Live Replay: Dangers of Toxic Implants & Holistic Beauty Hacks

Sam: 0:00

Welcome back to another What’s Eating You Live. Yes, it has been a minute. That’s what I was. I was like, it’s been a minute. I know. But we are back, baby, on the lives. We have definitely been releasing episodes every single week. So anything you’ve missed, you can go check out. But we are back here live to answer questions, to fill you in on our last episode a little bit, tap back in. There were a lot of questions surrounding X planting and mold and detoxing after getting breast implants removed, which is a huge topic. And we are here today discussing all things health and beauty because February is what’s eating you’s health and beauty month. We’re covering it all from the natural things, from talking about plastic surgery and Botox in fillers and the harm and dangers of certain things. We are here to bring the info to help you guys be more informed. And we’re gonna dive into skin, hair, nails, we’re gonna dive into makeup and chemicals and toxic chemicals and clothes and healthy, clean, organic, toxin-free clothes.

Kim: 1:15

Everyone always asks what I do to my skin. So we actually will be showing you because Alyssa, before I left Seattle, she and I did a little podcast together so that you could see what I’m doing, which is super helpful for when we are referring people to like, this is how you can do this in a non-toxic way. There’s different ways you can boost your collagen after you’ve been chronically ill. And you know, I did definitely notice a difference in my skin once I started to heal my body. But it’s really difficult when you have lost that collagen and you’ve been heavier. And when you’re sick, you sit a lot, like right. So you get these lines and this, and I’m very expressive. But all of this has been micronatling, which is a natural way to do things. Lima laser. Oh, yeah, the lima laser hands down. The loom box. Uh-huh. The loom box. Yes, it’s the best. It helps with skin, but I I use it for pain. And so it’s oh yeah, my thumbs. I haven’t been able to use a pen to write over the last um like eight weeks. I haven’t been able to use like my hands like that because of my thumb. So I’ve been sticking it on the lima laser, flipping it every six minutes.

Sam: 2:35

Let’s dive in a little bit, Kim. I would love to start off with our one of our latest episodes with Tammy Dean, who we love. Shout out Tammy, we love you. Tammy Dean had breast implants for 32 years, and they started making her sick six months after she got them, and she had them in her body for 32 years. Then she ex-planted, she got them removed, and that’s when her true detox started. And a huge part of her detox journey has been RogersHood products and the kids and the cleanses. She swears by them. She says it changed everything for her help. So we’ll circle back around on that. But Kim, I love a little bit of your expertise when it comes to a couple of the questions that we did receive for that episode. So someone asked during the episode, Kim and Tammy said, please, everyone, this is very important. If you have breast implants, do not get into a sauna. Don’t do it. So someone asked in a question or in the comments. I’m just wondering what happens when you do have implants and get in the sauna? What will happen?

Kim: 3:43

Well, I’m gonna tell you what my thing is, but I’m also gonna read something then off of like direct where you can go and research your guys’ self. But it says it’s generally safe, but to be honest with you, it’s not safe because it’s heating your whole body temperature up and they’re plastic, right? They’re like, so you’re just heating inside of your body, and specifically if you’re like an infrared sonic because it heats from the inside out, and it can create uh micro tears. I’m not the expert, but the statistics from what I know is it can create little micro tears inside of the actual implant, which then can cause you to have a slow leak. And we’ll talk definitely. We have another question about what the difference is, but it’s just it’s too hot. I mean, really, if you think about how hot you get. So it says here that it’s okay at a lower temperature. That’s so the whole process of going into a sauna is that it’s a high heat to make you sweat. Right. So if you’re just gonna do infrared, if you’re just gonna do infrared, you can do that. That’s fine. It’s when you get inside of a box that it’s just all hot, hot, hot.

Sam: 5:00

And like well, even common sense, right? You know, you know, we only drink water out of glass bottles. One of the reasons we say don’t drink out of plastic is a lot of the times the plastic water bottles are sitting in hot trucks delivered to stores for who knows how long it’s been in that water bottle, and then there’s plastic being leached into the water. So we know this about plastic. So it’s like already we know, don’t you would never pour like hot tea into a plastic water bottle and drink it. You’d be like, oh, that’s like the plastic is gonna be all in there, right? So having having this in your body inside internally and heating yourself up to a high temperature, to me, it’s leaching out. And I’m no expert, but to me, that’s just common sense that it would be leaching out. But how wild that you would have to have that kind of limitation of something that’s so healthy for you to do, you know what I’m saying?

Kim: 5:51

So something that helps detox you, yeah, but you’re also changing the infrastructure of the implant. So it’s not meant to be subject to high heat, like a hundred and above, right? So you’re changing the structure, you’re changing the dynamic, you’re weakening it. I’ll do my infrared sauna a couple of times a week, and it’s just a thoracic one. But I’ve bought a sunlight one, and that thing goes really hot. And so I’m baking from the inside out to make my body sweat and detox, and it’s really focused on pushing out the toxins, but you’ve got this huge toxin in your breast. And I’m not judging, I openly admit I’ve had breast reductions surgery, so it’s not like I’m against plastic surgery, but I see a lot of people, including my sister who has breast implants, and I’ve seen people like Tammy, and you know, it it is a breeding ground for when you are exposed to environmental toxins. It’s a breed, it’s a breeding ground, and so it’s unfortunate.

Sam: 7:03

I asked you guys um specifically because I was so fascinated by the fact that parasites and worms live inside breast implants. They live inside breast implants. And I was blown away when you guys told me that I had never heard of that in my life. And so when I asked you guys why, like, why, how, why is that where they choose to go? And you guys are like, where does mold like to grow? And I’m like, dark, wet, and warm. And you’re like, exactly, these are petri dishes in the dark, wet, and warm space of your body for them to grow. And think about when you when it has a leak, now it’s open, so they can go inside of it. And you said build their own biofilm, and now it becomes their actual like home and nest. And I didn’t know, but you you shared that when women get them removed, you can actually see mold and parasites all over them.

Kim: 8:00

Yeah, and and and so they live in there, right? You just created a pond. The breast implant is an encased pond where anything can live in it when you have a slow, slow leak or an opening of some kind. And I think people that have not ever been in the breast implant world or even um this type of a world where you’ve got a cleanse, I think they forget that like structurally things break down. And when they start to do that, that’s the like that’s the important part for the ecosystem that is forming inside of your body because they’re like, oh, but weakened spot. It’s a weakened spot. I was talking with a lady the other day, and her daughter um broke her hip, and then they were in mold, and the only place that they could find tangible mold was where her hip was broken. This is so interesting. A weakened spot, and then and then on top of it, you guys, and I know this from my own experience from having a breast reduction. When they close you up after you’ve had a surgery, well, and I’ve had 13 surgeries, bacteria and mold spores and multiple different types of candida yeast can end up in your surgical stitching. I was watching this one doctor a couple of weeks ago, and he said that one of his people that he worked with for 27 years after she had uh her child, she stopped walking for 27 years, and it was because she ripped and they sewed her shut and it had had mold spores in it, and it had candida that got sewn inside. When you have a scar like a created scar from the breast implant, you should move, you should push it and move on it to move out whatever can live inside of it. So many levels of when you have breast implants and how sick you can get.

Sam: 10:00

Yeah, I learned so much. You guys, if you missed that episode, please go tap in. You won’t believe how informative it is, how inspiring Tammy’s story is, how she swears by the MolDeze Kit, she swears by the ParaFy Kit, and her absolute fave, go-to daily favorite is the LymF Kit to keep her lymph moving because she said when they sewed her up, they sewed up part of her lymph. So it hasn’t been able to flow and move. And the LymF Kit from RogersHood has helped keep her lymphatic system open and flowing and draining. And that is a miracle, Kim. Like, I mean, it is just so powerful. I just got goosebumps. Just to think about that. Like Tammy says that when you get X planted, that’s when the real detox begins. And the fact that she met you and has such support with these really powerful, effective herbal tinctures and kits that you designed everything to come into one and you don’t have to think about it. Comes with instructions. You can just go for it. You have it all right there. And all the formulas were pre-thought out with such precision and accuracy and just effectiveness, you guys. Like they’re game changers. So please go tap into that episode. If you want to go and get RogersHood kits, any of them, you can use the code what’s eating you at Rogershood.com for 10% off. We spell it what’s eating in the letter U. But we also, let’s just sidebar for a second because Kim has a little bit of exciting news too, where you can where else can you find RogersHood Kits?

Kim: 11:32

Well, we officially are now on Amazon. Yeah, that’s really exciting. It just allows us to have a little more freedom and be a little more mainstream. And freedom meaning we only currently sold on Instagram and TikTok, and we’ve been able to have a company for the last four years on these social media platforms, and so it feels a little more secure for us that even though no one may never go over and buy, and it is the same price as if you buy from our website, it does allow us to have more freedom over what big tech can do to us because you know these accounts are big accounts, but now we have the opportunity to continue to keep growing as a company and not have us be right, Erica?

Sam: 12:19

Yay!

Kim: 12:20

Not have us be on the sum of them. I mean self-sufficient, baby. We’re self-sufficient. I just think that it’s such a crazy thought process to think of how censored we genuinely are in this world of talking about wellness. And so it’s a lot less stress for me because it makes it so that I can continue to show up in a more uh loud and authentic way because I have the opportunity to go over to Amazon and we are there and it’s beautiful. We just did the storefront, it just looks beautiful. I think you might have been the first one to actually have seen it, and it it really like it. We’ve been working on it for a while. There’s a lot of things because we manufacture our own products that was stopping us and and holding us up. And now we’re there and I love it, and we’ve got some other game um plans for you know, we really are gonna finish up the TikTok shop and allow us to continue to expand because I mean, this is where we’re going in what the world we’re going here. And if we’re not we’re already here, I see it. Like I’m out in the world and I’m seeing 2026, baby.

Sam: 13:32

Fire horse, let’s go.

Kim: 13:35

I’m a horse. I was born in the year of the horse. I’ve heard though that like if you’re born in the horse, it won’t be your year, but I’m not subscribing to that.

Sam: 13:43

Well, you you you define your year yourself. Yeah, it’s a the future is bright for Rogers Hud. It’s looking so bright, and we’re so excited, you guys. So definitely go check them out anywhere you can, Rogerson.com, Amazon, you can now find them on both, which is so exciting. We wanted to share that with you guys. There’s one more question about um X our X Plant episode I wanted to circle back around to, and then we can move on. When we were discussing X-planting with Tammy, it blew my mind that we live in a country where even if a woman is extremely sick from the implants, it’s not covered by insurance to get them removed. And it just seems so dangerous and just unresponsible of the healthcare system and the way it’s set up. So someone asked a really thought-provoking question that I would love to bring back to you since you are the one with the history in Western medicine and all of the coding and the things you understand about billing, right? So someone said, Isn’t that automatically an emergency that should be covered by insurance? Many years ago, I read about a woman who couldn’t get help with removal, but she knew she was very sick. She ended up in the ER bathroom and they cut them out there. It took emergency surgery to happen. So please dive into that a little more to educate people on what’s the deal with that.

Kim: 15:10

Well, there’s no code. There’s no insurance code for that type of scenario and the way Western medicine operates. And some of you guys may or may not know this, but I wrote insurance and coding books and I also helped navigate when I think it was 2009 and 10, where uh Obama came in and said we need to have everything electronic. And so I helped navigate that. And then I wrote electronic medical records books for us to navigate it. And so um there everything has to have a code, everything has to have an ICD nine, ICD 10, ICD 11 code. And and in order for you to get paid as a practitioner, you’ve got to code it. And so if there’s not one of those, then you can’t perform, so you don’t get paid. That’s an elective surgery. So that that’s the thing is because it’s an elective surgery, insurance, Western Medicine Insurance, won’t pay for it unless it’s like a full emergency situation where it’s bursted. And even then, even then, you will probably get stuck with some of that bill. They might be able to code it so that there’s specific things like the x-ray, the MRI, um the anesthesiologist, they can come in and code it with some of the supplies, but then you’re going to potentially be stuck with the bulk of the surgery itself. So there’s times where, like when my sister had resided implants, she had something defective in her breast. And so they were able to give a code to the insurance to pay for parts of her anesthetics, which were anesthesia, which is only like a grand. But you know, these are expensive surgeries, but the rest of it was fully her. And then she had to switch it out. And because of a defect, she got parts of it paid for, but not all of it. And you have to find a facility that is knowledgeable in order for them to even be able to run it by the insurance. You know what I’m saying? So if you’ve got a good doctor who knows how to use the system, and that’s what it’s about. And so there are ways that it can be covered, but in her case, it probably was partially covered and partially not. For me, when I had my breast reduction surgery, it had to do with medical. And I had been in a terrible car accident. And every time my chiropractor would go in and adjust me, I was so top heavy by a lot of weight. Like they took out like five pounds in each breast. And so I have like divots in my neck uh from my bra being so heavy. And so the insurance paid for that. Actually, the state of Utah paid for me to have a breast rejection because I was able to bring medical documentation to them and say, I this is damaging me. It’s causing me back problems. My chiropractor and my surgeons have all said that I’m gonna need back, I’m gonna have back problems, so you need to fix this, and then the insurance paid for it. But when you come to them and you’re like, listen, like I want, I want bigger boobs, they’re gonna be like, you can go pay for that, you know.

Sam: 18:17

I see. So, okay, so totally got that. What’s the difference between a slow leak and an emergency leak that is, I think you worded it earlier, poisoning you, or or how did you word that? And what’s the difference between the two?

Kim: 18:33

Well, it’s like a full rejection when it pops, and that can happen. I think who was I where I was watching some reality show, I don’t remember who it was, but one of their breast implants popped on the show while they were sitting there. Like she got she had some impact on her boobs, and then it like exploded. And so that is an emergency. And you know, again, I’m not your doctor or your insurance, but like that could get covered and it may not get covered. And like when you get breast implants, you gotta know that it’s uh it can be costly for you later on down the line, whether that’s financial or your health. And again, I’m not judging at all. Like, I genuinely believe that some people can have breast implants and not have problems. But so far, I am working with someone who’s very um, very well known in the world that uh she has breast implants. She’s talked about it and she’s very ill right now. And I’m helping her navigate that because it’s important for her to feel healthy in her own body, and there are ways that you can navigate the symptoms and not remove the breast implants. And so that’s I think how some people are I know what you mean.

Sam: 19:46

I see what you mean. There’s some uh there’s cases that is so much more severe. Um, and then there’s some that like people are riding them out and and they’re not having the symptoms. And and you know, Kalani, you know Kalani, the music artist. I love that she’s making noise right now about this because she got hers taken out. And she’s out here. She’s out here telling people how sick they were making her and affecting her in all of these negative ways. So that’s an extreme case. Tammy’s was an extreme case. We have functional, um, functional oral health in the chat and amazing. So happy to hear. She said she had implants and then explanted in 2024. It was a process, even in Canada. I started your cleanses a year after X plant. That’s so awesome. We love to hear it. And so it’s like, you know, a lot of women, it is extreme. And so for all we are not judging. And no matter what, if you’re thinking about getting implants, if you already have them, or if you’ve ex-planted, no matter where you’re at on that in this in the spectrum, we’re here to inform. And that’s it. And we’re spreading the word. And you guys guess what happened from us releasing this episode with Tammy? A woman reached out to Tammy because she saw the episode. She’s starting to have a conversation with her. She has implants currently. Tammy linked her with a doctor, and the woman is about to get explanted because she saw our episode and it informed her and it led her to making that decision. And that is what she decided was best for her. And so we so celebrate that and just think it’s so awesome. And just more proof of like the power of what we’re doing by making noise, Kim, and not being censored and saying the things and getting it out there. And it’s so important. It is truly affecting lives.

Kim: 21:27

I’m I’m glad that people can get what they need from what we’re doing and be able to take it and be their own advocate and have some sovereignty over their own health. And I’m I’m really grateful for that. On a side note, I’m very disappointed in the medicine that we have currently to go to because of the fact that they should be telling people this. As a human, you should be advocating for yourself that anytime you put a foreign object into your body, that it could be rejected, no matter what that looks like. But it’s also the responsibility, honestly, I took a Hippocratic oath. And even though I don’t have a license anymore, I let all my licensing go when all I went viral. I don’t know if a lot of people know that, but I let my license go in September of 2021 because I wanted to be able to freely talk about all of this and not be under the constraints of a license. And so I feel like though that it’s my way of giving back because even though I know I followed the Hippocratic Oath to the best of my ability, if I would have known this stuff, I would have told people. And there’s so much knowledge out there. There’s so many ways for these doctors to go and educate themselves, to be able to educate their patient who maybe have a little bit of body dysmorphia and a full understanding of it. I feel like my hysterectomy led me for these thought processes as well. If I would have had more information, maybe I wouldn’t have had to change my body the way that I needed to change it. And I feel like that’s something that is honestly the doctor’s responsibility. And I and again, we’re all inundated with information all day long, but it just takes a little bit of assistance from that doctor to say, you know what, I hear you. I respect what you’re doing. I appreciate it. However, why don’t you just go and check this out? Just so that you are fully informed that your body could reject these implants. It could have mold inside of it. You may never have been exposed to parasites, but somehow randomly you have parasites because of the breast implants. And it’s encapsulated that your body then thinks is something foreign and is going to put you into a chronic illness state. But if you’re good with that, by all means. But the thing is, is you need to educate yourself as a doctor. That’s right. And then you need to be able to educate your patient. And if you aren’t doing that, then you should not be in this position in life.

Sam: 23:54

Well, what you just said requires honesty, accountability, transparency, and so the intention behind really matters. And, you know, it’s that’s why that’s why you preach day in and day out. And we’re always saying on this podcast, be your own patient advocate and have your own medical sovereignty because you need to know the questions to ask and inform yourself fully because it’s not always gonna be the doctor that tells you the truth and tells you what can happen or the risks. Yeah.

Kim: 24:27

You’re you’re in it for you, and they’re in it for themselves. Like, I think I think that was probably the biggest lesson that I’ve ever taught any of my students or taught my friends is like you get five to ten minutes with these doctors, and this sounds harsh, but they don’t care. They just they’re gonna go into the next room. And I had to do the same thing, but I actually like intentionally cared about my people when I would go into the room. But you get five to ten minutes, and then you gotta shut your brain down and go into another room, you know? And so I feel like that’s the biggest thing that I can say to anyone who is thinking about it is that do it if you want to do it, but you need to be informed. And when you start having unusual symptoms and unusual problems with your body, and you can’t get an answer, I guarantee it’s your breast implants. I guarantee that’s what your problem is. And so it’s like, okay, we’ll start removing that and start changing the way you look at life and and cleanse. Like you can do all of the things we’re talking about, except for sauna, when you have breast implants, and maybe that’s what you do from the get when you get breast implants is be proactive and immediately say, listen, if there’s mold that’s gonna develop, it’s not gonna develop in my body because I’m taking these herbs and or parasites. If if you’re out there eating sushi and you got breast implants and you got a slow leak, or your body’s rejecting them, guess what? You’re gonna catch that parasite.

Sam: 25:52

You know how you always say, like, make your body inhospitable. That’s the opposite. You literally have this hospitable place inside of your body that’s like, hey, this is a perfect place for you to grow and live. And then you’re coming into contact with them or eating them directly. And it’s like, we have to, we have to educate. We have to educate people and keep talking about it because now breast implant illness is way more like loudly talked about and widespread, especially due to social media and the internet. But I still didn’t know like any of this about the mold and the parasites, and it’s mind-blowing, and I am so honored to be helping more women, women find out and then provide solutions, you know, and we’re we’re doing that. So the last uh quick thing that I just saw was I am so touched by how fully you all show up and connected here, so powerful, really changing the world and my life.

Kim: 26:44

Oh well, I gotta give it to Tammy, man. She is an amazing person, and we really that podcast was fabulous. It was produced beautifully by you and Bish, and it really did this community such good, and it’s something that’s just not talked about, and it really needs to be, especially because women don’t, and it’s not just breast implants, it’s all implants.

Sam: 27:11

Girl, what’s gonna happen 10 years from now with all these BBLs? Yeah, what’s gonna happen? What what are we gonna see? Because people didn’t know when breast implants first popped up, and that became the new craze. And we shifted from boobs to butt a few years ago. Boobs to butt, baby. We shifted a few years ago, so not sure what’s gonna pop up with BBLs.

Kim: 27:36

Very good. It’s not just but anything is foreign, but yeah, man. Oh, yeah. I just it’s the teeth, right? And like that’s a whole nother topic. It’s a whole nother topic. The thing about it is it’s any foreign, including root canals, because it’s killed them, and that’s where mold grows. Can mold grow and not can’t when mold grows there, and also lime lives there, parasites live there. There’s cavitation when you get your wisdom teeth pulled out. And in one of the the places that I went and spoke, she talked about that, about how they’re working on the cavitations of their wisdom teeth being pulled because it’s a hollow area that your body will fill with parasites and and um mold. And so warm and wet in it, in it, yeah. And so it really is like an education of the human body, but with specific foreign implants like what we’re talking about with plastic surgery, it’s all implants. Your body looks at it like, what did you put in me? And so it’s protecting itself from that, and that’s why it puts that biofilm. And when you guys think biofilm of an implant, it is thick and tissue and blood, and it can be like this thick around inside of your breast implant and hard, like that’s why they get hardened because your biofilm is developed around it, and then it just keeps everything inside, and then a slow leak allows that stuff to kind of out, and then your body’s like, where the hell is it coming from? So it’s the same concept of you can’t always heal where you got sick, and especially if you live in mold, well, it’s living the mold is living in you from that implant.

Sam: 29:30

Women are women are walking around with mold and parasites in their titties, in their boobs, they’re walking around with mold and parasites in their boobs, kids. Yes, and in their butts. I didn’t even think about the butts until this live.

Kim: 29:51

Like, and then shins, I guess, like it’s a whole thing, right? People are getting them here and like you know, their shins, but I I mean, I guess I guess we shouldn’t be.

Sam: 30:01

What do you have my shins? Shins.

Kim: 30:03

Like you’re like, like, oh calf implants I mean, calf implants.

Sam: 30:10

You’re like if someone trying to make the shins bigger. Listen. I want I want my shins to look, I want my shins to look nicer. Like, how can you make the shins look nicer? What do you mean? Shin implants, calf implants, butt implants, biceps, peck implants for a minute.

Kim: 30:28

Oh, you know, all of that is the same type of an implant. It’s all the same.

Sam: 30:34

So I want to pivot a little bit to because here we are talking about you know, plastic surgery or like um beauty enhancers, things like that, right? I got sick once from Botox, and there’s something called Botox flu. And ladies, please hear me. Because I’m not someone who goes and gets overly Botox or anything like that. You know, it’s been very few and far between for me when I have gotten it. But if you have any symptoms at all, um, sore throat, rundownness, feeling fatigued, like feeling like your immune system is worn down, please reschedule your Botox appointment. Do not go get it that day. The toxin will enter your system, and your body that’s already immune compromised cannot accept it well, and you can get the Botox flu. And literally, it just develops into like fever and bodies, body sweats, and chills, and body aches and um all the things. And botulism and a sore throat and a sore throat. Oh, so there’s a work poison.

Kim: 31:39

There’s a war. If you want to get straight organic GMO, non-GMO botulism, go break a can, go, go dent a can and then pull it out. That’s why you’re not allowed to ever have dented cans. Did you know that?

Sam: 31:55

Eat food from dented cans?

Kim: 31:56

Never, it’s because it creates botulism, and the botulism will take you out. We’re injecting that in our heads.

Sam: 32:04

You know, it’s a neurotoxin.

Kim: 32:08

Yeah, that they found at the beginning of this that our brains it didn’t go through the GABA, so it didn’t go through the blood-brain barrier and that it stopped, but that’s just not what’s come out now. Even the person who made Botox has come out and said she’ll never do it because it actually has shown that it’s made it through to your brain. You have botulism in your brain and just low amounts because they’re just giving it to you in a microdose.

Sam: 32:31

Listen, my skin girl, the reason she said she’ll never like get fillers is because a woman that she knows out in Calabasas, you know, she went to get a facelift. And when they cut her face open to do the facelift, the build up of the Botox residue and the fillers was so much that it’s like people don’t realize like it doesn’t fully dissolve and go and leave your system and all that, like it builds up. Like a buildup of any sort, how can I be healthy?

Kim: 33:11

I guess I guess because we’ve never really been taught how to take care of our bodies in the way that we should, is this is still skin and tissue and muscle, and you’re injecting it and it’s just gonna immediately go into your body. This isn’t anything different. In fact, when you get some of these things that we’re doing, where microneedling and morphe sate, vivaci, and anything that causes micro traumas to the face, it will trigger a virus. So when I do all of these things to my body, I actually take an antiviral and a binder because my body has active Epstein Bar virus, and you’re just asking for that to get alerted because your body’s like, oh, I no longer can take care of this energy in organ. I now have to pivot over to here. So now I’m leaving this one to the wayside. Hopefully it doesn’t react. But when you do botch, when you do Botox, it’s poison.

Sam: 34:02

You’re just again, no, it’s a nerve, it’s not it’s not judgment, it’s but it is a neurotoxin. And I’ll tell you what, this is so funny. Ever since I started using RogersHood products, so for two years, I think it’s trained my body to kind of be in a constant state of detox. So detox, getting out the toxins, right? Like the opposite of like putting them in. It’s constantly getting rid of them, right? Last time I even tried to get a little bit of Botox, my face did like my body didn’t even accept it. It was like, it didn’t even work. I still had all the wrinkles and stuff, and I’m like, did I what? And I’m like, oh, I’m constantly detoxing. Well, it’s a toxin. So of course my body’s pushing it out. And I think my body honestly built up uh antibodies to it and resistance to it, and it’s like, hey, this doesn’t really like work much for us anymore. And I’m like, whoa, that’s crazy. So wanted to touch on that for a second because it’s a huge thing, the fillers and the Botox. And again, no judgment, but just to be as informed as possible whenever you’re making any kind of decision on putting anything into your body, like Kim said, foreign into your body, because you always are running a risk of how your body’s gonna receive that or reject it, and you could experience severe symptoms or you could experience some really harmful effects from it. So we just want to talk about it and let you guys know. Hi, from Sydney, Australia. Love that you’re in here. We have people from all over the world, love it.

Kim: 35:29

Your body absorbs everything, everything, and um, you know, there are so many more natural ways of doing things nowadays than ever before. I mean, even the salmon sperm facials, I got one.

Sam: 35:50

I’m sorry, this this this topic’s really funny for us, you guys. Like, listen, like I’ll just tell her in a quick quick story. When when I first went to um a skin girl and she was like, hey, I have this new treatment. It’s salmon DNA, and it it’s gonna like plump and hydrate, and like, you know, it’s gonna be really rejuvenating for your skin and all that. I’m like, this sounds amazing! I’m like, how funny though that it’s derived from salmon. Ha ha ha. Kim is the skin queen and the anti-salmon woman. So I’m not gonna. No, no, worn queen. Yeah, the worm queen. So I’m like, I’m a whole day. Yeah, and I’m all thinking I found something new that Kim maybe doesn’t know about yet. Like, yeah, right. And so, like, when it comes to skin, like she knows it all. So I’m like, okay, I can’t wait to tell her. And so we meet up in Denver, we’re traveling for the podcast, and I’m like, Kim, look at my skin. I got this thing, it’s salmon DNA. And she’s like, Oh yeah, that’s salmon sperm. And I was like, I was like, no, it’s not. Like, my girl would have said that if it was. This is it has to be different. She’s like, it’s definitely salmon sperm. I’m like, what? And then I was like, hold on. So I had to look it up. Sure enough, there’s no there, they derived the DNA from the salmon sperm. Okay. So I’m like, okay, but I decided in that moment, I’m I’m cool with that. It’s okay. I don’t care if it came from the, you know, it’s whatever bot, what it’s fat, it’s it’s DNA, it’s sperm. It’s okay. It really works. It really does.

Kim: 37:15

Oh my gosh. So when I was leaving Seattle, my my gal Alyssa at Penelope and Mildred, which I can’t tag them, and we’re gonna show a bunch of their stuff, which I’m excited about. But anyway, if you’re in Seattle, you should go to Penelope, which is in the Fairmont, or Mildred, that’s where Alyssa is. She’s the best, man. She’s so the girl I saw here where I moved, she goes, I’ve never seen such amazing skin. And I’m like, Well, thanks, man. I I really work hard on it. If I’m an obsess over anything, it’s definitely gotta be my my skin.

Sam: 37:50

And you’ve always had great skin, no matter what you tell me, even in divorce moments living in that chair chronically ill, you made sure your skin routine was on point. You care about your skin.

Kim: 37:59

I would be in the hospital getting a surgery, and I would tell I would have my bag of my facial stuff and a washcloth, because I don’t use any other washcloths than mine, and then a bottle of water. And I I would say, Jeremy, when I wake up, you better wash my face for me. If I can’t move my hands or do it, you better wash my face because it’s the most important. But I got one, they let me pick anything I wanted as like a thank you and a goodbye at a little party. And so it was really fun. It was just her and MJ, the the receptionist, and she was like, Angela, the owner said, You can pick anything you want. And I picked the salmon sperm. And I’m like, All right, I’ll do it.

Sam: 38:40

I think it’s so ironic that it’s salmon, you know what I mean? Like out of every animal I could have possibly been from, like it’s just so funny.

Kim: 38:49

Yeah, I’m allergic to salmon. I got a salmon sperm facial. My niece’s last name is salmon. Like, I make fun of salmon, like it’s you know, 22.

Sam: 39:00

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So funny. Man, well, speaking of skin and all of the skincare things that you do and that you’ve even like put me onto. I’m so grateful. I love B Lage products and I still use them, and they’re working so well for my skin, and my skin accepts them so well. And they’re heavy metal free. And um, it’s a brand that can put me onto. And I’ve been using that for my skincare and absolutely love it. Also, I noticed when my skin really took a turn for the better. Like I’ve, you know, I’ve had like acne and breakout and hormonal things and even like food things for years, and um could possibly be due to something that soon I’ll find out and share with you guys if I have it or not, if I have SIBO or not. We’ll see. I’ll keep you posted. But um, when I did PRX, which is a skin treatment, once I did that, that it really changed um everything for my skin from there on. And now I I do them every now and then for maintenance, and it really Made all the difference. So those are a couple of things that I absolutely love to do for my skin. Also, Loombox is every morning, non-negotiable for me. Like every single morning, I love it. And when I can get it more throughout the day, I do it as well. Um, the Lima laser, love that um for building collagen and helping with fine lines and wrinkles naturally without the toxins, without the what do you call it from the can, without the botulism. The bopulism. Yeah, because I mean it’s it’s botulism. Yeah, so those are a few of my favorites. So we are gonna be releasing in February a special skin field trip episode that you’re gonna get to see a lot of behind the scenes of what Kim does to her skin. And I know you guys are always commenting on her skin and asking because she does have absolutely beautiful skin. And you’re always noticing, you’re always commenting. So she decided to give you guys an insider look behind the curtain at some of what she does. We can’t wait for you to see that field trip. But if you want to talk on anything that you really love, Kim, or that you use currently, I know you maybe recently switched to something new. So if you want to talk about that.

Kim: 41:04

Well, I not just switched to it, but Lux Beauty, I don’t know if you’ve heard of them. They’re a non-toxic, uh, I guess they did a collab with Erwan and Christina Aguilera um with them, and they’re a non-toxic, and I’m gonna try them. They’re in my mailbox, and we’re doing a giveaway in February with them.

Sam: 41:25

Yeah, and the date spot and Lux Beauty and RogersHood. It’s gonna be a really awesome Valentine’s game today. So stay tuned.

Kim: 41:32

You heard it here first. And then um, I also found a company called Skin Functional, and they’re a mushroom base. They use a snow mushroom and it makes them really soft. And right now I’m still staying with Belagique, which is a French, because the French have higher beauty standards of what they can put in their products, and it I just strictly stay away from titanium dioxide, which is a heavy metal, and it’s in a lot of skincare products to weight them down, and so I don’t do well with that. Um, I used to use elastin and it had massive amounts, and I would have these little red pockets, and it was on the titanium dioxide. Anyway, so I’ve been using skin functional, the snow uh mushroom-based, non-toxic. Uh, I started using their hydration juice, which is hyaluronic acid and a peptide, which has been puffing up the collagen. Like I don’t have hardly any fine lines.

Sam: 42:31

And it’s do you see it? Yeah, and is this the snow? You said snow, a snow mushroom. Snow mushroom. So it grows in the snow. Is that what that means?

Kim: 42:41

I didn’t research which mushroom it was.

Sam: 42:43

Sure, sure.

Kim: 42:44

I just know it was this, it’s called a snow mushroom. I’m gonna look at it.

Sam: 42:47

Well, your skin looks absolutely great right now. So I think it’s a combination of that salmon sperm and the snow mushroom. You guys, Kim Rogers, if you don’t know, is a bougie AF, but she’s definitely bougie AF about her skincare. Okay. This is what it’s so pretty. This is what it looks like. Oh my gosh. Okay, so maybe that because it looks like snow.

Kim: 43:10

Yeah, well, and it grows in snow. Look. Oh, or that’s just the snowy mushroom. No, this is it. It looks like snow. It’s beautiful, it’s so pretty, and it’s soft, and it is plumping, and it’s natural, and like world of mushrooms. It should be, it should honestly be the the the the the world of health care or the world of skincare, you know, because it’s got a lot of benefits. It’s not the first time that I’ve heard about the snow mushroom. I think I don’t know, there’s a couple companies that I’ve used in the past, but not like this. I mean, I noticed an instant difference with it.

Sam: 43:46

And you said that you’re really using their um moisturizer because it’s really dry where you’re living now, right?

Kim: 43:52

Yeah, the the I’m using the skin barrier to the layers, so I do the hydration and then I do their next layer, and then I do the normal, my normal B Lijique. I have an anti-red because I had rosacea, and so my skin is red, and then I have this little red spot, and so it helps just kind of calm it down. But I’ve always like, even when I was in my poorest world, which I don’t know if a lot of people know. If Jeremy and I were on governmental benefits when we started RogersHood, we were really poor. I would always have good skincare.

Sam: 44:25

Yeah, I get it. That was budgeted, you know, that was your non-negotiable. Well, you budgeted that you’re like skincare and then groceries and then we’ll drink the toner, I guess. Like that is so funny. Oh my god, I love it. Okay, so speaking of, I’m literally about to put lip gloss on right now, right? And I was like, oh my gosh, this one can put me on too. And this is me.

Kim: 44:57

She is all over right now. I’m so proud of her. We’ve been uh friends for about four years. When I first went viral, her and I started chatting because she, you know, she’s the the non-toxic. And so she started formulas around, you know, around that time frame. And she’s just blown up. She has mascara. I use her um eyeshadow, but specifically her lip gloss because you’re eating it.

Sam: 45:23

Exactly. And that has been, trust me, I have thought of that now for like the past like year. Every time I’m like, wait, when it starts to disappear throughout the day, what do you think? Where do you think it’s going? You’re literally eating it. So these I love, Kim put me onto them, but I love them because they are they come in all these different pretty shades, but they’re glittery. So you get like a shimmer, like not glitter, it’s more like shimmery. You get like a shine, and I love that. Um, there’s another one you put me on to recently that has stem cells in it.

Kim: 45:52

Monica. A monica, Monica. I don’t know the last name of it, but it has stem cells. I love it. Love it. It has stem cells.

Sam: 46:00

Beautiful pigments, and it feels so good on the lips. Like that’s really important. You guys, Kim and I, and we will be sharing it with you at some point. But Kim and I, we got hair tests done, and we got um, I got labs done, I got a gut test done, and a lot of chemicals came back in my body, showing up in my organs, and then even in my hair follicle. And a lot of them was derived from like cosmetics and beauty, and uh even from clothes and from clothes. Yeah, oh my gosh, I have not done a Sheen haul in a long time. Okay, it’s probably been a year. Like, no, no way. Fast fashion is over. Over.

Kim: 46:41

You work this is the other one. Sorry, this is the other one. Monica, I don’t know how to pronounce her last name. Mm-hmm. Okay, and it’s it’s from France because again, their standards are the highest for skincare. Yeah, they do not put heavy metals and all the extra toxins. You can read their ingredients, you’re not like, what’s this? You can literally see it, and you’re eating the lip gloss, right? You’re absorbing whatever you’re putting on your face, and that’s kind of what’s so great about the snow mushroom. You’re actually getting more benefits than it just your skin. You’re like biohapstagging.

Sam: 47:21

Yeah, yeah, exactly. That’s so smart. Like, actually, exactly. So, like, I’ve been using this oxygen foundation for years. My skin girl put me onto it, and it’s it puts oxygen into your skin, it’s non-toxic, and it actually heals your skin while you’re wearing it. So, like a way to be able to wear foundation while it’s healing, that’s been my foundation for a long time. And so, yeah, you’re you’re it’s multi-purpose. So, why not be healing and supporting and nourishing while you’re like wearing the makeup instead of poisoning and and adding toxins to the mix, like you know, the one thing can be holistic.

Kim: 47:57

It’s holistic skincare. That’s that’s the word, it’s the whole body, and this this boosts your immune system.

Sam: 48:03

So it goes in and actually helps move positive toward your immune holistic, holistic uh makeup, skincare, beauty. The one thing I’m still on the hunt for. So if anybody has any recommendations, is uh yeah, uh natural hair dye that can give me the same neon colors I love. So last thing, Kim always says moderation. This is the last.

Kim: 48:28

Dr. Jess, Dr. Jess and uh and Lelena, they both have um things on their pages that are helpful for it. So good enough. Yeah, they’ve got different companies that they use that are non-toxic hair dyes. I don’t know if they have your colors, but I do know that they have the non-toxic hair dyes. Sure.

Sam: 48:50

Okay. I mean, it is worth looking into it. And these days I can’t imagine, like, you know, everything else has come so far. Oh, speaking of, let’s talk about Cieta real quick. It’s just like a sidebar, but I did see something. Once Pepsi bought them out, we all have been saying we gotta watch them close and we gotta watch the ingredients list, right? Yes. Well, someone uh made a video comparing the ingredients list of Cieta almond flour tortillas at Costco and the ones at like Sprouts and Whole Foods. And the ones at Costco have a whole lot more ingredients and gums and things that the other ones don’t. So just a heads up to everyone. We had a feeling it would be coming, the ingredients would be changing because Pepsi now owns them. So just a heads up, yeah.

Kim: 49:35

You know, it really hits me near and dear to my heart because that’s why I had to start my own business. Because I never want anyone to have any control over what we use and how we do it. Yeah. And no matter what that looks like, on the back end of things, it is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my whole life was run a business and specifically run a manufacturing business. Just we just run this business as RogersHood, but we also run RogersHood Manufacturing because I will not ever, and we’re all dedicated to this. You’re you’re on my team, Erica, Jeremy, Jack, Vegas, everyone that’s on this team. We are so dedicated to never allowing anyone to get a hold of our products and change our formula and change the way we do things. It’s so important to keep that consistency, and it’s so disappointing when you think that you can eat something clean, and then all of a sudden, and I’m not saying that there’s a sellout, but unfortunately, it is really hard to run a business. So I can imagine where they were like, we’re gonna sell it, but like at the same time, it you know, your community, you broke trust with your community, and that’s everything. Community to me is everything.

Sam: 50:56

Yeah, we thought maybe there would be a chance because the reason they bought them is because I mean, obviously, there’s like such a need for this, and people love the cleaner options, and so we’re like, they’d be smart to like not change things and keep it going, you know. Like, I mean, but that you know, absolutely and wanting to get bigger and more and mass-produced and all that, like you’re gonna get cheaper products or cheaper ingredients.

Kim: 51:22

It’s crazy, Sam. It’s crazy to me. It really isn’t that much more. I mean, I I know because I’m in this back end of this world, it’s not that much more. It’s really about you standing firm with like, I’m gonna absorb that cost. There’s costs that we absorb. We we could make way more, but like, why? What’s the purpose of it at the end of the day?

Sam: 51:46

And your integrity, though, is more important.

Kim: 51:49

Yeah, and once you sell your company off like that, that you just you just gotta know. Like, we know as consumers, we gotta look now. Every single time you buy it, you gotta go, oh, that changed. Oh, okay. But that’s also being your own advocate, and that’s what we’re teaching everyone that is is listens to us is that you have to look it up, you have to see that when they distributed in bulk to Costco, specifically, right? Specifically, they made that product just for Costco. So it’s like if you can’t keep the consistency because you go in bulk, you know, and and and that really is a thing too when we get behind. Well, it’s because we’re making it ourselves and not in this large bulk scenario. And when you’re making a large bulk, you have to add in synthetics in order for you to make that bulk because there isn’t enough way to stretch natural, the same way as you can stretch synthetic, and that’s what got us into the big P world, right? The big pharma world that we’re in. They had to find a way to mass produce everything in order for us to be able to have some of it. And so that’s kind of where you get into this vicious cycle.

Sam: 53:01

Sharker. Yeah, sure. And hey, the integrity of Rogers had products, like you guys, when we say handmade, even the machines they use, there are hands operating them. I’m telling you, we have been deep in, I have I have been deep in the heart of the production center, and I see how it all goes down and how every product works out, and it is all hand done by hand by humans. It’s incredible to watch and see, and even like the whole process, you guys, like making like how long each single tincture is soaked, like each herb is soaked in a jar to make an extraction, this tincture, and like the teas are made in brewed, and like just the way everything is done is with such care and it takes time too. It’s wild that they have to plan ahead like that. So, Rogers and products. If you want the kit that supports hair, skin, and nails, and Kim will share a little bit more about why and what the ingredients are. But listen, the support kit is where it’s at. It is full of herbs and functional mushrooms that support healthy hair, skin, and nails. So, Kim, quickly before we hop off, please tell everybody what are the ingredients and herbs that you specifically chose to go into the support kit that helps support healthy, natural, holistic beauty.

Kim: 54:20

The main uh tincture that I created because of mold was it’s called Recover, and it’s got pumpkin seed, milk thistle, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms, and they help with your hair, skin, and nails. When I went through my mold poisoning in 2022, I lost half of my hair and my eyelashes and my eyebrows. I remember back in the day when I was doing videos, someone said, Why do you wear your eyebrows like that? And I’m like, listen, I’m lucky I still have eyebrows. I lost my eyelashes. So I was I was just lucky that I had gotten the back what I’ve gotten back because those things don’t always grow back. And so I wanted to give my body as much nourishment to be able to push out my hair and my nails and my skin. And my nails are always really long. I always have to cut them, and I take recover every day. And it’s just the idea that pumpkin seeds are antiparasitic. So you’re getting that layer of antiparasitics, you’re supporting your liver, which is where the functionality of your skin and your hairs and your nails come from. And then you are getting shiitake, which is helping break down metals in your body that can cause you to have breakouts and then clog up your liver. And then oysters just help strengthen oyster mushrooms. And so it’s called Recover, R-E-C-O-V-E-R. It’s in our support kit. And when you take it with Immune, it helps break down the mucus. And then sustain is our other tincture. And you guys all know I love me. It’s Sustain. I take it every day, and that just helps with digestion because your gut really does dictate what’s going on in your skin. There’s a little antiparasitic in there, and then oosnia helps kind of push all of the fungus in candida. Candida is a real, real problem when you have skin problems. I mean, in all honesty, it and I’m on a candida cleanse, I had to pause it because of what was going on with our move and my mom. And so I noticed that while I was on that cleanse, I was breaking out and I did a video about that. And it’s because Candida really does harbor a lot. It’s like a glue. It’s gluing all of the ecosystems inside of your body. So those are ways of breaking all of it down.

Sam: 56:38

Wow. And the way that they all work together. I mean, I know you always say it’s like a symphony of herbs, but the way they work together is so fascinating to me and awesome how much how supportive all of those are that you just named. I mean, no re no wonder you called it the support kit. Like it’s very supportive in all ways, shapes, and forms. But because February is what’s eating you’s health and beauty month, we are definitely going to be pushing the support kit and just sharing more about it with you guys because it is somewhere that you can use herbal supplements, supports, and tinctures for beauty, not naturally and holistically. Like my partner says, in the wise words of Bishop, beauty is an inside job. And what we can do every single day, making those better choices to not put foreign invader or foreign substances that our body could reject or have a negative outcome or response to, just informing ourselves of all of that and making better choices, making the best choices that we can is really, really vital to our health. So we love you guys so much. Thank you for joining us.
