Sue Dhillon:
Hi there today on the show, we have got Shane Taylor here with us. Shane, thank you so much for being here. Welcome to the show.

shane taylor:
Thank you for having me.

Sue Dhillon:
Oh, okay. So want to get into your story here, Shane, give us the backstory. You are one of the founders of myhpod.com and it's just such a cool philosophy. But there's a backstory behind this. So give us that story and how you came up with this.

shane taylor:
So long story short, a couple years ago, I was chronically sick. Doctors had no idea what was going on with me. It was passing me around the doctor to doctor, and they came to the conclusion that it was all in my head. The blood work looked fine. Everything looked great. There's no reason why you should feel the way you feel. You're 25 years old, and that's where they kind of chalked it up to. Turns out it's a lot more complex than what it actually was. So I scoured the internet for Dr. Google, finding testimonies, um, people experiencing the same symptoms and stuff like that. And what had happened was is I came to a conclusion that it was more deeper than what it was. I found someone that was able to do certain lab tests that I was looking for. And in that process, they were able to get me the results that I wanted, but it was a lot of spending money going to his physician, to specialists, to different doctors, um, and that kind of left me like feeling hopeless pretty much, and turns out what I had was small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, pancreatic insufficiency and liver toxicity at the age of 25. I was also morbidly obese. I was 220 pounds for my height to put into perspective. I was 60 pounds overweight. Um, and I was so malnourished and mountain, um, lacking so many nutrients and vitamins that my brain was starving to convert certain neurotransmitters memory. And I was actually forgetting my wife's name at the age of 25. So that was very scary, not only for me, but for her having to experience that I was having the symptomology of Alzheimer's where I would forget how to get home. Just walk into the mailbox. Um, and I would have full blown panic attacks, depressive episodes. And again, the doctors talked it up to, we don't know what's wrong. The blood work looks fine. They ran different stool tests with the GI specialist and finding this person that was able to give me the test that I was looking for changed my whole perspective. Uh, it was a year of recovery. Um, but I did everything without the use of pharmaceutical drugs. And then when I got out of it, I never wanted anyone to feel what I felt through the process, so created health pod. It was actually multiple variations before health pod. which was MBS repair and then wellness warehouse and now HealthPod what it is today. But that's pretty much how we got here on making health and wellness, not only my life, but dedicated to helping people change theirs.

Sue Dhillon:
Wow. Okay. So Shane, let's just backtracking for a moment. So, so did you find like a functional, um, medicine doctor, a naturopath or somebody, right?

shane taylor:
So it was actually a functional nutrition coach, but they knew an individual that could get me into labs. And by the grace of God, it's funny because I used to be a hairstylist for 10 years. So this person walked in from a referral of a referral and I was talking about my story and she goes, I think I might be able to help you. So I owe her my life. We're still in contact. We catch up every quarter. So again, I'm very grateful for her.

Sue Dhillon:
Wow, okay, so if you're comfortable sharing, so the doctors tell you, oh, it's nothing, we don't know, whatever, go away. But what was it? What did it turn out to be if you're open to sharing

shane taylor:
So

Sue Dhillon:
that?

shane taylor:
I had a, because I was morbidly obese, my eating wasn't very good. So I was eating every type of food underneath the sun if it tasted good. And I had gotten food poisoning one day and that was like the catalyst that broke the camel's back. So because of that food poisoning, there was certain bacteria that were inside that food and it was pork actually. That led to me having an overgrowth of bacteria in my small intestine. which that became so overpopulated with dysbiotic bacteria. And then that turned into the liver toxicity. And then because my liver wasn't functioning properly, the pancreatic insufficiency happened. And it was just like a bottom up approach. And because I was my pancreatic insufficiency, I wasn't breaking down my protein, carbs, and fats to convert to neurotransmitters. So it was like a whole strain of different triggers that... created the event that led to like the memory loss, the anxiety and the depression and all the symptomology, brain fog, you name it,

Sue Dhillon:
Thanks.

shane taylor:
I had it. And it was one of the scariest moments of my life because I thought I was going crazy. Turns out I wasn't. And it was just a matter of supporting my body in the proper manner of going through blood work and knowing what was actually wrong and fixing it appropriately.

Sue Dhillon:
And then, and you fixed this all naturally, essentially, right? You took kind of a

shane taylor:
Yes.

Sue Dhillon:
holistic approach to fixing all of this.

shane taylor:
Correct. So it was a lot of anti-microbials, which your body doesn't build a resistance to unlike antibiotics. And then it was also a huge lifestyle change, mitigating stress, eating cleaner sourcing, different foods, organic grass fed things of that nature, cutting out sugar, cutting out bread, which I did for a year and something. Now I have it moderately, but different types. So like sourdough and completely changed my life. anxiety gone, depression gone, memory back, better relationship with my wife and building a company that has purpose.

Sue Dhillon:
wow, I love this story and you know, I love, so I know a couple of people going through health stuff right now where they're up against a wall where they intuitively feel like, God, there's gotta be a way to fix this and there's this doesn't sound right, but they just kind of get told that, you know, that same thing that everyone will, this is what it is and here's the, you know, pill for this and no, there's no cure and you can't fix it and whatnot. And it's so frustrating, but I love hearing stories like this about people who find alternative means of healing and actually feel better and are cured and the problem is gone away and you're not on some like pill or pharmaceutical

shane taylor:
Mm-hmm.

Sue Dhillon:
for life,

shane taylor:
Mm-hmm.

Sue Dhillon:
right? That's amazing. So congratulations for being better without

shane taylor:
Thank

Sue Dhillon:
anxiety

shane taylor:
you.

Sue Dhillon:
and all of those things. And so now... This is literally what led you to HealthPod. It was this experience and you said, hey, you know what? I wanna like change the way the system.

shane taylor:
Yep. So, so there's two problems and, and I love that answer is like, well, how do you change the problem? Right? The two main things are, does this work for me? And am I going to get the results that I want? And the second problem is how much does it cost? And that was my biggest thing going through my situation was it was very expensive and nothing worked. So When I started talking to more people, it was the biggest problems that they were facing. Like they were doing all these different diets, but that didn't work. And it was a lot of guesswork. And I asked them, have you ever done blood work? And they're like, yeah, I do with my doctor annually. And I'm like, okay, but do you get any results? Right? Like, if you go to the doctor now and not to bash doctors, but they're only taught a certain thing, right? Like they I'm all for, I speak with doctors on, on multiple occasions. Like this is like my life now. Like I speak to. multiple physicians, multiple specialists, and we work coincide together. Um, but they will give things like, well, you need a lifestyle change diet and exercise, but what does that look like? Right. They don't have the means to create a nutrition protocol. Unlike dietitians. Um, they don't have a means to create an exercise program. And they also don't have time. So these were all the problems that we saw when creating the company. is how can we service people of a high quality level, like an athlete, right? Like an athlete has so many people working for them at the same time, have them the connection 24 seven, where they could talk to us, get a protocol based off of blood work that is more extensive than the doctor's office and actually have someone supporting them through the process and that those were all the main points, right? So when we created the company, it was more of like, how do we know we're going to help this person? And your body doesn't lie. When we see something on the labs, we know what to do. And the fact that we're testing for more, we see more

Sue Dhillon:
Thank you. Have a good

shane taylor:
things

Sue Dhillon:
one.

shane taylor:
that doctors wouldn't pick up then from there, how do we make it affordable? Well, when we first started, our prices were $420 per month. We noticed most people can't afford that. So it was a lot of back and forth conversations with our board and everything like that. How can we make this a commodity? Something someone can use every single day and live like the rich, but not break the bank and actually get the help that the rich are getting. So we came down to a price of $49 per month. Now with that, you get dietitians, personal trainers, health coaches, and blood work, and that is a protocol that you have 24 seven access to, to talk to them saying, Hey, I'm not liking this. Or, um, I want to make a change to this. Well, I just injured my shoulder. What can I do? And you get this constant support and feedback from these team of professionals. And you're feeling like. man, I'm LeBron James that has these team of people working for me. And it's an amazing, uh, experience when you start to see the engagement with our members and our clients saying, Oh my God, you know, I lost the 10 pounds. I couldn't lose or my brain fogs gone or the skin irritation or skin issues are gone or our oldest patient to date that we have 74 years old was on three medications and two shots of insulin. Now being a year with us, no more medication and one insulin shot. And she was. prediabetic for 20 years. Couldn't lose weight, couldn't do nothing. And we were able to help her with our protocol.

Sue Dhillon:
Wow, I love that. And I love that you brought up LeBron James. I love LeBron

shane taylor:
Yes.

Sue Dhillon:
also. So he's got so many haters, but that just means that just tells us how awesome he

shane taylor:
He's

Sue Dhillon:
is,

shane taylor:
doing

Sue Dhillon:
right?

shane taylor:
something great.

Sue Dhillon:
Yeah. So that would be pretty cool to have a team of people just like LeBron. Now this is amazing. So you know how, and not that I need the inner workings, but it almost sounds too good to be real. Like for $49 a month and now let me ask you and I know people can look this all up and I'm gonna have links or a link

shane taylor:
Correct.

Sue Dhillon:
to it for people. But is there like a one year commitment or how does that work, do they have

shane taylor:
So

Sue Dhillon:
to sign up for a certain amount of time?

shane taylor:
there's a 16 week commitment only because once you see the changes, you're not going to want to leave. That's number one. But we need at least four months to really see significant improvement in any symptomology or anything that we may be working with. Because one month of lifestyle change, everyone knows, you know, you don't see much. You don't see the results of going to the gym for one day. Unlike some people, they're like, oh, I see a different cut. Right. But It's a consistent basis and we, we determined with the amount of patients that we work with the members is at the four month mark, you start to see things change like dramatically, um, if you stay consistent with the protocol. So we, we asked for that commitment just so we can make sure that we're giving you enough value. And at the end of the day, if you do the comparisons of apples to oranges on what you're paying for one session for a dietitian or a month for a personal trainer, you still come in way below that marker.

Sue Dhillon:
Wow, I love this. I want to go sign up. So I'm going to look into that after this call. So as far as the blood work goes, so are you guys contracting out with local labs and things? Is that how that would work for or how does that work?

shane taylor:
So we have a partnership with LabCorp, and LabCorp doesn't necessarily run these labs, they just do our blood draw extraction, but this is the way we can get across the nation. So we're in all 50 states, we service all 50 states, including Alaska, because people always ask that. But we have a partnership with them, once they do the blood draw, they send it to the labs, and the lab, we get the results on the backend, and then our dietitians, personal trainers, So they have the ability to treat certain things like gout, type two diabetes, um, cardiovascular things of that nature. And then they create a program based on the deficiencies of the blood work and alongside your symptom.

Sue Dhillon:
Okay, so, but I'm like, as far as somebody, let's say someone doesn't have a health insurance or coverage, so this is, they can get blood work through the membership with like a location, a lab core location or something.

shane taylor:
Absolutely. And we like to say that this is a, an extension of, um, insurance because what we've also noticed is individuals don't get that much coverage on, on their insurance. Like they go to the doctor and they're like, well, this is not medically necessary. Well, we don't have to test for that. Like you're young, you're healthy and you don't meet the criteria, which is in the insurance. So. You. As much help as you do get, it's not really preventative. You can't do preventative things or you can't go to the doctor and say, well, I want, they call it preventative, but at the end of the day, there's not, it's more after effect, like you come to them when you're sick. Um, so unfortunately, you know, there are instances based on your premium and what you're paying and the insurance company that you have, that you might not get access to certain things that you, you would like, or you, you would need in order to improve the quality of your health in your life. Um, so if someone can't afford insurance, this is the next best thing.

Sue Dhillon:
Mm-hmm. I mean, I would say even better. It's almost like, wow, they may be lucked out, right? Because they might

shane taylor:
I mean,

Sue Dhillon:
get

shane taylor:
I

Sue Dhillon:
some

shane taylor:
would like to

Sue Dhillon:
real

shane taylor:
say.

Sue Dhillon:
answers. I know, I'm being facetious here, but I really do. I've seen this story play out too many times where we're not always getting the answers we need from that just traditional, you know, taking that route where you go to the doctor and... it, you know, and so many people I know who are on medications and, you know, people will tell them, Hey, no, you have to be on this medication for the rest of your life. And then that person goes to a functional medicine doctor and it's like, no, you don't. And they're better and their sugars down and the cholesterol is down or whatever. Right. Everything kind of and, and it's a, it's actually fixing the problem at the root. We're not just kind of band-dating it right so I love this now so how long have you guys been in operation

shane taylor:
So I'm about to turn 30. My birthday's in two weeks, on May

Sue Dhillon:
Happy

shane taylor:
24th.

Sue Dhillon:
birthday!

shane taylor:
Thank you, thank you. But when I got sick, I was 25. When I got out of it, we created, well, I created, it was like my own private practice, MBS Repair, which stood for Mind, Body, Soul Repair. And then from there, I found my current partner, because that was another partnership I had. I found my current partner, and we created Wellness Warehouse. That was in operations for probably about like, Eight, nine months, we fell out of love with the name and then we created HealthPod. And now HealthPod is coming up on the two year anniversary mark.

Sue Dhillon:
And it seems to be going really well. It's kind of, it's taking off because this is, it's such a unique and necessary component. Like we, people need this and you're seeing that, right? So is the growth, has it been exponential? Do you, are you getting members all over?

shane taylor:
So it's a lot of referrals. We're mostly in Florida right now. We do have a couple members in other states that they found us through Google searches and stuff like that. But we just tapped into really different areas that we can see that where we can really provide value. And we're projected to see huge changes, not only in the amount of members, but also and the amount of individuals we could help. So we're branching out into the athletic department. So we're working with athletes. We're signing athletes as sponsors for our company. We are getting into like MMA, CrossFit, grid league, different things of that nature. We're working with moms with postpartum. We're working with disease management. We're working with general population. So it's only a matter of time before this really catches on. And again, the value speaks for itself where you're able to get. Blood work that gives you a great insight to your body. Obviously your body doesn't lie. And then a team to help you along that process.

Sue Dhillon:
Okay, and so it really ideally you really do want to do the whole kind of cohesive thing and take advantage of all of it right to kind of

shane taylor:
Mm-hmm.

Sue Dhillon:
really tackle health.

shane taylor:
Correct. So health pod actually stands for health protocols on demand. Um, meaning it's a protocol based on your health. Um, so that is kind of the message that we give to people. It's we're no longer guessing this isn't, Oh, cut your calories or something. We're looking deep into the body and giving you a protocol based on your unique design that will help your life improve the quality of your life.

Sue Dhillon:
And now this is all online, like with the trainers and everybody. It's kind of you. It's custom tailored, but you're doing kind of like a one on one thing online.

shane taylor:
Correct. So it's a 24 seven chat support. We have an app and everything that you talk to your dietitian. Um, we, what we saw in the medical field was that there was a huge delay of communication. If you needed help, you had a booking appointment and then you have to wait days in order to get that appointment. Right. It shouldn't be like that. So what we designed is with health pod, you have the 24 seven chat support system where you can message your, your dietitian, your coach, your trainer. And ask them any questions and get that, that, um, hashed out right there so that you're getting the support you need and you're not waiting days for a response you answered within the same day.

Sue Dhillon:
Wow, this is amazing. And now assuming you have health professionals and experts, trainers, dietitians from all over the country then who are kind of collectively coming in and assisting, that is amazing. I love this, Shane. And now,

shane taylor:
Thank

Sue Dhillon:
so

shane taylor:
you.

Sue Dhillon:
what is, this is so cool. Now, what is the biggest, where are you guys seeing the biggest growth like with clients? Is it people? more low income people just because this is so cost effective. I mean, again, it's kind of blowing my mind. It sounds almost too good to be true. It's like, OK, there's is there some fine print? Is there something he's not telling us?

shane taylor:
So I'll lay it all out for you right now. There's a 299 enrollment and then $49 per month, 16 week commitment, no more fine print. Like when you see the agreement and everything, it's very clear and to the point that you're not being ousted of anything. You're not being withheld anything like the medical fields where you go to the hospital and you get four different bills. No, you get what you pay for and it's all in one thing. You'll see the monthly transaction out of your account and it's very simple and to the point. As far as people that we are seeing join the company as a member, it's more mid-class. Unfortunately, health is not taught in lower communities and that's something, you know, where we would want to branch into. We have so many ideas that we want to create, you know, campaigns, events where donations would actually be able to service individuals that can't afford even the $49 per month. So we're... In year two, to kind of give you a glimpse into what we're doing, we're doing a walk for, it's called a distance for disease. And eventually we would be able to raise capital and raise money to where we can provide individuals, uh, that have a certain disease that are tied up with medical bills and give them treatment with the blood work, the dietitian, personal trainer, everything for free to meet them where they're at. So that's one of our visions for the future.

Sue Dhillon:
Oh my God, I love that. So making real positive change here, that's so awesome. And now, so tell us again the list of what people have access to with health.

shane taylor:
So they have access to comprehensive blood work and that's a 52 lab biomarker. So for example, when you go to the doctor, it's normally between 15 and 20 different biomarkers you're testing for, for general health. With HealthPod, you're testing for 52. So it gives you a lot more. We have tests that go up to 125 biomarkers. Obviously that's an additional expense. But again, we like to start people right at the basics. So 52 biomarkers. that give a great insight to your health and how you can optimize your wellbeing. Secondly, once we receive the blood work, you get access to your dietitian, your personal trainer and health coach, and they create a protocol around you and your blood work and your symptomology and everything that you write in the questionnaire that we have when you onboard to the program. From there, you also have the 24 seven chat support where you can message your dietitian, message your coach, message your trainer. And then, um, you have access to different supplementation as well. So we, we have a third party company that we partner with that we call it the Amazon of supplements that we look for the highest quality supplements that we source to provide for our members, because there's a lot of supplements that have. Unactivated forms of the vitamin. And let's say if you're not absorbing B12 properly and you're getting cyanide cabalamin, I know this is a little bit of science. You want to take things like metal or hydro cabalum, which was by more bio available in the body. So when you take that, if your body's not converting it properly, you, once you take it, it's already making the work and doing the work already for your body. So those are pretty much everything that you get with the program. And then we have like additional testing, like stool tests. If you need to do a comprehensive stool test and you get the team as well, that is paired with that. Or if you want to do the 125 biomarker that gives access to cellular conversion of energy, oxidative stress, um, mold, toxicity, um, your Krebs cycle. Are you breaking down your proteins, carbs? And it's a very big complex thing. And actually myself ever since I got in sick, those are the three tests, three tests I take every single year, um, in order to be on top of my health. And I haven't been to a doctor since then because I feel great. And because those, if I, if I do feel off, I do the lab, the lab gives me insight. Okay. This is struggling. This is happening. And to give you kind of insight last year, I just took mine and we just had a baby last year, so a lot of stress, very tired and running it, trying to run a company. It's, it's very exhausting on the body. And when I did the labs, everything was fine, but I had certain deficiencies in magnesium B seven, which are directly correlated to stress and sleep. And it. It just, it still surprises me when we run the labs and what I'm feeling is directly seen on the labs. I'm like, okay, that makes sense. And then just supplementation from there, tweak little things. What can I do better? And I, and. Perfectly fine up and running within like a couple of days back to my normal.

Sue Dhillon:
Wow, I love it. Now, Shane, what is next for HealthPod? Where are you guys planning on taking this? Is there gonna be more growth in terms of coverage or treatment or what is next on the agenda?

shane taylor:
So like I said, in the near future, we wanna do the nonprofit association where we can give individuals healthcare for free, like other countries are doing, and still make it affordable, right? Like helping out the ones below you, I think that is always something giving back is a great thing to do. The next thing is we believe that the gym is the next doctor's office, right? So our mission is to partner with gyms where you can go to your local gym, scan a QR code, and get blood work order right then and there. Um, and then you also have your personal training there. That's another vision that we have for the future. So we're really excited as to partnering with these different facilities, even doulas that, you know, work with moms and postpartum different communities that we can tap into to where you're not waiting to get sick, you can do, live your life on your terms and it's not breaking the bank and you can actually live like the rich that are, are, you know, spending thousands of hundreds of hundreds of thousands of dollars for their. your team and you get it for $49 per month.

Sue Dhillon:
Wow, I love that. And it sounds like, I mean, you could even, like you're saying, the doula, I mean, that's more hands on, but even allowing people to access some of this, like what if, you know, somebody needed a physical therapist, maybe they pay a little more, but it's still so much now I'm like, giving you ideas, business ideas for your company. But

shane taylor:
So

Sue Dhillon:
you know what I mean?

shane taylor:
we are looking into the future of actually onboarding physicians to HealthPod. So you could actually come to HealthPod, get a diagnosis, and then get treatment from there. So that is something we are looking for on the horizon. But there's a lot of legalities that go behind that and making sure that we're up to status quo and not interfering with anything. So again, it's something that it would be amazing if you can come to HealthPod and say, I want a diagnosis or whatever it may be, and then go from there and then get a team to out treat whatever the doctor diagnoses you with.

Sue Dhillon:
Yeah, and again, I think, you know, just getting back to this point is really this alternative means of treatment at a cost effective, you know, it's not just, okay, well, you could go to this doctor, you could come here, but it's like really, you're incorporating these type of treatment that again, is really kind of helping people live more optimally versus just going to the doctor.

shane taylor:
100%.

Sue Dhillon:
Yeah, wow, that is awesome. And now, you know, what is a myth around health that you would like to crack here today? Is there something that people need to know young men? You know, I know men, young guys like you are really afraid to go to the doctor? Is there something

shane taylor:
Yeah.

Sue Dhillon:
you want to like just tell people, in general men, women about their health?

shane taylor:
You know, I've been waiting for this someone to ask me this question on a podcast because I have said it so many times to individuals, even after experiencing it on myself, and it is very controversial and people don't like it. Anxiety and depression is not a diagnosis. It is a symptom. So if you are feeling this as someone who went through chronic panic attacks, debilitating depression where I couldn't leave the house, couldn't drive my car. All of that. becoming agoraphobic Where you're afraid of like crowds and crowded places developing health anxiety all these things that I went through personally and Them telling me the doctors telling me You know you're diagnosed with this you're diagnosed with that and telling me all these diagnosis is like you're diagnosed with depression or generalized anxiety disorder if I would have believed them and labeled myself I would not be here today helping individuals. And my biggest belief is that when we can support the body, the mind follows. And it took me years to figure this out, but you are not your mind. You are the function of the brain. So I like to say that it runs separate the brain and the mind. The brain is the machine that puts out the thoughts. The mind is what perceives those thoughts, right? The sub the conscious. If we can make the machine, the brain pump out good quality thoughts by supporting the function that feeds the brain, you will see a complete change in your life, your, your behavior and. Your perception and optimism will increase because the machine is working properly and it's not pumping out negative thoughts. And it took me a long time to figure that out because I'm someone who came from smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, eating like a slop. 220 pounds overweight, no exercise, no nothing. And there was no coincidence why my life was shit. Sorry for cursing, but if anyone could walk away with anything, it's that do not label yourself before you tried everything. And, and that is my biggest mission with health pod is to give people hope that let's say if we do everything possible, we bring your body to complete 100% optimal health. and you're still experiencing these things, then there's something going on. But again, did you have a head injury? There's all things that have caused this anxiety or depression. It is not a diagnosis that you're just born with. And I know there's so many arguments against it of, well, you have a chemical imbalance, but the research shows that anything that you consume or ingest into your body changes your body chemically and physiologically. Um, so eating food changes the chemical chemistry of your body, putting lotion on your skin changes the chemical chemical composition in your body. All these things change the chemical. So to say that this is a chemical imbalance invalidates the individual of what they're actually feeling and being told, and I will never forget the day my wife was sitting down next to me and the doctor said, Shane, we done everything, there's nothing wrong with you.

And I w I remember I sat in the car and I started crying to my wife and I said, she has no idea what she's talking about. I'm going to find no way out of this. And sure enough, uh, after I recovered, I booked an appointment with her and. She goes, how are you feeling? And I go a lot better,

Thank you.

Sue Dhillon:
Mm, all
