Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Dr Stephanie Rimke, Welcome to the Heartiness Podcast.
- 0:13Speaker 2: I'm so excited to be here, doctor Paul.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Now, where do we find you?
- 0:17Speaker 2: Where? If I tell you, I am in Florida right now,
- 0:21Speaker 2: but I live in Atlanta. But so that's the State's
- 0:24Speaker 2: the warm parts by the ocean.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Smart move, very smart move. And tell us a little
- 0:32Speaker 1: bit for the listeners. Tell us a little bit about
- 0:34Speaker 1: your background.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Well, I started thirty years ago working in a mental
- 0:40Speaker 2: hospital with schizophrenics, and.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I was Jesus, that's a that's a baptism of that.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Wasn't your first real job, was it?
- 0:49Speaker 2: That was my first real job out of college. Yeah,
- 0:52Speaker 2: And it was a caseworker helping get schizophrenics, deciding and
- 0:58Speaker 2: selecting a game ready to go out into group homes,
- 1:01Speaker 2: ones who could be ready to live in a home
- 1:04Speaker 2: and be in more in the community and not in
- 1:05Speaker 2: the institutionalized setting. For women. It was women only that
- 1:10Speaker 2: I was working with, and it was an incredibly satisfying, rewarding,
- 1:16Speaker 2: and horrifying and frightening experience. At the same time, I
- 1:21Speaker 2: was taking a year off after I graduated to decide
- 1:24Speaker 2: did I really want to commit to the eight years
- 1:26Speaker 2: of medical school because I thought I wanted to be
- 1:29Speaker 2: an orthopedic surgeon, and my teachers in college were kind
- 1:33Speaker 2: of fighting over me that I was a psychology minor
- 1:36Speaker 2: and biology major and physical education sports kinesiology majors. I
- 1:41Speaker 2: had multiple majors Spanish as well, so they were like,
- 1:44Speaker 2: all right, child psychiatrists, orthopedic surgeon, and I needed to
- 1:49Speaker 2: take a minute to kind of figure it out. And
- 1:51Speaker 2: I ended up none of those things because I was
- 1:54Speaker 2: disgusted by the entire western medicine Rockefeller way of doing it.
- 1:59Speaker 2: By reading these case and what the drugs were doing
- 2:01Speaker 2: to these women, plus what seemed like almost organized violence
- 2:07Speaker 2: against people once they were in these state institutions, it
- 2:11Speaker 2: was just very interesting and horrifying and yet inspiring and
- 2:17Speaker 2: exciting and challenging, and I just said, there has got
- 2:21Speaker 2: to be a better way. This cannot be what we
- 2:24Speaker 2: are doing with people. This is unacceptable. This just can't
- 2:29Speaker 2: be it. So I'm going to go figure out where
- 2:32Speaker 2: what is. It took me down a long path of
- 2:35Speaker 2: being trained by an incredible psychiatrist out of Canada, doctor
- 2:39Speaker 2: Abram Hoffer, who worked with Carl Pfeiffer, and they created
- 2:43Speaker 2: orthomolecular psychiatry, ended up board sort of fied, and neural feedback,
- 2:48Speaker 2: so I was a talk therapist, I chiropractor, board certified,
- 2:53Speaker 2: and neural feedback pepside certified. I mean, I've been doing
- 2:57Speaker 2: a lot of things over that time span because my
- 3:00Speaker 2: genre and my niche and my passion became autism, schizophrenia, bipolar,
- 3:07Speaker 2: dissociat of identity PTSD, suicide, ideation, dyslexia, anxiety, basically all
- 3:13Speaker 2: the things that every pediatrician and psychiatrist is absolute shit
- 3:18Speaker 2: at doing is what I like to do because they
- 3:21Speaker 2: don't look at the brain, and all mental health issues
- 3:25Speaker 2: are brain issues, So they don't understand the structure and
- 3:29Speaker 2: function of the brain, and they don't look at it.
- 3:31Speaker 2: They don't test it, and they don't measure it. So
- 3:33Speaker 2: I'm not sure how you can diagnose and prescribe a
- 3:35Speaker 2: powerful drug to treat something you've never looked at or investigated.
- 3:39Speaker 2: But that's just me. So I look at the brain.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I measure it. My primary tools our nineteen channels, Z score,
- 3:46Speaker 2: Loretta brain maps. We do biofeedback and neurofeedback, but I
- 3:50Speaker 2: do a host of other functional urine and blad blood
- 3:55Speaker 2: and sometimes feekle testing that goes along with the orthomolecular psychiatry,
- 4:00Speaker 2: very small niche functional medicine. So I'm looking at trying
- 4:05Speaker 2: to get to the root cause of this and teaching
- 4:06Speaker 2: people brain equals behavior, You are not crazy, What if
- 4:11Speaker 2: you're just zinc deficient, what if you know you're starving
- 4:15Speaker 2: from this, or and trying to explain to them and
- 4:18Speaker 2: every psychologist I've ever had in my office working for me,
- 4:20Speaker 2: and every therapist I've ever worked with, and they are
- 4:22Speaker 2: incredible people and their hearts are there, but they don't
- 4:25Speaker 2: know dopamine from serotonin, from vasopressin, from oxytocin, from clotho
- 4:30Speaker 2: and the kidney. They literally have no idea how the
- 4:33Speaker 2: human body works and where emotions actually come from. And
- 4:38Speaker 2: I don't really understand what talking about it eventually for
- 4:40Speaker 2: most people is going to do.
- 4:42Speaker 3: It's interesting.
- 4:44Speaker 1: I've had a couple of chats with Professor Joan Reid,
- 4:46Speaker 1: who is a researcher in psychology and mostly psychiatry, and
- 4:53Speaker 1: just discussing with him that there is not one of
- 4:58Speaker 1: the DSM category that has a clear consistent biological signature.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Yet we are we are led to believe that these
- 5:08Speaker 1: are biological conditions, right, but not one of them has
- 5:14Speaker 1: this clear signature which which has always kind of.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Markers to them for sure. They just don't know. They
- 5:22Speaker 2: don't accept it, they don't look for it. I mean,
- 5:24Speaker 2: you can't. Psychiatrists as a whole will fight against you
- 5:28Speaker 2: to take a test. They don't think. Their minds can't
- 5:32Speaker 2: wrap around you would ever do blood urine genetic testing,
- 5:37Speaker 2: an MRI, a functional MRI, a qe g. Anything to diagnose.
- 5:41Speaker 2: They're so entrained there's no such tests, so it doesn't
- 5:45Speaker 2: surprise me they don't have that. But I can show
- 5:49Speaker 2: you spec scans, which are not my favorite, but nineteen
- 5:52Speaker 2: channel a spec scan anything. And I can show you
- 5:54Speaker 2: thirteen subtypes of ADHD. It is a real biological issue,
- 5:58Speaker 2: and I can show you the differences, and you have
- 5:59Speaker 2: to treat them all different, and adderall and riddlin are
- 6:02Speaker 2: not any of the solutions. But there are real things.
- 6:06Speaker 1: You're saying that there are some signatures if you do
- 6:10Speaker 1: If you're saying that, if you do do the right
- 6:13Speaker 1: assessment or use the right two that there are some
- 6:17Speaker 1: clear signatures that are starting to show up.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Absolutely, And there's a hundred other neurological conditions that look like, say,
- 6:26Speaker 2: attention deficit. You have to differentiate. I've had people walk
- 6:29Speaker 2: in with that diagnosis from a psychiatrist on medications, and
- 6:34Speaker 2: it's actually an undiagnosed seizure disorder. I caught the seizures.
- 6:38Speaker 2: It's actually severe anxiety panic. It's associative identity multipersonality disorder,
- 6:44Speaker 2: it's auditory processing disorder. I mean, we test it, but
- 6:47Speaker 2: like that's the issue. You don't have anything in your
- 6:50Speaker 2: brain showing under arousal too much later alpha brainwaves in
- 6:53Speaker 2: their prefuncal cortex. You don't have this. Sometimes it's a
- 6:56Speaker 2: zinc deficiency. When's the last time you guys measure their zinc.
- 7:00Speaker 2: That is the most important mineral in my mind in
- 7:04Speaker 2: brain chemistry ever is zinc. I test it all the time,
- 7:08Speaker 2: and eight times out of ten, if I get zinc right,
- 7:11Speaker 2: everything else fixes itself.
- 7:13Speaker 3: So talk us through what zinc then does in the brain.
- 7:16Speaker 1: And let's just take a let's just take a couple
- 7:18Speaker 1: of things in what do you talk about automolecular psychiatry.
- 7:22Speaker 1: So let's first of all hold in on zinc. So
- 7:26Speaker 1: talk us through, or talk our listeners through the role
- 7:29Speaker 1: of zinc in the bringing slash nervous system is a ry.
- 7:33Speaker 2: It's so many that I'm not going to be able
- 7:35Speaker 2: to do it justice. That's why I have charts, and
- 7:37Speaker 2: I give everybody charts because it's like it's overwhelming. It's
- 7:40Speaker 2: kind of saying, what does growth hormone? Do? You have?
- 7:42Speaker 2: Five hours? Right? Simply always remembering everything in nature and
- 7:48Speaker 2: we are, you know, the micro of the macro. Everything
- 7:53Speaker 2: has a coupled system and nothing is working alone and independently. Right.
- 7:56Speaker 2: We inhale, we exhale their sun. There's the moon, there's
- 7:59Speaker 2: night day, there's male female. We have a couple system
- 8:03Speaker 2: to say. So Zinc and copper must be talked about
- 8:07Speaker 2: at the same time, right, just like the thyroid and
- 8:09Speaker 2: the adrenal must be talked about at the same time.
- 8:11Speaker 2: You can't do one without affecting the other. So gas, brake,
- 8:16Speaker 2: pedal are always going to have to be talked about.
- 8:17Speaker 2: So Zinc and copper have a beautiful relationship, just like
- 8:20Speaker 2: you know, sodium potassium, calcium magnesium. People hurt, Oh cal
- 8:25Speaker 2: meg is a supplement. Oh yeah, sodium potassium pump. You've
- 8:28Speaker 2: heard these things from sixth grade biology or something. When
- 8:31Speaker 2: you're learning about a cell. Right, so zinc though, is
- 8:36Speaker 2: so critical. The brain is this incredible organ I consider
- 8:41Speaker 2: the spinal cord brain tissue. I don't consider it very separate.
- 8:45Speaker 2: That's why the brain, the spotal corn earned housed by
- 8:49Speaker 2: you know, bone, because they're so so important. But we
- 8:52Speaker 2: have this blood brain barrier, right, So if the listeners
- 8:54Speaker 2: don't know, you're supposed to not have things get into
- 8:59Speaker 2: the brain and get out. They're not supposed to be there.
- 9:01Speaker 2: It's a very It's a closed system that does communicate
- 9:05Speaker 2: and overrides and controls everything. But the fact that it's
- 9:07Speaker 2: closed is unique. So there's only like twelve thirteen things
- 9:12Speaker 2: ish that really matter for the brain. Like, if we
- 9:15Speaker 2: can control those things, it's not eight hundred things. I
- 9:18Speaker 2: don't need to know every micro nutrient in your big
- 9:22Speaker 2: toe to know how to stabilize a brain. So I
- 9:25Speaker 2: think some people want to overtest things that make a
- 9:28Speaker 2: test look fancy, to make a patient pay three thousand
- 9:31Speaker 2: dollars for it, And I'm like, that's nobody cares that.
- 9:34Speaker 2: That is not where your anxiety is coming from. It's this, right,
- 9:38Speaker 2: let's get back to sometimes basics. I think people get
- 9:40Speaker 2: too fancy. So Zinc is required directly in the converted
- 9:46Speaker 2: to make dopamine and zinc and copper work together. It's
- 9:50Speaker 2: required to make testosterone. It's required to indirectly then serotonin
- 9:56Speaker 2: acetoclon gab up. So all these incredible neurotransmitter neuropeptides that
- 10:02Speaker 2: are closed system inside the brain. And I love when
- 10:05Speaker 2: people talk about, oh, you know, ninety percent of your
- 10:08Speaker 2: neuro transmitters are made in your gut. That's great. None
- 10:10Speaker 2: of those NeuroD transmitters go inside your brain, though there's
- 10:13Speaker 2: a strong communication signal, but that's not what's happening inside here.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Seratonin that's floating around in your gut, in your blood
- 10:21Speaker 2: does not go inside your brain. You have to make it.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Dopamine is a molecule of you and I I'm sure
- 10:28Speaker 2: have a tremendous amount of it. We're highly dopaminergic type people.
- 10:32Speaker 2: So dopamine is a molecule of more makes you curious,
- 10:37Speaker 2: it makes you. People mistakenly call it a feel good chemical.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Yeah it's not true.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Yeah it's inappropriate. You know, it does feel good, but
- 10:45Speaker 2: it has an addictive quality. You can absolutely get addicted
- 10:49Speaker 2: to dopamine as where seratonin is true presence and happiness
- 10:54Speaker 2: and satisfaction. A dopaminergic person like myself is technic usually
- 11:01Speaker 2: not real satisfied with anything. I'm like, that's not good enough,
- 11:05Speaker 2: and we want more. I can get better, I can
- 11:06Speaker 2: do it again. Well that's okay, just like I was
- 11:09Speaker 2: in the hospital with the schizophrenics. This cannot be what
- 11:12Speaker 2: we're doing. And so the dope and nergic nature of me,
- 11:17Speaker 2: that's the receptor I'm driven towards. So I have to
- 11:20Speaker 2: make sure i have a lot of zinc in my
- 11:22Speaker 2: system because I'm driven in this way, hardwired that I'm
- 11:26Speaker 2: gonna search for it. We're gonna find it. This is unacceptable.
- 11:29Speaker 2: The status quo is not good. That's what dope. So
- 11:32Speaker 2: it makes you curious, you want to learn things, you
- 11:34Speaker 2: want to You're excited.
- 11:35Speaker 4: It's not well, yes, and different than cortisol, right, which
- 11:42Speaker 4: is at tension grabbing, and then the dopamine keeps you
- 11:45Speaker 4: then engaged, like oh, so when you fall in love
- 11:47Speaker 4: with somebody, right.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Cortisol spikes damn, she looks good. You know, you're like,
- 11:52Speaker 2: whoa this cortisol first, and then dopamine. She opens her
- 11:55Speaker 2: mouth and says something interesting, and you're like, oh, okay,
- 11:59Speaker 2: and now you want more, more and more, and you're
- 12:01Speaker 2: you're more drawn in, and people can get very addicted.
- 12:04Speaker 2: That's food, you know, sugar, alcohol, drugs, porn, gambling, dopamine.
- 12:11Speaker 1: They you'll find that people will bounce from one thing
- 12:15Speaker 1: to the other. Right, they're sort of they're gambling, but
- 12:17Speaker 1: they're not really into their exercise or something like that.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's an addictive hit and it's not kind
- 12:25Speaker 2: of a stable way. It's often people who are zinc
- 12:27Speaker 2: deficient are not making enough dopamine, so they're constantly craving
- 12:33Speaker 2: something that has a high threshold for a spike, something
- 12:37Speaker 2: that can override, which drugs, porn, scrolling, TikTok, video games,
- 12:44Speaker 2: the screens, you know, having affairs, changing jobs, all of
- 12:50Speaker 2: those things give exciting bursts of dopamine, and those are
- 12:56Speaker 2: usually highly zinc deficient people who end up looking they're
- 13:01Speaker 2: starving for the enough of that, you know. Sex orgasms
- 13:06Speaker 2: releases a bunch of it too. So often when people
- 13:08Speaker 2: think they fall out of love with someone, it's like
- 13:11Speaker 2: the dopamine has stabilized and the serotonin is supposed to rise,
- 13:15Speaker 2: and if they have a problem doing that, they want
- 13:18Speaker 2: to break up and find the next new person, and
- 13:20Speaker 2: they don't know how to find satisfaction where they are,
- 13:22Speaker 2: so dopamine just from that. So zinc is super critical.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Ninety six percent of everybody in this is America Western
- 13:31Speaker 2: you know, the data we have is on about two
- 13:33Speaker 2: hundred thousand people, ninety six percent of them of anybody
- 13:40Speaker 2: with an ADHD diagnosis is zinc to deplete it.
- 13:44Speaker 1: You actually just answered my next question because the as
- 13:47Speaker 1: you were talking throughund going that sounds like an ADHD
- 13:51Speaker 1: brand correct discussing right.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Correct, right, So let me just bring in the copper right.
- 13:57Speaker 2: So typically how these things are working in pairs in
- 13:59Speaker 2: the body, as zinc goes down and gets depleted and
- 14:04Speaker 2: happens very commonly, like it's gonna almost always going to
- 14:07Speaker 2: happen in a vegetarian. And we have to remember men
- 14:11Speaker 2: and women. So zinc is super high in bioavailable and
- 14:16Speaker 2: red meat, oysters, animal products. But oysters are one of
- 14:20Speaker 2: the best. That's why, that's why they have the aphrodisiac
- 14:27Speaker 2: moniker around them because they're super high in zinc, and
- 14:30Speaker 2: that helps men make testosterone and sperm because men need
- 14:34Speaker 2: nine times the amount of zinc than women do because
- 14:36Speaker 2: of how much testosterone and sperm. It's often why men
- 14:41Speaker 2: prefer they crave, you know, they want beer and nuts,
- 14:44Speaker 2: they want salty things, and women are gonna want a
- 14:47Speaker 2: sweet thing. We don't need because salty foods we're gonna have.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Minerals are gonna have more zinc, and the sweet foods
- 14:53Speaker 2: for us are gonna have a little different So we're
- 14:55Speaker 2: looking for different hormones to be released for us. We
- 14:58Speaker 2: need that for making for usterone or something. Right, So
- 15:02Speaker 2: as zinc goes down, your copper's going to go up,
- 15:05Speaker 2: and copper is incredible. We need copper to convert the
- 15:08Speaker 2: dopamine over to nora epinephrine, and we need things, you know,
- 15:12Speaker 2: cofactors for things to do. But typically if the zinc
- 15:15Speaker 2: goes down, the copper is going to be too high
- 15:17Speaker 2: and then you're going to convert dopamine to nor epinephrine
- 15:20Speaker 2: way too fast, so the dopamine doesn't have time to
- 15:24Speaker 2: give you that satisfaction of I did something and sustaining
- 15:29Speaker 2: and waiting to accomplish a goal of patients for what
- 15:32Speaker 2: it takes. That's dopamine gets released when you finally make
- 15:36Speaker 2: a do something and it's a healthy way, right, saving
- 15:40Speaker 2: up your allowance for weeks or months to buy a toy,
- 15:44Speaker 2: or saving for years to buy your first car. That
- 15:47Speaker 2: was a very normal way of functioning for you, and
- 15:50Speaker 2: I probably you know, I'm in my fifties. This is
- 15:53Speaker 2: very much how it was done. You had to wait
- 15:55Speaker 2: every week for a TV show. It couldn't winge watch
- 15:59Speaker 2: any thing, and you might have to wait three months
- 16:02Speaker 2: for the whole new season to come out. That's not
- 16:04Speaker 2: everything is on demand now. There was no on demand.
- 16:08Speaker 2: It was get outside you wait until later. We're not
- 16:11Speaker 2: doing it, and you had to be bored and pick
- 16:14Speaker 2: up rocks and make up a game. I mean, that's
- 16:16Speaker 2: what we did. That is not what people today are
- 16:20Speaker 2: used to. They're used to Amazon Prime shipping, be hearing.
- 16:23Speaker 2: They can get out one hour delivery. They don't have
- 16:25Speaker 2: to wait a few days. They can watch any show
- 16:28Speaker 2: at any time. Everything's very instantaneous. So dopamine circuits are
- 16:33Speaker 2: not being developed the same people are not learning to wait.
- 16:37Speaker 2: So plus, the diets are getting they're moving very strongly
- 16:40Speaker 2: towards plant based and a lot of things that are
- 16:43Speaker 2: no zinc in the dietuts are more damage. They're not
- 16:46Speaker 2: making stomach acid, they're not making bile. They're not making
- 16:49Speaker 2: pancreatic enzyme, so when they do eat something good, they
- 16:52Speaker 2: can't extract the nutrients. There's a lot of reasons, so
- 16:55Speaker 2: the copper ends up going up. I'll get back to that.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Now we're even the little bit of dopamine making. But
- 17:01Speaker 2: we're trying to be able to pay attention and sustain
- 17:03Speaker 2: ourselves and be curious about something. We convert too fast
- 17:07Speaker 2: and ora pronephron that's nora adrenaline. So now we're amped.
- 17:10Speaker 2: We get amped up and anxious a whole lot easier.
- 17:14Speaker 2: So not only can we not pay attention, we don't
- 17:16Speaker 2: feel good, we don't have a good feeling from that,
- 17:18Speaker 2: we're anxious on top of it now, so copper toxicity
- 17:21Speaker 2: freak too much. Free copper converts not People are walking
- 17:25Speaker 2: around with no adrenaline all the time, so they're very active.
- 17:28Speaker 1: So it's it's definitely just to jump in when people
- 17:31Speaker 1: have high nor adrenaline or I often describe anxiety is
- 17:38Speaker 1: just basically unregulated amounts of adrenaline.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Nor adrenaline coursing through the body. Right, It is.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Definitely one reason correct the cortisol adrenaline are always there,
- 17:49Speaker 2: so you're real hot you're real ready to go. Whether
- 17:52Speaker 2: that looks like panic or looks like aggression. Men and
- 17:55Speaker 2: women express anxiety. Boys get missing interpreted is having like
- 18:01Speaker 2: an anger management problem when they're when they're anxious, and
- 18:04Speaker 2: they don't get sympathy the way a girl does. Unfortunately
- 18:07Speaker 2: in society. You know, little girls here anyway, they can
- 18:10Speaker 2: cry and oh she's shy, she's scared, and they'll get
- 18:14Speaker 2: some energy. Boys usually will start will be reactive, they're
- 18:18Speaker 2: still anxious. I can measure their brain. I can tell you,
- 18:20Speaker 2: show you exactly what it is. He's not a bad boy,
- 18:23Speaker 2: he's not violent. He's panicked, and a boy is not
- 18:27Speaker 2: going to express it like a girl. And unfortunately, there's
- 18:30Speaker 2: no tolerance for that in schools, and they're getting into
- 18:33Speaker 2: a lot of trouble unnecessarily and they're not getting treated properly.
- 18:36Speaker 3: It's interesting.
- 18:38Speaker 1: I remember talking to doctor Stuart Schanker in Canada who
- 18:43Speaker 1: works with a lot of troubled children, and he says
- 18:45Speaker 1: a lot of these bad behaviors that people describe, he says,
- 18:49Speaker 1: it's stress behavior. Yeah, that's that's what's driving it. Is
- 18:54Speaker 1: distress and they don't know how to handle.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Yeah, their brains are inflamed. I'm gonna say that right now.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Brain on fire. We say the term when we read maps,
- 19:04Speaker 2: Brain's on fire. You can see it. It's all red.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Beta waves are through the roof. They're surging way too
- 19:11Speaker 2: much adrenaline. It's you can see it. It's inflammation. And
- 19:15Speaker 2: where's it coming from. I mean, oftentimes it's mold illness
- 19:19Speaker 2: in these children, it's chronic lack of sleep. The kids
- 19:24Speaker 2: at this point, sometimes with these expensive prep schools. Here
- 19:27Speaker 2: the way it's done. They're sleeping. I see ten year
- 19:30Speaker 2: olds that are sleeping six hours, seven hours a night. Yes,
- 19:34Speaker 2: and the parents are bringing them to me for attention deficit,
- 19:37Speaker 2: to do neual feedback, and I'm like, they don't have that.
- 19:41Speaker 2: She's tired. This is sleep deprivation, hours of homework a day.
- 19:49Speaker 1: And it really interesting because I interviewed I think it
- 19:51Speaker 1: was doctor Martin Elms. He's done a whole heap of
- 19:56Speaker 1: research and looking at it and bring neuropsychiatry. And he
- 20:02Speaker 1: said that if somebody has five days of sleep deprivation,
- 20:07Speaker 1: that will look like an ADHD Brian.
- 20:09Speaker 3: All over the place.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you throw in then you throw in
- 20:13Speaker 1: Stephanie Ultra processed foods which are known to increase anxiety
- 20:17Speaker 1: and mental health disorders by fifty Yeah, and lack of
- 20:23Speaker 1: physical activity for that in sleep, How the hell are
- 20:28Speaker 1: you supposed to have a briand especially a developing brand
- 20:31Speaker 1: that's really hungry for nutrients and you've got a diet
- 20:35Speaker 1: that's high in ultraprocessed food and things that that that
- 20:40Speaker 1: drive dysfunction in the gut that then affects the Brian
- 20:43Speaker 1: and they're getting they're having nutrient deficiency at the same
- 20:46Speaker 1: time and sleep deficiency and then a lack of exercise
- 20:51Speaker 1: means a lack.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Of a whole heap of neurotransmitters. How are they supposed
- 20:55Speaker 3: to have a normal Brian?
- 20:57Speaker 2: Right? They don't and you can correct it, but trying
- 21:00Speaker 2: to even I mean, we get into it. There's so
- 21:03Speaker 2: many reasons for this, and again that's as simple as
- 21:07Speaker 2: so like I don't know if you've ever talked with
- 21:09Speaker 2: people about the palette and what the palette is even
- 21:12Speaker 2: doing for a child in their development. So we don't
- 21:15Speaker 2: think about it. But like if so Westerday Price have
- 21:17Speaker 2: you gone into in the dentist right, so Westerday Price,
- 21:20Speaker 2: the greatest you know book that we have on nutrition
- 21:27Speaker 2: and what he did, This dnist traveling around looking at
- 21:29Speaker 2: the jaws and the teeth, and everybody had really wide jaws,
- 21:32Speaker 2: perfect teeth, no crooked, no crowding, nobody needs braces. And
- 21:38Speaker 2: just in the generations. It took one generation where the
- 21:41Speaker 2: western white food, white flour, white sugar was introduced to them,
- 21:47Speaker 2: jaws radically narrowed and teeth got crowded, and their babies
- 21:51Speaker 2: if they were eating this what you know. The missionaries
- 21:55Speaker 2: were bringing white rice and white sugar. Radical change in
- 21:59Speaker 2: jaw structure, which changes the airways. So what is the
- 22:02Speaker 2: palette the hot The hot palette is the floor of
- 22:08Speaker 2: the brain, so it's supposed to be the tongue is
- 22:12Speaker 2: supposed to be able to fit up very comfortably in
- 22:15Speaker 2: the roof of the mouth, and that pressure puts a
- 22:19Speaker 2: lot of sensory information to tell the vagus nerve in
- 22:23Speaker 2: the entire system, I'm safe. The airway is open, very
- 22:27Speaker 2: very wide air is coming in, so the brainstem is
- 22:31Speaker 2: not getting a choke off panic signal. The head ends
- 22:36Speaker 2: up sitting back over. It literally changes all of the
- 22:39Speaker 2: posture where the tongue sits. And think of it. So
- 22:44Speaker 2: if it's supposed to looked like that, but the roof
- 22:46Speaker 2: of the mouth is like this. It's like jamming up
- 22:49Speaker 2: into the pituitary gland and crowding the brain space, and
- 22:54Speaker 2: the tongue can't reach there, can't actually be hitting enough.
- 22:58Speaker 2: The pressure of the tongue pushing on the bone hits
- 23:02Speaker 2: all the sensory nerves in the veiggess nerve to say
- 23:07Speaker 2: work good, and it changes the position and change the airway.
- 23:11Speaker 2: So we run CT scans as well to look at
- 23:14Speaker 2: the all the dental work and look at the airway.
- 23:17Speaker 2: And there are many children walking around mouth breathing all
- 23:21Speaker 2: night long and often during the day because they and
- 23:24Speaker 2: their necks. They start changing their posture because they're trying
- 23:28Speaker 2: to open the airway. And so if that airway is
- 23:32Speaker 2: supposed to be fourteen millimeters in theirs is four to
- 23:34Speaker 2: five millimeters. Instead. The brain stem is always feeling someone
- 23:40Speaker 2: is choking me. I'm about to die. You will never
- 23:44Speaker 2: It is designed to override the prefuncal cortex because if
- 23:47Speaker 2: I'm about to be in a fight and you've got
- 23:49Speaker 2: me by the neck, I'm not going to do math.
- 23:51Speaker 2: I'm not going to listen to a teacher. I'm in
- 23:53Speaker 2: a life or death situation, and that's what the brain thinks.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Many children, because of the high palette, because their mother
- 23:59Speaker 2: and their grandma mother, you're eating high sugar, high glycemic,
- 24:03Speaker 2: high processed food diets and their blood sugar, they're diabetic.
- 24:06Speaker 2: I mean, in America, it's ninety three percent of people
- 24:09Speaker 2: here are metabolically unwell. I'm in the seven percent of adults.
- 24:15Speaker 2: I got a four point eight a one c an
- 24:17Speaker 2: insulin of two point five. That's not normal here, That's
- 24:22Speaker 2: not common. Okay, most people are metabolically deranged. They can't
- 24:27Speaker 2: handle glucose, key tone, fatty acids, they can't metabolize right.
- 24:30Speaker 2: They're not breathing right. And so these children are being
- 24:35Speaker 2: born with very narrow jaws, crowded teeth, but it's in
- 24:38Speaker 2: a palette that's jamming up. The tongue cannot reach, so
- 24:41Speaker 2: they're never getting the normal soothing signal of parasympathetic vagel
- 24:47Speaker 2: tone simulation. We're good, and the airways never open. I
- 24:51Speaker 2: don't care what you do. What That child can't use
- 24:55Speaker 2: some type of skill unless we opened the airways. So
- 24:58Speaker 2: we use applying and says to widen their jaw to
- 25:03Speaker 2: physically change the structure so they can position themselves differently
- 25:07Speaker 2: and open the airway. But why aren't pediatricians and psychiatrists
- 25:11Speaker 2: evaluating this? Why aren't they measuring it? Why aren't they
- 25:14Speaker 2: doing the blood tests? Why aren't they doing brain maps?
- 25:17Speaker 2: You can clearly go it's ADHD, it's anxiety, it's none
- 25:20Speaker 2: of those. It's a concussion. Did your kid ever hit ahead?
- 25:22Speaker 2: It looks like they hit back and forth. Oh yeah,
- 25:25Speaker 2: well we have post concustom syndrome. I can see it.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Here's the good news. We can fix all of it
- 25:30Speaker 2: because of something called neuroplasticity, and we can just reverse
- 25:34Speaker 2: it all.
- 25:35Speaker 5: That's the beauty of this, none of the Let's talk
- 25:38Speaker 5: about what interventions. But before we do that, let's talk
- 25:43Speaker 5: about the nervous system in general.
- 25:45Speaker 3: So you mentioned a bit of eagle tone.
- 25:47Speaker 1: You've hinted at at least the sympathetic nervous system.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Let's talk about nervous system regulation in general, and then.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Let's get into things that we can kind of do
- 26:01Speaker 1: about it. Why is the nervous system, I mean, it's
- 26:05Speaker 1: a pretty obvious question, but that the it's important in
- 26:08Speaker 1: behavior and the over stimulation and understimulation of the nervous system,
- 26:15Speaker 1: let's explode.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Okay, Well, in general, we've made up these divisions so
- 26:23Speaker 2: our human brains can kind of understand and categorize because
- 26:27Speaker 2: we need to separate things. Not obviously none of it's
- 26:29Speaker 2: really separate, but uh, you know, we're a really old
- 26:33Speaker 2: biological animal and we're living in the biology of us.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Anatomy physiology has hasn't changed at all, but our environment
- 26:42Speaker 2: has radically changed. So our relationship with the environment, right
- 26:46Speaker 2: living in houses, TVs that you know, like wearing clothes
- 26:51Speaker 2: like all of.
- 26:51Speaker 3: It's very neutral environment.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Yeah, like there's just a huge difference of the but
- 26:56Speaker 2: the anatomy physiology isn't the same. But the further we
- 26:59Speaker 2: get away from living that way, the larger these excursions
- 27:03Speaker 2: show up in nervous systems. So I just want people
- 27:05Speaker 2: to understand, if you're out with indigenous tribes who don't
- 27:10Speaker 2: have technological interventions and don't have some of the social
- 27:13Speaker 2: constructs that we have, and don't have access to the
- 27:17Speaker 2: addiction to comfort that we've basically created, they don't have
- 27:21Speaker 2: these problems. I'm gonna mention, I'm just going to point
- 27:24Speaker 2: that out. Okay, So, the normal state for the human
- 27:28Speaker 2: body is to be overwhelmingly dominant parasympathetic. That is the rest,
- 27:35Speaker 2: digest neutral aliveness. It's alive, it's repair, it's not flat
- 27:42Speaker 2: and empty. I think sometimes people think it means sleep.
- 27:46Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it is joyful, it is present, it's
- 27:51Speaker 2: it's relaxed and ready to go. Okay. The sympathetic activity
- 27:59Speaker 2: is supposed to be basically a very short lived thing
- 28:03Speaker 2: you might not really get to do every day. Some
- 28:05Speaker 2: people might go hunt out every day, but everybody's doing
- 28:08Speaker 2: that all the time. It's the fight, flight, freeze, fawn response.
- 28:14Speaker 2: So you know, in modern day language, I'm a woman,
- 28:19Speaker 2: pretty much, what do I need fight or flight for?
- 28:24Speaker 2: I'm running away from a dog or some man going
- 28:29Speaker 2: to hurt me. I'm either going to get away, and
- 28:32Speaker 2: it's going to take me what thirty to ninety seconds
- 28:35Speaker 2: to figure that. I should go as hard as I
- 28:38Speaker 2: can to the point I might vomit. I'm so explosive
- 28:44Speaker 2: in that energy, so intense and physical output to get
- 28:48Speaker 2: away from a life or death. If a man grabs me,
- 28:52Speaker 2: now I have to fight again. I've only got so
- 28:55Speaker 2: much time. Okay, I'm either going to get away. I'm
- 28:59Speaker 2: going to win the fight, or I'm going to die.
- 29:02Speaker 2: That's what the simple that's the only reason the sympathetic
- 29:05Speaker 2: nervous system should really be activated some quick emergency situation
- 29:09Speaker 2: where you must respond physically physically, not be still typically,
- 29:16Speaker 2: and if you are still, something's going to happen to
- 29:19Speaker 2: you really quick, and it's going to be over pretty quickly. Right,
- 29:21Speaker 2: It's not designed to go on for even several minutes,
- 29:26Speaker 2: I mean much less hours, much less days or months.
- 29:30Speaker 2: So in those short verse when we get away, it's
- 29:35Speaker 2: always it's been proven in nature, we strongly adapt and
- 29:40Speaker 2: become much more resilient. Our immune system gets better, everything
- 29:44Speaker 2: about us gets better. If we get away or when
- 29:48Speaker 2: that fight or whatever happens and we make it okay,
- 29:51Speaker 2: everything is better about it. It's true for every mammal.
- 29:54Speaker 2: So the gazelle that gets taken down by the lion
- 29:56Speaker 2: and then escapes is stronger for it. When they recover,
- 30:00Speaker 2: everything about them is better. We're the same, However, we're
- 30:05Speaker 2: having life and death physical unconscious responses because of our
- 30:11Speaker 2: interpretation in modern life of something life or death traffic.
- 30:19Speaker 2: I mean, what a show it can be, right, I mean,
- 30:23Speaker 2: you know, people's blood pressures going up cortisols, but you
- 30:26Speaker 2: can watch people get red, you can watch shiting.
- 30:29Speaker 1: You're not moving, Stephanie, right, is like the distress that's
- 30:34Speaker 1: coming in the psychological straction.
- 30:35Speaker 2: We're not just charge it. Yeah, the body it wants
- 30:40Speaker 2: to run or punch. I mean, it's like that's what
- 30:43Speaker 2: it's built to do. You get it. I mean we
- 30:46Speaker 2: all know the stories, these famous stories of the mother
- 30:51Speaker 2: who lifted a car off her children after an accident,
- 30:56Speaker 2: some extraordinary feat. She'd never why could you do that?
- 30:59Speaker 2: Because of the stress chemicals surging through her body that
- 31:02Speaker 2: made her extraort. Let me tell you, there's nobody stronger
- 31:05Speaker 2: than a schizophrenic who's scared. I have never seen the physicality.
- 31:10Speaker 2: It's a very scary. I've seen sixty year old ladies
- 31:14Speaker 2: take down three six foot five men, I mean destroy them.
- 31:18Speaker 2: It's almost like it's superhuman. What can happen in a
- 31:22Speaker 2: fear panic state to a person. It can make you
- 31:25Speaker 2: extraordinarily successful to get away from a situation, which is fantastic.
- 31:30Speaker 2: But sitting trapped in a car or at a dinner table,
- 31:34Speaker 2: and you know your husband's having an affair, and you
- 31:37Speaker 2: have a child with autism, and you know your mother's
- 31:39Speaker 2: has all time that's a very stressful place for a
- 31:41Speaker 2: woman to be. So what is she doing eating cake
- 31:44Speaker 2: and drinking wine because she's like, I don't know what
- 31:46Speaker 2: else to do right now, that's what she's got to
- 31:48Speaker 2: try to manage this. So let me say, so we
- 31:51Speaker 2: should be rest, digest neutral. We're all amped up, and
- 31:55Speaker 2: the chemicals that are there that are good. I don't
- 31:57Speaker 2: think there's a single thing the body makes that's bad.
- 32:00Speaker 2: But at too long, in the wrong inappropriate time and
- 32:04Speaker 2: for too long, they start destroying the body. They have
- 32:07Speaker 2: catabolic breakdown properties and it's very draining, intopleting, and so
- 32:13Speaker 2: the system, you know, we wanted. Most people are spiking
- 32:16Speaker 2: up in activation throughout the day and they never coming
- 32:19Speaker 2: back down to neutral. So if neutral is zero in
- 32:24Speaker 2: pure panic, running is ten. They might be walking around
- 32:28Speaker 2: at a five or four all the time. So shooting
- 32:32Speaker 2: up to eight, nine or ten is very easy for
- 32:34Speaker 2: the nervous system to do. So, right, so just to
- 32:37Speaker 2: give me that, that's the general gist of my job
- 32:40Speaker 2: is to teach them how to shift you into para
- 32:42Speaker 2: sympathetic over and over and over again at will, so
- 32:46Speaker 2: this becomes your new normal, which can be hard because
- 32:49Speaker 2: they're addicted to that. Those chemicals are highly addictive as well,
- 32:53Speaker 2: and so that to them, they think is what they're
- 32:55Speaker 2: how they're supposed to be. So to feel calm for
- 32:58Speaker 2: many people is actually very comfortable, but that's part of
- 33:01Speaker 2: the process of taking time to do it, so it's
- 33:03Speaker 2: not as quick as it sounds. Nice. But some people
- 33:06Speaker 2: don't know what it's hard to they're addicted to the chaos, right, and.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Some people Stephanie are well, a lot of people will
- 33:15Speaker 1: come home, let's make this practical. They'll come home from
- 33:18Speaker 1: a stressful day where they're disregulated in terms of their
- 33:22Speaker 1: nervous system, and they think, Jesus, that's been a hard
- 33:26Speaker 1: day and they want to recover. But they're actually relaxing,
- 33:31Speaker 1: not recovering. And I say to people, sitting in front
- 33:34Speaker 1: of the television with your feet up with a bottle
- 33:36Speaker 1: of iron and ship food, watching Netflix with your partner
- 33:40Speaker 1: is relaxation.
- 33:41Speaker 3: It's not recovery.
- 33:43Speaker 1: And I'm not saying there's no role lever for relaxation,
- 33:46Speaker 1: but do not kid yourself that you're recovering, because you're
- 33:49Speaker 1: stimulating your sympathetic nervous system even more, even low level.
- 33:53Speaker 2: That's what they need to understand when I explain that
- 33:55Speaker 2: to people, because I'm as incredibly anti media, anti TV person,
- 33:59Speaker 2: haven't own one for thirty five years. My son never
- 34:01Speaker 2: see a show till he was twelve. I went and
- 34:04Speaker 2: those a school Waldorf has no computers, no technology, none
- 34:07Speaker 2: of it. And like, because it's not the content, it's
- 34:13Speaker 2: the actual medium itself. And the way the lights are
- 34:16Speaker 2: flickering on the screen that are exactly the same as
- 34:20Speaker 2: how we are hardwired visually to see flickering lights in
- 34:24Speaker 2: the forest and the grass, like, because that means there's
- 34:27Speaker 2: somebody coming. So the way a screen, I don't care
- 34:32Speaker 2: if it's a child's cartoon or you think it's an
- 34:34Speaker 2: educational documentary, it is putting your brain in fight or flight.
- 34:40Speaker 2: And so that's why it feels. And what happens is
- 34:43Speaker 2: that much stimulation the system goes. This is what happens
- 34:47Speaker 2: with the biology of trauma. When you're in state two anxiety.
- 34:52Speaker 2: You can only this is where your work around heartiness
- 34:55Speaker 2: comes in. And I don't use that term, and I
- 34:56Speaker 2: don't use that. I talk about overwhelming the nervous system,
- 35:00Speaker 2: which is really the breaking point of the mitochondria. It
- 35:04Speaker 2: says I'm done. I can't sustain this any longer, and
- 35:08Speaker 2: we have collapse. So we have some breakpoint some people's
- 35:12Speaker 2: The heartiness does determine where your breakpoint is. How what's
- 35:15Speaker 2: the endurance of how long you can go right? And
- 35:18Speaker 2: your fitness level, your mental fitness, your physical fitness has
- 35:21Speaker 2: many reasons that develop mental age determines this. Right, there's
- 35:26Speaker 2: a breaking point. So what happens though, when we leave
- 35:28Speaker 2: acute stress anxiety, the body has to there's a parasympathetic overtake.
- 35:36Speaker 2: There's an override. It says, I'm gonna I'm gonna shut
- 35:39Speaker 2: this down. I cannot handle it. So the dorsal vagel
- 35:45Speaker 2: part of the vegas arvitation here, I think, takes over.
- 35:50Speaker 2: We've already had some danger response. We've already everything's breaking apart.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Calcium shells develop and we we've got all kinds of
- 35:55Speaker 2: problems up here. You know, osteoporosis is setting in. You're
- 35:58Speaker 2: not doing great, but the system says, I can't handle
- 36:02Speaker 2: it even watching the movie. So this is why it
- 36:05Speaker 2: feels relaxing, because it's what it's doing is it's helping
- 36:09Speaker 2: you dissociate, which is actually a state three trauma response.
- 36:15Speaker 2: They're using dissociation and confusing that with relaxation. That is
- 36:21Speaker 2: not the same thing. You know, so, and every show
- 36:26Speaker 2: does it. Every screen, if they're watching anything, it's doing
- 36:31Speaker 2: the same response. It's why I don't I don't allow
- 36:33Speaker 2: any children are coming to me for care. There is
- 36:36Speaker 2: not a screen allowed Monday through Friday. I'm like, nope.
- 36:39Speaker 2: If you're doing nerfit is you assign a contract with me,
- 36:42Speaker 2: There'll be none of this because I will not have
- 36:44Speaker 2: what we're doing be reversed by what you That screen.
- 36:49Speaker 2: Twenty thirty minutes of a TV screen on a child's
- 36:51Speaker 2: brain literally will override everything they've learned all day in school.
- 36:55Speaker 2: They need time to develop their own images, their own
- 36:58Speaker 2: pictures to turn that information long term memory. What screens
- 37:02Speaker 2: can do and how powerful we've made images now and complicated,
- 37:07Speaker 2: they have no chance of If they're watching Avatar is
- 37:12Speaker 2: the book they read? Are they going to be able
- 37:14Speaker 2: to create the images that are ever going to override
- 37:16Speaker 2: what they saw? They can't. That's why they don't remember
- 37:19Speaker 2: what they read, because you took it the opportunity away
- 37:22Speaker 2: from their neurology.
- 37:23Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, you overstimulated them.
- 37:25Speaker 2: And overstimulated and it's creating dopamine depletion, and that you're
- 37:29Speaker 2: creating no networks that know how to do anything wrong.
- 37:33Speaker 2: So all of the screens are creating dyslexia, are creating ADHD,
- 37:37Speaker 2: and are creating anxiety. And we're at a culture now
- 37:41Speaker 2: where people are handing their phones to six month old
- 37:44Speaker 2: nine months like little babies in a stroller are looking
- 37:48Speaker 2: at screens. I've never seen anything, and it, you know,
- 37:52Speaker 2: takes everything in me. So I've written a lot about that,
- 37:55Speaker 2: like the dangers of no child to me should see
- 37:57Speaker 2: a screen before twelve years old.
- 37:59Speaker 1: I read at a start recently that just scarred the
- 38:03Speaker 1: shit out of me. The average American kid size teenager
- 38:07Speaker 1: is spending four to six hours on a screen outside
- 38:11Speaker 1: of school, right, So that's outside of school's four to
- 38:15Speaker 1: six hours per day, like six hours. That's twenty five
- 38:17Speaker 1: percent of your day of the and that's.
- 38:21Speaker 3: The entire day. If you take out, if we take
- 38:23Speaker 3: out sleeping and.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Being in bed, you know, we're up to forty percent
- 38:27Speaker 1: of the day with that external stimulation and which clearly
- 38:31Speaker 1: can't be good. Let's talk about let's talk about rebalancing
- 38:36Speaker 1: a disregulated nervous SYSM.
- 38:38Speaker 3: So you mentioned neurofeedback. You mentioned biofeedback.
- 38:43Speaker 1: First of all, what sort of tools are you using,
- 38:46Speaker 1: are you using HRV, what sort of tools are you
- 38:49Speaker 1: using both to measure somebody's nervous system the state of
- 38:54Speaker 1: their nervous system, and then in terms of the intervention
- 38:59Speaker 1: and what sort of things do you use and what's
- 39:02Speaker 1: the whole picture look?
- 39:04Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I've been using HIV heart math for
- 39:07Speaker 2: you know, as long as twenty years or whatever. We
- 39:10Speaker 2: so HIV every session actually, so that's kind of a
- 39:14Speaker 2: pre warm up and EEGs. I do a lot of
- 39:19Speaker 2: just the qegs. You can do them very very quickly,
- 39:22Speaker 2: assess everything. And then the live training you're seeing exactly
- 39:25Speaker 2: what's happening. You're like, I can tell we can't they
- 39:28Speaker 2: can't bring beta down, or this is through the roof today,
- 39:31Speaker 2: where's the alpha whatever? You can see it. So in
- 39:33Speaker 2: neuro feedback you can see it. I use a lot
- 39:36Speaker 2: of light, so I also do I used to do
- 39:40Speaker 2: sound testing, so we do measuring of tone. So the
- 39:44Speaker 2: ears open up, so you have to address all this.
- 39:46Speaker 2: You have to deal with the ears, the mouth, the eyes,
- 39:49Speaker 2: and the brain because that input is going into the brain, right,
- 39:53Speaker 2: So where is the information. Where's the hiccup? Right? So
- 39:57Speaker 2: sometimes we have to stop what we're doing and they
- 39:59Speaker 2: need therapy because the coordination of the muscles is deranged
- 40:02Speaker 2: and we have to do exercises. Sometimes it's the it's
- 40:05Speaker 2: they can't hear the sound. So when you're an infant,
- 40:08Speaker 2: right when you're born, you come out, you hear very
- 40:12Speaker 2: it's very low frequency. Because inside the womb it sounds
- 40:15Speaker 2: like a washing machine. It's very low. A lot of
- 40:17Speaker 2: people they make the mistake and think babies need quiet, like, no,
- 40:20Speaker 2: they don't, so why they like washing machines and vacuum ears.
- 40:23Speaker 3: And they like this low like noise. Yet right, they're used.
- 40:27Speaker 2: To they want to be on the mother. They're used
- 40:28Speaker 2: to hearing her voice through the body and how that vibrates.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Its very very low frequency. So we measure the frequencies
- 40:36Speaker 2: that the brain can hear, that the ears can hear,
- 40:40Speaker 2: because the frequencies go to different parts of the lower
- 40:42Speaker 2: It goes to the lower brain before we get up
- 40:44Speaker 2: to the prefrontal cortex, so not until so they open
- 40:47Speaker 2: up every year. So if I can see a twelve
- 40:48Speaker 2: year old is shut down at seven hundred herd, So
- 40:52Speaker 2: I'm like, they can't hear the sounds above this very well.
- 40:56Speaker 2: So I know the year the physical or emotional trauma happens, like, oh, oh,
- 41:00Speaker 2: does something happen at five? Was there a surgery or
- 41:03Speaker 2: was there a divorce or what happened? I could see
- 41:05Speaker 2: the ages. I go, oh, it's at one hundred and
- 41:07Speaker 2: twenty five hurts. I'm like, okay, we're shut down there.
- 41:10Speaker 2: I have a fourteen year old can't really differentiate sound. Now,
- 41:13Speaker 2: it doesn't mean they have a hearing problem. It means
- 41:15Speaker 2: they have a tonal problem because tone the frequencies. You know,
- 41:22Speaker 2: So you're a father, right, I know you have kids, right,
- 41:26Speaker 2: how old are they?
- 41:27Speaker 3: Nineteen and fifteen?
- 41:29Speaker 2: Okay, So I don't know if you did this, but
- 41:31Speaker 2: a lot of men do this. But you are brain guys,
- 41:33Speaker 2: so maybe you didn't. A lot of men get in
- 41:35Speaker 2: trouble because men like to be sarcastic. It's like a
- 41:40Speaker 2: thing you guys seem to do more, and they will
- 41:43Speaker 2: make sarcastic jokes with children and then the kids will
- 41:47Speaker 2: cry and then you're like, but I was kidding, and
- 41:50Speaker 2: then the wife is like, what are you an idiot?
- 41:53Speaker 2: You just think you'll understand that so why little kids
- 41:57Speaker 2: and people with autism don't understand tone, It is because
- 42:02Speaker 2: I could say this, pick up your bag off the floor.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Pick up your bag off the floor, very different, right,
- 42:16Speaker 2: so you should volume, no change in volume. It was all.
- 42:20Speaker 3: Tonal tone developmentally driven.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Every year it opens up more because a five year
- 42:30Speaker 2: old shouldn't be able to pick up the tone of
- 42:32Speaker 2: a fourteen tone. Those frequencies five hundred, seven hundred fifty hertz,
- 42:36Speaker 2: thousand herds, three thousand herds. There is different information in
- 42:39Speaker 2: five thousand hurts than there is in one thousand hertz.
- 42:42Speaker 2: There's emotional information in the tone. Children don't need to
- 42:46Speaker 2: know that information. That's why parents can say things to
- 42:49Speaker 2: each other and they don't know what you just said,
- 42:50Speaker 2: especially when you use tone.
- 42:52Speaker 3: It's also same with dogs, right dogs, yes, yes.
- 42:56Speaker 2: So to give you an idea, and this is why
- 42:58Speaker 2: we use Mozart's music so much. So the average normal
- 43:02Speaker 2: it's normal to hear up to Oh gosh, I hope
- 43:06Speaker 2: I get it right, about eighteen thousand. It's either fifteen
- 43:08Speaker 2: thousand or eighteen thousand herds. It's been a minute, sins,
- 43:10Speaker 2: I said it. That's how But you'ren't born hearing that.
- 43:13Speaker 2: If you are, it's actually sensory overwhelming. We see many
- 43:16Speaker 2: autistic kids will be open and it's so much sound
- 43:20Speaker 2: and information. They're like, they can't handle it because you're
- 43:23Speaker 2: not supposed to hear all that. You're supposed to see
- 43:25Speaker 2: your mother's face and hear her voice, and everybody else
- 43:27Speaker 2: can go to help. They're very internally focused. They're all
- 43:30Speaker 2: delta wave driven. They don't care. They only see so
- 43:33Speaker 2: far because they can't take in that much information. That's
- 43:36Speaker 2: all that matters is her.
- 43:38Speaker 1: It's how my little kids always look like they're on
- 43:40Speaker 1: acid trips.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Yes, they're all delta theta waves. They're so hard you're
- 43:46Speaker 2: just like whoah, yeah. And when they start to see
- 43:49Speaker 2: other stuff, it's like what is going on? Yeah, because
- 43:52Speaker 2: they're literally opening up to seeing. They don't see the
- 43:54Speaker 2: world the same. Mozarts music goes up to twenty thousand hurts.
- 44:00Speaker 2: He heard sounds other people can't hear, so he embedded
- 44:05Speaker 2: his music. It's why his music makes people smarter, because
- 44:08Speaker 2: it has more information and more openness to it than
- 44:12Speaker 2: anything else we've heard. We have a reason we think
- 44:15Speaker 2: we mother was a cello player and she played against
- 44:17Speaker 2: rebelly and he was he had so much vibration sound
- 44:21Speaker 2: percussion it altered his own ear and waited. So I
- 44:26Speaker 2: look at sound, We look at that, we look at
- 44:29Speaker 2: I use a lot of lights, so I do a
- 44:30Speaker 2: lot of that, but I do start with basics. I
- 44:34Speaker 2: don't want people going to technology. What are you putting
- 44:36Speaker 2: in your mouth? How do you sleep? What is your
- 44:40Speaker 2: relationship to nature? When's the last time you went to
- 44:42Speaker 2: a forest? You know? Like put the phone down, you know,
- 44:46Speaker 2: like I'm I want it to be things they can get.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Most of the things I'm going to recommend are basically free,
- 44:52Speaker 2: and it's.
- 44:52Speaker 1: Like, yeah, this is what I'm king Stephanie is to say. Okay,
- 44:56Speaker 1: So so for the listener, now let's get into what
- 45:00Speaker 1: can they do by themselves, and then what sort of biofeedback,
- 45:06Speaker 1: neurofeedback things might be out there that they could use
- 45:10Speaker 1: for themselves just to try to regulate their nervous systems
- 45:13Speaker 1: a bit better.
- 45:14Speaker 2: So, for sure, neural feedback with a board certified neurofeedback therapist,
- 45:20Speaker 2: not somebody who bought something on Amazon is charging you
- 45:23Speaker 2: for sessions. Get somebody who is board certified, and I
- 45:26Speaker 2: can give you the websites where you can find the
- 45:28Speaker 2: clinicians that have been trained all over the world that
- 45:30Speaker 2: have gone through the training, the hard work, the mentorship,
- 45:33Speaker 2: taking the test, did what we had to do to
- 45:35Speaker 2: get a board certification. Because it's very, very different, and
- 45:40Speaker 2: we specialize in different things. Not everybody somebody's like we do.
- 45:44Speaker 2: We do ADHD, anxiety, sleep disorders. I only only do seizures,
- 45:48Speaker 2: concussions and this, and it I'm super into. I do
- 45:51Speaker 2: the alcoholics of drug addicts, the severe trauma. So you know,
- 45:57Speaker 2: a four therapists in my office and like, the guys
- 45:59Speaker 2: didn't do any of the rape trauma. That is solely me.
- 46:02Speaker 2: My technicians didn't like the interns weren't comfortable with I'm like,
- 46:06Speaker 2: I got it. I'm gonna handle all the screaming. You
- 46:08Speaker 2: guys go over there and just do the ADHD. Really like,
- 46:12Speaker 2: that's easy, so believe it or ADHD anxiety panic PTSD
- 46:18Speaker 2: easy with neurofeedback. These are easy. And you're being told
- 46:22Speaker 2: that these things are hard and permanent and not reversible.
- 46:26Speaker 2: It's one hundred percent bullshit. Okay, we'll have a small
- 46:29Speaker 2: group of people who will be non responders, but even
- 46:31Speaker 2: then that clinician is going to know what to tell
- 46:33Speaker 2: you what to do now to help a brain change need,
- 46:39Speaker 2: you can't just send workers to fix a road with
- 46:43Speaker 2: some brooms, but we don't give them asphalt and concrete
- 46:46Speaker 2: and tar. So I'm the neurofeedback is the working and
- 46:49Speaker 2: you're going to be doing the XITE CrossFit for the brain.
- 46:52Speaker 2: So if I'm going to take you and basically train
- 46:54Speaker 2: you to run a marathon, I must feed you well,
- 46:57Speaker 2: I must hydrate you well. I must sleep you well
- 47:00Speaker 2: or I'm going to hurt you. And this is not
- 47:02Speaker 2: going to work for us.
- 47:04Speaker 1: So lots of neuroplasticity, right, they need those to need that.
- 47:08Speaker 2: They need the zinc, the amino acids of protein, the cholesterol,
- 47:12Speaker 2: the minerals. I need those B vitamins and magnesium, the
- 47:14Speaker 2: kolonie and the omega three's. There's only so many things
- 47:17Speaker 2: the brain needs, but I cannot go without it, and
- 47:19Speaker 2: most likely you are depleted in those things. That's why
- 47:22Speaker 2: you ended up in this way. And the brain is
- 47:25Speaker 2: not doing anything stupid if it needs to make a
- 47:27Speaker 2: bunch of alpha theater waves, it's trying to slow you
- 47:31Speaker 2: down from some over arousal problem. So we might have
- 47:35Speaker 2: we created slowness to deal with. You know what it's
- 47:37Speaker 2: like for a dyslexic child to walk in that nobody
- 47:40Speaker 2: knows is having that problem and they can't explain it.
- 47:44Speaker 2: To be in a classroom year after year when they
- 47:47Speaker 2: finally figure out they're different and every you know, like
- 47:50Speaker 2: they feel, this is a highly stressful thing for that child.
- 47:54Speaker 2: Then they know that to them, something's wrong with me.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Yeah right, I'm broken, and they don't know how to
- 48:01Speaker 2: tell anybody. So then they're just suffering in silence. So
- 48:05Speaker 2: now school becomes one of the most horrifying places to go.
- 48:08Speaker 2: They've probably been getting in trouble, they've probably been getting
- 48:11Speaker 2: bad grades, they might have had their name written on
- 48:13Speaker 2: a board. They're like seven, eight nine. This can feel
- 48:16Speaker 2: like war to them now, right, So now we have
- 48:20Speaker 2: an anxiety problem on top of the learning disorder. Right,
- 48:24Speaker 2: So you have to so that it does take time,
- 48:26Speaker 2: might take months and layers to get through it, but
- 48:28Speaker 2: you can do it. So I just want to say,
- 48:30Speaker 2: neural feedback is one of my favorite modalities out there period,
- 48:34Speaker 2: and children do extraordinarily well when you teach them. You're
- 48:38Speaker 2: in charge of this. You are not a victim. Here.
- 48:40Speaker 2: Let me show you, how strong and powerful you are.
- 48:43Speaker 2: Look at your brain. Look how beautiful you are. I
- 48:47Speaker 2: show them the brain maps. I show them all you
- 48:49Speaker 2: gotta do. See all that yellow that's not supposed to
- 48:51Speaker 2: be there, it'supposed to be like this. All you're gonna
- 48:53Speaker 2: do is you're gonna play the video games with your mind.
- 48:55Speaker 2: You're going to control.
- 48:56Speaker 1: So yes, just to explain to some people may have
- 49:00Speaker 1: not heard of neuro feedback, Stephanie. So, so there's pretty
- 49:03Speaker 1: cool video games where you're like you're moving a hot
- 49:06Speaker 1: or balloon or whatever, but you have.
- 49:08Speaker 3: To be in certain bream way of states to be able.
- 49:11Speaker 2: To do just a state yeap, whatever we're working on.
- 49:14Speaker 2: So some people that's focused, some people that's relaxation. Some
- 49:19Speaker 2: people those are the two big ones. But you're like,
- 49:22Speaker 2: whatever we're asking your brain to do, you just have
- 49:26Speaker 2: to do that. And as you get rewarded, and the brain,
- 49:29Speaker 2: like the just says, I like to win, and so
- 49:32Speaker 2: it just does it unconsciously. All I have to do
- 49:35Speaker 2: is plant the seed and your brain takes over and
- 49:37Speaker 2: children grab. They don't fight you, they don't think it's
- 49:41Speaker 2: not real. They I don't have to deal with all
- 49:44Speaker 2: that monkey mind they don't do it. They're like, that
- 49:48Speaker 2: was awesome, And I mean you just let them know,
- 49:50Speaker 2: then you then you turn them into there are they're
- 49:53Speaker 2: a strong warrior, sovereign over their body, not a victim
- 49:58Speaker 2: to some diagnosis, and certainly not a victim to taking
- 50:01Speaker 2: a drug for the rest of their life because they're
- 50:04Speaker 2: broken and they have a disorder. So I throw that
- 50:07Speaker 2: ship out the door. It's like, nothing is wrong with you.
- 50:10Speaker 2: You do not have these letters after your name. Never
- 50:12Speaker 2: say that again. Never say my ADHD, my anxiety.
- 50:18Speaker 1: I detest that when people say I'm on it because
- 50:23Speaker 1: it's like, Whatno, it's a core, deep part of you.
- 50:27Speaker 3: It's like, I think that's the wrong with your identity.
- 50:30Speaker 2: But that's if you want to keep them on a
- 50:32Speaker 2: drug for life, you tell them you have this chemical
- 50:35Speaker 2: imbalance for life. No, the child hasn't had a stake
- 50:40Speaker 2: in four years. Why don't we just see them? Why
- 50:45Speaker 2: don't you stop giving them brownies for breakfast? That's how
- 50:53Speaker 2: I do it, Paul. I'm like, why don't you being stupid?
- 50:58Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is incredible how many people, And look,
- 51:04Speaker 1: some of this is just not knowing.
- 51:06Speaker 3: It's a lack of education, right.
- 51:08Speaker 1: And then some of it is well, I know, but
- 51:11Speaker 1: maybe I don't really believe, and some of it is
- 51:14Speaker 1: just well, it's a shit. A lot easier to do this,
- 51:16Speaker 1: Like the unsexy truth is that for a lot of people,
- 51:22Speaker 1: if they exercise well, they eat well, they sleep well,
- 51:28Speaker 1: they recover well, and a lot of shit would actually disappear.
- 51:33Speaker 2: Right.
- 51:33Speaker 1: And I've actually said to the point of, let's just
- 51:36Speaker 1: take exercise, and I think we could replace exercise with
- 51:39Speaker 1: lots of things that we see in the in the
- 51:42Speaker 1: in the research that exercises a way more powerful intervention
- 51:45Speaker 1: than SSRIs for depression.
- 51:47Speaker 3: Right, That's been shown over and over again.
- 51:49Speaker 1: There was a recent British Medical Journal article that that
- 51:53Speaker 1: compared two underd and eighteen studies, and so that exercise
- 51:56Speaker 1: blows SSRIs out of the water. And I talked to
- 51:59Speaker 1: people about what happens when you're exercising. Don't mean serotonin
- 52:03Speaker 1: or adrenaline and cannabinoids and falins and doorphins, and it's
- 52:08Speaker 1: and it's not so much that exercise is an antidepressant,
- 52:13Speaker 1: it's that being sedentary is a depressant.
- 52:17Speaker 3: Right.
- 52:17Speaker 1: And then for me, the same thing as applying with
- 52:20Speaker 1: sleep and all of those It's not just that sleep
- 52:23Speaker 1: is good for you or good nutrition is good for you.
- 52:25Speaker 1: It's that if you're not doing it, you're an active
- 52:28Speaker 1: agent and the destruction of your own physical and mental health, right,
- 52:32Speaker 1: And that's a different that's a different lens to look
- 52:35Speaker 1: at it through.
- 52:36Speaker 2: It is and I'm you know, here's where I'm careful
- 52:40Speaker 2: about the language. And I know you're an exercise physiologist
- 52:43Speaker 2: and this is you know you you work. Do you
- 52:46Speaker 2: work primarily with men?
- 52:47Speaker 3: No? No, no, I work with corporate.
- 52:50Speaker 2: So I'm careful about using that word because most people
- 52:53Speaker 2: don't like the way it sounds. Want no seven year
- 52:56Speaker 2: old wants to exercise, like I don't want to experis
- 53:00Speaker 2: when I was seven eight? But who the hell? Nobody?
- 53:01Speaker 2: I didn't know anybody who Actually my mother didn't exercise.
- 53:05Speaker 3: We all played, Yeah, yeah.
- 53:08Speaker 2: We all played. Play is a very different word, and
- 53:12Speaker 2: it's a very different thing. Play requires all mammals play,
- 53:17Speaker 2: but it requires looking at each other, It requires another person,
- 53:20Speaker 2: and it requires face to eye contact. It requires checking
- 53:24Speaker 2: in with the face, reading what's going on. And it's
- 53:27Speaker 2: this very complicated and it requires movement. So you have
- 53:31Speaker 2: to have a face and you have to have movement.
- 53:33Speaker 2: You could play with your dog or your cat. Believe
- 53:35Speaker 2: it or not. Absolutely, we are still picking up cues.
- 53:38Speaker 2: That's why we're deciding and looking. Are we good? Are
- 53:41Speaker 2: we serious? Are we about to really punch each other?
- 53:44Speaker 2: Or are we still play fighting? Is he going to
- 53:45Speaker 2: kill me? Or no? We're good? Okay? Cool? You know.
- 53:48Speaker 2: And for adults, the ultimate play what happens is sex,
- 53:53Speaker 2: and so many people throw that away as if it's
- 53:57Speaker 2: a luxury. I'm like, no, mamma, this is your number
- 53:59Speaker 2: one so sport. What are you talking about? How are
- 54:02Speaker 2: you guys not doing this every day? Who the hell
- 54:04Speaker 2: wants to exercise? But I want to let's get busy
- 54:06Speaker 2: in the bed? Baby? What I don't want to exercise, Paul,
- 54:10Speaker 2: I don't want to do it. I'm just telling you.
- 54:15Speaker 2: You say that to a special needs mom who hasn't slept.
- 54:18Speaker 3: That she's like, yeah, I'm tired.
- 54:23Speaker 2: But playing is different because that automatically gives her some movement,
- 54:28Speaker 2: has some energy. It's fun. You have enough a participant,
- 54:33Speaker 2: you have community of something.
- 54:34Speaker 3: You can go dance, go dance.
- 54:37Speaker 2: Yes, remember one prescribing is I tell people to say
- 54:40Speaker 2: dance lessons. That's the most powerful cognitive decline. Thing you
- 54:46Speaker 2: can do is take formal dancing lessons.
- 54:49Speaker 1: And actually dancing is one of the most successful interventions
- 54:53Speaker 1: for old people in preventing roles.
- 54:56Speaker 2: Incredible, let's cross hemispheric movement fires so much to think
- 55:01Speaker 2: about it. Plus then you have music playing and they're
- 55:04Speaker 2: touching someone.
- 55:05Speaker 1: I mean, on top of all of that, the muscles
- 55:10Speaker 1: are decelerating under control, right, And it's that loss of
- 55:14Speaker 1: the ability to decelerate under control that that actually creates
- 55:19Speaker 1: false But I am aware of this.
- 55:21Speaker 2: We start with eating. I'm just on. We start with basics.
- 55:24Speaker 2: I want basic nutrition. I want animal based nutrition. I
- 55:27Speaker 2: want that to be very very strong. I don't want
- 55:31Speaker 2: as little fake foods. There's no more. I focus for
- 55:35Speaker 2: children and adults. Breakfast to me again, especially sending these
- 55:38Speaker 2: children off to school, and they're giving them like pop
- 55:41Speaker 2: tarts and a Coca cola. They're wondering why at ten o'clock,
- 55:47Speaker 2: little Timmy is losing his mind and he's both and
- 55:51Speaker 2: he got to watch TV or a movie on his
- 55:55Speaker 2: iPad while he ate that protein cereal bar in the
- 56:00Speaker 2: back of the car. And you wonder why at ten
- 56:02Speaker 2: am he is bouncing off the walls and he's bored
- 56:05Speaker 2: out of his mind listening to Miss Susie go over algebra?
- 56:10Speaker 2: I mean, are you are we all this stupid? I
- 56:15Speaker 2: would be, you know what I'm saying. So so I
- 56:18Speaker 2: literally tell people, I'm like, so you're gonna buy a
- 56:21Speaker 2: crock pot. They're like what I'm like, Listen, we're gonna
- 56:24Speaker 2: help you get a crock pot. You have to cook.
- 56:28Speaker 2: You could just put it in the morning, and it's
- 56:31Speaker 2: going to be dinner, right Like, I understand everyone's busy.
- 56:34Speaker 2: And so what we've gotten is again this ultimate lie
- 56:40Speaker 2: that we're not supposed to work anymore. We're not supposed
- 56:44Speaker 2: to do anything any like. The ultimate sign of success now,
- 56:47Speaker 2: at least here is I don't cut my own grass,
- 56:50Speaker 2: I don't clean my own roof. I don't clean my gutters.
- 56:53Speaker 2: I don't do my laundry, I don't make my bed.
- 56:55Speaker 2: I got a housekeeper, a yard keeper, a long guy.
- 56:58Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That that was a kid.
- 57:00Speaker 2: Everybody did everything. They shoveled the snow, they cleaned everything,
- 57:03Speaker 2: They worked, They cooked. My mother cooked the hot breakfast
- 57:06Speaker 2: every single day. She still had three jobs, but she
- 57:08Speaker 2: cooked that. We didn't eat cereal. That was like not
- 57:10Speaker 2: food okay, cooked and we ate hot food okay. Again,
- 57:16Speaker 2: the most bioavailable for the things your brain needs, the cholesterol,
- 57:20Speaker 2: all the fat, the b vitamins of zinc, the copper,
- 57:23Speaker 2: everything in perfect ratios and bioavailable. All of that you
- 57:27Speaker 2: need is in eggs and meat.
- 57:30Speaker 1: So that's the really interesting sorry, Stephanie little aside. I
- 57:35Speaker 1: interviewed Professor Felice Jaka, who started the nutritional psychiatry movement.
- 57:42Speaker 1: Right She's a psychiatrist also treatined as a dietitian. And
- 57:45Speaker 1: she told me that when she started doing her PhD,
- 57:48Speaker 1: she was looking at the impact of food on mood.
- 57:52Speaker 3: And she said to me, paul I was vegan.
- 57:55Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't remember if she still is,
- 57:57Speaker 1: but she said, and she said, I had an existential
- 58:01Speaker 1: crisis because my research actually showed that animal based foods
- 58:07Speaker 1: are meat and meat, and that other animal based foods
- 58:10Speaker 1: were hugely important for mental health and and so and
- 58:15Speaker 1: this is not and I say to people, a lot
- 58:17Speaker 1: of people, if they're vegetarian and vegan, often there's strong
- 58:20Speaker 1: ethical reasons for that. And I'm like, I get it,
- 58:24Speaker 1: I completely get it, but particularly when we're talking about
- 58:28Speaker 1: brain health and somebody who's been stressed for a long
- 58:33Speaker 1: period of time. Because Bruce Eum's professor bruceiums theory and
- 58:38Speaker 1: about that, that basically shows that your body prioritized the
- 58:42Speaker 1: creation of stress hormones, and when you're highly stressed, it
- 58:45Speaker 1: robs the brain and nervous system of nutrients to create
- 58:49Speaker 1: those stress hormones, so you get a depleted brain. And
- 58:53Speaker 1: then if you're not eating those animal based foods, so
- 58:55Speaker 1: they're really important to all those nutrients that you do.
- 58:58Speaker 1: You describe you you're just really you're pretty, and it's
- 59:02Speaker 1: just kind of cold.
- 59:04Speaker 2: It's an animal. We are animal. We are all protein minerals.
- 59:09Speaker 2: In fat. There's only two thousand calories of a carb
- 59:12Speaker 2: in me and stores of glycogen. That's it. You know
- 59:14Speaker 2: how hard it is to turn kale and broccoli into
- 59:16Speaker 2: a human brain. It's extraordinarily difficult. And every cell in
- 59:22Speaker 2: your body makes cholesterol. The brain is primarily cholesterol, and
- 59:26Speaker 2: it makes all of its own. Please tell me how
- 59:28Speaker 2: that's going to kill you. Please tell me how. The
- 59:31Speaker 2: thing I mean again, what they've been genius at is
- 59:34Speaker 2: telling you the things that your body does naturally to
- 59:37Speaker 2: perform well are somehow dangerous and reckless for you. And
- 59:41Speaker 2: then so people have been starving themselves are the things
- 59:43Speaker 2: that they really need. So that's where I start with people.
- 59:47Speaker 2: I was a vegan for twelve years. I no longer
- 59:50Speaker 2: take any vegans. I will never work with them again.
- 59:52Speaker 2: It's almost it's virtual. Neural feedback doesn't work. Their brains
- 59:57Speaker 2: can't hold a charge. So it does work, it's going
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: to always reverse. And so I figured that out, and
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't just keep taking your money, because
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: you will have to continue for life. Neural feedback is permanent.
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: We hit a point done. It's not like a muscle.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: It doesn't atrophy. It actually just keeps getting better. It
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: will never happen in a vegan brain.
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: Wow, it's not a single.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Natural indigenous culture on Earth that is vegan. They all
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: would go, they'd be sterile, and they would never approcate.
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: It wouldn't work. It doesn't work. Humans, by nature, in nature,
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: never make that choice. They're all hyper carnivore. They all
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: have an incredibly at least seventy percent of their diet
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: is animal based, and most of them, the longest living
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: cultures are almost all The Russians have figured this out,
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: So all, yeah, eating that way is the only way
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: to handle schizophrenia, autism and gut disorders.
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: It is the only way that's interesting. And so getting
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: the diet right you talked about.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: It to go with a lot of circadian biology with
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: the sun, teaching the clocks of the body in a
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: simple way, like listen, if you could do the one thing,
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: if the only thing people can do is start to
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: align themselves to see the sunrise before any other light,
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: no context, no glasses outside, as much eye and skin
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: as we can. What that does to reset sleep rhythms
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: and hormones and drop the cortisol down and get things
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: the way and start bringing appetite back on and the
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: way we need it and releasing the melotone. It make
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: you make dopamine and serotonin and melatonin from sunlight in
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: your eyes in the morning. So I want to hit
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: every avenue to teach them how their body is working.
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: So in light is a nutrient. I'm like, you're missing
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: the most important thing. Then if I can get midday,
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: we do the midday, then we get the sunset, you
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: know I do. Then I teach them about the lighting
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: and the how I teach them all these things slowly,
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: like can you convert to candles at night? Can you convert?
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Put put red or or salt lamps on the floor
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: and turn the overhead up? Like it just starts start
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: thinking about what you would live like if you went.
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: This.
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: This is exactly the point I was about to say,
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: is that no animal does well when they're taken out
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: of their natural environment, none of right and and human being,
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: why would be Why would we be so arrogant to
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: think that we would be different?
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: Right?
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: And you know, we know that spanning time in nature
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: is anti inflammatory, you know, and that spanning a shit
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: heap of time indoors just drives inflammation, disrupts circadian rhythms,
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: and and I think me and you could do a
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: whole politicast on circadian disruption.
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: But just being indoors is actually physically stressful to your system.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: I have higher stress hormones running through my body sitting
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: here under these lights inside this house than if I
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: was in the backyard, And just what looking at nature
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: and experience of it physically, it alters all my brain waves,
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: which then alters all my neurochemistry, which also you know,
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: we're bringing in bacteria through there. There's so many things,
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: but I mean University of Michigan to the studies. People
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: solve problems completely differently in a forest and they do
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: in a library. You are smarter outside. I get a
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: simple things I do and like then they're doing homework.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: You got to have a table outside. Great, all the
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: homeworks outside from now on. Stop having them be in
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: their bedroom with four computer Pull all the computers out
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: of your bedroom, all the TV's out of your bedroom,
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: turn off your wife. I get hardcore Pauls, but I
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: take a long time to do it. Start with basics.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: If your great grandmama was over at your house, she
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: would feed you, she would give you a bath at
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: seven thirty at night, and you would go to bed,
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: go to bed, read a book, be bored. So I
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: think people should let their children be bored as well.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: We do a lot of that. Don't entertain them. They
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: have to learn how to use imagination. Imagination is a
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: wonderful thing. They have to learn to solve problems. So
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: that's where I start again. I don't I'm not going
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: to start doing hard brain exercises on someone that is
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: starving for nutrients based sleep rhythm, you know, and is drained.
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: It's like that'd be taken like you would Newhorn mother
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: and say let's train you for a marathon. You're sleeping
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: two hours a night. It's like, let's use Wait what
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: that would that would be? So you can't I don't,
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: I don't fast and anorexic. We have to feed that person.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: So you have to start with a system that's strong
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: enough to do some of these things, and you may
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: not have to do some of the I think all
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: the electromagnetic therapies are amazing. I use a lot of
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: also devices vagel stem I like to yes, I love
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: the whole list. That's my favorite one. People which one?
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: Which one coolest? H I don't know if you guys
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: can get it there. It's small. You can put it
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: in a pocket and think it's in my purse, but
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: they can. It's so it's it's the best one I've
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: ever seen. I love the V light. I've got that
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: here VI I like. I love the V light, So
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: I like the alpha and the gamma. So I use
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: I will bring the devices. I love them to have
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: home devices, something they can own at the whole whole
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: family can use.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: I was going to ask Stephanie just on that just
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: because we are running out of time. Is there a
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: good neuro feedback program that people can use that they
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: can use You know those video games where you're moving
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: the things.
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: With your You've got to get your Brian and yeah,
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: what's a good commercial one.
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: I would still think you need to see a therapist
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: and get a good good I do remote neual feedback,
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, but I am limited in the
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: type of patients I can see. So I've had seven
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: different neurofeedback systems in the inside brick and mortar, but
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: remotely is you You are limited. You can't do as
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: many things. It doesn't really matter if you go see
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: like I can say, well, I like brain Master and
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: I like that. It doesn't matter what the doctor is
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: going to be using. If you go so b C
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: i A dot org or I s n R dot
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: org are two certification organizations where you can look up
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: a practitioner who is board certified in either one of those,
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: and it'll range from chiropractors to talk therapists to neurologists
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: like and obviously they'll do me doing different types of training.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean to get a nice image. What's
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: the baseline. Is it ADHD or is it anxiety? Is
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: it a concussion? What's happening? You don't have you don't sleep? Well,
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: let's see why. Is there something we can see? How
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: many points on a line can we show Is neurofeedback
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: going to help that or not? They're good at telling you.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: It's like I've had people come to me for things
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: that I'm like, I have no idea if I can
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: help you with that. I'm like, there's nothing in the
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: literature like we're so good at ADHD where alcoholism seizures sleeps.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: Everybody gets better with sleep. That's super easy to do.
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: SMR is a sleep spindle. It's a low level twelve
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: to fourteen fifteen hertz beta wave that's made in the
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: sensory motor cortex only that's where all the sleep spindles
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: are made. And we just help you make SMR. Everybody
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: gets better. I mean it's believable. That's so some of
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: that you can do at home. My remote system I
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: use is mind lift, but there's many others. I would
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: not recommend just buying something and training yourself.
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: I think even even the likes of heart maths xfinitely,
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: which is just kind of.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: That's not the same, right, So that's it's a form
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: of bio. Yes, that's fine. That's not neural feedback. That's
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: a prep. So we do heart math before every session
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: to help with calming the system and then oxygenating the
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: brain and then we do the neural feedback and it's
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: more effective. So yes, I love it's not neural feedback though.
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: But simple tools they can do. I love heart math,
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: I love the wholeist. I love V light devices.
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: Is that the I G like A I E L.
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: I G H T. They're out of Canada. Yeah, they're very,
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: very good. So those are some easy like again Parkinson's dementia,
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: traumatic brain injury, sleep. They're incredible for that meditation. They help,
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: they help enhance you with that. So you start with
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: the basics, and I think seeing somebody who understands has
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: the philosophy, there's nothing that's incurable. You can reverse everything.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: That should be the first If you don't remember, if
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: a clinician doesn't believe that, I would walk right out
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: the door. You know, I wouldn't want Why would you
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: want to work with this person? Because they see you
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: as a victim and they see you as weak. I
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: don't want to talk to those people. I'm like, no,
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: thank you, Okay, give me somebody else. So you want
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: somebody who can see the best version of you or
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: your child, the one that you can't even see yet. Right,
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: that's my job as to hold an image over here
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: and pull you along until you see it for yourself.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: And when you can, I'm out of the way. You
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: fire my job. My goal is you fire me. I
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: don't need any more doctor, Thank you so much. Peace out.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: I'm glad you don't high five and fire everybody else,
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: fire all of your therapists. You know, so one day
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: you should be like, I want to fire everybody. You know,
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: you shouldn't go to the doctor five times a week.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: But that's what people are doing.
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: Well, well, yeah, that that is true.
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: You shouldn't have to have somebody for all of your life.
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: Right, you're right.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: The goal of any good interventionist should be that that
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: they ultimately end up firing.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: Don't keep me now, you know what to do. Yeah,
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: it's there, you're stable. You know how to do it
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: yourself if you if you need help, you know where
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: we are. You know, Like, that's it. I don't want
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: to see you forever. Why, I mean, send me a
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: car to Christmas. Merry Christmas. Keep me up to date,
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: and they do. I keep up to date. I know
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: what my kids are doing. I know the kids who
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: were arrested, who are doing drugs, and our attorneys now
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: and our psychiatrists and our surgeons. These were my patients.
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: So they tell me. I know where they are. And
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: they were thrown away, they were in handcuffs, and I'm like,
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: this is that that go? First of all, there's nothing
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: wrong with you. Stop thinking he's a problem. Let me
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: just show you what you're doing, what your brain is doing.
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: Something kind of happened, like kind of doesn't matter. Maybe
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: you fell in your head. Maybe maybe it's all the
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: twizzler in the canie you're eating. But I'm gonna need
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: to do a few things. You got to stop eating
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: these few things for me to do this, and then
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: all the rest of all do Like, kids will get
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: on board if you stop talking to them like they're morons,
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: and you stop condescending to them, if you tell them
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: they're strong and powerful, and you know they always want
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: to be bigger, better, faster, stronger. So that's why I
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: talk to them. I don't. They don't want to be
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: calm like a careless you know, mom needs calm, you know,
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: so you talk to them. I talk to a child
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: very different than I talk to a man, very different
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: than I talk to a woman. You guys want different things,
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: and so I say different language. But for them to
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: see you did this and I don't ever, let don't
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: thank me. They're like, you just said I didn't do it.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: You did it. I just was your coach. You won
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: the game, you know. So that's kind of that's for
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: people who need help. You do need to start with
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: the basics, and you need to be around people who understand.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: A great book that could say people parents could get
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: symphony in the brain. It's by Robins and it's a
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: written really well about neurow feedback. And I also like
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: Bill Walsh's nutrient therapy. These are for lay people. I
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: think they're really nice, really easy to understand.
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: Cool.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: And so where do people go to find out more
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: about you in your book?
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: You have me mentioned your book you're promoting. We need
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: to talk about your book.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: Notes. So a book that has not a single citation,
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: that doesn't talk about anything I just talked about, but
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: it's basically they It's called Receive the Dance of Feminine Power.
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: And I wrote this not really as a clinician, but
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: you get to see more of what Stephanie Rimka has
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: had to go through. But being a clinician is important,
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: and it's written for all the women patients I've had,
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: or the mothers of all the patients I've had, where
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: I'm like, Mama, you've misunderstood your role. And women have
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: and I fell victim to it too. We've really over
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: masculinized ourselves, like the idea of like you've got to
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: be strong and a bad ass and a bad bitch,
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: and it's just so aggressive. And I did what I
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: had to do to survive, but it is not a
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: way to thrive and really the greatest power so I
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: talk of and I'm the mother of a boy's twenty, right,
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: so I honor the masculine. I don't degrade it in
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: anyone and you or myself. But I try to explain
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: women have taken this on and they're not doing it well,
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: and they're emasculating men. They're never knowing how to receive
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: the ultimate feminine power is that we are receptors and
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: we magnify and amplify anything you give us. And that's amazing,
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: and that's wonderful. And women have forgotten this. They've forgotten
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: how to be soft, how to surrender, how to I
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: was ashamed of my feminine. I wasn't comfortable with it.
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: I think you had to be tough, you got to
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: kick people's ass. I mean, this was that's what's going
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: to get me through in life and so and being
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: in healthcare will tell you. I think the big problem
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: with what it has become, the sick care that it
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: is the model is based upon violence, war, military speak.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: It is devoid of the feminine. And the right hemisphere
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: is pure feminine connection to spirit, intuition, God source. And
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: if we keep acting like that's not true and dominated
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: only by the left hemisphere, logic, linear, get shit done,
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: you are missing the power of who you really are.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: So that's what I wrote it about. But it's not
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: about science, and it's about my own journey of a
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: broken heart that kind of happened. Even though it's not
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: an autobiography, so I wouldn't call it a self help book.
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: It's more of a love story to myself and to
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: all the women out there. But shockingly. Men love this
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: book and talk to me about it all the time.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: You know, they're reading it with their wives and they're like,
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: oh my god, it was so good, you know, making
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: them cry. It's a lot of lyric like lyrical poetry
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: written actually, so it's not it's very right hemisphere. It's
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: very feminine, it's very beautiful. It's like a dance. So anyway, yeah,
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: on website doctor Rimka dot com it because you've.
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: Got You've got also got coursious on your website as way.
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: So I have a lot of courses I do and
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: I have membership, so you know some of my most
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: of my courses are for women, but some are not.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: So I range, you know, I clinically teach peptid therapy
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: for clinicians only out of a university. I do continuing
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: education for clinicians. I'll be speaking next month in New
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: York and an aesthetics conference. So I speak on a
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: number of topics. I train on mitochondria and you know, exercise.
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: All those things you said are true, and I don't
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: think any of those are the most important. I think
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: the most important thing movement does is that it increases
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: the amount of christe inside of the mitochondria, and that
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: is the only reason I even like doing it. I'm like,
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: well it does what Michael, I'm like, because that is
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: the most important thing. So I'm a science geek. I
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: like weird stuff like voltage and charge and what molecules
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: do inside of mitochondria. But I also love poetry and
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: beauty and art, and so that book lets you explore
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: that part of me. But doctor Rimpa gets into the
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: courses that are very science based. But I merge the
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: feminine spirit and soul into everything that I do. I'm
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: not going to talk about it. The way Western medicine is.
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: So very cool. Thank you for your time and your
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: religious level.
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: Of knowledge across a huge amount of things that are
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: are important for the human being.
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: So keep doing your awesome mark.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: Thank you, My pleasure.
