Transcript
- 0:00you are listening.
- 0:00Listening to the prepared patient podcast with Dr.
- 0:04Jennifer GNC, where we discuss what it really takes to heal your body.
- 0:09With the symbol tools we source is a mindset to get you there.
- 0:13I am determined to show you the reality of navigating the medical space as a patient caregiver and loved ones.
- 0:21So you can be empowered and take back the most precious and important asset of your life, which is your health.
- 0:28Let's get ready.
- 0:29Comfortable and get started I was just sitting here working hard and I've been getting some messages, you know, from.
- 0:38Patient and they know we are not, or I'm not in the office.
- 0:42They wanted to know what's going on because not too many of you guys know that I am traveling.
- 0:47But, as I'm sitting here, I just finished putting together a podcast from the prepared patient podcast, and every Wednesday we have new episode release.
- 0:55And I feel so empowered, so motivated to keep working.
- 0:59You should listen to the podcast that's gonna be released on Wednesday to get some tips.
- 1:03So I'm in the hotel room.
- 1:04I'm in Nashville, Tennessee and I am here for business, a bus.
- 1:09How do a business mastermind event where I'll be working with my business coach, the famous Stacey Leman.
- 1:16and it's gonna be like a lot of us, because I've realized that.
- 1:19I am not a business savvy, is that the word?
- 1:22I'm great at clinical.
- 1:23Like literally, great.
- 1:24You'll give me a health issue, you give me a symptoms, you give me a diagnosis, and I can give you so many things you can do to help eliminate that symptoms.
- 1:34However, when it comes to business, when it comes to putting my offers out there, when it comes to telling people that I have something that can benefit them, I am not that great.
- 1:42As a matter of fact, I have to work on.
- 1:44My mindset, on the belief system that I have, that healthcare should be free because I am a firm believer that health is the only thing that you cannot replace.
- 1:54So therefore, since it is the most important asset of our life, I keep saying, I keep telling myself, oh my God, it should be free.
- 2:00So at the beginning of my journey when I just opened my clinic, I used to give away all my services.
- 2:05I literally used to give away all my services, like.
- 2:08Fake it.
- 2:08Give me a few pennies.
- 2:10And then when, I mean, the first year in business, I made no money, like zero money.
- 2:15I was literally digging into my savings to keep my doors open the first year of my business.
- 2:20So, and then I had a hard to hard talk with Marilyn, my office manager.
- 2:25She's, uh, she's everything, Marilyn and Lynn are everything to me.
- 2:28And she was like, Dr.
- 2:29Genty.
- 2:30I would love to keep having a job.
- 2:31I would love to keep coming here.
- 2:33So therefore, we're gonna have to do something.
- 2:35You cannot be given the services for free.
- 2:37Patients will come to me and be like, oh yeah, the IV vitamin therapy is really good for energy.
- 2:42it's only like, at that time it was one 50.
- 2:44It's one 50, but you know, I can give you a discount because I really want you to get energy.
- 2:49I really want you to get rid of your burn fog.
- 2:51So therefore take it, tell Marilyn to give it to you for a hundred dollars.
- 2:55Right.
- 2:56Knowing that my, I know some of you guys that are business savvy, they're gonna watch this.
- 3:01They'll be like, okay, that's stupid.
- 3:02How did you, how are you expect them to, to make money if you literally giving up services for free?
- 3:07But again, it's the belief system that I have or had is the mindset that I have.
- 3:13Telling myself that, hey, these people needs to heal the bodies.
- 3:16They need to have energy.
- 3:17They need to get rid of the brain fog.
- 3:18They need to get rid of the gut issues.
- 3:20And since I have something that can help them, I should literally give it to them.
- 3:24They can pay me a little of money and get everything.
- 3:26Not good for business.
- 3:28Because at the end of the first year go and even half of the second year of me being in business, we made no money.
- 3:34And I find myself continue working.
- 3:36Even, I wanted to transition full-time into my business since we had made no money.
- 3:40And again, me closing my door, be doing a, doing a disservice to the community.
- 3:45So I was literally using the savings, the money that I have to, purchase the stuff to afford my overhead cost.
- 3:52So, and I've had, business, Mentors before I've, I was part of this group just around C O I D and I paid 20 k was 20 k at that, that time.
- 4:02And I have to tell you, I learned nothing.
- 4:04I, I literally learned nothing from that group.
- 4:06I was so distressed.
- 4:09I was so miserable because I'm paying a lot of money.
- 4:12And I still find myself with the same mentality, the same mindset, the same everything.
- 4:18So therefore there was, I wasn't moving the needle forward to really help my business, right?
- 4:23So we are in business to help people.
- 4:26Money is an exchange.
- 4:28So if I don't feel comfortable asking for the money, then people will not feel comfortable giving me the money.
- 4:34So I've been working on this mindset for a long time now.
- 4:37I literally working on the mindset, I have to literally tell myself it's okay to ask people for money.
- 4:43It is really good to ask people for money.
- 4:45And I used to discount my program so low that one day a patient was telling me like, oh, this is very cheap, right?
- 4:52Like it's very cheap.
- 4:53And I'm like, oh, okay.
- 4:55Because again, I was not only people pleasing, I wanted to help people so much.
- 5:00'cause I'm like, you cannot go through life with you feeling fatigue.
- 5:04Like it should not be happening.
- 5:05You should really have tons of energy.
- 5:07How are you gonna perform?
- 5:08How are you gonna be there for yourself?
- 5:09How are you gonna be there for your family if you're constantly tired?
- 5:13So I was literally like chasing people, begging them to work with me because I have a program that works.
- 5:19I have something that can benefit them.
- 5:21And then of course, people will come to you because we live in insurance world, and my services are not covered by insurance.
- 5:28They'll come to you and literally asking you for discounts, literally asking you for, you know, the, the service for free.
- 5:34And since I am, again, at that time, I was very vulnerable in the fact that I really wanna help people not having any business sense at all, not really looking at my profit and loss statement.
- 5:46Or the cost of, you know, practicing and the people that I need to pay the team, my overhead costs, the rent, the, all the, utilities, all the costs, all my expenses.
- 5:56I used to literally give things for free.
- 5:58And then at the end, when I'm talking to my bookkeeper and team, they're literally looking at me like, you're a doctor.
- 6:04You're not making any money.
- 6:05Like what?
- 6:05What?
- 6:06What's up with that?
- 6:07So I decided as I am improving myself, as I am educating myself as I am, like working on my personal development, also professional development to hire a business coach.
- 6:18So that's why I'm here in Nashville, Tennessee, I've been listening to Stacy forever.
- 6:24I usually do my research before I hire people.
- 6:27And granted, sometimes people put information out there that sounds really good, but when you get into the container, it's not what you expect.
- 6:34That happens to me a lot because I have a desire, right, to really impact the world and have a desire to help people.
- 6:40So therefore, I don't wanna do it and not getting paid.
- 6:43Right.
- 6:43Like a, an unhappy doctor will produce unhappy results.
- 6:47Unhappy will provide unhappy care.
- 6:49A lot of doctors are working two or three jobs'cause they're trying to money to take care of the families, to take care of themselves and the business that I'm in, the world that I live in, that people don't wanna pay.
- 7:00You see, that's a mindset.
- 7:02That is a terrible mindset.
- 7:03That's a terrible belief.
- 7:05I'm saying to myself, people don't wanna pay to heal the bodies.
- 7:08So that's why I'm, I hired this, powerful business lady.
- 7:11She's been selling maps at Walmart.
- 7:13She is amazing and she's gonna help me work on my mindset so I can show up differently so I can actually be happier as I'm providing the service.
- 7:22And then the people that are for me will see the value in what I'm providing And will make that exchange.
- 7:28Right?
- 7:28They'll give you money and then they will get the results they're looking for, right?
- 7:32I mean, of course people will come to you, they wanna use their insurance.
- 7:36It's not because I don't take insurance.
- 7:37I would love to take insurance.
- 7:39It's because insurance doesn't pay for natural medicine.
- 7:41And she doesn't understand why you have to see your doctor 300 times.
- 7:44And for me, if you are in one of my container, I'm literally communicating with you on a weekly basis.
- 7:49I'm literally seeing you a lot because I'm monitoring your progress, I'm monitoring your, improvement, and I want to make sure that you notice someone here you can reach out, like we are literally available to our patients.
- 8:01That's not covered by insurance.
- 8:03Right.
- 8:04So when I tell people, yeah, I know you're paying$6,000,$8,000, yes, but you're paying for results.
- 8:10Like if somebody shows up to me and say, Hey, Dr.
- 8:12Gente, I have a pill that can help you with your cancer.
- 8:14I'll pay zillions of dollars for that pill.
- 8:17Right?
- 8:17But that doesn't exist.
- 8:19So people will.
- 8:20Come to my container, come to my, practice expecting for the services to be free.
- 8:26However, people are paying like thousands of dollars in their houses fixing the roof.
- 8:30If the roof is taken and then you have a company come over and they asking for$15,000, trust me, you better believe you're gonna find a$15,000 because we know that the homeowner insurance companies, doesn't really cover everything.
- 8:43But yet when it comes to health, people don't wanna pay that amount of amount of money'cause they wanna use the insurance.
- 8:49And that's the, that's the thing I'm working on the most to attract people that really understand the value.
- 8:55'cause we do a lot of deep work with our patients.
- 8:59Like all my patients will tell you, they get access to us on a weekly basis.
- 9:04I'm literally monitoring because I know healing your body naturally can be the most, amazing, but the most work you have to do because we're not popping a pill that's gonna numb our symptoms and making us believe that we are healing that's what medications do.
- 9:18There's no healing when you take medications.
- 9:20So I find myself most of the time convincing people.
- 9:23'cause I'm like, you don't wanna come back to me when you have cancer.
- 9:26Like, we don't wanna do that.
- 9:27Right?
- 9:28So it's very important for me to really not only work on my mindset, work on my belief system, work on that, on that person that I'm believing, right?
- 9:38So that I can attract like-minded individuals.
- 9:40Because if I can pay 25 k.
- 9:43For six months.
- 9:44Six months, 25 K for six months to work with a business person.
- 9:48And Stacey has over a hundred people, right?
- 9:50Like they all paying 25 K and her million dollar, mastermind, they paying 50 K, and sometimes when we make that investment, like we are gonna do the work, it's not like I know I'm gonna pick 25 k, boom, I'm gonna be super busy.
- 10:03No, I have to still show up and do the work.
- 10:05I have to still be present.
- 10:08Like really do the work.
- 10:10She's not giving me like a pill that I'm just gonna swallow or like a, a framework that I'm just gonna implement and then boom, no, I'm paying to really do the work I'm paying to really identify the person that I am, the person that I'm becoming, the person that I wanna attract, my ideal patient, my avatar, because some of the people we are getting in the last few months are not the people for me.
- 10:35They call you scammer.
- 10:36I had a patient that called me the other day, scammer.
- 10:38She paid$430 and the$430 includes two hours of consultation.
- 10:45Talking to her, and then the work that I do behind the scenes.
- 10:48And then at the end she had a, a diet, like a elimination diet, four$30 because she doesn't have money.
- 10:56She is, she's calling me a skimmer and she's gonna report me to all the people.
- 11:00$420.
- 11:01She was expect for me to cure her because I told that I cure people.
- 11:05There's no way in any of my marketing, any of my platforms that I'm claiming to cure people.
- 11:10So she got very upset because for the four 30, which we identified the will cause when you pay four 30, you like four hours of me working right?
- 11:19Like two hours behind the scenes because we usually have our patients send over the intake form.
- 11:24Laboratory blood work, and I sit down and I study everything because the goal is not for me to be another doctor that's just gonna tell them everything is fine and keep repeating the same mistake over, over again.
- 11:35And then when they come in for the first hour of our consultation, we get to sit down and talk about what's going on.
- 11:41And then I give'em a LabCorp script because LabCorp is covered by insurance.
- 11:46They go and do the LabCorp or maybe, uh, recommend some functional medicine tests.
- 11:50And then you come back for a second hour, right?
- 11:53So it's like a lot of work when many people pay$300 insurance covers$300 for 15, 20 minutes of your doctor, spending time with you in the conventional world, right?
- 12:03You might be saying, my doctor gen, the insurance is paying for it.
- 12:06Guess what?
- 12:07You pay the insurance.
- 12:09All the copays add up.
- 12:11So$430.
- 12:12The lady was very upset.
- 12:14So I'm just hearing, I'm just waiting for her to come back with all the claims or whatever.
- 12:17So I don't care.
- 12:20I really don't care because under my conscious clear, we do a lot of work for four 30, a new hire doctor, to help you identify the word.
- 12:29Cause there's no treatment protocol, like there's nothing that comes with the four 30.
- 12:34It's for me to help you identify the cause.
- 12:36Because once you identify the cause, then you'll be able to know exactly how to heal your body.
- 12:42So you take four hours divided, I mean four 30 divided by four hours.
- 12:46So now you see how much we get paid.
- 12:48Okay?
- 12:48Four 30 divided by four hours, which is not even close to what insurance is paying right now for you.
- 12:55So it's the thing, those things kind of make me see how I'm doing something wrong because I am.
- 13:03I create the results that I have now.
- 13:05So therefore, if I want to attract high quality patients, people that actually ready to do the work, that's ready to pay for the work that is actually, gonna put in the work.
- 13:18Like I don't want to chase people like you pay money.
- 13:20I don't wanna chase you.
- 13:22You have access to the portal of the gut declaring program.
- 13:25I have videos, I have modules.
- 13:26I give you over 300 plus recipes.
- 13:28I mean, I give you everything that you need.
- 13:30And then you also get the the all the supplements because I only want people to take supplements that I know that has been proven to work so we don't waste time and waste money.
- 13:39So I don't wanna chase you.
- 13:40Like this lady that I hire, Stacey Biman, right?
- 13:4325 K.
- 13:44She's not gonna chase me.
- 13:46She's not gonna contact me.
- 13:47She's not gonna say, Hey, Dr.
- 13:48Gen Z, you pay 25 K.
- 13:50Why you not doing the work?
- 13:51Like I'm grown.
- 13:53I'm a grown woman.
- 13:54I paid money for the results.
- 13:55So I get to show up how I wanna show up.
- 13:58I get to determine the outcome of me working with her for six months,$25,000 for six months, my friend, I paid this lady.
- 14:07And guess what?
- 14:08You have to finish paying the whole thing before you can show up for the Mastermind Live event like I am here now.
- 14:14Okay, so.
- 14:16When I tell people, when you invest in yourself, the more you invest, the more you show up for yourself, the more you do the work.
- 14:22People don't understand, like we cannot nail piece your care.
- 14:26You cannot just say, uh, looking for the most cheapest program because cheap program will give you cheap results, right?
- 14:32We'll lead you down to frustration.
- 14:34We'll lead you down to disappointments and I don't wanna do that.
- 14:36I much, father don't.
- 14:37You don't work with me.
- 14:38You take that$430 or$2,000 somewhere else.
- 14:42Then me trying to meal P.
- 14:44Okay.
- 14:44And give you little things.
- 14:45At the time it doesn't work.
- 14:46It doesn't work.
- 14:47I will never do that to any of my patients.
- 14:50I'm not sure they let the money go,'cause I know what's for me will always come to me and it's always gonna stay.
- 14:55I am here working on me becoming the better, doctor, but also the better businesswoman that really creates the results that I'm looking for because a happy human being is a happy world.
- 15:08That's the way I see it.
- 15:10And I'm just gonna sit here, continue to pound away, continue to put out my message, continue to put things, like, describe things so easy so that people can understand what's going on with the bodies internally so that they can take actions.
- 15:24Right?
- 15:25So that's what I'm doing today.
- 15:26I feel so motivated today.
- 15:27So empowered, I'm ready.
- 15:29I'm ready for all the judgment.
- 15:30I'm ready for all the criticism, I'm ready for all the naysayers.
- 15:34I'm just ready.
- 15:35Like I need to stop killing what other people think about me so that I can really put myself out there and make an impact and make, you know, like create the results, right?
- 15:43Because at the end of the day, If you don't have your health, you don't have anything else, and I have something that I can help, that can help people that are suffering with a lot of health conditions, a lot of symptoms.
- 15:56I have a program that has been working four years now I need to put out there, so I'm just gonna learn how to do that.
- 16:03I'm gonna learn how to communicate to all the people that are interested, and then it is gonna be exchanged.
- 16:08You give me money, I help you get results.
- 16:11Okay, so that's the way it is.
- 16:13Like you give me money, I help you get results.
- 16:16Like I'm giving this lady 25 k and she's gonna really call me on my s h I t.
- 16:22When I not showing up for myself and just still complaining, I'm not getting the results.
- 16:27She's literally gonna say, like you say you wanna make an impact in the world, but yet you eating bon buns and you like doing nothing.
- 16:33That's why.
- 16:34So the accountability's gonna be there, the support's gonna be there, but really I'm gonna feel so supported this is some intensive work we're gonna be doing and I welcome it all.
- 16:46So I'm just letting you guys know this person you see today, like this doctor is gonna be.
- 16:51It's different.
- 16:52Like when I come back, I'm gonna come back with interventions because I need to help people.
- 16:56I am tired of people being fatigued.
- 16:59Brain fog, like sluggishness, having gas and blood, stomach issues, constipation or diarrhea, skin issues, information.
- 17:07Just sit and do nothing about it.
- 17:09Now if I'm putting my, information out there, you don't want it, that's okay.
- 17:12Like you get to choose.
- 17:13But I feel like I'm not doing enough.
- 17:14I'm not really putting the work out there, and that's the whole purpose of me coming here.
- 17:19So I can literally deliver all of it to you guys.
- 17:23Okay?
- 17:23So stay tuned.
- 17:25I'll be recording and putting all the vital clips and vital information in my YouTube channel.
- 17:31And if you guys like more of these travel vlogs or travel.
- 17:36I found that I am at my best when I'm traveling.
- 17:39It's crazy.
- 17:41My brain, my creativity is at all time high.
- 17:44When I'm away, I don't plan things.
- 17:48So when I just show up like this, it's because it is, I feel called to do.
- 17:51And, whoever's listening, this can resonate.
- 17:54If you know anyone that can benefit from what I just said or anything that I say ever, just please share with them.
- 17:59But yeah, I'm here to really, I'm not here for myself, okay?
- 18:04I'm here for my patients.
- 18:05I'm here for my prospective patients.
- 18:07I'm here for the people that need me in the ward.
- 18:08I'm here for the people that are looking and searching for practitioner like myself.
- 18:12I'm here for the people that are.
- 18:14Ready to invest, right?
- 18:15I'm here for the people that have seen so many doctors wasting a lot of money, and they're ready to work with a practitioner that can get them results.
- 18:23So that's why I'm here.
- 18:24So, but like I tell my patients, it starts with you first.
- 18:28So we start with me, start with me, like working on myself, working on my mindset, and just be out there without apologizing so that I can reach those people that are ready for the message.
