1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
What was your goal for being on the show?

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,760
I love educating people.

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,200
In fact, that was my first career.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,520
I wrote it in my first memoir

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,400
about my time with the Navajo people.

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,480
You know the Navajos, you know, Native Americans.

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,880
And this was 53 years ago.

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,720
I was a school teacher.

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,920
And during my 10-year search for my purpose,

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,680
each thing I did, like Peace Corps

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,120
and outbound teaching students and so forth,

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,440
and then teaching on the Navajo reservation,

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,920
in each place I realized that I am an educator at heart.

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,240
And I'm that kind of educator as a doctor too.

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,280
I'm not willing to say, do this and do that

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,600
like I'm the boss and you do what I say

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,000
and don't ask questions.

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,240
I think that's disgusting, that approach.

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,800
When a patient comes to me, I educate them.

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,120
I tell them why the diet makes a difference.

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,960
I tell them why this supplement might do this and that.

22
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,000
I don't just say, take it.

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,680
I don't do that.

24
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,680
So as an educator, I'm looking for every possibility

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,680
to educate the public if they want to be educated.

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,040
I learned the hard way that you only,

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,680
my son reminded me of this because he said,

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,040
mom, you wanna help everybody.

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,040
Some people don't wanna be helped.

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,680
And mom, you should stick with just people

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,080
who come to you for help and pay you for help.

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,680
They pay you so they have skin in their hands.

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,840
They pay you for help, they pay you so they have skin

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,240
in the game and they're not just getting free care,

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080
which they can just blow off and not take seriously.

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,800
And he's right.

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,080
He's absolutely right.

38
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,080
I should share my gifts with people who ask me to

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,880
and but there's a lot of people out there

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,200
that don't know this stuff.

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,200
And I would love to share with people who are interested

42
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:43,200
in learning how to be healthy.
