1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,240
You have the right to make some 
changes in your health. 

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,600
Women more and more are becoming
aware of their tie with health 

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,080
challenges and hormones and 
thyroid issues. 

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,360
If you're going to be healthy, 
you got to be deeply connected 

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,320
to three things. 
God, other people, and when I 

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,440
first opened my practice, my 
biggest shocker because they 

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,320
don't teach you this in school, 
almost every woman was going to 

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,480
come in with hypothyroidism or 
hormone imbalance of some sort 

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,080
due to poor diet, lacking 
nutrients and then too much 

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,520
stress. 
People with low stress live 

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,600
longer than people that have 
healthy diets and high. 

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,200
Stress You know the number one 
factor of somebody living a long

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,200
healthy life is. 
Welcome to this episode. 

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,240
I am so excited that we are 
hosting one of my favorite 

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,960
people, Doctor Josh Axe. 
He's our go to whenever we have 

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,840
a family problem. 
I'm like I'm going to text 

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,040
Doctor Josh Axe. 
He will have a solution. 

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,920
And if you are a mom who is so 
excited about what you are 

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,560
seeing happen in the medical 
world, we are all about make 

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,520
America healthy again. 
And Doctor Axe is going to bring

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,960
you some tools so you can do 
just that. 

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,600
And today I'm joined by my 
beautiful done law Christian who

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,800
has just had a baby. 
And she said she can feel the 

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,440
entire episode with her 
questions with Doctor Axe. 

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,440
But Doctor Axe, you are your 
chiropractor, but you have 

26
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,680
become expert in regenerative 
medicine, natural approach. 

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,720
You're the one I go to and 
you're always like, OK, you need

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,520
to up this. 
You need to do that. 

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,960
You never, you never make me 
feel stupid when I ask 

30
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:45,840
questions. 
You always give me practices 

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,880
that I can implement and it's 
not too difficult to follow. 

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,240
And I'm just so excited to 
welcome you to the show today. 

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,680
It's an. 
Honor to be here. 

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,960
So super excited and fire away. 
Let's go. 

35
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,120
It's. 
Like I'm. 

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,520
Ready. 
Absolutely. 

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Well, first of all, I think 
women more and more are becoming

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,880
aware of their tie with health 
challenges and hormones and 

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,960
thyroid issues. 
And we we've opened up. 

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,120
I said I was driving and I said,
hey, today I have doctor Josh 

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,920
Axe. 
We want to actually ask him the 

42
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:21,160
questions that you're looking 
for answers to. 

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,440
And so Christian has pulled some
of those. 

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,040
Yeah, we really can't start 
anywhere, right? 

45
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,840
For us, Lisa was not lying. 
When I had my first baby, I was 

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,520
like, hell, this is going on, 
she said. 

47
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,640
Ask Doctor Axe. 
And I feel like there's so much 

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,880
within health, and correct me if
I'm wrong, that people just 

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,800
think it's only when there's a 
problem that arises that you 

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,440
have to fix it. 
But people want to know how do I

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,360
just even start to get a healthy
lifestyle before I get a crazy 

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,160
diagnosis? 
Which you even have a testimony 

53
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,600
around that if you wouldn't mind
sharing? 

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,560
Yeah, yeah. 
Well, what got me into the 

55
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,520
natural health space was my mom 
being diagnosed with cancer. 

56
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,720
So 41 years old, she was 
diagnosed with breast cancer. 

57
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,640
And it was really shocking to my
family because my mom was my gym

58
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,760
teacher in elementary school. 
She was a swim instructor. 

59
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,040
So you would have looked at her 
and thought, this woman is fit, 

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,520
she's healthy but got the cancer
diagnosis. 

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,440
And I still remember my mom. 
I have this sort of vivid image 

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,880
in my head. 
My mom was looking at her 

63
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,000
bathroom mirror. 
She was taking a pic. 

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,600
This is after maybe her second 
chemo treatment. 

65
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,680
All of her, her hair coming out 
like in chunks and just weeping.

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,960
And I remember seeing that as a 
kid and that just breaking my 

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,080
heart and just saying I want to 
help that I want to help people 

68
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,400
like my mom. 
I also had this other distinct 

69
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,960
thought and it was this, there's
got to be a better way in order 

70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,360
to get healthy. 
And so that led me to 

71
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,400
eventually, you know, go and get
a degree in chiropractic, get a 

72
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,160
certification natural medicine 
and nutrition and, and some 

73
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,080
other things and really just 
pursuit of a career and 

74
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,680
regenerative medicine and 
healing. 

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,880
And, and that's sort of how I 
ended up startingdoctorx.com 

76
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,400
and, and just educating people 
on, on the power of, of healing.

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,680
And So what I would actually say
where people should start is, 

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,760
yeah, I was actually listening 
to a APHD in, in in the Bible 

79
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,640
recently. 
And he was talking about if 

80
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,720
you're going to be healthy, you 
got to be deeply connected to 

81
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,320
three things. 
God, other people in the earth. 

82
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,959
And it's interesting to think 
about, you know, being deeply 

83
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:22,320
connected and in tune with the 
earth. 

84
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,400
We have something in our body 
called circadian rhythms, which 

85
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,160
is deeply tied to our hormonal 
health. 

86
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,280
So when the sun is rising, your 
body hormonally OK, cortisol 

87
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:33,000
starts going up. 
When the sun is setting, 

88
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,200
melatonin starts going down. 
And these hormones sort of act 

89
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,360
like a domino. 
If you hit one hormone off, it 

90
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,040
affects all the other hormones 
and the two hormones that tend 

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520
to be the most off that then 
'cause other hormonal issues are

92
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,680
cortisol and insulin. 
Cortisol is most tied to that 

93
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,560
fight or flight state. 
It's a stress hormone, most tied

94
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,120
to your nervous system. 
It's called the HPA access. 

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,720
It's your hypothalamus, your 
bacteria, and then your adrenals

96
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,600
and your adrenals start pumping 
out cortisol. 

97
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,680
The other one is insulin, which 
we know diet related. 

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,200
You eat too much sugar that 
starts to spike. 

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,560
But when those hormones get off,
that affects progesterone, it 

100
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,400
affects estrogen, it affects 
testosterone and starts to in 

101
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,240
thyroid hormones. 
And so, you know, when I opened 

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,720
up my functional medicine 
clinic, when I operated that 

103
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,440
full time in Nashville, we were 
talking about opening up a new 

104
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,440
clinic soon. 
I do have a telemedicine clinic 

105
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,960
where people I see people online
now see. 

106
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,360
I didn't know that I was just 
going right to you. 

107
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,320
Yeah. 
Well, that's OK, You can. 

108
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,320
Telephone Medicine. 
But you know, when I first 

109
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,440
opened my practice, my biggest 
shocker because they don't teach

110
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,000
you this in school, they didn't 
tell me that almost every woman 

111
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,400
was going to come in with 
hypothyroidism or or hormone 

112
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,600
imbalance of some sort. 
PCOS was so prevalent, major 

113
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,680
menopausal symptoms. 
And so that was really one of 

114
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,480
the first things I said. 
I want to be able to get to the 

115
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,240
root of the issue. 
And that's always my mind around

116
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,880
things of, OK, how do I actually
get to the root cause and start 

117
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,120
to heal the body and do it from 
a multi pronged approach? 

118
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,840
Because what happens today so 
often is people go see their 

119
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:04,120
doctor in the conventional 
space. 

120
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,200
It's well, here's Synthroid or 
here's Prozac or here's hormone 

121
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,000
replacement therapy. 
Here's something like that. 

122
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:15,240
And in the natural field, it's, 
it's a little bit more they, 

123
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,880
they sometimes will do that, but
it tends to be, I'm going to 

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,800
give you a cookie cutter diet of
like paleo or keto or vegan or 

125
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,720
something like that. 
And maybe there's a few 

126
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,040
supplements I'm going to 
recommend. 

127
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,280
And what I found is people get 
the best results when we take a 

128
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:32,040
multi pronged approach and also 
focus on the root cause. 

129
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,000
So for instance, there is a 
study that came out a few years 

130
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,320
ago and it said that if a woman 
takes birth control pills, their

131
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,240
chance of having hypothyroidism 
goes up by 287%. 

132
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200
And so I looked at that data and
started saying, well, what 

133
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,280
happens when you take birth 
control pills? 

134
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,880
Well, I started doing the 
research and it's and what 

135
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,400
happens is it in it negatively 
impacts methylation in the body,

136
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,720
which is your body creating 
cellular energy. 

137
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,720
And in methylation a lot of it 
is connected to your B vitamin, 

138
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,160
your B vitamins. 
So when you take birth control 

139
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,840
it depletes your body of vitamin
B1B2B3B5B6B9 and B12 that 

140
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,760
doesn't. 
Sound good? 

141
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,320
And zinc, selenium and 
magnesium, which basically are 

142
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,120
all of the nutrients you need 
for your thyroid to function 

143
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,040
properly. 
So there are so many women. 

144
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,480
I actually was talking to Ally 
Best Stuckey. 

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,720
I was on her podcast and we 
started talking about this 

146
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,040
because so many women today have
hypothyroid and they don't 

147
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,240
realize it all started when they
start taking birth control. 

148
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Because all these kids, the 
number of girls taking this in 

149
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,440
high school, in college. 
Well, and they've to them, 

150
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,280
they've said it's going to 
regulate their periods, it's 

151
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,920
going to clear up their skin and
they don't. 

152
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,720
I mean, I don't know if you know
this, but the birth control pill

153
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,720
is actually unabortificant. 
It doesn't stop you from 

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,400
conceiving. 
It causes you to shed your 

155
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,600
lining, even if there is a 
fertilized embryo. 

156
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,800
So that, that was a shock to me 
when I discovered that. 

157
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,360
So I mean, they have no idea. 
And think about this. 

158
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,880
When you're a woman and you've 
conceived and then your body is 

159
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,680
constantly shedding life, that's
going to mess up your hormones 

160
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,560
as well. 
If you're enjoying this podcast,

161
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,520
I want to challenge you about 
partnering with us. 

162
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,720
We are so excited about about a 
partnership program. 

163
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,880
We're going to be bringing you 
exclusive content. 

164
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,640
So you want to get in on the 
ground floor? 

165
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,840
Go ahead and click the link 
below. 

166
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,559
Yeah, it's, it's a real. 
So, So what starts to happen is 

167
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,799
the other thing is you have 
these mitochondria in your cells

168
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:38,760
and they're basically what give 
your body energy. 

169
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,000
And so one of the things that 
happens with women with 

170
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760
hypothyroidism is their body 
temperature goes down because 

171
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,240
your body doesn't have the 
energy to heat itself. 

172
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,680
Your body doesn't have the 
energy to like your hair can 

173
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,640
start to thin. 
You're you're fatigued all the 

174
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,960
time. 
And so to truly get to the root 

175
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,080
of the issue, we know well now 
we need to one, get off birth 

176
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,160
control. 
But along with that, we need to 

177
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,360
start doing a lot more B 
vitamins. 

178
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,600
Let's do it with the foods you 
eat. 

179
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,160
Let's do it with some 
supplementation. 

180
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,880
Let's do high dose probiotic 
because that's very important 

181
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,000
for absorbing these B vitamins. 
And, and then there's some 

182
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
lifestyle factors. 
You can't be busy every single 

183
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,760
second of every day. 
You need some Margie, you need 

184
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,480
some downtime. 
So, so there are very, very 

185
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,760
specific things that I think 
that I've learned to do in 

186
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,520
practice and that is get to the 
root of the issue. 

187
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,760
Find out why this this 
conditions here in the 1st 

188
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,080
place. 
But I think women primarily have

189
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,800
hormone imbalances due to poor 
diet, lacking nutrients, 

190
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,840
especially healthy fatty acids 
and, and good bacteria. 

191
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,800
And then too much stress, just 
not enough downtime. 

192
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,200
And then toxins and medications,
pharmaceuticals actually fall 

193
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,000
into that because they're 
depleting your body. 

194
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:50,200
Wow. 
Can we go back to what is it the

195
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,240
PCOSPCO? 
S which I think it's one in 10 

196
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,760
women now. 
And what exactly is that? 

197
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,640
So, so, so PCOS stands for 
polycystic ovary syndrome. 

198
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,440
And that's when you know, you 
start to get cysts on your 

199
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,320
ovaries, OK. 
And, and this is the number one 

200
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,720
cause of infertility in women 
today is PCOS. 

201
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,320
And so, and if we're looking at 
it from more of a less Western 

202
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,160
perspective, more Eastern is 
your body is, is, has two things

203
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,280
going on. 
It's accumulating too much 

204
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,440
dampness, so unhealthy microbes,
almost like it's not candied in 

205
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,240
the air, but you're building up 
too much dampness in the area 

206
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,800
and there's stagnation, there's 
not enough blood moving in the 

207
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,760
area. 
So blood flow, blood flow is 

208
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:30,760
obstructed. 
Yep. 

209
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,080
And so that starts. 
And so actually the cysts start 

210
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,400
to develop in the area. 
Because of that. 

211
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,880
Now a lot of scientists have 
started calling PCs type 4 

212
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,360
diabetes because it's so 
connected to insulin. 

213
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,080
So sugar is the single great 
great greatest causative factor 

214
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,360
of PCOS and infertility. 
Issues I. 

215
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,280
Mean it makes sense, but yeah, 
no. 

216
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,680
Yeah, Wow. 
OK, wow. 

217
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,280
But there are a lot of herbs, 
there's a lot of dietary changes

218
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,160
that are really simple, like 
like a woman could go and take 

219
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,080
berberine, which comes from the 
bayberry leaf that's super 

220
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,640
powerful, doing cinnamon, doing 
just upping your protein intake.

221
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,880
You know these these things will
start to start to reverse it. 

222
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,240
Yeah, I mean, that makes sense 
because I'm foremost aspartum 

223
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,400
now, and I feel like that's the 
stage where, you know, you start

224
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,120
losing some of your hair and 
your hormones try to regulate. 

225
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,680
And this last week I started 
doing Pilates and it was going 

226
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,640
great. 
I was, you know, got healthy 

227
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,840
again and then I was doing 
machine and just could not stay 

228
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,840
balanced. 
And I started thinking I was OK,

229
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,920
well, I'm eating a lot of 
protein. 

230
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,000
I'm doing all these things. 
And then I realized I feel like 

231
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,480
my hormones are a little out 
balance. 

232
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,320
I need to probably get back on 
my prenatal, got my minerals 

233
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,600
back in and that's helped so 
much. 

234
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,440
So you talk about supplementing.
How can people know? 

235
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,880
Maybe this is a way that could 
harm you, but this is a safe 

236
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,520
route for supplementing. 
Yeah. 

237
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,400
Well, I want to mention a couple
things about what you just 

238
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,200
shared and then let me answer 
that question. 

239
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,000
So most women do not eat for 
their cycle, but they should. 

240
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,520
So the way it works is the first
part of your cycle. 

241
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,720
Estrogen is low, so it. 
Must be day one. 

242
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,320
Day one to 10 to 10, let's do, 
let's do it that way. 

243
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,520
You can hit on ovulation too. 
But day one to 10, you wanted to

244
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,960
be doing a lower carbohydrate 
and you want to be going a 

245
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,680
little bit easier. 
You just bled too. 

246
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:15,600
So you want to be able to do 
blood building foods, red meat, 

247
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,000
beet, beets, green leafy 
vegetables, You just want, you 

248
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,080
really want to build your blood,
even do an iron supplement 

249
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,360
possibly for for some women. 
And then that middle phase when 

250
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:27,640
estrogen goes high and, and 
you're close to ovulation, 

251
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,520
that's when you're at your 
strongest. 

252
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,680
Actually testosterone jumps up a
little bit women, which it 

253
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,080
should and that's good there 
too. 

254
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,520
So think low estrogen, low carb,
high estrogen, higher carb. 

255
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,320
And so you, you and you want to 
be working out around your cycle

256
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,080
in that way. 
So if you're going to do lag day

257
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,640
or, or butt day or go and 
actually have a really intense 

258
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,880
work out, you want to do that 
the most in the middle of your 

259
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,040
cycle and then in the end. 
And so in during that time as 

260
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,960
well, because estrogen's high, 
you want to start to do so the 

261
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,840
first phase, you want blood 
building foods. 

262
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,920
The, the middle phase, you want 
to support detoxification of 

263
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,120
your, of excess estrogen in your
body. 

264
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,920
And then the end of the phase 
you want to start doing, you 

265
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,840
just want to do, you want to do 
a lot of minerals and things 

266
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,760
like that, especially magnesium 
to kind of prepare your but your

267
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,400
body. 
But I did want to mention now, 

268
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,160
you know, coming out of 
pregnancy, the amount of blood 

269
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,680
women lose during pregnancy and 
the amount of blood your body 

270
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,120
needs to create a placenta. 
And here's the other thing. 

271
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,520
Did you know that breast milk 
primarily comes from in a way, 

272
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,800
blood So, So for women 
postpartum, I think most women 

273
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,640
that struggle with postpartum 
depression, it's due to hormone 

274
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,200
balance. 
But part of it is we call it a 

275
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,040
blood deficiency. 
And so you'll sometimes feel 

276
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,040
almost like weak or light headed
or those that's a lot of times 

277
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,920
your body needs to build the 
blood back up. 

278
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,440
So in ancient. 
How do you do that? 

279
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,000
Yeah, yeah. 
So actually, well, the biggest. 

280
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,520
Now, again, people have 
different thoughts on this, but 

281
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,880
traditionally in some cultures, 
they would have women do 

282
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,840
placenta, so they would actually
encapsulate the placenta and 

283
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,840
they would also have them do 
liver and heart. 

284
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,600
So they would actually have them
do glandulars, eat more organ 

285
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,600
meats because they're actually 
by far the strongest blood 

286
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,960
builders. 
But you can do herbs to there's 

287
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,040
herbs like Don Kuai that are 
blood blood building nettles or 

288
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,440
take an iron supplement. 
But I think you really coming 

289
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,720
out of out of pregnancy, most 
women don't build their blood 

290
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,000
enough. 
And so it takes them much longer

291
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,080
than it should to, you know, 
feel vibrant. 

292
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,240
Vibe. 
Vibrant. 

293
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,800
Was the word vibrant again? 
Yeah. 

294
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,400
Yeah. 
And you said detox because I 

295
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,680
know a lot of women are estrogen
dominant. 

296
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,160
So that is a problem across the 
board for a lot of women just 

297
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,000
because it's it the pseudo 
estrogens are in lotions. 

298
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,120
It's in everything. 
How do, how does a woman say, 

299
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,200
man, I've been told I'm estrogen
dominant. 

300
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,480
How does she bring that down? 
Because I know that's toxic. 

301
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,320
Well, most women think, OK, my 
estrogen is high, that's hormone

302
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,080
imbalance. 
It is. 

303
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,240
But why is it in balance? 
Well, the reason is, is you're 

304
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,480
getting too many Zoto estrogens,
but your liver is the organ. 

305
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,360
Actually your liver is, is very 
heavily involved in hormone 

306
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,400
balance in, in, in what your 
estrogen levels are. 

307
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,360
So you really want to support 
your liver primarily and that 

308
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,680
will take care of that. 
So now one, stop eating stuff 

309
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,120
that's throwing up here, that's 
that's causing estrogen overload

310
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,120
now, So what? 
Would be some of those things. 

311
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Well, and I want to, I do want 
to say that these foods aren't 

312
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,440
bad, you just need to eat them 
at the right times and at the 

313
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,840
right with based on where you're
at in life. 

314
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,320
So soy. 
You and Jordan told me, stay 

315
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,320
away. 
From that let me say this. 

316
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,880
Yeah, unless it's in the natural
form. 

317
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,480
Now you're OK with soy? 
Because I have no estrogen. 

318
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,160
Yes, yeah. 
So, so, so you know, and, and 

319
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,440
here's another one, flax seeds. 
So like soy and flax. 

320
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,960
And there's a few other foods 
too, but those are really, 

321
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,000
really good at helping build and
grow estrogen. 

322
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,920
But that's not ideal for if if 
you're, you know, estrogen 

323
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,160
dominant already. 
So really what you want to do is

324
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,440
you really want to support the 
liver. 

325
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,640
Doing a lot of steamed 
vegetables, steamed carrots, 

326
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,240
steamed broccoli, steamed 
asparagus, steamed spinach. 

327
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,280
But loads and loads of steamed 
vegetables is probably the top 

328
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,560
way. 
In addition, doing milk Thistle 

329
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,080
and dandelion tea, those herbs, 
especially milk Thistle has been

330
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,520
shown in clinical studies to 
help get rid of all the excess 

331
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,080
estrogen out of the body. 
Yeah. 

332
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,600
Well, I, I, you can text me 
later and I'll send you anything

333
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,640
else you want to, but I would 
say, yeah. 

334
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,480
So green vegetables from a fruit
standpoint, apples tend to be 

335
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,560
pretty good at this. 
So apples and pears, berries are

336
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,280
going to be very cleansing. 
And then actually doing wild 

337
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,880
fish, bone broth and liver, in 
terms of actual meat products 

338
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,600
will be the most cleansing for 
the liver. 

339
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,360
And then some whole grains are 
good. 

340
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,720
You know, sourdough is probably 
better than other grains for the

341
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,080
liver. 
Rye and Millet in particular. 

342
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,440
But yeah, if you make those 
simple shifts in the diet, 

343
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,440
that'll that'll help with the 
excess estrogen. 

344
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,600
OK, well I have to ask this here
because we hear so many diets 

345
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,680
going around right now. 
Your son particularly was like, 

346
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,720
we're going to do the carnivore 
diet and it's worked great for 

347
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,119
him and I've liked the protein, 
but that's cutting out 

348
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,359
vegetables and grains. 
Now I know men and women, 

349
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,160
obviously we even see this in 
the world are created 

350
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,760
differently. 
So if you do have a spouse that 

351
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,400
has a different dietary 
preference, should women, 

352
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,079
especially if they're having a 
diagnosis or they've just had a 

353
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:28,600
child, should they have a 
different type of diet to 

354
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,240
facilitate some of these needs? 
Yeah. 

355
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,720
So everyone is unique and 
everybody needs a diet very 

356
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,160
specific for them. 
Now, I do think there's an 

357
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,160
there, I do think there's an 
element around seasonal eating 

358
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,840
and, and, and, and that would be
another thing. 

359
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,240
But I do think that everybody's 
body is different. 

360
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,880
You know, Now, I don't want to 
create too much complexity 

361
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,920
because it's like, if you're 
making dinner at night, it's 

362
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,960
like, well, do I make every 
single person in my family a 

363
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,240
different meal? 
No, no. 

364
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:02,160
But generally, you know, some. 
And I found this, too. 

365
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,200
Men do better with fasting than 
women do. 

366
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,120
Men do better tend to be a 
little bit better with a little 

367
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:10,280
bit more higher meat or more 
carnivore than women do 

368
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,320
typically, but not always. 
That's definitely not a rule of 

369
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,320
thumb for somebody to go on a 
carnivore diet. 

370
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,280
The only time I recommend that 
is if they have a major, major 

371
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,920
immune reactions and it's for a 
period of time. 

372
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,880
For instance, I have a friend, 
Michaela Peterson, Jordan 

373
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,120
Peterson's daughter, Walk them 
through some of that. 

374
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:27,760
Right. 
So she does carnivore. 

375
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,040
Another friend, Paul Saladino, 
he's done carnivore. 

376
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,840
Well, now he's added in fruit 
and honey and milk. 

377
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,720
But yeah. 
Because Jordan did that too with

378
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,280
his daughter. 
Didn't need to bring some 

379
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,080
healing. 
Yeah, for, for, for a period of 

380
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,720
time. 
So, so I think carnivore if 

381
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,520
you're having major immune 
reactions. 

382
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,080
So, so here, here's what happens
if somebody's gut microbiome is 

383
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,240
very often their immune system 
is overreactive. 

384
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,800
If they have any type of fiber 
or anything that's fermentable, 

385
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,080
their body will create bacteria 
and then they'll get, they'll, 

386
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,680
they'll get major symptoms from 
it. 

387
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,760
So carnivore, when you're eating
meat, there's no, there's no, 

388
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,440
there's no fight. 
There's no prebiotic. 

389
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,520
So your body isn't going to 
create anything that's going to 

390
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,000
cause a reaction. 
But is it the ideal diet for the

391
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,800
average person? 
It is not. 

392
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,640
I, I had a, someone I 
interviewed recently and he went

393
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,440
through the research on how if 
you stick to that diet for too 

394
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,040
long, especially for women, 
it'll start pulling minerals out

395
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,240
of your bones because meat is 
more acidic. 

396
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,120
And that's fine. 
Acidic's not bad. 

397
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,400
Could be when I got dizzy at 
Pillai. 

398
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,040
Yeah, but if you only do that, 
you'll start to lose calcium, 

399
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,200
magnesium, phosphate. 
It'll it'll start to, you know, 

400
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,840
'cause some of those issues I. 
Believe. 

401
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,200
You yeah does blood type get 
factored in at all 'cause we are

402
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,320
both blood type AI know that's a
whole nother can of worms. 

403
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:49,760
John is O John does so much 
better with a lot of meat and 

404
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,040
and I don't. 
Let let let me tell you what 

405
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,960
this is. 
This is observation. 

406
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,520
So I read Doctor doctor DS book 
the the the the blood type diet 

407
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,840
this is. 
Bad eat right for. 

408
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:01,560
Your blood type this is. 
Super long ago. 

409
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,760
So so I don't think he's 
completely correct in his 

410
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,520
assumption. 
So let me say that I do not 

411
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,640
think that you everyone should 
go and follow a blood type diet.

412
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,280
I don't agree with a lot of his 
assumptions. 

413
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,560
However, after seeing a lot of 
people and being aware of a lot 

414
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:21,240
of people's blood types, do I 
think that the O blood types do 

415
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,240
better on higher meat in the A 
and AB? 

416
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,040
You know, some of those do 
better with more plants. 

417
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,400
I I think there's a good chance 
that's true. 

418
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,880
Yeah, I think there's a good 
chance that's true. 

419
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:34,320
But again, again, I'm not going 
off scientific data. 

420
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,760
I'm just going off of 
observation. 

421
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,240
Like even my own family, like my
dad and I are a blood type. 

422
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:46,240
My mom is AB and she's or no, 
she's B and but she's like, I 

423
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,320
just see it, you know, I just 
see that she thrives on doing a 

424
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,400
lot more, more plants, so. 
We've talked about a lot of 

425
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,440
great information that I know 
I'm going to go back and 

426
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,360
revisit, but I want to dive into
even what you're saying earlier.

427
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,920
If you need the three things, 
and one of those being you need 

428
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,480
to be in tune with God to be 
really healthy. 

429
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,800
Do you mind sharing your 
testimony about guess what you 

430
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,480
take in, but also what you 
believe and how that affects 

431
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,280
your overall health? 
Yeah, yeah. 

432
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,080
So I, I was super blessed to 
have just amazing parents. 

433
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,880
I grew up in a Christian 
household, went to a Christian 

434
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,160
School through 8th grade. 
And yeah, I was actually, you 

435
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,120
know, I was actually 
interviewing John Eldridge 

436
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:24,960
before this. 
And he says, hey, I was like, Oh

437
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,800
yeah, they're in college. 
Yeah, like they're not anyway, 

438
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,880
so, but yeah, we were, we were, 
we were actually talking about 

439
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,760
this. 
I said, you know, when I was 

440
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,720
younger, I always went to Sunday
school and I'm like, do they 

441
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,800
have Sunday school anymore at 
church? 

442
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Actually, I don't know that that
even. 

443
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,480
I don't think they do anymore. 
Yeah, I think parents just, it's

444
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,080
just services. 
Yeah, so, so we were talking 

445
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,560
about a lot of that. 
And I, I was really blessed to 

446
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,640
have gone to Sunday school, to 
have gone to Christian School 

447
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,880
and to have a relationship with,
with, with Jesus early on in 

448
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,800
life. 
However, I went through this, 

449
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,160
you know, period of time. 
I Senior High School for first 

450
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,000
couple years of college, really 
just sort of walked away from my

451
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,520
faith and almost like I was 
living 2 lives. 

452
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,280
And then after two years of 
College of, you know, drinking 

453
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,720
too much and, and, and going to 
parties, I just, I just felt 

454
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,840
that feeling of just like I'm 
unfulfilled and I'm empty. 

455
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,360
And, you know, and when you've 
had it before, you know what 

456
00:22:20,360 --> 00:22:22,760
it's like. 
And so for me, I just 

457
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,760
rededicated my life to God and, 
and just, and then, and then for

458
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,840
my last couple years, I was, you
know, part of the ministry and 

459
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,240
bring people to lunch and share 
my faith and testimony and 

460
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,760
walking through how to have a 
relationship with, with God. 

461
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,200
And, and I think for me, it was,
it was, it was. 

462
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,880
So, you know, I remember reading
the Bible in high school and 

463
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,440
sort of maybe connecting with it
a little bit. 

464
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,840
But when I sort of rededicated 
my life to God and I was reading

465
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,120
the Bible and like, it was such 
a, you know, being in the zone 

466
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:54,000
of such a speaking to me in a 
spiritual way, it was just 

467
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,720
incredibly powerful. 
And so I yeah, yeah. 

468
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,800
So I mean, that's, I mean, 
that's, that's partly my 

469
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,720
testimony, I think for, you 
know, growing up, half of my 

470
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,360
family was Protestant, half my 
family was Catholic. 

471
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:15,040
And today I'm, I'm really, and 
you know, it's I, I'm not, I'm, 

472
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,080
I'm actually a lot less married,
whether you're Protestant or 

473
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,720
Catholic or Orthodox or whatever
today, as long as you have a 

474
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:25,080
great relationship with Jesus. 
But but you know, I saw my 

475
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,760
Catholic side growing up and it 
was very much ritual. 

476
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,480
And my Protestant side, 
especially my grandfather was 

477
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,320
very much relationship. 
And so I was able to kind of 

478
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,600
stand back and look at, well, 
what does your life look like if

479
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,520
it's only ritual? 
And what does your life look 

480
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,760
like if it's really focused 
mostly on relationship? 

481
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,640
And I was able to see the fruit 
in my grandfather. 

482
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,120
Like, I had a grandfather who, I
mean, he up until was 96 years 

483
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:52,080
old, he would go to the hospital
every week and pray for people. 

484
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,120
He put his hands on theirs. 
He would bring them their 

485
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:57,280
favorite meal. 
And I got to go with him doing 

486
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,000
that growing up. 
What a legacy. 

487
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,520
Yeah, yeah. 
He, he, he, he when he was 4040 

488
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,840
years old, he sold his or he 
left his business. 

489
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,520
He had put all his money into 
starting a campground in like a 

490
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,520
retreat Center for people. 
And so he would just go back, I 

491
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,480
mean, just all day, just 
teaching people about the Lord 

492
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,000
every single day. 
So I got to see that growing up 

493
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,280
and it was, it was a really 
powerful thing. 

494
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,760
So but I, and then to go to 
other people, you know, I, I've 

495
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,720
taken care of 10s of thousands 
of patients and I can tell you 

496
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,400
that food makes a really big 
difference in their health, but 

497
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,920
their faith makes a bigger 
difference. 

498
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,080
It makes the biggest difference 
of all. 

499
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,520
And when I have people, even 
when I help them with nutrition 

500
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,000
and they're stuck and they still
can't seem to break free, it's 

501
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,920
their faith. 
And when I say faith it is, it's

502
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,080
not that a person is Christian 
or not Christian. 

503
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,040
In a lot of cases, it's they 
become so obsessive about the 

504
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,360
thing that they have. 
Maybe it's fibromyalgia, maybe 

505
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:55,000
it's the hormone condition, 
whatever. 

506
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,800
And they obsess and focus. 
And it's like it's almost the 

507
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,960
only thing they see that keeps 
people sick more than almost 

508
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,480
anything else. 
I mean, more than a poor, I 

509
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,760
mean, I know people that have 
had terrible diets, absolutely 

510
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,920
terrible and they're still 
healthy, pretty darn healthy. 

511
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:12,000
I mean, that's the stress thing 
because they are saying some 

512
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,200
people in Alabama, which you 
know that I'm sorry, I'm not 

513
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,400
trying to insult you, but they 
fry everything and they're not 

514
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,600
having healthy diets, but they 
have very low stress and people 

515
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,760
with low stress live longer than
people that have healthy diets 

516
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:25,800
and high. 
Stress. 

517
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,680
Exactly. 
How do you decortisol? 

518
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Because when I look at cortisol,
optimum sleep and everything, I 

519
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,960
might just don't even look at it
because it's not a reality in 

520
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,720
this season. 
But I'm aware that especially as

521
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,040
a postpartum woman, cortisol is 
high. 

522
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,480
You know, all of us have high 
cortisol. 

523
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,440
How do we I? 
Actually have low cortisol, 

524
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,480
which is shocking. 
They just did my blood work and 

525
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,960
they're like, oh, you have low 
cortisol. 

526
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,080
I'm like, I know. 
Wow, I know. 

527
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,480
How big conflict? 
People get low cortisol for two 

528
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,200
reasons. 
One, they got low stress and 

529
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,480
they're actually dealing with it
well #2 it went so high their 

530
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,960
body couldn't sustain anymore 
and it crashed down. 

531
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,600
You're probably the first one. 
But, but, but I, I here, here's 

532
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:09,840
what I would say to get cortisol
low. 

533
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,440
There's a few, there's a few 
things you can do. 

534
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,120
Number one, I think it does go 
back to the thing I mentioned 

535
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,680
earlier in terms of connect to 
God, connect to people, those 

536
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,480
healthy relationships in connect
the Earth. 

537
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,960
The biggest thing people are 
missing today is spending time 

538
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,600
outside. 
Like if I look at why people 

539
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,720
have insomnia today, the lack of
time spent outdoors is number 1 

540
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,120
and, and, and let me say it is 
sunlight. 

541
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:36,040
That's a huge part, but it's 
also just there's the magnetism 

542
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,720
of being close to the earth. 
There's the, the air there. 

543
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,360
There are so many things that 
you don't get inside that you do

544
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:44,200
get outside. 
Like I think when I've slept the

545
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,720
absolute best, it's like, oh, 
we're going boating all like we 

546
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,840
went to summer, went 
wakeboarding and wake surfing on

547
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,880
the on on a boat. 
And you know, every night I was 

548
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,360
like, man, that's the first 
night I've slept all the way 

549
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:57,040
through the night without waking
up. 

550
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,840
So the artificial light at 
night, having too much of that 

551
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,680
and the lack of during the day 
and just spending time going on 

552
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:10,000
a walk and just taking a moment 
that will reset your cortisol 

553
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,440
probably faster than anything. 
The second thing is breathing 

554
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,960
and so most people don't realize
they'll hold their breath or 

555
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,640
doing things constantly to where
they're not breathing regularly 

556
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,080
There, there's AI always hate. 
I hesitate to bring this up 

557
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,880
because I always get 2 responses
Lisa on this. 

558
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,080
It's like if I bring up anything
Chinese medicine related, you 

559
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,000
know, some people tell me, well,
if it comes from China, you 

560
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,800
know, it's new age and you're 
going to, you know, somewhere or

561
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,960
whatever. 
So so but but I'm a big fan of 

562
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,440
Chinese medicine is like 4000 
years old. 

563
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,920
I think it. 
Needs to be merged. 

564
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,120
Western and Eastern medicine. 
And I think that, yeah, I mean, 

565
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:49,560
why is it demonic to give 
somebody herbs, but it's not 

566
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,360
demonic to cut them open. 
So they're kind of feels like 

567
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,120
there's some questions on some 
of that. 

568
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,280
Yeah, so, so, so, but they have 
this practice which, listen, you

569
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,680
can do it, you can call it 
something else, you can call it 

570
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,040
pneuma, whatever you want to 
call it. 

571
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,760
But you know, it's it's it's 
basically breathing, it's called

572
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,760
chagon. 
But basically you're just like 

573
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,800
just working on your lung and 
your colon, your breathing in as

574
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,960
widely as you can, as many 
places as you can, and breathing

575
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,160
out and just in in in the 
medical literature shows us the 

576
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,120
single fastest way to reset your
vagus nerve and your cortisol is

577
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:27,000
by doing deep breathing for like
1 minute. 

578
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,360
So just breathe in for about 5-7
seconds, hold it for one second,

579
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,640
breathe out for about 5 to 7 
seconds. 

580
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,840
And doing that, it really, 
really rebalances your cortisol 

581
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,920
pretty quickly. 
And then, you know, I also 

582
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,960
found, you know, I, when I first
opened my practice, I would have

583
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,640
patients come in and they would 
see their primary care doc and 

584
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,520
they would come in and they 
would say, yeah, my doctor told 

585
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,080
me some things. 
And one things that they told me

586
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,040
is I need to reduce stress. 
I'm like, that's great advice. 

587
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,480
I'm like, what did they tell you
to do? 

588
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,240
Like well they didn't. 
They just, they're like, I just 

589
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,360
go in there and they just keep 
telling me to reduce stress. 

590
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,080
I think the way that you reduce 
stress is you schedule things 

591
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,360
that you love to do and that you
get lost in. 

592
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,560
You know, like when you're a kid
and you get totally lost and 

593
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,600
absorbed. 
Like like my 4 year old daughter

594
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,440
is all day. 
She's unaware of anything. 

595
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,600
Do that playing, playing. 
That's what it is. 

596
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,640
I mean, it's a single greatest 
thing you can do to reset your 

597
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,800
cortisol. 
Yeah, you know, and John and I, 

598
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,000
there's an Italian tradition 
called pasi jarre, which means 

599
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,680
after you eat, you walk. 
And they say if you walk within 

600
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,760
45 minutes of eating, it just 
helps with everything. 

601
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,080
True. 
And so I mean, we just walk down

602
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,240
and go see the grandbabies like 
last, last night was raining and

603
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,480
John was like, we can't do the 
passenger thing. 

604
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,120
I said, are you trying to say 
pasi jarre? 

605
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,320
And he was like, yes, you know, 
he's like we, we want, let's 

606
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,000
say, because it's a passage like
you walk and, and too many we 

607
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,120
know Americans do not walk 
enough. 

608
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,560
And so walking. 
And then you're saying one 

609
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,880
minute, like we all, we all 
could do the one minute 

610
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,200
breathing. 
If if we know that and the 

611
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,800
reducing of stress. 
I don't think people play 

612
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,720
enough. 
And, and I'm very concerned even

613
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,760
even if I get a chance to to 
watch my grandkids, I don't 

614
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,360
believe screens are playing. 
I believe screens are watching 

615
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,520
somebody else play. 
And so you're not engaged. 

616
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,960
And what I learned a long time 
ago when, when I was visiting 

617
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,000
the different places where they 
had rescued children out of 

618
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,480
trafficking, they said the 
problem with these children is 

619
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,640
they've never gotten to play. 
And I said, all right, what does

620
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,200
that look like? 
And they said, well, if you 

621
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,240
don't play, you don't discover 
what you're called to do. 

622
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,800
They said, all of us discover 
what we're called to do through 

623
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,120
play, not through education, but
through play. 

624
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,600
And she said they missed that 
component. 

625
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,880
And so it becomes so difficult 
that we have to re, we have to 

626
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,240
reinforce permission for them to
play. 

627
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,720
And so literally we had our 
grandkids and, and we John, John

628
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,320
has a golf cart, which he, you 
would think he is a Lamborghini.

629
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,720
I mean, he is so excited about 
his golf cart. 

630
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,280
And some of the grandkids had 
had phones on the golf cart. 

631
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,960
And I said, give me all the 
funds. 

632
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,720
I said you were going to be in 
the wonder of this moment. 

633
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,720
You were going to have the wind 
in your hair. 

634
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,760
You're going to look at the 
lights, you're going to look at 

635
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,440
the houses. 
You're going, you're going to 

636
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,240
feel all of this. 
You are not going to be looking 

637
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,640
at a phone. 
And you know, I'm thankful that 

638
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,760
I was not raised with that. 
But I also, you know, I want to 

639
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,800
give and I've been saying this 
to the mothers. 

640
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:34,080
And I, I want you to reiterate, 
however, is I understand having 

641
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,880
your kids do screen time gives 
you a break. 

642
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,800
It gives you a break and it's 
easy because they have screen 

643
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,800
time, but you are robbing their 
imagination and you are robbing 

644
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,960
their creativity and it's going 
to come back to haunt you later.

645
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,880
And so I really want moms to 
know that they have the right, 

646
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,560
maybe their kids have had a lot 
of screen time or maybe their 

647
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,080
kids have had a a lot of 
playing, you know, games. 

648
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,640
I would tell my boys I'm like, 
they didn't like it. 

649
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,000
But I would tell my boys, it 
creates an aggression in you 

650
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,560
that you do not have a physical 
release for. 

651
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,040
And I said it will make you 
tense. 

652
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:17,120
And right now we have young men 
who are engaged in virtual 

653
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,120
living, whether it is games or 
whether it is sex, they are 

654
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,840
virtually engaged and 
disengaged. 

655
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,840
And even women are becoming more
and more that way, whether they 

656
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,920
might not be doing virtual 
games, but they're going to be 

657
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,680
on social media. 
They're not going to be they're 

658
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,920
like always learning and and 
never coming into the freedom or

659
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,520
the knowledge of the application
of what they're learning. 

660
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:45,080
And so talk to that young mom 
who is super excited about RFK. 

661
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,000
She's going to go through her 
whole pantry, but she's got a 

662
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,320
child that doesn't know how to 
play. 

663
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,240
What would you say to her? 
Yeah, Well, I I would say one, 

664
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,600
children want parameters, they 
want discipline. 

665
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,400
And I think you really want to 
just have a plan. 

666
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,720
I mean, Chelsea and I talked 
about this recently, hey, we 

667
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,720
need to be on the same page on 
what you say, what I say, let's 

668
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,160
create these parameters and we 
find our daughter, just our 

669
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,760
daughter. 
They they just thrive under 

670
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,520
discipline, under knowing, Hey, 
here's where the line is. 

671
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,440
We're not going past it. 
Hey, we're going to do pick a 

672
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,600
number. 
I don't know the average Gen. 

673
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,640
Z is doing 10 hours a day, but 
let's say it's two hours a day. 

674
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,600
You have screen time, total full
time job. 

675
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,080
Well, if you count TV, computer 
and cell phone, the average, 

676
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,520
it's close to 10 hours. 
So it's wild. 

677
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,160
But when you look at that, it's 
like, well, let's pick it's two 

678
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,680
hours. 
It's these exact times, there's 

679
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,840
exact parameters and you need to
spend so much time outside a 

680
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,160
day. 
And so, yeah, it just it that 

681
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,840
and it creates freedom, it 
creates ease for them. 

682
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,960
Like actually there's a level of
anxiety of not knowing how much 

683
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,240
can I do? 
How much can I get away with? 

684
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,400
How, how far can I push this? 
If you, if they know it's two 

685
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,120
hours, it's 30 minutes here, 
it's one hour here, it's 30 

686
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,000
minutes here or, or whatever you
decide again, what any you know,

687
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,640
but I do think that that's, and 
I, I want to mention this too, 

688
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,600
almost anything artificial is 
taking away from the real. 

689
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,760
And almost anything artificial 
will make you sick long term. 

690
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,360
Artificial dyes, artificial 
sweeteners, artificial, you 

691
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,239
know, whatever it is, artificial
light, artificial set 

692
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,320
pornography. 
I mean, anything artificial for 

693
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,440
the most part is making you sick
and taking it away from the real

694
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,320
thing. 
And so that's something else. 

695
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,920
I don't think people really 
think about Lisa, because that 

696
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,920
was such a good point. 
I wasn't necessarily thinking 

697
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,840
about that until you said it 
was. 

698
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,880
You're taking away from real 
play, growth, development, all 

699
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,560
of those things that are just so
important. 

700
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,360
Yeah, I know you guys have done 
very intentional with Azariah 

701
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,000
because Azariah has his 
grandfather wrapped her on his 

702
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,000
finger. 
And so he's really good. 

703
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,600
He's he's not quite three. 
He's like 2 1/2. 

704
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,960
He'll play forever. 
And but John will say, do you 

705
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:04,120
want to see videos of airplanes?
And it feels really harmless. 

706
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,560
But every time he comes over 
now, he's like airplanes, 

707
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,680
airplane. 
You're the one, You're the one, 

708
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,200
you're the one that I come and 
watch 100 airplanes take off. 

709
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,760
And so, you know, we, we want 
him to, to pretend about 

710
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,000
airplanes and they'll be, 
they'll be enough life that he 

711
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,840
will see actual ones. 
But he's 2 1/2 right now. 

712
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,280
You know, I, I had an 
opportunity, this was this is in

713
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,400
2010 to work with the Olympic 
swimming team. 

714
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,800
And I was able to kind of look 
in the mind of the way that some

715
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,360
of them were thinking. 
They had this the most of those 

716
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,840
swimmers have this mindset of 
like they would always come up 

717
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,440
to me before and after and asked
me they'd say, hey, like, what 

718
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,600
do I need to eat right after I 
work out? 

719
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,840
What do I need to do before? 
Like they were obsessed with 

720
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,640
like, what do I got to do to 
like perform. 

721
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,520
Wow. 
And I think if we would sort of 

722
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:56,080
adopt that same Olympic mindset 
in terms of not what can what am

723
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,680
I going to let my kid get away 
with? 

724
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,920
But now what would the ideal day
in the ideal training, the ideal

725
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,960
shows that my kids would look 
like Chelsea. 

726
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,840
And I recently had to shift a 
little bit because I'll give you

727
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,640
an example of this. 
Like there's a show and it seems

728
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,880
harmless. 
It's called Peppa Pig, OK. 

729
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,480
And it's it's a harmless. 
Well, it's not harmless. 

730
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,280
It's a show where all of a 
sudden, like we noticed Arwen 

731
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,400
like doing little things, being 
discipled or modeling the the 

732
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,440
characters in there. 
And we're like, OK, these aren't

733
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,200
bad, but they're not godly. 
They're not the best they could 

734
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,760
be. 
So I think we, we we became a 

735
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,320
lot more conscious of what are 
the shows that our daughter 

736
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,040
could watch, the top three in 
ranking order that allow her to 

737
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,440
get to where the best she could 
be. 

738
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,320
Now she didn't for a while ask, 
what can I watch this? 

739
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,960
We're like, no, you can't watch 
that anymore. 

740
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,120
We're now watching this. 
But yeah, I think that mindset's

741
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,360
health and that this is helpful 
for everybody because most 

742
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,480
people, you know, the most 
common questions I get are what 

743
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,080
can I get away with? 
How much coffee can I drink? 

744
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,280
How much, you know, can I do 
this sweetener instead of 

745
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,040
versus, you know, what are the 
absolute best things I could be 

746
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,280
to. 
Now listen, we want you to 

747
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,720
satisfy your sweet tooth and I 
think you know but. 

748
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,480
There's some kind of healthy 
ways to do that. 

749
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
All right, so let's talk about 

750
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,280
that. 
You've got you've got people 

751
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,560
that are addicted to sugar, 
you've got ADHD, you've got ADD.

752
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,800
How much of some of those things
can be changed by diet? 

753
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:26,280
Well, you know, I saw a study 
recently saying when they 

754
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,200
switched kids diets, basically 
just got them off sugar and seed

755
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,720
oils. 
It's like it was like 70 some 

756
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:36,680
percent of kids did not have the
the diagnosis anymore. 

757
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:42,000
Now I do want to say with ADHDI 
do think part of that diagnosis 

758
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,840
is not fair or right from the 
standpoint of do I think that 

759
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,120
for myself? 
By the way, I was the kid that 

760
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,280
was diagnosed with ADHDI got 
prescribed Ritalin when I was 

761
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,760
in, in younger Adderall in 
college. 

762
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,760
And I actually never took it, 
but I got prescribed it. 

763
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,800
And I actually remember like I, 
I had a little bit of this thing

764
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,520
in high school where I thought 
I'm not smart because I went in 

765
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,800
to go see this, this, this 
doctor and he told my mom and 

766
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,520
I'm sitting next to him, but he 
acted like I wasn't there. 

767
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,400
And he said, your son has a 
learning disorder, you know, and

768
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,240
he's going to have trouble 
learning because of this and 

769
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:16,760
whatever. 
And so I thought to myself, 

770
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,960
well, I'm like medically not 
smart. 

771
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,800
I've got a problem because I 
can't pay attention. 

772
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:26,400
So it made it worse. 
But do I think that, you know, 8

773
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,960
year old boys, 10 year old boys 
were meant to sit in a school 

774
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,080
for 8 hours straight and not so,
so I think part of it is that 

775
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,920
diagnosis is, is just, that's 
not the way that boys are wired.

776
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,440
Now I will say. 
Only males that get diagnosed 

777
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,000
because I think it. 
Is it's 90%? 

778
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,400
Yeah, I was going to say because
what I understood is an 

779
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:51,560
educational system is set up and
tailored towards female learning

780
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,080
and not male learning. 
So the men are having, they're 

781
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,840
not getting to have physical 
interaction with stuff. 

782
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,680
And some guys do OK with that, 
but other ones have a really, 

783
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,040
really rough time and struggle 
with that, and then they want to

784
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,600
medicate them. 
Especially young. 

785
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,960
Yeah, well, this is, this would 
be kind of a separate topic, but

786
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,840
I think that, you know, women 
even in terms of the word in 

787
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,120
Hebrew versus male, like women 
are internal. 

788
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,160
They're looking at inside the 
home inside, like it's all the 

789
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,280
reproductive organs, like every 
it's internal males, it's 

790
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,240
external. 
And so I think that if men are 

791
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:25,800
not outside, if they're not 
doing some of those things in a 

792
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,800
way it's making them sick or 
it's not allowing them to grow 

793
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,240
and develop to what they should 
be. 

794
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:32,760
So I definitely agree that our 
system is definitely even worse 

795
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,240
for boys than it is for girls. 
I mean, I was looking at 

796
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:37,760
something recently like there 
are. 

797
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,800
Yeah. 
Anyway, so I was just going to 

798
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,480
get off on a tangent, but it's 
just it's very much so. 

799
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,400
So when I had ADHD and I 
switched my diet because I 

800
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,880
started really learning a lot in
college, I was able to focus 

801
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,240
better. 
There's no doubt about it. 

802
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:56,840
I mean, it was pretty 
substantial, my ability to 

803
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,360
focus. 
And so when I tend to have 

804
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,400
anyone come in with a DHDI found
if I remove the sugar and the 

805
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,120
stimulants like food dies and in
caffeine and if I can get them 

806
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,160
on. 
More omega-3 fatty acids, if I 

807
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,440
can get them on higher protein, 
make sure we're getting more B 

808
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,400
vitamins in those things in it, 
it'll get 75% better. 

809
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,480
But again, so, so, so I've 
reversed almost every ADHD case 

810
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,440
I've ever had. 
But you cannot fix stuffing 

811
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,040
somebody in a room for 8 hours a
day when when male especially 

812
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,680
boys, but girls too. 
But boys even more you they 

813
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,400
there has to be an energy 
release. 

814
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,000
Yeah, because then they come 
home from school and they're 

815
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,680
doing homework. 
And so it's like they like when 

816
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,200
I came home from school, we were
free. 

817
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,760
Like we ran home. 
Yeah, free. 

818
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,280
We're free and we are free at 
about 3:15 and only time we 

819
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,440
weren't free is if we had after 
school sports there is very low 

820
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,160
maybe 1/2 an hour of homework, 
maybe an hour but not what the 

821
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,680
kids are having now. 
There's so much after school. 

822
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,360
OK, so now when you are talking,
I know that you went through 

823
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,080
recently A, a medical challenge.
I mean, we prayed for you guys. 

824
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,880
No, absolutely you've been a 
gift in our lives and I know 

825
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,280
that we prayed and and like, 
what did you learn on that 

826
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,640
journey? 
Because I know that you've you 

827
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,800
like you were healthy, you're 
focused, you know everything. 

828
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:21,680
What? 
What happened? 

829
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:26,160
Yes, it's about 3 years ago I 
went in for I'd caught a minor 

830
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,800
medical procedure. 
I'd actually injured my back a 

831
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,120
few years before lifting 
weights. 

832
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,320
I'd, I'd herniated 2 discs in my
low back. 

833
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,640
And ever since then I just had 
some pain and even, and I done 

834
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,960
it a lot, exercises, 
chiropractic, acupuncture, 

835
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,680
physical therapy, nutrition, I 
mean a lot. 

836
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,240
And it still was not totally 
better. 

837
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:48,840
I went in and got stem cell 
therapy, which is where you take

838
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,200
your own bone marrow and 
concentrate your own stem cells 

839
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,520
and get it reinjected in the 
area. 

840
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,000
And I saw like a 50 to 70% 
improvement. 

841
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,160
I mean, it was really 
significant. 

842
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,000
I got it done one more time and 
felt like I was back to maybe 

843
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,680
8590%. 
That's why I thought, I bet if 

844
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,720
I, I'm going to, I'm going to 
get one done one more time. 

845
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:06,720
I bet that'll get me from that 
90 to 100%. 

846
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:08,880
Because I just had this ache 
that was sort of constant. 

847
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:15,160
And when I went in this time, 
something went wrong and I felt 

848
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,280
worse and worse and worse after 
the procedure. 

849
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:20,480
And, but I just thought, well, 
maybe I'd injured at doing 

850
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,720
something. 
And then a couple months later, 

851
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,680
I couldn't walk. 
And we were in Puerto Rico at 

852
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,040
the time. 
And so I woke up one more, I 

853
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,600
couldn't walk and I thought, 
well, give it another week. 

854
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,200
I'm going to move. 
You know, I might have just re 

855
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,400
injured myself doing something. 
Well, finally I'm like, this is 

856
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,280
just not right. 
I had to call an ambulance, came

857
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,360
pick me up, put me on a 
stretcher, brought me to the 

858
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,120
hospital, got an MRI. 
This is and I did have an MRI 

859
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:42,480
before. 
I wasn't being careless. 

860
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,120
It didn't show anything. 
Well, this time the report came 

861
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,920
back as I had an infection in my
disk and it moved into my bone 

862
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,800
and had an Abscess growing in my
spinal cord of the infection. 

863
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,480
So I had to take a medical 
flight. 

864
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,840
And this is something like out 
of a movie like ambulance, come 

865
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,760
get me on a Gurney stretcher 
like out of broken neck, get put

866
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,040
me on a on a jet float, fly to 
Florida. 

867
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,600
I met with an infectious disease
specialist there and he said, 

868
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,520
Josh, I want to tell you what's 
going on here. 

869
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,000
You have a really serious 
infection. 

870
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,840
This could kill you. 
In all likelihood you could be 

871
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,680
permanently disabled from this. 
He said at the very best, you're

872
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,520
going to have chronic pain every
day and you'll be the first 

873
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,840
person to know when bad weather 
comes through, in his exact 

874
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,160
words. 
And so I went from doing 

875
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,680
triathlons, squatting, dead 
lifting, throwing my daughter, 

876
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:31,760
you know, seven years, 7 feet in
the pool in the air, to then 

877
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,480
being told you could be probably
disabled, we may have to put 

878
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,000
rods in your spot and a number 
of things. 

879
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:40,040
And this was about now about, 
yeah, just maybe it's about 2 

880
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,800
1/2 years ago. 
And I felt like my life was over

881
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,880
for like 48 hours. 
I was so distraught. 

882
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,720
And then finally I just in time 
and prayer, I just feel like God

883
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:52,280
was like, listen, I've got this,
you're going to be healed. 

884
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,160
Just walk with me is what I 
heard. 

885
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,760
Just walk with me. 
And I said, OK, and, and so I 

886
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,560
decided, you know, I'm just 
going to do everything I can. 

887
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,760
I'm not going to worry about it.
I'm just going to focus on the 

888
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,400
great physician and the the the 
the doctor was recommending me 

889
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,920
get on antibiotics for three 
months straight of an IV and I 

890
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,680
was worried about my gut. 
I was even worried more worried 

891
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,400
about my spine, though. 
So I thought, OK, well, I'm 

892
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,920
going to not be foolish here. 
I understand I'm going to need 

893
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,560
to do antibiotics. 
However, I'd read a study that 

894
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,400
if you get in a hyperbaric 
chamber every day, you can cut 

895
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,480
down the time to one month from 
three. 

896
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
So I went and got in a hard 
hyperbaric chamber. 

897
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,720
I had literally a medical van 
pick me up every day, put me on 

898
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:32,560
a cot, get put in there because 
my disk pain was so bad. 

899
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,280
I literally couldn't even, I 
could barely roll on my side. 

900
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,200
It was so bad. 
I mean, it was like if you had 

901
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,040
to, but imagine you had like it 
was swollen and, and if you've 

902
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,040
ever had nerve pain, it's a 
different type of pain. 

903
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,800
And so I did that every day. 
I got Ivs every day for a few 

904
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:52,000
hours of like methylene blue and
jet and silver and ozone, all 

905
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,120
kinds of stuff. 
And, and after two weeks, I 

906
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,760
started feeling a little better 
and then a little better, a 

907
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,240
little better. 
However, discs heal very slow. 

908
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,240
I didn't walk for one year. 
Wow, I didn't know it was that. 

909
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:06,920
Long yeah. 
And I was important. 

910
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:08,080
Now we were in Puerto Rico at 
the time. 

911
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,320
We lived there from Nashville 
and now we're back full time in 

912
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,160
Nashville. 
But we we lived there, yeah. 

913
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,800
It was a full year. 
And now I'd say I'm probably 

914
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,280
maybe ninety 8590% and about. 
And I don't have chronic pain 

915
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,760
every day. 
I'm way better than the doctor 

916
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,160
told me I would be. 
I can carry my daughter. 

917
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,160
I was just, you know, lifting 
weights, I'm swimming, I'm 

918
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,320
cycling, I'm doing all these 
things and I think I'll be at 

919
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,240
100% here and by the end of this
year. 

920
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:32,280
So, so I, it is an incredible 
healing miracle. 

921
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,880
God is so, so faithful. 
But I did learn a lot and God 

922
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,480
always does this. 
You know, it's like my mom. 

923
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,360
I, I would have never thought 
when I was a kid, I would look 

924
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,800
back and say, I'm grateful my 
mom had cancer. 

925
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,720
But my mom would tell you today,
and I can tell you only because 

926
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:49,400
she says that she's grateful she
had cancer. 

927
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,840
She's like, it brought me close 
to your dad. 

928
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,360
It brought me closer to God. 
Like my mom helps women now that

929
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,080
have breast cancer, teach them, 
teaches them how to make green 

930
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,960
smoothies and gives advice all 
the time. 

931
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,760
And so, you know, and This is 
why we're starting this 

932
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,960
longevity, it's going to be 
called the longevity clubbing 

933
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,960
clinic. 
It's a longevity in cellular 

934
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,680
medicine. 
In our building, we're so 

935
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,680
excited. 
Here in Nashville, so so we're 

936
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,520
super excited to be opening that
up so I can help people heal. 

937
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,920
We're going to really focus on 
hormone balance in women, 

938
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,840
hypothyroid, Hashimoto's, 
infertility. 

939
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,680
We're going to do a lot with 
type 2 diabetes, a lot with 

940
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,560
chronic infections like long 
COVID and and lime and mold. 

941
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,480
And so, and I do again have a 
virtual practice where we help 

942
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,600
people with the diet side, but 
we will also have all of those 

943
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,240
really cutting edge treatments 
here to do that. 

944
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:40,480
But you know, it's that thing. 
God uses all things for good. 

945
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,040
Right, you know, I, I do believe
that sometimes he will bring a 

946
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,040
struggle so that it strengthens 
us. 

947
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,960
And we are talking early on 
another podcast today that we as

948
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,800
Americans, we just tend to say, 
I want this fixed. 

949
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,720
What I do wrong? 
I got to make it right instead 

950
00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:59,680
of actually taking a deeper look
of how did this start? 

951
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,240
You know, I, I need to say what,
what can I learn from this? 

952
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:08,040
Because I, I personally feel 
anytime I don't learn from it, I

953
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,080
repeat the lesson and I've 
learned the retests are always 

954
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,040
harder than the original test. 
I'm like, I, I want to learn 

955
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:15,960
this the first time. 
I want to learn this the first 

956
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,920
time. 
And I love that more and more 

957
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:25,040
people are realizing that we are
spirit, soul and body, that this

958
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:29,960
all needs to, to be In Sync with
one another and that we need to 

959
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,720
go outside. 
I love that you said that, that 

960
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:36,160
we need to be connected to God 
and connected to community. 

961
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:41,600
I do feel like one of the most 
devastating health things during

962
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,440
COVID was the isolation. 
I think people lost their minds 

963
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,880
and during, I mean, they're just
looking at social media post 

964
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,000
constant negativity, constant 
fear, constant the world's going

965
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,600
to hell in a handbag, you know, 
like what's going on? 

966
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,600
And they just fed themselves a 
diet of constant stress. 

967
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,960
So I feel like for the first 
time, it feels like our country 

968
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,800
has some hope. 
Yeah, yeah, agreed. 

969
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:11,800
Can can I tell you what's so 
interesting that there is a 

970
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,720
there's a Harvard study and it's
a long term study. 

971
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:16,760
It's a 90 year study. 
You know, the number one factor 

972
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,560
of somebody living a long 
healthy life is their community.

973
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,920
It was the number one. 
It wasn't diet, it wasn't, it 

974
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,200
was literally do you have strong
family friend support group 

975
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,960
around you? 
It's why we moved. 

976
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,920
Yeah, we love having you here. 
We, we actually moved, John and 

977
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:40,160
I said we, we, we feel like we 
are so isolated and we need to 

978
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:44,520
actually have community and 
friends and contribution and 

979
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,160
voices and confrontation. 
And it was, it was huge for us. 

980
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,560
And I don't know if you know 
this, but I've got the bonus 

981
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,680
that I live down the street from
six of our nine grandkids. 

982
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,160
So I have a 32nd bike ride or 
about 5 minute three to three to

983
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,560
five minute walk when my husband
and I want to go out. 

984
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,440
And I feel like that has been so
healthy for John and I. 

985
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,000
And I, I want to think it's 
healthy for my grandkids to be 

986
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,760
near John and I and, you know, 
and for us to see them in all 

987
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,520
their different stages. 
And I can babysit because I 

988
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,480
think more and more now it's 
hard for people to have to find 

989
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,000
people that can feel confident 
with their children. 

990
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,360
But it's actually very 
therapeutic for me as a 

991
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,920
grandmother to have my grandkids
around. 

992
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,320
You know it and it's play for me
and it feels so important. 

993
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,400
Well, I feel like there's been 
so much that you have just done 

994
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,160
a deep dive in and I know that 
you've got your clinic opening 

995
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,040
and you've, you've just recently
written a book. 

996
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,680
Can you talk about that for a 
second? 

997
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,840
Yeah, yeah. 
The books called Think This Not 

998
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,560
That. 
And it really goes goes into 

999
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,720
what I call mindset medicine. 
You know, that there are some 

1000
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:53,160
really powerful studies about 
how do you heal with your mind 

1001
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:54,840
and your spirit. 
And I think I'd be part of that,

1002
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,880
you know, so, so this is what 
was interesting in one of the 

1003
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,960
studies I read is that, well, 
let me go back to this. 

1004
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:03,560
The placebo effect started back 
in, in terms of the common 

1005
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:09,120
Western idea that in World War 2
when there were there was a 

1006
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,200
practicing physician and a nurse
and men were just having 

1007
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,960
obviously terrible losing limbs,
I mean, major pain and they were

1008
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,520
giving them morphine. 
That was the drug they were 

1009
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,120
giving them. 
They ran out of morphine. 

1010
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:26,240
And so the doctor said, told the
nurse, he said, listen, we've 

1011
00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:27,680
got to give these soldiers 
something. 

1012
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,840
So she started filling up 
syringes with salt water, like 

1013
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,640
saline solution, started 
injecting it with him. 

1014
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,680
And the thing that was blowing 
the doctor's mind was like 40% 

1015
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,840
of them, nearly half of them 
were experiencing the same level

1016
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,280
of pain relief from that. 
Then they were morphine. 

1017
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,520
Now think about that. 
Your body can create chemicals 

1018
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:50,680
that powerful that it can. 
So it's, it's so I started 

1019
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,040
seeing this in patients and 
seeing the results when people 

1020
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,160
when I gave them hope, right? 
And so this is a biblical 

1021
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,600
principle, give someone hope. 
And in also the power 

1022
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,080
visualization. 
And so when, when, if you want 

1023
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,000
to amplify the placebo effect 
and you healing, you need to be 

1024
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,280
able to as crystal clear as you 
can picture what you want. 

1025
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,880
Here's what I want. 
Like, so for myself, I pictured 

1026
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,160
myself cycling. 
I picture myself playing with my

1027
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,080
2 year old, throwing her in the 
air in the pool. 

1028
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,880
So I knew that's what I want. 
I could see it very clearly. 

1029
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,720
That's one thing to amplify the 
placebo effect. 

1030
00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:23,320
The second thing is feeling that
emotion now and believe like 

1031
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,640
feeling emotionally now. 
Like what is that sense of 

1032
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,640
excitement and joy that I'll 
feel then? 

1033
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:28,920
And I'm going to actually feel 
that now. 

1034
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,480
And the third thing is this have
a plan of how you're going to 

1035
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,360
work that out because sometimes 
your brain doesn't believe you. 

1036
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,240
You're like, everything's 
perfect, everything's wonderful.

1037
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:39,440
I'm going to be here. 
No, it's. 

1038
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,680
Not exactly and if you can say 
to yourself the here's my plan 

1039
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,120
or no, I know God is that good 
and he will or he's always 

1040
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,520
faithful. 
Those things of helping convince

1041
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,680
yourself, yes, this is how it'll
happen logically and here's the 

1042
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,680
faith of knowing God is good 
that also amplifies it. 

1043
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:04,000
And so in the book I really get 
into here's how to overcome 

1044
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,480
limiting beliefs and here's how 
to experience breakthrough in 

1045
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,880
your life and see the books 
called think this not that is a 

1046
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,680
New York Times bestseller. 
Did you know That's so amazing 

1047
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:14,000
did great, but it was really the
first book. 

1048
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,160
Every other book I've written on
nutrition, this is really more 

1049
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,520
on, you know, the healing power 
of of mindset. 

1050
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,400
Well, and I love because you've 
always merged scripture and 

1051
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,240
faith and got into it and 
there's a lot of new age 

1052
00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:28,440
practice. 
Well, people are like, Oh, I'm 

1053
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,800
just going to manifest or I'm 
just going to think different. 

1054
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,720
And I even heard somebody, and 
I'm not saying this person does 

1055
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,720
practice this new age, but I 
heard somebody say you never say

1056
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:41,520
my sickness, my cancer, you 
know, like you don't claim it. 

1057
00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:46,360
So there are principles that God
has always had in his word that 

1058
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,800
the Christians have either 
thought, oh, that's Word of 

1059
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,240
Faith, or oh, that's new age 
that we've lost some of those 

1060
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:54,280
practices. 
I mean, I'm thinking as you're 

1061
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,120
listening about the 
visualization of seeing your 

1062
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,960
daughter laughing as you throw 
up in the air or seeing yourself

1063
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:03,200
cycling. 
It says faith is the substance 

1064
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:08,200
of things, hope for If you don't
have hope, then faith, the 

1065
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,040
substance isn't attached to 
something that's going to anchor

1066
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,800
it. 
So the hope is what you're 

1067
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,520
visualizing. 
I'm going to be strong again. 

1068
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,560
I'm going to play with my my 
children. 

1069
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,440
I'm going to love my wife 
without pain or fear. 

1070
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,680
I'm going to be strong. 
I have a dream. 

1071
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,360
I'm going to open up a clinic. 
I'm going to help other people. 

1072
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,400
That's the hope. 
And then the faith is the 

1073
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,520
substance. 
And and I think too many people 

1074
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,400
don't understand the 
relationship before, but of 

1075
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,560
those two things, they just have
faith in their speaking 

1076
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:40,600
something instead of you know, 
God actually always gives his 

1077
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,160
people visions. 
Abraham counts stars, you know, 

1078
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,560
you know, we have you're a 
mighty man of God to get in on 

1079
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,680
me. 
Whatever it is, God begins to 

1080
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,640
reframe our lives with his 
vision for us. 

1081
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,600
So I I love that you have that 
and we're going to put your your

1082
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,600
book, the notes in the book. 
You know, there's just so much 

1083
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,080
you brought, but I love that 
whole thing. 

1084
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,240
This not that is that right? 
Yeah. 

1085
00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:06,360
And I love that it was in New 
York Times because I know that's

1086
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,120
not easy to get. 
So congratulations on that. 

1087
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,000
And was Esther your age? 
Yeah, I loved that. 

1088
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,800
Yeah. 
The idea was there's an old book

1089
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,720
called Eat This, not that. 
So we wanted to sort of help 

1090
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:19,560
people think this, not that. 
So that was the the idea there. 

1091
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,880
Yeah, well, you have been an 
incredible blessing to our 

1092
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,320
family. 
Is there anything else you would

1093
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:24,600
like to ask if we didn't get 
more? 

1094
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,120
Questions there we. 
Got Yeah. 

1095
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,680
Do we have another hour? 
I mean, seed oils, vaccines, 

1096
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,000
there's so much, but I think 
this is a really great starting 

1097
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,840
place for women in all different
categories, ages, states even. 

1098
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,800
So thank you and thank you for 
what you've done for our family.

1099
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:40,440
Yeah. 
Well, thanks so much. 

1100
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,120
Well, I, I hope that you found a
wealth of information. 

1101
00:54:45,240 --> 00:54:47,480
I know Christian and I, we're 
like, wait, take notes, take 

1102
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:48,520
notes. 
And we're like, oh, we can't, 

1103
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,840
we're hosting this. 
There is so much. 

1104
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:55,120
I want you to check out Doctor 
Axe's book, Think this, not 

1105
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:56,920
that. 
And I also want you to 

1106
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,960
understand you have the right to
make some changes in your 

1107
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,720
health. 
It's shocking how responsive 

1108
00:55:05,720 --> 00:55:09,080
your body can be when you just 
say, OK, you know what? 

1109
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,040
I am worthy and I'm going to say
this to every mom out there. 

1110
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,760
I know what you do. 
I know you take care of your 

1111
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,040
children, I know you even take 
care of your husband, but you 

1112
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:23,800
are not taking care of yourself.
We need you to take care of 

1113
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,760
yourself. 
I remember doing laundry and I'd

1114
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,480
put away all the children's 
laundry, John's laundry and mine

1115
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:36,000
would stay in the basket. 
You deserve to take care of 

1116
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,320
yourself. 
If you don't take care of 

1117
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,280
yourself, then your family is 
going to be at risk and they 

1118
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:47,480
want time with you and so full 
permission Take care of yourself

1119
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,760
Mamas, don't just take care of 
your kids, take care of yourself

1120
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,000
and I believe that if you can 
rebalance. 

1121
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,800
I hope you heard what doctor Axe
said connect with God. 

1122
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,440
Connect with God. 
Too many people that make it 

1123
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,040
about rules oh, I didn't pray 
enough or didn't read my Bible 

1124
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,240
enough. 
You can connect with God, with 

1125
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:05,400
worship. 
When I had young kids, I had 

1126
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,960
worship music blaring at all 
times in my house so that there 

1127
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,440
was a constant connection with 
the wonder of God, the holiness 

1128
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,400
of God. 
And at any given moment I might 

1129
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,000
fall down on my face and start 
crying or go through the house 

1130
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,320
dancing. 
My children like, what in the 

1131
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,200
world? 
Connect with God, Connect with 

1132
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,720
community. 
Guys, social media is not 

1133
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,400
community. 
Get outside of your house, meet 

1134
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,920
people. 
There are other women out there,

1135
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:38,200
young mothers or maybe somebody 
like me that that is older and 

1136
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:43,040
says I feel like I'm just a 
treasury that nobody wants to 

1137
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,560
withdraw from. 
I'm going to tell you there's a 

1138
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,040
young girls out there and 
they're looking for an older 

1139
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,800
woman just like you to notice 
them. 

1140
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,840
Connect with community, go to 
church. 

1141
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,800
I know it's easier online. 
I know, I know, I know. 

1142
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:03,320
But go to church, look at people
and ask them how they really 

1143
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,280
are, and then connect with 
creation. 

1144
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,800
God speaks through creation. 
I love that. 

1145
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,720
We're getting ready to have 
spring soon and my favorite 

1146
00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:20,280
things to do is work outside, 
get in the garden, go for walks 

1147
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:25,120
just breathing the wonder of God
be Italian passage Daughtry go 

1148
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:29,000
for a go for a walk 45 minutes 
within you spend time with 

1149
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,240
people that you love and don't 
don't make the things that are 

1150
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,720
minor the major things in your 
life. 

1151
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,680
Who cares if your husband's 
underwear is trifolded. 

1152
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,760
Just go ahead and enjoy one 
another and I just want to give 

1153
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,720

Sicilian godmother. 

1154
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,000
