Overall, this was a fantastic and extremely informative episode — as always. It was mentioned that the Beyond Health multi-vitamin is not available in Canada. Do you have any information on why Canada will not allow the sale of this multi-vitamin? Thanks!
Dr. Arjan Khalsa says
I loved this episode and have been talking about the topics discussed here with my patients for the past week, since I’ve listened to it! I’m going to share it with my email list peeps, as well. Thanks so much! One of my favorite so far….my 10 year old daughter and I, and a few hundred of my email peeps are committed to 40 days of no sugar. Inspired by this podcast.
Marni says
Thank you so much for your response Dr Arjan! That is a huge commitment with no sugar, but shouldn’t be hard with all the natural options available to still get sweet in your life! Best of luck and let us know how it goes over in our Facebook group http://www.ultimatehealthpodcast.com/community!

Another great podcast episode, thank you Jesse and Marni! He’s definitely a wealth of information and had so many nuggets to share. I look forward to picking up his books. I have three kids 10, 8, and 2. I think about EMF’s all the time and am well aware of the negative side effects of constant exposure. I need to make an effort to turn my phone off more often! For some reason we think we NEED them on at all times. I appreciated his perspective about vaccines – and timely given DeNiro’s announcement this week – they almost used the same words (a study that proves they’re safe). We fully vaccinated our oldest and he has had the most health issues of all 3 children – food sensitivities, sleep problems, and more. We stopped vaccinating our now 8 year old after about two months into the vaccination schedule. This was when we felt like we had researched enough and were ready to feel confident in our decision. Our third child hasn’t been vaccinated at all. We may get the girls vaccinated as they get older, we haven’t fully decided. One of the biggest influences in our decision to research vaccinations was because of our nephew who was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old. His mother saw a remarkable change in him after vaccines and refused to vaccinate her second child as a result. I realize how heated this issue is. At the end of the day, you have to do what’s right for you and your family. I am incredibly grateful to live in a world where I can make informed decisions like this. Thanks again Jesse and Marni. Keep up the great work – it’s important to provide many perspectives!
Marni says
Wow Maggie! Thank you for sharing your story. We are grateful that you were able to do your own research and come up with an informed decision that suited you and your family!
RickiHeller says
I loved this episode–thank you for sharing all of Raymond’s wisdom! It’s incredibly impressive and inspiring to hear someone his age who is so mentally and physically sharp and vital. Clearly, he’s a shining example of the value of his own principles. I also really appreciated the information about saunas, a topic I’ve been learning about recently. I’ve been amazed at how much my health has benefited from regular sauna use in the past year. Thank you for sharing this wealth of information and wisdom. Always love your podcasts
Marni says
You are so welcome Ricki! Glad you learned so much from Raymond. We are big fans of using a sauna as well 🙂
Aaron says
Hi, I would love to see these studies Raymond references, rather than a “There have been studies that found X” – even if it’s a scientist or organisation. I see merit in what he is saying, but I definitely have skepticism about a few of the things he talked about.
Shaunna says
I have a 20-month-old and have decided not to vaccinate him at all. I have gotten nothing but flack from his doctor and friends and family, but that just makes me stronger! I have no doubt in my heart that I am doing the right thing. He has barely been sick (nothing more than a slight cold), has a supercharged immune system and is smarter and more “aware” than most toddlers. Can’t tell me that a good part of that is not attributed to not having toxins and chemicals pumped through his system!
Aaron says
Barely being sick is probably different a bit different to becoming infected with a deadly virus. He benefits from a herd immunity caused by everyone else being vaccinated – don’t mistake this for a supercharged immune system.
Marni says
Shaunna, thank you for sharing your experience and the path you have chosen! Seems to be one that aligns with your views and philosophies. Keep doing what you are doing 🙂
Danielle says
Wow. Extremely disappointed with the ending of this episode. I have been a follower of the Ultimate Health Podcast from the beginning, and while I’ve agreed with some material more than others, I have never been so aghast at a particular topic covered. No doubt Mr. Francis is an intelligent man devoted to helping others, but to blatantly state that vaccines DO NOT WORK and are the PRIMARY cause of autism and other behavioral disorders…I’m truly mortified.
Marni, Jesse, and other listeners – PLEASE educate yourselves on this issue before you choose to forego vaccinating your children! The ONE study showing a casual link between vaccines and autism has been deemed completely fraudulent and withdrawn. And now we’ve seen diseases that had been essentially eradicated (whooping cough, measles, etc.) coming back and killing children. It is not enough to read “studies” to make decisions about our health (and the health of CHILDREN, nonetheless) – the quality of the study you’re reading is so incredibly important.
I’m all for being careful about what we put in our bodies and eliminating toxins as much as possible, but non-vaccination of children is a separate issue entirely. Would really like to see an episode weighing the pros and cons of this issue, because leaving it where this episode did is really alarming to me.
Marni says
Hi Danielle, thank you for your comment. We understand that this may have brought up some frustration among some of our listeners. I am not sure if you noticed in our show note, but Jesse and I had a special note as written below…to click the actual links see above.
Our goal with the podcast is to bring information forward so that all our listeners can then make their own educated decisions about all the topics covered. We appreciate where everyone is at in their own health journey.
We hope you keep listening and enjoying the show! Sincerely, Marni.

Danielle, I am so happy to see your post here. I just finished listening and I had to come online to see if anyone else had reacted as I did. I love this podcast and I have so much appreciation for it and the work Marni and Jesse do. I also enjoyed much of what Mr.Francis had to say, however, I too was shocked to hear Mr. Francis speak the
way he did regarding vaccines. I think giving his particular views a loud voice is
alike to spreading fake news. Fact: vaccines safe lives. Many, many
lives. Evidence linking vaccines to autism and other behavioral
disorders has been completely rebutted. I don’t think that people get to have opinions over something that is scientific. I think tea tastes better than coffee that’s an opinion. Vaccines are scientifically proven with an army of peer reviewed evidence. I don’t see the value in having given inaccurate ideas/ potentially dangerous opinions more air time. I just needed to express my concern about this. Otherwise, thank you Marni and Jesse for your hard work and dedication to delivering important health information.
