Ben Fuchs talked about natural health remedies and the vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need to maintain good health. 80 million Americans suffer from hypertension, he noted, and proposed that much of this problem has to do with gut health and a vitamin B1 deficiency. Digestive health, in fact, is the key to treating a large number of ailments, Fuchs went on, saying "The belly doesn't lie." Leaky gut, diverticulitis, and even cancer can result from neglecting this central system of the body.

Fuchs offered several other tips for maintaining good health. Although we are often warned about the dangers of cholesterol, for example, he said that it's actually vital to proper brain health. Being careful about sugar intake can help with high cholesterol, however, he explained.

Although some foods, like fruit seeds, contain small amounts of toxins, Fuchs argued that they also contain medicinal substances that are actually beneficial. Almonds contain laetrile, which Fuchs claimed was an anti-cancer agent despite being a toxin. "It's kind of like using chemotherapy, except it's a natural form of chemotherapy," he asserted.
