In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway welcomes Dr. Justin Potts, a chiropractor and holistic health expert with over 17 years of experience, known for his whole-body approach to transforming health through essential oils and proteins. Dr. Potts, who has treated everyone from college coaches to Yellowstone actors and stuntmen, shares his journey from a farm kid who hated school to a Doctor of Chiropractic and EMT, driven by a passion for helping people optimize their bodies. With a background in radio syndication and a future in health consulting, Dr. Potts reveals how to turn your body into an efficient machine that works for you, not against you, using simple yet powerful principles.
Dr. Potts emphasizes three foundational elements for health: water, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. He warns against the dangers of convenience-driven diets filled with trans fats, which the body cannot break down, leading to clogged arteries and organ stress. By consciously prioritizing clean water (a gallon daily), high-quality proteins, and omega-3s while eliminating sugars and processed foods, you can fuel your body for peak performance and even starve cancer cells, as inspired by Dr. Johanna Budwig’s oil-protein protocol. Dr. Potts shares practical daily habits; ike hydration and mindful nutrition; that create personal excellence, urging listeners to reject convenience for conscious health choices to unlock their body’s potential.
Key Takeaways:
Foundational Health: Drink a gallon of clean water daily, prioritize high-quality proteins (like lean turkey), and consume omega-3 fatty acids to fuel your body effectively.
Avoid Convenience: Steer clear of trans fats in fast food and packaged goods, as they cannot be broken down and harm your health.
Conscious Choices: Plan meals intentionally to prioritize whole foods, avoiding the trap of convenience that leads to poor health outcomes.
Starve Disease: Omega-3s and ketones (from reduced sugars and glutamine) can starve cancer cells, supporting overall health and resilience.
Actionable Step: Start drinking a gallon of water daily, eliminate sugary drinks, and incorporate omega-3 oils and lean proteins to optimize your body.
“At the cost of convenience, we will destroy our body. Make conscious decisions to fuel it right.” - Dr. Justin Potts
