Why You’re Still Sick: The Root Cause Most Doctors Never Address
When nothing else works, it’s not because you’re broken — it’s because nobody’s been looking in the right place.
In this episode of the You World Order Showcase Podcast, Jill Hart (The Coach’s Alchemist) sits down with Dr. Brad Montagne, a functional medicine expert with over four decades of research and clinical experience helping people reverse chronic illness by addressing root causes, not just symptoms.
You’ll hear why Dr. Brad believes the single most impactful change we can make — personally and collectively — starts with how we eat, and how modern food, chemicals, and lifestyle stressors can quietly wreck digestion, immunity, detox pathways, and overall vitality. He breaks down the gut’s role in healing, why “healthy” food isn’t always clean anymore, and practical ways to find better-quality food in the real world (including what to ask at farmers markets).
If you’ve felt frustrated with the traditional healthcare loop — and you’re ready for a more empowered, whole-body approach — this conversation will give you a fresh lens and a few grounded next steps.

5
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Is that right?
6
::Brad Montagne: Yep.
7
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Okay, Dr. Brad is a passionate caregiver and functional medicine expert with over 4 decades of research, postgraduate study, and clinical experience.
8
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and restoring health to those struggling with chronic illness. His approach goes far beyond traditional care, using in-depth testing and a deep understanding of physiology to uncover the real reasons behind ongoing sickness. Having overcome his own health challenges through faith and science, Dr. Brad now helps others reclaim their vitality and freedom through root cause healing.
9
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Welcome to the show, Dr. Brad. It's great to have you with us.
10
::Brad Montagne: Well, thanks for the invitation. I think this would be a great conversation.
11
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So, let me ask you, what's the most significant thing, in your opinion, as individuals, we can do to make an impact on how the world is going?
12
::Brad Montagne: Change the way you eat.
13
::Brad Montagne: No doubt about it, that's number one. Just change the way that you eat. I've got a book called Healing Lifestyles, it's on GetMeWell.net. It talks about simple lifestyle things that you can actually change your genetic expression.
14
::Brad Montagne: Change your destiny, and start to reclaim your life. It's free, it's on there, leave your email, and you've got a roadmap right there.
15
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's so interesting.
16
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: How we've evolved to a point where we have so many really brilliant people, and all of this medical technology and information out there, and it's really…
17
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's such a basic thing, the idea of Eating.
18
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You know, you can't really live without it, but so many people don't pay any attention to the things that they're adding to their body, and then they wonder why they're…
19
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Not doing well.
20
::Brad Montagne: It's, it's an amazing thing.
21
::Brad Montagne: I was working with somebody years ago who made a statement, I really need to reframe my attitude toward the food that I put into my body. And what's going on with the food industry and everything else, that's an absolute reality.
22
::Brad Montagne: I forget who it was that said, you are what you eat, but it's more than that.
23
::Brad Montagne: Food is our building blocks, and… Or a pants.
24
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, RFK Jr. has made it clear that 70… about 73% of the crops in America are subsidized
25
::Brad Montagne: of all the subsidies, that's… GMO is the wagging dog to keep people off the real issues, the herbicides and pesticides they use to keep those plants growing. They're extremely toxic. That goes to all the subsidized foods that are…
26
::Brad Montagne: Calorie-dense and nutrient vacuums.
27
::Brad Montagne: And they… they're… since it's all subsidized, it's cheaper, that's what people buy, and they're building poor health
28
::Brad Montagne: Rather than health, in what they're buying at the store and consuming.
29
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And soda pop.
30
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They're just looking for calories and not… Not nourishment, and… It's…
31
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You know, they… just eat less and move more.
32
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That might have been a thing 40 or 50 years ago, when you actually
33
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Could, like, buy a carrot, and it would have some nutritional value to it.
34
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: But even things that we think are health foods, like, greens, for instance, I shudder when I hear about people juicing greens.
35
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Greens… Are designed to take up Heavy metals.
36
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And when you start juicing them.
37
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You're just, like, really intensifying the poisons that are part of
38
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: This thing that should be good for you.
39
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, you just said something that opens up a huge can of worms. There's a lot of plants that are what's called hyperaccumulators. They mine very deeply.
40
::Brad Montagne: It's, oh, my…
41
::Brad Montagne: I'm forgetting what… I can see what the plant is, but I can't remember its name. It mines 90 feet down into the ground and pulls new.
42
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: hail.
43
::Brad Montagne: No, it's something…
44
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's not mullen, but it looks close to that. I think it starts with a C. It's common to plant those really close to your apple trees, and just chop the leaves off, because it… as the leaves decay, it brings all those nutrients to the topsoil.
45
::Brad Montagne: And you look at rice, it's a hyperaccumulator, so if you grow the rice in a healthy place.
46
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's accumulating nutrients, but if you…
47
::Brad Montagne: If you plant rice in fields like the Sacramento Valley in California, last time I visited my mom out there as, like, flying out, I see all these square ponds of water where they've been farming all of this GMO stuff for
48
::Brad Montagne: decades. It's extremely toxic, but rice is a commodity that's really become a more vogue
49
::Brad Montagne: with a huge return. And they're just flooding all these toxic soil
50
::Brad Montagne: places in growing rice, not… people not realizing rice is a hyperaccumulator, and it's some of the worst foods you could possibly have.
51
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and wheat.
52
::Brad Montagne: Oh, we took Shane.
53
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: wheat is really insane, but it, you know, you used to say wheat is the staff of life. Well, it used to be.
54
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Infrared used to be… But you can't… eat bread anymore.
55
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Unless you make it yourself and you're really careful with it, but even then, it's… unless you're grinding it yourself.
56
::Brad Montagne: That doesn't help. It doesn't help. 95% of the hard wheat crop in America is sprayed with Roundup, two to three days to 3 weeks before it's harvested, so the plant withers and they don't have to worry about drying.
57
::Brad Montagne: It does not increase its yield. They proved that in studies at the University of Minnesota. Nobody wants to look at it because it's a convenience.
58
::Brad Montagne: But corn is 10 times worse than wheat.
59
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Oh, yeah. The corn is just not edible anymore. It's… it's not a food.
60
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, the atrazine they use to keep corn growing is 10 times worse than Roundup.
61
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Make it a… it is a pesticide. I mean, things don't eat it.
62
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: If something else won't eat it, you probably shouldn't either.
63
::Brad Montagne: That's well said. When you look at the original…
64
::Brad Montagne: building blocks of herbicides and pesticides. That was the leftover nerve gas and things like that from chemical warfare in World War II.
65
::Brad Montagne: Most people aren't aware of that.
66
::Brad Montagne: The floor.
67
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Fluorate, they didn't know what to do with it, so they decided to… Oh, let's stick it in the drinking water, that's a good idea. We'll tell them it saves them from getting cavities.
68
::Brad Montagne: Hitler had them put fluoride in the water because it dumbs people down, and they're more submissive.
69
::Brad Montagne: Okay, I thought that was exciting.
70
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Good idea here!
71
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, it's amazing what gets…
72
::Brad Montagne: narratives. We're in an age where narratives are just an absolute barrage, and if the one thing that you can say about narratives, it doesn't matter what you think about Charlie Kirk or what's going on.
73
::Brad Montagne: There's enough people invested in looking at that, they are blowing the narrative to pieces, and they're demanding answers
74
::Brad Montagne: With very, very valid things.
75
::Brad Montagne: It's huge. That push-out back is really disrupting the whole agenda.
76
::Brad Montagne: Of what pushes everything from behind.
77
::Brad Montagne: And that's… it's good.
78
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I'm wondering if this thing with Reiner also won't… have…
79
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: unintended consequences. The… the more these… these chemicals that
80
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Pharmaceutical companies are pushing onto people that are really impacting
81
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: The rest of the general public.
82
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, so let's talk… let's talk about what they do.
83
::Brad Montagne: And this will make people understand.
84
::Brad Montagne: when we… Most… well, all of our food should go down into the gut.
85
::Brad Montagne: And the gut is very, very unique.
86
::Brad Montagne: If you hold your fingers up in front of your face, your fingers represent what the lining looks like.
87
::Brad Montagne: All the projections come off the line called microvilli.
88
::Brad Montagne: Those microvilli, they secrete a mucus. In between the
89
::Brad Montagne: The spaces in between the microvilli is where all the microbes in the gut live.
90
::Brad Montagne: And it caps over the top a little bit. The food can never touch those.
91
::Brad Montagne: But, the microvilla increases the surface area of the gut about 400 times.
92
::Brad Montagne: It's huge. It's really huge, and it gives a growing environment for all the healthy microbes to digest all of our food, and it brings the nutrients back down to the microvilli. Same thing happens with the microbes in the soil and the nutrients in the soil.
93
::Brad Montagne: Exact same, same thing. When you add an herbicide or pesticide.
94
::Brad Montagne: It creates an inflammatory reaction, where those microvilli go like this, and they'll slowly curl, so it's just like looking at your knuckles.
95
::Brad Montagne: There's nothing to produce.
96
::Brad Montagne: mucus anymore. There's no place for the microbes to hide. The good microbes will wash out in the toilet, and then pathogens start to grow.
97
::Brad Montagne: to… About 3 quarters of the immune system's in the gut.
98
::Brad Montagne: That's because that's where the most assault should come into the body, and it's all poised there to take care of it.
99
::Brad Montagne: But, the immune system has no detox function whatsoever.
100
::Brad Montagne: We've got 4 detox organs, Everybody only talks about one.
101
::Brad Montagne: Microvilli, that border, that's one.
102
::Brad Montagne: So, you got one area in the small intestine, another in the colon.
103
::Brad Montagne: All the microbes that grow in between that, that's the third one.
104
::Brad Montagne: The third detox organ, and the liver only catches what escapes out of the gut.
105
::Brad Montagne: When you add herbicides or pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, all that stuff in there.
106
::Brad Montagne: It creates inflammatory response to atrophy the microbelli.
107
::Brad Montagne: That allows… and it paralyzes the detox functions in the lining of the gut, and in all the microbes that grow in there. There's,
108
::Brad Montagne: They talk about that in the liver, but we use the exact same
109
::Brad Montagne: Pathway to detox as to absorb our food.
110
::Brad Montagne: And Big Pharma realizes, if we take oral doses, which is the easiest way, we've got to increase that 3, 4, or more times to get a blood level, because all the detox that goes on inside of the gut wall.
111
::Brad Montagne: So, as soon as you add that into your food, you've atrophied your gut wall, it makes it leak like a sieve, it cannot digest.
112
::Brad Montagne: because all the pathogens grow, it either ferments or rots your food. That dumps an overwhelming amount of toxicity into the bloodstream that the liver can't catch.
113
::Brad Montagne: That spills out globally, and that is a foundation of what destroys all aspects of health. Hormone dysregulation, autoimmune issues.
114
::Brad Montagne: Metabolic dysfunction in every sense of every organ Out there.
115
::Brad Montagne: It all starts right there.
116
::Brad Montagne: And you cannot write any of those without addressing that.
117
::Brad Montagne: And restoring that.
118
::Brad Montagne: heard two podcasts, and I did another one with,
119
::Brad Montagne: With a nurse practitioner that's also a metropolitan
120
::Brad Montagne: just a couple of days ago, and all these came out within the last few days. One's from Sarah Zahal, she's a integrative medicine doc.
121
::Brad Montagne: who deals with what she calls lifestyle medicine, which is what functional medicine… that came off of functional medicine, now I…
122
::Brad Montagne: Do more functional wellness.
123
::Brad Montagne: Just… same, same thing. It's all the same thing, and when you look at…
124
::Brad Montagne: Everybody's approaching. They go to their medical doctor to get a diagnosis, which is an insurance code, That…
125
::Brad Montagne: Locks a doctor into this narrow box of what their gurus tell them they can do with that.
126
::Brad Montagne: And all the pharmaceuticals they use to approach these diagnoses
127
::Brad Montagne: Mark Hyman talked about this, Sarah Saul talked about this, the nurse practitioner, naturopath.
128
::Brad Montagne: I asked her this specific question. All pharmaceuticals are designed to either slow down or try and stop a biochemical pathway.
129
::Brad Montagne: That supposedly is going on with the disease, but you gotta use a toxin to do that.
130
::Brad Montagne: Whereas you look at functional ways of doing things, lifestyle ways of doing things, you're optimizing
131
::Brad Montagne: all the healthy pathways so the body can actually function, optimize in its most maximum health that it possibly can. And it's completely diametrically opposed
132
::Brad Montagne: to what rebuilds health, and yet people are flocking, thinking, this is where I'm supposed to go, but they don't have the answers. I was asked to do a…
133
::Brad Montagne: On a summit.
134
::Brad Montagne: I think that was earlier this year, on the education of all doctors, so I looked up the education.
135
::Brad Montagne: There's not one school program that produces, quote, doctor.
136
::Brad Montagne: for healthcare. That… Teaches the foundational issues that build poor health and how to resolve them.
137
::Brad Montagne: Not in medical school, not in chiropractic school, not in naturopathic school, and not in homeopathic.
138
::Brad Montagne: Anybody that knows these things has gone outside of the camp, like Moses did with the tabernacle in the wilderness, as the Hebrews are coming out of Egypt. Go outside of the camp.
139
::Brad Montagne: To learn all this stuff.
140
::Brad Montagne: And most people are too busy to spend time doing it. That's where I've lived for the last 4 decades.
141
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They're busy trying to make a living so they can afford healthcare so that they can go to the doctor and be poisoned.
142
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: just…
143
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: really, like, a very simplistic way of looking at it. I'd like to get back to the idea of our
144
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Our food supply?
145
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And do you have suggestions for people? I know…
146
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I know a lot about food, and how it's produced, and where it comes from, and the soils, and all of the bits and pieces, and I'm horrified, even as a room shopper in a grocery store.
147
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That, you know… Things that are supposed to be healthy just really aren't.
148
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So… What do you suggest to people?
149
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: How can you eat nutritionally with
150
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: With the situation the way it is.
151
::Brad Montagne: You gotta know a lot.
152
::Brad Montagne: And that's what we spend
153
::Brad Montagne: The most of our time with people is teaching them the ropes in their environment.
154
::Brad Montagne: Because wherever you live, it changes.
155
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So, a few rules of thumb.
156
::Brad Montagne: The organic label doesn't mean anything anymore.
157
::Brad Montagne: Joe, it's not a safeguard.
158
::Brad Montagne: I've argued with people about that, but they don't understand. They're looking at research, not testing things clinically.
159
::Brad Montagne: And we've been testing things clinically in light of Lee's research. 40% of the best
160
::Brad Montagne: Best peer review articles in the best peer review journals have what's called spin on them.
161
::Brad Montagne: The results are not supported by the study, and America suggested that 70-75% of the time, and the research proves 75% of the time is overt for odd, it's not mistakes. So, looking at science doesn't give you an answer, doesn't give the doctors an answer.
162
::Brad Montagne: It's a manipulation by somebody who's benefiting from the study, and it's no different in the pharmaceutical side of studies and the natural side of studies. No difference. We've been testing things that have been supposedly the new breakthroughs for four decades. They're never
163
::Brad Montagne: What they claim to be.
164
::Brad Montagne: So, that's one of those things you've just got to accept and get over.
165
::Brad Montagne: The organic label doesn't mean what it…
166
::Brad Montagne: Probably did 30 years ago, because…
167
::Brad Montagne: We work with people who worked inside of that industry, we've tested stuff inside that industry. They'll do the same insane things as commercial farming does. They just put it away when the planned inspector's gonna show up.
168
::Brad Montagne: So, that's a reality. It's just a simple reality, and we don't accept it. So where can you find clean food? Non-certified organic is generally the best choice you can possibly get.
169
::Brad Montagne: So, places like Azure Standard, it's a very interesting… Business model, where
170
::Brad Montagne: you… you do your orders online, and once a month they ship trucks, semis, out to your area to different drops. People offload the truck into piles of different names, and then they put that in their trunk, and they go away. So they don't have…
171
::Brad Montagne: To pay for storefronts.
172
::Brad Montagne: And it's really, really clean food. So that's one aspect right there. VitaCost has some good
173
::Brad Montagne: products, as far as that goes. Your best places to shop Really are farmers markets.
174
::Brad Montagne: Because there you can dialogue with people, and you ask them, how do you feed your plants? It's a soccer question.
175
::Brad Montagne: Because if they start talking about feeding their plants, you just…
176
::Brad Montagne: Shut that one off, you'd be gracious, and you don't have to argue with them, you just move on to somebody else. Because anybody that sees their clients does not know what they're doing.
177
::Brad Montagne: If they say, I don't feed my plants, I feed my soil, and this is how I do it, you're talking to somebody who knows what they're doing.
178
::Brad Montagne: That's where you want to get your stuff.
179
::Brad Montagne: Right there. So, that… that's a… that's probably the simplest one. Years ago, I was at a
180
::Brad Montagne: conference out in Vegas. I hate Vegas. Just… it was…
181
::Brad Montagne: place where this was meeting, and I… I would stay away from there for… for any reason I possibly could, but I'm in a conference.
182
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Sometimes you just gotta go.
183
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, and I'm fading in the middle of the day, and I gotta get out here and take a walk. So I'm taking a walk, and it's… it's hot even in the middle of winter. And I see this building off in the distance, I go, okay, I'm gonna go see what that is, and then I'm gonna head back.
184
::Brad Montagne: into this conference, and I get closer and closer, and I realize this is this organic store.
185
::Brad Montagne: what exactly what it was, I wasn't sure, but it's like, okay, I'm gonna go inside and check that out. And I come in, and I see
186
::Brad Montagne: Shopping cart after shopping cart being pushed by these obese people.
187
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, some, maybe not morbidly obese, but significantly 30 to 50 pounds over what they should be.
188
::Brad Montagne: Just gingerly mincing steps, pushing, oftentimes with their spouse, sometimes not. Buying organic junk food at 3 to 5 times the price as it's down in a local grocery store, and there's no difference in nutrients.
189
::Brad Montagne: I mean, they're…
190
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Violet.
191
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I look at the vegan… the vegan world.
192
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and they're… Cheese.
193
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I was like, you know, either you eat cheese or you don't eat cheese. I don't really care, just, like.
194
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's up to you.
195
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Tell me that you're gonna smush a whole bunch of cashews together, and that's gonna be a good idea. Or making milk out of nuts.
196
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Nuts are… they come in a package, individually wrapped.
197
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Some of them aren't designed to be eaten, like.
198
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: handfuls at a time. Maybe one or two is good for you.
199
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: could help you.
200
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: When you start, like… it's like every time we get involved in processing stuff.
201
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: We take anything that's possibly good about the situation, and make it… Terrible.
202
::Brad Montagne: Yeah.
203
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Almost always a bad idea.
204
::Brad Montagne: JJ Virgin just put out a, VSL video sales letter about
205
::Brad Montagne: what they're doing with all these protein things, and you look at protein, if you protein and you mix it with a healthy fat, you've got something pretty good, but once you start adding sweeteners to it and all that, you made a toxic bomb.
206
::Brad Montagne: And that's what everybody does. It used to be a… it's a common wedding,
207
::Brad Montagne: snack, put on tables. You take Skittles, this toxic sugar bomb, with all kinds of stuff, and you mix that with some kind of nuts, as if that's gonna be good.
208
::Brad Montagne: And, and, and do you… If it looks like you just picked it off of a plant.
209
::Brad Montagne: It probably is.
210
::Brad Montagne: And that's one of the rule of thumbs. You don't get that anywhere. So you brought up nuts, two places where you can get clean nuts. Trader Joe's has some of the cleanest nuts in North America.
211
::Brad Montagne: One real big surprise is Target.
212
::Brad Montagne: The Good and Gather has… EWG.org has a list of
213
::Brad Montagne: toxicity of different foods and plants and all that. They have one of the lowest scores of any supply of nuts in North America.
214
::Brad Montagne: Who'd guess that? But it's a reality, and they're clean. But they gotta be raw. You can't have them roasted. You roast them, it hydrogenates the oils, and you've destroyed the food value.
215
::Brad Montagne: So they have to be raw. Store them in the freezer so they don't oxidize.
216
::Brad Montagne: True.
217
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Real food doesn't store long-term. It's just like you're supposed to eat, pick it and eat it, and you should eat it in season, and…
218
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I've heard that when you grow your own food, that it actually changes the chemistry of the food to adapt to your body.
219
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Isn't that interesting?
220
::Brad Montagne: It depends on if you know what you're doing. A lot of people are growing, and they don't understand. We had a family that was going to a
221
::Brad Montagne: A place in a distant city where people brought their leaves and their grass clippings and all that, and they got compost, and they seeded their garden space down with
222
::Brad Montagne: None realizing that in the city, everybody sprays their gardens and their trees, and their garden was toxic. They couldn't eat anything they produced off of it.
223
::Brad Montagne: My wife's dad was a soil genius who studied under Soil Genius, and they taught Master Gardeners what to do. They know how to make soil.
224
::Brad Montagne: This is a mind blower about soil. I got into my wife's father's sources to look at things. One of his sources is Dr. Carrie Reams. He's the only one I've ever heard of that wrote a book about molecular physiology.
225
::Brad Montagne: And most people think, oh, that's a real heady subject. I…
226
::Brad Montagne: As soon as I finished that book, a friend of mine called me up, And said.
227
::Brad Montagne: My son's just been shot, can you pray?
228
::Brad Montagne: The hospital called her up and said, your son's been shot, he's not gonna make you get down here.
229
::Brad Montagne: She… she waited, she got her prayer chain going.
230
::Brad Montagne: Then she went down there. She met one of her son's friend's mothers at the hospital, never met her before.
231
::Brad Montagne: And her… His friend's mother asked My friend.
232
::Brad Montagne: About me, and said, if we send him a ticket, would he fly out here and help?
233
::Brad Montagne: She goes, I don't know. To me, that's a God door. I live by those things.
234
::Brad Montagne: when he opens the door, I'm going through. And that's me.
235
::Brad Montagne: It's been me for decades. And so, I fly out there, I'm sitting next to someone in an airplane, and I got this
236
::Brad Montagne: Finishing off and brushing up on a few things in this molecular physiology book, and that guy sitting next to me asked what that's about.
237
::Brad Montagne: And I tell him, he goes, oh man, that sounds like this is a really heady subject. I've never heard of that before at all. And I told him why I'm on the airplane.
238
::Brad Montagne: You know, your eyes get huge. What's a natural doc going out to visit somebody who just got shot?
239
::Brad Montagne: By the way, there were… this was a
240
::Brad Montagne: A trauma hospital. They had 5 trauma cases come in that night. This young man was the worst. He had 1 pint of blood left in him.
241
::Brad Montagne: When he showed up, it was his… his quick-thinking brother to save that, just with compressions and all.
242
::Brad Montagne: He's the only one that made it through the night.
243
::Brad Montagne: And we started doing things. He was on heavy morphine.
244
::Brad Montagne: Started talking to him about what I needed to do, and he made decisions… life-changing decisions under major morphine dosage.
245
::Brad Montagne: To direct his healthcare, and he got out of the hospital in a few days.
246
::Brad Montagne: A few days.
247
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Incredible.
248
::Brad Montagne: The bullet clipped the top of his bladder and went out through the iliac vein on the opposite hip, so he's bleeding internally. He shows up in the ER. They got a team of multiple doctors. One's cutting, one's got a staple gun, and one's looking for the bleed.
249
::Brad Montagne: And it's amazing what these guys are doing. Soon they've seen it, they put hemostats on it, call in a vascular surgeon, he does his magic, grafts him.
250
::Brad Montagne: a new vein right in there. He pulls off, they bring in a…
251
::Brad Montagne: A urologist who splits the bladder wall in two pieces.
252
::Brad Montagne: So is the one, inside one together, outside one together, put a catheter in it.
253
::Brad Montagne: He was able to control his urine with a catheter.
254
::Brad Montagne: That's impossible.
255
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: That's incredible, yeah.
256
::Brad Montagne: That's just impossible. And we went out and we started doing these really creative things.
257
::Brad Montagne: And…
258
::Brad Montagne: he was pissed off, because the bullet just exploded the beginning of his colon and the end of his small intestine. Just exploded. Hydraulic thing. And they're looking at this and going, you know, we could put this together, try to make it look pretty, or we can save his life. We'll just shut off… cut off the bad stuff.
259
::Brad Montagne: Slap it together. No ileocecal valve, and for anybody that doesn't know, the ileocecal valve regulates
260
::Brad Montagne: The influx, the contents, small intestines in the colon.
261
::Brad Montagne: And this young man's pissed because he's not gonna have normal bowel functions the rest of his life.
262
::Brad Montagne: His name was Jacob, and I, yeah, I went through all their surgery notes, put in together what happened, and said they were stuck with this decision. And they made the best one, you made it.
263
::Brad Montagne: Now we just gotta believe that God's gonna make you a new one. Within 3 weeks, his bowel habits were absolutely completely normal, and years down the road, they continue to be so. That's physically impossible.
264
::Brad Montagne: But that's a large part of why our success is
265
::Brad Montagne: four times more than anybody else can offer, because the Lord's a huge part of what we do. He empowers everything, He shows us what's going on, how to test for, what to do. It's next level. It's just totally next level.
266
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It is so amazing, the ability a body has to overcome So much.
267
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Given… and… I have a very bad…
268
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: it's not even a feeling. I just… I hold very bad sentiments about the medical community in general.
269
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: But there are doctors out there that are amazing.
270
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: they You know, they make these hard decisions, and they save lives.
271
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: But then somebody like you can come along and help them really.
272
::Brad Montagne: be…
273
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: heal.
274
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, rebuild that life.
275
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love that.
276
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: So, how do… how do you work with people? Are you in a clinic? Do you have people?
277
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: clients.
278
::Brad Montagne: Most people we work with are distant.
279
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Okay.
280
::Brad Montagne: And work with, you know, people pretty much all over, and…
281
::Brad Montagne: There's advantages to working with people at distance, because there's some things you can evaluate at a distance better than you can in person.
282
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, like, their toxic products inside of their house.
283
::Brad Montagne: things along that line. It's a lot easier to do that at a distance.
284
::Brad Montagne: So, I've kind of… Who, who did a,
285
::Brad Montagne: podcast on my podcast, one of the earlier ones, and I work with him in person, and I've worked with him in distancing, and he says there's no difference in the outcome.
286
::Brad Montagne: The only thing is I don't get to see and enjoy him face-to-face.
287
::Brad Montagne: Anymore, but as far as care and resolution of things. It's not care,
288
::Brad Montagne: That's really the wrong word. We partner with people.
289
::Brad Montagne: And we coach them into healthier lifestyles.
290
::Brad Montagne: So they can rebuild and optimize their health.
291
::Brad Montagne: And that allows them to overcome a lot of the things that go on.
292
::Brad Montagne: It was Dr. Saul, S-C-Z-A-L,
293
::Brad Montagne: She's an integrative medicine dog. She's the one that said, we've known this, that 80% of chronic illness will resolve all on its own if you just deal with the lifestyle issues.
294
::Brad Montagne: That's big.
295
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: People… people don't want to make those kinds of decisions. They want…
296
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: They want a pill that will excuse them to continue on in the lifestyle that they think they want to live.
297
::Brad Montagne: But it won't change their situation at all.
298
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It won't.
299
::Brad Montagne: And it's… it's a huge waste.
300
::Brad Montagne: Yeah, we work with a lot of people that have been stuck in that.
301
::Brad Montagne: merry-go-round.
302
::Brad Montagne: For 20, 30 plus years, and…
303
::Brad Montagne: They've been to every kind of specialist, done every kind of thing, trying to attack what they think their diagnosis is.
304
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And nothing turns around.
305
::Brad Montagne: Until we deal with her lifestyle.
306
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yep.
307
::Brad Montagne: So how do people…
308
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: How do people get in touch with you?
309
::Brad Montagne: where, where my, my book is, The Healing Lifestyle, that's probably the easiest. GetmeWell.net. Our website's healthfullyou.com. It's H-E-L… H-E-A-L-T-H-F-U-L-L-Y, the letter U.com.
310
::Brad Montagne: The book will take you to that. I've also got a book.
311
::Brad Montagne: called Exposing Lung and Chronic Illness, and it goes through all the physiology and all of the interaction in a systems flow.
312
::Brad Montagne: Of what really is going on with almost all kinds of chronic illness, so you can really understand what's going on, and…
313
::Brad Montagne: Understanding that allows you to have a better choosing
314
::Brad Montagne: Of clinicians you're gonna work with.
315
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I think that's very helpful.
