body balance and their hormones functioning through the power of alkaline.
0.62
00:12:22.020
If I find myself getting pregnant from your juice, I will be in touch.
1.00
00:12:28.920
And funny enough, I had the opportunity in a different interview to interview your dad.
00:12:38.200
And he told me that his most recent results from the doctor were outstanding.
00:12:53.320
The heart, blood, everything came back on him healthy.
00:13:03.620
Oh, look, I think as an aging human being, you have things that creep up and your doctor, again, gives you certain things.
00:13:10.800
But, you know, through his commitment to start his day off through the foodism way, I have, and it's been my greatest privilege and my greatest honor, I have helped my father and my mom for that matter.
00:13:23.440
But stay healthy and strong as they keep aging in their, you know, in their human experience.
00:13:30.080
And so they can still enjoy the fruits of their labor.
00:13:33.740
You know, I have a shop and hopefully we'll get into that a little bit.
00:13:39.700
And I have people come there week after week after week just singing the praises of how they haven't changed their life so dynamically, but this product in the morning has helped them overcome issues that they couldn't.
00:13:55.940
Just recently, a woman, diverticulitis and colitis, she's no longer going to the bathroom 11 times a day.
1.00
00:14:02.540
Can you imagine that, going to the bathroom 11 times a day?
00:14:04.340
No, that's why when you said earlier that, you know, you had irritable bowel syndrome, the results of that in people's life is devastating.
00:14:12.920
But here's the kicker is that we believe that that's the way we were supposed to live.
00:14:20.740
And it no longer stands because if we keep following a broken system, we keep having broken people.
00:14:26.560
And so foodism and the alkaline movement is about not stopping what you love, but looking at food and nutrition a different way
00:14:33.700
so that you can help your body the way that it takes care of you.
00:14:45.720
Again, you can eat as many salads as you want, but at the same time, you're not going to have the abundance, the silliness of the fiber
00:14:52.900
on the smallest, microscopic, broken down space, working immediately to rebuild healthier cells from your gut.
00:15:00.560
And we now know that your gut and your gut biome are the most important parts of the human body.
00:15:05.540
And if you get that right, you've got a life filled with love and happiness.
00:15:09.040
Now, globally, thank goodness, we've come into an era where you've become a little bit of a superhero and sort of known for this.
00:15:17.760
A couple of books in, but really people just having the ability to go to your website and learn how to make this happen in their life.
00:15:35.780
And I had the opportunity in those interviews of speaking to a number of people that none of them had met before.
00:15:51.880
I don't have to manage this with medication anymore.
00:15:57.160
But the underlying thing was I didn't have to change my life.
00:16:03.080
And I think people have started, they've replaced diet with nutrition with diet.
00:16:11.840
And I worry about that now because really, what's in these?
00:16:18.240
Green chard, parsley, basil, mint, celery, cucumber, apple, pear, banana, lemons, and dates.
00:16:33.580
Before this, could you imagine me eating green chard?
00:16:48.700
And, you know, I wasn't complete until that document was complete because that is the syllabus.
00:16:58.140
I've given away my education because I believe that what I've found out and what I know to be true,
00:17:05.240
not only through anecdotal, but through my own body.
00:17:18.860
And so in that platform lies the solution for so many of today's malnourishment diseases.
00:17:29.060
And if you look at the diagnoses, everything is a malnourishment of a certain mineral or a certain vitamin.
00:17:35.480
And from there, you know, you still live your life.
00:17:39.040
You still, you get and you give your body what it needs, what it deserves.
00:17:42.180
But you still end up enjoying your Mars bar from time to time.
00:17:47.480
You know, and at those moments, I'm like, wow, I really enjoyed that.
00:17:54.620
But you're like, it was worth it because I'm elevating my health and wellness every day.
00:17:59.960
You know, one other thing, if I can just go there.
00:18:06.480
And now on my website, as I'm completing it, foodison.com, I give away this actual formula for free because I believe that it's not just about learning mentality of what it is that you need to do.
00:18:21.680
But it's actually physically being able to be helped and cradled into that space of wellness.
00:18:26.400
When I was on my journey of health and wellness, I would go to many different lectures and information sessions.
00:18:32.940
And I would walk away feeling like I'd learned something, but woke up the next morning and knowing that there's nothing that supported me.
00:18:38.380
So I'm supporting humanity with my giving away the free gold morning tonic.
00:18:45.800
You don't have to give up your coffee or your breakfast or your cereal.
00:18:53.000
But right now, my focus is helping humanity just achieve a high level of wellness.
00:19:01.700
Watching the process of this over the last year and the shift toward sort of an awakening to one's own nutrition becoming more base level.
00:19:13.580
You're now a big deal among, how to put it, industrial kitchens and larger service scenarios where people who have been chefs and worked in the food industry for so long and they're serving anybody from seniors to in-flight meals are now looking to you to say, what do we do?
00:19:39.400
And you must have to do and you must have to say to them, you have to undo.
00:19:46.120
You have to almost retrain people to think it's okay to have nutrients.
00:19:55.540
I love that direction, but I don't think that that has served me in the past.
00:20:05.320
Just add something first thing in the morning because from there, change happens automatically.
00:20:14.600
That's the power of abundance in every mouthful, is that when you commit in the morning to just have that little change, even with five small ingredients in water, that little change connects your body and your brain and your mind and your soul.
00:20:31.220
And it allows you to, because we all know what's wrong.
00:20:40.380
So put in, remember what you already know and make those changes.
00:20:45.140
And within a very short period of time, you'll feel the difference.
00:20:48.320
I often think that I'm toasting myself in the morning.
00:21:04.060
So, it's very interesting because I just had a chat with GPT, chat GPT, chat with GPT.
00:21:13.520
You know, Mark, maybe it's, I just want you to know, you can call me anytime if you're lonely, okay?
00:21:26.360
Well, it's not really a conversation friend, but you throw ideas into it and it spits back truth or I'm truth.
00:21:32.560
You've got to just delve into it a little bit more.
00:21:38.780
So, no, I was asking about alkalinity, how it, yeah.
00:21:42.800
Yeah, I lost my train of thought there for a second.
00:21:44.900
But the power of alkaline in the body is, okay, so here's what chat GPT said to me.
00:21:55.420
So, you can't make a statement or a claim like you can balance the pH, the balance of the body.
00:21:59.840
But here's my thought, and here's delving into that process, is if the body is automatically balancing the pH of the blood,
00:22:07.940
which we know because very rarely does anybody have a 7.2 outside of that range.
00:22:12.660
If the body is doing that, where is it getting from if we are not, where is it getting that alkalinity from if we are not putting it in?
00:22:20.660
It's getting it from magnesium and calcium, which comes from where?
00:22:24.420
Why do most people, when they're old, have brittle bones?
00:22:27.360
It's because for years they've been a high acid environment.
00:22:32.820
And so, the body is having to get nutrients directly from…
00:22:37.820
Exactly, which is how the body was designed to keep itself alive.
00:22:41.800
But as we know, 50, 60, 70, 80, you start deteriorating, especially because the foods that we're eating are highly acidic.
00:22:48.500
All those years it's been drying on, are there organs and bones and all that sort of stuff to get what it needs?
00:22:53.500
So, the anecdote is, or the answer of the medical system is right, the body balances its own pH.
00:22:59.280
But what they fail to tell you is that it draws from within.
00:23:03.520
And so, if you put back before it draws from within, you're giving yourself longevity.
00:23:10.660
I'm loading up in advance of getting old because right now, maybe my body is not eating itself as much as it normally would if I was only eating my normal diet of past, Mars Bars, Tim Hortons, McDonald's…
00:23:26.680
And that's where the power of the telomere comes in, is that it releases everything inside here has its own life and its own enzyme and its own source.
00:23:36.000
And so, instead of your body breaking it down, it starts to break itself down, giving your body the nutrients quicker, faster than anything else.
0.99
00:23:54.560
And by the way, it's fairly affordable in terms of groceries, to be honest with you.
00:23:59.560
If you want to put something nutritious in your body, it is kind of a steal.
00:24:04.060
But what I think is interesting is that you've made this journey, and you make the juice for people, and you make it available, and you write.
00:24:14.620
But just now, all these years later, we're starting to understand something that seems like, man, we knew it already.
00:24:23.920
It feels like we got brainwashed by bad food, by the bad food industry.
00:24:29.340
And why wouldn't we look at, I mean, taste the bad food?
00:24:36.660
My first book is about how I was a food addict.
00:24:39.160
And today I still am, because I love the taste of food.
00:24:49.520
Understand where your body begins, what it needs, how to feed it, and then enjoy your human experience.
00:24:59.720
Now, people can get the book at foodassend.com.
00:25:03.140
If you send me a message, I will forward you the book.
00:25:07.260
It's a PDF, easy read, 32 pages, biology, science, all connected.
00:25:17.020
It's going to be new and improved, and people will be able to get the exact ingredients of the gold tonic,
00:25:22.960
whether it's in a PDF form or a video recorded by myself, showing you step-by-step how to do it.
00:25:28.680
From there, we have a four-day cleansing program.
00:25:38.940
That's what you've been doing for the last year.
00:25:44.120
I was like, okay, all right, that was easy enough.
00:25:48.420
Somebody said to me one time, what do you have to do to get healthy, do you think?
00:25:51.800
And I was like, my experience is I don't have to do too much.
00:26:01.960
I love him, and he works hard for me every day.
00:26:07.460
So let's talk about your smoothie bar, because I want people to go there too.
00:26:10.280
So if you're in the Toronto GTA area, not only am I on Uber now, so you can order it
00:26:15.080
from Uber and get it directly delivered to you on the day that you purchase it, but you
00:26:19.960
can come to the smoothie bar, have a chat with me.
00:26:21.900
I've got a wonderful range of signature smoothies now, all based on the alkalinity of life.
00:26:27.240
Obviously, I've got a repertoire of other stuff I'll start introducing, but the prototype
00:26:35.640
It's at the booth number F-16 at the Steeles and the flea market over there.
00:26:52.720
And I get to really deliver all across the GTA with having that hub available.
00:26:57.400
And from there, you know, it's the new food movement has begun.
00:27:07.720
A lot of other places and spaces, they scare you into trying their platforms.
00:27:13.720
It's about coming home, home to where life lives, home to where energy resides, home to
00:27:19.120
And it's my greatest honor after many years to present my syllabus and to be on this podcast
00:27:25.200
and to allow people who know that food is medicine to achieve it in a very quick period
00:27:31.500
of time because it took me a hell of a long time to get together.
00:27:38.740
The reason that it was important for me to come on with you and chat about this is because
00:27:46.840
But what I thought was he'll come on here and never even allude to the fact that globally,
00:28:00.440
I've watched the growth of that as people take hold of it.
00:28:04.720
And so it's an honor that you would be able to find the time to come in here because I
00:28:10.280
The smoothie bar is lovely for you, but people are tapping into your brain from all over the
00:28:14.440
world so that we could deliver that to them today was pretty cool.
00:28:24.040
And I wanted to share that with you because I complain about a lot of stuff in life, but
00:28:41.520
And we'll see you here next time on The Daily Canceled.
