Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs

Hi, my name is Eduardo Flores better known as Eddie. Born in Fontana CA. And raise in Ontario/Chino CA.. Being raised basically in the dairy’s and working with cows I was able to raise a lot of my own different types of animals along with grow different types of crops. I’ve also been a cultivator in the cannabis industry for 18+ years (prop 215) which got me the nickname (Dairyboy) and my brand (Legendairyharvest).
I now own a house in Lake Elsinore for the past 7 or so years where I spend my days with my beautiful 8 year old daughter (Mila) that I have 50/50 joint custody of, and the rest of the time do what I can to keep up so I give my daughter all the time in these younger years. With the passion for plants, animals, and newly found Health, my daughter and I now have chickens again and are excited to embark on this new journey with (TheGardensOfHope) with Love for humanity and the health of us all we want to not only enlighten ourselves but also those around us. Blessings, Love, Peace, and Light!

Built to Last

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs

05/11/25 • 29 min

What if everything you thought you knew about fitness was missing the most crucial element? Despite billions spent on gym memberships, supplements, and equipment, global health continues to decline. The answer may lie not in what we do, but in who we do it with.
In this enlightening conversation, David Amerland—chemical engineer, martial artist with 47 years of experience, and author of "Built to Last: The Ultimate Guide to Sustainable Fitness and Longevity"—challenges conventional fitness wisdom. Drawing from science and personal experience, he reveals why social connection might be the missing ingredient in your health journey.
Amerland explores the fascinating paradox of blue zones—regions where people live extraordinarily long, healthy lives despite lacking fancy gyms or expensive health products. These communities share two powerful commonalities: strong social bonds and consistent movement integrated naturally into daily life. By contrast, westernized approaches often treat fitness as an uncomfortable add-on to already stressful lives, explaining why 85% of January gym-goers quit by May.
The conversation delves into the neuroscience of motivation, exploring how our brains calculate effort versus reward and why emotional connection to our health goals fundamentally changes this equation. Amerland offers a refreshingly practical framework: make fitness personal (meaningful to you), possible (easy to implement), and persistent (something you can do daily).
Whether you're just beginning your health journey or looking to maintain vitality as you age, this episode provides actionable insights for creating sustainable fitness practices that evolve with you. Discover why one-minute workouts might be more effective than hour-long gym sessions, and how understanding your unique needs creates lasting change where cookie-cutter programs fail.

🔒 When Healing Efforts Backfire: The Delicate Balance of Cancer Treatment

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs

04/23/25 • 15 min

Subscriber-only episode

A health crisis unfolds as my scheduled port placement surgery gets abruptly cancelled. After weeks of waiting for insurance approval and preparing for chemotherapy treatment for my squamous cell carcinoma, I found myself on the operating table, IV inserted and ready to go, when blood tests revealed an elevated white blood cell count. The medical team immediately halted the procedure due to infection concerns.
My journey takes an unexpected turn as I confront the reality that my own healing attempts may have contributed to this setback. In trying to be proactive, I inadvertently aggravated the tumor, causing it to breach and weep. This experience highlights the delicate balance of the healing process and the limitations of our understanding of complex bodily systems. As I note during this vulnerable moment: "Sometimes you set something in motion that's hard to undo. These reactions and these systems are very delicate and we don't understand them nearly as much as we think we do."
Despite this disappointment, I remain steadfast in my approach, continuing with oxygenation therapy, physical exercise (what I call "sand therapy"), and infrared sauna sessions. The challenges are mounting as the tumor increasingly affects my ability to speak and function normally, creating a sense of urgency in my treatment journey. Through it all, I emphasize the vital importance of community support in healing and express profound gratitude for those standing with me. This episode serves as both a personal update and a meditation on faith, perseverance, and the humility required when facing health challenges that defy simple solutions. Will you join me on this journey of discovery and healing?

🔒 When Truth Becomes Your Medicine: Lessons From My Cancer Fight

Healthy Living by Willow Creek Springs

04/21/25 • 16 min

Subscriber-only episode

What happens when conventional medicine's answers feel inadequate? In this deeply personal episode, I peel back the layers of my ongoing cancer battle to reveal the unconventional approaches giving me hope.
My journey has taught me that fear and ignorance often cloud our understanding of health, especially when facing life-threatening conditions. That's why I've sought wisdom beyond traditional medical settings, building a diverse team of experts ranging from physicians to fellow cancer patients. Through this collaborative approach, I've discovered powerful insights about oxygen therapy, exercise, and how tumors respond to their environment.
The episode details a recent setback when I attempted to treat my tumor with hydrogen peroxide, causing increased swelling and pain. This mistake led me to deeper research into chlorine dioxide therapy and the science behind oxygen's role in fighting cancer. Dr. Amil's remarkable experiment combining chlorine dioxide with oxygen-supplemented exercise showed dramatic improvements in just two weeks – a finding that has renewed my commitment to increasing physical activity despite my weakened state.
Perhaps most valuable has been my experience in Dr. Hoffman's cancer support group, where doctors battling their own cancers speak as equals with patients. This human-to-human exchange, free from the hierarchical dynamics of typical medical encounters, has provided insights unavailable in any textbook. As one participant noted: "When you start hearing doctors speak as humans, not gods, it's a whole different experience."
Whether you're facing cancer or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a window into the power of critical thinking, community healing, and finding your own path when the standard roadmap fails. Subscribe to join this journey and discover how sharing our stories might just save lives.
