- 0:33Speaker 2: Hey, good afternoon and welcome to Wellness Uncensored. My name
- 0:37Speaker 2: is Dr. Patty G. I am your host here today
- 0:40Speaker 2: to talk to you about all things censored and uncensored, actually.
- 0:44Speaker 2: You know, we have been spending a lot of time
- 0:46Speaker 2: talking about mental health and wellness. We've had Dr. Tal
- 0:50Speaker 2: Braun on the last couple of weeks. He will be
- 0:52Speaker 2: joining us. A little craziness in our schedules today, so
- 0:57Speaker 2: we'll definitely get him back on probably next week. But
- 1:00Speaker 2: today I wanted to really go over some things that
- 1:04Speaker 2: maybe even you had heard on prior shows and also
- 1:07Speaker 2: just to discuss what does it really take to make change?
- 1:11Speaker 2: How do we make change in our lives when we
- 1:14Speaker 2: really don't even know where to begin or we think
- 1:17Speaker 2: everything is just not fixable or we've just kind of
- 1:21Speaker 2: come to a crossroads and we really start to question ourselves.
- 1:24Speaker 2: And so a lot of stuff comes my way when
- 1:27Speaker 2: I have patients come to my office and Much of
- 1:31Speaker 2: what they share initially, it's really not anything that is
- 1:35Speaker 2: just not fixable. But for the individual, have you ever
- 1:39Speaker 2: felt like you just run out of ideas? You feel
- 1:42Speaker 2: like you've been just doing things and you've tried new
- 1:45Speaker 2: things and nothing is just, nothing's working. So today I
- 1:49Speaker 2: wanted to go over things that maybe you have questions about.
- 1:52Speaker 2: You can always text into us and we can talk
- 1:55Speaker 2: to you today live with different things that perhaps maybe
- 1:58Speaker 2: you've been wondering about. You know, September, it's really exciting
- 2:01Speaker 2: today to be able to kind of kick us off, too,
- 2:04Speaker 2: with just National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Month. And
- 2:10Speaker 2: so September is the month that we want to always
- 2:13Speaker 2: recognize and remember people who didn't know where to find
- 2:17Speaker 2: options or felt like they were out of options. And
- 2:20Speaker 2: it's just a really important time to remember whether it's
- 2:23Speaker 2: you or someone that you love. keep in mind that
- 2:26Speaker 2: the number to dial 988 is a number that you
- 2:29Speaker 2: can use to find a way to talk through your issues,
- 2:33Speaker 2: your sadness, and maybe even give you some ideas, some solutions,
- 2:38Speaker 2: or even just a little bit of hope. And each
- 2:40Speaker 2: year we just, we lose far too many people to suicide.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And so with that concept in mind, you know, what
- 2:48Speaker 2: do you do when things seem overwhelming? How do you
- 2:51Speaker 2: work it through? I've had, Folks that don't always have
- 2:54Speaker 2: friends or resources or family members, even that they feel
- 2:57Speaker 2: there's no one, absolutely no one to talk to. And
- 3:01Speaker 2: while that's sad, somebody needs to be a voice. So
- 3:05Speaker 2: whether it be suggesting they reach out to a professional
- 3:09Speaker 2: provider or listening to podcasts or even trying to get
- 3:14Speaker 2: into maybe some kind of group therapy, there's always things
- 3:18Speaker 2: to do. even right down to if there's thoughts and
- 3:23Speaker 2: beliefs in God and faith. I mean, just attending a
- 3:26Speaker 2: faith-based service, reaching out, there's support groups that they provide
- 3:30Speaker 2: at many of the faith-based organizations that are out there
- 3:32Speaker 2: across the country. So there's always an option. And when
- 3:36Speaker 2: options feel like they're running scarce and dry, you always
- 3:40Speaker 2: have us here on Wellness Uncensored. We can be a
- 3:42Speaker 2: source for you to at least guide you. And for us,
- 3:46Speaker 2: our website is magnolia, the letter B wellness.com. And you
- 3:52Speaker 2: can reach us at 904-377-1196. So what we're going to
- 3:58Speaker 2: take today and talk about all the things, you know, Dr.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Braun and I spent the last couple of weeks talking
- 4:04Speaker 2: about things that I hope provoked some questions and some
- 4:08Speaker 2: uncertainty that things are not always as they're presented, right?
- 4:13Speaker 2: You know, things that appear in media, things that appear
- 4:15Speaker 2: online are, Even things that do appear online that you
- 4:19Speaker 2: might look to, oh, try this new hair product or
- 4:22Speaker 2: try this new supplement. You know, you shouldn't always just
- 4:26Speaker 2: accept and believe things blindly. We see where that got us,
- 4:30Speaker 2: you know, for the past six years. And there's so
- 4:34Speaker 2: much that's coming out now. I really am. I'm enthusiastic.
- 4:37Speaker 2: I'm not excited because it's really sad. It took us
- 4:40Speaker 2: this long to really kind of wake up and start
- 4:43Speaker 2: to question things. I don't know where and how and
- 4:45Speaker 2: why we ever stopped questioning. Have you ever thought about that?
- 4:49Speaker 2: You know, again, where you fall in the spectrum of
- 4:54Speaker 2: generation X, Y, or baby boomers, generation Z, or whatever
- 4:59Speaker 2: the latest one is these last few years forward. The
- 5:04Speaker 2: mind is an amazing, wonderful thing. And the ability to
- 5:07Speaker 2: question and critically think means that you are stimulating the
- 5:12Speaker 2: And you're posing ideas that maybe someone else didn't think about.
- 5:15Speaker 2: And you know, what often fascinates but worries me is
- 5:19Speaker 2: the advent of AI, artificial intelligence. I even have patients
- 5:24Speaker 2: today that will utilize AI to ask questions about how
- 5:28Speaker 2: they're feeling and what they should do. And I've mentioned it,
- 5:32Speaker 2: I know at least once before, but when I was
- 5:34Speaker 2: a kid, the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey, was on
- 5:41Speaker 2: the big screen. And I couldn't have been more than,
- 5:44Speaker 2: I don't know, seven or eight years old, maybe nine
- 5:46Speaker 2: or 10. And it was fascinating to watch a smart
- 5:51Speaker 2: man who was out on a spaceship speak to a
- 5:55Speaker 2: computer and the computer spoke fluently to him. And it
- 5:58Speaker 2: basically started telling him things that became very not surreal,
- 6:05Speaker 2: not real, they were very surreal. But yet he listened
- 6:08Speaker 2: to it intently and he started doing things and it
- 6:10Speaker 2: was actually going to cause his own demise. And then
- 6:14Speaker 2: fast forward, I don't know, some 15, 20 years later
- 6:16Speaker 2: on South Park, they had the same thing. And I
- 6:20Speaker 2: think it was Cartman. Maybe I'm wrong, but I know
- 6:23Speaker 2: it was one of the characters. I think it was Cartman.
- 6:26Speaker 2: He was caught up in it and one of them
- 6:28Speaker 2: went in to save him and help him through the
- 6:31Speaker 2: spaghetti of all this computer fascination that we all got
- 6:35Speaker 2: caught up with. But I do want to emphasize your
- 6:40Speaker 2: mind and your ability is so important to stimulate and
- 6:45Speaker 2: challenge and question things that don't appear normal in front
- 6:49Speaker 2: of you. In fact, have you ever noticed or thought
- 6:51Speaker 2: that maybe sometimes we've even normalized all of the violence
- 6:55Speaker 2: or the fighting or the turmoil that takes place that
- 6:59Speaker 2: many years ago, you would never see the level of violence,
- 7:03Speaker 2: of racing cars, of theft, of schemes to defraud people
- 7:08Speaker 2: with internet and credit card scams, all that stuff. So
- 7:13Speaker 2: minds can be used in not so good ways, devious ways.
- 7:17Speaker 2: And yes, Larry, I'm telling you that I actually have
- 7:21Speaker 2: patients that will come in. And fascinating enough, many of
- 7:24Speaker 2: them have what I would describe diagnostic-wise is these are
- 7:28Speaker 2: folks that tend to overthink. So some of them do
- 7:31Speaker 2: have more of an obsessive compulsive thinking, thinking, thinking. But yeah,
- 7:37Speaker 2: there are people out there now that are leaning into AI.
- 7:40Speaker 2: And they're not all OCD thinkers. But try it. Although
- 7:45Speaker 2: I question even suggesting to try it. But if you
- 7:48Speaker 2: ask AI a question about, well, I'm feeling like this today,
- 7:51Speaker 2: or I'm not sure what I should do about planting
- 7:53Speaker 2: a tree or talking to my spouse, AI will give
- 7:57Speaker 2: you a response. Now, I'm not saying that it's a
- 8:03Speaker 2: good answer. but it definitely does come up with an answer. So,
- 8:08Speaker 2: you know, more to come, more to learn. And I
- 8:11Speaker 2: have tried using AI for a couple of things in business.
- 8:15Speaker 2: And I will tell you, if you've used it, you
- 8:17Speaker 2: probably know. And if you haven't, there is a wonderful
- 8:21Speaker 2: algorithm that will put like papers in front of you
- 8:24Speaker 2: and documents, and it will solve some things in front
- 8:27Speaker 2: of you, but there's always going to be another side
- 8:30Speaker 2: to that. And so, yes, I really caution you if
- 8:34Speaker 2: you are using AI or considering using AI to figure
- 8:38Speaker 2: out your life, you know, look to some people who
- 8:41Speaker 2: have good wisdom, look to people that are your mentors
- 8:45Speaker 2: and supports, look to family, you know, and if professionally,
- 8:48Speaker 2: I certainly recommend getting the guidance and advice of someone
- 8:52Speaker 2: who's at least specializing in either life coaching or psychiatry,
- 8:58Speaker 2: mental health coaching and things like that. So, But just
- 9:02Speaker 2: that's kind of an aside. Did you guys know that
- 9:05Speaker 2: people are doing that? The other piece, kind of back
- 9:08Speaker 2: to what I was talking, first getting on here, is
- 9:12Speaker 2: not everybody feels they need to see someone in mental health.
- 9:16Speaker 2: And I would agree. Not everything needs to rise to
- 9:19Speaker 2: the level of a therapist or a psychiatric provider. But
- 9:23Speaker 2: just as simple as how do I refocus my day?
- 9:26Speaker 2: How do I refocus my life? How do I do
- 9:29Speaker 2: things differently? and take a fresh look at things. And
- 9:33Speaker 2: it's just fascinating to me because I will have some
- 9:35Speaker 2: people that will take the extra trip and go, you know,
- 9:38Speaker 2: I need to talk to a professional and good for
- 9:40Speaker 2: them for coming in. But what I'm telling you is
- 9:43Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that I'm suggesting that part
- 9:46Speaker 2: of why I even do the podcast is because sometimes
- 9:49Speaker 2: you just need to do this yourself and take a
- 9:52Speaker 2: fresh look, write down some things that you're struggling with,
- 9:56Speaker 2: make a plus and minus list, right? Like make a
- 9:59Speaker 2: list of things that are not going well. And I
- 10:02Speaker 2: always try to recommend to people to make a list
- 10:05Speaker 2: of those things that are not positive for you that
- 10:09Speaker 2: you're struggling with, and then make a list of things
- 10:12Speaker 2: that you're happy with. or that you see as a
- 10:15Speaker 2: benefit or successful. And your list can be very varied.
- 10:18Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be all related to work or
- 10:22Speaker 2: all related to your relationships. Kind of work on it
- 10:26Speaker 2: as a collage. You may have work, home life, goals
- 10:31Speaker 2: and projects, trips you'd like to go on, friends, and
- 10:36Speaker 2: write down where your stressors or your negatives are, and
- 10:38Speaker 2: then take the other side, the positive side, And write
- 10:42Speaker 2: down all the things that you're really satisfied with or
- 10:44Speaker 2: the things that you feel are going in the right direction.
- 10:47Speaker 2: And it's kind of like an inventory, your own personal inventory.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Because again, when folks come to me, they're almost usually
- 10:54Speaker 2: at wit's end. And so I'll break it down and
- 10:56Speaker 2: we'll do just this, just what I'm telling you guys.
- 10:59Speaker 2: So it's kind of like the secret sauce from the shop,
- 11:01Speaker 2: but it's really not a secret and it's really not complex.
- 11:04Speaker 2: The other thing to do is let's do an inventory
- 11:08Speaker 2: of what your day and your week looks like. Is
- 11:11Speaker 2: your day too full? Is your week too full? Have
- 11:14Speaker 2: you crossed the balance from work and home and family? Now,
- 11:19Speaker 2: many of you know that 33 days ago, I started
- 11:22Speaker 2: my journey on my 75-day hard challenge. I'm halfway there.
- 11:27Speaker 2: This weekend will take me right into the halfway mark.
- 11:31Speaker 2: And with that hard challenge, if any of you Google it,
- 11:34Speaker 2: you need to do two workouts a day, 45 minutes each,
- 11:37Speaker 2: one indoors, one outdoors. And it's not meant to be
- 11:41Speaker 2: a light workout. So I'm usually running about five, six
- 11:44Speaker 2: miles a day. I'm lifting weights twice a day. And
- 11:47Speaker 2: you have to drink a gallon of water throughout the day.
- 11:50Speaker 2: And you also have to abstain no alcohol. And really
- 11:53Speaker 2: your diet needs to be lean and clean. So my
- 11:55Speaker 2: diet's pretty lean, very laden with protein and supplements. You
- 12:00Speaker 2: also need to be able to read from a nonfiction book,
- 12:05Speaker 2: 10 pages a day. And I do make some journal notes.
- 12:10Speaker 2: So that's the path I've chosen. But why I think
- 12:13Speaker 2: it's so important, it has given me far more mental
- 12:18Speaker 2: clarity than I think I've probably had in the last
- 12:20Speaker 2: 10 to 15 years, at least 10. And my body
- 12:25Speaker 2: feels good. And I went out last night, you know,
- 12:28Speaker 2: we went to go hear some music and there were
- 12:30Speaker 2: just a few people around and we're pleasant, we're social,
- 12:34Speaker 2: but I'm not overly social. And we got talking to
- 12:37Speaker 2: some people and some lady who overheard me and she said,
- 12:39Speaker 2: you're doing the 75 day hard challenge. Really? How far
- 12:44Speaker 2: are you? And I told her I was day 32
- 12:46Speaker 2: and she was half, maybe three quarters less my age.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And she said, I want to do that. She goes,
- 12:52Speaker 2: I can't believe how are you doing it? But what
- 12:55Speaker 2: was interesting about it is, you know, when I explained
- 12:58Speaker 2: to her how good I felt, she goes, aren't you
- 13:00Speaker 2: sore from all the working out and the exercises? And she,
- 13:04Speaker 2: I had thought about that the first two, three weeks in.
- 13:07Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever worked out twice a day,
- 13:10Speaker 2: but because I'm doing all the right things, right? Hydration
- 13:14Speaker 2: is huge. So for some simple mental wellness tips and tidbits, hydrating,
- 13:20Speaker 2: why we talk about hydrating and really hydrating with good
- 13:23Speaker 2: liquid water, add some branch chain aminos, some of your
- 13:29Speaker 2: sport and fitness drinks. They're generally good. You do have
- 13:32Speaker 2: to look at the labels, but let's just stay with water.
- 13:35Speaker 2: When you hydrate and your body is 70% water, you
- 13:38Speaker 2: are putting a lot of fluid into those cells and
- 13:40Speaker 2: cells like fluid. It's just like if you took a
- 13:43Speaker 2: jellyfish or a clam. When you see the clamshell and
- 13:48Speaker 2: no contents of the clam inside or it's all dried
- 13:53Speaker 2: up because it didn't have enough fluid to sustain, it
- 13:55Speaker 2: was pulled out of the water. Same thing with the jellyfish.
- 13:59Speaker 2: So think about your body. your body is very resilient. And,
- 14:02Speaker 2: you know, there's some simple ways to check to see
- 14:04Speaker 2: if you're hydrated. One of the ways is to pinch
- 14:06Speaker 2: your skin. And if your skin goes back down quickly,
- 14:09Speaker 2: you're well hydrated. If you find that it's delayed and
- 14:13Speaker 2: it's slow to go back down and it's not elastic,
- 14:17Speaker 2: you're probably pretty dehydrated. Likewise, if you find that you've
- 14:21Speaker 2: got some, what we call swelling or edema, especially lower
- 14:25Speaker 2: body edema, or if you feel, you know, puffiness around
- 14:29Speaker 2: and you compress it and you're like, it blanches, it
- 14:31Speaker 2: turns white, then you might be holding fluid. And that's
- 14:35Speaker 2: a whole different discussion, but hydration is important. The other
- 14:38Speaker 2: piece that's important, you know, as I was talking about
- 14:41Speaker 2: the 75 day challenge is your nutrition. So why I
- 14:44Speaker 2: haven't been so sore or sore at all is because
- 14:48Speaker 2: even though I'm working out hard, I'm hydrating and I'm
- 14:51Speaker 2: nourishing with simple, lean ingredients. And so in eating, you know,
- 14:57Speaker 2: good nutrition and in hydrating, I'm optimizing much like I've
- 15:02Speaker 2: taught all of you about how you fuel your gas tank.
- 15:05Speaker 2: You can't drive your car without enough gas. You cannot
- 15:08Speaker 2: or should not drive your car without the correct amount
- 15:11Speaker 2: of oil or a fresh change of your oil every 10,000 miles.
- 15:16Speaker 2: If you don't get that oil changed and you let
- 15:18Speaker 2: the car run and run and run and run and run,
- 15:21Speaker 2: most of you know what happens. And it really clogs
- 15:23Speaker 2: up the engine and the pistons and all those things
- 15:26Speaker 2: that some of you probably have a lot of knowledge about.
- 15:29Speaker 2: And you can really clog it up to the point
- 15:32Speaker 2: that your engine will stop working. Well, in our bodies,
- 15:35Speaker 2: you know, our engine is our heart and our kidneys.
- 15:38Speaker 2: That's our pumping system. But our motherboard that is the
- 15:42Speaker 2: electrical component and the the the brains of the operation
- 15:46Speaker 2: is just much like our brain. And so in order
- 15:49Speaker 2: to fuel your brain, you really do need to think
- 15:52Speaker 2: about how you hydrate and how you nourish your body.
- 15:56Speaker 2: So again, I think it is a great way. It's September.
- 16:00Speaker 2: It's mental health awareness month, suicide prevention. Take a look
- 16:04Speaker 2: at the challenge. There is a 75 day hard challenge.
- 16:08Speaker 2: There is a 75 day soft. The soft may be
- 16:11Speaker 2: the first place to start. And I had a patient
- 16:13Speaker 2: today and she really has come so far and she's
- 16:17Speaker 2: doing really well. And she's tapered down on many of
- 16:19Speaker 2: her medications and was looking to get off. And she goes,
- 16:22Speaker 2: I just wish I could get to the gym. regularly.
- 16:25Speaker 2: And I still can't seem to get that consistency. So
- 16:29Speaker 2: we got onto this 75 day challenge and I said,
- 16:31Speaker 2: why don't you just try it for 30 days? You know,
- 16:34Speaker 2: we don't have to bite off the ocean and better
- 16:37Speaker 2: still give yourself time, do it for a week. And
- 16:41Speaker 2: if you can do it for a week, then go
- 16:43Speaker 2: for two weeks. And if you go for two weeks
- 16:45Speaker 2: and shoot for the month, but y'all have to start somewhere.
- 16:49Speaker 2: And today's the day, you know, today really is the day.
- 16:52Speaker 2: There is so much out there for us to really
- 16:55Speaker 2: work on self-care. And again, if you've got questions, today
- 16:59Speaker 2: is the day to fire them away because there's so
- 17:02Speaker 2: much that I've been seeing and hearing and talking to
- 17:05Speaker 2: with patients, both in office and online. And there's a theme.
- 17:10Speaker 2: The theme is we are overworked, we're overbooked. We don't
- 17:14Speaker 2: take time for self-care. We don't really know how to
- 17:17Speaker 2: structure a commitment. We make every excuse in the book
- 17:22Speaker 2: to find reasons why we can't do something or we
- 17:25Speaker 2: put it off. Not today. And I challenge you, you know,
- 17:29Speaker 2: what do you want to do more of? What do
- 17:31Speaker 2: you want to do less of? You know, and, and
- 17:35Speaker 2: to the part of, you know, what we've been talking
- 17:37Speaker 2: about the last few weeks, we have the gift of
- 17:40Speaker 2: our bodies, our health. We have the gift of life.
- 17:43Speaker 2: We also have the gift of freedom. We are rolling
- 17:47Speaker 2: into labor day this weekend. What, what a timely place
- 17:50Speaker 2: to talk about all this. And, as we have all
- 17:54Speaker 2: these freedoms and we've had many freedoms taken away during
- 17:57Speaker 2: the pandemic, you know, and part of what Dr. Braun
- 18:00Speaker 2: and I were talking about in terms of questioning and asking,
- 18:04Speaker 2: make your world more suitable to you, make your world intentional,
- 18:10Speaker 2: make your day to day, the circle of you, the
- 18:12Speaker 2: circle of your influence, make it more of what you
- 18:17Speaker 2: enjoy and love now, granted. And yeah, I think there's
- 18:22Speaker 2: a part of truth to that. Beth, Beth shares that,
- 18:25Speaker 2: you know, there's not much that can change if we
- 18:27Speaker 2: want to pay our bills. Work is inevitable, right? But
- 18:30Speaker 2: I also will tell patients work to me has always been,
- 18:35Speaker 2: it's a means to my end. My end is not
- 18:39Speaker 2: work like this. This is a podcast. I do this podcast.
- 18:43Speaker 2: I create this podcast. I pay for this podcast. Um,
- 18:47Speaker 2: I work so I can do things like this to
- 18:50Speaker 2: be a voice, to share what I've learned, what I
- 18:54Speaker 2: want to hopefully pass on as success for you to
- 18:57Speaker 2: be healthy, to clear your mind. But not, I mean,
- 19:01Speaker 2: you can't work 24-7. Some people do try. And yes,
- 19:05Speaker 2: it is a tough world. There's people that are struggling, many,
- 19:08Speaker 2: you know, with paying bills. But there has to be
- 19:11Speaker 2: a point of three things, okay? You have to rest,
- 19:15Speaker 2: which is sleep. You have to fuel your body so
- 19:19Speaker 2: that you can perform work and so you can be
- 19:22Speaker 2: healthy so you don't get ill or sick or need
- 19:25Speaker 2: to go to the doctor without a good reason. And
- 19:28Speaker 2: you have to fuel your body and move your body.
- 19:33Speaker 2: And so with your sleep, your nutrition and hydration and
- 19:36Speaker 2: your movement, that should give you a place to work
- 19:41Speaker 2: on self-care. And self-care is meant to be activity, but
- 19:45Speaker 2: it's also meant to be relaxation. And so when in
- 19:49Speaker 2: 24 hours, a day after you sleep and work maybe
- 19:53Speaker 2: the only thing you have is 15 to 30 minutes
- 19:56Speaker 2: a day you get to choose between doing some activity
- 20:00Speaker 2: to stretch your body one day and then the other
- 20:02Speaker 2: 15 to 30 minutes the next day take a hot
- 20:05Speaker 2: bath you know and in all the things that that
- 20:09Speaker 2: I would suggest and recommend, you know, a lot of
- 20:12Speaker 2: this can be done on a super low budget on
- 20:15Speaker 2: a shoestring. And some of it doesn't cost money. You know,
- 20:19Speaker 2: when you think about folks that are in situations where
- 20:22Speaker 2: they really don't have, let's just say space or activities
- 20:26Speaker 2: are much to do. I think about people that are
- 20:28Speaker 2: on like a military ship or people that are in prison,
- 20:31Speaker 2: people that are limited with funds and means and finances.
- 20:36Speaker 2: They live in a one room studio. You can still
- 20:39Speaker 2: eat well. You can utilize protein. Protein powder is inexpensive
- 20:44Speaker 2: compared to buying steak. You can do stretching and exercising
- 20:49Speaker 2: and you can do physical movement in place, even in
- 20:51Speaker 2: a space that's only, you know, five by five. So
- 20:55Speaker 2: you can do physical movement. You can nourish your body.
- 20:59Speaker 2: And no matter how big or small your, you know,
- 21:02Speaker 2: your safe place is or your he, your man or
- 21:05Speaker 2: your she cave, you can do some sort of movement
- 21:08Speaker 2: and stretching. When I'm at work in the office, I
- 21:12Speaker 2: have this great little office with a beautiful window and
- 21:14Speaker 2: it overlooks one of those man-made water retention ponds and
- 21:18Speaker 2: there's lots of wildlife. But in between seeing patients, I
- 21:21Speaker 2: will get out of my chair and I'll go lay
- 21:23Speaker 2: down and stretch on the floor and stretch my back
- 21:25Speaker 2: and stretch. And just the release of laying on the
- 21:28Speaker 2: floor and stretching your body can be very helpful. It
- 21:31Speaker 2: releases endorphins, it elongates your body. So when we compress
- 21:36Speaker 2: and our spine and everything is kind of tucked in,
- 21:39Speaker 2: it allows you to really relax and release. So that's
- 21:42Speaker 2: really important. And that is one of the challenges of
- 21:47Speaker 2: today that we've kind of fallen into is the cost
- 21:50Speaker 2: and the expenses of things. So I guess for the
- 21:54Speaker 2: finance side, I would pass that on to some of
- 21:57Speaker 2: our financial experts and those that are helping us to
- 22:01Speaker 2: find ways to save money and to be creative with
- 22:04Speaker 2: spending and do some things even to pay down debt.
- 22:08Speaker 2: I will often listen to Dave Ramsey. He's got a
- 22:11Speaker 2: great podcast and he's on SiriusXM and he's on the radio.
- 22:16Speaker 2: He's got a website. He's got a lot of great stuff.
- 22:18Speaker 2: I've utilized some of his stuff to even help myself
- 22:21Speaker 2: a few years back. But for your mental wellness and fitness,
- 22:26Speaker 2: you really need to do some inventory. We've talked before
- 22:29Speaker 2: about lots of great ways to get some ideas. Mel
- 22:34Speaker 2: Robbins even has a great podcast and her book, Let Them.
- 22:38Speaker 2: The goal is to let what others believe and feel
- 22:42Speaker 2: influence you less. You come first. Have you ever stopped
- 22:46Speaker 2: to think about that? How many people are you pleasing
- 22:49Speaker 2: in a day? Have you ever stopped to do anything
- 22:51Speaker 2: that is beneficial to you first? Or are you always
- 22:55Speaker 2: taking care of other people? That's the other challenge I
- 22:59Speaker 2: get from people. They come to me mentally and physically
- 23:02Speaker 2: exhausted because they haven't taken time for themselves. And, you know,
- 23:07Speaker 2: it's so true. And if you listen to some of our,
- 23:09Speaker 2: our older podcasts, you know, a lot of this has
- 23:13Speaker 2: remnants of similar things that I, I try to reiterate
- 23:17Speaker 2: over and over because the consistency is key. Just like
- 23:22Speaker 2: if you were on a plane, you've got to put
- 23:24Speaker 2: the oxygen mask on yourself first. Why is it we
- 23:27Speaker 2: don't wake up every day, put some oxygen on, drink
- 23:29Speaker 2: some water, go walk or stretch or do our workout
- 23:33Speaker 2: and then start our day and go to work and
- 23:35Speaker 2: take care of the kids and everything else that you
- 23:37Speaker 2: have to do. You know, I have a patient that
- 23:40Speaker 2: is so balled up with stress. Maybe this applies to
- 23:43Speaker 2: some of you just balled up with stress. She is
- 23:46Speaker 2: a benefit. She does not need to work outside the home.
- 23:52Speaker 2: She's got a property with some land and she's got
- 23:54Speaker 2: some horses and She has found her way into such
- 23:57Speaker 2: a stressful place in her life. She had been often
- 24:01Speaker 2: on different medications. Some of them were very habit forming.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Now she's trying to wean off of those and her
- 24:07Speaker 2: anxiety is off the chain. Now a family member is ill.
- 24:11Speaker 2: The illness and probably the end of life stage of
- 24:16Speaker 2: her in-law has come upon her to be the person
- 24:20Speaker 2: to help take care of her. And she's just overwrought.
- 24:23Speaker 2: How can you care for someone else when you've gotten
- 24:26Speaker 2: yourself into such a state? So that's where I come in.
- 24:30Speaker 2: So I try to give her some ways to ground.
- 24:31Speaker 2: I try to give her some ways to change medications
- 24:34Speaker 2: that aren't habit forming. And what do you think we
- 24:37Speaker 2: go back to? How to get some good rest, how
- 24:39Speaker 2: to fuel your body, how to get some good stretching
- 24:42Speaker 2: and exercises in, but how to build in some self-care.
- 24:45Speaker 2: And I get it. You know, how many of you
- 24:49Speaker 2: have more than 15 minutes a day just to sit down? Okay.
- 24:53Speaker 2: It could be that bad. Start there. Start there. Start
- 24:57Speaker 2: with the first 15 minutes and then find a day
- 25:00Speaker 2: where that you perhaps are just sitting on the sofa
- 25:02Speaker 2: and you're not doing anything. That could be restful. That
- 25:06Speaker 2: could be somewhat of self-care. But instead of sitting on
- 25:09Speaker 2: the sofa, maybe get on the floor and do some stretches.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Maybe change the channel to something that's going to provide
- 25:15Speaker 2: you helpful tips and advice versus an old movie. And
- 25:20Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. Old movies are great. With an
- 25:22Speaker 2: old movie, you can certainly enjoy, relax, reminisce, and even
- 25:28Speaker 2: just lose yourself in your thoughts. Don't think about work
- 25:31Speaker 2: or the kids. But you need to mix it up
- 25:34Speaker 2: and you also need to be, and I told you
- 25:36Speaker 2: this just a few moments ago, intentional. How many of
- 25:39Speaker 2: you out there are intentional? Do you know how to
- 25:42Speaker 2: become intentional? And just like putting off exercise, one of
- 25:46Speaker 2: the ways that I've shared before that And I take
- 25:49Speaker 2: this from someone else who's a motivational speaker and I
- 25:53Speaker 2: kind of got it from someone who found it. So
- 25:55Speaker 2: I don't really know which one, but don't put off
- 25:59Speaker 2: what you need to do today, like a workout. Do
- 26:02Speaker 2: what you said you're going to do today and tell yourself,
- 26:06Speaker 2: tomorrow I'll give myself a break and I won't work out.
- 26:08Speaker 2: I'll give myself the day off. Now, while tomorrow comes
- 26:11Speaker 2: and you can give yourself the day off, but if
- 26:14Speaker 2: you're really wanting to be motivated and intentional, then you
- 26:19Speaker 2: need to use that as a tool to keep you going,
- 26:23Speaker 2: you know? And that's kind of what I did when
- 26:25Speaker 2: I started the 75 day challenge in August. I said,
- 26:29Speaker 2: I'm just going to work out today. I'm going to
- 26:31Speaker 2: get my indoor workout done. I'm going to get my
- 26:33Speaker 2: outdoor workout done. I'm going to read. I'm going to
- 26:36Speaker 2: abstain from alcohol, hydrate. I'm going to do really well
- 26:39Speaker 2: with my nutrition and I'm going to rest. And I'm
- 26:42Speaker 2: going to take some notes in my journal. And I
- 26:45Speaker 2: took it each day, each day, each day. And I
- 26:48Speaker 2: really didn't start counting the days until I was feeling
- 26:51Speaker 2: like I had at least 10 or 12 under my belt.
- 26:53Speaker 2: And I went, Ooh, I'm getting close to 15 days.
- 26:57Speaker 2: So we have to do things that I call them self-care,
- 27:02Speaker 2: but their self-care kind of cheats or lies to yourself
- 27:05Speaker 2: to get you to a place where you're consistent to
- 27:08Speaker 2: where you become intentional. And, you know, we, we can
- 27:12Speaker 2: kind of go through all different aspects of this, you know,
- 27:15Speaker 2: When it comes to, well, you know, I have somebody today.
- 27:20Speaker 2: If I have one person, I must have a hundred.
- 27:23Speaker 2: And I bet you there's some of you out there
- 27:25Speaker 2: that say, I just need a stimulant. I have a
- 27:28Speaker 2: lady who's nearly 63. She is really overweight. We call
- 27:34Speaker 2: it morbidly obese. She has diabetes. She's bipolar. She's well-managed.
- 27:39Speaker 2: She just survived breast cancer. She has a lot of
- 27:42Speaker 2: things going for her, right? A lot of reasons to
- 27:44Speaker 2: be alive. And she just celebrated the birth of her
- 27:47Speaker 2: first grandchild. But today she's at wit's end because she
- 27:50Speaker 2: hasn't been intentional. She hasn't been consistent. Oh, and she
- 27:54Speaker 2: had bilateral knee surgery this year too. So the woman
- 27:58Speaker 2: has really undergone a lot, but she doesn't like her
- 28:00Speaker 2: weight and she doesn't like the fact she's tired. So
- 28:03Speaker 2: her idea was, what if you put me on Adderall?
- 28:07Speaker 2: I'm not that kind of provider. I'll tell you why.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Anything that you do that's going to give you a
- 28:12Speaker 2: short-term fix is going to be just that. And it
- 28:15Speaker 2: may not be healthy and it might even be downright,
- 28:18Speaker 2: you know, hurtful. So without deflating her, I said, you know,
- 28:22Speaker 2: let's give this a minute and let's think about it
- 28:24Speaker 2: and let's come up with something that we can do
- 28:26Speaker 2: that's really going to benefit you. She's already actually on
- 28:29Speaker 2: medications that are just not working for her. You know,
- 28:32Speaker 2: sometimes I will use Wellbutrin to lift moods. And some
- 28:36Speaker 2: of the side effects or you might call them the
- 28:38Speaker 2: side benefits is it does speed up your metabolism. It
- 28:41Speaker 2: does curb your appetite. So you tend not to gravitate
- 28:45Speaker 2: to the junk foods, the sugary foods. It's helpful with
- 28:50Speaker 2: reducing and not having a desire for alcohol too. So
- 28:53Speaker 2: it's used for many reasons. It's also used first line.
- 28:58Speaker 2: When someone's really struggling with attention and focus, you know,
- 29:01Speaker 2: you can get enough of Wellbutrin that can actually really
- 29:03Speaker 2: help you feel lifted and focused. And I would prefer
- 29:07Speaker 2: using that over a stimulant any day because of what
- 29:10Speaker 2: the stimulants do to your heart, your kidneys, and just
- 29:14Speaker 2: a little public service announcement because the ladies, I'm sure
- 29:17Speaker 2: you're probably interested to know, but if you're on a stimulant,
- 29:20Speaker 2: it robs your body of biotin and collagen. So if
- 29:24Speaker 2: you hit 40 or 45 or 50 and you're on
- 29:26Speaker 2: a stimulant, You're going to be starting to see some
- 29:30Speaker 2: wrinkles a little faster than your friends because that's what
- 29:33Speaker 2: stimulants do. It's just how it works. So this gal
- 29:37Speaker 2: that I was talking to that's 63, I said, you know,
- 29:39Speaker 2: you've got a lot of metabolic issues, you know, the
- 29:41Speaker 2: diabetes and the bipolar, all that stuff. The recent treatment
- 29:46Speaker 2: of breast cancer, immobility from bilateral knee surgery. But I said,
- 29:52Speaker 2: let's just take an approach to this. So she's going
- 29:55Speaker 2: to work with me. We're going to talk again next week.
- 29:58Speaker 2: She also, if you've not already guessed, she was on Wegovy,
- 30:04Speaker 2: but then all this stuff happened and she lost a
- 30:06Speaker 2: lot of weight. Well, it came back because she had
- 30:09Speaker 2: taken the precedence of, you know, getting cancer treatments. And
- 30:12Speaker 2: so she got off of everything. So they tried her
- 30:15Speaker 2: on the next one. What was the first one she
- 30:18Speaker 2: was on? She was on, I guess the first one
- 30:21Speaker 2: she was on was the GLP-1. Now she's on a
- 30:25Speaker 2: GLP-2 with the Wegovy, the Tears Epitide. And she's not
- 30:29Speaker 2: losing weight. She feels like she's gained weight. So see,
- 30:32Speaker 2: these pills, these treatments, these injections, they're not a solution.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Can they be used? Yes. Can they be used correctly
- 30:39Speaker 2: for a short period of time to improve habit and behavior? Sure.
- 30:43Speaker 2: But if we don't change lifestyle, if we don't change consistency,
- 30:48Speaker 2: and if we don't change our intentions, you know, there's
- 30:51Speaker 2: no quick way to maintain a good, healthy body weight.
- 30:54Speaker 2: You've got to be consistent. So That's just an example. And,
- 30:59Speaker 2: you know, you all may have examples of your own,
- 31:01Speaker 2: but we need to start with, you know, coming up
- 31:05Speaker 2: with what are your goals? Make no more than two
- 31:07Speaker 2: or three goals. And then how consistent are you going
- 31:10Speaker 2: to be with them? And let's just say, let's go
- 31:12Speaker 2: past the goals. Maybe there's things that are happening in
- 31:15Speaker 2: your life. And, you know, this is kind of what
- 31:17Speaker 2: we're here for in terms of, you know, overwhelming stress.
- 31:21Speaker 2: You're upset. You're having physical symptoms. We call it physiological symptoms.
- 31:26Speaker 2: that result from anxiety, from depression, no matter how severe,
- 31:31Speaker 2: maybe you've had trauma in your life, okay? And if
- 31:36Speaker 2: like you haven't heard, let me share with this before
- 31:39Speaker 2: to you, but like reading the book, The Body Keeps
- 31:41Speaker 2: Score or getting it on Audible, when you undergo so
- 31:44Speaker 2: much challenge and tragedy and really tough things, either from
- 31:49Speaker 2: childhood or even as an adult, we have a way
- 31:52Speaker 2: of managing it. Your body wants to keep that body
- 31:54Speaker 2: in a steady state. And so in doing so, other
- 31:58Speaker 2: physical symptoms manifest. You can have heartburn, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea,
- 32:04Speaker 2: nonspecific pain in places. Sometimes it manifests as neuropathy. Sometimes
- 32:10Speaker 2: it manifests as shoulder or lower back pain or hip pain.
- 32:14Speaker 2: It's trauma. A lot of it can be trauma. If
- 32:17Speaker 2: you've got past really big hurts and challenges or you've
- 32:20Speaker 2: repressed things, if you've been through several relationships, all those things,
- 32:25Speaker 2: Nothing goes without some sort of damage to the body. Okay.
- 32:30Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. And while we talk about that,
- 32:33Speaker 2: you know, we can safely use short-term medication, but I
- 32:39Speaker 2: will also tell you if any good provider should, the
- 32:43Speaker 2: discovery and the advent of psychiatry was listening and learning
- 32:48Speaker 2: the human behavior and taking an active approach to changes
- 32:54Speaker 2: in the person's bio-psycho-social role in their life, meaning we
- 33:01Speaker 2: do biological things to improve behavior. With that, medication is secondary.
- 33:09Speaker 2: So for people that just take meds to feel better,
- 33:13Speaker 2: and there are meds that will help you feel better.
- 33:16Speaker 2: How long do you want to be on them? And
- 33:18Speaker 2: how long are you going to use those as a band-aid?
- 33:21Speaker 2: Because meds are not meant to be used independent in psychiatry.
- 33:25Speaker 2: We're just speaking psychiatry. But meds are not meant to
- 33:29Speaker 2: be used independently of some type of behavioral treatment. You know,
- 33:33Speaker 2: we've got cognitive behavioral treatment. We've got dialectical behavioral treatment.
- 33:39Speaker 2: We've got exposure therapy treatment. We've talk therapy. We've got EMDR.
- 33:46Speaker 2: We've got TMS. That's a lot of the work I
- 33:49Speaker 2: do with transcranial magnetic therapy. And that stuff, I will
- 33:52Speaker 2: tell you, Find a provider in your area. If you
- 33:56Speaker 2: really want to get a great workout for your brain
- 33:59Speaker 2: and feel the benefits and feel good and work to
- 34:01Speaker 2: get yourself off of maybe short or long-term medication, TMS
- 34:06Speaker 2: is the way to go. It's a very good, I
- 34:10Speaker 2: call it a holistic approach. You know, it's a magnet.
- 34:14Speaker 2: I think magnetizing types of things are, you know, sort
- 34:20Speaker 2: of organic. But it's not electrical. It's not electric shock therapy.
- 34:26Speaker 2: It doesn't lose memory or depress you. It enhances your
- 34:30Speaker 2: brain to optimize it so that the neurotransmitters fire the
- 34:34Speaker 2: way they're intended. Oftentimes, the neurotransmitters, they disconnect or they
- 34:40Speaker 2: reconnect erratically because of all the patterns and all the
- 34:45Speaker 2: challenges that we've had in our life. So some dampen down,
- 34:48Speaker 2: especially if you're depressed. you've turned down and shut down
- 34:51Speaker 2: a lot of neurotransmitters. If you're anxious or overthinking, you
- 34:55Speaker 2: rev them up because of just, again, the way your
- 34:58Speaker 2: body's wired and you feel like, why, why, what if,
- 35:01Speaker 2: what if, I don't know, I don't know, I don't
- 35:03Speaker 2: want to get it wrong, I don't want to get
- 35:04Speaker 2: it wrong. And we rewire ourselves. And so how do
- 35:08Speaker 2: we fix the rewiring problem? We utilize TMS. I will
- 35:13Speaker 2: definitely do another episode about TMS, but it's about a
- 35:17Speaker 2: six to eight week process It has been out since 1987.
- 35:20Speaker 2: It's used with a helmet, like an MRI on your
- 35:24Speaker 2: head and the best places do it with therapy ongoing.
- 35:28Speaker 2: If you are getting TMS and they stick you in
- 35:31Speaker 2: front of a video, unless the video is providing the
- 35:34Speaker 2: stimulation that you need. Like if you're doing cognitive work,
- 35:38Speaker 2: you should be doing games and puddle puzzles and memory games.
- 35:42Speaker 2: So it might not be a bad idea if they
- 35:44Speaker 2: had a video in front of you to watch jeopardy or, um,
- 35:49Speaker 2: guess the missing word, what letters are missing in the word.
- 35:55Speaker 2: But if you're doing magnetic therapy and you're just sitting
- 35:59Speaker 2: there watching a movie or a show or just a
- 36:03Speaker 2: blank canvas of fish in a tank, you're really not
- 36:07Speaker 2: getting the best treatment. So that's where you can find,
- 36:11Speaker 2: if you're going to do TMS, do it where you've
- 36:13Speaker 2: got someone that is working with you as a technician
- 36:16Speaker 2: to stimulate your brain to work on the areas that
- 36:18Speaker 2: are not as optimal. If you're depressed, you're anxious, if
- 36:22Speaker 2: you've got OCD, if you've got concentration and focus issues,
- 36:28Speaker 2: TMS actually can help as a side benefit. We don't
- 36:31Speaker 2: treat directly, but if you struggle with headaches, insomnia, if
- 36:36Speaker 2: you've got some of that nonspecific pain, and a lot
- 36:39Speaker 2: of this comes from past hurts and traumatic things, TMS
- 36:44Speaker 2: is magnificent for repairing trauma work But as an indirect result,
- 36:49Speaker 2: if you've got any of those physiological symptoms, it can
- 36:52Speaker 2: actually help to ease those symptoms too, indirectly. And I
- 36:56Speaker 2: call it when I talk to patients as a side benefit.
- 36:59Speaker 2: There's lots of stuff out there, you know, and it
- 37:02Speaker 2: just depends. Where are you in your journey? You know,
- 37:07Speaker 2: lots of times each week when we talk, people are
- 37:09Speaker 2: always asking, what's the best, you know, the best fuel
- 37:13Speaker 2: for my body? What things should I be doing? What
- 37:16Speaker 2: things shouldn't I be doing? And it's uniquely created for you.
- 37:21Speaker 2: What I will tell you is it's very important to
- 37:25Speaker 2: focus on you and your inner circle first. I know
- 37:28Speaker 2: when Beth asked about needing to pay bills, that's real.
- 37:31Speaker 2: I get a ton of people that are so overwrought
- 37:35Speaker 2: and so overwhelmed. It's a tough place to live these
- 37:38Speaker 2: days with the economy, but we have to figure a way, right?
- 37:43Speaker 2: It may mean in some situations, how you do ratchet back,
- 37:48Speaker 2: but what steps do you take to get ahead? You know,
- 37:51Speaker 2: there may be areas where you can trim, but you
- 37:55Speaker 2: can't trim your mental wellness. So if you're going to
- 37:59Speaker 2: get out there and work three jobs, if you're going
- 38:01Speaker 2: to get out there and work overtime, if you're going
- 38:04Speaker 2: to get out there and know you have to come
- 38:05Speaker 2: home to take care of kids and a family, please, please,
- 38:09Speaker 2: please carve out 15 to 30 minutes a day to
- 38:11Speaker 2: fit in what you can from some journaling, some breathing,
- 38:18Speaker 2: some stretching and a hot shower. Let's just start there.
- 38:22Speaker 2: While that's not the be all end all, it's a
- 38:27Speaker 2: good place to start. You know, most people don't have
- 38:30Speaker 2: a lot to write or they struggle what to write.
- 38:33Speaker 2: I just want you to write the pluses and minuses
- 38:35Speaker 2: of the day and write down stuff you struggle with
- 38:39Speaker 2: and write down good things that are happening with a
- 38:42Speaker 2: goal forward. Write down a goal. Today, I'm going to
- 38:45Speaker 2: start my workout. Tomorrow, I'm going to get it done.
- 38:49Speaker 2: And I'm also going to start increasing protein in my diet. Tomorrow,
- 38:54Speaker 2: I'm going to get up an extra 10 minutes early
- 38:56Speaker 2: so I get to work on time versus being 10
- 38:59Speaker 2: minutes late. What are your goals, right? What things is
- 39:04Speaker 2: it that you might be looking for? And it's unique
- 39:07Speaker 2: to you. You know, now, as far as the world
- 39:10Speaker 2: as a whole, if you find that it is becoming overwhelming,
- 39:15Speaker 2: and you become stressed and worried and fearful, almost even paralyzed,
- 39:19Speaker 2: you do really need to limit your social media. You
- 39:22Speaker 2: do need to limit your time of contemplating what we're
- 39:26Speaker 2: going to do with some of the things that you
- 39:29Speaker 2: and I both have no control over. I'm not saying
- 39:32Speaker 2: stick your head in the sand, but focus on you
- 39:34Speaker 2: first and then allow the information of the day to
- 39:38Speaker 2: come in after you've taken care of you. And then
- 39:42Speaker 2: you've taken care of the people important around you. Then
- 39:45Speaker 2: learn about what's going on and then decide, you know,
- 39:49Speaker 2: Where can you make a difference? And in those cases,
- 39:52Speaker 2: I don't want people to hide or withdraw from the
- 39:55Speaker 2: important things we have to do in a free country.
- 39:59Speaker 2: It's important to get out and vote. It's important to
- 40:01Speaker 2: know who your elected officials are. It's important to reach
- 40:04Speaker 2: out to your elected officials. That's our civil duty. But
- 40:08Speaker 2: if you are becoming to the point that you're so
- 40:10Speaker 2: anxious and you're sad and you don't want to do
- 40:12Speaker 2: things and you're not caring for yourself, we've got to
- 40:15Speaker 2: do a tune up on you. And after we do
- 40:17Speaker 2: the tune up on you, then you can take care
- 40:20Speaker 2: of the others around you. Again, I will let you know,
- 40:23Speaker 2: you know, magnoliabewellness.com. We can provide resources to you here
- 40:29Speaker 2: and across the country. If you need someone in your
- 40:32Speaker 2: local area, we also have a dropdown. So many of
- 40:36Speaker 2: the different things that I talk about in terms of
- 40:38Speaker 2: supplements and nutrition, you can get through there. We provide
- 40:41Speaker 2: you a 20% discount, but there's lots of things that
- 40:45Speaker 2: we can help you with. We are headed to share
- 40:49Speaker 2: our voices September 28th. Part of what I've shared when
- 40:53Speaker 2: I mentioned that Wellness Uncensored came to be, it was
- 40:57Speaker 2: to be a voice for where I was censored back
- 41:00Speaker 2: in the early 2020 and 2021 and 2022 and 2023,
- 41:06Speaker 2: sharing what was really going on during the pandemic. So March,
- 41:09Speaker 2: September 28th, we will be live down in Washington with
- 41:13Speaker 2: Senator Ron Johnson and And there's going to be a
- 41:16Speaker 2: round table discussion. And many folks are coming together to
- 41:19Speaker 2: talk about what went on, what went well, but primarily
- 41:24Speaker 2: what didn't go right. And so hopefully that's going to
- 41:27Speaker 2: be something. It will be televised. I know it will
- 41:29Speaker 2: be on C-SPAN. It will probably be on some other
- 41:31Speaker 2: channels and networks, but save the date. I do not
- 41:35Speaker 2: think it's going to go off. It's supposed to start
- 41:37Speaker 2: at 10 a.m., but apparently there is a group that's
- 41:40Speaker 2: coming in before us of physicians. And that's going to
- 41:43Speaker 2: be first. We will probably be on sometime after 11.
- 41:47Speaker 2: So look for it. I think it's going to be
- 41:49Speaker 2: a great opportunity to see people like you and I
- 41:51Speaker 2: sharing our voices and that people in government are listening.
- 41:55Speaker 2: That's encouraging, you know? And so that's where I say,
- 41:58Speaker 2: do you want to be a voice? Do you want
- 42:00Speaker 2: to have a voice? Do you want to worry about
- 42:01Speaker 2: what's going on in the world? You will get your opportunity.
- 42:04Speaker 2: That's where you do your civic duty and reach out
- 42:07Speaker 2: to your local people that make the rules. Start at
- 42:10Speaker 2: the local level, email, call, send messages. But then when
- 42:15Speaker 2: given the opportunity, share at higher levels as you have
- 42:18Speaker 2: the opportunity. I want to remind you all again, it's
- 42:22Speaker 2: always a pleasure to be here and to help you
- 42:24Speaker 2: with anything mental or physical health and wellness. That's what
- 42:30Speaker 2: we do here at Wellness Uncensored. We're here every Thursday,
