and her sister company energy foods which you see here energy food provides a wide variety of options for a healthy clean eating organic meal prep and delivery right yeah all right so corey welcome tell me the viewers about you hello thank you think that energy for he came about because as we all realize that optimal health comes from a lot of different avenues a lot of different facets so energy flow is about making keeping the mind healthy in the spirit energy of medications that i was taking to treat multiple sclerosis coupled with medications for lyme disease in which i had found out later on and all these toxins were building and building in my body my body wasn't able to metabolize them  what any rate i had to start from scratch and really start figuring out how to restore my body and what was going on and along my journey i started to explore the things that i was eating and what those toxins were really doing because before that i really had no knowledge and the more that i learned about what was in our food the past the science the herbicides the antibiotics the chemicals the preservatives the preserve it  different kinds of things and i was experiencing all of that while i had terrible neuropathy throughout my body i had a lot of anxiety and depression i had inflammation everywhere my gut i had a leaky gut syndrome so basically all these were leaking into my bloodstream traveling up to my brain and sending missed missed messages and corey when you were experiencing this the physician's going to figure they didn't as a matter of fact i can tell you what since two thousand and two when i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and i really didn't have much knowledge about auto immune dysfunction i said how does nutrition play a part is there anything i could eat or supplement with right and these top neurologist said to me you know you can but it's not really going to do anything wow i want to hear that statement it's not going to do anything really and that that statement was it didn't really resonate even as a layperson i didn't understand how that could be beneficial  nonetheless i started to participate in the conventional way and we got to where we got to backtrack a little bit so when i started to explore the food a little bit and these toxic chemicals that were in the food and what they could possibly be and to me i started to remove them one by one and the gluten which was deadly for me without anybody with or immune dysfunction it's not just celiacs you need to be concerned it pokes holes in our abdomen in our stomach lining and that makes everything leak out oh well into our  blood but there was a lot of things and sugar how that causes cravings and withdrawals when you try to remove it it's a drug there's a chemical in a lot of proteins in dairy are linked to cancer and all these things so i became obsessed and i built quite an extensive library in my home about food i started working with two holistic nutritionist good simultaneously who were guiding me along the way and me being a creative soul i wanted to have fun with my food and it was also a source of rehabilitation chopping vegetables trying to regain strength in the right side of my body in my hand my fine motor skills that was a really good source of rehabilitation and intellectually and spiritually being able to prepare my food and create a control in my environment i chose what i was going to put in my body i chose when i was going to remove i made those choices and when i was you know participating conventionally i really didn't feel empowered i felt like the choice was taken from me it was like here's the script take it right and i never felt well so did you because i know you have the physicians put you on medicine put you on some prescriptions how did you get yourself off of th wish i could say that i made that choice consciously but i was left in such a state on these last final medications that i should i tried every one of them and they all i had to be on a full accept reactions i had sensitivity to every drug i lost my hair i had rashes i had the flu for two years straight i think wait wait you had the flu for two years straight yes it's a miracle that you're here yeah i know and these were side effects i honestly of of these medications so my defining moment was when i was laying paralyzed in a bed and all my nerve endings were stripped so it felt like i was burning alive in a fire that's how it felt it was a barbaric pain that i wouldn't wish on anybody i had to find a way to what was i going to do next where was i going to go i called the f d a i called the pharmaceutical companies what's happening to me and it was told to me it was confidential i was the answer i received so i was  come where the pharmaceutical company is yeah and the f d a told you that it was yet also done so because they had given me some medications that right i looked and it said they shouldn't be combined i hear there's a counter indication yeah i'm trying to figure out what is going on with me  know and i'm trying to have an understanding is this permanent like what it was so i made all these calls and i was trying to navigate my way so basically it was a dead end and i really had to just figure out how i can help  myself and that's what i said talked about last time i was on the show through you know the pain thing in the journaling right you know it was helpful to spiritually and mentally it did help with my fine motor skills but i also needed to take control in what i can do with food and supplementation so that's what i did and i started to cook and learn about fruits and vegetables and the power that they can provide us with in our body and restoration and anybody who says they're not powerful is is very wrong it is of it was probably the biggest transformation that i made came from the food that i chose to participate with and how long ago did you stay where you are on the journey to start with the food i would say  years ago i started i started to remove and really detoxify myself tried to get to the root cause yeah and i started to take out some of the gluten right i took out the sugar and i removed the dairy  and little by little i started continuing to remove and removing the soil and all the other things because unfortunately when we go gluten free there's a lot of other things in gluten free products that are just as harmful potentially so it was a long journey and it was a step by step it wasn't over i fix it was a long time in the making of putting these things into my body and little by little a lot of things started to change the neuropathy in my hands became less severe the movement the mobility and when did you see positive changes start to occur i would say around three months into it i started to notice a lot of shift and that kind of gave me that that  go there but you know how animals eat ok right so i started to really decide to do a plant based diet for you yeah and you know i i always thought i would miss these things oh my god i love cheese and i loved meat and i love you know a bagel and i love all these things about my problem is dessert so yes i do you know doesn't love chocolate brownie all right so you know i but i think that ultimately when you get to a point that i got and you're fighting for your life right because i know that sounds dramatic but it is that dramatic you are really fighting for your life you don't really care about the brownie it's there's a shift that takes place and it says i need to take care of me right and and that's what i did and i learned i learned how to cook and i learned how to cook properly how i can still enjoy eating because i used to be a physical trainer a personal trainer a long time ago and i was one of the people said oh equal chicken and boil over your vegetables then and it was very bland you know and it was all about weight loss right now at that time and ironically i said i drank coffee and i said to myself what's the one fattening thing i'm doing because i was all about being lean and i said i'm eating i'm having sugar in my coffee oh yeah it's what you put in a call i have and have zero all glory but here's the switch here's the switch and follow me with this because when i made that switch in two thousand and two from sugar i put artificial sweetener my coffee because there was no calories in equal  six months later i was diagnosed with a mass and from drinking three cups of coffee with equal every day and we know how powerful the artificial sweetener so it was kind of revisiting my past the choices i made and seeing where i in my present day and that led me here so what is the mission of energy food and she spills energy with an inner energy in your energy and because it begins with you or begins with i you know being the first person so what is your current mission honestly my current mission is two things i want people to realize that healthy choice making isn't about low calorie necessarily choice me it's about and we're going to see that we are going to see that but but clean eating is about just that eating clean no preservatives no chemicals and i want to make bring the awareness to people that eating clean can be enjoyable it can taste gr so those are my beacon tacos they can be implemented with some grilled chicken or beef but i prefer a lean mean these are they don't even need me these are made with sweet potato black bean radio show and first of all it's delicious everything's delicious that she has but when you said did you meet them i mean something i ask you where did your course you know have people to get the food but you know the chip of this is organic always no you know one thing about there's a reason why people don't cook organic you know why well yeah because it's expensive and it's not a little backwards right like what's healthy and beneficial cost more yeah i think there's less chemicals in it it should be cheaper right but unfortunately it's not so core you believe you love and this is one of my favorites that is really really good and you know there's a lot of food here and i know we're going to get into your menu but let's go through the items and then we can get into the menu right here this is one of my favorites because it's a letters from the letters boat and i make it's made with organic chicken chopped chicken some some million personal seasonings garlic and a couple of other things chestnuts and a few different things but this makes a really nice meal and it's really filling a lot of people think lettuce and i'm not going to be filled but if you take one and you try one it entire night full you mean afterwards him bloated right exactly and then you go to sleep and you have no energy and you're just kind of like so with my food you feel energized you really do it my clients will say i don't feel tired i don't feel like i'm dragging i feel like i have an energy for the day or so that's what i do i use a lot of fruits with antioxidants a lot of vegetables that really give all the beneficial vitamins we need we can point to all the all of the all of the positive results from these from your food you know so this is my new creation actually i do i do a lot with sweet potatoes but we just started this one this is a hollowed out sweet potato and it's stuffed with salsa and black scallion so it really makes a nice meal too because you just give like three and it's really nice for that begin vegetarians too like i have another one i put some turkey chopped meat in with that but you got to eat the skin you get so much out of the skin you do  dip that has beings and different kind of vegetables in it and there is a line dressings for that so you can take a chip if you want and you can try to take a chip in and we thank you chip but i like you so you make change this chip no i do not make i can't take credit for this cory oh my ok so as everyone can see and got a lot of healthy food here now let's talk about your menu because you told me that they were hot off the press  were created because everybody loves pizza it's like the american pastime like people like pizza yeah but i don't know i know but it's doesn't have to be because it's long as you have a good sauce you can work with it oh ok so the i was nice because it does make a nice crunch so you do have that crunching it texture and you can load it with any kind of vegetable you want every all my clients have different choices i'll tell you right now dr joy is going to order the energy flow out of pineapple and i put berries and i put granola and all different kinds of fresh fruits it's a delicious desert and the fruits for the sweetness and you have a lot of nutrients in the grill i guess it's really nice i don't and and and in the summer i'm doing trying to turn over on the back of the all different kinds of burgers so greek salad burgers veggie burgers and it's not going to be just your standard turkey burger veggie burger like i'm actually making them like with so a lot of people like to barbecue so i'm prepping all this stuff so that people can order it and write these in bulk on that and they can run the barbecue season with it you know we're going to do some fun things for the summer so let's talk about how you prep and let's also spoke about your delivery ok so my delivery i am now serving new york new jersey and parts of pennsylvania we are expanding we are growing it is taking off i have to say i am very blessed because i opened doors about three months ago and i'm prepping two hundred meals a week so it's really growing and i'm excited i'm tired but excited as your past is my passion and so my passion because i just believe in the power of going to church and i know i'm a walking billboard i know what it did for me and it gave me my life back and i don't take medication i'm not on conventional medications and over three years this is my medicine and  yeah and i will tell you i'll share with you because we're all human and we make mistakes and sometimes i've cheated and i've had and i've had things where when i've been our parties or whatever that i knew first hand there was going to be  right and because of the surroundings and the lack of you know other options we make the choice to choose right and and what was your reaction to your body when you when you decided to take a little cheat i'll tell you the truth i woke up after cheating a couple of times that we i had brain fog my balance was off the neuropathy in my hands was tingling and burning and but no i needed to i needed that because it was this it was this holding me accountable to what i know to be true so you know yeah and how how if i wasn't so sure and i think i actually i recently did a show where i was fielding some questions from some listeners who had a similar experience where they removed gluten and when they reintroduced it they got really sick again own and they had that same experience so they have to learn sometimes we have to learn a little bit b biased so corey how can my viewers get in
