  Speaker 2: Hey, good afternoon, and welcome to another episode of Wellness Uncensored.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: My name is doctor Patty G. I'm a stachiatric nurse practitioner,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and we are here to talk about all things that
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: help you to be and feel or become your best self.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: For some folks that are new, we are wrapping up
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: our third season and we kind of came into being
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: at the end of the COVID pandemic or something shortly thereafter.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So much happened in those five years, and as a result,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: many folks don't even know what to think, what to believe,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: how to act. And I don't know if you have
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: all noticed it, but I just think people act and
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: behave just I don't know, it's a little different out
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: there today. I don't know if people are more stress stressed, tense,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: or anxious. I don't know if people are looking for
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: things and are just lost where to go and what
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to do. But wellness and censored is a place that
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you can come to and we will talk about ways
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to stay strong, feel yourself mentally and physically, or at
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: least give you tips and ideas and tidbits of maybe
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: what you can do, what you can try, or you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: can go talk to or just you know, all things
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to help you feel your best self from a wellness perspective.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner, and long before, in my
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: earlier days of my career, I did a lot of
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: stuff with people human behavior. I grew up in the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: nursing profession and did a lot of different things, found
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: my way into hospital leadership, and I really didn't feel
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: like I helped people as much as I do being
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on the clinical side, so be that as it may.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: A lot of what I did before I got involved
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: in the psychiatric side of wellness and mental health healing,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I did a lot of different things to improve human performance, drive,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: different types of behaviors, work groups, teams, efficiencies, process flow,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: all those things that we, I believe, attempt to strive
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to do in our daily work, whether you're in your
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: own business or if you work for someone else, to
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: be productive, to enjoy what you do and to develop good,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: healthy people around you in a teamwork fashion. So that said,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: because today what I find is folks really just struggle
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: with how to be their best self. And in being
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: your best self, a lot of times folks will come
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to me and they come in their stress, they're anxious,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: they're depressed, or whatever they're their issues are symptoms at hand?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Are it could even be I can't think, I can't focus,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I have brain FuG and I find they often tend
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to neglect themselves. So for today's topic of focus is
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: really what's going on in your head? Are you your
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: best friend or are you your worst enemy? Because if
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you can't help you, and you can't be your best
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: supporter or your best cheerleader or your best coach, then
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: we are here to help you out because I promise you,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: no one else around you but you is going to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: really know what's going on with you, because we're not
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: mind readers unless you tell us what's going on with you.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And if you don't want to take care of you,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: how could anyone else do a better job? Think about that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: We may have people help us to do things, We
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: may have people guide us. We may even have people
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: that will prepare things for us or take care of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: things for us. But at the very end of the day,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you're the only person who can move your body. You're
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the only person who can decide what goes in your body,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and you're the only person who can give your body rest, movement,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: good nutrition, Okay, And it really comes down to that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So thinking about what's inside your head, and I'm sure
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: some folks will have some questions or topics or concerns.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: We always are here talking about different things related to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: just the human spirit, the movement of the body, the resiliency,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the workflow of the brain. And I will often give
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: examples so people can kind of relate. How important is
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: it that we take care of ourselves and that we
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: really pay attention to what's going on with and in
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: our brain. You know, the study of the brain. It's
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: such a fascinating organ and it weighs just under three pounds,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: but it is the the most important organ in your body.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Of course, it won't function if it doesn't have oxygen,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: if it doesn't have good blood flow. But at the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: end of the day, we have to be able to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: understand how to listen to symptoms, warning signals, all kinds
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of things right, and your body is the best place
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to start to tell you what is going on inside.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But oftentimes I bet you overlook things. You know, if
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: your mouth is dry, you are probably dehydrated. If you
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: have some stomach indigestion or irritability, you might have some
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: anxiety going on. If you have pain in certain areas
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: your body, your hip, your back, it may not be physical.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: It could be emotional. So if there's no reason for
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a specific pain like a fall or an injury, a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: lot of times we store pain, emotional pain and trauma
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: in our hip. It's just the place goes. And because
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the hip is so close, it's almost like how the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: song goes. The hip bones connected to the thigh bone. Right,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: it could radiate into your lower back area or some
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: part of your sacrum. So the body's response and the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: symptoms and the signs and the different things that you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: experience are usually indicator lights. And how many of us
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: have a vehicle, right, I go into panic mode when
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I see that little low tire pressure come on, right,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: because I'm thinking my tire is just oozing out air
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and I'm not going to make it to my destination.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: We respond to the lights in our vehicle, but we
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: don't respond to the warning signs in our body. Isn't
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that funny? And maybe some of us do, but I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: think we need to do a better job. And so really,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: when you are trying to figure out what is going
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: on and what is best for you, you need to be
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: able to take that warning sign and start thinking about, Hm,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: what's going on in my day? What's going on in
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: my life? Have I eaten? Have I had anything to hydrate?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Have I taken some time to go to the restroom?
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Did I sleep well last night? Right? Did I make
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it to the gym this week? Why are all these
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: things so important? Because your body, you've all heard this,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Your body's meant to move. But your body, in order
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to move and function well, it needs to be fueled.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And fuel comes from the form of good sleep, It
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: comes from good nutrition, and it comes from good movement.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: And we also have to find good ways to have
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: D stressors in our life. Okay, not stressors, but D stressors.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So each week we kind of talk about different things,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and you know, the last couple of weeks we've been
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: talking about anxiety and positivity and overthinking and sadness and
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: ways to fuel our body, and it's really that important.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm just curious, you know, has anyone ever struggled
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and not ever given these areas that you have control
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: over a priority in your life? Right? Folks will often
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: ask the question, well what if this? Well then what
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: about that? And why does this happen? And what does
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: this mean? And those are really good ways to start
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: investigating what's going on with yourself, what's going on with
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: your psyche? And I could go through patient after patient.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: We often will let things that we have no control
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: over affect our life, things that are external to our
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: own physical and emotional being. Now, they may be tied
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to something very personal. You know, you could have a friend,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: a family member, a loved one, somebody close who is
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: either going through a difficult time or has asked you
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: to help them go through a difficult time. Or they
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: may just be wearing you out to your wits end
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: because perhaps they're in a mode of hurt or self destruction.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: But let me tell you, they're going to take you
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: down that road too if you don't learn how to
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: set up pathways or barriers or resilience to be able
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to protect yourself. So where do we start with all
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: this This is why it comes down to you, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: this is why start today. Start at dinnertime. What are
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: you going to have for dinner tonight? Have something that's
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: going to be healthy and nutritious. Don't go to the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: dessert section after you have dinner. Try to lead with
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: a protein right steak or beef, chicken, fish. If you're
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: not a meat eater, you could have hummus, you could
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: have scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs. There's lots of things
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: that we can put in our body, and what happens.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Have you ever noticed when you put good, clean, not
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: processed foods in your body, you tend to respond faster
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and quicker after the meal, when you tend to have
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: to sit down, lay down, take a nap, or you're
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: just done for the day or for the evening. Your
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: body's working really hard to get rid of all the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: food that you've put in it. And as Americans, we
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: tend to eat probably greater than forty per maybe even
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: a little higher than what we really need each day.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: And your body is meant to be fueled. Your body
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: is not meant to be fed. And I think that's
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: where a lot of folks get caught up. And you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: as kids and even as parents, we tell our kids.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: You know, oh, you got to eat three square meals.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: You know, in school they used to teach us you
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: got eat three square meals. I don't know about you,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: but I've never seen a meal that's square. And even
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: when you look at the food groups, it's more of
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: an assortment of colors, right, And you want to pick
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: from the different colors. People may have seen some charts,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: rainbow charts. They say pick from the rainbow, pick different colors.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: You've really got to find what food is palatable to you.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: But you also have to find food that's palatable it
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: is going to fuel you. And I think we've talked
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: try this for three days. If you can try it
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: for a whole week, lead with protein and then move
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: around the color wheel and do vegetable seconds, then do
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: a little fat, then do a little carb and stop.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Leave sugars out, leave sodas out, leave all the stuff out,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Leave salty potato chips, things like that out, and see
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: after the first, second, and third day if you don't
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: feel better, if your mind is clearer. So food is
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: an important way to go, or at least you know
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the food in the food group fashion with leading with protein,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and then there's hydration. Hydration really does not mean sodas
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and bubbles and all kinds of things. It doesn't mean tea,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: iced tea hot coffee, although we don't. All do love
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to enjoy a hot coffee or two, so you know,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I wor a cold one. Actually in the summer, I
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: definitely enjoy them. But it shouldn't be the staple of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: your morning. If you're gonna have a coffee, have a
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: couple of scrambled eggs, or have a protein drink. Now
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I have patients all the time, well I get my
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: protein because I put protein in my coffee. It's probably
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: not enough, but hey, you're on the right track. You've
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: got to have the lead ingredient as protein. Okay, and
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: great question, Kyle, What changes should we start with? These
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: are really the changes you should start with. If you
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: can start as soon as tonight, start with tonight with
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: your dinner. And if you can't start tonight, at least
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: try to start tomorrow or this weekend, because tomorrow is Friday.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And let me tell you, there's nobody, well maybe there's
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: a few people rebel you might be including this our
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: wonderful producer. Everybody say hi to Rebel. Can't wait till
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the weekend, because it has been a week, and I
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: must tell you after last week. You know I was traveling.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I had a great, great, great wonderful time in Tennessee.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Got to meet several of the country music artists. I'm
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: not sure if I told you this last week because
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I was pretty much trying to stay on topic, but wonderful,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: wonderful artists. The guy who wrote Dirt on My Boot
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and a couple other guys. They were out of Tampa,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: these two brothers and the guy who had one of
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the lyric songs that was put on the movie Twilight.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: He wrote one of those songs and gosh, to hear
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: it in person, it was just amazing. Why I tell
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: you that is because it's it's also important to step
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: away from your current scenery to affect some positive change
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: in your mental health. Now, funny enough, in all the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: hoopla and the fun that we had last week, because
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I was at a training event for one of the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: companies I work for. We had a great night. We
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: listened to the music, and then later that night they
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: took us to a Brazilian restaurant, and oh my stars,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I ended up late in the evening with food poisoning.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Not really the way we wanted to go. But again,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: when you take situations, I give you, guys these examples,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: because we tend to get caught up in the things
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: we can't control, and we lament in them. We just
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: mash ourselves of them, and then we make them bigger
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: than life, I promise you, and very much true to
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: what mel Robbins would say in the books she wrote,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: let them, which I talk about often. You need to
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: just let the things around you happen, and when they
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: do happen, like my four lovely four legged creatures, you've
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: got to just work through. And so last week I
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: worked through the food poisoning, and funny enough, I actually
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: felt pretty good the next day and moved in to
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: our last day at the conference, and then got through
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: got back wonderful trip away. But that wonderful trip away
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: made me appreciate being home even more. But it was
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: a nice chance to just clear my head from the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: every day, every day typical scenery. So start today, that's
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: what you need to do. The changes you can start
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: with are the things that you can control. You can
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: control if you go out. You can control if you
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: get in the car. You control where you drive to.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You can control the places that you go or that
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: you don't go to because are they good for you
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: are they not good for you. You control the food
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: you put in your body and the fuel you put
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: in your body. And you control if you sit on
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the couch maybe like you do every night because you're tired,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: or instead you get up, walk around the block and
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: then come in shower, sit on the couch, watch some TV,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: and then go to bed. It is a choice, and
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: we have to make better choices. Life is going to
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: pass you by if you don't start with you and
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: making different choices. So, Kyle, that's one of the things
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I think if you start with something simple, you don't
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: have to clean out your kitchen, you don't have to
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: buy a whole boatload of vitamins. There's often the supplements
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I talk about on here, they're really pretty easy. Protein
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: protein powder is cheaper than buying a pre made protein drink.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: But we need to be able to do what's consistent
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: for you. And so if you know you're somebody who's
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: always on the go and you're not going to stop
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and take the time to open a bottle of water,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: take a sip, put a plastic funnel in and pour
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: in your protein. Then get a pre made drink, put
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: it in the refrigerator. Load up your lunch bag and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: put two or three of them in there and use
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: them as fuel throughout the day. Okay, that's going to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: be a foundation for you to manage your hunger. It's
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: going to keep your brain active, it's going to calm
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: your anxiety, it's going to lift your mood. And so far,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think we've talked about that, that word medicine, right,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: This is just going to help you. Then you come
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: home from work, or maybe tonight, or maybe you start tomorrow.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Make a decision. Do you want to get up fifteen
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes earlier, do you want to walk around the block.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Did you join a gym but just haven't gone, or
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: do you need to join a gym, whatever works for you.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Physical activity is not meant to be a chore. But
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: physical activity is meant to be enjoyable. And I'll tell
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: you my secret, because everybody loves a good secret. And
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: if I give you the secret, maybe you'll tune in
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and do it. I remember back things that I always
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: used to enjoy as a kid, and from the time
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I was you know, high school forward, and then as
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: an adult and then as a mom, finding the time
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to exercise or finding the joy to exercise, it just
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: wasn't the priority. But yet when I did it, some
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: days I felt good. Other days I would go and
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I'd get on the treadmill or feel like a chore.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I changed my mindset. So you have to start thinking
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: of what things did you enjoy for physical movement as
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a kid. The possibilities are endless. Did you like playing tag?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Did you like twirling a baton? Did you like playing volleyball?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Did you like running in the grass barefoot? Did you
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: like walking on the beach? Did you like whatever it is?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You need to go back to some essence of that.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: And why I tell you that because my secret is
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: whenever they asked me what my favorite subject was, it
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: was recess in jim and to this day finished a
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: doctoral degree. My favorite anything is my time in the wind,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: my time moving, moving outdoors, but moving in a way
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: that feels good. And so for me, anytime I start
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: having doubts or questions about I just don't have time
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: to go work out. It is my recess, and I
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: give myself permission how hard or how little I exercise.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: That's one of the things you need to do. Maybe
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: it's not going to the gym, but can you walk?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Do you have gym equipment at home that's getting dusty?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Do you have a treadmill that has things piled on it?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Dust it off? Maybe you like to read a book,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Get on the treadmill, listen to a book because you
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: probably get you know, can you imagine walking and reading?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know how people do it? Some do, but
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I want to be able to take away every barrier,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: every obstacle. You have to moving and fueling. And if
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: you move and fuel your sleep's going to get better.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: It's almost like a chicken in an egg. If you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: sleep better, you won't be tired, You'll be more willing
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: to be active. But folks, we got to start somewhere
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: right and the time is now. I'll said it best.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: What kind of change should we start with? It is
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: truly where you start, it's not where you finish. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: when you look at where you are, you really should
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: make a little inventory, a little list, because write down
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: every obstacle, every challenge, every problem, every barrier in your life.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that list doesn't get over twenty, but maybe you
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: got a lot going on. Whatever your list, okay, make
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the list. Do the list. Make the list tonight, when
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: you stop the car, when the podcast is over, whenever
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: you can make a list of all the things that
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: are barriers and obstacles, roadblocks, you name it. You know,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I lost my cat, my dog pooped on the floor.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: You know my husband's mad at me, my sister is
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: hurting yourself, you know, whatever it is, whatever your list is,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I've got bills to pay. And after you write that list,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and you've got to write another list. What makes you
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: feel good? What could make you feel good? What things
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: do you enjoy? What things did you enjoy? You know?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I love to play volleyball, but it just never fails.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I love to play volleyball, but if I tried to
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: play volleyball now, I probably would tork my shoulder. Used
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to serve overhand, loved it, loved it, loved it. But
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I haven't really done in a while. And if I
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: go out there and just start doing it, I'm going
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: to be sore. I might even hurt myself. But can
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I go to orange theory? Tomorrow morning, and can I
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: go get on the treadmill and can I really crank
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: it out and then go on the floor and do
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: some weights. Yeah, because my body is used to it
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and I'm comfortable, and it's something that I've gotten acclimated
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: to do. So you've got to get reacclimated to things
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: that your body can physically do and that it enjoys.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: And maybe you enjoyed it and now you're not able
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to do it, so let's just take it back a step.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: So physical movement has to happen, and it has got
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: to start today. I also will oftentimes get people that say, well,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I work all day and I'm active, I don't need
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: to work out, and I'm about to get interrupted. Give
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: me one second, rebel, would you put a little thing up?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Are we good? Like in life, you are going to
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: have interruptions. It is the perfect timing for that, actually,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: But like in life, you're going to get interruptions. We
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: can't stop them. You are not going to have It's
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: just so funny this happened because how many times I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: do one hour a week. It's so fun and I
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: wish I had, like, you know, one of these days rebel.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: We're going to be as busy as Joe Rogan. I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: just feeling it right. We'll have a private studio. Nobody
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: will interrupt us. Life will be good. My dogs will
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: be well cared for, but they won't be audible. But
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: life is going to give you interruptions. And when you
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: get those interruptions, what should you do? You pause? Right,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: You just pause for a moment, but then you course
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: correct and you get back. So if you're not happy
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: with some of the things that you've had go on
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: in your life, or you're not happy where you are,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: today is the day to get started. And as you
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: get an interruption, you need to regroup, reset, and get
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: back to what your priorities are. So tonight, you guys
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: need to go home. You need to make your list
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of all the things that are challenging, stressful, get in
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: your way, the why nots, why why can'ts, should have,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: could have woods, And then your next list needs to
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: be what do you enjoy? What makes you feel good?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I'll give you some examples. A hot bath, a massage,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the smell of something lemons, pine strawberries, watermelon, you name
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: it right, Okay, the smells of things do you like music?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Do you like country music? Do you like rock music?
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Do you like hip hop? Do you like wrapped? You
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: like classical? Whatever it is? What other things can you do?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: And you can talk and write down things like skate skateboarding, pickleball, tennis, walking, wakeboarding,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: going to the gym, going to kickboxing, whatever it is.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I have some patience that actually do boxing. I think
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: that's the coolest thing. I have absolutely no desire to
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: do boxing, but it sure looks fun. I'm just afraid
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna hurt myself, you know, or somebody's gonna hurt me.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: So either way, you got to make a list of
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the good stuff. Make a list of the foods that
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: you would like or that you think you might like
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: to eat or to try to eat that are healthier
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and be open because there may be things you've never tried,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: and if you try, then you may like them. But
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: you've got to lead with protein. And then after you
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: make those lists, when are you ready to start? You know,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: maybe you can put in a book, you know, on
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: you know, on audible or just to listen to and
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: go take a walk. Maybe you need to find a gym,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need to dust some things off, but you
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: do need to find ways to be physically active. And
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: our friends at YouTube, I have to say, there's millions
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: of videos. You don't have to go anywhere. So there's
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: really not any one reason or an excuse in the
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: book why you can't do something. And I've told several
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: people before you guys have probably heard it. I had
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: a patient who I just can't do anything physical. I've
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: hurt my achilles and I just can't. YouTube has chair aerobics.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: So I'm here to tell you folks, if you want
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: to change, you can, and if you want to change,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: you will. But if you don't, that's okay too. You know,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I fired a patient yesterday. That was that was That
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: wasn't fun, but it was fun to see the response
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: because patients sometimes want to let us know they're not
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: ready to do something, and that's really okay. It's okay
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: if you're not ready, But if you're not happy where
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: you are, then why aren't you taking steps to do
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: something different Because not doing something different and doing the
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: same thing is not going to change and you're not
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: going to get different results. So thank you, Ralph. You
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: guys love the dogies, trust me, I love them too.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: But not during not during our show, and they're usually
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: very good. It's just the distractions. It's just fun. So
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have any other thoughts
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: or questions, but the whole concept is what's what's on
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: your mind? What's in your head? That's the essence of
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: kind of what we're leading up to today. What is
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: it that you spend time thinking about? Are you have
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: full do you worry? Worry? Worry worry? Are you doubtful?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Is everything kind of like an e or moment? I
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: have lots of people like that, and getting somebody to
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: go from e or to Piglet, it can happen, It
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: can happen. Piglet always thinks about the positive. Did you
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: ever watch Winnie to Pooh? Maybe some of you aren't
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: old enough to know Winnie to Pooh, but it is
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: a classic. But Pooh is always in wonder and he
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: always gets good guidance, and he's always open minded, but
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: he usually takes the direction of Piglet. Er is just
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: gray cloud over his head and just doesn't have the
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: confidence or feel like he can do anything. A Piglet
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: always has the best things to say and the most
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: optimistic things to say, and he's always very encouraging. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: like in that story because think about where you are
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: in life, and maybe it's a different character, maybe it's
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: a different story for you. But find your story and
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: find what it is you remember that was something motivat
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: in childhood. You know, I joke about this, I probably shouldn't,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: but you have three boys and I often, I often
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: used to read them the story of the Three Little
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Pigs over and over and over again, and literally I
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: have one in every house. And it's okay because the
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: one who has the house of straw is eventually going
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: to turn into sticks. And I'm very optimistic. As motivated
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: as he is, he probably has more motivation than the
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: one with the bricks and the one with the sticks.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: But everybody has to find their own way. That word
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: quiet works wonders. So find your house, and maybe you're
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: in a straw house. Maybe you're in a stick house.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: You can get to the brick house, but you've got
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: to want to change because your sticks and your straws
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: are not going to give you a solid foundation. You
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: need a solid foundation. And if you're in a brick house,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: here's the best part. How many of you know people
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: or let's just go to the characters you've got. You've
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: got someone who's doing really well. They're in a beautiful
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: brick house, their life appears great. You may be that person,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: but inside, what is it that you feel you need
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: to change? Where are you in life? What is it
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: that is really causing you that inner turmoil? And you
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: too can take your brain from sticks to bricks, but
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: you have to be willing to make the changes, and
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: it has to start soon. If not now, then the
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: question becomes when. And so like my patient yesterday, we've
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: kind of been at it for about six months and
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: very successful, extremely successful in every aspect of life. But
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I will tell you this person is young, maybe forty
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: six forty seven, has been on benzodiazepines, as I've been
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: told by him, for twenty five years. He was on
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: four miligrams. That is a very very very strong dose.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: And those of you that are familiar, I mean, god
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: one milligram and keep me out of commission for at
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: least twenty four to forty eight hours. But again it
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: was something that can into his life. But imagine being
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: so successful and being on such a heavy medication. We're
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: down to two milligrams, so we're halfway there, but he's
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: just not ready for any further change. So it's okay
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: if you're only getting halfway there. We want to get
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: you the whole way, but it has to start with you.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: And if it doesn't start with you, I can get
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: you there. Believe me, you know, if you were side
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: by side with me every day when I'm on that
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: treadmill of orange theory, let me tell you, I've yet
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to have somebody beat me. I'm open for competition, but
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I run like there's no tomorrow. And that has come
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: over time for lots of reasons. Because I wanted the change.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I wanted to feel good. I wanted to feel better,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: and for me, physical movement, good nutrition, and usually generally
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: good sleep really works well for me. You know, But
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: life happens right, just like I had a stay away
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: for a second, being is worse than having to step
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: away come into our lives. You know. Another patient I
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: just talked to today just became a nurse practitioner. Had
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: to make some choices her son. She had to move
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: him out of the house. He was twenty two. She
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: did it in January, and since January he's fallen into
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: all kinds of trouble, not paid his bills, lost his apartment,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: out on the streets, got picked up by the police,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: now has a record, tried to hurt himself, and was
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: baker acted. So maybe that's a heavy plate for some
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: of you. Right where is she? She's holding on, She's
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: going through all the steps we talked about, and side
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: by side we work together every week to keep her resilient.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: We cannot change another person. Maybe you struggle with someone
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: who has behaviors or habits or the unwillingness to take
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: good care of themselves. You cannot go underwater with them,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: and you need support. So that's where where Wellness and
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Censored wants to try to give you ideas, opportunities, things
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: that you can do. But it's up to you to decide.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe you need to talk to somebody and do some
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: talk therapy. Maybe you're really at a crossroads and you're
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: struggling with alcohol or drugs or creatom is an addictive substance.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I've had to have people go and do sort of
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: an intense outpatient. One guy ended up going three weeks
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: in patient because creatim is such an addictive over the
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: counter substance it nearly destroyed his life and his marriage.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: So those are way heavier things. And I certainly don't
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: want to drag down any any part of where people
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: are feeling. But we want you to feel good, and
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: we want to give you the tips and the tools
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: how to get there. And so while a knock at
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: the door certainly is an earth shattering, a knock by
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: a police officer for having a child arrested, that's a
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: bigger deal living with a loved one who has an
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: addiction and isn't willing to be honest with themselves. You
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: can only go so far before it affects you. And
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: if you feel that it's starting to affect you, then
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: you have to take care of things and get your
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: own support, your own help. And that's the stuff we
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: talk about here. So maybe it's not so big, Maybe
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: it's not so bad, whether it's anxiety, whether it's sad
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: low mood. The simple things to get started, and the
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: simple things to start today are ways to feel better
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: in your own home, with the food, the fuel, with movement,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: and with good sleep. And you know, there's a really
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: good book out. I've mentioned it a couple of times before,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: but it's called Say Goodnight to Insomnia by Mark Jacobs
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: and in Say good Night to Insomnia, he really looks
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: at a full fledged approach between just sleep activity relack
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: thereof how to get off some of these heavy sleep medications.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Because a lot of these sleep medications they are not
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: going to tell you they cause almost like a daytime
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: solemn and solemn nance can't say it where it's almost
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: like a daytime insomnia. And so when you try to
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: go to sleep at night, you can't sleep unless you
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: have that medication. And that takes me down a little
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: bit of a path with these prescriptions. If I've said
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: it once, I've said it a thousand times. Do not
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: be duked. The pharmaceutical companies drive your business. They drive
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: your needs. By advertising on TV. They make them, make
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: them look picture perfect. The pharmacies they hold you to
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: a level that I call it's like holding your hostage.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Oh well, you need a higher dose, and it's cheaper.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I've had patients come to me and tell me that
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: we'll get twenty milligrams alexipro. It's cheaper than ten. Well,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: look tens enough, but now I want somebody who wants
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: to save some money. So how harmful my pharmacist told me,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I could take twenty you can, but do you need it?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Do you need more wake gain? Do you need more
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: less desire in you know, in intimacy because the higher
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the dose, the bigger the side effects. I've had pharmacists
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: try to tell patients, Oh, it's the insurance company that
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: demands you get a ninety day refill. It's not the
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: insurance company. And let me tell you. If it's the
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: insurance company, then I'll have a call with the insurance company.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: The pharmacies get bonused by the drug companies for converting
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: you from thirty day prescription to ninety day okay, And
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I challenge them all. And what happens is if you
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: come back and you ask for a ninety day prescription,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: that makes it a whole lot easier for you just
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: to kind of marinate in the medication, not follow up
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: with good ongoing treatment, because our treatment's dynamic, right. I
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: don't want you to just live on a medication. I
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: want you to improve your behavioral skills. Psychiatry is behavior changed.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: We didn't have psychiatry with pass to a pill, had
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: psychiatry with the study and the repair of the human psyche,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: which today is what is going on in your head.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: So we flip that because there's more money to be
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: made in medicine, and so we'll often find prescribers that
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: shouldn't necessarily be prescribing because it's not their wheelhouse. Or
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: they'll just try a new drug, try a new drug,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: try a combination of drugs, and just try, try, try,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Before you know it. I have patients that don't even
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: know how they feel because they're on so many different medications, right,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: and we've talked about that. One of the solutions is
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: TMS trans cranial magnetic therapy. If you're struggling, you want
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: something higher and higher level, look it up. We will
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: be talking about it on other shows. You can google
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: some of our past shows as well to learn more
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: about it. But it's a great way to hit off
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: the medications. Most of these medications have some type of
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: an effect. It's negative and whether you want to call
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: it a side effect, it's still an effect. And if
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I put you on lexipro and you gain ten pounds, okay,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: you can handle it. That's fine. But it also changes
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: different things in your body and you may not be
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: as mood oriented. Intimately, you may feel a little bit.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I won't say lethargic, but numb and numb and blunting
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: are not bad symptoms. If you really want to take
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: away some of the pain of the emotion of what's
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: going on, that's kind of what the med does. But
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: not everybody wants to feel that, right, so keep those
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: things in mind. So that's just a little info commercial
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: on what your pharmacies and the drug companies are doing,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: because they really have us in the palm of our hands.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: So if we're healthy and we add vitamin D and
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Omega three and some NEC and some an D and
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: all the other great little supplements I talk about, if
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: we're feeling our best self, we're not going to need
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: to get a pill. And sometimes when we don't need
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: a pill, guess what, we can actually feel a whole
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: lot better. So those are some of the things to
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: talk about and to think about, you know, to figure
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: out what is going on inside your head. And there's
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: also things that go on inside people's heads when stress
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: reaches its breaking point. If you are feeling like you
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: can't think, or you're feeling like, you know, I'm not
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: really sure what's real anymore, or you think you're hearing things.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I've had people in such a traumatic state that they're
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: seeing things, they're hearing things, and they look at me
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: and they're like, am I crazy? By and large, Okay,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: if you've gone through some significant challenges in life events,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: it's not because there's anything specifically diagnosable like schizophrenia or
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: bipolar or nnia. Possibly. Okay, I say that possibly because
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I'm just giving you examples, but it is quite possible.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of the people that you know,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: somebody just disappears and they find them in an undertown
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: or state and they don't know how they got there.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: That's called a fugue state. But if you go back
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: behind them disappearing, there was probably a life event or
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: something that just fractured their psyche to such a point
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: that it's a trauma. And those are the kind of
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: things that if you're not feeling okay, it's so important
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: to reach out to find ways to get support. A
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: couple folks last week when we were doing our show
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: had asked about how to get in touch. We can
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: help refer you pretty much anywhere across the nation and
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: on our website. Just for clarity sake, when you do
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: go on to Magnolia, the letter B wellness magnoiab Wellness
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: is kind of the umbrella for me for all the
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: work that I do. If you're looking to get into
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: anything like some great not just energy drinks, but energy
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: drinks that are good, but they're also some of them
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: are relaxing if you're stressed intense. We have some that
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: have Ashbragonda lions. Main the energy one has more of
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: a natural caffeine with green tea. But you go into
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: magnoliabewellness dot com and under the dropdown and I don't know,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Rebel if you can show the home page of Magnolia
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: b Wellness, but where it says shop links, there's three spots.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: You can either go under to the drink moments, which
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: is the drinks, the energy drinks. Below that is stem
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: cell patches because it's another natural way to help heal
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: and fuel your body, and I'll tell you about that
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: real quick. And then at the bottom is full scripts.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: When you click on full scripts, the reason and the
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: why behind the full scripts is it allows me to
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: be able to help guide you with your nutritional supplement journey.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: So if you go in and you pick some things out,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: it will give a link from you to me so
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: that if you have questions, I'll be able to respond
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: to you, and it'll also allow you to get your
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: order at a discount. Yeah, if you're able to look
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: on the screen this page where it says magnoia. When
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: you go under shop links, can you put the cursor
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: under shop links? Okay? Perfect? See there's three spots at
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: the bottom when it's full scripts, and when you pop
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: that open, it's going to ask for your email and
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: a password. What that allows is for you to create
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: your own private account and you will always be able
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: to order for a lifetime at a twenty percent discount.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: They don't spam you, they don't do commercials, they don't
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: sell your email because it's linked through a provider, so
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: you can only get into full scripts if you're a provider.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: But what that allows us, all of us to do
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: functional psychiatry and functional medicine. We do those things and
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: that's what the screen looks like. Thanks for showing that.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: When you log in through there, it will let me
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: know if you've ordered something, but it'll also give me
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: a link if you have questions, and so indirectly across
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the world, I can help guide you if you have
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: specific questions from any one of our shows to vitamin D,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: vitamin B, n ec nad omega three branch chain amino acids,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: because I've found that it's much better to help people
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: one on one as opposed to just kind of guessing.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: And some folks do ask good questions on different shows.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: We've got really good questions, but it still may not
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: be your question. But the best part about it is
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: that link it's tied to about I couldn't even tell
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: you maybe close to seventy five good manufacturers that are
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: all third party tested, which means you're not going to
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: get the Walmart brand of the cheapest vitamin, which means
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: you're getting probably ten percent vitamin and ninety percent filler.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: And then when you do the breakdown, when you take
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: supplements by mouth and it goes through your digestion, it's
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: really hard to get more than maybe fifty to sixty
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: percent of it because your body breaks it down all
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the way. So when it breaks it down, you're getting
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: good quality. But it's why they're not as potent as
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: like an IV or an im injection. And if you
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: want other supplements or other things that we do, some
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: things we do we can do through like im injections
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: or little not even I am, but there's some key injections.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: A weekly boost of NAD is phenomenal. And why I
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: tell you about the whole vitamin the supplement thing, because
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I've had greater success, not just with myself and family
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: and friends, but if I got you into American and
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: sing Rodiola, some n E D and some nec cognition
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: improves energy, improves you feel really good. We get you
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: into some zen sleep that's really wonderful for sleepiness. And
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: none of these are medicinal, Okay, it's one of those things.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: It's it's just super important. So it's a way for
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: us to link. You don't need to have an appointment,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: and I can help guide you with your you know,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: with your supplement journey. So that's the homepage Magnolia B
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Wellness and if you're driving, it's the word Magnolia, the
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: letter B Wellness all one thing dot com. And when
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: you go over there, you look under shop links and
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: go down to the drop down and it's the last
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: one there under full scripts. Just put your email and
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: pick a password and that'll be your own personal private link.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: That's got a question, how dangerous is what I mentioned?
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: About waking up someplace. Oh you don't know. Yeah, it's
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: called a fugue stage. It's f is in frank Ugue.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: That's the psychiatric term for someone who basically has an
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: amnesia moment. It's it's not common, it's definitely not common,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: and there's not a one description of why it happens.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: But generally it happens because there's some trigger traumatic event
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: to the body. Now it's possible, you know, people that
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: have the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's. We see this
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: with people with a code silver. They wander off. It's
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: more of a dementia type related thing. But that's the
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: best example I could give you that it mimics. But
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of times, if someone was raped, if someone
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: was in a breakup, if someone you know, you name
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: the trauma, it is quite possible that it just really
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: fractures the psyche and they walk aimlessly. I don't know,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: if you've ever been in a situation suation, and perhaps
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: maybe you've had too much to drink, it's possible that
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: that could happen too. We don't really call it a
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: fugue state. It's black help, but it's that idea, right
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: and what happens to that gap, the gap between when
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: you were thinking clearly to where you are. So when
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: it's a phenomenon and it's not alcohol related, where it's
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: not a stroke related or a dementia related, they call
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: it a fugue state, and it is. It's extremely rare,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: but there's cases and if you google it, you know,
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: I hate to say chat GPT, but there's a lot
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: of things you can find out about it. So it's
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: just it's super important just to know that if you
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: are stressed, if you are anxious, if you're in a
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: tough spot in your life. Number one, you don't have
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: to go it alone. But number two, let's get you
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: feeling better. You have to be willing to do the work.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: And pretty much everything I talked about today. You know,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: do you have enough of the ability to not put
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: something in your mouth? You know, I choose to have
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: that piece of red bellot cake or not? Do I
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: have willpower or do I have weakness? We can't give
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: in to weakness. Now, if you do, you do, it's
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: not the end of the world. But do you really
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: want to change? Are you ready to feel better? And
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of times the answer is yes, right, it's
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: the answer is yes, so, yeah, so, And I don't
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: know Beth will try to get into that war next time,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: but I don't know. Generally, they don't seem to last
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: very long. They could last for a few hours to
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: a few days. Again, it's it's a little bit more
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: down in the weeds, but if you google it, you
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: can learn a lot about it. And there's an unpredictable
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: moment in time, and you know it's it's a real thing.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: But generally speaking, if you are that stressed and you're
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: starting to have moments where you can't remember things, I
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: wouldn't say that you're having this complete blank of a
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: fugue state. But I would say when people are stressed,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: we tend to forget things. We forget where we put
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: the keys, we forget that we were supposed to pick
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: up the dog at the groom, or we forget things.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: That's not a fugue state. So just remember, if you're
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: that stressed and you're starting to forget things, it's probably
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: a good time to want to get some support, some guidance,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: some counseling, you know. And Lance again, probably for this show,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: since Rama's out of time, the missing time, we really
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: don't know, and we don't know what the mind really records.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I guess for a later topic, you know,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: And I have a friend coming on in July, doctor Larry.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll ask him about that. Because the mind is fascinating.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely fascinating. And the more and the more that
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I learn about the mind, it is such a beautiful
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: tool and the most amazing organ wouldn't you want to
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: really fuel it, nurture it, take care of it. We
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: abuse our body so often indirectly by the crap we
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: put in it. Imagine if you fueled your body like
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: you fuel your car. Do you all love your cars?
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: I mean you got to get them from A to B, right,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: so you're going to take as good a care of
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: them as you can afford to. So at the end
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: of the day, folks, let's kind of go with this.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: If you need any help or support, you can reach

• 46:46
  Speaker 2: really enjoy, make you feel good, that you're happy with
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: and in doing that, then make the next list. What

• 47:12
  Speaker 2: And like gosh, just flew right out of my head.

  Speaker 2: The book fail Forward, John Maxwell, you quoted it beautifully.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: John Maxwell wrote, fail Forward. I want you to fail forward.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: You got to keep going until you can't go anymore.
• 47:27
