time.

So the first day when I walked in there, we had to get searched when we walked in just to make sure we weren't bringing in any drugs because it would cut into the drug trade from the security guys there from the guards.

So we get in there and I had to walk down this long thing with a chain link fence on either side and there's guys shooting up heroin.

Right there.

Right there.

And I looked at my friend.

I'm like, I'm terrified.

Can't be absorbed.

But first of all, can we start off by just explaining a little bit about your journey that led to you setting up Patriox?

Well, first off, I've always been interested in health from a very early age.

I was a gymnast and an athlete, a skier, and so on and so forth.

And throughout high school, people used to always come to me for health-related questions because I was constantly studying.

And then I grew up, I got married, had kids, and then I got... a health scare.

And it was quite a scare.

I was a very busy person with my husband.

It's normal life.

[laughs]

But I tend to come out the other end okay.

Even I'll get myself into the weeds and break down a little bit, but in the end, I always persist, and I come out the other end.

So with that being said, I have done so many different things in my life.

And like you said, we wanna have the F word in here, the fun word.

I used to be a stand-up comedian, and because I love making people laugh and I love m- laughing myself.

It's one of my first loves.

Sure

Of course, Teresa, I want you to have an opportunity to say hello to everybody and maybe just tell us a little bit about you and what's brought you here today.

Well, okay.

Thanks, Cody.

I'm super happy to be here today.

What brought me here today? Well, my story is kind of...

kind of diverse and wonderful and horrible and then wonderful again.

So I was married way back when to a wonderful guy.

And so it's all really just comes down to this kind of simple reminder of how important true oxygenation is,

What happened during your cancer scare that completely changed your perspective on health and performance?

My God.

Well, I was always in super fit.

Like I was a personal trainer for many years.

I was, when I was younger, I was a gymnast, a skier, all of that stuff.

And then all of a sudden I have cancer.

And it's like, holy crap, I have to sit in bed for, you know, months and months not being able to do anything.

all about every single solitary thing that I could learn

you mind just kind of sharing what your life looked like before being diagnosed? Yeah.

Yes.

Well, I was married.

I had three kids, young kids at the time.

And my husband and I were running 48 different companies.

48? Plus raising the kids and...

Yes, it was crazy.

So then you had matter coming out into your pelvis and your abdomen from your intestines? Yes.

This is the science behind actually liquid oxygen, correct?

Correct.

It's drinkable oxygen.

It's not oxygenated infused water at all.

It's different than the supplemental oxygen that people are using.

Now, the problem today is that people are suffering from a lack of oxygen in their cells.

and they don't even know it.

that he made this discovery?
