1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,760 I can't do it and I won't do it anymore. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,200 Know this episode is going to be vastly different from anything 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,960 else that I have put out on the pet parenting reset. 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,800 If you're new here, my name is Jessica. 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,200 I'm a holistic pet health coach and canine nutritionist. 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,000 And on this podcast we talk all things holistic health, not just 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,600 for your pets. I have been incorporating 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,000 holistic health practices for humans as well because 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,880 integrative health is functional. 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,680 Medicine is so incredibly important for us to remember, to 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,280 remember that nature provides that. 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,120 Even though we have destroyed a lot of nature, there's still a 13 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,000 lot of value there. And I have been boy, this 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,640 episode we're going to talk about something that I believe 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,800 is not political, that I believe is not religious. 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,200 Some people have assigned political beliefs to it. 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,200 Some people have even assigned religious beliefs to it. 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,200 I don't believe either is true. And at the end, we're also 19 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,000 going, I'm going to give you a little bit more update. 20 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,120 Talk about Kimberly, talk about sponsors for the show. 21 00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:20,600 This episode is not sponsored. This is me. 22 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,880 This is me talking because I believe that when you speak your 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,760 truth is when you really attract your tribe. 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,480 And I have done, I've done what I thought was my best for a very 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,520 long time to not rock the boat. And I'm not trying to rock the 26 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,200 boat with this podcast either. That's not the intention, but I 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,080 know that some people are going to like it and some people are 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,440 not going to like it. And I also know that when you 29 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,360 try to please everyone, you please no one. 30 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,040 And I also know that when you stand for nothing, you fall for 31 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,560 anything. And So what I want to say again, 32 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,760 I do not believe it is political to talk about science. 33 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:10,600 I do not believe it is political to believe in human rights. 34 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:17,200 I do see some political nuance. I'm I'm an in America, I'm AUS 35 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,320 citizen. This is the focus of pretty much 36 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,040 everything I talk about is what's going on with our pets, 37 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,720 like what we have access to what's going on in the news in 38 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,680 the US with our pets, what we can do here because I'm just not 39 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,720 familiar with what is happening or what's available in the rest 40 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,960 of the world. So to be in the United States, 41 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,920 to have been born and raised here, I get to have this podcast 42 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,040 and I get to bring you some really incredible guests because 43 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,040 we are supposed to have free speech in America. 44 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,760 And so that, yes, that's political, but I won't apologize 45 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:06,760 for talking about free speech because I believe it is worth 46 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,480 fighting for. And I think especially in the 47 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,480 past five years, that is exactly what we have been doing is 48 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,880 fighting for our continued right to free speech against. 49 00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:24,160 And for me, free speech, meaning we can say as American citizens 50 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:30,160 whatever we want without fear of persecution from the government. 51 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:37,720 And we have seen that no longer be true in some cases in the 52 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,560 past five years. And I only get to do this 53 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,920 podcast because we have free speech, because we are supposed 54 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,720 to have free speech. And a lot of the things that I 55 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,560 say and that guests I have had on this podcast have said would 56 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,240 absolutely be something that would be that's that I have seen 57 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,600 people in the United States, I have seen American citizens be 58 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,720 silenced indirectly and sometimes directly by our 59 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,400 government in the past five years. 60 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,120 And so, no, I don't intend this to be a political episode 61 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,160 whatsoever. I do believe people have 62 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,560 politicized science, especially in the past five years, that 63 00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:27,800 they've made science into a religion. 64 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:30,040 I'm not the only one that believes that. 65 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:38,240 I think it is kind of obvious if we step back and try to take an 66 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120 unbiased look at what has been going on. 67 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:53,720 What I do know is that I have been surprisingly sad and shaken 68 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680 by what happened on September 10th in Utah. 69 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,480 I didn't know the man that was killed. 70 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,280 I did follow him. I listened to full episodes. 71 00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:07,720 I listened to full speeches. And while I may not have agreed 72 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:14,120 with 100% of everything he said, I do believe he had the right to 73 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,720 say it. And I also try my best when I 74 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,960 can to listen to views and opinions that are different than 75 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,840 mine, especially because I feel a huge sense of responsibility 76 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,960 to bring you, the pet parent listening or watching this 77 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,360 episode of this podcast, the best information I possibly can. 78 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,440 I am absolutely open to changing my views and opinions when I 79 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,600 find something that is maybe a little contradictory to what I 80 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,600 current believe, but I see that it's true. 81 00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:00,520 But I can't do that if I close myself off into an echo chamber. 82 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,520 And I do believe this affects me in the same way that I believe 83 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,960 it affects you. Even if you don't have podcasts, 84 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,320 even if you don't have a social media platform where you share 85 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,920 this information, even if you are, you know, you feel like 86 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,280 maybe you're just a consumer of information, that's OK. 87 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,760 Like I'm so, so thankful you're here because when you consume 88 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,720 this information, I know that you take that and you do the 89 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,680 best you can to improve the, the health of your pets and 90 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,080 hopefully yourself as well. Because if we don't have our 91 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,360 health, we don't have anything else. 92 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,360 And I have just been, like I said, so incredibly sad. 93 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,760 They had to take myself off of social media for a handful of 94 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,920 days. It worked out because I was 95 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,600 packing and moving and I was really busy anyway, but I 96 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,240 actually had to take myself off of social media for a couple of 97 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,720 days. It was, it hit me really hard. 98 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:08,200 Not again, because his death is more important than others. 99 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,280 It's not. In fact, each and every single 100 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,960 time I see that something horrible has happened to 101 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:20,240 someone, I don't care who it is, feel terribly about it. 102 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,240 If you bring something horrible to me, I'm going to say it's 103 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,800 horrible. I don't care if I agreed with 104 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,720 that person or if I didn't agree with that person, but this one 105 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,560 just hit me so. And it brought me to the point 106 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,760 where I'm just not willing to silence myself. 107 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,440 I don't have any intentions of turning this into a political 108 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,520 account whatsoever, but I do know that I have held back in 109 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,600 the past. I have brought things to you the 110 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,320 best way I felt I could, but held back a little bit because I 111 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,800 did feel some fear that it wouldn't be perceived correctly. 112 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,200 And that's not fair. It's not fair to you and it's 113 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,440 not fair to me. And do I believe every single 114 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,840 thing that, for example, RFK Junior says and does? 115 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,280 No, I don't. Do I think might be the best 116 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:26,360 chance we have right now of not being completely captured by Big 117 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,200 Pharma. Yeah, I think so. 118 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,440 It may not be a perfect situation, but it's better than 119 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,640 all of the other in my opinion, options we had at the time. 120 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,880 And I know some people are going to listen to anything anybody 121 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,040 says about Charlie Kirk and say, what about this? 122 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,880 What about that? And Oh my gosh, Jimmy Kimmel 123 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,520 should have never been fired. You know what? 124 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,480 No, he should not have been fired, in my opinion. 125 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:59,680 But the reality is that to me, it's all a game. 126 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:01,480 It's all an illusion. Why? 127 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,840 Because do you know who owns the Jimmy Kimmel show? 128 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,320 Disney. Do you know who owns Disney? 129 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,360 Black Street, Vanguard? BlackRock. 130 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,600 Do you know what Black Street Vanguard and BlackRock also own? 131 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,800 Pfizer and Moderna. So five years ago, when Jimmy 132 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:27,920 Kimmel was telling untruths about the COVID jab and the 133 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,560 COVID virus, Pfizer and Moderna, we're totally fine with 134 00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:33,400 everything he said. Now they're not. 135 00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:35,160 And you know what? That's OK. 136 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,560 They're private. They're I have. 137 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:38,520 No, I didn't watch the Jimmy Kimmel show. 138 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,560 I do believe he's a hypocrite because he was very happy for 139 00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,440 Roseanne Barr getting removed from her show for doing 140 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,480 basically the exact same thing, stating her opinion and people 141 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,080 believing it was vile. I'm not saying that I agree with 142 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,200 either one of them do believe in free speech. 143 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,040 However, a company doesn't have to pay you to say that speech. 144 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,920 So I'm not mad that he was fired, but I don't think it was 145 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,240 right because I do believe that we should continue to have free 146 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,480 speech. But again, the bigger picture 147 00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:17,440 sure is that it's all a game. We are all being played. 148 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,720 And until you take a 10,000 foot view of what is actually 149 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,800 happening, that it's all the same handful of companies that 150 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,560 own everything. Because you know what? 151 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,560 Black Street Vanguard and BlackRock own both Fox and CNN 152 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:38,720 as well. So they're taking the exact same 153 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,800 information and spinning it for the audience that they have a 154 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,040 preference for that they are getting their views from. 155 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,200 We're not getting real news, we're getting opinions. 156 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,080 Often times we have to really be discerning. 157 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,960 And I'm not saying I'm not guilty. 158 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,760 I absolutely give you my opinions and I tell you they're 159 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,320 my opinions when I give them to you. 160 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,040 I also try to be as factual as possible and when I'm wrong I 161 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,160 come and tell you I'm wrong. I try to and I feel horrible 162 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,800 about it when I do. I know. 163 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,800 I remember it happening with the H5 N one with A with highly 164 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,320 pathogenic avian influenza when the CDC had conflicting 165 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,960 information on their website. And I brought you one piece of 166 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,840 it, having not seen the other. And I had a friend and colleague 167 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,680 reach out to me and say that's not what the CDC says. 168 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:36,640 And I showed her where I found on the CDC's website what I 169 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,400 said. And she showed me on the CDC's 170 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,640 website what she found, which was conflicting information. 171 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,360 And I came back to you that same week and I said, Oh my gosh, I 172 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,000 feel so horrible. I am so sorry that the CDC has 173 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,920 both pieces of information on their website. 174 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,560 That's not the kind of society we live in. 175 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:55,000 It's like we're wrong about something, we find out we're 176 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,240 wrong about something and we dig in harder. 177 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,760 And that is so frustrating. And I have felt all of the 178 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,720 emotions. I am sad and I am angry and I am 179 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,960 frustrated and I am hurt and I am overwhelmed and I am, in some 180 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,160 instances, happy sometimes. And especially when I see people 181 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:20,320 coming together, it's absolutely horrible in my opinion. 182 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920 You know, he was a son and a brother and a father and a 183 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,760 husband. And there are so many people 184 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,560 that are affected by his death. And it's not not just him. 185 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,120 Again, there are so many horrible things happening to so 186 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,120 many people around the world. And I'm not downplaying any of 187 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,640 them. They're all horrible. 188 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:45,000 I just simultaneously feel disgust because there are people 189 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,840 celebrating that he was killed, and I at the same time feel so 190 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,200 much hope because there's so much unity in another group of 191 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,440 people. But what I'm most concerned 192 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,960 about is the fact that we're othering each other. 193 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:04,360 That if you believe one thing, then you're different from me. 194 00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:09,040 And if you're different from me, then I can be cruel to you, even 195 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,480 violent to you, and it's justified. 196 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:16,600 And that is not OK. I realize that this could fall a 197 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,440 couple of different ways for you. 198 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,720 Because when I think about people who care as much as I 199 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,840 care about my animals as much as I care about your animals, 200 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,600 traditionally that seems to be a liberal value. 201 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:37,000 But also lately, freedom of speech, freedom to choose to not 202 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,840 be mandated into experimental medical treatments has been a 203 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,200 more conservative value. So I don't know where you stand 204 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,400 politically. And honestly, it doesn't matter 205 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,400 to me where you stand politically. 206 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,200 If you care about your pet, if you care about your health, if 207 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,160 you care about medical freedom, I not only want to stand beside 208 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,120 you, but I want to speak for you with the platform that I have. 209 00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:07,720 I don't care what your political views are or what your religious 210 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,240 views are. To me, freedom, a bodily 211 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,040 autonomy for you and for the pets you care for is a right in 212 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,600 our country, should be a right around the world. 213 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,080 And so it's such a blurry line between what's political and 214 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,600 what's not political. What can I say and what can I 215 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,640 not say? Am I going to get cancelled? 216 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,920 Because I want to say that I believe you should have the 217 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,800 freedom to choose whether or not you put an experimental, 218 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:42,240 medical, whatever juice in your body or your pet's body. 219 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,800 I don't like. It's scary, but I'm not willing 220 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,680 to do that anymore. I'm not willing to walk on egg 221 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,120 shells, pretend I know how to walk a tightrope because I don't 222 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,800 when at the end of the day, all I care about is that I'm 223 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,280 bringing you the best information that I can possibly 224 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:09,000 bring to you and that I have. I'm so blessed to live in a 225 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,960 place that allows me the freedom to do that or has in the past 226 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,840 allowed me the freedom to do that. 227 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,080 And it isn't a left versus right issue because guess what? 228 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,280 The quote UN quote, conservative Republicans that are in office 229 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,520 right now are saying some really crazy fascist things right now. 230 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,960 That that I only heard a handful of years ago from what I 231 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:38,880 believed were the liberal left people saying is not a left 232 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,240 versus right issue. It's a good versus evil issue. 233 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,200 There's both good and evil on both sides of the political 234 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,240 aisle. This isn't a racial issue in my 235 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,600 opinion, though I do believe that there are lots of people 236 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,320 and lots of reasons that high-powered. 237 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,840 I don't even want to be a conspiracy theorist here, but I 238 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,160 do believe that there are people out there that do perpetuate 239 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,720 racist talk and belief and thinking not only in our country 240 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,600 but throughout the world. We just happen in our country 241 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,200 to, to view racism 1 singular way. 242 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,960 When I think if we look globally, there's a lot of 243 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,760 different ways to view racism through many different races, 244 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,240 not just to I do believe there are businesses, corporations in 245 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:34,840 place that benefit financially off of continued racism. 246 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,800 And I don't agree with that at all. 247 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,480 Like again, I don't see this as a left versus right issue. 248 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,840 I don't see this as one race versus another race issue. 249 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:49,240 I see all of this as a good versus evil issue at the end of 250 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,880 the day. And I'm not particularly 251 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,600 religious. I try to be spiritual and I see 252 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,360 a lot of overlap. I grew up religious and I'm I 253 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,080 don't even see myself as super political. 254 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:08,440 I only follow some politics because I actually do believe it 255 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,280 affects me and that it affects us. 256 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:15,400 And that especially when it comes to our food supply and our 257 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,240 medical system, we have got to be more involved. 258 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,040 We have got to stand up and say enough is enough. 259 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:29,320 When we look at the fact that in the 1960s and 1970s we as a 260 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,640 country in the United States were in, we were all thin and 261 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,520 beautiful and tan and you know what happened? 262 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:41,160 They put glyphosate on everything and now instead of 263 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,240 saying guess what, my body can't handle that poison that is 264 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,240 sprayed on everything. We say we have a gluten 265 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,720 intolerance. No, most of us don't. 266 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,520 We have a glyphosate intolerance. 267 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:02,760 This is so much more than a left versus right issue or one racer 268 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,720 versus another race. This is those are things put in 269 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,080 place to keep us occupied so that we don't look at the bigger 270 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,680 picture. And all I'm asking of you is to 271 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,440 look at the bigger picture. And I realize that is daunting 272 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,480 and overwhelming and it has made all kinds of things. 273 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,360 It has made me angry. It has made me determined. 274 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,280 It has made me frustrated and overwhelmed. 275 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:37,040 But it is so necessary, it is so incredibly necessary, that we 276 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,200 stop fighting with each other, that we find what we have in 277 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,080 common, which if nothing else, should be the right to live the 278 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,400 way we want to live and to let the person next to us live the 279 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,400 way they want to live, as long as we don't infringe on each 280 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,920 other's rights. Again, if I were political, I 281 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,440 would probably fall pretty far in the libertarian camp because 282 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,360 that's all I want is for me to live my life the way I see fit 283 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:12,000 and for you to leave me alone while I do it, to not infringe 284 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,080 on each other's rights. But again, I don't want this to 285 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,520 be political. I don't feel that it is or that 286 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,920 it should be political. I do think that there is a lot 287 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,800 going on around the world that is occupying our minds. 288 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,160 We are not designed to know what is going on around the world 289 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,840 24/7. We are not designed to see 290 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,880 people die on our phones in our hands and go back to work. 291 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,280 It is so bad for our mental health, yet here we are. 292 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,960 This is what we're doing. And quite honestly, when we live 293 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,560 in this stress state and it effects our pets so much. 294 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,880 And I realize you're like Jessica, you're talking about 295 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,200 something so deep and now you're coming back to our pets. 296 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,640 It matters. It all matters. 297 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,000 Like we live in this world that everything is connected and we 298 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,760 have gotten, I've said this so many times so far, it's 299 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,440 connected from nature. Right now, in this moment, I 300 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,880 feel so disconnected. And I know in my heart, like, 301 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,000 there are so many reasons. I'm going to give you an update 302 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,880 here in just a minute of like, something's going on with me and 303 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,080 my pets. But I'm literally recording this 304 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,920 the day before it's coming out to you because I have been 305 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,160 trying to figure out exactly what I want to say and I still 306 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,240 don't even know what I want to say. 307 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,440 I don't know if I've said what I wanted to say yet other than to 308 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,120 say that I will not be political. 309 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,120 But I am not going to silence myself. 310 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,360 If I feel something needs to be said for whatever I'm talking 311 00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:45,080 about for the bigger picture, I'm going to say it. 312 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:50,520 And I am sorry if you don't agree with me, that's fine. 313 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,720 Bring me that information of why you don't agree with me. 314 00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,160 Bring me like full interviews. Bring me full studies I don't 315 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,920 like. Please don't bring me headlines. 316 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,880 Headlines mean nothing. Please don't bring me memes. 317 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,080 Memes don't mean anything either. 318 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,400 I don't want to see a clip taken out of context. 319 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,880 I want to see full interviews, full episodes, full studies, 320 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,480 full whatever. Like, because this is what I'm 321 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,200 trying to bring you. I'm not trying to bring you 322 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,040 headlines. I'm not trying to bring you half 323 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:31,240 researched information. I really truly try. 324 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,880 And I know this is hard. This is hard because with 325 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,000 holistic health, we don't have studies for everything. 326 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,960 That's kind of the point. The point is that nature is 327 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:50,400 providing for us even when we don't know how or why. 328 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,520 Sometimes. It's also kind of the point that 329 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,280 everything, everything in the Pharmaceutical industry started 330 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,480 in nature. They took nature and said I 331 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,600 can't patent this. How can I change it so that I 332 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,800 can patent it so it makes sense to go back to nature when we 333 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,040 can? Our food has become political. 334 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,880 Our medicine has become political. 335 00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:19,640 The sick care system is certainly political. 336 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,920 I don't know how to not. I'm trying so hard. 337 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,600 I don't want to be political because I don't feel like any of 338 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,880 these things should be. And I have just. 339 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,480 Every time I open social media for the past darn near 2 weeks, 340 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,240 I'm crying because maybe it maybe it's because I am nowhere 341 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,160 near. I am not. 342 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,400 Please believe I am humble and I realize I am nowhere near a 343 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,000 Charlie Kirk. I am not a household name. 344 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,360 I am not in the mainstream. I believe I understand that. 345 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:53,000 And you know what? I think a lot of us in this 346 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,200 healthy pet space are not and that is totally fine. 347 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,120 I don't need to be. I don't want to be. 348 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,800 But. And do I think that's going to 349 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,000 happen to me? No, no, I don't. 350 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,360 I'm not self important like that. 351 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,600 I don't have those feelings. I don't have those beliefs. 352 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,080 I guess it made the possibility more real that any of us. 353 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,200 You know, I look at like Europe and people being put in jail for 354 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,200 social media posts. That is not that's not a world I 355 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,280 want to live in. Like what has happened? 356 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,160 Where are anyway? That's I guess what I wanted to 357 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,680 say. I don't even know if that's what 358 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,640 I wanted to say. Feel like maybe that's what I 359 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,240 wanted to say. It's terrible. 360 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,760 So many terrible things have happened this year. 361 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,200 It's a nine year. We're in an eclipse season. 362 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,280 I know my year has been floored. My year has been insane. 363 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,240 I have had so much change this year, more than any other year 364 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,800 of my life. And I can say that having lived 365 00:23:53,800 --> 00:24:00,000 through all of it. It's been insane this year and I 366 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,440 let me give you a little bit of an update on that because 367 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,360 hopefully by the time you hear this episode, I will have closed 368 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,000 on selling my house in Texas. For those of you who have been 369 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,720 here for a while, you know that some really not amazing things, 370 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,600 really not amazing happened at the beginning of this year and 371 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,840 I'm still working through all of that. 372 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,920 It's a really strange feeling and a really strange place right 373 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:31,080 now to be in where I simultaneously feel like 374 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:37,400 everything is still being destroyed and I'm trying to 375 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:43,960 rebuild and I'm trying to, like, juggle both of those things at 376 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,560 the same time. And me, I'm hoping this is kind 377 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,960 of the last piece. I don't know, Maybe, maybe not. 378 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,200 There's still a lot going on with the estate that I'm dealing 379 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,000 with. Yeah, it's been an insane year 380 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,440 for sure. A lot of things have ended in 381 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,160 ways I never thought possible. And at the same time, I'm still 382 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,520 doing, still living, still going, still planning and 383 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,480 rebuilding. Through all of that, my pets 384 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,800 have been here and amazing and feeling all of the stress with 385 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,720 me, Kimberly included. So I'm still waiting to get the 386 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,240 results from this. The follow up animal Biome test 387 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,960 after we did the legacy Biome Mt for a month. 388 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,560 And yeah, I've done a bioenergetic test on myself. 389 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,640 So I know there are things going on with me physically as well 390 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:46,240 that I was aware of, but kind of not 100% sure of the like why's. 391 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,160 And so I'm finding out the why's. 392 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:54,040 Yeah, we when I drove EU Haul back, well, I didn't drive, I 393 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,080 rode, but we drove EU Haul back from Texas. 394 00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:01,240 I went and I packed up my house. We stopped in Camden, SC and a 395 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,960 little kitten decided he was joining the family. 396 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,440 So I have a new kitten. His name is Camden to introduce 397 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,240 you to. I'm going to start posting him 398 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,320 on my social media. So if you don't follow me on 399 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,760 Instagram and TikTok, please go do so at the pet parenting 400 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,920 reset. And there's just so much. 401 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,800 I still don't even know if I said what I wanted to say in 402 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,000 this episode, I hope it came across in the most heartfelt, 403 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,720 genuine way that I intended it to because again, this is not a 404 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,120 political podcast and I have no intention of it being a 405 00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,480 political podcast. I don't believe we should be 406 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,880 politicizing science and medicine and food. 407 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:41,880 And these are the things that I talk about science and medicine 408 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,680 and food. And so I feel maybe I feel 409 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,360 attacked. Maybe maybe that's what it is. 410 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,560 I'm still, it's been almost two weeks and I'm still grappling 411 00:26:54,560 --> 00:27:00,680 with the feelings. I think I feel attacked very 412 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,760 indirectly, obviously, and certainly not in a way where I'm 413 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,920 like or me, look at me, look over here. 414 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,440 No, that's not it. I'm not being victimized, but I 415 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,760 do feel like the things I talk about that I am passionate about 416 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,760 are the things I am passionate about that I talked to you about 417 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,880 on this podcast are under attack. 418 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,000 So maybe not me specifically, but the things that I bring to 419 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,400 you, the things that I talk about, the things that I feel 420 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,360 like and I know in my pets lives have made a huge difference and 421 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,880 the the lives of my clients, pets have made a huge 422 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,600 difference. And I hopefully in your pets 423 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,640 lives, in your lives have made a huge difference. 424 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:44,360 I feel like those things are under attack and I can't stay 425 00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:47,680 quiet about that. Like these things matter and 426 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,040 they make a difference. And we have to be this point. 427 00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:54,680 We don't have a choice anymore. But to be outspoken to say no, 428 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,960 this matters to me and I will not let you bastardize it 429 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,360 anymore. And if we don't do that, where 430 00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:04,160 are we? What are we left with What? 431 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,160 Where are we going to be left? I don't know. 432 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,200 I hope that makes sense. And maybe some, maybe people 433 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,920 have already unfollowed me. I don't know. 434 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,320 I can't worry about that. I have to worry about the 435 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,160 message. I have to worry about food and 436 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,880 medicine and what they want us to see, we've already seen. 437 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,080 And look, I don't have a child with autism. 438 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,000 Somebody listening might. We've already seen that. 439 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000 We have had the science. We have had the studies showing 440 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,240 the effect that vaccines have on autism. 441 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,400 And it was buried because it it was not. 442 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,880 In fact, not only was it not going to help, it was going to 443 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,920 hurt the pharmaceutical companies making the vaccine. 444 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,400 And so they buried the science. That's not OK. 445 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,000 And when we don't speak up and when we don't say anything, they 446 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,560 just continue to get away with it and do it over and over and 447 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,560 over again. We've already seen that. 448 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,960 And I can't, I can't not talk about it because it affects all 449 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,240 of us. It affects me, it affects my 450 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,200 pets, it affects you, it affects your pets. 451 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,640 So no, this isn't political. This is not political. 452 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,600 And if you see it as political, I'm sorry for you. 453 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,560 I really am. It's, it's, it's a human rights 454 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,920 issue in my opinion. If we don't have access to clean 455 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:35,080 food and clean water, if they take away our access to nature, 456 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,480 to natural remedies, to peptides, to stem cell, if they 457 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,400 take away our access and we let them take away our access 458 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,240 because it's not making the pharmaceutical companies a 459 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,920 profit, where are we? What are we left with? 460 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,200 Like we're already seeing where we are and what we're going to 461 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,160 be left with and it's not pretty. 462 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,320 We're all sick. Our pets are sick. 463 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:05,640 We have to keep talking about it because when we're aware of what 464 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:11,880 is actually happening and we speak up and we say no more, we 465 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:17,280 have power in numbers. We have to do it. 466 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,880 We have to do it, and I'm blessed to have this podcast and 467 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,160 for me to not say what I'm saying would be the travesty I 468 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,080 think. So if you're still here, thank 469 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,480 you. I can't tell you how much I 470 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,360 appreciate you. Next week is going to be a 471 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,400 regular episode, I promise. I am just wishing you and your 472 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,320 pets the absolute best. I truly, truly, truly, all I 473 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,760 want is for you and your pets to have access to clean food and 474 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,720 clean water and natural remedies when you want them. 475 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,000 That's it, that's it. So if you think that's 476 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,880 political, I'm sorry. That is my hope for today and 477 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,920 every day. And if you're still here, again, 478 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,640 thank you so much. I care too much, obviously, 479 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:05,800 obviously, about all of this and it is being attacked for sure. 480 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,120 So I hope you're with me. Hope you're sticking with me. 481 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,520 Have some really amazing episodes coming up. 482 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,080 Thank you so much for being here. 483 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,760 I wish you and your pets the best. 484 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,920 Honestly, I do I don't care what your religious beliefs are. 485 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,280 I don't care what your political affiliation is. 486 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,680 I want every single last one of you and your pets to have and 487 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:34,440 all animals to be treated fairly to, to have clean food and clean 488 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,160 water and natural access to natural modalities, which like 489 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,920 we should be basic human rights. And we've let governments get in 490 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,040 the way of that. We've let, we've let it go for 491 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,520 too long. So I don't know, maybe I feel 492 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,280 better, I'm not sure. Tell me how you feel. 493 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,240 Tell me how you feel. With that. 494 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,000 I again next week going back to a normal episode. 495 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,840 Thank you so, so much for being here. 496 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,560 I appreciate each and every one of you. 497 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,880 I wish you and your pets the best. 498 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,880 Until next week, please give your pets some extra love for 499 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,000 me.
