• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balance Life Chiropractic. And we've got doctor Harley with us.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hello, doctor Harley, Hey John.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: We last week we talked about slipping on the ice.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Then I slipped on the ice and broke a TV.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: So what are we talking about this week? Cold? Now,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be cold, right, I mean, we.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Did just get through a pretty good cold snap over
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the weekend.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And it's it's wild how cold it was. Because I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: stepped outside, I'm like, it feels like even colder than
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: it really was. But we had a little bit of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: breeze to go with it. That helps, doesn't It helps
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: make it feel colder?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, So this time of year, you know, we
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: don't realize sometimes how much the cold really affects us.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: And I've had this conversation a couple times over the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: last couple of weeks with patients, and one in particular,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: you know, made me think like we should talk about this.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe you're someone that you've been trying to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: lose a lot of weight and you did recently. Maybe
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you been on the GLP kick and you were starting
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to realize I'm cold all the time. Yeah, Well, you
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: lost a lot of your insulation, which is fantastic. It's good.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You know, weight loss is huge for taking stress off
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: your joints. You're just overall healthier, even more active. But
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: now as we're gonna geto winter, you've lost that warming installation,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: so now you're noticing your cold all the time.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's why I pack on my winterweight typically just.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: To I mean, you know, that's why we reach for
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: comfort food. It's like, especially up here in the North,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that's our intrinsic nature is to stay warm.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: We've been doing the fasting thing, and both Heidi and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I have lost some weight doing that. But I can
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: tell you the last couple of weeks, with all of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the Christmas parties that I've been going to, and then
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, hey, by the way, you get some
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: prime rib while you're here. I'm like, I am going
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to take that prime rib. So I'm like, I have
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: not lost any weight. I've gained about three pounds. So
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for the Christmas season to be done
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: for that reason, if nothing else, right, this time.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Of here is kind of tough on diets. You know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you have Thanksgiving of Christmas of New Year's so if
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you're one of those people that you've been very good
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and you're still losing weight. And one thing I was
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: talking to the patient about, because they're always having more
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: neck pain right now because of the cold, is like, well,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: maybe you know wearing a scarf or you know. She
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: actually found this online. Don't know where she got it,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: but it was like an electric scarf. You know, you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: know we had those heated vests and jackets and stuff.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: It was a scarf. I'm like, that's fantastic. Yeah, And
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: she noticed once she started wearing this, her neck pain
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: got so much better. She wasn't achy all the time
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: because she was staying warmer. She had lost forty fifty
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: pounds over the last year, so I mean, coming to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: this new winter being colder, she was like, this is
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: weird for me.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that that makes sense. And I know, I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was just working with a gentleman that has he was
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: pushing a button like right here on his jacket. I'm like,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: what is that for. He goes, oh, it's a it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a heated jacket. I'm like, yeah, I've never had a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: heated jacket.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I've seen those where you know, I've seen the vests,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the jackets, I've seen gloves. I've seen even boots, So.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like iron Man. I got a little
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: button on my chest.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So if you know you're putting on all the layers,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: isn't enough, you know, sweaters, cardigans, all that because of
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe looking at getting like an electric you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: heated something. You know Christmas is coming, put that on
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: your wish list.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: There you go. And for folks that maybe if maybe
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that's not what they need the cold, but they still
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: this time of year like I did this week, slipped
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: down the ice. And I think it's funny because even
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: before I told doctor Harley that, She's like, oh wow,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you got some stuff going on, and how could you tell?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: You could just tell you were just more tense. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: that's something. And notice like our muscles tend to just
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: tense up a little bit more, especially if you fell.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Obviously that's going to kind of cause them to go
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: into a state of fight or flight. They're ready for
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: action because you fell. That a drenaline spike.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I caught myself, so I didn't fall, but.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: We talked about lot of it that's almost worse sometimes.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Well, and I was not even like down on the ground.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I was still standing. But I was pulling a fifty
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: five inch TV out of my vehicle and I smacked
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it on the vehicle and broke it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: So, uh, yeah, I don't do that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: That's a bad idea, right, But yeah, she noticed, which
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I thought was pretty impressive. And if somebody else listening
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is going, oh, man, I twisted this or I pulled that,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: or I've got this pain or that pain. How do
