0:02
you are listening.
0:02
Listening to the prepared patient podcast with Dr.
0:06
Jennifer GNC, where we discuss what it really takes to heal your body.
0:11
With the symbol tools we source is a mindset to get you there.
0:15
I am determined to show you the reality of navigating the medical space as a patient caregiver and loved ones.
0:23
So you can be empowered and take back the most precious and important asset of your life, which is your health.
0:31
Let's get ready.
0:32
Comfortable and get started I'm trying something new.
0:41
I am recording for YouTube as well as the podcast.
0:46
So I uploaded a new episode telling you about the prepared patient podcast, what it is.
0:52
And how we can help you.
0:54
I navigate the medical space so that you learn the skills that you need to communicate with your doctor and get the results that you're looking for today.
1:03
I want to talk to you about who I am me like how.
1:08
I love doing this job, why I was chosen to do this job and how my journey started so I was medically trained or conventionally medically trained the practitioner.
1:20
Did many, many years in.
1:23
Emergency room and urgent care.
1:26
And at the beginning of my journey, I loved it.
1:28
I love helping people.
1:30
And I'm able to get them stabilized and able to get them on the way.
1:34
To either admit it or, make sure they follow up with the practitioners with the doctors.
1:41
However.
1:42
As I continued in this work I find myself being not satisfy unfulfilled.
1:48
Because I realized all I was doing was giving people, medications, not really spending the quality time with them.
1:55
Even when I do spend time with them, I will get.
1:58
Reprimanded.
2:01
By my boss.
2:03
Well, Dr.
2:03
Jensie you were in this room for so long.
2:06
What took you so long?
2:07
Why you spend all this time with the patient what's going on?
2:11
We have so many people waiting for you.
2:13
What's happening.
2:15
Which I didn't like, of course, because I felt like people needed to hear.
2:20
The right way or at least give him more information so they can have some clarity on some understanding what's going on with the bodies.
2:27
Unfortunately, I wasn't given the opportunity to do so.
2:30
So of course I did my job.
2:31
I showed up to the emergency room.
2:33
Wheelie running on, you know, dopamine like excited.
2:37
Helping people, giving them the medications, one in all the tests to all the imaging consulted with other, specialists that will be doing my best.
2:47
Again, going home in tears crying.
2:50
Oh my God.
2:51
Because many times I would give a patient a pill for one thing.
2:55
And that patient will come back in the emergency room either with the side effects of that pill, or another thing is happening.
3:02
For instance, I will give a patient a medication for.
3:06
UNO track infection.
3:08
And the patient ended up having a yeast infection.
3:11
So I always wonder why, why, are these people not getting better?
3:14
Why they're not healing.
3:16
If the medications are designed to help people that's, that was my thought process.
3:20
Then they shouldn't have any problem.
3:23
Right.
3:23
Like with diabetes, I would give them Metformin and then they'll come back with stomach issues or with Lipitor or medication for cholesterol, I would give them We have a Staton Lipitor or.
3:34
Zocor any Staten at all, and then they'll come back with muscle issues or with the blood pressure medications, like one blood pressure medication was never enough.
3:44
They ended up having in two, three, and then seeing all the cardiologists and then the kidneys weren't functioning.
3:50
So there was so many things I did not like.
3:54
They're in the conventional space, but at the same time, I didn't know.
3:57
There was another type of medicine.
3:59
I didn't know.
4:00
Because I went to school to diagnose and treat patients.
4:04
I did not go to school to learn about nutritional or how the body can heal itself or.
4:10
Anything to that nature?
4:12
So I did exactly what I was thought.
4:14
Give a pill for the ill.
4:16
If that medication didn't work.
4:18
Try a different medication.
4:19
So, and then my dad was diagnosed with cancer.
4:23
And the way we were treated as a practitioner.
4:27
I didn't like either.
4:29
The doctor never had time for me when I had questions.
4:33
And then I was afraid to ask questions.
4:35
When I do ask questions.
4:37
I'm getting the ugly look like, okay, like this is annoying.
4:41
You ask him too many questions.
4:43
I'm asking questions because I didn't understand the process.
4:46
I didn't understand what we need to do or why my dad wasn't getting better with all the chemotherapy agent would all the medications that was that we implemented.
4:55
So what is going on?
4:57
I have a curious mind.
5:00
I realized that early on in the age that I'm curious, I'm always trying to find that why, why is this thing happened in the way it's happening?
5:07
How can we make it better?
5:08
Can somebody explain to me what the situation is and in the solutions?
5:15
And that's why I went to become a practitioner because if you have headaches, migraine, Symptoms.
5:21
I want to know why.
5:23
And you should also want to know why.
5:25
So when I look at doctors, I look at us as medical investigator.
5:32
We investigate what's going on.
5:35
In people's body.
5:36
We help them identify the underlying issue.
5:40
But however, I was very disappointed because I was not thought the proper way to investigate.
5:47
I was thought you know, to give pills, to give medications.
5:51
Which was not fulfilling to me.
5:53
So then unfortunately that didn't make it.
5:55
And then I started my own journey.
5:57
I myself had a lot of gut issues, a lot of fatigue, fibromyalgia.
6:04
Scoliosis.
6:05
Like skin issues.
6:06
I was tired all the time.
6:08
Even on my days off from the emergency room, I was still tired.
6:13
Because.
6:14
I had chronic fatigue.
6:15
And I will consult with my colleagues.
6:18
I will see my doctor and I was handed a medication and I will try the medication and that didn't work, or I didn't like the side effects.
6:26
I mean for the constipation, I find myself doing Kalanick.
6:30
So hydrotherapy, every single week I went probably because the laxative wasn't working anymore, the stool softeners that I used to purchase over the counter, like.
6:39
Coalesce these, but it work anymore.
6:42
Even the lenses or the medications didn't work anymore.
6:47
But I always knew there was a solution.
6:50
I didn't know what the solution was.
6:52
But I knew there was a solution.
6:54
I knew my life could be better.
6:57
I knew I was not made on this planet on this earth to suffer.
7:00
So I also knew that whatever it takes, I'm going to find that solution.
7:04
I started going to a lot of conferences because I'm very committed in educating myself in.
7:13
Really focused on personal and professional development.
7:16
Again, as a doctor we always have to keep up with the latest.
7:19
So I went to this urgent care.
7:21
I'm part of the urgent care association of America.
7:23
And they had a conference for us doctors in Disney California.
7:28
And went there and then somebody mentioned high, this vitamin C somebody mentioned herbs, somebody mentioned natural medicine.
7:37
And I was shocked.
7:38
I'm like, what are they talking about?
7:40
Like herbs doesn't really help you.
7:42
Vitamin C can really help you now.
7:44
What are they talking about?
7:46
But of course with me and many people.
7:50
If we have a curious mind, we go to search and we go to Dr.
7:53
Google.
7:54
So I Googled.
7:56
Vitamin C and I Google certain things and to find out there are so many people out there that are healing.
8:02
They bodies.
8:04
Implementing these things.
8:05
So I got so excited.
8:08
And also scared.
8:09
I'm like, wow, these things could work.
8:12
Nobody told me about these things.
8:13
What is happening?
8:15
And I find myself doing research.
8:17
I find myself learning, educating.
8:20
Myself and how to heal my body.
8:23
Without a medication.
8:25
And of course the journey was frustrated.
8:28
Hard.
8:29
Because I'm not taking a pill.
8:32
And find myself being patient.
8:35
Right.
8:36
Not really expecting.
8:39
Things to work right away, not focusing on instant gratification, focusing on delayed gratification.
8:44
And I started learning about integrative medicine.
8:47
And this to me was mind blowing.
8:49
Oh, my God, you can take some supplements.
8:51
Like you can really take magnesium and that's going to help you with your, High blood pressure.
8:56
You can change your diet and that's going to help you with your diabetes and high blood pressure.
9:01
And these conditions are lifestyle.
9:04
You don't have to do much.
9:06
I was really shocked.
9:07
I'm like, wow, nobody told me that like, I'm upset.
9:11
I am frustrated that as a solution out there and nobody's told me about it.
9:16
No doctors.
9:17
And I started talking to some of my colleagues.
9:19
They be.
9:20
Ah, please, that doesn't work.
9:23
Only medications.
9:24
Just take the pills.
9:25
That's why big pharma has so many medications out there.
9:28
If this didn't work, try this one.
9:30
If this one didn't work up at increase the dosage of the doses, didn't work.
9:34
Try a new one or contact your pharmaceutical rep.
9:38
To help you with that.
9:40
But I started to change my diet.
9:42
I started removing processed food fry foods.
9:46
I started to eliminate the coffee with the milk and the creamer.
9:49
I started to eliminate bagels.
9:51
I started to like little things and I started.
9:54
In improvement.
9:56
Slowly, but surely.
9:58
I started to focus on herbs.
10:01
So I went back and we learned everything.
10:05
Everything, how your body works, how your cells in your tissues and things can rejuvenate.
10:13
How the body wheelie.
10:15
Here when there's no chemicals, when you do less, when you keep it simple.
10:21
So I went back to eliminate my chronic fatigue.
10:24
My fibromyalgia.
10:25
My IBS.
10:27
With my chronic constipation, my brain fog, my skin issues improve.
10:33
Everything improve.
10:34
And then I plateaued.
10:35
If I'm being honest.
10:37
I was like, oh great.
10:38
So I heal my body.
10:39
Now I can go back to Eden and doing the same thing I was doing because I'm held.
10:43
And then the symptoms that equipping back slowly.
10:47
Slowly and slowly.
10:49
And I find myself on a roller coaster.
10:52
Like, what did I do wrong?
10:54
Why am I still having this?
10:55
The bloat, the gas, why my belly is still extended again.
11:00
Why is the chronic fatigue not going away?
11:04
I was losing my hair.
11:06
Right.
11:07
My head was spinning again.
11:08
What is happening.
11:10
And to find out.
11:11
Yes, I did make some dietary changes.
11:15
But I never really focused on pathogens.
11:20
I never really decrease.
11:23
Pathogenic toxins.
11:25
And the toxins mycotoxins, biotoxins the things that are produced by your parasites.
11:31
Mode.
11:31
The fungus, the yeast.
11:34
The bacteria, the viruses.
11:39
I was frustrated.
11:40
What is happening?
11:43
So I'm not healing properly and I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do.
11:46
What's happening.
11:48
Then I started learning about herbs that are, that can act the same way as medications.
11:56
Herbs that can add the same way as an antiviral.
12:00
And Tom at Cobia.
12:01
Herbs antifungal and type aesthetic.
12:04
Antiviral herbs.
12:05
Again, of course, I went back to London.
12:08
And then I was trying to get this knowledge.
12:12
And implementing.
12:13
In other people's office I've worked with chiropractors.
12:17
I've worked with different type of, Practitioners helping them grow the practice, implementing what I learned in the functional medicine space.
12:26
To help other patients.
12:28
And to be honest with you, I was still not happy.
12:31
Because when you work for somebody.
12:33
You have to follow this.
12:34
Person's.
12:35
Instructions.
12:37
You know, when you work with somebody.
12:39
I found myself focusing on revenue, revenue, revenue, not so much focusing on the patient and the human being.
12:46
And then I decided one day to open my own clinic.
12:48
From New Jersey called wellness corner.
12:50
Kona, N G I decided to open my own space so I can really practice the way I want to.
12:55
Where I can spend the time with my patients where I can follow up with them.
13:00
They, can have access to me.
13:02
cause one thing I realize treating your body healing.
13:05
Your body is not as simple as take pills or supplement.
13:09
You changed your diet?
13:10
No, not as simple as that.
13:13
There are so many factors, so many things that you need to consider when it comes to healing your body naturally.
13:20
And I went on a journey with my patients happen hundreds of people.
13:24
Here's the bad is naturally.
13:26
Well, we really dig deeper identifying the with cause.
13:30
And looking under the hood and identify what's what's happening.
13:34
What's causing all the symptoms.
13:36
Why are your symptoms?
13:37
Not going away.
13:39
Why you still have the fatigue while you still have the wind fog?
13:41
Why, why is the anxiety.
13:44
The hair loss, the skin issues, your psoriasis eczema.
13:48
Well, why are these things not going away?
13:51
You can take all the supplements, right?
13:53
You can take all the medications, all the herbs.
13:55
But again, People were platform.
13:58
So I opened my own clinic and since then I've been helping people for the past five years.
14:04
Healing.
14:05
We're connecting.
14:06
Understanding.
14:07
They bodies.
14:09
Understanding and loving.
14:10
The person that they are.
14:12
That looking at the symptoms as a problem.
14:15
And that looking at the way they've been treated in the medical space, thinking that they are crazy and something's wrong with them.
14:21
We saw so many success stories.
14:23
I mean, we have people transform the lives.
14:26
People were referred people to me.
14:28
So I find my passion.
14:29
I'm like why that's what I was meant to do.
14:31
And every day I would cop I show up differently helping people looking forward to helping many, many, many, many more.
14:40
And now I have this podcast where I can reach more people.
14:44
And hopefully.
14:46
I can give them some tips and tricks and resources and tools they can implement.
14:52
To heal their own bodies.
14:53
To at least understand what's going on within.
14:56
Because there are three things we need to do.
14:58
In order for us to heal.
15:00
Oh, there are so many things we need to do.
15:01
But the three things that I focused on is identifying the would cause limited in toxins inflammation, and then get rid of disease.
15:07
That's it.
15:08
So I will walk you through.
15:10
How to do these things.
15:11
So it is my passion to really educate people.
15:15
To show them what is possible.
15:17
How they can improve their own health.
15:19
Because one thing we don't want to do, we don't want to just transfer our power to other people.
15:25
What is your doctor?
15:26
Your loved ones.
15:28
You, we don't want to do that.
15:29
We want to be in charge.
15:30
We want to acknowledge what's going on in what we can do better.
15:34
We're not evolve.
15:36
Evolution of a lifetime.
15:39
In our house.
15:40
In ourselves in our career.
15:43
In all aspects of life.
15:45
