  Welcome to Health, Life and What's Next.

  Jennifer Ginty.

  This is the podcast where we explore what it really means to live well through honest conversations about health, life, business, and everything in between.
• 0:17
  Because remember, healing is about more than medicine.
• 0:21
  I'm so glad you are here.
• 0:24
  Let's get into today's conversation Can I say something that might sound strange coming from me, a doctor?
• 0:32
  I think some of you need to stop looking for more health information.
• 0:37
  Not forever, but long enough to ask whether all the information you already have has actually helped you understand anything.
• 0:46
  Because I meet people who know a lot.
• 0:49
  They know their thyroid numbers.
• 0:51
  They know how to read the labs.
• 0:53
  They know their vitamin Ds, their hormones.
• 0:55
  They can tell you which foods are supposed to be inflammatory.
• 1:00
  They've listened to the podcasts, watched the YouTube videos They have followed the gurus, they have changed their diet, they have supplement for their supplement.
• 1:09
  They have seen specialists, they've done the research, and yet after all of that, they're still sitting there saying,"Okay, but why do I still feel like this?
• 1:22
  Why am I still experiencing all of these symptoms?" And I think we need to talk about that because maybe the problem isn't that you haven't found enough information.
• 1:34
  I mean, we live in information galore.
• 1:37
  Information is everywhere.
• 1:39
  Maybe nobody has helped you make sense of the information you already have.
• 1:44
  To me, that's a big difference, and this is where I see people get trapped.
• 1:50
  So you're tired, you investigate fatigue.
• 1:54
  You are bloated, so now we're talking about the gut.
• 1:57
  Your cycle changes, so now we're talking about hormones.
• 2:01
  You can't sleep, so now we're fixing sleep.
• 2:03
  Something comes back on the lab, and suddenly that becomes the new thing we are chasing.
• 2:10
  And before you know it, you have five different conversations happening about one person, you.
• 2:18
  You are the person.
• 2:20
  And that doesn't mean all five things have one cause.
• 2:23
  They don't have one cause.
• 2:25
  I want to be really clear about that.
• 2:28
  But shouldn't somebody at least ask how the story unfolded, right?
• 2:33
  Like, what changed?
• 2:34
  What did you try?
• 2:36
  What actually helped?
• 2:37
  What made you feel worse?
• 2:39
  And what still doesn't make sense?
• 2:42
  That is a completely different conversation from what should I take for this, for these symptoms?
• 2:49
  And I think a lot of people are desperate for that conversation without even realizing it because here's what happened when you don't have it.
• 2:57
  You keep trying things, and every new thing comes with hope.
• 3:03
  Maybe this new diet is the thing I've been looking for, this new test, this new practitioner, this new protocol.
• 3:08
  And when it doesn't give you the answer you were hoping for, you go looking for more things.
• 3:14
  And at some point that gets very exhausting and expensive, and confusing, and frustrating.
• 3:23
  And eventually, some people start wondering if they are the problem.
• 3:28
  Maybe I'm too complicated.
• 3:29
  You know how many times patients will tell me,"My case is very complicated.
• 3:33
  Maybe I'm overthinking this.
• 3:35
  Maybe this is just what getting old feels like.
• 3:39
  Maybe I need to try harder.
• 3:41
  I need to be more disciplined." I don't think trying hard is always the answer.
• 3:46
  Sometimes we need to stop adding things long enough to understand the story, and that is why I created the Connect the Dots.
• 3:56
  It is happening this September 16th at 6:00 PM.
• 4:01
  Now, if you miss this one, click the link below and register for the upcoming masterclass.
• 4:08
  And I want to tell you why I think you should actually be there instead of just saying,"Oh, that sounds nice," right?
• 4:16
  I'm not doing this masterclass to give you another protocol, I'm not going to tell you 25 supplements you should buy or 14 foods you should stay away from.
• 4:27
  What I want to give you is a different way to think.
• 4:31
  I want you to start recognizing the difference between having pieces of information and actually understanding what those pieces mean in the context of your own health.
• 4:41
  I want you to understand why your timeline matters, why something that didn't work can still give us, your doctor, and yourself information, why one lab result should not automatically become your entire health history.
• 4:57
  And most importantly, I want you to leave knowing how to ask better questions before deciding what deserves your attention next.
• 5:06
  Because the next thing you do should have a reason behind it.
• 5:10
  And if you come live when the stuff that doesn't make sense, when the question you keep coming back to, when the thing that made you think,"But nobody has explained this part," because I'm also going to leave time for live Q&A.
• 5:27
  So this isn't something I want you to have listening to while folding laundry two weeks from now.
• 5:35
  I want you in the room.
• 5:36
  And if while I've been talking, you're like,"Okay, this is me.
• 5:40
  I'm thinking about this," or you've been thinking about this.
• 5:43
  You're saying,"Oh my God, this is me.
• 5:45
  I have so much information, and I still don't understand what any of this means together," then stop searching for a minute.
• 5:54
  Come have this conversation with me.
• 5:57
  Connect the Dots is a live masterclass September 16th at 6:00 PM.

  So go to the link in the show notes and register now, and actually put it on your calendar, because I think there's one question worth sitting with before you try one more thing, and that is it.
• 6:21
  Do you really need more health information, or do you finally need to understand what the information you already have is telling you?
• 6:30
