Speaker 2: Hey, good afternoon, and welcome to another episode of Wellness Uncensored.
0:37
Speaker 2: My name is Patty g and I am your host
0:40
Speaker 2: of this show, and I want to welcome you all.
0:43
Speaker 2: We're in our third season. We're live here for you
0:46
Speaker 2: today every Thursday at three pm Eastern and little background
0:50
Speaker 2: if you're new tuning in. This show kind of came
0:52
Speaker 2: about because we wanted to have a voice after we
0:55
Speaker 2: all kind of got shut down, lockdown misinformation and all
0:58
Speaker 2: that good stuff. We've been driving the show to give
1:02
Speaker 2: better information to help people make good choices physically, emotionally,
1:06
Speaker 2: mentally going forward, because there's just a lot of questions
1:09
Speaker 2: out there like what should I do, what could I do?
1:12
Speaker 2: What's healthy? What's not healthy? And so we've always got
1:15
Speaker 2: lots of chock full information and sometimes we have guests
1:19
Speaker 2: on the show. Today you've got me and if you're
1:22
Speaker 2: able to send in some questions, by all means you
1:25
Speaker 2: can reach me on the QRS code that's on your
1:28
Speaker 2: screen right now, and if you're driving, you can reach
1:30
Speaker 2: me at nine oh four three seven seven one nine six.
1:34
Speaker 2: You're always welcome to text questions or comments or anything
1:37
Speaker 2: that you might have questions about or things that you'd
1:40
Speaker 2: like to see on the show. I've got two books
1:43
Speaker 2: out there and if your new tuning in. The first
1:47
Speaker 2: book I wrote was about adhesive capsulitis, otherwise known as
1:51
Speaker 2: frozen shoulder, and frozen shoulder is an interesting phenomenon. We'll
1:55
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about how you can get frozen shoulder,
1:58
Speaker 2: I guess a little bit later in the show, but
2:00
Speaker 2: it can come from autoimmune, history of diabetes, menopause, perimenopause,
2:07
Speaker 2: and trauma. So if you've had PTSD or traumatic life events,
2:11
Speaker 2: sometimes rosen shoulder can manifest as a result of those things.
2:15
Speaker 2: So I wrote the Survival Guide because many people don't
2:18
Speaker 2: even know what it is, and it just sort of
2:21
Speaker 2: comes on like a cold or an injury or an
2:24
Speaker 2: illness in the shoulder, and it just gets progressively more debilitating,
2:28
Speaker 2: and you think, what have I done in my shoulder
2:29
Speaker 2: that it hurts so bad, And come to find out
2:32
Speaker 2: it's really like a pneumonia in your shoulder. It locks down,
2:35
Speaker 2: you get adhesions. It's terrible. And my other book, they
2:38
Speaker 2: call Me Harriet, really is a manifestation of what went
2:41
Speaker 2: on behind the scenes during the pandemic, and it's got
2:44
Speaker 2: a little bit of my history in there. How I
2:47
Speaker 2: ended up overcoming the COVID virus, was in the ICU
2:52
Speaker 2: and really had to rebuild and repair because like many
2:55
Speaker 2: people out there today who still suffer and struggle with
2:58
Speaker 2: long haulers, postural hypertension, things like that, I really had
3:04
Speaker 2: to repair from the ground up and back in twenty twenty,
3:07
Speaker 2: nobody really knew what was going on, so I needed
3:10
Speaker 2: to take some fast action to get cardiac and respiratory rehabilitation.
3:15
Speaker 2: So I took it upon myself to use my brain
3:18
Speaker 2: and train, and that's exactly what I share with other people.
3:21
Speaker 2: So today we are going to talk about training the
3:24
Speaker 2: brain and how to really manifest positive ways to not
3:30
Speaker 2: have to be dependent on medication. And if you are
3:33
Speaker 2: on medication, there's hope. Funny enough, you know, there's always
3:37
Speaker 2: things that are on our bucket list, and I just
3:40
Speaker 2: recently got back literally touched ground at noon, was on
3:43
Speaker 2: an overnight flight back home from Hawaii. So I'm a
3:47
Speaker 2: little sleep deprived, but hey, no worries. When we have
3:51
Speaker 2: to rally and respond, that's what we're here to do.
3:53
Speaker 2: So hopefully I will give you some good manifestations of
3:57
Speaker 2: some of the things that I've learned. I get a
3:59
Speaker 2: wonderful con difference out in Hawaii and Maui, and it
4:03
Speaker 2: was really cool place. Getting out there was fun, but
4:05
Speaker 2: getting back maybe not quite so much. But in any event,
4:10
Speaker 2: so you can look us up either on the Q
4:13
Speaker 2: or S code. Our web page is Magnoliabewellness dot com
4:18
Speaker 2: and you can also look us up under Magnolia cell
4:22
Speaker 2: patch dot com because we've got some amazing things that
4:25
Speaker 2: you can use to get off of medications, one of
4:28
Speaker 2: which is a cell patch. I utilize these for some
4:32
Speaker 2: of my patients as well as vitamin supplements, IB nutrients,
4:36
Speaker 2: but the cell patches are wonderful to give lots of energy.
4:39
Speaker 2: I had one on up through my trip and I'm
4:41
Speaker 2: thinking that's where I've driven some energy with not getting
4:45
Speaker 2: too much sleep today. But you know, one of the
4:48
Speaker 2: quotes that I took back from our conference this week
4:50
Speaker 2: was brain help. It's the agency to unlock your power,
4:56
Speaker 2: and I'd be real curious to hear you know how
4:58
Speaker 2: many of you struggle with what goes on in your life.
5:02
Speaker 2: You know, our days get so full. And one of
5:05
Speaker 2: the things I wanted to share, you know how many
5:07
Speaker 2: of you feel like, Oh, you know, I've read a
5:10
Speaker 2: lot about EIGHTYHD lately, and I've got all those symptoms.
5:15
Speaker 2: I have brain fog and I've got cognition issues, and
5:19
Speaker 2: i can't think, and I can't concentrate, and i can't
5:22
Speaker 2: focus on anything, all kinds of stuff. And you know,
5:27
Speaker 2: I was thinking a lot about it out of the
5:29
Speaker 2: conference this week, and I have so many patients that
5:31
Speaker 2: are just so overbooked. Just stop and think for a minute,
5:36
Speaker 2: how much are you doing compared to what perhaps maybe
5:40
Speaker 2: your parents did, maybe your grandparents did, And think about
5:44
Speaker 2: your day, think about your sleep, think about if you're
5:47
Speaker 2: having trouble sleeping, is it because maybe you've gotten your
5:50
Speaker 2: brain too charged up? And then here's another question we're
5:53
Speaker 2: going to talk about today. Is it really that you
5:55
Speaker 2: can't concentrate and focus or might it be that you
5:59
Speaker 2: just don't really like some of the tasks and the
6:02
Speaker 2: chores and the things you have to do, and so
6:05
Speaker 2: you put them off, You procrastinate. But if you could
6:08
Speaker 2: fill your day with all the things that you enjoyed doing,
6:11
Speaker 2: would you perhaps be a little bit more focused or
6:14
Speaker 2: would you get things done if you could push those
6:17
Speaker 2: things aside of the musters and the have tos that
6:20
Speaker 2: goes for school classes, laundry, cleaning the house, paying bills,
6:26
Speaker 2: whatever those things are, they're not enjoyable. It may even
6:29
Speaker 2: be your current job, like maybe it's not what you love,
6:34
Speaker 2: but it pays the bills. And do you find that
6:36
Speaker 2: you're often distracted and that you have trouble meeting deadlines?
6:40
Speaker 2: So one of the things that we talked about this
6:42
Speaker 2: week and that I really found very helpful, let's not
6:45
Speaker 2: be so quick to throw a diagnosis on our symptoms.
6:49
Speaker 2: Let's get to the root. And I'm always talking to
6:52
Speaker 2: you guys about the root cause of what goes on
6:54
Speaker 2: in your life. And let's think about that for a minute.
6:57
Speaker 2: You're having trouble sleeping. Is it because you're dressed? Is
7:01
Speaker 2: it because you're overthinking? Is it because you're worried about something?
7:06
Speaker 2: Or is it because you know that as soon as
7:07
Speaker 2: you fall asleep, you've got an early day ahead of you.
7:10
Speaker 2: You've got an over demanding schedule, and beyond the schedule,
7:13
Speaker 2: you have expectations of everybody that you have to meet
7:16
Speaker 2: their needs during that day and at the end of
7:18
Speaker 2: the day, and really when does your day into the
7:21
Speaker 2: evening end? So perhaps it's not attention deficit, it's sensory overload.
7:29
Speaker 2: So think about that for a minute. We've got a
7:32
Speaker 2: great question out there already about what tools are out
7:35
Speaker 2: there to help us retrain the brain and what are
7:38
Speaker 2: your thoughts on the muse system. So we're going to
7:41
Speaker 2: kind of get into a little bit of this about
7:43
Speaker 2: retraining the brain. And there's a lot of different techniques,
7:47
Speaker 2: a lot of different patterns or parallels programs. There's a
7:50
Speaker 2: lot of great books out there. I even heard about
7:53
Speaker 2: a great book. I just ordered it. It may actually
7:56
Speaker 2: be showing up at my door because I ordered it
7:58
Speaker 2: yesterday at the conference. And you've got to love Amazon.
8:01
Speaker 2: They are the efficient beast on a process, process and
8:06
Speaker 2: getting it to you efficiently. If only our bodies and
8:09
Speaker 2: our brains could be as efficient as Amazon, and with
8:12
Speaker 2: great customer service to our bodies like Amazon, Like we
8:16
Speaker 2: want you to be happy with what you do. How
8:19
Speaker 2: often are you happy with what you've done at the
8:23
Speaker 2: end of the day, or are you stressed and manifesting anxiety?
8:28
Speaker 2: And so a whole lot, a whole lot we want
8:30
Speaker 2: to talk about. I did want to share because this
8:32
Speaker 2: was another kind of bittersweet and sad, if you will,
8:37
Speaker 2: But just to kind of pay respect, there was a
8:40
Speaker 2: psychiatrist who's very well known in the study of psychiatry
8:45
Speaker 2: and was really work on a lot of different things.
8:48
Speaker 2: Had been one of the folks who had actually I
8:53
Speaker 2: can't pull it up all here, but he was studying
8:56
Speaker 2: dose optimization and some different try else. But his name
9:02
Speaker 2: is Rian Nolan, and I just want to get this
9:07
Speaker 2: all correct because we were kind of shocked to hear it.
9:09
Speaker 2: I was out at the psychiatry conference this week, and
9:12
Speaker 2: he passed away just a few weeks ago, actually probably
9:15
Speaker 2: a week and a half, two weeks ago. Here. He
9:19
Speaker 2: was just a well well published young man, husband, father, psychiatrist,
9:25
Speaker 2: and he had developed the Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation treatment,
9:33
Speaker 2: and he was very just a brilliant person. He was
9:37
Speaker 2: a wonderful author and just up and coming a futurist,
9:41
Speaker 2: if you will. And even for the best most profound
9:45
Speaker 2: successful people. I learned this week that he took his life.
9:49
Speaker 2: So again, September was National Suicide Prevention Month, and I
9:54
Speaker 2: will see, even among the among the ranks of people
9:57
Speaker 2: well trained in psychiatry, we don't take time to care
10:02
Speaker 2: for ourself. Self care is by far the most important
10:06
Speaker 2: thing that you can do. And I take it back
10:08
Speaker 2: to when you're on a plane and literally just getting
10:11
Speaker 2: off a plane. You know, they go through the steps
10:13
Speaker 2: and we were in the emergency exit and they asked
10:16
Speaker 2: us if we would go through the steps, and you know,
10:17
Speaker 2: are you prepared to help other people? And if you
10:21
Speaker 2: can't take care of yourself first, you're not going to
10:24
Speaker 2: be good for anybody else. And there just comes a point.
10:28
Speaker 2: Have you ever felt this way when you think about,
10:31
Speaker 2: I'm just so drained, I can't even help myself. That's
10:35
Speaker 2: when you know your tank is really, really low. And
10:38
Speaker 2: I want you all to know you have to have
10:41
Speaker 2: just a little left in the tank to help you.
10:44
Speaker 2: And that's kind of where we talk about things like
10:47
Speaker 2: what can I do for myself? What's good self care?
10:50
Speaker 2: And when we talk about things like sleep, when we
10:52
Speaker 2: talk about good you know, just nurturing, nurturing your body,
10:58
Speaker 2: how do you make time to get good sleep. First
11:01
Speaker 2: of all, you've got to really look at are you
11:03
Speaker 2: booked or are you overbooked? And again this kind of
11:07
Speaker 2: all ties into folks with thoughts of well, I can't
11:11
Speaker 2: concentrate and I haven't saw me and my brain is
11:13
Speaker 2: really off and I'm forgetting things. Is it really that
11:17
Speaker 2: you have developed an adult onset of attention deficit or
11:21
Speaker 2: could you maybe be just really overbooked for daily living?
11:26
Speaker 2: It really comes down to a balance. So we're going
11:29
Speaker 2: to talk about some of those things. And a great
11:32
Speaker 2: question too, Kelly asked about meditation. Self care really should
11:38
Speaker 2: be a variety of things that nurture you your mind,
11:42
Speaker 2: your body, and spirit. And Wayne Dryer d y e
11:47
Speaker 2: Er was a great kind of a healing expert, if
11:52
Speaker 2: you will, in the study of psychiatry and healing, and
11:56
Speaker 2: that was one of the things to get to know
11:58
Speaker 2: SELFA Hey, she's another one. And when you look these
12:03
Speaker 2: folks up, there's so many things that they can offer
12:06
Speaker 2: in terms of breathing, relaxation, saying different versus different mantras.
12:12
Speaker 2: Meditation and meditation may look a little bit different for everybody.
12:17
Speaker 2: Here's a simple way that I like to talk about meditation,
12:20
Speaker 2: getting grounded and in touch with oneself. Go step outside
12:24
Speaker 2: if you enjoy nature, or go find For some folks,
12:27
Speaker 2: it might be your man cave, it might be your
12:29
Speaker 2: she cave, wherever it is, and you want to get
12:32
Speaker 2: in touch with all five senses. You know, you want
12:35
Speaker 2: to be able to breathe, take slow, you know, profound
12:39
Speaker 2: deep breaths in and out, almost rhythmically right breathe in,
12:44
Speaker 2: hould it and let it out. And you want to
12:47
Speaker 2: do that five or ten times. You can draw pictures
12:50
Speaker 2: with your hand or triangle or square to help you
12:53
Speaker 2: rhythmically bad. You can do the tapping technique. These are
12:56
Speaker 2: all good things to help relax your body, relax your mind,
13:01
Speaker 2: reset your autonomic nervous system, and just tap right over
13:06
Speaker 2: your chest. You can take two fingers tap over your
13:08
Speaker 2: heart and this is going to reregulate you. I love
13:11
Speaker 2: to go outside because you know, if you can step outside,
13:14
Speaker 2: put your feet in the grass and the dirt and
13:17
Speaker 2: the sand, you've got those elemental pieces to just really
13:23
Speaker 2: getting those positive and negative ions back into your body.
13:26
Speaker 2: So self care can look very different for everybody. You
13:29
Speaker 2: may even find singing in the shower. How about it
13:33
Speaker 2: singing in the shower. What is so profound about singing
13:36
Speaker 2: in the shower. It's the vibration, either singing or humming,
13:40
Speaker 2: you are resetting your vagus nerve. And again you're going
13:45
Speaker 2: to hear a lot of different things today, terms and
13:48
Speaker 2: things if you have questions about them. But the vagus
13:50
Speaker 2: nerve is the largest nerve that runs through your whole body.
13:53
Speaker 2: We talked about it a few weeks ago. And while
13:55
Speaker 2: it innervates out of the brain, the brainstem, through your
14:00
Speaker 2: body through hits most of the major organs as it
14:02
Speaker 2: goes all the way down out to the lower part
14:05
Speaker 2: of your spine, and the vagus nerve controls all these
14:09
Speaker 2: autonomic functions that can lead to anxiety, stress, physiological symptoms,
14:14
Speaker 2: symptoms that come out in your body tension, upset, stomach, chills, fatigue.
14:21
Speaker 2: I was telling rebel Our producer just before we got
14:23
Speaker 2: on tough light landing in my ears, I feel like
14:26
Speaker 2: I'm in a boilet bowl and my ears are popping.
14:29
Speaker 2: So if I found a little funky, that's why. But yeah,
14:32
Speaker 2: all kinds of things you can do to ground. Some
14:35
Speaker 2: people like to draw. Maybe it's relaxing for you to
14:38
Speaker 2: doodle or draw or journal and these are all the
14:42
Speaker 2: things you can do to kind of really relax the mind,
14:45
Speaker 2: relax the brain. It could be a hot bath, take
14:48
Speaker 2: a hot bath, put some aromatherapy in. I don't think
14:52
Speaker 2: we often enough take the time to do some ebbs
14:55
Speaker 2: and salts. They got a lot of different flavors of
14:57
Speaker 2: ebbs and salts that you can put in to the bathtub.
15:01
Speaker 2: And you know, you smell the aroma, you let it
15:04
Speaker 2: soak into your joints and into your muscles. It can
15:07
Speaker 2: be really really beneficial. So those are some of the
15:11
Speaker 2: things to kind of get into the mindset. And how
15:13
Speaker 2: often do we do this? You know, you really need
15:16
Speaker 2: to take five, ten, fifteen minutes a day on a minimum.
15:20
Speaker 2: Maybe mornings are better for you. I have some patients
15:22
Speaker 2: that are they're so fortunate they can get up at
15:25
Speaker 2: the morning and start your day and have some quiet time.
15:28
Speaker 2: For me, it's usually more at the latter part of
15:30
Speaker 2: the day. But you've got to find a time that's
15:32
Speaker 2: really good for you to just be intentional. These intentional
15:36
Speaker 2: moments are what's really going to help to manifest your
15:39
Speaker 2: sense of peace of well being. And why do we
15:43
Speaker 2: do this? You know, our whole point of talking about
15:46
Speaker 2: retraining your brain because our brain will adapt to the
15:51
Speaker 2: least common denominator. So if you're in a stressful situation,
15:56
Speaker 2: your brain is going to get you through that stress.
16:00
Speaker 2: And for some folks, what does that mean? When you're
16:02
Speaker 2: going through a stressful situation? Right? You could really be
16:06
Speaker 2: in that panic mode? How many of you live in
16:09
Speaker 2: fight or flight? You're always on edge, You're always waiting
16:13
Speaker 2: for the other shoe to drop. You feel like sometimes
16:16
Speaker 2: something bad's going to happen. You worry about the what ifs.
16:20
Speaker 2: How many of you out there do that? I know
16:21
Speaker 2: you do? What if? What if? What if that? What
16:25
Speaker 2: if I don't get home in time to do my show?
16:28
Speaker 2: What if I have a patient that needs to see me?
16:30
Speaker 2: What if life is truly too short to What if?
16:35
Speaker 2: You really need to drive your focus to be a
16:38
Speaker 2: little bit more present in the moment. Things will wait?
16:41
Speaker 2: But how many of us have gotten so caught up
16:44
Speaker 2: in the schedule, the overbooking? You can't say no. Everybody
16:49
Speaker 2: has a demand. You have to reset. What is going
16:54
Speaker 2: to look like balance for you? How many of you
16:58
Speaker 2: out there I think you've got attention depis. You must
17:01
Speaker 2: write because you just can't keep up, you can't focus,
17:03
Speaker 2: you can't concentrate when you go to bed at night,
17:05
Speaker 2: your mind's racing. That's clearly these are all symptoms of
17:08
Speaker 2: attention deficit. Right, I've shared with you guys before, less
17:11
Speaker 2: than three to four percent of the adult population develops
17:14
Speaker 2: an adult ADHD or add it might just be because
17:21
Speaker 2: we are overstimulated by the ease of access of constantly
17:26
Speaker 2: being busy. So that's one whole thing I wanted to share.
17:29
Speaker 2: I've got such a chocoal list of really good stuff.
17:34
Speaker 2: Another great quote regain control of your mind to think, choose,
17:41
Speaker 2: and act with intention. Think about that. How intentional is
17:47
Speaker 2: your day to day? Is it being run by you
17:50
Speaker 2: or is it being run for you? And if it's
17:53
Speaker 2: being run for you, how many of you really like that?
17:56
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you can't catch up? Do you
17:58
Speaker 2: feel like there's just you're on somebody else's wheel? That
18:02
Speaker 2: can't feel too good? So how can you be more intentional?
18:06
Speaker 2: What does that look like? What does intentional look like?
18:09
Speaker 2: So to be intentional, it may start with a list
18:13
Speaker 2: of what you want to do tonight, or perhaps what
18:16
Speaker 2: you want to do differently tomorrow. And you know, everybody
18:19
Speaker 2: I talked to about journaling. Oh, I never have time.
18:22
Speaker 2: You know, some people are really good at it. I
18:24
Speaker 2: think that's part of being intentional is making the time.
18:28
Speaker 2: So start with a book, Get a notebook, Get one
18:32
Speaker 2: of the ready made journals. There's all different kinds. You
18:37
Speaker 2: can get one that's already kind of pre tabulated out.
18:40
Speaker 2: They make it so easy. This is kind of what
18:44
Speaker 2: they look like. And if you're driving and you can't see,
18:46
Speaker 2: you know, they've got things like, how did you take
18:48
Speaker 2: care of yourself today? A good thing that happened, something
18:52
Speaker 2: you're grateful for, and then so far summarize today with
18:56
Speaker 2: one word, how would you summarize today?
18:59
Speaker 1: For me?
19:01
Speaker 2: I would summarize you know, it was chock full. We
19:04
Speaker 2: were on the go, we were moving, moving, moving, moving,
19:07
Speaker 2: But I had intention, and my intention was to stay calm,
19:13
Speaker 2: stay focused. There's really not much I could do but
19:16
Speaker 2: get from point A to point B. I was at
19:19
Speaker 2: the mercy of the airlines, and then our connecting play
19:24
Speaker 2: got delayed. But it's still worked out. It's still worked out,
19:29
Speaker 2: and so there's a lot of things that aren't in control.
19:31
Speaker 2: So remember we can only focus on the things we
19:34
Speaker 2: can control. So try to make a list to start
19:38
Speaker 2: your intentions. And if you set the list of intentions,
19:42
Speaker 2: you have to be very careful not to get overwhelmed
19:45
Speaker 2: by not completing your list. But here's how I kind
19:48
Speaker 2: of try to describe it. Make a list of no
19:51
Speaker 2: more than five things with the goal of at least
19:54
Speaker 2: getting one or two things done. Then take the remaining
19:58
Speaker 2: three items and start them at the next day, and
20:02
Speaker 2: if you really feel like you have to, then add
20:06
Speaker 2: two more things. But with the expectation you're only going
20:08
Speaker 2: to get one or two things done each day. And
20:12
Speaker 2: so in doing that, maybe you can start to reset
20:16
Speaker 2: your expectations to be grateful that you have accomplished things
20:21
Speaker 2: each day, and you'll feel more satisfied. So how does
20:24
Speaker 2: this all tie into medication? So let's think about the
20:28
Speaker 2: use of medication, and again it kind of goes back
20:31
Speaker 2: to what is it that you feel you need to
20:34
Speaker 2: be on medication for. And we're kind of talking specifically
20:38
Speaker 2: about stress, anxiety, low mood, low motivation, just a general
20:44
Speaker 2: low sad feeling, or maybe self worth, just not feeling
20:49
Speaker 2: what your value is, underestimating yourself. Maybe you're upset, maybe
20:54
Speaker 2: something happened in your life, maybe you lost a job,
20:57
Speaker 2: maybe you lost a loved one, maybe you're not where
21:00
Speaker 2: you need to be or want to be in your career,
21:03
Speaker 2: maybe you've had some setbacks. So okay, so now what's
21:07
Speaker 2: the next solution. Okay, let's just take a pill. How
21:10
Speaker 2: is that going to solve your problem? And see, that's
21:13
Speaker 2: the point that I want folks to realize, Well, many
21:17
Speaker 2: of these medications are going to give you a lift
21:19
Speaker 2: of some sort or take away some of your symptoms.
21:23
Speaker 2: It's not going to be lasting unless you put the
21:26
Speaker 2: work behind it. And if you don't put the work
21:30
Speaker 2: behind it, after a while, what happens is a lot
21:33
Speaker 2: of people will need a higher dose or their provider
21:37
Speaker 2: will say, well, if it's not working, let's go higher,
21:40
Speaker 2: or let's try another medication. Again. It takes me back
21:43
Speaker 2: to how is that solving the problem. So see, with psychiatry,
21:49
Speaker 2: the original method of studying the brain to help heel
21:54
Speaker 2: the individuals this if you will or issue was to
21:59
Speaker 2: work behavioral changes. Medication was meant to lift the mood
22:06
Speaker 2: while we took some time in therapy. Lots of different
22:09
Speaker 2: types of therapy out there, and all of them have
22:12
Speaker 2: lots of benefits, but it wasn't meant to just slap
22:15
Speaker 2: a pill and say, hey, here's the pill. You feel better.
22:19
Speaker 2: And I can't tell you how many times I have
22:21
Speaker 2: patients come in, Yeah, you gave me this medication. I
22:23
Speaker 2: don't feel better, okay, And you know my next question is, well,
22:27
Speaker 2: what have you been doing? And a lot of times
22:30
Speaker 2: people will do a really good job because you have
22:32
Speaker 2: to work on the whole person, the whole being that
22:35
Speaker 2: talks about sleep and that could be an issue. That
22:38
Speaker 2: talks about what are you eating, what's getting into your body,
22:41
Speaker 2: and that talks about movement. And so if you are
22:44
Speaker 2: not really doing anything in those areas and we give
22:48
Speaker 2: you a medication, chances are you're not going to feel
22:51
Speaker 2: so so much better. You may feel a little something.
22:54
Speaker 2: But here's the whole whole idea, And this is where
22:57
Speaker 2: I talk about, how can you get off the medication
23:00
Speaker 2: your wheel? Just try me for like the next two weeks.
23:04
Speaker 2: Really look at what you're putting into your body. Try
23:07
Speaker 2: to make sure you're hydrating with some good fluids. It
23:10
Speaker 2: could be water, it could be some kind of amino
23:13
Speaker 2: acid or ranch chain amino acid. It could be an
23:15
Speaker 2: electrolyte drink, protein powder, protein pre made drinks. You want
23:20
Speaker 2: to really add protein to your diet. Your brain optimizes
23:25
Speaker 2: and really functions very well when you increase your protein intake.
23:29
Speaker 2: It functions really well when you add a few other things,
23:31
Speaker 2: but as far as protein, if you start adding protein
23:35
Speaker 2: and really good hydration, you're going to start to feel
23:38
Speaker 2: a little calmer, a little more focused, a little more organized.
23:43
Speaker 2: Now is it enough to say, oh, I'm feeling great.
23:46
Speaker 2: Maybe not, but you got to start somewhere, especially if
23:49
Speaker 2: you haven't really been taking good care of your health.
23:52
Speaker 2: The next thing is movement. And we've talked about this
23:55
Speaker 2: lots of times, but really good movement is essential to
24:00
Speaker 2: getting all of those fluids moving in your body, your
24:02
Speaker 2: cardiovascular system, with your blood flow, your lymph system, your
24:07
Speaker 2: limbic system, all of those things. You know. And your
24:09
Speaker 2: body is made up of over seventy percent water fluid,
24:14
Speaker 2: so if you are not hydrating, you're not flushing out
24:18
Speaker 2: the toxins. Now, on a kind of a fun side note,
24:22
Speaker 2: you know, we talked about the whole why why is
24:25
Speaker 2: thilanol not a good thing to take, not just for
24:27
Speaker 2: pregnant women, but thilanol, especially if you overuse the anti
24:31
Speaker 2: inflammatories tileanol turns off your glucothione production, which is your
24:35
Speaker 2: master detoxifier in your body for twenty four hours. So
24:39
Speaker 2: why do I want you to stay healthy and well
24:41
Speaker 2: and hydrate and fuel Because if I can optimize the
24:45
Speaker 2: machine of your brain and your body. Now, if we
24:48
Speaker 2: add in a medication or you're taking medication, you're going
24:50
Speaker 2: to feel better. So keep that in mind. You know
24:53
Speaker 2: the other other little tidbit I learned this week. You know,
24:57
Speaker 2: brain health really is a human right. You have right
25:00
Speaker 2: to feel good, and why not gain control over yourself
25:03
Speaker 2: in being able to do that. Now, a lot of
25:06
Speaker 2: people struggle in the evening, more people than that. I
25:09
Speaker 2: find anxiety goes up at night. Some people have anxiety
25:12
Speaker 2: throughout the day, but at night, when you're trying to
25:14
Speaker 2: settle down, your anxiety goes up. So this is where
25:17
Speaker 2: you need to have some kind of movement and activity. Walk,
25:21
Speaker 2: go to the gym, do some physical weightlifting, journal, do
25:26
Speaker 2: a project, do a craft, get your mind busy at night.
25:30
Speaker 2: Make a list in your journal of things that you
25:33
Speaker 2: want to accomplish during the week, with the goal of
25:36
Speaker 2: one to do things for the next day and start
25:39
Speaker 2: acting upon it. Now, sleep is a whole other genre.
25:43
Speaker 2: The book that I just ordered is called Say good
25:47
Speaker 2: Night to Insomnia. And I'll pull up the author too,
25:50
Speaker 2: because I want to make sure you guys have his name.
25:54
Speaker 2: No disclaimers on it yet, because I haven't read it,
25:57
Speaker 2: but it came highly regard and I always get people
26:02
Speaker 2: asking me so often about what book or what can
26:06
Speaker 2: I do? And here's the here's my author. I have
26:12
Speaker 2: it here somewhere when you want to look up Amazon,
26:15
Speaker 2: let's see. Maybe it already, king, Well, I'll be looking
26:17
Speaker 2: up the author. I think it's Jacob Jacob something. But
26:21
Speaker 2: the name of the book is stay good Night to Insomnia.
26:24
Speaker 2: And if I can find it, I never thought it
26:28
Speaker 2: would be so difficult. Let's see, I'll find it say
26:31
Speaker 2: good night. Maybe some of you guys have found it already.
26:34
Speaker 2: Some folks are so quick say good night. Here it
26:37
Speaker 2: goes Greg Jacobs. So if you're looking, if you're looking
26:43
Speaker 2: for the book, it's Greg Jacobs. So. Neuro inflammation, that's
26:49
Speaker 2: the other thing I wanted to talk about. How is
26:51
Speaker 2: it that we can feel sad, we can feel anxious,
26:56
Speaker 2: low mood. Did you ever stop to think what causes
26:59
Speaker 2: some these symptoms of anxiety besides the ones of like
27:03
Speaker 2: an upcoming deadline, you've got stress in your life, you're
27:06
Speaker 2: worried about something. Inflammation, So when your body's inflamed, when
27:12
Speaker 2: you feel like you're not feeling your best self. Many
27:15
Speaker 2: people can tell when you're feeling inflamed. Sometimes people even
27:18
Speaker 2: physically your little puffy, your fingers, your legs feel swollen.
27:23
Speaker 2: You may have different challenges. You may when you breathe,
27:26
Speaker 2: you may feel a little congested. How about when your
27:29
Speaker 2: head gets kind of stuffed up, or you get really
27:32
Speaker 2: stuffed and kind of a runny nose, and it's almost
27:34
Speaker 2: like if you've ever sneezed a couple times and you
27:36
Speaker 2: get that little watery, runny feeling. You know that's a precursor.
27:40
Speaker 2: That's like an inflammatory response. And so when you are
27:43
Speaker 2: inflamed and your body's inflamed, you're not just inflamed. Oh
27:47
Speaker 2: thank you. There's the book say good Night to insomn You.
27:50
Speaker 2: When your body's inflamed, it's not just your body, it's
27:54
Speaker 2: around your brain. So when your brain is inflamed, that
27:58
Speaker 2: inflammatory response also sometimes can trigger negative feelings. So this
28:04
Speaker 2: all goes back to no, I know you can't all
28:08
Speaker 2: shout out to me, but if you're out there. What
28:11
Speaker 2: do you think triggers back with that inflammation? What kind
28:14
Speaker 2: of symptoms and mood and behavior if your brain's inflamed,
28:19
Speaker 2: How do you feel when you have a really bad headcold?
28:21
Speaker 2: Kind of lousy, quiet, low, just want to go to bed. Well,
28:27
Speaker 2: when your brain's inflamed and you don't have a head
28:30
Speaker 2: cold and you've got those low, sad, anxious feelings, you
28:35
Speaker 2: may have internal inflammation. And if we can correct the
28:39
Speaker 2: internal inflammation, think about how that can really affect your symptoms.
28:44
Speaker 2: So I don't know that folks really spend enough time
28:47
Speaker 2: thinking about these things. They go and they say, Oh,
28:49
Speaker 2: I don't feel good, I'm anxious, I'm stressed. I'm depressed.
28:52
Speaker 2: I've just I can't concentrate, i can't focus, I've got
28:54
Speaker 2: to work harder. I've got all these demands. I need
28:56
Speaker 2: something to keep me going. And we get prozac packs, well, mutrie,
29:02
Speaker 2: adderall you name it? Is it really essential? Can we
29:06
Speaker 2: not find ways to heal our body first? Now, how
29:09
Speaker 2: do we get off these medications? Well, that's something that
29:12
Speaker 2: you want to do with who haven't prescribed it for you,
29:14
Speaker 2: But it's certainly worth considering tapering down and having a conversation.
29:21
Speaker 2: Maybe get a therapist. Talk. Therapy is often very underrelated. Ooh, am,
29:29
Speaker 2: I having trouble. Let's see, can you guys all hear me?
29:33
Speaker 2: Seems to be my server is not working so good? Interesting,
29:40
Speaker 2: It's good, Okay, I'm just getting these messages from my
29:45
Speaker 2: computer saying your audio only. So folks don't underestimate inflammation.
29:51
Speaker 2: And if you can think about inflammation, like when you're sick,
29:55
Speaker 2: you can have internal inflammation and not really know. However,
30:00
Speaker 2: or the symptoms are anxiousness, low mood, lethargy, the te tired, sleepy,
30:08
Speaker 2: sometimes even insomnia because your brain is inflamed. So that
30:13
Speaker 2: leads us back to all roads to good eating, good health,
30:17
Speaker 2: good movement. And I think that's something that a lot
30:20
Speaker 2: of folks get too busy to do. Nine times out
30:23
Speaker 2: of ten, I would say, every nine out of ten
30:24
Speaker 2: patients when I try to get them off to a
30:26
Speaker 2: good start with the triangle of sleep, activity and nutrition,
30:31
Speaker 2: the activity, nine out of ten people tell me, well,
30:34
Speaker 2: you know, I'm just so busy. I get up, I
30:36
Speaker 2: got to go to work, I take the kids to school,
30:37
Speaker 2: I get home, I pick the kids up, got to
30:39
Speaker 2: take the kids here, got to do this got to
30:40
Speaker 2: do that. I'm in school, My days are full. You
30:44
Speaker 2: have to be intentional, and if you're not intentional, all
30:48
Speaker 2: these things to get your brain and your body to
30:51
Speaker 2: heal are are just not going to work for you.
30:55
Speaker 2: Now here's one of the cool things. You know, a
30:57
Speaker 2: lot of these meds can become very neurotoxic, neurotoxic in
31:02
Speaker 2: a way that over time, if you haven't found a
31:06
Speaker 2: way to heal emotionally and behaviorally, higher and higher doses.
31:10
Speaker 2: There's very few meds in the psyche world that don't
31:15
Speaker 2: cause some type of side effects. There's many side effects.
31:18
Speaker 2: First of all, you got weaking. How many people like that?
31:22
Speaker 2: I would say nine out of ten don't like weighting?
31:24
Speaker 2: And then there's sexual side effects. How many of you
31:27
Speaker 2: like that? And it comes on and before you know it,
31:30
Speaker 2: you're like your libido just goes weigh down. And then
31:33
Speaker 2: you're on these meds and then how do you get off?
31:35
Speaker 2: There's also other side effects and depending on the medication,
31:38
Speaker 2: you can have twitches, you can have restless leg you
31:42
Speaker 2: can have gut issues, GI issues, elimination issues. So for
31:47
Speaker 2: every action, for every medication action, there's a reaction. So
31:53
Speaker 2: my question to all of you is why can't we
31:56
Speaker 2: try to optimize our body and then see what's left
32:00
Speaker 2: over or lacking and then let's readdress it. And I've
32:04
Speaker 2: talked several different shows. I don't know where you know,
32:07
Speaker 2: you may be in your town to yet to find
32:11
Speaker 2: a place that does TMS transcranial magnetic therapy, but I
32:15
Speaker 2: will tell you that is one of the single best
32:17
Speaker 2: ways to help to get off medication, stay off medication,
32:22
Speaker 2: and optimize your brain. And we'll definitely have to have
32:25
Speaker 2: another guest back on so we can kind of dialogue
32:27
Speaker 2: a little bit more about the TMS therapy. That's something
32:30
Speaker 2: I do at one of the offices out here in
32:32
Speaker 2: Jacksonville and Pondividri, but we've also got places across the
32:36
Speaker 2: United States, and TMS is a very healthy way to
32:41
Speaker 2: stimulate your electrical impulses in the brain. It's not electric
32:45
Speaker 2: shock therapy, it's magnetic therapy. And it kind of works,
32:49
Speaker 2: if you will, almost as if you had a charger
32:53
Speaker 2: to your phone and you had one of those automatic
32:56
Speaker 2: chargers that you put your phone on top of and
32:59
Speaker 2: it refills the tank of your charge. It does it
33:03
Speaker 2: to the brain and it keeps your electrical firing at
33:06
Speaker 2: its optimum performance, and that is something that we're going
33:11
Speaker 2: to talk about in the coming weeks because I think
33:13
Speaker 2: it's just one of the most exciting things out there.
33:15
Speaker 2: We have treated so many folks and it's been approved
33:19
Speaker 2: for the FDA probably for about nine little over nine
33:22
Speaker 2: years now. There's well over four hundred thousand research based
33:26
Speaker 2: test articles on how it has optimized and helped to heal.
33:31
Speaker 2: It's been approved for kids down to the age of fifteen,
33:35
Speaker 2: and we can optimize just about anything from anxiety, depression, overthinking,
33:42
Speaker 2: memory loss, cognition, dementia, migraines. And the best part of
33:48
Speaker 2: it is because everybody says, well, that's kind of weird,
33:50
Speaker 2: it's like sci fi. Is it safe. It's extraordinarily safe
33:54
Speaker 2: and you don't get the side effects like you do
33:57
Speaker 2: with medication. And the best benefit is when you do it.
34:00
Speaker 2: It takes about thirty six sessions to do. It's just
34:03
Speaker 2: like you go to the gym. You go in each day,
34:06
Speaker 2: you get your thirty six sessions and you optimize, and
34:11
Speaker 2: after thirty six sessions you also find you've got optimization
34:15
Speaker 2: of all your other neurotransmitters into neurotransmitters hormone neurotransmitters, and
34:21
Speaker 2: you find that your elimination is better, your digestion can
34:24
Speaker 2: be better, you might not suffer from frequent headaches any longer, pain, neuropathy,
34:31
Speaker 2: all those things tend to be better. So that's something
34:35
Speaker 2: that we're going to spend a show just talking about.
34:37
Speaker 2: But I really want to get you all thinking, and
34:39
Speaker 2: we've had some great questions. Let's see, oh, are there
34:44
Speaker 2: better times of the day to do certain things for
34:47
Speaker 2: better results. Well that's a good question too. You know
34:51
Speaker 2: what time the day I think has to be what's
34:53
Speaker 2: best for you. Some people are mourning people, and you're
34:56
Speaker 2: going to have to test yourself out. You really, let's
35:00
Speaker 2: just start with sleep. You want to get on the
35:02
Speaker 2: right circadian rhythm. Now, a lot of folks work nights,
35:05
Speaker 2: and that's really tough, you know that that circadian rhythm.
35:08
Speaker 2: You've kind of got to come up with a better
35:10
Speaker 2: way to balance your night and days. But when you
35:13
Speaker 2: gotta work, you gotta work night shift. It's really hot hard.
35:16
Speaker 2: A lot of folks will just try to stay on
35:17
Speaker 2: and even night shift and not do nights one day
35:20
Speaker 2: and wake up and do days the next. But for
35:22
Speaker 2: the sake of saying if you're on day shift, the
35:25
Speaker 2: best way to reset your circadian rhythm is to get
35:28
Speaker 2: up every morning and go look at the sunrise, watch
35:32
Speaker 2: the light start to lift where the darkness becomes light.
35:35
Speaker 2: I'm not saying look at the sun, but watch the
35:37
Speaker 2: sunlight the light of the day. Do that for about
35:41
Speaker 2: four to five days, and that should really help to reset.
35:43
Speaker 2: But from there, you know, find what days you feel
35:47
Speaker 2: your best. If you're a morning person and like to
35:50
Speaker 2: go for a walk, then get up a little early,
35:52
Speaker 2: get your walk in, get your fuel, get your protein drink.
35:56
Speaker 2: Take the protein drink, drink it on your walk. If
35:58
Speaker 2: you're working out in the morning and you have I
36:00
Speaker 2: have your workout and have your protein drink when you're done.
36:03
Speaker 2: Maybe you prefer to walk and work out at night.
36:06
Speaker 2: It's really up to you. But you've got to find
36:09
Speaker 2: ways to move, rest, nurture and be active, you know,
36:15
Speaker 2: and you've got to fit it all in. And a
36:17
Speaker 2: lot of these things don't take a whole lot of
36:19
Speaker 2: time either, you know, if you just carve out ten
36:23
Speaker 2: to fifteen minutes first and make that the time that
36:26
Speaker 2: you go do some mindset meditation, walk around your property,
36:30
Speaker 2: go sit somewhere in a quiet room, do some aromatherapy,
36:34
Speaker 2: and then you take another fifteen minutes. And here's the
36:37
Speaker 2: thing with exercise. I know some people really hate it.
36:40
Speaker 2: I have found that it's my best recess ever. And
36:43
Speaker 2: I don't get my workout in. I get a little crispy.
36:48
Speaker 2: Make it fun for you. You know, maybe you don't
36:50
Speaker 2: like to run, but maybe you like to sit on
36:53
Speaker 2: one of those exercise balls. You can sit on an
36:56
Speaker 2: exercise ball and literally do curls, abdominal extra sizes. You
37:00
Speaker 2: can put two free weights in your hand, you can
37:02
Speaker 2: do free weights, you can do leg lifts, and you
37:05
Speaker 2: can have fun doing it on an exercise ball. And
37:08
Speaker 2: everybody I know has YouTube, and I can't tell you
37:11
Speaker 2: one over the other. But if you google YouTube and
37:14
Speaker 2: put on exercise videos, pilates videos, stretch videos. You can
37:18
Speaker 2: even put in chair aerobics. You can do a cardiovascular
37:23
Speaker 2: workout sitting down, so there's not anybody regardless of your
37:27
Speaker 2: fitness level, it can't do something physical. And if you
37:31
Speaker 2: do something physical each and every day without medication, you
37:37
Speaker 2: are going to release some adorphins that are going to
37:40
Speaker 2: improve your mood. It may not change your circumstances. But
37:44
Speaker 2: we need to give your brain and your body the
37:47
Speaker 2: best chance of success to feel good and create this neuromodulation. Now,
37:54
Speaker 2: what is neuromodulation because I wanted to throw that word
37:56
Speaker 2: out at you. It is the optimization of your brain
38:00
Speaker 2: independently doing the best job it can for itself. It's
38:04
Speaker 2: just like if you take your car in for a
38:06
Speaker 2: tune up, or you go and you get your gas,
38:09
Speaker 2: or you get your oil changed. When you get the car,
38:11
Speaker 2: doesn't it feel like your car is a little perk here?
38:14
Speaker 2: Who knows what they do to my vehicle when I
38:16
Speaker 2: go in for a tune up. But when I pick
38:18
Speaker 2: it up, I feel like, oh, it must be running better,
38:21
Speaker 2: and I feel like it drives a little faster. I
38:24
Speaker 2: feel like I'm saving a little gas. Now, that may
38:27
Speaker 2: be real, and that may be just in my head,
38:29
Speaker 2: but when you do it to your body, you're going
38:32
Speaker 2: to feel a whole lot better. And you know, we
38:35
Speaker 2: talk about a lot of different things. I'm trying to
38:38
Speaker 2: see if there's anything else that. Oh, I wanted to
38:41
Speaker 2: give you this quote from Freud. Sigmund Freud, what is
38:45
Speaker 2: good mental health? Mental wellness? It's when you have love
38:50
Speaker 2: and work, and you love what you do in all
38:54
Speaker 2: aspects of your life. So if you love what you do,
38:58
Speaker 2: love being with friends, love being with family, love doing
39:01
Speaker 2: what you do, and you get paid for it, then
39:04
Speaker 2: you have the best balance in your life. But if
39:06
Speaker 2: you don't love what you're creating, you're doing, you're going
39:10
Speaker 2: to have some negative emotions and negative mindset because you're
39:13
Speaker 2: in that resentment phase. And so we really don't want that.
39:18
Speaker 2: But in any case, I wanted to share that, and
39:21
Speaker 2: I also wanted to share, Oh, I want to make
39:23
Speaker 2: sure I answer all the questions. Yes, so times a day.
39:28
Speaker 2: We kind of touched on Really, you got to do
39:31
Speaker 2: what's best for you because, like I said, some people
39:33
Speaker 2: work nights, but definitely commit to movement every day and
39:37
Speaker 2: at least start out three times a week. Start out
39:39
Speaker 2: fueling your body, start out putting good things in. It's
39:42
Speaker 2: just like your car. How many of you would cut
39:45
Speaker 2: yourself short and put water in your gas tank. You know,
39:49
Speaker 2: you're low on cash and you just want to get
39:50
Speaker 2: that car to run, and you just you're just going
39:52
Speaker 2: to put water in the gas tank. Will that work? Now?
39:55
Speaker 2: So then don't put crap in your body. You know,
39:58
Speaker 2: It's okay to have a little you know, mac and
40:01
Speaker 2: cheese every now and then. It's okay to have a
40:02
Speaker 2: little bread every now and then. But if you're not
40:05
Speaker 2: fueling your body, it is going to show how you feel,
40:09
Speaker 2: how you move, and in your sleep. Okay. The last
40:13
Speaker 2: thing I wanted to share with you guys today, This
40:16
Speaker 2: was a book that we had to read for our
40:18
Speaker 2: conference this week. And outside of my books which I
40:22
Speaker 2: think will help you, this is the book from Angela Duckworth.
40:24
Speaker 2: It's called Grit, The Power of Passion and Perseverance, and
40:29
Speaker 2: really the word is something that I think you all
40:32
Speaker 2: need to attain. You got to get some grit in
40:35
Speaker 2: your life. Nothing you do comes easy, and if it does,
40:39
Speaker 2: you're blessed. Most of us have to work at things.
40:42
Speaker 2: And if you are not feeling your best and feeling
40:45
Speaker 2: that you are where you want to be, your body
40:50
Speaker 2: is not where it wants to be, your mindset is
40:53
Speaker 2: not where it wants to be, then you need to
40:55
Speaker 2: get a little blood, sweat and tears, get some grit
40:59
Speaker 2: and work through what you want. But put some energy
41:05
Speaker 2: and focus into what you're doing. If you want to
41:08
Speaker 2: lose ten pounds, do you think you're going to get
41:10
Speaker 2: there by sitting there reading a book. Now, get a
41:13
Speaker 2: walk pad and read your book while you're on the walkpad.
41:17
Speaker 2: If you like to read, or get audible and listen
41:21
Speaker 2: to a book while you're walking or are on an elliptical. Okay,
41:27
Speaker 2: any goals you set, you have to put a little
41:29
Speaker 2: grit into it. And I had read this book years ago,
41:33
Speaker 2: But the whole idea behind it is to really just
41:36
Speaker 2: question yourself and challenge yourself with some of the things
41:40
Speaker 2: that you really want to do. You're not going to
41:43
Speaker 2: get there without without a little effort, blood, sweat and
41:45
Speaker 2: tears and work and if it's really worth doing. Her
41:49
Speaker 2: little buzzword is how gritty are you? And when you
41:52
Speaker 2: talk about things, especially in life and in leadership and
41:56
Speaker 2: driving yourself with goals, like you know, new ideas and
41:59
Speaker 2: projects sometimes distract me. Setbacks don't discourage me. I don't
42:03
Speaker 2: give up easily. I often set a goal, but I
42:06
Speaker 2: later choose to pursue a different one. I'm a hard worker.
42:09
Speaker 2: I finish what I begin. My interests change from year
42:12
Speaker 2: to year. I'm diligent. I never give up. I've been
42:15
Speaker 2: obsessed with a certain idea for a short time, but
42:18
Speaker 2: I've lost interest. I have to overcome setbacks to conquer
42:21
Speaker 2: a challenge, and so on the scale from one to five.
42:26
Speaker 2: If it's not at all like you or very much
42:28
Speaker 2: like you, it tells you how gritty you are. So
42:31
Speaker 2: for today, what I want you all to know is
42:35
Speaker 2: medications are only meant to be a lift, a source
42:41
Speaker 2: to help you get the behavioral changes that you need.
42:45
Speaker 2: We really don't want to have you on them forever.
42:48
Speaker 2: And if you're on them and you're not feeling and
42:51
Speaker 2: doing your best, you've got to start working on you
42:55
Speaker 2: fuel your body, work on decreasing your inflammation, and focus
43:02
Speaker 2: on ways to improve your mood. And then if sleep
43:06
Speaker 2: is still something you're struggling with, it should improve as
43:09
Speaker 2: you fuel your body and you get more activity and
43:11
Speaker 2: you focus on priorities of things that you like. But
43:14
Speaker 2: overworking and over booking are not ways to find a
43:19
Speaker 2: pill to solve the problem. Oh and I do let
43:23
Speaker 2: me add this. Thanks so much for putting that in there.
43:25
Speaker 2: But it's true. Having grit means possessing a combination of
43:29
Speaker 2: passion and perseverance for achieving your long term goals, even
43:33
Speaker 2: when facing adversity, your setbacks and it does. It involves stamina,
43:37
Speaker 2: consistent effort in a chosen direction, and it's a steadfast
43:41
Speaker 2: commitment to your ultimate concern that organizes and gives meaning
43:46
Speaker 2: to your actions over extended period such as years or
43:50
Speaker 2: even over a lifetime. And that's where we are, folks.
43:53
Speaker 2: We're on a journey. Our journey is to optimize ourselves
43:57
Speaker 2: and hear, the things that we talk about on Wellness
43:59
Speaker 2: and Sense sort are to try to bring some optimism,
44:03
Speaker 2: some relatability, some real down to earth tips and tools.
44:09
Speaker 2: Nothing that's out there is going to be so hard
44:12
Speaker 2: and so difficult. Get some energy patches. These x forty
44:16
Speaker 2: nine and X thirty nine. These were one of the
44:18
Speaker 2: tools that I used when I was recovering from COVID.
44:22
Speaker 2: I've talked about all kinds of supplements and things like
44:25
Speaker 2: ned and ANAC. But pop on to the QRS code.
44:30
Speaker 2: That's a quick way to get my link to my website.
44:34
Speaker 2: And also if you're interested in the information we talked
44:36
Speaker 2: about today. But I really appreciate you taking the time
44:40
Speaker 2: to listen in. You know, when we talk about things
44:43
Speaker 2: to optimize, these are things you can do with yourself,
44:47
Speaker 2: by yourself, for yourself. But if you want to grow.
44:52
Speaker 2: It's never a bad idea to reach out to someone
44:54
Speaker 2: who wants to help you holistically mind, body, spirit. We
44:58
Speaker 2: do that at Magnoia Behavior Real Wellness and help you
45:01
Speaker 2: all do that throughout the country if you need recommendations
45:04
Speaker 2: or suggestions of where to go in your area, but
45:07
Speaker 2: get a good coach, get a good therapist, get a
45:10
Speaker 2: good provider, somebody that's going to be open to help
45:14
Speaker 2: you on your journey and to not keep you locked
45:17
Speaker 2: on medications forever. And look into TMS. If you have
45:21
Speaker 2: questions about that, feel free to reach out. I can
45:23
Speaker 2: also direct you around the country as well to get
45:26
Speaker 2: more information. But I want to see you all be
45:30
Speaker 2: your best self. That's through optimization of mind, body and spirit,
45:34
Speaker 2: through great nutrition, great sleep, great activity or exercise, and
45:39
Speaker 2: hopefully a little bit of what we shared today is
45:42
Speaker 2: something that's going to help all of you. I did
45:44
Speaker 2: want to give a shout out again. We are part
45:46
Speaker 2: of the movement to recognize, remember, and grow Charlie Kirk's
