“Skip the first 10 minutes because it takes him awhile to get to the topic. Really, the last 20-30 minutes generally holds the most practical advice (sorry, Dude!)
Set it to play faster (1.5 times = perfect)
Accept that Anthony is genuine, unscripted, passionate about his work, good-hearted, feels feelings, and has sort of a manic/ADHD delivery and therefore rambles and repeats himself a lot and goes on rants now and then. Just accept the malaprops, mixed metaphors, and imperfections as part of the charm and entertainment.
Read at least one of his books. Buy, beg, borrow, or steal. His editor, designer, and publisher served him well and the info is efficient, fascinating, readable, organized, and truly worthwhile.
Try to follow the money to test his motivation. I’m cynical and skeptical and always look for the angle. Anthony delivers on promises and works really hard, and I’m just not seeing a get-rich-quick pyramid scheme or advertising dollars beyond book sales (normal, typical) and live appearances (also normal—the guy has to make a living). If this were a polished, big-money operation the production values of this podcast would be WAY slicker, he’d have monied sponsors, celebrity guests, a team of writers, and a high-buck editor/producer would cut all of the rambling and ranting. Anthony says “cookie cutted” (yes, cutted) instead of “sugar coated.” Clearly there’s no production budget. He’s not shilling trademarked products or subscriptions. It’s possible to get everything he offers completely free. None of his nutrition advice will harm you—even if his message is pure bunk you can only improve your health by following it. (But Anthony, if you do get the opportunity to improve production values, I’d be cool with that! 😉)
Actually try his advice- I did, my husband did, and results blew our minds. I stumbled across Anthony’s thyroid book after my doctor told me I’d need to start steroids. Decided to try some lifestyle changes before going down that road. Read a bunch of other thyroid stuff that didn’t seem to apply to me, but the issues and symptoms Anthony described really aligned with my complaints. So I decided to try Anthony’s three-month thyroid detox (more or less; I didn’t follow it perfectly but it was a radical change for me). Wow. Wow. Wow. My wonderful husband did it with me for moral support, and we just couldn’t believe how much better we felt, how much better we looked (constant compliments from our people about our trim figures), and how our brains cleared up. My eyeballs felt better, sleep got better, energy got better, digestion got better, everything got 100% better. I didn’t tell my husband that this program came from a medium—just said I read it in a thyroid book. He’s so delighted with the results and his daily wild blueberry smoothie that he’s staying on the path. (And still doesn’t know it came from a medium!) Cheese & bread lover that I am, I reverted to standard American diet once my three months were up and as soon as I did, my hair started falling out. Eyeballs got gummy and blurry again and had trouble reading computer screens again. Leg, arm, and back tingling again in a bad way. Brain fog came back, along with weight gain and puffiness. Headaches came back. Whether it’s Spirit, common sense, or voices in his head, Anthony’s advice is legit. I’m now getting back to celery juice and passing on the pepperoni pizza. Thanks for sharing your message, Anthony! Keep up the amazing work. Don’t let the haters hurt your feelings. Keep on being you and don’t cookie cut anything for us! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
