Here today with Matthew Noble with the practical practitioner. What
0:03
else do people need to know? So much we could dive into. Realistically,
0:07
I think my, my statement would be
0:12
don't accept the status quo. Ask questions, Be
0:15
educated, get educated, do research and learn as much as you
0:19
can about yourself and what you need. And
0:23
don't just accept, you know, what someone else may be
0:26
doing that's working for them, that's great. But you are unique. You are
0:30
genetically different than everyone. You have different predispositions, you have
0:34
different responses. And as a result of that, health
0:38
needs to be treated on an individual basis. There's only one you,
0:41
and there's only one plan for you. And I would invite you
0:45
to figure out what that is. Even if it's not with me. I will
0:49
say that with this particular stuff that we're doing with genetic
0:52
integration and a lot of the things that we've discussed, it is
0:56
proprietary intellectually property owned by what we do. So
1:00
a lot of no one else really can do it.
1:03
There are, there's always other things out there. I'm not saying we're the
1:07
end all, be all. We're just doing our best with where we're at and trying
1:10
to make a difference and empower. So just
1:14
my, my biggest takeaway would just don't accept
1:18
what is. Ask questions and learn. And I would say, you
1:21
know, as a, if there's any MDs listening, I know as a patient,
1:26
I every. Especially as some woman who hits,
1:30
you know, when you're perimenopausal. I mean,
1:33
forget it. It's like you walk in and doctors
1:37
offer you. And really sweet people who
1:41
are, you know, seem to be very wanting to help. And this has
1:45
been in different cities because I haven't just lived in Reno. I've lived in Atlanta
1:48
prior to this too. And it's just like, you. Can you qualify for a drug?
1:52
Yeah. I mean, you don't need it. And this is a quote. Well, you don't
1:55
need it, but you qualify. And this is the face. It's just happy.
1:59
Like it's. It's Halloween and I'm giving out candy
2:03
and that's. And maybe some women are going to be fine with
2:06
that. But if we could have some. We need some
2:10
options. And we need the option of going for someone like
2:13
me who's like, I want the most natural type of food. And tell me,
2:17
how do you just give me, give me the supplement list and the food
2:21
list. I mean, for a while, if you're busy, it's just like, I would just
2:24
go with that, but I'm not gonna. In this last visit,
2:28
I had. I said no to, I think three drugs. And finally she's like, no,
2:31
you have to have this one. You have to. And it was a topical
2:35
cream. So I'm like, okay, whatever, just give the. I looked, you know, I took
2:38
the prescription, I looked at it, and it says, will probably
2:42
cause cancer. Like, well,
2:46
for something I don't need. Yeah. So we want
2:50
another something. Options. Yeah, there's. There's a lot
2:54
of gray area when it comes to that. You know,
2:57
through. Through my own experience with my amazing wife, you know, I
3:01
say this with the utmost respect. We have
3:05
been going through perimenopause because it's not just her, it's both
3:09
of us. We are going through it together. I have
3:12
learned so much about that topic and about
3:17
how misrepresented it is and how many holes are
3:20
in the application of the treatment. It is sc.
3:24
So you remember the MTHFR we were talking about?
3:28
Yeah. That is super, super important to
3:32
perimenopause and to hormone balance in women. Okay. So
3:36
we did a genetic mapping on my wife. She is what's called double
3:40
heterozygous. That means that she has about a 70
3:43
to 80% methylation pathway impairment, genetically
3:46
predisposed. And technically she should have never been born
3:51
because the cells just don't work that way.
3:55
So because of that, she,
3:58
like most people, you know, started having these things, went
4:02
to the doctor, and the old fart
4:05
traditional medicine goes, you need estrogen because
4:09
you are not making it. That's not always true.
4:13
And I am not telling you not to do that, but I will tell you
4:17
to question it. Because if you go to your doctor and
4:20
they just start shoving you on estrogen, I would ask you to do a
4:24
full hormone panel and do a methylation panel and find out how
4:28
your body is going to detox. Because we had to put her
4:32
through an estrogen detox for a year. It absolutely
4:35
destroyed her. Oh, my. The rebuild we
4:39
have had to do on her because that doctor did not know what they were
4:43
doing is infuriating. And she suffered like she
4:46
should have never had to. So if you are
4:50
MTHFR positive in any fashion, your body is going
4:53
to have an issue regulating and detoxing estrogen.
4:57
So if your doctor just blindly puts you on estrogen and you have
5:01
impairment at MTHFR you could be in for a
5:05
really bad ride. And most of these doctors don't know
5:08
that. They don't even know to check for it. You know,
5:12
genetically, there's a lot of things where we work in cardiology a lot where, you
5:16
know, you'll go and they'll, they'll do the, you know,
5:20
blood pressure cuff and say, oh, you have high blood pressure. Okay,
5:23
but do you really. What you don't see is that person's
5:27
consuming 500 milligrams of caffeine. Well, they're a slow
5:30
metabolizer of caffeine because when you genetically map and you look at the gene
5:34
CYP1A2 and it tells you that they don't metabolize caffeine
5:38
very well and that if they go above 200
5:41
and that's arbitrary for the person, if they take in 200
5:45
milligrams of caffeine or more, guess what? Now you're getting a false reading that
5:49
they have high blood pressure when they really don't. They just need to stop drinking
5:52
too much caffeine. There's a lot of things
5:56
that are insane like that your genetics are going to give us insights like that
6:00
through the clinics and being able to say,
6:04
you know, fasting, like there's a big thing right now, trending. Oh,
6:07
autophagy. Okay, great. Again, mthfr. If you're MTHFR
6:11
positive, autophagy is not good. Good for you. It can give you a cellular
6:14
storm. Autophagy is designed to fast and it lets your body
6:18
kick into its cellular defense and it cleans out what's called senescent cells or
6:22
dead and dying cells, and it'll attack the diseases. Okay, that's great. But if
6:25
your methylation pathways are impaired, you don't detox those
6:29
things. Guess what happens when you get into autophagy and you break down toxins. You
6:33
reabsorb them into your body and now you're worse. Oh, gosh.
6:38
So there's a lot of reason why these things matter in clinical
6:42
data because you can just be blindly following something and going, oh,
6:45
I'm doing a 72 hour fast. I spoke with someone the other day. We
6:49
went through hers, her, her genetic panel and looking at the FTO
6:53
gene and, and really understanding that,
6:56
you know, fasting over more than 12 hours for her is just not good.
7:02
You know, have you found with women in general? Because I, I,
7:05
I just had this conversation over Thanksgiving because I have a nephew who
7:10
on fasting and so then my brother and his wife were
7:13
fasting and so we were having that conversation with,
7:17
we've heard, but not sure. Have you heard anything about that? With
7:20
women, fast, less.
7:24
Varies. I will tell you in perimenopause,
7:28
specifically fasting can be really, really dangerous because of the stress on
7:32
the body. You know, everybody's different. I, I would say
7:35
I would, I wouldn't recommend it for the masses. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be
7:39
good for some individuals. But again, it would really or would be
7:42
determined by their genetic deviations, if any. If you have
7:46
no deviation. If we're looking at a genetic map and we're
7:50
looking at mthfr and comti, cbs, mtr, those types of
7:53
things, looking at your ADPQ
7:57
and your CYP1, A2 and your FTO genes, things like that,
8:01
I would caution against it for people that have deviations
8:04
there. And statistically right now that's
8:08
estimated around 80% of Americans. So I would say through
8:11
that would probably be about 60% of the females in this country,
8:15
if not higher. We don't know. We don't have, like, empirical
8:19
data because the clinical studies just aren't there because they just
8:23
aren't allowed to be done. But,
8:26
you know, estimations based on what we can see right now, that's,
8:30
that's a, A really large number of, you
8:34
know, females in America are going to struggle with that. If you want
8:37
the trends of, you
8:41
know, spontaneous abortions, people have miscarriages, that's
8:45
kind of a trend. And you can kind of look how those things have
8:48
trended up over the last 10, 20 years. That's kind of an
8:52
indicator of what's going on. You know, all of the things
8:56
where we're seeing, you know, injuries from certain shots and things like that
8:59
have gone through the roof, you know, and the
9:04
implications of following the
9:07
blind application of those things is getting more and more
9:11
inherently dangerous by the year.
9:15
Yeah, I can. And this is really why I, I think I like
9:19
the idea of really specific testing too. Yeah.
9:22
You know, and I've had, you know, and this thing, the thing is, when you're
9:25
misdiagnosed or they miss things, I mean, that can cause people
9:29
to just die and. Oh, absolutely, absolutely, you can.
9:33
Well, is very high in America because of those types of
9:37
things. I can't tell you how many people, they go in for what's, quote,
9:40
unquote, routine and they don't come back out because there's
9:44
unseen things. You know, the amount of
9:48
warnings and restrictions on, you know, some of these medications
9:52
is astronomical. It's like, it's. The side effects of it are worse than the thing
9:56
that it's designed to treat, like, you know, Nexium. I used to
9:59
take Nexium when it first came out when I was younger. And I'm like,
10:03
I feel worse when I'm taking it. I'd rather just have the acid reflux. I
10:06
have the worst migraines. I'm like, I can fix this. So I used to have
10:10
acid reflux because I didn't understand what was causing it. Well then I figured out
10:13
what was causing it. With the way that my body works cellularly and I
10:17
don't have it anymore. It's magic. I just stopped the cause. I don't
10:21
need a prescription drug to take down in there and, and stop these
10:25
things. Now. There are things with like acid
10:28
reducers, you know, they are good for allergens and things here and there.
10:32
But, you know, there's just, there's mechanisms for everything. There's good and
10:35
bad. And I'm not saying that we don't need medications. And some
10:39
sometimes they're life saving and they're great and I'm grateful for them, but
10:43
we don't need them on the scale that they're on. And this is a
10:47
very scary statistic. I'll throw a
10:51
couple out. 95% of all of the
10:54
prescription drugs in the world are used by Americans.
11:00
We, we represent 5% of the kind of the world,
11:03
5% of this world. We consume
11:07
95 of all prescription drugs on this earth.
11:10
You know, and I can tell you from the, from who I know,
11:15
they just, it's just normal. You just do it. It's social
11:19
norming. It's been taught that way. Social. It's such social
11:23
norming. Yeah, that's. I hadn't heard that statistic.
11:26
That is, you know, you just look at the statistics
11:30
and you're like, this is not okay. Like, you know, cancer rates in
11:34
Iowa being so high. And you know, I'm there when they first
11:38
start spraying Roundup and buried the
11:41
relatives and nobody benefits from this.
11:45
It doesn't matter what side of the political aisle you're on. It doesn't matter
11:49
your age. It's like none of us are benefiting
11:53
from all of these chemicals being put into our environment.
11:56
Well, the corporation. Yeah.
12:00
And all of the, all of the.
12:04
So if you look at it, on average, you got about 14
12:08
commercials for, for drugs every hour. And they're
12:11
targeted to younger generations. And
12:15
right now, the latest data that just came out is
12:19
the refined grains, cookies, cakes,
12:23
bread, sugary like junk. Not like, you know, complex carbs like
12:27
rice and sweet potatoes, vegetables, you know, you know, white
12:30
potatoes. Things that are just in its natural state. We're talking about junk
12:34
carbs. And please, for the love of God, don't be afraid of carbs.
12:39
But the junk. 60% of all calories consumed in
12:42
America are junk. Yeah. That is staggering.
12:46
And the ratio of junk carbs to protein
12:50
is 6 to 1. And I,
12:53
I just watch it go down, you know, and I. It's, it's kind of
12:57
terrifying. And the other thing that's really scary is the stuff that's been given
13:01
to, you know,
13:04
Gen Z. Some millennial and younger with
13:08
different energy drinks and vaping in the different.
13:12
Yeah, well, I mean, I know, I know so many. I know these, all
13:16
the people that are doing that. And I'm like, it's just, you know, it's very
13:19
concerning to me, but it just seems like it's increasing. Like we
13:23
never learned a lesson along the way to maybe we shouldn't be. We haven't learned
13:27
a lesson. It's just like we're accelerating. We're not
13:30
slowing down. The average teenager In America consumes five energy
13:34
drinks a day. That's insane. That's 1,000
13:38
milligrams of caffeine. That will kill you. Now here's a little trick people don't
13:41
realize. These drinks all have, you know, 200,
13:45
300 milligrams of caffeine in them. Right? Well, you'll see
13:49
in most of these drinks, you know, we know the most popular
13:52
ones. I won't say them. They have a thousand
13:56
milligrams of taurine in them as well. Taurine is an amino acid. You want to
14:00
know why there's so much taurine in these energy drinks? Because the
14:03
amount of caffeine. So the taurine helps you to not have a heart attack.
14:09
Because if the taurine wasn't in there and you consume those, you would be dead.
14:13
And they know that. Jeepers.
14:17
So the whole reason why these things are designed is they have formulas in there.
14:20
It's addiction. Right. Well, they should not ever
14:24
have been on the market. They shouldn't have. But it's. Again, it's all corporations.
14:28
This isn't about health and it's not about anything but money. That's all that matters
14:32
in this scenario. So we're going to take a lot
14:35
of this and just enough of this so this doesn't hurt you. And this is
14:39
going to make you so addicted that you're going to go through more and more
14:42
and more. So when you're consuming two, three, four, five of them a day,
14:46
I don't want you to die because that's a bad reputation for me. So I'm
14:49
going to put something in there that's going to stop that from happening. And guess
14:52
what? Over the course of time, it's going to build up and it's going to
14:54
happen anyway. But by then we will have made billions and we won't care.
14:59
That's just, that's the dynamic that we work in this country. And it's,
15:02
it's horrible. But luckily there are some of us that
15:06
are, you know, trying to stop that and try to change it, you know,
15:10
and not standing on a soapbox waving a flag. You guys are horrible and
15:13
corrupt. We all know that. The only way, like I said earlier, the only way
15:17
to change it is by giving the power back to the patient and the practitioner
15:20
and take money away from them. If you stop the funding, you
15:24
stop the mission. That's true. Yeah. For sure.
15:28
And yeah, I walk into grocery stores now and it doesn't matter if it's Whole
15:32
Foods or not. It's like I just want to throw things because I read the
15:35
labels and then I like, I get really mad. Like at Whole Foods there might
15:38
be one that doesn't have something in it
15:42
that's not good for you. Yeah. And there's a lot of one out. Of out
15:46
there and that's at Whole Foods. Right.
15:50
So it's like, I just feel like this is, it's.
15:54
And just a, it's a big smoke and mirror show. It really is. You know,
15:57
all the things that, oh, this is healthy for you. Well, you know,
16:01
this subjective to the person. One thing that might be healthy for you might not
16:05
be healthy for the person. Right. It's the same thing. Like when we do genetic
16:08
mapping, we go into diets and stuff like that. And what should a person eat?
16:12
How do they process carbs and fats? How do I know? Well,
16:15
a lot of times, you know, you may say, oh, keto is the best thing
16:18
on earth, or Carnivore diet, that's trending right now. Carnivore. And because
16:22
Carnivore was great for me, you should do it too. Well,
16:25
Carnivore might kill you. Keto might make you fatter than you've ever
16:29
been. Because if you have a deviation on your FTO gene that you don't process
16:33
fats like that. I'm not a fat responder. I don't
16:36
oxidize fat very well. I can't eat a lot of fat. I'm a glucose
16:40
responder. I can eat carbs all day long and I feel amazing
16:43
and I just drop. But if I go, if
16:47
I eat keto and I've done this experiment just to prove My point, if I
16:51
eat keto, I just balloon.
16:54
Interesting. Does not. My body does not respond to dietary
16:58
fat. That doesn't mean don't eat any. You need some for hormones, of course. But
17:01
there's a catch. I can eat 67 grams of fat a day. That's
17:05
it. If I go above that, I feel horrible. And you definitely
17:09
look like a carnivore eater. I love protein. I eat.
17:12
50 of my calories is from protein. I'll eat at 350 to
17:16
400 grams of protein a day. Okay, I love rice.
17:20
Now there's a little hack. There's a thing going around and there's doctors saying this
17:23
and it just infuriates, infuriates me. But there's resistant starch
17:27
carbs, okay? Those are real resistant starch
17:30
means that the molecule is simply shrunk in that carb and the starch takes
17:34
longer to break down. It doesn't change the carbohydrate
17:38
ratios. It just changes the speed in which your body processes them
17:42
so you don't have a glucose response. So when you think, take things
17:46
like potatoes, white potatoes are highly starchy. Rice is highly
17:49
starchy, some less than others. If you take those things and you
17:53
cook them and you cool them off, the molecule in
17:57
them will shrink. And so when you consume them, whether you reheat them or eat
18:00
them cold, I prefer sushi rice. I love it cold. I eat it with almost
18:04
every meal. But the starch
18:08
becomes a lot harder to break down because the molecule shrinks. So it
18:12
becomes what we call starch resistant. Now it works in form of like a prebiotic
18:15
in the gut. So it actually feeds the good gut bacteria, kind of like sourdough
18:19
does. Now, there's a lot of misinformation going around and I've seen
18:22
some doctors even saying this, I'll just put your bread in the freezer. It doesn't
18:25
work on bread because bread is processed. It's not a natural starch.
18:29
And the starch that's in the bread that is natural is such a small amount,
18:33
the starch resistance is completely useless. It is so
18:36
minor, you're not getting any benefit out of it anyway. So when you see
18:40
starch resistant stuff going around, rice and potatoes are really
18:44
the only two things that works on. It doesn't work on pastas and breads because
18:47
it's not just the natural starch that you're freezing or getting
18:51
cold. It's all the other things in there. And those don't become
18:55
starch resistant. So you got to be very careful about what you take as
18:59
gospel from the Internet, because there is a lot of absolute
19:02
nonsense. Okay? So for this starch
19:05
resistant thing, the way to cook it that's best for you is to cook it
19:09
and let it cool. Yes. Or reheat it. Either way,
19:13
you can reheat it or eat it cold. Once you, once you've let it cooled,
19:16
the starch resistant already kicks in because you're shrinking the molecule.
19:20
So if you eat, let's say you make mashed potatoes,
19:24
right, fresh, and you eat them, you're going to get a much
19:28
higher glycogen response or glucose response from
19:31
them. Same thing with rice, you let them cool off and eat them cold or
19:35
reheat them. The glucose response is probably about
19:39
20 to 30% less than if you ate it warm because it
19:43
shrinks the starch molecule so it becomes smaller, so it takes longer
19:46
to digest. So let's just say, and I'm using this because I don't have graphs,
19:51
but if you eat warm carbs, fresh rice
19:54
skyrocket. Right now you have starch resistant rice
19:57
and it's just a nice smooth transition. Now when you pair that with
20:01
protein, guess what? Your glucose response is going to be even
20:05
better because your glucose is going to go up no matter what you eat, right?
20:08
It's not just carbs. You eat proteins or fats, your glucose goes up, you work
20:12
out, your glucose goes up, it doesn't matter. You can't stop that from
20:16
happening. So your body has this process
20:20
and it's called gluconeogenesis. It's going to produce
20:23
glucose from whatever you eat for your
20:26
body's processes, for your brain health, right? And a lot of people
20:30
say you don't need carbs to eat. And other people say, I eat, I eat
20:33
carbs because the brain needs glucose. Well, the brain's gonna get glucose from
20:37
whatever you give it. It doesn't need you to tell it. So if you
20:41
choose to go low carb, because that's what best for you, because you're a fat
20:44
oxidizer, guess what? Your body's gonna take some of that fat and protein and turn
20:48
it into glucose to keep your brain healthy, you don't have to worry about that.
20:53
When you get into,
20:56
you know, fat oxidization, you get into cellular
21:00
apoptosis and all these other dorky things I won't get into right now. Your body
21:04
knows what to do. Our whole goal is to simply help
21:07
it do that and getting this
21:11
information and helping this regulate through these data sets
21:15
on, you know, how do I process fats and carbs.
21:19
How do, should I fast? Should I not fast? You know, what type of methylation
21:22
pathway impairments do I have? How does my body respond to energy expenditures and all
21:25
these things, you know, you have a
21:29
guidebook or a roadmap basically onto what your body responds
21:32
best to. We can even tell you muscle fiber typing and how you should work
21:35
out, should you sprint, should you do long distance running, should you lift weights, should
21:39
you do crossfit? Like we can go through all of that and tell you genetically
21:42
what your body's going to respond to. That's very cool glass
21:46
right now. So you don't have to guess. Oh, well, I'm doing keto and doing
21:50
HIIT classes three times a week because my friend did it and they had great
21:53
results and I'm just not seeing it. But that's because it's not for you.
21:57
That is very cool. So the stuff that the information that the
22:01
doctor gets back from you will, will go through,
22:05
drug interactions, supplementations,
22:08
genetic responses. What might
22:12
work best for working out? Like
22:16
what, what else? Like what else is in there? Yeah. So
22:20
we are about,
22:24
I'd say a solid eight months into having
22:28
the world's only intracellular NAD on the planet.
22:31
And what I say when I say intracellular because it actually gets
22:35
into the cell. So there's a lot before you go. In,
22:39
before you go into that. Just for anyone who doesn't really know, including me, because
22:42
I know what I've heard of NAD, but can you explain it a little bit
22:45
what it is? Yes. So NAD is what they call the
22:49
life molecule. It's nicotine nicotinamide
22:52
dinucleotide. Right. And so what that is, it's an enzyme that your
22:56
body produces and it starts to completely
23:00
just degrade over the course of how you age. Right. So it's like
23:04
it's anti aging molecule they call it, it's responsible
23:07
for some energy, you know,
23:11
macular degeneration in your eyes. Just a variety of cellular
23:15
health. Right. So the traditional thing
23:18
that we've seen over the last couple years is NAD injections.
23:22
Hollywood made those famous. They're extremely expensive.
23:27
They then started compounding them so they were a little bit more affordable.
23:30
But even still, you're talking to have it on a daily dose, which
23:34
is something that you really need. You're, you're talking a hundred to three hundred dollars
23:38
a day times thirty days. It's pretty
23:42
expensive. Then you also have to sit there for four hours and do a
23:45
slow drip if you do an IV because if you do it too fast, you'll
23:48
pass out. You can do intramuscular, which
23:52
doesn't take quite as long, but it's still the same effect. And so that leads
23:56
me to the
23:59
intracellular portion of what I'm saying. So
24:03
when you inject NAD, it is dinucleotide, which
24:07
means two. So it is a very large molecule. Let's
24:11
just say that this is the cell in your body. We've injected
24:14
nad. It can't permeate into the cell because it's
24:18
too big. The anatomical weight of it is too large. So it just
24:22
hovers around the cell and it becomes
24:25
extracellular or blood serum level nad. And there's still
24:29
some benefit to that, but I'll explain why in a minute, why
24:33
that can be dangerous. So NAD is going to produce what's
24:36
called ATP. It's adenosine triphosphate. And that is our body's
24:40
fuel source. That's how our cells fire.
24:44
And so with the ATP production, we get energy.
24:47
We may see, oh, I got this injection and now I feel really good until
24:51
it wears off. Right? So if depending on how
24:55
deficient that person is, is going to depend on what needs to be
24:59
done for them also, it's like a little mechanic. It's going to go
25:02
where it needs to work first. So if you have a lot of inflammation in
25:05
your bones, it's going to go work on that first. Now,
25:10
there's a lot of really
25:14
terrible things on the market. You see them all over social media right now.
25:18
I'm not going to name names of companies, but they're telling you you can
25:21
take this NAD product. Well, here's what I can tell you.
25:26
If you're not injecting NAD in either IV or
25:29
intramuscular, you're not getting any at all.
25:33
Because the only other options for these NAD products are
25:37
mostly liquids that doesn't work.
25:41
You can't absorb it through the digestive tract because your
25:44
stomach acid will absolutely destroy it. Your digestive tract is where
25:48
it's going to need to go to absorb, and it can't. Now
25:52
they're going to throw magical marketing words at you, like liposomal,
25:56
it doesn't matter. You can wrap it in whatever you want. It will
25:59
not survive. There's so much clinical data out there on that,
26:03
and there's a lot of marketing hype, and you might feel some.
26:07
Some placebo effect from it, but at the end of the day, it's still
26:10
extracellular, even if you're getting the injections. Now
26:15
enter the picture. Science discovers this little thing
26:18
called nicotinamide mononucleotide which is a
26:22
precursor of NAD. It is about one third
26:25
the size and it can actually permeate the cell,
26:30
which is wonderful, except the fact that you can't inject it because it's too
26:33
volatile. So then guess what? Oh,
26:37
well, let's put it into a pill or a powder or a liquid. Guess what?
26:40
Digestive system. It still will not work.
26:44
It doesn't work because it can't get to where it needs to get.
26:48
Okay. So about a year and a
26:52
half ago, we started working on how
26:56
can we get this into the system by bypassing
26:59
that and making it cost effective. So
27:03
we have these things in our mouths called the salvage pathways, or the oral
27:07
mucosa or the buccal. Right. And there are some
27:11
prescription drugs because people need to bypass the digestive
27:14
system to get it into their blood because otherwise it gets rendered in ineffective.
27:19
So we came up with this little crystalline strip, kind of like
27:22
Listerine. You've seen those little Listerine strips, right?
27:26
Very similar to that. We were able to come up with a crystalline
27:30
form of NMN. And we have a proprietary formula
27:34
to this where it has some really cool stuff in it, which I can't
27:37
divulge. But we get the NMN
27:41
to dissolve in through the oral mucosa. It gets into
27:45
the bloodstream in six minutes and it actually crosses into
27:49
the cell. So it gets the NMN inside the cell,
27:52
which then creates the ATP and converts into NAD
27:56
inside the cell where it should be in the first place, not hanging
28:00
around outside. Okay. That
28:03
also is the only mechanism that crosses into the blood brain
28:07
barrier. NAD cannot cross into the blood brain barrier. I don't
28:11
care how much of it you inject, it can't get through there.
28:15
So we've taken that technology and put it into
28:19
this clinical data set, and it is
28:22
absolutely revolutionary. And I can't get into some of the
28:26
things that we have on the calendar for this month, but I can say this.
28:29
The conversations that we've been having, we are talking to
28:33
some serious, serious heavy hitters in the medical space
28:37
because of this. Now, why that's
28:40
important to get that NMN into the cell
28:44
so that it can create nad. If you
28:48
understand what I said earlier about how NAD produces
28:52
ATP and ATP is the energy of our
28:55
cell. Okay? If you have a cancer
28:59
diagnosis and you have cancerous cells in your body,
29:02
the last thing you want to do is give them energy.
29:08
So if you have a cancer diagnosis and you start taking nad, guess what happens?
29:12
Cancer cell proliferation, you are going to get worse.
29:16
Oh, it will make your cancer spread and speed up like
29:20
you wouldn't believe. So enter
29:23
NMN does the exact opposite. Because NMN
29:27
activates what's called sirtuins. And sirtuins are like those little mechanics
29:31
that kill those senescent cells. So if you have energy
29:34
on the outside of a cell that's diseased, it's feeding that disease.
29:38
But if you can get that energy on the inside of the cell where it's
29:42
actually going to heal, I'll leave that up to your imagination. What happens, because I
29:45
can't say that word. Now, if you get energy
29:49
into the cell and you allow it to start cleaning up all of those dead,
29:52
what we call senescent cells or zombie cells, you may see floating around social
29:56
media, you're able to get your body back into a homeostatic
30:00
state where your body is balanced, you're dropping inflammation, and all these won
30:05
happening. So it's really, really important to make that key distinction,
30:08
which is why I have it set up on the, on the website. That way
30:11
of bioenergetics is understanding the difference between
30:15
intracellular and extracellular because they are very different and they
30:18
work very differently. And one can have really drastic
30:22
negative outcomes for certain people.
30:25
And there's a lot of, there's a lot of white noise all
30:29
over social media about NAD therapy. And
30:33
I can tell you this wholeheartedly with zero bias percent
30:36
of it is absolute garbage marketing. That's all it is.
30:42
Yeah, that's really interesting. So can you tell me, can you,
30:46
for those of us who aren't in the medical space, necessarily senescent.
30:50
How do you spell that? Is that. How did I say it right? Yes, senescent
30:53
cells. Honestly, I couldn't tell you off the top of my head how to spell
30:56
it. I want to say it was going to be S, S, C,
31:00
E, N, E, S C or ece, I believe something to
31:03
that effect. Okay, I know how, as long as. I got the word
31:07
right. So, yeah, senescent, AKA or zombie
31:11
cells. So senescent just means dying. Okay. So cells
31:14
that need to get flushed out of your body, basically, they aren't helping you.
31:18
Yeah. So that's, that's kind of the whole point of why people try
31:22
to get into autophagy, to have that happen naturally again. It doesn't happen
31:25
at the way that people think it does again. But if you are in
31:29
a position genetically where autophagy is bad for you, then that's
31:32
irrelevant and you won't be able to, to do that anyway. So sirtuin
31:36
activities, you have SIRT 1, SIRT 3 those are gonna activate in your body.
31:40
They're going to work into antioxidants and
31:44
those types of mechanisms to really try to flush out those types of things and
31:48
be like anti inflammatory. And inflammation
31:51
doesn't always have to be pain. Inflammation can be response. It can
31:55
be, you know, a lot of different
31:59
mechanisms where you're going to get a negative response from something you may never
32:03
actually feel. Yeah.
32:07
You know, so really what we want to get across
32:10
is understanding that, you know, the wave
32:14
of the future is, is now there's a lot of emerging
32:18
science that's out there and people just don't know about it. And you
32:21
know, if I'm being completely transparent, the whole point of why this was
32:25
developed was for hospitals and doctors offices and big pharma
32:29
just was so afraid of it because they said that works. You can't bring that
32:32
here. You can't bring what here?
32:36
What you're doing, this whole thing. Yeah, you can't be here. You cannot be here
32:40
because this works and you're going to destroy our business model. You have to
32:43
go. And so that's why we go, you know,
32:47
private clinician, because they can't do anything about that. You can't stop
32:51
me. I might not be able to get into a traditional hospital, but you can't
32:54
stop me from getting into an individually run clinic because you have no say. So
32:59
you're not to lord over this. Now I will say there are,
33:03
you know, some in the traditional hospital sense that
33:07
are really tuning into this because they know what they want
33:10
to do and they have the right heart. You know, their whole point is to
33:13
keep people from needing drugs and to keep people off of their operating table.
33:17
And if that's the mission, then that's what this is for. This is
33:21
a, an adjunct, if nothing else, an adjunct
33:24
to traditional therapies that may be needed depending on where somebody may be
33:28
in their journey. In no way am I claiming any,
33:32
you know, cures, treatments, diagnosis or anything of those diseases because
33:36
that's not where we're legally allowed to live. Thank you to the amazing
33:39
FDA and their nonsense.
33:44
We have to walk a fine line with what we can do and say.
33:48
And it is what it is, it's the world we live in. But I'm gonna
33:50
stretch that as far as I possibly can and you know,
33:54
really just partner up with the like minded people across the country that are wanting
33:58
to do what we're doing. And you know, the sky's the limit
34:02
to me. I think of a
34:06
quote I actually learned the other day. And Jamie knows this.
34:10
Brene Brown. I read a
34:14
quote in her book, and it said, what gets in the way becomes the way.
34:19
And I'm like, man, really soak that in. "What gets in the way
34:22
becomes the way." Think about that in terms of
34:26
your health, your finances, all the things in life, you know, your
34:29
relationships, whatever it is, your. Your habits, your disciplines, your
34:33
workouts, the things that you're eating. Whatever gets in the way becomes the way.
34:37
Oh, I'm just gonna have one brownie, and then it's two, and then it's three,
34:40
and then it's every day. Well, what's getting in the way? The brownies are getting
34:43
in the way. Yeah, but your decision is what's getting in the way.
34:47
And then your bad decision becomes the way. And then we get into
34:51
these, you know, snowball effect of excuses and yeah, buts.
34:55
Okay, cool. So it's. It's not like you can't
34:58
change these things, but they have to be identified. And to be able to identify
35:02
those things, you've got to be able to be real with yourself. And so that
35:06
goes back to talking about earlier with. With burnout and understanding, like,
35:09
identity crisis. Right. So many of the clinics that I talk
35:13
to are trying to do things to impact patients, and they're trying to
35:17
do things the right way, but they're sacrificing their own futures and their
35:20
own lives for it, because they don't know any different. And also, you
35:24
know, big pharma, and I work with a lot of chiropractors. I
35:28
love, love chiropractic. I again, you know, didn't divulge
35:31
this earlier. I've actually been partially paralyzed twice as well. If it wasn't for chiropractic,
35:35
I wouldn't even be able to walk. Oh, Lord, I love, love, love
35:39
chiropractic. It is so great. And so I do
35:43
work with a lot of chiropractors because of a passion that I have for that.
35:47
But I can tell you this, that all these schools, they're teaching the same
35:51
model -chase Insurance. You want to know why? Because that's what big pharma
35:55
paid for them to say and teach. They don't want chiropractic
35:58
and proactive healthcare becoming the norm because it ruins what they
36:02
want. So that's how they hold thumb over the pulses. They make you struggle
36:06
by chasing insurance, and they keep regulating and regulating and
36:09
regulating and not paying and it's not medically necessary and making it
36:13
harder and harder for these doctors to even just get paid. You
36:17
know, there's. This is A really wild and scary statistic. Okay,
36:21
80%, 8, 0. 80% of
36:24
chiropractors never make more than a quarter of a million dollars.
36:28
That's crazy. When you're seeing, you know, 40
36:32
patients a day and you can't even track a quarter of a million.
36:37
And your expenses, you know, you're, you're $30,000 a month in
36:41
expenses just to operate, and then you're chasing, you know, $10,000
36:45
in profit because you're chasing insurance reimbursements. And,
36:48
you know, you ever noticed all of these programs out there that are patient leads?
36:52
Oh, we'll get you 50 more patients. I'm like, that's not the goal. I don't
36:55
want 50 more patients. I just want $50,000 more
36:59
seeing the exact same patients already seeing. Yeah. And I think I,
37:03
I keep hearing this. It's like the way insurance runs is that
37:06
they get it to the point where a primary
37:10
care doctor, chiropractor, whatever, who's ever taking the insurance
37:14
will not have time to take time to listen to you.
37:19
So if, like, you're not you to. Treat anybody because there's. They don't
37:22
want you to figure it out and cure anybody because they want to keep you
37:25
in the machine. It's just like mortgages, you know, mortgages and all those
37:29
things. America was designed. It's financial institutions,
37:33
it's healthcare institutions, the food, all of it was designed to keep you
37:37
sick and in payments. Yeah,
37:40
well, that's, that's probably a whole nother. Not just
37:45
podcast episode. Maybe a whole nother podcast, you know what I'm saying?
37:48
Yeah. That goes down a rabbit hole. But I certainly have heard
37:52
plenty about what went down, man, 90, 100 years ago,
37:56
let's be honest. Yeah, it started.
37:59
And we're just kind of like waking up to it a little bit here and
38:03
there, maybe becoming more prominent. Yeah, but it's a lot of things that you just,
38:06
you know, like, well, why aren't we taught this stuff? And is. Well, because you're
38:09
not meant to. That's how it's. It's covered up because you become compliant. And that's
38:13
what it's all about is compliance. So. Okay, great. If the name of the game
38:17
is compliance, then I am going to make sure that I can do everything I
38:20
can to get these patients compliant where it's beneficial for them and not for
38:24
you. Yeah, I have a big mouth and I'm going to use it
38:28
well. And also, I think we're just talking about around some things too. But you,
38:33
you know, there's this would take more than this and probably a lot of
38:37
research on the part of the listener to understand. But you said you have some
38:40
information on your blog on some of the. Yeah, so I have a couple of
38:44
blogs. I admittedly do not keep up with it as often as I should
38:48
because I'm really just focused on the main thing. But yes, there's a little bit
38:51
of information on the website, there's some blogs, there are a lot
38:55
of individually broken down science pages. So
38:59
I've got the bioenergetics, I've got the pharmacological cross referencing for
39:03
clinicians that are inclined to look at science. So we
39:07
get into what's called nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics, epigenetics, all that
39:10
type of stuff. If you are so inclined, feel free to check out
39:14
the website, thepracticalpractitioner.com and you know, feel
39:18
free to message me on there if you have questions. I'm also on Facebook,
39:22
you know, I am open to any conversation with anybody at any time
39:26
and you know, but the mission will not be deviated, I can promise you that.
39:29
Yeah, I love it. I would love to hear a little bit about this
39:33
accident or whatever happened to you that made you almost
39:37
paralyzed and then you got better. Yeah,
39:42
yeah, it's. So it was actually in a wrestling ring
39:46
when I was younger. I was a really big wrestling fan and I actually just.
39:50
I got into the industry when I was younger and
39:54
that, you know, just. Seeing if Anyone is watching YouTube where I was going to
39:57
go, yeah, that fits. Yeah, what you're saying. So
40:02
I, you know, was involved in a
40:05
match and somebody was very careless and,
40:09
you know, rather than execute things properly, I was just
40:13
dropped right on my neck.
40:17
It was at a point where I had
40:21
compressed my L5. My L3 and 4
40:25
were tilted. T11 was out, T12 was out.
40:29
C5 was a little bit jacked up. C6 and 7
40:33
were completely out. And actually just a couple of years ago started fusing
40:36
themselves together because of the trauma. And I had 1% spacing in
40:40
my C1 disc. I was this close to being a vegetable.
40:44
My goodness. So, yeah, so I love chiropractic because that's
40:48
the only reason I can walk and I'm very active. And
40:52
you know, there was a point where I had slurred speech, I had
40:56
impaired movement. I literally, I couldn't walk for three months.
41:00
I had to go through all of this rehab and I was 19.
41:03
My goodness. Problem. I didn't know what was going on. I just knew I was
41:07
hurt. And I'm 19 years old. And they're like, oh, well, we're gonna have
41:11
to fuse your back. I'm like, I'm 19. You're gonna fuse my back? There's no
41:15
other way. No, there's no other way. And I'm like, no, I don't accept that.
41:18
And that's how I found chiropractic. Oh. And
41:21
I went through a lot of therapy, and it hurt my hip
41:25
bone and my spine. My spine was so curved because
41:29
of that. It used to rub on my hip. Imagine that.
41:32
That hurt. I have never felt pain like that in my life.
41:37
It was. It was to the point where I was just in tears and I
41:40
was just crying, and I'm like, just shoot me. I can't take it anymore. It
41:44
was so bad. That sounds awful. It was
41:47
horrible. So, needless to say, I've been through the ringer on a couple of things
41:50
in my life, and I've just come out on the end stronger and very grateful
41:54
and so blessed because of it. And so I want to
41:58
take that blessing and. And pay it forward to people and do what I.
42:01
You know, because it's. It's. It's a broken system, and we
42:05
all know that. But. But again, rather than focusing on the fact that the system
42:09
is broken, what can I do to genuinely change it? And so, yeah,
42:13
trying to do that now. Yeah, definitely a few things. How long did it take
42:16
you to feel better from that first of
42:20
A couple years. I mean, it was probably a good 10 years before it was
42:24
really mostly gone. And honestly, I still have some issues in my lower
42:28
back here, depending on what I do.
42:31
But, you know, like, I'll get sciatic nerve pain here and there because
42:35
my. My spine is very mobile. But sometimes that's not a good
42:39
thing because I can crack a lot of it on my own.
42:42
And I know, you know, all of my DCs out there are, like, never do
42:45
that. It's. It's not. I'm not, like, pushing. It just happens.
42:49
Like, I literally can. Like, I can manipulate my back
42:53
muscles where I know, and I can literally crack. Like I just did. I
42:57
just. My spine just boom. Just like that. Well,
43:01
yeah, I learned how to. To get myself out of
43:04
pain in times like that. But, you know, sometimes
43:08
my. My hips will pop, my. My SI joints, things like that. And it's
43:12
just, you know, it's the biomechanics I've learned in my own body. Obviously, I'm not
43:15
recommending anyone else do that, but I just know how I
43:19
am, and I can manipulate a lot of that on my own because I've
43:23
just learned how to do it. But if I'm ever in your city,
43:26
please feel free to adjust my neck. I will totally let you.
43:31
That's funny. Yeah. I've gone to chiropractors since I was little, too, so
43:35
I think they're just. Sometimes you get trained young,
43:39
that you're like, you want to take care of the pain and in the most
43:42
natural way possible. So I definitely have done that myself. Yeah.
43:47
And very effective, for sure. I mean, you know,
43:50
there's different ways to do lots of things. I mean, you do you. I mean,
43:53
I'm not going to judge what your decisions are. Are. But, you know, there's just.
43:57
There's a lot of things out there that are just not. They're just not good
44:00
for everybody. Right. There's no one size fits all when it comes to anything in
44:04
life, really. Yeah. And I just, you know, this
44:07
part of what I'm doing. I think what you're doing, too, is going, there's other
44:11
options besides, I think what's been so widely circulated
44:14
as these are the only options, there's actually other options
44:18
that. And I am very passionate myself about
44:22
doing things that are hard for me to do, living in this world, how
44:26
we live, but to go back to as much to nature as possible.
44:30
And it just seems like it's. For me, it seems like it's getting harder. Like,
44:33
it just seems like it's like a harder thing to do. Yeah, it's. It's almost
44:37
like a rat race. You know, you're. You're constantly chasing, and just when you think
44:40
you've gotten to the end of the maze, it's like there's another wall. And it's
44:43
like, you know, for the average person that just. They don't have the
44:47
bandwidth to be able to handle that. And it's just like, you know, I
44:50
did an experiment on my Facebook a couple of months back because
44:54
I was proving the fact that these algorithms are
44:57
designed for negative reactions. All they want is
45:01
activity. They don't care what you're saying. They just
45:04
want response because response drives traffic and action, and
45:08
that leads to dollars, and that's all it is. And that's why there's so much
45:12
stuff. There are literally people and bots and AI bots that are
45:15
generated to post things that they know are wrong because it's going to
45:19
generate reaction, and that's all that matter. And I
45:23
purposely did that. I went on there, where I have. I don't
45:27
know, probably over 2,000 chiropractors that I network with on
45:30
my Facebook. And I said, chiropractic is pseudoscience.
45:35
And I posted it. And then in the comment
45:39
I said, now watch. How many people are gonna react to
45:43
this without even reading this comment. I do not believe
45:47
this. I love chiropractic. It is amazing. And
45:51
it was, oh, what an idiot. Stupid. I've never seen anything worse. And I
45:54
go, exactly, you're proving my point. You reacted without reading and that's what they
45:58
want.
46:04
It was done on purpose. And then my comment, oh, you almost
46:08
got me right. I very clearly don't believe that. Look at everything
46:11
I've ever said. I very clearly don't believe it. But people didn't read it. They
46:15
just started reacting because that's what they're taught bought to do.
46:19
Yeah, for sure. Sometimes you wonder if some of the
46:22
stupid things people say are this people or if they're a bot saying something stupid.
46:26
Don't you wonder that sometimes with some of these things I'm like, is that a
46:29
person or is that a bot just acting like a stupid person? It's hard to
46:32
say. Yeah, it'd be either. It's probably a bot
46:36
programmed by a stupid person, to be honest. Well, yeah,
46:39
yeah, but all they care about is reaction. They don't care whether it's true. They
46:43
just care that you reacted. And now they've got 1 million comments on there and
46:46
they generated $30,000 off of it. And you're sucker.
46:50
Yeah, it is a very intense world
46:54
we're living in and that doesn't seem to be slowing down on the intensity
46:58
and going in, in things that's going to be not great for us
47:02
mentally. You've got to be, you've got to be awake.
47:06
And I, and I say awake, not woke. You've got to be awake to what's
47:10
going on in the world and, and recognize
47:13
that, you know, the powers that be,
47:17
so to speak, do not have your best interest at heart. They don't care.
47:21
All they care about is money and that's all they're ever going to care about.
47:26
They're not, they're not here for your well being in any way.
47:30
Yes, the system is literally designed to work against the average
47:33
person and the, you know, you can do your own research and dig into that.
47:36
I'll be glad to talk to you about it. But that's just a fact and
47:39
I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Please don't take it as that. I'm not a conspiracy
47:42
theorist. I'm just telling what I've seen. Well, it
47:45
just. We're just at the point where it just defies so much logic. Like, you
47:49
cannot pour. I think. What is this? You know, pesticide
47:53
bill is like 43,000. Is that my. Am I right? Is it. I
47:57
don't remember the numbers. I know it was over 25,000 pesticides that
48:00
they're trying to get immunity on. 25. I mean,
48:04
this. There's nothing that's common sense about this. And then they're adding more in
48:08
there. Yeah, well, a lot of it. There's no common sense in
48:11
that. It's more herbicides than it is pesticides.
48:16
And here's the kicker about that, right? Most of, if not all of
48:19
these herbicides that are being used, they're all from
48:23
salt. They're chemically altered salt. They've
48:27
poisoned salt against us.
48:31
Because what they do, they work in the mechanism of the plant and they dehydrate
48:34
it so that it can't absorb water and nutrients, and that's how it dies. It's
48:38
literally salt. Well, I've never heard of that before.
48:42
Yep, it's sodium glyphosate. That's what Roundup is.
48:46
It's all salt. All herbicides are based from salt.
48:51
That's new information to me. Whatever it does,
48:55
it's not. It doesn't do good things. I don't know. Well, yeah, because it's chemically
48:58
altered. So then when you take like, you know,
49:02
you take a. Hypothetically, you take, you know,
49:06
chlorine and add an atom of chlorine to something, right? It can make
49:09
it really, really bad. But also understand that your body already
49:13
produces a certain amount of chlorine in it anyway. Same
49:16
thing with cyanide. You know, like you
49:20
have in apricot seeds. And this is, you know, some people
49:24
may use this as a cancer treatment. I'm not suggesting this in any shape where
49:27
shape or form, but there's a
49:31
process or an
49:35
enzyme in apricot seeds called the Magdalene. And they labeled it B17.
49:39
It's not a B vitamin. They just called it that because they needed to call
49:41
it something. So it's a Magdalene. And they tell you, oh, well, you know,
49:45
you eat apricot seeds and it will produce a certain level
49:49
of cyanide and that will kill cancer cells. There's
49:53
really no clinical proof to that. I'm just stating what I've seen.
49:56
I've personally eaten apricot seeds about 10 times the recommended
50:00
dose, had no issue with it whatsoever.
50:05
But they'll tell you, well, you know, you eat that and it produces cyanide. And
50:08
cyanide will kill you. Well, that's very true in certain doses, but your body
50:11
already produces some level of cyanide anyway,
50:16
so it's not like, oh, if you have the smallest little nano dose
50:20
of cyanide in your body, it's going to kill you. That's not true.
50:23
And please don't go out and experiment with that and, you know, ingest
50:27
cyanide or go buy apricot seeds and eat them. I'm not saying that at all.
50:31
I'm simply saying that the purported statements aren't always true.
50:36
Yeah, well, gosh. And there's a lot of
50:39
information out there, so, you know, just be
50:43
careful. Of what you accept as truth. Right.
50:48
You just have to, I hate to say, do your own research because most people
50:51
don't know what they're looking at anyway, but,
50:55
you know, question stuff. If it's what the masses are
50:59
doing, it's probably not true. Well, and also
51:03
tune into your body. I just keep, you know, like there's,
51:06
there's so much with, I think we're, we're told to not pay attention
51:10
to our body. So if, if we start just trying to
51:14
do any kind of scan and pay attention to what, what is
51:18
this? Because we're, we're just, we don't listen to our body. We don't,
51:22
we can just completely ignore it. Unless it's an acute pain.
51:25
Yeah, absolutely. You need to let your body heal and recover. I mean, and that
51:29
it can come in the form of trauma. Trauma can really affect
51:33
your health in ways you don't realize. You
51:36
know, something even as simple as just, you know, hormone balancing,
51:40
autonomic functions, things like that, like, you know, traumatic things.
51:45
You know, here's one thing I can say, and I've, I've watched this
51:48
from even just seeing like that show, my 600 pound life,
51:52
and you wonder like, what led you there. Almost every
51:56
single person had a traumatic experience.
51:59
Almost every single one. You know, they were
52:03
molested or something as a child or as a young adult, and they
52:06
wanted to make sure that that never happened again. And so they developed this
52:10
mechanism by eating and becoming bigger and bigger and bigger so no
52:14
one would ever want to touch them again. That's a trauma.
52:18
Absolutely. Yeah. And I
52:22
have, you know, I, this is why I am in life the way I am,
52:25
I know, is because of like, you know, complex PTSD kind of
52:29
thing. One thing over and over, and I haven't lived through those things, but
52:33
just psychological, more for me, but profound. Yeah. And
52:37
you know, sometimes I'm like, can we get some research on what it,
52:41
what this kind of behavior does to your brain? Because it slows
52:45
down learning and it just stops. It stops part of your brain from
52:48
beginning even able to function. I know that from experience and
52:52
from adopting children who've been traumatized. You know, like, it
52:55
affects, it affects things that you were really
52:59
capable of doing. All of a sudden you can't do or you start to look
53:03
at something and you want to. Like, there was a time I just, every time
53:06
I walked into my office, I had it. I couldn't
53:10
function. I had it just almost taken like a fall asleep and I couldn't.
53:14
I was so self
53:17
hating over that kind of thing because you don't know what it is. And then
53:20
someone who knew something said, oh, that's, that's a trauma response. I'm like,
53:24
it's paperwork. You know, that doesn't make any sense. Yeah, but it's
53:28
interesting. It's pretty bad. It really boils down to
53:32
how you're processing things. And when you have trauma response like
53:36
that, like what you're referencing, it becomes neuroinflammatory.
53:39
And when you have inflammation in your brain, you're going to
53:43
have neurodegradation. And that's again, one of the things
53:47
that we are trying to work on with the, you know, blood, brain,
53:51
cellular nad stuff is to try to remove that inflammation out of there.
53:55
Because yes, you do have a trauma response, but you don't have to keep it.
53:59
I love that. Yeah, I love it. Because there's an interaction of all that stuff
54:02
too. Absolutely. And we've talked, I've talked. I've
54:06
had several people on that'll Talk that have kind of helped with some of the
54:10
emotional effect that comes from,
54:13
you know, trauma and how that can affect you physically. So
54:17
Igor Siberia was on. He does breath work. Man, that's very transformative. In fact,
54:20
I, I saw, speaking of Jamie, she was at the same one I was at
54:24
when he came to Reno. All right. Had him at the, on
54:28
the, on the show. And then Kara Stoltenberg is someone I've had on
54:31
a lot who has a lot of wisdom around that. And then a trauma coach,
54:34
Jolyn Armstrong. So she was last on, on Thanksgiving and she has
54:38
some stuff on that too. So. But I love that you're bringing
54:42
like. You know, even just some, something simple. I mean, like doing like box breathing
54:45
even helps tremendously with a lot of people. It does, yeah.
54:49
Box breathing is. Because I love that. And then I don't think anyone's explained
54:53
that so far. Yeah, it's. It's just, you know,
54:57
understanding is you're. You're almost regulating
55:00
your nervous system with a series of just
55:04
like, inhale, hold breath, and then kind of just letting
55:08
time pass as you're almost going from like, a panic to just
55:12
calming yourself down. And you're regulating your breathing, and you're, like, you know,
55:16
physically watching this. This box, and the ball moves, and it's
55:19
like, take a breath, hold it, let it out. Take a breath, hold it. And
55:23
you're getting into this pattern and this habit of regulating your breath,
55:27
and it really starts to just kind of calm you down, and you're just like,
55:30
oh, okay, I am okay. I am safe. Nothing's bad.
55:34
Fine. Yeah, I've heard it kind of like, breathe in
55:38
2, 3, 4, 5. Hold 2, 3, 4,
55:42
5. Breathe out 2, 3, 4, 5. Hold 2,
55:46
3, 4, five. Or count to three. If I have a. See, that's the thing.
55:49
For me, I like to visualize the box in the ball because counting stresses me
55:53
out. If I take a breath and I'm like, two, three, four.
55:56
That's work. I don't want to have to do that. So me, I just. I
56:00
just take a breath and I visualize the box. Because if I'm
56:04
speaking now, I'm in reaction, and for me, that
56:07
doesn't work well. Yeah. Well, thank you for
56:11
incorporating that kind of trauma response into what you're doing with your work, too, so.
56:15
Absolutely. Yeah. I love that. Thank you so much,
56:18
Matthew. And you can see more at
56:21
thepracticalpractitioner.com. Yes.
56:24
Yes. Thank you, guys. I appreciate your time. Thank you, Mary. It was a pleasure.
56:28
Yeah, thank you.
