Transcript

[McDonald's Announcer]

All new drinks are now at McDonald's with refreshers like the Strawberry Watermelon Refresher and the Mango Pineapple Refresher with popping Boba. To crafted sodas like the Sprite Berry Blast with berry flavors and cold foam. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire six? All new drinks are here now at McDonald's.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Refreshers contain caffeine. The Burch Show.

[Jen]

Hi.

[Bert]

Matthew Dwyer back in studio from Healthy Trim. What's going on, dude?

[Matthew Dwyer]

Good morning. How are you?

[Jen]

Good, man.

[Bert]

All right. For those that are like, new listeners to the Burt show and they have no idea who Matthew Dwyer is, they have no idea what Healthy Trim is. They don't have no idea who you are and what this challenge is all about, give them the Matthew Dwyer Healthy Trim Burt's Big Adventure 101.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Well, I was gonna do that. I was gonna talk about how after 27 months, you know, I've lost 47 pounds in the first 100 days. And after 27 months of going from a fat tub of goo to taking over Healthy Trim, Jen, am I still at 31 the waist after 27 months?

[Jen]

He was super skinny today. He walked in, and I was like, you are skinny. What's going on? You're not drinking enough.

[Bert]

He owns Healthy Trimmy. Absolutely.

[Jen]

You are too skinny.

[Matthew Dwyer]

I'm drinking enough. We're going to get to that in a second. Something that Melissa was talking about earlier regarding. Regarding vodka. So. But first, I want to start off by reading this email that Bert sent me last week. It says from a dude I put from the dude in the office. I put on Healthy Trim a month ago. I was able to stop taking my Adderall, and I have tons of energy, and the more exercise, and I'm feeling better. My meals have been cut in half because I get filled up so quickly. I'm able to control my urges for food because I constantly feel full and I want to smoke less, but I am not sure if it's because of Healthy Trim or because I stopped the Adderall. I feel really good, though. I feel better than I felt in three years. I'm sticking with it because I feel the results of losing weight quickly without having to wait to see the progress that is what's keeping me on it. Healthy Trim has changed my life in the last month.

[Jen]

Wow.

[Matthew Dwyer]

So I thought that was kind of a compelling email. And then I thought we would kind of, rather than talk about how great Healthy Trim is, let's go after. Let's everybody just come after me. I want to Know why?

[Bert]

Personally or professional?

[Matthew Dwyer]

Either way. Well, we've got over 100,000 people listening right now, and according to the studies. Yes, according to the studies.

[Melissa]

Really?

[Bert]

I don't think it's anywhere near that. All of a sudden, I got nauseous

[Matthew Dwyer]

a little bit.

[Melissa]

I thought it was just our families online.

[Bert]

Wow.

[Matthew Dwyer]

You know, I don't know. You know, would Q100 listeners, would they rather e eat boxed meals or count calories or have lap band surgery, or would they rather take an all natural supplement that actually works? What do you think?

[Bert]

Is that a rhetorical question? Yeah, I think I have to say healthy trim, because you're about to give me a big check for Burt's Big Adventure.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Well, you don't. But, you know, I think that people, you know, really want to know that. There's a bunch of questions that people want to know, and the number one question seems to be, can I drink alcoholic beverages while taking healthy trimming? And Melissa, you said this morning at 5:45 that. I'm sorry, Wendy, at 5:45 that there's 200 calories in a shot of vodka.

[Ashley]

Something like that.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Well, thankfully for me and for Bert, that's incorrect. There's actually 64 calories in a shot of Belvedere vodka and 69 calories and a shot of Svedka vodka. See? And for those of you that want to know. So basically, here's the gig. Yes, you can drink alcoholic beverages while on healthy trim, but the darker the liquor, the worse it is for you. The best is what Burt drinks, which is vodka soda, I think. I mean, have you ever had a vodka soda?

[Bert]

Maybe one or two. Yeah. And when I was getting in a

[Jen]

five minute period back in the day,

[Melissa]

Bert, when you were really healthy, you would just.

[Jen]

In 60 seconds, I could do two vodka tonics.

[Bert]

Yeah, maybe one or two.

[Melissa]

Back when you were really healthy, you just used to snort the pure vodka right up your nose.

[Bert]

That's not too far from the truth, to be totally honest with you. But, yeah, when I was working after that picture that we did a long time ago, my trainer had said, look, I mean, you gotta really watch what you're drinking here. And if you wanna watch the amount of calories that you have and the sugar intake, what you get hungover from is, yeah, the alcohol, but also your sugar intake. And it processes as fat or it stores as fat. The. The sugar and alcohol, so you really gotta watch what you're eating. And vodka, there's hardly any sugar at all in it, or at least it's better Than the dark liquor, doctor?

[Matthew Dwyer]

Yeah, that's correct. You want to stay away from vodka tonic. I do drink vodka cranberry. There's a little bit of sugar in the cranberry juice, but as you know, I don't put a whole lot of cranberry in my vodka. But another thing is, people want to know the price. It's $54.95, and without for a month's supply. And without question, people are saying they're saving money on healthy trim. And don't take my word for it. For y' all here in the studio and for everybody listening, when you go pump your gas today or tomorrow, just sit there at the food store and watch what people do when they pump their gas. They pump their gas and they go in and they buy a Big Gulp or they buy their energy drinks, and then they buy a big bag of chips and donuts and whatnot with it. My point is this. The Average person wastes $20 a day on the BS eating and snacking. So you will, without question, save money on healthy trim because you're eating what you want, but you're getting fuller, faster, and. And it's all natural.

[Jen]

You said come after you.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Yeah, come after me.

[Jen]

I've got a question.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Go. Let me have it.

[Jen]

I've heard from the people in the office who are taking healthy trim that you take it in the morning and then you don't eat for several hours. And that, to me, goes opposite of any nutritionist I've ever heard of, which is wake up and eat breakfast and get your metabolism started right away so that you are getting your metabolism going with a healthy breakfast, and you go all day long. But with healthy trim, they've said you're not supposed to eat.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Well, you sound like my brother Sean, the Harvard Business School graduates. Yes, that's correct. If you have the willpower to wake up in the morning and eat right away and then eat small six to seven meals a day, go get them. Personally, I can't do that. And I think most Americans are out there just like me that can't do that. I ask that you take healthy trim in the morning as your breakfast, drink water, and you go about your day. The only people that HealthyTrim does not work for are the people that forget to shelve their caffeinated drinks, period.

[Jen]

So they take it and keep drinking coffee, and so does the doctor.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Yeah, they take it and they drink their coffee or they drink their. And also, I think, Bert, you should tell people how you tell your friends and family to Take healthy trim.

[Bert]

When they ask me for a bottle, I tell them to take the smallest amount possible. And that's to. Because everybody's body is so different that I think people want to lose weight within 24 hours. So they take like three healthy trim when they wake up in the morning and, and they're so like, tweaked out that they stop taking it after 24 hours. So what I do is I tell them take the smallest amount possible in the first couple of days, just one pill, see how your body reacts to it. Lose all caffeine and then listen to your body over 72 hours and adjust from there. Like, some people need that meal in the morning, but you have to listen to your body. Others can go without that meal and go three hours and be fine.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Yeah, everybody's body's different. Some people need two, some people need four, some people need six. You know, some of these contestants, another thing is, you know, I want to make it clear that all these contestants, you're about to hear tremendous, tremendous weight loss from these 10 contestants we have out here. And we'll hear it from them. But the main thing is they got no special treatment other than taking HealthyTrim. Yes. Did I go in whenever I could to work out with them? Yes. Do you lose weight faster if you work out with HealthyTrim and you get tremendous workouts? Yes, you do. But HealthyTrim absolutely works. Do I know HealthyTrim is the best in the world? No, I do not. But I do know this. I'm on 150 radio stations throughout the country and everybody on all those stations is personally seeing results. So, you know, if you're listening out there, you have questions. You want to call into 800-456-Trim or go to HealthyTrim.com to learn more and find out why all these contestants are losing weight. It's HealthyTrim.com but, you know, another question is, is this FDA approved? Here's the deal. There's no preapproval with all natural supplements because there's nothing synthetic in here, Jen. However, the FDA highly, highly regulates the facilities where our supplements are manufactured. The other questions are about allergy and thyroid and high blood pressure, but I think we'll get into that once we get into these stories.

[Bert]

Ashley has a quick question for you and then I want to get into the donation part of this whole thing. Hey, Ashley, good morning. You're on Q100.

[Ashley]

Good morning. I had a question from Matthew about taking Healthy Trim with other weight loss products. Like I had Ally and Healthy trim going at the same time.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Did you carry your diaper with you with Ally, like it says on the bottom?

[Ashley]

Yeah, yeah. No.

[Bert]

You really poop yourself on that stuff?

[Matthew Dwyer]

It's. Yeah, yeah. It says right on the bottle, please carry a diaper with.

[Melissa]

I actually think that's a great thing. Like here, if you eat anything while you're taking this, you're gonna crap yourself. It's a pretty intensive.

[Bert]

At least it's honest.

[Melissa]

Yeah, it is.

[Jen]

You gotta be going through the drive through.

[Melissa]

That's a pretty solid diet product. Cause if somebody slipped that to me and said, if you eat in the next 24 hours, you're gonna cry, crap your pants, guess what you would need.

[Bert]

So what's your question, Ashley?

[Ashley]

Well, basically I just want to know, does he think that that probably had an effect on the healthy trend? Because the fact that I gained weight, I was like, I don't want to take this stuff anymore. Because, Ally, I consistently lose weight, maybe because I'm crapping myself. But also, you know, like, I just, I didn't know which one it was, if it was just negatively affecting it or if it was.

[Bert]

I don't understand combination.

[Matthew Dwyer]

I don't understand your question either.

[Bert]

What's the question? You were taking both at the same time.

[Ashley]

Yes.

[Bert]

And she's wondering why it didn't work. That's a lot of diet supplements.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Yeah, I'm not real sure. All I'll tell you is this. There's 150 milligrams of caffeine, natural caffeine from the green tea, in one capsule. So feel your body out. It's equivalent to a 16 ounce Starbucks cup of coffee or a Dunkin Donuts cup of coffee. So if you're used to three or four cups of coffee, you might need two or three healthy trim. Just figure out the right amount of healthy trim that curbs those late night cravings. Because the late night cravings are the killer. And here's the thing. I was a guy that tried 40 to 50 different dietary supplements and nothing worked for me. I loved the mashed potatoes, I loved the chips, I loved the sugars, I loved the carbs. And I couldn't stop myself. And now, after 27 months, not only did I lose 47 pounds in 100 days, but I've kept the weight off ever since. I've gone from a 38 in the waist to a 31 in the waist. And trust me, I like to live my life. I'm no stranger to fun. That's the beautiful thing about healthy trim. It's easy and it actually works. But you. I think we should kind of turn it over to the stories we've got.

[Bert]

That last. That last caller is a great example of how, like, people want to lose weight so desperately in 24 hours. She's willing to take everything at the same time. Yeah, do that.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Instructions. I mean, look, we're a month away from bathing suit season. I mean, this is the time. It's not January. Now is the time to go to Healthy Trim.com. you have nothing to lose but the weight because we'll fully refund your money, no questions asked if it doesn't work for you. But I know it will if you take it the right way.

[Bert]

All right, so let's get to Burt's Big Adventure and this contest also, because it was nine days ago that Matthew made the offer to 10 Burt show listeners and said, look, for every pound you lose, he was going to donate $50 to Burt's Big Adventure. That is big money for us right there. So we've had 10 people that have been losing weight for the last 90 days. The biggest success story in 90 days is Jay Gilhouse. 87 pounds in 90 days.

[Matthew Dwyer]

That's pretty strong, dude.

[Jen]

That's incredible.

[Bert]

I'm not even sure if that's endorsable because it's so much weight. Like, my first instinct is, is that healthy?

[Matthew Dwyer]

Well, yeah, he's, you know, look at my biggest loser. Some of These people lose £200. Yeah, it's first. Here's the beautiful thing.

[Melissa]

Matthew amputated both of his arms.

[Bert]

Yeah, we gotta get you.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Here's the beautiful thing about Jay Gilhous. And it leads into one of the frequently asked questions. Can you take healthy children with high blood pressure medication? He's been on high blood pressure medication since he was 19 years old. He's 47 years old. And last week, for the first time in 28 years, his doctor took him off high blood pressure medication.

[Jen]

Are you serious?

[Matthew Dwyer]

100%, he says, because of healthy trim. Nice.

[Ashley]

Wow.

[Bert]

That's incredible. Coupled with that story last week that I sent you from the employee here that's off the Adderall. I'm like, dang.

[Matthew Dwyer]

Okay. We had a girl with a thyroid condition started taking Healthy Trim. Her name is Emily York. She started taking. She takes Synthroid. She started taking Healthy Trim in September. She said she's tried everything for 10 years. She's lost 126 pounds since September.

[Jen]

That's a person.

[Bert]

Yeah, that is a person.

[Ashley]

Wow.

[Bert]

All right, so Overall, in the 90 days, these 10 contestants lost how much weight?

[Matthew Dwyer]

400 pounds, which gives us a donation of 20 grand. However, that's a $20,000. But I was here and Jeff, you know, you wanted me to be the biggest contributor and I wanted to be the biggest contributor. There was also times where I was on and the listeners got to participate and were able, if they bought Healthy Trim to make a donation themselves to Burt's Big Adventure. So we added it all up and it comes out to a check from HealthyTrim.com to Burt's Big Adventure for 40,000.

[Bert]

Wow, that is huge right there. That's, that's amazing.

[Jen]

That's life changing money right there for those families that get to go on Burt's Big Adventure.

[Bert]

Big times. Thank you to all the, the Burt's Big Adventure contestants that took this thing so seriously because that, like Jen said, they have no idea how they're going to touch these families next year. That's amazing.

[Matthew Dwyer]

It's really, you know, I'm, we're so glad to be a part of it. And again, if anybody wants to ask questions, anybody wants to, you know, find out about Healthy Trim, if anybody wants to start taking Healthy Trim, an all natural supplement that with lots of healthy benefits, they go to HealthyTrim.com or call 1-800-456-TRIM that's 800-456-TRIM.
