Welcome and Anthony William's Case for Celery Juice
Anthony William opens by calling celery juice herbal medicine, and Jay Shetty introduces him as the originator of the celery juice movement and author of a new book. William says he wants to reach people stuck in chronic illness and describes celery juice as a tool that plugs into any diet.
- •Celery juice is described as an extracted herbal tonic that science hasn't yet studied
- •Jay introduces Anthony as originator of the celery juice movement and four-time bestselling author
- •William says people stuck in chronic illness are his focus
- •He says celery juice can be plugged into keto, paleo, vegan or plant-based diets
- •He claims hundreds of millions are drinking it
Hearing the Voice: Anthony's Childhood and the First Celery Juice
Jay takes Anthony back to age four, when he says he diagnosed his grandmother's lung cancer. William describes the voice he calls Spirit, the 1975 celery juice recommendation for a relative's back problem, and how seeing results led him to trust it.
- •At age four he says he heard a voice that diagnosed his grandmother's lung cancer
- •He cites the Epstein-Barr and Hashimoto's link as information he brought out early
- •In 1975 the voice said "celery juice" for a relative's inflammatory back problem, made with a blender and cheesecloth
- •He says trust came from seeing it work, even at age 13 in a grocery store
- •He says thousands of doctors have his books in their offices
Why Celery Is an Herb, and Why Leave the Fiber Out
Jay asks how William discovered celery juice's power among so many vegetables. William argues celery is an herb rather than a vegetable and compares extraction to chamomile tea, defending juicing without pulp against dietitians' objections.
- •William says celery is an herb, and herbal medicine is powerful
- •The chamomile teabag analogy: you don't eat the bag to get the medicine
- •He says dietitians and nutritionists are confused by his advice to remove pulp and fiber
- •He says science hasn't looked into what is in celery
Conditions Helped and the Critique of Science and Research
William lists conditions he says celery juice helps, from autoimmune disease to chronic fatigue. He argues the movement grew because people healed rather than from marketing money, and criticizes science and research for failing chronic illness sufferers. Jay agrees that research measures what has already happened.
- •Conditions named include autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, Lyme, MS, Hashimoto's, lupus, eczema, psoriasis and SIBO
- •He says celery juice gains traction because people heal, unlike trends driven by money
- •He says over 250 million Americans have a symptom that won't go away
- •He says science and research dropped the ball on chronic illness
- •Jay says research measures what has already happened and takes time
Pushback, Industry Threat and Transformation Stories
After Jay is surprised by the hate celery juice gets, William suggests it threatens many industries. Jay asks for transformation stories, and William describes people with debilitating eczema, psoriasis, chronic fatigue, MS and Lyme, and says the movement became a tidal wave only last year.
- •William says the movement threatens many industries and farms are scrambling to grow celery
- •He describes people with cracking, bleeding skin who he says cleared eczema
- •He mentions chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, MS and Lyme cases improving
- •He says the movement was a quiet storm before the 2015 books
- •Jay says people need a process to make a trend stick
How to Drink It: 16 Ounces, Fresh, and the HPP Warning
Prompted by Jay asking about the process in the book, William gives practical instructions. Drink 16 ounces by itself and juiced fresh, avoid high pressure pasteurized bottles, and know it can be refrigerated for hours or a day.
- •16 ounces juiced fresh, by itself, to start
- •He advises against HPP (high pressure pasteurization) bottled celery juice, saying it loses potency
- •Juice at home or at a juice bar that makes it in front of you
- •It can be kept in the fridge hours or a day, but ideally is drunk right away
- •He says it is fine during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Sodium Cluster Salts and the Pathogen Theory of Illness
William explains what he says is in celery juice: sodium cluster salts, an undiscovered sodium subgroup that is antiviral. He argues chronic illness is caused by pathogens like Epstein-Barr rather than the body attacking itself, and that celery juice kills them and cleans the liver.
- •He claims sodium cluster salts are undiscovered by research and are antiviral
- •He says Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, fibro and chronic fatigue are caused by bugs, not the body attacking itself
- •He names Epstein-Barr, simplex viruses, HHV-6, shingles viruses and bacteria
- •He says celery juice kills pathogens and clears them from the liver, reducing inflammation
Electrolytes, the Liver, and Addiction
Jay asks how celery juice could help with addiction. William says it restores the liver's glycogen storage and balances blood sugar, and supplies a complete electrolyte that revives neurons, clearing brain fog and strengthening self-control.
- •He says a healing liver stores more glucose and glycogen, stabilizing blood sugar
- •He says unstable blood sugar makes people prone to addiction
- •He describes celery juice as a complete electrolyte that reaches the brain and neurons
- •He says it clears brain fog and helps people take control of their lives
- •He says it is not a fix-all and works alongside other good things
Foods to Remove: Eggs and Gluten
Jay asks which habits undermine celery juice. William says chicken eggs must come out of the diet because they feed pathogens, and says gluten too feeds pathogens rather than being inherently inflammatory. Jay says he hasn't eaten eggs in 16 years but hadn't heard this reasoning.
- •William says chicken eggs must come out for everyone regardless of diet philosophy
- •His claim is that eggs feed viruses and bacteria, working against celery juice
- •He says gluten is inflammatory because it feeds pathogens
- •He says this explains why some people react to gluten at 16 to 25 while others never do
Timing, Empty Stomach, Dos and Don'ts, and the Book
William explains celery juice should be taken on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning, with 20 to 30 minutes before eating and nothing added. He says some people with chronic illness drink it twice a day, describes what the book covers, and gives cucumber juice as a short-term backup.
- •16 ounces on an empty stomach, morning is best
- •Wait 20 to 30 minutes before breakfast and avoid coffee
- •Don't add apple cider vinegar, lemon or collagen powder
- •Chronic illness sufferers may do 32 ounces split across the day
- •The book covers almost 200 symptoms and conditions and a chapter on alternatives
- •Cucumber juice is only a temporary backup and does not do what celery juice does
Stress, Anxiety, Depression and Heavy Metals
Jay asks what celery juice does for stress, anxiety and depression. William says it stabilizes the adrenals and, through electrolytes, helps loosen heavy metals in the brain. He speaks about the suffering of people with crippling anxiety, and says even partial relief is life-changing.
- •William calls celery juice the ultimate adrenal stabilizer
- •He says metals like mercury and aluminum accumulate in the brain and can trigger anxiety and depression
- •He says celery juice loosens metals and stops them oxidizing
- •Jay notes it addresses both mental and physical health
- •William says he fights for chronically ill people who go unheard
Celebrities, Organic Growth and Jay's Encouragement to Read the Book
Jay asks about the celebrities who have embraced celery juice. William says none were paid, and that those he knows care about people who are suffering. Jay then urges listeners to read the book so they build a lasting habit rather than a one-week fad.
- •William says no celebrity was paid to promote celery juice
- •He names James Van Der Beek, Jenna Dewan, Sylvester Stallone and Pharrell as people he knows who care
- •Jay says the book helps turn a one-week test into a sustainable habit
- •Jay says deep conviction about the reasons makes habits last
Final Five: Metabolism Myth, Habits, Groceries and Herbs
In the rapid-fire segment, William calls slow metabolism the biggest health myth and blames weight gain on a sluggish liver. He picks the heavy metal detox smoothie as a 30-day habit, and names grocery staples and favorite herbs.
- •He says metabolism is not why people gain weight; he blames stagnant, toxic livers
- •His 30-day habit besides celery juice is the heavy metal detox smoothie with cilantro and spirulina
- •Grocery picks include celery, wild blueberries, apples, papaya and mache
- •Favorite herbs are lemon balm, nettle leaf and turmeric, with licorice root as another
Listening to Your Body and Closing Reflections
The final question asks how to listen to the body better. William says the body never attacks or fails you and loves you unconditionally, and Jay says negative body language programs inaction. They close with where to find Anthony, and Jay shares his own experience of neglecting his body.
- •William says getting sick isn't the body letting you down or attacking itself
- •Jay says blaming language toward the body leads to inaction
- •William says believing the body loves you can bring peace and help you act faster
- •Anthony can be found at The Medical Medium on social media and medicalmedium.com
- •Jay says he mastered his mind but neglected his body until it gave him signs
