He's spent 29 years measuring over 50,000 people, and in all that time, hasn't even found five who were properly hydrated. John breaks down why drinking more water isn't solving anything, why cellular dehydration is the root cause of virtually every illness and disease (from Lyme and Crohn's to ED, low testosterone, joint degeneration, and hormone imbalances), and the simple protocol that's reversing what doctors call irreversible. If you're tired of being told to manage your symptoms and ready to actually fix the root cause, this is the episode you've been waiting for. 🔗 Connect with John Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnjubilee Website: https://www.energizedhealth.com/brad Watch the full-length video version of any Dropping Bombs episode here on YouTube .
