Nicholas Perricone

I was invited to the United Nations, to the special chamber of the United Nations for a science and, and wealth summit.

I sat beside, uh, Dr. Perricone, uh, and Steve Forbes.

You know, Steve Forbes was there to talk about wealth, and I'm there to talk about science.

And when Dr. Perricone heard me share, he wanted to partner with me on his hydrogen water company.

He said, "Oh my gosh, no one in the world knows the science that you're talking about." He said, "We need to partner." He said, "I've already put $10 million into this hydrogen water, and I'll partner with you." And I just smiled at him and put my hand on his shoulder and said, uh, "Dr.

Perricone, there's nothing magical about your water.

You know, your water's not gonna penetrate a cell any better than tap water.

It's not the water.

And so it is great to be able to target

What I loved about Dr. Perricone, I used to watch him on HGTV when I had cancer.

So I would just watch like, not BBS, I mean, I would just watch like, and Dr. Perricone always used to say the first indication of disease is inflammation, inflammation, inflammation.

So then I started thinking, because I had too much time to lie in bed, that every skin condition is kind of like an inflammatory response, right? We think of hyperpigmentation or irritation or any skin disorder inflammatory response.

And then my brain was like, well, hold on.

there's unfortunately there's no way around it right we live very very unnatural stressful lives and we have no choice because this is what we especially me I was trained to do I've been working since I was 14 years old my first job was in a shoe shop and growing a business and growing a family and all of that and but I think what's happened is is that we have become more mindful at least So we want to make sure that what we're eating and what we're putting on our skin is as clean as possible.

Because I was high as a kite when I was having chemo, but I was watching PBS.

When I go back to the old Perricone videos, and he was talking about what was in the salmon, when it's not toxic, and also the anti-inflammatory, he was talking about the minerals and the vitamins, and also the anti-inflammatory vegetables, you know, the dark leafy green and the berries.

First of all, pistachio nuts.

You should actually be carrying those around wherever you go because Dr. Nicholas Perricone, that's his name, he writes a book about people with diabetes, and he says if you have your protein first...

Before you eat any other part of your meal, that will control the sugar level.

So carry those nuts around, and before you eat anything else, have those first.

How did peptides become the sort of solve or the perceived solve for great skin, muscle tone, energy? Suddenly, I remember, now this is topical, but 20 years ago, Neutrogena is putting copper peptides in their cream, and it was exciting.

Dr. Perricone is putting peptides, you know, peptides.

Peptides have been a thing forever.

I started talking about something.
