This is beyond confidence and now here's your host, div Park.

23
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:16.599
Good morning listeners, It's Tuesday morning and it's amazing to

24
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:21.599
be with you. So excited to share my new book,

25
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.120
The AI Agency is being received really well and I've

26
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.120
had some really great success stories with it. My client's

27
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.719
getting a job, getting a promotion by using the strategy.

28
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:38.840
So in today's world, where layoffs are happening, where AI

29
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.840
is coming over here, it's important that you get ready.

30
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.680
And this is what the book does for you.

31
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.040
The book gets you ready for not only today but

32
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.079
the next era where AI is going to be around.

33
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.400
So let's bring in our guest justin.

34
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.400
Welcome, justin thank you. Appreciate you having me, Deba.

35
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.680
Absolutely, it's a pleasure to have you. So we start

36
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.760
out with either your childhood or youth. Do you recaller

37
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.520
a moment or a person that left to post to

38
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:10.080
mark on you?

39
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.879
Oh? Yes, multiple. I'm very blessed to have some very

40
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.840
influential men and women in my life that helped me

41
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.159
become the person I am.

42
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:26.080
Today, and any memories from.

43
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:32.120
That, yeah, plenty. But to be quite honest with you.

44
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.000
I don't share my personal life, so I'm not comfortable

45
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:35.599
talking about that.

46
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.360
It's absolutely fine.

47
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.159
So you talk a lot about stress, and you talk

48
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.080
a lot about anxiety. So tell us you know so

49
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.520
many times you know there is this perception out there

50
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.599
that you stress, which is like a good stress, and

51
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:52.840
then there is the bead stress.

52
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.280
So can you share.

53
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.240
With us the difference between the good stress, bad stress,

54
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:57.960
and anxiety.

55
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.800
I don't really think there is a good stress, to

56
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.479
be quite honest. From my perspective. Stress is something that

57
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:12.199
happens externally and you respond physically to it. So stress

58
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:17.599
is an outside influence. Anxiety is actually your body thinking

59
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.879
you're still in danger from that stress, and it just

60
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.960
keeps playing over and over and over again, and that

61
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.360
anxiety builds and builds and bills, which has an actual

62
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:30.080
physiological response in your body. The great example is I'm stressed.

63
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.000
I have a presentation tomorrow, but my anxiety goes up

64
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.479
because I think about it all lighte. I keep thinking

65
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.199
about it, keep thinking about it, thinking about it, and

66
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:41.400
it just causes all kinds of physiological reactions inside my

67
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.759
body that are not inherently good for the for me

68
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.919
in the long term, and so what's happened in the

69
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:54.360
world is those external stress stressors have just basically multiplied

70
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.719
and multiplied and multiplied and multiplied, and so we're in

71
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:01.719
a constant state of elevated stress and anxiety with cortisol,

72
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.439
and that has got a significant implication to our.

73
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.599
Health, absolutely, and the mental well being.

74
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.959
Has been in focus for quite a few years now,

75
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.079
and people are paying attention to it because beforehand, like

76
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.839
you know, if you would say that, oh, I'm feeling

77
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.120
stressed or I'm not able to do this, it was

78
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.720
looked down upon, and even now there is still quite

79
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.360
a bit of stigma attached to it. So as our

80
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.800
audience is listening into it, what would you say, like, Okay,

81
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.360
now people are aware, what's the difference between stress, you know,

82
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.000
whether they're experiencing stress or anxiety, what would be the

83
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.959
next step they could take in terms.

84
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.720
Of mitigating that. Well, I think the first thing is

85
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.000
understanding the cause and effect of what is actually happening

86
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.199
in your body and what practices that you are basically

87
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.920
deploying every day that is causing this to be amplified.

88
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.879
And I think it helps to take a big step

89
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.800
back and go what's the cause and effect and the

90
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.399
cause effect of stress on the body is very linear

91
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.879
and it makes a lot of sense. You should have

92
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.759
a natural circadian rhythm, a natural cycle, and that sarcadian

93
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.959
rhythm is in sync with the day and the night

94
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.279
and your sleep wake cycles. Ideally, you should have high

95
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.279
levels of quarters on the morning that helps wake you

96
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.600
up from your sleep. It gets elevated very quickly. It

97
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.199
peeks out around a midday, mid afternoon, but then should

98
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.600
start declining. It should be coming down towards the middle

99
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.680
of the afternoon, late afternoon, and early evening, and by

100
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.079
the time you're ready for bed, it should be at

101
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.920
an all time love. It then hands off to melatonin.

102
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.439
If they were in a baton race. Basically, causo comes down,

103
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.800
melatonin takes over, It prepares you for sleep, and ultimately

104
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.319
you fall asleep and you stay asleep for seven to

105
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.839
eight hours. It's very important to understand that that is

106
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.920
very very important for your health and your well being,

107
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.480
because in order for your body to make the right

108
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.480
amount of hormones for the following day, you need seven

109
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.519
to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. If you don't, because

110
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.800
you have monkey mind, you can't stop thinking. You're stressed

111
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.199
about presentations and your anxiety is elevating and you can't

112
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.920
fall asleep. What that actually does is prevent your body

113
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.480
from naturally developing the hormones that you need to function

114
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.920
the next day. Too many consecutive nights of poor sleep

115
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.399
and the incorrect duration of sleep, and your health starts

116
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:43.360
to unrawl. That's the basic science, in very simplistic terms,

117
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.759
is in terms of what's happening to your body when

118
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.439
you are stressed, you have high levels anxiety, your cortisols

119
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.480
not under control, and you're unable to get to sleep.

120
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.160
Sleep is the most important part of our day because

121
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.639
that's when we are able to regenerate and rebuild in

122
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.000
order to to be our very best the following day.

123
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.879
And if we don't and we've compromised that, we start

124
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.879
showing up less and less like our true selves. We're grumpy,

125
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.639
we're irritable, we start gaining weight, we don't exercy, all

126
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.279
kinds of things start to unravel. And what's happened is,

127
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.560
over the past thirty years, we've begun to rewire our

128
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.040
brains thinking that this is the new normal, and unfortunately

129
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.680
it is not normal whatsoever. So to answer your question,

130
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:35.879
once you understand that process to fix it is about awareness. Okay,

131
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.639
I need to start prioritizing sleep. I need to start

132
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.399
turning off my notifications. I need to not worry about

133
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.839
a being or a vibration or an email that comes in,

134
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.399
and then I have to get to it. We have

135
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.000
to start putting boundaries up around our world and understand

136
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.079
when private time is private for us, when we have worktime,

137
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.319
we can do these things. But understand that notifications and

138
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.279
the message and the way that we get content in

139
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:07.319
the modern world is unprecedented in terms of history. Looking

140
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.600
back at history, we used to have a few channels.

141
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.959
We used to have limited content availability. We didn't used

142
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:20.519
to have every music, every song, every production, every movie

143
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.600
at our fingertips, and so we were getting content at

144
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.399
a much slower rate. Today it's unlimited, and that causes

145
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.519
us to stay on edge because we're acting like machines

146
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.960
and we are certainly not machines. We've lost our humanness

147
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.360
as we've evolved technology and we're trying to become computers

148
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.200
and we simply are not. We never will. Yeah.

149
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.399
Now you bring up a very very good point that

150
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.799
in the past thirty years, the digital stimulation and just

151
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.639
the amount of information our brain is receiving is tremendous.

152
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:59.080
And so also before you know, people would work on

153
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:06.159
a single task, and now multitasking has become not only acceptable,

154
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.039
but multitasking has become the way to go.

155
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.639
But it does impact focus. What are your thoughts on it?

156
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.879
Yeah, I would agree if you are single task orientated,

157
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:23.159
you definitely have more resources and availability to complete that task,

158
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.600
and typically in a more efficient and better way. I'm

159
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.720
not necessarily against multitasking. There's many people that can do

160
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.799
it very very well. But I think it's the more

161
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.000
along the lines of people are being forced to multitask

162
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.639
because they have so much to accomplish in a short

163
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.840
window of time, and when they don't get it accomplished

164
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.320
or the tasks aren't completed as well as they possibly could,

165
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.080
that then adds additional stresses because you're talking about quality,

166
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.720
you're talking about efficiency and job security in many places,

167
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.720
and so you really end up compounding the stressors on

168
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.960
you simply because of the quantity of work that we

169
00:09:59.080 --> 00:09:59.559
have to do.

170
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.159
Mm hmm, yeah, no, definitely that makes sense.

171
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.759
And you also talk about Joe moo versus formal, So

172
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.879
what's the science behind that.

173
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:19.840
Well again, there's jomo is a constant enjoyment of you know,

174
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.360
the joy of missing out. Jomo is where we find

175
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:27.679
peace in being in the present. Fomo is the fear

176
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:33.279
of missing out, and that is essentially what social media promotes,

177
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.440
because you're always thinking, well, it's someone else is having

178
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.080
a bit more fun than me, or someone else is

179
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.679
going on this trip. And we used to compare ourselves

180
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.919
to a few people. It's the natural human thing to

181
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.720
do is compare and contrast. Now you're comparing yourself to thousands,

182
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.120
if not millions of people, and what they're putting up

183
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:53.159
online are literally thousands of moments compressed into a single

184
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.759
you know, posting that highlights the very best and often

185
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.879
isn't authentic. It's purely people are showing you what they

186
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.240
want to show you. Influences are trying to persuade you

187
00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:09.480
into a certain direction, opinion, event, acquisition, whatever it might be.

188
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.120
And so what's happening is our brains are constantly in

189
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.799
that fomo space. I'm missing out if I don't catch

190
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.840
up on my friend's feeds or the I'm not following

191
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.639
this person, I'm not looking at that, and that basically

192
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.960
perpetuates the anxiety and the stress and prevents us from

193
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.519
getting into a relaxed state of rest and digest and

194
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:37.600
being in a very easy, peaceful environment. Whereas Joma, the

195
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.399
joy of missing out is being okay with missing out,

196
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.399
being okay with saying I don't want to attend that,

197
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:45.759
or I'm not going to go to that, I'm not

198
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.159
going to watch that, be okay with being in the moment.

199
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.960
And that is a big, big point because we don't

200
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.240
always live in the moment, in the present, in the

201
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.759
very essence of what we're doing at this very second,

202
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.759
as opposed to what are they doing? What am I

203
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.960
missing out on? What could I be doing? And that

204
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.720
it goes against our natural biology and puts us in

205
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:09.919
this alerted state.

206
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:22.440
Absolutely, So, justin you have mentioned that become aware, create boundaries, Yeah,

207
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.559
claim your priorities.

208
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.440
Absolutely, and be in the moment.

209
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.360
And yet so many times that where we know most

210
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.720
of the people know what they're supposed to do, oh

211
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:36.200
for sure, studies that show only ninety two percent of

212
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.960
people are able to achieve their goals the newest resolution.

213
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.440
So between all of these, what else could they do

214
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.879
to create and sustain that habit?

215
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.799
Look, I mean it's no different than exercise and nutrition.

216
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.720
We all know that if you consume less calories then

217
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.240
you burn, you'll be fine, and you consume more, you're

218
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.240
going to potentially gain weight unless you're on a very

219
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.320
particular athletic type diet right and you're trying to consume

220
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.320
more calories for a reason. It's the same with exercise.

221
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.679
We know we all should but not everyone does right,

222
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:21.320
And so it really comes down to hopefully understanding the

223
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.440
cause and effect and trying to make a difference, literally

224
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.159
consciously trying to make a difference. We can't force people

225
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.159
to do it, but we can explain the science, we

226
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.320
can explain the rationale, we can explain how we have

227
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.320
got to the position that we're in today. How do

228
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.080
you make people do it? You can't, but hopefully people

229
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.039
want to and they're getting I think the general public

230
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.360
is now getting to the point where they're getting fed up, frustrated,

231
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.159
and they don't want to take any more of this.

232
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.000
They don't want to continue living like this, and especially

233
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.360
here in America. The analogy I can say is, you know,

234
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.639
in the seventies and eighties, you were at work, you

235
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:02.519
were at work, and when you left work, for the

236
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:06.399
most part you left work, you were unreachable, You didn't

237
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:12.080
have the office in your pocket, whereas today that office

238
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:19.840
comes with you and employees respond to employers out of stress, anxiety,

239
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.879
and fear of not being a top performer or not

240
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.639
doing their job or potentially being fired. And so those

241
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.159
boundaries of the seventies and eighties where we left work

242
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:33.799
and we were unreachable are completely blurred and don't exist today.

243
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:38.320
People respond to emails and texts and voice messages literally

244
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:43.159
twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Employees

245
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.600
and employers need to start putting boundaries around for the

246
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:51.120
mental health and the physical health of everyone involved. There

247
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:53.960
needs to be downtime. There needs to be regeneration. There

248
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.840
needs to be time when you can regenerate so that

249
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.879
you can actually show up at work at your very

250
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:04.039
very very best. But if we don't, we're actually operating

251
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.759
at a deficit, and that deficit has a.

252
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.840
Cost to it, absolutely And then that's the key thing

253
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.200
to know that if you are continuing to make the

254
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.120
choices that you're doing that there are consequences to it.

255
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.039
Absolutely well, if you're.

256
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.519
Putting it into practice that this is my priority, here's

257
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.919
where I'm going to draw the line. You're going to

258
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.120
see that in your health and if you're not, you're

259
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:32.159
still going to see it. Now, given all that you

260
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:37.000
have shared some deep insides, do you have any science

261
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:42.840
backed solutions that people can leverage to continue on their

262
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.240
well being journey.

263
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.639
Yes, So we have a company called Rebound Health, and

264
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:53.360
Rebound Health developed products supplements in the form of a

265
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.240
mint something like you would suck on a mint lozenge

266
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:01.840
that helps keep your cords off within rate and they

267
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:06.039
are science backed, and when I mean science backs is

268
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:09.840
authentically We treated the product like it was a pharmaceutical.

269
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:13.399
So we did double blind pacibo irab clinical studies on

270
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.840
our products to see the benefits and there was significant

271
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.360
because what the products do is help calm quarters all

272
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.440
down so you can operate in a more normal human

273
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.960
environment to be productive, to be calmer, and to be

274
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.720
able to eventually fall asleep and stay asleep so that

275
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.200
your body can intuitively generate the hormones it needs in

276
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.799
order for you to function the next day. And that's

277
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.679
not a predetermined number. Right. There's a lot of talk

278
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:47.279
around HRT testosterone, progestion, estrogen, and doctors are promoting that

279
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:49.759
you have to be in a certain number range to

280
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.159
be normal. And I push back on that because everyone

281
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:58.120
has a unique ratio of hormones, just like everyone has

282
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:01.200
a unique thumbprint. Saying that every guy has to be

283
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:06.640
above six hundred in testosterone is way exaggerated because I

284
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:09.039
know plenty of people that operate really well at eight

285
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:15.799
hundred testosterone and people that operate horrifically at thousand testosterone ols.

286
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.680
And so I think it's unique for individuals. So what

287
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:22.559
our product does is how calm the quarters all down,

288
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.160
keep you on a nice even trajectory throughout the day,

289
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.480
brings your quarters all down nice and low in the evening,

290
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.400
and enables you to fall asleep and stay asleep so

291
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.480
that your body can naturally make the hormones and needs.

292
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.319
Where we had a lot of fun was we didn't

293
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.759
realize what we had developed until after the study, and

294
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.599
the study showed that we had a tremendous impact on

295
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:52.680
perimenopause symptoms for women, because when perimenopause hits, women's hormones

296
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.319
start to go a little crazy because they're erratic, they're

297
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.720
not consistent, which is why you get inconsistent per cycles.

298
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.759
Sometimes you're heavy, sometimes you skip it. Sometimes you get

299
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.039
really hot, sometimes you get really cold. Sometimes you can't

300
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.680
think about where I need to go. All normal signs

301
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.960
associated with that wonderful transition period at that particular point

302
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.240
in your life. Men happen to go through similar symptoms

303
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:20.759
by the way, it's called Andrea pause, but it stretches

304
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.000
over a much longer period of time. Men go from

305
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.200
thirties to seventies, where women are typically mid forties to

306
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.720
mid fifties, give or take. And so what we found

307
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:35.240
was by regulating cortsol enabling men and women to sleep,

308
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:39.319
symptoms were dramatically reduced because the body was able to

309
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:44.319
manufacture the hormones it needed, whether very small even though

310
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.000
they were very small for the following day, and we

311
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.960
saw an unprecedented outcome. We combined between two studies, one

312
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.279
open label, one double blind. We had over three hundred

313
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:57.440
and thirty one women in the study with the debilitating symptoms,

314
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.400
and we saw an average an eighty percent reduction in

315
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:07.599
hot flashes, massive, massive improvements, no severe adverse events whatsoever,

316
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.880
which is again the benefit of supplements completely compatible with

317
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.920
HRT and again works very nicely with HRT, enables you

318
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:19.000
to take less HRT because we're supporting the cortisol and

319
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.640
the sleep, and therefore you don't need as much HRT

320
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.480
because your body's naturally making what it can, even if

321
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.559
it is very little. We saw a huge improvement in

322
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:32.839
sleep and recovery, more rested when they're awakening. We saw

323
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:38.519
sixty percent improvement in energy and efficiency in working out

324
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.759
in recovery, we saw improvements in libido or we saw

325
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:46.480
reduction in weight gain, so visceral fat that comes with

326
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.240
high levels of cortisole, lack of sleep, in your body's

327
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:54.359
ability to metabolize more efficiently. We saw people losing anywhere

328
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.559
from one to two pen sizes in anywhere from six

329
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:01.400
to eight weeks. So we were seeing massive results or

330
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:05.440
from simply understanding the cause and effect associated with high

331
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:08.960
correres al and quality of sleep. That's the relationship that

332
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.799
we're talking about.

333
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.079
And how long has your product been out?

334
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:14.960
Been out for three years?

335
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:17.480
And are you following.

336
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.559
As to like you know when people are buying because

337
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.200
so many times, you know, especially you mentioned that you

338
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:28.319
know you are treating this as any other clinical material,

339
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:31.319
So like a lot of times, you know, when the

340
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:35.359
post approval phase is gone, you know, there's just kind

341
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.039
of following through, you know, is it living up to

342
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:38.880
its promises?

343
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:39.559
Is it?

344
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.039
Well, it comes down to again what you talked about.

345
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:46.039
When ninety two percent of people don't follow through on

346
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:50.119
their regimen, this is not This is not a magic pill.

347
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:52.880
There is no magic pill. I think even people that

348
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.559
are on a zimpip would say, well, that's a magic pill.

349
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.160
But it's got its side effects and consequences too. It's

350
00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.759
a wonderful drug, but it has definitely been abused and

351
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:05.400
there are some significant side effects associated with it. So

352
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.920
we're no different. Even though we're not a drug and

353
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.759
we are a supplement, there are issues with it, meaning

354
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:13.880
you have to use it, you have to stay on it,

355
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.880
you have to be on a routine, you have to

356
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.759
take it. It's not a difficult product to take. In fact,

357
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:22.359
I have some right here. It's just a simple mint

358
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:24.799
lozenge like an altoid, and you put in your mouth

359
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:26.559
and you're stuck on it like you would any other mint.

360
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:28.720
It's no big deal as long as you take it.

361
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:30.319
If you don't take it, it's not going to work

362
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:32.240
for you. And people say, well how long do I

363
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.440
have to take it for? Well, it's the same as

364
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:36.279
brushing your teeth. How many teeth would you like to

365
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.119
keep for the rest of your life? You have to

366
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.559
keep brushing them. It's the same thing there. Because technology

367
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.640
is not going away, right, This is not going with

368
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.079
This is the root cause of the problem. And I'm

369
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:51.880
not against technology, in fact, I use it every day.

370
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.119
But we're on a zoom call. Now, how wonderful do

371
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.279
we have to have this technology so we can have

372
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.000
this interaction? The problem is we weren't taught how to

373
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:01.599
use it responsibly and how it affects us as humans.

374
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.079
We haven't evolved. This has come a long way in

375
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:08.920
thirty years. Thirty years ago, we just started with email

376
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.759
and internet in the mass use of it. Right. The

377
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.759
iPhone came out in the two thousands, right. Since then,

378
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:20.559
our world has exploded, but disease, which is disease or

379
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:25.839
discomfort and health issues have skyrocketed. Mental health issues have

380
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.279
blown up out of proportion compared to where we were.

381
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.680
It's all because of this. We weren't taught how to

382
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.680
use this as humans. It's a tool, but a lot

383
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:41.920
of people use it unreasonably amount throughout the day and night.

384
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.319
And we now begin to know about blue lights. We're

385
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:46.920
learning about the sun and the moon, the effect we're

386
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:49.759
learning about sitting in our chairs all day and how

387
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.839
that has a negative effect on us. We weren't designed

388
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.599
to sit in chairs look at screens for sixteen hours

389
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.119
a day. That's just not what humans were designed to do.

390
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.039
And if we insist on doing that, we're going to

391
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.400
have health consequences. That's the bottom.

392
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:08.079
Line, absolutely, and that definitely makes sense. And here's the

393
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.359
thing what you've talked about that these smartphones came out

394
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:15.200
in two thousands and I resisted for good six to

395
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.759
seven years, and I had those touch phones, and while

396
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:24.480
I was sending text messages, I'm like, so well, So

397
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.759
coming back to the point. The point I'm making over

398
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.839
here is that you cannot do without technology because if

399
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:32.400
you think, like, oh, you know, I can go to

400
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:35.079
the bank like the good old days, it doesn't work

401
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:37.799
because you may be able to do it, but you

402
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:39.599
cannot do without it.

403
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:42.720
So well you can do it. It goes to your

404
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.839
first point, which is it's inefficient. You can deposit in

405
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.799
thirty seconds using your phone, right or I can spend

406
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:53.440
thirty minutes and go to the high street, go to

407
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.279
the bank and make the deposit. You know, you'd much

408
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.079
rather be more efficient with your time. That's what you're

409
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:04.000
constantly fighting is there is a there's always another way

410
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.119
of doing something. We tend to choose the most efficient

411
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:09.960
and the most effective, but that efficient and most effective

412
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.960
always tends to keep us stuck sitting.

413
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:18.640
Absolutely, so it's important to recognize that, yes, you know

414
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.160
it may cause efficiency, but like where to unplug, where

415
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.960
to put that phone down? Because I will tell you,

416
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.039
for most people that I have observed, the minute the

417
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.559
phone rings, the minute the notification goes, unless you turn

418
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:36.559
it off consciously, your hand goes for it. It's it's

419
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:41.400
almost like human beings have been designed to serve the phone,

420
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.160
not the other way around that. Okay, now the phone rings.

421
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:46.319
You know, I got an answer to my master. And

422
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.240
so these are the habits that have been created. And

423
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:54.359
you have talked about hormones. This like TikTok brain, watching things,

424
00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:58.920
watching different videos, it creates its dopamine. So we've talked

425
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:03.039
about a lot of different things, and you said that lostengeles. Now,

426
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:05.880
besides the things that you have shared, are there any

427
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:08.240
other things that you'd like to share with her audience?

428
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.519
Well, yeah, my book Stress Nation was written to explain

429
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:14.680
the why. It's not a sales stop. I'm not pushing

430
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.440
my lozenges. I mentioned it briefly in one chapter in

431
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:21.240
one paragraph. The book is designed to explain the why

432
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.559
how do we get into this problem in the first place.

433
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:27.079
And there are lots of things that I offer as

434
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:32.920
tips and strategies on how you can reorganize your priorities

435
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:38.160
around your health and your well being, things like really

436
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.680
really having superior sleep hygiene. And sleep hygiene is a

437
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.920
very big topic, but essentially it's a period of time

438
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:48.799
before you go to bed to have a ritual that

439
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.920
helps you wind down. And one of the important things

440
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.440
for me is no screens. Try and have no screens

441
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:58.880
two to three hours before bed really important because you

442
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:02.079
don't want to boost your It's kind of like, I'm

443
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:03.599
a bit of a wisp, but you know, can you

444
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.240
imagine watching a horror movie just before bed? You're up here,

445
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.920
your anxiety, your stress is up here. I don't want

446
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.799
horror movies. It's not for me, but you know, I

447
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:13.839
can imagine if I was, I wouldn't sleep that night.

448
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.960
I just would not sleep. That same thing is happening

449
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.720
when you pick up your phone and it's that dopamine

450
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:23.079
that you talk about when you scroll on the phone

451
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:25.759
in social media, that people are looking for that next

452
00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.799
dopamine hit, and it's empty. It's an empty hit of dopamine.

453
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.039
It's not authentic, it's not real to you. It just

454
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:35.839
keeps you in this horrible cycle of doom scrolling. And

455
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.680
so before you go to bed, a couple of hours

456
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:42.559
and no screens, meditate or for a walk, be with

457
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.640
your partner, your pets, your kids, or whoever, try and

458
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:50.319
bring yourself down into a very relaxed, calm state so

459
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:52.799
that when you do go to bed, you fall asleep

460
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.720
quickly and ideally you stay asleep. And talking about in

461
00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:59.759
that space in your bedroom, you want it to be

462
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.039
about sixty four degrees give will take a few degrees.

463
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:07.319
You want to go to bed in nonsynthetic natural fibers,

464
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:09.160
So don't go to bed in polyester because it's going

465
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.680
to warm your body up and potentially cause you to

466
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.319
wake up. You want to keep your body nice and cool.

467
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:16.480
You want the room to be dark. You don't want

468
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:18.359
to have a lot of noises in the room. If

469
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.759
you want to have sleep music and certain frequency music

470
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:25.039
to help get you into that state even better, and

471
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:29.359
then likewise, just being honest with ourselves. You know, I'm

472
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:31.759
in my fifties. If I have a heavy meal and

473
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:34.599
lots of water before I go to bed, my body

474
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:37.119
is going to wake me up at midnight to use

475
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.119
the bathroom. So try and go to bed on an

476
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.160
empty bladder. That's just like common says. Otherwise you're going

477
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:45.920
to get woken up and then it's very difficult to

478
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:50.119
potentially go back to sleep again. So likewise, we talk

479
00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.720
about food, you talk about water, Let's talk about alcohol.

480
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:55.599
Everyone thinks I need a drink to go to bed.

481
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.359
I've deserved that glass of wine. Yes, you've deserved it,

482
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:01.359
and you get to me as many choices as you like.

483
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:05.599
But understand that alcohol is not a sedative everyone thinks

484
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:09.480
it is. It actually turns into a stimulant after a

485
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:12.200
couple of hours because the alcohol gets converted to sugar

486
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:14.799
and boom, now I'm awake. So a lot of people

487
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:17.440
talk about I wake up at two in the morning.

488
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.519
I'm like, did you have a glass of wine with dinner? Yep,

489
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:24.799
that's why. And so I'm not preaching be a Buddhist.

490
00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:27.359
I'm not preaching no alcohol. Don't do that. I'm just

491
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:29.720
saying to understand that if you do do that, that

492
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.359
there is a reason that you are waking up. So

493
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:35.559
maybe do it on the weekends, maybe dur on a

494
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:37.400
Friday night, on a Saturday night, and so you have

495
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:39.599
your like you have a cheap meal once a week

496
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:41.039
for a lot of people that follow that kind of

497
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.960
diet where you eat healthy and you have a cheap

498
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:46.039
meal day. That's when you have your glass of wine.

499
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:49.039
That's when you have your alcohol or drink earlier in

500
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:53.000
the day, drink at lunchtime, have a glass of wine

501
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.200
with lunch or something, so that by the time you're

502
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.680
getting ready for bed, that's all out of your system.

503
00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:59.640
Those are the types of things that we need to

504
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.519
be on about, especially as we age, because we make

505
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:07.240
less hormones as we age, and therefore we're more susceptible

506
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.160
as we get older, and we're more vulnerable compared to

507
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:13.680
when we were kids, young teenagers in our early twenties,

508
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:16.440
pretty much invincible. You could do anything full a sleep,

509
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:18.839
like standing up, wake up the next day, and do

510
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:21.960
it all over again. As we get older, we kind

511
00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:23.680
of have to respect our bodies and our minds a

512
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.160
little bit more than we used to, simply because they're

513
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:28.440
a lot more fragile. Especially as we go through these

514
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:33.279
transitions through andreapause and menopause, menopause, et cetera, and we

515
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:36.200
get older, we have to understand that the biology a

516
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:39.680
little bit more, especially as it relates to technology.

517
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:41.759
Yeah, that's powerful.

518
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:46.319
You know, you have talked about hormones and andrew pause

519
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:49.000
and menopause and all that. So if people are looking

520
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:51.880
to understand about their hormones, what's the best way to

521
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:52.480
approach that?

522
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:58.359
Really, for me, it's you can't be an endrocronologist. You

523
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:02.160
just can't. I love my general practitioners, I love my

524
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:05.240
different doctors, but they didn't go to school for that.

525
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.240
And the way that the system in the US is

526
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:12.119
working is doctors are looking to earn a living just

527
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:14.759
as much as everybody else. It's not what it used to.

528
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:19.079
Insurance companies are not reimbursing doctors the way they used to,

529
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:23.000
and so doctors look for other channels of making revenue.

530
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:26.960
All of a sudden, you've got general practitioners who are

531
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:32.240
issuing hormones, and as much as they are knowledgeable, they're

532
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:35.079
no inhear knowledgeable or entrocnologists that actually specialize in that,

533
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:37.720
and I see a lot of clinics popping up around

534
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.759
the country with doctors associated that are hormone clinics, and

535
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.440
they may just you know, work with men on testosterone.

536
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:50.519
But you can't take one hormone in isolation. You just can't.

537
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:52.680
You have to look at it like a recipe for

538
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:55.640
a cake, and if you put way too much flour

539
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.880
in your cake is not going to work. If you

540
00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.039
put way too much water, it's not going to work.

541
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:02.240
It's the same with the human body. Your ratio of

542
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:05.680
hormones are unique to you. So the best way to

543
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.559
go about it, let's go find an entrocrinologist and go

544
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:12.480
get a comprehensive hormone panel. And then the doctor's going

545
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.279
to ask you a series of questions because the numbers

546
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:19.319
alone don't tell the story. Are you tired, are you sleeping?

547
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:22.480
How's your libido? How's your weight, how's your energy? Those

548
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.160
are all questions associated with how your body is functioning.

549
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.000
And based on the way you answer the questions, the

550
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:31.680
way that the complete hormone panel reads to the doctor,

551
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:36.480
they will make a recommendation to you. That isn't the

552
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.799
end of the story, because in ninety days time, we're

553
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:41.519
going to repeat the process all over again, because again

554
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:44.400
you're unique and all of a sudden your ratio of

555
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:47.440
hormones may fluctuate and be different. So in ninety days

556
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:51.519
we'll do another blood panel and don't come back to

557
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:55.480
the doctor, and we'll ask you are we doing better sleep, exercise, energy,

558
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.079
libido and so forth, and based on multiple data points,

559
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:03.160
make recommendations as to what they believe to be the

560
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:06.759
best course of action to optimize what you're doing. They

561
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:10.799
will also ask you, just like we've covered here lifestyle,

562
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:14.079
are you drinking, how's your diet actually eating? Are you're exercising?

563
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.519
So it is not like I said, it's not one

564
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:22.599
strategy fits all. Every human is different in every hormone panel,

565
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.640
it's going to be different, and the expertise from that

566
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:29.359
endocrinologist or hormone specialists. Let's be honest, there's other subcategories

567
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:32.440
that can go out there would work, But you're not

568
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.160
going to go to your optrometrists to get your leg reset,

569
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.480
So why would you go to a general practitioner to

570
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:43.160
get an expert opinion on your overall hormone wellness. We

571
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.319
have to be a little bit more I don't know

572
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.240
strict with who we seek advice from and how I

573
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.359
am not a doctor, I don't pretend to be, but

574
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.519
I put enough of the pieces together to understand the

575
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:58.000
big picture. And I always encourage people go see the

576
00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:02.880
expert and get someone understanding. Let's not be Google doctors.

577
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:07.000
It's not self diagnosed because there's so much misinformation out there.

578
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:07.960
It's unbelievable.

579
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:12.680
Absolutely, And then that's definitely a good point that seek

580
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:15.599
the experts who have done the work, who know and

581
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:19.119
guide you the right path, and knowing that it's not

582
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:24.240
one size fit salt no. Given all of that, how

583
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:28.559
can people find your book connect with you if they

584
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:29.079
seek too?

585
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:33.000
Wonderful? My book's available on Amazon. It's called stress Nation.

586
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:37.720
So it's available on our website, which is rebalancehealth dot com,

587
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:39.640
as well as our lozenges, and you get a hold

588
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:42.079
of me there as well. So we try to put

589
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:44.200
out as much good information as we possibly can. All

590
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:47.359
our clinical studies are on our website, and we're really

591
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:50.799
trying to help people understand how to live better, healthy

592
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.559
lives and learn what's happened in the past thirty years

593
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:57.400
and the stress that we're all feeling and the anxiety

594
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.039
we're all feeling is not normal, and we need to

595
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:03.839
put it back into contacts and take back control of

596
00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:05.440
our lives by putting it out boundaries.

597
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:07.920
Any last thoughts.

598
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:13.280
Yeah, I always like to say this is all well

599
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.000
and good, but the number one thing that you can

600
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:18.760
do for your health is to laugh and to smile

601
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:21.159
and to have fun. And I think one of the

602
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:25.639
things that have been remissed over the years is actually

603
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:27.480
going back to the person that you fell in love

604
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.519
with and go flowt to go have fun, Go be kids,

605
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:33.480
go have fun. Don't take yourself too seriously. That's a

606
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:35.800
wonderful way of bringing your quarters all down. And it's

607
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.400
to cheap. It just takes your time and mean a

608
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:42.280
little mindful to remember. I try to make my wife

609
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:44.599
giggle and laugh at least five times a day. That's

610
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.360
my personal objective and I think if you can do that,

611
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:50.519
it lightens the mood. It just brings love and joy

612
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:54.000
into the world, and more importantly, it's amazingly good for

613
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:54.440
your health.

614
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:59.320
Yeah, and as you mentioned, it's such an easy access

615
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:03.360
to have. Thank you justin for joining us and sharing
