0:33
media weight loss journey
0:34
special edition.
0:36
What the hell just happened.
0:39
We're going to talk about
0:41
kind of what happened over
0:42
the last couple weeks,
0:45
and kind of see how
0:49
nutrition can play a role,
0:52
and all that kind of stuff so.
0:56
I am still pretty much under the weather.
0:58
I was just telling Cheryl
1:00
just to get down here to
1:01
kind of hook everything up
1:03
and get everything going.
1:05
takes a lot out of me and
1:08
this is probably the last
1:10
show I'm going to do until
1:11
I get some kind of relief
1:14
or some answers or anything
1:16
like that um until we so we
1:19
can move forward but I want
1:20
this to be interactive I
1:22
want you guys in the chat
1:23
to ask questions I'll
1:24
answer them to the best of
1:25
my ability um with that
1:29
I'll turn it over to share
1:30
and kind of lead the discussion
1:33
Yeah.
1:33
Well, really,
1:36
have you recapped anything
1:37
from what's happened in
1:39
terms of your hospital or anything?
1:42
I'm sure you guys didn't
1:43
have a roundtable this week,
1:44
but I know you had a couple
1:45
of other podcasts.
1:47
So why don't you just start
1:49
with what prompted you to
1:51
go to the hospital?
1:53
Well,
1:54
I think we go back to the last time
1:56
we did a show when I went
1:58
to my family doctor that day.
2:00
Yep.
2:00
That was last week, last Thursday,
2:01
last Tuesday.
2:02
So last Tuesday,
2:03
I went to my family doctor.
2:07
That is where he diagnosed
2:08
me with a lung infection.
2:12
But he didn't run any tests.
2:14
He didn't.
2:18
So through this whole thing,
2:19
I got really pissed off at
2:22
the way my family doctor
2:24
has been treating me.
2:26
And, um, when I went into his office,
2:29
like I was in full blown asthma attack,
2:32
could barely breathe.
2:34
The only thing like they
2:35
really said to me is put on
2:37
this mask because people are,
2:39
are scared of you.
2:42
COVID.
2:43
I'm dying.
2:44
I don't know who's mask on.
2:45
I can't breathe, but.
2:48
And so I can't breathe.
2:50
So put something over your mouth.
2:52
It just was dumb.
2:53
Um,
2:56
But anyway, he diagnosed me with that,
2:59
threw some prescriptions at
3:00
me where one was a steroid,
3:06
one was an antibiotic.
3:08
And with that, I came home.
3:12
We had our show.
3:13
I had my breakdown.
3:16
Things weren't going well.
3:18
But then I started to feel a
3:19
little bit better.
3:20
The steroids or whatever did
3:22
what they did.
3:24
And then on that Friday,
3:26
things started to slide and
3:30
pretty much went off a
3:30
cliff by Saturday morning.
3:33
And I could barely breathe.
3:37
And my wife's like,
3:39
we got to go to the hospital, to the ER.
3:42
So we walked outside.
3:47
I tried to get in the car,
3:48
had a full-blown panic attack,
3:50
which I've never had in my life.
3:53
I could not get into my car.
3:56
I talked for weeks about
3:58
this gas that's been forming.
4:01
So my stomach has distended
4:03
out like inches at this point.
4:09
Every time I tried to crunch into the car,
4:11
it felt like it was
4:12
shutting off my airway.
4:16
So it took some time to just
4:19
kind of like relax for a second.
4:22
We opened up the sunroof,
4:25
opened up all the windows.
4:28
I got back in the car.
4:29
Thank God it was only 10 minutes.
4:32
We got to the ER.
4:34
And here in Ohio,
4:36
we have ERs that are
4:36
separate from the hospitals.
4:38
So it'd be like an urgent
4:41
care on steroids.
4:44
If that makes sense.
4:44
Like they have, they have imaging,
4:46
they have x-ray,
4:47
they have all that stuff.
4:49
So we go in,
4:52
my wife tells him he's having
4:53
a hard time breathing.
4:55
They gave me a wheelchair.
4:56
They take me back within 10 minutes,
4:59
15 tests done like that fast.
5:05
So from my family doctor who
5:06
sucked balls at taking care
5:10
of me to an ER who doesn't
5:12
even know me doing like the
5:14
greatest care I've ever seen.
5:18
And they hooked me up to an EKG,
5:21
diagnosed me with the AFib immediately.
5:26
And then started running tests,
5:28
chest x-ray, chest CT, stomach x-ray,
5:32
stomach CT, blood work out the wazoo.
5:39
And that's when, like,
5:41
just incrementally as we
5:43
were sitting in the ER,
5:44
more and more bad news is coming in.
5:48
Because everything kind of led to...
5:54
other things going wrong.
5:57
What was the chicken and what was the egg?
6:00
I have no idea.
6:01
But my heart rate was 150 to
6:06
165 beats a minute and it was irregular.
6:07
Then I had blood sugar of 380.
6:08
I had
6:21
Of course,
6:21
I had high blood pressure
6:23
because I was just having
6:24
an anxiety attack.
6:29
I'm still coughing,
6:31
spitting up this stuff that
6:33
I've been dealing with for
6:34
two years that my family
6:36
doctor kept putting off.
6:40
So, um, we go through a bunch of tests.
6:43
They start putting me on meds.
6:46
Um, they're monitoring my heart.
6:48
They're trying to get it to
6:48
go back in rhythm by medicine.
6:54
Um, it's after hours, it's not going back.
6:59
And like,
6:59
we knew we were going to need to
7:00
transfer you to a full blown hospital.
7:05
My wife and I have to make
7:06
the selection because we're
7:07
kind of like in between all
7:09
the three major hospitals
7:12
associated with this ER.
7:14
We decided to go to like the
7:16
Northern small town version,
7:19
which was God's work
7:21
because it was amazing.
7:24
But I didn't, they couldn't come get me.
7:26
They couldn't get a
7:27
transport to me till five
7:28
o'clock in the morning.
7:30
Oh, wow.
7:32
So I sat in the ER by myself
7:35
till five in the morning,
7:37
waited for the Ambo to come,
7:39
got put in the Ambo, uh,
7:41
taken up to Delaware, Ohio, uh,
7:43
to Grady Memorial hospital,
7:45
where then I was admitted.
7:47
And then they hooked me up
7:48
to an EKG machine
7:50
permanently for my stay.
7:53
Lots of IVs, lots of needles,
7:56
lots of pokes, way more tests.
8:00
And I'll stop there and just
8:02
take a pause if anybody has
8:04
any questions.
8:05
Well,
8:06
I think the main thing is heart
8:09
condition.
8:11
How has that been?
8:12
Did you get any feedback
8:13
from the echo and everything?
8:15
Is everything with your heart good?
8:17
Yeah,
8:17
everything is normal with my heart
8:19
other than the beat, the rhythm.
8:21
Okay, so nothing,
8:22
there's been no strain there.
8:24
The lungs are still,
8:26
you were diagnosed with pneumonia too,
8:27
correct?
8:29
Yes.
8:30
Okay, so you have lung infection,
8:31
pneumonia.
8:33
They have you on antibiotics?
8:35
They did.
8:35
Okay, and they took you off the pred?
8:38
They took me off the pred.
8:40
Okay, you're still on antibiotics?
8:42
Today was my last one.
8:45
Okay.
8:45
I'm looking at there.
8:48
Mostly people are just
8:49
commenting on the fact that
8:51
it's hard to find good doctors.
8:52
It truly is.
8:54
It's really hard to find doctors.
8:56
And it's so important that
8:58
we learn to be advocates for ourselves.
9:00
In fact, a lot of times what I do is...
9:04
I just had a woman come to me.
9:05
It's like,
9:05
it's so hard because they run
9:07
basic lab tests.
9:09
And if you're not sick, you're okay.
9:12
They don't think about optimal.
9:13
They wait until you're
9:14
literally like you on your
9:16
deathbed to be like, hey,
9:18
we should probably do something.
9:20
You know, your red flags were last year.
9:25
Last year when the sinus
9:27
stuff was getting that bad
9:27
that you couldn't sleep.
9:29
And then you had the sinus
9:31
surgery and it still wasn't
9:32
getting better.
9:34
you know, and it's just like,
9:36
and this is when I was at
9:37
my family doctor,
9:39
he gave me the prescriptions and said,
9:41
Hey, if it gets worse, go to the ER.
9:45
Like almost like, don't call me.
9:46
Yeah.
9:48
Just go to the ER.
9:49
Yeah.
9:50
It's just not cool.
9:51
So you have a new doctor, right?
9:54
Yeah.
9:54
I have not met her yet.
9:55
Okay.
9:57
All right.
9:59
So let's kind of just like, so, you know,
10:02
we chatted a little bit on Wednesday.
10:03
I wanted to check in on you.
10:06
And since you've been home,
10:09
obviously life is a little
10:10
bit scary right now.
10:11
I'm sure that like...
10:13
what you're dealing with I
10:14
mean you probably feel like
10:16
oh my god scared that you
10:17
can't breathe um obviously
10:20
going to the gym is off the
10:22
table so and like you just
10:24
mentioned walking down the
10:25
stairs is hard so how are
10:28
you getting around at home
10:29
like are you moving around
10:30
at all like are you trying
10:31
to get up and move because
10:31
that's also good for the
10:32
pneumonia like are you
10:33
getting up and trying to
10:35
sit up a little bit and move around
10:37
So I'm doing the best that I can.
10:39
I like,
10:40
I'm trying to take care of myself
10:43
and take that off my wife.
10:45
Yeah.
10:45
Um, where like I fixed lunch today.
10:48
Um, I've been doing my own breakfasts,
10:53
trying to like do that on my own,
10:54
on my own.
10:55
Um, but it's been,
10:57
it's been really difficult.
10:59
Like it takes just so much
11:01
out of me and the doctor
11:02
does not want my heart rate
11:04
elevated at all.
11:06
Yep.
11:07
I gotcha.
11:08
Okay.
11:09
I know you mentioned that
11:10
they have you on medication
11:13
now diabetes-wise.
11:14
Yeah,
11:14
they have me on a lot of medicine
11:17
right now.
11:18
Yeah.
11:20
So I learned through this
11:23
endeavor that prednisone
11:25
actually raises your blood sugar.
11:28
And the doctor I saw in the
11:31
ER said that your family
11:33
doctor should have known
11:35
that it's a risk if you were
11:38
ever a diabetic to put
11:40
someone on prednisone for
11:42
extended periods of time.
11:43
Yeah.
11:45
Well,
11:45
how long were you on the prednisone for?
11:48
So a long time.
11:49
If you count the sinus surgery in October,
11:52
then I was on prednisone
11:54
for that for like six weeks after that.
11:59
Then as things didn't heal
12:02
the right way and we were
12:04
trying to get rid of the cough part of it,
12:07
then my sinus doctor put me
12:09
on more prednisone.
12:13
Then the family doctor puts
12:15
me on more prednisone.
12:19
So I was on prednisone drops
12:22
and prednisone the pill.
12:25
Got it.
12:27
Yeah.
12:27
Okay.
12:29
And elevated blood sugar, just so you know,
12:32
also does weaken your immune system.
12:34
So like, that's also,
12:35
there's a direct correlation.
12:37
That's why diabetics are
12:38
also more prone to getting sick.
12:40
So kind of like,
12:42
it doesn't matter the chicken or the egg,
12:43
you've got a bunch of shit
12:44
going on right now.
12:46
So the medications you asked about,
12:50
metformin and insulin for the diabetes.
12:53
So fast acting metformin for
12:57
two meals a day, insulin for overnight,
13:03
And before I left the hospital,
13:05
I got the three 80 down to one 40.
13:07
It's,
13:10
and it's getting me off the prednisone.
13:13
Yeah.
13:14
Um,
13:15
and so then I have not been able to
13:18
read my sugar because they
13:21
prescribed me a monitor and
13:23
it's been out of stock for four days.
13:26
That's crazy.
13:29
So you don't even know what
13:29
your blood sugar is at.
13:31
With your blood sugar being that high,
13:34
are you getting symptoms?
13:37
So it's just hard because
13:39
this is the worst I've felt in my life.
13:42
So when I was a diabetic 14
13:44
years ago and got through
13:45
that and passed it,
13:47
like I knew what those feelings were.
13:49
I don't know what the
13:51
feelings are now because I
13:52
get heart flutters.
13:54
I get...
13:55
I'm out of breath.
13:56
You'll get like headaches,
13:58
kind of like blurred vision, um, feeling.
14:02
I did have a little bit of blurred vision.
14:04
I did not get to like,
14:07
like overwhelming thirst
14:10
that I had before.
14:12
And they asked me about that
14:13
in the hospital.
14:14
Did I get that?
14:15
And I never had did, um, uh,
14:19
So the only,
14:19
the only real diabetic kind of
14:22
like key was the,
14:24
a little bit of blurred vision.
14:25
Okay.
14:27
And how long you've been off
14:29
the prednisone for is only
14:31
for like a week, right?
14:33
Uh, Saturday.
14:34
Okay.
14:35
Yeah.
14:36
Um, it should start to come down.
14:39
I would think pretty quickly
14:41
once you're off of that.
14:43
So hopefully we'll be able
14:45
to get you back to regulated.
14:46
That's why I'm surprised.
14:48
My only surprise is that
14:50
they did put you on the
14:52
insulin and the metformin
14:54
if it was a pred-related
14:56
thing because- So this is
14:58
their reasoning.
14:59
They needed it down fast
15:01
because the biggest risk
15:03
with a fib is a stroke.
15:05
Right.
15:06
And diabetes contributes to
15:08
the possibilities of a stroke.
15:10
Yeah.
15:11
Anything that was related to, to pass,
15:14
like my,
15:15
my blood pressure was one 27 over
15:17
70 and they have me on a
15:18
blood pressure pill just to get it,
15:22
keep it and make sure it's
15:23
down because they have to
15:25
remove the risk of stroke.
15:27
Yep.
15:28
Yeah.
15:29
Okay.
15:30
All right.
15:31
So questions.
15:33
Kenneth has a question.
15:34
What is metformin?
15:35
I've heard my mom talk about it,
15:37
but never heard.
15:37
It is a drug for diabetes,
15:39
but primarily it does help
15:41
regulate blood sugar.
15:43
And there are two forms.
15:45
There's a fast acting and a slow acting.
15:47
Yeah.
15:49
But it's a pill.
15:51
I was on it back in 2010.
15:52
It's awful.
15:53
Yeah.
15:57
Um, so right now,
16:00
obviously our main concern
16:01
is getting the lungs back
16:03
up and running on a scale of one to 10.
16:06
Do you feel like there's any
16:07
improvement yet?
16:10
From, from Saturday?
16:12
Yes.
16:12
Okay, good.
16:13
It's probably going to be a
16:14
couple more weeks.
16:15
I would think before you're
16:16
like back to a hundred percent.
16:19
Um,
16:19
I would put it at a Saturday was like a
16:22
two.
16:23
Yeah.
16:24
I'd be maybe three and a half, four.
16:26
So my gut's telling me that
16:27
you've had this lung
16:28
infection for quite a while
16:31
and it's just been dormant.
16:32
Like you haven't had like
16:34
symptoms bad enough.
16:35
And that's kind of why you
16:36
haven't been feeling great.
16:38
But coupled with that,
16:40
your blood sugar may have
16:41
been elevated for a long
16:42
time if you've been on the
16:43
pred for a while.
16:45
And that could also have
16:46
been contributing to you
16:47
being more susceptible to being sick.
16:49
So it's like, again,
16:51
it's kind of these two
16:52
things that we have to really look at.
16:54
And what I want to really
16:55
focus on is getting the
16:57
blood sugar under control
16:59
while you're healing and
17:01
getting you feeling better.
17:03
You know, because nutritionally,
17:05
I think that there are some
17:06
things that we can do to
17:07
strengthen your immune system and,
17:10
you know,
17:11
obviously get the blood sugar
17:12
down that we spoke a little
17:14
bit about on Wednesday and, you know,
17:17
help get you feeling better quicker.
17:20
I don't know that you have
17:22
food related issues with
17:24
what's going on with your lungs.
17:25
Like there are some people where I'm like,
17:26
hey,
17:27
you might have these food
17:28
sensitivities with like
17:29
dairy and it's causing you
17:31
more sinus stuff.
17:32
The reason I don't think
17:33
that is because typically
17:35
people that have things
17:36
like that also experience
17:39
like skin related issues.
17:42
Um, like,
17:42
like eczema or like acne or other
17:46
things like that is usually
17:48
when there's like a dairy
17:49
issue or severe gut issues with dairy.
17:53
Like you have like things like that.
17:55
I don't think you have any of that.
17:57
I think this is truly you
17:59
having a weakened immune
18:00
system and your body's responding and
18:03
It could have been a little
18:04
bit of a combination of two.
18:06
But the main thing is our last episode,
18:08
you got pretty vulnerable with us.
18:10
And I think that the real question is,
18:13
is are you ready to like
18:15
put yourself first a little
18:16
bit in your life?
18:20
I am.
18:20
Yeah.
18:21
Did you guys have that talk?
18:24
We did.
18:24
We've yeah.
18:25
My wife and I have.
18:26
Yeah.
18:28
It's hard because my
18:30
sister's in surgery right now.
18:33
Like life doesn't stop because I'm sick.
18:36
She's having cancer removed as we speak.
18:39
Yeah.
18:40
So that is, that's going on right now.
18:45
We did get,
18:45
we did get good news on
18:46
mother-in-law that they're
18:48
going to be able to do some
18:49
stuff with medication as
18:51
opposed to chemo.
18:54
So that's good.
18:56
But like that, that stuff keeps going on,
18:58
but
18:59
What's happened to this whole thing is one,
19:02
I think it was a,
19:05
wake up call for not just for me,
19:07
but for my wife to see what
19:10
this did to me.
19:12
And so like she went out
19:14
today and got fresh vegetables,
19:16
some fresh fruit, um, at lunch,
19:19
we had a nice wrap for,
19:21
for lunch together.
19:23
Um, and it was really good.
19:26
Um,
19:27
and so she's ready to buy in to all
19:30
this now too.
19:30
Okay.
19:33
And,
19:34
I'm to the I'm pissed off.
19:36
Like and,
19:38
and maybe that's what I've needed
19:39
a long time is that chip on
19:42
my shoulder to like, now,
19:46
all I want to do all my
19:48
only goal in my head is I
19:51
want to get rid of all of
19:52
these prescriptions.
19:55
I want to check them off the box,
19:57
throw them in the trash and move on.
19:59
100% agree.
20:04
I think that nutrition is
20:08
something we need to address.
20:10
I think you're doing a
20:11
pretty good job this week.
20:13
So I think that going forward,
20:16
there's a couple of things
20:17
that I really want to
20:17
change about our check-ins
20:19
because I think that you've
20:22
kind of been deflecting
20:23
really going all in on nutrition.
20:26
taking care of yourself.
20:28
And so going forward before
20:30
every one of our calls,
20:32
I want that check-in form filled out.
20:35
I want to be able to take a
20:36
look at that beforehand,
20:38
and I want to pull it up on
20:39
our lives and be able to say, hey,
20:41
this is all the things that
20:42
you're reporting this week.
20:44
I want to pull up your food diary.
20:46
I don't want to see any more blank spots.
20:49
I'm also going to take some
20:52
responsibility for giving
20:54
you more freedom in not
20:58
taking control of some of that stuff.
21:01
because I trust you,
21:02
but I want to be able to be like, Hey,
21:04
like, no, I want to see fiber here.
21:06
I want to see these numbers here.
21:08
And I know that there was a
21:09
point that we talked about
21:10
stuff and you were like,
21:10
it's a little too overwhelming for me.
21:12
I just want to focus on the protein.
21:14
I just want to, and we backed off,
21:16
but I think that you need
21:18
to get it all under, under control.
21:21
It's time to like,
21:22
take this seriously because
21:24
I don't want to see you
21:25
sick again because
21:27
And I want to make sure that
21:28
you are making the right
21:29
kind of progress.
21:30
And right now, we can't make gym progress.
21:33
That's okay.
21:34
We can get you healthy
21:36
enough to get back to the gym.
21:38
And when you're cleared to
21:39
go back to the gym,
21:40
we'll talk about that then.
21:42
But that's the main thing.
21:46
Agreed.
21:48
Um,
21:48
so a couple of things I mentioned to
21:51
you on the call was really
21:55
wanting more fibrous carbs
21:58
and you're adding in more
21:59
fresh fruits and vegetables with,
22:00
I love what I love,
22:02
but here's what I just want
22:03
to kind of show you.
22:04
That's, and I'll pull it up.
22:05
Let me just, cause I want to be fully, Hey,
22:08
we're going to get rid of,
22:09
we're going to pull this
22:10
share screen up here, share screen.
22:15
Do I want to share the whole
22:16
entire screen?
22:17
All right, guys,
22:18
just don't judge the 5
22:19
million tabs I have open because I have,
22:21
you know,
22:22
ADHD and I have to have 5
22:24
million things open at all time.
22:26
Okay, so this is really my concern.
22:28
You see this number 12 here under fiber?
22:31
Okay, this is typical for you.
22:35
This day was a good day, 50 that day.
22:38
Today, you've only logged one meal, okay?
22:40
But you tend to be very low
22:44
on fiber.
22:45
And when you're eating low calories,
22:48
fiber is typically low
22:50
because when you're eating low carbs,
22:52
but when you're getting in
22:54
enough carbohydrates,
22:56
you want to make sure that
22:58
that fiber count is up.
22:59
So if you're eating,
23:01
let's call it 167 carbs,
23:04
but you're only getting 14 grams of fiber.
23:06
We want to really increase that.
23:08
And so what I really want
23:09
you focusing on right now
23:11
is that whenever you're
23:12
picking up any grain products,
23:14
you're looking for complex carbohydrates.
23:16
You're looking for high fiber carbs,
23:18
no white products,
23:19
because that's going to get more.
23:22
It's going to bring more
23:23
good gut bacteria into the gut,
23:25
which can help with the immune system.
23:27
It's going to help with digestion.
23:29
It's going to help with everything.
23:30
It's going to help with your blood sugar.
23:31
So we've really got to get
23:33
the fibrous carbs in and
23:35
the fruits and vegetables
23:36
are also a part of it as well.
23:38
Um, you know,
23:39
right now I know that you're
23:40
not moving a whole bunch.
23:43
So, you know,
23:44
calorically we might end up
23:45
changing things.
23:47
Uh,
23:47
so I do want you getting back to
23:48
weighing in just so I can
23:50
see what's going on with your weight.
23:52
You know, this way we can kind of say,
23:53
all right, here's where you're at.
23:55
Calorically,
23:56
we might have to change some
23:56
things a little bit because
23:58
it's also when it comes to blood sugar,
24:00
it's not just carbohydrates,
24:01
it's calories.
24:03
Uh,
24:03
and I want to talk about that for
24:04
people to understand, but yeah,
24:07
getting your calories where
24:08
they need to be for you to
24:09
obviously still see some,
24:11
some results is also important.
24:13
Um, I like that you're hydrating.
24:15
So making sure that you're
24:16
getting some electrolytes
24:17
in throughout your day, uh,
24:19
if you're getting in fruits
24:19
and vegetables, that's going to be good,
24:21
but that's going to be your
24:22
main focus right now is
24:23
really getting the diet dialed in.
24:26
Um, you know, still, we still be flexible.
24:28
You still go out for date night.
24:29
You still do those things,
24:30
but the majority of your food,
24:32
we really got to be
24:32
focusing on that stuff.
24:36
And that's what we're trying to do.
24:38
From the time we got back to the hospital,
24:39
we're cycling through the
24:41
grains we had to the grains
24:43
we're getting and doing all
24:46
that kind of stuff.
24:48
We're getting a winter
24:49
weather emergency tonight
24:52
due to four inches of snow.
24:53
So we got all that stuff
24:54
today to prep for the
24:56
weekend because we're
24:57
probably going to be snowed
24:58
in a little bit.
25:01
And...
25:03
And like,
25:03
I really made a conscious effort
25:05
yesterday to get like an apple in,
25:07
to get some stuff,
25:09
to get some good fiber in.
25:11
Today I had, um,
25:15
the Jimmy Dean's light
25:17
sandwich because it was a
25:18
whole wheat muffin.
25:20
Um, and I had some oatmeal today, um,
25:23
to try to up that.
25:25
We had a wrap for lunch with
25:27
vegetables throughout it.
25:29
So I'm really trying.
25:31
Yeah.
25:31
You didn't log your lunch yet.
25:33
So I don't know what that
25:35
was looking like.
25:36
So, but I know that your breakfast so far,
25:40
let me just, your breakfast was,
25:41
it's weird because it's showing up on.
25:49
Yeah.
25:49
Your breakfast had five grams of fiber.
25:53
So still not a whole bunch,
25:54
but it's still better than nothing.
25:57
You know,
25:57
and I think if you're depending
25:59
on what kind of wrap you had for lunch,
26:01
we're going to slowly start
26:02
to work on that.
26:02
You know,
26:03
like that's the stuff that you
26:04
can kind of work on.
26:06
So like,
26:07
does oatmeal add any fiber at all?
26:09
Yeah.
26:09
Oatmeal's got good fiber in it.
26:11
Yep.
26:12
Look at the package.
26:13
I,
26:13
and I'll send you my high fiber food
26:15
list again, but, um,
26:18
there's also like different brands too,
26:21
but like, that's just,
26:21
you want to look for all of those, um,
26:24
fiber sources.
26:25
Jeff asked about your protein source.
26:27
Yes.
26:27
Um,
26:28
he had the Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich.
26:30
It wasn't a whole bunch of protein,
26:31
but it was still a
26:33
relatively balanced meal.
26:34
He had, you know,
26:35
22 grams of protein this morning.
26:37
So you're probably going to
26:38
be playing a little bit of
26:39
catch up on protein.
26:41
So, but yeah.
26:44
So I think that the main
26:45
thing is getting you back
26:47
to some structure,
26:49
keeping your stress levels down.
26:51
So stress also raises your blood sugar,
26:53
by the way, people.
26:55
So people that focus on diet
26:56
stress and cortisol levels.
26:59
Jack up your blood sugar as well.
27:00
So we want to make sure
27:01
we're doing that movement wise.
27:04
I think that for you this week,
27:06
because you really can't work out,
27:08
I think that, well,
27:09
you can't get your heart rate up.
27:11
I think that every time you
27:12
eat also after you eat,
27:14
like either doing like a 10 minute,
27:16
like very easy,
27:17
just walk it around your house.
27:19
You could even pedal easy on
27:20
your bike at a walking pace.
27:22
Like you can do that as well.
27:24
You know,
27:24
like just something to get some
27:26
blood flow into your body.
27:28
Um,
27:30
and then I think the other thing is
27:31
mobility.
27:33
You don't want to get tight hips and tight,
27:35
all these things.
27:36
So even though you can't
27:36
work out right now,
27:38
those are things that you can be doing.
27:40
So I think that you can kind of,
27:42
as you're starting to feel a bit better,
27:44
just making sure that
27:45
you're stretching a little bit,
27:47
not getting too tight,
27:48
sitting all day and all
27:50
that kinds of stuff.
27:52
Yeah.
27:52
The hardest part right now is
27:56
that gas pushing on my
27:57
stomach and it's pushing on
27:59
my excess skin.
28:01
It's like a weird dynamic I have going on.
28:05
And every time I stand up,
28:07
like it is burp city, um,
28:11
to just kind of be, get comfortable.
28:13
And then, so yeah, the mobility,
28:18
I need to try that and just
28:20
see if it'll help.
28:21
What are they saying that
28:22
the burping is just from the, uh,
28:24
the pressure and the, from the lungs?
28:28
Uh, I were,
28:29
there's a scope ordered already
28:31
for my esophagus and stomach.
28:35
Uh, we, I just haven't had it yet.
28:38
Okay.
28:40
Um, let me just take a look at something.
28:44
Is the burping and stuff
28:45
worse at certain times of the day?
28:47
No.
28:51
Just all throughout the day.
28:52
Yep.
28:56
Taking a look at things.
28:58
How much water are you drinking?
28:59
We are, we're transparent on the show.
29:02
Yeah.
29:02
If I go to the bathroom and
29:03
have a bowel movement, it's better.
29:05
Okay.
29:07
And it's a relief for a few hours.
29:13
All right.
29:14
How much water are you drinking a day?
29:17
Quite a bit.
29:19
Like pretty much stop drinking.
29:22
Anything but.
29:25
But it doesn't matter.
29:26
You're drinking hydrating.
29:27
You're drinking at least 100
29:27
ounces of fluid.
29:29
Oh, yeah.
29:30
Okay.
29:32
All right.
29:33
Let's give it a couple of days and seeing.
29:35
I'm hoping that maybe with
29:36
the lung infection getting better,
29:38
but I'm just wondering if
29:39
there's not something going
29:40
on with your stomach.
29:42
Are you still taking any supplements?
29:44
No,
29:45
I went off those with all the
29:46
prescriptions just till I
29:48
can get regulated.
29:49
Yeah.
29:50
Yeah.
29:52
Cause I am, I'm, I am a little bit,
29:54
the burping stuff has got
29:55
me a little puzzled because your food,
29:57
nothing that what you're
29:58
eating is like really like
29:59
sticking out to me is like,
30:00
that's what's causing it.
30:01
That's why I was wondering
30:03
if maybe it's a reaction
30:05
from what's going on with the lung.
30:06
Cause it kind of,
30:07
they kind of went hand in
30:08
hand that that started to
30:09
get bad when you started to get sick.
30:12
So I'm just wondering if it
30:13
might just be from that, you know, the,
30:16
the lung infection.
30:19
So what I have outstanding
30:20
is I have a scope on my
30:23
throat and stomach coming.
30:26
I have cardiology on Monday, um, to talk,
30:32
to have another EKG and to
30:35
see what the next steps are
30:36
for the heart and then new
30:39
family doctor next Friday.
30:41
Okay.
30:43
And I know you mentioned
30:44
full transparency.
30:45
Are you going to the
30:45
bathroom more than normal?
30:48
No.
30:48
Okay.
30:51
Less than normal.
30:52
Less than normal.
30:53
Okay.
30:55
Let's really try and push the fiber up.
30:57
Let's see if it doesn't help a little bit.
30:59
The other thing, you know what?
31:02
Actually.
31:03
I do have a fiber supplement.
31:05
No,
31:06
I don't want you to be a fiber
31:07
supplement.
31:08
No.
31:09
You know what I want you to
31:10
do this week for the gut?
31:13
Let's go ahead and take down
31:15
the fat intake.
31:17
So you've been pretty high on fat.
31:21
Uh,
31:21
I want you to utilize in the numbers
31:23
that I have in trainer eyes,
31:25
one 85 protein, one 85 carbs and 65 fat.
31:29
I don't want you going over
31:30
70 fat this week.
31:31
And I want to see if that
31:32
helps with the gut.
31:36
Okay.
31:37
So, uh,
31:38
cause sometimes you might be having
31:40
a gall related issue,
31:41
a gallbladder related issue.
31:44
And let's just see if
31:46
there's not something going on with that.
31:47
So let's lower the fat intake this week,
31:51
like starting today.
31:52
They did mention that at
31:56
some point during the
31:57
weekend or when I was in
31:59
the hospital about my gallbladder.
32:00
Well, see,
32:01
maybe I should just become a physician.
32:02
I mean...
32:06
go back to school and be a
32:07
doctor uh no let's let's
32:10
take the fat intake down
32:11
because your fat intake has
32:13
been a little bit high
32:14
let's try and get it to
32:15
around like 60 to 70 don't
32:17
go over 70 and see if it
32:19
doesn't help with the with
32:20
the gut stuff uh so jay
32:23
birch asks are you gulping
32:26
air in an effort to breathe.
32:28
I'm not, thank goodness.
32:31
Um, thank goodness.
32:32
The, the sinuses have cleared.
32:35
Like I can breathe freely through my nose.
32:38
It is much easier to breathe
32:39
through my nose now than it is my mouth.
32:42
That's good.
32:44
It gets you doing some nasal
32:45
breathing exercises when, uh,
32:48
you get back in the gym.
32:50
So Carolyn giving you props.
32:52
Yeah.
32:54
I could be a doctor, Dr. Cheryl, Dr. Naso.
32:57
That sounds like a scary
33:00
movie doctor's name, like, you know,
33:02
like Dr. Giggles, Dr. Naso.
33:05
But, but yeah, no,
33:07
I think that let's lower your,
33:08
let's lower your fat intake
33:10
and up the fiber and obviously protein.
33:12
How is your sleep?
33:16
When I sleep, it's,
33:17
it's deeper now than it's been in years.
33:21
Um, but then I'll like wake up,
33:24
have to clear my throat, do some stuff.
33:28
And then my mind is playing
33:30
awful tricks on me.
33:32
Um, and I get some anxiety,
33:34
which I have never had.
33:37
So, um, like last night, this is a,
33:40
a great example of how my nights go.
33:42
Went to bed at 10, woke up at two 30.
33:48
had to clear my throat, had to pee,
33:50
do that kind of stuff.
33:51
I come to go back into,
33:53
to bed and then I can hear
33:57
every little wheeze in my,
33:58
in my throat and it starts
34:01
freaking me out.
34:02
And then I,
34:03
I get to a point where I feel
34:06
like I can't breathe.
34:07
And so I get up and then I
34:09
go downstairs and I sleep sitting up.
34:14
Yeah.
34:14
When do you go back to work?
34:16
I went back today.
34:18
Okay.
34:18
How'd that go?
34:20
Okay.
34:21
It's a, it's a holiday weekend for us.
34:24
So there were,
34:26
there was nobody in the office.
34:28
It was like the perfect day to go back.
34:30
Presidency weekend, right?
34:31
Yep.
34:32
Okay.
34:39
Uh, I've never tried a CPAP machine.
34:42
I've never been diagnosed
34:43
with sleep apnea.
34:46
Um, but it has been mentioned this week.
34:49
And so I,
34:50
when I get to my new family doctor,
34:52
that might be something
34:53
that is ordered a sleep test.
34:56
All right.
34:57
Um, yeah, but see,
35:00
you don't report like
35:00
waking up feeling tired or groggy.
35:03
You always seem to sleep well.
35:07
So, um,
35:09
I don't know.
35:10
You know what I'm saying?
35:11
Like you've never really been like, Oh,
35:12
my sleep sucks.
35:14
But I will tell you this.
35:17
I'm having this weird side
35:19
effect where when I close my, my eyes,
35:24
I like,
35:25
I get these visions of what I
35:27
think my surroundings should be.
35:29
And I can like see it brushed out.
35:34
And it is the weirdest thing ever.
35:36
Never had that happen before.
35:39
Not on a psychedelic.
35:40
I know WAD Zombies coming in with that.
35:42
And then what it does is it
35:45
makes me nod off because I
35:47
want to stay to see the
35:48
painting finished.
35:50
That's crazy.
35:51
You're going crazy, Scott.
35:52
I'm just kidding.
35:54
And what's funny is I've had
35:55
a lot of people from around
35:57
the world DM me that they
35:59
have the same thing I have.
36:02
And they all talk about that
36:04
until it's fixed, I will not off.
36:07
It is just, you're so tired.
36:10
It just, but I don't, I don't,
36:14
I'm afraid to ask them,
36:15
did you have visions of
36:17
things before you nodded off?
36:19
Were you seeing things?
36:20
Were you like going crazy?
36:21
No.
36:22
No, I feel like,
36:25
I feel like this was a
36:26
little bit of the wake up
36:26
call you needed.
36:27
So I feel like hopefully
36:29
we'll be able to get you in the clear.
36:32
When is your first doctor's
36:33
visit with your new doctor?
36:36
Next Friday.
36:37
Okay.
36:37
So we have about a week.
36:39
Yeah.
36:41
Hopefully,
36:41
hopefully by then you'll be
36:43
feeling a little bit better.
36:44
And then again,
36:45
the EKG cardiology is Monday.
36:48
Okay.
36:49
Well,
36:49
hopefully I would ask the
36:51
cardiologist just like,
36:53
Are you cleared for any movement yet?
36:55
You know, how, how mentally, mentally,
36:57
how are you feeling right now?
37:00
For me to,
37:01
to even think about doing any
37:03
kind of major movement.
37:05
I don't even know how I would do it.
37:07
Yeah.
37:08
Like the way I feel right now.
37:11
I'm not talking about major movement.
37:13
I'm talking about walking.
37:14
I'm talking about.
37:16
That's what I'm talking about.
37:18
That's what I'm saying.
37:19
Like walking out to the,
37:21
get the mail about wrecks me.
37:24
Agreed.
37:24
I'm sure it does.
37:25
But what I want to make sure
37:26
of is that when you're cleared for it,
37:29
that you're doing it
37:30
because it's not going to
37:32
feel good when you first
37:33
start doing it again.
37:34
And I get it.
37:35
You don't want to do it
37:36
before the doctor says to you,
37:38
but you don't want to be
37:40
one of those people that's like, oh,
37:41
it's going to really suck.
37:42
It's going to really suck
37:44
for the first couple of days.
37:45
We just want to make sure
37:46
you're cleared for it first.
37:51
Do I wear a smartwatch?
37:54
So yes, I have one.
37:56
But I lost the charger at Legends.
38:03
So I need to order a new charger.
38:04
Don't you have a loop strap?
38:06
No.
38:07
You got rid of it?
38:09
Long time ago.
38:11
Well, that would track your sleep too.
38:13
I actually have a watch.
38:17
So you just want to wear
38:18
your watch instead.
38:20
Yeah, it tracks sleep.
38:22
It does everything the Whoop did,
38:25
and I didn't have to pay monthly.
38:27
I don't think my Apple Watch
38:28
tracks my sleep as good as
38:30
my Whoop strap does.
38:31
I don't have an Apple Watch.
38:33
What kind of watch did you have?
38:35
It's like a GPS.
38:37
It's called Asunto.
38:39
Okay.
38:41
Yeah,
38:41
I feel like my Apple Watch tells me
38:43
that I sleep like a champ,
38:44
but my Whoop tells me when
38:46
I sleep like shit,
38:46
and my Whoop is usually right.
38:49
If I can feel the difference.
38:51
So, yeah.
38:55
Yeah, I feel like.
38:58
Yeah, it's just like a Garmin,
39:00
but it's this brand.
39:03
Okay.
39:06
Yeah.
39:07
I don't watch nothing
39:08
tracking anything I do.
39:09
I don't watch nothing tracking anything.
39:12
Apple Watch can tell the time at least.
39:13
That's pretty much all I use
39:14
my Apple Watch for.
39:15
That and my steps.
39:18
I really don't even use it
39:19
for anything else.
39:20
It's just kind of a... You know,
39:22
the reason I got it was
39:24
when I first got my Apple Watch,
39:26
I was looking for... I had a Garmin.
39:27
And the reason I didn't get
39:28
another Garmin was because
39:29
the battery kept dying so quickly.
39:32
It was like my third one and
39:34
it would last for like a year.
39:35
And then all of a sudden,
39:36
the Garmin battery would
39:37
start dying like half a day.
39:39
So when I was getting a new watch,
39:41
the reason I got the Apple watch,
39:42
I was like, oh, cool.
39:43
Like I can use this for my music.
39:46
I don't have to use my phone.
39:48
So like when I go on a run,
39:49
I don't have to use it.
39:51
But they get you because you
39:52
only can do that if you buy
39:53
the freaking data plan.
39:55
And I'm like,
39:56
I'm not paying an extra 15
39:57
bucks a month for a data
39:59
plan for my phone, for my watch.
40:01
Come on, really?
40:02
So I didn't ever get it.
40:04
Never.
40:05
So I had an Apple Watch
40:08
years ago when I traveled
40:09
the state for my job.
40:11
And I did it because so I
40:12
could see a text message,
40:14
see if it was important or
40:15
not without pulling my phone out.
40:18
But then I realized like,
40:23
was becoming rude like I'd
40:25
be talking to somebody and
40:27
look down at my watch
40:29
rather than and pay
40:31
attention to the watch
40:31
rather than the person I'm
40:32
talking to yeah and so I
40:34
was like this is dumb and I
40:36
just got rid of it I don't
40:37
even look at my text
40:38
messages on my watch like
40:39
ever the only time I really
40:41
did was when I was at
40:42
wadapalooza because my
40:44
freaking phone was dying
40:46
and I'm like stop opening
40:47
your phone it's just making
40:48
it worse and that's when I
40:50
was using my watch more than anything
40:53
so kenneth what happened was
40:56
as I was in the hospital
40:57
and the care was so good I
40:59
cannot say enough about the
41:02
staff at this hospital in
41:04
delaware it was awesome I
41:07
said to them I don't trust
41:08
my doctor anymore I don't
41:10
want my stuff sent to him
41:12
but I don't know what to do
41:13
because I don't know how to
41:14
find a new one while I'm
41:15
laid up in bed so they set
41:18
me up with a counselor at the hospital
41:21
they got me a new doctor and
41:24
I am meeting with her next
41:25
Friday for the first time.
41:27
So I will have a brand new
41:29
family practitioner, um, next Friday.
41:33
Good stuff.
41:38
And we'll be on again for Tuesday, right?
41:39
You want to do it again Tuesday?
41:41
Again,
41:42
I think this is my last show until I
41:45
can get more confident
41:47
going up and down the stairs.
41:52
So we're not doing a show next Tuesday.
41:55
Well, we may,
41:57
if I feel better after the cardiologist.
41:59
Okay.
42:00
Um, regardless,
42:02
I want to make sure we
42:03
check in somehow with everybody.
42:06
So if it's me,
42:08
then I'll do it just so that
42:09
they can kind of see your
42:11
check-in what you've
42:12
reported and that you're
42:14
being honest with
42:15
everything and that you're
42:16
taking care of yourself.
42:19
Cause I want that for you.
42:22
I have not rescheduled any
42:24
of my shows until I start feeling better.
42:28
Okay.
42:29
Well, regardless,
42:30
I'll make sure there's an
42:31
update on Tuesday,
42:32
even if it's me doing a
42:33
solo something with your check-in.
42:36
But we'll do something.
42:38
Or if we have to wait until
42:39
next Friday after your
42:41
doctor's appointment that day,
42:43
if that would be a better day, you think.
42:45
But let's make sure we keep
42:46
everybody updated in the loop.
42:48
Okay.
42:50
Alrighty.
42:50
Sounds good.
42:52
And you like my new Chicago bears?
42:55
I'm looking at that.
42:56
I'm looking at your hat.
42:57
I'm like,
42:58
he's just all sports sports down today.
43:01
My wife Valentine's gift.
43:03
Nice.
43:04
Nice.
43:05
Awesome.
43:06
I think I'm going to go over to,
43:07
there's a little Italian
43:08
festival here today.
43:09
I might go over and take a
43:11
look over there.
43:12
All the Italian stuff's going on.
43:14
You have fun in that Florida weather.
43:16
It's very nice here today.
43:18
It's beautiful out.
43:19
I'm not even going to lie.
43:20
I was outside a little while
43:21
ago and I'm like, oh,
43:22
it's a perfect day to be outside.
43:24
Yeah.
43:26
I'll be in my snow globe in Ohio.
43:29
In your snow dungeon, in your igloo.
43:31
All right, guys.
43:35
Well,
43:35
if you have any questions for what's
43:37
going on or
43:39
Anything that we talked about today,
43:41
make sure to DM Cheryl or myself.
43:45
I will keep you up to date
43:46
as much as possible.
43:47
And I want to thank,
43:50
from the bottom of my heart,
43:52
every single one of you
43:53
that has reached out to me through DM,
43:56
through comments, through text.
43:59
It's overwhelming,
44:02
the outpouring of love that
44:03
I felt and received during this week.
44:08
There's times where you
44:09
wonder like if you're
44:10
making an impact with
44:12
anything that you do.
44:14
Like I got a freaking card
44:15
from CrossFit wishing me well.
44:19
And that they're in my corner.
44:22
I could not believe it.
44:23
Like that just blew me away.
44:26
Um,
44:26
but the people that have gone through
44:28
this,
44:28
that are sharing their stories with
44:30
me are helping so much.
44:33
Um, and what, what to expect, uh,
44:35
what's going on.
44:36
The prayers that everybody's
44:38
sending me are awesome.
44:40
Um, I love you all.
44:42
Um,
44:42
I love this community and I can't wait
44:45
to be back.
44:47
stronger and better than
44:48
ever to hang out with you
44:51
guys for a long time going
44:53
forward as I get healthy.
44:55
So with that, thank you a bunch.
44:58
Love you all.
44:59
And we will see you next
45:00
time on the Clydesdale
45:03
media weight loss journey.
