  Welcome to the Uto.

  Take a deep breath.
• 0:11
  Take the higher roles.
• 0:13
  What they always say.
• 0:14
  Let's say they know the way.
• 0:16
  They won't take it from me.
• 0:20
  Don't ever die yourself.
• 0:22
  It's lapping just a dream.
• 0:24
  You made your own so kick and scream.
• 0:27
  The people who laugh with a never-ending force.
• 0:31
  You never have the chance.
• 0:33
  So watch with calm my friend Goose.
• 0:44
  It's time to welcome back to Nurses Out Loud.
• 0:55
  I'm Nurse Tori, and you are listening to us on America Outloud.news.
• 0:59
  Today we have an exciting show.
• 1:01
  It's that time of year again.
• 1:03
  It's Black Friday.
• 1:04
  And the internet is screaming deals on every gadget that promises better sleep, tighter skin, faster recovery, and you know, eternal youth.
• 1:13
  You're gonna just, it's gonna turn the clock back for you.
• 1:16
  This is gonna be the thing that changes it all for you.
• 1:19
  And I get asked all the time, hey, are these things worth it?
• 1:22
  So we're gonna talk about that today.
• 1:24
  And I'm gonna give you options and how to include them in your routine and how I've used them personally and how I have also seen that these work really well for my clients.
• 1:34
  So let's get to it.
• 1:35
  I just want to let you guys know how much I love being here.
• 1:39
  I do one show a month for Nurses Out Loud.
• 1:42
  The rest of the time, you can follow me on social media at the Tori Jensen, but I love being a part of Nurses Out Loud, which is you can also find all the shows on America Out Loud.news uh because I just love being a part of all these nurses.
• 1:56
  And I know a lot of you listening are nurses.
• 2:00
  And a lot of you who aren't are listening because you trust nurses and you trust that you are going to get solid information from a trusted source that we have done our due diligence and we are not bought and paid for by anyone because of your viewership and because the way you support us, uh, we are able to keep nurses out loud uncensored, and it's fantastic.
• 2:26
  I don't want to be a part of anything that is censored.
• 2:30
  I stopped censoring myself officially the day that I was escorted out of the hospital during COVID for not getting vaccinated.
• 2:38
  Some of you who know me and been following me have seen my journey since then.
• 2:43
  Um, my background is I'm a registered dietitian, turned registered nurse, worked in the hospital setting for 10 years, and then refused to get the COVID vaccine.
• 2:52
  My exemption, my religious exemption was denied.
• 2:55
  And while I was on shift working as a nurse in a COVID unit, uh, I was escorted out of the hospital by security after 10 hours of asking to speak with the person who made the judgment about my religious beliefs.
• 3:10
  So that's who I am.
• 3:12
  The people who want us to be censored are the ones who fear the truth, right?
• 3:19
  Fear what fear what the truth brings.
• 3:22
  Um, in communist countries or tyrannical regimes, the first people who they go after are the Christians because we are willing to answer to someone bigger than ourselves and a bigger purpose, knowing that this life here on earth is temporal.
• 3:40
  And so we can do the right thing every time because we know we know that doesn't matter.
• 3:46
  We know God's gonna provide, he's gonna take care of us, and he's a plan for us.
• 3:48
  And so if you're listening today, I just wanted to give you a little bit of that encouragement, kind of my background.
• 3:54
  Um, and after I left the hospital, I started a business because I went to work for uh a clinic, and I thought I I have more I want to say.
• 4:04
  I have more I want to do.
• 4:05
  I want to impact people, specifically women and give them the encouragement to go out and take care of their bodies the way God intended us to.
• 4:14
  So since it's Black Friday, I know that your inbox has been inundated with things like mine has.
• 4:22
  My inbox has been inundated probably since Halloween.
• 4:25
  I think my first Black Friday email popped up sometime around October, and I thought, well, this is early.
• 4:34
  I do appreciate the spoon feeding that they give me though in my text messages when I say they say, Oh, here you go.
• 4:41
  It's 30% off.
• 4:42
  I'm like, that's effective marketing.
• 4:44
  If if you text me, I will click on it.
• 4:46
  If you email me, probably not.
• 4:48
  Um, but I have been getting all these emails.
• 4:51
  And the one thing that I love sharing with you guys on social media is it I love answering all of your questions.
• 4:57
  And at Black Friday, you're being inundated with tons of questions about the next health and wellness device or shortcut or shiny object that we need to get for this Black Friday.
• 5:11
  And guess what?
• 5:12
  For a limited time only through this Friday, through Cyber Monday, it's this, it's 30% off.
• 5:18
  Get it now, right?
• 5:19
  I think they make, I think they said they make so many sales.
• 5:22
  Businesses make the majority of their sales over Black Friday and through the holiday time, like to make up for a lot of the year.
• 5:30
  So it's pretty pretty effective marketing, but some of the, I know that you're looking at some of these gadgets and thinking, do these things actually work?
• 5:38
  And so, as a registered dietitian, registered nurse, someone who's coached woman in weight loss and hormone balance for years, and just generally health and wellness.
• 5:48
  I'm gonna talk to you about the answer your questions and talk to you about the the actual things I think you should invest in, the things that are worth your time.
• 5:58
  Okay, what are those things?
• 6:00
  Um, and I don't know if you can relate to this, but I talk to friends frequently and they say, Oh, yeah, I have a dry brush.
• 6:09
  I I just never use it.
• 6:11
  Or I have a red light.
• 6:13
  I just I don't, I don't know how to use it.
• 6:15
  I can't find time for it.
• 6:17
  Or I have a sauna.
• 6:19
  I just really don't get in there.
• 6:21
  I have a home gym.
• 6:22
  I just don't, you know, you feel you get the point.
• 6:25
  And I think a lot of us have these things as expensive, amazing health and wellness tools sitting in our house, and we're just not using them.
• 6:34
  So I'm gonna talk to you too about how to incorporate these little things into your day.
• 6:40
  So you actually have the benefit of them.
• 6:42
  I mean, I can't stand walking by some super expensive thing that I bought.
• 6:49
  For example, the red light that is that I have on currently as my background.
• 6:54
  Uh I can't stand walking by that stuff and going, oh, it's just mocking me.
• 6:58
  I'm not using it, makes me feel guilty, makes me feel lazy, unorganized, and we don't want to feel like that.
• 7:05
  We have enough things in our life that are telling us we're not good enough.
• 7:10
  We have enough things that are telling us that we aren't doing what we're supposed to be doing, that we should be doing more.
• 7:16
  So we don't want these shiny objects to have that impact on us when we walk by them.
• 7:21
  Uh, I had a client one time who had her treadmill in her living room, and we were talking.
• 7:27
  I said, Well, do you use your treadmill?
• 7:29
  And she said, no.
• 7:30
  And I get so, I have so much anxiety and guilt every time I walk by it.
• 7:34
  I was like, get that thing out of there tonight.
• 7:37
  Get your husband, get him over here.
• 7:39
  We are moving that treadmill into the basement.
• 7:41
  She said, Yeah, but then, but then, you know, I won't ever use it.
• 7:45
  And I said, okay, are you using it now?
• 7:48
  She said, no.
• 7:51
  Okay.
• 7:52
  So you're not using it, and it's mocking you.
• 7:55
  Get that thing out of here, right?
• 7:56
  I mean, we are so over things like that.
• 7:59
  And uh, so she actually said that her anxiety level was dramatically reduced just by moving the treadmill into the basement, and she used it.
• 8:09
  She used it.
• 8:10
  Why?
• 8:10
  Not because it was top of mind because she wasn't walking by it every day.
• 8:14
  She used it because we figured out how to make that fit into her day.
• 8:20
  We have we found a place for her to use her treadmill that made sense to her and something that she enjoyed.
• 8:28
  And it actually, then she started using her treadmill.
• 8:30
  Like amazing, right?
• 8:32
  And this is so good.
• 8:33
  This is good news for all of you who are thinking, there's no way.
• 8:36
  I've had that walking vest in my garage.
• 8:39
  And every time I go walk my dog, I look at it and it looks back at me.
• 8:44
  And then I don't use it.
• 8:46
  And uh, so we're gonna talk about that.
• 8:48
  Why don't why don't you use these things?
• 8:50
  What's going on?
• 8:51
  Well, I might I'm very confident that the reason that the majority of you aren't using these fancy things you have is you haven't figured out how it works, how it fits in your day, and you actually don't know the benefits of it.
• 9:05
  So we're gonna talk about the benefits of some of my favorite things.
• 9:08
  And these things, I will just straight up tell you.
• 9:10
  If I don't, if these are things that I don't use or I can't speak to, I'll just straight up tell you.
• 9:15
  The ones that I know and love.
• 9:17
  Oh, I'm you're gonna want to buy them after this.
• 9:20
  I do have affiliate links for them, and it'll be in the show notes.
• 9:23
  Feel free to shop around.
• 9:24
  These are just ones that I love.
• 9:26
  If I'm gonna be talking about a product, I always use it first.
• 9:30
  And then I want to share it with you guys.
• 9:32
  And when you do purchase through affiliate links, or if you go to Nurses Out Loud and you go to uh nurses out loud.com.
• 9:40
  We have uh a link there for all of our favorite things.
• 9:44
  We also have that in our sub stack.
• 9:46
  It just helps us give you more uncensored content.
• 9:49
  You know, it's it's allows us to be out here creating content that you guys can trust without knowing that we aren't being bought and paid for by these big sponsors who are just telling you to.
• 10:00
  Buy all their stuff, right?
• 10:01
  We don't want to do that.
• 10:01
  We want to be different.
• 10:02
  We want to be somebody that you guys can trust.
• 10:05
  The nursing profession is the most trusted profession.
• 10:09
  We want to continue that in that spirit.
• 10:12
  And it's just like being with you here is literally the joy of my month to be able to share and to encourage you guys to do the small things that are actually going to make a difference.
• 10:24
  Health and wellness is my favorite thing ever.
• 10:27
  My background, actually, before I became a nurse, you'll see uh you might see the little the little letters after my name, BSN, RN, R D.
• 10:36
  So I'm a registered dietitian.
• 10:37
  And that's where I learned the majority of my health and wellness where I became, I love my love for health and wellness.
• 10:43
  Actually, where I really learned my my love for health and wellness was as an athlete, just realizing if I do the small things consistently and I do the small things well, like nutrition, fuel my body appropriately, uh stretching, which oh, I still can't stand stretching or flossing.
• 11:00
  I do them because I know I'm supposed to, but I don't enjoy it.
• 11:03
  That's okay.
• 11:04
  And we're gonna talk about that too.
• 11:06
  Um, I I just as an athlete, I realized, whoa, certain things really make a difference when I drink enough water.
• 11:12
  Gosh, I perform better when I feel appropriately, I perform better, I recover faster.
• 11:18
  And I didn't have any of these gadgets when I was a young athlete.
• 11:23
  And now that I'm an old athlete, I actually think I feel better than I did when I was in my 20s.
• 11:28
  Well, it also helps that I'm not drinking or staying out late or eating an entire pizza to myself like after midnight.
• 11:33
  That those things are also beneficial.
• 11:35
  But the the technology that we have right now to help ourselves is fantastic.
• 11:42
  Okay, I also want to say something else.
• 11:44
  All right.
• 11:46
  Did your ancestors have any of these gadgets?
• 11:50
  No.
• 11:51
  Not even ancestors.
• 11:52
  I mean, I'm just talking about myself 20 years ago.
• 11:55
  I didn't have any of these gadgets.
• 11:58
  And we were doing okay, right?
• 12:00
  I think we were healthier 20 years ago, 50 years ago than we are now, meaning that we didn't have so much chronic disease.
• 12:07
  Uh, we didn't have uh, we weren't on so many medications, the cancer rates were down, uh, obesity was down, uh, cardiac risk, all those things were it was all lower.
• 12:18
  And we didn't have any of these gadgets.
• 12:20
  So, what gives?
• 12:21
  What gives?
• 12:22
  I want you to kind of flip your mindset on this too to think about we don't have to have these gadgets.
• 12:29
  What we're these gadgets are helping us to live in a modern toxic world, essentially.
• 12:34
  They're helping us mitigate the problems from our modern toxic world.
• 12:38
  And I'm talking about like uh the fluorescent lights we have in our houses, the Wi-Fi, the constant 5G, our phones that are connected to us, like little magnets, um, our nutrition and the processed food that we're consuming.
• 12:55
  So it's not like we need our ancestors, didn't need all these things because they were living a much different life than we live.
• 13:02
  They were not living disconnected from the earth like we are.
• 13:05
  Um, so unfortunately, we have to go take extreme measures, I would say, to make to falsify or to create this natural environment that we just don't live in anymore.
• 13:22
  We live inside, and we really should be living outside, living in community, eating more real food, less processed food.
• 13:28
  And so I want you to think about that as you go through this because I'm gonna make a case for these gadgets for you to try them, but I also want you to think I'm also going to explain to you how you can get benefits, similar benefits without having all these gadgets.
• 13:45
  But it takes more intention.
• 13:46
  It's actually harder because you have to change your what you're doing.
• 13:50
  You can't continue to live this modern toxic lifestyle and expect to get different results.
• 13:55
  You have to actually make some changes.
• 13:58
  So it can be easier than you think.
• 14:00
  It really can be easier than you think.
• 14:02
  A lot of you are not using the gadgets that you have, or you're not consistent with your routines because I would say the majority of you don't know what's gonna move the needle for you.
• 14:15
  When I talk to clients and I hear from you on social media, you're confused.
• 14:20
  You have too much information coming at you, and you don't even know where to start.
• 14:25
  You're like, I don't even know.
• 14:26
  This person tells me I should eat only meat.
• 14:29
  This person tells me I should only eat vegetables.
• 14:31
  What do I do?
• 14:33
  You have to, I what my client Reese most recently said, I feel like I have to have a nutrition PhD in order to eat these days.
• 14:42
  And it kind of feels like that.
• 14:44
  And what I help people do is to get through all that noise and to simplify it.
• 14:49
  And I'm just gonna tell you, you guys, if the more you get back to doing the simple things you were created for, the better your body's gonna work for you and the better you're gonna feel.
• 15:00
  Okay.
• 15:00
  So when I talk to my clients about building a foundation, I'm just gonna give you the analogy that I use.
• 15:08
  Imagine that your body is a car, okay, and you have the car has four wheels.
• 15:13
  And one of those is wheels is nutrition, one of them is movement, one of them is sleep, and the other one is stress management.
• 15:22
  But the car doesn't go anywhere, right?
• 15:25
  Without a driver.
• 15:26
  And the driver is your mindset.
• 15:28
  So the way that you approach all of these things and the way that you approach taking care of your body and incorporating uh these healthy practices into your life and the way that you talk to yourself and the music you listen to and the TV shows you watch, and mostly though, the way you talk to yourself and the lay the way you let other people talk to you.
• 15:48
  That is gonna determine where your car goes.
• 15:50
  That's gonna determine how well you're doing.
• 15:52
  If your mindset is off, you're not going anywhere.
• 15:55
  You're pulled over on the side of the road.
• 15:57
  You could have, you know, all these tires blown up.
• 16:00
  You could be crushing your stress and crust, well, usually when your mind sets off, your stress is pretty high.
• 16:05
  That those two things go together.
• 16:07
  But you could be like going to the gym and eating all the right things and sleeping at night and have all the um, and you know, be doing all of the things you're supposed to be doing, but your mindset is off.
• 16:17
  And so maybe you're not doing these consistently, or you're just letting uh the toxic negativity of whatever it is or trauma from your past or just not knowing uh how to have uh a neutral mindset when it comes to yourself so you can actually get good consistent results.
• 16:37
  You don't know how to do that.
• 16:38
  You are still relying on motivation, which wanes.
• 16:41
  So you can have like a great January, right?
• 16:43
  We're coming up on January.
• 16:45
  Everyone's got a great January.
• 16:47
  Talk to me in February when you've stopped using all the gadgets that you got for Black Friday and your uh 30-day fix thing is over, right?
• 16:56
  Talk to me then, talk to me then, and we'll talk about your mindset and mindset.
• 17:01
  That's why mindset is so powerful and so important.
• 17:03
  And you can't replace it.
• 17:05
  95% of what I do in my coaching business is mindset.
• 17:09
  And you think, wait, what?
• 17:11
  Your weight loss uh dietitian, nurse, and you're a coach, and I'm like, well, nutrition is your thing.
• 17:18
  Yes, but I can teach you nutrition in like 10 minutes, really.
• 17:22
  I can teach you nutrition in 10 minutes.
• 17:23
  You guys just got some of my nuggets here.
• 17:26
  But when it comes to applying these principles and getting rid, getting out of your own way and getting into how do I eat a piece of cake and not four pieces of cake?
• 17:40
  How do I include protein at my meals?
• 17:43
  And even when I don't feel like eating protein.
• 17:45
  How do I eat vegetables, include vegetables and fiber into my diet when I've never included, never had them because I haven't eaten them since I was a kid.
• 17:54
  Like, how do I do this, right?
• 17:55
  How do we do this repeatably?
• 17:57
  Well, we have to make it simple for you.
• 17:59
  So let's take my first gadget.
• 18:03
  I know you've been waiting for me.
• 18:05
  I'm gonna call a gadgets, like not the right word for it because they're not all gadgets, but let's take the first uh the first thing question I had.
• 18:13
  You have been seeing all these people on social media with red light blaring, you know, glowing on them.
• 18:21
  And it makes your videos really weird and your pictures really weird, by the way.
• 18:25
  Uh, I have a red light in my background right now.
• 18:27
  It looks a little like a horror movie-ish, but um, it's very on brand for what we're talking about today.
• 18:34
  So I just thought I thought this would be fun to do.
• 18:37
  Uh, but it definitely distorts your your color.
• 18:40
  But red light is something that I use daily, daily.
• 18:45
  Okay.
• 18:45
  Now, do I am I perfect at using it?
• 18:48
  No.
• 18:48
  No, no, no, I'm not perfect at using it.
• 18:50
  But here is how I decide.
• 18:52
  Here's how I figured out that I could get my red light in every day.
• 18:55
  Okay.
• 18:56
  Uh I did something called habit stacking.
• 18:59
  And you've probably read atomic habits or heard about habit stacking, but really you take something you're already doing and you attach it, you attach this little tiny habit.
• 19:09
  That's another book that I love by BJ Fogg, Tiny Habits.
• 19:11
  I actually love that one more than atomic habits.
• 19:14
  I think it's probably it's a little more process focused.
• 19:16
  Anyway, if you're looking at for a habit book, both of those are very good.
• 19:21
  But you attach it to something you already do.
• 19:25
  So I already come in my office and do Bible study in the morning.
• 19:30
  So what I did was I set up my red light to be very easy to set up on my desk.
• 19:35
  So I listen to my Bible study and I have the red light shining on me.
• 19:40
  And I do my deep breathing at the same time.
• 19:43
  And of course, I'm drinking my coffee before breakfast.
• 19:47
  Don't recommend, but I yes, I do it.
• 19:49
  Okay.
• 19:50
  Uh, and that's where, and that's where I'm habit stacking some things, like some stress management.
• 19:56
  I am getting in the word of God, which has there's no substance.
• 20:00
  For that to fix the way that your perspective is in the morning going forward.
• 20:04
  Okay.
• 20:05
  And then I have my red light.
• 20:06
  And so the red light is actually not as stimulating as blue light.
• 20:11
  We'll get more into that.
• 20:12
  But there's different spectrums of light in my particular red lights called mito red light.
• 20:18
  There's a bunch of them out there.
• 20:20
  They're all on Black Friday sale.
• 20:22
  I will have my link for this one.
• 20:24
  The clinical research on this one is really great.
• 20:26
  And they have if I was going to do this again, I would get a smaller one.
• 20:30
  I have a bigger one.
• 20:31
  They didn't have the little travel size.
• 20:33
  That's on my uh Christmas wish list to anyone who's listening who wants to buy me something.
• 20:38
  Just kidding.
• 20:40
  The smaller one, though, because when I travel, it helps to, when you travel, the red light helps to sync your circadian rhythm to the day and the nighttime.
• 20:50
  And that will help dramatically with jet lag, and it also really helps with your hormone balance.
• 20:55
  So the best type of light to get in the morning is actually not red light.
• 20:59
  It is blue light, full spectrum and helps you wake up.
• 21:02
  It's the sunlight.
• 21:03
  It's going outside, putting your feet in the grass, letting the sunrise hit your eyeballs.
• 21:09
  So, but I kind of get that done when I go take my dog for the walk for so here, or to I take my dog.
• 21:14
  So I'm giving you some insight into how that's stacking, right?
• 21:17
  So I wake up in the morning.
• 21:19
  I have these things that I want to get done.
• 21:21
  They're called my non-negotiables.
• 21:23
  And this is what I talk to my clients about.
• 21:24
  My not they're my non-negotiables.
• 21:26
  They don't always get done in the same order because I have a kid will wake up or my husband's home.
• 21:32
  He, you know, when he's at work, I have a different routine.
• 21:34
  He takes the dog.
• 21:35
  But when I'm home, I take the dog and I go without sunglasses.
• 21:39
  I go right across the street.
• 21:40
  Now in the summertime, I take my shoes off and I go barefoot and I step in the grass and I throw that ball.
• 21:47
  So I am earthing, connecting to the ground, and I'm also getting this full spectrum light in my eyes.
• 21:52
  It's fantastic.
• 21:53
  And I'm doing some deep breathing.
• 21:55
  I'm looking at the sunrise.
• 21:58
  I'm looking at the clouds.
• 21:59
  I'm looking at my happy dog.
• 22:01
  I'm praying.
• 22:02
  It's just a great way to start your day.
• 22:04
  And our ancestors started their day in a very similar way.
• 22:06
  So I come back in.
• 22:08
  I still have my cup of coffee.
• 22:10
  And I like the red light therapy because you it helps with not only my mood, big time helps with my mood.
• 22:19
  Uh, it's also penetrating deep to your mitochondria.
• 22:22
  So it helps to give you the energy.
• 22:25
  It helps your cells work younger.
• 22:27
  They help they function better.
• 22:29
  Okay.
• 22:29
  It's like an oversimplified way of saying it, but it also helps collagen production.
• 22:33
  And you need to do it on a clean face.
• 22:35
  So I'm, it's like a twofer.
• 22:37
  I'm getting this light in my eyes.
• 22:39
  It's helping me with uh my hormone balance, but I'm also uh it's also helping me to wake up and I'm also getting the beauty benefits of it directly in my face.
• 22:50
  You know, people have the masks, the red light masks.
• 22:53
  I find the red light at night as a mask too stimulating for me.
• 22:57
  Uh when I have the light, I've I don't have the mask.
• 23:00
  I but I've done the light very close to my face at nighttime because red light is really important for or very powerful anyway, for um, very powerful to uh to help you calm down.
• 23:15
  So red light therapy at night is great for you know, for that.
• 23:19
  It says that as a window, and also the the mask is good for the beauty benefits of that.
• 23:26
  Really helps with fine lines and wrinkles, collagen production.
• 23:29
  I just can't say enough about it, but I don't it I don't like it at night as much.
• 23:34
  So I'll have it on in a background room like this.
• 23:37
  Often at nighttime, I'm on my mat.
• 23:39
  I get on a prana mat.
• 23:42
  It is acupressure mat, and it's like a it's like you're laying on a thousand needles all at one time.
• 23:49
  And it sounds like a little brutal, but it's amazing to help stimulate.
• 23:54
  Um that's that, you know, that's my next thing I was talking to you guys about to help stimulate decrease stress and pain management.
• 24:00
  I have a herniated disc in my neck.
• 24:02
  Fortunately, I have very little pain from that, but I have scoliosis as well.
• 24:06
  And so after a long day being at the computer or lifting something heavy or just whatever it is, I lay on that prana mat and I have the red light going in the background, and it I tell you it put a little spa music on.
• 24:18
  Oh, oh my goodness.
• 24:20
  Put some more Bible, listen, you know, listen to my Bible again.
• 24:24
  It's fantastic.
• 24:25
  It's like the best thing ever.
• 24:26
  So I highly recommend again habit stacking, and just do it 10 minutes.
• 24:30
  You might think, oh, I don't have time for that.
• 24:31
  You do.
• 24:32
  You have to make time for these things.
• 24:34
  Um, so I come back in, I do my red light because it's a clean face.
• 24:38
  That's where you get the most benefits.
• 24:40
  Then, okay, here's my gonna tell you my other favorite thing.
• 24:44
  So I lead right into my zip halo.
• 24:48
  So this is a microcurrent device.
• 24:50
  It is an at-home microcrome device that is also has nanocurrent in it as well.
• 24:55
  These are the microcurrent, is what you will actually see move the muscles in your face, kind of like a tens unit.
• 25:01
  Uh, if you go to the physical therapist and they put some like a little electrodes on your muscles and it makes them twitch.
• 25:07
  This is what the microcurrent is doing in the zip halo.
• 25:11
  And that's gonna give you immediate results on your face because you've got like 40 muscles in your face.
• 25:17
  And as we age, what happens?
• 25:19
  These muscles tighten, they get shorter, they start to pull, right?
• 25:22
  In all the wrong directions, they start to pull away from their attachment sites.
• 25:26
  So when you use these microcurrent device, it actually strengthens these muscle attachments.
• 25:31
  And all of a sudden, I now look, you know, 10 years younger.
• 25:35
  Uh, not to mention I'm not again not drinking, drinking plenty of water, I'm not staying out late.
• 25:40
  I balance my blood sugar.
• 25:42
  Um, I am doing red light, I'm earthing, I'm managing my stress, all these things are really particularly the blue light, the the um blood blood sugar balancing set.
• 25:53
  That's really, really, really gonna help you with your skin because if you have uh unbalanced blood sugar, which majority of us do because you don't even know it, you could be a thin person and still have unbalanced blood sugar.
• 26:04
  This is we're talking like crazy cravings and um uh energy level, poor energy levels, weight gain, hormone imbalances.
• 26:15
  When you balance your blood sugar, you're you're helping support your skin because these things called um uh oh gosh, I'm now I'm blanking on it.
• 26:25
  Glycolated end products, I believe is the name.
• 26:27
  That's uh essentially the byproducts of a breakdown from your uh in your skin from having high blood blood sugar.
• 26:35
  It's not good, not good at all.
• 26:37
  So if you're not including nutrition as part of your beauty routine, you're kind of missing the whole thing.
• 26:43
  Um, but this let me go back to the zip halo really quick.
• 26:45
  So it does the microcurrent, which is immediate results, and then the nanocurrent.
• 26:50
  These are like the long-lasting results you get for uh they stimulate collagen regeneration.
• 26:56
  You guys, it is most amazing thing ever.
• 26:59
  So that's my quick little morning routine, all tied up with a bow with my red light, my deep breathing, my microcurrent device.
• 27:08
  I also sometimes lay on my prana mat in the morning if I wake up and with like a kink in my neck.
• 27:13
  I then go, I will, you know, then put my makeup on and I'm off for the day.
• 27:18
  When we come back from break, I'm gonna talk about the other things that I'm like totally sold on.
• 27:24
  There, there are things that you absolutely should include in your routine.
• 27:29

  Welcome back to the show.
• 30:01
  I'm Nurse Tori.
• 30:02
  And today we are doing the Black Friday QA where I answer all your questions about all those Black Friday gadgets.
• 30:10
  Are they actually worth your time, your money, your your effort, and your attention?
• 30:16
  Just a quick recap from previously.
• 30:19
  I talked about red light and I talked about prana mat and my zip halo.
• 30:26
  All of these things I use religiously and I believe in them so much.
• 30:31
  So if you're even thinking about them for a red light, everyone needs one.
• 30:35
  Every household needs one for inflammation, for mood, for when you have those injuries.
• 30:40
  I busted my ankle last year and put that on there a couple times a day.
• 30:45
  Um helps with sleep.
• 30:48
  And also my favorite, it helps with collagen production.
• 30:51
  So I use it on my face every morning.
• 30:54
  It's without me makeup and it's probably the most invaluable tool that I have for health and wellness.
• 31:01
  So definitely pick one up.
• 31:02
  I have a discount code if you're interested.
• 31:04
  There's a ton of Black Friday sales going on.
• 31:07
  So check those out.
• 31:08
  Um if you don't have one, they are worth it.
• 31:10
  They are worth it, but make sure you get a reputable brand.
• 31:13
  The Prana Mat, just a quick recap on that.
• 31:16
  Oh, I also wanted to say, because I haven't, I I intended to, but of course I go squirrel and I like talk about a million things.
• 31:24
  I want to, I want to talk to you guys about what are your options if you don't want to, if you don't want to purchase these things, how can you simulate the benefits of that in other ways?
• 31:34
  With the red light, I don't really know.
• 31:37
  I I really don't know.
• 31:38
  I mean, I would say in terms of getting outside, that's the most powerful thing you can do because more sunlight is not actually gonna sound bad for you.
• 31:46
  It's actually meant to power, supercharge your your cells.
• 31:51
  So get out there without sunglasses on.
• 31:53
  Okay.
• 31:53
  Now the prana mat, again, the prana mat is this acupressure.
• 31:58
  If you've you've probably seen them, they're always like really trendy looking girls in yoga clothes.
• 32:03
  And they're laying on this little mat that looks like it has these little beautiful lotus flowers on it.
• 32:12
  These lotus flowers are sharp as needles.
• 32:16
  They don't actually puncture the skin unless you are standing on them with one toe.
• 32:21
  I think if you're standing on it full body weight, one toe, you probably could puncture your skin.
• 32:25
  Um, but when your body is laid out over that surface, evenly uh laid out, you it displaces the surface area and you get a nice deep acupressure.
• 32:35
  If you have pain, you do not want to skip this.
• 32:38
  I have crushing pain back pain and neck pain since I was in high school uh when my scoliosis got worse and my activity, and then I lifted a heavy box the wrong way a couple of years back and I uh have a her needed disc in my neck.
• 32:53
  I have zero pain most of the time.
• 32:55
  But if I do the wrong kind of movement, you know, I'm getting to the age where if I look over my shoulder wrong in the car, there goes my neck.
• 33:04
  And I have processes in place where I really mitigate this.
• 33:07
  I weight lift and I walk and I uh manage my blood sugar to keep my inflammation down.
• 33:14
  But the end of the day, sometimes just the way that my I'm built, uh, things are just not quite in the right place.
• 33:21
  And prana mat gets me out of that pain zone.
• 33:23
  My husband will look at me sometimes at the end of the day, and I don't even recognize it all the time because I lived so many years with just kind of a chronic like nagging pain level, like a low level pain level.
• 33:35
  I don't didn't realize how tired that made me all the time, how grumpy I felt, how short tempered I felt sometimes just from that low level ache.
• 33:44
  When I lay on the prana mat, it goes away.
• 33:47
  I wake up, the endorphins are flowing.
• 33:50
  I have release from that pressure in my neck in my back.
• 33:53
  I cannot say enough things.
• 33:55
  My sister-in-law uses it daily.
• 33:57
  She puts it on her hip.
• 34:00
  She lays on it on her side.
• 34:02
  I haven't quite gotten to that level.
• 34:03
  I think she's advanced because I can't stand it.
• 34:06
  That it just tickles too much.
• 34:08
  It like tickles and hurts all at the same time.
• 34:10
  Um, I will put my feet on it when I'm watching TV, and that just gives a light acupressure.
• 34:15
  I do stand on it sometimes full weight.
• 34:18
  It's a just another thing.
• 34:19
  You have to like be ready for that.
• 34:21
  Um, but again, worth every penny, especially if you have pain.
• 34:25
  Okay, zip halo.
• 34:27
  It is the, it is not cheap, but I have a discount code for you.
• 34:30
  And for Black Friday, it is I think I think it's like $80 off, maybe.
• 34:36
  I mean, it's it's it's a significant discount.
• 34:39
  And this is the number one thing I use on my face religiously so that I can work out the muscles in my face just as I work out the muscles in my body.
• 34:49
  So when you take, you know, Botox, if you uh, if you use Botox, the way that that works is it relaxes the muscle because it's a paralytic, it paralyzes the muscle.
• 34:59
  So you when you work out your muscle and you start, you know, exercising them, they can actually relax.
• 35:07
  And so that's what this does as well.
• 35:09
  It works out those muscles at the attachment area.
• 35:12
  And there's really easy videos that take you through how to do it.
• 35:15
  And I have noticed a significant difference in my skin.
• 35:18
  And I, of course, use that in combination with red light and with nutrition and uh I do oil washing.
• 35:25
  I don't strip my face, but I don't use any Botox or filler.
• 35:28
  I think my face looks, I think I look younger than I did maybe five years ago.
• 35:32
  Might have something to do with I had little kids back then as well.
• 35:35
  But um, I often get asked, like, what did you do to your face?
• 35:41
  And then I do all the facial movements and show everyone, well, it's I can still move all the things.
• 35:46
  I just am using these tools strategically.
• 35:49
  My husband, I have to say too, he said, because oh, let me give you a little backstory on this.
• 35:55
  When I first got fired from the hospital, I worked for a med spa, like right after.
• 36:00
  And going from working in the hospital and making really good money to working in the med spa and making really terrible money as a nurse, but they were like, well, you can get discounts on things.
• 36:10
  So, like I want to say the first couple of weeks I worked there, I went to a free training.
• 36:15
  So some girl training on how to do lip filler.
• 36:19
  I got it for free, but I look, it looked like I got punched in the mouth.
• 36:22
  It wasn't even, she didn't do a good job.
• 36:25
  That's yeah, you get stuff for free.
• 36:28
  That's what you get.
• 36:29
  So I'm over there and my my family made fun of me.
• 36:32
  Like I have my family is ruthless.
• 36:34
  Like, no, good thing I'm not sensitive.
• 36:37
  I'm my girls are not growing up to be sensitive either.
• 36:40
  My husband made so much fun of me for getting lip filler that I was like, I'm never gonna do this again.
• 36:48
  So I get my zip halo, and one of the treatments on there is a is a lip plumper.
• 36:54
  Because they what the way it works is you you go on their app.
• 36:57
  It's really easy to use.
• 36:59
  I have so many girlfriends that have them.
• 37:00
  They're like, wow, this is really easy to use.
• 37:02
  And they take you through a video.
• 37:04
  And again, you just have to find the time that works for you.
• 37:07
  I used to do it at night, but now I do it during the day because I'm like, I'm getting all the benefits of being lifted and plumped during the day or at nighttime, like nobody sees me.
• 37:18
  So I started working it into my process to do it before I put my makeup on.
• 37:22
  So then I have the benefit of looking lifted in all the right places for the rest of my day.
• 37:28
  And you know, that's the short term and the long term because it has the microcurrent and the nanocurrent.
• 37:32
  Okay.
• 37:33
  So my husband, he looked at me and he goes, Did you get lip filler?
• 37:37
  And this is after I had been using this probably eight weeks because it does take some time.
• 37:42
  It takes some time for all the benefits to kick in.
• 37:44
  And I said, No, but thank you.
• 37:48
  Just like, have you been doing something to make yourself look a little younger?
• 37:53
  I mean, I have I spent so much time in the sun, you guys.
• 37:55
  I played soccer in college.
• 37:56
  So I, and I have I'm of the red hair variety.
• 37:59
  I mean, I'm not at redhead, both my daughters are.
• 38:01
  I, although in my older age, I went back to my natural color.
• 38:05
  It looks kind of red.
• 38:07
  I have had so much sun, and my body is just not, you know, I just can't handle that much sun.
• 38:15
  So I've got these like really wrinkly little lips and this zip halo has changed my face.
• 38:21
  So I will just say worth worth it, worth the investment.
• 38:25
  Something I do at night that's much more affordable.
• 38:28
  Um, oh, let me jump back to this too.
• 38:31
  I have no other replacement for the prana mat instead of like that's a cheaper option.
• 38:35
  Maybe breaking glass and walking over it.
• 38:37
  That's that's the only thing.
• 38:38
  It's it's pricey, but again, worth it.
• 38:41
  I use it a lot.
• 38:42
  Um the zip halo, there are cheaper options, not quite as effective, but I will say the gua shaw, excellent.
• 38:51
  Does kind of the same thing, but just doesn't have the nanocurrent and the microcurrent, right?
• 38:55
  So you're massaging these muscles, preparing them, allowing them to relax and working them out a little bit.
• 39:01
  And then the other tool that I really like, it takes a little bit of dexterity to use it a little more than the gua shaw, are the suction cups, and I'm not calling that's not what they're called.
• 39:13
  They're they're they look like suction cups though for your face.
• 39:17
  My daughter loves it because it's so relaxing.
• 39:20
  And so we'll do that at night while we're watching TV.
• 39:22
  I'll put some oil on my face, and you know, and gotta get it slippery enough to do the gua shaw or do the the suction cups on my face, or I will do them when I'm in the sauna.
• 39:34
  So that one's kind of like a that's a whenever it works, but I will prepare my muscles.
• 39:39
  I'll do that.
• 39:40
  And then I do uh face taping.
• 39:43
  Face taping is if you imagine Kinesio tape or K tape that you see all the athletes, you know, they've got this like brightly colored tape on their shoulder or their knee.
• 39:52
  The same principle applies to face tape.
• 39:55
  It's just much more gentle tape that you use.
• 39:59
  I interviewed a
• 40:00
  Girl not too long ago, her name's Catherine Romain, and she's on social media.
• 40:05
  She's excellent.
• 40:06
  It's, I think it's Catherine underscore underscore Romain.
• 40:09
  And she's the one that introduced me to face taping.
• 40:11
  Very affordable, very cheap.
• 40:13
  So again, another better option if you are looking for for a more affordable option.
• 40:18
  Now, sauna, I have a sauna, and we bought it off some model down in down in San Diego who had a cold plunge that we didn't really like.
• 40:30
  It didn't, we didn't like the setup of his cold plunge in a sauna.
• 40:33
  And he had an apartment and he had this cold plunge in his garage and he has the sauna in his bedroom.
• 40:40
  And I'm like, and he's like ridiculously good looking.
• 40:43
  I'm my husband looked at me because I think my husband was taken aback by how good looking this man was.
• 40:49
  And you know, it's just wow.
• 40:51
  So he got this sauna from him and it's plug-in.
• 40:54
  It just plugged into our regular, it's a near infrared sauna.
• 40:57
  What I will say about sauna is again worth every penny because what is your what is your main way of your body detoxing is through sweating.
• 41:07
  If you're not exercising, if you're not drinking enough water, if you're not eating fruits and vegetables or fiber, rather, you're not giving your body the tools it needs to get rid of all the toxic stuff we're exposed to.
• 41:20
  So I am gonna have a guy on in the in the next you know few months.
• 41:24
  His name is Clark Engelbert.
• 41:26
  He is an expert in hair tissue mineral analysis.
• 41:29
  I have been doing a heavy metal detox, which is worth again, worth every penny, has not been easy, is not for the faint of heart, but I am so full of heavy metals from all my years of being vaccinated as a healthcare worker.
• 41:43
  And then prior to that, as a kid, I had asthma, so I got vaccinated every year.
• 41:47
  Just staying up on on all the things, plus just being exposed to random stuff you don't think about, like uh aluminum cans, drinking out, gosh, I would have, you know, how many of those sparkling waters have I had over the years?
• 41:59
  I used to cook with foil.
• 42:01
  We're exposed to toxic heavy metals, not to scare you, but to encourage you to say, gosh, if I'm doing all these things right and I still have dysfunction in my body, what's going on?
• 42:12
  You probably have a toxic heavy metal burden because we all do, just living in the environment we do.
• 42:18
  And the best way to get rid of that is mineral balancing.
• 42:21
  So stay tuned for that.
• 42:23
  Uh the other thing I was gonna talk to you guys about with sauna is the difference between just a regular sauna, which is just heat, and then a near infrared sauna.
• 42:33
  So the near infrared is what I have.
• 42:35
  I like it much more because you get the same benefit.
• 42:37
  And actually, I think, you know, there's different research on both.
• 42:41
  The the near infrared's newer.
• 42:43
  Regular sauna has been around for thousands of years.
• 42:46
  Uh, I think.
• 42:47
  I mean, I don't know when the first sauna was built.
• 42:49
  But I'm thinking that I just picture the Vikings and doing some type of sauna thing.
• 42:54
  So that's not researched.
• 42:57
  That's just me talking and watching Viking shows.
• 43:00
  Uh, but the near infrared one, you doesn't have to get as hot.
• 43:03
  So you don't, I I tolerate it much better.
• 43:06
  But you get just as good a benefits.
• 43:08
  The near infrared penetrates deep into the tissues, providing the healing properties.
• 43:13
  So it helps with decrease inflammation.
• 43:15
  I I use my sauna after a workout to help increase muscle growth.
• 43:21
  The uh the bet the thing for the sauna too is it really opens up the sweating, those pathways, but you're but you have to be careful how you use it and you have to know yourself.
• 43:32
  So a lot of my clients use sauna and they'll say they're constipated.
• 43:37
  They say they have headaches, they say they're fatigued, low energy.
• 43:40
  And I cannot tell you how many times I had a conversation with someone who was not replacing electrolytes after sauna.
• 43:48
  It's a big, it's a big problem, especially if you're using it consistently.
• 43:52
  And everyone is a different, has a different reaction to this.
• 43:55
  So your friend might not need as many electrolytes as you do.
• 43:59
  And so you kind of have to play around with it.
• 44:01
  I sweat like crazy, and I am losing salt like crazy and potassium.
• 44:07
  So if I am not replacing both of those very strategically, I can feel terrible for days if I don't catch up to if I'm behind the eight ball because I'm exercising and I'm doing sauna on top of that.
• 44:20
  And I think I just happen to be a little sensitive as well.
• 44:23
  So you definitely want to know yourself.
• 44:25
  I had a gal who a weight loss client of mine who was had a lot going on, had very difficult time losing weight, a very stressful environment that she was living in.
• 44:37
  She was saunning, she's just, you know, quote unquote doing all the right things, saunning every day.
• 44:42
  She was exercising every day and very constipated, terrible headaches, migraines, and uh fatigue and just felt off.
• 44:55
  And I'm like, are you are you replacing your electrolytes?
• 45:00
  And she wasn't.
• 45:01
  She was chronically dehydrated.
• 45:03
  Now, luckily her kidney function didn't suffer.
• 45:06
  But when you're dehydrated like that, your kidney function is like a sponge and your kidneys are like a sponge.
• 45:12
  And if you let them get too dried out, it's really bad.
• 45:14
  And they help filter things out and they help keep your your fluid balance in your body as well.
• 45:19
  So moral of the story is that if you don't feel great and you're sawing consistently, look at your electrolytes and make sure you're replacing them.
• 45:27
  I don't like element.
• 45:29
  A lot of people like that one.
• 45:30
  I think for me, it is too high in salt.
• 45:33
  I like to make my own.
• 45:34
  There's one uh that I I currently am not making my own, but there are a lot of recipes out there that you where you can make your own.
• 45:41
  I really like it's called dry water.
• 45:43
  I don't have a code for you guys on that, but it's higher in potassium, which is harder to get.
• 45:48
  And I then add my own salt to that and make sure I am getting high potassium foods as well.
• 45:53
  I make sure I'm hydrating uh with regular with water and salting my food and all those things, particularly if I'm going to be sawing.
• 46:00
  So you just kind of have to know yourself.
• 46:02
  I can kind of tell, I'm like, this is a if I'm getting a headache out of nowhere, I'm like, this is a dehydration headache.
• 46:08
  This feels different than gosh, I just like looked at, I was watching TV without blue light blocking glasses for too long.
• 46:15
  Okay, that's a great segue into blue light blocking glasses.
• 46:19
  Are these things even worth it?
• 46:21
  What are we talking about?
• 46:22
  Okay, let me give you the the quick and dirty on.
• 46:25
  So we talked about red light.
• 46:26
  Now we're gonna talk about blue light.
• 46:27
  Red light is more calming, okay, can help you fall asleep.
• 46:30
  Blue light's more stimulating.
• 46:32
  When you are looking at your electronic device, whether it's your phone, whether it's a computer screen, your TV, your iPad, when what type of lights that you have inside your house, the just the energy efficient lights are very high in blue and blue light.
• 46:53
  And blue light's natural.
• 46:55
  Blue light occurs in the sun, but not to the concentration that it is in all these devices.
• 47:00
  And it really throws off your brain.
• 47:02
  And so we get like a toxic blue light burden essentially.
• 47:06
  And we that's one reason we have trouble sleeping.
• 47:08
  If you have trouble sleeping and you are not uh getting outside during the day, particularly when you first wake up to flip on that switch and tell your body, oh, Tori's doing daytime things now.
• 47:18
  And at nighttime, if you're not lowering your light, like you're not wearing blue light blocking glasses and you're watching TV without any blue light blocking glasses, and your lights are all on, and you have all they're bright, and you don't have the lower, the yellow looking uh bulbs that you can get on Amazon.
• 47:37
  They're not very expensive.
• 47:38
  I have those like in my in my bedroom.
• 47:41
  Then that's the first thing you should change.
• 47:43
  I cannot tell you how many clients where I talk to them.
• 47:46
  I do a quick little intake and they say, Oh, I have trouble sleeping.
• 47:49
  Okay, talk to me about your light environment.
• 47:51
  They're like, what?
• 47:52
  Like, I know I have trouble sleeping.
• 47:53
  I'm like, I know.
• 47:54
  The light dramatically impacts your sleep.
• 47:57
  If you fix someone's sleep, everything gets better.
• 48:00
  That's when your body regenerates.
• 48:03
  That's when you're, if you're not sleeping, your hormones are gonna be thrown off.
• 48:06
  Your cortisol, your stress hormones gonna be high the next day.
• 48:09
  You're gonna have more cravings.
• 48:10
  You're gonna feel uh more cranky, you're gonna have trouble losing weight, your hormones are gonna be imbalanced, you're gonna have terrible periods, like all could just be from our toxic light environment.
• 48:20
  So you fix that, and with some other things too.
• 48:23
  It's usually not just that, but wow.
• 48:25
  When I and what a win, right?
• 48:27
  When I have talked to someone and they're like, I haven't slept that great in years.
• 48:32
  Walk off.
• 48:32
  I'm like, you're welcome.
• 48:34
  Sounds good.
• 48:35
  Everything's gonna get better from here because you know if you're rested, everything seems easier.
• 48:40
  You feel like you can actually do the things you need to do.
• 48:44
  Blue light.
• 48:45
  Get some.
• 48:46
  I have like I buy the six-pack blue light blocking glasses on Amazon.
• 48:50
  We lose half of them in six months, no big deal.
• 48:52
  It was like $12.
• 48:53
  I leave them by my TV.
• 48:55
  I give them to my kids.
• 48:56
  But to make it easier, I put probably the best money I spent on my phone accessory is I have a blue light blocking screen protector on there.
• 49:06
  You can turn your screen also to a low light and you can turn it to a red light.
• 49:11
  But I dropped my phone, as we do, you know, we drop our phones.
• 49:16
  And the screen protector shatter did its thing, was what it's supposed to do, right?
• 49:21
  It absorbed that shock.
• 49:22
  So I ordered another one on Amazon, but it didn't come for a couple days.
• 49:26
  So I ripped that one off.
• 49:27
  I just couldn't look at it anymore.
• 49:28
  It was like too busted.
• 49:30
  And for those few days, I use my phone a lot for work and you know, like just general life.
• 49:35
  And I could not believe how irritated my eyes felt.
• 49:39
  I even like right now, I'll just tell you, I am recording without glasses because if I put on glasses, then the glare on the screen's really bad for for you guys.
• 49:49
  And the I have a light shining on directly in my in my face that's you know, not a soft blue light or what all whatever.
• 49:58
  So I'm looking at my computer screen, I have.
• 50:00
  This other light.
• 50:00
  And I just, I feel a little strung out, to be honest with you because of this light.
• 50:04
  I don't, I really avoid this level of light, this intensity level.
• 50:09
  Something that you can do.
• 50:10
  I mean, blue light blocking glasses are really cheap.
• 50:13
  Get screen protectors.
• 50:14
  There's also software you can get for your computer screen if you are someone who is in front of a screen all day long.
• 50:20
  Another thing you can do is put your computer next to a window.
• 50:24
  South facing is best for us here in the US because it allows the most, you know, it's the most sunlight.
• 50:30
  So if you can set yourself up for a soft facing window, you might start sleeping better instantly.
• 50:36
  Incredible, right?
• 50:37
  So those are some things to think about.
• 50:40
  Along these lines, since we're talking about sleep.
• 50:43
  Grounding sheets, are they worth it?
• 50:46
  Well, I would say yes.
• 50:48
  You have to get a reputable brand though.
• 50:50
  So I have a link in there.
• 50:51
  I'll share with you guys.
• 50:53
  Uh the grounding sheets were in best were an investment for me on Black Friday last year.
• 51:01
  And what we're trying to simulate again, we talked about trying to be a connected to the ground, the way that our ancestors were connected to the ground.
• 51:09
  And we don't have that.
• 51:11
  And so the way that you can be grounded in your house when you're, you know, inside a lot, you can connect these sheets or this grounding mat to a grounding part of your outlet.
• 51:23
  You plug it in, and now you are connected to the earth because your house is grounded.
• 51:28
  The electricity is grounded.
• 51:29
  Now you have to check.
• 51:30
  Not all of your outlets are grounded.
• 51:33
  So you do need there's a little device you can get to check to see if that device, that outlet is actually grounded.
• 51:38
  But I'll tell you how I use this.
• 51:40
  So we sleep with these sheets.
• 51:42
  I got them for my kids.
• 51:44
  And this just helps us in the in the winter time, even though I live in Southern California and it's just beautiful weather compared to the rest of the country.
• 51:50
  I'm not always outside without my shoes.
• 51:53
  Now I take every opportunity to do that if I to get the real thing, because the real thing's better than grounding mats, getting your feet in the grass, getting your feet in the sand, getting your feet in the dirt.
• 52:05
  But it doesn't, it isn't always accessible for us.
• 52:07
  So this is a nice happy medium.
• 52:09
  I also have a grounding mat I have under my desk, which is great.
• 52:13
  So I pop my shoes off.
• 52:14
  I'm at the desk, I'm grounding the whole day.
• 52:16
  I'm working, it helps decrease inflammation.
• 52:19
  The easiest way to say this is that it helps to give your body the charge that it needs.
• 52:26
  When you eat fruits and vegetables, you are soaking up antioxidants.
• 52:30
  Okay.
• 52:30
  You're giving your body these extra tools it needs to neutralize the breakdown that happens in your body.
• 52:37
  Everybody's body breaks down.
• 52:38
  That's just the way it works.
• 52:39
  These antioxidants help neutralize that breakdown.
• 52:42
  Grounding in my mind is a similar thing.
• 52:46
  When you ground, it decreases inflammation.
• 52:48
  It's giving your body this charge that it needs that we were created for.
• 52:52
  God made us to be connected to the earth.
• 52:54
  He made us to be outside in the sun.
• 52:57
  When we are disconnected from the way that we're created, our body starts not to work as well for us.
• 53:03
  So there's things we could do.
• 53:04
  If you can't, if you don't want to purchase grounding mat or sheets, go outside.
• 53:09
  Put your feet in the grass.
• 53:11
  Put your feet in the sand every opportunity you get.
• 53:13
  30 minutes a day is a great thing to shoot for.
• 53:16
  Okay.
• 53:19
  Life wave patches.
• 53:24
  All right, phototherapy patches.
• 53:27
  Now, phototherapy, we've talked a lot about red light.
• 53:30
  Let's talk about near infrared light again.
• 53:32
  Let's revisit that.
• 53:33
  When you, the sauna that I have, it's the near infrared light, it penetrates deep, deep into the tissue, whereas red light is more surface to stimulate healing.
• 53:44
  Your body, because you were created by God this way, so amazing, creates near infrared light.
• 53:50
  When you, your body's emitting near infrared light at all times.
• 53:54
  So there are these little phototherapy patches, not medication, nothing major.
• 54:05
  With its technology, it reflects the near infrared light back to your body that your body is already making and it helps the healing process.
• 54:15
  Amazing.
• 54:17
  Let me give you a little anecdotal story.
• 54:19
  If you listen to my last show, I think I probably talked about this, but I think it's too incredible to talk about.
• 54:26
  If you go to uh if you go to my page via the link, you can check out all kinds of different testimonials.
• 54:34
  My goodness, my goodness.
• 54:36
  So I told you I have a hernated disc in my neck.
• 54:40
  I have two numb fingers, which I just live with.
• 54:43
  Numb fingers are weird and they're a little more sensitive.
• 54:46
  It's almost like having a having a funny bone that's exposed all the time.
• 54:51
  You know, when you hit your funny bone, it's just like, oh, the nerve.
• 54:54
  So with this nerve damage, that's what I feel all the time.
• 54:57
  I started getting shooting nerve pain in this in these fingers when I started using these patches.
• 55:04
  And more an increased feeling, increased sensation in my fingers.
• 55:11
  And I can only imagine what else is going on in my body if my nerves are regenerating from an old injury.
• 55:17
  Now, my husband, very interesting.
• 55:20
  He got his finger cut off by his dad.
• 55:23
  It was an accident.
• 55:24
  They're building a fence.
• 55:26
  And he last minute stuck his hand on the top of the fence post to readjust it because it looked crooked.
• 55:31
  And his dad came down with a sledgehammer and popped off his finger.
• 55:35
  They ended up reattaching it, but he has had no feeling in that finger for 40 years.
• 55:43
  He starts using the patches.
• 55:45
  He calls me one day.
• 55:46
  He's like, I don't know what's going on, but I'm getting terrible shooting pains in this finger of mine that's none, which again, you might be like, oh, I don't want that.
• 55:54
  I don't want shooting nerve pain, but you got to think the your body is regenerating.
• 55:59
  It's incredible what we can do.
• 56:02
  So I cannot say enough about these.
• 56:04
  There's, and there's different patches for pain and for uh inflammation and for mood and anxiety.
• 56:11
  There is just so many opportunities for for healing in a very natural way.
• 56:18
  And I'm all about that.
• 56:19
  So check those out.
• 56:22
  Before we go, I wanted to address the number one Christmas gift.
• 56:26
  If you are looking for yourself or for somebody else, it's very affordable.
• 56:31
  The weighted vest.
• 56:32
  And if you follow me on social media, I was very resistant to the weighted vest, even though all my clients had them.
• 56:38
  I was like, I don't need that.
• 56:39
  I don't need that.
• 56:40
  I already have my routine, whatever, you know.
• 56:43
  I just think I know everything.
• 56:44
  I said, Oh, I don't need that.
• 56:45
  But I ended up getting one to go on my uh last trip over the summer.
• 56:51
  It was awesome.
• 56:52
  And I use it all the time now.
• 56:54
  There's one on Amazon that is so affordable and it's like half off right now for Black Friday.
• 56:59
  Go check that out.
