Transcript
- 0:06Oh, Speaking of which, welcome YouTube and Twitchers.
- 0:09Welcome. Welcome back twitchers.
- 0:13I don't know what happened last week, but I had to reconnect us.
- 0:17It was broken. It's the Internet.
- 0:22It's the ghost in the machine. That's Sandy Martin.
- 0:29I don't know how it lays out, but over.
- 0:31Here to Sandy Martin. Or she could be open there.
- 0:34She's on my. Left.
- 0:36We should give you up there. Yeah.
- 0:57Hey, boys and girls, it's the Chris and Mike show.
- 0:58I'm Chris. He's Mike.
- 0:59And with this today is Sandy Martin.
- 1:02Just so you know, this show is yeah.
- 1:03Oh, man, I screwed that up. A portion of the show is brought
- 1:07to you by Riverside FM, the one and only choice for podcast
- 1:10platforms. Remember, we are live on Twitch,
- 1:12YouTube and our own personal website, chrisandmikeshow.com.
- 1:15So if you happen to just go to our website, you can watch the
- 1:17show live there as well. And then this will drop.
- 1:19I believe Mike said this is going to drop Sunday.
- 1:23Actually, Sunday, yeah, we're right on top of things right
- 1:26now. You're the quickest turn around
- 1:27show ever Sandy, so no pressure on you at all.
- 1:32Welcome, Sandy. Welcome Sandy.
- 1:34So we're going on a 30 floor elevator ride from the first
- 1:37floor to the 27th. Give us a you got that amount of
- 1:40time to tell us why you're here, what you're all about and what
- 1:42we're going to chat about today. 123 go.
- 1:44Well, I think most people who are trying to fix something with
- 1:48their health or getting it all backwards, I think everything
- 1:52starts with what we stop. I think the biohacking industry
- 1:56has been, well, it's, it's, it's something that people, it's a
- 2:04dirty word. Hacking might as well be the F
- 2:09word. People are upset at the idea
- 2:14that people would hack. And I started my I started my
- 2:17health business in biohacking. And I did that because I had a
- 2:21brain injury after running comic cons.
- 2:23I'm all over the place. This morning I think I got a
- 2:25little nervous because it's live.
- 2:26I didn't realize I was going to be.
- 2:28Live. Oh, don't be nervous.
- 2:29Don't. Everyone knows it's real and not
- 2:32AI, right? Real, raw and irrelevant as I
- 2:36like that. Part of our charm is there's a
- 2:38little bit of chaos within the. Structure, absolutely, and.
- 2:42So I'll say that that everything you can do to better yourself
- 2:49starts with something you say no to.
- 2:51Oh, I like that. And so it's a different concept.
- 2:55And I came to this after a couple of years of presenting
- 2:58exhibitors, trying to push products on people, which I
- 3:01thought was a great idea because in my own experience, I was just
- 3:05fumbling through the Internet trying to find stuff.
- 3:08And I thought if I put them all in a room, it would help people
- 3:11figure out what's best for themselves.
- 3:13Give me an example of what you're talking about, Sandy.
- 3:16So there are things that we can do.
- 3:20Everybody knows what a vitamin is.
- 3:22We call them supplements now because we've got a wide variety
- 3:26of options that aren't just your typical vitamins and minerals.
- 3:30You could take alpha DPC for a brain boost, or you could take
- 3:36Omega threes for, you know, fish, fish oil for heart health,
- 3:39or they're all kinds of things. So we'll call them supplements.
- 3:41And that's one category and the other category would be devices
- 3:45like a red light device or. I like red light.
- 3:50Yes. Or a pulsed electromagnetic
- 3:52frequency PEMF device, or a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, or
- 3:58something that would be designed to activate your body on a
- 4:03different kind of a level. A lot of that can be done with
- 4:06exercise. OK.
- 4:08Yes, a lot of things are. Most of what benefits us is
- 4:15free. Our bodies have a natural
- 4:17intelligence, and our bodies send signals, accurate
- 4:23intelligence reports that tell us when something.
- 4:26'S off OK. And so a problem is a signal
- 4:30that something else needs to change.
- 4:31Usually stopping something harming us is the best place to
- 4:35start. But there's this whole industry
- 4:37of stuff you can buy, and they're all these companies
- 4:39trying to push things on people. And I'm culpable because I
- 4:43assemble them in a room in a trade show setting.
- 4:47And so in bringing them all into a room and I'm, I'm upsetting my
- 4:51exhibitors at this moment. I, I'm confusing the
- 4:56marketplace. You put 50 to 100 different
- 4:58companies in a room that are like, do this for your health.
- 5:01Do that for your health. If you just take the supplement,
- 5:03if you just sit in front of this light, if you just breathe this
- 5:06thing, if you put hydrogen in your water, I mean, it goes on
- 5:10and on and on and on and on. People walk out more confused.
- 5:14Yes they do. So after two years of that, I
- 5:17realized that I needed to put some order into this.
- 5:21And so I came up with the edge framework.
- 5:23My second book is called Biological Edge, and edge stands
- 5:27for eliminate, decode, gain and execute.
- 5:30And so I'd love to talk at length about things we can stop
- 5:34and pick your brains about things we can stop so that we
- 5:37can feel better. And then once we reduce some of
- 5:40the noise, after maybe getting some fragrances or plastics or
- 5:47heavy metals out of our water, air, etcetera, we can feel
- 5:52different and start to understand what's happening with
- 5:54our bodies. That's amazing.
- 5:58I don't know if. You came.
- 5:59Yeah. Go ahead, Go ahead.
- 6:00Being over 50, I refuse to accept that I should be tired in
- 6:06the evenings or that my joints should ache, but I think this is
- 6:11a normal mentality for people. Once you get to a certain age,
- 6:15those things are. Normal.
- 6:16Yeah, I just, I don't expect it. Yeah.
- 6:18So when, when I when. And you can correct me, but Mike
- 6:20and I have had this conversation before and I'm sure you feel the
- 6:22same way. When we were kids, when we were
- 6:24at that 12 year old mark, you know, whatever.
- 6:27Everybody when they hit 40 had the over the hill party, right.
- 6:29And black balloons and shit like you had you had 10 years left
- 6:32and then you hit 100% five. And then you leave you move from
- 6:36the house and you move them to the retirement community and
- 6:38you're dead within 10 years. Yeah.
- 6:40And you, and you could see, you could see when they turn 40, all
- 6:44of a sudden the hair turns Gray. And then when they're 50,
- 6:45they're in walkers and shit. It's, it's crazy.
- 6:47Now I'm, I'm a little different in the sense that, that I'm 21
- 6:52years sober. But when I got sober 21 years
- 6:54ago, my entire addiction turned to fitness.
- 6:57So I'm that guy. When I was 53 years old, I, I
- 7:00ran a mile in under 6 minutes. I, I could run a half marathon
- 7:03an hour and 48 minutes, you know, 8% body fat and, you know,
- 7:08doing 75 hard twice. And I, I stress fraction my
- 7:10foot. So that kind of knocked me off
- 7:11for a little while, but I'm still, I still work out, still
- 7:14do everything I've been doing. But so nobody's ever guessed
- 7:18that I'm over 50. And then when I tell them I have
- 7:20grandkids, they're like, you're too young to have grandkids.
- 7:21And I was like, well, you know, actually my daughter had her
- 7:24first child when when I was 50, So she was 25, which my wife and
- 7:29I have got married at 20 and 25. So that's kind of, you know, we
- 7:35started young. So people are surprised that
- 7:39we're as old as we are. But it's because of the way we
- 7:41live. Like we don't drink, we don't
- 7:43smoke, we're very clean, we eat very clean.
- 7:46I mean, we don't eat shit. We every now and then eat shit
- 7:49'cause, you know, you just do. But on a whole, it's like my, my
- 7:53diet is eggs in the morning, I have some type of chicken and
- 7:56rice for lunch. And then I have healthy snacks,
- 7:59apples and nuts throughout the day and then whatever we have at
- 8:02night. But I don't, we don't go to fast
- 8:04food. We don't eat fried food, you
- 8:06know, we air fry fish and stuff like that.
- 8:08But I think it's all kind of geared towards how you live too.
- 8:11And what you put in is, is what you get out, right?
- 8:15So and what you take out, right? Matters too.
- 8:18You took out the alcohol. Right.
- 8:20Oh yeah. Yeah, I've I.
- 8:23Yeah, I come across people that are my age and it's like, holy
- 8:26shit, you look like you're 75. Oh, for sure.
- 8:29You know, and especially if. They drink every day.
- 8:32Right. And smoke like Sean Penn Prime
- 8:35example. That dude smokes and drinks like
- 8:37nobody's business. We're about the same age and
- 8:40Sean Penn looks like he's 80 years old.
- 8:42Just I saw an interview with him after after the movie every
- 8:46other battle, whatever, which great movie, but it blew my mind
- 8:48how how how old he is and just how old he looks.
- 8:54Just mind boggling. Well, the other thing is stress.
- 8:58Look at that famous picture of Bill Clinton and Sammy Hagar
- 9:01next to each other. Oh yeah, they're like a year
- 9:03apart. Oh, it's terrible.
- 9:05Oh, it's fantastic. They're like a year apart and
- 9:08Bill Clinton looks like he's about 97 and Sammy looks like
- 9:12he's about 57, and I think they're 70 and 71 in the photos.
- 9:17Oh wow. Well, the presidency will aid
- 9:20you. Well, that's why I bring that up
- 9:22because stress is a, even the underlying stress of just the
- 9:26everyday going to work and the grind.
- 9:29And people don't realize that they're stressed subliminally
- 9:34almost, you know, it's just, it's there and they don't
- 9:37realize it because I have to be here.
- 9:39I have to be there. I have to.
- 9:40And they never stop to take 10 seconds for themselves either.
- 9:45I agree with everything Chris said.
- 9:47Nutrition is so important and it's so overlooked.
- 9:51And we've had people like yourself who have had their own
- 9:55take on, you know, longevity and how to remain younger longer.
- 9:59But all the things that you brought up are pretty similar to
- 10:02the things that they brought up as well.
- 10:05I was taking my mom to hyperbaric oxygen therapy after
- 10:08she had a stroke. So it's not that I don't think
- 10:11we should do these advanced therapies because I think
- 10:12they're very helpful when when called for.
- 10:16And we got her better in four weeks with that therapy.
- 10:20But on the way there, she said, Santa, you know, stress can kill
- 10:25you. I was like, yeah, I know, mom.
- 10:28She goes, no, I mean it, Stress can kill you.
- 10:31And I said, yeah, get it. She goes, no, I'm serious,
- 10:37stress can kill you. And I said, yes, mom, it can
- 10:40cause a heart attack or stroke. And she said, oh, I wish I'd
- 10:45known. She didn't know and.
- 10:52Also, she was making the statement like she's did you
- 10:54know? She's trying to say did you
- 10:55know? Yeah, I get it.
- 10:56OK, OK. Yeah.
- 10:58Interesting. And and so when she got better,
- 11:03and I think maybe brain injuries are good for the women in my
- 11:05family, we can go into how I had a brain injury too.
- 11:09But following her recovery, yeah, she stopped hating my dad.
- 11:14Oh. So that's lovely.
- 11:17Absolutely. Ex number.
- 11:19I think you got married in 1969, so it was a long time to be
- 11:23agitated every day of your life. And they go grocery shopping
- 11:30together. Like that's the last thing
- 11:32anybody wants to do with my dad. He looks at every label, every
- 11:36price, how much sugar, how much salt?
- 11:39What does this cost? He's really annoying.
- 11:42And she's like whatever, whatever.
- 11:46So so. So what was your mom's brain
- 11:48injury? She had a stroke in her left
- 11:51lungs and I had a P/E MF device that I was keeping there for a
- 11:57while to help my dad with his osteoporosis.
- 12:00And she felt a little dizzy one day and was like, oh, I guess
- 12:05I'll sit on this thing. And so she, she did a session on
- 12:08it, but her dizziness didn't clear up.
- 12:10And by the next day, her speech started to slur.
- 12:13And we, we think that if she had not sat on that device when it
- 12:18first happened, she might have had, she could have had locked
- 12:22in syndrome. That's what you can have when
- 12:24you have a stroke in your left pawns.
- 12:27It could have been really, really bad.
- 12:30But there was nothing they could do for it either, because she
- 12:33spent 24 hours having a stroke before she realized it.
- 12:37Oh God. Yeah, wow.
- 12:39Made it to the hospital and then they did the CT with contrast
- 12:43and all the things that they do. She'd had an MRIA year prior.
- 12:46Her doctor said there's nothing anatomically wrong with your
- 12:49brain. We knew there was something off,
- 12:52but the doctors don't do enough testing to tell us what's
- 12:56actually wrong with us And and it's not their fault the
- 12:58insurance companies govern what they're allowed to do. 100%.
- 13:02Well, then they're just, and they're just practicing medicine
- 13:05too, Like people think doctors like they should do everything,
- 13:07but they're, they're practice. They're practitioners.
- 13:10You're not. Exactly.
- 13:11Doctors, lawyers. It's the practice of medicine,
- 13:13the practice of law, that leaves them open to make mistakes.
- 13:18Right. Nobody knows everything unless
- 13:20you watch the Pit and know Wiley's character.
- 13:22He knows it all. Every single he has the script.
- 13:26Every single moment of the day, you know, he started remember
- 13:29when he was an intern in Chicago at I forget the hospital, you
- 13:32know, and, and now he's like head of Pittsburgh.
- 13:34It's like he moved further to the East Coast and got
- 13:37completely burned out. It's good to be the star.
- 13:40Right. Yeah.
- 13:43At least you caught that. At least you caught that, Sandy.
- 13:46Some people don't. Some people don't catch my
- 13:47random conversations like about the.
- 13:49Fun. Sometimes he catches you so by
- 13:51surprise. I give him credit for that.
- 13:55Yeah, no, it's all good. So she she just decided that
- 14:00nothing was worth getting worked up about anymore.
- 14:04Now a a year later, she's not as good at letting shit go.
- 14:10But. So, you know, that's something
- 14:12you have to practice every day because, yeah, not only is it
- 14:17the letting things go, but it's the underlying negativity that
- 14:21will also kill you. Yeah, I had to learn that lesson
- 14:24the hard way because I became negative about everything.
- 14:27And I looked around and there was nobody left.
- 14:30You know, I was sitting there by myself thinking, well shit, I
- 14:33guess I'm the problem, right? That's awfully insightful.
- 14:38I had no other choice at that point, Sandy.
- 14:41I had no other choice because seriously, there was one person
- 14:44left in my life that I really could count on.
- 14:48And I'm, I'm talking to him now, you know, we were starting to
- 14:51put another band together. It, it just was a the lowest
- 14:57point in my life. I've seen other people at that
- 14:59point. And you just feel for him
- 15:01because, you know, if you don't change the way you think and
- 15:04realize that every day is a new beginning, you're never going to
- 15:08move forward. So many people live in their
- 15:10past or worse yet, carry around that negativity.
- 15:13Everything is somebody else's fault.
- 15:15They screwed me. The government screwed me.
- 15:17My family screwed me. Well, what are you going to do
- 15:20about it? You know, I was smart enough to
- 15:22look in the mirror and say, I guess I'm the problem.
- 15:25And I'm going to become a positive person.
- 15:27I'm going to try to be nice to everybody, even if they
- 15:29disrespect me. I'm not going to let them have
- 15:32any power over me. I'm not going to be friends with
- 15:34them. But I'm going to be kind as much
- 15:37as I can. I'm following his shirt, right?
- 15:40Yeah, well, I was a raging bitch until I got mold in my brain.
- 15:45Oh shit, I say. I read a little bit about that.
- 15:48You spent. Like almost 100 that for sure.
- 15:50Yeah, well I want to preface it though, you spent, she spent
- 15:52almost $100,000 trying to figure out what was wrong.
- 15:55Yeah, and then you realized it was mold.
- 15:57Right. And so how did getting better
- 16:00cost nearly nothing? And yeah, part of what I spent
- 16:04was $27,000 on a hyperbaric oxygen chamber because they
- 16:08prescribed 20,000 in treatment and I thought well I'll spend
- 16:11the extra 7, have it at home and then other people can benefit.
- 16:16I owned the company of my ex-husband has it.
- 16:20He got in a divorce. It was too big.
- 16:23He'll let me take it back anytime I want, but it's.
- 16:26I would say I got trouble. The thing is so heavy and.
- 16:29It weighs 4000 lbs I. Think it might be 2000 but it's
- 16:32a lot. That's still correct.
- 16:35It we had to keep it at the warehouse, not actually at home
- 16:39because we couldn't get it into the home.
- 16:42So he has it in one of his office spaces.
- 16:44We were running comic cons together and that's a that's a
- 16:50really stressful kind of an event to run 50,000 people in a
- 16:55weekend. Comic Con.
- 16:56Yeah, so ours was Galaxy Con. OK, so what's Galaxy Con says?
- 17:02I don't know. So what's Galaxy Con?
- 17:03Galaxy Con is like a Comic Con, but whereas most comic cons are.
- 17:10Dress up and. That's the same as that, but
- 17:13they they have limited hours and limited content.
- 17:17This is from 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM.
- 17:21Something happening in 10 different rooms at the same
- 17:24time, 50,000 people running around.
- 17:26It's, it's a major undertaking. We were doing fantasy cosplay
- 17:31wrestling and, you know, celebrities on stage and kids
- 17:36teaching other kids how to create costumes or play games or
- 17:40I mean, just everything. It's really a lot of fun, but
- 17:43that's his, that's his baby. And I helped him with it for a
- 17:46long time. And I really felt like the
- 17:48pooper scooper of the business, like felt like the guy that goes
- 17:52behind the horse in the parade and just kind of just scoops up
- 17:56the poop and I gotcha. I felt like really stressed and
- 18:02responsible for everything that had to take place.
- 18:05And I was a raging bitch. And then I was COVID hit.
- 18:11We had to convert the whole thing.
- 18:12We had to refund 400 grand in tickets.
- 18:14We had to convert it all virtual talk about stress.
- 18:17So I built an e-commerce system to make it work.
- 18:22And then in the next month I couldn't run reports on the
- 18:26system I built and I didn't know what happened, but I suddenly
- 18:31couldn't function. Like weird.
- 18:33Everything about thinking was tough.
- 18:37And thinking. Out of nowhere.
- 18:40And so I thought, oh, I fried a circuit.
- 18:44I've been working so hard. I just finally blew it.
- 18:49Like my brain is done. Let me take some time off.
- 18:52Took the day off, a couple days off.
- 18:54Took two weeks off, got worse. You probably should.
- 18:58Oh really? You time off got worse.
- 19:01I got worse. That's that's.
- 19:02Strange. Because I wasn't burnt out.
- 19:05I had mold in my brain, but I didn't know what was going on.
- 19:09I didn't understand. I had painted an area that was
- 19:12wet and I didn't know that it had been, It must have been wet
- 19:17for decades, like it was, it was just a danger zone.
- 19:21But mold exists behind the walls, but it can go through the
- 19:24air and can be in there. And someone who's an expert on
- 19:27it explained to me that it was probably because I was painting
- 19:31in the area that those paint fumes took it directly into my
- 19:36brain through my optic nerve or my.
- 19:38Sinuses. Crazy.
- 19:40And so I went to a screeching halt and then I believe I have
- 19:46no basis for knowing no ability, there's no test that will tell
- 19:51you. But I believe that the
- 19:53inflammation that the mold travelled because it, it eats
- 19:58like it feeds off of us, whether we are alive or dead.
- 20:01So it doesn't really either way. And so it went to the most
- 20:05active part of my brain. Everything I knew to be me got
- 20:10real quiet and, and I couldn't make judgments, I couldn't make
- 20:15decisions. I couldn't decide what goes in
- 20:18that field in that spreadsheet, right.
- 20:21Like, it wasn't just that I couldn't decide What Car to buy,
- 20:23which was also a thing. I had my brother pick a car for
- 20:26me 'cause I had to trade in a lease and get something new and
- 20:30I couldn't make the decision on my own.
- 20:32And so I I picked somebody who I trusted and let him decide.
- 20:36Yeah. And then I I spent five months
- 20:40trying to figure out what was wrong with me before I stumbled
- 20:43on Dave Asprey's book and he described his situation with
- 20:47mold. I got tested for that and sure
- 20:49enough I had the mold and I was able to start to heal.
- 20:53What was the time? Frame between you painting and
- 20:57this first day that you noticed. Two weeks.
- 21:01Wow. OK, so how I was like.
- 21:04Fatigue. Yeah, and.
- 21:05By two weeks, I was toast. I'm curious to know how how so
- 21:09you breathing in, right? You're breathing in the mold and
- 21:12then it just decides to find a place to your brain.
- 21:15So I the cause. So most people who have a moldy
- 21:18environment, they are they, they gradually get sick, right?
- 21:24It's, it's small doses. They get it, over time it builds
- 21:28up. But you disturbed it by painting
- 21:30it, right? Well, I the paint fumes
- 21:33themselves are were carrier. They picked it up and stuck it
- 21:38right in your nose and it went right to your brain instantly.
- 21:42Also my optic nerve, so I don't know if you know, but your
- 21:44eyeballs are actually part of your brain.
- 21:47OK. Really.
- 21:48I guess I did not. No, I did not know that.
- 21:51That they're directly attached to the brain.
- 21:53That's why we do this. I there's my one thing I
- 21:55learned. To do that's.
- 21:56Fantastic. Yeah.
- 21:59And so, and they found it on my optic nerve.
- 22:01So that's one of the ways they test for it.
- 22:06Yeah. And so I just, I went to a
- 22:09neurologist, this I figured out I was sick mid mid-october.
- 22:14By mid November, I was at a neurologist office, had a brain
- 22:17scan. They performed the brain scan
- 22:19wrong and so I was diagnosed misdiagnosed with ATBI.
- 22:25He had take done an intake. I'd hit my head when I was 10.
- 22:28He's like it's come back to haunt you.
- 22:30I see it all the time. I'm like.
- 22:33And how and how old? How old were you when this when
- 22:35this started happening? I was 45.
- 22:37Perspective. OK, so this so so 35 years
- 22:40later, he's trying to say this came back.
- 22:43Wow. Practicing.
- 22:45Practitioners, yes. And so I, you know, I, I refused
- 22:53to accept that diagnosis. I refused to take the drug he
- 22:56prescribed. Good job.
- 22:58And I set out to figure this out on my own and it was slow
- 23:02because my brain wasn't processing.
- 23:04I was still in my intellect but but my ability to discern was
- 23:11off. So I could read and take notes
- 23:15and review them, but it didn't flow like we understand
- 23:21information to be absorbed and digested and.
- 23:24So it kind of got stuck. It got stuck from the eyes to
- 23:27the translation. It just kind of like I'm, I'm,
- 23:30I'm reading it all, I'm seeing it all.
- 23:32I think I'm grasping the concept.
- 23:34But then not processing. Process.
- 23:36It's just kind of lays there. Yep.
- 23:38That's well, that's a trip. That would be so.
- 23:41Frustrating. Wow, that would be.
- 23:45You described it very well. Yeah.
- 23:46Thank you. That's a trip.
- 23:48That's just wow. I can't imagine that that would
- 23:51be frustrating on on his own. And so I I just need to optimize
- 23:56my brain. Oh, it was extremely
- 23:58frustrating. It's like when you're sitting
- 23:59there waiting for a file to upload on your computer and it
- 24:02just never ends. I called it buffering.
- 24:04Yeah, that's it, right. Now, yeah.
- 24:06That's what he just described. It's there's no processing it.
- 24:10Never. Ends right.
- 24:12OK, interesting. That would be horribly
- 24:15frustrating. Yes, it I I went on a wild goose
- 24:21chase to figure out what was wrong with me and.
- 24:23The fact you didn't go crazy is a testament to your willpower.
- 24:27Thank you. It really is.
- 24:29I was really, really dedicated to two ideas.
- 24:35One, it wasn't me because my first symptom was depression.
- 24:42OK, I felt depressed. Anybody want?
- 24:46The brain wants to close the loop, right?
- 24:49Doesn't like uncertainties. So I had a sensation in my
- 24:53emotional and physical body that said my brain said, oh, we've
- 24:58been here before, That's depression.
- 25:00And I was like, yeah, I don't think so.
- 25:04And so I had to argue with my brain quite a bit.
- 25:08And then I really just wouldn't accept that at 45, that was the
- 25:14end of me. Yeah, that's good.
- 25:16It came on stubborn suddenly I am sometimes.
- 25:21That's good though. Yeah, me too.
- 25:23I think we all have that in common.
- 25:25Yeah, so I'm no longer a raging bitch.
- 25:28I might be an occasional pain in the ass, but no longer a raging
- 25:34bitch. How long?
- 25:35How long did it take for the? Is the mold gone?
- 25:37Does it just what you did made it just disappear?
- 25:41It started to go down. I had two tests and it was
- 25:43lessened the second time I took a test, but I'm going based on
- 25:47how I feel. And.
- 25:50I'm almost just afraid to know, like if I still have mold but I
- 25:55feel fine and I'm doing all the right things, then maybe
- 25:59they're. Just a trigger.
- 26:00You thing that makes me. Yep, I get that you.
- 26:04Don't want to be like a logic right now.
- 26:06Right. Yeah, creeping back in trigger
- 26:08you. Yeah, it could.
- 26:08Trigger you thinking, oh gosh, shall I go again?
- 26:10And then you're automatically your your mind's going to shift
- 26:12that way because why wouldn't it?
- 26:13It's human nature, right? Like, oh shit, now I got to do
- 26:16this again. Here we go again, right?
- 26:19That's crazy. Have you guys ever had any
- 26:22mysterious illnesses? I don't, I don't know.
- 26:27No, the more I talk to people like yourself who have, I know
- 26:32you didn't have TBI, but I've taken some pretty serious shots
- 26:36to the head that I never really gave any credence to until I
- 26:40started learning how serious even one of those is, you know?
- 26:45And then I think back to some of the impulsiveness in my life and
- 26:50things that I can't explain. All those things make sense now
- 26:53that I understand that, right? You know, I don't beat myself up
- 26:57so bad for some of the what I considered stupid decisions at
- 27:01the time. You know, where why did you do
- 27:03that? That really made my life take a
- 27:06turn a a hard left turn or a hard right turn that I didn't
- 27:09anticipate just because I made one decision or another.
- 27:13I give myself credit for that those moments.
- 27:17Now, you know, and you don't beat yourself up and be so
- 27:21negative about not being smarter.
- 27:23That has nothing to do with it. You know, you just, you think
- 27:27differently than other people. But I think those, I think that
- 27:31same curse was also a gift in that I've never been able to
- 27:35explain how I can play an instrument or how I understand
- 27:40sound and how something should sound good.
- 27:43And I'd look at somebody else who thinks that something sounds
- 27:47good. And I wonder how do you not know
- 27:48that? That sounds bad, right?
- 27:52So I think that there was a gift that kind of came along with
- 27:55that curse as well. Yeah, Yeah, that could be
- 27:59because if they it, it would be really interesting to see inside
- 28:05of your brain and see the balance between the the default
- 28:10mode network and the frontal lobe.
- 28:12I should default mode network is where that creativity happens.
- 28:16I should definitely go, you know, again to a neurologist.
- 28:20I went after I was in a bad car accident and I was more
- 28:23concerned about what happened in the accident then, you know, I
- 28:26wasn't thinking about anything we're talking about now.
- 28:29I've learned that probably in the last five to six years, you
- 28:33know, just through listening to podcast myself with doctors who
- 28:36understand this and. I really love Doctor Daniel Amen
- 28:41and what he does with SPECT scans.
- 28:44It's really fascinating to see personality show in which
- 28:50regions of the brain are quiet or active.
- 28:53Really fascinates me. Yeah, I'm with you.
- 28:56I would definitely like to see what that looks like in my case.
- 29:02Yeah, so I pulled up one of your pages, Sandy, the 15 biological
- 29:06systems. Yeah.
- 29:09So let's, yeah, go ahead. I want, I want you to kind of
- 29:11elaborate on these things without, without spending, you
- 29:13know, too much time on each one because obviously there's
- 29:15fifteen of them. But I, I, I think what you're,
- 29:18what you're sharing with us is fascinating #1 and and so as I
- 29:23scroll to this, I stop because I, this just, it's fascinating
- 29:27to me. So you're what you're doing is
- 29:29kind of addressing all these 15 biological systems to to have
- 29:34better longevity and healthier life.
- 29:36What I hope to do by outlining the systems which I pulled
- 29:42together using AI. Like, OK, I don't have the
- 29:45education or experience to be able to explain to you how the
- 29:49detoxification system of the body works.
- 29:52I know a little bit about the nervous system, a little bit
- 29:54about breath and circulation, but not to the degree to which
- 29:58we can dive in on the website. But my goal with identifying the
- 30:04systems was to identify how they interrelate and what kinds of
- 30:11activities can enhance multiple systems.
- 30:15And so, you know, if you reduce sugar in your diet, how many
- 30:21systems is affected? If you increase your hydration,
- 30:25you know, how far does that go? Considering that it's your
- 30:32emotional system and your stress response are two different
- 30:35things and and how our hormones coordinate the functioning of
- 30:41our cells is not something I'm equipped to describe.
- 30:47But what I am interested in is getting people to understand
- 30:51that optimizing any of these, and you can go through and and
- 30:55look at the edge framework in each one, is that everything
- 30:59starts with what we stop and then we can decode what's
- 31:04happening in our bodies and only then do I believe we should
- 31:08start adding. OK.
- 31:11I really love the idea of hyperbaric therapy for a
- 31:15traumatic brain injury. I think it's wonderful.
- 31:18But when I was misdiagnosed with the TBI and I put H bot on my
- 31:22brain, it gave me headaches because mold fights back.
- 31:27Oh, that's fun. It gave me headaches.
- 31:29Yeah. Mold.
- 31:30So waste. Of money that keeps on giving.
- 31:33Right. I didn't.
- 31:34I didn't. It helped after I got the mold
- 31:35out, but not before. OK.
- 31:38And so I also have there's a link at the top for decoder and
- 31:43I built an AI chat based on these systems and this, this
- 31:48information so that if you type in something, I don't know, you
- 31:51might want to do this, you can click on decoder.
- 31:53Well, let's do our live, boys and girls.
- 31:56Yeah. Did that share?
- 31:57Did that share? Click on Get Clarity I.
- 31:59Want to make sure it's shared because OK, cool.
- 32:02And sometimes, sometimes when I click something, it won't, it
- 32:04won't share it. We'll let you know 'cause we
- 32:06won't be able to see it. So I'm gonna.
- 32:07So you want me to click on Get clarity?
- 32:09OK, So just type in something. All right?
- 32:12What do you experience? OK.
- 32:14Anything you're feeling and. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
- 32:17do, I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do this for someone I know who's in
- 32:21over the age of 50. And it has to do with with the
- 32:26menopause thing. OK.
- 32:29Why you guys give away all my secrets?
- 32:31That's good. That's that's good.
- 32:34That was personal, dude. I'm sorry.
- 32:38So hip pain and menopause together, there's likely a lot
- 32:41going on. Where exactly does the pain sit?
- 32:43Deep in the joint along the outer hip or more lower back
- 32:45area? I'm just going to, I'm just
- 32:47going to guess. I'm going to say deep.
- 32:49Whoops. This is fascinating, Sandy.
- 32:55Yeah, that's really cool. This is designed to give you.
- 33:00So after three responses it'll give you a summary.
- 33:03So I want you to get. Deep joint, so deep joint pain
- 33:05that connects into the lower back is noted.
- 33:08How long has it been present and did it come on gradually or did
- 33:11something specific seem to trigger it came on and gradually
- 33:18with that? Was my choice as well.
- 33:19Good choice. OK, so those of.
- 33:27You going to start summary and identifying the systems of the
- 33:31body that are related now that you've given it 3 responses and
- 33:35it will continue to ask you questions.
- 33:37OK. What this presumes is that your
- 33:40body is accurately sending intelligence reports about
- 33:44what's happening, and that pain is an appropriate signal, not a
- 33:49problem. If you're having hip pain, your
- 33:53body's telling you to pay attention to what we don't
- 33:58generally know. And interesting that you bring
- 34:03up menopause. I have a very contrarian view
- 34:05about menopause. I believe that.
- 34:10I believe it's not a disease, it's not a disorder, but we're
- 34:14treated as if it is because our health system can't give a drug
- 34:21unless it diagnosis a problem, right?
- 34:24And so in order to sell us hormones, they have to label us
- 34:29as problems in order to give us the hormones to make it better.
- 34:32I'm not anti hormone therapy, right?
- 34:34But I do believe it's like taking an Advil for pain.
- 34:38I think it's just symptom treatment that.
- 34:41So even if so, even if the hormones, taking the hormones
- 34:45actually have had a benefit in this person.
- 34:47Yes, so does Advil takes away pain?
- 34:50Oh. Good point.
- 34:52So we'll reduce a fever. Well, but but what are we
- 34:55addressing and what's going on? Gotcha.
- 34:58Women seem to me to be designed by nature to have these hormones
- 35:03fall off OK and over a certain age.
- 35:06Once we're postmenopausal, they don't encourage us to keep
- 35:09taking the hormones. We can.
- 35:12Some do, but it's this painful mid period that's being
- 35:18diagnosed and treated. And I think that a lot of that
- 35:24pain and suffering is coming from high inflammation.
- 35:27And I think that the estrogen levels that we've had so that we
- 35:31could, I don't know, maybe birth babies through a famine, maybe
- 35:35that protective layer makes us less likely to feel pain.
- 35:41OK. And then when those hormones
- 35:43fall away, all of the damage we've done to ourselves through
- 35:46stress and diet and drinking and whatever else we do, maybe we
- 35:51suddenly just feel the damage we've been doing all along.
- 35:56Right. And so I would encourage anyone
- 36:02my age younger to say, OK, I'm having a hot flash.
- 36:07What did I eat today? Did I, did I get stressed out?
- 36:11What's going on is. There.
- 36:13Yeah. And then is there something I
- 36:17can do to minimize the symptoms beyond just going straight to
- 36:23hormones? Interesting and that's and that
- 36:29and that's basically what you did with your situation, right,
- 36:31because you had all the doctor, doctor, doctor and then you
- 36:34decided, you know what, stop. Instead of doing that, let's
- 36:37find a natural way to to resolve this issue without pumping
- 36:40myself full of the drugs and the chemicals that we all know the
- 36:43pharmaceutical companies a trillion dollar industry a year
- 36:46because America is let's make sure you're unhealthy so we can
- 36:50generate all this income where as opposed to all the other
- 36:53countries in the world. Well, one thing that's the
- 36:55opposite. One thing that she just said
- 36:57that we hear all the time is inflammation.
- 37:00And what is most inflammation caused by your diet?
- 37:03Yeah. Yeah.
- 37:05Yeah, and what's in the water and what's in the air.
- 37:07And, you know, it's not just the diet, but I mean, we do eat
- 37:10every day. Yes, we do eat.
- 37:13We do eat food every day. We have to.
- 37:15We have to. So the.
- 37:17That's interesting. I made reference earlier to
- 37:19mold, not caring if you are alive or dead.
- 37:24When I finally figured out it was mold and my first Doctor Who
- 37:27was who diagnosed it, she put me on a drug called Nystatin and I
- 37:33took it because by that point I was five months and I was
- 37:35desperate. I was going to do whatever
- 37:38anybody said to feel better. And four days in, I just kept
- 37:45imagining myself drowning myself in my tub.
- 37:49And I did not have a history of suicidal thoughts.
- 37:54And the 5th day I went to my cabinet and I took the pill
- 37:57bottle out and I went, oh, you're new.
- 38:01But that day before it was so bad.
- 38:05I'd had a fight with my ex-husband.
- 38:07I couldn't get anyone to help me.
- 38:10I had to call his mother to get any help at all.
- 38:13Like after 12 hours of really like out of my mind.
- 38:17Why am I picking these thoughts in my day?
- 38:21And when I when I recognized the drug as what was new in my
- 38:28environment, I didn't take it. I called my doctor and I said,
- 38:32hey, I can't take this. And she said, I told you you'd
- 38:36need mental health help to get through this process.
- 38:39And I said that's not how this works.
- 38:41You don't give me a drug that gives me suicidal ideation and
- 38:46then I just go talk to somebody about it so I feel better.
- 38:49That's not how we do this. And.
- 38:51That was my. Real turning point, that was
- 38:53when I had to take matters into my own hands because I couldn't
- 38:57trust the doctors at all anymore.
- 38:59And I did go to another doctor. That's a. 13,000 up front and
- 39:05I'm not because I was desperate, desperate but he had the
- 39:11protocol I had researched and he was going to be the one who
- 39:14could help me and his best advice was to not acknowledge my
- 39:20symptoms which was great advice and it changed my life.
- 39:26But he he also didn't do anything for me and so when all
- 39:32he had. So give me 13 grand and I'm
- 39:34going to tell you ignore your symptoms.
- 39:36Have a nice day, Sandy. Is that check or cash?
- 39:39Because I'll take. You there?
- 39:40I need that job. Right.
- 39:43Yeah, I'd be good at that. He gave me a.
- 39:45Genetic test that he couldn't interpret.
- 39:48Oh, OK. Yeah.
- 39:51OK. And so that.
- 39:53Wow, I could probably do that. It's.
- 39:56It's really out of desperation that I've come.
- 40:00Up with, you know, I had to really parse all the things.
- 40:04Yeah, How? How did I get better?
- 40:07OK. How did I get sick?
- 40:09How did I get better? Which things worked?
- 40:11Which things were a waste of money?
- 40:13And I like to share the story because the the biggest
- 40:17aggravation people have with the longevity space is that they say
- 40:20it's for tech billionaires. Well, I'm not that right And I
- 40:25and. It shouldn't be.
- 40:26It's yeah, I was for billionaires and I.
- 40:29Had I had some money to spend on my brain, but that money didn't
- 40:33even work? Yeah, it didn't get me where I
- 40:36am. And it shouldn't it shouldn't
- 40:38matter what your what your financial, what it was, what's
- 40:42the word, what your financial availability is because of the
- 40:45help you need to live a a a better, healthier life, right?
- 40:50It's just, I mean, I know that's what is that socialism medical
- 40:53medical like Canada A, but I I just, that's mind boggling.
- 40:58Well, there's $1000 for nothing. Jeez.
- 41:02A bunch of tests he didn't know how to interpret.
- 41:04Jeez, let's what? Let's smear him?
- 41:06Let's do a smear campaign. That is terrible.
- 41:10It really is. It's.
- 41:11Ridiculous. And you said it earlier, Sandy,
- 41:13we're not. We're not discounting modern
- 41:16medicine because modern medicine has its place.
- 41:19And if you're dying and you need a blood transfusion, you should
- 41:22go get a blood transfusion so you don't die.
- 41:24If you need whatever to stay alive, my dad's on medicine that
- 41:29keeps his heart in rhythm, right?
- 41:31There's no reason he shouldn't take that because he's a
- 41:33naturalist. There's a version of lunacy on
- 41:37both ends, right? But I think it's important for
- 41:40people to understand, like you said, if you're going to your
- 41:42doctor and you are not getting any better, there's no reason to
- 41:46continue to go to that doctor, right?
- 41:48You should go either get a second opinion or start doing
- 41:52your. I mean all the You have the
- 41:54Internet at your disposal, you have most of the answers you
- 41:57need, you just have to ask the right questions.
- 42:01Right, but at the same time you don't.
- 42:03Is self diagnosing always the best approach?
- 42:06No, that's why I said I think, yeah.
- 42:08And she did it. She went and got a second, a
- 42:10third, a fourth, a fifth opinion.
- 42:12But right, your situation was so unique and there's a lot of
- 42:16people who end up in these unique situations where you're
- 42:20being attacked by something that is not normal on a day-to-day, a
- 42:24day basis for most people. Well.
- 42:26Let's talk about what I would have been diagnosed with if I
- 42:28hadn't kept fighting. Yeah.
- 42:30Chronic fatigue syndrome, right. Autoimmune condition, right.
- 42:34You know something? Because the what it causes is an
- 42:38inflammatory response. They call it chronic
- 42:40inflammatory response syndrome. Yeah, that's how did in 2017, I
- 42:49went to my primary and I got a big blood panel done and he's,
- 42:54he I said can we do C reactive protein, I want to check my
- 42:57inflammation levels And he said no, I don't test for that.
- 43:00I was like, why not? And he goes, well, we can't do
- 43:02anything about inflammation, so I don't test for it, but we can
- 43:06do something about inflammation. I'm proofed up.
- 43:08We can. And that's what so much of the
- 43:12industry is missing. They're missing the tools and
- 43:15the wherewithal and the motivation to reduce
- 43:19inflammation. We don't even have a really
- 43:21great way to measure it. C reactive protein, what isn't
- 43:23the best measurement for it? There are other tests that are
- 43:27more specialized that you frankly just can't get from your
- 43:32regular doctor. The interleukin 6, Interleukin
- 43:359, like you can't get these from your doctor.
- 43:37The insurance companies won't let them order those tests for
- 43:41you. They don't want you to know.
- 43:43No, of course not. It's kind of like you have, you
- 43:45have you have the ability to make what is what's the big rage
- 43:48is diabetes to make diabetes medicine, you know very
- 43:51inexpensive, right? And they don't.
- 43:53It's like let's overcharge arm and leg, but you can get Viagra
- 43:56for 5 bucks for a month's supply.
- 43:59So let's make sure you can have sex.
- 44:01But it's the same because it's everywhere.
- 44:04It's everywhere you have a commercial.
- 44:06Every two seconds on. TV no, no, but it but it pops up
- 44:09on everything. It's, it's, you know, anything
- 44:12you have like the fun thing about this show, right?
- 44:15Because my phone's in front of Mike's phone's show.
- 44:18Mike's Mike's phone is in front of him.
- 44:19We all know that, that the phones listen to everything.
- 44:23Because as soon as we get done with one of these recordings,
- 44:25all of a sudden I get these different algorithm.
- 44:26My my algorithms online are so out of whack.
- 44:30This podcast has definitely screwed up you're.
- 44:34Going to get a bunch of menopause ads.
- 44:36Next Oh, I don't doubt that we are just.
- 44:38It's funny. He brings a Sorry to interrupt
- 44:40you. It's funny because I was just
- 44:42thinking about that two or three days ago Go as I'm sitting at
- 44:44break at work and scrolling through my Facebook, I'm like,
- 44:47what are all these? Ohh, these are all podcast
- 44:50people. They were all ads for people who
- 44:53had been on here, you know, the Kava guy and.
- 44:56Yep, yeah, I get Kava emails now.
- 44:58We had this couple on that they're they're they're in the
- 45:01the, the active adult or not the active adult, the the swinger
- 45:05lifestyle called the impulsive duo.
- 45:06So all of a sudden I started getting things for that.
- 45:08Yep, them too. We've had, we've had musicians
- 45:11on and they started getting things for, for music and
- 45:13recording. We have producers on, directors
- 45:14on, actors on, talent agents on. It's it's this broad spectrum of
- 45:18stuff because we started this thing originally just based on
- 45:21recovery, because I'm 21 years sober.
- 45:23Mike's about 15-18 years clean. So it was the foundation was
- 45:27that music. And then we had this stupid
- 45:29little innuendo bit. We were talking for no reason.
- 45:33We had a guest that belled on us and, and it was like, I just,
- 45:35you know, I just want a living, breathing human being.
- 45:37And I was like, you know, maybe we have a zombie and Mike's
- 45:39like, you can't have a zombie. I don't think that would work,
- 45:41right. So that little like less than
- 45:4362nd clip blew up and then all of a sudden people started
- 45:46knocking down our door to be guest.
- 45:48And what we call it is life resume.
- 45:51So you have this amazing life resume, which is you somehow you
- 45:56prompted to reach out to Mike for you saw something.
- 45:59But and so the based on what I read, I'm like when you get
- 46:01Sandy on, even though I had that Little Mix up a couple weeks
- 46:04ago, are you Sean or you Sandy? Because it was weird because
- 46:08there's I know a guy named Sandy.
- 46:09So that's why it wasn't it wasn't off putting to me.
- 46:11I thought maybe it's the same person.
- 46:13And right away we had the same last name and two guests back to
- 46:17you guys were so close together and both it.
- 46:19Was weird. It was weird.
- 46:21It was weird. So but but that's the fun thing
- 46:23about this show. It doesn't matter who you are.
- 46:26And like comedian, we have comedians on.
- 46:27Then all of a sudden I'll have a bunch of comedian shows come up
- 46:29my feed. So when we when we finish this
- 46:31thing and you know, it's going to be all about bio biometrics
- 46:34and different things, health and because that's what it does,
- 46:37which is neat. So, you know, it's interesting
- 46:39to see what the phone picks up, you know, days after the show.
- 46:44And then all the things that we've learned, I'm just today we
- 46:47learned that the optic nerve is part of the brain.
- 46:50I it is. I had no idea.
- 46:51I had no idea. I had no idea.
- 46:54And the fact that you have that really cool bio edge decoder,
- 46:57I'm I'm going to share that with a couple people because I think
- 46:59it's fascinating. You know, I mean, I don't, I'm,
- 47:02I'm pretty damn health. My biggest, my biggest thing is
- 47:05asthma. I've had asthma since I was
- 47:07what, 3 months old? But I was a product of the
- 47:09environment in Illinois where it's like I had to move where I
- 47:11was going to be dead in three months.
- 47:13So we decided Arizona because it's hot.
- 47:15They're tired of the cold. Now, listening to you, though,
- 47:19obviously I couldn't make a conscious decision when I was
- 47:21three months old, But is asthma really a product of who I am or
- 47:25is it a product of the environment?
- 47:29You know, because Illinois, all that mold, right cold.
- 47:33Very good kind of mold too. Oh, sure.
- 47:37Oh yeah. And so.
- 47:39Tons of pollen. Uh huh.
- 47:41Oh, Pollen's crazy right now. Arizona's one of the worst
- 47:44states for asthmatics to move to nowadays.
- 47:46There was a point in time where I was allergic to everything in
- 47:48Arizona except horses, dogs and Guinea pigs.
- 47:51And there was a time in the past where they sent people there who
- 47:54had tuberculosis because it was the perfect arid environment,
- 47:58right? Right.
- 47:58But what happened is, for lack of a better term, while the
- 48:03assholes moved from the east and West of Arizona and brought
- 48:07their plants from those states, and they screwed up that desert
- 48:10environment. And now they have what he's
- 48:12describing. Yep.
- 48:15Yeah. Like one of my grandsons is
- 48:17allergic to Palo verdes, orange trees and any type of wood
- 48:21because his, his dad worked in wood.
- 48:24Like he, he put in wood floors and stuff.
- 48:26So he'd come home from work and he'd pick up trip and trip a
- 48:28break out in high. So I'm like, what's going,
- 48:29what's going on? And they finally get that whole
- 48:32back allergy test for trip and realize, oh, you're allergic to
- 48:35all these things that your dad does for a living.
- 48:37So we had to completely change his line of work and we had to
- 48:39cut down, which I was happy to do.
- 48:41So I hated him. 55 Palo Verde trees and an orange tree just
- 48:45because those alone were were making him chaos, just making
- 48:49his nose constantly run ice water.
- 48:50It was it was terrible. And he's, you know, at the time
- 48:53he was a year, year and a half old.
- 48:55So you he couldn't vocalize anything.
- 48:57He couldn't explain anything. You just constantly running from
- 49:00allergies. I'm really curious, you said you
- 49:03still have asthma. I do it's, it's more like I have
- 49:10an inhaler. I don't remember the last time I
- 49:11took it because it's a PRN. It's a PRN thing.
- 49:14I got to the point when because I've worked out so much because
- 49:17of my running, things like that. I, I like when I ran my
- 49:19back-to-back under 6 minute miles.
- 49:21I didn't take my inhaler. You know, I got in such really
- 49:24good physical condition, cardio condition wise before I broke my
- 49:28foot and I was basically not able to do any cardio for eight
- 49:31months. So I just did upper body core.
- 49:34Even that still helps the the heart cardiovascular because
- 49:37you're still straining and that type of thing.
- 49:40But I've when the pollen's out like this time of year, I notice
- 49:43it's it's even though I'm in shape.
- 49:46I know I noticed there's, there's OK.
- 49:48If I don't catch my breath when I first start running, I can't
- 49:51catch my breath. As long as I start with a good
- 49:54breathing pattern, then I'm cool.
- 49:56But up in the if I'm in the midst of something, one of those
- 49:58days where I just and there's days like that, I just can't
- 50:00catch my breath. No matter what I do.
- 50:02I just can't catch my breath when I'm running.
- 50:03So then I got to slow down and walk it out and and start over
- 50:06again. So what I think is really
- 50:08fascinating about all of that is that you have demonstrated the
- 50:12ability to shift your biology from something that people
- 50:17thought you were born with. Oh, I didn't thought it.
- 50:19I never thought of it that way. And so power of the mind might
- 50:24be difficult. That's it.
- 50:26Well, it could be the absence of the alcohol it there might.
- 50:30Well, it wasn't drinking when I was 3.
- 50:33That's true, but there, you know, what's what's in alcohol
- 50:37could be in, you know, for the wheat, the barley, the whatever
- 50:41could have been your diet in some way could have been, there
- 50:44could have been things about it, interesting food sensitivity, a
- 50:48lack of physical vigor, you know, 'cause you aren't running
- 50:53marathons at 3, not nor should you.
- 50:57But there are there are factors that we can shift over time and
- 51:02our bodies completely change over every seven years.
- 51:06Sure, right. And it's a snake A.
- 51:08Snake shed in their skin, right? Yeah.
- 51:10Yeah, and our gut lining repairs itself every three days.
- 51:14And so it's. Really.
- 51:15I didn't know that. Oh yeah, it's all in a different
- 51:17timetable. Wow.
- 51:19But we're constantly remaking ourselves and that's the piece
- 51:23that I think is brilliant. If if you think about the world
- 51:26we live in with AI and how it's going to change everything, Also
- 51:30know its limitations. It's limited to language right
- 51:34now. Every smart thing it knows is
- 51:39only based on what we've been able to put into words.
- 51:42True. And what we yeah, exactly what
- 51:44you feed. Because a year ago, the level of
- 51:46AI was nowhere compared to what it is today.
- 51:49We had a guy on We. Yeah, yeah.
- 51:51Our bodies are working in ways that no one has been able to
- 51:55describe. The.
- 51:57Capacity inside of us is beyond anything ever spoken or written
- 52:02or what have you, so our bodies are still the smartest things on
- 52:06the planet. Smarter.
- 52:08Than us, smarter than the AI, smarter than anything.
- 52:11The body itself is just an amazing thing to begin with and
- 52:14people don't look at it that way, they just the.
- 52:16Brain alone, we don't understand the brain.
- 52:19No starting, that's right. Let alone the rest of the body.
- 52:22That's why it drives you and I'm not, I'm not slamming people,
- 52:24but that's why it drives you. And that's when you see somebody
- 52:26who's who's so OO just overtly obese and just so unhealthy and
- 52:29out of shape. Like you have one body, you have
- 52:31one soul, you have one life. You're choosing to live like
- 52:35that. I just, I can't wrap my hat
- 52:36around that. When you have the ability of
- 52:39self-control and to be, you don't have to be crazy fitness,
- 52:43but you have the ability to exercise and take care of
- 52:45yourself and you know what you're eating is good or bad
- 52:47you. Know, but they don't know they
- 52:48have the ability. My ex.
- 52:50Husband. Oh, I guess that's a good point.
- 52:53Say that again. My ex-husband was £400.
- 52:55We ate. We ate the same things, we
- 52:57worked the same job, really same lifestyle.
- 53:01How tall was he? 511 and he's a big guy and So
- 53:08what I know is that in the same living environment he he tested
- 53:13as having more mold in his body than I did, but it didn't affect
- 53:17his brain. Weird because his fat kept it
- 53:22from harming him. Wow, wow.
- 53:25And so think about every obese person that you see and those
- 53:33fat cells being intelligent, those fat cells being there for
- 53:37a reason. They're a protective layer.
- 53:40They pull toxins out and store them away.
- 53:43Wow. So that you can function And
- 53:48then it just it can just get like.
- 53:51Out of control. Yeah.
- 53:53Thank you. Wow.
- 53:53Wow. And so if somebody is in a
- 53:56situation where their body is saying, no, no, no, I've got
- 53:59you, let me put this insulating layer so you can keep going.
- 54:04And there's a tipping point, right, where it becomes
- 54:06difficult to get back on track. But if we're not interpreting
- 54:11the signal correctly in the beginning, when the fat starts
- 54:15to come on, we just get a little dad bod, or we just get a little
- 54:19junk in the trunk, or we get whatever, whatever stereotype we
- 54:24want to discuss here, then we're not recognizing that the body's
- 54:28doing that to help us. That's interesting.
- 54:32The sugar that we ate, it doesn't have the ability to
- 54:36process fully. So I'll I'll just store that as
- 54:39fat. OK.
- 54:41Because I don't have the ability.
- 54:43I've been overloaded. My, you know, as my body is
- 54:45like, no, no, no, no, OK, I'll store it.
- 54:48And if we don't catch that signal early on, then we can
- 54:52become obese and extremely unhealthy.
- 54:54But it's those early signs. That's kind of the whole point
- 54:57of my work. It's those early signs.
- 54:59OK. Where we can shift and make a
- 55:01change. Otherwise, it's really hard,
- 55:06really hard to reverse the body that's just so overprotective
- 55:10that it's obese to that level. Yeah, that's amazing.
- 55:14So just. Describe two things.
- 55:19The same diet doesn't apply to everybody, right?
- 55:22You just said it. So people telling you that this
- 55:24diet or that diet works, that's all shit advice.
- 55:27You have to figure out what works for you because
- 55:30everybody's different and you just said it.
- 55:32The other thing is, is some people just get a shit roll of
- 55:36the dice. They just do, you know, you're
- 55:39genetically challenged from the get go.
- 55:41So you're either going to have to work harder or like you just
- 55:45said, you're going to succumb to obesity.
- 55:48You're going to succumb to whatever it is, what whatever
- 55:53oddity it is that people are going to look at you and say why
- 55:55is that person different? Part of it's just your genetics
- 55:59too. But it's no more than half
- 56:02genetics. They used to think it was 7%
- 56:06that came out last week and said, no, we actually have new
- 56:09markers. Now.
- 56:09We believe it's 50 percent, 5050.
- 56:13Your genetics can affect your overall outcome, but it's not
- 56:18deterministic outside of a couple of things.
- 56:22No, and it can't be because too many people overcome those
- 56:26obstacles and prove that theory wrong that it could be over 50%.
- 56:32Because if it was, if you were subject to obesity, there would
- 56:36be nothing you could do to not be obese.
- 56:38Yeah, I come. From obese people.
- 56:41But I was bound and determined not to be, and so I'm not.
- 56:45There you go mindset. This has been this has been
- 56:49fast. Oh, it's not sharing.
- 56:50I thought I was sharing. So this has been fascinating.
- 56:52We have been talking with Sandy Martin.
- 56:55It's all about hacking your your bio.
- 56:59I don't know biochemistry, what you want to call it.
- 57:01She has a bio edge longevity summit coming in July, July 10th
- 57:05and 11th in New York City at the Metropolitan Pavilion.
- 57:09Website is bio edge longevity.com.
- 57:13Go there, check it out. You can click learn more.

- 57:25I wasn't expecting this based on what you shared, which is why we
- 57:30love doing what we do because we just the conversation takes us
- 57:33where we go and it's it's I've learned a ton.
- 57:36I know Mike's learned a ton. You got a, a great handle on all
- 57:39this stuff. And I'm going to share your
- 57:41website like crazy to people that I think would take would
- 57:46really, really, truly benefit from it.

- 58:18Yeah. That's OK.
- 58:20I kind of thought that, but I was like, you know, I, I wasn't
- 58:23going to jump to conclusion, you know, but right on Bill Shatner,

- 1:00:21We'll drop it on our on our page as well.
- 1:00:23Truly appreciate you being on the show because time is the
- 1:00:25most valuable come out and we all have.
- 1:00:27So we appreciate you taking time to come and join us today and
- 1:00:29talk. I'm glad we figured out the time
- 1:00:31thing because you know, everybody, everybody gets
- 1:00:33confused when I because I don't change my clocks.
- 1:00:35So when people ask me what time is like, I don't know, Mike was
- 1:00:39trying to explain to me like, dude, you're going over my head.
- 1:00:41So I just I'm Arizona. This is what time it is like.
- 1:00:45That's why I type it's, it's, it's 8/18.
- 1:00:47What time is it there? Because I don't know.
- 1:00:50I don't. Know I've been there for almost
- 1:00:5118 years. And as I'm explaining this to
- 1:00:54him and I'm seeing the deer in the headlights look, I just
- 1:00:57started getting quieter and quieter.
- 1:00:58I was like, Oh yeah, I remember what that was like.
- 1:01:00Yeah, I just, we don't change our clocks.
- 1:01:02I just don't. And, and really, daylight saving
- 1:01:05time was created for farmers. It was not that was.
- 1:01:08That's a myth. Google it.
- 1:01:10OK. Well, I sounded good.
- 1:01:12Yeah, I thought it. Was it was mostly due to the
- 1:01:15railroads before GPS so that you weren't starting trains at the
- 1:01:18same time and they didn't crash into each other?
