  Speaker 2: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. Recently, I've had a
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: client call up that's been with me a long time
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: and they're ten year old is not doing so well,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: they said, And they went to an MD and the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: MD saw that they were low on iron, and they
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: called me up because they do know that, Hey, we
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: want to put them on just not any willy nilly
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: iron supplement, but rather something that's going to be absorbed
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: something that's actually going to work, and so they asked
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: my team for recommentation. And when my team came to me,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I said, nah, I definitely want to speak to this individual.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: And so we had a conversation and I asked questions
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: because just to put a child that's ten on an
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: iron supplement is not a great idea without a lot
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: of digging. And while an MD might do a blood
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: test and say, wow, hey, I see your child looks pale.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I see their fingernails look pale, their tongue looks pale,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: which they probably didn't actually say or look at, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: maybe they did, and we need to put them on iron.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Well that's definitely a possibility. But my question now is
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: when was the last time had a pretty significant infection?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: And are they run down? Are they tired? Are they
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: sleeping a lot? And what's their digestive system like do
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: they complain about bowel issues? Do they have stomach pain?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Are they very picky? And so once we start going
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: through all these individual symptoms, we start realizing, hey, I
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: think what's more so going on here is you have
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: a fairly good infection going on and the body is
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: sequestering iron out of the system to try and help,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: because iron makes colds worse. If you will, iron will
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: feed an infection. And so the body is smart enough
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: to say, hey, if I don't have vitamin C in
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: terms of copper, I am not going to allow much
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: iron into the blood. And so then the client doesn't
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: feel so good. It maybe even compromises digestion or they
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: already had a compromised digestion. And so we want to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: go after things like, hey, let's get some fermented foods,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Let's get some you know, stomach support, some digestion, because
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to absorb iron requires a significant potency in the digestive system.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And so Rapplesider vinegar, and they did tell me that, hey,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: he likes kombucha, Great, let's do that. And let's see
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: if we can add some rapple Sider vinegar, maybe even
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: some raw honey which will have natural vitamin C which
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: would even help with infection. And so one of the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: iron supplements that I'll do with folks has both iron
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and copper in form of vitamin C or whole food
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: vitamin C, because you absolutely need to have a good
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: copper source if you're going to absorb iron well and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: do it well. And so those are ideas for any
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: of you out there that are perhaps looking at a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: child that why does my child look so pale? Or
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: perhaps you're an MD or chiropractor, an hpath and are like, hey,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: it's a good reminder. That's probably awesome that I recognize
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: that if I have a child in that is pretty
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: sick or at least is low on iron, that I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: should probably ask myself why would the body be pulling
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: iron out? Why would a sequestrate? And we could jump
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: on zinc for the immune system. We could jump on
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of things and we wouldn't be wrong. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: so but first and foremost, I'm going to be looking at, hey,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: where is your whole food vitamin C coming from? Where
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: is your digestive support? What's happened to the child lately?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's many many roads to go down, but
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: general nutrition speaking, if you have a fairly good diet,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: which this child does, then there's just a few things
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that need to be altered. But if we've got somebody
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: who's you know, eating McDonald's, not taking very good care
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: of themselves, maybe they eat candy a lot and they
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: put up a big fuss, and so the parents don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: know what else to do, so they're going to feed
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: them something. Because as parents we want to do something.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: We now we just can't have a child that's not
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: going to eat, and so we do the best we
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: can as parents. But at the end of the day,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: it's it's like, Okay, I've got a really sick kid,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: what would you like? And that's where I love in,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you know, instilling the child in the decision making process.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Too done the right way, children will often make the
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: right decision, and it just requires a little coaxing or
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: at least a little bit of understanding on a parent's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: side to say, hey, how can I word this as
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: good as possible? And like the story that I've given
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: for my own daughter when she was twelve and she
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: didn't want eat vegetables, I said, you know, I get it,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you don't wanty vegetables. But I just want you to
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: know that you've been sick a lot more lately, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: if you get sick, but we're all planning to go
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: do something, you will stay home. I will not ruin
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: my time because of your decision to not eat your
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: vegetables and take care of your body. That was the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: last time I had to have a conversation with her.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: She had all of her vegetables after that, and she
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: has a very colectic palette today. You know, she's in
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: her twenties and she's getting married, you know. So it
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: just takes a little bit of wording sometimes and sometimes
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: it takes a few opportunities, but eventually the child will
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: come around as long as you stand your ground as
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: a parent. That sometimes is daunting, but it can be done,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: and you can do this. I have complete faith in you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Until next time. I hope this hell phone and I'm
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: doctor Troy, and remember there is way more right with
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: you and your children than there is wrong with you.
