0:33
Speaker 2: Hey, good afternoon, and welcome to another episode of Wellness Uncensored.
0:37
Speaker 2: My name's doctor Patty G. I am your host of
0:40
Speaker 2: today's show. Welcome back. If you've been tuning in for
0:43
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, months, or years, we actually
0:47
Speaker 2: have had this show going now and we're finishing up
0:49
Speaker 2: our third season. I can't believe it's been three years.
0:52
Speaker 2: And this show comes to you hopefully as a benefit
0:57
Speaker 2: of mindset of what we need to do to keep
0:59
Speaker 2: our ourselves informed, because you are just not going to
1:02
Speaker 2: hear everything on the mainstream media. So when you hear
1:05
Speaker 2: it here gives you a chance to investigate, do your
1:08
Speaker 2: own research, take a look at things, and as always,
1:11
Speaker 2: we welcome you guys to text in with questions. So
1:14
Speaker 2: I'm doctor Patty G. I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I've
1:18
Speaker 2: got nearly four decades in of care and treatment of
1:21
Speaker 2: patients in a variety of different settings and roles, working
1:25
Speaker 2: through acute care, psychiatric care, and now more recently into
1:29
Speaker 2: private practice and working alongside other fabulous psychiatric providers. And
1:34
Speaker 2: so today would not go without notice. I am not home,
1:38
Speaker 2: So the benefits today as I have no distractions, no
1:42
Speaker 2: fur babies, no dogs at my feet in Nashville, Tennessee,
1:47
Speaker 2: and I've been here all week for a conference on
1:49
Speaker 2: nothing other than what I absolutely rave about to folks
1:53
Speaker 2: is transcranial magnetic therapy. So if you've never heard of
1:57
Speaker 2: transcranial magnetic therapy, we will talk a little bit about
2:00
Speaker 2: it today. It is one of many modalities that are
2:03
Speaker 2: really beneficial to help you to reset your brain, help
2:07
Speaker 2: you reset your life, help you really get on the
2:09
Speaker 2: path that you want to be on to be your
2:12
Speaker 2: best self. And there's lots of things to learn when
2:15
Speaker 2: you try to figure out, you know, what is it
2:17
Speaker 2: that makes you do what you do? What is it
2:19
Speaker 2: that makes you are where you are? And many folks
2:23
Speaker 2: have heard me talk before I have this saying people
2:26
Speaker 2: are where they are because they choose to be, and
2:29
Speaker 2: that's not necessarily a bad thing. But if you're not
2:32
Speaker 2: happy where you are, if you've been struggling with symptoms
2:36
Speaker 2: or issues or situations. There is no time like the
2:39
Speaker 2: present to get yourself started. There's even a program that
2:43
Speaker 2: you can utilize. I believe it's free or nearly free
2:47
Speaker 2: out there on the internet. It's like the seventy five
2:49
Speaker 2: days to a reset to becoming the healthier you. And
2:52
Speaker 2: that's what we talk about here on Wellness Uncensored are
2:55
Speaker 2: ways to really optimize yourself, to help you be your
2:58
Speaker 2: best self, matter what the situation, funny story you know
3:03
Speaker 2: out here and traveling and last night, after going to
3:07
Speaker 2: a wonderful dinner venue, made my way back and about
3:10
Speaker 2: an hour or two later, I found that the dinner
3:13
Speaker 2: didn't like me as much as I liked it and
3:15
Speaker 2: spent the night in the bathroom. But why that's so
3:19
Speaker 2: important is because we need to find ways to get
3:23
Speaker 2: good positive responses to heal. And a lot of times
3:27
Speaker 2: when we don't feel our best self, we allow it
3:30
Speaker 2: to become not in the moment, within days and weeks
3:33
Speaker 2: and sue. And really it's all about what are you
3:36
Speaker 2: going to do to take that first step to change.
3:38
Speaker 2: I knew this morning I needed to get up and
3:40
Speaker 2: finish our final lecture series here and I knew my
3:44
Speaker 2: stomach certainly wasn't going to tolerate much, and I had
3:46
Speaker 2: to put on my face and get myself moving. And
3:49
Speaker 2: so there's a lot of things that you can do
3:51
Speaker 2: to try to get yourself in that mindset, most important
3:55
Speaker 2: of which is hydration and nutrition. Even today, I'm here
3:59
Speaker 2: with some recovery fuel of kombucha, and I've had some
4:04
Speaker 2: amino acids and some other hydrating drinks, and you know,
4:08
Speaker 2: it's okay if I didn't have a meal this morning.
4:11
Speaker 2: You know, we don't have to eat those three meals
4:14
Speaker 2: every day. And quite honestly, we want you to get
4:17
Speaker 2: into the mindset of fueling your body and responding to
4:20
Speaker 2: your body. And when you know how to learn how
4:22
Speaker 2: to fuel your body and listen to your body in response,
4:26
Speaker 2: you're going to be a whole lot healthier physically and emotionally.
4:29
Speaker 2: And both may come hand in hand, or one may
4:32
Speaker 2: come before the other, So keep that in mind. If
4:35
Speaker 2: you're tuning in and you can actually watch our program,
4:38
Speaker 2: We've got a q RS code down there at the
4:39
Speaker 2: bottom that will take you to our link, and there's
4:42
Speaker 2: several different things that we have available to you. You
4:45
Speaker 2: can get on my website, there's ways for you to
4:47
Speaker 2: actually look at doing some supplements supplementation. If you have
4:50
Speaker 2: questions about where to go, what to do, we can
4:53
Speaker 2: help to refer you nationally to people because I typically
4:56
Speaker 2: work in the Florida area all through the state. And
5:00
Speaker 2: then also several books I've written. One is a direct
5:04
Speaker 2: result or could be a direct result of trauma, and
5:07
Speaker 2: it's when folks get diagnosed with frozen shoulder. I've had
5:10
Speaker 2: the displeasure of having three, but here to say today
5:15
Speaker 2: both shoulders work really well and you two can recover
5:18
Speaker 2: from some of these stressors. We've talked in previous shows,
5:22
Speaker 2: and there's just so many topics that each week we
5:24
Speaker 2: try to break it down so that it's digestible and
5:27
Speaker 2: maybe if it doesn't apply to you, it can reply
5:30
Speaker 2: to a friend or a family member. But the book
5:33
Speaker 2: about frozen shoulder really is just about that healing the
5:36
Speaker 2: body from either emotions or physiological changes. It's rare, but
5:42
Speaker 2: it could happen from an accident or an injury. Most often,
5:46
Speaker 2: frozen shoulder comes from hormonal changes, emotional changes, or things
5:50
Speaker 2: triggered by deep stress and traumatic events. So that book
5:54
Speaker 2: is out there for you. It's a very holistic approach.
5:57
Speaker 2: We do talk about medicine and surgery, but those really
6:01
Speaker 2: our last ditch efforts to try to heal. If you
6:04
Speaker 2: want more information on that, you're also welcome to contact
6:07
Speaker 2: our office and our number is at the bottom of
6:09
Speaker 2: the screen, but it's nine oh four three seven seven
6:12
Speaker 2: one one ninety six. So that's just some helpful information
6:15
Speaker 2: for you. We've often gotten folks on here to talk
6:19
Speaker 2: about alternative measures of treatment, some of which, folks, you
6:22
Speaker 2: know this this podcast came apart because we were all
6:25
Speaker 2: locked down and shut down during the pandemic, and you know,
6:28
Speaker 2: open dialogue getting results through different treatment modalities was really
6:33
Speaker 2: not well heard of in those those weeks, months and years,
6:37
Speaker 2: and so this has always been a great channel to
6:40
Speaker 2: investigate other ways of healing. So a little bit more
6:43
Speaker 2: on that as we talk further. But you know, psychiatry
6:47
Speaker 2: is a fascinating field of study and when you think
6:50
Speaker 2: about it, and I tell my patients this all the time,
6:53
Speaker 2: your brain truly is your motherboard. And I'm not without
6:58
Speaker 2: good preparation. We had to read this book this past week,
7:02
Speaker 2: The Brain That Changes Itself, So just a little healthy
7:05
Speaker 2: plug for this book by doctor Norman Deutge, The Brain
7:10
Speaker 2: That Changes Itself and why we change, Why change in
7:13
Speaker 2: the brain is so important. Oftentimes, maybe you're in a
7:17
Speaker 2: situation emotionally, maybe you're in a physical setting an environment.
7:21
Speaker 2: Maybe you've physically become injured or unable to do some
7:25
Speaker 2: of the things that you've done. And I truly believe
7:29
Speaker 2: the power of the brain is so underutilized. If I'm
7:32
Speaker 2: correct in my statistic, I believe it's we use less
7:34
Speaker 2: than ten percent of our brain's capacity. And so when
7:38
Speaker 2: we think about it. In the book The Brain That
7:40
Speaker 2: Changes Itself, I encourage you to get a copy. It's
7:43
Speaker 2: about stories of personal triumph from the frontiers of psychiatry
7:48
Speaker 2: in brain science. And while some of it could be
7:51
Speaker 2: very technical, the stories of the patients and their recoveries
7:55
Speaker 2: is so important. And that's what I want you all
7:57
Speaker 2: to realize. Whether you've had a story in a book,
8:00
Speaker 2: and some of these stories are from many years ago,
8:03
Speaker 2: Today is the time to change. Today is the time
8:05
Speaker 2: to say, you know what, I want to focus more
8:07
Speaker 2: on my self care, on my mental health, my mental wellness.
8:11
Speaker 2: And you'd be amazed, myself included, when I found myself
8:16
Speaker 2: upon an extremely physically debilitating time. During the pandemic, I
8:21
Speaker 2: had gone from being physically active. That's if you're on
8:24
Speaker 2: the screen you can see a picture of my book below.
8:26
Speaker 2: They call me Harriet. During the pandemic, I actually became
8:29
Speaker 2: pretty ill myself with COVID. Prior to that, was very healthy,
8:34
Speaker 2: running about two to three miles a day, working out
8:37
Speaker 2: all the time. I ate well, and I think, if
8:39
Speaker 2: not by the grace of me having good health before,
8:43
Speaker 2: it allowed me to get out of the hospital. But
8:45
Speaker 2: I was very debilitated. I was on six leaders of
8:47
Speaker 2: oxygen and there was without any you know, no plan.
8:51
Speaker 2: So if any of you feel like you don't have
8:53
Speaker 2: a plan and you're not sure where to go, start
8:55
Speaker 2: with taking care of yourself. Start with your own internal motivators,
8:59
Speaker 2: yet self help guidance. Maybe look to get a therapist,
9:03
Speaker 2: a good therapist who can provide the way to coach
9:06
Speaker 2: and maybe help you. But that's definitely the first steps.
9:10
Speaker 2: And yeah, I think Jess was asking about something and
9:14
Speaker 2: it can it's kombucha, and there's all kinds out there,
9:19
Speaker 2: and if you're tuning in, I've just got the healthy
9:21
Speaker 2: aid kombucha. But speaking of getting yourself healthy and healing,
9:26
Speaker 2: you know, it's the first step to really making a decision.
9:30
Speaker 2: Because you can go to all the therapists in the world,
9:32
Speaker 2: you can go all to the psychiatric providers in the world,
9:35
Speaker 2: you can go to your primary care and you can
9:38
Speaker 2: lump your your symptoms and your problems and your challenges
9:42
Speaker 2: on them. But the question I always ask my patients
9:44
Speaker 2: after I find out what's their history, what are you
9:48
Speaker 2: willing to do? Because if you're not willing to change,
9:50
Speaker 2: if you're not willing to take some steps, and those
9:53
Speaker 2: steps can be very hard in the beginning, then really,
9:56
Speaker 2: where can we help you. I can't do the work.
9:59
Speaker 2: I can give the guidelines, I can give you the
10:01
Speaker 2: treatment you know, and yes, we can even give you
10:05
Speaker 2: some some prescriptions of medications sometimes to try. But it's
10:09
Speaker 2: it's lifestyle. It's how you wake up each day and
10:12
Speaker 2: start your day. And yeah, it might be tough in
10:14
Speaker 2: the beginning, especially if you're you know, you're in that
10:17
Speaker 2: dark space of depression, or if you're just so over
10:20
Speaker 2: brought and overwhelmed with anxiety, or maybe you're living in
10:23
Speaker 2: a world of just overthinking, overthinking and can't get past
10:27
Speaker 2: the world you've created of all these OCD type steps.
10:31
Speaker 2: A lot of times folks suffer with coping mechanisms that
10:35
Speaker 2: lead to eating disorders, that lead to addictions, that lead
10:39
Speaker 2: to substance use behavior. So it's really difficult sometimes to
10:43
Speaker 2: figure your way out, especially when you have someone just
10:46
Speaker 2: talking to you through the radio or talking to you
10:48
Speaker 2: through the Internet and telling me, yeah, just let's get
10:51
Speaker 2: you motivated. A lot of times you need to get support,
10:54
Speaker 2: and that support can come in the treatment of a
10:57
Speaker 2: combination of the therapist and a gatric provider or a
11:01
Speaker 2: good functional integrative psychiatric provider. What I've found my career
11:06
Speaker 2: really kind of building into is more in the realm
11:09
Speaker 2: of integrative functional psychiatry, and in that what does that
11:13
Speaker 2: really mean. That means I take a holistic approach to
11:16
Speaker 2: use innovative, but well researched, well studied types of treatments
11:20
Speaker 2: that generally will take us away from medication. And so
11:24
Speaker 2: if you're interested in not being part of just one
11:26
Speaker 2: pill after another pill, A lot of what we talk
11:29
Speaker 2: about on this particular show is supplementation, nutrition movement, and
11:36
Speaker 2: then the use of alternative treatments that are extremely effective.
11:41
Speaker 2: And I just can't say enough about transcranial magnetic therapy.
11:44
Speaker 2: It is one hundred times, in my professional opinion, way
11:48
Speaker 2: more effective than having to rely on medication. And remember,
11:52
Speaker 2: medication is meant to be a source to lift and
11:55
Speaker 2: improve your mentation, your mood. You're thinking, if you're not
12:00
Speaker 2: a treatment with that, like therapy, some type of therapy,
12:04
Speaker 2: cognitive therapy, emotional regulation therapy, transcranial magnetic therapy, if you're
12:11
Speaker 2: not getting treatment to help work on changing the behavior
12:14
Speaker 2: and the way you think and look at things, then
12:17
Speaker 2: all you're doing is just ban dating your symptoms. And
12:21
Speaker 2: I don't know if you realize, but you know what'll
12:23
Speaker 2: happen to that in five or ten years, you'll still
12:25
Speaker 2: be on medication and you'll be coming to me or
12:27
Speaker 2: someone like me, going, I've been on all these medications
12:30
Speaker 2: and nothing's working. Unfortunately. That's why maybe you've had therapy,
12:35
Speaker 2: and maybe that therapy has helped you so far, and
12:38
Speaker 2: maybe it's time to freshen up and find a new treatment,
12:41
Speaker 2: therapist or better still, you know, we've got over thirty
12:44
Speaker 2: five centers across the United States. There are multiple companies
12:48
Speaker 2: that are out there now utilizing transcrinal magnetic therapy. But
12:52
Speaker 2: send me a note, send me a line, and I
12:53
Speaker 2: can help refer you to the centers that we have
12:56
Speaker 2: across the United States. A couple of good questions come in.
13:01
Speaker 2: Do I think they're fixing to try to release something
13:04
Speaker 2: else upon us? Oh? Absolutely, I think they've been there.
13:07
Speaker 2: It's ongoing, and that's why you have to stay informed.
13:10
Speaker 2: You know, the pandemic of twenty twenty was the biggest
13:16
Speaker 2: exercise to see how compliant people would be. And you know,
13:20
Speaker 2: not jumping into conspiracy theories, but look how quick people
13:23
Speaker 2: you know, jumped on. It was led by fear, and
13:27
Speaker 2: in psychiatry we work to help you to get past
13:31
Speaker 2: your fear. And it's quite shocking actually, because a lot
13:35
Speaker 2: of the folks in the medical model they all operated on,
13:38
Speaker 2: you know, one set of rules, one guideline, and folks
13:41
Speaker 2: like myself and many other providers out there tried to
13:44
Speaker 2: get information to people on let's try some of these
13:47
Speaker 2: alternatives to help keep you out of the hospital and
13:49
Speaker 2: keep you healthy. And at the time, had I been
13:52
Speaker 2: able to have my hands on a few other tips
13:54
Speaker 2: and types of medication, maybe I would have avoided you know,
13:59
Speaker 2: a fourteen day high hospitals stay and three or four
14:02
Speaker 2: days in the ICU. Maybe I wouldn't have become as
14:05
Speaker 2: compromised as I was. But again, now knowledge is power,
14:09
Speaker 2: and that's what I want you, guys, is to move forward,
14:12
Speaker 2: not in fear, but sort of in a frontier of
14:15
Speaker 2: faith and knowledge, you know, move forward confidently. It's really
14:20
Speaker 2: important to take the time to learn because learning is power,
14:25
Speaker 2: learning is change. And maybe we individually don't have all
14:29
Speaker 2: the answers, but look to others that do. Look to
14:32
Speaker 2: some of the things that are on this podcast, look
14:35
Speaker 2: to some of the resources we have, look into certain
14:38
Speaker 2: things on the internet and explore. And your questions are
14:41
Speaker 2: always great, so I always appreciate you guys asking those questions.
14:45
Speaker 2: If you need to reach me, there's information at the bottom.
14:48
Speaker 2: You can either go on to Magnoliabewellness dot com and
14:53
Speaker 2: that's a way to link up with me, and it's
14:56
Speaker 2: the letter B. It's Magnolia, the letter B and then
14:59
Speaker 2: Wellness dot or you can contact our office at nine
15:02
Speaker 2: oh four three seven seven one one ninety six. It's
15:06
Speaker 2: great if you text. That line is always open, so
15:08
Speaker 2: we can text a response back to pretty quickly. And again,
15:11
Speaker 2: if you're not in the Florida State of Florida, we
15:15
Speaker 2: can refer you nationally to wonderful providers that provide all
15:18
Speaker 2: kinds of treatments. I've connected folks to be able to
15:20
Speaker 2: get platelet rich plasma injections certain areas of the body
15:25
Speaker 2: that they've had issue or injury with and as well
15:29
Speaker 2: as psychiatric providers as well as therapist. So there's a
15:33
Speaker 2: lot of good resources out there. Yeah, my conference, I'm
15:37
Speaker 2: here working with the company they bring out, Brainswave. Brainswave
15:42
Speaker 2: is the company actually is probably the best TMS piece
15:46
Speaker 2: of equipment that's out there in the market, and it's
15:48
Speaker 2: so laser pinpoint focused of how it uses magnetic therapy
15:52
Speaker 2: to repair and renew how your synapses fire, to really
15:56
Speaker 2: optimize your brain. It is quite the opposite from what
16:00
Speaker 2: you folks may have heard of electric shock therapy. Electric
16:04
Speaker 2: shock therapy unfortunately does some dampening down and there's some
16:07
Speaker 2: memory loss involved. It's not as widely used today, and
16:11
Speaker 2: there's good reasons why it's not. But magnetic therapy has
16:14
Speaker 2: a way of really getting in there and repairing and
16:17
Speaker 2: lighting up you know, your brain with all of those
16:20
Speaker 2: neurons and dendrites that we learned about in high school.
16:23
Speaker 2: The way they light up and the way they fire.
16:25
Speaker 2: It creates new dendrite patterning, and those neurotransmitters not only build,
16:31
Speaker 2: but they rebuild and you can really optimize your brain.
16:34
Speaker 2: That was the point that I wanted to get to
16:36
Speaker 2: on this book about the brain that changes itself. But
16:39
Speaker 2: so many folks find that when they're stuck where they've
16:43
Speaker 2: got limitations, they feel like it's a deficit, whether they've
16:47
Speaker 2: had strokes or they've had a physical limitation, the use
16:51
Speaker 2: of a limb, the loss of a body part, something
16:55
Speaker 2: debilitating the brain is so powerful. Working with someone who
16:59
Speaker 2: can help guide you and help you to have improvement
17:03
Speaker 2: and symptoms in many cases, and there's so much happening
17:06
Speaker 2: out there. You know, we would be remiss if we
17:08
Speaker 2: didn't think about you know, AI makes me a little
17:11
Speaker 2: nervous today because you kind of wonder, like, how does
17:13
Speaker 2: that information get in there? But you can't deny the
17:16
Speaker 2: fact that there is some really great, well tested research
17:20
Speaker 2: based with meta analysis of data to repair how you
17:26
Speaker 2: can perform and how you can function. And you'll get
17:28
Speaker 2: the stories if you pick up the book. But really,
17:32
Speaker 2: people overcoming deficits from either brain injury just ways that
17:38
Speaker 2: they you would never even dream that people could overcome.
17:41
Speaker 2: Myself what I was referring to when I came home
17:44
Speaker 2: from the hospital and was so debilitated. I really couldn't
17:47
Speaker 2: move around just the first floor. And by the use
17:50
Speaker 2: of taking oxygen therapy and working myself into what I
17:54
Speaker 2: called a cardiopulmonary repair every day and just building and
17:58
Speaker 2: building and documenting what I was doing, and then really
18:01
Speaker 2: resetting my nutrition, in about three months, I was able
18:05
Speaker 2: to get back to you know, full function and almost
18:08
Speaker 2: nearly as good as prior to getting sick. Cognition was
18:12
Speaker 2: still an issue, and I had brain fog, but a
18:14
Speaker 2: lot of those things repaired. And now it's been I
18:17
Speaker 2: guess five six years since I was ill, and I've
18:21
Speaker 2: even done a round of TMS, which I think has
18:24
Speaker 2: really helped as well, because that was one of the
18:26
Speaker 2: final areas where I had a little bit of brain fog.
18:28
Speaker 2: I couldn't recall names. I'd be looking right at the
18:31
Speaker 2: person and I just couldn't pull the name forward. So
18:33
Speaker 2: there's a lot to be said for the treatment as
18:36
Speaker 2: you go forward, if in fact you are ready to
18:39
Speaker 2: make a change in your life, and it's so important
18:43
Speaker 2: one folks, Oh James has a question my girlfriend's looking
18:46
Speaker 2: to do a study and is looking for a way
18:48
Speaker 2: to do an EEG at home. How would I suggest
18:52
Speaker 2: to get that done? You know, some of these at
18:55
Speaker 2: home treatments, I can't really comment on how effective they are.
18:58
Speaker 2: Most of these types of things need to be done
19:00
Speaker 2: in some type of like a neurology setting or a
19:03
Speaker 2: sleep study center, so I wouldn't really have a way
19:07
Speaker 2: to do something at home. There's different tests. I mean,
19:11
Speaker 2: that's the power of the Internet. You can google some
19:13
Speaker 2: good information and there are some tests that you can
19:15
Speaker 2: take to try to understand what some of your symptoms
19:18
Speaker 2: might be leading to. But that is the other point
19:21
Speaker 2: of what I wanted to share today. How many of
19:23
Speaker 2: us go out there and we are WebMD kings and queens,
19:27
Speaker 2: and we go and we find someone in our area
19:30
Speaker 2: to come talk to them, and we tell them I
19:32
Speaker 2: know that this is what I must have. And you're
19:35
Speaker 2: kind of self diagnosed before you go in there. And
19:38
Speaker 2: it's good to kind of have knowledge, but it's far
19:41
Speaker 2: better to keep an open mind because a lot of times,
19:43
Speaker 2: and I'll just give you one example, if you're having
19:47
Speaker 2: cognition issues, this is my favorite pet peep area because
19:50
Speaker 2: I'll get people in their thirties, forties, and fifties and
19:52
Speaker 2: even sixties, and they'll come in and they'll say, you know,
19:55
Speaker 2: I can't concentrate, I can't focus, I have my memory,
19:58
Speaker 2: I just have no memory left, and I'm having trouble sleeping.
20:02
Speaker 2: I've looked, and I've understand through research on the internet,
20:06
Speaker 2: I've got adult attention deficit. It's really not that easy, folks,
20:10
Speaker 2: to just come up with that diagnosis, because those are
20:13
Speaker 2: symptoms that could be found in many things, including PTSD, depression,
20:18
Speaker 2: and a host of other things. You might even have
20:21
Speaker 2: an eating disorder, and so they are lumped together for
20:24
Speaker 2: a reason. And I think it's important to keep an
20:27
Speaker 2: open mind because if you do have symptoms and you're
20:30
Speaker 2: just not sure you know what's going on, go to
20:33
Speaker 2: a trained professional, ask a few questions, let them kind
20:36
Speaker 2: of go through a history, and if you're able to again,
20:40
Speaker 2: I have to encourage you to go to places that
20:42
Speaker 2: are more integrative, going to what I would call more
20:45
Speaker 2: of the old school medical model. I've had patients come
20:48
Speaker 2: to me that are on no less than seven or
20:51
Speaker 2: eight psychotropic medications. They feel horrible, they can't sleep, they've
20:57
Speaker 2: got digestive issues. They've got all kinds of gut issues.
21:00
Speaker 2: Is they're physically limited because they're just tired all the time,
21:03
Speaker 2: so they're not working out. There's things that they can't do,
21:07
Speaker 2: and there's a term we use for that. It's called polypharmacy.
21:11
Speaker 2: More is not always better. So if in fact, you
21:14
Speaker 2: are on a host of medications, it might be time
21:18
Speaker 2: to come in for a tune up and take a
21:20
Speaker 2: look at a fresh perspective with integrative functional psychiatry. And
21:25
Speaker 2: there's lots of us out there across the country. We
21:28
Speaker 2: look at a holistic approach mind, body, and spirit, but
21:32
Speaker 2: we're looking at things like how much you hydrate, what
21:34
Speaker 2: do you hydrate with? Do you have any things that
21:37
Speaker 2: you hydrate with that you shouldn't? You know, between caffeine
21:40
Speaker 2: and alcohol and sugar those three things. Yeah, you're getting
21:44
Speaker 2: some hydration in, but there's a lot of different factors
21:47
Speaker 2: that go along with hydration that you're actually your body
21:50
Speaker 2: now is working harder than smarter, and you're taking away
21:53
Speaker 2: from your cognitive ability if you use each one of
21:56
Speaker 2: those things and let alone, if you use each one
21:58
Speaker 2: of those things in excess the other thing. You know,
22:02
Speaker 2: people sometimes they've been on a lifetime of medications, sometimes
22:05
Speaker 2: a lifetime of stimulants, and they'll come in and they'll suggest, well,
22:09
Speaker 2: you know, I just need a new dose, a higher dose,
22:11
Speaker 2: or I need a new stimulant. I can't function without it. Yes,
22:15
Speaker 2: you can. The problem is your body's become so dependent
22:18
Speaker 2: on it. Much like there's medications. People have been taken
22:22
Speaker 2: down this path, and it really bothers me that they've
22:25
Speaker 2: been taken down a path to help people get to sleep.
22:28
Speaker 2: Many times a primary care sometimes psychiatry, but it's usually
22:31
Speaker 2: primary care will prescribe a benzodiazepine to go to sleep.
22:35
Speaker 2: So they'll come to me and they'll say, yeah, I'm
22:38
Speaker 2: having trouble sleeping, but I'm I'm doing great with klonipin,
22:42
Speaker 2: but I'm still having trouble sleep in some nights and
22:45
Speaker 2: I'm tired and fatigued. These medications are only intended the
22:48
Speaker 2: benzodiazepines for short term use, really no more than two
22:52
Speaker 2: or three weeks. They're used for an acute onset of
22:55
Speaker 2: a situation, you know, a death, a divorce, flying, a
23:00
Speaker 2: situation emerging, a death of a pet. They're not intended,
23:05
Speaker 2: or at least they're not currently intended to be used
23:07
Speaker 2: every day, much less more than once a day. And
23:11
Speaker 2: I have people that come to me they're on it
23:12
Speaker 2: three and four times a day and they don't even
23:15
Speaker 2: realize how their body becomes impaired, how their body slows down.
23:20
Speaker 2: And truth be told, Benso, diazepines will help you to
23:24
Speaker 2: have an early onset of Alzheimer's dementia. So make no mistake,
23:29
Speaker 2: if you want to be geared up for some older
23:31
Speaker 2: adult issues, you're driving yourself in that direction. And the stimulants,
23:36
Speaker 2: outside of the fact what we know they do to
23:38
Speaker 2: the heart and to the kidney the pumping function. For
23:42
Speaker 2: just about every year that you're on a stimulant, you're
23:45
Speaker 2: wearing down your cardiopulmonary system, kidneys, probably five years for
23:51
Speaker 2: every year that you're on those stimulants. So I'm about you,
23:53
Speaker 2: but I do not want to be wearing my body
23:55
Speaker 2: down faster. I'm trying to preserve it to make it
23:58
Speaker 2: live longer, stronger, and healthy. So those two medications. Oh,
24:03
Speaker 2: and the stimulants, ladies, if you're concerned about collagen, it
24:08
Speaker 2: decreases collagen and biotin so over time, when you see
24:12
Speaker 2: folks that are in their early forties or early fifties,
24:15
Speaker 2: they tend to have less elastic, more wrinkled skin if
24:19
Speaker 2: they've been on a you know, an adult lifetime of stimulants.
24:23
Speaker 2: So now's the time to get down and off those
24:25
Speaker 2: things and find some healthier approaches. It's just that important,
24:29
Speaker 2: you know, It's really just that important. Yeah. I don't
24:34
Speaker 2: really know much about the latest claim to fame on
24:37
Speaker 2: ebola and the congo. I've heard about there's an ebola breakout,
24:40
Speaker 2: you know, But again, I want to tell you all,
24:42
Speaker 2: your immune system is powerful, and if you're taking good
24:46
Speaker 2: care and good health of yourself, you know, I'll leave
24:49
Speaker 2: and tell you like, there were times when I've had
24:51
Speaker 2: and I don't have it that often, but like this
24:52
Speaker 2: little food poisoning thing that I had last night, I
24:55
Speaker 2: don't know that I would have rebounded as quickly as
24:58
Speaker 2: I did to be functional at eight o'clock this morning
25:01
Speaker 2: if I didn't have a pretty robust body system of recovery.
25:07
Speaker 2: I'm sure many of you you know, if you're having
25:10
Speaker 2: some kind of sickness like that, you're pretty much taken
25:13
Speaker 2: out for at least the next morning. The next day, well,
25:16
Speaker 2: I can't say I'm up to go run. I feel okay,
25:20
Speaker 2: and I feel good and I don't feel sick. So
25:23
Speaker 2: it's so important whatever the outbreak. You know, your body
25:28
Speaker 2: is very well equipped to use its defense mechanisms and
25:32
Speaker 2: its internal structure, its immune system. So try to rely
25:37
Speaker 2: on that and remember it goes back to nutrition. What
25:40
Speaker 2: are you fueling your body with every day? You know,
25:43
Speaker 2: if you are fueling your body. There is a big
25:45
Speaker 2: difference between fueling and feeding. And rarely do I put
25:49
Speaker 2: feeding type stuff into my body if I'm out or socialized,
25:53
Speaker 2: and of course you're going to eat with friends, But
25:55
Speaker 2: on a day to day basis, I pretty much have
25:57
Speaker 2: a structured routine of protein, drinks, hydrate, I use branch
26:01
Speaker 2: chain amino acids throughout the day. I do a list
26:04
Speaker 2: of a few good supplements, and I'll mention a couple
26:07
Speaker 2: here that I always talk about. You really do your
26:09
Speaker 2: body well if you take a daily dose twice a
26:13
Speaker 2: day of NAC nyceeedyl system is it's short for NAC.
26:18
Speaker 2: It's the precursor to glucathion, and it's made in your body.
26:22
Speaker 2: But as we get older, we don't build enough. And
26:24
Speaker 2: if you are a frequent user of tile and all,
26:27
Speaker 2: it take a tile and all and it will turn
26:29
Speaker 2: off your master detoxifier glukeathion for twenty four hours. So
26:34
Speaker 2: I guess if you're going to use something for pain,
26:36
Speaker 2: try to go with something that's not tilenol based, the
26:39
Speaker 2: seed of minifin based, because that has the just the
26:43
Speaker 2: innate ability to turn that off. But NAC I usually
26:46
Speaker 2: recommend twice a day. The other supplement that I really
26:49
Speaker 2: love is NAD and that is short for nuclear tinamide adenosine,
26:54
Speaker 2: really long word. Your body makes that too, but after
26:58
Speaker 2: the age of twenty five it doesn't make it so much.
27:00
Speaker 2: And that's like the energizer of our mitochondria. Any D
27:05
Speaker 2: really can give you good fuel and good energy. You
27:07
Speaker 2: can get it in a lot of different forms. You
27:09
Speaker 2: can get it in a capsule, which is great, but
27:13
Speaker 2: remember a lot of these supplements that you take, if
27:15
Speaker 2: you don't take a really good one with minimal fillers.
27:18
Speaker 2: At best supplements and capsules, you probably are getting somewhere
27:22
Speaker 2: between forty five and fifty five percent of what's in there.
27:26
Speaker 2: It's better if you can get it in a different fashion,
27:29
Speaker 2: either sublingual or in a SubQ injection or even an IV.
27:35
Speaker 2: Now ivs are expensive, but if you've really been struggling
27:38
Speaker 2: and you've had immune issues, you've been sick, you've not
27:41
Speaker 2: been feeling well. If any of you have been stuck
27:44
Speaker 2: with the symptoms that we call long hauler syndrome, where
27:47
Speaker 2: you've got they refer to it as pots, the postural hypotension,
27:52
Speaker 2: eurotic blood pressure, fatigue, weakness, cognition issues and you have
27:57
Speaker 2: mentioned that, but cognition issues brain fog an ad really
28:02
Speaker 2: works well. It takes a couple of weeks. But if
28:04
Speaker 2: you can get a lot of local places provide nad
28:08
Speaker 2: IV infusions, those are phenomenal. So that's really important to
28:14
Speaker 2: consider getting some NADNAC and you know, you can look
28:18
Speaker 2: for a good multi there's a couple of good things
28:20
Speaker 2: I like for you folks out there that struggle with cognition,
28:24
Speaker 2: you really need to try some roadiola and rodiola starts
28:28
Speaker 2: with an R H R H O D I L A.
28:33
Speaker 2: It actually comes from a plant. But what a great
28:35
Speaker 2: natural way to boost your cognition. A little bit of energy,
28:39
Speaker 2: and then if you add in some American gensing to
28:42
Speaker 2: your protein drink or your your hydration, you're going to
28:47
Speaker 2: have enough energy and focus to really get through the
28:49
Speaker 2: day in a good way, and they're all non stimulus based.
28:53
Speaker 2: You know, these are healthy alternatives. Now I haven't seen
28:56
Speaker 2: anybody ask the question, but there's a reason why these
28:59
Speaker 2: things are effective and you don't know about them. And
29:01
Speaker 2: it does come down to capitalism. There's not a lot
29:05
Speaker 2: of money to be made now. I personally think there's
29:07
Speaker 2: plenty of money to be made if you're a good
29:09
Speaker 2: vitamin supplier, wholesaler and you know you're producing these things,
29:13
Speaker 2: but it's really tough to compete with the pharmaceutical companies.
29:17
Speaker 2: So another reason why you're on wellness uncensored because you're
29:20
Speaker 2: going to hear it from me without any apology. But
29:24
Speaker 2: I truly comformed that your body does heal itself. And
29:28
Speaker 2: I haven't talked about this in forever. But how I
29:32
Speaker 2: got to get all this information and get started was
29:35
Speaker 2: I was, you know, just a solid hardcore nurse trained
29:39
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia, went to Wharton, graduated from Penn, and have
29:43
Speaker 2: now gone on and finished my PSYCHEC Nurse Practitioner board
29:49
Speaker 2: certified and my doctoral degree. But I have to tell you,
29:52
Speaker 2: trained in Philadelphia, I was all out for the medical model.
29:55
Speaker 2: Worked at Children's Hospital Philadelphia. I've worked at some of
29:58
Speaker 2: the best places. And when my son was about a
30:00
Speaker 2: year old and he took ill that he was vomiting
30:04
Speaker 2: eight to nine times a day. His behavior had changed
30:08
Speaker 2: dramatically right about after he had some of his first
30:11
Speaker 2: year injections. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not. But
30:16
Speaker 2: after we had him in the hospital, they just wanted
30:18
Speaker 2: to put him on medication, and I said, but why
30:21
Speaker 2: why is he vomiting using my baby? He's twenty six now,
30:26
Speaker 2: and I took him out of the medical model. I
30:29
Speaker 2: was not going to put him on medications to just
30:31
Speaker 2: mask the symptoms. I'll tell you about a person that
30:34
Speaker 2: I believe still is practicing in California. Her name is
30:37
Speaker 2: doctor Laura Thompson, and I think it's with a T.
30:42
Speaker 2: Thomp Son. She's got several books out there. She is
30:49
Speaker 2: a microbiologist and Laura Thompson because twenty six years ago,
30:54
Speaker 2: there was no zoom calls, there was none of what
30:57
Speaker 2: we have now to just surf like we do on
30:59
Speaker 2: the internet. And her and I did phone calls and
31:03
Speaker 2: she gave me tips and tinctures and things to purchase
31:07
Speaker 2: to heal my son's gut because his white blood cells
31:12
Speaker 2: were coming back all of his eosinophils were off the charts.
31:16
Speaker 2: And so if you do lab work and you find
31:18
Speaker 2: out looking at labs where some of your symptoms may
31:21
Speaker 2: lie and some of your deficits, we know that eosinophils
31:24
Speaker 2: are a response to an insult that is causing an
31:29
Speaker 2: inflammatory response in your body. So his body was so inflamed.
31:32
Speaker 2: That's why the poor one year old was vomiting. And
31:35
Speaker 2: so if I just kept putting medication on it and
31:37
Speaker 2: giving him the foods that were causing inflammation, I'm sure
31:41
Speaker 2: over time he would have developed things like gourd and
31:45
Speaker 2: who knows what else. Right, So when you treat the
31:48
Speaker 2: root of the cause, you can actually heal the body.
31:52
Speaker 2: So after a course of all the supplements, he was
31:55
Speaker 2: probably the only kid I know that we would have
31:57
Speaker 2: little droppers and droppers under the tongue. And because I
32:01
Speaker 2: had two older sons, they too were part of my regimen,
32:05
Speaker 2: and they're the healthiest kids you can imagine today. They're
32:07
Speaker 2: quite resilient, quite healthy. My son has had a great
32:11
Speaker 2: health history, all three of them had, but him especially,
32:14
Speaker 2: and so that's kind of where I got started. So
32:16
Speaker 2: I talked to you with a vast experience of holistic
32:19
Speaker 2: healing and there's a place for it, there's a place
32:22
Speaker 2: for it, and so how do how does this relate
32:25
Speaker 2: to the mind body experience? And yes, Larry, thanks for
32:29
Speaker 2: the landy. I'm sorry. I do see patients online. If
32:32
Speaker 2: you just go to Magnoliabewellness dot com. I can help
32:36
Speaker 2: help you out online as well, and that's at the

Speaker 2: I can get you referred to places nationally to help

Speaker 2: you out as well. What is the better safer supplement
33:01
Speaker 2: maker to purchase from? Well, I have a few, and
33:04
Speaker 2: I have to tell you we've got about I want
33:08
Speaker 2: to say, one hundred really good manufacturers on Magnoia B Wellness.
33:12

33:15
Speaker 2: supplement section you can just click the link on there
33:18
Speaker 2: and on that link it'll take you to all third
33:20
Speaker 2: party tested On that link. There's two that I personally
33:24
Speaker 2: like and it's thorn and pure. You know, there's a
33:27
Speaker 2: lot of great ones, but I tend to use those
33:30
Speaker 2: two because they are just clean. There's not a lot
33:33
Speaker 2: of fillers. I can do a comparison. You actually can
33:36
Speaker 2: too if you go on and you're not sure which
33:38
Speaker 2: ones to pick. When you go through magnoiabewellness dot Com
33:41
Speaker 2: and click on supplements, you sign up into the program
33:45
Speaker 2: and you can actually compare. If you find two or
33:49
Speaker 2: three that you like and you're just not sure which
33:50
Speaker 2: one to pick it We'll go through a dropdown. But yeah,
33:54
Speaker 2: you want to pick something that says it's third party
33:57
Speaker 2: tested and do your homework. You know, there's there's lots
34:01
Speaker 2: of good ones out there. But you know, even when
34:03
Speaker 2: I travel, I will not travel without my little toolkit
34:07
Speaker 2: of different supplements because it's just that important to keep
34:10
Speaker 2: my body, you know, as healthy as can be. And
34:13
Speaker 2: I go back to who knew. I'm telling you I
34:17
Speaker 2: could have used a friend last night because I was here,
34:19
Speaker 2: my husband was back in Florida, and I just don't
34:23
Speaker 2: do well when I get that kind of illness. You know,
34:25
Speaker 2: give me a head cold, give me something, But when
34:27
Speaker 2: I'm that's sick in the bathroom is awful. Not to
34:30
Speaker 2: be gross, but you know, because some people I don't know,
34:34
Speaker 2: but there's a real phenomenon. And sometimes when you get
34:36
Speaker 2: that fight or flight response, we call it a vehicle response,
34:40
Speaker 2: and this can happen when you're having a panic attack too.
34:42
Speaker 2: So let me just jump into the panic side of things,
34:45
Speaker 2: because that's really important. But when we do panic, you know,
34:48
Speaker 2: we've got a lot of things we can help you
34:50
Speaker 2: with holistically as well for panic and panic attack symptoms.
34:54
Speaker 2: But did you ever notice you break down into a
34:55
Speaker 2: cold sweat and literally you're cold, but you're sweating, and
34:58
Speaker 2: then you feel like you're going to pay out. There
35:01
Speaker 2: comes a point in time sometimes you cannot physiologically hold
35:04
Speaker 2: it back and you pass out, and that's usually what happens.
35:07
Speaker 2: So I usually tell, at least for myself, I get
35:10
Speaker 2: load of the ground because there's a good chance if
35:12
Speaker 2: you get load to the ground, you won't get injured
35:14
Speaker 2: or sit down. And when you have those panicky feelings,
35:18
Speaker 2: you know those are real. People think sometimes they're having
35:20
Speaker 2: a heart attack. We always want you to get it
35:22
Speaker 2: checked out first, So don't ignore symptoms if they're new
35:25
Speaker 2: to you. But if you've been diagnosed and you have
35:29
Speaker 2: been told that these are panic attacks, there's a lot
35:31
Speaker 2: of things you can do. And let me jump into
35:33
Speaker 2: that piece, because that whole fight or flight feeling, it's
35:37
Speaker 2: a huge vaguel response. And your vagus nerve runs from
35:40
Speaker 2: the base of your brain all the way down to
35:42
Speaker 2: your small intestines. And I mentioned this in many episodes
35:45
Speaker 2: where it goes. It touches every organ in your body
35:49
Speaker 2: with nerve endings. So imagine why when you're having panic,
35:53
Speaker 2: or even when you have anxiety, you don't feel well
35:57
Speaker 2: in your stomach, or you have heartburn, you have indigestion,
36:00
Speaker 2: gener you have a headache. You name the symptoms. Right,
36:03
Speaker 2: your body is telling you you need to regroup and
36:07
Speaker 2: you need to find a better way to work through
36:09
Speaker 2: your daily life stressors. It's just that simple. So for stress, anxiety,
36:14
Speaker 2: and panic, how do we calm down that vegus nerve?
36:18
Speaker 2: A couple quick tidbits to give you, But you can
36:21
Speaker 2: hold a cold compress right over your cheeks and eyebrows
36:24
Speaker 2: and you put it on for twenty seconds, take it
36:26
Speaker 2: off for twenty seconds, put it on and take it off.
36:29
Speaker 2: You can hum, which I can't do very well, especially
36:32
Speaker 2: not here. You can sing. Why because when you hum
36:35
Speaker 2: and you sing, you're vibrating right along the vocal cord
36:38
Speaker 2: and the vegus nerve touches that area, and so it's
36:41
Speaker 2: almost like you take paddles to shock the vegus nerve
36:44
Speaker 2: by vibration, and it will help to calm you down.
36:47
Speaker 2: It may not work the first time, you may need
36:50
Speaker 2: to practice at it, but it's a great way to
36:51
Speaker 2: really help yourself. I also tell people another way is
36:54
Speaker 2: to step out of a room, go into a different area,
36:56
Speaker 2: take some deep breaths, you can drop and give me
36:59
Speaker 2: twenty you can do twenty five jumping jacks. What we're
37:03
Speaker 2: doing is you're stimulating the body and sometimes, like have
37:06
Speaker 2: you ever noticed boxers in a ring right before they
37:09
Speaker 2: go to fight? Why do they jump around like this
37:11
Speaker 2: just to show off their muscles or look cool. They
37:14
Speaker 2: do it because they're trying to do a quick reset
37:16
Speaker 2: because they're a little bit stressed. Right If you see
37:19
Speaker 2: the guy across the ring from you're like, oh boy,
37:22
Speaker 2: how am I going to take this guy down?
37:23
Speaker 1: Like?
37:23
Speaker 2: Think about that. That's probably the ultimate in fight or flight.
37:27
Speaker 2: So if you're doing this jiggle a little bit and
37:30
Speaker 2: you might not be in a place where you can
37:32
Speaker 2: but step outside if you need to, or you know,
37:35
Speaker 2: do whatever you have to. There's other exercises and you
37:38
Speaker 2: can go onto Amazon. There's lots of books on vegus
37:41
Speaker 2: nerve exercises. There's another one you can do where you
37:44
Speaker 2: put your arms up like a phoenix and you take
37:48
Speaker 2: a deep breath in and then you quickly bring your
37:50
Speaker 2: arms down so your elbows touch and you put your
37:52
Speaker 2: chin to your chest and exhale forcefully through your mouth.
37:55
Speaker 2: If you do that a bunch of times, about ten times,
37:58
Speaker 2: it should calm you down. Gosh, we've got a ton
38:01
Speaker 2: of questions. Farmers markets and what's better. Let's see, you know,
38:08
Speaker 2: farmer's markets. It really depends where the food comes from.
38:12
Speaker 2: But I think if you use a good product or
38:14
Speaker 2: rints and wash your fruit and vegetables, I would go.
38:17
Speaker 2: I think you're going to get them as close from
38:19
Speaker 2: farm to table from your local farmer. They're usually there
38:23
Speaker 2: and you can ask them questions about how they, you know,
38:26
Speaker 2: prepare and grow their their goods. I think that's really important.
38:30
Speaker 2: And you know, again we do have to be really
38:33
Speaker 2: careful of the foods that we eat and I hate
38:35
Speaker 2: to not spend enough time on this, but that is
38:37
Speaker 2: something I think we should spend a whole episode on
38:40
Speaker 2: because it's scary to see all the foods and how
38:43
Speaker 2: they've been, you know, just injected with things to preserve them.
38:48
Speaker 2: My favorite one is the energy drinks. I've told you
38:52
Speaker 2: guys all this before, but I learned this from a scientist.
38:55
Speaker 2: When you see all the healthy ingredients in there and
38:58
Speaker 2: you look down and you're like, oh, i've got B twelve.
39:01
Speaker 2: If it says cyaan before the B twelve, you are
39:04
Speaker 2: putting a preservative in your body that is cyan which
39:08
Speaker 2: is cyanide. And although you can google it and it
39:12
Speaker 2: says well in trace amounts, it's it's okay. A little
39:15
Speaker 2: bit of cyanide is not anything I want to put
39:18
Speaker 2: in my body. And a little bit of cyanide can
39:20
Speaker 2: also induce an immune response. That immune response can cause
39:24
Speaker 2: you to wheeze, tightness of the chest, headache, trouble breathing.
39:29
Speaker 2: Your lips could even turn blue. So if you notice
39:32
Speaker 2: after you have an energy drink that has cyan cobalamin
39:35
Speaker 2: in it, don't rule out you're just having a stressful day.
39:38
Speaker 2: Take that ingredient. Take that drink away. There are some
39:42
Speaker 2: really good ones if you google moments mom e nts.
39:47
Speaker 2: While there's a little bit of sugar in there, there's
39:49
Speaker 2: not any other preservatives, and they use methyl me E
39:52
Speaker 2: T H y L excuse me, methyl colibin, and with methylclibin,
39:58
Speaker 2: at least you know you're getting a B twelve if
40:00
Speaker 2: you're struggling. We don't all know where our genetic markers are.
40:04
Speaker 2: I always recommend folks too. If you want to bring
40:06
Speaker 2: a good supplement into your diet, you may want to
40:09
Speaker 2: get some genetic testing done first. But by and large,
40:12
Speaker 2: I have seen at least fifty percent of the population
40:14
Speaker 2: that I deal with are missing the L methyl folate enzyme.
40:20
Speaker 2: That L methyl folate gene actually to help digest and
40:24
Speaker 2: break things down, especially medications. It's important. So if you
40:27
Speaker 2: add L methyl folate, you can get it over the counter,
40:30
Speaker 2: you can get it off of our website. Use L methofolate.
40:34
Speaker 2: Your medication will probably work a little better. Maybe you
40:37
Speaker 2: can use lower doses. It'll help your supplements to work better.
40:42
Speaker 2: It's just a great overall product to use, and it's
40:44
Speaker 2: called L methyl folate. Okay, there was a question about hormones.
40:49
Speaker 2: If someone is on hormones, would it shed and cause
40:53
Speaker 2: harm to others? Actually, that's a really good question. Potentially, Yes,
40:57
Speaker 2: if you have someone on a hormone treatment and it's
41:00
Speaker 2: a cream, make no mistake if you touch an area
41:03
Speaker 2: of their body within thirty minutes to an hour, I
41:06
Speaker 2: say thirty minutes to an hour to be safe, you
41:08
Speaker 2: potentially could be absorbing estrogen or progesterone or both. Depends
41:13
Speaker 2: what the cream is, So whatever it is, especially if
41:15
Speaker 2: you're you know, if you're with someone in your intimate
41:18
Speaker 2: A lot of times they'll tell us to use those creams.
41:21
Speaker 2: If you're using a cream and put it in the
41:23
Speaker 2: area closest to you know where they're produced, you know,
41:26
Speaker 2: either out of the ovaries, the gonads, those type of areas.
41:30
Speaker 2: So if you're using a cream and you're with someone
41:32
Speaker 2: and then you know your skin's touching, yeah, you may
41:35
Speaker 2: not want to absorb the estrogen. You may not want
41:38
Speaker 2: to absorb the testosterone. So yeah, be weary of that.
41:40
Speaker 2: That's a great question when it comes to harm. I
41:43
Speaker 2: will tell you I'm a firm believer of hormone replacement
41:47
Speaker 2: treatment when done correctly, and there's a place that I
41:51
Speaker 2: utilize for a lot of my patients. I can't say
41:54
Speaker 2: enough good stuff about it. It's Castle Rock Hormone Health
41:58
Speaker 2: and I will give you the number while we're actually
42:01
Speaker 2: talking here on the screen, but you can google them too.
42:04
Speaker 2: I think it's www dot c r HH dot com.
42:09
Speaker 2: But a Castle Rock Hormone Health. Here's the main number.
42:14
Speaker 2: A Castle Rock. They're going to optimize you. And let's
42:18
Speaker 2: just go back to the brain. If your brain is
42:20
Speaker 2: working as good as it should and you're not having
42:23
Speaker 2: issues with cognition, brain fog, low mood, no anxiety, no insomnia,
42:30
Speaker 2: then maybe you don't necessarily need hormones, but you should
42:32
Speaker 2: get your levels checked. But if you're having things like
42:35
Speaker 2: brain fog, insomnia, irritability, mood change is sadness, anxiety, panic,
42:43
Speaker 2: before you rush to get onto an antidepressant, you may
42:46
Speaker 2: want to run to Castle Rock. Their number. Everybody got
42:50
Speaker 2: a pen ready, Castle Rock. You can reach them at
42:52
Speaker 2: nine zero four five zero six zero zero zero six.
42:58
Speaker 2: Cast Castle Rock is an national company and you can
43:02
Speaker 2: be treated nationwide. So whatever state you're in, just tell
43:06
Speaker 2: the team out there it's Carlos and Christina. Tell them
43:10
Speaker 2: Patty sent then they'll know that you'll watch the show.
43:13
Speaker 2: But nine oh four five zero six zero zero zero
43:18
Speaker 2: six Castle Rock Hormone Health and like I said, they're national.

Speaker 2: They'll even video conference you send you for labs and
43:27
Speaker 2: they'll ship you what you need. They'll also help you
43:29
Speaker 2: with in addition to hormones. You know, I think you
43:32
Speaker 2: guys have figured it out right. I'm all pretty much
43:35
Speaker 2: organic when it comes to treatment. But we get the
43:38
Speaker 2: hormones going, we get your brain in good function. We
43:42
Speaker 2: start with some good things. Maybe we can get you
43:44
Speaker 2: going with TMS medication if you need it. But then
43:48
Speaker 2: there's peptides, and peptides are a great precursor to also
43:52
Speaker 2: help you from an organic standpoint, and at Castle Rock
43:56
Speaker 2: they can help you there as well. There's actually a
43:58
Speaker 2: peptide called s l Upp thirty three. It was created
44:05
Speaker 2: at the Saint Louis University, Washington University at Saint Louis,
44:09
Speaker 2: and it's a power peptide that can really help enable
44:12
Speaker 2: your cardiovascular response system. Literally, taking it daily is like
44:18
Speaker 2: doing a workout, a daily workout, cardiovascular workout without the workout. Now,
44:23
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting we don't work our bodies out, but
44:26
Speaker 2: if you really want to improve your cardiovascular health and fitness.
44:28
Speaker 2: I take that too. It's a great supplement and it's
44:31
Speaker 2: a peptide. So the folks at Castle Rock can help
44:34
Speaker 2: you out with that. Yeah. The website, it's yellow and
44:38
Speaker 2: green and at the very top there's a little tab
44:40
Speaker 2: it says it should say supplements. If you're not sure
44:43
Speaker 2: and you can't find it, if you text us at
44:45
Speaker 2: nine zero four, three, seven seven one one nine six
44:49
Speaker 2: the numbers at the bottom of the screen, I can
44:52
Speaker 2: guide you right into that website and just send it
44:54
Speaker 2: to you. But great questions. Let's see if I missed one.
45:00
Speaker 2: Do we tell these? Yeah, absolutely tell them, I said,
45:02
Speaker 2: give you a call. A lot of them have been
45:05
Speaker 2: on my show, and if you want to see some
45:08
Speaker 2: of the prior shows I've had Castle Rock on a
45:10
Speaker 2: couple of times, you can go onto iHeart Radio, and
45:13
Speaker 2: on iHeartRadio look up Wellness Uncensored with PATTYG. There's a
45:18
Speaker 2: lot to scroll. There's three years worth of episodes, but
45:20
Speaker 2: if you scroll down to Hormone Health you will find
45:23
Speaker 2: Castle Rock on there as well. I've had two or
45:25
Speaker 2: three episodes with them, and many of them will give
45:28
Speaker 2: you some sort of a discount if you let them
45:31
Speaker 2: know that you heard it through me, because I like
45:34
Speaker 2: to promote folks that really are out there, really working
45:38
Speaker 2: to do their best to help you optimize your health
45:40
Speaker 2: and be healthy. Far too many of you out there
45:43
Speaker 2: don't know how to get better, how to get well
45:46
Speaker 2: without just going to somebody who's going to put you
45:48
Speaker 2: on medication. And yes, I do use medication myself for patients,
45:53
Speaker 2: but it's usually to try to stabilize symptoms, get them
45:56
Speaker 2: on the road to feeling better, and then get them
45:59
Speaker 2: what organic treatment that they need. Transcrering to magnetic therapy.
46:03
Speaker 2: The last question I think I'll take. If we get
46:06
Speaker 2: another one in, I'll take it to But with this
46:08
Speaker 2: treatment help with someone who's having confusion on gender issues.
46:12
Speaker 2: That's such a great topic, and you know, it's such
46:14
Speaker 2: a sensitive one, and I want to try to share
46:16
Speaker 2: something as delicate and maybe as helpful as I can,
46:19
Speaker 2: and I don't want to offend anyone, but it's so
46:23
Speaker 2: hard for someone to understand, you know, those types of feelings,
46:27
Speaker 2: you know, why do we feel the way we do?
46:29
Speaker 2: No judgment, but if there's questions, if there's uncertainty, if
46:33
Speaker 2: you're looking to try to understand what is going on.
46:37
Speaker 2: It would be great to go see someone who can
46:40
Speaker 2: really help you work through those things from a functional psychiatry,
46:44
Speaker 2: that integrative psychiatry experience. You know, it's okay to not
46:49
Speaker 2: feel right and not know, but perhaps there's some reasons why.
46:53
Speaker 2: And a lot of times, you know, in the time
46:55
Speaker 2: that I have to talk with you, sometimes the thoughts
46:58
Speaker 2: can go a couple of different ways. Why are their
47:00
Speaker 2: gender confusion issues? We found a lot of it comes
47:04
Speaker 2: from early childhood exposure to abuse, trauma, sexual abuse, possibly
47:11
Speaker 2: just to Possibly other times it's because organically the way
47:14
Speaker 2: the body is designed there's something lacking. So between looking
47:18
Speaker 2: at labs, looking deep into the history. You know, if
47:22
Speaker 2: it's children, if they're under the age of eighteen, get
47:25
Speaker 2: them into someone who's really objective and you can work
47:27
Speaker 2: through an integrative approach. If you have questions on that,
47:30
Speaker 2: I can hopefully refer you to some people. I've got
47:32
Speaker 2: a couple of connections across the United States. The goal
47:35
Speaker 2: is to help someone feel their best self and again,
47:38
Speaker 2: wherever that may lie, at least if their body is optimized,
47:42
Speaker 2: their hormones are optimized, the way the body heals itself
47:46
Speaker 2: is optimized. You know, we want the best possible person
47:50
Speaker 2: wherever that may fall in their gender decision as an adult.
47:54
Speaker 2: As kids, I think we as adults need to provide
47:56
Speaker 2: good guidance. And that's just where I stand on that
47:59
Speaker 2: as because I'm treating some kids now with similar issues,
48:03
Speaker 2: and in treating them, I've found getting them the right
48:05
Speaker 2: information has allowed them to make better choices. And with
48:09
Speaker 2: those choices, we'll see how it turns out. But at
48:11
Speaker 2: least we're taking the professional approach to help them. Oh well,
48:16
Speaker 2: yes and no. I mean I can talk to people
48:17
Speaker 2: in Florida, but you can also reach out to me
48:19
Speaker 2: and I can refer you nationwide. So please, by all
48:22
Speaker 2: means reach out either text nine oh four three seven
48:26
Speaker 2: seven one one nine six or put your name in
48:29
Speaker 2: under Magnolia the letter b wellness dot com and ask
48:33
Speaker 2: for more information. I can help you to get to
48:34
Speaker 2: the right provider. But today has flown and I appreciate
48:38
Speaker 2: you guys sharing it with me. While I'm here in Nashville, Tennessee.
48:43
Speaker 2: It's always fun to get out there and meet new people,
48:45
Speaker 2: you know. We even had somebody who was on a
48:47
Speaker 2: bus and started talking to us and lets you know
48:50
Speaker 2: what we were doing, and we told them where we were,
48:52
Speaker 2: and I gave him a card because who can't benefit
48:55
Speaker 2: from mental wellness. So you never know where you'll see me,
48:58
Speaker 2: never know where I'll see you, but tune in often.
49:01
Speaker 2: We're here Thursdays three pm Eastern, two pm Central, and
49:05
Speaker 2: you can go on down the line Mountain and Pacific time.
49:09
Speaker 2: But it's a pleasure to be here, and it's actually
49:11
Speaker 2: an honor. I love your questions. Stay well, stay healthy,
49:15
Speaker 2: and listen. Take care of yourself. Your mental health is
49:17
Speaker 2: so important. This is your motherboard. We only get one
49:20
Speaker 2: of them. Take care of your mental wellness. You're going

49:32
Speaker 2: because you too can change. And I hope you guys
49:34
Speaker 2: have a wonderful rest of your day, a great weekend.

Speaker 2: Five
