Why “healthy” habits might actually keep you sick

Most people don’t fail at getting healthy because they don’t care. They fail because they’re following the wrong advice.

In this episode, I sit down with Anthony William, the Medical Medium, to talk about why doing everything “right” can still leave you feeling like crap. We get into how stress, overtesting, and over-supplementing can backfire, and why simplicity beats every hack.

He shares how metals in the brain can fuel issues like OCD and ADHD, the five foods he swears by for detox and recovery, and why celery juice became more than just a trend. We also talk about what people get wrong about protein, clean eating, and chasing “optimization.”

Whether you love him or question him, this conversation will make you stop and rethink what being healthy really means.

Anthony William is the founder of the global celery juice movement and a #1 New York Times best-selling author known for his Medical Medium book series. Since the age of four, he has said he receives health insights from what he calls the Spirit of Compassion, helping people improve their well-being through a more intuitive approach.
