So I had 85% blockage to my LAD. I woke up and then I just stared at a wall, I'm just like, what the hell just happened? I thought I had a perfect life. So like an idiot, instead of going to the ER, went to the urgent care center, and an urgent care center doctor says, you're dealing with a heart attack, we have to get you to ER at this point in time. I grew up in a very toxic household, to a point having emotional neglect could be one thing, but also end up having to receive death threats growing up, my stepfather. When you look at the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 4, it talks about how God says when you're dealing with mold, contain it, quarantine it, remediate it, or you burn it down.

Dr. John, are you trying to tell me that that COVID vaccine wasn't the end-all cure-all be-all?

John Kim (0:40)

I can't comment on that part, but I've seen injuries. Taking the right supplement at the wrong time can be very poor for your health. One of the things that I don't recommend if you are dealing with chronic illness is that...

Here's an interesting question. How much do you actually know about the way your everyday habits are supporting how you age? We hear so much about longevity right now. Sleep, protein, strength training, nutrition. All of these things matter, but there's another layer that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should. What's happening inside your cells? Your mitochondria produce the cellular energy that your body relies upon every day. And mitochondrial dysfunction? That's considered a central hallmark of aging. And that's why I've been so interested in the work that Timeline does with Mitopure. Mitopure is their pure and patented form of urolithin A. It supports mitochondrial function and cellular renewal by activating mitophagy, your body's natural process for clearing out damaged mitochondria. But rather than just tell you about it, Timeline wants you to think about your own longevity habits. So they've created a longevity quiz that takes just a few minutes and it looks at some of the everyday habits that can support healthy aging. And the best part, if you complete the quiz, Timeline will send you a free sample of Mitopure Gummies. So take the quiz, learn a little bit more about how you're supporting the way you age, and try Mitopure for yourself. Go to timeline.com/jamelli to take the longevity quiz and get your free gummies. That's timeline.com/jamelli.

All right, everybody, welcome back to The Dylan Gemelli Podcast. This is a big one for me, a big one for my friend, because he is not just a friend. I don't call him a friend anymore. I tell him when I say my prayers that he gets put into my family category.

And when I do those, I specifically do it for my wife, my mom, my kids, my cat, who is my daughter. And then there's four other people, and this man in here is one of them. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart that I love him like a brother. He is a brother.

And we are going to really dig deep into several key aspects that I've been learning from him as well, that I think that the world needs to hear. And he's been all over the place lately going on all kinds of big shows. And I'm humbled now that he has decided to come onto mine. Stop.

We had this planned a while ago, but God's timing brings specificity on when we're supposed to do this. And I think now there's a reason for it. So, and I'm giving him a big birthday party this Thursday as well.

Thank you.

But my friend here, my brother, is a functional medicine pharmacist. He's an educator and he's the founder of Kim Wellness. Now, he's a heart attack survivor, which is kind of crazy given when it happened at his age. We're going to get into all that because that was back in 2015

And during this, he found mold, hidden infections and toxins were breaking his body down at the cellular level. And he went where conventional medicine wouldn't. And that's what we do. And that's what our mission is. So we're going to get into all of that today, but we're going to get into much more. So my friends, welcome Dr. John Kim.

John Kim (3:57)

Dylan, thank you so much. It's been an honor to be here. I know we've been playing this for a while. And so I'm so glad that we made this time. And so what about God's timing? Always brings us together.
