- 0:14Speaker 1: We've got a really cool guest with us today, nicole Rintrona, owner of Medhouse and R3 health, so thank you for coming in.
- 0:23Speaker 1: We're pumped to learn all about this stuff and how y'all biohack.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having me.
- 0:29Speaker 1: So tell it, introduce yourself.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Tell us, like Exactly what Medhouse and R3 health do right and how we can have y'all can help people.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Okay, so my name's Nicole Rintrona.
- 0:39Speaker 2: I'm the CEO and founder of Medhouse and R3 health.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Along with my husband, joseph Radic, we started R3 health a little under 10 years ago and the purpose was we started out doing hormone therapy, iv therapy, really just trying to find the cause and the root to to Problems that people were having in their body and they weren't getting solutions to.
- 1:05Speaker 2: As we grew, we ended up opening Medhouse, which was a different concept.
- 1:11Speaker 2: It was a social wellness club and it kind of came because we have this level of Clients that were coming to us and they were just as educated as us.
- 1:21Speaker 2: They're from all around the world, they're very involved in their health and when, as we were teaching them about their health, we realized that it would be really cool if we had an environment that they could all come to and, like minded people, you know, talk about everything that's going on and, instead of referring out to red beds, salt sweets, cryos, like we were, we were like, let's just put it all under one roof house.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So that's our fast forward of 10 years and how we ended up having R3, health and Medhouse.
- 1:49Speaker 1: That's really cool.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it makes a lot of sense, like what you said a lot of like-minded people all in one spot and the right people will be attracted to that and be like I want to be a part of this, you know you create the place, they will come.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Oh, that's really cool.
- 2:06Speaker 1: All right, so R3 health was first and that's a functional medicine, integrative healthcare type of clinic facility exactly.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and then from there, that's when you're like, let's layer in Medhouse, which is a biohacking social wellness club.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a different terms from it, but really I think what separates us from other more commercial places is that we really want to create an environment and we do a lot of events there, we do a lot of learning activities, we do fitness events.
- 2:39Speaker 2: So we just really wanted to create a community that people could all come to and learn and, you know, instead of going out, you know, and having a drink and having a business meeting, they could come and do an HBOT session with their partner and do a meeting, you know.
- 2:55Speaker 2: They could go in the conference room and get an IV, you know, and hold a meeting rather than, you know I think the world is shifting a little bit away from that Having to go have a drink or you know that the just the golf course kind of interactions, and they really want to involve Health and to what they're doing and, and you know, work, social creatures were supposed to do these things.
- 3:17Speaker 2: So we wanted to create an environment that that's all possible.
- 3:21Speaker 1: That's cool.
- 3:21Speaker 1: It's like a networking, collaborative learning Institution.
- 3:25Speaker 1: So, hey, let's go get an IV and business meetings that cool, yeah, let's do it.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Yeah, why not works immunity drip?
- 3:32Speaker 1: Let's get it.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it.
- 3:33Speaker 1: That's just really cool.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome, that's a great idea and obviously, and like you said, the right, the like-minded people will be wanting to be a part of that and that's really cool.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Interesting so well with y'all I mean you and Joe right what led you guys to initially even get involved in the health and wellness field and and want to and want to take the leap with R3 health?
- 3:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:58Speaker 2: So I Came here.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I was a psychology student and I ended up getting a job as a patient care coordinator in a functional medicine office, okay, where I met my mentor and I was like this is so cool.
- 4:10Speaker 2: He started talking about Suzanne summers and hormones and this is before stem cells were like a real big thing, and he was talking about this and through that I ended up meeting Joe and we worked at a facility together and I just knew like he had it.
- 4:25Speaker 2: He had the same drive and vision that I did.
- 4:28Speaker 1: So he's like a me to like.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Are we these come?
- 4:31Speaker 2: business.
- 4:31Speaker 2: No, we were gonna work out romantically, but I was like we're gonna definitely do good things in business together.
- 4:36Speaker 2: And we just both want to help people.
- 4:38Speaker 2: So Flash forward.
- 4:41Speaker 2: We ended up both leaving our jobs and starting our three health.
- 4:44Speaker 2: And you know we were in a single room in the building we actually are.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Take up the whole space now we we rented a room in there.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Oh really.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Yeah, and we started out just with a few patients and so you were is that a small space rent?
- 5:00Speaker 1: It was a room.
- 5:00Speaker 2: It was a room, yeah that was our three health that was our three health and you know we just kept growing and growing and you know we come from humble beginnings.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Everything was word of mouth and we didn't do any marketing.
- 5:13Speaker 2: It was just referral based, which I think is the best in the long run, kind of oh, 100%.
- 5:19Speaker 1: We could talk all day about that stuff.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Oh, and I think that's the way that best businesses grow is.
- 5:23Speaker 2: It's not just like, oh, it's a name, it's, it's, it's a community and a family and people feel like they're a part of it.
- 5:28Speaker 2: So right from that we grew and we still have our founding members.
- 5:34Speaker 2: You know we had Ashley, cieri, alex, with few people who started with us from the beginning and they're still with us and involved.
- 5:42Speaker 2: We call them our founding members.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and pretty much everyone that's really worked with us has stayed with us when I I truly believe that the universe just brings us great people like minded on the same frequency in life as us.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Yeah and they've helped us grow this amazing company, for not only our members but, I think, like our I don't even call them our employees, but like our team members right.
- 6:04Speaker 2: So, that's how we grew and everybody's kind of had their hand in Creating this amazing idea and experience that we now give our patients and members.
- 6:15Speaker 1: That's cool.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Yeah, so psychology was your major, yeah.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Patient care coordinator position.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I started integrative medicine or healthcare type of business Mentor love that idea like this is cool.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Met Joe, you know, like let's do our three health and do our own thing.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Yeah, boom, grow.
- 6:33Speaker 1: 10 years later, overnight success.
- 6:35Speaker 2: I mean not overnight, but exactly.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I've heard that before people.
- 6:38Speaker 1: It's like you know, growing and stuff.
- 6:40Speaker 1: It's, yeah, five-year overnight success like the past four and a half nine years.
- 6:46Speaker 1: So I to be where you're at it's like took a lot.
- 6:49Speaker 2: We stand back sometimes and we're like, holy moly, had we got here, right, exactly, yeah.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Our little room.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Compared to our, I think it's like a 7,000 square foot space.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it's huge.
- 6:58Speaker 2: And we're still.
- 6:59Speaker 1: We're already like outgrowing it like next yeah, that's amazing.
- 7:03Speaker 1: You guys are spaces really cool.
- 7:04Speaker 1: When we first met, y'all were still in the victor fairs building and, yeah, a flagler.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was just an idea Out at that time.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're like where we want to move and we have this idea of expanding this new space and like that's cool, you know, I mean it's really nice, like y'all did a really great job, it looks really cool.
- 7:21Speaker 1: You walk in and it's like this is good vibes.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't want it to feel like a doctor's office, like of course we wanted to be clean like a doctor's office, but we really kind of consider ourselves like hospitality, health care.
- 7:32Speaker 2: That's kind of our vision.
- 7:34Speaker 2: That's what we're creating and you know, we want people to feel like they're home, like you'll be there and you'll notice somebody walking around in their robe, like going from the cryo to get an idea and.
- 7:43Speaker 2: That's so that's kind of what we wanted to create.
- 7:47Speaker 1: That's awesome, so getting into that.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Obviously there's a lot of very similar institutions like yourself and it seems to be blowing up or with all the meds spot.
- 7:57Speaker 1: I know it's everywhere.
- 7:58Speaker 1: How would y'all say what differentiates you guys?
- 8:03Speaker 1: The home environment community, right?
- 8:07Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I would say also the quality of service that we give.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Everything is very individualized.
- 8:13Speaker 2: I know some places and, and you know, I think there's a big enough market for everybody.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I love that, that everybody is including health, no matter what facility it is.
- 8:23Speaker 2: But I think what makes us stand out is that individualized health care, that like being a part of a family, that like you walk in and you know every single face.
- 8:31Speaker 2: They know everything about you and we want to know everything about you.
- 8:36Speaker 2: We want to help you in every way we can.
- 8:37Speaker 2: We want to educate you, we want you to educate us, we want it's just a.
- 8:42Speaker 1: It's a very different feeling than I think when you walk into other facilities right on the same note with, like the building, a foundation, word of mouth and a community and culture that leads to like we've had founding members for several years, right, and team members and stuff.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I mean that seems to be a big differential about.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I've noticed too you know, and that's huge, you know.
- 9:06Speaker 1: So what specific?
- 9:07Speaker 1: Like what's your clientele?
- 9:08Speaker 1: Like your wheelhouse, like what type of people do you find most of the time call you guys, walk in and want some services?
- 9:15Speaker 2: So, um, I would say you, we have two main drivers.
- 9:19Speaker 2: We have one which would be the person who's exhausted all efforts.
- 9:22Speaker 2: They've gone to traditional healthcare, they've gotten no answers, or they just keep getting the run around oh, you're within range, you're fine, you know, take this pill or do this, and they just they want answers and you know that's the big thing about our providers Is that they educate patients and they bring them along the health journey and they restore their autonomy as a patient and as a person.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Yeah, where the type of office.
- 9:46Speaker 2: We're gonna give you a copy of your labs to like take home with you.
- 9:49Speaker 2: We encourage you to get second opinions, third opinions, to call us, to email us, to keep that communication open.
- 9:56Speaker 2: And then we have the people who, I feel like, are educated.
- 10:01Speaker 2: They have the means, they have the, the drive to want to stay young and to, you know, be able to, you know, carry on with their daily duties.
- 10:12Speaker 2: A lot of people that come to us, they're CEOs, they're, you know, the mom that that works, the job that you know they've got, you know, ten hats on and they just want to be Optimal.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm sure you're best.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Yeah, functioning their best and waiting till there's being proactive rather than reactive right For sure.
- 10:29Speaker 1: There's something we hear a lot too, and I would imagine I mean similar to our practice, like our physiotherapy practice.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Some things we've had good reviews about is like you guys were actually like listening and you had a conversation longer than like maybe Three minutes, you know.
- 10:44Speaker 1: It's like yeah, these more, these these hours are norm, normal, go ahead, get out of here.
- 10:48Speaker 1: You're good, take this pill next.
- 10:50Speaker 2: It's like Synergistic about our practices and I think what I loved about you because I am a patient of you guys- yeah, all is that we do.
- 10:58Speaker 2: We take the time.
- 10:59Speaker 2: You guys take the time to really it's.
- 11:01Speaker 2: You know it is fee for service, which is I think sometimes people want that quick insurance fix.
- 11:06Speaker 2: But I think when you're getting that fee for service You're getting somebody who's listening to you for a whole 60 minutes and they're really connecting right with you.
- 11:14Speaker 2: That's what I at least feel with you guys and I hope that's and night that's what I see people get with us.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Right feeling heard, I'm not you guys.
- 11:21Speaker 1: Apply, it's powerful.
- 11:22Speaker 1: It's what you'll try to do, right.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Half the problem.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Exactly right.
- 11:27Speaker 1: It's interesting you say that like the quick insurance, fix Very.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I would put that in the same bucket as like a quick Western medicine, allopathic medicine, fix right, just do this, you're good.
- 11:39Speaker 1: It's like.
- 11:40Speaker 1: What else would you expect in that kind of an environment?
- 11:44Speaker 2: You almost can't even blame the providers that are in that situation because they're back-to-back, they have to hit quotas.
- 11:50Speaker 1: They're not bad people.
- 11:51Speaker 1: They're just set up for failure.
- 11:52Speaker 2: There's their setup for failure, exactly, and even us.
- 11:55Speaker 2: You know, sometimes 60 minutes isn't enough, I'll go up to the window and be like.
- 11:58Speaker 2: You know it's time.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Yeah but they will never rush, because the next person should know that they're never gonna be rushed as Right.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Yeah, so the same attention.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I think the Like, the attention being heard and validated and then being like let's critically think, right, yeah, it's a problem solve with our team members.
- 12:16Speaker 1: We're always like I'm sure you guys are in the same thing, right, it's like Try hard, let's critically think and try to piece things together and figure this out, versus like sweeping under the rug, right, or like you're like you're fine, whatever.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like like not even being heard.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Right, you're validated 100% so y'all that's cool.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I mean you're like, hey, it's 59 minutes, your next patient's here, it's like, but I need, I'll send you a follow-up email.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and we always follow up.
- 12:42Speaker 2: We're always making that time and, you know, even like our initial process.
- 12:46Speaker 2: So you, you schedule a visit with Joe sewing, any of our providers, and not only do you get that, but you get a follow-up appointment and get a visit with our dietitian.
- 12:56Speaker 2: So we're literally setting you up to, like, get your plan, be heard, answer all your questions, but we're gonna follow up with you.
- 13:03Speaker 2: We want to make sure you're gonna succeed.
- 13:05Speaker 2: You're also getting a dietitian that's gonna go over lifestyle diet, because those are huge factors that other providers don't include.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Sometimes, all it is is adding a little movement and Changing the things that you eat.
- 13:18Speaker 2: And some people you know we think it's common knowledge because we do this every day but some people are not educated on little things that they can do that'll change their whole thing.
- 13:26Speaker 2: So instead of just giving them that visit and sending them on their way, we're setting you up with a plan, at least a six-week plan, to really follow up and see how you're gonna do, because we want your success Is our success.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, yeah, sure, like you live and die by the results that you provide the people you're working with, it's like your children.
- 13:42Speaker 2: If you, you know you, you don't want to set them up to fail.
- 13:44Speaker 2: You want to have a plan.
- 13:45Speaker 2: You want to see the follow-through and Seeing that person be rewarded and their life being changed, or hearing from their family members how much better they're doing it's it's it's the best feeling in the world right can have that that makes and that's just true and Living vicariously through them and the fulfillment that y'all get, we get the same thing, you know.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Satisfying for sure.
- 14:04Speaker 1: It's like.
- 14:04Speaker 1: This is why we do what we do.
- 14:06Speaker 1: High fives all around.
- 14:07Speaker 1: This is cool With that too, with the.
- 14:10Speaker 1: That's sort of a plan.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Let's future frame this.
- 14:13Speaker 1: That's.
- 14:13Speaker 1: What does six weeks look like from now?
- 14:15Speaker 1: Or ten weeks if we intervene?
- 14:17Speaker 1: What does that look like if we don't do anything and you stay the same?
- 14:20Speaker 1: What does that look like?
- 14:20Speaker 1: I think, with that, the, the message we at least try to convey with that and I'm sure y'all do the same thing I don't hear your opinion the reason why it's such a benefit to do that.
- 14:30Speaker 1: You have to change the lifestyle habits that are gonna lead to long-lasting changes.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Otherwise things just revert back to what they were, and that can't happen overnight, unfortunately, or with a bottle of pills or something you know hundred percent.
- 14:42Speaker 2: So I Always have people come up to me and they're like oh, thank you so much, you changed our life.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Or you know they'll go to my husband and we're like no, like you changed your life, you put the work in.
- 14:51Speaker 2: And that's what.
- 14:53Speaker 2: I think that the differences between me or you or anybody who works for us, is that we're not setting, we're setting people up to to do the work and they, we give them the tools, we give them the knowledge, we give them the supplements or the exercises, like you give me to take home, and and it's that person's job to follow up with it.
- 15:14Speaker 2: And I find that there's a lot more compliance when people are not set up to fail true and they're having that person check in with them and again it's like the validation and being heard and you know, let's say they get home and you know certain people don't really just want to reach out.
- 15:28Speaker 2: But if you have somebody reaching out to be like did you understand everything that we went over?
- 15:32Speaker 2: Like, do you have any other questions?
- 15:34Speaker 1: like always here for you right, that goes a long way.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Oh no, I 100% agree, and I know that when and when I've pursued services from like Institutions, like of the like, I felt like that and I was like this is what it feels like on the other end, I get it, I get it, I just don't totally.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Let's get after.
- 15:51Speaker 1: That's cool, all right.
- 15:53Speaker 1: So with med house, okay, the biohacking, social wellness club, what gamut of services you all provide.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Like, what do you all, what do you all have in store?
- 16:04Speaker 2: So we, I, I call it like our hallway of like life, you know.
- 16:09Speaker 2: So everything we do in that hallway is meant to reduce it makes, so I've been.
- 16:13Speaker 1: That makes sense.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty dope right.
- 16:16Speaker 2: So when you look down the hallway, everything is meant to reduce inflammation in the body and, as we know, inflammation is the key to disease and ultimately death.
- 16:26Speaker 2: So Not to be morbid, yeah.
- 16:28Speaker 2: So as you're walking down the hallway, you're gonna see that we have I'm cryotherapy, which you know most people have heard about.
- 16:34Speaker 2: We have a hyperbaric oxygen chamber that multiple people can go in and it creates a Oxygen saturated environment and that one for you guys.
- 16:43Speaker 1: It's not the like skinny tube, it's.
- 16:45Speaker 1: It's like a chamber.
- 16:46Speaker 2: No, it's like a chamber that you go in yeah, and it's it's probably our most popular.
- 16:51Speaker 2: It's it's always booked.
- 16:53Speaker 2: We have a membership style, so they, they all set up their appointments, but that's like our all-star.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Yeah, a piece of equipment.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Okay, and then as you go down, we have a light stem red bed, which is a multi-wave light stem technology.
- 17:06Speaker 2: It's amazing.
- 17:07Speaker 2: It's really for that athlete.
- 17:10Speaker 2: The Systemic inflammation it's probably my favorite piece of equipment.
- 17:17Speaker 2: I love it, really good for skin and just like internal Inflammation going on.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Then we have a salt sweet, which is really good.
- 17:25Speaker 2: It's a salt cave and it's Really good for any sort of respiratory issues, skin issues.
- 17:31Speaker 2: I love that for If you're sick, if you know seasonal allergies or if you've got something a little more you know, a cute going on.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Then we have our sweat pod, which is an infrared sweat pod.
- 17:43Speaker 2: It's it's I think it's called a fit pod technically, but that's really good because it's got the infrared.
- 17:49Speaker 2: It makes you sweat.
- 17:50Speaker 2: You lose like 600 800 calories while you're in there, but you're also getting the the red technology going on there.
- 17:56Speaker 2: And then we have a float.
- 17:58Speaker 2: That's really good for, you know, people who can't sleep, people who need that like meditation, that quiet time.
- 18:05Speaker 2: It's um, I would say it's one of the underutilized pieces, but the people who go in love it.
- 18:12Speaker 2: And we have so many people who are like I can't sleep and then I did a week in the float and it's like now my sleep is like back on track, and then that's cool.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really cool.
- 18:22Speaker 1: What does that usually target?
- 18:23Speaker 1: Like system-wise Brain waves?
- 18:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's really just like creating that like calm place to go.
- 18:30Speaker 2: It has health benefits for your heart, for your you know, we treat a lot of people who have elevated cortisol, things like that, so really like that person who can't sleep, that needs that.
- 18:40Speaker 2: You know.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Peace, that's really good for that.
- 18:43Speaker 2: And then we move down and we have a stikoo 4D scanner so that scans your entire body.
- 18:49Speaker 2: It's this little turntable that you turn on.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Have you been on it?
- 18:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I have not yet.
- 18:53Speaker 2: You have to go on it.
- 18:54Speaker 2: We were talking about going in.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Yeah and I'm so.
- 18:57Speaker 1: I was like next week or this time.
- 18:58Speaker 2: It's so good for tracking results.
- 18:59Speaker 2: So a lot of people who come to us again, they're like athletes or you know they might not necessarily be on like a weight loss plan, but you know people who get on hormones.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Some of them have, like, muscle loss issues.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Some of them have, you know, bone density issues.
- 19:13Speaker 2: You know they're trying to lose fat.
- 19:14Speaker 2: This is a 4D scanner that you go around on and it measures every part of your body and we can really pinpoint and track the results of the programs that we're putting you on.
- 19:25Speaker 2: So, whatever your choice Objective measures.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the improvement you've made.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Because we're all about having the data to show what we're doing.
- 19:32Speaker 2: So not only the blood work and the specialized testing, but this really takes a look at your body in a 4D manner so we can track your progress, whether you're trying to gain muscle, lose fat, you know, water retention, bone density, things like that.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Gotcha.
- 19:48Speaker 2: And then when you circle around in our lab, we have a PEMF mat, so that is more for like grounding, you know.
- 19:56Speaker 2: And then we have the norm attack compression, which you know everybody loves to do after they work out.
- 20:02Speaker 2: So we have the hips, the legs, the arms.
- 20:04Speaker 2: That's probably one of our most utilized pieces.
- 20:08Speaker 2: I love it, yeah, they love it.
- 20:09Speaker 2: And then we do all the array of different IVs, nad, just basic nutrient IVs, you know, hydration IVs.
- 20:19Speaker 2: We do specialize things like chelation, ozone, I mean, you name it so and everybody's is really like customized.
- 20:27Speaker 2: We have a basic menu but really like nobody gets the same IV.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Right, so that's the most popular IV, would you say.
- 20:34Speaker 2: I would say it's the works, the works.
- 20:36Speaker 2: The works has everything in it.
- 20:37Speaker 2: We have a lot of people that like they have their little program, like they come in to do their ozone and they get the works, and then they'll do like a little micro NAD, push at the end and then like a little glutathione.
- 20:48Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's what we did, yeah, a couple of months ago when we came in.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Yeah, If somebody comes in there like I need the gambit, what am I gonna do?
- 20:56Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, that's like a that's powerhouse, it into you.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like Superman on the way out.
- 21:02Speaker 2: But then we have our people who come in every week and get their NAD, or they come in bi-weekly and get their nutrients.
- 21:07Speaker 2: So, yeah, I would say that's probably one of our most utilized antidotes as well.
- 21:13Speaker 1: If somebody's coming in and they're getting a lot of the services IV NAD, glutathione and the 4D scanner what changes do y'all usually see?
- 21:23Speaker 1: It's like hey, you're doing great and here's the scorecard, yeah.
- 21:27Speaker 1: What are the changes?
- 21:29Speaker 1: What are the improvements you typically notice?
- 21:32Speaker 2: So a lot of them, I would say, are energy and mental clarity.
- 21:36Speaker 2: A lot of people come into us.
- 21:38Speaker 2: They have depression, they have anxiety, they've got a lot going on, and I find that when they're doing these IVs and modalities that we call antidotes, they're getting a little more clarity.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Their energy is increasing and a lot of people don't notice it until they'll do some IVs and then they'll stop doing it.
- 21:54Speaker 2: They're like you know, it's like taking your vitamins you don't really notice what it's doing while it's doing it, but the second you stop, or kind of like physical therapy.
- 22:02Speaker 1: When you remove it.
- 22:03Speaker 2: They're like oh, is this really helping me?
- 22:04Speaker 2: And then they stop and they come back and they're like oh, my gosh, it was helping me so much.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 22:09Speaker 2: So yeah, I would say definitely energy vitality.
- 22:12Speaker 2: You know, Clarity, Clarity.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Gotcha, that's cool, and mood stability.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Oh, that's another big one, huge, which reflects all that same kind of thought, all the antidotes.
- 22:21Speaker 2: We have so many amazing stories of people coming in and you know I get their relatives or I get them and they're like you've literally changed my life.
- 22:27Speaker 2: And it's just two simple words self-care, like people like we think it's selfish to take care of ourselves and it's like how are we benefiting anybody around us when we're not taking care of ourselves?
- 22:37Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 22:38Speaker 2: So just instilling that in people is big.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Right, I was introduced to that kind of thought with having kids.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Now, you know like, you know this where it's like, if my cup is empty, I can't help fill their cup, so my cup has to be filled, you know, and these are the things necessary.
- 22:54Speaker 1: It's gonna make me a way better, dad, you know yeah.
- 22:56Speaker 1: More energy, clarity, better mood, stability, emotional management.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Right, yeah, Cause kids will always.
- 23:02Speaker 1: You know things happen.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, totally so like if my cup's not filled and there's no way I can fill anyone else's cup, you know.
- 23:09Speaker 2: I find it so beautiful when I see couples come in and like even the husband, they're like pushing their wife to do it because you know not that there's a huge difference.
- 23:18Speaker 2: But I think women especially feel selfish or like they're gonna be judged for doing things for themselves.
- 23:24Speaker 2: And I love it when I see the husbands come in and they're like I love that my wife's taking care of herself cause she's a more present mom, like we're having a better connection, if you get what I'm saying.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Yeah, better connection with the kids.
- 23:35Speaker 2: So it's a really nice thing to see people taking care of themselves and the stigma of self-care changing.
- 23:42Speaker 2: And it's not selfish, it's really like putting your life jacket on and caring for yourself so you can be a better, more present mom, dad, you know, friend, colleague, everything.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, totally.
- 23:54Speaker 2: Which is why I think a lot of businesses are implementing self-care and biohacking techniques into the workplace.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Right Corporate wellness is a huge thing that's starting, for sure, definitely With this.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Something we, at least the culture we try to instill is like how's everybody doing right?
- 24:11Speaker 2: Tina, I love that word.
- 24:12Speaker 2: You keep using culture.
- 24:13Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is.
- 24:15Speaker 1: It's like cool, what do your workouts look like this week?
- 24:19Speaker 1: Yeah, Right, what's your workout plan for the next like six weeks?
- 24:22Speaker 1: Maybe you know when are you gonna put that in your schedule?
- 24:24Speaker 1: So part of our thing is like you have your patient time, that you do other expectations and roles and stuff, of course, and it's like, but what's your when are you gonna work out, Put that in your schedule and block it all.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Make time, Make time, right.
- 24:35Speaker 1: So it's like, oh, now it's my workout time, let's knock it out, Anyway.
- 24:39Speaker 1: So, cause I anyway, I value that a lot, you know.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I honor my workout time and I used to think, oh, it has to be a big deal, like 30 to 45 minutes.
- 24:48Speaker 2: And when you make time for that, you realize, wow, I watched 30 minutes of TV, or 45.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Totally.
- 24:54Speaker 2: How words of TV like I could make 30 minutes to move.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
- 24:57Speaker 2: And tiring your body makes your mind work.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Oh, way better.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Yeah, totally For sure.
- 25:01Speaker 1: I definitely feel a lot better and I feel a lot worse when I don't consistently get exercise, like over the holidays.
- 25:06Speaker 1: It's always tough, you know so much stuff going on and it's not a good time, you know, for me for, like, for my consistency workouts.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Yeah, but, yeah, but you gotta make the time.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Gotta, make time Gotta make time Involve your kids, involve your spouse, always really With your friends.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say it was a really cool thing.
- 25:22Speaker 1: My wife was out of town the past weekend so I was with my kids by myself, which I enjoy because I'm like it's good.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Two on one, you know, and with mom is there, they're usually like always clinging and growing on mom.
- 25:32Speaker 1: If she's not there, then it's like that distraction is kind of removed and they have to focus all the time.
- 25:37Speaker 2: And they like you.
- 25:38Speaker 1: And they like me.
- 25:38Speaker 1: I'm like they all do like me, right?
- 25:40Speaker 1: That's just crying for mom all the time.
- 25:42Speaker 1: But anyway, we were taking a bath and I walked out when I daughter she's three, right, so Tubs filling up come back and she's like hey, daddy, look, I'm exercising, I'm getting ready for my bath, I'm exercising.
- 25:53Speaker 1: She was like doing a pigeon stretch and like a yoga move or something in the bathtub and I was like high five, like this is awesome.
- 26:01Speaker 2: It's because she's shadowing you.
- 26:02Speaker 2: She shadowed my wife.
- 26:03Speaker 1: She'll do workouts in the garage and stuff when she has time and I want to make her have the time, but anyway, that was really cool.
- 26:09Speaker 1: It was like I love that.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Well, our kids are seeing us care for ourselves, which, if you really mirror it like we think it's selfish for us.
- 26:16Speaker 2: But what do we want for our children?
- 26:17Speaker 2: We want them to care for themselves.
- 26:18Speaker 1: What do you want to see?
- 26:19Speaker 2: So if they don't see us taking care of ourselves, they're not gonna take care of themselves.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Totally For sure.
- 26:24Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 26:25Speaker 1: What's the process look like?
- 26:28Speaker 1: So, let's say, somebody wants to, you're busy, it's understandable, you're busy Watch us.
- 26:34Speaker 1: What's the process look like so?
- 26:37Speaker 1: Like, hey, I'm not feeling great.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Something seems to be off.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Flood values, I think, are normal for when I was told right, maybe one or two or all.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Can you all help me?
- 26:46Speaker 1: What do I do?
- 26:47Speaker 1: What's that process look like?
- 26:49Speaker 2: So generally people come to us with like very basic lab work.
- 26:54Speaker 2: It's like they're CBC maybe one testosterone run, one thyroid marker run, no inflammation markers.
- 27:03Speaker 2: So usually to start with us, if they're serious about being a patient, we do a comprehensive blood analysis and test all their biomarkers.
- 27:12Speaker 2: We're looking at hormones, we're looking at thyroid, we're looking at inflammatory markers, we're looking at cancer markers.
- 27:17Speaker 2: We're looking at all the systems of the body and what's going on.
- 27:22Speaker 2: And that is our starting point.
- 27:24Speaker 2: We have other specialized testing, but I would say that's where we start.
- 27:27Speaker 1: The most common start.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Okay, so they call in and they start.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Our initial panel is gonna be more than anybody's ever had done at their primary care office or their GYN or their internist.
- 27:39Speaker 1: We had our blood done with you guys and it was very comprehensive.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very cool.
- 27:44Speaker 1: I love good information.
- 27:45Speaker 2: And people.
- 27:46Speaker 2: The blood testing.
- 27:47Speaker 2: It's what's circulating, but it's a good baseline.
- 27:49Speaker 2: It's a good place to start.
- 27:51Speaker 2: So then you schedule your appointment and one of our providers is gonna review it with you.
- 27:56Speaker 2: That review is about an hour long, it's, so they're gonna go over your like top.
- 28:01Speaker 2: You know what do you wanna fix?
- 28:04Speaker 2: What's going on with you?
- 28:05Speaker 2: If you have previous blood work, if you have previous imaging, if you have previous you know doctor's notes, we'll review that as well and then we come up with a plan from there and that plan is really trying to optimize you.
- 28:17Speaker 2: So if you have problems that are going on, we're gonna address those problems.
- 28:22Speaker 2: If you have medications you wanna start getting off of, we're gonna come up with a plan for that.
- 28:26Speaker 2: If you're-.
- 28:28Speaker 1: And that's not to interrupt, but that's a huge mindset of, like, I'm on these medications.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Okay, cool, what's your plan to get off of them?
- 28:36Speaker 1: Well, is that I'm on them for a life, right?
- 28:39Speaker 1: It's like, well, it never.
- 28:40Speaker 1: I mean, I was under the opinion and I've been hurt other docs and stuff but it's like the goal isn't to be on something forever, unless it's something like I mean, that's the goal at least, right.
- 28:50Speaker 1: Of course, there's different stipulations and different situations for people, but it's like okay, cool, what do you wanna get off?
- 28:56Speaker 2: The problem is I didn't know that- was possible?
- 28:58Speaker 2: No, yeah.
- 28:58Speaker 2: And again, there's medications that you do need to stay on.
- 29:01Speaker 1: there's certain situations where it is, what it is.
- 29:04Speaker 2: But a lot of times we come to people and they want to get off their medications.
- 29:08Speaker 2: We have the person who's on their antidepressants.
- 29:12Speaker 2: They're type two diabetic and they're like, hey, I wanna change this, and a lot of it is lifestyle, a lot of it is so we might not take them off their medication that day.
- 29:21Speaker 2: But let's come up with a plan.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Let's come up with a realistic goal of where we're gonna go.
- 29:27Speaker 1: So Like we're saying, like that vision, what does six months look like from now?
- 29:31Speaker 1: Would it be cool if we got you off Just tomorrow.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Look like, yeah, of course.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Like some of it's just lifestyle changes, so yeah, we come up with goals and then we're gonna check in with you every.
- 29:40Speaker 2: They're gonna do the six week follow up, but in the meantime you can email you.
- 29:45Speaker 2: We keep really good connection with our patients and then we're gonna do a three month, a six month, a yearly follow up, depending on your plan.
- 29:53Speaker 2: If we get you to a place of where you're good and we're an autopilot, then we're just doing check-ins.
- 29:58Speaker 2: But we tend to find that people are always wanting like the next best thing, like what's cool, what can I change up?
- 30:04Speaker 2: What can I do now?
- 30:05Speaker 2: So again, it's just, it depends on the patient.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Gotcha All right.
- 30:10Speaker 1: So step one they call and they're like hey, great, we wanna help you make this lifestyle change.
- 30:13Speaker 1: We're just improvement.
- 30:14Speaker 1: First step come in for a full blood panel.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Second step review that with one of our providers and then the next after that.
- 30:21Speaker 1: The goal is to leave that consultation with a game plan.
- 30:26Speaker 2: You're gonna be given a summary report and a patient plan and we email this to you or we give you a hard copy.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Some of our patients have, like this big binder that they bring every time because it has their blood work and their plans, and so they're gonna have like a written out roadmap of what's gonna happen.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Gotcha.
- 30:44Speaker 2: What are the next steps?
- 30:45Speaker 2: What are we putting on?
- 30:46Speaker 2: What are we taking them off?
- 30:47Speaker 2: What are they gonna start?
- 30:48Speaker 2: Some of them have a calendar, literally printed out for them, of like their game plan, like if they get on hormones or if they are getting on certain supplements and they're gonna have an assigned patient care coordinator that they can always communicate with Cool.
- 31:01Speaker 1: So so all right, so they're on that game plan and then typically next step.
- 31:04Speaker 1: After that, what's usually the typical program people go or the typical next steps.
- 31:10Speaker 2: It's really individualized.
- 31:11Speaker 2: So you know we have somebody come to us for hormones.
- 31:13Speaker 2: They might get on a hormone plan and you know we'll assess that as it goes and we'll do check-ins and we're gonna see how they feel, because sometimes it's not just the blood work, sometimes it's really like how are you feeling?
- 31:26Speaker 2: Like let's talk about like your feeling.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Your testosterone level and my testosterone level might not be optimal at the same exact number.
- 31:33Speaker 2: I'm the type of person where I run fairly good on not having a super high testosterone level.
- 31:39Speaker 2: Other people, it might be different Men.
- 31:43Speaker 2: You know men always talk about testosterone but sometimes they have elevated estrogen and they're wondering why they have man boobs.
- 31:49Speaker 2: Or you know they're more emotional than their wife is and you know they're having trouble gaining muscles.
- 31:55Speaker 2: So we're gonna assess all those things.
- 31:56Speaker 2: So my plan is not gonna look like your plan, even for a basic hormone patient.
- 32:00Speaker 2: We're not.
- 32:01Speaker 2: I hate to use the term hormone mill, which we see a lot of places get bad reps.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Believe it.
- 32:08Speaker 2: We're not selling you hormones.
- 32:09Speaker 2: We're optimizing you and we're making you feel good where you need to feel good, and sometimes it's a culmination of the blood work but also like system, like how are you feeling?
- 32:19Speaker 2: Like, let's dive into this.
- 32:21Speaker 2: So that's why the relationship is so important between the patient and the provider and not everyone's plan is the same.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Makes sense.
- 32:28Speaker 2: If you're on a weight loss plan, you know it could range from something like you know that the person who really needs like a semi-glutei treatment, but then other people might just need, like, let's look at your vitamin levels, look at your minerals, let's look at what you're eating.
- 32:41Speaker 2: So again, even weight loss it's not every plan is the same.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Autoimmune conditions those are a huge thing.
- 32:48Speaker 2: Sometimes we'll incorporate IVs.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Thyroid patients Sometimes they wanna get off their synthetic thyroid medicine and they wanna do a little change.
- 32:56Speaker 2: Or they need different minerals, they need IV support.
- 32:58Speaker 2: And then you know there's the whole Med House component where we throw in the Med House modalities.
- 33:05Speaker 2: So, every plan is super different.
- 33:07Speaker 1: So they'll intermix the interplay between some of the modalities in the Med House in addition to the-.
- 33:13Speaker 2: So it can get as complex as you want it, or it can be like let's just start with like baby steps.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, and then sometimes when people come in and they're like I wanna do everything.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like okay, well, let's break this down, let's make a plan.
- 33:24Speaker 2: We always say what's your top three right now, Like let's start with your top three.
- 33:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Love the enthusiasm.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Get the people who come in and they're ready to change their whole lives.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
- 33:35Speaker 1: What would you say?
- 33:37Speaker 1: That the most common questions clients usually ask you guys?
- 33:41Speaker 1: Patients will ask you.
- 33:44Speaker 2: What else can I do?
- 33:45Speaker 1: What else can I do?
- 33:45Speaker 1: What's next?
- 33:46Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody always wants to know what's next.
- 33:51Speaker 2: And what's also great about our field in functional medicine is things are always changing.
- 33:55Speaker 2: There's always new modalities, there's always new peptides, there's always new IVs.
- 33:59Speaker 2: There's always the latest and greatest, which is a mixed review, because you know you have everybody who thinking they're an expert in the field and somebody might come in and be like I want to go completely keto and you're like I don't know if that's great for you but you know this guy said it online, so we have to battle with that.
- 34:17Speaker 2: But what also is great is that there is something always changing and always evolving, so people always just want to, they want to be educated and they want to know like what's new.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good.
- 34:27Speaker 1: You mentioned peptides.
- 34:29Speaker 1: That seems to be a pretty popular or getting more popular kind of thing.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Let's talk about that.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Yeah, so I mean, there's so many different peptides that do so many different things in the body, whether it's muscle leaning people out, whether it's for muscles, whether it's for cognitive function and again, that's something that people should really talk to their providers about, because it's not a one size fits all and there's so many different ones and a lot of people they'll start on one and they'll rotate to another, and that's what's really nice about it is there's so many options and it's so individualized.
- 35:05Speaker 2: But they're great.
- 35:06Speaker 2: It's the way of the future.
- 35:08Speaker 2: It's like stem cells and everything else, like there's all these tools in our toolbox to be able to use and peptides are definitely making their way in.
- 35:18Speaker 1: That's cool, that's awesome and some of the biggest benefits you find with peptides, and is it like a weekly kind of treatment or is it once a month, like sometimes so you can take them in all different ways.
- 35:31Speaker 2: You can take them sublingual.
- 35:32Speaker 2: You can get injections.
- 35:33Speaker 2: You can do there's all different ways.
- 35:36Speaker 2: I can speak from personal experience.
- 35:38Speaker 2: I like BPC.
- 35:39Speaker 2: I get these little like micro injuries and I'll shoot, I'll inject the BPC in and it's like mind blowing what even like one injection can do.
- 35:51Speaker 1: In what way?
- 35:52Speaker 2: Like I don't want to use the word heal, but like the other I had a hip injury going.
- 35:58Speaker 2: You know, you guys were working with me and I put some BPC in there and it was like the next day I was doing dead lifts again, like it was.
- 36:05Speaker 2: It was, you know, which probably was a little smarter.
- 36:07Speaker 2: So I do.
- 36:07Speaker 1: But it's like I feel great, let's get after.
- 36:09Speaker 2: You know I felt nothing really after that.
- 36:11Speaker 2: And you know there's other peptides.
- 36:14Speaker 2: You know that people use for weight loss.
- 36:18Speaker 2: I know that people love them and a lot of them are precursors to help people's natural hormones go up or their human growth go up.
- 36:26Speaker 2: So again, really, depending on what your goal is, there's a peptide for basically anything you can do anti-aging, weight loss, muscle muscle recovery, injury.
- 36:39Speaker 1: So that's cool.
- 36:40Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Yeah, cause I've heard a lot about them.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely want to talk more about that in the future too.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe get Joe on here.
- 36:47Speaker 2: I think you should get Joe on here.
- 36:49Speaker 2: He used to speak a little more intelligently on them Next slide.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Yeah, he actually trains providers on peptide therapies and again it's like there's a new one, like every month.
- 36:58Speaker 1: So what did you say?
- 37:00Speaker 2: You know, I feel like I'm always behind the game.
- 37:01Speaker 2: I'm like this is so cool and everyone's like that's so.
- 37:04Speaker 2: Three months ago.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Yeah, like what, just now getting armies?
- 37:07Speaker 1: Yeah, the other day we're like I was talking to somebody and they're like, as a dad, right, and practice owner and working with patients and stuff, self hobbies self-care is usually put on a back burner, which what definitely want to keep the self-care thing in check.
- 37:23Speaker 1: You know what I mean and hobbies are definitely way on the back burner, you know.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Oh yeah, TV also.
- 37:28Speaker 1: What are hobbies?
- 37:29Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly yeah.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Is cooking a hobby.
- 37:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I put caring for like baths for my kids laundry Is that a hobby?
- 37:37Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking about like TV shows with some friends or something.
- 37:40Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you know, like we just started watching, or my wife had been watching Nashville, have you guys seen that?
- 37:45Speaker 1: And they're like yo, that's like years old and I'm like well, there you go.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Great.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I like this conversation.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt that way about suits.
- 37:54Speaker 2: I started watching suits, read, listening, and everybody's like do you know how old that is?
- 37:58Speaker 1: Great, great, great, cool, cool, cool.
- 37:59Speaker 2: Ok, yeah so much of a loser.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Go back to reading my book.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I'll go back to like exercising and like working on Cool.
- 38:05Speaker 1: That's funny, All right.
- 38:08Speaker 1: So then in like.
- 38:10Speaker 1: This is a question I've asked a couple of people providers and stuff and your opinion and definition what do you feel like is the best recipe for longevity and youthfulness over the longest period possible?
- 38:22Speaker 1: What does that include?
- 38:25Speaker 2: I should probably say a modality or something we sell, but I really think it's mindset and positivity which I do feel like we curate an environment for that.
- 38:34Speaker 2: But I think really, just, you have to set goals and they have to be obtainable.
- 38:43Speaker 2: And I think that getting the tools and the education and having that just positive mindset and that gratitude mindset that you're so lucky to be alive and to be able to experience things and create your own reality and future and I think self-care goes into that a lot.
- 39:04Speaker 1: Yeah, which is pretty much everything.
- 39:05Speaker 2: we're just talking about Everything we're just talking about, like you're going to live a long, happy, healthy life, I mean, unless a preventable accident happens if you take care of yourself and I fully believe that when you take care of yourself, you're going to output and whatever you output, you're going to get back.
- 39:21Speaker 2: So if you're a positive person and you're working on yourself and you're putting that out there, it's going to bounce right back.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 39:27Speaker 1: So mindset positivity, an attitude of gratitude, consistently at least, and in self-care, and having goals.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Yeah, having goals.
- 39:36Speaker 1: With the within the self-care and in that mix.
- 39:40Speaker 1: This is kind of challenging to summarize life health, but the elements would include positivity, mindset, gratitude, having some goals and a plan in the self-care.
- 39:52Speaker 1: And within the self-care would include, I would say, exercise Things that I've heard exercise fitness.
- 39:58Speaker 2: I'm a big proponent of exercise and I've always moved, but I would say after my second kid is when I really realized the mental outlet that I gives you.
- 40:10Speaker 2: I used to go to work out of some trainer which you know my trainer as well.
- 40:13Speaker 2: He would always say to me he's like, how do you feel?
- 40:15Speaker 2: And I'm like better than when I came in.
- 40:16Speaker 2: And he's like your body is rewarding you right now for everything that you just put in, those happy hormones that you're feeling, that sweat that you're putting out.
- 40:24Speaker 2: That is your body rewarding you.
- 40:26Speaker 2: And he would tell me he's like, how is your mind supposed to fully function the way it is if your body isn't at rest?
- 40:33Speaker 2: And you see, all these CEOs or self-made millionaires are just like influential speakers, tony Robbins, they all talk about it.
- 40:39Speaker 2: You have to rest the body for the mind to work.
- 40:42Speaker 2: But then, if you want to take it one step further, it does cause inflammation on the body to work out.
- 40:47Speaker 2: So that's where recovery and I think the wellness center that we have created we aid in that as well you have to have recovery.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Your body has to recover because if you cause all this inflammation on your body, it is going to affect you in the future with muscle issues and cortisol in your hormones.
- 41:05Speaker 2: So you have to have that recovery balance and again, that's the self-care component.
- 41:09Speaker 1: Right, totally, I think, with that the exercise component and trust me, I battle this all the time, but no means my perfect or some kind of like Jocko Willink.
- 41:18Speaker 1: You like Jocko Willink, the ex-Navy Seal entrepreneur?
- 41:24Speaker 2: He sounds cool.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's solid with consistency and discipline, good, but anyway I like him a lot.
- 41:31Speaker 1: So I'm not like that, cause I battle this stuff all the time the exercise and the fitness and putting your body through a challenging, stressful kind of environment which is like physical fitness and challenging.
- 41:42Speaker 1: But the short-term discomfort, the willingness to be to go into that short-term discomfort for the long-term benefit and long-term gain consistently, is a very hard thing to consistently make happen.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's what separates driven.
- 42:00Speaker 2: What's the word I would use?
- 42:05Speaker 1: Ambitious.
- 42:05Speaker 2: Self-discipline.
- 42:06Speaker 2: They really do like you.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Look at somebody who works out, they get delayed gratification.
- 42:10Speaker 2: You don't get rewarded right away Like working out in your body and your health.
- 42:14Speaker 2: Everything that I would say me, you, anybody in the fitness world does, it's delayed gratification, it's you having to put in the work Right.
- 42:23Speaker 2: You can't lead them to the right place, but people have to put in that work.
- 42:27Speaker 2: You know if you're a type two diabetic, it's not going to change in one day.
- 42:30Speaker 2: You have to put in the work.
- 42:32Speaker 2: You have to change your eating habits.
- 42:33Speaker 2: You have to change, you know, the movement that you do every day.
- 42:38Speaker 2: That you know getting the training and the education and it's not going to happen overnight.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Same thing with your body.
- 42:43Speaker 2: You're not going to get the body you want in one day.
- 42:45Speaker 1: And.
- 42:46Speaker 2: I think that all those components again make happy people, cause you're pushing your body.
- 42:51Speaker 2: You're, like you said, doing a challenge.
- 42:53Speaker 2: You're stressing your body.
- 42:54Speaker 2: We were meant to be stressed.
- 42:56Speaker 2: We were meant to be discomforted.
- 42:58Speaker 2: Life is not all rainbows, and you know perfection and, as humans, I think that you know we are living in a world of just like immediate gratification, and that's not.
- 43:09Speaker 2: That's not what we were designed to do.
- 43:11Speaker 1: Right Mentioned nutrition a lot, and definitely the huge, probably the most influential component of like all this stuff.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Food is medicine.
- 43:18Speaker 1: What, what recommendations do you find yourself giving patients and stuff, food, nutrition.
- 43:25Speaker 2: I believe everything is about balance.
- 43:26Speaker 2: I am struggling with I have an autoimmune condition and I struggle with sugar.
- 43:32Speaker 2: It's huge.
- 43:33Speaker 2: I think that sugar is like the biggest drug there is.
- 43:35Speaker 2: So I think you know it's all about balance.
- 43:39Speaker 2: It's you know, we don't believe at our three health and like fat diets.
- 43:42Speaker 2: We don't believe you should be strictly keto.
- 43:45Speaker 2: We don't think you should be strictly like you know, eating all, all meat or all you know vegetables.
- 43:51Speaker 2: I think it's about that well rounded and finding what works for your body.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Like, everyone's body is different and you need to listen to your body.
- 43:58Speaker 2: If you create a body that is working optimally.
- 44:01Speaker 2: You're working out, you're doing all the things.
- 44:03Speaker 2: You should listen to your body.
- 44:05Speaker 2: It's going to tell you what it needs.
- 44:06Speaker 2: So, like our dietitian, she's very big.
- 44:09Speaker 2: She does not follow a fat diet.
- 44:11Speaker 2: She's not into taking a quick pick fixed pill.
- 44:13Speaker 2: It's about creating healthy habits and educating on what is a well rounded diet look like.
- 44:21Speaker 2: And the right times to eat.
- 44:22Speaker 2: You know, is fasting good for your, is it not?
- 44:25Speaker 2: Like you know, there's there's so many different eating.
- 44:30Speaker 2: You know weight, everybody's different and there's a way and a rhyme for everybody.
- 44:35Speaker 2: So what works, again, for one person might not work for another, but I think it's all about everything in moderation and Finding what works for you.
- 44:44Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.
- 44:45Speaker 1: I've heard the 80-20 rule is definitely a good one to go by.
- 44:48Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I live by that, the balance right.
- 44:50Speaker 2: It's all about balance.
- 44:52Speaker 1: You mentioned that you've been battling a cold for a little while.
- 44:56Speaker 1: You hear it Not really, but you just mentioned it.
- 44:59Speaker 1: So let's say somebody's in your shoes right now, what things have you been doing with your resources to get through it or that you recommend?
- 45:10Speaker 2: Yeah, so the free things.
- 45:12Speaker 2: I just need to sleep more.
- 45:14Speaker 2: I think sleeping is how our body heals and recovers.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Drinking plenty of water.
- 45:19Speaker 2: With that I've been getting IVs, hydration IVs.
- 45:23Speaker 2: I do the works because it's got the vitamin C, the lysine, the zinc, followed by a little glutathione, and I've been doing my ozone's once a week.
- 45:31Speaker 2: I have two kids that are always coming home from school with something, so I have noticed that doing these things it helps me get over it much quicker, so I might catch something.
- 45:43Speaker 2: But the shelf life of that virus or whatever I've caught is gonna be dramatically shortened.
- 45:49Speaker 2: And the salt suite I love going, or the salt room.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I love that you were mentioning.
- 45:54Speaker 1: With that, and similar to people who've been exposed to, maybe mold, these modalities and directions with treatments help to create an environment that they don't like to be in, Like the mold other pathologies don't like to be part of, and that would include a lot of the modalities you're talking about the salt room, the works IV, glutathione ozone.
- 46:21Speaker 2: Yeah, the ozone is big because that's like, really the O3 is going in and it's making an environment that that virus, that bacteria does not wanna thrive in.
- 46:30Speaker 2: So and again there's so many other things that we do that you go no provider, but those are the basic.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Like you have a cold, you need a quick fix.
- 46:39Speaker 2: Like that's what I would suggest.
- 46:41Speaker 1: I had a conversation with another integrative doc on here and she was talking about the ozone there, the O3 benefits and how huge it is too for that.
- 46:51Speaker 1: So like that's like pretty well accepted, it seems like in the integrative health space that's gonna be really beneficial.
- 46:59Speaker 2: Yeah definitely.
- 47:00Speaker 2: I do it every week.
- 47:01Speaker 2: I love it.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Once a week.
- 47:02Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 47:05Speaker 2: I mean, I know somebody so.
- 47:06Speaker 1: Yeah, you kinda like you know it's a little easier for me.
- 47:09Speaker 2: But yeah, I really enjoyed, especially like when I'm, you know, in the depths of being sick.
- 47:14Speaker 2: I can't really go in like the hyperbaric oxygen chamber because you know my ears will pop or it's just discomforting.
- 47:19Speaker 2: So the ozone IV is really nice alternative.
- 47:23Speaker 1: That's cool, that's good enough.
- 47:25Speaker 2: I just did a post that was really like whoa, they drew my blood and you could see how dark it was and you know it just looked like, you know, poor circulation, lack of oxygen, and then they put the O3 in it and how red it was, Like it's just like it brought my blood back to life.
- 47:39Speaker 1: Interesting.
- 47:40Speaker 2: And I saw that photo and even me, I get very I don't get surprised by a lot of things that we do anymore because we've been doing it for as often but I was like I have to post this.
- 47:47Speaker 2: This is like amazing, it's profound, it's profound.
- 47:50Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a really that's a great visual.
- 47:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's literally black and white, right in front of you.
- 47:55Speaker 1: There it is.
- 47:55Speaker 1: I can't argue that that's really cool.
- 47:57Speaker 1: Well, that's awesome.
