0:33
Speaker 2: Hey, good afternoon, and welcome to another episode of Wellness Uncensored.
0:38
Speaker 2: My name is doctor Patty g. I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner,
0:42
Speaker 2: and we're here to talk about all things wellness, mental
0:45
Speaker 2: health censored and uncensored and happy to be here today.
0:49
Speaker 2: You know, we often talk about a lot of different
0:52
Speaker 2: things related to the brain. The brain is such a
0:57
Speaker 2: small element, probably only weighing in at about ten to
1:01
Speaker 2: thirteen pounds in your head, and it's a very light
1:05
Speaker 2: in comparison to the rest of your body. But yet
1:08
Speaker 2: it does so many functions and what's fascinating. You know,
1:11
Speaker 2: we're here talking today because it is National Mental Health
1:14
Speaker 2: Awareness Month, and oftentimes we really don't stop to think
1:19
Speaker 2: about all the things that go along with mental wellness. Right.
1:23
Speaker 2: We talk a lot about physical wellness. We talk a
1:26
Speaker 2: lot about physical pain. We talk about all kinds of drama, trauma,
1:31
Speaker 2: and some of it's very real so, you know, trying
1:33
Speaker 2: to make light of some things that are very serious.
1:36
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, how many of
1:38
Speaker 2: you have a car, how many of you have a laptop,
1:42
Speaker 2: how many of you have a cell phone? And when
1:44
Speaker 2: those objects are not working, what do you do? Right,
1:49
Speaker 2: You take them in to get serviced. If you don't
1:52
Speaker 2: take it in to get serviced, by all means you
1:56
Speaker 2: are quick to the gun to find out what's wrong. Right,
2:02
Speaker 2: I mean, just imagine for a minute if we didn't
2:04
Speaker 2: have our cell phone, I probably my husband will tell
2:07
Speaker 2: you can't go five minutes. Although I've been on a
2:09
Speaker 2: journey and I've been doing really well, I have left
2:11
Speaker 2: my cell phone alone for nearly six hours at a
2:15
Speaker 2: time a while a week. So if I can put
2:18
Speaker 2: it down, you all can put it down. And sometimes
2:21
Speaker 2: you do need to put the phone down. Sometimes too
2:25
Speaker 2: much of a cell phone, especially when you are scrolling
2:28
Speaker 2: and you're on social media. I'll have patients lose an
2:32
Speaker 2: hour or two a day just scrolling and scrolling, and
2:35
Speaker 2: while the content may appear to be interesting, that is
2:38
Speaker 2: really not stimulation for the brain. And before I digress
2:42
Speaker 2: too much, I've got a patient who's got this beautiful
2:45
Speaker 2: little five year old girl who when I saw her,
2:49
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe my eyes, sounded like a little imagine
2:54
Speaker 2: turning on your phone and a chatterbox of just information,
2:59
Speaker 2: misinformation and just dada da da dada, da da da
3:02
Speaker 2: da da. And she was driving herself literally crazy. And
3:07
Speaker 2: the poor thing, as if by overnight, seems to have
3:11
Speaker 2: developed OCD. Okay, that seems simple enough, but guess what
3:16
Speaker 2: often the parents did with this little five year old
3:19
Speaker 2: who they didn't just start yesterday. Let her play with
3:23
Speaker 2: their phone while they're talking to adults, and while they're interacting,
3:28
Speaker 2: and this little gal is just clicking, clicking, touching, clicking.
3:34
Speaker 2: You know, think about that, maybe not the best way
3:39
Speaker 2: to stimulate such a young developing brain. So I'm anxious
3:44
Speaker 2: to hear some of the follow up and diagnosis for her,
3:47
Speaker 2: because they were taking her to a clinical neuropsychiatrist to
3:51
Speaker 2: just do some work. Because in addition, you know, again
3:54
Speaker 2: a little bit we drift already symptoms of OCD primarily
3:59
Speaker 2: in children, but can manifest up into your adult years
4:02
Speaker 2: if not diagnosed. OCD can come from mold sports. So
4:06
Speaker 2: if you're in an older home, damp mold accumulation it
4:10
Speaker 2: doesn't even have to be old home technically, but mold
4:13
Speaker 2: can really trigger true full blown OCD symptoms where washing
4:19
Speaker 2: hands repetitively, not wanting to step across a crack, not
4:22
Speaker 2: wanting to do X, Y or Z. So you know,
4:25
Speaker 2: there could be some clinical stuff to this, but at
4:27
Speaker 2: the end of the day, like these cell phones, we
4:29
Speaker 2: have just got to get a hold of. So, yes,
4:33
Speaker 2: this is a stress brain. I'm glad Dannie you could
4:36
Speaker 2: see me. All I have to do is squeeze this
4:38
Speaker 2: to relax. And they come in all shapes and sizes.
4:42
Speaker 2: But I've fondly collected two of them at two of
4:44
Speaker 2: the hospitals that I used to work at, And although
4:47
Speaker 2: the name has worn off, I just love the brain.
4:50
Speaker 2: It's so cool. So I do like to collect these
4:52
Speaker 2: kinds of things. And for Mental Health Awareness Month, you know,
4:57
Speaker 2: we're going to have a chock full of just topics
4:59
Speaker 2: and I ideas and suggestions to really help you guys
5:03
Speaker 2: get in charge of your wellness. I won't even say
5:06
Speaker 2: get in charge of your health, because oftentimes we think
5:08
Speaker 2: of health as well. You know, I'm physically healthier, I'm
5:11
Speaker 2: physically active. That's good, it's important. It all goes hand
5:15
Speaker 2: in hand. But this, as I was alluding to in
5:19
Speaker 2: the beginning of the call, this is your chip, this
5:22
Speaker 2: is your motherboard. And with the motherboard, you know there
5:26
Speaker 2: I go leave in that window open for my dogs
5:28
Speaker 2: and they just want to protect me your motherboard. If
5:33
Speaker 2: you need an update? What happens when your computer sends
5:36
Speaker 2: you a little message at the bottom of your screen, Oh,
5:38
Speaker 2: time to restart your computer, and you don't we run
5:41
Speaker 2: into trouble, don't we? Or if you have your computer
5:45
Speaker 2: and you don't have it lugged in, it's going to
5:48
Speaker 2: die on you. Right. What do you think happens to
5:51
Speaker 2: your brain? What do you think happens when your car
5:55
Speaker 2: it says out a court of oil, or if your
5:57
Speaker 2: yes tank engine laid says it's low. We tend to
6:01
Speaker 2: all those things, right, Why don't we tend to our
6:04
Speaker 2: mental wellness or our mental health? You know, we just
6:07
Speaker 2: take it for granted, and it leads me into and
6:10
Speaker 2: I'm sure many of you out there will understand when
6:15
Speaker 2: I say, you know, I'm feeling sluggish, I'm feeling tired,
6:19
Speaker 2: my motivation's low. And then we go into some other questions. Okay, well,
6:24
Speaker 2: how much sleep did you get last night. Do you
6:25
Speaker 2: go to sleep at the regular time, do you wake
6:28
Speaker 2: up through the night. What did you have to eat yesterday?
6:31
Speaker 2: Have you been hydrating? Have you been doing things to
6:35
Speaker 2: stretch or move or get your body into some physical fitness.
6:39
Speaker 2: We were just chatting before the show. You know. I
6:41
Speaker 2: kicked off my day today, did a five mile run,
6:44
Speaker 2: and I came back and I started to see patients.
6:47
Speaker 2: We have a show, and then I've got a few
6:49
Speaker 2: more patients. Then I've got a trauma group that we're
6:53
Speaker 2: going to meet with tonight, and then I'll relax and
6:55
Speaker 2: probably socialize with my family, and then I'll easily fall asleep.
7:00
Speaker 2: If you are not stimulating and fueling and filling your
7:03
Speaker 2: brain with good nutrients, and with good nutrients I mean sleep, nutrition, hydration, fuel,
7:11
Speaker 2: and then movement. If you don't have that alignment, all
7:16
Speaker 2: those symptoms that you describe, yeah, we can throw a
7:19
Speaker 2: medication on that, but are we really getting to the root,
7:23
Speaker 2: you know? And so oftentimes I will talk to folks
7:26
Speaker 2: about they'll come in with cognition issues, and if I
7:30
Speaker 2: have met one, I'm telling you, this year, I've probably
7:33
Speaker 2: met close to three hundred people in their forties and
7:37
Speaker 2: they want to educate me on what they've learned by
7:40
Speaker 2: googling their symptoms. They have attention deficit disorder. And I'd
7:45
Speaker 2: like to believe them. It'd make my job very easy. Right,
7:48
Speaker 2: But would I be doing them justice if I didn't
7:51
Speaker 2: ask them a few more leading questions? Right, So, when
7:54
Speaker 2: we really get to the root of some underlying things
7:57
Speaker 2: we learn prior history. It could have been early back
8:00
Speaker 2: in childhood, unresolved symptoms with this underlying anxiety. It could
8:05
Speaker 2: be recent stressors that there's just a lot of responsibility
8:10
Speaker 2: weighing them down. It could be a recent death, It
8:12
Speaker 2: could be a divorce. It could be a loss of
8:14
Speaker 2: a job. It could be the start of a new job,
8:17
Speaker 2: and that can be a trigger of just anxiety, which
8:21
Speaker 2: impedes concentration and focus. It could be they're sad, they're
8:26
Speaker 2: remorseful of the loss of something, and depressive symptoms can
8:31
Speaker 2: impede cognition and focus in memory. There's also medications that
8:37
Speaker 2: can really affect cognition and memory. And you know, and
8:41
Speaker 2: I share these lovingly, but you know, folks will come
8:45
Speaker 2: and they'll tell me, Oh, you know, I just new patient.
8:48
Speaker 2: I need to get my medications. You know, ordered I've
8:51
Speaker 2: moved from the area or just moved into the area,
8:54
Speaker 2: or I've changed providers. Yeah, I just need X, Y
8:58
Speaker 2: and Z and I'm taking clonipin or xanax for anxiety.
9:02
Speaker 2: It works well, puts me to sleep. But I think
9:05
Speaker 2: I've add and so I'm going did you know then?
9:09
Speaker 2: So diazepines over time can really impede memory and cognition
9:14
Speaker 2: lead to early onset Alzheimer's. So even though you may
9:18
Speaker 2: have been on these things for heaven forbid, ten twenty years,
9:22
Speaker 2: it's time to get off. And how do you get off?
9:25
Speaker 2: Because the body craves, craves that medication, and oftentimes it
9:30
Speaker 2: craves it so much that doses get increased instead of
9:35
Speaker 2: decreasing and tapering to again. While I say a safer,
9:39
Speaker 2: better drug, I'm also of the practice that if I
9:42
Speaker 2: put you on something, my goal is to get you
9:44
Speaker 2: off of it. I'm using it for behavior training, I'm
9:47
Speaker 2: using it for lifestyle and getting you to start thinking
9:50
Speaker 2: the way you should. Okay, what's fascinating is people will
9:55
Speaker 2: come in and they'll want to limit what medications we
9:58
Speaker 2: can use. But yeah, they want to stick to something
10:01
Speaker 2: that you know has been prescribed and if you were
10:04
Speaker 2: feeling better, you wouldn't necessarily need the medication, perhaps, right,
10:08
Speaker 2: but they don't want to give up that med now.
10:10
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, part of the new regime in looking at
10:18
Speaker 2: I want to say the FDA, but it's through the
10:20
Speaker 2: House and Department of Human Services. They're actually looking at
10:24
Speaker 2: coming down into medicine and looking at these meds that
10:29
Speaker 2: are over prescribed and over prescribed for a period of years.
10:33
Speaker 2: So I couldn't be happier because you know, I try
10:35
Speaker 2: to be really diligent. It's not that I won't prescribe something,
10:38
Speaker 2: but I generally tend to use it for something that
10:41
Speaker 2: is short term, urgent, emergent, a rescue, just to get
10:46
Speaker 2: you to calm down. But usually these types of meds
10:48
Speaker 2: we only prescribe for two or three weeks at a time.
10:51
Speaker 2: We've got a boat load of questions, so let me
10:53
Speaker 2: give you a couple of quick answers as far as
10:56
Speaker 2: how much sleep the body needs. You know, it does
10:58
Speaker 2: vary by individual. I will say generally a good six
11:02
Speaker 2: to eight hours is what most you know, adults need,
11:06
Speaker 2: Kids tend to need eight to ten. Younger children they
11:09
Speaker 2: tend to need sort of the same, you know, eight
11:11
Speaker 2: to ten with a nap or two. You know in
11:13
Speaker 2: the daytime, older you are, the less sleep you actually require. Now,
11:19
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's good or a bad thing,
11:21
Speaker 2: but you find as you get older, you know, over
11:23
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty five or sixty, people tend to say, well,
11:27
Speaker 2: only get five hours of sleep at night or six
11:29
Speaker 2: hours to sleep. If you are up and you're moving
11:32
Speaker 2: and your day is going okay, you know, you're probably
11:35
Speaker 2: doing okay with that. But as a general rule, we
11:38
Speaker 2: say six to eight. If you sleep longer than that,
11:41
Speaker 2: or if you sleep shorter than that, we can talk
11:43
Speaker 2: about sleep hygiene and ways to correct sleep. But it's
11:46
Speaker 2: a general rule, and I promise you same thing. I
11:50
Speaker 2: have had patients come in. I've insomnia, I can't sleep.
11:55
Speaker 2: I've tried this mid I've done trasidone, vertazepine, sierra, I've
12:00
Speaker 2: used lu Nesta, I've used ambient. Oh, Ambien's the only
12:04
Speaker 2: thing that works. Well. Here's the thing. You might not
12:07
Speaker 2: need seven or eight hours of sleep. You might just
12:10
Speaker 2: need six. You might be taking a nap during the day.
12:13
Speaker 2: People often forget to tell me, yeah, every day after lunch,
12:17
Speaker 2: I not off for about twenty minutes or every day
12:20
Speaker 2: I come home from work and I sleep for a
12:22
Speaker 2: half an hour or an hour. Guess what you have
12:25
Speaker 2: now cut into your sleep cycle. So your brain is
12:28
Speaker 2: naturally going to develop a shorter time frame to sleep.
12:31
Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. And oftentimes again this is
12:35
Speaker 2: just quick, you know, one, two, three, I will generally
12:38
Speaker 2: tell people to force yourself to stay awake for the
12:41
Speaker 2: next day or two. Do not go into those naps.
12:44
Speaker 2: Don't let yourself, you know, rest, and try to go
12:47
Speaker 2: to sleep at a reasonable time, you know, ten or
12:49
Speaker 2: eleven if that's your usual window, and see if you
12:52
Speaker 2: don't sleep a little bit longer or a little bit sounder.
12:55
Speaker 2: You know, that's one way to help. The other little
12:58
Speaker 2: secret is if you are sedentary and you're not stretching
13:03
Speaker 2: or having any kind of a movement routine. I'm not
13:06
Speaker 2: asking you all to go run five miles, but if
13:08
Speaker 2: you're not moving daily and doing some kind of purposeful stretch,
13:13
Speaker 2: which we've talked about here. Going on YouTube, they've got
13:17
Speaker 2: millions of videos. There's not anybody here who can just
13:20
Speaker 2: pop up their laptop or put it on their TV
13:22
Speaker 2: and just get in the habit of clicking on what's
13:24
Speaker 2: a new video I can watch today? Do whatever's on
13:26
Speaker 2: the screen, and you have now taken care of the
13:29
Speaker 2: movement for your body for that day. Your brain likes it,
13:32
Speaker 2: it recharges, it releases really good endorphins. You feel a
13:36
Speaker 2: little lyft, you feel a little better, and you've checked
13:39
Speaker 2: off one box to help you get better sleep. Okay, ooh,
13:43
Speaker 2: a couple other questions the OCD. We'll have to get
13:46
Speaker 2: into more detail of the OCD. But with the description
13:50
Speaker 2: of many things being the same, how can people actually
13:53
Speaker 2: know what is going on with themselves? That's a good question,
13:56
Speaker 2: and let's kind of dive into that. And our medications
14:00
Speaker 2: made for a lifetime of taking. So I'll quickly answer
14:04
Speaker 2: that one and say, you know, unless you're on a
14:06
Speaker 2: medication that's helping you to regulate things like your blood pressure,
14:10
Speaker 2: keeping it under control, things that are life saving generally speaking, medications.
14:17
Speaker 2: The history of psychiatry was built on behavioral changes to
14:22
Speaker 2: help the person learn how to deal with impulse and response.
14:26
Speaker 2: It's like somebody comes at you and they're nasty and
14:28
Speaker 2: they're negative. You could a stand there, you could cry,
14:32
Speaker 2: you could yell back, you could run away. Right, So
14:36
Speaker 2: what do we train the body and the brain to
14:39
Speaker 2: do when negative things come your way, depending on the severity.
14:44
Speaker 2: If you have someone who's coming at you with negative
14:46
Speaker 2: stimuli or negative impulses, we want you to learn, how
14:49
Speaker 2: do you feel comfortable to go, Wow, Jim, you really
14:53
Speaker 2: don't seem happy today? What can I do to help you?
14:56
Speaker 2: As opposed to Jim, what are you yelling at me for?
14:59
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on? And immediately you're like this, right,
15:02
Speaker 2: shoulders tense. You're feeling pretty bad. You're going to cause
15:04
Speaker 2: yourself some muscle tightness, probably some stiffness, soreness, maybe a headache.
15:09
Speaker 2: You get into fight or flight, you're intestines, everything's all
15:13
Speaker 2: worked up. You take your adrenals and they're going like this,
15:16
Speaker 2: they're throwing out cortisol to go, oh my god, you've
15:18
Speaker 2: got an offense coming here. So behavioral work for psychiatry
15:25
Speaker 2: is just that it's meeting with a therapist. It's learning
15:28
Speaker 2: what your challenges or your deficits are and then working
15:32
Speaker 2: in a regular pattern to get better, to learn to
15:35
Speaker 2: overcome those things. That's why if you ever saw the
15:37
Speaker 2: movie What about Bob hysterical movie love it. I definitely
15:41
Speaker 2: recommend it for a good laugh. But in What About Bob,
15:43
Speaker 2: he goes to a psychiatrists because the psychiatrist is trying
15:46
Speaker 2: to tell him just take baby steps, take baby steps,
15:49
Speaker 2: let's work on this. He had social anxiety, so you know,
15:54
Speaker 2: Bob was taking baby steps and he would talk to himself,
15:56
Speaker 2: baby steps, baby steps, baby steps. That is the essence
16:00
Speaker 2: of what psychiatry tries to do behaviorally, with cognitive therapy,
16:07
Speaker 2: dialectic behavioral therapy, other types of therapy. Sometimes there's trauma
16:12
Speaker 2: work involved because again, perfect example, you've got a trigger
16:16
Speaker 2: or a trauma or a really bad response of something
16:18
Speaker 2: that happened, whether it be in war, abuse or whatever.
16:23
Speaker 2: Just taking a medication may mask the symptoms for a while,
16:27
Speaker 2: but guess what happens in five or ten years. Man,
16:30
Speaker 2: let me tell you that band aid starts to rip off,
16:32
Speaker 2: and when it comes off all the way, Now what
16:35
Speaker 2: do you do? The medication's not working. So no, to
16:38
Speaker 2: answer that question, and hopefully this is helpful for you, guys,
16:42
Speaker 2: medication is meant to be an adjunct, you know. And
16:44
Speaker 2: I will have people to come in and they're like, yeah,
16:46
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not feeling well. This is going on
16:48
Speaker 2: that's going on, and we give them approaches to heal
16:51
Speaker 2: and like, well, I just I just want medication. Well,
16:54
Speaker 2: you're never just getting medication, you know. If you're just
16:57
Speaker 2: getting medication, you're just band dating. It is meant to
17:00
Speaker 2: help you feel better, and sometimes people do need to
17:03
Speaker 2: be on it for a period of years. I talk
17:06
Speaker 2: on here a lot, and because it is Mental Health
17:08
Speaker 2: Awareness Month, I want to just rant and rave all
17:12
Speaker 2: the good things about Transcranial magnetic therapy TMS is what
17:17
Speaker 2: we call it, and it is a fast track to
17:20
Speaker 2: those weeks and months and years of medication with talk
17:24
Speaker 2: therapy and dialectic behavioral therapy and trauma work. It really
17:29
Speaker 2: works to take your brain like a computer, if you will,
17:34
Speaker 2: and recharge it, put in a new program, and kind
17:39
Speaker 2: of restart it so that it allows the brain to
17:42
Speaker 2: fire the way it's meant to. It re ignites and
17:45
Speaker 2: lights up neurotransmitters in your brain that have kind of
17:48
Speaker 2: dampened down. They dampen down often from stress, anxiety, trauma,
17:54
Speaker 2: to protect the body. And when they dampen down to
17:57
Speaker 2: protect the body, what happens is now your brain, my
18:02
Speaker 2: favorite little squeeze ball, your brain. I won't say short circuits,
18:06
Speaker 2: but it doesn't work optimally. So there's going to be
18:09
Speaker 2: parts of your brain that's sort of become darkened. They're
18:13
Speaker 2: not working. It's almost like if you have which I've
18:16
Speaker 2: got a few of them out here in Florida from
18:18
Speaker 2: that horrible frost we had. Trees are not really all blooming.
18:23
Speaker 2: I've got some dead leaves, dead sprouts, all that kind
18:26
Speaker 2: of stuff. So it'll take some of those leaves and
18:29
Speaker 2: it'll reinfuse a good electrical impulse through it. And when
18:33
Speaker 2: it reinfuses that electrical impulse gets what guess what happens?
18:37
Speaker 2: Have you all seen? I should bring in some pictures
18:39
Speaker 2: for the next show of a brain and what the
18:41
Speaker 2: axe on to the dendrate? Y'all remember that from like
18:45
Speaker 2: high school and the firing of the impulse, the electrical impulse.
18:50
Speaker 2: That's what your brain does all day, every day, even
18:53
Speaker 2: when you sleep. But when your brain is stressed, the
18:57
Speaker 2: impulses are usually slowed down there, erratic, they don't function
19:01
Speaker 2: with the pattern, and when you're anxious, they're like, oh
19:05
Speaker 2: my god, oh my god, oh my god, what do
19:06
Speaker 2: I do? And what that does is it comes from
19:09
Speaker 2: your brain all the way down to the top the
19:11
Speaker 2: base of your brain, and at the top of that
19:14
Speaker 2: is the vagus nerve, and it goes all the way
19:16
Speaker 2: down to your intestines and it touches every organ in
19:19
Speaker 2: your body. When that happens, this is the fight or
19:22
Speaker 2: flight and this is the brain. So TMS can get
19:25
Speaker 2: in there and sort of neutralize and magnetically it will
19:30
Speaker 2: take your brain and get it to fire normal, good impulses.
19:35
Speaker 2: It is completely different than electric shock therapy. Electric shock
19:40
Speaker 2: therapy will take the brain and sort of darken it down.
19:44
Speaker 2: It's an older tested treatment. It's one that I would
19:49
Speaker 2: really prefer never to see people get, but in some cases,
19:53
Speaker 2: you know, they still use it today. So TMS is
19:55
Speaker 2: a great way to fast track medication because it, yeah,
20:00
Speaker 2: medication can take a while find the right one. In
20:03
Speaker 2: most medications, there's usually some symptoms or side effects. They
20:07
Speaker 2: take a couple of weeks to work. You know, they
20:10
Speaker 2: don't work like a tilinol or an aspring. You put
20:12
Speaker 2: it in and you feel a little bit better, So
20:14
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of time spent to get
20:16
Speaker 2: you even feel good enough to want to work. And
20:19
Speaker 2: then here's the other part. I should have brought this
20:22
Speaker 2: up earlier. But you know how many times you go
20:25
Speaker 2: in and you want to get help, but are you
20:27
Speaker 2: really ready for help? And we often sometimes lie to ourselves. Yeah,
20:31
Speaker 2: I'm going to go get treatment, I'm gonna get therapy,
20:33
Speaker 2: I'm going to get medication. And then you're given homework.
20:36
Speaker 2: And see, that's one of the big things we do.
20:39
Speaker 2: We're going to give you things to do till the
20:42
Speaker 2: next time we see you, and any good you know, psychiatry, therapist,
20:47
Speaker 2: you name it, is going to give you things. Okay.
20:49
Speaker 2: One of the first things is, let's look at your sleep,
20:52
Speaker 2: Let's look at what you're putting in your body to
20:54
Speaker 2: fuel it. I often really try to get people to
20:57
Speaker 2: understand fuel to me is far different than eating because
21:03
Speaker 2: you may not eat well, but you can fuel better.
21:06
Speaker 2: And hydrating super important. And then movements. So if you
21:09
Speaker 2: start to do those things for homework. The other thing
21:12
Speaker 2: we often ask folks to do is to journal, so
21:15
Speaker 2: you can get these on Amazon or anywhere. And I
21:19
Speaker 2: encourage you to find a journal because it's going to
21:21
Speaker 2: be really helpful for you to start your mental wellness journey.
21:25
Speaker 2: And since it is Mental Health Awareness Month and I
21:29
Speaker 2: don't want to lean too heavily and all the sad,
21:32
Speaker 2: the dark, the negative, the downside of mental health. Because
21:35
Speaker 2: you know what, we can be better, we can do better,
21:39
Speaker 2: we can feel better. We can get there. But you
21:42
Speaker 2: know where it all starts. It doesn't start here. It
21:45
Speaker 2: doesn't start with me. It starts with you. And I
21:49
Speaker 2: can give you all the suggestions and the guidance, the medication,
21:52
Speaker 2: the tips and the tools, but you have to partner
21:55
Speaker 2: with me and take what I give you, write things down,
21:59
Speaker 2: take ownership of your mental wellness. And when you do,
22:04
Speaker 2: I promise you you're going to feel so much better in
22:06
Speaker 2: a relatively short period of time. And remember, I know
22:10
Speaker 2: that there's already all these other things going on that
22:12
Speaker 2: may be negatively affecting you. But why not start today?
22:17
Speaker 2: You know, you get home, open up YouTube, pop on
22:20
Speaker 2: a video, just do some simple stretches. When you go
22:23
Speaker 2: to bed tonight, set the intentions. Maybe put on an app.
22:27
Speaker 2: You guys all know how to get to these apps.
22:29
Speaker 2: There's great sleep apps. There's all different ones and you
22:32
Speaker 2: can either listen to tones, different tunes, different sounds. One
22:37
Speaker 2: is called brain Waves. That's a good one you can
22:39
Speaker 2: use and it's just different sounds they're amazing and you
22:43
Speaker 2: listen to it. You listen to it, and it should
22:46
Speaker 2: help you lull off to sleep. Most of them will
22:48
Speaker 2: turn off within a period of time twenty thirty minutes
22:50
Speaker 2: or an hour. If they don't, make sure you set
22:53
Speaker 2: a time or two, like shut it off. You can
22:56
Speaker 2: set it for a time because I've had people go, oh,
22:58
Speaker 2: I do all these things, but then I and I'm
23:00
Speaker 2: hearing the music again. Well, while music can put you
23:03
Speaker 2: to sleep, you can also wake you up if your
23:05
Speaker 2: brain gets stimulated by what it's hearing. So keep in mind,
23:09
Speaker 2: too much of a good thing isn't necessarily going to help.
23:12
Speaker 2: But this is the first way to get started right.
23:15
Speaker 2: Get a journal, do some movement, try to work on
23:17
Speaker 2: your sleep. Set the tone with some aromatherapy, a nice
23:22
Speaker 2: light lavender smell, have your room quiet and cool. A
23:26
Speaker 2: lot of people say, well, you know, I scroll on
23:28
Speaker 2: my phone. Probably not a good idea. Some people watch TV,
23:33
Speaker 2: that's probably not a good idea. I have had people,
23:36
Speaker 2: myself included, sometimes if you watch something really mindless or
23:40
Speaker 2: funny or lighthearted, which I tend to enjoy, set the
23:44
Speaker 2: time or on your TV for thirty minutes so that
23:46
Speaker 2: you don't wake up in a weird out of body
23:50
Speaker 2: nightmare and then realize your TV's on and you've been
23:53
Speaker 2: hearing stuff on the TV. So keep that in mind.
23:57
Speaker 2: But let's jump back to a couple of questions, because
23:59
Speaker 2: you've got to have some great questions. I'll give you
24:02
Speaker 2: some info too before we end on the best ways
24:05
Speaker 2: to fuel and how to take the first step a
24:07
Speaker 2: little bit, I just kind of shared some simple stuff.
24:11
Speaker 2: We talked about how much sleep the body needs, generally
24:14
Speaker 2: six to eight hours. We were talking about what's going on,
24:20
Speaker 2: Oh we were going out. How can you actually tell
24:22
Speaker 2: what's going on with yourself in OCD? So let's talk
24:25
Speaker 2: about that, how to figure out what's going on with
24:27
Speaker 2: yourself and then OCD symptoms. OCD generally can be something
24:33
Speaker 2: that is just diagnosed as a person's brain develops and behavior.
24:38
Speaker 2: So you can have the typical you know, my mom
24:41
Speaker 2: has it, my grandma has it. There's family history. You
24:45
Speaker 2: watch the patterns of behavior and people that start to
24:48
Speaker 2: do things like I have this one guy. He has
24:50
Speaker 2: to count everything in eights, he has to separate everything
24:53
Speaker 2: in eights. He has to have all the light switch
24:56
Speaker 2: is turned on before he can start cooking, you know.
25:00
Speaker 2: So OCD is just thoughts that you have that you
25:05
Speaker 2: have to do sequentially or over and over again, like
25:10
Speaker 2: you have to turn the door knob three times before
25:12
Speaker 2: you lock it. Those things can be developed organically and
25:17
Speaker 2: in growing. It's just the way the brain again is wired,
25:20
Speaker 2: and we have to correct the wiring again, correcting OCD
25:25
Speaker 2: with different types of specifically therapy geared straight to OCD
25:31
Speaker 2: and breaking habits, stopping oneself from doing certain things. It
25:35
Speaker 2: takes a lot of hard work to do that, let
25:37
Speaker 2: me tell you. But that's kind of an organic way
25:39
Speaker 2: of OCD. How it develops. It can manifest through different
25:43
Speaker 2: things like anxiety and things that are sort of self soothing. So,
25:48
Speaker 2: for an example, someone who has OCD as a kid
25:51
Speaker 2: may have started with anxiousness and they grab their hair.
25:55
Speaker 2: They start twisting, and every time they're in front of people,
25:58
Speaker 2: they start twirling their hair and they twirl it so
26:00
Speaker 2: much that they toil it and it brakes or they
26:02
Speaker 2: pull it or self soothing to start grabbing their eyebrows
26:06
Speaker 2: and when they're sitting there, they're not even realizing they're
26:08
Speaker 2: pulling out their eyebrows. They pull them out, eyelashes, the
26:11
Speaker 2: same thing. It can be any one of a number
26:14
Speaker 2: of those things, and it develops as a coping, as
26:18
Speaker 2: a soothing for the body to be able to get
26:22
Speaker 2: to the front door, I have to take three steps,
26:26
Speaker 2: spin around, jump on the ceiling, and then touch the
26:30
Speaker 2: door and squeeze the knob like it's a repetitive pattern.
26:34
Speaker 2: So it's the brain's way to try to find self
26:37
Speaker 2: soothing to help it get from A to B to C.
26:40
Speaker 2: And it's just that obsessive type of thinking. It could
26:42
Speaker 2: be compulsiveness, and you can have one or both. It
26:45
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be all obsessions or all compulsions. But
26:49
Speaker 2: that's sort of the organic way that we diagnose people.
26:52
Speaker 2: What I was referring to earlier is sometimes with different
26:56
Speaker 2: mold exposures for whatever reason, the mold toxin when typically
27:03
Speaker 2: through childhood. We found in different studies that kids can
27:06
Speaker 2: develop it and then we test for it, and it's
27:09
Speaker 2: because there's been a mold that has caused this, like
27:12
Speaker 2: I don't want to say the incorrectrum, like a toxin
27:16
Speaker 2: that puts the brain into this overthinking, overthinking, overthinking. So
27:21
Speaker 2: you remove the mold, you treat the child. There's all
27:25
Speaker 2: kinds of homeopathic, different things you can use to work
27:28
Speaker 2: on that. But that's just sort of a different way
27:32
Speaker 2: that some people aren't even aware of. And until I
27:34
Speaker 2: got into psychiatry, I wasn't even really aware that OCD
27:37
Speaker 2: could be brought on by a mold spot. So that's
27:40
Speaker 2: kind of where I was going with that. But with
27:43
Speaker 2: the part with you know what do I have? So
27:46
Speaker 2: many symptoms kind of have overlap and how many things
27:50
Speaker 2: can be the same, you know's the that's the good part.
27:54
Speaker 2: I guess going to somebody to kind of help work
27:57
Speaker 2: through your symptoms instead of sort of self diagnosing, because
28:03
Speaker 2: again the Internet, the world is at our fingertips and
28:07
Speaker 2: people can really have themselves talked into. I mean, you
28:11
Speaker 2: do it with medicine, right, I must have this because
28:13
Speaker 2: I've got chills and a fever and I'm sweating, and
28:17
Speaker 2: good Lord, before you know it, everybody is going to
28:19
Speaker 2: be onto another pandemic of symptoms with this, I know,
28:22
Speaker 2: even what they call the haptovirus or that they're talking
28:25
Speaker 2: about now on the cruise ship. I want everybody to
28:27
Speaker 2: take a big, deep breath and let it out and
28:31
Speaker 2: realize just because you hear of things that may be
28:35
Speaker 2: pertinent to you or how you're feeling doesn't mean there's
28:40
Speaker 2: necessarily anything wrong with you, but if it impacts you,
28:45
Speaker 2: this is where psychiatry comes into place, and this is
28:47
Speaker 2: where mental health awareness and mental health wellness is important,
28:53
Speaker 2: because if things are impacting you to feel good, you know,
28:57
Speaker 2: and you can take all bills or different tests to
29:00
Speaker 2: see you know. Where's your personality? Where's your mental health?
29:03
Speaker 2: Where's these things? If you wake up generally happy, you're
29:07
Speaker 2: a glass half full kind of person, you find joy
29:10
Speaker 2: throughout parts of your day, you enjoy your job. And
29:13
Speaker 2: maybe none of these apply, Maybe all of these are
29:16
Speaker 2: negatives to everything that I'm asking. Then you have to
29:18
Speaker 2: look and say, well, what can I change? Do I
29:21
Speaker 2: want to change anything? Or do I feel paralyzed in changing?
29:26
Speaker 2: And when you diagnose you know, low mood, lethargy, sleeping
29:33
Speaker 2: a lot, low motivation, inability to concentrate. It kind of
29:38
Speaker 2: sounds like depression, right, But that's why I go back
29:41
Speaker 2: to how many hours of sleep are you're getting? Do
29:43
Speaker 2: you go to sleep around the same time every night?
29:46
Speaker 2: Do you sleep through the night? What did you have
29:48
Speaker 2: to start your day? I have patients that have gone
29:51
Speaker 2: till two pm, three pm, seven pm, and they're up
29:55
Speaker 2: at six or seven and they only put water in
29:57
Speaker 2: their body. Now, if you like to asked, I'm not
30:01
Speaker 2: going to disagree with you. However, if you were becoming
30:05
Speaker 2: symptomatic and things aren't working out the way that you
30:07
Speaker 2: think they should and you are struggling, perhaps maybe you
30:11
Speaker 2: need to incorporate something a little earlier in the day.
30:15
Speaker 2: And then that shifts us to goals, right, because are
30:18
Speaker 2: your goals? Well, I want to lose weight, so I'm
30:20
Speaker 2: not going to eat till two o'clock in the afternoon.
30:22
Speaker 2: I will tell you that's probably not the best goal
30:25
Speaker 2: to use to lose weight. So are your goals in alignment?
30:29
Speaker 2: And so with goals being in alignment, you know what
30:33
Speaker 2: is working well for you. This is where the journal
30:35
Speaker 2: comes in handy, because now I would like you, you know,
30:37
Speaker 2: how do you start? How does one person start? And
30:40
Speaker 2: I think that was a question. What's the best way
30:41
Speaker 2: to take the first step? Why don't you write down
30:44
Speaker 2: what's going well? What do you like that you're doing
30:47
Speaker 2: in your life? You know, family, job, exercise, activity, gardening,
30:54
Speaker 2: money in the bank, paying bills off, whatever it is,
30:56
Speaker 2: and then right down next to it, what are you
30:58
Speaker 2: struggling with And if you find that your struggles are
31:01
Speaker 2: impacting you from writing down the positive things that you
31:05
Speaker 2: feel good about, that's the time to start figuring out
31:08
Speaker 2: how do you go after those things to make things
31:11
Speaker 2: more positive? You know, And we could kind of go
31:14
Speaker 2: down that whole rabbit hole of you know, if you
31:16
Speaker 2: really hate your job, generally it's the people you work with,
31:20
Speaker 2: where it might be the work you do, then you've
31:22
Speaker 2: got to set a plan how do I change it.
31:25
Speaker 2: Most of us can't change it overnight. Most of us
31:27
Speaker 2: can't leave a job without having another job. But if
31:30
Speaker 2: that is the real trigger and everything else is okay,
31:32
Speaker 2: then you have to take away the environmental problem. Mother
31:38
Speaker 2: in laws and father in laws are excluded, so if
31:40
Speaker 2: you're not happy with either one of them, you have
31:43
Speaker 2: to learn coping skills on how to deal with the family. Okay,
31:48
Speaker 2: And it could be the same thing. It could be
31:50
Speaker 2: you know, it could be mother, father, it could be
31:53
Speaker 2: son daughter. You know, I have this one patient, her
31:56
Speaker 2: son just she loves him, but oh, it takes everything
31:59
Speaker 2: in And we're working on coping skills because I said,
32:02
Speaker 2: one day, his strong will and his fighting back and
32:05
Speaker 2: his repetitive use of the word no may be a
32:08
Speaker 2: benefit to him when he takes on the world. Okay,
32:12
Speaker 2: so we have to learn how to work with things
32:15
Speaker 2: to manage them, and it's managing your mood, managing your situations.
32:21
Speaker 2: Let's see, I'm looking at the questions here. I don't
32:23
Speaker 2: want to make sure I don't miss them. But finishing
32:25
Speaker 2: up with symptoms. You know, if you find that you
32:27
Speaker 2: have symptoms, symptoms could be you stress, every time you
32:30
Speaker 2: go out, your heart races, your heart flutters. They do overlap,
32:34
Speaker 2: you know, panic and anxiety can all be a part
32:37
Speaker 2: of Depressionssion depressive symptoms can be a part of anxiety.
32:42
Speaker 2: But I also like to say they are symptoms. So
32:45
Speaker 2: it's always good to come in and figure out what
32:47
Speaker 2: those symptoms mean. And here's the other thing too, Symptoms
32:52
Speaker 2: don't always mean it's strictly a psychological diagnosis. Some of
32:57
Speaker 2: your symptoms could be a precursor. I had a woman
32:59
Speaker 2: who came in and she's like, I've got anxiety. It
33:01
Speaker 2: came out of the blue, stress and stress and stress,
33:04
Speaker 2: and we put her on a little zolof she was
33:06
Speaker 2: feeling better. She went in for some testing annual work up,
33:10
Speaker 2: come to find out her heart has had some changes
33:13
Speaker 2: and she's got a block, and she had atrial flutter,
33:15
Speaker 2: and they also found one of her carinary arteries blocked.
33:19
Speaker 2: She had to have open heart surgery. That anxiety was
33:22
Speaker 2: a precursor as soon as she had open heart surgery,
33:26
Speaker 2: which is interesting too. A lot of times people who
33:29
Speaker 2: come out from different surgeries, especially open heart type surgeries,
33:32
Speaker 2: they develop anxiety. Well, in her case, it came as
33:36
Speaker 2: a precursor, and after she had the surgery and her
33:39
Speaker 2: heart was fixed, her anxiety went away and now she's
33:43
Speaker 2: living a wonderful, fun, enjoyable life. But medical situations can
33:49
Speaker 2: cause symptoms that may look psychological, and so that's why
33:52
Speaker 2: it's always important to get your hormone levels checked. And
33:55
Speaker 2: I always will argue with the medical model because I
33:59
Speaker 2: think nobody does it better than specialized hormone therapy treatment
34:04
Speaker 2: that's provided in really the hormone treatment places. I would
34:09
Speaker 2: give a shout out to my friends at Castle Rock
34:11
Speaker 2: Hormone Health. You can look them up there nationwide now.
34:15
Speaker 2: But they optimize you. And if you've got you know,
34:18
Speaker 2: low progesterone or even a low testosterone, those things male
34:22
Speaker 2: or female, you know you optimize your hormones, your mental
34:26
Speaker 2: health might feel better, so we do that too, in
34:28
Speaker 2: conjunction with your mental health. We're always looking at optimizing
34:31
Speaker 2: because hormones, again get released through the brain, and they're
34:35
Speaker 2: actually released primarily in the gut. So if you've got
34:38
Speaker 2: gut issues digestion issues, you may have hormone issues. And
34:42
Speaker 2: if you have those issues and you don't feel good,
34:45
Speaker 2: you're lethargic, you're tired, your mood, your libidos down, your irritable,
34:50
Speaker 2: Let's look at your hormones. So do you see how
34:53
Speaker 2: your motherboard really works to manage your body. And when
34:57
Speaker 2: you've got symptoms, it's really tough to just take yourself
35:01
Speaker 2: down Google and self diagnose. You can, but you might
35:05
Speaker 2: miss something, So you know, that's why I try to
35:08
Speaker 2: help people out to really figure out what's going on.
35:12
Speaker 2: There's a couple questions about do you need to have
35:14
Speaker 2: things to be in a certain place in a certain way,
35:18
Speaker 2: or need to have things your way in particular, I
35:21
Speaker 2: think what you're asking is if it's more related to
35:24
Speaker 2: like the functional stuff of OCD. Generally that's one of
35:27
Speaker 2: the symptoms, Like if you're just methodical that your refrigerator
35:30
Speaker 2: has to have the mannaise on the left and if
35:32
Speaker 2: somebody puts something in on the right and it's not
35:35
Speaker 2: the right place and you're constantly organizing. Yeah, it's a symptom,
35:39
Speaker 2: but it's one symptom. You know, who puts the toilet
35:43
Speaker 2: paper in the bathroom of flipping over and who puts
35:46
Speaker 2: it flipping under right? You know, if you have to
35:48
Speaker 2: have that role flipping under all the time, you know,
35:52
Speaker 2: it's a symptom. But it doesn't mean you have OCD.
35:55
Speaker 2: But there are patterns, there are repetitions, there are things
35:59
Speaker 2: that you like to have certain way. And even though
36:02
Speaker 2: remember this too, if you have OCD tendencies, do they
36:06
Speaker 2: impair and impact your day? They impact your work. I'll
36:11
Speaker 2: give you another really good example. I've got this great
36:13
Speaker 2: young gal. She's I think twenty four twenty six years old,
36:16
Speaker 2: and she came in she just you would look at
36:19
Speaker 2: her thinking she's just got the world as her oyster.
36:22
Speaker 2: She's like five nine, super pretty, life is great, college degree,
36:29
Speaker 2: she manages one of the local service industry places, and
36:34
Speaker 2: she's super successful. Climb in the ladder and her apartment
36:38
Speaker 2: is a disaster. She can't be on time for anything
36:41
Speaker 2: and she thought she had ADHD. So we kind of
36:45
Speaker 2: went through all the questions and I asked her some
36:48
Speaker 2: different things. And while there are certain maybe attention and
36:51
Speaker 2: focus things, she's really OCD And it came out of performance.
36:58
Speaker 2: She's always been one to perform for other people. She goes, well,
37:01
Speaker 2: how is it then that I, you know, I don't
37:03
Speaker 2: have this problem at work? That you know I have
37:06
Speaker 2: this problem you know in my private personal life. She's
37:09
Speaker 2: been thirty minutes driving around trying to find a place
37:11
Speaker 2: that she wanted to get food and just couldn't decide.
37:14
Speaker 2: When you grow up with sort of a perfectionism perfectionistic mindset,
37:18
Speaker 2: sometimes you can be super productive where it matters where
37:22
Speaker 2: people see you. But then in your home life, you
37:25
Speaker 2: know you're living in a little bit of a mess.
37:27
Speaker 2: You're completely disorganized. You just can't be on time for
37:30
Speaker 2: things because there's no no trigger to get you out
37:33
Speaker 2: of the house because you get caught up in things.
37:35
Speaker 2: So do you see how easily symptoms can kind of
37:38
Speaker 2: overlap or change. So just an example, if you guys
37:43

38:29
Speaker 2: all kinds of things that we use full scripts, and
38:31
Speaker 2: you can get onto MAGNOIAB Wellness and on Magnoia B
38:36
Speaker 2: Wellness there's actually a supplement section and you can get
38:39
Speaker 2: twenty percent off of all the different things. And somebody
38:42
Speaker 2: else asked earlier, I'm going to jump to this now
38:44
Speaker 2: because we've got just about ten minutes left to talk
38:47
Speaker 2: about things. But some of the first step stuff i'll
38:51
Speaker 2: kind of go back to. Super important to start writing
38:54
Speaker 2: down what your goals are, writing down what you want
38:57
Speaker 2: to accomplish. You know, if it's losing weight, if it's
39:00
Speaker 2: being more organized, if it's being on time. Then let's
39:03
Speaker 2: look at what are you putting in your body to
39:05
Speaker 2: fuel your brain to be your most best optimized self.
39:09
Speaker 2: I love branch chain amino acids. This is just an example.
39:13
Speaker 2: If you're looking on the screen and you can see it,
39:15
Speaker 2: it's BCAA. This powder has just a ton of really
39:20
Speaker 2: good essential aminos, and aminos are the precursors or the
39:23
Speaker 2: building blocks to protein. So I will still have people
39:26
Speaker 2: tell me I can't put a protein drink in the morning.
39:30
Speaker 2: I just get nauseous. Okay, you can sip it. But
39:34
Speaker 2: you know, the other part to that, too, is if
39:36
Speaker 2: you've trained your body not to take in food in
39:38
Speaker 2: the morning, your body's going to work with you to
39:41
Speaker 2: learn to adapt, and so if it hasn't had fuel
39:45
Speaker 2: in the morning, it may take a few mornings. But
39:48
Speaker 2: let's start easy, right. You grab the water bottle, you
39:51
Speaker 2: grab the branch chain aminos. You take a half a
39:54
Speaker 2: scoop to a scoop. You know, the label will tell
39:57
Speaker 2: you to use a scoop or more, but some of
40:00
Speaker 2: them are pretty sweet. I just like the taste. If
40:03
Speaker 2: you put a little bit in the water bottle, shake
40:05
Speaker 2: it up, it stays liquefied. It is a far more
40:08
Speaker 2: nutritious drink other than just water. I mean, water's great,
40:12
Speaker 2: and you do need water. You need half your body
40:16
Speaker 2: weight in ounces of fluid daily. Keep that in mind.
40:20
Speaker 2: So if you're one hundred pounds, you need fifty ounces
40:23
Speaker 2: of water. You can do the math from there. But
40:26
Speaker 2: if you put branch chain aminos in, you are fueling
40:29
Speaker 2: your brain just like you're filling your gas tank with
40:32
Speaker 2: high octane fuel, and your brain is going to respond.
40:37
Speaker 2: That is indirectly going to help with cognition and focus.
40:41
Speaker 2: It's going to help to lift your mood. So this
40:43
Speaker 2: is one of the first things you can do. Right
40:45
Speaker 2: get some BCAA. If you want to get them on
40:48
Speaker 2: our site, you just go over to magnoiabewellness dot com
40:52
Speaker 2: and you go to the supplement section and then when
40:55
Speaker 2: you get into the website, you put your address and
40:57
Speaker 2: info in. Then you go and type in branch chain
40:59
Speaker 2: amino acid. Since you can also go to Amazon, you
41:02
Speaker 2: can also go to Walmart in a sporting goods section,
41:05
Speaker 2: not where all the health food is. Sporting goods section
41:08
Speaker 2: is where they have the BCA powder. Start there. Moving
41:12
Speaker 2: through your day, let's look at protein. There you need half,
41:18
Speaker 2: you need your body weight and grams your goal body weight.
41:21
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll do the math. If you're one hundred pounds,
41:24
Speaker 2: you need one hundred grams of protein a day. Now
41:26
Speaker 2: if you are two hundred pounds and you want to
41:28
Speaker 2: be one hundred and fifty, then you need one hundred
41:31
Speaker 2: and fifty grams of protein a day. There are so
41:34
Speaker 2: many different kinds of proteins out there. I particularly like
41:37
Speaker 2: this new one. It's a clearer. I get most of
41:41
Speaker 2: my proteins through nutri Shop, but you can get really
41:44
Speaker 2: good proteins. There's one that I've gotten on our full
41:47
Speaker 2: script site. I'll have to bring that in next time.
41:49
Speaker 2: But there's so many good ones out there. But I
41:52
Speaker 2: like them because if you go to a nutri shop store,
41:54
Speaker 2: they let you taste the product first. But this one's
41:57
Speaker 2: clear and it actually comes out when you mix it.
41:59
Speaker 2: For those of you that can't put something in your
42:01
Speaker 2: stomach in the morning and it makes you nauseous, right,
42:05
Speaker 2: I get it, But I also don't want you starving
42:07
Speaker 2: your brain. So we got to find something, and we
42:10
Speaker 2: need to find something that's nutrient dense. But this one
42:14
Speaker 2: is a It's only twenty grams of protein, so it's
42:17
Speaker 2: not like some of my others that are forty grams.
42:19
Speaker 2: But you really only get the protein. You don't get
42:22
Speaker 2: a lot of fillers. You get a little sodium, a
42:24
Speaker 2: little phosphorus, but you're not getting junk and the cheaper
42:29
Speaker 2: brand proteins. Some of the proteins you really got to
42:31
Speaker 2: read the label. But start your morning with branch chain aminos,
42:35
Speaker 2: start your morning with the protein drink, and I'm pretty
42:38
Speaker 2: quick and easy. You know. You can all go to
42:40
Speaker 2: the trouble of doing the blender and cut fresh strawberries
42:44
Speaker 2: and bananas if you have the time. But if you
42:46
Speaker 2: want to stick to something you really need to train
42:50
Speaker 2: your body to get in the habit. Get one of
42:52
Speaker 2: those pill boxes, line up your vitamins for the week,
42:57
Speaker 2: your protein drink, your branch chain aminos, a couple of
42:59
Speaker 2: bums of water, and just get yourself to grab and
43:02
Speaker 2: go in the morning so you start filling your tank
43:05
Speaker 2: throughout the day with good stuff. Okay, so those are
43:08
Speaker 2: the top two things for right now, the branch chain
43:10
Speaker 2: aminos and protein powder. Start the morning off with that.
43:14
Speaker 2: Do it for five days and tell me the next
43:16
Speaker 2: time we're on how you feel. If you just do
43:18
Speaker 2: it for a week. It's going to be amazing. The
43:21
Speaker 2: whole part of mental wellness is, like I told you,
43:24
Speaker 2: it starts with you. So if you really want to
43:27
Speaker 2: do something to feel better, I can wish it to
43:30
Speaker 2: you all the day is long. I can suggest it
43:33
Speaker 2: to you. I can even tell you you've got to
43:36
Speaker 2: do it, but if you don't, it's really up to you.
43:41
Speaker 2: The other link we have up there too, I do
43:43
Speaker 2: enjoy using these cell patches. It's just another way to
43:49
Speaker 2: add fuel and energy to your body. This particular one
43:53
Speaker 2: is glucthion and it's super simple. You can get them
43:57
Speaker 2: on our website Ignoing. You sell patch dot com. And
44:02
Speaker 2: again you know it's not a one size fits all,
44:04
Speaker 2: but you take the patch, you put it in right
44:07
Speaker 2: up here on your upper body, either front or back.
44:10
Speaker 2: How you stick it on, and what it does is
44:12
Speaker 2: through light radiation. Radiation light as it radiates through the patch,
44:18
Speaker 2: because there's crystals in there, it allows your body to
44:22
Speaker 2: produce glucathion. And so each one is designated for something different.
44:26
Speaker 2: We have an energy one, we've got the glucathion one.
44:30
Speaker 2: We've got these two. They're called X forty nine and
44:32
Speaker 2: X thirty nine and you just pop them on the
44:35
Speaker 2: back of your neck, right at the base of your shoulder,
44:38
Speaker 2: and they really do recharge you. I notice when I
44:41
Speaker 2: wear them, I feel really good, and if I stop
44:43
Speaker 2: for a couple of days or a week, I'm like,
44:45
Speaker 2: what is going on? I had just forgotten for a
44:48
Speaker 2: couple of days to put the patches on. If you
44:50
Speaker 2: need to cleanse your body. If you want to really
44:52
Speaker 2: jump start your body, you know, get going, get the
44:55
Speaker 2: branch chain, get the protein, get a patch. We talk
44:59
Speaker 2: on this know a lot about supplements, and we also
45:02
Speaker 2: on our prior shows. If you ever want to tune
45:04
Speaker 2: in and get more information in detail, some of the
45:06
Speaker 2: shows I highlight specific supplements that you can use if
45:10
Speaker 2: any of you are dealing with anxiety or ocd inosctinal powder. Oh,
45:16
Speaker 2: they wouldn't let me get through the whole show. You
45:19
Speaker 2: gotta love your Amazon guy, so we'll try it. Inocetole
45:23
Speaker 2: for those stressful moments. You can put that in your protein.
45:27
Speaker 2: Drink this one. You use a scoop twice a day
45:31
Speaker 2: and inocetol. I get this one from doctor Hardy. I
45:35
Speaker 2: often recommend his products because he's a psychiatrist. It helps
45:40
Speaker 2: me to work with people to get people off medications.
45:43
Speaker 2: And while I'm not really highlighting everything today, inocetol for
45:48
Speaker 2: anxiety is phenomenal. You've got to be taking it in
45:51
Speaker 2: your drinks for probably about two three weeks, but you'll
45:54
Speaker 2: start feeling the difference. You'll be a little calmer, a
45:56
Speaker 2: little less stressed. And if you're gonna do the Anasa satol,
46:01
Speaker 2: we would be remiss without saying to do the Daily Essentials.
46:04
Speaker 2: So these are just toolkits from what I personally use.
46:09
Speaker 2: I love the Daily Essentials because it's a powder. I
46:11
Speaker 2: am not a big pill person. So if I start
46:15
Speaker 2: my day with protein, I have another water bottle full
46:18
Speaker 2: of Doctor Hardy's Daily Essentials and I put an acetol
46:23
Speaker 2: in there, and then throughout the day I add my
46:26
Speaker 2: branch chain and a couple of bottles of water. I'm
46:28
Speaker 2: already up to five or six bottles of fluid a day.
46:31
Speaker 2: I usually try to get to seven or eight a day,
46:33
Speaker 2: and I'm set to go, and I've hydrated, I'm nutrient full,
46:38
Speaker 2: and my brain really feels good and I don't have
46:41
Speaker 2: those afternoon slumps. If you go onto Hardynutritionals dot com,
46:46
Speaker 2: I think We had it at the bottom of the
46:48
Speaker 2: page a while ago. But it's hardy hr D Y
46:51
Speaker 2: nutritionals and U t R I O N A l
46:56
Speaker 2: S dot com. Type in magnoliat at the end when
47:00
Speaker 2: you check out, and you'll get fifteen percent off. So
47:03
Speaker 2: super important. I didn't get a chance to get into
47:06
Speaker 2: a lot of the books I wanted to share for
47:07
Speaker 2: Mental Health Week or Mental Health Month, but I will
47:10
Speaker 2: next week. I will tell you if you are struggling
47:13
Speaker 2: and worried about the world around your people or anything else,
47:17
Speaker 2: grab mel Robbin's book Let Them. It's a quick, easy read.
47:22
Speaker 2: I love her stuff. I might try to get her
47:24
Speaker 2: on the show one of these days. Wouldn't that be fun?
47:27
Speaker 2: She probably teach me a thing or two. But I
47:30
Speaker 2: just want you all to recognize and realize while we
47:33
Speaker 2: are in a time of our lives with just so
47:36
Speaker 2: much technology, turmoil, personal stress, you know, inner angst. We worry,
47:42
Speaker 2: we fret, we get stressed, we get low, we get unmotivated.
47:46
Speaker 2: Now's the time to take care of you. So try
47:49
Speaker 2: to use May as the month to jumpstart. Grab some
47:52
Speaker 2: of the things I talked about, Start writing down your goals.
