For some, hitting rock bottom marks the end of their dreams. For others, it is the springboard they need to mark a new beginning. We all face obstacles and setbacks in life. Some of them are easily shaken, while others shake us straight to our core. But even when all seems lost, we have a choice to make: either own up to our mistakes and learn the lessons life has in store for us, or ignore all the signs, refuse to evolve, and wade deeper into trouble until we reach rock bottom. Today's guest on The I Heart My Life Show, Daniel Mangena, is one of those rare people who always manages to bounce back stronger and more aligned with their mission than ever before. He is a coach, speaker, best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and all-round problem-solver who uses both his life experience and his signature Beyond Intention Paradigm to help others live an abundant, joyful, and purpose-driven life. Growing up, Dan knew with absolute certainty that he would become a millionaire. His unshakeable self-belief led him to making his first million dollars when he was just 19 years old—but his first business ended up crumbling just as quickly as it was built. He shook it off and pressed on, but when the same thing happened again for the second time, he knew it was time to pause and reflect. There's no denying it was a painful process. But rather than knocking him down, hitting rock bottom ended up being exactly the wake-up call he needed to transform his life—and what led him to help thousands of other people do the same. Having recently gone through my own process of realignment with my life and my vision, I know firsthand how debilitating those low points can feel. But just like Dan, I know that when we listen to what the Universe is telling us, and decide to persevere despite all the setbacks in our way, the difficult moments end up serving not only our personal growth, but also our communities. I have so much respect and admiration for the way Dan held his head high in the face of tremendous setbacks, and how openly and vulnerably he speaks about his experiences with depression and suicidal thoughts in this episode. I was deeply moved hearing his backstory, and I know that it will inspire you to believe in yourself unconditionally, forget what others think or say and focus on paving your own path, and push past even the most fatal-seeming obstacles in your way. TW: This episode contains conversations about depression and suicide. In This Episode: Dan shares the story behind his success, from rock bottom to self-made millionaire Lessons he learned by building and losing a million-dollar business Why you need both limitless self-belief AND practical knowledge and experience to run a successful business What Dan wishes he knew before he started his first business Dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts as an entrepreneur How he bounced back from rock bottom after losing his second business The steps he took to rebuild both his life and his business Why growing and utilizing your network matters How to stop caring what others think and say, and focus on living your best life Why abundance is really our birthright Quotes: “A lot of what I practice and share with people is life experiences. I didn't pull any of it out of my hat. I didn't become a thought leader because I wanted to make more money or be famous. I was pulled to doing this because the universe showed me that one of the reasons why I'd gone through this steep learning curve was so that other people don't have to.” - Dan Mangena “I just woke up and realized that I actually love life. I still get the onset of depression wanting to be a part of my life. I still get imposter syndrome. I still ask myself sometimes, is this all nonsense? Am I making it all up? But the cool thing is, no, it's not. Here's the evidence. Look at what you've achieved. Look at the change that you make in people's lives. And that just reinforces me staying on track. So there was no magic moment. It kind of just folded into becoming what I do now with confidence.” - Dan Mangena “People are running away from their own problems or, having given up on their own dreams, are wanting to keep you paying small because they didn't play big. Are you going to let that hold you back from living your best life?” - Dan Mangena “When nature is left to its own devices, it's always abundant. Everything moves in harmony and takes care of everything else. And it has everything that it needs. When we step into true flow, when we're living out our purpose, when we are adding, instead of trying to take away, we enter into that harmony. All of our needs are always taken care of, opportunities and resources come, and that connection shows up. Everything always clicks into place. As long as we are open to being in alignment with the flow of that naturally occurring abundance, it is ours for the taking.” - Dan Mangena Links & Resources: Follow the I Heart My Life Show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-heart-my-life-show/id1569047758 Subscribe to the I Heart My Life Show on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/1Zw6fI37FrfVjZMXlMiZZ6 Connect with Daniel: Visit His Website https://dreamwithdan.com/ Daniel on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dreamerceo Connect with Emily: I Heart My Life Website https://www.iheartmylife.com/ I Heart My Life on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/iheartmylife/ I Heart My Life on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/iheartmylifenow I Heart My Life on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/i-heart-my-life/ https://www.iheartmylife.com/newsletter Join the IHML community to receive exclusive announcements and tips.

And that's one of the main reasons why we like apartments.” – Dan Hanford “I will say that the thing that really helped me early on, to be able to achieve the level of success that I had, even today, as I continue to grow, is getting out of my own mind and thinking that I can do everything better than everybody else, because I still to this day, have that problem.” – Dan Hanford “With an apartment syndication business, you always have to be looking for two different things. And to always be finding the investors — the money, you always have to be finding the next deal, you have to have both of them going on at the same time.” “I never, I never want my investors to feel like I need their money.” “One of the things that I also suggest for active syndicators to do is make sure that you have more than just an email to be able to communicate with your investors.” “One of the other unique things that we do that I have not seen too many operators do, which we have found lots of success with, is, we take our investment offering memorandum. And we actually print it up. And we will mail it to every single one of our investors that is on our email, on our newsletter list.” Connect with Dan Hanford: www.passiveinvesting.com LinkedIn Facebook YouTube Connect with Dave Dubeau: Property Profits Podcast www.davedubeau.com www.investorattractionworkshop.com Facebook LinkedIn Enjoyed the Podcast?

Dan Johnson is a husband, father, and founder of the website New Paths. During his younger years, Dan was introduced to pornography by a friend. As he got older, the addiction intensified. During his college years, Dan used the internet as a way of accessing porn and felt the guilt and shame of his actions. Before Dan got married, he told his then girlfriend that he was addicted to pornography. After the couple got married, they implemented filters on their devices to prevent him from falling into temptation. Unfortunately, he was unable to resist, and he fell off the wagon again. Once Dan realized that he had to make a change, he joined a peer group to keep him accountable. With any addiction, it can be easy to fall back into temptation and continue the cycle. However, having a sense of community drives you to be better and helps you to understand that you are not alone. With porn especially, comes a great amount of guilt and shame. What Dan has done is implemented a three-step process that helps you recognize those urges, process them, and actively count the reps of your resistance. The action of recognizing the urges, saying them out loud, and then counting each rep that you resisted the urge to watch porn has allowed Dan and many other men to overcome their addiction.

This episode comes with a warning: If you're not interested in being inspired, then don't tune in!

Dan Leshem has over 10 years of experience leading various products in a variety of companies and fields. He wrote his first line of code at the age of 14, and has not stopped writing ever since. He is the co-founder and CEO of Plantt. He's been leading products in various industries for over 10 years, an entrepreneur at heart, and he's now setting himself a goal to make Customer Experience better than before. Questions Could you tell us a little bit about your journey, how it is that you got to where you are today and maybe share with us a bit about your company Plantt, what does not really do? What has your experience been in customer experience, especially since the pandemic? Are there any trends that you've seen across industries? And how does your platform help customers to navigate their customer experience or brands to navigate their customer experience? What industry do you specifically specialize in or is it for all different industries? What are two or three top things that you think banks need to focus on as it relates to Artificial Intelligence, but also ensuring that they're blending the human aspect of that into their customer experience because technology is great. But I still think that we need to have some human component attached to the technology. What are your thoughts on that? What are some of the bottlenecks that you found customer experience teams have been experiencing, especially since the pandemic? Could you share with us maybe one or two things that you think companies need to focus on in order to deliver a fantastic customer experience? What's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? Could you share with us maybe one or two books that have had the biggest impact on you? Can you share with us maybe something that's going on in your life that you're really excited about - either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people? Where can our listeners find you online? Highlights Dan’s Journey Dan shared that Plantt helps companies elevate their customer experience with AI (Artificial Intelligence) they help them find bottlenecks in their customer service, customer support, and then automate what they can without losing that personalized experience. But before we dive into what Plantt, Dan shared that customer experience is very close to his heart mostly as a customer, this is how he ended up funding a start-up in that space. He as a customer, he had several not ideal experiences both with human and chatbot representative. So, this is where 2 years ago he started thinking about how to change and what he can do to solve challenges in this space. How Does the Platform Help Organizations Navigate Their Customer Experience Dan shared that the pandemic had a tremendous effect on customer experience because overnight companies really had to shift their strategy about customer experience and customer support. They had not only surge increasing in demand and in volume indicating and support and communication with the customers. But also they had logistic problem, they had to work remotely and Call Centres were shutting down. So in his experience, as they work with companies, with their customers, they had to embrace technologies overnight. That was fascinating. During the pandemic in the first outbreak in March, they had customers running at them and just starting implementation of AI and automation to their customer experience. So that was very interesting to see. He thinks now companies are re-evaluating their strategies about customer experience and how they can embrace automation as part of their strategy. So it's going to be very interesting to see in the upcoming months to see how these things are developed. Me: So, Plantt is an organization that will help you to improve on customer support in terms of, you will field telephone calls, handle support tickets, chats and that kind of stuff. And you do it for different types of organization. What industry do you specifically specialize in or is it for all different industries? Industries that Plantt Specializes In Dan shared that their platform is industry agnostic, but they mainly work with e-commerce and SaaS companies and financial services companies. These are the main three industries they're focused on. Me: Okay, great. In terms of the financial companies let’s say for example, for a bank. Tell me some of the things that maybe two or three top things that you think banks need to focus on as it relates to Artificial Intelligence, but also ensuring that they're blending the human aspect of that into their customer experience because technology is great. But I still think that we need to have some human component attached to the technology. What are your thoughts on that? Things that Banks Need to Focus on and Also Blend the Human Aspect into their Customer Experience Dan stated that he definitely agree with your what Yanique said. He thinks that what we see is that companies are running towards automation. And we had this hype of chatbots a few years ago where everybody was talking about chatbots, but then chatbots just didn't deliver on their promise, although it's great. We all had a bad experience with chatbots. And Yanique is right. There was a missing, that personalized feeling there or that human touch. So, he thinks companies before they go towards automation or chatbot, first they have to understand what their customers are really asking for, what they really want, way before they are run into automation. The language understanding technology these days is quite good. But you have to understand really what it is that your customers really want from you. And then you have to know what can be automated and what must be deal with more empathy and still require your support to intervene. Me: So, basically as an organization you have to identify that not every aspect of your business is going to need full technology and automation or even some form of artificial intelligence. Bottlenecks that Customer Experience Teams are Experiencing Since the Pandemic Dan shared that if we can take for example, e-commerce companies, there was a lot of interference in the supply chain. So, they had like thousands of inquiries about delivery delays and people concerning about the delivery because of the pandemic. So, they were able to identify trends that and they also as part of their platform, they also analyze the sentiment. So, they were actually analyzing trends of people worried about COVID and they were able to see that companies that were supporting, that were adding some empathy in their answers to the customer, the conversation was that there was satisfaction at the end of the conversation was way higher. So, bottlenecks they see, delivery delays. Things that Companies Need to Focus on to Deliver Fantastic Customer Experience Dan shared that the first thing they have to do is to understand what their customers are asking, what really keeps their customers busy because many customer experience directors and many companies have an intuition about what is it that their customers really want from them. And there is that misconception where many people say customers want to speak with humans, they want to speak with customer support representatives. And therefore, we cannot automate; we cannot deliver great customer experience and also automate the customer experience and they think that’s wrong. People don't want to necessarily speak with humans, but they want to get the job done, they want for their problem to be solved. So, we need to understand what is the problem that we have to solve for our users, for our customers, and then focus on that. And in some cases, it can be automated and there are tools that can give you the insights about what these problems are. And in some cases, there is still need for human to intervene in the process. Me: So basically, you need to find out what a problem is, what solution, what problem are you really trying to solve for the customer? And I guess for each customer that's different and then you need to use tools to understand if they're actually being resolved. Dan mentioned that also, especially after the pandemic, because, we are entering in to a more dynamic, he would say, a dynamic era where in customer experience, where you would have to as an organization, you would have to navigate between multiple channels to deliver great customer experience because before the pandemic maybe you had, for example, retailer. You had customers reaching out to your store, now everything is shifted to online. And then you would have to embrace like messaging channels for the millennials and for Gen X, you would have to embrace voice channels like Alexa. So, it's going to be way more dynamic, in his opinion. App, Website or Tool that Daniel Absolutely Can’t Live Without in His Business When asked about an online resource that he cannot live without in his business, Dan shared that that's a great question. For him it's loom, when the pandemic hit and we all switch to remote work, they were starting using loom. Me: Is it similar to Asana or one of those platforms that you can basically communicate with your team and share projects and that kind of stuff? Dan shared that it's a really simple app that lets you record your screen while you speak and then you can send the recording to one of your teammates. And so, it's really helpful when you're not working in the same office, you can just share with your co-worker and it saves them a lot of hours. Me: I imagine because you're dealing with such technical stuff, it makes it easier for the persons who you're sharing information with. Book That Have Had the Greatest Impact on Dan Dan jokingly asked if she wants the real answer or the smart answer. So, the real answer is, Harry Potter. When he was young, he fell in love with the series. And this is actually how he got into entrepreneurship and in building products in general because he started like a fan club website, this is the first website he ever built. So, it has a great impact on him. What Dan is Really Excited About Now! Dan shared that when they started Plantt over a year ago, they didn't know where they were going to be with this and it's really exciting to see how they help companies learn what their customers really want from them and being actually the voice of customers. So it's really exciting. They didn't start as an inside platform for companies, they started as just as a simple chatbot platform. But then when they moved forward, they learned about the importance of designing the experience and keeping the experience personalized. So, it's really exciting for them to work with their customers, with their design partners and investors.

What is crowdfarming and how can it facilitate investments in sustainable farming? Dan Miller, founder and CEO of crowdfarming platform (TM) Steward, joins us today to talk about crowdfarming, exactly what it means, and how he implements it to best service his clients and farms. When asked about what inspired him to start Steward, Dan cites an interaction with a well-known chef in his hometown of Washington D.C. where he mentioned the difficulties facing independent farmers that supplied his restaurant. The more specialized the farms were, the harder it was to get a loan. Dan felt that instead of forcing farmers to fit within a box, it should be the other way around. So he committed himself to creating a system that empowers farmers to steward their land sustainably, with consumers—the people with the most to gain from sustainable farming—investing in their success. You’ll hear: How the idea of Steward was conceived 1:24 What Dan was doing before Steward 2:24 How a farmer can apply for a loan with Steward 5:02 What Steward does after the farm has been funded 7:26 How Steward reaches investors 10:31 What kind of vetting a farmer should do when looking for a lender 11:57 What criteria Steward seeks when vetting farmers for loans 14:11 What systems Dan wishes farmers would put into effect sooner 18:16 How Dan chooses the right team members for Steward 21:46 The biggest mistake Dan sees newer farmers making 26:12 What farmers should avoid during their first year of farming 29:32 How Dan feels about the opportunities in starting a farm now 30:23 Where you can learn more about Dan and Steward 33:45 About the Guest:Dan Miller is the Founder and CEO of Steward, the world’s first crowdfarming platform™. Steward enables people to invest directly in sustainable farms. Through Steward, responsible investors can earn projected returns while transforming agriculture, by equipping sustainable farmers with the capital they need to grow. Unlike traditional funding methods, Steward’s crowdfarming model creates a healthy yield for both farmers and investors: farmers purchase land and equipment, and investors earn projected returns while making a positive impact. Steward combines Dan’s background in investment crowdfunding, real estate, and technology with his passion for agriculture, stemming from his maternal family, which has been farming on the Eastern Shore of Maryland since the 1880s.

With the world in its current state, it’s hard to remain positive. But to survive, we have to continue to find the beauty however we can and be inspired by the good. Our guest today, Dan Ubick, is not only an extraordinarily talented musician, but he is also a shining light in these dark times. As a producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, Dan grew up with music. His father was a jazz bassist, and his mom listened to the Beatles and classical music while designing jewelry. Dan’s sister introduced him to hip hop, and the rest is history. With an impressive discography, Dan has worked with everyone from De La Soul to Big Daddy Kane to Method Man. In this episode, we talk about Dan’s incredible musical journey. As someone who values friendships and connections, they have always opened up great opportunities for him. We also do a deep dive into the world of hip hop, and Dan and host Sourdough share their experiences of discovering the genre and the impact that it had on them. Listening to hip hop was a formative experience for both of them. They learned about new worlds and issues they'd not been exposed to before. They also discuss how the foundation of hip hop is being diluted, which they attribute to the kind of capitalist society we live in. It has become about growing wealth at whatever cost, rather than remaining true to a message. Dan and Sourdough extend this discussion by touching on politics and the harsh capitalist message being spread today. The world is growing increasingly unkind to many, while a select few benefit disproportionately. Along with this, we also talk about the importance of acknowledging those who came before you, why creating with integrity is more important than being famous, and the many activities that Dan is up to. We loved having Dan on the show, and we already can’t wait to have him back. Be sure to tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: How Man One and Sourdough are holding up during coronavirus.

What Sourdough and Dan listen to on Apple Music and what they’re most excited about. Insights into Sourdough’s musical journey and how he discovered hip hop.

Early hip hop’s influence on culture has been unprecedented. Why Dan feels like the message and purpose of hip hop is continually being diluted. It's so important to learn from those who came before you and understand history. Dan’s vision for 2020 and how he always remains as positive as he is. What Dan and Sourdough feel about Trump and the message that he’s propagating. The engine of capitalism is corrupting society at large as well as art.

Today’s conversation is with Dan Davidowitz and Jeff Mueller of Polen Capital, which is a firm that is dedicated to researching and analyzing the highest-quality companies around the globe and investing for the long haul and with a business owner’s mindset. Dan is the co-head of the Large Company Growth Team and the lead portfolio manager of the firm’s flagship Focus Growth strategy. Jeff is co-portfolio manager of the Global Growth strategy and earned his MBA from Columbia Business School, where he was a graduate with honors and distinction of the Value Investing Program. This episode is our third recording since the coronavirus health crisis, and we have kept doing it remotely. Since Spring Break, Columbia Business School has gone fully online and I am absolutely in awe of how the school has been able to pivot to this new format almost seamlessly and we owe this to the terrific people who have been working tirelessly throughout this challenging period and who deserve all our appreciation. My goal with these episodes is to bring guests on who can help us navigate the investment environment and the enormous uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of the virus, which in my opinion is far from clear. I believe our listeners should be focusing on a rigorous, bottom-up approach or on funds that practice a bottom-up approach that is resilient to a variety of scenarios.

Connecting CFOs with Dan Wells Dan Wells is talking to us about connecting CFOs. He founded two collaborative portals: growcfo and growceo. He's spent 20 years as an advisor to lots of high-growth, entrepreneurial businesses. Additionally, he was an equity partner in a big four firm. Now, he's making his own path with his new venture. Entrepreneurial spirit Dan's passion has always been to become an entrepreneur. His family have had experiences as entrepreneurs' as a result, he wanted to follow suit. When Dan was younger, his parents worked hard with a catering equipment company. He used to spend his time keeping out of trouble by helping deliveries to local businesses. Also, his uncle ran a successful catering business. Looks like being a business professional runs in the blood! Connecting CFOs with portals http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Portal.mp4 How do you connect CFOs through portals? What's the business idea? When Dan looks at a lot of the tech businesses that have done well, he sees that entrepreneurs apply technology to a good skillset in order to create their own business. It's a great business model to apply technology to field which you are passionate about and already have a solid network in. What Dan's done is get some software and joined with a tech company in order to create a big collaboration zone. That way, there can be a great platform for shared ideas and resources. In fact, this is how Dan and Kevin met! They connected on LinkedIn and Dan offered Kevin a place on the CFO portal. Once you get into the portal, you set up a profile and then you would have access to all the content and you can message any other members. You can either use the different threads of the information that has been posted; or you can filter all of the content according to what is most relevant to you. For Dan, it's about making what's relevant to people. You can get lost information overload and so this service gets people in front of a community and the information you want. He provides support. Where did it start? What Dan has found is that people can often be lonely and isolated within their roles. They try find solutions themselves and get their head down. Invariably, they waste a lot of time and cost. What Dan encourages them to do is find others in similar situations and try and learn from the things they have worked out. This also applies to learning from their mistakes too! It sort of links to our conversation with Engel Jones - sharing our experiences can be such a powerful thing. The portal that's set up at the moment is purely online. Dan and his team were keen to get a good number of members so there was a solid critical mass in each location. He has about 1000 members now, which means they have enough people with common interest to start thinking about events and getting people together face-to-face. Income http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Income.mp4 With gathering people together, there are lots of opportunities for generating income. However, the importance is to maintain and manage the user experience of the portals. It needs to be an attractive place for users to come to. Dan's recently departed the world of big organisations. He left back in June last year. Since then it's been a rapid journey and the uptake of the portals have been really high. What's really encouraging is the level of referrals - it's a big indicator of how people are finding the user experience. USPs for connecting CFOs http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Different-from-LinkedIn.mp4 Chief Executive Officers It's not just all about numbers. It's about humans as well...isn't that right Kevin?! On a more serious note, what's the difference between CFO and CEO portals? Is there any? To start with, Dan found that the business leaders on the CEO forum were more open and much more likely to post on the forum. Over time, however,

Dan instills that a good amount of research should be done before making a crypto investment and talks about the dishonesty of some projects.

Soul Soil: Where Agriculture and Spirit Intersect with Brooke Kornegay
What happens when you choose quantity over quality, short-term over long-term, uniform and shelf-stable over regional and flavorful, over and over for decades? Many things...including loss of genetic diversity, loss of soil fertility and soil life, and loss of nutrients in food. Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years, and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association, an 8 year old non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density” globally, Dan has worked to make the connections between plant health, soil health, carbon sequestration, crop nutritional value, flavor and human health. The Bionutrient Food Association has engineered the Bionutrient Meter, a hand held consumer spectrometer that is designed to test crop nutrient density at point of purchase. The strategy is to connect the economic incentives from consumer to grower to drive full system regeneration. The answer is so simple...just eating food that tastes good can actually solve many of the world's problems! In This Episode →What conditions in our food system have led to the need for nutrient monitoring? (2:25) →What creates bionutrient-rich food? (6:25) →Your health, your vitality, and the vitality of your children, has a direct correlation to the health of the environment (15:00) →What happens to people when they eat foods with the nutrient levels they are supposed to have? (16:10) →How nutrient-dense food affects our genes and the way they are expressed (epigenetics) (22:30) →Physicists tell us that 95+% of reality can't be measured with the tools we have, and Eastern traditions tell us we are hard-wired to perceive on levels other than the physical plane (26:00) →The more our bodies are built the way they were intended (with the nutrient "tools" we are supposed to access), the more subtle awareness we will be able to perceive...affecting everything in our culture, including the decisions we make (27:50) →Dan's story of how he arrived at this work (30:30) →Plants grown well are not only more nutritious, but they will sequester far more carbon than plants grown poorly (38:00) →The Strategy: connect this understanding of crop quality, environmental health, and human health to money, a driving force that determines much of what happens in the world (40:15) →Enter the handheld spectrometer, a tool that empowers the consumer to determine a food's nutrient value at point of purchase (41:00) →Building the database of fruit and vegetable nutrient values (46:15) →What Dan does to center, ground, and feed his soul (52:00) →What book he turns to for inspiration (54:00) Resources →Dharana Darshan by Swami Paramahamsa Niranjanananda →The Bionutrient Association: bionutrient.org →Dan will be a featured speaker at the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association's Sustainable Agriculture Conference in Durham, NC Nov. 1-3

Dr. Dan Pompa is one of my favorite guys to hang with. Hailing from Park City, Utah, he is considered to be an icon in the alternative health and wellness industry, traveling across the country educating practitioners, chiropractic docs and the general public on the root causes of inflammation driven diseases such as Weight Loss Resistance, Hypothyroid, Diabetes, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Autoimmune Disorders and other chronic conditions. He's especially smart and well-educated when it comes to fasting, ketosis and detoxification: three topics we tackle on today's show (Pompa was also a guest on ). He received his Bachelor of Science from the University of Pittsburgh and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University, graduating second in his class. His authority today, however, is rooted in his own personal battle, having overcome serious neurotoxic illness and heavy metal poisoning using the cellular detoxification strategies learned in his journey back to health.
