George Demourtzidis joins me from the Gold Coast to talk about the unexpected bridge between health and Orthodox faith, starting with the practical stuff we all feel daily: energy, clarity, hormones, and the basics of what we put into our bodies.George shares how he works in land development and why he chose to build a health supplement brand around shilajit, a mineral-rich mountain resin often called nature’s multivitamin. We get into why sourcing matters, how fake products flood the market, and why third-party testing is non-negotiable if you care about real results. From there we zoom out into a bigger idea for men’s health and mindset: your inputs are not neutral. Water quality, processed food, music, and media all train your attention and, over time, your appetites.Then we go deep into Orthodox Christianity: the Eucharist as the real Body and Blood of Christ, the countercultural reality of being told “not yet” at the chalice, and why confession, fasting, and repentance are part of a serious way of life rather than a quick spiritual shortcut. George opens up about drifting into a hedonistic lifestyle, hitting a low point at 32, and the verse that turned him back: Matthew 6:33. He also shares a powerful Pentecost experience that brought a kind of peace and joy he can only describe as grace.If you care about clean living, spiritual discipline, and becoming whole, this conversation will challenge and steady you.
