0:21
I'm doing all, my friend. I am doing well, and we are
0:28
in the festive, happy holidays season and I think everybody is h is ready
0:33
to spend time with family and friends, and of course I know we are
0:36
also on the precipice of a new year, which I think a lot of
0:39
people say it's time to take some stock on where we are both personally,
0:44
professionally and we are a lifestyle. So we're gonna have a great conversation and
0:47
we'll touch on some of those things. And of course the important things to
0:50
keep in mind this morning is we talk with Tim O'Brien one. The phone
0:53
lines are open. Love to have you join us this morning. Get a
0:55
question, Get you on the air six eight three two thirteen ten. That's

1:22

1:23

1:27
for that great call, aren't you. Oh yes, sir, twenty five
1:30
dollars gift card, just as a small thank you for calling in. It
1:33
helps my show and it helps other people listening. Now is the time gets
1:37
you on the air six oh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six
1:40
oh eight three two one thirteen ten. Before we get to the phone calls
1:44
and before we get to the emails. Real Quick talked about this time of
1:47
year, and I think, as we're into the month of December, last
1:49
few weeks of twenty twenty three, it is an important time. And whether
1:55
it's whether it's for the new year or whatever it is, it's always important
1:57
time to kind of take assessment of your health. Do you see more people
2:00
coming into the healthy places time you're saying, you know what, I want
2:04
to make some changes for the better. Yeah, I love what you're saying.
2:07
I like to visualize a ship, you know that that doesn't have any
2:10
sort of guidance system, like old school seventeen hundreds, Like these captains when
2:15
they're going across a large body of water, they'd have to like look up
2:20
to the stars and find maybe the north star or find a star that can
2:24
guide them, and so every single night they'd correct their rudder. So I
2:29
love like a daily reset. So I mean that's like optimal, but personally,
2:34
you know, I love a yearly like an annual reset where once a
2:37
year and every year, dude, I'm like, hey, I was a
2:40
little bit off track from where I want to be going, where I want
2:44
to be, who I want to be, And you ask those honest questions
2:47
of like you know, am I and where am I going? And what
2:52
do I want to do? And what about the loved ones around me?
2:54
How does those choices impact them? And so just on an annual basis,
2:58
I love the idea of asking those questions and like doing a course correction each
3:04
year. And so to answer your question, absolutely people are thinking that way
3:07
this time of the year. They start to go, my goodness, twenty
3:09
twenty three is over. I am another year older, like like what is
3:15
in next year twenty twenty four? Like the world is my oyster, so
3:19
to speak, And I can make decisions and commitments. So I challenge you,
3:23
if you're listening right now, make a decision, even if it's a
3:25
small one that can fan the flame of your health. You know's there's like
3:30
a little flicker of a flame on a candle that can be can be blown
3:35
out. So you don't want to do something more than then you just revert
3:38
back to what you were doing. But just these small incremental choices, you
3:43
know, it could be could be walking, it could be meditating, it
3:46
could be a multi vitamin, like in the area of your health. Think
3:50
about that this January, this New Year's resolution, Like, what's one small
3:53
thing you can do that you can actually hold the ground on and move your
3:57
health forward. So I challenge you, and we're at the Healthy Place,
4:00
super happy to try to inspire you and educate and guide your experience. And
4:04
if you're battling a condition like this is a special challenge. It's one thing
4:09
if you want a better quality of life, more energy or stress, a
4:11
little less anxiety, better sleep. But then there's another group of people,
4:14
Sean, that are like suffering, like straight up chronic pain depression PTSD,
4:20
digestive disorders, the list goes on. And if you're suffering, I would
4:24
challenge you to just ask the healthy place, Just ask one of our wellness
4:29
consultants for some information on specific condition, and then you can have that in
4:33
your back pocket. Because we are really good and we keep getting better each
4:36
year. I'm very proud of our army of wellness consultants. We work like
4:40
a hive to educate each other, to educate our community, to be reaching
4:44
out to those experts around the world that know more in these different areas than
4:48
we do, and we keep adding to that knowledge base. And it's exciting
4:53
because if you have a condition, there's a natural alternative that's been working with
4:58
that condition. It doesn't mean that that always works the first time, it
5:01
doesn't mean that it will always work period, but often, like so often,
5:06
Sean, we're seeing such success in these chronic condition type areas and folks
5:12
tend to be surprised, and if they're in our industry for a while,
5:15
it's a little bit different. They're sort of like aware of nutraceuticals and medicinals
5:19
that have these powerful attributes, but so much of our community is trying these
5:24
things to treat these conditions for the first time in their lives, and they
5:28
hadn't heard of them from their medical doctor, maybe from their pharmacists, so
5:31
it's just been out of sight, out of mind. So they come into
5:34
the healthy place, they're like, hey, I have this condition. I've
5:36
heard you guys are pretty good at like finding or recommending natural alternatives that are
5:41
helpful, and you know, let's try it. And then they come back
5:44
three weeks later and they sort of have this look in their eyes, and
5:46
it's my favorite looks because it's kind of like, you know, to be
5:47
honest, Tim, I didn't think this would work. I tried it because
5:50
I was sort of in a corner and it's working, Like, thank you,
5:54
guys. And that's been our testimony again and again and again for going
5:57
on almost you know, fourteen years now. You Know, one of the
6:00
things I love too is is you use that word impact as a verb and
6:02
you and you use that, and I think sometimes people don't always think about
6:08
what kind of impact these these lifestyle changes can have and how it how it
6:13
cannot just impact the individual, but the people that they care about and the
6:16
people around them. Is is having better health, having having better energy,
6:21
having all of these things not only are they great for the person, not
6:25
only the great for you, but your family, your friends, your productivity,
6:29
all of these things. And imprisonment, Well that's what I get excited
6:31
about, you know. I think I've shared my story before as a youngster
6:34
sort of like coming at this crossroads in life, and do I want to
6:38
keep going down this sort of like dark path of of misbehavior and irresponsible and
6:44
not caring or should I go down this path of sort of like like life
6:47
is a gift, and uh, you know, health is a gift,
6:50
and you can make an impact and you can change lives, and so I
6:53
change. I chose like that positive route some years ago. And one thing
6:57
that struck me so so hard at the time, well maybe some years after,
7:01
is seeing the effect of my health choice affecting those around me and then
7:08
seeing their lives change to some degree because of that, and then considering the
7:14
people they know and how their lives were impacted. And it's this ripple effect,
7:18
this butter butterfly effect that's real. Like we all know a thousand people,
7:23
and those thousand people know a thousand people, so we're two people away
7:26
from a billion. Like each one of us has the ability to cause significant
7:30
change in our areas of influence and beyond. Talking this morning with Tim O'Brien
7:34
from The Healthy Place. Got a question for Tim, love to have you
7:38
join us this morning, whether it's something for you or somebody you care about.
7:41
Great opportunity to start that conversation. All I got to just pick up
7:43
phone gifts call six oh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six oh
7:46
eight three two one thirteen ten, gets you right on the air with Tim
7:50
O'Brien from the Healthy Place. Don't forget about the website, find You're a
7:54
Healthy Place dot com. That's fine, your Healthy Place dot com. Three
7:57
locations west end of Madison, Fitzburgen's Sun and again phone lines are open as
8:01
well. I said, by the way earlier verb impact now and impact although
8:05
the verb you know, it's kind of well, impact you in the gun
8:09
if you need it. All that. We've also got some great emails as
8:15
well this morning. If you ever have a question, can email contact Tim
8:18
at find your Healthy Place dot com. That's Tim t I m at find
8:22
your Healthy Place dot com. And Jordan writes in Jordan says, what are
8:26
your suggestions for managing joint stiffness and UH and discomfort caused by osteoarthritis? There
8:35
we go, I can I can read this morning to great question, my
8:39
friend. Oste Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease and it's like the tissues in
8:46
the joint breakdown over time, and it's common UH type of arthritis overall.
8:50
It's it's more common in elder folks. And there are natural remedies that are
8:56
you know, really helping in this area. So pro probably the number one
9:01
selling product for this exact issue that we sell. There's a bunch of good
9:05
ones out there. Joint Jive is one of the better ones I have worked
9:09
with by Lively Vitamin co. It has a robust list. So the serving
9:13
size is a four capsule serving, so it's robust. You know, you
9:16
take four capsules once per day and it is loaded with your top goodies.
9:22
So from a stiffness standpoint, you know, folks tend to experience that like
9:30
after they've been resting for a little while, or maybe when they're first waking
9:33
up in the morning and it is tough to even move at all. You
9:37
know, you can have a period of inactivity where you're like, dang,
9:39
I can't move. That's how intense it can get. So bringing lubricating compounds
9:45
into the system that lubricate the body, that lubricate the joints, the muscles,
9:50
the ligaments, the tendons, that is a good idea. So hyaluronic
9:56
acid is in joint give for example. It's a required component of collagen,
10:00
cartilage and joint fluid. So it helps nourish the shock absorbing sort of like
10:03
cushions in your spine and joints and lubricates them for that flexibility, mobility,
10:09
elasticity, and reduces pain. Bosuilia is in joint jive. It stops pain.
10:15
Like people feel a difference on joint give in the first forty five minutes
10:18
because of some of these anti inflammatories and inflammation. You know, it damages
10:24
and wears a way at your cartilage and bone and joints, so you want
10:28
to keep that inflammation down. Kercumin is in there as well, which is
10:31
another anti inflammatory collagen it so it's a very packed out formula. I'd encourage
10:37
joint Jive for you listening if you're battling osteoarthritis, and I'd encourage a second
10:41
product called Kira Relief. And Kira Relief is more of like a stop pain
10:46
now formula, whereas joint Jive is a little bit more of a flexibility,
10:50
mobility ousticity, sort of like a foundational supplement. So those two together have
10:56
been knocking it out of the park when it comes to osteoarthritis. And if
10:58
you're listening and you have a loved one that has oster arthritis, or maybe
11:01
you do, and you're like, what did he just say? Shoot me
11:05
an email? All you got to remember is Tim and our website find your

11:18
just want to encourage you if you're listening, you don't have to live in
11:22
that constant pain, stiffness, inflammatory state. There's natural alternatives that are working
11:26
every day. Great email this morning, Jordan. As Tim mentioned, you
11:30

12:48
Let's find your Healthy Place dot com phone lines they are open as well
12:52
right now six oh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six oh eight
12:56
three two one thirteen ten. While you're talking and answering Jordan's question about osteoarthritis
13:03
and talking about stiffness, I see all my neighbors and occasionally me bend it
13:07
down to pick up all those boxes pile up on their front stoop. This
13:11
time a year, with the holidays and Christmas coming right up. What a
13:15
great way to really show appreciation for the people in your life. Get them
13:20
a gift card, start them on that journey. As we were talking in
13:22
that earlier segment just about one of the words I love that you use is
13:26
impact. What a great way to have an impact folks around you, Then
13:30
helping them start that journey by getting them a gift card and you guys have
13:33
them available. I love the idea of a gift, either in the form
13:35
of a gift card or an actual product. So it's funny. Some people
13:39
will be given a gift card and that's what it takes to get them going.
13:43
And others, though, will get a gift card and it'll sit in
13:46
their car for like fourteen years and they'll be like, oh yeah, So
13:50
either way, getting the gift for somebody helping them just take it. Like
13:56
if it's osteoarthritis, like you're chatting about, just buy a joint jive for
13:58
Christmas, give it to them, get some literature in there. And it's
14:01
interesting. The it's it's cliche now, but the gift of health, like
14:07
it means something to people in a different way because you're not just caring about
14:11
like what excites them in life. You're caring about like their actual life itself.
14:15
And so it's very meaningful and it's powerful to somebody and it impacts them
14:18
in sort of like a way that's beyond a new Nintendo or something like that.
14:24
So I do I love that. Yeah, we have gift cards on
14:26
our website in our stores. Certainly that's a great idea. And then if
14:28
you have somebody that you think could use a little bit more direct help,
14:33
like just buy them the product. Like come in, say what the condition
14:35
is and what's been working for our community, will recommend it and we can
14:39
try it out. That's a cool thing to you, a tim, as
14:41
you illustrated, I hadn't even thought about that. Sometimes you know, you
14:45
get that get that gift card, it's not until somebody says makes that next
14:48
step themselves. Sometimes it's the next day. Sometimes it's a couple of years
14:52
down the road. But what a great way to do that stuff. And
14:54
I'm the other thing too, is I enjoy about visiting the Healthy Place and
14:58
folks who haven't had an op ortunity to get on in whether it's the West
15:01
Side, Fitchburg or sun Prairie. Also available online is chatting with wellness consultants.
15:05
And this is a cool thing that you guys do at the Healthy Place
15:09
and these these people and there's a reason why you refer to, you know,
15:13
their wellness consultants and not salespeople. Is they're literally there to help you
15:18
find a path towards living better. And I know your background and one of
15:24
the things when you started the Healthy Place, you really didn't want you didn't
15:26
want to have people out on the sales floor. Maybe, yeah, you
15:31
know, we you know previously nothing wrong with GNC. I'm not not hating
15:33
on them, but I was on a commission structure, and I remember the
15:37
temptation as a nineteen year old to like sell this product because there's this two
15:41
dollars commission on it. So then as an owner coming into the Healthy Place
15:45
in Madison, really wanting to cause change in Madison Dane County and really impact
15:50
people's health and life expectancy and drug consumption. And you know, I decided
15:54
for our wellness consultants are our sales team, you know, not to incentivize
16:00
them with commission in certain directions because it's such a personal relationship. When you
16:04
come into our stores, you're going to be met with a wellness consultant that
16:07
cares like we hire for integrity and passion more than we hire for knowledge and
16:15
sales ability. Knowledge around our supplements can be trained, So we have a
16:19
three month training program before people can consistently work with customers, and they have
16:23
to have vendor trainings and role play with managers, and they have to watch
16:27
videos and we have a course that they go through that we developed, which
16:30
I'm super proud of and I think that's super cool. Beyond that, so
16:33
when you're coming in, like you're met with a consultant that cares about you,
16:38
Like their goal is to help you. Because the best way to impact
16:44
our community here is to ask questions, you know, like what is bothering
16:48
you? How long has this been an issue? How intense is the issue?
16:51
Might be three top questions, and then you know, they walk around
16:56
the store, grab a couple bottles and bring them back and explain them.
17:00
And you know, one common phrase we say is, hey, there's no
17:03
pressure to buy this now, Like we want our community to know about this
17:07
information because knowledge is power. And if you want to take your health,
17:11
you know by the horns, so to speak, you want to become the
17:15
CEO of your own health, Like you need more knowledge. Like we don't
17:18
just want to follow somebody that is smart, Like we want to collect information
17:23
and make a decision for our health because everybody's so different. So that's what
17:27
our wellness consultants will do. They'll come along side of you. They're on
17:30
your side, looking at the problem, saying, hey, here's a couple
17:33
of things that we have been seeing help and when you're ready, you can
17:37
give them a shot and then we give you information and it's just fun.
17:40
Same with our chat feature on our website, Like I encourage the community use
17:44
that chat feature, you know, submit your question whatever it is, and
17:47
you'll have a wellness consultant respond to you, and you're not like obligated to
17:51
buy anything. And we just want to be this resource in our community.
17:53
I like to say all the time, you know, we're not doctors,
17:56
we're not pharmacists. We're not pretending to be or trying to be very vocal
18:00
about that. What we're really good at and what our expertise expertise is is
18:04
the brands of supplements that are good, better, best, and the forms
18:07
of ingredients within those supplements that are good, better, best. And then
18:11
we happen to also be passionate about quality sourcing, like where's it coming from,
18:15
how's it breaking down in your body? Because all of these questions are
18:18
pretty important to getting you results. You know what I like too get into
18:22
the whether it's West Side, Fitchburg or sun Prairie, and it's they're clean,
18:26
they're comfortable, they're very welcoming and as you mentioned too, Tim,
18:30
is it's not a it's it's it's if it's not today, let's start this
18:33
conversation, let's start this journey. And I know you guys have a little
18:37
area and all the stores where you've got all sorts of different piece of literature
18:41
and different flyers and information and little booklets and things people can read and really
18:47
educate themselves as they work that wellness consultant that can talk with them and give
18:51
them guidance and give them help, but also give them more information to say,
18:53
Okay, here's here's some of the research, here's some of the you
18:57
know, here's what we're seeing. And then the other thing that I absolutely
19:00
love is you guys have and this is the thing I absolutely love about the
19:04
Healthy Place is there's more than one path. Is if people say, well
19:10
I want to maybe maybe a different a different way of taking it different,
19:15
you know all that stuff. You guys have a huge variety and people will
19:18
be amazed. If you haven't been to the Healthy Place, get in well
19:22
that thanks for pointing that, Thanks for pointing that out, because like that's
19:25
one piece of feedback that I didn't see coming that that I didn't mean to
19:29
make happen. So when when you just have a consultant team that's not incentivized
19:34
by commission, then they come alongside the community in a different way, and
19:37
you talk things through and you are creative together, and you check in two
19:42
weeks later and find out this is working or it's not working, and then
19:47
we ask more questions and so then we work together. So then what what
19:49
the response that I didn't see coming was from the community was, you know,
19:53
I haven't really had that many people in my life like talk to me
19:57
this way about my health, like really seemingly care about my health, like
20:03
like truly in action and in follow up and in conversation and relationship, because
20:08
it turns into like, hey, hey Rocky, you know, like,
20:12
hey, we've known you seven years here, like you have these three issues
20:17
going on, We got those under control. We're still working on this one
20:18
over here. And it's like this relationship over the last seven years, and
20:22
I give Rocky high five every time I see him, and it's just it's
20:25
pretty cool. So whether whether it's a one time thing, whether you're just
20:27
