I didn't think it'd be like renting a space, turning the

key.

You're not doing this out of your garage at home.

So the difference between these different pharmacies that are utilized in the industry On the compounding side, you have two level of pharmacies.

You have one that's called a 503A, which is regulated at the state level.

When it comes to compliance with that, there's a lot of testing that has to be done on the products before they're dispensed.

Now, 503A was created for it to be patient specific.

um so the second book kind of walk us through what

You know, what does that look like in terms of the illness? Is it someone with diabetes, hypertension and, you know, What's the cause for them continuing to come back? I want to dive a little deeper into the problem and how you guys can solve it.

Yeah, I mean, to answer it straight on, it's lifestyle, right? Lifestyle needs to be addressed.

What you're putting into your body, what you're being exposed to, your environment, right? Things that can affect your overall cellular health, you know, any kind of toxins, toxic foods, things of that nature.

But, you know, really the problem in today's medical world that we live in it you know I don't even want to call it a broken medical system right because this medical system is working the way it was designed yeah to keep people sick right and on a business standpoint you know like if I owned the medical system it'd be fantastic I'd be very well yeah so You know, we don't focus on root cause medicine to figure out what the root cause is.

We work in this, what I call a algorithmic pharmaceutical driven system.

What does that mean? Algorithmic pharmaceutical driven system.

You go to your regular doctor, right? Medical assistant takes your blood pressure.

What do you tell people like that?

I want to start with who was Sammy Tejada before Liquivita? I want to start with your journey and how we got to where we are today.

Oh, Sammy Tejada before Liquivita.

So that was the guy that really was trying to figure himself out to have that most rewarding job.

And that Sammy Tejada was firefighter paramedic Sammy Tejada, who worked for in the world of emergency medicine here in South Florida.

I worked for Oakland Park Fire Rescue in Broward County, and I did that for 12 years.

I started in the fire department when I was 20, retired when I was 32.

And the reason I retired is because Liquivita took off.

Tell me a little bit more about that.

What are some of the, well, first of all, how do toxins make us fat? And then secondly, like what are the biggest things that we can do right now to eliminate our toxic load?

Yeah, so toxins affect your overall health.

If you talk to some of the expert physicians that are out there, they'll actually tell you that toxins is the reason for disease formation.

So what ends up happening, it's a DNA adduct that basically connects to certain genes in your body and changes that gene expression.

So I'll give you an example of that.

So for example, you have too much suppressing genes inside of your body that should always be on.

So what ends up happening is if a tumor starts to develop, those tumor suppressing genes are supposed to suppress that tumor so it doesn't become larger, becomes cancerous, and then it could potentially die.

So
