• 1:05
  Speaker 2: She's very dedicated to helping clients achieve healthier lifestyles through holistic approaching.

  Speaker 2: She has two brothers two brothers, correct, three, sorry, I knew that wasn't right Three brothers in the Marines and Gina does all kinds of stuff with Project ReFit and so on.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: So today we're going to be talking about technology using Reverie, think30, and Water Lampa apps.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: So we're going to dive into that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: That's going to be fun.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: So if you haven't downloaded them, download them now so that you can play along with us at the same time.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I think that's enough to get us started Real quick.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: if you want to tell us a, little bit about yourself for people that aren't familiar with you yet.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Everybody's health is a little bit different.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: So when you come see someone like me, we're going to get in deep, we're going to be kind of like a detective and we're going to figure it out exactly what's going on with you, so that way we can have a clearer path to get you towards your goals of either weight loss or just feeling more energy, getting rid of that brain fog Women with hormones right now.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: So that's what I specifically do.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Awesome, awesome.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So if you want, we can just go ahead and dive in.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I'm really just the tech guy for Gina today.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm real excited about this, and we live in a technical society.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: We always have technology around us, we're always using technology, we love technology.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: So the first one I want to jump into and I have, let's say, a handful of these apps that I love to use my clients.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: That either keeps them one.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I wanted to make sure that they kind of meet the qualifications for my clients, which is one.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: It's got to keep them in that path of what we have set forth for them for their journey.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Second of all, it has to be something that they like to do.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: It's got to be kind of fun, right, because otherwise they're not going to jump on an app.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Third, for me, I'm science-based, right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I just don't want to hear foo-foo philosophy, like.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I want to know specifically does it work, how it's working and how is this helping people?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: So that has to hit a criteria for me too.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And all of these three that we are going to be going into today, they hit all those buckets and so I'm really excited to jump into them.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So that first one, and if you want me to, I will share my screen because I know a lot of people are watching live, and for those that are not in the podcast.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I'll try to articulate as much as I can to kind of get you through and what we're doing.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: So I know down here I have to share, so just give me a quick second to do so, absolutely.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And Gina, while you're pulling that up again, I'm just tech guy today.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: So on the top right-hand corner of your screen there's a blue QR code, so please scan that if you're listening to the podcast on podcast forums.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Later on it's empowerperformancestrategiescom Again, empowerperformancestrategiescom.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: There you can find other podcasts that we've done.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You have resources of books I've written.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: We have Facebook groups for both veterans and veterans families.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Reach out, be connected in this community, really trying to get this out there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So please join us.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: And I see Gina has her stuff up.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So I'm all done.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going to play again tech guy.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: We'll bounce in and have some questions and her stuff up.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm all done.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I'm going to.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I'm going to play again Tech guy.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: We'll.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: We'll bounce in and have some questions and talk about stuff, but I'm super excited and we're trying to keep as much time as possible rolling for the apps themselves.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: So, gina, I'm going to pull this up and you do your thing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: So you know, first of all, I am not anywhere, I don't have the credentials to know a whole lot about self-hypnosis.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: But what I do love about this app, this Reverie app, especially for clients that have a lot of them that come to me with a lot of things like for I'll actually read them off to you because on this app it has all of these different categories that when you get on here, if you want to work towards, you know, being a little bit better in one of these categories, you can pick one.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I'm also going to kind of show you to how you can find where you should start, which is great.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: And so it's either like OK, they're sleep better, relieve stress and anxiety, improve focus.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: You can tackle a habit that you have Eat intuitively.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: That's a great one.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I love my clients and this is a new one I just actually saw Boost your golf performance.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: So there you go Manage pain, deal with a loss, because that could be very detrimental, as we know, to our health If you want to start exercising stronger and you want to overcome that fear of flying.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: So those are the choices that you have in this app.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: There is a free version if you just want to try it, but I definitely recommend that you go ahead and do the paid version.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It's for the full year and you get to experience all of those benefits when you go onto the app.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was yeah, and so, as you, as you can see here too, this was co -founded by the psychiatrist, david Spiegel, and he has over 40 years of clinical experience himself and all this research.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: And I would also suggest to you, before you download it on your phone, that you could go to this website, which is reveriecom.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: It's a great way that you can go in here and you can kind of explore yourself and see what's going on.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And I just wanted to highlight on some of these really great um, you know topics that they have for you here, but as you can scroll, as I just went through, they have all of these categories that you can go through.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Um, it also talks about things that they've noticed.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, andrew Huberman is another big, huge fan of mine too, as well.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Love him.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: And what I also like when we go back to talking about the science.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: If you click up here, it says scientific research.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Now, this is what I want to know.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, I want to know specifically how is hypnosis helping, when is it going to help and how is it going to benefit me?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Hypnosis helping where is it going to help and how is it going to benefit me?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: So, as you can go down here too, they have all of this clinical research that you can click on and you can go through all of these papers yourself, dive into it and get that scientific knowledge on all about the hypnosis and about the app and why it was created to help, and all about the hypnosis and about the app and why it was created to help.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Wow, this is a great app.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I love this.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I looked at it a little bit already because I was all excited, but this really is a great app that you're bringing to us.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's great too, because when we talk about to exit out really quick for a second, when we talk about to, we're transitioning right out from the military into, um, civilian life.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Right, we're going to be experiencing.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe our sleep isn't going to be great, maybe we are going to be feeling a little bit of anxiety.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: An app is a great way, because maybe you're not sure yet if you do want to get help, right.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: But this is, this is a good first start to see that if it's something very small that you can control on your own to get you through.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: And I actually, yeah, and I always use everything too before I give it to my clients for myself, I use it for sleep and I continue to use it for sleep.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I am a year purchaser because what happens is, as I go through different seasons, right, we have our professional brain and then I call what we have is our I'm a mom, so I have a mom brain, and so sometimes at the very end of the night, it's like my mom brain is just not shutting off and I've got my checklist and it's hard for me sometimes to shut that down.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So instead of taking, you know, pills and medications, I love to do the hypnosis, because it does put me in that state of relaxation.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: It helps me push everything out of the way and it allows me to get into that deep sleep and that restorative sleep that I want going to bed.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: So that way I feel more refreshed and I don't have some of that brain fog that usually comes with when you don't have good quality sleep.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's a big thing for veterans.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it's for everybody nowadays, you know, but especially veterans and their families.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: That's key, big thing for veterans.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Well, it's for everybody nowadays, you know, but especially veterans and their families.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: That's key because if you're not getting that fantastic sleep and enough of it, it's going to impact you in so many different ways.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: So fantastic.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And just so you know and everybody watching, I'm taking notes.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: So it's not that I'm trying to be rude, I'm literally taking notes as we go through this.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: So please, gina, continue.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And the last thing I want to add with that app which is really nice, that I like that they added was you can go in and you can take a test and it's going to ask you a certain amount of questions, scientific questions, right to really get behind the root of what's going on, and then it's going to suggest for you a path that you should take, which I really love yeah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And it's fantastic, and you know the thing, gina, and again, I'm going to keep this short because I know we got a lot to talk about, but there's so much information out there from so many people and you don't know what's what to really listen to, and when you're talking about the scientific facts, it changes everything right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: It does for me and obviously for you as well.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: You're very similar.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Find the real information, you know.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: So I love the science.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And so the second one right is going to be think dirty, all right, not that kind of dirty.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: All right, get clean here.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: This is a family show.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Don't make me change my settings on my podcast.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: So we're going to get into this one.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: This is my second favorite that I use with all my clients and I really urge them to use it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: You can download this through any you know, whatever app store that you have on your phone.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Chemicals and toxins it's hard to sometimes understand what is good for us to not only eat but put on our skin, and this is a great app that kind of eliminates that confusion for you and puts it all in a nice readable, digestible, understandable space to where you can get that information.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: So I say it's my, it's like my biggest friend at the, at the store, because when I go in, especially when there's new products that are coming out because I'll even tell you to, as a nutritionist and knowing what some of these keywords of like good ingredients and bad ingredients are, they're getting really clever and they're always constantly coming out with new names and it's hard to keep up when there's like over 70,000 different types of ingredients.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: That's a hard list to remember.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: So this app is going to make it super easy for you when you download it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: There is a free version.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: But I would also say, if you're somebody that really wants to get into understanding the components of what's in the ingredients of all the products that you're using.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: It is well worth it to just spend that little small amount to have it for the full year.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: When you also spend to have for the full year, you can also, if you did scan something, because up here there's a scanner, you would click scan.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: It comes with a barcode.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: You can scan a product and then, after you scan the product, what it's going to do is, as you can see over here on the left side, you see different here.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Red is dangerous, yellow is in between, where it's clean and kind of dirty.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: There's not a full amount of science on it yet and then green means it's good to go.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: It is safe for you to put on your skin or to ingest.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So that's what's really nice Over here.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: You'll see this number down there, eight, where it tells you Now the higher up the number the more toxic it is Okay and, as you can see red here, that is showing that this ingredient has a lot of toxic ingredients in it, so you might want to choose and go with something else that doesn't have as many.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I love how they assassinate complexity on this.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Yes yes, also, what they do is here, too.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: If you're shopping and you're like, okay, I just want some clean products, I don't want to be going through going to Target, cvs and scanning a bunch of products, I just want something now I can start using, it will suggest for you.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Up here, at the very top, you can click on products that they have already scanned, went through and are safe to use, that you can can browse and then purchase.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Well, so nice and convenient.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Um, what is something else that I love that is on here?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Um, so, again too, like things that, like I viewed before.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: It has a list for you before.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: As you can see, I have scrolled and clicked on many things hey, jenna, hang on there one second, can you?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: put that back up, please.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, can you see it here, or is it in there?
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I lose you, I'm not hearing you, but I think I'll keep going.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I took myself off the screen.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: You're good.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, no, it's fine.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: So like this one too.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I'll give you an example, because, like for my son, you know, I wanted to give him a deodorant but I didn't want to fill him with something that has a ton of aluminum in it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: So I was scanning a few of these.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: One was Tom's, which is a brand for men and, as you can see here in the corner, it has a three, which means it has three ingredients, or actually, sorry, it has nine ingredients in it, which I'll show you.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: And the whole thing, if you can see, is all green, which means all of those ingredients in there are considered okay.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: So it's nice that you can see it is all green, which means all of those ingredients in there are considered okay.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: So it's nice that you can see that that in there it also will show you the paid version.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: If you want to click on the ingredients list to exactly know what those ingredients are, they do, they lay it out here for you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: And then here's another great thing if you want to go even deeper, you can click on the ingredient and it'll give you the name, the usage, the explanation, everything that you need to know in there about that ingredient.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: It really is.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: So let me try to go back to something actually that we should watch out for.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, I was scanning all the Mr Teal stuff just to kind of see, because I always have to watch my skin.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I used to have eczema before this journey of functional nutrition.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I don't anymore, but just like a light switch right, I've turned eczema off.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean that if I go back to regular ways of using certain things, it doesn't mean that I can't turn it back on.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: So I always have to be very cautious of what I'm doing and that's why I love, love this app and be to be able to scan products.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: So if I go here with this with Mr Teals, it's showing out of the 20 ingredients in there, there's 13 that are clean, two of them are half and half one is dirty.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: So then if I want to say, well, what's the dirty one in there, I can click on that ingredients list and it'll pop up and it's showing that it's the fragrance that they use that was making it dirty.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: And then you can click on it again just to see a little bit more.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Why is that?
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: And it goes into the explanation of why it's dirty and considered high on the list.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: You know, I love that, gina as well, because you know, just like the show.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, I always tell everybody do your own research, don't just take someone's opinion as it's, you know fact, but figure out what's good for you, right?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I love that they give you all that extra information.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic it is.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: And I feel like I feel more empowered having something like this because, again it's it's telling me why, yeah, you know.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: And then I can read it for myself, and then I can go, oh, wow, or I didn't know that they were putting those two chemicals together, like what that's?
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: That's formaldehyde, what you know?
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's glue.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: So you'll start to read these and you're it starts to make you go what?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: No, I don't want to put glue on my skin.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: And Gina, this is.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: This also is for food.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: So when you're looking at you know foods.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Half the time you don't know what it is right.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: You're reading that ingredients list and I always say if you can't read the ingredients list, you're not, shouldn't be eating it, right so when you would?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But now you will know what it is, and that's the amazing thing.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: And the food companies are always changing the names of things to try to sneak it through the FDA, et cetera.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So it's a great, great app.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I'm really glad you brought this to us.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, and with your purchase, you have to know that with your purchase, you're not only supporting the app, but what you're also doing is you are paying for that support.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Doing is you are paying for that support so, as new products come in and people are scanning them and they're not showing up because you have the ability, when you scan these, to upload a product that might not already be in the system.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: So with your purchase, you're supporting those type of products, so you can see the ones that you're using and would like to know more information on of having it put on the app.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: So when you do it, they literally say, okay, people want to know about this, and so they care, which is awesome.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: And then they actually do the research and they look it up.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yep, yep, and I constantly do that.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: If I scan something that's not on there, it takes a quick second.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: You take a picture of it, you send it in and then they get that information and then you know.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: You just wait and you can check back later and see if that's one of the ones that they picked to work on next to adding.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: But there's so many in there Super, super helpful, you know, especially, like I said, if you're really looking to protect yourself against all of these biotoxins, this is the perfect way to start, is right here with this app.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: And don't get Gina talking about that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: She just got a new certification.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: She's awesome.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about what's coming with that new certification.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I am too, I am too, and so then the last one so we can get in there, and this is.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I saved the fun one for last because we got to have some fun right In life, so I'm going to share my screen again with you guys, and this one is Water Llama.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: This is so cute and it's really perfect for this time of summer, because we forget, sometimes in the summer, just even going out and coming in.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Depending on where you live in the United States, it could be hotter in some areas, and so we have to make sure we are being extra hydrated during this time, when it's in summer, and, as you can see, it's really cute, it's really fun.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Another thing that I love, and that we do love as neuro encoders, is celebration right, because through celebration, that brings positive reinforcement and with positive reinforcement, it will help you continue to take that action right.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: So this is it.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: It's really cute.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: A couple of things that I like here, and you can get the whole family involved.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: So this is why it's fun.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I couple of things that I like here, and you can get the whole family involved.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: So this is why it's fun.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: I can show you on my phone in a second, because I do have water.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I've been drinking my water, making sure that I do.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: You can turn on notifications so it will remind you.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: It has cute little reminders telling you that it's time to drink something.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: And as you go throughout the day this you know, and all the pictures are different.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: So every day it's something different.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: But as you're choosing between water if you even have juice, that's considered a liquid your coffee, your green tea, even if you have pop, it'll help you track and, as you can see, the color starts to fill and then you can see by the colors listed down at the very bottom, how much of each you've been drinking all day too as well, which is kind of nice, you know.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe you can look and go oh my God, I've been having a little too much coffee today.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: I better up on the water instead next time, and it'll give you that nice reading, which is really fun.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Very cool, um, gina, so I've not gotten into this one yet.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I will, but I have not yet.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: So, um, I'm honest.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Um, does it go by like the weight of the person Is there, is that, do they give you what you should be drinking, et cetera.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, you can.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: You can add it in there and you can add what your goal is.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Awesome, yes.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: And what's?
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: What's really fun too I've done this with clients before as well is they have these fun little challenges.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: They're 10 days just to get you drinking more.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Cause I think like there's a difference in in on people when it comes to drinking your water.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: You've got your people that have their, their Stanley's right.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: They bring them everywhere.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: They're so good about drinking.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Um, then you have some people that are like, if they do, they do, if they don't, they don't.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: They really think about it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I'm conscious of it, but I'm not the kind of person where I have to have extra stuff to carry.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: So I kind of really like this app because it gives me a little bit of reminders of when it's time to drink, Because I'm just not the kind of person that carries around my water bottle all day long.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: That's just.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: That's just not me.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: So this is a great fun way, but there's more to read here and then I'll stop sharing, because I did want to show you on my phone, kind of, what it looks like.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: It's really cute, Trina before you do a question for you.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: So I mean kids can get on this app.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: It's totally great for kids as well.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Obviously, it looks like they've made it fun.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: It's very fun and colorful.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, let's be honest, kids are tough to get to drink water, right, but if you make it fun and celebrate and, again, using those neurocoding skills, it changes it for them.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: It's amazing how, when you make it fun and you celebrate and dance and do those kinds of things, how much it will help to have your children and yourself, of course want to drink more water.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Right, they're going to be going.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: It's not time yet.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Can I drink water, you know?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Kind of thing?
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Well, so try that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fun to have to get on and, you know, subconsciously too, bright colors, things that give us enjoyment, right, are going to be triggers for us to keep going.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Keep going.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: So like for, as you can see, for me today, I'm gonna get in there a little bit more.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: You can see I have had some coffee, right, because it's that's the color of coffee.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I have my coffee today, and I've also had some water.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: So you can see, I'm live and I'm active, and it'll keep filling up as I go.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: It is really cute too.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Um, let's see if I can again.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: There's all the different challenges that you can do.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: If you want to do that for 10 days, All right.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Gina, what challenges are you doing?
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: You know what I did a challenge a while ago.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I haven't done one since, but now that we're talking about it, this might be a fun one to do with the kids, especially now, with it again, like I said, being summer, we're all outside and so it might be a fun one.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: And what they do, I can't show it on here, but as you progress and you get to certain, you know what do you want to call it?
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Ounces throughout your day, they celebrate with you.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: They send you little celebrations that encourage you.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: They tell you to keep going.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: After I added my water, I got a cute little.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: It like bursted into a heart and it had flowers and it was like keep going.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: You know you're almost there and so it's just.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of fun, it's a lot of fun.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: It's nice to get a little pat on the back from an app, and I love it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: That's fantastic.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I really am glad you brought this you know up to want to play with this, these apps, they're fantastic.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Thank you so question four is there anything else you want to go through about the apps before I ask you some other questions?
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, actually I did.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I just want to say all three of these two.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: We want to make things convenient and I really think that that's what these apps will do for you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: They'll bring some convenience into your life.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: How can and I'm not going, I'm just questions I have.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: You know how we roll here, it's just organic.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: So what are some of the main benefits that you see by using these applications, besides assassinating complexity and so on?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: What do you see with your clients and again for vets and families?
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah Well, you know what like I would say with reverie for myself, like when I was using it and going through sleep this can let you know if you really have a deeper problem, so like if you're going through and it's not working, you're not really sleeping, you know, then maybe you're like you know, now I need to seek help somewhere else.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: So that can.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: That can be a great tool to see if you need to go any further or going deeper with some of these these things that you're experiencing.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: The second thing is it empowers you.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I love, love, love, think dirty.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I love, love, love, think Dirty.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I love using it when I go in the store because, you know, I want to be here a very long time and I want my kids to be here a very long time and I want everyone to be healthy.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: So it's just a great way.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: And you know what, too?
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: When you have kids that might be fighting you over something or they want to use something, it's a great way to scan it and show them and say, hey, listen, let's compare you want to get both of those.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Let's take a look at it let's scan both and let's go over it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Let's compare.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fantastic, yeah, yeah, and water llama you want to?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, water is one of the most important things we do for ourselves.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I want to say on there too, if you do want to do it with your kids, this would be a great way.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Like, maybe you have kids or teenagers that don't want to drink water or they're drinking, they're going too much to the Starbucks with their friends and those kind of things, and you might want them to start drinking a little bit more water.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: You could have them do this app and they can take a look for themselves to see exactly what they're drinking.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Am I drinking too much?
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Because it shows you down here, you know, at the very bottom, those different types of liquids, and so then they can see for themselves like where they're falling short.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Right, you know, as a part of it, it might maybe also create a, create a challenge with you.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Know, hey, if you do it this long or whatever the case may be, sorry, it's a coach coaching me as long.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: What you know, we go to the movies or something as a family, or you know something might be really cool as well, awesome.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: So anything else on that you want to share?
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: No, I think that's good.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Really, I just wanted to bring convenience for everybody.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: We all use technology, we all have our phones with us, and these are just three great apps that are part of my group of favorites that I have.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it, I love it and again, thank you for sharing those.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: So, as far as nutrition, water, eating, the right things, obviously exercise.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Let's talk just briefly because of course, we're almost out of time.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Thank goodness you're on so much so you know what are the key things for mental, mindset and so on, that these really tie together and really help our veterans and, of course, their families.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I know when you're transitioning, you're already going through a lot.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of extra stress and pressure, and so using an app like this could not only give you that convenience of taking some of that load off, but it'll also help you with.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: You know, we want mental performance to be at its best and its peak and, again, that's why I think Think Dirty is just such a great app, because we don't realize that our skin is an organ and it communicates to the rest of our body and if we're putting in these biotoxins, we are going to have you know, we're going to have mood swings, our hormones might be thrown off, you know.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: And there's a whole other, whole other host of things like inflammation Like me, it was eczema whole other host of things like inflammation like me, it was eczema.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: So I really think that, you know, being able to use something like this is a great way to just put you on a better path and that transition, so that way, you know, we can live healthier and better.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Amen, and make it easy and make it easy.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I know we talked, we are talking a lot about the skin.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: So what are some of the things that and a lot of people aren't aware of this?
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying everybody, I'm not making a blatant statement by any means, but I know, I've done some research and obviously you know this.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: So what are some of the things that happen when you're putting the wrong stuff on your skin?
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Obviously you can have irritants and eczema and those kinds of things, but there's some deeper things that can happen as well.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to kind of think of it as is.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Our body is like a spider web.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Ok, there's so many different lines right in the spider web, but at the core they're all connected the same thing.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Like the skin, when it comes in it might affect a certain area, but really it's going to affect the full, the whole body, because everything is connected.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Um, so when it comes in, like, let's just use like an example, okay, let's talk about eczema.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: If you're the kind of person that puts some kind of a chemical on your skin mine, for one thing, I always have to watch fragrances.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: That is a.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: That's a high marker for me.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I could put put a fragrance on.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: First of all, it starts to itch.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: That's a sign.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: After itching, sometimes I could break out in bumps Recently, which happened to me.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, it was miserable.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: I changed laundry detergent.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I thought, because it was from the same company that I was using.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I'm like you know what?
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Let me just switch.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: It's on sale right now.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: No, it didn't work for me because it had that one chemical, the higher amount of formaldehyde in it, and it just ripped through my whole system, from my chin all the way down.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: I broke out because what happened was my body went into.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: It's like when you get stung by a bee and right, and then your body you, you know wants to go in anaphylactic kind of mode to fight off that sting.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: That's the same thing that happened with me when I had that laundry detergent all over my body.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if my immune system went hyperactive and it caused me to break out everywhere, and so then I actually had to go in to see a doctor because it calmed that down.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I did need a steroid to calm that part of my immune system down so that way I could go back to a baseline of self-regulation.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: So yeah, absolutely.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny that people don't really realize and they start itching and they just think it's almost having allergies that day.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: But then if you do and look back, oh, I changed laundry soap, I changed my soap, I changed a lotion I'm putting on my skin.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: You know those kinds of things and there's some of the number ones that cause issues for people.
• 31:02
