25
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:18.680
Good morning listeners. Can believe we are almost twenty days
26
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.239
into the new year, and I know as the year
27
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:28.000
gets started, whether an entrepreneur, you are a professional, you
28
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.120
are thinking about the performance, you are thinking about your goals.
29
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.000
So the key is.
30
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.760
You are good at your job, you're doing excellent and
31
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.519
while doing that, while you're doing everything right, and then
32
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.760
you still might be feeling exhausted, stuck, or mentally overloaded.
33
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.400
So we don't want that. So today we are going
34
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.799
to be talking about how can we stop that bone out,
35
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.799
how can we keep you charged and reenergized for the
36
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.040
of the year. So welcome trim t.
37
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.280
Thank you so much for having me, Divia, grateful to
38
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:07.640
be here.
39
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.400
Absolutely, it's so fantastic to have you so share with us.
40
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.439
Do you recall a moment or a person that left
41
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.520
a positive mark on you when you were a childer
42
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:21.080
in youth?
43
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.319
Oh? Yes, I'll never forget. You know, it's amazing how
44
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.319
there's just these key core memories that you have and
45
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.240
it was in fifth grade, it was a math teacher,
46
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.879
and I really never felt that confident in math. And
47
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:34.719
I remember there was a little bit of a math
48
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.039
quiz that was going to be that day, specifically, she
49
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.800
was handing out a prize for whoever did well on
50
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.680
the quiz, and I happened to just beyond that day
51
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.719
did well on the quiz, and she looked me in
52
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.159
the eyes, gave me the prize and said, you were
53
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.759
the top score in the class. Keep it up. You've
54
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.960
got such a strong brain. And you know that statement
55
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.919
as you know a young adult. It was so remarkable
56
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.439
because I still remember that moment. I remember thinking, I
57
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.759
have a strong brain, like no one ever said that
58
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.520
to me. And yeah, here I am fifty four years old.
59
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.240
I'm thinking back to that day and how powerful our
60
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.280
words are when we say them, and especially with intense
61
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.520
and with sincere focus to another individual.
62
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:18.439
That is so powerful.
63
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:23.319
And we underestimate the power of teachers in our students' lives.
64
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.159
And I have so many moments that I still recall
65
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:37.840
that they're just such poignant, poignant memories and leave such
66
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.000
a beautiful mark on you. So as you grew did
67
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:42.960
you know that you wanted to go into medicine?
68
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:49.280
Don't know. I actually I appreciated the confidence boosting that
69
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.000
I had the strong brain, and that gave me this
70
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.400
impetus to actually work a little harder because she saw
71
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.759
something in me I didn't see in myself. Right, And
72
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.560
as I got into medical middle school and then high school,
73
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.159
I ended up befriending somebody who would now to this
74
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.159
day be one of my most inspiring friends. Because she
75
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.919
loved learning, she loved She would always be the one
76
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.520
that in the front of the class would say, can
77
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.959
I choose a spot, you know, in one of these
78
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.240
three seats so I could look at the you know,
79
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.319
instructor and ask questions. And I always think, gosh, she
80
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.839
was so hard working and so interested in learning. Let
81
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.279
me kind of work with her and study with her.
82
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.560
And so eventually we both went off for different directions,
83
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.000
and she ended up doing our PhD in neurosciences and
84
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.759
I started actually in the business school at the university,
85
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.959
and I still craved science, and we had kind of
86
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.560
gone different directions. I didn't realize I ended up going
87
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.399
into neurology that she was getting her PhD in neurosciences.
88
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.000
So obviously she had an impact on me. Yet medicine
89
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.279
wasn't the first pursuit of mine. It was actually, you know,
90
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.639
kind of almost a last choice for me, which is
91
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.120
interesting because yeah, you know, they say like there's no
92
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.399
such thing as failure as a feedback, well, I kind
93
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.319
of didn't necessarily fail business school, yet I didn't really
94
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.319
like it. It didn't align with me, and I thought
95
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.920
I was going to love it, and I didn't, And
96
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.040
I said, you know what, I really loved it. I
97
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.040
loved learning about science. And so eventually I transitioned over
98
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.680
from business school to biology and graduated in that field
99
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.240
and then went to medical school. So it was kind
100
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.800
of a path that was, you know, not a straight path.
101
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.279
And who says life is a straight path, right?
102
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.000
It shouldn't be.
103
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:31.279
It shouldn't be. And the beauty of life is that
104
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.319
if you're open and curious and come at it with
105
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.279
awe wonder, you can be surprised. What can you learn
106
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.399
from it? You know, what you can experience. So think
107
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.040
about it if you hadn't taken that chance. And if
108
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.639
you're like, oh, I've already spent my time in business
109
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.199
school and I'm not going to eat you know, I've
110
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.480
wasted these years because I have so many of my
111
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.120
clients whoill come and say that I don't want to
112
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.360
take this action because I don't waste that time. And
113
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.480
as you mentioned, it's not a failure, it's an experience.
114
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:08.000
It's it's a learning and life doesn't come with instruction manual.
115
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.879
Yeah, myself as well, you know, I don't know as well.
116
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.360
Sometimes those experiences allow us to get deeper into our
117
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.519
truth of who we are, which I think is very powerful.
118
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:19.480
M hm.
119
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:23.639
So when you went into medical school, did you ever
120
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:30.079
think that, Oh, I wish I hadn't gone to the
121
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:30.759
business school.
122
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.519
I definitely had some challenges because actually the reason I
123
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.839
wrote my second book, The Stress RX, was because of
124
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.120
my experience in my first year of medical school. My
125
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.399
dad's a physician retired now. I grew up with physicians,
126
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.759
you know, and I was very comfortable with the medical
127
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.000
profession and the fact that that seemed achievable for me
128
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:53.800
simply because I had a lot of role models that
129
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:54.680
were in that profession.
130
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:55.480
Yeah.
131
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.120
Interesting enough, because knock on wood, I'd never really had
132
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:03.240
any medical challenges. I never went to see the physician
133
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.439
unless it was a school form or something that was
134
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.000
a routine exam to do, and I don't think I
135
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.040
really understood what it was like to be a physician
136
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.560
or to be a patient. So I went into it
137
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.639
because I like science. And this is, you know, thirty
138
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.480
years ago. I don't think, you know, look at my
139
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.319
kids now, and I think about your kids now and
140
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.680
everyone else that's listening. These younger adults have so many
141
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.720
unique opportunities that I think are available to them. And
142
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.879
I don't know if we knew at that time that
143
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.879
we had so many opportunities. I almost feel like, especially
144
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.920
as an Indian woman, you know, engineering, business, medicine, there
145
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.399
weren't that many paths that I thought I could take.
146
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:41.279
So I just said, Okay, I don't like business school,
147
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:42.879
let me go to medical school. I went to medical school.
148
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.120
First year of medical school, I started struggling with sleep issues,
149
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.000
very very very severe, very severe, to a point where
150
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.759
I was going to quit. And that's where I thought.
151
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.759
I'd put so much effort with the MCAT exams, with
152
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.040
the applications, with just the incredible academia to get and
153
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.240
test tests that I had to succeed and then pass
154
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.720
and do well in the classes to get into medical school.
155
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.040
I thought, my goodness, if I turn away from this Now,
156
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.519
I had so many friends that wanted to go to
157
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.920
medical school that didn't get in. How could I turn
158
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.759
away from it? It was struggling with sleep and I
159
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.519
think that was my book wake up was, Okay, you're
160
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:22.360
having this condition, you're struggling with symptoms. Maybe there's something
161
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.000
in this path you need to learn. And that's when
162
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.399
I saw the therapist and the therapist asked me if
163
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.240
I was stressed, and I said no. And the reason
164
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.759
I wrote the second book is I realized we really
165
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.480
don't know a lot about stress, and we don't know
166
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.360
enough about how stress impacts our body. And only now
167
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.080
are we starting to dig into this more with understanding
168
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:43.879
mental health and stress in a way that we never
169
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:44.519
have before.
170
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.840
So you talk about the different stress personality types, tell
171
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.039
us a little bit more about it.
172
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.720
Yeah, So this to me was my big ah huh.
173
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.360
You know, when I was a first year medical student
174
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.960
and my dad's a physician. As I mentioned, he did
175
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:04.440
my exam, he examined me, got my labs and he said, Trufty,
176
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.960
you're fine, even though you know you're having sleep issues.
177
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.840
Your exam is fine. Your labs are all coming out
178
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.639
to be fine. There's no blood sugar is sshoes, no
179
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.080
thyroid issues. There's nothing wrong with you, and for anyone listening,
180
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.519
and you know, if you've experienced this yourself, when you're
181
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.480
struggling with something, you actually want to find something you're
182
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.559
looking for some reason, I didn't want to be told
183
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.039
that I was fine. I actually wanted to be told
184
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.720
there was this wrong with me. And yet it wasn't
185
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.000
a concrete medical finding or diagnosis because I was in
186
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.279
that in between world of not physical yet there was
187
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.200
an emotional stress component that couldn't be picked up on
188
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:48.000
a lab exam or by examining the physical body. So
189
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.960
the stress personality has really come out of me discovering
190
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:56.559
myself and realizing that. In Eastern argiapadic medicine, which is
191
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.679
five thousand years old, Iyor means life Inva that means wisdom.
192
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.600
It's the wisdom of your knowing your life and your
193
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:07.000
longevity by knowing who you are and of the arivetic wisdom.
194
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.960
There's these five elements air, space, fire, earth, and water
195
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.159
that make up who we are. And my nature was
196
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.840
being pushed out of alignment and my energy body, which
197
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.320
I know is kind of little woo, my energetic system
198
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.000
was out of alignment and my stress was showing. We
199
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.240
call it the windy personality. I was moving and going
200
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:30.200
and doing too much, thus having promt sleeping and falling asleep.
201
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.080
And once I understood that was what was wrong with me,
202
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.480
I then was able to course correct, change my diet,
203
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.039
change my lifestyle, habits, changed so many things about me,
204
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.960
and within about two months I was sleeping again without medications.
205
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.480
So you're talking about that.
206
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.519
When we talk about different stressed personalities, those are based
207
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.720
off the aerobatic, the five different elements, and then one
208
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:58.200
of the elements is out of balance and then it
209
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.080
manifests or expresses itself in physical symptoms.
210
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.559
Yeah.
211
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.360
So is Mander standing correct?
212
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:05.159
Correct?
213
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:05.480
Yeah?
214
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.679
And I think that's something that if we can start
215
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:12.919
to link a symptom as a suggestion to go in
216
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.919
and to understand which of those five elements is speaking.
217
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:21.080
The body's always communicating with us. And yet what's beautiful
218
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.759
and yet not really utilized, is that we have this
219
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.279
five thousand year old science that actually tells you. It's
220
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.879
like the recipe book of trying to figure out what
221
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.159
is that or the playbook or the manual I should say,
222
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.159
of what does that symptom actually mean, what's the root
223
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.399
of that imbalance coming from? And the challenge of Western
224
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.480
medicine is that we wait for the physical body or
225
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.720
the labs to go out of alignment, and then we
226
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:47.039
diagnose and then we medicate, oftentimes when there's actually a
227
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.639
long window of time where the system is out of alignment,
228
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.279
and if we can capture that. Here, I am fifty
229
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.519
four years old and thankfully sleeping well, I'm on no medications,
230
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.759
and thankfully I discovered this in the early twenties because
231
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.159
now whenever my system goes a little bit out of alignment,
232
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:03.000
I know what to do.
233
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:09.159
So for our audience, how can they get started if
234
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.000
you can share some basics?
235
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:11.639
Sure?
236
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.080
So stepone, I do think it's helpful to know what
237
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.799
is your stressed personality. I often start with what is
238
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.960
your imbalance? So then we can bring you back into balance.
239
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.519
And so you know, have this quiz on my website
