Whether it's in print, video, photos, audio or a combined multi-media blitz - my goal is to provide you with cutting edge, healthy lifestyle information that will improve the quality of your life.
This interview is with Osteopathic Doctor, Joseph Mercola, who I recently met during a health conference in Phoenix. The conference was called, Preventing Killer Diseases, and it was absolutely fascinating! I was particularly excited to attending this conference because Dr. Mercola was scheduled to speak. He is the closest thing to a healthy- lifestyle mentor that I know, and of all the health-realted information I have consumed over the years - I can honestly say that he has had more influence over me than anyone else. Fortunately, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Mercola at the conference, and he graciously agreed to a short interview for my site. Unfortunately, there was no time to set up lights or find a quiet studio setting, so I made the best with what was available.
I was curious in learning more about Mercola's experiences of being involved in the conventional medical system and what made him deviate from this path. Most people don't know that when he first graduated from medical school he worked in the pharmaceutical indsustry as rep to sell drugs to physicians. It seemed that he was headed on the perfect path toward a lucrative career in conventional medicine. He knew a great deal about pharmaceutical drugs and was paid to aggressively promote them to other physicians.
So what changed his course? What did he experience that made him deviate from such a promising path? After all, he had earned the keys and he was coasting down the freeway toward what seemed to be an imminent destiny toward "curing" disease ... but on his way he unexpectedly encountered a few road blocks, warning signs, and detours that led him to an alternate route. Please watch as Dr. Mercola explains some of the problems he found in the current medical paradigm:
One of the major problems I have wrestled with on my quest to achieve genuine health was in trying to determine whose "scientific" literature I should trust and believe. Growing up I had always believed in literature that came from the American Medical Association and their esteemed peer reviewed medical journals. However, as I learned more about the human body and it's systems I began to think differently, and started searching for alternative sources of information. After years of sifting through a tsunami of information and mis-information, I have finally found a trustworthy pool of courageous health advocates, nutritionists, M.D's, D.O.'s, and N.D.'s that I can depend on. Dr. Mercola is one of those gifted health professionals that I rely on and trust for honest, helpful information.
I wanted him to explain why he doesn't have much faith in some of the information printed in the esteemed peer reviewed medical journals, and why we should not regard information in these journals as infallible. Please listen as Dr. Mercola shares his experience and knowledge on this subject:
As I stated previously, Mercola briefly worked for the Pharmaceutical companies as an apprentice and his experiences in that field helped lead him away from the conventional medical model he was trained for. His devotion to follow the truth led him to alternative health practices that did not rely heavily on drugs or surgery. His love for technology combined with his love for health has allowed him to harness the full power of the internet, and today he owns the most visited alternative health site in the world. Dr. Mercola explains:
I hope you enjoyed my Media-Blitz Interview with Dr. Mercola. Over the years I have had the priviledge of working with some of the world's biggest celebrities & personalities, and I consider my opportunity to interview Dr. Mercola as one of the most memorable. As you can see I have great respect for what he is doing, and I highly recommend visiting his website at: www.mercola.com. I would also recommend joining his Inner Circle Program, which I am a proud member of.

While getting ready for the 2008 WTF Las Vegas show, Rick's diet really kept my energy levels high while I rapidly lost body fat. It's the best diet I have ever followed and I was really pleased with the results. It's so easy and full of flavor that I can still follow it while off season from competing.

Matt,I must admit I feel like a new person: rejuvenation. I just want to say thank you for the experience. It was the most fearful and best thing I have ever done for my life. It was definitely worth it. Already with my first week of training I can feel a difference. I am more energized and sustain stamina for longer periods... regardless of football (NFL) my life has definitely been changed, understood and improved. Take care... and may God bless you always! Until the next time...." - D'Wayne Bates - Professional Athlete
I followed Rick's pre-contest diet while competing in 2008 and it helped me get in great shape. Learning that I could eat so many great tasting foods and good fats while still losing weight made dieting much easier. Thanks Rick.
