• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I'm great?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Are you absolutely fantastic and very excited to share a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: conversation with you because you're covering something here. I don't
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: know why it is that we like to shove things
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: underneath the carpet, but this is a subject that if
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we don't get it out here for us to have
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a reason to have a conversation. And you're that one, Karen,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you've been You're the one that's going to get it started,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and then the rest of us have got to make
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: sure that we keep it activated.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I love that you know how long we've been saying
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: this stuff.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's been underneath the carpet.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Well, they'd like to Farman doesn't care much about us.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Do you think it's because that we just feel like, oh,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that will never happen to me, or if it does
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: happen to me, well then you know I'll handle it
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: if it does happen to me.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I mean I think that it's people don't expect it
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to happen to them. They don't expect to get sick,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and they don't understand their lifestyle choices that are making
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: them sick.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I can relate with that because that a heart
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: attack at forty seven, and that doctor said, dude, it's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: not what you were doing in your late thirties, it's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: what you did as a twenty and an early thirty
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: year old that puts you back here in this hospital
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and you're going to stay awake during this surgery and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the reason why he says, I don't want you back
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: on this table again. At least the doctor was saying, no,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to accept this bad behavior. Clean it up, dude,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And here comes Karen. I've got an idea for you.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Let's let's do this, let's let's, you know, make sure
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that we've got an eye on the future.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean you got lucky, you got a doctor
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: that had that kind of foresight, right, Like how many
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: of them just poo pooh what a supplement can do?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: And you don't need that. You can just see a
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: balanced diet and you'll get everything that you need. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: you don't hear. In fact, when I do go to
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the doctor, which is fairly rare, and they want me
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: to list all the things that I take, they're a
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: little freaked out.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that, because this is
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the excuse they always give me and correct me if
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong, please, And that is is that, oh look,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you're taking this supplement. It cancels out this other medicine
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that's supposed to be for your cholesterol. You need to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: stop taking the supplement. I'm going, I'm working. What do
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you mean that stuff is? How do you feel about
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: situations like that? Is self care safe?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: It is if you are taking reasonable steps, So I
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: mean you you have to you know, this is the
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: other thing. People get overwhelmed with the information, understandably so.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: And there's and even now, especially with social media, all
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: of the flooding on TikTok of Take this, Take this,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Take this. It just adds to the confusion. And it's
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: really hard to discern what it is you need and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: what kind of quality you're looking for. So, I mean
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that's our conversation today, right, It's like, what are the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: most important things for me to look to? And I
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: have my little trifecta that I'm like, this is the
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: gateway into supplementation, which is omega three, magnesium and vitamin
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: D three.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's me. I get it. I do it every day.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I do it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: And do you take enough? Because the only way we'll
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: know is if we test?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Boy, you're right about that, and that you know what
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I must be because the doctor didn't say, hey, look,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: because here's the thing. My good cholesterol was at a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: four and he said you should be at a thirty
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: two or higher. That's why you had a heart attack, kid,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and and and so and it's and you're right, you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: are you taking enough? Well, that's why I go in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: every six months for a blood test. I mean, I've
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: just got to get more people to do that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And after you know, and here's the other thing. With
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: all the healthcare cuts, that are coming and the increased
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: costs of everything, not to mention you know that your
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: insurance is going to cover less all the time, people
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: are reticent to go in. So you know, it's interesting
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that there are options for that. I mean, I strongly
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: recommend it, especially if you have a health history or
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: family history that you speak with a physician that actually
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: understands this. And there are lots of qualified integrative physicians,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: naturopathic positions and just conventional mds who have gone through
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: this kind of training, but there aren't enough of them.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: So you can literally have your own blood tests at
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: home and get some of those measures and indicators. Now,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: so if you go to grassroots Health dot net or
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you go to nutrient power dot org and that's our
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: sort of website into all of this, you can you
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: can get a test skit that will measure your omegas,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: your magnesium, and your vitamin D three inexpensive but it
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: is affected, and then you have your baseline and you
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: know then how to proceed.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: That reminds me the last time that I put music
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: together in the studio, I went in, they're prepared. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: put the music down and recorded it and mixed it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and then took it in there and said, this is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do. Should be the same thing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: when it comes to all the things that could cause
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a nutrient deficiency. If you're not taking care of yourself
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in this department, you're asking for problems.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Karen, you are you are you? You know? And the
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: other thing is is so you have a vitamin D
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: deficiency and that can create all kinds of problems, but
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: it's also relating into all the other you know, Vitamin
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: D three it acts like a hormone in your body,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: and it just has so much impact on everything about
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: who you are and what you do. And you start
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to combine these things, and you also need to know
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: that you can take too much. I will come clean,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Like I actually got my vitamin D level way too
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: high with like a moment. So that's the important part
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: of it, you know, because you don't need it high.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: You only need it in a certain range forty to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: sixty if you need it your omega three eight to twelve,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: you know. So it's this information you can find by
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: going on to nutrient power dot org to kind of
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: get familiar with what it is that we're talking about,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: because a lot of this is new to.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: People, Please do not move. There's more with Karen Howard
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: right around the corner, how to be safe with self care. Oh,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: this is a serious subject with Karen Howard. What about
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: those people that think I'm drinking my water? But are
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you drinking enough? And number two, are you drinking too
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: much water? Because that can be damaging as well?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, that can be damaging. Too much sun can be damaging.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Too much of anything can be damaging. You're talking about magnesium.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: You know what women think automatically magnesium sit trait. Well, no,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I know that we all need to poop. But that's
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: all that's fit for, right, So it's that's why it's
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: confusing for people and I and I really do appreciate that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And of course, if you're someone like me and sounds
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: like you, you're preaching all the time. Yeah, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: it's like you know, and people get tired of it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: But the reality is is, I don't know about you,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: but I have been sick in years knocking on wood. Now,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I did test positive for COVID once, but I was asymptomatic.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: What do you what do you do in those situations?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Because it seems like we are going through a craze
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: right now where everybody wants to do melatonin. Oh my god,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: we sell enough melatonin in this country. I don't take
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it because it doesn't work. I mean, I don't have
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: any problem falling asleep, it's staying asleep. And and I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: know that that's what people are going through. I just
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: tell them, you know, listen to your spirit GUIDs. They're
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: talking to you at night. Tell them to go to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: bed and you'll see him in the morning. But see,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: but people think I'm insane when I talk like that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Oh well, I love that. I would say, melatonin, I'm
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: going to agree with you one hundred percent. And I
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: will say the whole sleeping issue is a huge component
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: of how to live a healthy lifestyle. A good night's
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: sleep is probably as good as, if not better as,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: the whole water thing. Right, So all of these things
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: come hand in hand, Like you need to like moderate
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: your evening hours, you need to back off on any
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: alcohol consumption that you're doing, and all of those things
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: will begin to take care of sleep. But if you're
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: still having trouble sleeping, that's what the magnesium is for.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: And unlike you mag situate, if you take something like
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: magnesium elth the innate you're going to find that you're
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: able to sleep better, will you stay asleep? Well, that
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: to your point is you know what is what are
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you allowing to race through your head? Did you exercise?
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Did you get a good walk in during the day,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Because I you know, all of us are inclined in
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: today's environment to worry. I'm not sure I know anyone
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: that doesn't worry anymore. So you know, you have to
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: really kind of the meditation component of this is as
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: equal as anything else we can do for ourselves in
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: terms of deep breathing. And I don't think people think,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm going to sit there in an ashram,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: you don't have time for that. But the reality is
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you can put yourself on a pillow on the floor
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: and just breathe deeply.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: That I realize that kumbacha is an ancient Chinese tea.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: But the thing is, though, is that we've all gone
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: crazy over probiotics and now they've given us even prebiotics
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and pepsi is now part of the prebiotic drinks. It's like,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: oh my god, do people even know what they're taking?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And are they getting too much of the probiotics as
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: well as the prebiotics.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: And why are they drinking it?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: And so exactly. Thank you so much for saying that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: It's just here's the thing. People are capitalized and companies
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: are capitalizing on the fact that there is a desire
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: for people who want to be healthy to do something
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: about it. And when it looks like it comes packaged
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: in a hamburger or a coke, you know, that's going
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: to really appeal to people who don't understand the effort
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: that has to go into a clean diet. And then
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: on the flip side of that, you have Pharma who's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: getting into the business as well. So Farma now owns
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of good dietary supplement companies And so is
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: that just a gateway into pharmaceuticals. I hope not. But
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: you have to really understand the financial motivators behind why
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: you are eating something that seems a little odd like
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: prebiotic or post biot, and those those products themselves really
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: should be refrigerated. Yeah, so that's my dog takes a
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: better probiotic than either. So, and it's in the refrigerator.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Because it's living, it's living.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: It's living, it's a living thing.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, Wow, the you know It's like yesterday somebody bought uh,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: mashed potatoes with protein in it, and I looked right
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: at them at the grocery store and I said, just
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: put sardines in your potatoes. You don't need them to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: put their chemical protein in there. You you just just
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: get like maybe some tuna fish you put with your potatoes.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's I don't understand why we've got
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to put protein in everything today.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Well it's you know, it's the new hip thing, right.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Even my my boog camp coaches on it's like, you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: protein powder, protein powder, and I'm like, well, I'm not
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: going to do anything that's not organic. You know, people
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: need to understand to look for some of these seals,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: especially with things like protein powder. So organic is really
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: important because you know that it's been harvest it has
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: been grown and harvested in a way that doesn't have
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: any toxic chemicals added to your food. And the Non
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Gmo Project with its butterfly tells you that there are
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: no genetically modified organisms in this stuff. So when you're
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: going to do protein bars, protein powder that could have
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: anything in it, that's the kind of quality thing you
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: want to look for on that food and supplements are food.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: They're regulated as food, so there are other things to
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: look for. Stay away from TikTok, but there are other
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: things to look for, like seals like nsf USP, the
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: organic you USDA, the butterfly. So I really encourage people
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: to get curious, like not just oh that will be
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: good for me. I'm going to take it for a
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: month and see how I feel. This is a lifestyle choice.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: It is, it is, it is.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness sakes, I could spend all days sharing
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a conversation with you. Where can we go to find
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: out more? You've mentioned the website, but I really want
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: them to plant themselves on that website and grow with it.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nutrientpower dot org is a really good place start.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It's a good opening conversation and will guide you into
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: a place called Grassroots Health, which is doing all of
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: this research on people like you and me who send
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: in our blood tests. We've taken it to Capitol Hill,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: We've given it away at receptions so people can know
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: what their levels are and you will find an amazing
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: amount of information on all the d omega three and magnesium.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: It's a great place to visit.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You got to come back to this show anytime in
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the future, because the door is always going to be open.
• 12:28
