It gives you an idea of what you are excreting as a baseline versus chelation. With a urine test, all you are going to see is that you pee out more metals taking a chelation agent. You can speculate on what metals you have more of, but it really is not an indicator of what is stored in your organs. You can mostly just use it to see if it is working or not. That isn't a very good reason to take a larger dose of a chelation off the bat in my opinion.

I imagine if the guy was missing a leg as a kid he would be more successful, than most people still.

I am looking to build out something similar in terms of site appeal. The devin Nash content is really good so far. I will see what I can learn here. I am not quite at that level, but once I establish myself more that would be a possibility for sure. Not to mention some of the people I work with will have potential of being recruited by these teams. I looked into the 100 thieves coach and it would take me a good bit to get there. The guy has like some super high degree and a good bit of prestige. I don' really think a degree matters so much. I think people mostly just want the results. I have considered a degree, but I am very scared of the idea of being 100k in debt. I would potentially pursue natural medicine. This is something that I can do. I have over two years of toastmaster experience and I can perform well doing this kind of stuff. I will see what my clients want and build out from that. I have one potential deal for four clients, but I am kind of at a stand still with it. I am wanting to really build up a nice display of what I can offer. One or two deals like this would be crazy. I would drop the reselling if I have a bit of diversification with my clients. -
I am running my reselling business primarily and I am starting out a coaching business. With the coaching business I can really see that this is the opportune time to strike in the niche that I want. I have a huge advantage of connections and could potentially work with some well known clients in that industry. I am still in the midst of getting my coaching together, but luckily I have been deep into health stuff for about 4 years. It is hard for me to allocate enough energy into this that I would like. I am nearing the peak season for my main business for reselling, so I need to be out buying a lot of inventory and listing it for sale. It is also a opportune season to start getting ready in the niche I want to build in at the same time. I am planning to bulk up my reselling business and I want to liquidate it between quarter 4 and quarter 1. My goal is to be able to move to a new city and start exploring life more. I would really like to get my coaching business to even make 1-2k a month, but right now it isn't making anything yet. My expenses are fairly low and I could probably pay them without too much effort reselling, but I really need to bulk up my cash to be able to move. Not to mention to have a decent cushion, when I move. With the coaching that feels like I am definitely in the right direction with my life purpose. I have done a shit load of work to get to this over the last 4-5 years. It is something that I am considering doing for the long haul. It opens up a lot of questions on what I should be doing. Am I not playing it smart by keeping at the reselling? If I skip this sourcing season, I will probably have to get a job or something to even be able to move out. I think if I play it smart that I could save up maybe $20k from selling everything at the end if I did put consistent effort here. Maybe more if I only did that and just went hard at it. This is like the only thing that I am really good at this point to make money. I am trying to put in the extra work, but I am just struggling a bit to have the extra energy to keep up with everything. Once a week I will do 10 hours straight of sourcing inventory and that really taxes me for the weekend.

Right now one of the main things I am doing is selling vacuum parts. I am still honing this down, but I think you are right here. I just need to tighten the ship even more. I have a few other categories I am in just for the fact I cannot just get vacuum parts. I have to travel about an hour to get to a good sourcing location. I think you are right about not having to fully leave. If I were to start all over again, I would do used clothes on a small scale. Clothes are all over the place and don't require as much of a hunt to find. It would give me the most repeatable process and I could just hone in on that. I don't know that category though right now, so I was thinking about just sticking mostly with what I know this summer. I am always learning new stuff though and learning my categories better. I am working with esports professionals on how to reach peak performance and optimal health. It is specific to health coaching, but I could offer some life coaching with it later potentially. A lot of the clients I would be working with have 100k+ in the bank. These clients make more than the average person. I have been racking my mind a lot of what I should really charge. I know I can get people great results and I am only getting better. I really would like $150 a session honestly, but $100 would be fine and that is a one hour session. I would be doing some research on the back end, but I would want to do that anyway. I really want repeat long term customers. I thought about doing it cheaper, but the reality is that I am only going to get better. There is really not a lot of people that can offer the kind of results that I have. I suppose I worry about just getting those first few initial clients. I feel like if I can even get one good testimonial from someone in this field it would be a total game changer for me. I would honestly be ecstatic to be making a couple thousand a month doing this. I would like to earn a lot of money, but I suppose I am unsure at this time on how to leverage this further. I think the $100-$150 is a realistic price. I think there is really like 50-100 potential clients in this. I can go for other games or things later too though. I am basically a biohacking coach. I will have to think of the wordage that fits this better to this. I actually had the idea to do that a few summers ago, which would have been pretty good if I followed up with it. I agree it isn't a bad idea. I am just not sure how much more energy I can put into this. I am just not as excited as I use to be. I like sourcing, but the rest of it is a bit of a grind. I don't think I could handle adding anything on top. I want to reduce this more. Honestly, my income is pretty meh from this. It isn't terrible, but nothing to brag about lol. I would have to work my ass off to make 6 figures doing this. I am more in the 20-30k net range. I don't have anything too impressive here. I think this year it will be better, but still. I need to figure out a better process to improve this. This year I have changed a lot with it though, so I think it will a fair bit better. -

@Yarco Thank you so much for all of the tips for this. This is really going to speed up my learning curve for doing this. I will have some time this week to really get it going. -
I am going to be working on a building a website for my health coaching business. I've never made a website. Before I hop into guides on building one, I figured some of you have a good amount of experience here. Is it hard to embed videos into a site? I mainly want to make one video to pitch the service, then some testimonial videos as I get them. I would like to be able to easily edit it. Where is the best place to buy a domain? What kind of hosting is best, or who is the best provider? Is there any traps I should look out for? What kind of skills would be worth learning to manage and maintain the site? Are the pre-built kind of sites the best route for my situation?

I did not do any testing. However, I read some books and did a lot of research on symptoms. Doing the gut protocol from that originally made me feel good actually for once. However, I ended up having to cure my sibo. After curing the sibo I later did a similar liver protocol to the one in the book. It made me feel great. My body is much more able to process foods and chemicals. I am much more sensitive to some things as well. So I would need less of a compound to get a desired effect. I would guess my liver and other processes being less overwhelmed has helped. My digestion is significantly better as well. My recovery time is also much better. The gut protocol there may or may not work for you. If you are testing negative for sibo, then I would give it a shot. I will likely do this protocol once a year as well.
-
Yes, it would require that. I don't know about them or their testing. You can get some insights from some metals testing, but really it is not going to give you the full picture. You cannot test how much metals are in your organs. Yes It took me about a year of focused work on it. I have been working on my health for like 4 years now though overall. I did something similar to the protocol in the book The Toxin Solution By Joseph Pizzorno. That would be a good book to work with. It will help you eliminate toxins from your life and give you a nice 6 week protocol that targets your gut, live, and kidney. One of my favorite books.

Ooof, I just bought my domain with cloudflair. Only $8.57 per year though and no rising cost at least. Great tip though. So if I get the web hosting from bluehost would I want the website builder too? Or would just having the 1 click install of word press cover it?That seems super cheap at $3 per month. Yes please! Also, one thing I noticed on bluehost is that the ssl is for only one year. Is that something you pay extra for later? You mention it is usually free. I don't mind going to the $5 package if need be later to get it. Thanks so much for your write up on this. This has been super helpful. -

@puporing Thank you very much. I think I am going to take the middle route as Yarco suggested as far as making the site. I like the practice better thing you suggested, I will look into that a bit more. -
@mostly harmless I feel it on long term investing. I am not a nay sayer to that. A lot of it could be done without a lot of chasing the hot things. Or just spending large amounts of time. I read a fair amount of books and watched quite a few videos. I have the skill now to invest well, but my investments aren't going that far without me having a solid income. At least in the more important part of my life. I don't care about being a millionaire if I am getting close to death lol.
-
@mostly harmless I mean more so in the fact of how I feel day to day being into all of that. I have made over 10k in profit, but I could have probably just built a more serious business that would have generated a lot more. I am fine with all of that long term stuff, but in the day to day it really doesn't move the needle at my age. Long term investing really doesn't require me to hunt down 5x return stocks.
-
I made some decent money investing. However, the time and mental energy I spent wasn't worth it. It seems like the skill is only useful once you are already pretty wealthy. You can dollar cost average into the s&p 500 and likely out perform most people and hedge funds.

I was looking at some over the ear ones, but didn't get them. For me the wax would get out of hand very quickly too. For me if it is a bit noisy where I live, then I just turn my air filter up to max. I enjoy the noise of the filter for sleep as it is. You might find something like white noise helpful to combat that. I imagine some sound of sound deadening foam could help too. Depends how deep you want to go to solve this lol.
-
I would rather look for some at my landing destination. Just get a test kit. That's a lot of risk, especially for one tab.

Have you done any sort of elimination diet? You mentioned trying low fodmap before, but you could potentially be reacting to what you are eating. This could help you pinpoint potential allergies you might have. I am unsure on all of the testing, but it is worth diving into. With my little sister she had a lot of bad symptoms for years and it took a ton of doctors to diagnose her with celiac disease. It would be worth asking your relatives if anyone has ever had any similar symptoms. Everyone is so different and could be doing the protocol different. If you plan to do it, then I would do it the least aggressive way possible. Small doses and good recovery time. The problem with the metals is there is really no way to test or measure how much are in your organs. So it is not like you could just get a test to diagnose this as the problem. A lot of the literature will make you think every disease comes from heavy metals, so it makes it super confusing. A lot of the things you are saying suggest there is more gut related work to focus on. Depleting your body of essential minerals from chelation could make your situation even worse. So it isn't something that I would be taking lightly. There are a fair amount of accounts of people making their situation worse with ACC. Regardless of what children have done it. If you were insistent on doing it, then I would try out 10 rounds. That should give you an idea of if it might help. However, it is common that people feel some euphoria just starting out, so I wouldn't confuse that with results. Also, keep in mind that most people have to do 50+ rounds really to even get much results. So if it isn't working that is a lot of stress to put on your gut and liver. It can take people years of chelation and some do not get better. Also, none of the compounds in ACC bind to mercury or other toxins and neutralize them. This could cause mercury to move to other places like your central nervous system. For myself, I found that most of my issues were resolved by fixing my gut and detoxing my liver. Plus doing some hardcore elimination diet and curing sibo. I have found that doing some heavy metal chelation has helped with my symptoms now, but 80% of it was gut related. Of course that is just speaking for myself, but at least that gives you an idea of what worked for me.
-
@Vision If you are having gut related issue, then I would put focus on that. If you are planning to chelate heavy metals, then ideally you want a healthy gut, liver, and kidneys. All of those path ways are going to be getting more stress with a chelator. Doing chelation is also going to deplete you of nutrients. Having gut issues is likely going to cause low mineral absorption on top of that. I would personally invest the money into digging deeper with the gut issue. Things like IgE testing or other tests could be crucial here. You talked about sibo before. Have you done a test for sibo?
-
I have seen a handful of people offer it. I have never worked with any of them. I believe Rebecca Rust Lee might offer it. She was a Co-Author of writing The Mercury Detoxification Manual with Andy Cutler. You could find her in the ACC Facebook group. My personal opinion would be to fix the gut issues first. I have not seen anyone overcome that by heavy metal chelation.

Have you ever been to Portland Oregon? I read Austin Texas is a bit similar to there. I was thinking it maybe had a bit of a green vibe there. I like Portland for that. I have been looking into Austin a bit.

I feel for 1000 page hard cover books it can be pretty hard to hold them. So a kindle would be nice for that. I have a gen 3 paperwhite and I really like it. I got it use off ebay. I rarely use it now though. I prefer the physical books, but I would like to try having the physical book with the kindle for big heavy reads. Use the physical to mark things up with, when needed. It would be most ideal for biographies for me as they don't need as much marking.

Maybe just get an extension cord with a surge suppressor, so you can move the desk there. Sitting on a bed is not likely to be remedied much with pillows or other things.

I put in a bid on twitter, but they rejected it.

My life has been really moving in a good direction. I feel like I am really getting some motivation and momentum going in my life. All of this hard self actualization work is paying off. Sure, I am not where I want to be, but things are looking up. I am feeling a lot more in tune with finding a purpose in my life. I feel like my finances are going to be getting much stronger too. I broke things off with my toastmasters group and I have been enjoying a bit of my freedom. I do want to continue to practice speaking, but if I am being honest that is not doing much for me in regular sessions anymore. I would really like to move to a new area and do in person toast masters. I would like to start recording a bit more videos ago too. I think the videos were helping me progress. I just am having such a hard time balancing all of my stuff in my life. It seems like it is either one thing or the other. I need to be consistent and save up my money, but I want to explore things and gain skills. I started working with my first health coaching client and it has been quite fun. I am interested to see how good of results that I can get them. It has really changed my communication a lot more recently too. I realize how much improvement, I need to make. I am geared so much to be a talker, that it makes it hard sometimes. However, I notice people generally just feel a lot better in a conversation if I let them talk a lot. I have been talking with a lot of strangers lately and it has been pretty fun. I get a lot of interesting and fun interactions just by making a small statement to engage with them. I started doing some heavy metal chelation and it seems like it is helping me out a bit so far. I am really interested to see what this could unfold for me in the future.
