Regaining One Leg Up After May Hospitalization Requires Instinctual Avoidance of Bad Foods · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:02
  Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All Right, Well, like Sunday,
• 0:08
  I have a few different podcasts. I'm gonna drop in the series here.
• 0:12
  So where do I start. Well, I'm gonna start with my own journey.
• 0:15
  Okay, I've been talking about on the air and radio and private talks
• 0:21
  that you know. I've traded in the hot dogs, the greasy hamburgers,
• 0:29
  although they're delicious, for the healthier stuff at Yankee Stadium. That is a
• 0:34
  big win. Since May twentieth onward, see that hospitalization. Some would say,
• 0:42
  you've had to coming to you, You never to carry yourself this side
• 0:45
  the other. But I look at it as another blessing because this warning sign,
• 0:50
  that gullstone that pained me on from May twenty to May twenty second.
• 0:55
  Having arriving in pain has taught me a lesson. Go for the waters,
• 1:03
  the vitamin waters, Go for even the iced tea. But no more pepsi,
• 1:11
  No more of those sugary drinks, you know, the horrible soda that
• 1:19
  I used to live off of. When it comes to coffee, my change
• 1:23
  is now decaf. Okay. I went from caffee every day to decaf with
• 1:26
  a little oat milk and maybe a shot of express pretty pretty much better.
• 1:34
  Though. The whole point is to deguncify my gallbladder and to deguncify and further
• 1:44
  keep things moving in the stomach area, the intestines, all that fun stuff.
• 1:49
  You've got to make the right choice. So I don't look at it
• 1:52
  as I had it coming. I look at it as it was a blessing
• 1:56
  because now I instinctually don't reach for the pizza. I instinctually don't reach for
• 2:02
  the Big Three, the McDonald's, the Wendy's, the Burger Kings. I
• 2:07
  cut those out entirely because what's it gonna do to me? It's gonna lead
• 2:13
  me back there in the hospital with that same pain. Who wants that?
• 2:17
  Who honestly wants that? So I guess it had to happen to have one
• 2:27
  leg up in this city again, because if it didn't, who knows how
• 2:30
  long I would have kept going. And maybe if you hear me now compared
• 2:35
  to a couple of months ago, maybe maybe possibly I sound stronger than I
• 2:38
  did because I've cleaned out myself. Yes, I have this one of my
• 2:42
  family, my loved ones, Gabby, my mom, my stepdad, my
• 2:46
  sister Abby, and my friends. But ultimately it's my choice now, not
• 2:54
  that it wasn't before, but I've recognized it's my choice. Do I go
• 2:59
  for the mushroom bar early soup or the fatty burger and French fries. Do
• 3:06
  I go for the hot dogs or the peants and crackerjacks, or do I
• 3:09
  go for the roasted chicken, which we had by the way at Yankee Stadium.
• 3:15
  It's a choice, and I've never thought of it that way, but
• 3:20
  now I am more conscious of that choice. I'm even more conscious about my
• 3:23
  body's moving because of this episode. So I'm very thankful this happened. Did
• 3:30
  it hurt like a bitch? Yes, it did, But I'm very thankful
• 3:35
  it happened because if it didn't, who knows how much more gunking and gunk
• 3:45
  was gonna happen what they're calling his gold Planter sludge. And the other part
• 3:50
  of this journey I've realized is it's okay to talk about it. It's not
• 3:53
  oversharing, because who knows, you might have many people in your fear that
• 4:00
  I've dealt with, or have family members that have dealt with gall bladder gallstone
• 4:04
  issues, or even have it removed from the body. It's a more prevalent
• 4:11
  thing than we talk about, because it doesn't really affect us until it boom
• 4:17
  hits us right where it hurts in that stomach area. I don't want to
• 4:21
  feel that pain again. I really don't. This is amazing and estimated six
• 4:39
  point three million men and fourteen point two million women who have had gallbladder disease
• 4:46
  or some kind of gallbladder issue. When I got my high cholesterol, I
• 4:53
  kind of was on alert in the beginning of May. Tried to follow upon
• 4:57
  it didn't work out. All of a sudden, I'm sitting there wondering why
• 5:02
  I'm not, you know, going to the bathroom. Now, this is
• 5:08
  oversharing. I'm sorry, but this is my journey right here. And then
• 5:13
  when they said you have pancreatitus, you might have you passed a gallstone.
• 5:18
  That's what we believe, that's what the doctors believe. Change everything, the
• 5:25
  diagnoses changed everything. But how about you? Have you instinctually avoided the fatty
• 5:34
  foods? Have you instinctually avoided foods that will harm the body? Have you
• 5:41
  had a moment where you have realized your body is a temple and you must
• 5:46
  treat it as so. I tell you, I have This moment was a
• 5:56
  moment where I had had realized I had treating my body as that temple that
• 6:01
  Christ talks about. But I will, and maybe you will be inspired too
• 6:09
  as well, because I don't want another person to have to rive in pain
• 6:13
  because of gallstones or kidney stones. Even these things can be avoided. I
• 6:18
  believe that, and I'm working on it. I'm instinctually putting it out there
• 6:27
  just by my daily choice. It is a choice. I thought going in
• 6:30
  the bathroom with the captain or was my only choice. No, there's a
• 6:34
  whole bunch of other choices we make in a day that not only changes the
• 6:39
  trajectory of our day, but of our health. So how are you changing
• 6:45
  the trajectory of not only your day but your health in the upswing? How
• 6:49
  are you making sure your body stock is going up, not declining to a
• 6:54
  point of arriving in pain in a hospital bed. Well, for me,
• 7:00
  that choice is very clear, having lived it, experience it, gotten nauseous
• 7:05
  from it. The nausea now is when I think of passing by a white
• 7:12
  deal, a burger here McDonald's. That gives me daus. That gives me
• 7:17
  nausea, as is the two dollar pizzas and I used to love those too.
• 7:23
  Can't have it, can't have it. So maybe I did have this
• 7:30
  coming to me after my ugly diet of caffeinated coffee and sewd almost every day
• 7:38
  and not injecting that vitamin water and I'm injecting, you know, things to
• 7:45
  make the body move. Now, I'm on a regiment, and that regimen
• 7:53
  should give me another forty to fifty years. We pray to God, pray
• 8:00
  to God. But if you're listening to this today on the Alex Carrett podcast
• 8:03
  Network, not only change the trajectory of your day, change the trajectory of
• 8:09
  your health. Everything you eat, everything you drink is a choice. I
• 8:16
  don't give a crap about peer pressure. It's a choice. So what choice
• 8:20
  are you gonna make today? Will you be like me and instinctly avoiding the
• 8:26
  bad crap from now on? Or will you be like this stat was astounding,
• 8:35
  Like the ninety three percent of Americans what more than one chronic health condition.
• 8:43
  We gotta get people away from that ninety three percent and into that seven
• 8:46
  percent category. And of the percentage of those who don't even have one chronic
• 8:52
  condition or have worked on it and not developed even more, the ratio can
• 8:58
  be reduced. We just have to instinctually avoid the bad shit. Yes,
• 9:03
  I said shit, the bad shit, And that's what I'm gonna tell you
• 9:09
  every day or daily. Hey, guess what I had my mushroom barley soup.
• 9:13
  I had brisk iced tea instead of a soada. I had a whole
• 9:18
  weed toast instead of white toasts. I mean, there are little changes throughout
• 9:22
  the day we all can make to just get our body right. So comingly
• 9:28
  on my journey, maybe my journey will inspire to get on a journey of
• 9:33
  eating well, of drinking your water, your viamin water, even mineral water,
• 9:46
  and also on your on your snacks. We have been enjoying delicious dairy
• 9:56
  free ice cream. That's been a trip because it's so good. It's dairy
• 9:58
  free, so they told me. I've looked it up. Gall bladder research
• 10:03
  says cut out the dairy as much as possible. Soy milk and oat milk
• 10:11
  I seem to tolerate, but that two that whole milk, no surrey,
• 10:18
  no surrey, Bob. So instinctual avoidance is how I'm gonna label this podcast,
• 10:26
  and how instinctual avoidance of the bad stuff can bring you more life,
• 10:33
  more years on this planet Earth that we all should love so much. Thanks
• 10:39
  be to God. On the Alex Garrett Podcast Network
