The key to health is eliminating toxicities and deficiencies! - Dr. William R. Kellas
If you focus on only a handful of changes, make them these. These five levers create an upward spiral—energy rises, cravings quiet, sleep deepens, inflammation settles, and motivation returns naturally.
Simple rule: Choose one. Start today. Repeat it daily. Momentum compounds—and health follows consistency.
If you improve one thing first, improve sleep. Better sleep makes nearly every other health practice easier—appetite control, mood, energy, exercise, detoxification, stress relief, and recovery. With better sleep, you will truly feel more alive and more happy.
Loud snoring, gasping, morning headaches, dry mouth, or excessive daytime sleepiness can be signs of sleep-disordered breathing. If that’s you, ask your clinician about evaluation—treating this can be life-changing.
You do not need a gym membership. You do not need complicated equipment. You need two days per week and about 20–30 minutes.
Focus on five fundamental movements that protect independence:
Perform 2–3 sets of 8–12 repetitions for each movement. The last two repetitions should feel challenging — but controlled.
If it becomes easy after a few weeks, add a little resistance. Muscle responds at any age when it is gently challenged.
Consistency matters more than intensity. Two focused sessions per week can change your trajectory over decades.
Strength training tells your body, “This muscle matters.” Protein provides the materials to maintain and reinforce it.
When you challenge muscle with resistance, small amounts of controlled stress occur within the fibers. Adequate protein allows those fibers to repair and rebuild — slightly stronger than before.
Without resistance, the body has no reason to hold on to muscle. Without protein, it lacks the resources to maintain it. Both are simple. Both are necessary.
You do not need perfection. You need consistency — resistance twice per week and sufficient protein to support it.
Your body runs on a simple rule: it maintains what you use and it reduces what you don’t. Not as punishment. As efficiency.
Joints need movement to stay smooth. Lungs need deep breathing to stay open. The heart needs moments of effort to stay strong. And the brain needs to practice balance and coordination — stepping, climbing, turning, catching yourself — or those circuits go quiet.
A car that never leaves the garage doesn’t stay “new.” It degrades. The human body is no different. We move, or we decline.
The good news: you don’t have to become an athlete. You just have to send the signal — consistently — that you are still choosing life.
Start small. Start today. The goal is not perfection. The goal is proof: “I’m still here. I’m still capable. I’m still becoming.”
Rule of thumb: If something hurts, reduce impact — not movement. Walk flatter, shorten the session, slow down, use rails, use a bike, swim, or do gentle hills. Keep the signal. Adjust the method.
You don’t need a perfect diet. You need a few repeatable anchors that make the healthy choice the easy choice—most days. Hit protein, plants/fiber, and sensible portions, and the rest starts to take care of itself (energy, cravings, mood, body composition).
If sleep or energy is fragile, finish your last big meal 2–3 hours before bed. Watch the “stealth” stuff: sugary drinks and alcohol can quietly undo appetite and sleep. If food feels compulsive, anxiety-producing, or you have a history of disordered eating, get support—this is treatable and you don’t have to white-knuckle it.
Instead of tracking everything, ask: “Did I get a real protein in early? Did I eat plants today? Did my carbs support my activity (or did they make me snacky)? Did my food choices help my sleep?” If you can answer “mostly yes” most days, you’re doing it right.
Because of the competitive and interfering interactions of toxins, it’s crucial to minimize exposure to heavy metal and other toxins and support the body’s ability to detoxify.
Anyone who has ever had fish knows that if you don't regularly clean the fish bowl it becomes filthy and the fish die. So, if you want dead fish, just don't clean the fish bowl.
Likewise, your cells cannot thrive if the fluids of your body are filled with toxins and just like fish will die way too soon.
The constant degradation of cellular health from toxic damage removes decades of lifespan and healthspan potential.
So, both for fish bowls or human bodies, we need to keep the internal environment clean. Trying to be healthy while living in internal toxicity doesn't work. Below are the some of the best practices for getting those toxins out of you. You should be doing as many as you can.
Toxins damage cells and tissues resulting in chronic inflammation.
Chronic inflammation gives rise to pain, joint stiffness, damaged skin, and diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, and autoimmune disorders. The accumulation of inflammatory damage ultimately kills us regardless how nutritious is our food or what other good health practices we have.
Direct DNA Damage: Toxins like heavy metals (e.g., mercury, lead) and chemical carcinogens (e.g., benzene, formaldehyde) can directly damage DNA by breaking strands or causing chemical modifications, leading to mutations that disrupt cell function and increase disease risk.
Oxidative Stress: Toxins such as air pollutants and chemicals in processed foods produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause oxidative stress and DNA damage, resulting in mutations and potential health issues.
DNA Methylation: Exposure to toxins like tobacco smoke, pesticides, and heavy metals can alter DNA methylation patterns, affecting gene expression. DNA methylation can silence important genes that prevent uncontrolled cell growth or repair DNA, potentially leading to cancer and other health conditions.
Histone Modifications: Toxins such as BPA and phthalates can impact histone proteins, altering gene activation patterns and potentially causing developmental or metabolic issues.
Impact on Cellular Aging: Toxins like air pollution and smoking accelerate telomere shortening, leading to premature aging and higher susceptibility to age-related diseases. Shortened telomeres are associated with cellular deterioration.
Inhibition of DNA Repair Proteins: Some toxins, including certain plastics and pesticides, interfere with DNA repair enzymes, reducing the body’s ability to fix DNA damage. This leads to the accumulation of genetic errors over time.
Interference with Cell Cycle Control: Toxins disrupt cell cycle checkpoints, increasing the likelihood of replication errors and propagation of mutations.
Oncogene Activation: Exposure to toxins such as tobacco smoke or asbestos can activate oncogenes, leading to uncontrolled cell division and potential tumor formation.
Tumor Suppressor Silencing: Toxins may silence tumor suppressor genes through epigenetic changes, allowing cells to evade natural growth control mechanisms, which can lead to unchecked cell growth.
Toxins from processed foods, alcohol, and pollutants can damage the intestinal lining, impairing nutrient absorption. Heavy metals like lead and mercury can make the gut “leaky,” reducing its ability to absorb nutrients effectively.
Enzymes are necessary to break down food for nutrient absorption. Toxins, such as pesticides and industrial chemicals, inhibit enzyme activity, which reduces nutrient availability, especially for proteins and complex carbohydrates.
Toxins from antibiotics, alcohol, and artificial additives disrupt gut bacteria balance. This imbalance affects nutrient synthesis, especially for vitamins like B and K, and impairs nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies.
Some toxins, such as heavy metals like cadmium, lead, and mercury, compete with essential minerals like zinc, calcium, and iron for absorption sites, limiting access to these necessary nutrients.
Fat-soluble toxins, like dioxins and PCBs, can bind to fat molecules, disrupting the absorption of essential fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and affecting various bodily functions.
Many toxins trigger inflammation in the gut, which can impair nutrient absorption. Increased immune cell activity in the gut due to inflammation can alter gut permeability and inhibit nutrient uptake.
The detoxification process itself uses up nutrients, particularly B vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids. Constant toxin exposure diverts these nutrients away from essential bodily functions, effectively reducing their availability.
Protecting yourself from modern toxins involves a multi-layered approach, as they can be present in air, food, water, personal care products, and household items. Here are effective steps to reduce your exposure to toxins and thus protect your health:
Glutathione levels decrease in human beings from age 23 until death by nearly 2 percent a year (see graph).
So, supplementing with Glutathione boosters is a key practice for staying healthy. Glutathione is a Phase II detoxifier. It binds with toxins and take them out of the body via the urine. It binds with other antioxidants. Studies have found that centenarians — people who live to be 100 or older have much higher levels of glutathione than their peers.
Many people do well with a food-first approach (citrus, berries, peppers) plus supplemental vitamin C as needed. If you supplement, start low and increase gradually—tolerance varies (especially digestion).
We particularly recommend these Vitamin C products:
Note: If you have a history of kidney stones, iron overload conditions, or are on prescription medications, check with your clinician about vitamin C dosing.
Doing an Eight Day Cleanse two to four times per year is a great way to detoxify the body. The Eight Day Cleanse utilizes numerous synergistic products to help clear the body of many types of toxins, parasites, and pathogens while removing mucoidal plaque from intestinal linings. This Cleanse was designed by Dr. William R. Kellas for his patients at the Center for Advanced Medicine in Encinitas California. It was fine-tuned with tens of thousands of patient results.
Doing an Eight Day Cleanse is like changing dirty water for clean water in your fishbowl (speaking of your body as the fishbowl). The Cleanse is one of the best ways to quickly dissolve mucoidal plaque from the gastrointestinal system. Clean bowels are super beneficial to long term health. If the bowels aren't clean the bloodstream is constantly toxified. The Eight Day Cleanse utilizes Paragon and Silver Biotics to destroy parasites and pathogens and E7 to quench free radicals. In just eight days a person goes from filthy to much cleaner internally.
Another top recommendation for getting toxins out of the body is sweating (via sauna or exercise). Sweating is a safe way for most people to detoxify and be cleaner internally. Sweating causes toxins to leave cells and go out of the body via the sweat glands. That means that those toxins don't have to go through the liver and kidneys to get out of the body, thus avoiding exit damage to the kidneys and liver.
A Finnish study found that frequent sauna bathing is associated with longer life and lower risk of certain diseases (2,000 person study). And they have less incidence of disease. Check out our Relax Far Infrared Sauna information. The benefits of sweating are too good to ignore.
We recommend purchasing a Relax Fir Sauna and doing three 40 minute saunas per week.
At a recent Anti-Aging exposition, those who were taking PXP Royale were among those who had no free radical damage (very rare).
Eating Iodine rich foods such as seaweed or oysters (shown to the right), or supplementing with Oyster Max or with Magnascent Iodine is important to staying detoxified and healthy. Many people do not get enough iodine. Iodine is important for detoxification, primarily through its critical role in supporting thyroid function to increase mitochondrial energy output. It takes energy to detoxify. Without enough iodine, therefore, your body will function like someone who is too tired to clean up the house after a long day's work.
Eating Magnesium rich foods such as pumpkin seeds, chard, spinach, dark chocolate, kale, almonds, avocado, tofu, quinoa, flaxseed, salmon, etc. (shown to the right), or supplementing with ACE Ormus is important to staying detoxified and healthy. Many people do not get enough magnesium. Like Iodine, Magnesium is important for detoxification, primarily through its role in increasing mitochondrial energy output. It takes energy to detoxify. Without enough magnesium, therefore, the cells don't have extra energy to devote to detoxification.
Eat all of your daily allotment of food during a 5 to 11 hour window each day and do not eat any closer than three hours to bed time. This enables the body to do better housekeeping and removal of toxins.
The reason is that limiting the time when the gastrointestinal tract has to be working frees up considerable amounts of energy that is otherwise using in metabolizing food. This energy can be diverted to detoxify and repair the cells of the body.
Interestingly, limiting the time for eating is the only absolutely sure-fire method that will always (in every case) increase lifespan of test animals by nearly double.
So, choose a period of time in which you will eat, such as from 6 AM to Noon or 1PM to 7PM each day. There is nothing special when this window of time is. The eating window could be longer such as eating from 5 AM to 12 Noon or 6 am to 4pm. The maximum window should be 11 hours and the minimum window should be at least five hours. Eating should not occur closer than three hours to bedtime. You can drink water and non-calorie containing such as tea during the time of day when you aren't eating.
Use fasting wisely (and safely). Creating a daily “fasting window” overnight (for example, finishing dinner earlier and eating breakfast later) can support metabolic health and cellular cleanup for many people.
Stress is not just “mental.” It becomes chemistry. It becomes inflammation.
Cravings.
Shallow sleep.
Tight shoulders. Snapping at people you love.
Waking up already tired.
Healing slower than you should.
You don’t need a stress-free life. That’s fantasy. You need a nervous system that can return to calm. Daily. Reliably. On command.
Fear and stress feel urgent because the nervous system is designed to protect you. But you can train it to recognize safety again. These are simple, repeatable anchors that teach your body: I am steady. I can handle this. I can return to calm.
Longer exhale = stronger “you’re safe” signal to your brain.
Habits are the foundation.
But sometimes a foundation deserves reinforcement.
Think of these as subtle advantages — tools that make calm easier, sleep deeper, and stress less sticky.
Music as Conditioning (Surprisingly Powerful)
Choose one calming instrumental track or playlist.
Reserve it exclusively for your evening reset or wind-down.
When repeated consistently, your nervous system begins to associate that sound with safety.
Over time, the first few notes can lower your shoulders… slow your breath… and signal: you are off duty now.
This is not hype. It is conditioning.
Targeted Nutrient Support
When stress chemistry refuses to power down, certain nutrients may help support a smoother transition:
• Apigenin + Glycine — often chosen to support relaxation and more settled sleep cycles.
• L-Theanine — commonly used for racing thoughts and “wired-but-tired” tension.
• Magnesium (glycinate) — valued for easing physical tightness and evening restlessness.
These are not replacements for habits.
They are allies — especially when life has been running too hot for too long.
Important: If pregnant, managing kidney or thyroid conditions, or taking medications (particularly for mood, blood pressure, or sleep), consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
Longevity is not only biology. It is belonging.
Multiple long-term population studies show that chronic isolation increases mortality risk as much as smoking, obesity, or physical inactivity. When connection drops, inflammation rises. Sleep worsens. Motivation shrinks. Stress hormones stay elevated longer.
Humans are not built to thrive alone. Your nervous system calibrates itself through safe relationships. Your brain stays sharper when it is used socially. Your immune system behaves differently when you feel supported.

If you want to stay capable at 80, 90, even beyond — do not retreat.
Move toward contribution. Move toward people. Move toward usefulness.
The body follows the direction of the life.
The most dangerous health threats are rarely dramatic. They are quiet. Slow. Invisible.
Blood pressure creeps upward. Blood sugar drifts. Visceral fat accumulates silently. Bone density declines without pain.
By the time symptoms appear, damage is often years in the making.
Intelligent people do not wait for symptoms. They measure. They adjust. They stay ahead.
This is not fear-based thinking. It is disciplined foresight.
When you identify drift early, correction is simple. When you wait, correction becomes complicated.
Measurement is not anxiety. It is ownership.
Your mouth enjoys food for minutes. Your body pays the bill for hours… and your future pays it for years. Most people eat for taste alone — then wonder why energy fades, joints ache, sleep weakens, and life gets smaller.
Here’s the mindset shift that changes everything: don’t eat for calories first — eat for nutrients first. The goal is not “eat less until you suffer.” The goal is eat better until your body is satisfied, and then stop because you’ve already given it what it needs.
People who don't understand how they body works seek the pleasure of taste... which virtually always means foods without nutrients.
Think of calories as virtually guaranteed. Most people in American are going to get plenty. But, it doesn't follow that you will get enough nutrients, unless you specifically "seek" after them. Instead of considering what foods you taste buds enjoy consider what foods your cells will enjoy. For your cells, it's vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. If you eat foods that deliver little nutrition, you're essentially starving your cells.
This is the discipline of the wise: If the food doesn’t strengthen my life — energy, mood, body, future — I don’t make it a daily habit.
We all want a dessert that feels like a treat — without being a nutrition disaster. Try sweetening with monk fruit instead of sugar, and consider adding Berry Extreme to desserts like custard, yogurt, or even ice cream. It can add real berry flavor and concentrated plant nutrients while keeping calories reasonable. (Always check ingredients and use the amount that fits your goals.)
Your mouth is a gateway to the body. Chronic gum irritation and persistent oral bacteria can become a constant source of inflammation. The good news: oral health often improves quickly with consistent daily care.
The reason they can be the best or the worst is that Parent Omega Oils (alpha linolenic acid and linoleic acid) incorporate into cell membranes. Once in the membranes those fatty acids either help pull oxygen into the cell or resist its movement into the cell. And, that makes a huge difference to health.
Parent Omega Oils are highly reactive fatty acids. They are essential to life, which is why we also call them Parent Essential Oils.
In this regard of pulling oxygen into cells, Parent Omega Oils function far differently than saturated fatty acids or mono-unsaturated fatty acids which are primarily sources of energy. They do not integrate into cell membranes.
Because Parent Omega Oils can be become adulterated care must be taken to ensure only perfect Parent Omega Oils are consumed. Adulterated Parent Omega Oils will damage health because when they incorporate into cell membranes they resist oxygen from going into the cell interior (the opposite of what is wanted).
Interestingly, all modern vegetable oils today are adulterated. They are adulterated on purpose to prevent them from attracting oxygen into themselves and going rancid. By adulterating the oils before bottling, they are less likely to go rancid, and will smell better longer. Unwittingly, however, the consumer buys oils that undermine their cellular oxygenation and health.
With the above understandings, one will avoid adulterated Parent Omega Oils and consume non-adulterated Parent Omega Oils. The only issue is finding non-adulterated Parent Omega Oils. We do offer these oils on our web site. Learn more at https://healthy-living.org/peos.
