- 0:29Speaker 2: Wow, Hey, good afternoon, and welcome to another episode of
- 0:37Speaker 2: Wellness Uncensored with Patty G. I'm excited to be here today.
- 0:42Speaker 2: We have come to you live as part of this
- 0:46Speaker 2: is our third year coming to you after the pandemic
- 0:52Speaker 2: and because of the pandemic, and because we really want
- 0:54Speaker 2: to get good information to folks for your health, for
- 0:57Speaker 2: your mind, for your body, for your spirit, and to
- 0:59Speaker 2: really help you feel prepared for just about anything that
- 1:04Speaker 2: could come your way. What I wanted to share with
- 1:07Speaker 2: you all today is brain health, and it really starts
- 1:10Speaker 2: with physical health. And physical health is your physical body,
- 1:14Speaker 2: and it's what we do to it. It's what we
- 1:16Speaker 2: put into it, what it's what we let our mind
- 1:20Speaker 2: to get infused with. It's what we let our mind
- 1:23Speaker 2: think about or not think about. So a couple quick
- 1:26Speaker 2: things for housekeeping. You know, next week we're coming up
- 1:29Speaker 2: into Thanksgiving and I wanted to give a special shout out.
- 1:32Speaker 2: You know, we have gone through several different months of recognition,
- 1:36Speaker 2: you know, for our soldiers, military folks, honoring our veterans,
- 1:42Speaker 2: honoring those who work in the military and military or
- 1:45Speaker 2: have retired from the military. We have talked about suicide
- 1:48Speaker 2: within and among the ranks, stop soldier suicide. We've also
- 1:53Speaker 2: talked about mental health and awareness and Suicide Prevention Month
- 1:57Speaker 2: and Mental Health Prevention Month. And so when I think
- 2:00Speaker 2: of all those things, I just want you to always
- 2:03Speaker 2: remember and be aware. You know, it starts with you.
- 2:06Speaker 2: There's a lot that you can't control. But the one
- 2:09Speaker 2: thing you can control is what you do to fuel
- 2:13Speaker 2: and take care of your body. And I know that
- 2:15Speaker 2: sounds really easy to some, it sounds really hard to some,
- 2:19Speaker 2: but there's nothing more that we can control in our
- 2:23Speaker 2: lives than starting with ourself first. And it's like the
- 2:27Speaker 2: nature of what you allow in is what you're going
- 2:31Speaker 2: to put out. And so even when it comes to
- 2:34Speaker 2: negative thoughts and feelings, those kinds of things, you've got
- 2:38Speaker 2: to turn off the dial. You've got to turn off
- 2:40Speaker 2: the noise, you know, and we have to be very careful.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Somebody shared this with me and I absolutely love it.
- 2:46Speaker 2: How much space do you want to let that problem
- 2:49Speaker 2: take up rent in your head? And when you think
- 2:52Speaker 2: about it, really the space in your brain and the
- 2:55Speaker 2: time that you give to things is extraordinarily important into
- 3:00Speaker 2: all the days that you have here on this planet.
- 3:03Speaker 2: And so if we let a lot of the noise
- 3:06Speaker 2: build up and clog our filter of our brain, really
- 3:11Speaker 2: what is our purpose? We may never find out or
- 3:14Speaker 2: figure out our purpose, and we will get distracted by
- 3:18Speaker 2: all the noise. On a couple of shows, we've talked about,
- 3:21Speaker 2: you know, insomnia and some natural ways to handle insomnia.
- 3:24Speaker 2: And again this is a physical way to address the
- 3:28Speaker 2: mind the brain to help it get rest. And so
- 3:31Speaker 2: you'll have to tune into a prior show to hear
- 3:33Speaker 2: a little bit about what we talked about natural ways
- 3:35Speaker 2: to heal insomnia. But it all goes hand in hand.
- 3:39Speaker 2: And so again the goal of Wellness and Censored is
- 3:41Speaker 2: to get you information that you may or may not
- 3:44Speaker 2: probably not see on mainstream media. You know, we're not
- 3:47Speaker 2: a fancy pharmaceutical, so we don't have a lot of
- 3:50Speaker 2: backing and you know, sales and money and dollars for promotions,
- 3:54Speaker 2: so you've got little of me down here, and so
- 3:57Speaker 2: I have spent more than decades working on wellness, health, fitness, mind, body, spirit,
- 4:04Speaker 2: you name it. And so I do feel definitely a
- 4:07Speaker 2: competent professional to share with you the things that I've learned,
- 4:11Speaker 2: share with you the things that I've implemented, and if
- 4:14Speaker 2: you take some of it or all of it, try it,
- 4:17Speaker 2: apply it and see if it doesn't help you to
- 4:19Speaker 2: become your best self. So, in talking about brain health,
- 4:23Speaker 2: the very largest nerve in the brain begins at the stem,
- 4:28Speaker 2: the base of the brain, the brain stem, and goes
- 4:31Speaker 2: all the way down into your colon, into your intestines.
- 4:35Speaker 2: It's called the vegus nerve. And the vagus nerve is
- 4:38Speaker 2: extremely important, especially for all things mental health, but also
- 4:42Speaker 2: for all things wellness. And so the vagus nerve, when
- 4:46Speaker 2: it is stimulated, it can be stimulated incorrectly or inappropriately.
- 4:51Speaker 2: It puts the body in a perpetual state of fight
- 4:53Speaker 2: or flight. It may not be in fight or flight
- 4:56Speaker 2: every minute of the day, but it could be in
- 4:58Speaker 2: fight or flight that a passed man, memory hurt, something
- 5:02Speaker 2: a trigger. Getting together with family around the holidays can
- 5:07Speaker 2: be good, but it can also be triggering. And I've
- 5:10Speaker 2: got patients already worried about the next coming days as
- 5:13Speaker 2: they go to see loved ones, because while they love them,
- 5:16Speaker 2: they don't always love talking to them or being asked
- 5:20Speaker 2: questions by them. And then others find a lot of
- 5:22Speaker 2: joy and a lot of soulace and being with love.
- 5:25Speaker 2: So wherever you are on that plane of love versus stress,
- 5:30Speaker 2: the vegus nerve is something that you can control. And
- 5:34Speaker 2: the vegus nerve is what we try to use when
- 5:36Speaker 2: we help people to get out of fight or flight
- 5:39Speaker 2: and to optimize yourself. And you can do a lot
- 5:41Speaker 2: to control the vegas nerve. The vegas nerve comes from
- 5:45Speaker 2: part of this sympathetic parasympathetic nervous system. This is on
- 5:48Speaker 2: the para sympathetic side, so it's almost it just it
- 5:51Speaker 2: responds like breathing. You don't think about breathing. Your vegus
- 5:55Speaker 2: nerve works without you thinking about it. But sometimes it
- 5:57Speaker 2: needs a little nudge. Vagus nerve. A lot of times
- 6:01Speaker 2: we talked about being stuck in fight or flight. There's
- 6:03Speaker 2: a couple of things you can do to reset or
- 6:07Speaker 2: calm or train your vagus nerve to do what you
- 6:10Speaker 2: want it to do, which is operate efficiently and react
- 6:14Speaker 2: when it needs to, but we don't want you to
- 6:15Speaker 2: be in that state all the time. The first and
- 6:18Speaker 2: most easiest thing to really work on balancing your vagus
- 6:21Speaker 2: nerve is to practice breathing. Deep breathing, relaxed breathing. The
- 6:26Speaker 2: breathing that I've talked about on several shows where you
- 6:29Speaker 2: can either just breathe in slowly deep breath in, hold
- 6:32Speaker 2: it and let it out, and just working to do
- 6:35Speaker 2: that about five to ten times and really help level
- 6:38Speaker 2: things out if you're having anxiety, you're in a panic attack,
- 6:42Speaker 2: or if you just can't seem to figure out why
- 6:44Speaker 2: you're so tense or stressed, or you're about to go
- 6:45Speaker 2: into a meeting, we're about to get out of the
- 6:48Speaker 2: car and go see an in law. Time to practice
- 6:50Speaker 2: a breathing, but we take it one step further and
- 6:53Speaker 2: you can actually also do some movement with it. And
- 6:57Speaker 2: why movement is so important is because if you just
- 7:00Speaker 2: the body as I'm talking and moving my hands, you
- 7:03Speaker 2: can draw a square or you can do a triangle.
- 7:07Speaker 2: And it's the same concept. Do you take a deep
- 7:09Speaker 2: breath in, hold it, let it out, deep breath in,
- 7:13Speaker 2: hold it, let it out, and you just mimic a shape.
- 7:17Speaker 2: You might do a triangle, you might do a square,
- 7:19Speaker 2: but doing that breathing really helps. The second thing is
- 7:22Speaker 2: and you know, I'd be remiss if I didn't tell
- 7:24Speaker 2: you I started out my day at Orange Theory movement.
- 7:28Speaker 2: Your body doesn't know whether you do jumping jacks or
- 7:31Speaker 2: you run, but you do have to do something physical.
- 7:35Speaker 2: And while I often try to not let my patients
- 7:39Speaker 2: see my face, what I'm really thinking when they tell
- 7:42Speaker 2: me that, Well, but I'm busy at work. Okay, for
- 7:45Speaker 2: all of you out there, being busy at work is
- 7:48Speaker 2: not what I'm talking about for physical activity. You may
- 7:51Speaker 2: have a very physical job, and your job could have
- 7:53Speaker 2: you running around climbing stairs, lifting equipment, lifting whatever. But
- 7:58Speaker 2: that is focused work, and there's goals, there's deadlines, and
- 8:02Speaker 2: it's stressful, and while it may be enjoyable, there's still
- 8:05Speaker 2: a stress response related to it. I'm talking about when
- 8:09Speaker 2: you were a kid. Let's think about this now. If
- 8:11Speaker 2: you're driving, don't close your eyes, but everybody else close
- 8:15Speaker 2: your eyes and just think about a moment. Do you
- 8:18Speaker 2: remember being out at recess and not a bad moment,
- 8:22Speaker 2: not a bullying moment, but a pleasant moment. Maybe playing tag.
- 8:25Speaker 2: I often think about when I was out at recess
- 8:27Speaker 2: and we had jungle gym, the monkey bars, we had
- 8:30Speaker 2: a merry go round, we had all kinds of things
- 8:32Speaker 2: to do and climb. We were challenging our bodies. So
- 8:35Speaker 2: I want you to have a fun moment. So you
- 8:38Speaker 2: need to incorporate some kind of fun movement in your day.
- 8:42Speaker 2: If you can only give me five minutes, let's start there.
- 8:45Speaker 2: When you get done today or before you start your
- 8:47Speaker 2: job tonight, go do some jumping jacks and go do
- 8:50Speaker 2: some pushups, and that's it, and build from there. But
- 8:54Speaker 2: you've got to have good physical movement, and you've got
- 8:56Speaker 2: to build up to a cardiac level because we've got
- 8:59Speaker 2: to train. The most important muscle in our body is
- 9:02Speaker 2: our heart. Okay, that's why it can't necessarily be work,
- 9:07Speaker 2: because you do a lot of stopping and starting at work,
- 9:09Speaker 2: and it's stressful and you're not thinking about working a
- 9:12Speaker 2: muscle group. You're thinking about getting this from point A
- 9:15Speaker 2: to point B, or you're running up the stairs. Is
- 9:17Speaker 2: it physical, yes, but after work, maybe do some yoga
- 9:21Speaker 2: or do pilates, anything that's going to get you with
- 9:24Speaker 2: continuous repetitive movement. And then we'll talk more about cardio
- 9:27Speaker 2: versus just movement. So that's the second thing. The third
- 9:31Speaker 2: thing I talk about this often too, massage. You could
- 9:35Speaker 2: do some gentle massage to yourself, you know, just press
- 9:38Speaker 2: and work out, stretch out kind of massage and loosen
- 9:41Speaker 2: up some of your muscles, do some stretching. But if
- 9:44Speaker 2: you can manage to have somebody maybe a partner or
- 9:47Speaker 2: spouse or go get a massage. It doesn't have to
- 9:50Speaker 2: be you know, a giant, high, botchy type beat you up,
- 9:54Speaker 2: you know, deep tissue massage, but a really good stretch,
- 9:58Speaker 2: release and work muscles. It's very good to be able
- 10:02Speaker 2: to do to get your body to reset for the
- 10:04Speaker 2: week or for the month. However often you can go.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Now my next favorite one. We talk about music all
- 10:11Speaker 2: the time. Music, the music you listen to is going
- 10:14Speaker 2: to either put good information or bad information into your head.
- 10:18Speaker 2: There's a couple things about music that are really important.
- 10:21Speaker 2: If you put music in your head that is sad,
- 10:26Speaker 2: it's not necessarily going to release the endorphins you want.
- 10:29Speaker 2: If you put music into your head and it's got
- 10:32Speaker 2: a lot of negative connotations, you know, beat or smack
- 10:37Speaker 2: or a whack or a hit or whatever you want
- 10:39Speaker 2: to call it. You know, music that is just even
- 10:41Speaker 2: if it's like a sad twang verse of like lost
- 10:45Speaker 2: my love and oh my god, you know my life
- 10:47Speaker 2: is terrible, that's not the kind of music I'm talking about.
- 10:51Speaker 2: I want you to listen to something that gives you
- 10:53Speaker 2: some sort of a positive or pleasant feeling, maybe when
- 10:56Speaker 2: you were younger. Typically, the music that we remember the best,
- 10:59Speaker 2: the most, that's got an imprint in our head. We
- 11:02Speaker 2: had learned this a while back when I had one
- 11:04Speaker 2: of the composers on. But it's the age of consent.
- 11:07Speaker 2: So listen to some music that brings up some good
- 11:10Speaker 2: memories from thirteen to eighteen or anything in between or
- 11:14Speaker 2: after that. You really have a good memory with the
- 11:16Speaker 2: song about. If you can have the music, music's great,
- 11:21Speaker 2: But if you can't. The other thing that's really helpful
- 11:24Speaker 2: is humming or singing. Now, some of us might just
- 11:27Speaker 2: hum or sing in the shower, but that's a great
- 11:31Speaker 2: place to start. But the actual act of humming, even
- 11:34Speaker 2: while I'm talking, there's a vibration going on that actually
- 11:37Speaker 2: is touching along my vagus nerve. Now, if I had
- 11:40Speaker 2: some talent in that department, which I don't I'd hum or,
- 11:43Speaker 2: I'd sing, but try to do it yourself. Why you're
- 11:46Speaker 2: listening to me, Just start humming hm. You feel that
- 11:50Speaker 2: vibration that actually will settle and help to reset your
- 11:54Speaker 2: vagus nerve. So with music, you can hum. With music,
- 11:58Speaker 2: you can do a little jiggle. I often talk to
- 12:01Speaker 2: my patients because some people don't really want to go dance,
- 12:04Speaker 2: but freestyle dancing, just moving your body around, shaking it
- 12:08Speaker 2: up and going it works phenomenal on the vegas nerve.
- 12:11Speaker 2: The last of the five tips for vegas nerve resec
- 12:15Speaker 2: is And if some of you can do this, it
- 12:17Speaker 2: would be great. But have you ever gone into cryotherapy
- 12:19Speaker 2: or a deep cold plunge. The cryotherapy is phenomenal and
- 12:24Speaker 2: I only made it for two minutes and forty seconds
- 12:26Speaker 2: the other day, but if you can get into a
- 12:29Speaker 2: place that does cryo, I'm trying to move myself because
- 12:32Speaker 2: the sun is shining so right here in Florida it's
- 12:34Speaker 2: starting to like blow up over my face. I guess
- 12:38Speaker 2: I'm getting little vitamin D. But cryotherapy is phenomenal and
- 12:41Speaker 2: you really can't stay in at more than three minutes,
- 12:43Speaker 2: but it goes down to levels of minus one seventy
- 12:47Speaker 2: and below beginners they go to like one forty. But
- 12:52Speaker 2: I worked myself to be an intermediate. But if you
- 12:54Speaker 2: can't do a cold plunge or a cryotherapy, get a
- 12:57Speaker 2: cold compress or an ice pack and just place it
- 13:00Speaker 2: right over your cheeks, over your sinuses, and over your eyebrows,
- 13:04Speaker 2: and just doing that for thirty seconds repetitively for like
- 13:08Speaker 2: you know, five times can really also help to reset
- 13:12Speaker 2: your vegus nerve. So how am I doing on here?
- 13:15Speaker 2: Do I look like I'm glowing? Rebel? Am? I like shining?
- 13:18Speaker 2: It's terrible what I'm seeing. I can't even really see myself.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Showing the sunlight on it flips down.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I go, I gotta find a better angle. Here we go.
- 13:29Speaker 2: That's not much better. I have this window and I
- 13:32Speaker 2: can't there's no cover for it. Okay, well we'll go
- 13:35Speaker 2: with this for now, all right. So that's the part
- 13:38Speaker 2: about the vegus nerve, and hopefully that's helpful to you guys.
- 13:42Speaker 2: But just consider walking, stretching, moving. You've got to get
- 13:46Speaker 2: your body to respond. And so for many of you
- 13:48Speaker 2: who are out there, and I know you all are,
- 13:50Speaker 2: because the world is chock full of stress. I'd love
- 13:53Speaker 2: to hear from just one person who's not stressed, and
- 13:56Speaker 2: let's see how long that lasts. So you've got to
- 13:58Speaker 2: do a lot of things. Last week we talked about
- 14:00Speaker 2: ADHD and different attention type challenges and how to really
- 14:03Speaker 2: reset and focus your mind. But remember I talked about magnesium,
- 14:07Speaker 2: and magnesium is a powerful supplement that you can use
- 14:12Speaker 2: to also help you calm down, and a lot of
- 14:14Speaker 2: times we use it at night. But magnesium listening, you know,
- 14:18Speaker 2: just two to six hundred milligrams in the day will
- 14:21Speaker 2: really help you to calm down. The other part to
- 14:24Speaker 2: think about, too, is and we always talk about this.
- 14:28Speaker 2: I should be happy this sunshine. I'm trying to get
- 14:31Speaker 2: away to here we go, all right, I'm shifting left
- 14:35Speaker 2: so crazy that I have this problem. It's you know,
- 14:37Speaker 2: with the time change, it's made it a little more
- 14:40Speaker 2: difficult to try to find a good spot in the den.
- 14:43Speaker 2: But fueling the body and protein and hydrating are always
- 14:47Speaker 2: really super big important things that I need you to
- 14:49Speaker 2: do on a daily basis. But here's a couple fun
- 14:52Speaker 2: facts about the brain that you might not know. While
- 14:55Speaker 2: the brain can be an incredible multitasker, it does control emotion,
- 15:00Speaker 2: memories and your heartbeat. So to have the most optimal
- 15:03Speaker 2: well being of your brain, your mother board, your circuit,
- 15:06Speaker 2: you really need to take good care of it. It's
- 15:09Speaker 2: really up to you. You have the power. No one
- 15:12Speaker 2: can help feel you without you being willing to make
- 15:15Speaker 2: the change. So I encourage all of you. I've got
- 15:18Speaker 2: a really just an amazing trauma group that I work
- 15:21Speaker 2: with every Thursday night, and we are on a ninety
- 15:24Speaker 2: day challenge to get them into the new year. Because
- 15:27Speaker 2: if you're all going to wait till January first to
- 15:29Speaker 2: start a new goal, you're going to be so far behind.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Start now, get a launch, because this coming week is Thanksgiving,
- 15:39Speaker 2: and you know you're going to start with all of
- 15:42Speaker 2: the turkey and all of the trimmings and all of
- 15:44Speaker 2: the dessert. So make a plan now, and as you
- 15:47Speaker 2: get into Thanksgiving and go fast forward, perhaps Friday next
- 15:52Speaker 2: week is a good day to start. The brain it
- 15:55Speaker 2: only weighs three pounds and in a healthy brain and
- 16:00Speaker 2: a wobbly and jiggly like jello. But sixty percent of
- 16:03Speaker 2: the brain, the weight of it is made up of fats.
- 16:06Speaker 2: But what fuels the brain more than anything else's protein.
- 16:11Speaker 2: The signals that go through your brain go at a
- 16:14Speaker 2: speed of two hundred and sixty eight miles an hour.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Think about that. You know we drive, some of us
- 16:20Speaker 2: drive fast. Our brain goes faster than many in the
- 16:25Speaker 2: sports cars. In terms of electrical energy, it operates with
- 16:29Speaker 2: about twenty three watts of power, which is enough to
- 16:33Speaker 2: light up a little light bulb. So I don't know
- 16:35Speaker 2: if you stuck a light bulb to your head if
- 16:36Speaker 2: it would actually go off. But hey, who knows. Why
- 16:40Speaker 2: I talk about the pandemic is because we did a
- 16:43Speaker 2: lot of damage to ourselves during the pandemic, and in
- 16:46Speaker 2: that time, it's where I decided I needed to shift
- 16:49Speaker 2: gears to really get out there and help the rest
- 16:51Speaker 2: of the world because I couldn't help the people in
- 16:53Speaker 2: the Oval Office of Healthcare, so I decided to reach
- 16:57Speaker 2: out to all of you. But according to the World
- 17:00Speaker 2: Health Organization, there's so many issues that impact mental health
- 17:05Speaker 2: that over a quarter of the global population with depression
- 17:09Speaker 2: ranks as the top cause of disability worldwide. And during
- 17:13Speaker 2: COVID nineteen, the pandemic worsened with global mental health. By
- 17:17Speaker 2: of course, we know stress, anxiety, depression, feelings of isolation,
- 17:22Speaker 2: and that that long term effect can be so detrimental,
- 17:26Speaker 2: and I'm not so sure. Let me have to move
- 17:28Speaker 2: to a whole other location. This is terrible. I don't
- 17:32Speaker 2: know what to do. As long as you can all
- 17:33Speaker 2: see me and hear me. Probably half if you can't
- 17:35Speaker 2: even see me because you're driving, so it's probably more
- 17:37Speaker 2: an issue to me than you. So I'm in the sun.
- 17:41Speaker 2: But anyway, mental health resources do exist out there. But
- 17:45Speaker 2: what we're here to talk about today is how we
- 17:46Speaker 2: can help you in your day to day life. And
- 17:49Speaker 2: I wanted to go through just a couple of things
- 17:52Speaker 2: to really boost your brain. A couple things to think
- 17:55Speaker 2: about from food, things we don't want to eat. And
- 17:58Speaker 2: I know these are things that many of you have
- 18:00Speaker 2: probably already heard about, but sugary drinks, sugar, the sugar
- 18:05Speaker 2: is going to be a Petri dish for you to grow.
- 18:09Speaker 2: It just makes everything inflamed. It slows your digestion down
- 18:15Speaker 2: when you have a donut or you have a piece
- 18:16Speaker 2: of cake. Have you ever noticed you get really tired
- 18:19Speaker 2: about twenty thirty minutes. You just like to close your
- 18:21Speaker 2: eyes for a minute. High sodium sodium snacks, chips, the
- 18:27Speaker 2: carbohydrates like the doughnuts, any of the trans fats, food additives,
- 18:31Speaker 2: and dyes. Processed food. If it's in a bag or
- 18:34Speaker 2: a box and you've got a microwave or put liquid
- 18:38Speaker 2: in it to make it consistent, you probably want to
- 18:42Speaker 2: try to avoid it. Get fresh fruits, fresh grains, fresh
- 18:45Speaker 2: leafy vegetables, you know, fresh meat, fresh chicken, and cook
- 18:49Speaker 2: it up air fry, try not to depry it. Some
- 18:53Speaker 2: of the other things you really need to avoid. Alcohol.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Alcohol has such an effect on the liver and the
- 18:59Speaker 2: lit where's your master detoxifier? So if your liver is
- 19:03Speaker 2: really overrun, how are you going to detoxify? And then
- 19:07Speaker 2: the kidneys, you know, the kidneys are your major plumbing system.
- 19:10Speaker 2: If those kidneys aren't producing enough correctly, what happens is
- 19:14Speaker 2: all of your elements of sodium and chloride, they all
- 19:17Speaker 2: get backed up and you start to retain fluid and water,
- 19:21Speaker 2: and then that backs up into your heart and lungs
- 19:23Speaker 2: and you start to retain fluid. So so many of
- 19:26Speaker 2: these foods that are not nutrients are really detrimental to
- 19:30Speaker 2: your brain. Some of the foods we just mentioned, but
- 19:33Speaker 2: like dark, dark leafy greens, citrus fruits, legumes, fermented foods.
- 19:38Speaker 2: I have to tell you, I really enjoy a kombucha,
- 19:40Speaker 2: the non alcoholic kind, and if you guys haven't tried it,
- 19:45Speaker 2: it's definitely a delicacy. In fact, not just kombucha, but
- 19:50Speaker 2: sour kraut. If you've all, I am like the sour kraut.
- 19:54Speaker 2: I don't know where I'm going to go. All right,
- 19:56Speaker 2: here we go.
- 19:58Speaker 1: You look wonderful.
- 20:01Speaker 2: To what you're saying. We understand about the side. Be still,
- 20:05Speaker 2: I can't see. Okay, now I can see. So for
- 20:08Speaker 2: the healthy foods, do you like broccoli? Do you like salmon?
- 20:12Speaker 2: Do you like berries? I always try to have people
- 20:15Speaker 2: find your favorite foods. If they're foods that you don't like,
- 20:17Speaker 2: there's no point in trying to get you to force
- 20:19Speaker 2: feed them because you're not going to be successful. But
- 20:21Speaker 2: if you go through the list of different ones, we've
- 20:23Speaker 2: got avocados and eggs. Even coffee has the benefits the
- 20:28Speaker 2: coffee beans. The caffeine, you know, sometimes can give us
- 20:31Speaker 2: some challenges. But beets and tomatoes. Try to use a
- 20:36Speaker 2: virgin olive oil versus some of the other canola different
- 20:40Speaker 2: types of oil. Those are the things that you should
- 20:42Speaker 2: try to have to eat, and then I wanted to
- 20:45Speaker 2: talk about a couple of supplements. I often talk about
- 20:48Speaker 2: any D, and any D is such a master contributor
- 20:52Speaker 2: to the cell turnover in your body, even if you
- 20:55Speaker 2: get it in capsule form, I often talk about getting
- 20:57Speaker 2: it by injection. I've had some folks on here. We've
- 21:00Speaker 2: talked about some peptides and injections. At least if you're
- 21:03Speaker 2: getting it in a capsule form, you're getting some of
- 21:06Speaker 2: that energy to help improve your metabolic turnover. And ANYD
- 21:12Speaker 2: has been shown to help with cancer. It helps with
- 21:15Speaker 2: the nervous system, to regulate your nervous system, which can
- 21:17Speaker 2: help with anxiety. You can find some sources of ANAD
- 21:21Speaker 2: in chicken, turkey, salmon. I don't know if any of
- 21:25Speaker 2: you like liver, peanuts, beans and eggs, and whole grains.
- 21:30Speaker 2: But if you can't, check out my website if you
- 21:34Speaker 2: go under Magnoivywellness dot com. We've got a little drop
- 21:38Speaker 2: down on there for supplements. You can find some NAD
- 21:40Speaker 2: on there. The other one that's super important for brain cognition,
- 21:45Speaker 2: decreasing anxiety. All things considered, ADHD memory Omega three and
- 21:52Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of drinking of taking those
- 21:54Speaker 2: little horse capsules. But a lot of people don't have
- 21:57Speaker 2: problem with it and you just get it into your gut.
- 21:59Speaker 2: But if you do, they actually have liquid forms of it.
- 22:02Speaker 2: It's mixed with some flavored fruits and things, and so
- 22:06Speaker 2: it definitely makes it much more palatable. But Omega three
- 22:10Speaker 2: also helps with inflammation, and our goal is to keep
- 22:14Speaker 2: our body as least inflamed as possible. And when you
- 22:18Speaker 2: think about all the things that go on just in
- 22:20Speaker 2: the environment, even catching a cold. We talked about that
- 22:24Speaker 2: last week. Fighting off the inflammation from a cold can
- 22:27Speaker 2: be really challenging, but imagine what the effects are on
- 22:31Speaker 2: your brain. So Dha part of the Omega three it's
- 22:35Speaker 2: really really helpful and important. If you've ever used probiotics,
- 22:39Speaker 2: it's again another thing to fuel your brain with the probiotics.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Using the probiotics and some of the supplements we're talking
- 22:47Speaker 2: about today can actually diminish some symptoms beyond the anxiety
- 22:52Speaker 2: and the depression, but autism, irritability, some of the different
- 22:58Speaker 2: cognition issues with aspergers people that are on the spectrum.
- 23:02Speaker 2: If you find folks that are on the spectrum and
- 23:04Speaker 2: they also struggle with irritability and attention and focus. Diet
- 23:08Speaker 2: is everything to them. And while they may not like
- 23:11Speaker 2: certain foods, if you are someone who suffers from this,
- 23:15Speaker 2: or if you have a child or a teenager, it
- 23:17Speaker 2: can be tough to get that healthy appetite going and
- 23:20Speaker 2: somebody who's so picky. But as you can assimilate and
- 23:23Speaker 2: make some changes in their diet, the behavior will come along,
- 23:26Speaker 2: the cognition will go up, the receptiveness will improve, So
- 23:30Speaker 2: definitely something to consider. There's another item out there or
- 23:33Speaker 2: product called reversatil. Reversatol can be very helpful with increasing
- 23:38Speaker 2: blood flow to the brain and it protects your brain,
- 23:41Speaker 2: so it's a natural neuroprotectedt and reversatol can be found again,
- 23:47Speaker 2: probably even on Amazon. But it's a great supplement to use.
- 23:50Speaker 2: And if you want to get reversatol in food, naturally, grapes, blueberries,
- 23:59Speaker 2: even dark chocolate. There's a reason to have some chocolate.
- 24:02Speaker 2: It does carry the element of reversatol in their peanut
- 24:07Speaker 2: butter has it, and so does red currants, which I
- 24:10Speaker 2: don't think I've ever eaten. And then I've talked about
- 24:14Speaker 2: melatonin and nac that melatonin is actually made in your brain.
- 24:20Speaker 2: It's a hormone, and while its job is to control
- 24:24Speaker 2: your body's internal clock, it really can be very helpful
- 24:28Speaker 2: at fighting off bacteria. Melatonin was used kind of it
- 24:32Speaker 2: one of those off labels early on with people who
- 24:35Speaker 2: had COVID symptoms, and it was part of a protocol
- 24:38Speaker 2: that was really helpful to work against inflammation. In food,
- 24:43Speaker 2: melatonin can be found in tart cherries and in walnuts, almonds, oats,
- 24:47Speaker 2: and sweet potatoes. And again, melatonin has a little bit
- 24:52Speaker 2: of a misnomer. People take it to go to sleep
- 24:54Speaker 2: and then they say, well, but I can't sleep. You
- 24:56Speaker 2: need to use melatonin to turn your brain off, but
- 24:58Speaker 2: you also need to use gabba gaba to keep it off.
- 25:02Speaker 2: And then one of my favorites nac NEC. It's called
- 25:06Speaker 2: nicutyl cysteine. The cysteine is the amino acid that's made
- 25:10Speaker 2: in your body, and it's part of what makes up glucathion,
- 25:14Speaker 2: and the NAC to the glucathion to detoxifying your body
- 25:18Speaker 2: is what you want to remember, because if you take thilinol,
- 25:21Speaker 2: you turn off the glucathion for twenty four hours. So
- 25:24Speaker 2: if you don't take chilinol and you want to really
- 25:27Speaker 2: work to help detoxify your body and keep your cells healthy.
- 25:30Speaker 2: NAC is a great precursor because it helps to produce
- 25:33Speaker 2: glucathione and it's just great to help your cells to repair.
- 25:38Speaker 2: You can find NAC in things like turkey, chicken eggs,
- 25:42Speaker 2: and chickpeas, but again maybe not in the quantities that
- 25:47Speaker 2: could be really beneficial because we just don't often eat
- 25:49Speaker 2: enough of those. One of my favorites I mentioned the
- 25:52Speaker 2: last few last few groups that we've talked about attention deficit,
- 25:57Speaker 2: but lithium oritate. I've been hearing more and more people
- 26:00Speaker 2: talk about lithium oritate. It is lithium. It is not
- 26:04Speaker 2: the medication. And while lithium oritate it's naturally occurring, it
- 26:09Speaker 2: helps to improve your body's mental awareness, focus and attention
- 26:15Speaker 2: and sort of reregulate you if you're irritable or unable
- 26:20Speaker 2: to sit still. But it helps to produce more dopamine,
- 26:24Speaker 2: It helps to produce more glutamate. It is a natural
- 26:27Speaker 2: protector in the brain. And while it really can help
- 26:30Speaker 2: too with your internal clock, it does shield against some
- 26:34Speaker 2: of the different environmental toxins that are out there that
- 26:38Speaker 2: we talk about trying to reduce some of those free radicals,
- 26:41Speaker 2: so lithium oritate. You can start out with one to
- 26:44Speaker 2: two milligrams a day, you can go up as high
- 26:47Speaker 2: as five to ten miligrams a day, and I've actually
- 26:49Speaker 2: got some people that will go as high as twenty
- 26:51Speaker 2: milligrams a day. If you're really worried about it, I mean,
- 26:55Speaker 2: certainly check with your provider. Unless they practice functional medicine
- 26:59Speaker 2: or hooleess medicine, they probably don't even know that the
- 27:01Speaker 2: supplement exists. And in patients where we actually use lithium,
- 27:06Speaker 2: you know, we check lithium levels. I am sure if
- 27:09Speaker 2: you had somebody check your lithium level and you're on
- 27:11Speaker 2: lithium orientate, it's a great way just to see if
- 27:14Speaker 2: you're taking too much. But generally speaking you're going to
- 27:17Speaker 2: be okay. Metho folate, how many of you guys have
- 27:21Speaker 2: heard about metho folate. This is the part of a
- 27:25Speaker 2: form that helps you not just with improving depression, it
- 27:29Speaker 2: also helps with bipolar disorder. But if you have low
- 27:33Speaker 2: folic acid levels A lot of times we worry about
- 27:35Speaker 2: this and pregnant woman, but with a low folate level,
- 27:40Speaker 2: if you supplement with metho folate. It helps to repair
- 27:44Speaker 2: and helps to uptake the vitamin and nutrients of supplements
- 27:49Speaker 2: and food that you're putting in your body. So an
- 27:51Speaker 2: L methyl folate usually seven and a half to fifteen
- 27:54Speaker 2: grams a day can be very good as sort of
- 27:57Speaker 2: a transport system to make your b vitemin and some
- 28:01Speaker 2: of your other minerals really be much better absorbed in
- 28:08Speaker 2: your body. And oh, we've got a couple questions. They
- 28:11Speaker 2: just popped up walking. You know, as far as movement
- 28:15Speaker 2: and fitness, walking does count. You want to take into
- 28:19Speaker 2: consideration all the work you do. If you go for
- 28:21Speaker 2: a good mile walk, it doesn't have to be a jog,
- 28:24Speaker 2: certainly doesn't have to be a run. But if you're
- 28:26Speaker 2: moving and you're kind of swinging your arms a little bit,
- 28:29Speaker 2: if you're breathing a little deeper, i'd like to see
- 28:34Speaker 2: some sweat. But as long as you're walking and walking
- 28:37Speaker 2: briskly and you do it for at least twelve to
- 28:39Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, longer is better. So like if you're really
- 28:42Speaker 2: going to go for a good walk, a good thirty
- 28:44Speaker 2: to forty five minute walk because it's a slower pace.
- 28:47Speaker 2: But as long as you're getting close to fifteen minutes
- 28:49Speaker 2: and you're probably getting your heart right up close to
- 28:51Speaker 2: fifty percent of your exercise capacity. So that would be
- 28:55Speaker 2: really that would be really helpful. And again these things ideally,
- 29:00Speaker 2: if you're going to do load to moderate work, it
- 29:02Speaker 2: should be done every day. If you're going to do
- 29:05Speaker 2: moderate to heavy work where you're doing workouts and lifting
- 29:08Speaker 2: or running or all that, at least four to five
- 29:11Speaker 2: times a week, so you get a day off and
- 29:13Speaker 2: then a day on and a day off. A day on.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Your body does need a day off to rest. Sometimes
- 29:19Speaker 2: I don't take a day off, but then there's days
- 29:22Speaker 2: where all take three days off. But generally speaking, try
- 29:25Speaker 2: to get a day of rest in between. So walking
- 29:27Speaker 2: does count, but not if you're at work, unless you're
- 29:30Speaker 2: on a work break and you're walking around the building
- 29:32Speaker 2: for you and it's mindless, you really need to do
- 29:35Speaker 2: something that's just you know, on your downtime. Some other folks,
- 29:39Speaker 2: how does the cold water? Yeah, the cold the cold
- 29:45Speaker 2: thing's almost like a shock to your body. And when
- 29:48Speaker 2: you do like either a cold plunge or you do
- 29:50Speaker 2: a cryo therapy where you go into this like little
- 29:53Speaker 2: frozen little freezer they're really nice out there now, so
- 29:57Speaker 2: it's not like you're going to be enclosed in a
- 29:59Speaker 2: freezer with a way out. A lot of them have
- 30:01Speaker 2: a window where they have a drop down or your
- 30:04Speaker 2: heads outside of it. But the idea behind the cold
- 30:08Speaker 2: is to shrink the cells and tissues to help decrease inflammation,
- 30:14Speaker 2: and that is so helpful. Like, think about it, if
- 30:17Speaker 2: you know, when you first get an injury, the first
- 30:19Speaker 2: thing they do is to put ice on it to
- 30:21Speaker 2: stop the swelling. Because while it's a natural inflammatory process
- 30:25Speaker 2: and it is going to swell, you want to try
- 30:28Speaker 2: to control and minimize it because the body doesn't necessarily
- 30:31Speaker 2: know when to stop. So that's why when it starts
- 30:34Speaker 2: to swell and swell and swell and swell, like it's
- 30:37Speaker 2: important to get control of that. So if internally your
- 30:40Speaker 2: body is inflamed from certain things that maybe you're an irritant,
- 30:45Speaker 2: you know, maybe you're eating foods that are causing your
- 30:47Speaker 2: body to be inflamed on the inside. A lot of
- 30:50Speaker 2: times people think, oh, I've got allergies, and they're always
- 30:52Speaker 2: filled with mucusin congestion. That's usually a pretty good sign
- 30:57Speaker 2: that you are having an inflammatory response and think about it.
- 31:01Speaker 2: If you are allergic to something, the pollen or a
- 31:04Speaker 2: dog hair or whatever it might be, it's your body's
- 31:07Speaker 2: natural way of trying to alert the body to go ooh,
- 31:10Speaker 2: danger problem, and it starts giving you all kinds of
- 31:13Speaker 2: like snarls and slobber and secretions and swelling, and it's
- 31:19Speaker 2: trying to fight back to equalize and neutralize, so it
- 31:22Speaker 2: pours fluid out of the tissues into the cells of
- 31:26Speaker 2: the body. That's what causes that swelling, that allergic reaction.
- 31:30Speaker 2: So yeah, so the idea behind the cold plunge or
- 31:33Speaker 2: the cryo is to definitely be able to get you
- 31:37Speaker 2: in there and start working on the shrinking process of
- 31:40Speaker 2: some inflammation. And usually when you can do the shrinking process,
- 31:43Speaker 2: it helps to reset the immune system so the body
- 31:49Speaker 2: stops the swelling and starts to reverse itself. That's why
- 31:52Speaker 2: we put ice on for twenty minutes and off and
- 31:55Speaker 2: ice on again. But these types of chilling methods are
- 31:57Speaker 2: so cold you really can only stay in it for
- 32:00Speaker 2: about two to three minutes, and that's usually all that's recommended.
- 32:03Speaker 2: A lot of times you'll check your temperature on one
- 32:06Speaker 2: of your extremities first and see where you're at if
- 32:08Speaker 2: you're at seventy or eighty or ninety, and then they
- 32:11Speaker 2: can lower it down to fifty or forty or even
- 32:13Speaker 2: thirty for just a minute or two. They don't want
- 32:16Speaker 2: to go below that for too long, but it's really cool,
- 32:19Speaker 2: and then the body does adjust. Like after I did
- 32:22Speaker 2: cryotherapy a few times, I was able to tolerate the
- 32:24Speaker 2: lower temperatures. But you're really not meant to do this
- 32:28Speaker 2: for more than two to three minutes. You can do
- 32:31Speaker 2: spot cryotherapy, especially if you have an injury or something
- 32:35Speaker 2: going on in your body. You don't have to put
- 32:37Speaker 2: your whole body in the cryo, although you can, but
- 32:39Speaker 2: if you do a spot treatment, A lot of these
- 32:42Speaker 2: places have places that have the instruments where they can
- 32:45Speaker 2: just spray cool air over it and believe me, the
- 32:49Speaker 2: area that needs it will feel it. It gets very icy.
- 32:51Speaker 2: They have to check the temperature too, because if you
- 32:54Speaker 2: don't know what you're doing and you apply that cryo
- 32:56Speaker 2: and you're just going in your talk and you can
- 32:58Speaker 2: actually burn the skin in a really bad, bad way,
- 33:02Speaker 2: really bad burn. So that's a whole other process. And
- 33:06Speaker 2: then I guess the question too with helping inflammation in
- 33:10Speaker 2: the body, and does it reset you while you're at
- 33:12Speaker 2: the experience or how long is the reset last. You know,
- 33:16Speaker 2: cold therapy does help to reduce inflammation. It is usually
- 33:20Speaker 2: necessary to repeat it, and it's one of those things
- 33:24Speaker 2: where you know, if you have an intense acute issue
- 33:28Speaker 2: and you want to decrease the swelling, I would say
- 33:30Speaker 2: go on two to three times a week, maybe four
- 33:32Speaker 2: times a week to help with the body repair. Because
- 33:35Speaker 2: remember the body has memory, but then sometimes it goes
- 33:38Speaker 2: back where it has memory and it will stay but
- 33:40Speaker 2: it didn't shrink enough. So if you've got an acute injury,
- 33:43Speaker 2: or if you know you've got acute inflammation, get to
- 33:46Speaker 2: one of these places, do some cryotherapy the first week,
- 33:49Speaker 2: maybe go three or four times in a week, and
- 33:51Speaker 2: they'll guide you. They'll tell you how many times you
- 33:53Speaker 2: should come in. And they're not typically too expensive. They
- 33:56Speaker 2: range in price from you know, twenty or thirty dollars
- 33:59Speaker 2: a session. Sometimes they'll include it with other things. But
- 34:03Speaker 2: you will feel good after you come out of one
- 34:05Speaker 2: of those. You actually feel a little but you feel
- 34:07Speaker 2: cool and crisp, but you've got a little more alertness.
- 34:10Speaker 2: And if you live up north and the cold and
- 34:13Speaker 2: the snow. You know, when you're outside and you're all
- 34:14Speaker 2: bundled up and the snow is out and you're cold,
- 34:17Speaker 2: and then you come in and you take all of
- 34:18Speaker 2: your stuff off, you're like, ooh, I feel really good
- 34:21Speaker 2: because you're out in the cold. So it's like a
- 34:23Speaker 2: deep breeze. But as far as you know the inflammation,
- 34:27Speaker 2: it just depends on the acuity internal body inflammation. If
- 34:32Speaker 2: you're going to start the process to work on it,
- 34:34Speaker 2: then you've got to put the nutrition to go along
- 34:37Speaker 2: with it. So with that, I mean, you know, if
- 34:40Speaker 2: you're going to go do some cryo or you're going
- 34:42Speaker 2: to work on some cool, cool different things, you know,
- 34:45Speaker 2: putting ice packs on your face. The ice packs here,
- 34:48Speaker 2: this just resets your vagus nerve to get you out
- 34:50Speaker 2: of fight or flight. But if you do cryo and
- 34:52Speaker 2: a joint or an elbow, or if you go into
- 34:54Speaker 2: the full body cryo, what better time than to start
- 34:57Speaker 2: paying closer attention to your nutrition and start taken away
- 35:00Speaker 2: foods that may cause inflammation to you. So it's really
- 35:04Speaker 2: important that you know, Like I'll have people they will
- 35:07Speaker 2: they'll take some peptides, or they'll take some vitamins or
- 35:10Speaker 2: they'll go to some cryotherapy and then they'll go out
- 35:13Speaker 2: and drink, or they'll go out and they'll spend the
- 35:16Speaker 2: whole week and have in pasta lasagnia and pizza and bread.
- 35:19Speaker 2: And they come in on Monday and they're like, Oh,
- 35:22Speaker 2: I'm so tired. I ate so much this weekend and
- 35:24Speaker 2: I don't feel good. Well, you've got to fuel your body.
- 35:28Speaker 2: And many times I'll tell folks, y'all have cars. You
- 35:32Speaker 2: don't want to get your car, you have to go
- 35:33Speaker 2: in for repair. Would you fill your gas tank with water?
- 35:37Speaker 2: So why would you fuel your body with anything less
- 35:41Speaker 2: than optimum things to make it perform. So, if we
- 35:44Speaker 2: want to get rid of some of the problems, that's
- 35:46Speaker 2: where we want to work on decreasing the inflammation. We
- 35:50Speaker 2: want to fuel the body with good hydration. Now we
- 35:52Speaker 2: do want to put water in our body, but we
- 35:55Speaker 2: can also add in addition to water, some of the
- 35:57Speaker 2: supplements I've discussed, the NAD the nac omega three, vitamin D,
- 36:03Speaker 2: the probiotics, L methyl folate, the lithium oritate is great
- 36:08Speaker 2: for mood, calm down, irritation. Lions Main. Lions Main is
- 36:13Speaker 2: a great help, a great help too, just for cognition
- 36:18Speaker 2: and actually to lift some signs and symptoms of depression
- 36:21Speaker 2: and anxiety. And it's just something that the brain really
- 36:25Speaker 2: seems to crave and like it likes that supplement. So
- 36:29Speaker 2: that's another good one. There's just so many good ones.
- 36:32Speaker 2: And even magnesium, like I said, magnesium is something that
- 36:36Speaker 2: you know, two four six hundred milligrams a day can
- 36:39Speaker 2: really help with just being calm, relax Magnesium can help
- 36:44Speaker 2: to some degree with pain, with nerve, irritation, things like that.
- 36:49Speaker 2: There's a couple other really good ones. Coling cooline can
- 36:53Speaker 2: really help to boost dopamine, and so if we're gonna
- 36:56Speaker 2: boost dopamine and nor epidephrine in do so, it helps mood.
- 37:01Speaker 2: So if you're moody, if you don't have a good mood,
- 37:05Speaker 2: if you're irritable, if you're down, if you're low colin,
- 37:09Speaker 2: you can start at two hundred and fifty to five
- 37:11Speaker 2: hundred milligrams one to two times a day. Coaling is
- 37:15Speaker 2: usually a big capsule too. So again some of these
- 37:17Speaker 2: things you have to see if it's stuff that you
- 37:19Speaker 2: can get in the habit of using, because if it's
- 37:21Speaker 2: not something that you can use, you're going to have
- 37:23Speaker 2: a bunch of bottles on the shelf, but you can
- 37:25Speaker 2: also get coaling from different meats and fish, poultry, and
- 37:29Speaker 2: dairy broccoli, but oftentimes we don't eat enough of it.
- 37:34Speaker 2: But coaling is really good for mood depression, anxiety, to
- 37:37Speaker 2: keep that one on your shelf too. The other one
- 37:40Speaker 2: I wanted to mention is kucuremin, and cucuremin is also
- 37:45Speaker 2: super helpful to really get the neurotransmitters stimulated, so it
- 37:50Speaker 2: helps with all types of things from anxiety, depression, and inflammation.
- 37:56Speaker 2: So keucuremin is definitely another good supplement to consider taking
- 38:00Speaker 2: as well. And all these things, like I said, we
- 38:03Speaker 2: can talk about them. If you want to schedule a console,
- 38:06Speaker 2: we can do that as well, but they're really good.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Some folks have talked about ashraganda. That's another powerful anti inflammatory.
- 38:14Speaker 2: That's a three hundred to six hundred milligrama day supplement
- 38:17Speaker 2: that you can use, but they also recommended for diabetes
- 38:21Speaker 2: and Alzheimer's. So again inflammation, think about when we inflame
- 38:25Speaker 2: the brain, what do we do We take away the receptiveness,
- 38:28Speaker 2: the good qualities of the brain, the sharpness of the brain.
- 38:32Speaker 2: So we want to try to remember how to put
- 38:34Speaker 2: those those good nutrients in to really fuel and optimize
- 38:37Speaker 2: the brain. Last week, I think we did mention. We
- 38:41Speaker 2: talked a little bit about the supplement Rodiola. It's Rodiola's
- 38:45Speaker 2: r H O d io l A. It's really good
- 38:49Speaker 2: for mood. It's also really good for cognition. You have
- 38:52Speaker 2: to be careful with this one though, because if you're
- 38:54Speaker 2: on blood thinners, you definitely want to get your provider's
- 38:57Speaker 2: approval for that one. But it really can help endurance
- 39:01Speaker 2: and it helps to repair muscle damage usually after like
- 39:04Speaker 2: an exercise something like that. But there's just so many things,
- 39:09Speaker 2: so many things that you can do. One of the
- 39:11Speaker 2: other questions we've got, what are your thoughts on red light?
- 39:15Speaker 2: I love red light therapy. Red light is a little
- 39:18Speaker 2: bit opposite of cryo and with red light therapy, and
- 39:23Speaker 2: it's got a very positive healing therapeutic effect to get
- 39:26Speaker 2: in there and repair neurotransmitters, repair the cellular function, and
- 39:32Speaker 2: to repair your body if you've got aches and pains
- 39:35Speaker 2: and all kinds of different things that just your body
- 39:38Speaker 2: is aching and just not tolerating things. It helps to
- 39:41Speaker 2: improve energy, it helps to improve mood. So red light
- 39:44Speaker 2: therapy is really actually good too. And we've talked about
- 39:48Speaker 2: these a couple different times. I work with a company
- 39:51Speaker 2: that does the stem cell patches life Wave I know
- 39:54Speaker 2: we just had that up on the screen, but the
- 39:56Speaker 2: stem cell patches can also be very helpful. They take
- 40:00Speaker 2: light waves and when you put the stem cell patch
- 40:02Speaker 2: on your body, it pulls the light through from the
- 40:06Speaker 2: little molecular structure that's in the patch and it helps
- 40:10Speaker 2: to turn it on so that your body can make
- 40:13Speaker 2: more productive stem cells internally, so there's no stem cells
- 40:18Speaker 2: in the patch, but it helps your body to create
- 40:20Speaker 2: more stem cell production. And why that's important is because
- 40:24Speaker 2: again it helps with repair of cells, repair of tissues.
- 40:29Speaker 2: It can help with increasing energy, it can help with
- 40:34Speaker 2: reducing pain. The stem cell patches that we use are
- 40:37Speaker 2: helpful for reducing pain. They don't specifically stop the cycle
- 40:42Speaker 2: of pain to take away the problem. That's where we
- 40:46Speaker 2: need to do other things to help repair. But in
- 40:48Speaker 2: terms of getting a good night's sleep if you can't
- 40:51Speaker 2: get to sleep because of pain, the stem cell patches
- 40:54Speaker 2: we have at magnoiasell patch dot com are phenomenal for
- 40:58Speaker 2: just breaking the pain cycle so you can get some
- 41:02Speaker 2: relief of pain. So keeping that keeping that all in mind.
- 41:07Speaker 2: But you know a lot of the things that we've
- 41:08Speaker 2: gone over today and some of the books I've shared
- 41:10Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks, it's so important to
- 41:13Speaker 2: take care of your healthy self. Your body will materialize
- 41:18Speaker 2: for you what you put in it emotionally, physically, spiritually.
- 41:23Speaker 2: It starts with you. You can pop on the QRS code
- 41:26Speaker 2: too that we have upon the screen that will take
- 41:28Speaker 2: you to my website, as well as two of the
- 41:31Speaker 2: books that I've written talks about some of the challenges
- 41:33Speaker 2: that you can come across during the pandemic. Also talks
- 41:36Speaker 2: about different supplements to use to try to stay well
- 41:39Speaker 2: and keep yourself healthy. That's in the back of the
- 41:41Speaker 2: book of they call Me Harriet. And then again not
- 41:44Speaker 2: just specifically autoimmune, but perimenopausal, postmenopausal, menopausal women, even men
- 41:51Speaker 2: can come down with frozen shoulder. It's called adhesive capsulitis
- 41:55Speaker 2: in the joint, predominantly the shoulder, but sometimes the hip.
- 42:00Speaker 2: The shoulder locks down like a clamshell. And so in
- 42:04Speaker 2: the work that I've done in the book, I talk
- 42:06Speaker 2: about what it's like, what it feels like, all the
- 42:08Speaker 2: different types of treatment and alternatives that you can use
- 42:11Speaker 2: to feel better and then in the back different list
- 42:14Speaker 2: of supplements and stuff. But you know, we're going into
- 42:17Speaker 2: the holiday season and I think it's so important to
- 42:20Speaker 2: be fully armed and equipped with a good mental toolkit
- 42:25Speaker 2: to be your best self. If you don't start from
- 42:28Speaker 2: the inside out, how are you going to continue to
- 42:32Speaker 2: feel good? And you can't ignore your own health and
- 42:36Speaker 2: wellness first. So as we go into Thanksgiving this week,
- 42:39Speaker 2: I would like to hope that you guys all continue
- 42:42Speaker 2: to be thankful for those around you and thankful for
- 42:45Speaker 2: all the blessings that you do have. If there are
- 42:48Speaker 2: things and challenges in your life, try to lean in
- 42:52Speaker 2: to find yourself to do some self care and if
- 42:56Speaker 2: after Thanksgiving Friday, start your wellness journey to the ninety
- 43:02Speaker 2: days of self care and were we call them stressbusters.
- 43:06Speaker 2: But start with looking at your diet, looking at your movement,
- 43:09Speaker 2: looking at your sleep, and start making some small incremental
- 43:13Speaker 2: changes to the things that you can do to help
- 43:16Speaker 2: your body. We're here for you at Magnolia Behavioral Wellness.
- 43:20Speaker 2: You can always text or request a console. Our number
- 43:23Speaker 2: is at the bottom of the screen, but it's nine
- 43:25Speaker 2: oh four three seven, seven, one nine six. That's nine
- 43:30Speaker 2: oh four, three, seven seven. We will be talking lots
- 43:34Speaker 2: more about some of the different new wave if you will,
- 43:38Speaker 2: of supplementation using peptides, DSMO cryo red light therapy, stem
- 43:46Speaker 2: cell patches as a way for you to learn more
- 43:50Speaker 2: about how you can really take hold of your health.
- 43:53Speaker 2: It's so true our population in the seventies was just
- 43:56Speaker 2: a much leaner, thinner population. And now, oh it's so
- 44:00Speaker 2: quick and so easy to get foods and all kinds
- 44:03Speaker 2: of things that appear to give us what we want.
- 44:08Speaker 2: It's a good taste, but the ingredients sometimes can be
- 44:11Speaker 2: real triggers. And beyond the food triggers and the holidays
- 44:16Speaker 2: and some of the other things, let's start looking at
- 44:19Speaker 2: the upcoming twenty twenty six as the year of your
- 44:22Speaker 2: best self. So I encourage you guys to really take
- 44:25Speaker 2: the time to think about where you want to start
- 44:28Speaker 2: your journey. And there's absolutely nothing wrong. In fact, it's
- 44:31Speaker 2: quite a benefit if you think about your mental wellness.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Maybe it's time to go in and get a tune
- 44:36Speaker 2: up and get some really good just mental skill set ideas,
- 44:42Speaker 2: talk therapy, talk through things with someone outside of your family,
- 44:47Speaker 2: so you can really optimize your mental health and well being.
- 44:50Speaker 2: It's just it's so important and I can't stress it enough.
- 44:53Speaker 2: It's got to be mind, body spirit. I know getting
- 44:56Speaker 2: into a new fitness routine is hard. I know exercise
- 44:59Speaker 2: can be really lenging for some people, but it has
- 45:02Speaker 2: to start somewhere. So if it starts with walking, if
- 45:05Speaker 2: it starts with stretches in front of your TV, you know,
- 45:08Speaker 2: all you got to do is look on YouTube and
- 45:10Speaker 2: just put in fitness video. You can get chair aerobics,
- 45:13Speaker 2: you can get floor stretches, you can get whatever you want,
- 45:17Speaker 2: and you don't have to leave the comfort of your home.
- 45:20Speaker 2: So it couldn't be any easier to really become your
- 45:23Speaker 2: best self this year. And if you become your best self,
- 45:27Speaker 2: how great would that be to really have a better
- 45:30Speaker 2: outlook into twenty twenty six. And that's kind of my
- 45:33Speaker 2: goal for all of you is to feel your best.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Let's try to do it as holistically as we can,
- 45:39Speaker 2: and then maybe spread the word and maybe people even say, wow,
- 45:42Speaker 2: you look great, you sound great. What do you do
- 45:44Speaker 2: and just tell them what you've been working on. These
- 45:48Speaker 2: are the same tips and tools you can use for
- 45:50Speaker 2: your kids. You may want to make it a family
- 45:53Speaker 2: adventure and you know, get the family on some fitness goals,
- 45:56Speaker 2: mental health goals, wellness goals, but start with you start
- 46:00Speaker 2: with cleaning up from the inside out. And again I
- 46:03Speaker 2: look forward to having you guys back. We will see
- 46:05Speaker 2: you in the coming weeks. And if you didn't tune
- 46:09Speaker 2: in live, you can always catch and review some of
- 46:11Speaker 2: our prior shows on YouTube. I'm sorry on iHeartRadio, I
- 46:17Speaker 2: think it was banned from YouTube. But maybe now it's
- 46:20Speaker 2: a different day. Maybe I can get on YouTube. We
- 46:23Speaker 2: should try that because it is a different day. But
- 46:26Speaker 2: you can get all of our prior episodes on iHeartRadio.
- 46:30Speaker 2: Just go under podcast and look up Wellness Uncensored with
- 46:33Speaker 2: Patty g. So my last parting comments for the day,
- 46:37Speaker 2: as we head into Thanksgiving, be well, be blessed, be
- 46:41Speaker 2: your best self, take care of yourself, don't let anyone
- 46:45Speaker 2: get in the way, don't let anyone steal your thunder.
- 46:48Speaker 2: And if you find as you deal with those that
- 46:51Speaker 2: you love and those that you love not to have
- 46:53Speaker 2: to talk to re guard yourself against the enemy vampire,
- 46:57Speaker 2: that negative energy is not what you need. So the
- 47:00Speaker 2: best way to get through that is to smile, minimize conversation,
- 47:05Speaker 2: know you're on your own journey. Maybe share some positivity
- 47:09Speaker 2: with someone who's not quite as positive as you, and
- 47:12Speaker 2: we will see you all next time at three pm Eastern.
- 47:16Speaker 2: Wellness Uncensored here live with Patty G. Take care and
- 47:20Speaker 2: have a wonderful weekend and a very blessed Thanksgiving. See
- 47:23Speaker 2: y'all soon.
