About This Episode

Natural immune shots, turmeric, garlic, cholesterol and arthritis — why did nobody tell us this at 25?

Paddy went from a 20 something in construction who thought he just had a “bad back” to barely bending down to put on his socks then built Pat’s Powerful Bottle out of desperation.

If you are living with inflammation, fatigue, or the mindset of “I’ll sort my health later,” this episode is for you.

 

What We Really Get Into

  • How turmeric, ginger, garlic and other “war-time” foods can support immune health and lower inflammation when used consistently
  • Why most people never learn how the liver, cholesterol, and plaque actually work — and what simple food choices can do over time
  • Paddy’s experience with ankylosing spondylitis, chronic pain, physio visits on lunch breaks, and the moment he realised diet was making things worse
  • Building a small health-drink business from his kitchen while dealing with financial pressure and strict regulations
  • Real-world feedback across arthritis, psoriasis, asthma, blood pressure, and type-2 diabetes — and the limits of what can be claimed publicly
  • The reality of being always available to customers while trying to grow without losing the personal connection

 

Who This Is For

  • People dealing with chronic inflammation, pain, arthritis, autoimmune, or unclear symptoms
  • Those in their 20s–40s starting to feel the impact of long-term diet and lifestyle habits
  • Anyone interested in grassroots health approaches and building something from personal experience

 

Why This Conversation Might Help

Rather than focusing on quick fixes, this episode breaks down what was actually changed over time.

Paddy and Ryan walk through the role of food, consistency, and mindset, alongside the challenges that still remain. It offers a practical way to think about health that can be applied gradually.
