Chapter 1: What is Purium and its mission?
Yeah. You know, because if you don't grow as a person, you probably will never step into the healing that you're seeking. All right, guys. Founder of Purium here today, David Sandoval. Thanks for coming on, man. Hey, a pleasure is mine. Appreciate the opportunity. Absolutely. I love the necklace, by the way. What does that represent?
Chapter 2: What inspired David Sandoval's health journey?
So there's a story. I don't know if you want to hear it, but this is a sunrise show. Okay.
And today is the birthday of the head of the Native American church that I belong to. And we were in a teepee ceremony, and it was my first one. And it came time to present gifts to to the ceremonial leaders and I didn't know I was supposed to bring gifts. And I was pretty humiliated as the other people from the church looked at me like, what's wrong with you?
Chapter 3: How does fast food manipulate our choices?
Like, you didn't know to bring a gift, you know? Well, the head of the church took this off of his own neck, walked over to me and said, today I give Dave a gift. Right. This is the way of the church, you know. So the gift I was supposed to bring was actually given to me. Wow.
And this is from him, the head of the Native American church in Kauai, Shane Johnson. And he put this around my neck and said, you know, it doesn't matter the gifts that you bring to the church. It's the gifts that you bring to humanity that I care about, you know. And is that a big philosophy behind your company? It is.
Yeah. I could see that because all your products are super healthy, all natural. We were talking about how there's no plastics in them, right?
Yeah, not just no plastics in them. I'm the first company, and I don't mean this in a bragging way, so please don't take it that way. I'm motivated. That's the place I come from. I was shipping out 30,000 packages a month. with five to six plastic bottles filled with the most nutritious food on the planet inside of those plastic bottles.
And I couldn't sleep at night knowing that I was putting 150 empty plastic bottles into the world a month for future generations to come. Now, if we think about ourselves as you've heard of that term, the sins of our fathers, right?

Chapter 4: What are the benefits of sunlight for health?
Yeah. Our forefathers, our great-grandfather, our grandfather, our father, and then ourselves. These forefathers have an impact on the next generation. right? The seven generational where we sit right in the middle, below three and above three. And every generation before us bent the arc of history in some way. They created the reality that we would grow up in because of the decisions they made.
And it's the decisions that we make that will bend the arc of history for our children. And I am tired of living selfishly, okay? It's time that we bend that arc back to the benefit of not ourselves, but to our children. And this is why I'm such an advocate for self-healing. And self-healing doesn't take place without also self-growth.
Because if you don't grow as a person, you probably will never step into the healing that you're seeking as well. Like your previous guest spoke of parasitical impacts. So we need to get rid of those things that are training ourselves and replace them with things that will train ourselves to live that long, vibrant life that we were intended to. Did you ever have to deal with parasites?
We all do. If we drink water, if we kiss somebody. Oh, kissing. If we eat fish, if we swim in a river or a lake.
um yeah wow it's that easy to get them absolutely dang yeah just whitewater rafting you could get it from that oh sure damn i used to love that back in the day oh yeah i live so near some of the best whitewater rafting i you know have uh an artesian spring on my land um i'm all about water but with water comes parasites almost always dang so they just live in streams of water yeah even the beach the ocean
Uh, not as much as freshwater. Oh, freshwater. Mostly freshwater. Yeah. We have that salt in the ocean, which holds most of it down. And we have sharks that go and eat the dead stuff so that it doesn't spread in the water. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I love the ocean, man. It feels so grounded with nature out there. Such a water person. Yeah. I miss it out here. Desert out here, man.
got to get you to that coast bro i know i just came back from the bahamas beautiful you ever been out there oh yeah i love the caribbean yeah oh yeah beautiful jellyfish in the ocean i was catching them with my hands yeah people were getting stung and i was just picking them up so you have to make these agreements with nature you know i always tell the ants and the bees and
whatever it might be, I say, you know, I'm here temporarily and I'd like you to share this space with me, but I'll be gone soon. I'll leave it back to you the way that I came and saw it. It won't disrupt it. And I don't get bit by red ants. I don't get stung by bees. I don't, you know, rattlesnakes. They just leave me alone because I let them know that I respect their space, you know?
They could probably sense malicious intent, right? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, because some people kill them. The deer walk right up to me on my lap.

Chapter 5: What is epigenetics and why is it important?
Really? Yeah. Wow. What about squirrels? Squirrels used to run away from me. But I was a little troublemaker back in the day in Jersey. I grew up in Jersey.
Chapter 6: What are the dangers of glyphosate in our food?
Okay, I was on WOR and WWRL for many years. What's that? 50,000-watt stations out of Manhattan. Whoa. What happened there?
All I did is I was on the radio, 50,000-watt station, right, prime time. I would flip on the switch and say, for five minutes I'd tell them what was on my mind. Then I'd say, now it's your show. And people would call in and ask me questions about their personal health and for an hour to answer those questions for years after day, month after month, year after year.
And I learned a lot about how people are suffering and it really motivated me to help them find the solutions to that suffering. So you've been giving health advice for a while now. I have, yeah, for 30, 35 years.
Chapter 7: How can we practice conscious eating?
Wow. And what sparked that health journey for you? Did you have something traumatic? You know, I appreciate you asking. And, you know, I hope you don't mind me sharing something. You know, it's a little, I guess, raw. But I was homeless. And my auntie and my uncle, I was homeless by choice. I just want to let you know. It wasn't so nice at home.
you know my dad drank he was violent my mom put up with it and i didn't like her putting up with it when i tried to stop it they both were unhappy you know what i mean yeah so i was not wanted so i made myself gone well my aunt and uncle heard about that and they invited me to come and live with them northern california up in nature you know and within six months my auntie had died damn
after showing me what love was, after giving my own room, after giving me a car to drive, after buying me clothes that weren't from Value Village and had been worn by someone else first, you know what I mean? And it was amazing. And then she died. And the doctors who my uncle hired said that she died because at that time microwaves were new. She was microwaving her dinners.
What were called TV dinners were very popular. Fast food was very popular. Like they had the McDonald's supper club. I mean, it was just crazy how they were pushing this processed food on people. And my aunt who wanted to spend time with her kids,
not go shopping and cooking and cleaning and doing dishes and all that stuff she wanted to be with her kids not just serving her kids and so she chose all those conveniences and she was on the edge the cutting edge of the people who suffered because of them and i was so angry at that food that killed her that i never wanted to see anyone else's aunt judy die again wow

Chapter 8: What is the future of health according to David?
And I began to study things that other people didn't study. I read a book called Silent Spring written by Rachel Carson that many people might or might not be aware of. And it alerted me to the fact that the chemicals in our food were killing us. And that just 100 years ago, there were zero chemicals in our food. And today, less than 1% of food that we consume does not have chemicals. Wow.
Less than 1%. That's so low. That's unreal. I remember going to Burger King growing up with my dad. It was one of my favorite memories, but we had no idea we were kind of killing each ourselves. You know what I mean?
I remember wanting to ride to McDonald's so I could steal some fries out of each bag before they got home, you know, and my brothers and sisters never knew that there were four or fewer fries in each bag, you know? Like, yeah, we all grew up with those, you know, those Slurpees at 7-Eleven and, you know what I mean? The Frosty Al Wendy's.
And, you know, Kentucky Fried Chicken, man, they would put the smell into the neighborhood, you know? You couldn't drive a block without smelling it, you know, it'd draw you in. So we have these instincts as humans, you know, imagine that we're you know, living 10,000 years ago and we're looking for food and we look out on the horizon and what do we see? We see yellow or orange or blue or red.
What is that? That's food, right? That's food. And our minds know it and we know it instinctively that we get there and we will be nourished. You know what they did? Look at every sign at McDonald's and Burger King, red, orange, yellow, and blue.
the colors that our brains associate with nourishing us and making us healthy, they've stolen and tricked our minds into craving foods that do not look like the colors on their signs. There's no food that looks like the color on their signs. Yeah, good point. It's all processed.
but we see it with our brain and we associate it with eating and then we go and we take what is not it's the ultimate bait and switch yeah a lot of them use red in and out mcdonald's kfc wow that's crazy they're really good at the marketing they know the subconscious marketing behind it and they're using it to their advantage and it's so cheap and quick you know
The only way they make money is by saving money. Right. You know, so, yeah. And they're tied to big pharma. A lot of the investors in big food are investors in big pharma.
Well, let's face it. If one product that you sell to makes money leads them to another product that you sell to make money, isn't that good for business? And that's why people ask me, you know, what do you think about free enterprise? I said, well, it's not free. No freedom is free. All freedoms have to be fought for. They need to be protected.
